Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a mounting device for mounting an inductor-type vehicle-mounted audio device to a panel.

[Prior art] For example, the West German Publication Publication
A device is known that is configured to be attached via a case-like member with both ends open, such as a frame as described in Japanese Patent No. 2903176.

With this structure, in consideration of the ease of removing the audio equipment once it has been installed in the case, a removal tool is prepared, and this tool is inserted between the case and the audio equipment itself from the front of the panel. After inserting the audio device, the case and the audio device main body can be disconnected from each other, and the audio device main body can be pulled out from the case.

That is, in the device described in West German Publication No. 2903176, the locking tip of a locking member made of an elastic plate provided on the side of the housing of something like a car radio is elastically locked in a locking notch provided in the frame. It is configured so that the frame can be stopped and an audio device such as a car radio can be attached to the frame.

When removing something like a car radio, a rod-shaped tool is inserted into the insertion hole drilled in the front panel of the car radio, and the locking tip of the locking member is locked. It is designed to be removed by releasing the locked state with the stop notch.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] By the way, with the above structure,
Since it is configured to maintain the locked state using only the elastic member, the locking member is elastically deformed due to inertia due to unintended vibrations or strong impacts, and the locking tip is not engaged with the locking notch. If the stopped state is released, there is a risk that the in-vehicle equipment will come off the frame, which poses a problem in terms of installation stability. Furthermore, since the insertion hole into which the tool is inserted is exposed in the front plate, some aesthetic problems remain.

The present invention was made in view of the actual state of the prior art, and its purpose is to make it possible to release the locked state without using artificial means such as tools, once a locked state occurs. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mounting device for a vehicle-mounted audio device that is impossible to perform and is aesthetically acceptable.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The above object is to provide a mounting device for attaching an audio device to a vehicle, which includes: an opening into which the in-vehicle audio device is inserted; a first stopper portion for positioning the in-vehicle audio device; A case is provided with a locking part for locking the in-vehicle audio equipment and is fixed by being inserted into a mounting hole formed in a panel; It has a second stopper part that abuts and is positioned, and an engaging part that releasably engages with the locking part, and when the insertion of the in-vehicle audio equipment into the case is completed. , an engaging member provided on the vehicle audio device main body, in which the engaging portion engages with the locking portion; and an engaging portion of the engaging member when the vehicle audio device is inserted into the case. After the engaging part is engaged with the engaging part, the face plate is attached to the front periphery of the main body of the vehicle-mounted audio equipment, and the engaging part and the engaging part are connected to the face plate. This is achieved by forming a regulating portion that later maintains the engaged state.

[Function] According to the above means, when the in-vehicle audio equipment is inserted into the case, the engaging member is engaged with the locking portion, and the face plate is attached to the periphery of the audio equipment main body, the face plate Since the engagement state between the engagement part and the locking part is maintained by the regulating part provided in the front part, the engagement state cannot be released unless the face plate is removed from the periphery of the audio equipment main body. Therefore, a situation where the main body of the audio equipment comes off from the case due to unintended external force such as vibration or impact will not occur.
