[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to a structure for mounting a headlamp to the front grille of a vehicle bonnet, and aims to reduce the number of parts required to install the headlamp and facilitate the installation work. This is what we aim to do.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, when attaching a headlamp to the front grill of the hood of a vehicle, an opening for attaching the headlamp is formed in the front grille, and a lamp grille with a frame surrounded by the inner surface of the opening is attached to and detached from the front grille. A headlamp fixture is detachably attached to the lamp grille, and a headlamp surrounded by a frame of the lamp grille is detachably attached to the headlamp fixture.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the above-mentioned conventional headlamp installation and replacement work, the lamp grille is attached and removed from the front grille, the headlamp fitting is attached and removed from the lamp grille, and then the headlamp is attached and replaced from the headlamp fitting. had to be attached and detached, which took time.

This is because two types of parts, the lamp grille and the headlamp mount, are used to attach the headlamp to the front grille, which increases the number of parts.

In view of the above, the present invention aims to reduce the number of parts by eliminating the need for a headlamp mounting tool when installing a headlamp to a front grill, thereby facilitating the work of installing the headlamp.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention is a technical means taken to solve the problems of the prior art.A headlamp mounting opening 7 is formed in the front grille 5 of the bonnet 2 of the vehicle 1. 7 Lamp grill surrounded by inner surface 8
is removably attached to the front grill 5, and a headlamp 6 is detachably attached to the lamp grill 8, and protrudes outward in the vertical direction from the left and right center portions on one side of the top and bottom of the lamp grill 8 and on both left and right sides of the other side. A tongue piece 19 is provided on the headlamp 6 so as to protrude from each of the protruding pieces 12 in a front-back direction, and these protruding pieces 12 and tongue pieces 19 are screwed together with a screw 21 so that the interval can be freely adjusted. At the same time, a spring 20 is compressedly interposed between the projecting piece 12 and the tongue piece 19, and the lamp grille 8 is connected to the upper frame body 9a and the lower frame body 9b.
A gap 8 is provided between the upper and lower frames 9a and 9b for adjusting the dimensions of the lamp grille 8.

(Function) Since the headlamp 6 is removably attached to the lamp grille 8, there is no need for parts such as conventional headlamp fittings, which are removably attached to the lamp grille and on which the headlamp is detachably attached. Further, by screwing the screws 21 forward or backward to individually adjust the gap between the protruding piece 12 and the tongue piece, the headlamp 6 is tilted and its direction is changed, and the protruding piece 12 and the tongue piece are adjusted. What is 19?
Since the lamp grill 8 and the headlamp 6 are arranged in three locations, one in the left and right center on one side above and below the other, and on both left and right sides on the other side, the headlamp 6 can be oriented not only vertically but also horizontally and diagonally. The direction can be easily changed by simply rotating the screw 21 in the direction. Furthermore, when the vertical dimension of the headlamp mounting opening 7 is formed small, the lamp grille 8
This can be achieved by reducing the size of the gap 8 between the upper and lower frames 9a, 9b and adjusting the size of the lamp grille 8.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 5 shows an agricultural tractor 1 as an example of a vehicle, which is equipped with a bonnet 2 that encloses an engine and the like. The bonnet 2 includes a top plate 3, left and right side plates 4,
It has a front grill 5, and the front grill 5 is formed of casting. A pair of left and right headlamps 6 are attached to the front grille 5.

1 to 4 show a structure for mounting a headlamp 6 to a front grille 5. FIG.

First, a pair of left and right headlamp mounting openings 7 are formed in the front grille 5 by casting.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a lamp grill, which is surrounded by the inner surface of the headlamp mounting opening 7 and consists of a pair of upper and lower U-shaped upper and lower frames 9a and 9b. An L having upwardly rising portions 11a at two positions on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the upper frame body 9a.
A bracket 11 in the shape of a letter is welded and provided therebetween, and an upwardly projecting piece 12 is welded therebetween. Also,
There are downward protruding pieces 1 at two positions on the left and right sides of the lower surface of the lower frame body 9b.
2 and 12 are welded together, and an L-shaped bracket 11 having a downwardly rising portion 11a is welded therebetween.

From the back of the front grill 5 facing the rising portion 11a of each L-shaped bracket 11,
A rear protrusion 13 is integrally provided, and the rear protrusion 13 and the rising portion 11a are in contact with each other and are removably screwed together with a screw 14. Thereby, the lamp grill 8 is detachably attached to the front grill 5. In addition, the upper and lower frames 9
There is a gap 8 between opposing portions a and 9b. this is,
Since the headlamp mounting opening 7 is formed by casting, the vertical dimensions of the opening 7 are inaccurate and too small, making it impossible to surround the lamp grille 8 with the inner surface of the opening 7. In such cases, the pair of upper and lower frames 9
By adjusting the dimension of the lamp grille 8 by reducing the dimension of the gap 8 between the facing portions a and 9b,
This can prevent a situation in which the lamp grill 8 cannot be attached to the front grill 5.

The headlamp 6 includes a substrate 17 having a lamp bulb 16 attached to its front surface, and a transparent body 18 that is fixed to the substrate 17 and encloses the lamp bulb 16. Further, a tongue piece 19 that projects upwardly is provided at the center of the upper part of the back surface of the substrate 17, and tongue pieces 19, 19 that project downwardly are welded to two positions on the left and right sides of the lower part of the back face, respectively.

The headlamp 6 is surrounded by a lamp grille 8, and the front surface of the outer periphery of the substrate 17 is in contact with the rear surface of the lamp grille 8. In this state, each protruding piece 12 of the lamp grill 8 and each tongue piece 9 of the headlamp 6 are opposed to each other, and the coil spring 20 is elastically compressed and held between them. The coil spring 20 is removably screwed into the coil spring 20 by a screw 21 that passes through the coil spring 20.
The distance between the tongue piece 19 and the protruding piece 12 is adjustable. As a result, the headlamp 6 is detachably attached to the lamp grille 8, and the protruding piece 12 is screwed in or out by screwing the screw 21.
By individually adjusting the distance between the headlamp 6 and the tongue 19, the headlamp 6 can be tilted and its direction can be changed.

According to the above embodiment, the headlamp 6 is detachably attached to the lamp grille 8 which is detachably attached to the front grille 5, and the headlamp 6 can be detachably attached to the lamp grille 8 like a conventional headlamp fitting. At the same time, a part to which the headlamp 6 is detachably attached becomes unnecessary. As a result, the number of parts can be reduced compared to the conventional one, and the work of installing and replacing the headlamp 6 becomes easier.

Note that the front grill 5 is not limited to casting, and may be made of resin.

(Effects of the invention) According to the invention, the lamp grill is removably attached to the front grill, and the head lamp is removably attached to the lamp grill, so it can be attached to the lamp grill removably as in the past. At the same time, a headlamp mount to which the headlamp is detachably mounted is not required, the number of parts is reduced, and headlamp installation and replacement operations are facilitated. Further, by screwing the screws 21 forward or backward to individually adjust the distance between the protruding piece 12 and the tongue piece 19, the headlamp 6 is tilted and its direction is changed, and the protruding piece 12 and the tongue piece 19 are adjusted individually. Piece 1
9 are arranged in three locations, one at the left and right center on one side of the top and bottom of the lamp grille 8 and the headlamp 6, and the other on both sides, so the headlamp 6 can be oriented not only up and down but also left and right. direction,
The direction can be easily changed by simply rotating the screw 21 in any direction such as an oblique direction. Furthermore, when the vertical dimension of the headlamp mounting opening 7 is formed small, the dimension of the lamp grill 8 can be adjusted by reducing the dimension of the gap 8 between the upper and lower frames 9a, 9b of the lamp grill 8. A situation in which the grille 8 cannot be attached to the front grille 5 can be prevented.
