[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a vehicle controller cover device, and more particularly to a vehicle controller cover device used as a waterproof cover for a controller installed in a vehicle body of an automobile.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, automobiles and the like have been equipped with a relatively large number of controllers that automatically control various mounted devices. This type of controller is generally installed in a floor portion outside the vehicle compartment, such as in the engine compartment of the vehicle, due to reasons such as wiring and space. For this reason, the controller may be splashed with water when it rains or when it is washed, and various measures have been proposed in the past to prevent this.

As an example thereof, for example, one piece of PET (polyethylene terephthalate resin) is attached to a controller with a double-sided tape, and the connector portion of this controller is covered. In addition, a cover made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is provided, and this cover is fixed to the controller with screws (screws, bolts, etc.). Further, as another, P.I. The controller was prevented from getting wet by molding a resin product such as P.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-mentioned conventional examples, most of them are made of a material having a constant thickness. On the other hand, on the floor outside the passenger compartment (for example, engine room), various machines and the like are arranged intricately so that there is almost no gap. For this reason, in order to attach the controller cover to the floor outside the passenger compartment, the mounting space had to be secured on the floor outside the passenger compartment, which was a very difficult task. Also, when installing the controller cover on the floor such as in the engine room, it was necessary to newly prepare screws and the like. Further, the cover of the above-mentioned conventional example needs a certain shape to protect the controller from water, and there is a disadvantage that the shape becomes complicated.

[0005]

【Purpose】

 The object of the present invention is to improve the inconvenience of the conventional example, in particular, to reduce the space for mounting the controller cover on the floor of the vehicle and to improve the workability when mounting this cover on the floor of the vehicle. Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cover device for a vehicle controller which is inexpensive.

[Action]

 First, when the controller body is covered with a box-shaped soft surface member and installed on the floor of the vehicle, the shape of the soft surface member may be distorted or slightly folded to fit the floor of the vehicle. Can be turned on.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 shows a cover device 1 for a vehicle controller according to this embodiment. In this figure, a controller body 2 for a vehicle is covered with a box-shaped planar soft member 3 having one opening, and a harness section 2A of the controller body 2 is arranged on the box-shaped opening 3A side. Then, a predetermined portion of the planar soft member 3 located on the side of the opening 3A is fixed to the controller body 2, and the controller body 3 covered with the planar soft member 3 is mounted on the floor portion of the vehicle. Has been done.

More specifically, a pair of locking portions for attaching the controller body 2 to the floor portion 6 (see FIGS. 3 to 4) of the vehicle are provided on both sides of the upper surface portion 2E of the controller body 2. 2B and 2B are mounted respectively. Further, these locking portions 2B, 2B are mounted in parallel with the upper surface portion 2E, and screw holes 2C are formed at predetermined positions thereof. Here, the reference numeral 2A indicates the harness unit 2A of the controller body 2.

The planar soft member (cover) 3 is made of soft vinyl chloride and has a box shape as a whole. An opening 3A is formed in one of the planar soft members 3. Also, double-sided tapes 4 and 5 for fixing the planar soft member 3 to the controller body 2 are mounted on the inner side surfaces of the side walls 3B and 3C of the planar soft member 3 near the opening 3, respectively. ing.

The planar soft member 3 configured as described above is configured so that the harness portion 2A of the controller body 2 comes into the opening 3A of the planar soft member 3 as shown in FIG. The main body 2 is covered (stored). Further, in this state, the double-sided tapes 4 and 5 mounted on the inner side surfaces of the side wall portions 3B and 3C of the planar soft member 3 adhere to the upper surface portion 2E and the bottom surface portion 2F of the controller body 2, and thereby the planar surface The soft member 3 is fixed to the controller body 2. Further, the controller body 2 is mounted on the floor portion 6 of the vehicle while being covered with the planar soft member 3 (see FIG. 3).

Next, how to equip the floor portion 6 of the vehicle with the controller body 2 covered with the planar soft member 3 will be described with reference to FIG.

First, in FIG. 3, the controller body 2 covered with the above-mentioned planar soft member 3 is brought into contact with the mounting portion 6A of the floor portion 6 of the vehicle. In this case, each of the pair of locking portions 2B, 2B of the controller 2 described above abuts on the mounting portion 6A via the side wall portion 3B of the planar soft member 3. Then, the screw member 7 such as a screw is screwed into the screw hole 2C of the pair of locking portions 2B, 2B from the direction opposite to the mounting portion 6A (direction of arrow A in FIG. 3). At this time, the screw member 7 is screwed into the screw hole 2C while breaking the side wall portion 3B of the planar soft member 3. However, the breakage of the side wall portion 3B of the planar soft member 3 does not affect the waterproof effect because it breaks around the outer peripheral surface of the screw member 7. Then, when the screw member 7 is completely screwed into the screw holes 2C of the pair of locking portions 2B, 2B, the controller body 2 covered by the planar soft member 3 with respect to the floor portion 6 of the vehicle. The mounting work is completed. Here, reference numeral 10 indicates a washer liquid tank.

Further, FIG. 2 shows a state in which the planar soft member 3 is covered with two controller bodies 2 and 8. In this case, first, the controller bodies 2 and 8 are connected to each other. This coupling method is, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the same locking portions 2G and 2G as the pair of locking portions 2B and 2B having the screw holes 2C described above are respectively attached to the bottom surface of the controller body 2. 2F is newly provided, and the locking portions 2G, 2G and the locking portions 8B, 8B pre-installed in the controller body 8 are fixed and coupled by screws or the like. The controller main bodies 2 and 8 thus combined are covered with the relatively large planar soft member 3 in the same manner as described above. The controller bodies 2 and 8 covered with the planar soft member 3 are mounted on the floor portion 6 of the vehicle as shown in FIG. Since this mounting method is the same as that in the case of FIG. 3 described above, the description thereof will be omitted here.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the controller body 2 for a vehicle is covered with the box-shaped planar soft member 3 having one opening, and the controller is provided on the side of the box-shaped opening 3A. The harness portion 2A of the main body 2 is arranged, a predetermined portion of the planar soft member 3 located on the side of the opening 3A is fixed to the controller main body 2, and the controller main body is covered with the planar soft member 3. Since 3 is mounted on the floor of the vehicle, the cost is low if the sheet-like soft member 3 is made of soft ENVI, and its shape does not require much accuracy, so that it can be easily manufactured. Also, a double-sided tape is used to fix the planar soft member 3 in a state of being covered with the controller bodies 2 and 8. Therefore, the number of parts such as bolts and screws can be reduced, and workability is improved accordingly. Furthermore, since the sheet-like soft member 3 is manufactured from soft ENVI, it can be stored in a small space and can be easily managed even if it is mass-produced without being bulky. Also, when the controller bodies 2 and 8 are mounted on the planar soft member 3 with bolts, screws, etc., holes are made in the planar soft member 3, but screws such as bolts, screws, etc. Since only the part has holes, the waterproof effect remains the same. Further, the box-shaped planar soft member 3 is attached to the floor portion 6 of the vehicle while the side wall portion 3B is sandwiched between the locking portions 2B, 2B of the controller body 2 and the floor portion 6 of the vehicle. Therefore, the attachment state of the planar soft member 3 is stable. For this reason. There is no need for dedicated bolts, screws, etc. for attaching conventional covers, etc. to the floor portion 6 of the vehicle, and holes (screw holes, etc.) for receiving these bolts, screws, etc. are provided in the vehicle's floor portion 6. No need to provide. Furthermore, since the box-shaped planar soft member 3 of this embodiment is manufactured from soft plastic or the like, it can be formed relatively thin and has excellent flexibility. For this reason, the shape of the sheet-like soft member 3 can be distorted according to the floor portion 6 of the vehicle, or can be folded to some extent and squeezed. Therefore, the planar soft member 3 can be easily attached to the floor portion 6 of a narrow vehicle even when the controller bodies 2 and 8 are covered.

[Effect of the device]

 Since the present invention is configured and functions as described above, according to this, the controller main body for the vehicle is covered with a box-shaped planar soft member having one opening, and the box-shaped opening side is covered. The harness part of the controller main body is installed in the controller body, and the specified part of the planar soft member located on the opening side is fixed to the controller main body. The sheet-like soft member can be made of a relatively inexpensive material such as soft ENVI. Further, the method of attaching the planar soft member to the floor portion of the vehicle is performed by sandwiching the side wall of the planar soft member 3 between the controller body and the floor portion of the vehicle. Further, since the sheet-shaped soft member as the cover is manufactured from soft ENVI or the like, it can be formed relatively thin and has excellent flexibility. For this reason, the shape of the sheet-like soft member can be distorted according to the floor portion of the vehicle, or can be folded in multiple folds to be dipped. Therefore, the box-shaped sheet-like soft member can be easily attached to the narrow floor portion of the vehicle even when the controller body is covered. In addition, the space for mounting the box-shaped planar soft member on the vehicle floor is reduced, and no screw or the like is required to mount this planar soft member on the vehicle floor. It is possible to provide an unprecedented practical controller cover device for a vehicle, which has a good work system in time.
