【０００１】[0001]
本考案は自動車の内装部材の取付け構造、例えばインストルメントパネルに対 するクラスタの結合構造、或いはクラスタ同士の結合構造に関する。 The present invention relates to a mounting structure for an interior member of an automobile, for example, a cluster connecting structure for an instrument panel or a cluster connecting structure.
【０００２】[0002]
従来から、自動車のインストルメントパネルには、例えば空調用コントロール パネルやオーディオ操作器材等の各種内装品が取りつけられる。そして、これら の内装品の周辺部には、同内装品形状の開口を有する枠状に形成された幾つかの クラスタが取りつけられ、運転席の前面を構成する。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various interior parts such as an air-conditioning control panel and audio operation equipment are attached to an instrument panel of an automobile. Then, in the periphery of these interior parts, several clusters formed in the shape of a frame having openings of the same interior part are attached to form the front of the driver's seat.
【０００３】 図４及び図５は、従来のかかるクラスタ同士の結合構造を示している。図４は 同結合構造の縦断面図であり、図５は同結合構造の要部を拡大して示す縦断面図 である。FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 show a conventional coupling structure between such clusters. FIG. 4 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the same coupling structure, and FIG. 5 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing an enlarged main part of the same coupling structure.
【０００４】 これらの図において、１はインストルメントパネルの一部である空調グリル部 を示し、同空調グリル部１の下部に形成されているクラスタ５を嵌込み固定する ための開口部には、上端にクラスタ５の上端を結合するための結合部１Ａを有す ると共に、その開口部の下端にはクラスタ５の下端部を結合するためのネジ孔を 有している。前記結合部１Ａは図５に明示するごとくクラスタ５の後述する外周 壁５Ａの先端部５ａを挿入するための取付溝１０Ａが形成されると共に、同取付 溝１０Ａの内壁面には図示せぬ係止突起が所定の間隔をおいて形成されている。In these drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes an air conditioning grill part which is a part of an instrument panel, and an opening for fitting and fixing a cluster 5 formed in a lower part of the air conditioning grill part 1 includes: The upper end has a connecting portion 1A for connecting the upper end of the cluster 5, and the lower end of the opening has a screw hole for connecting the lower end of the cluster 5. As shown in FIG. 5, the coupling portion 1A has a mounting groove 10A for inserting a tip portion 5a of an outer peripheral wall 5A, which will be described later, of the cluster 5, and an inner wall surface of the mounting groove 10A, which is not shown. Stop protrusions are formed at a predetermined interval.
【０００５】 一方のクラスタ５は、合成樹脂材料からなる枠状に成形されたものであり、上 記各種内装品を嵌め込むための窓６を有しており、同窓６の上縁部を構成する外 周壁５Ａの先端部５ａには、上記空調グリル部１の結合部１Ａに形成された図示 せぬ係止突起と弾力的に係合する図示せぬ引掛爪を有しており、また前記窓６の 下端部を構成する外周壁５Ａの一部には上記空調グリル部１のネジ孔に対応する ネジ孔が形成されている。One of the clusters 5, which is formed in a frame shape made of a synthetic resin material, has a window 6 into which the above-mentioned various interior parts are fitted, and constitutes the upper edge portion of the window 6. The front end portion 5a of the outer peripheral wall 5A has a hooking claw (not shown) that elastically engages with a locking protrusion (not shown) formed on the coupling portion 1A of the air conditioning grill part 1, and A screw hole corresponding to the screw hole of the air conditioning grill portion 1 is formed in a part of the outer peripheral wall 5A forming the lower end portion of the window 6.
【０００６】 いま、クラスタ５を空調グリル部１に嵌込固定しようとする場合は、まず図４ に仮想線で示す如くクラスタ５の先端部５ａを空調グリル部１の取付溝１０Ａに 挿入して、空調グリル部１の結合部１Ａに形成された図示せぬ係止突起に同じく 図示せぬクラスタ５の先端部５ａの引掛爪を弾力的に係合しながら矢印Ａの方向 に回動させ、クラスタ５の下端部外周壁を空調グリル部１の下端部に取付ネジ７ により結合固定する。Now, when trying to fit and fix the cluster 5 in the air conditioning grill part 1, first, as shown by phantom lines in FIG. 4, the tip part 5 a of the cluster 5 is inserted into the mounting groove 10 A of the air conditioning grill part 1. , While elastically engaging the hooking claw of the tip portion 5a of the cluster 5 (not shown) with the locking protrusion (not shown) formed on the coupling portion 1A of the air conditioning grill portion 1, the arrow claw is rotated in the direction of arrow A. The outer peripheral wall of the lower end portion of the cluster 5 is coupled and fixed to the lower end portion of the air conditioning grill portion 1 with a mounting screw 7.
【０００７】 また、空調グリル１からクラスタ５を取外すときは、ネジ７を外してからクラ スタ５を矢印Ａと反対方向に回動させた後、前記係止突起から引掛爪を外し、ク ラスタ５の先端部５ａを取付溝１０Ａから引き抜くようにして取り外す。Further, when removing the cluster 5 from the air conditioning grill 1, after removing the screw 7, the cluster 5 is rotated in the direction opposite to the arrow A, and then the hooking claw is removed from the locking projection to remove the cluster. The tip portion 5a of 5 is removed by pulling it from the mounting groove 10A.
【０００８】[0008]
ところで、かかるクラスタの結合構造では、空調グリル部１からクラスタ５を 取り外すときは、前述のごとくクラスタ５の先端部５ａを中心として空調グリル 部１の取付溝１０Ａの内部で回動させることが必要であるため、前記取付溝１０ Ａの内部にはクラスタ５の先端部５ａが回動できるための空間Ｈを形成すること が必要となる。そのため、取付溝１０Ａの溝幅Ｌ1 は外周壁の先端部５ａの厚み Ｌ2 よりも大きく設計される。By the way, in such a cluster coupling structure, when the cluster 5 is removed from the air conditioning grill section 1, it is necessary to rotate the tip 5a of the cluster 5 inside the mounting groove 10A of the air conditioning grill section 1 as described above. Therefore, it is necessary to form a space H inside the mounting groove 10A so that the tip portion 5a of the cluster 5 can rotate. Therefore, the groove width L 1 of the mounting groove 10A is designed to be larger than the thickness L 2 of the tip portion 5a of the outer peripheral wall.
【０００９】 しかるに、かかる設計構造によれば、図５に仮想線で示すごとく加工誤差によ りクラスタ５の外形寸法が基準寸法より小さく製作されると、組付けられたクラ スタ５の外周壁先端部５ａと取付溝１０Ａの溝側面の間に隙間Ｘが形成されるば かりでなく、取付溝１０Ａの内壁面の係止突起とクラスタ５の外周壁先端部５ａ の引掛爪の位置がズレ、外周壁５Ａが長さ方向に波うち、外観上の見栄えが悪い ばかりでなく、空調グリル１とクラスタ５の結合状態が不安定となる。However, according to such a design structure, when the outer dimension of the cluster 5 is made smaller than the reference dimension due to a processing error as shown by a phantom line in FIG. 5, the outer peripheral wall of the assembled cluster 5 is Not only the gap X is formed between the tip portion 5a and the side surface of the mounting groove 10A, but also the position of the engaging projection on the inner wall surface of the mounting groove 10A and the position of the hooking claw of the outer peripheral wall tip portion 5a of the cluster 5 are displaced. The outer peripheral wall 5A is wavy in the lengthwise direction, and not only does it look bad in appearance, but also the connection state between the air conditioning grill 1 and the cluster 5 becomes unstable.
【００１０】 本考案は上述の課題を解決すべく開発されたものであり、その目的は高精度の 加工を必要とせず、しかも結合が堅固であり、且つ外観の良好なクラスタの結合 構造を提供することにある。The present invention was developed to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a cluster bonding structure that does not require high-precision machining, has a strong bond, and has a good appearance. To do.
【００１１】[0011]
前記目的を達成するため本考案の主要な構成を、下端にネジ固定部を有するク ラスタの上壁部に嵌合爪を一定間隔をおいて水平に突出し、各嵌合爪の中間に弧 状の下面を有する押当て回動リブを設け、相手方取付部の下縁には前記嵌合爪の 嵌合孔及び係合突片を有する垂直部と水平部とからなる断面Ｌ字状のガイドブラ ケットを設け、前記押当て回動リブを前記水平部上で回動させつつ上記係合突片 を上記嵌合爪の係合部に係止させてなることを特徴とするクラスタの結合構造と している。 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the main constitution of the present invention is that a fitting claw is horizontally projected at a constant interval on the upper wall of a cluster having a screw fixing part at the lower end, and an arc shape is formed in the middle of each fitting claw. Is provided with a pressing rotation rib having a lower surface, and a guide bra having an L-shaped cross section including a vertical portion and a horizontal portion having a fitting hole of the fitting claw and an engaging protrusion at the lower edge of the mating mounting portion. And a coupling structure for a cluster, wherein the engaging protrusion is locked to the engaging portion of the fitting claw while the pressing rotation rib is rotated on the horizontal portion. is doing.
【００１２】[0012]
例えば、上下クラスタを組付けるときは、まず下部クラスタの上壁部を上部ク ラスタの下端部とガイドブラケットの水平部との間に形成される挿入溝部分に挿 入しながら、各嵌合爪を相対するそれぞれの嵌合孔に挿通させる。このとき、嵌 合爪と相対するそれぞれの嵌合孔に対する設計上の精度は余り高い必要がなく、 また例え加工上に多少の誤差が生じても、各嵌合爪は上壁部の下面に形成された 押当て回動リブの弧状下面がガイドブラケットの水平部の上面に当接した状態で スムースに押し込まれる。 For example, when assembling the upper and lower clusters, first insert the upper wall of the lower cluster into the insertion groove formed between the lower end of the upper cluster and the horizontal part of the guide bracket, Are inserted into the respective fitting holes facing each other. At this time, it is not necessary that the design accuracy for each fitting hole facing the fitting claw is very high, and even if some error occurs in the processing, each fitting claw will be attached to the lower surface of the upper wall part. The arcuate lower surface of the formed pressing and rotating rib is smoothly pushed in with the upper surface of the horizontal portion of the guide bracket abutting.
【００１３】 この状態で、下部クラスタを下方に回動させると、下部クラスタは上壁部の押 当て回動リブの弧状下面を支点として弾性的に回動し、且つ嵌合爪の先端を上方 に回動させて、嵌合爪の係合部に係合突片が係合すると同時に、上壁部上面を上 部クラスタの水平枠部の先端下面に弾性的に押し付ける。次いで、下部クラスタ のネジ固定部を、例えばインストルメントパネルの取付部に取付ネジをもって固 定して、下部クラスタの取り付けを完了する。In this state, when the lower cluster is rotated downward, the lower cluster elastically rotates about the arcuate lower surface of the pressing rotation rib of the upper wall portion as a fulcrum, and the tip of the fitting claw moves upward. Then, the engaging projection is engaged with the engaging portion of the fitting claw, and at the same time, the upper surface of the upper wall portion is elastically pressed against the lower end of the horizontal frame portion of the upper cluster. Then, the screw fixing portion of the lower cluster is fixed to the mounting portion of the instrument panel with a mounting screw, for example, to complete the mounting of the lower cluster.
【００１４】 こうして取付けられる下部クラスタと上部クラスタの結合部分において、設計 上に多少の誤差があっても、各々の嵌合部及び係合部が互いに干渉することなく スムースに組付けられ、しかも長さ方向に配設された複数の押当て回動リブによ り、下部クラスタの上壁部は長さ方向にわたって上部クラスタの水平枠部の先端 縁に均等に押し付けられるため、表面が波うち状とはならず、極めて良好な外観 を呈する。In the connecting portion of the lower cluster and the upper cluster thus attached, even if there are some errors in the design, the fitting portion and the engaging portion are smoothly assembled without interfering with each other, and the length is long. The upper wall of the lower cluster is evenly pressed against the top edge of the horizontal frame of the upper cluster by the multiple pressing ribs arranged in the vertical direction. However, the appearance is extremely good.
【００１５】 また、上述のごとく組付けられた下部クラスタを上部クラスタから取り外すと きは、まず取付ネジを外し、その後に下部クラスタを上述とは反対方向に回動さ せる。このとき、弾性変形している下部クラスタは原形に復元するため、下部ク ラスタの前記回動操作は極めて容易である。次いで、下部クラスタを押当て回動 リブの弧状下面を支点として更に軽く同方向に回動させると、係合突片が嵌合爪 の係合部から容易に外れ、この状態で下部クラスタを上部クラスタから引抜けば 、取外しが終わる。When the lower cluster assembled as described above is to be removed from the upper cluster, the mounting screw is first removed, and then the lower cluster is rotated in the opposite direction to the above. At this time, since the elastically deformed lower cluster is restored to its original shape, the rotating operation of the lower cluster is extremely easy. Next, when the lower cluster is pressed and rotated more lightly in the same direction with the arc-shaped lower surface of the rotation rib as the fulcrum, the engaging projection easily disengages from the engaging portion of the fitting claw, and in this state the lower cluster moves upward. Once removed from the cluster, removal is complete.

【００１９】 前記上壁部１２からは、図１により明らかなごとく、長さ方向に所定の間隔を おいて複数の嵌合爪１２ａが水平に突出しており、また同上壁部１２の下面には 、隣会う前記嵌合爪１２ａの中間から先端部がそれぞれ水平に突出した押当て回 動リブ１２ｂが形成されている。そして、前記嵌合爪１２ａは平板状に構成され 、その略中央に上部クラスタ１６の後述する係合突片２０ｂと係止する係合孔１ ２ｃが形成されており、また前記押当て回動リブ１２ｂの下面は図２及び図３（ ａ）に示すごとく円弧状に形成されている。As is apparent from FIG. 1, a plurality of fitting claws 12 a horizontally project from the upper wall portion 12 at predetermined intervals in the lengthwise direction, and the lower surface of the upper wall portion 12 has a lower surface. A pressing rotary rib 12b is formed such that the tip ends thereof horizontally project from the middle of the fitting claws 12a that are adjacent to each other. The fitting claw 12a is formed in a flat plate shape, and an engaging hole 12c for engaging with an engaging projection piece 20b of the upper cluster 16 which will be described later is formed substantially in the center of the engaging claw 12a. The lower surface of the rib 12b is formed in an arc shape as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 (a).
【００２０】 一方の上部クラスタ１６は、図１に示すごとく上側の円弧枠部１７と下側の水 平枠部１８とが連結された枠体からなり、この上部クラスタ１６には図示せぬ温 度表示盤や各種の計器類が嵌め込まれる。そして、該上部クラスタ１６の前記水 平枠部１８には、その前端縁の後方（図２の左方）の下面途中に、垂直部１９ａ と水平部１９ｂとからなり、断面がＬ字状のガイドブラケット１９が垂設されて いる。As shown in FIG. 1, one upper cluster 16 is composed of a frame body in which an upper arc frame portion 17 and a lower horizontal frame portion 18 are connected to each other. A degree display panel and various instruments are fitted.

【００２３】 以上のように構成された本考案のクラスタ結合構造を利用して、上下クラスタ １６，１１を組付けるときは、まず図１に矢印で示すごとく下部クラスタ１１の 上壁部１２を上部クラスタ１６の水平枠部１８とガイドブラケット１９の水平部 １９ｂとの間に挿入しながら、各嵌合爪１２ａを相対するそれぞれの嵌合孔２０ に押し込む。このとき、各嵌合爪１２ａは図３（ａ）に仮想線で示すごとく、上 壁部１２の下面に形成された押当て回動リブ１２ｂの円弧状下面がガイドブラケ ット１９の水平部１９ｂの上面に当接した状態で押し込まれ、図２及び図３（ａ ）に示す（ｉ）の位置となる。When assembling the upper and lower clusters 16 and 11 using the cluster coupling structure of the present invention configured as described above, first, the upper wall portion 12 of the lower cluster 11 is set to the upper portion as shown by the arrow in FIG. While being inserted between the horizontal frame portion 18 of the cluster 16 and the horizontal portion 19b of the guide bracket 19, the fitting claws 12a are pushed into the corresponding fitting holes 20. At this time, as shown in phantom lines in FIG. 3A, each fitting claw 12a has a circular arc-shaped lower surface of the pressing rotation rib 12b formed on the lower surface of the upper wall portion 12 and a horizontal portion 19b of the guide bracket 19. Is pushed in a state of being in contact with the upper surface of the sheet, and comes to the position (i) shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 (a).
【００２４】 この状態で、下部クラスタ１１を図２の時計方向に回動させると、下部クラス タ１１は押当て回動リブ１２ｂの円弧状下面を支点として弾性的に回動し、且つ 嵌合爪１２ａの先端を上方に回動させて、嵌合爪１２ａの係合孔１２ｃに係合突 片２１が係合すると同時に、上壁部１２の上面を上部クラスタ１６の水平枠部１ ８の先端下面に弾性的に押し付け、図２及び図３（ｂ）に実線で示す（ii）の位 置となる。次いで、下部クラスタ１１のネジ固定部１３を、例えばインストルメ ントパネル２２の取付部に取付ネジ７で固定して、下部クラスタ１１の取り付け が完了する。In this state, when the lower cluster 11 is rotated clockwise in FIG. 2, the lower cluster 11 elastically rotates about the arc-shaped lower surface of the pressing rotation rib 12b as a fulcrum and is fitted. By rotating the tip of the claw 12a upward, the engaging projection 21 is engaged with the engaging hole 12c of the fitting claw 12a, and at the same time, the upper surface of the upper wall 12 is fixed to the horizontal frame 18 of the upper cluster 16. It is elastically pressed against the lower surface of the tip to become the position (ii) shown by the solid line in FIGS. 2 and 3 (b).

The upper wall portion 12 of the lower cluster 11 can be smoothly assembled, and the horizontal wall portion 18 of the upper cluster 16 can be extended in the length direction by a plurality of pressing rotation ribs 12b arranged in the length direction. Since it is evenly pressed against the tip edge of the, the surface does not have a wavy shape and has a very good appearance.
【００２６】 また、上述のごとく組付けられた下部クラスタ１１を上部クラスタ１６から取 り外すときは、まず取付ネジ７を外し、その後に下部クラスタ１１を図２の反時 計方向に回動させる。このとき、下部クラスタ１１は弾性変形が原形に復帰する ため、下部クラスタ１１の反時計方向への回動は極めて容易になされる。次いで 、下部クラスタ１１を押当て回動リブ１２ｂの円弧上下面を支点として更に軽く 反時計方向に回動させると、係合突片２１が係合孔１２ｃから容易に外れ、この 状態で下部クラスタ１１を上部クラスタ１６から図２の仮想線位置（iii)まで引 抜けば、取外しが終わる。When removing the lower cluster 11 assembled as described above from the upper cluster 16, first, the mounting screw 7 is removed, and then the lower cluster 11 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. . At this time, the elastic deformation of the lower cluster 11 returns to its original shape, so that the lower cluster 11 can be rotated very easily in the counterclockwise direction. Next, when the lower cluster 11 is further lightly rotated counterclockwise around the upper and lower arcs of the pressing rotation rib 12b as a fulcrum, the engaging projection 21 is easily disengaged from the engaging hole 12c. Removal is completed by pulling out 11 from the upper cluster 16 to the imaginary line position (iii) in FIG.
