Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a headlamp bracket mounting structure. Specifically, regarding the structure for attaching and fixing the bracket for attaching the headlamp to the vehicle body to the lamp body, it is possible to increase the strength of the bracket, ensure its positioning and installation condition, and further improve the stability of the lamp. The object of the present invention is to provide a new headlamp bracket mounting structure that can eliminate protrusions into the body.

In conventional headlamps, the portion to which the bracket is attached is flat, as shown in FIG. That is, the rear surface b of the lamp body a is flat, and one mounting piece d of the bracket c is fixed thereto. Then, the other mounting piece e of the bracket c
is also fixed to a flat mounting surface f of the vehicle body. Since one mounting piece d of the bracket c is attached to the lamp body a by a screw g, a part into which the screw g is screwed is required in the lamp body a, which inevitably protrudes into the inside of the lamp body a. This results in a protrusion h. When the protrusion h protruding inward of the lamp body a is formed in this way,
In the case of a headlamp in which the reflector is tilted within the lamp body a, the movable range of the reflector is limited by the protrusion h, which is not preferable.
Furthermore, in order to increase the strength of the bracket, the edge is usually bent at right angles to form a reinforcing edge.
If the attachment part is flat on the side of There are drawbacks to this.

The bracket mounting structure of the headlamp of this invention is as follows:
This was done in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks seen in conventional examples.The front side of the lamp body is covered with a lens, has a reflective mirror inside, and is fixed to the vehicle body with a bracket. The bracket has a side shape and both ends are bent in opposite directions to form two mounting pieces.The bracket is bent in the same direction over its entire length and a part touches the side of the mounting seat of the lamp body. A plurality of reinforcing pieces are formed as abutting walls, and the bracket is fixed to the lamp body with the abutting walls abutting the side surface of the mounting seat of the lamp body. .

The details of the bracket mounting structure of the headlamp of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the illustrated embodiments.

2 to 4 show a first embodiment of the headlamp bracket mounting structure of the present invention.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a lamp body made of synthetic resin, the front opening of which is covered with a lens 2. Light body 1
A reflecting mirror 3 is arranged in a space defined by the lens 2 and the reflecting mirror 3, and the reflecting mirror 3 is supported so as to be tiltable with respect to the lamp body 1 by a support mechanism which will be described later. The lamp body 1 is fixed to a vehicle body 5 by brackets 4, 4. The bracket 4 is made of a metal plate, and has two mounting pieces 6 and 7 formed by bending both ends in opposite directions, and further has both edges bent in the same direction over the entire length. Reinforced edges 8, 8
is formed. Square mounting seats 9 are formed in a protruding manner at the bracket mounting portion on the rear surface of the lamp body 1, and a screw hole 10 that opens rearward is formed in the mounting seats 9. One of the mounting pieces 6 of the bracket 4 clamps the side surfaces 11, 11 (one side is not shown) of the mounting seat 9 at the inner surfaces (abutting walls) of the reinforcing edges 8, 8 of that part. In this way,
It is seated on the mounting seat 9 and is attached to the mounting seat 9 by threading the screw 12 into the threaded hole 10 of the mounting seat 9 through the insertion hole 13 formed in the mounting piece 6 . The other mounting piece 7 is also formed with an insertion hole 14, and this other mounting piece 7 is fixed to the car body 5 by inserting a screw 15 therethrough and fastening it to the car body 5 with a nut 16. . In this way, the lamp body 1 is attached to the vehicle body 5 via the brackets 4, 4.

Incidentally, the reflecting mirror 3 is supported by the lamp body 1 at a point A when viewed from the front view (FIG. 2) by a rotation fulcrum mechanism, and by an aiming mechanism at points B and C.

The rotation support mechanism 17 includes a spherical projection 18 projecting from the lamp body 1 and a spherical recess 19 formed in the reflecting mirror 3. Reference numeral 20 is a rod having a spherical protrusion 18 at one end and a threaded groove 21 at the other end, and the threaded groove 21 is screwed into a boss portion 22 formed on the lamp body 1, thereby allowing the rod 20 to function as a lamp. Fixed to body 1. 23 is a block made of synthetic resin and has a spherical recess 19 opening at the rear, and this block 23 is fixed to a bracket 24 fixed to the rear surface of the opening edge of the reflecting mirror 3.
Furthermore, the spherical protrusion 18 of the rod 20 is fitted into the spherical recess 19 of this block 23, and a ball joint-shaped rotation fulcrum mechanism 17 is constructed here.

The aiming mechanism 25 includes an adjusting screw 26 rotatably supported by the lamp body 1 and a nut 27 supported by the reflecting mirror 3. The nut 27 is supported by a bracket 28 fixed to the rear surface of the opening edge of the reflecting mirror 3.
The tip of the adjusting screw 26 is screwed into the opening. Reference numeral 29 designates an adjusting screw support portion formed at a location corresponding to the mounting position of the nut 27 on the lamp body 1, and is formed as a bottomed cylindrical body projecting rearward. A boss portion 30 is integrally formed from the center of the bottom portion of the screw support portion 29 toward the front.
0 is formed with an insertion hole 31 that passes through it back and forth. A flange 32 is formed in the middle part of the adjusting screw 26, and the adjusting screw 26 is inserted through the flange 32 formed in the supporting part 29 until the flange 32 comes into contact with the rear surface of the supporting part 29 of the lamp body 1. It is inserted into the hole 31 from the rear, and its tip is screwed into the nut 27. A compression coil spring 33 is inserted between the rear surface of the nut 27 and the screw support portion 29 in a state where it is fitted onto the adjusting screw 26 .

Therefore, in the headlamp bracket mounting structure described above, the protruding mounting seat 9 is formed on the lamp body 1, and the bracket 4 is mounted thereon, so that the reinforcing edges 8, 8 are bent in the same direction. Therefore, a portion like the portion k in the conventional example shown in FIG. 1 does not occur, and the bracket can be made strong.
Also, when attaching the bracket 4 to the lamp body 1 with the screws 12, screws 1 are inserted inside the lamp body 1.
There is no need to provide a screw-in allowance (2), and there is a protrusion inside the lamp body 1 that obstructs the tilting operation of the reflector 3 (such as h in the conventional example in Fig. 1).
can be eliminated. Furthermore, since the inner surfaces of the reinforcing edges 8, 8 abut against the side surfaces 11, 11 of the mounting seat 9,
Positioning during installation is easy, and even after installation, the bracket 4 is prevented from wobbling, and the installation state is stabilized.

5 and 6 respectively show modified examples of the bracket mounting structure of the headlamp of the present invention.

FIG. 5 shows an example in which two mounting seats 9a and 9'a are used to mount one bracket 4a.
In this case, it is sufficient that the screw hole 10a into which the screw is screwed is formed only in one mounting seat 9a. The reinforcing edges 8a, 8a each have two mounting seats 9.
a, 9'a are brought into contact with the outer side surfaces 11a (not visible in the drawing), 11'a.

In the case shown in FIG. 6, the recesses 34d and 34'd formed in the bracket 4d are rectangular, but this is because the recesses 34d and 34'd are made to also serve as reinforcing means, so that the recesses 34d and 34'd are formed over the entire length of the bracket 4d. It is formed as follows. By doing so, there is no need to provide reinforcing means in addition to the recess.

In addition, in FIG. 6, each recess 34d, 34'
The inner surface of d serves as a contact surface that comes into contact with the side surfaces of the mounting seats 9d and 9'd.
