Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle headlamp mounting structure which facilitates headlamp mounting work during vehicle assembly.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A front lamp for illuminating a road and a corner lamp for illuminating a direction of a vehicle are provided at a front portion of a vehicle. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, there is a vehicle 1 in which a head lamp 2 and a corner lamp 3 are continuously provided at a front corner. In the assembling process of the automobile 1, the heavy headlamp 2 is assembled separately from the corner lamp 3, or the headlamp 2 is temporarily temporarily fixed using a tool and then tightened and fixed. afterwards,
The temporarily fixed tool is removed.

When a tool for temporary fixing is not used, for example, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, a stud bolt 4 is provided at the rear portion of the headlamp 2 and is inserted into a mounting hole 6 formed in the panel 5 to insert the backside. In the case of tightening with the nut 7, the headlamp 2 is locked by inserting the stud bolt 4 into the mounting hole 6. As shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, a bracket 10 having an insertion hole 8 and a boss 9 is attached to the side surface of the headlamp 2, a stud pin 11 is provided on the opposite side surface, and a boss hole is provided on one side of the panel 5. There is one in which 12 and a mounting hole 13 are provided, and a fastener 15 is mounted in the hole 14 on the other side of the panel 5. When the headlamp 2 is to be mounted and fixed, it can be temporarily fixed with the boss 9 and the stud pin 11. A structure in which the headlamp is supported by stud pins is also disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-59545.

As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, there is a bracket 17 fixed to the fender 16 having a hole 18 and a fastener 19 attached to the lower panel 5 where the headlamp 2 is located. A stud bolt 4 is attached to the head lamp 2 on the side closer to the bracket 17, and the head lamp 2
A cylindrical guide bar 20 is provided at the lower end of the. It is easy to temporarily fix the headlamp 2 because the weight of the headlamp 2 is supported by the guide rod 20.

[0005]

However, in the headlamp 2 shown in FIG. 10, since the stud bolt 4 is simply inserted into the mounting hole 6, the stud bolt 4 is displaced due to the weight of the headlamp 2 due to the loosening of the mounting hole 6. Headlamp 2
Since it tilts, it is necessary to pay attention to the position when tightening or fix it with a tool. In the headlamp 2 shown in FIG. 12, loosening occurs due to the peripheral clearance between the boss 9 and the boss hole 12, and perfect positioning cannot be performed. Further, the stud bolt 4, the stud pin 11, and the resin nut 7 used cause a cost increase.

Further, in the headlamp 2 shown in FIG. 15, temporary fixing is easy, but the headlamp 2 cannot be positioned unless the headlamp 2 is pressed against the bracket 17, and an uncertain portion for left-right positioning remains. Furthermore, this structure requires a separate bracket 17, which increases the cost.

According to the present invention, at the time of assembling the parts of the vehicle, the temporary fixing and the positioning can be accurately performed without using a separate tool.
An object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive headlamp mounting structure for a vehicle.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a front panel of a vehicle with a substantially horizontal protruding panel and a downwardly extending substantially vertical extending panel. A mounting hole is provided in the protruding panel and the extending panel, and a hook hole is provided in the protruding panel,
On the upper part of the headlamp attached at this location, a bracket portion for screwing that can contact the protruding panel is formed, and an inverted L-shaped protruding portion toward the protruding panel side is formed, and the lower surface of the protruding portion is formed. And a hook that is inserted downwardly from the flat surface into the hook hole,
It is characterized in that a bracket portion for screwing is formed on the lower portion of the headlamp so as to come into contact with the extension panel.

[0009]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the lower surface of the protruding portion of the headlamp is brought into contact with the protruding panel of the panel, and the hook is inserted into the hole for hook, so that the front-rear direction and the left-right direction are changed. It is fixed immovably in the direction. Also,
Although the headlamp is rotatable around the hook as a fulcrum, the lower bracket portion is pressed against the extending panel by its own weight and is stationary, so that the position is determined together with the temporary fixing. In this state, the headlamp can be fixed at an appropriate position on the panel by tightening the screw.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a headlamp 2 and its mounting portion according to the present invention. A substantially horizontal protruding panel 21 is formed on the upper side of the front panel 5 of the vehicle body and protrudes forward. The panel 5 extending downward from the base of the protruding panel 21 is bent forward at the lower position and is substantially perpendicular to the front end thereof. Extension panel 22
Is formed. In addition, a hole 23 for wiring is formed in the panel 5, and a mounting hole 24 is formed in the protruding panel 21 and the extending panel 22. The protruding panel 21 is for a rectangular hook whose lateral length is restricted. Hole 25 is opened.

The headlamp 2 has a lamp chamber 26 formed by a housing, and a lens 27 is attached to the front surface of the headlamp 2 (see FIGS. 2 and 4). Inverted L-shaped bracket part 28
Is formed and a hole 29 for mounting is formed. Similarly,
On the lower part of the headlamp 2, a hanging bracket portion 30 is provided, and a mounting hole 29 is opened.

An inverted L-shaped protruding portion 31 is formed at the center of the upper portion of the headlamp 2 toward the protruding panel side.
A frame 32 is formed by denting the center of the curved portion inward. Frame 32
A hole 33 is opened on the panel side of the
There is a hook 34 extending downward from 31 and the hook 34
Is adapted to engage a member located on the side of the hole 33. Further, the lower surfaces of the holes 33 and the peripheral edges of the hooks 34 are flat.

When the headlamp 2 is attached to the panel 5, the brackets 28 and 30 of the headlamp 2 are applied to the protruding panel 21 and the extending panel 22 of the panel 5, and the protruding portion 31 is obtained by pushing the brackets 28 and 30 downward a little. The hook 34 has a hole for hook 25
To engage the protruding panel 21 (see FIGS. 3, 5 and 6). Further, in this state, the headlamp 2 presses the lower bracket portion 30 against the extension panel 22 by its own weight. Furthermore, the width of the hook 34 fits into the hook hole 25,
Since the hook 34 holds a part of the protruding panel 21, the headlamp 2 is fixed immovably in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction. Further, since the headlamp 2 is rotated toward the extension panel 22 with the hook 34 as a fulcrum, and the extension panel 22 is pressed against the extension panel 22 by its own weight to be stationary, the position is determined together with the temporary fixing. In this state, the headlamp 2 can be fixed at an appropriate position on the panel 5 by screwing (see FIG. 7). The headlamp 2 can be temporarily fixed in the vertical direction by gripping the protruding panel 21 in the thickness direction with the hook 34.

Further, immobilization in the left-right direction is temporarily restrained by fitting the width of the hook hole 25 and the width of the hook 34, and as shown in FIG. The width can be widened to allow more mounting space.

[0015]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the hook provided on the upper portion of the headlamp is engaged with the protruding panel of the panel, so that the lower portion of the headlamp is extended to the extended panel by its own weight. Press and stand still. And since the hook is immovable in the left and right direction, the position is decided together with temporary fixing,
The headlamp can be easily fixed at the proper position on the panel. Therefore, a temporary fixing tool is not required, the workability is improved, the number of steps and the working time can be shortened, and the cost can be reduced because no separate parts such as stud bolts are used.
