Fastening structure of onboard apparatus
View Patent ↗A fastening structure of an onboard apparatus to be fastened to a vehicle body includes a support member that is fastened to the vehicle body to support the onboard apparatus and has a protruding section protruding rearward beyond a rear face of the onboard apparatus, and a bracket having a front fastening section to be fastened to a lower face of a rear section of the onboard apparatus, a rear fastening section to be fastened to the protruding section of the support member, and a fragile section provided between the front fastening section and the rear fastening section. By an external force from a front side of the onboard apparatus, the fragile section is deformed and the rear section of the onboard apparatus is moved upward using the rear fastening section as a fulcrum.
1. A fastening structure of an onboard apparatus to be fastened to a vehicle body comprising:
a support member that is configured to be fastened to the vehicle body to support the onboard apparatus and has a protruding section protruding rearward beyond a rear face of the onboard apparatus when the onboard apparatus is fastened to the vehicle body; and
a bracket having:
a front fastening section to be fastened to a lower face of a rear section of the onboard apparatus;
a rear fastening section to be fastened to the protruding section of the support member; and
a fragile section provided between the front fastening section and the rear fastening section,
wherein by an external force from a front side of the onboard apparatus, the fragile section is deformed and the rear section of the onboard apparatus is moved upward using the rear fastening section as a fulcrum.
2. The fastening structure of the onboard apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the bracket has a bottom face section extending in a front-rear direction and two side face sections standing upward from both edge sections of the bottom face section extending in the front-rear direction,
the fragile section includes side face beads provided on each of the two side face sections, extending in a standing direction of the side face sections and formed into a convex shape protruding inward or outward, and
the side face beads extend up to upper edges of the side face sections.
3. The fastening structure of the onboard apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the side face beads are provided on each of the two side face sections side by side in the front-rear direction.
4. The fastening structure of the onboard apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the fragile section includes a bottom face bead provided on the bottom face section, extending in a direction orthogonal to an extension direction of the bottom face section and formed into a convex shape protruding inward.
5. The fastening structure of the onboard apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the side face beads are provided on each of the two side face sections so that two side face beads are provided side by side in the front-rear direction, and
the bottom face bead is one bottom face bead positioned between the two side face beads provided side by side.
6. The fastening structure of the onboard apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the closer to the front side a position gets, the smaller the length of each of the two side face sections of the bracket in an up-down direction becomes.
7. The fastening structure of the onboard apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the closer to the front side a position gets, the larger a length of the bottom face section in a vehicle width direction.
8. The fastening structure of the onboard apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein a front edge section of the bottom face section is formed into a curved shape.
9. The fastening structure of the onboard apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the fragile section further includes a hole section provided on the bottom face section at a position to which the side face beads corresponds in the front-rear direction.
