Abstract

The vehicle mounting structure comprises an electronic device, a first bracket, a drive train and a first vibration isolating bush. The electronic device is fixed on the drive train via the first bracket, and the electronic device and the drive train define a gap therebetween. The first vibration isolating bush is provided between the first bracket and the electronic device.

Claims (22)

1. A vehicle mounting structure for an electronic device, comprising:

a first bracket;

a drive train on which the electronic device is to be fixed via the first bracket, in such a manner that a gap is defined between the drive train and the electronic device;

a first vibration isolating bush configured to be provided between the first bracket and the electronic device;

a first bolt configured to fasten the first bracket and the electronic device via the first vibration isolating bush, wherein

the first vibration isolating bush includes:

a first inner bush equipped with a first flange and a first tube portion that has a tubular shape;

a first outer bush equipped with a second flange and a second tube portion that has a tubular shape, the first tube portion being provided inside the second tube portion, and the first flange and the second flange overlapping with each other; and

a first elastic member provided between the first inner bush and the first outer bush,

the first bracket is configured to be connected to a front face of the electronic device that is oriented frontward with respect to the vehicle,

the first vibration isolating bush is attached such that the second flange abuts on a face of the first bracket that is oriented frontward with respect to the vehicle, and that the second tube portion penetrates the first bracket,

the first bolt penetrates the first tube portion, with a longitudinal direction of the first bolt oriented substantially perpendicularly to the front face of the electronic device, a tip of the first bolt being configured to be screwed to the electronic device, and a head of the first bolt abutting on a face of the first flange of the first vibration isolating bush that is oriented frontward with respect to the vehicle, and

the first flange abut on the front face of the first bracket.

2. The vehicle mounting structure according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second bracket configured to be connected to a rear face of the electronic device that is oriented rearward with respect to the vehicle;

a second vibration isolating bush that includes:

a second inner bush equipped with a third flange and a third tube portion that has a tubular shape;

a second outer bush equipped with a fourth flange and a fourth tube portion that has a tubular shape, the third tube portion being provided inside the fourth tube portion, and the third flange and the fourth flange overlapping with each other; and

a second elastic member provided between the second inner bush and the second outer bush; and

a second bolt configured to fasten the second bracket and the electronic device via the second vibration isolating bush, wherein

the second vibration isolating bush is attached such that the fourth flange abuts on a face of the second bracket that is oriented rearward with respect to the vehicle, and that the fourth tube portion penetrates the second bracket, and

the second bolt penetrates the third tube portion, with a longitudinal direction of the second bolt oriented substantially perpendicularly to the rear face of the electronic device, a tip of the second bolt being configured to be screwed to the electronic device, and a head of the second bolt abutting on a face of the third flange that is oriented rearward with respect to the vehicle.
