Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-4422 JP 2005-351469 A JP 2006-347138 A

  In each of the above-described conventional examples, since a special mechanism is provided in the suction cup itself, even if only the special mechanism portion is worn and deteriorated, the suction cup itself and the support mechanism itself of the electronic device having the suction cup have to be replaced. . Especially in the case of in-vehicle electrical equipment, the environment in which it is installed is in a special environment such as a high temperature. Therefore, normal materials deteriorate quickly, and the frequency of replacement described above increases, which takes time and effort for the user. Will end up. Moreover, when using the above-mentioned gel in such a high temperature environment, only a specific material can be used, but there is a problem peculiar to the specific material, and the use may not be easy.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a suction assisting device that can be easily replaced even when deterioration occurs, and that can be used easily and reliably even in a special environment such as at high temperatures, and the like. An electronic device support provided and an in-vehicle electronic device are to be realized.

  The present invention relates to a suction assisting tool that assists in sucking a suction cup against an uneven installation surface. This adsorption aid includes a gel layer that is in contact with the installation surface and has a predetermined thickness and a predetermined hardness, and a reinforcing layer that is installed on a surface facing the installation surface of the gel layer.

  In this configuration, the gel layer is adsorbed even on an uneven surface, and the gel layer is reinforced in strength by the reinforcing layer. And a suction cup adsorb | sucks through this reinforcement layer. That is, adsorption is performed by the layer structure of the installation surface, the gel layer, the reinforcing layer, and the suction cup.

  In addition, the reinforcing layer of the auxiliary assisting tool of the present invention is formed with a predetermined width along the outer periphery of the gel layer.

  In this configuration, since the reinforcing layer is only the outer periphery of the gel layer, the gel layer and the suction cup are directly adsorbed at the center of the gel layer. Therefore, even if the reinforcing layer has a possibility of skidding, the adsorption is surely performed.

  In addition, the reinforcing layer of the adsorption assisting tool of the present invention is formed on the entire surface of the gel layer facing each other.

  In this configuration, since the reinforcing layer and the gel layer are formed with the same area, it is easy to form the auxiliary assisting tool.

  In addition, the surface on the gel layer side of the reinforcing layer of the auxiliary assisting tool of the present invention has an uneven shape.

  In this configuration, the gel is embedded in the irregularities on the surface of the reinforcing layer on the gel layer side so that the reinforcing layer and the gel layer are in close contact with each other, so that the bonding force between the reinforcing layer and the gel layer is increased.

  Further, the gel layer of the adsorbing aid of the present invention is made of silicon resin.

  In this configuration, silicon resin is used as the material of the gel layer, so that the gel layer does not melt even at high temperatures such as when mounted on a vehicle. As a result, it can be used easily even at high temperatures such as in-vehicle.

  Moreover, the gel layer of the auxiliary tool for adsorption according to the present invention is made of a thermosetting resin.

  In this configuration, since it is a thermosetting resin, there is no melting at a high temperature. As a result, it can be used easily even at high temperatures such as in-vehicle.

  Moreover, the electronic device support of this invention is equipped with the above-mentioned adsorption | suction auxiliary jig, and the supporting member which equips one end and supports an electronic device at the other end.

  With this configuration, by providing the above-described suction assisting tool, an electronic device support tool that is easy to install and replace and has high reliability in the installed state is realized.

  Moreover, the vehicle-mounted electronic device of this invention is equipped with the above-mentioned electronic device support tool and the vehicle-mounted electronic device main body, and an installation surface exists in a vehicle.

  In this configuration, by providing the above-described suction assisting tool, an in-vehicle electronic device support tool that can be easily installed and replaced and has high reliability in the installed state is realized.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to realize a suction auxiliary tool, an electronic device support tool, and an in-vehicle electronic device that are easy to install and replace and have high structural and durable reliability in the installed state.

  The suction auxiliary tool, electronic device support tool, and in-vehicle electronic device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a usage state of the in-vehicle electronic device 100 of the present embodiment.

  The in-vehicle electronic device 100 includes a flat panel display device 3 corresponding to the in-vehicle electronic device main body, a support tool 2 that supports the flat panel display device 3, and a suction assisting tool 1. The support tool 2 and the suction assisting tool 1 Thus, it is installed at the installation position, for example, the dashboard 200 of the car.

  The support 2 has a structure in which a suction cup 21 is installed at one end and the other end is connected to the back surface of the flat panel display device 3 with respect to the main body 20 of the shaft-like body. The suction cup 21 has a substantially circular shape when viewed from the suction surface side.

2A shows an external perspective view of the suction assisting tool 1, FIG. 2B shows a plan view, and FIG. 2C shows a side view.
As shown in FIGS. 2 (A) and 2 (B), the suction assisting tool 1 has a disk shape having a predetermined thickness and having a circular shape in plan view. As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2C, the suction assisting tool 1 has a structure composed of two layers of different materials in the thickness direction when viewed from the side. One of these two layers is a gel layer 11 made of silicon, and the other is a reinforcing layer 12. The gel layer 11 and the reinforcing layer 12 are integrally formed by a known method.

  The gel layer 11 has a thickness of 2 mm or less, approximately 1 mm to 2 mm, and a hardness of approximately 100 with a penetration of 50 or more. Since the gel layer 11 is made of silicon, the heat resistant temperature is increased, and the gel layer 11 can be kept fixed without being melted even at a high temperature such as in-vehicle. At this time, by using a thermosetting resin, there is no possibility of further melting, and reliable fixing can be realized.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the difference in the fixing strength to the installation surface according to the thickness of the gel layer 11 and the penetration. This experiment was obtained with a circular silicon gel having a diameter of 65 mm, and was performed with four types of gels with two combinations of thicknesses of 1 mm and 2 mm and penetrations of 55 and 100. It has been broken. In FIG. 3, sample 1 is 1 mm thick and has a penetration of 55, sample 2 is 2 mm thick and has a penetration of 55, sample 3 is 1 mm thick and has a penetration of 100, and sample 4 Indicates a gel having a thickness of 2 mm and a penetration of 100.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the thickness is the same, the higher the penetration, that is, the softer, the higher the fixing strength. When the penetration is the same, the lower the thickness, the higher the fixing strength. As can be seen from this experiment, if the gel has a thickness of about 1 mm and a penetration of 100, it can be seen that a practically strong fixing strength can be obtained. Thus, high fixation strength can be acquired by making the gel layer 11 into a specific thinness and making it a predetermined level of softness.

  The reinforcing layer 12 is formed of a material having heat resistance, flexibility, and high frictional force such as rubber, film, and plastic sheet. And such a gel layer 11 and the reinforcement layer 12 are joined. By adopting such a configuration, the problem of the silicon gel layer 11 that is easily broken is reinforced, and the reinforcing layer 12 provides a mechanically high strength, so that the auxiliary tool for adsorption 1 that is easy to handle is formed. be able to.

  When installing an in-vehicle electronic device using such an adsorption aid 1, the user first places the adsorption aid 1 on the installation surface 200 (such as a car dashboard) and the reinforcing layer 12 of the gel layer 11. Install in such a way that the opposing surfaces abut. Since the gel layer 11 has flexibility, even if the dashboard has irregularities or wrinkles, the gel layer 11 is buried and is in close contact with the dashboard, so that it adheres to the installation surface 200 with a strength of a predetermined value or more.

  Next, the suction panel 21 of the support tool 2 is adsorbed on the surface of the reinforcement layer 12 of the suction assisting tool 1 facing the gel layer 11 so that the flat panel display device 3 supported by the support tool 2 is in a desired direction. Install toward. By using such a structure, even if only the gel layer is deteriorated, it is not necessary to replace the entire support as in the case where the gel layer is directly provided on the suction cup, and easy replacement is possible.

  By adopting the above-described configuration, it is possible to realize an adsorption assisting tool, an electronic device support tool, and an in-vehicle electronic device that are easy to install and replace even at high temperatures such as in-vehicle and have high mechanical strength.

  In the above configuration, the example in which the reinforcing layer 12 is provided on the entire surface of one side of the gel layer 11 is shown, but a structure as shown in FIG. 4 may be used.

4A and 4B are views showing a suction assisting tool 1 ′ having another configuration of the present embodiment, in which FIG. 4A is an external perspective view, FIG. 4B is a plan view, and FIG. 4C is a side view. Indicates.
The suction assisting tool 1 ′ shown in FIG. 4 has a structure in which the reinforcing layer 13 is formed only with a predetermined width from the outer periphery to the inside of the gel layer 11, and the other configuration is the suction assisting tool 1 shown in FIG. Is the same.

  Thus, even if the reinforcing layer 13 is provided only on the outer periphery of the gel layer 11, it is possible to prevent the tearing that occurs from the outer periphery, so that the strength during installation handling can be substantially increased. Furthermore, since the suction cup 21 is adsorbed between the reinforcement layer 13 at the outer periphery and is adsorbed between the suction layer 21 and the gel layer 11 inside, even if the degree of adsorption of the reinforcement layer 13 with respect to the suction cup 21 is slightly weak, Since the adsorbing power is high, it can be adsorbed reliably.

  Moreover, although the case where the joint surface of the gel layer 11 and the reinforcement layers 12 and 13 was a plane was shown in the above-mentioned description, you may make it have an unevenness | corrugation as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 5 is a side view showing the configuration of the suction assisting tool 10 having a structure in which the joint surface between the gel layer 11 ′ and the reinforcing layer 12 ′ has irregularities.

  By adopting such a configuration, the bonding area between the gel layer 11 ′ and the reinforcing layer 12 ′ increases and the degree of adhesion is improved, so that an adsorption auxiliary tool with higher mechanical strength can be formed.

  Further, in the above description, the example in which the suction assisting tool 1 has a disc shape has been shown, but other shapes may be used as long as the thickness and hardness are those described above.

It is a perspective view which shows the use condition of the vehicle-mounted electronic device 100 of embodiment of this invention. It is a figure which shows the external appearance perspective view, top view, and side view of the auxiliary tool 1 for adsorption | suction. It is the figure which showed the difference of the adhesion strength to the installation surface according to the thickness and penetration of the gel layer. It is a figure which shows the auxiliary | assistant tool 1 'for adsorption | suction which consists of another structure of this embodiment. It is a side view which shows the structure of the auxiliary | assistant tool 10 for adsorption | suction which consists of a structure where the joint surface of gel layer 11 'and reinforcement layer 12' has an unevenness | corrugation.
