A vehicle and a camera bracket include a lens hood which surrounds a detection space of an external environment detection camera, the lens hood includes a bottom surface forming part which forms a flat-shaped surface (a bottom surface) facing the detection space, the bottom surface extends to spread radially in the detection direction from the lens side and includes a reflected wave reducing structure on this bottom surface, and the bottom surface forming part includes a partition part that partitions the reflected wave reducing structure into a plurality of regions.

Transport equipment and sensor bracket

A sensor hood () includes a bottom surface-forming section () that forms a flat bottom surface () facing a detection space (K). When seen from a height direction (Z) perpendicular to a surface width direction (X) and a surface forward/rearward direction (Y) of the bottom surface (), a split section (P) between a fixed body () and a split body () divides the bottom surface () into a first range (H) including an optical axis (CL) in the surface width direction (X) and a second range (H) that avoids the optical axis (CL). The first range (H) is disposed at the same height as the second range (H) in the height direction (Z) and disposed closer to the optical axis (CL) than the second range (H).

Sensor bracket

A vehicle and a camera bracket include a lens hood which surrounds a detection space of an external environment detection camera, in which the lens hood includes a reflected wave reducing structure on at least a portion of a surface facing the detection space, and a bottom surface forming part which forms a surface (bottom surface) having the reflected wave reducing structure on the lens hood includes a fixed body having a portion (a fixed-side structure portion) of the reflected wave reducing structure and fixed to a vehicle main body, and a segment body having the other portion (a segment-side structure portion) of the reflected wave reducing structure and configured to be separable from the fixed body.

Provided is an onboard electronic device mounting structure that prevents rattling of the electronic device, and does not unduly limit the mounting space for other components. The mounting structure () secures a camera () to a window (W) of a vehicle via a mounting device (). An engagement portion () provided in a front end side of the camera abuts against a base () of the mounting device, and a biased portion including a columnar member provided on a lateral side of the camera is supported by the base. A biasing member () of the base biases the biased portion against a supporting portion () of the base. The supporting portion is provided with two supporting surfaces (and) which support the biased portion with two reaction forces each at an angle to the direction of the biasing force of the biasing member.

Onboard electronic device mounting structure

A sensor bracket includes a plate-shaped bracket, a front surface of which is attached to an inner surface of a windshield of a vehicle, the plate-shape bracket having a camera that detects a state around a vehicle mounted on a back surface, reference surfaces provided on a back surface of the plate-shaped bracket, the reference surfaces being parallel to each other.

A sensor bracket includes a bracket on which a camera detecting a state around the vehicle is mounted, a planar portion that holds the camera to the bracket by engaging with an engagement protrusion of the camera, a flat spring that biases the camera in a direction that maintains an engaged state of the camera by abutting against the camera when the camera is mounted on the bracket, a projecting structure of the bracket that restricts a defamation range of the flat spring displaced in an engagement direction of the engagement protrusion within an elastic deformation range when the engagement protrusion is engaged with the planar portion while the camera is abutted against the flat spring.

A sensor bracket includes a bracket on which a camera that detects a state around a vehicle is mounted, a flat spring that abuts against the camera and biasing in a direction that maintains a mounted state of the camera when the camera is mounted on the bracket, and a recess that receives a portion of a tool and restricts a displacement range of the tool when the flat spring is pressed by the tool and is mounted on a projection for the spring of the bracket.

A sensor bracket includes a bracket on which a camera that detects a state around a vehicle is mounted, and a planar portion of the bracket that holds the camera to the bracket by engaging with an engagement protrusion of the camera. The camera is detached by being slid against the bracket. The bracket is provided with a vertical rib that prevents the camera front proceeding in a sliding direction by having a portion of the camera abut thereagainst in the course of the camera moving from a mounted state to a separated state.

A sensor bracket includes a bracket on which a camera (a sensor) that detects a state around a vehicle is mounted, a flat spring that abuts against the camera in a direction that maintains a mounted state of the camera when the camera is mounted on the bracket, and a stopper restricting, in between a space where a tool is positioned and an inner surface of a piece of glass, a displacement range of the tool from the space to the inner surface of the piece of glass when the flat spring is dismounted from a projection for the spring of the bracket with the tool.
