Abstract

An attachment structure for an electronic component accommodation box including a vibration proof structure includes a damping structure between a vehicle body side attachment member and a casing in which at least one electronic component is mounted. The damping structure includes first sliding portions, second sliding portions, and damping members interposed between the first sliding portions and the second sliding portions. The damping members generate sliding resistance between each of the first sliding portions and each of the second sliding portions when the casing moves relative to the vehicle body side attachment member.

Claims

1. An attachment structure for an electronic component accommodation box comprising:

a casing of an electronic component accommodation box in which at least one electronic component is mounted;

a vehicle body side attachment member on which the casing is provided;

a vibration proof structure provided between the casing and the vehicle body side attachment member; and

a damping structure provided between the casing and the vehicle body side attachment member and different from the vibration proof structure, wherein

the vibration proof structure includes an elastic vibration proof member,

the vibration proof member is attached to the casing and supports a load of the casing with respect to the vehicle body side attachment member,

the damping structure includes a first sliding portion, a second sliding portion, and a damping member interposed between the first sliding portion and the second sliding portion, and

the damping member generates sliding resistance between the first sliding portion and the second sliding portion when the casing moves relative to the vehicle body side attachment member.

2. The attachment structure for an electronic component accommodation box according to claim 1, wherein

the first sliding portion is a sliding hole,

the second sliding portion is a sliding pin,

the damping member is attached along an inner peripheral surface of the sliding hole,

the sliding pin is inserted into the sliding hole provided with the damping member, and

an outer peripheral surface of the sliding pin comes in contact with the damping member to generate sliding resistance during the relative movement.

3. The attachment structure for an electronic component accommodation box according to claim 1, wherein

the vibration proof member is a rubber mount, and

the damping member is an elastic rubber damper.

4. The attachment structure for an electronic component accommodation box according to claim 2, wherein

the damping member is an elastic rubber damper.
