  • Mounting part structure of external detection sensor for vehicle
    Patent number: 11738697
    Abstract: A mounting part structure of an external detection sensor for a vehicle includes a sensor cover. A front portion of the sensor cover is locked to the sensor bracket via a front locking part that restricts displacement in a vertical direction of the vehicle when displacement of the sensor cover in forward and rearward directions of the vehicle and a vehicle width direction and rotation thereof around an axis following the vehicle width direction are allowed. A rear portion of the sensor cover is locked to the console bracket via a rear locking part that restricts displacement of the sensor cover in the vertical direction of the vehicle and the forward and rearward directions of the vehicle when displacement of the sensor cover in the vehicle width direction is allowed. The rear portion of the sensor cover is biased in the vehicle width direction by a rear spring part.
