Abstract

There is provided an adjustment jig. A fixing unit has a plate shape and is detachably fixed to an attachment unit of a sensor provided on a vehicle side. An extension unit is provided to extend from the fixing unit. A suspension unit is suspended from the extension unit.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An adjustment jig comprising:
a fixing unit having a plate shape and configured to be detachably fixed to an attachment unit of a sensor provided on a vehicle side;
an extension unit provided to extend from the fixing unit; and
a suspension unit configured to be suspended from the extension unit.

2. The adjustment jig according to claim 1 , wherein
the suspension unit includes a linear member attached to the extension unit, and a weight attached to one end of the linear member, and
the extension unit includes a distance adjustment unit configured to hold the linear member to be capable of adjusting a distance from the extension unit to the weight.

3. The adjustment jig according to claim 2 , wherein
the extension unit includes a scale for measuring a distance of the weight from the extension unit in a vertical direction, and
the linear member is provided with a marker for reading the scale.

4. The adjustment jig according to claim 1 , wherein
the fixing unit includes an alignment portion capable of being aligned with the attachment unit.

5. The adjustment jig according to claim 1 , wherein
the suspension unit includes a linear member attached to the extension unit, and a weight attached to one end of the linear member,
the extension unit has a rod shape, and
the extension unit includes a guide portion configured to guide the linear member such that the linear member passes through a center of a tip end portion on an opposite side to a connection end portion connected with the fixing unit.

6. The adjustment jig according to claim 5 , wherein
the guide portion is a groove portion formed in the tip end portion, and
the groove portion includes a first part formed from an upper end of the tip end portion to the center, and a second part formed on a lower side of the first part, the second part being larger in width than the first part, when the groove portion is viewed in a state in which the fixing unit is fixed to the attachment unit.

7. The adjustment jig according to claim 1 , wherein
the extension unit is welded with the fixing unit.

8. An adjustment method using the adjustment jig of claim 1 , the adjustment method comprising:
setting a target position in a position adjustment of the attachment unit;
fixing the fixing unit to the attachment unit; and
adjusting a position of the adjustment jig to make the target position set in the setting coincide with a position indicated by the suspension unit.
