Particularly, as shown in Figure 6A, in order to check the information that is presented on the instrument 54, as the speed of a motor vehicle, chaufeur 48 will pass front windshield 44 and sight line 49 towards the perimeter is moved down on the instrument 54, at this moment, shown in Fig. 6 B, the visual field of chaufeur 48 is reduced to the scope of 56 expressions from the scope of 58 expressions.The result is exactly, and the chaufeur 48 of checking instrument 54 can pass front windshield 44 and see that the visual field of perimeter is reduced near the visual field 61 the boundary line 45, and this visual field 61 is made of the long and short dash line of expression field range 56 and the solid line of expression front windshield 44 frameworks.
So, when chaufeur 48 watches the instruments 54 the time, just can not there be enough big field range to go to see the perimeter, therefore, may be difficult in people and the thing of finding to appear at car two 11 the place aheads (shown in arrow X1) in the short time.Under this situation, chaufeur 48 need move down its sight line a center from front windshield 44 and move on to long distance on the instrument 54.Because the central axis 55 of instrument 54 is offset from the central axis 59 of bearing circle 12, so the chaufeur 48 that is sitting on the seat 46 also just is forced to keep a kind of factitious vehicle driving posture to come steering vehicle 11.
In order to check the information that is presented on the instrument 57, chaufeur 48 is shifted to the instrument 57 (seeing Fig. 6 B) that is positioned at instrument 54 left sides with its sight line 49 from the display centre 63 of instrument 54, at this moment, the distance that sight line 49 moves in the horizontal direction is greater than the distance that moves in vertical direction, therefore, the time of sight line 49 parallel motions is longer than the time of vertical shifting.
Therefore, chaufeur 48 can not have the suitable visual field, perimeter, and its sight line 49 must be moved long distance.Furtherly, because instrument 57 is located at the central area of instrument carrier panel 14, so the chaufeur 48 that is sitting on the seat 46 just is forced to keep factitious vehicle driving posture to come steering vehicle 11.
When chaufeur 48 with its sight line 49 when the display centre 64 of instrument 57 is shifted to front windshield (seeing Fig. 6 A and Fig. 6 B) obliquely, chaufeur 48 can obtain a suitable outside visual field, but sight line 49 need be moved long distance.
As Fig. 1 to 3 and shown in Figure 7, with regard to the vehicular meter device 10 of embodiment of the present invention, the center (seat center) of the center of the display centre 19 of first clustered instrument board 16, the display centre 21 of second clustered instrument board 18, bearing circle 12, the center of steering shaft 53 and seat 46 is all along central axis 52 coaxial being positioned on the axis 39.Therefore, when chaufeur 48 with its sight line 49 when first clustered instrument board 16 is shifted in vehicle 11 the place aheads (X1 represents with arrow), sight line 49 is vertical shifting only.So, the distance that the distance that sight line 49 moves in the vehicular meter device 10 of present embodiment will move much smaller than sight line 49 in the vehicular meter device 51 (seeing Fig. 6 A and 6B) of Comparative Examples.
In addition, first clustered instrument board 16 shows to have the highest speed of checking the vehicle 11 of rate, and is positioned near the boundary line 45, and is darker than second clustered instrument board, 18 residing positions from outlook 37, the first clustered instrument boards 16 residing positions.So, to compare with the vehicular meter device 51 in the Comparative Examples, the vehicular meter device 10 in the present embodiment makes the chaufeur 4 easier display surfaces (panel 17) of watching first clustered instrument board 16 attentively.Therefore, chaufeur 48 can suitably be looked and recognize as demonstration information such as the speed of a motor vehicle.
In sum, because the center (seat center) of the display centre of the display centre 19 of first clustered instrument board 16, the display centre 21 of second clustered instrument board 18, bearing circle 12, the center of steering shaft 53 (see figure 3)s and seat 46 is all along central axis 52 coaxial being positioned on the axis 39, so chaufeur 48 can come steering vehicle 11 by natural vehicle driving posture, can check first clustered instrument board 16 and second clustered instrument board 18 simultaneously.
When chaufeur 48 (seeing Fig. 2 and Fig. 3) is shifted to the display centre 19 of first clustered instrument board 16 with its sight line 49, then can form the visual field 66 that is positioned at the visual field 56, in this visual field 66, chaufeur 48 can pass front windshield 44 and see the perimeter, promptly, as shown in Figure 7, the visual field 66 is by the long and short dash line of expression field range 56 and the scope that solid line constituted of expression boundary line 45.And in the Comparative Examples, chaufeur 48 is shifted to instrument 54 with its sight line 49, perimeter in the visual field 61, that is and, shown in Fig. 6 B, the visual field 61 is that in contrast to this, the visual field 66 is wideer by the scope that solid line constituted of the long and short dash line in the expression visual field 56 and expression boundary line 45.
So; as shown in Figure 8; vehicular meter device 10 in the present embodiment makes chaufeur 48 can suitably check the activity of perimeter in the visual field 60 (the moment visual field); can check the information on first clustered instrument board 16 again; simultaneously, can also in the visual field 56, look the information of recognizing on second clustered instrument board 18 usually, wherein; in the visual field 60, chaufeur 48 can be judged the activity of the perimeter in the visual field 56,58 moment.Therefore, when checking the perimeter and first clustered instrument board 16, chaufeur 48 just can find things at once, as appear at the place ahead pedestrian 62 of (representing with arrow X1 among Fig. 2 and Fig. 3), therefore, chaufeur 48 can be because of pedestrian 62 appearance fast control vehicle 11.
When chaufeur 48 with its sight line 49 from outlook 37 (see figure 2)s towards the place ahead when (X1 represents by arrow), the upper end of the panel 17 of first clustered instrument board 16 is projected in reflection archwise on the instrument carrier panel 14 along bearing circle 12.The vertical direction of pressing among Fig. 1 is measured, and the height of the panel 17 of first clustered instrument board 16 is less than the height of the panel 38 of second clustered instrument board 18.Therefore, chaufeur 48 obtains the absolute visual field of perimeter near the boundary line 45 of front windshield 44.
In sum, for vehicular meter device among the present invention 10 and the vehicle 11 that is provided with vehicular meter device 10, because the display centre 19 of first clustered instrument board 16 and the roughly coaxial each other setting of display centre 21 of second clustered instrument board 18, so the sight line of chaufeur 48 only need move in vertical direction.Because near first clustered instrument board 16 residing position boundary line 45 is darker than second clustered instrument board, 18 residing positions, and the indication on first clustered instrument board 16 is looked in the outside of bearing circle 12 to recognize, so, chaufeur 48 also can be watched the display surface (panel 17) of first clustered instrument board 16 attentively during with its sight line 49 pass front windshield 44 towards the place ahead perimeter of (X1 represents by arrow) with comparalive ease.So, to compare with the vehicular meter device 51 in the Comparative Examples, vehicular meter device 10 in the present embodiment and vehicle 11 can make the sight line 49 of chaufeur 48 move littler distance.
Below, with reference to Fig. 9 to Figure 12 C, the vehicle display device 114 according to second embodiment of the invention is described with the vehicle 110 that is provided with this vehicle display device 114.
