Instrument carrier panel 12 usually comprises shell 20, and shell can comprise the auxiliary feature be attached to by instrument carrier panel 12 before the operator's compartment of vehicle 10 on dividing plate 16, and this will be familiar with by technical personnel in the art.Instrument carrier panel 12 also comprises actuator 22, and it is shown as and is in usually relevant to the mileage/reset button of instrument carrier panel 12 position.As becoming clear in the following description, this actuator 22 is with the difference of the example of the mileage/reset button of prior art, and it does not comprise the axle extending through telltale 18 as to many known instrument carrier panel common practice.In addition, actuator 22 does not rely on other device of electric wire or conducting electrical signals, and this device conducts the electric signal from actuator 22, to indicate this actuator 22 to activated to other circuit in instrument carrier panel 12.Really, as will be apparent, actuator 22 seems and suspends on display 18, not used for activating any obvious device of described actuator 22 with other circuit communication in instrument carrier panel 12.
In order to reach this effect, actuator 22 is configured to usually: when actuator 22 activated, and it sends distinctive sound 24 (Fig. 5) to shell 20.Therefore, actuator 22 is usually to be effectively coupled to the mode coupling or attached or be installed to shell 20 of shell 20 by characteristic sound.Preferably, actuator 22 is positioned on the lens component 28 of shell 20.Should be understood that, this lens component 28 can be formed by the as clear as crystal material of such as clear as crystal polymer compound, so, there is the mystique effect (Fig. 3) how actuator 22 is connected with the circuit card 30 of such as instrument carrier panel 12.
Fig. 3 is the exploded perspective view of Fig. 2, and it illustrates the non-limiting feature of instrument carrier panel 12 further.In order to the sound of detection feature, instrument carrier panel 12 can be equipped with microphone 26, and it is configured to detect the characteristic sound 24 in shell 20.As used herein, term " microphone " is used to refer to any device of the actuator 22 build-up of pressure correspondence change that can detect sound wave or send characteristic sound.Like this, microphone can use but be not limited to use electromagnetic induction (dynamic microphone), capacitance variations (capacitor microphone), piezo-electric generating, or light modulation produces the voltage signal because mechanical vibration cause.Alternatively, microphone 26 can be the pneumatic pressure transmitter of the 26PC01SMT pressure sensor of such as Honeywell.The reason manufactured for convenience, microphone 26 is preferably arranged on circuit card 30; But for some suprastructure or other environmental consideration, other position also can be favourable.
Figure 4 and 5 illustrate the details that actuator 22 is relevant to instrument carrier panel 12 further feature further.In one embodiment, actuator 22 comprises can the dome 32 of pipa sounding, easily can buy from several suppliers the dome of pipa sounding, comprise the snap company (SnaptronInc.) in the Windsor city in the many states of crolla.Include in as shown in the figure can the dome 32 of pipa sounding be favourable because activate contact with lens component 28 simultaneously time, can select can the dome 32 of pipa sounding to produce characteristic sounds 24.The dome 32 of pipa sounding can be attached to the surface of lens component 28 simply.But, the dome 32 of pipa sounding preferably can be placed in the pouch 34 be molded in lens component 28, and when activateding along direction shown in arrow 40, activated by push rod 36.Structure so is considered to favourable, can compared with the situation of the pipa dome 32 of sounding because directly contact with the finger of operator 14, and characteristic sound 24 should be more consistent.Like this, actuator 22 comprises push rod 36, and it is configured to activate when pushing push rod 36 this can the dome 32 of pipa sounding.
The alternate manner that actuator is formed on the surface at lens component 28 can be conceived, so the example of setting forth is not restrictive here.Such as, actuator is by providing in dome feature molded to lens component, and wherein, dome latent structure becomes can the mode of the pipa dome 32 of sounding to be similar to, and deflects when operator 14 presses.In addition, substitute pressing push rod 36, actuator can be configured to send characteristic noise when push rod 36 or knob replace push rod 36 to rotate.
In the limiting examples provided above, actuator 22 usually refers to the mileage reset button of instrument carrier panel 12.But the introduction also can conceiving related actuator set forth herein can be applicable in the device outside instrument carrier panel 12.Such as, actuator can be used as the ON/OFF button on radio in vehicle 10 or other entertainment device, or the release knob in vehicle 10 on other device still undiscovered.In addition, although only propose an actuator, can conceive, instrument carrier panel 12 or other device can be equipped with multiple actuator.Each actuator can be configured to send different characteristic sound.Alternatively, instrument carrier panel can be equipped with multiple microphone, and the flight time measurement value coming from the signal of multiple microphone can be used to determine that in multiple actuator, which will activated.
Also can recognize, when press and release can the dome 32 of pipa sounding time, the sound sent can be different.Like this, actuator 22 can be configured to: when by hydraulic actuator, just sends the first sound, and when discharging actuator, just sends the second sound being different from the first sound.Therefore reach a conclusion, microphone 26 or the controller (not shown) from microphone 26 Received signal strength can be configured to for determining that the sound detected corresponds to the pressing of actuator 22 or corresponding to the release to actuator 22.Structure so will allow pressing and maintain the operation of actuator 22, so, provide than being used simply as the more actuator operated pattern of mileage/reset button.Alternatively, actuator pressing and release can be determined by the polarity difference from microphone signal.
Controller can comprise the such treater of such as microprocessor, or in the art technical personnel other control circuit of understanding.Controller can comprise memory device, comprises nonvolatile memory, the read-only memory (ROM) (EEPROM) of such as electric erazable programmable, for the data storing one or more program, threshold value and can catch.One or more program can be performed by treater, to perform the step whether signal determining to be received by controller corresponds to characteristic sound 24 as described herein.Circuit card 30 also can comprise standby circuit, to filter the signal from microphone 26, thus detection feature sound 24 better.
Therefore, the actuator 22 of the instrument carrier panel 12 for vehicle 10 is provided.Activate because actuator 22 carrys out communication with sound wave (characteristic sound 24), so do not need to be connected to actuator 22 with ugly electric wire, actuator 22 does not need physically to extend to telltale 18 or by telltale 18.Like this, the aesthetic more happy people of instrument carrier panel 12, and provide and how to make the actuating communication of actuator 22 to the mystique on instrument carrier panel 12.
