Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Meßinstrument mit Zifferblatt und meßwertabhängig über dem Zifferblatt angetriebenem Zeiger, insbesondere für Kraftfahrzeuge.The invention relates to a measuring instrument with a dial and driven depending on the measured value above the dial Pointers, in particular for motor vehicles.
Bei bekannten Meßinstrumenten dieser Art, beispielsweise Geschwindigkeits- oder Drehzahl-Meßinstrumenten für Kraft fahrzeuge wird das Zifferblatt mit Hilfe der Siebdruck technik gefertigt, die sehr aufwendig und mit hohem Aus schuß behaftet ist. Es kann vorkommen, daß bis zu 50% oder mehr der im Siebdruckverfahren hergestellten Zifferblätter verworfen werden müssen.In known measuring instruments of this type, for example Speed or speed measuring instruments for force vehicles the dial with the help of screen printing technology manufactured, which is very complex and with a high degree is shot. It can happen that up to 50% or more of the dials made by screen printing must be discarded.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein gattungsgemäßes Meß instrument in einfacherer Weise und unter geringerem Aufwand mit einem Zifferblatt zu versehen.It is an object of the invention to perform a generic measurement instrument in a simpler way and less Effort to provide a dial.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das Zifferblatt durch Projektion eines Diapositivs auf einen Schirm erzeugt ist, über welchem der Zeiger verdrehbar ist.The object is achieved in that the Dial by projecting a slide onto one Screen is generated, over which the pointer can be rotated.
Hierdurch gelangt die Anwendung des Siebdruckverfahrens bei der Zifferblattherstellung völlig in Wegfall. Die Projektion des Zifferblatts mit Hilfe eines Diapositives läßt sich relativ einfach und kostengünstig ausführen.As a result, the screen printing process is used completely eliminated in the manufacture of the dial. The Projection of the dial with the help of a slide can be carried out relatively easily and inexpensively.
Die nachstehende Beschreibung einer bevorzugten Ausfüh rungsform der Erfindung dient im Zusammenhang mit beilie gender Zeichnung der weiteren Erläuterung. Es zeigen:The following description of a preferred embodiment tion form of the invention serves in connection with beigie gender drawing of further explanation. Show it:
Fig. 1 schematisch eine Schnittansicht eines Meßinstruments mit Zifferblatt und Zeiger für ein Kraftfahrzeug und Fig. 1 shows schematically a sectional view of a measuring instrument with a dial and pointer for a motor vehicle and
Fig. 2 schematisch die Ausbildung eines Diapositivs. Fig. 2 shows schematically the formation of a slide.
In Fig. 1 ist schematisch in einer seitlichen Schnittan sicht ein Meßinstrument, beispielsweise der Tachometer an der Armaturentafel eines Kraftfahrzeuges dargestellt. Ein auf einer Platine 1 stationär angeordnetes Meßwerk 2 treibt einen Zeiger 3 meßwertabhängig an, der in der üblichen Weise über einem Zifferblatt 4 verdrehbar ist. Die ganze Anordnung ist in der üblichen Weise von einem Gehäuse 6 umschlossen, welches zumindest an seiner Vorder seite gewöhnlich elastisch nachgiebig ausgebildet ist und sich unterhalb der Frontscheibe eines Kraftfahrzeuges in Querrichtung vor dem Lenker des Fahrzeuges erstreckt. Das Gehäuse 6 ist mit einer durchsichtigen, reflektionsfreien Abdeckscheibe 7 ausgestattet, durch die hindurch der Kraftfahrzeugfahrer den Zeiger 3 des Instruments beob achtet.In Fig. 1, a measuring instrument, for example the speedometer on the dashboard of a motor vehicle, is shown schematically in a sectional side view. A measuring mechanism 2 arranged stationary on a circuit board 1 drives a pointer 3 depending on the measured value, which can be rotated in the usual way over a dial 4 . The whole arrangement is enclosed in the usual manner by a housing 6 , which is usually designed to be resilient at least on its front side and extends below the windshield of a motor vehicle in the transverse direction in front of the handlebars of the vehicle. The housing 6 is equipped with a transparent, reflection-free cover plate 7 through which the motor vehicle driver observes the pointer 3 of the instrument.
Im oberen Teil des Gehäuses 6 ist eine Lichtquelle 8, z. B. in Gestalt einer elektrischen Glühlampe fest angeordnet, welche der Projektion eines Diapositivs 9 dient. Das Dia positiv 9 ist die sehr verkleinerte und verzerrte Darstel lung eines Zifferblatts - vgl. Fig. 2 -, beispielsweise ein Zifferblatt für einen Tachometer. Im Projektions strahlengang sind in üblicher Weise zwei Linsen 11, 12 sowie eine spiegelnde Fläche 13 vorgesehen, wobei letztere unsichtbar hinter der schrägen, meist weich gepolsterten Vorderwand (der sogenannten "Hutze") des Gehäuses 6 ange ordnet ist. Die Abbildung des Diapositivs 9 erfolgt in Gestalt des Zifferblatts 4 auf einer als Schirm 5 dienen den, vorzugsweise weißen, gut reflektierenden Fläche. Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, erfolgt die Projektion des Dia positivs 9 auf dem Schirm 5 "schiefwinklig", so daß das Diapositiv 9 entsprechend elliptisch verzerrt ausgebildet sein muß (Fig. 2), um auf dem Schirm 5 ein kreisrundes Zifferblatt 4 zu ergeben.In the upper part of the housing 6 , a light source 8 , for. B. fixed in the form of an electric light bulb, which is used to project a slide 9 . The slide positive 9 is the very small and distorted representation of a dial - cf. Fig. 2 -, for example a dial for a speedometer. In the projection beam path two lenses 11 , 12 and a reflecting surface 13 are provided in the usual manner, the latter being invisible behind the oblique, mostly softly padded front wall (the so-called "scoop") of the housing 6 is arranged. The slide 9 is depicted in the form of the dial 4 on a, preferably white, well-reflecting surface serving as a screen 5 . As can be seen from FIG. 1, the projection of the slide 9 on the screen 5 takes place “at an oblique angle”, so that the slide 9 must be correspondingly elliptically distorted ( FIG. 2) in order to produce a circular dial 4 on the screen 5 .
Bei der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Ausführungsform sind die zur Projektion des Diapositivs 9 erforderlichen optischen Mittel und der Zeiger 3 auf derselben Seite des Schirms 5 angeordnet. Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform könnte die Projektion des Diapositives 9 auch auf die dem Zeiger 3 abgewandte Rückseite des Schirms 5 erfolgen, der in diesem Falle aus lichtstreuendem Material beispielsweise in Form einer Mattscheibe hergestellt ist.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the optical means required for the projection of the slide 9 and the pointer 3 are arranged on the same side of the screen 5 . In another embodiment, the projection of the slide 9 could also take place on the rear side of the screen 5 facing away from the pointer 3 , which in this case is made of light-scattering material, for example in the form of a matt screen.
Es hat sich gezeigt, daß sich bei der beschriebenen optischen Anordnung praktisch keine störende Schatten wirkung des Zeigers 3 ergibt.It has been shown that there is practically no disturbing shadow effect of the pointer 3 in the optical arrangement described.
Die beschriebene optische Ausbildung des Zifferblatts 4 ist deswegen von besonderem Vorteil, weil das projizierte Zifferblatt selbstleuchtend ist. Es kann also eine beson dere Lichtquelle für die Beleuchtung des Zifferblatts ent fallen. Außerdem entfällt der bisher benötigte, als Licht leiter ausgebildete Träger des Zifferblatts, der für die gleichmäßige Verteilung des aus der Lichtquelle stammenden Lichtes zu den einzelnen Skalenbereichen des Zifferblatts sorgt. Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 1 kann der Schirm 5 beispielsweise aus einfarbig lackiertem Blech bestehen.The optical design of the dial 4 described is particularly advantageous because the projected dial is self-illuminating. So it can be a special light source for illuminating the dial. In addition, the previously required light guide of the dial, which ensures the uniform distribution of the light coming from the light source to the individual scale areas of the dial, is no longer required. In the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the screen 5 can consist, for example, of single-color painted sheet metal.
Die beschriebene Anordnung ermöglicht weiterhin in ein facher Weise eine Farbanpassung an Kundenwünsche, weil entweder verschiedenfarbige Lichtquellen 8 oder unter schiedlich eingefärbte Schirme 5 zum Einsatz gelangen können.The arrangement described further enables color adaptation to customer requirements in a simple manner, because either differently colored light sources 8 or differently colored screens 5 can be used.
Von Vorteil ist auch, daß der Schirm 5 dann, wenn der Zündschlüssel des Kraftfahrzeuges nicht entsprechend verdreht ist, die das Zifferblatt tragende Fläche völlig neutral aussieht und keinerlei Zifferblatt zeigt ("Dead front-Effekt").It is also advantageous that the screen 5 , when the ignition key of the motor vehicle is not turned accordingly, the surface bearing the dial looks completely neutral and shows no dial ("dead front effect").
