Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、車両用計器盤における光漏れ軽減構造に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、自動車、自走式重機械、自動二輪車等の車両には、車両の運転状態および車両の状態を示す計器が運転席の前方の運転者が容易に監視できる箇所に配置されている。
【0003】
例えば、乗用自動車の場合には、速度計、回転計、燃料計、水温計、各種警報サイン等が運転席前方の計器盤パネルに設置された車両用計器盤にまとめて表示されている。
【0004】
そして、これらの車両用計器盤は、目盛り、文字を表示する文字板および指針が運転者に視認され易いように、照明が行われている。
【0005】
この車両用計器盤は、通常、文字板と、仕切り板を一体に形成したケース本体から構成されており、各仕切り板で分割された空間には、それぞれ該空間に設けられた光源が照射され、これら光源によって、仕切られた文字板の文字や図形等が浮かび上がり、運転者がこれらを視認することにより、この情報に基づいて車両を安全に運転したり、車内をコントロールしている。
【0006】
しかし、文字板と、仕切り板とを一体に形成したケース本体の係合は、文字板側の仕切り板との当接部を印刷工程で糊を付着しており、この糊により接着されている。
【0007】
また、さらに、文字板と、仕切り板との当接部に、弾力性を有するゴム状のシートを介して当接している。
【0008】
しかし、これらの当接部は、図2に示すように、車両の走行中の振動により、文字板と仕切り板と接着が剥がれたり、また、文字板と仕切り板との間のゴム状のシートが浮くことにより、文字板と、仕切り板との当接部に隙間ができ、文字板が仕切り板から浮いてしまい、照明光が隣接の文字板に漏れてしまい、本来なら非点灯である文字板にも点灯してしまうという欠点があった。
【0009】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
そこでこの発明は、上記の欠点を除去し、簡単な構造により、従来の製造工程に新たな工程を加えることなく、光漏れのしない、あるいは、光漏れを軽減する車両用計器盤における光漏れ軽減構造を開発・提供するものである。
【0010】
【課題を解決する為の手段】
そのため、この発明は、文字板側と、仕切り板を一体に形成したケース本体側等から構成し、仕切り板で仕切られた各室の内部に、それぞれ光源を照射して文字板側の文字等を視認させる車載用計器盤であって、文字板と仕切り板との当接部において、文字板側に、凹部を形成し、ケース側に、凸部を形成し、前記凹部に、凸部を嵌着したことを特徴とする光漏れ軽減構造である。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、この発明の一実施例を図1、図3に従って詳述すると、文字板と、複数の仕切り板を一体に形成したケース本体から構成し、仕切り板で仕切られた各室の内部から光源を照射して文字板側の文字等を視認させる車両用計器盤において、文字板(1)の裏部であって、仕切り板(2)との当接部に、糊(A)を印刷すると共に、嵌着する凹溝(X)を形成し、ケース本体側の仕切り板(2)の先端を、前記凹溝(X)に嵌着することを特徴とする車両用計器盤における光漏れ軽減構造から構成されるものである。
【0012】
尚、(Y)は、光源であり、また、文字板(1)の裏部であって、仕切り板(2)との当接部に、嵌着する凹溝(X)を形成する手段の一例としては、文字板シートはPC(t:0.4〜0.5)が一般的であり、糊を印刷後、外形を形成するためにプレスで打ち抜きを行っており、その際に、同時に凹溝も形成するものであり、新たな追加工程は発生しない。
【0013】
【発明の効果】
この発明によると、文字板(1)の裏部であって、仕切り板(2)との当接部に、糊(A)を印刷すると共に、嵌着する凹溝(X)を形成し、ケース本体側の仕切り板(2)の先端を、前記凹溝(X)に嵌着することにより、文字板が浮いて光源が隣接の空間に、光漏れすることがなく、あるいは、凹溝(X)を形成するにより、例え、文字板が浮いても、仕切り板(2)との先端が、凹溝内に位置するため、光源が漏れることがなく、しかも、新たな工程を必要としないため、コストもかからない等極めて有益なる効果を奏する。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a structure for reducing light leakage in an instrument panel for a vehicle.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in vehicles such as automobiles, self-propelled heavy machines, and motorcycles, instruments indicating the driving state of the vehicle and the state of the vehicle are arranged at locations where a driver in front of a driver's seat can easily monitor.
[0003]
For example, in the case of a passenger car, a speedometer, a tachometer, a fuel gauge, a water temperature gauge, various warning signs, and the like are collectively displayed on a vehicle instrument panel installed on an instrument panel panel in front of a driver's seat.
[0004]
These vehicle instrument panels are illuminated so that the scale, the dial for displaying characters, and the hands are easily recognized by the driver.
[0005]
This instrument panel for a vehicle is usually composed of a case body in which a dial and a partition plate are integrally formed, and a space divided by each partition plate is irradiated with a light source provided in the space. With these light sources, characters, figures, and the like on the dial plate are separated from each other, and the driver visually recognizes them so that the driver can safely drive the vehicle or control the inside of the vehicle based on the information.
[0006]
However, the engagement of the case body, in which the dial and the partition plate are integrally formed, is such that the contact portion with the dial plate-side partition plate is adhered with glue in a printing process, and is glued with this glue. .
[0007]
Furthermore, the contact portion between the dial and the partition plate is in contact with the rubber-like sheet having elasticity.
[0008]
However, as shown in FIG. 2, these abutting portions may cause the dial and the partition plate to be separated from the adhesive due to the vibration during traveling of the vehicle, or the rubber-like sheet between the dial plate and the partition plate. Floating, a gap is created in the contact part between the dial and the partition, the dial floats from the partition, and the illumination light leaks to the adjacent dial, and characters that are normally not lit There was a drawback that the board was turned on.
[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, the present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks, and eliminates light leakage or reduces light leakage in a vehicle instrument panel that reduces light leakage without adding a new process to a conventional manufacturing process by a simple structure. It develops and provides structures.
[0010]
[Means for solving the problem]
Therefore, the present invention comprises a dial plate side and a case body side integrally formed with a partition plate, and irradiates a light source inside each of the chambers partitioned by the partition plate, thereby illuminating the characters on the dial plate side. In the in-vehicle instrument panel for visually recognizing, at the contact portion between the dial and the partition plate, a concave portion is formed on the dial side, a convex portion is formed on the case side, and the convex portion is formed on the concave portion. The light leakage reducing structure is characterized by being fitted.
[0011]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3. The dial is constituted by a case body in which a plurality of partition plates are integrally formed. Glue (A) is printed on the rear part of the dial (1), which is in contact with the partition plate (2), on the instrument panel for vehicles that illuminates a light source and allows characters on the dial to be visually recognized. And a groove (X) for fitting is formed, and the tip of the partition plate (2) on the case body side is fitted to the groove (X). It is composed of a lightening structure.
[0012]
In addition, (Y) is a light source, and is a back part of the dial (1), which is a means for forming a concave groove (X) to be fitted in a contact portion with the partition plate (2). As an example, a dial sheet is generally PC (t: 0.4 to 0.5), and after printing glue, punching is performed by a press to form an outer shape. A concave groove is also formed, and no additional step is required.
[0013]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, at the back of the dial (1), which is in contact with the partition plate (2), glue (A) is printed and a concave groove (X) to be fitted is formed. By fitting the tip of the partition plate (2) on the case body side into the concave groove (X), the dial plate does not float and the light source does not leak light to the adjacent space, or the concave groove (X) can be used. By forming X), even if the dial plate floats, the tip of the partition plate (2) is located in the concave groove, so that the light source does not leak, and further, a new process is not required. Therefore, an extremely beneficial effect such as no cost is obtained.
