Description

  The present invention relates to a pointer instrument.

  In recent years, as a pointer instrument, various methods have been proposed in order to improve its appearance and visibility.

  For example, a pointer instrument provided with a translucent member formed in a ring shape surrounding the outer periphery of a pointer on a dial is disclosed (see Patent Document 1).

  This translucent member introduces a part of the light emitted from the transmission light source for the dial to illuminate the dial from the inner peripheral surface of the translucent member. The scale part is formed in the dial in the vicinity of the inner side of the translucent member, and the portion where the scale part is formed is formed in a concave shape so as to face the inner peripheral surface of the translucent member. For this reason, this site | part is illuminated from the inner peripheral surface of a translucent member, and this recessed shape is emphasized. Thereby, the display of the scale part is given a three-dimensional effect, and it is intended to obtain an attractive and novel visibility.

  In addition, a pointer instrument is disclosed that includes a ring-shaped translucent member formed on a dial and a light source that causes light to enter the translucent member (see Patent Document 2).

A translucent member is provided with the reflection part which visually recognizes the light which the light source emitted as reflected light. This reflection part is formed as a some recessed part, and comprises the scale part of a vehicle speedometer. For this reason, the scale part (concave part) of the translucent member located on the viewing side with respect to the dial is visually recognized in three dimensions with reference to the dial. Thereby, the display of the scale part is given a three-dimensional effect, and it is intended to obtain an attractive and novel visibility.
2002-257601 gazette No. 2003-302262

  However, the three-dimensional effect obtained in Patent Document 1 is simple in that a portion formed in a concave shape on the dial face is illuminated at the top, and this concave shape is emphasized. For this reason, the stereoscopic effect obtained in Patent Document 1 has a certain limit.

  On the other hand, the three-dimensional effect obtained in Patent Document 2 is obtained by visually recognizing the scale portion of the translucent member positioned closer to the viewing side than the dial. For this reason, although a certain effect is acquired, only the three-dimensional effect for the thickness of the translucent member can be expected.

  This is not limited to the display of the scale part, but is common to the display of the indicator part including characters.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pointer instrument that can enhance the stereoscopic effect with respect to the display of the indicator portion.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following technical means.

  The pointer instrument according to claim 1 includes a dial, a pointer that rotates along the front side of the dial on the viewing side, and a translucency that is disposed on the viewing side of the pointer and at least a part of the indicator portion is formed. And a translucent member is arranged so that a part of the dial can be viewed from the viewing side through the translucent member.

  In this configuration, since the translucent member is arranged on the viewing side from the pointer, the indicator portion and the character formed on the translucent member are compared with the configuration in which the translucent member is arranged on the front side of the dial on the viewing side. The distance from the board can be increased. Moreover, in this structure, since the translucent member is arrange | positioned so that a part of dial can be visually recognized from a visual side through a translucent member, the index part formed in the translucent member is a dial. However, the distance between them appears to float.

  Accordingly, it is possible to provide a pointer instrument that can enhance the stereoscopic effect with respect to the display of the indicator portion.

  The pointer instrument according to claim 2 includes a light source, and the translucent member receives light emitted from the light source so that the indicator portion formed on the translucent member is visually recognized as reflected light from the indicator portion. It is comprised by these.

  In this configuration, the translucent member is configured to visually recognize the indicator portion formed on the translucent member as reflected light of light emitted from the light source. Thereby, the indicator portion can be visually recognized more clearly while ensuring the translucency of the translucent member. As a result, the above-described effects can be further enhanced.

  That is, in order to ensure the translucency of the translucent member, it is necessary to form the background portion of the indicator portion higher in the translucent member than the indicator portion. In other words, it is necessary to form the indicator part with lower translucency than the background part. For this reason, when the indicator portion is visually recognized as the transmitted light of the light emitted from the light source, it is necessary to reduce the translucency of the indicator portion, so that the intensity of the transmitted light is reduced. As a result, the indicator portion cannot be clearly seen.

  On the other hand, in this configuration, the indicator portion formed on the translucent member is configured to be visually recognized as reflected light of the light emitted from the light source. Therefore, it is possible to form the film with low reflectivity, that is, with high reflectivity. Thereby, it is possible to increase the intensity of the reflected light from the index portion, and as a result, it is possible to make the index portion more clearly visible while ensuring the translucency of the translucent member.

  The pointer instrument according to claim 3, wherein the indicator portion formed on the translucent member is formed on the viewing side front surface of the translucent member, and the light source has the indicator portion formed on the translucent member on the viewing side. It arrange | positions so that it may illuminate from.

  In this configuration, since the indicator portion is formed on the viewing side front surface of the translucent member, the distance between the dial and the indicator portion can be made larger by the plate thickness of the translucent member. Thereby, the above-described effect can be further enhanced.

  The indicator instrument according to claim 4, wherein the indicator portion formed on the translucent member is formed on the surface of the translucent member opposite to the viewing side, and the translucent member emits light emitted from the light source. It introduce | transduces and it is comprised so that an indicator part may be illuminated from a viewing side in a translucent member.

  In this configuration, the translucent member is configured to introduce light emitted from the light source and illuminate the indicator portion from the viewing side in the translucent member. As a result, it is possible to arbitrarily select a position where light emitted from the light source is introduced. As a result, the above-described effects can be obtained with a simpler configuration.

  The pointer instrument according to claim 5 is characterized in that the light source is arranged behind the dial, and the dial is configured to receive and transmit a part of the light from the light source. .

  In this configuration, since the light source that makes light incident on the translucent member and the transmitted illumination light source of the dial face are shared, the above-described effects can be obtained while suppressing an increase in the number of components.

  The pointer instrument according to claim 6 is configured such that the light source is disposed behind the dial, the dial is configured to receive and transmit a part of the light of the light source, and the translucent member includes: A light guide unit for introducing light emitted from the light source is provided on the back side of the dial.

  In this configuration, the light source that makes light incident on the translucent member and the transmitted illumination light source of the dial are shared, and a light guide unit that introduces light emitted from the light source is provided on the back side of the dial. Thereby, the effect of claim 4 can be obtained with a simple configuration while suppressing an increase in the number of parts.

  The pointer instrument according to claim 7 is characterized in that the indicator portion formed on the translucent member is formed as any one of a light reflection layer, a textured surface, and an uneven surface.

  In this configuration, the indicator portion is formed as one of a light reflection layer, a textured surface, and an uneven surface having a high light reflectance. Thereby, since an indicator part is visually recognized more clearly, the above-mentioned effect can be heightened more.

  In the pointer instrument according to claim 8, the translucent member is formed in a shape along a direction in which the tip of the pointer rotates, and a part of the pointer can be visually recognized through the translucent member. It is characterized by being arranged in.

  In this configuration, the translucent member is formed in a shape along the direction in which the tip of the pointer rotates, and is disposed so that a part of the pointer can be visually recognized through the translucent member. For this reason, the pointer is visually recognized at a position between the indicator portion formed on the translucent member and the dial. Thereby, in addition to the comparison between the indicator portion and the dial, the comparison of the pointer is added, and the stereoscopic effect can be more emphasized in the display of the indicator portion.

  The pointer instrument according to claim 9 is characterized in that the remainder of the indicator portion is formed on the dial.

  In this configuration, the stereoscopic effect can be more emphasized with respect to the display of the index part by comparing the index part formed on the dial and the index part formed on the translucent member. As a result, it is possible to provide a pointer instrument that can further enhance the stereoscopic effect with respect to the display of the indicator portion.

  Hereinafter, a case where the pointer instrument according to the present invention is applied to a combination meter mounted on an automobile will be described with reference to the drawings.

(Constitution)
FIG. 1 is a front view of a combination meter 1 which is a pointer meter according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II-II in FIG.

  FIG. 3 is a circuit configuration diagram illustrating an electrical circuit configuration of the combination meter 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention.

  The combination meter 1 which is a pointer instrument is arranged in front of the driver's seat of the automobile and displays various information related to the automobile. A combination meter 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention constitutes a speedometer that displays a traveling speed, as shown in FIG.

  The speedometer includes a dial 2, a pointer 3 that rotates along the front side of the viewing side (upper surface indicated by the arrow in FIG. 2), and a viewing side (upper side indicated by the arrow in FIG. 2) of the pointer 3. A translucent ring 8 that is a translucent member that is disposed and has a scale portion 82 that is an indicator portion is provided.

  The dial 2 is formed of a translucent material, for example, a plate material such as colorless and transparent polycarbonate resin, and a character portion 21 as an indicator portion is formed by printing or hot stamping on the front side of the driver's viewing side. Is done. The character part 21 is formed so as to be in a white translucent state, for example, and the background thereof is formed so as to be in a matte, for example, blue, non-translucent state (or a state in which the matte translucency is low). The

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the dial 2 is formed so that its outer peripheral side protrudes to the viewing side in order to improve its design, and after the character portion 21 is printed, the compressed air is applied. The protruding shape is formed by molding (a type of drawing) or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the dial 2 is provided with a through hole 23 through which a shaft 31 a of a movement 31 described later is inserted, and behind the dial 2 (on the lower side indicated by the arrow in FIG. 2), A movement 31, a light emitting diode 41 that is a light source, a light emitting diode 42, a case 5, a diffusion plate 6, and a printed board 9 are arranged. The printed circuit board 9 constitutes an electric circuit part of the speedometer, and the movement 31 and the light emitting diodes 41 and 42 are mounted on the printed circuit board 9.

  The movement 31 is composed of, for example, a cross coil actuator, a stepping motor, or the like, and rotates the shaft 31a by an angle corresponding to an external electric signal (vehicle speed signal in the present embodiment). The shaft 31a extends through the through hole 23 of the dial 2 to the viewing side, that is, the upper side indicated by the arrow in FIG. 2, and the pointer 3 is fixed to the tip thereof.

  The case 5 forms an illumination chamber that guides, for example, white light from the light emitting diode 42 to the pointer 3, and also forms an illumination chamber that guides, for example, white light from the light emitting diode 41 to the diffusion plate 6. The case 5 has a white inner peripheral surface. The light of the light emitting diode 42 is reflected by the inner peripheral surface of the case 5 and guided in the direction of the pointer 3, and the light of the light emitting diode 41 is reflected by the inner peripheral surface of the case 5 and guided to the diffusion plate 6.

  The pointer 3 is formed of a translucent material such as acrylic resin, and has a red layer on the front surface of the pointer 3. The pointer 3 is configured to emit and display red light by white light of the light emitting diode 42 incident on the pointer 3. The light shielding cap 32 prevents the white light of the light emitting diode 42 from directly entering the eyes of the driver, and is formed of a non-translucent resin or the like.

  The diffusing plate 6 diffuses the white light of the light emitting diode 41 incident on the diffusing plate 6 to uniformly transmit and illuminate the dial 2, and transmits a part of the white light of the light emitting diode 41 to the translucent ring 8. It is reflected toward.

  The translucent ring 8 which is a feature of the present invention is formed in a ring shape from a colorless and transparent acrylic resin or the like. The scale portion 82 is formed as a white light reflecting layer on the surface of the translucent ring 8 opposite to the viewing side of the pointer 3 (upper side in FIG. 2). In addition, the translucent ring 8 includes a light receiving surface 83 that is a light guide for introducing reflected light from the diffusion plate 6 of the light emitting diode 41 into the translucent ring 8, and reflective surfaces 84 and 85.

  The reflecting surfaces 84 and 85 guide the light of the light emitting diode 41 introduced from the light receiving surface 83 into the translucent ring 8 to the scale portion 82 and illuminate the scale portion 82 from the viewing side in the translucent ring 8. Thereby, the scale part 82 is visually recognized as reflected light from the scale part 82. The translucent ring 8 is fixed to the case 5 by hooking or screws.

  The translucent ring 8 is formed by resin molding, and the scale portion 82 is formed by hot stamping or the like after this molding.

  The design plate 12 covers the end portion of the dial 2 and the light receiving surface 83 and the reflecting surfaces 84 and 85 of the translucent ring 8.

  The electric circuit configuration of the combination meter 1 according to the present embodiment described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  The control device 10 composed of a microcomputer or the like is always supplied with electric power from the battery 14, and the ignition switch 13 is connected so as to be able to detect its operation position (off position, on position). Further, a vehicle speed sensor 11 for detecting the traveling speed of the vehicle is connected to the control device 10 so that the signal can be input.

  In addition, the movement 31 and the light emitting diodes 41 and 42 driven by the control device 10 according to the detection signal from the vehicle speed sensor 11 are also connected to the control device 10.

(Operation)
Below, the operation | movement of the combination meter 1 by this embodiment is demonstrated in the said structure.

  When the ignition switch 13 is turned on by the driver, in FIG. 3, the control device 10 detects it and starts operation, lights up the light emitting diodes 41 and 42, and drives the movement 31. That is, the control device 10 calculates the vehicle speed of the vehicle based on the output signal from the speed sensor 11, and drives the movement 31 so as to rotate the shaft 31a by an angle corresponding to the calculated vehicle speed.

  The white light emitted from the light-emitting diode 42 is guided by the case 5 along the optical path P3 in FIG.

  A part of the white light of the lit light emitting diode 41 is guided to the case 5 and made uniform in the diffusion plate 6 along the optical path P2 in FIG. As a result, on the dial 2, the character portion 21 emits light in white with a blue background.

  On the other hand, a part of the white light of the lit light emitting diode 41 is reflected by the diffuser plate 6 along the optical path P1 in FIG. The part 82 is illuminated from the viewing side. Thereby, the scale part 82 is visually recognized as white reflected light from the scale part 82.

  Here, since the translucent ring 8 is disposed on the viewing side from the pointer 3, the dial 2 and the translucent ring are compared with the configuration in which the translucent ring 8 is disposed on the front side of the dial on the viewing side. The distance from the eight scale portions 82 can be increased. Further, since the translucent ring 8 is arranged so that a part of the dial 2 can be viewed from the viewing side through the translucent ring 8, the dial 2 can be viewed through the translucent ring 8. .

  Thereby, the scale part 82 of the translucent ring 8 can be visually recognized in a state where the stereoscopic effect is emphasized with the dial 2 as a reference. That is, the scale portion 82 appears to float on the translucent ring 8 with respect to the dial 2 having a blue background. Since the distance between the dial 2 and the scale portion 82 of the translucent ring 8 can be increased, it is more emphasized that the dial 2 appears to be floating.

  Moreover, the white light of the light emitting diode 41 is guided into the translucent ring 8, the scale portion 82 is illuminated from the viewing side, and the scale portion 82 is visually recognized as white reflected light from the scale portion 82. For this reason, the scale part 82 can be visually recognized more clearly.

  That is, in order to ensure the translucency of the translucent ring 8, it is necessary to form the background portion of the scale portion 82 in the translucent ring 8 so that the translucency is higher than that of the scale portion 82. In other words, it is necessary to form the scale part 82 with lower translucency than the background part. For this reason, when making the scale part 82 visually recognized as the transmitted light of the light emitted from the light emitting diode 41, it is necessary to reduce the translucency of the scale part 82, so that the intensity of the transmitted light is reduced. Thereby, the scale part 82 cannot be visually recognized clearly.

  On the other hand, since the scale portion 82 is configured to be visually recognized as reflected light of the light emitted from the light emitting diode 41, the light emitting diode 41 has lower translucency than the background portion, that is, the reflectance is reduced. It becomes possible to form high. As a result, the intensity of the reflected light from the light emitting diode 41 can be increased. As a result, the scale portion 82 can be visually recognized more clearly while ensuring the translucency of the translucent ring 8.

  Moreover, it arrange | positions so that a part of pointer | guide 3 can be visually recognized through the translucent ring 8. FIG. For this reason, the pointer 3 is visually recognized at a position between the scale portion 82 and the dial 2. Thereby, in addition to the contrast of the scale part 82 and the dial 2, the contrast of the pointer 3 is added, and the stereoscopic effect can be further emphasized in the display of the scale part 82.

  The translucent ring 8 is configured to introduce light emitted from the light source and illuminate the scale 82 in the translucent ring 8 from the viewing side. As a result, it is possible to arbitrarily select the position of the light receiving surface 83 for introducing the light emitted from the light source, so that a degree of freedom in the arrangement of the light sources can be obtained. As a result, the light-emitting diode 41 that illuminates the dial 2 can be used as the light source of the translucent ring 8, and the above-described effects can be obtained while suppressing an increase in the number of components.

  Further, the contrast between the character portion 21 formed on the dial 2 and the scale portion 82 formed on the translucent ring 8 provides a three-dimensional effect on the display of the indicator portion that combines the character portion 21 and the scale portion 82. Can be emphasized more.

(Modification)
FIG. 4A is an enlarged view of an IVA portion showing a modification of the scale portion 82 shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4B is a view taken along the arrow IVB in FIG.

  The scale portion 82 does not need to be formed as a light reflecting layer, and can be formed as a saw-toothed uneven surface as shown in FIG. In this case, the white light of the light-emitting diode 41 that has been lit is reflected by the saw-toothed uneven surface of the scale portion 82 according to the optical path P1 in FIG. Make it visible as reflected light. Thereby, the above-mentioned effect can be acquired.

  Further, the scale portion 82 can be formed as a textured surface having fine irregularities.

  When the scale portion 82 is formed as a saw-toothed uneven surface or a textured surface having fine unevenness, the scale portion 82 can be formed when the translucent ring 8 is formed.

As a result, the above-described effects can be obtained while reducing the number of parts.

  FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a second modification of the combination meter 1 shown in FIG.

  In the second modified example, as shown in FIG. 6, unlike the above case, a scale portion 22 is formed on the dial 2 instead of the character portion 21, and the translucent ring 8 is replaced with the character portion instead of the scale portion 82. 81 is formed. The above-described effects can be obtained also in the second modification.

  FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a third modification of the combination meter 1 shown in FIG.

Are arranged so as to illuminate the scale 82 from the viewing side. In addition, a light emitting diode 43 dedicated to transmitted illumination of the dial 2 is newly provided.

  In the 3rd modification, since the scale part 82 is formed in the visual side front side of the translucent ring 8, the distance of the dial 2 and the scale part 82 is compared with the above-mentioned example, the translucent ring 8 It can be made larger by the plate thickness T. Thereby, a three-dimensional effect can be emphasized more with respect to the display of the indicator part that combines the scale part 82 and the character part 21.

  In FIG. 7, the light emitting diode 41 is schematically shown. However, the light emitting diode 41 may be mounted on a printed board (not shown) separate from the printed board 9. Alternatively, the light emitting diode 41 may be mounted on the printed circuit board 9, and the light from the light emitting diode 41 may be guided by a light guide member (not shown) so that the scale portion 82 is illuminated from the viewing side.

  In the above example, the translucent ring 8 is formed to be colorless and transparent, but is not limited to being colorless and transparent as long as it has translucency.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the dial 22 is formed so that its outer peripheral side protrudes toward the viewing side in order to enhance its design, but it can also be formed in a flat plate shape.

  Moreover, although the combination meter 1 forms the speedometer, it is not necessary to be limited to this, and can be replaced with or added to another instrument such as a tachometer.

  Further, in the above-described example, the translucent ring 8 is configured to receive the light emitted from the light emitting diode 41 and visually recognize the scale portion 82 (character portion 81) as reflected light from the scale portion 82. .
