Description

  The present invention relates to a display device installed on, for example, a dashboard of a vehicle, and in particular, the display unit is tilted horizontally from a state where the display unit is upright on the front surface of the main body to open the front surface, or the display unit is tilted. The present invention relates to a display device that can be easily viewed by a user.

  In recent years, in-vehicle navigation devices have become widespread. This in-vehicle navigation device is generally installed on a dashboard. At this time, in order to make the display unit of the in-vehicle navigation device easy to see, it is necessary to tilt only the display unit at an optimum angle while the in-vehicle navigation device is fixed to the dashboard.

  Therefore, conventionally, for example, a technique shown in Patent Document 1 below has been proposed. This is displayed on in-vehicle navigation equipment by a chassis whose back is housed and fixed in the dashboard and a support that is pivotally connected to the front of the chassis and supports the display from below. The part is rotatably supported. Furthermore, it has means for fixing the rotation position of the display unit at a desired angle. The fixing means includes a substantially U-shaped holding plate having a sliding surface that is attached to the back surface of the display unit and that is in sliding contact with the side frame of the chassis, a first pin that projects from a lower portion of the sliding surface, A plurality of mounting holes disposed at predetermined intervals on the upper surface of the surface, a second pin attached to the mounting hole, and a fitting that allows the first pin and the second pin to be slid vertically. It consists of a fitting groove formed in the side frame to be joined.

  As a result, the display unit is fixed by attaching the second pin to the attachment hole via the fitting groove at a desired rotation position. For example, the display unit can set an upward and downward state at an arbitrary angle from an upright state.

Sectional drawing which shows the attachment state to a dashboard in case the display part is in a horizontal state in the vehicle-mounted display apparatus which concerns on the Example of invention, FIG. 10 shows the control part of the vehicle-mounted display apparatus in the Example of this invention. It is a block diagram.

  The device main body 2 of the in-vehicle display device 1 includes a horizontal side plate 3 extending in the horizontal direction on both sides of the lower portion of the device main body 2 and a vertical stand vertically provided on both sides of the front portion of the device main body 2. A side plate 5 and a rectangular thin display section 9 are provided. A horizontal direction guide 4 is formed on the inner surface of the horizontal side plate 3, and a vertical direction guide 6 is formed on the inner surface of the vertical side plate 5. The display unit 9 is rotatably connected to the horizontal sliding body 8 by a connecting unit 10, and a first engaging portion 7 is projected from the horizontal sliding body 8 to the horizontal guide 4. It is slidably engaged. A second engaging portion 11 is provided on the upper portion of the side surface of the display portion 9 and is slidably engaged with the vertical guide 6. With this configuration, the first engaging portion 7 of the horizontal sliding body 8 slides in the horizontal direction along the horizontal guide 4 while changing the inclination of the display portion 9 around the connecting portion 10. As a result, the lower part of the display unit 9 moves forward and backward in the horizontal direction, and the second engagement part 11 moves in the vertical direction along the vertical guide 6 so that the upper part of the display unit 9 moves up and down. You can move. The device main body 2 of the in-vehicle display device 1 incorporates, for example, an optical disk drive (not shown), and the internal optical disk drive can be operated by moving the display unit 9.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the horizontal guide 4 includes a pair of parallel guide grooves 41 and 42. These guide grooves 41 and 42 have substantially the same shape, and are provided in parallel while being displaced in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction of the horizontal side plate 3. The first engaging portion 7 includes a pair of protrusions 71 and 72 protruding from the horizontal sliding body 8 at different positions in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction so as to engage with the respective guide grooves 41 and 42. Thus, since the horizontal sliding body 8 is moved by the pair of guide grooves 41 and 42 and the pair of 71 and 72, stable movement in the horizontal direction can be performed. However, it is not necessary to use two sets of these, and they may be used one by one.

  In addition, a vertical direction changing guide 12 that is continuous with the pair of guide grooves 41 and 42 of the horizontal direction guide 4 and is inclined upward is formed at the end portion farthest from the connecting portion 10 of the horizontal direction guide 4. ing.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the vertical guide 6 of the vertical side plate 5 extends along the extending direction of the vertical side plate 5, and its lower part is directed to the front of the in-vehicle display device 1. Slightly inclined. Further, a horizontal direction changing guide 13 is formed at the uppermost end portion of the vertical direction guide 6 so as to be connected to the vertical direction guide 6 and inclined forward of the apparatus body 2.

  The display unit 9 uses a liquid crystal display, a plasma display, or the like, and displays an image by a signal supplied from the device main body 2. In addition, it is preferable that a rectangular plate-shaped chassis including the first and second engaging portions 7 and 11 is provided as the display unit 9 separately from the display, and the display is attached to the chassis because the degree of freedom of the display is improved.

  As will be described in detail below, the display unit 9 includes a position in which the display unit 9 is in the upright state illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, a position in which the display screen illustrated in FIGS. The position which becomes a horizontal state shown by can be taken.

  First, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the in-vehicle display device 1 is attached to the dashboard 14 of the vehicle with the display unit 9 upright. In many cases, the dashboard 14 has an inclined surface or an upward curved surface. Therefore, in this attached state, the lower portion of the display unit 9 does not protrude from the surface of the dashboard 14. The upper part of 9 often protrudes from the surface of the dashboard 14. At this time, the first engagement portion 7 is located at the end portion of the vertical guide 4, and the second engagement portion 11 is located at the end portion of the vertical guide 6. Further, the display unit 9 at this time is in a vertical state perpendicular to the sliding direction of the horizontal sliding body 8 so that the back surface covers the front of the device body 2.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, when the first engaging portion 7 moves from the end portion of the horizontal guide 4 to the end portion along the vertical direction changing guide 12, it slides in the horizontal direction. The moving body 8 is displaced upward while moving backward (to the left in FIG. 8). At the same time, the second engaging portion 11 moves from the end portion of the vertical direction guide 6 to the end portion along the horizontal direction changing guide 13. As a result, the display unit 9 is rotated about the connecting unit 10 as a fulcrum (clockwise in FIG. 8), and the display unit 9 is gradually inclined downward from the upright state to take an inclined state.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, when the first engaging portion 7 moves forward (to the right in FIG. 9) along the horizontal guide 4, the horizontal sliding body 8 moves forward of the device main body 2. The second engaging portion 11 moves downward along the vertical guide 6 to its lowest end. As a result, the lower portion of the display unit 9 is pulled forward by the horizontal sliding body 8, and the upper portion is lowered so as to fall backward (counterclockwise in FIG. 9) with the connecting portion 10 as a fulcrum. And the front surface of the device body 2 is opened. When the display unit 9 moves in this manner, the front surface of the in-vehicle display device 1 is opened to expose the operation unit and the disk insertion unit of the optical disk drive, so that the optical disk can be mounted and taken out. The in-vehicle display device 1 can set a new function by taking in data recorded on the optical disc.

  The horizontal sliding body 8 is driven by the driving unit 15, thereby adjusting the inclination of the display unit 9.

  The drive unit 15 includes a motor 150 as a drive source, a gear mechanism 151 that transmits the rotation speed of the motor 150, a pinion 152 that meshes with the gear mechanism 151, and a pinion formed on the horizontal sliding body 8. And a rack 153 that meshes with 152. The pinion 152 has a height that does not depart from the meshing state even if the position of the rack 152 is displaced by the vertical movement of the horizontal sliding body 8. When the motor 150 rotates, the rack 152 moves through the gear mechanism 151 and the pinion 152, and as a result, the horizontal sliding body 8 moves.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the motor 150 of the drive unit 15 is controlled by the control unit 16. The control unit 16 selectively sets the control circuit 160, the detection unit 161 that detects the position of the horizontal sliding body 8, and the state of the display unit 9, that is, the upright state, the tilt state, and the horizontal state. It is comprised from the operation input part 162 which performs these operation inputs.

  The detection of the position of the horizontal sliding body 8 by the detector 161 is performed by a proximity sensor (not shown) that is turned on / off depending on the position of the horizontal sliding body 8, for example. That is, when the position of the horizontal sliding body 8 when the display unit 9 is in the upright state is the first position, the detection unit 161 detects the first position and sends the detection output to the control circuit 160. To do. Similarly, when the display unit 9 is in the tilted state at the second position and the horizontal state is at the third position, the detecting unit 161 detects the position of the horizontal sliding body 8 and detects corresponding to these positions. The output is sent to the control circuit 160. The operation input unit 162 performs setting input when the user appropriately selects and sets the state of the display unit 9, that is, the upright state, the tilt state, and the horizontal state. Specifically, for example, when it is not necessary to change the angle in the tilted state according to the tilted state of the dashboard 14 of the user's vehicle or to move the display unit 9 in an upright state or a tilted state It is set so as not to be in these states.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the vehicle-mounted display device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention described above has the display unit 9 on the front surface without providing a gap between the vehicle-mounted display device 1 and the opening 140 of the dashboard 14. In an upright state, the lower portion of the display unit 9 is not projected on the surface of the dashboard 14, and the upper portion of the display unit 9 is projected on the surface of the dashboard 14. The display unit 9 displays the video supplied from the device main body 2 and can be viewed by the user.

  When the horizontal sliding body 8 moves to the second position, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the first engaging portion 7 smoothly moves along the inclined vertical direction changing guide 12. The horizontal sliding member 8 moves backward (to the left in FIG. 8) while being displaced upward. At the same time, the second engaging portion 11 is guided along the horizontal direction changing guide 13 and moves to the end thereof, so that the display portion 9 is moved forward at the upper portion and pulled downward at the lower portion. Therefore, it rotates so that it may fall forward using the connection part 10 as a fulcrum.

  At this time, since the display unit 9 is rotated while the lower end is raised, the lower end of the display unit 9 does not protrude from the lower surface extension line of the device body 2. That is, the lower end of the display unit 9 does not hit the edge of the opening 140 of the dashboard 14. Further, the upper end of the display unit 9 is rotated while being raised, but the upper part of the display unit 9 protrudes from the dashboard 14 and therefore does not hit the edge of the opening 140.

  In this way, the display unit 9 can be rotated to a state where it can be easily seen downward without providing a gap with the dashboard 14. In order to prevent the display unit 9 from hitting the dashboard 14 more reliably, it is more preferable to chamfer the rear of the upper surface of the display unit 9 and the front of the lower surface.

  Further, when the front surface of the device body 2 is opened, as shown in FIG. 9, the control circuit 160 activates the drive unit 15 by the user's operation to move the horizontal sliding body 8 greatly forward in the horizontal direction. . The moving position of the horizontal sliding body 8 is detected by the detection unit 161 and sent to the control circuit 160. When it is detected that the horizontal sliding body 8 is in the third position, the control circuit 160 is driven. The driving operation of the section 15 is stopped, and the horizontal sliding body 8 is stopped at this third position.

  After the display unit 9 is moved to the third position and the operation of taking out and loading the optical disk is completed, the user selects and sets the upright state or the tilt state in the operation input unit 163. The driving unit 15 is controlled so that the horizontal sliding body 8 is positioned at the first position or the second position, and an image or the like is displayed on the display screen of the display unit 9 for viewing.

  The rack 153 is positioned relatively downward when the horizontal sliding body 8 is in the first position or the third position, and is relatively positioned when the horizontal sliding body 8 is in the second position. Although the pinion 152 has a required height in the direction of the rotation axis so that the rack 153 can cope with the vertical movement of the rack 153, the meshing state of the rack 153 and the pinion 152 deviates. Never do. That is, by forming the horizontal sliding body 8 from a plate-like material that can be easily processed, the rack 153 has a thin plate shape, but the pinion 152 has a sufficient width (height). Even if the rack is displaced up and down, it is possible to prevent the meshing from deviating.

  Even if the user tries to forcibly rotate the display unit 7 in the upright state, the tilted state, and the horizontal state by manual operation, the horizontal direction sliding body 8 is connected via the gear mechanism 151 that reduces the rotational force. It cannot be moved because it is coupled to the motor 150. Therefore, the position of the display unit 7 is firmly held.

  As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the display unit 9 is tilted downward, the first engaging unit 7 is guided in the vertical direction along the vertical direction changing guide 12. When the direction sliding body 8 moves upward, the connecting portion 10 is moved upward, and the display portion 7 is displaced upward. At the same time, at the upper end of the display unit 9, the second engaging unit 11 is guided in the horizontal direction along the horizontal direction changing guide 13, and the display unit 9 is inclined downward. Thereby, in the tilted state, the lower end portion of the display unit 9 can be prevented from projecting downward from the extended line on the lower surface of the device main body 2, so that the opening portion 140 of the display unit 9 and the dashboard 14 can be eliminated. There is no need to provide a gap between them.

  Here, in the above-described embodiment, the upper end of the display unit 9 is protruded from the device main body 2 by moving the second engagement unit 11 in the horizontal direction along the horizontal direction change guide 13, and the display unit 9 is inclined downward, but the horizontal direction changing guide 13 is omitted, and the vertical direction guide 4 is slightly extended upward so that the second engaging portion 11 is guided by the extended portion. It may be a thing. In this case, the first engaging portion 7 is moved rearward and vertically by the vertical direction changing guide 12, the horizontal sliding body 8 is moved upward, and the connecting portion 10 is moved upward and backward. At this time, when the second engaging portion 11 is guided upward along the extended portion of the vertical guide 4, the upper end of the display portion 9 can move upward, and the display portion 9 It inclines downward with the second engaging portion 11 as a fulcrum. Therefore, in this case as well, the lower edge of the display unit 9 does not protrude downward from the extension line on the lower surface of the chassis of the device body 2 in the inclined state in which the display unit 9 is inclined downward.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the display unit 7 is moved to the upright state, the tilted state, and the horizontal state by moving the horizontal sliding body 8 by the driving unit 15 including the motor 150 and the like. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the display unit 9 or the horizontal sliding member 8 may be directly moved manually without providing the driving unit 15.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the angle of the tilted state of the display unit 7 is one, but the present invention is not limited to this and may be set in plural or continuously.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the in-vehicle display device 1 in which the optical disc drive is built in the device main body 2 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the device main body 2 is used for a memory card. In addition to being applicable to the in-vehicle display device 1 with a built-in writing / reading device that allows the memory card to be taken out and attached from the front surface of the device body 2, the front surface is opened and various operations are performed. Can do.
