Description

車両後方から側面まで連続的に確認できる自動車用ルームミラーに関する。   The present invention relates to an automobile rearview mirror that can be continuously confirmed from the rear to the side of a vehicle.

車両後方や側面部分を確認するため、運転席上方にはルームミラーが、車両の外側左右にはサイドミラーが設置され、車両周辺の状況を確認できるようになっている。   In order to check the rear and side portions of the vehicle, a rearview mirror is installed above the driver's seat and side mirrors are installed on the left and right sides of the vehicle so that the situation around the vehicle can be checked.

運転席上方に設置されているルームミラーで、最も多く利用されているのが平面鏡のルームミラーである。この平面鏡のルームミラーは、後続車両との車間距離は視覚どおり、目視による距離感と同じように確認できるが、視野が狭いのが欠点となっている。   Of the room mirrors installed above the driver's seat, the most frequently used is the flat mirror room mirror. The room mirror of this plane mirror can confirm the distance between the following vehicles and the following vehicle in the same way as visually, but it has a drawback that the field of view is narrow.

視野を広げるため、平面鏡のワイド型のルームミラーが提供されているが、車両後方の視野が若干広がる程度である。   In order to widen the field of view, a wide-view room mirror of a plane mirror is provided, but the field of view behind the vehicle is only slightly expanded.

凸面鏡を利用したルームミラーも提供されている。これは、車両後方の視野は広がるが、後続車両との車間距離は、目視による距離感より遠くに、小さく見えるという欠点がある。   A room mirror using a convex mirror is also provided. This has the disadvantage that although the field of view behind the vehicle is widened, the distance between the following vehicle and the following vehicle appears to be smaller than the visual sense of distance.

この凸面鏡を利用したルームミラーも、ワイド型のものが提供されているが、車両後方の視野はさらに広がるものの、後続車両との車間距離は、目視による距離感より遠くに、小さく見えるという欠点は同じである。   Although a wide mirror is also available using this convex mirror, although the field of view behind the vehicle further expands, the distance between the following vehicles and the following vehicle is far less than the sense of distance visually, and the drawback is that it looks small. The same.

平面鏡のルームミラーは、新車として提供される場合、ほぼ標準装備となっている。
一方、前述の、平面鏡のワイド型のルームミラー、凸面鏡を利用したルームミラー、及び、凸面鏡を利用したワイド型のルームミラーは、通常、単品のカー用品として提供され、標準装備の平面鏡のルームミラーの上に重ねて装着するようになっている。
Planar mirror room mirrors are almost standard equipment when offered as new cars.
On the other hand, the above-described wide mirror room mirrors, mirrors using convex mirrors, and wide mirrors using convex mirrors are usually provided as single-piece car supplies, and are standard mirror mirrors provided as standard equipment. It is designed to be mounted on top of the other.

自動車運転における大きな問題は、運転席の反対側の側面後方に、運転者から直接見えない死角となる部分が生じることである。
具体的には、右ハンドルの場合、車両の左側面後方に、左ハンドルの場合、同じく右側面後方に、運転者から直接見えない部分がある。
A major problem in driving a car is that there is a blind spot behind the side opposite the driver's seat that is not directly visible to the driver.
Specifically, in the case of the right steering wheel, there is a portion that cannot be directly seen by the driver on the rear side of the left side of the vehicle and in the case of the left steering wheel, the rear side of the right side.

車両の外側左右に設置されているサイドミラーで、車両の左右側面、及びその後方を確認できるようになっている。このサイドミラーの鏡面は凸面鏡が使用されており、目視で確認する場合と比べて小さく見えるが、逆に視野は広がることから、車両周辺の状況確認には都合がよい。   Side mirrors installed on the left and right sides of the vehicle allow the left and right sides of the vehicle and the rear thereof to be confirmed. A convex mirror is used as the mirror surface of the side mirror, which looks smaller than when visually confirmed, but conversely the field of view is widened, which is convenient for confirming the situation around the vehicle.

そこで、車両後方や側面の状況を、より円滑に確認できるよう、ルームミラーやサイドミラーについてはいろいろと考案され、また商品として提供されている。   Therefore, various kinds of rearview mirrors and side mirrors have been devised and provided as products so that the situation of the rear and side surfaces of the vehicle can be confirmed more smoothly.

ルームミラーで、最も多く利用されているのが平面鏡のルームミラーで、新車として提供される場合、ほぼ標準装備となっている。さらに、視野の拡大や利便性を求め、平面鏡のワイド型や凸面鏡を利用したもの、さらには、凸面鏡のワイド型と多岐に亘ったルームミラーが提供されている。
しかし、平面鏡のルームミラーをはじめ、多岐に亘るこれらのルームミラーも、前述のとおり一長一短があり、また、課題も多くかかえている。
The most popular room mirror is a plane mirror room mirror, which is almost standard equipment when it is offered as a new car. Furthermore, in order to increase the field of view and convenience, a wide variety of room mirrors are available, such as those using a wide type of convex mirror or a convex mirror, and a wide type of convex mirror.
However, a wide variety of room mirrors including a plane mirror room mirror have advantages and disadvantages as described above, and have many problems.

本発明は、これらの課題の解決に向け、平面鏡部分と、その一端となる運転席の反対側に位置する凸面部分の鏡面、すなわち、円柱の一部となる円柱状に湾曲する鏡面が、連続的、かつ滑らかに一体化なる鏡面を形成することから、車両後方から側面まで連続的に確認できるとともに、平面鏡部分で見る後続車両との車間距離は視覚どおり、目視による距離感と同じように確認でき、また、湾曲する鏡面で見る車両後方から側面までの見え方は、横方向が細く見える分、見える範囲は広くなり、歪みも最小限に抑えたルームミラーを得ることを目的としている。   In the present invention, in order to solve these problems, a plane mirror portion and a mirror surface of a convex portion located on the opposite side of the driver's seat which is one end thereof, that is, a mirror surface curved in a columnar shape which is a part of a cylinder, are continuously formed. Since the mirror surface is integrated smoothly and smoothly, it can be confirmed continuously from the rear to the side of the vehicle, and the distance between the following vehicles viewed on the plane mirror is confirmed as visually as the distance sensed visually. In addition, the view from the rear to the side of the vehicle seen from the curved mirror surface is intended to obtain a rearview mirror with a wide viewable range and a minimal distortion as the lateral direction appears narrower.

本発明のルームミラーで、連続的に確認できる範囲は、車両後方から、運転席の反対 側に位置するサイドミラー付近(111と121で示した範囲)まで、欠けた部分も二重になる部分もなく、連続したすべての範囲を瞬時に確認できる。
これにより、運転者から直接見えない死角となる部分への対応も、本発明のルームミラーと、サイドミラーを併用することで、素早く確認することができる。
In the rearview mirror of the present invention, the range that can be confirmed continuously is the portion where the missing part is doubled from the rear of the vehicle to the vicinity of the side mirror located on the opposite side of the driver's seat (the range indicated by 111 and 121) And you can instantly see all the continuous ranges.
Thereby, the correspondence to the part which becomes a blind spot which cannot be directly seen from the driver can be quickly confirmed by using the rear mirror of the present invention and the side mirror together.

さらに、このルームミラーの構造は簡単であることから、製作も容易である。   Furthermore, since the structure of this room mirror is simple, it is easy to manufacture.

先述(0011)のように、先願(特許文献1~3)や、企業のホームページ(非特許文献1)では、平面鏡と凸面鏡を組み合わせたものや、ルームミラーをメインミラーとサブミラーに分割する方法等が紹介されている。   As described above (0011), in prior applications (Patent Documents 1 to 3) and company homepages (Non-Patent Document 1), a combination of a plane mirror and a convex mirror, or a method of dividing a room mirror into a main mirror and a sub mirror Etc. are introduced.

特許文献1では、平面鏡と凸面鏡を組み合わせたもので、中央部の平面鏡と左右または片方の凸面鏡が一体化されている。この凸面鏡部分では、横方向、縦方向とも目視による距離感より遠く、小さく見えることから、本発明の、連続的、かつ滑らかに一体化なる鏡面を形成することにはならず、また、平面鏡との境界部分に歪みが生じることが考えられることから、本発明とは異なるものである。     In Patent Document 1, a plane mirror and a convex mirror are combined, and the central plane mirror and the left or right or one convex mirror are integrated. In this convex mirror part, both the horizontal direction and the vertical direction look farther and smaller than the distance sensed by visual observation, so that the continuous and smoothly integrated mirror surface of the present invention is not formed. This is different from the present invention because it is considered that distortion occurs in the boundary portion of the.

特許文献2では、第1の実施例として、平面鏡のルームミラーの上に凸面鏡のルームミラーを装着させ、必要な時に、この凸面鏡のルームミラーを上方へ回転させることで、下にあった平面鏡のルームミラーが現れるというものである。
第2の実施例では、平面鏡と凸面鏡を組み合わせたもので、凸面鏡部分は、横方向にも、縦方向にも湾曲していることから、平面鏡との境界部分に歪みが生じることが考えられる。また、連続的、かつ滑らかに一体化なる鏡面とはならない。
第3の実施例では、平面鏡のバックミラーと、凸面鏡のバックミラーが、隣接して一つの枠の中に収められていることから、連続的、かつ滑らかに一体化なる鏡面とはならず、また、両ミラー間に欠けた部分や、重複する部分が生じることも考えられる。
以上のことから、特許文献2においては、それぞれの実施例とも、本発明とは異なるものである。
In Patent Document 2, as a first example, a convex mirror room mirror is mounted on a plane mirror room mirror, and when necessary, the convex mirror room mirror is rotated upward, so that A room mirror appears.
In the second embodiment, a plane mirror and a convex mirror are combined, and the convex mirror portion is curved both in the horizontal direction and in the vertical direction. Therefore, it is considered that the boundary portion with the plane mirror is distorted. Moreover, it does not become a mirror surface that is continuously and smoothly integrated.
In the third embodiment, since the back mirror of the plane mirror and the back mirror of the convex mirror are housed in one frame adjacent to each other, the mirror surface is not continuously and smoothly integrated, It is also conceivable that a missing part or an overlapping part occurs between the mirrors.
From the above, in Patent Document 2, each example is different from the present invention.

特許文献3では、ルームミラー、ドアミラーの周辺部鏡面の外方向曲率を連続的に緩やかに凸に変化させて、水平方向、垂直方向とも視野を広げようというものである。
このため、このルームミラーは、一個の凸面鏡のようになり、連続的、かつ滑らかな鏡面とは言えず、また歪みが生じることが考えられ、本発明とは異なるものである。
In Patent Document 3, the outward curvature of the peripheral mirror surface of the room mirror and the door mirror is continuously and gradually changed to be convex so as to widen the field of view both in the horizontal direction and in the vertical direction.
For this reason, this room mirror looks like a single convex mirror and cannot be said to be a continuous and smooth mirror surface, and it is considered that distortion occurs, which is different from the present invention.

非特許文献1の、メインミラーとサブミラーに分割する方法は、向きが異なる2枚の鏡面を用いていることから、両方の鏡面を確認する必要がある。また、分割された鏡面の向きが異なっているため、2枚の鏡面の間には、見えない部分、欠けた部分が生じることが考えられる。   Since the method of dividing the main mirror and the sub mirror in Non-Patent Document 1 uses two mirror surfaces having different directions, it is necessary to check both mirror surfaces. Moreover, since the directions of the divided mirror surfaces are different, it is conceivable that an invisible portion or a missing portion is generated between the two mirror surfaces.

以上のことから、先願(特許文献1~3)や、企業のホームページ(非特許文献1)
で紹介された考案は、「発明が解決しようとする課題」とは程遠いものであり、すべて、本発明と異なるものであることは明白である。
From the above, prior applications (Patent Documents 1 to 3) and corporate websites (Non-Patent Document 1)
It is obvious that the devices introduced in the above are far from the “problem to be solved by the invention” and are all different from the present invention.

本発明の、自動車用ルームミラーにおいては、本発明が課題の解決に向けた目的(
0013)を達成するために、平面鏡部分と、その一端となる運転席の反対側に位置
する凸面部分の鏡面、すなわち、円柱の一部となる円柱状に湾曲する鏡面が、連続的、かつ滑らかに一体化なる鏡面を形成するものである。
In the automotive rearview mirror of the present invention, the present invention aims to solve the problems (
In order to achieve the above, a plane mirror portion and a mirror surface of a convex portion located on the opposite side of the driver's seat at one end thereof, that is, a mirror surface curved in a columnar shape as a part of a cylinder, are continuous and smooth. To form a mirror surface that is integrated with each other.

この円柱の一部となる円柱状に湾曲するという形態は、その断面が円形の一部(図2参照)で構成するが、車両の種類や構造、大きさ等により、円形の外にも、放物線や楕円形等の一部とすることもできる。   The form of being curved into a cylindrical shape that is a part of this cylinder is configured with a circular part (see FIG. 2), but depending on the type, structure, size, etc. of the vehicle, It can also be a part of a parabola or an ellipse.

この、自動車用ルームミラーは、平面鏡部分で見る後続車両との車間距離は視覚どおり、目視による距離感と同じように確認でき、凸面部分の鏡面では、車両後方から運転席の反対側に位置するサイドミラー付近まで視野が広がる。ただ、見え方としては、平面鏡部分での見え方(211)と異なり、凸面部分の鏡面では、縦方向は目視のとおり確認できるが、横方向は広角となることから細く見える(212)こととなる。
なお、平面鏡部分と凸面部分の鏡面との境界に、視野の障害にならない程度に境界線(14)を入れることで、見えているところが平面鏡部分で見えているか、凸面部分の鏡面で見えているかを一目で確認できるようにする。
This vehicle rearview mirror can be confirmed in the same way as the distance between the vehicle and the following vehicle seen in the plane mirror as visually, and is located on the opposite side of the driver's seat from the rear of the vehicle on the mirror of the convex part. The field of view extends to the vicinity of the side mirror. However, as to how it looks, unlike the way it looks in the plane mirror part (211), in the mirror part of the convex surface part, the vertical direction can be confirmed as seen visually, but the lateral direction becomes wide-angle (212). Become.
If the boundary line (14) is inserted at the boundary between the plane mirror part and the mirror part of the convex part so as not to obstruct the field of view, the visible part is visible in the plane mirror part or the convex part of the mirror surface. Can be confirmed at a glance.

本発明の自動車用ルームミラーは、平面鏡部分と、その一端となる運転席の反対側に位置する凸面部分の鏡面が、連続的かつ滑らかに一体化なる鏡面を形成することから、車両後方から運転席の反対側に位置するサイドミラー付近まで連続したすべての範囲を、本ルームミラーの鏡面を通して瞬時に確認することができる。   The vehicle rearview mirror of the present invention is driven from the rear of the vehicle because the mirror surface of the flat mirror portion and the convex surface portion located on the opposite side of the driver's seat which is one end of the mirror mirror form a continuous and smoothly integrated mirror surface. The entire continuous range up to near the side mirror located on the opposite side of the seat can be confirmed instantly through the mirror surface of this room mirror.

個別の鏡面で説明すると、まず、平面鏡部分では、車両後方の左右両ピラー間(111)が確認できるが、後続車両との車間距離は、目視による距離感と同じように確認でき、また、凸面部分の鏡面では、運転席の反対側となるサイドミラー付近から、車両後方のピラー付近まで(121)確認できることとなる。
なお、凸面部分の鏡面では、縦方向は目視の通りに見えるが、横方向は広角となり、細く見える(212)こととなる。しかし、車両周辺を確認するには支障はなく、特に問題はない。
In terms of individual mirror surfaces, first, in the plane mirror part, the distance between the left and right pillars (111) at the rear of the vehicle can be confirmed, but the distance between the following vehicles can be confirmed in the same way as the visual sense of distance. In the partial mirror surface, it can be confirmed (121) from the vicinity of the side mirror on the opposite side of the driver's seat to the vicinity of the pillar behind the vehicle.
In the mirror surface of the convex surface portion, the vertical direction looks as seen, but the horizontal direction has a wide angle and looks thin (212). However, there is no problem in checking the periphery of the vehicle, and there is no particular problem.

運転席の反対側の側面後方に、運転者から直接見えない死角となる部分があるが、この凸面部分の鏡面を通して確認することができる。
そこで、本発明の自動車用ルームミラーと、サイドミラーとを併用することで、死角となる車両周辺を素早く、また、より確実に視認することができ、自動車の右左折や車線変更に際し、安全運転、事故防止に寄与することが期待できる。
There is a blind spot behind the side opposite the driver's seat that is not visible directly to the driver, but it can be confirmed through the mirror of this convex part.
Therefore, by using the vehicle rearview mirror of the present invention and the side mirror in combination, it is possible to quickly and more surely see the vicinity of the vehicle that is a blind spot. It can be expected to contribute to accident prevention.

本発明の自動車用ルームミラーは、平面鏡部分と、その一端となる運転席の反対側に位置する凸面部分の鏡面、すなわち、円柱の一部となる円柱状に湾曲する鏡面が、連続的、かつ滑らかに一体化なる鏡面で構成する。   The automotive rear mirror of the present invention has a plane mirror portion and a mirror surface of a convex portion located on the opposite side of the driver's seat that is one end thereof, that is, a mirror surface that is curved in a columnar shape that is a part of a cylinder, and It consists of a mirror surface that integrates smoothly.

円柱の一部となる円柱状に湾曲する鏡面の形態は、その横断面が円形の一部で構成されることから(図2参照)、円の半径(16、26)によって円形の大きさが変わる。
そこで、円形が小さくなれば、円柱状に湾曲する鏡面の曲率は大きくなり、広角となることから、横方向の見える範囲は広くなるが、見え方も細くなる。また、円形が大きくなれば、曲率は小さくなり、横方向の見え方も目視に近くなる。
このため、車両の種類や構造、大きさ等によって確認しやすい曲率とすることができる。また、前述(0023)のとおり、放物線や、楕円形の一部とする方法もある。
The shape of the mirror surface that is curved in a columnar shape, which is a part of a cylinder, is composed of a part of a circular cross section (see FIG. 2), and therefore the size of the circle depends on the radius (16, 26) of the circle. change.
Therefore, if the circular shape becomes small, the curvature of the mirror-curved mirror surface increases and becomes a wide angle, so that the visible range in the lateral direction becomes wide, but the visual appearance becomes narrow. In addition, as the circle becomes larger, the curvature becomes smaller and the lateral appearance becomes closer to visual observation.
For this reason, it can be set as the curvature which is easy to confirm with the kind, structure, size, etc. of a vehicle. In addition, as described above (0023), there is a method of using a parabola or a part of an ellipse.

本発明の、自動車用ルームミラーを車両に装着したあと、運転者の体形等に合わせ、最も見やすい位置、角度に調整を行えるようにする。   After the vehicle rearview mirror of the present invention is mounted on a vehicle, the position and angle that are most easily seen can be adjusted according to the body shape of the driver.

以下の実施例では、運転席が右側、すなわち右ハンドルの場合を示している。なお、運転席が左側、すなわち左ハンドルの場合は逆となる。   In the following embodiment, the case where the driver's seat is on the right side, that is, the right steering wheel is shown. The reverse is true when the driver's seat is on the left side, that is, the left steering wheel.

自動車用ルームミラーとなる素材を、その一端となる左側部分を外側に、連続的、かつ滑らかに、円柱の一部となる円柱状に湾曲し、一体化する。   A material for an automobile rearview mirror is continuously and smoothly bent into a cylindrical shape that becomes a part of a circular cylinder, and the left side part that is one end thereof is bent and integrated.

これを鑑面として加工し、平面鏡部分とその一端となる凸面部分の鏡面の境界部分に、視野の障害にならない程度に境界線(14)を入れる。   This is processed as an inspection surface, and a boundary line (14) is inserted in the boundary portion between the mirror surface of the plane mirror portion and the convex portion serving as one end thereof to the extent that the visual field is not obstructed.

自動車用ルームミラーとしての部品などを取り付けて完成、車両へ装着する。装着方法として、標準装備として装着する方法と、すでに標準装備されているルームミラーの上に装着する方法がある。   Completed by installing parts such as automobile rearview mirrors, and installed in the vehicle. As a mounting method, there are a method of mounting as a standard equipment and a method of mounting on a room mirror that is already standard equipment.

標準装備として装着する場合、従来のルームミラー同様、このルームミラーの本体を上下左右に移動させ、最も見やすい位置に固定することができるようにする。また、標準装備された自動車に使用する場合、標準装備されたルームミラーの上に、このルームミラーを装着し、元のルームミラーの本体を上下左右に移動させることにより、最も見やすい位置に調整する。   When mounted as standard equipment, the body of the room mirror is moved up, down, left and right like the conventional room mirror so that it can be fixed at the most visible position. In addition, when used in a car equipped as a standard equipment, this room mirror is mounted on the standard room mirror, and the body of the original room mirror is moved up, down, left, and right to adjust it to the most visible position. .

平面鏡部分と、その一端となる運転席の反対側に位置する凸面部分の鏡面を、それぞれ製作し、それを接合し、連続的かつ滑らかに一体化させる。   The mirror surface of the flat mirror portion and the convex surface portion located on the opposite side of the driver's seat, which is one end of the flat mirror portion, are manufactured, joined, and integrated continuously and smoothly.

このほかの実施方法は、実施例1に準じる。   Other implementation methods are the same as in Example 1.

本発明の、自動車用ルームミラーは、自動車運転に係る、安全運転、事故防止に大きく寄与できると期待している。
そこで、新車に標準装備として装着する方法と、現に走行している自動車には、単品のカー用品として提供する方法で推進を図りたい。
The vehicle rearview mirror of the present invention is expected to greatly contribute to safe driving and accident prevention related to driving a car.
Therefore, we would like to promote it by installing it as standard equipment in new cars and providing it as a single car accessory for cars that are currently running.
