Description

  The present invention relates to an elastic sheet incorporated in a panel unit for the purpose of shielding and waterproofing interior parts included in the vehicle panel unit, and a panel unit including the elastic sheet.

  A panel unit is disposed in the interior of an automobile for the purpose of switch operation and various displays. The panel unit generally includes a main body panel facing a passenger compartment or the like, and a circuit board disposed on the back side of the main body panel. On the circuit board, a switch for receiving an operation or a light source for display (for example, an LED) ) Is installed.

  As such a panel unit, further, shading of interior parts on the circuit board (preventing diffusion of light from the light source when the interior part is a light source) and waterproofing (from moisture entering from the outside of the panel unit). Some have an elastic sheet for the purpose of protection. The elastic sheet is formed into a sheet shape from an elastic material such as rubber and is disposed on the surface of the circuit board. On the other hand, a waterproof wall or a light shielding wall having a shape surrounding the interior part is formed on the back side of the main body panel, and the end face of the wall is in close contact with the wall to seal the interior part. Achieve.

  As an example, the structure of a display device disclosed in Patent Document 1 shown below is shown in FIGS. This display device is a panel unit used as, for example, an instrument panel of an automobile, and includes a main body panel 110 facing the vehicle interior, a circuit board 112 disposed on the back side thereof, and the circuit board 112 from the back side. A rear cover 114 attached to the main body panel 110 and an elastic sheet 130 are provided so as to cover.

  The main body panel 110 incorporates a plurality of indicator lenses 122 to be illuminated. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10, a plurality of illumination light sources 124 are disposed on the front side surface (surface on the main body panel 110 side) of the circuit board 112. These illumination light sources 124 are provided at positions corresponding to the indicator lenses 122 and adjacent to each other.

  In order to prevent the lights of the illumination light source 124 from intermingling, a plurality of isolation walls 126 are provided on the back surface on the main body panel 10 side. Each of the isolation walls 126 is formed at a position corresponding to each of the indicator lenses 122, has a cylindrical shape that individually surrounds the corresponding illumination light source 124, and is rearward from the back surface of the main body panel 110 (that is, the circuit board).

  The display device (panel unit) shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 has a disadvantage that it is difficult to assemble the elastic sheet 130. Specifically, the assembly operation of the display device is generally performed by fixing the elastic sheet 130 to the back side portion of the main body panel 110 and, after positioning, the circuit board 112 and the rear cover 114 from the back side of the elastic sheet 130. The elastic sheet 130 is fixed by, for example, fitting a holding protrusion formed on the back surface of the main body panel 110 into a hole to be held provided in the elastic sheet 130. However, since the elastic sheet 130 is soft and does not have a stable shape and has a property that it is difficult to slip with respect to the back surface of the main body panel 110, the back surface of the main body panel 110 is held while holding the elastic sheet 130 with, for example, a finger. It is difficult to position in the upper position.

  In addition, when a foreign substance such as dust adheres to the elastic sheet 130 as it is gripped by the finger, the foreign substance is interposed between the elastic sheet 130 and the main body panel 110 or the circuit board 112, so that the adhesiveness of the elastic sheet 130 is increased. May be reduced.

  In view of such circumstances, the present invention can be easily assembled between the main body panel constituting the panel unit and the circuit board, and foreign matter is mixed in the panel unit during the assembly. It is an object of the present invention to provide an elastic sheet capable of effectively suppressing the above and a panel unit including the elastic sheet.

  As means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a vehicle panel unit comprising a main body panel and a circuit board that is disposed on the back side of the main body panel and in which interior parts are mounted on the surface of the main body panel. An elastic sheet disposed between the main body panel and the circuit board in the vicinity of the interior part, the main body having a shape disposed on the surface of the circuit board; A first handle portion projecting outward from the peripheral edge of the main body portion in a first projecting direction; and a first handle portion projecting outward from the peripheral edge of the main body portion in a second projecting direction different from the first projecting direction. The main body part, the first handle part, and the second handle part are integrally formed in a sheet shape with an elastic material.

  Further, the present invention is a panel unit provided in a vehicle, comprising a main body panel, a circuit board disposed on the back side of the main body panel, on which interior parts are mounted on the surface of the main body panel, and the elastic sheet. And the elastic sheet is sandwiched between the main body panel and the circuit board in the vicinity of the interior part.

  According to the elastic sheet and the panel unit including the elastic sheet, the operator holds the first handle and the second handle protruding from the main body of the elastic sheet in different directions with the left and right fingers. The main body portion of the elastic sheet can be easily positioned at an appropriate position corresponding to the circuit board. Further, the difference in the position and the protruding direction of the first handle part and the second handle part makes a difference between the shape of the elastic sheet viewed from the front side and the shape viewed from the back side, and thereby the front and back of the elastic sheet. To make the distinction easier.

  In particular, if the first projecting direction, which is the projecting direction of the first handle part, and the second projecting direction, which is the projecting direction of the second handle part, are orthogonal to each other, The holding state can be further stabilized, the whole can be held in a more stable state, and the front and back of the elastic sheet can be further easily distinguished.

  The elastic sheet can be fitted with a first positioning protrusion and a second positioning protrusion protruding from the main body panel to the back side thereof, and the insertion determines the relative position of the elastic sheet with respect to the panel main body. Each of the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole penetrates the first handle portion and the second handle portion in the thickness direction, and the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole respectively. More preferably, at least a part of the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole are provided so as to be positioned in the first handle portion and the second handle portion, respectively. The first positioning hole and the second positioning hole are formed in the first handle portion and the second handle portion (that is, the portion gripped by a finger or the like), respectively. The positioning projecting portion is easily inserted, and this insertion facilitates and ensures the positioning of the elastic sheet with respect to the panel body.

  In particular, when at least one of the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole is a long hole extending in a specific direction with a dimension larger than the outer diameter of the positioning protrusion inserted into the positioning hole, The positioning protrusions can be easily fitted into both the positioning holes. Specifically, first, positioning is performed in one direction by fitting a corresponding positioning protrusion into one positioning hole, which is a long hole, and then the positioning protrusion in the long hole. It is only necessary to fit the other positioning protrusion into the other positioning hole while relatively sliding them.

  Further, in the vehicle panel unit, the first positioning hole is a long hole extending in the first longitudinal direction with a size larger than an outer diameter of the first positioning protrusion, and the second positioning hole Is a slot that is larger than the outer diameter of the second positioning projection and extends in the second longitudinal direction perpendicular to the first longitudinal direction, from any positioning hole to the positioning projection Even when fitting is started, the positioning protrusions are easily fitted into the positioning holes on both sides.

  In the vehicle panel unit according to the present invention, preferably, the main body panel includes a side wall having a shape surrounding the circuit board, and the first handle portion and the second handle portion of the elastic sheet are respectively formed from the side wall. It has a shape that protrudes outside thereof, and the side wall is formed with a notch at a position corresponding to each of the first handle portion and the second handle portion, and these notches are formed from the back side of the main body panel with respect to the notch. It is preferable that the first handle portion and the second handle portion have a shape opened to the back side of the main body panel so as to allow the first handle portion and the second handle portion to be inserted.

  In this panel unit, the side wall effectively protects the circuit board from the outside, while the first handle portion and the second handle portion of the elastic sheet are inserted into the notch on the side wall side while being held by a finger or the like. An elastic sheet can be assembled to the panel body. In other words, the cutout formed in the side wall allows the insertion of each handle portion into the cutout, thereby allowing the elastic sheet to be placed in the main body while avoiding interference between a finger or the like holding the handle portion and the side wall. Enables positioning to the back side of the panel.

  As described above, the present invention can be easily assembled between the main body panel constituting the panel unit and the circuit board, and foreign substances are mixed in the panel unit during the assembly. It is possible to provide an elastic sheet that can be effectively suppressed, and a panel unit including the elastic sheet.

  A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The panel unit according to this embodiment constitutes a part of an instrument panel of an automobile, for example, and includes a main body panel 10 and an elastic sheet 30 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and a circuit board shown in FIG. 20 and a rear cover 40 shown in FIG.

  The main body panel 10 includes an outer panel 10A and an inner panel 10B disposed on the back side of the outer panel 10A. 10 A of said outer panels have integrally the main body wall 11 which faces a vehicle interior, and the side wall 12 which protrudes in a back side over the perimeter from the back surface of the peripheral part of this main body wall. The inner panel 10B is assembled from the back side into the space surrounded by the side wall 12 with respect to the outer panel 10A, and is fixed to the outer panel 10A using a fixing screw 13 or the like.

  The “main body panel” according to the present invention is not limited to one divided into the outer panel 10A and the inner panel 10B like the main body panel 10 according to this embodiment. It may be.

  The circuit board 20 shown in FIG. 3 is disposed on the back side of the main body panel 10, and a dial 22 that receives a rotation operation is provided on the front side surface of the circuit board 20 (that is, the surface on the main body panel 10 side). A plurality of push switches 24 and a plurality of illumination light sources (for example, LEDs) 26 are mounted. On the other hand, on the main body panel 10 side, a through hole 14 having a shape corresponding to the dial 22 as shown in FIG. 3 and a push switch 24 for pressing the press switch 24 as shown in FIG. 4 are omitted. A plurality of knobs and a plurality of unillustrated objects (for example, indicator lenses) that are illuminated from the back side by the respective illumination light sources 26 are assembled.

  Furthermore, the inner panel 10 </ b> B has surrounding walls 16 at positions corresponding to specific illumination light sources 26 among the illumination light sources 26. These surrounding walls 16 protrude from the main body portion of the inner panel 10 </ b> B to the back side, and have a cylindrical shape that individually surrounds the corresponding illumination light source 26.

  The elastic sheet 30 is formed in a relatively thin sheet shape as a whole by an elastic member such as rubber, and includes the surrounding wall 16 of the inner panel 10B and the front side surface of the circuit board 20 (the surface on the inner panel 10B side). ) To block light from the specific illumination light source 26 (prevent leakage of light emitted from the illumination light source 26 to the outside) in cooperation with the surrounding wall 16.

  The elastic sheet 30 has a plurality of through holes 34 and cutouts 35 for avoiding interference with the pressing switches 24, and allows the illumination light sources 26 to pass therethrough. It has a plurality of through holes 36 exposed to the illuminated body on the 10 side. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, in a state where the elastic sheet 30 is laid on the surface of the circuit board 20, an appropriate position of the elastic sheet 30 (periphery of the through hole 36 through which the specific illumination light source 26 is inserted). When the end surface 16a of the surrounding wall 16 is in close contact with the inner wall, the target illumination light source 26 is sealed inside the surrounding wall 16, and the light emitted from the illumination light source 26 is applied to the surface of the circuit board 20. Along the way, it is prevented from leaking outward.

  The elastic sheet 30 has a plurality of holes 38 to be held. These held holes 38 are provided at appropriate positions on the elastic sheet 30 and penetrate the elastic sheet 30 in the thickness direction. On the other hand, a holding projection 18 having a large diameter that can be fitted into the held hole 38 without a gap is provided at a position corresponding to each of the held holes 38 in the inner panel 10B. The elastic sheet 30 is held in a normal position by insertion (positions where the through holes 34, 35, and 36 of the elastic sheet 30 respectively match the dial 22, the push switch 24, and the illumination light source 26). .

  The elastic sheet 30 according to this embodiment secures the light shielding function while assembling the elastic sheet 30 to the main body panel 10 (that is, fitting between the held holes 38 and the holding protrusions 18). It has a shape for facilitating joint work. Specifically, the elastic sheet 30 includes a body portion 31 having a shape that can be laid on the surface of the circuit board 20 (in this embodiment, a shape that is slightly smaller than the circuit board 20), and the body. A first handle portion 32A that protrudes from the portion 31 in a first protruding direction (horizontal rightward when viewed from the back side in this embodiment), and a second protruding direction that differs from the first protruding direction from the main body portion 31 ( In this embodiment, a second handle portion 32 </ b> B protruding in the vertical direction (a direction perpendicular to the first protruding direction) is integrally provided.

  The protruding amount of each of the handle portions 32A and 32B is set to a large dimension so that the handle portions 32A and 32B protrude from the peripheral edge of the circuit board 20, respectively. In particular, in this embodiment, each of the handle portions 32A and 32B is set to a size that only protrudes outward from the side wall 12 of the outer panel 10A. On the other hand, the side wall 12 is formed with notches 12a and 12b which are opened to the back side and permit the insertion of the handle portions 32A and 32B from the back side.

  Further, this panel unit is provided with means for facilitating the positioning of the elastic sheet 30 with respect to the main body panel 10. Specifically, a first positioning hole 39A, which is a long hole extending in the first longitudinal direction (vertical direction in this embodiment), is placed at an appropriate position of the first handle portion 32A. A second hole which is formed so as to penetrate in the thickness direction and extends in a second longitudinal direction (horizontal direction in this embodiment) perpendicular to the first longitudinal direction at an appropriate position of the second handle portion 32B. The positioning hole 39B is formed so as to penetrate the second handle portion 32B in the thickness direction.

  On the other hand, from the back surface of the inner panel 10B of the main body panel 10, a first positioning protrusion 19A and a second positioning protrusion 19B protrude on the back side. In this embodiment, the first positioning protrusion 19A is formed in a round shaft shape having a diameter substantially equal to the width dimension of the first positioning hole 39A. Then, in a state where the elastic sheet 30 is in the normal position with respect to the main body panel 10, the first positioning protrusion 19A has a substantially central portion in the longitudinal direction of the first positioning hole 39A. The positions of the first positioning protrusion 19A and the first positioning hole 39A are set so as to penetrate. Similarly, in this embodiment, the second positioning protrusion 19B is formed in a round shaft shape having a diameter substantially equal to the width dimension of the second positioning hole 39B, and the elastic sheet 30 is The second positioning protrusion 19B is in the normal position with respect to the main body panel 10 so that the second positioning protrusion 39B penetrates through a substantially central portion in the longitudinal direction of the second positioning hole 39B. The positions of the positioning protrusion 19B and the second positioning hole 39B are set.

  The positioning protrusions 19A and 19B according to this embodiment also serve as circuit board positioning means for determining the relative position of the circuit board 20 with respect to the inner panel 10B. Specifically, notches 29A and 29B as shown in FIG. 3 are formed at appropriate positions on the peripheral edge of the circuit board 20, and the positioning protrusions 19A and 19B are fitted into the notches 29A and 29B. The circuit board 20 is locked at the regular position. In this embodiment, in addition to the positioning protrusions 19A and 19B, a positioning protrusion 17 dedicated to the circuit board is provided at an appropriate position on the inner panel 10B, and a notch 27 that can be engaged with this is provided on the circuit board. 20 rims are formed.

  The elastic sheet 30 of this embodiment is provided with a front and back identification mark 37 only on the back surface (surface on the circuit board 20 side). This mark 37 may be attached only to the surface (front noodle) of the elastic sheet 30. Alternatively, different marks may be attached to both the front and back surfaces.

  The rear cover 40 is attached to the main body panel 10 so as to cover the elastic sheet 30 and the circuit board 20 from the back side in a state where the elastic sheet 30 and the circuit board 20 are assembled to the back side portion of the main body panel 10. The circuit board 20 is sandwiched from both the front and back sides. The rear cover 40 is fixed by a plurality of fixing screws 42 as shown in FIG. 5 in this embodiment. These fixing screws 42 are inserted into through holes provided in the rear cover 40, the circuit board 20, and the elastic sheet 30, respectively, and screwed into unillustrated screw holes formed on the inner panel 10B side. Thus, the rear cover 40 is fastened to the inner panel 10B.

  Next, the assembly procedure of this panel unit will be described.

  First, the elastic sheet 30 is assembled | attached to the back side part in the state which outer panel 10A and the inner panel 10B of the main body panel 10 united (FIG. 1). This assembling work can be easily performed by the following procedure.

  1) The operator holds the elastic sheet 30 such that the operator grips the first handle portion 32A and the second handle portion 32B of the elastic sheet 30 with fingers of the left and right hands, respectively. Since these handle portions 32A and 32B are portions protruding outward from the main body portion 31, even if foreign matter (dust or oil) attached to the fingers or the like holding the handle portions 32A and 32B is attached, The foreign matter does not hinder the function of the elastic sheet 30. In addition, the operator holds the grip portions 32A and 32B protruding from the main body portion 31 in different directions (more preferably in directions orthogonal to each other), so that the elastic sheet 30 is soft and the shape is unstable. Nevertheless, it is possible to hold it stably. Further, the front and back of the elastic sheet 30 can be discriminated at a glance from the positions of the handle portions 32A and 32B and the protruding direction. This determination is further surely and easily made by the presence of the mark 37.

  2) A corresponding positioning protrusion is inserted into one of the positioning holes 39A and 39B of the elastic sheet 30. Thereby, positioning of the elastic sheet 30 with respect to the main body panel 10 in a specific direction (a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the positioning hole) is performed. For example, the elastic sheet 30 is positioned in the vertical direction by inserting the first positioning protrusion 19A through the first positioning hole 39A extending in the horizontal direction.

  3) The positioning protrusion inserted into the positioning hole as described above is slid relative to the longitudinal direction of the positioning hole, and the other positioning protrusion is inserted into the other positioning hole. The Thereby, the positioning of the elastic sheet 30 in all directions is completed. For example, when the first positioning protrusion 19A is first inserted into the first positioning hole 39A, the first positioning protrusion 19A is placed in the longitudinal direction with respect to the first positioning hole 39A. The second positioning protrusion 19B may be inserted into the second positioning hole 39B while being relatively slid, thereby completing the positioning of the elastic sheet 30 in both the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. To do.

  The positioning holes 39A and 39B provided in the elastic sheet 30 are provided in the handle portions 32A and 32B, respectively, and are close to the portion to be gripped by a finger or the like. Therefore, the positioning protrusions 19A are provided in the positioning holes 39A and 39B. , 19B is easy to insert. In the present invention, the entire positioning holes 39A and 39B are not limited to being included in the region of the handle portions 32A and 32B, respectively. Even when only a part of the positioning holes 39A and 39B is positioned in the handle portions 32A and 32B, respectively, the distance between the positioning holes 39A and 39B and the portion gripped by a finger or the like is reduced to facilitate the insertion operation. It is possible to

  In this positioning operation, the second positioning protrusion 19B may be inserted into the second positioning hole 39B first. In addition, one of the positioning holes 39A and 39B may not be a long hole but may be a round hole having the same shape as the positioning protrusion. In this case, the positioning hole 39A or 39B is a long hole. It is only necessary that the positioning protrusion is inserted through a certain positioning hole first. Further, the shape of the positioning protrusion is not limited to a round shaft, and any shape may be used as long as it has a maximum outer diameter that can be inserted into the corresponding positioning hole. For example, it may have a flat cross-sectional shape that extends in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the corresponding positioning hole and is shorter than the positioning hole in the longitudinal direction.

  4) The elastic sheet 30 positioned as described above is slid (inserted) into the front side of the main body panel 10 at that position. Thereby, each holding projection 18 of the inner panel 10 </ b> B is fitted into each held hole 38 of the elastic sheet 30, and the elastic sheet 30 is held. At this time, the handle portions 32A and 32B are inserted into the notches 19A and 19B of the side wall 12. Therefore, regardless of the presence of the side wall 12, the handle portion of the elastic sheet 30 is avoided while avoiding interference between the side wall 12 and fingers. The main body 31 can be easily inserted into the inner region of the side wall 12 while holding 32A and 32B.

  Here, when the handle portions 32A and 32B are not formed on the elastic sheet 30 as in the comparative example shown in FIG. 6, for example, the operator holds only a very limited portion of the periphery of the elastic sheet 30. Therefore, it is difficult to hold the elastic sheet 30 stably. Further, when the elastic sheet 30 is inserted inside the side wall 12, the side wall 12 and the finger interfere with each other, so that the insertion itself is difficult. Even if the elastic sheet 30 can be inserted, each elastic sheet 30 is to be held. The operation of fitting each holding projection 18 of the inner panel 10B into the hole 38 is not easy. In addition, when foreign matter or the like adheres to a portion gripped with a finger or the like, the foreign matter may be interposed between the elastic sheet 30 and the circuit board 20 to reduce the adhesion between them.

  These inconveniences are eliminated all at once by the presence of the handle portions 32A and 32B.

  After the elastic sheet 30 is set in this way, the circuit board 20 shown in FIG. 3 is set on the inside of the side wall 12 and the rear cover 40 shown in FIG. By mounting on the panel 10, the assembly of the panel unit is completed. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, in addition to the setting of the circuit board 20, another circuit board 20A, 20B is set inside the side wall 12 at a position aligned with the circuit board 20, and adjacent circuit boards are connected to each other. Are connected via wiring members 28A and 28B, respectively. Then, the rear cover 40 is attached to the main body panel 10 so as to cover all the circuit boards 20, 20A, 20B from the back side.

  As the rear cover 40 is attached, as shown in FIG. 4, an appropriate position of the main body 31 of the elastic sheet 30 (peripheral position of the through hole 36 into which the specific illumination light source 26 fits) is the surface of the circuit board 20 and the inner side. It is sandwiched between the end surface 16a of the surrounding wall 16 on the panel 10B side. That is, the end surface 16 a is in pressure contact with the front side surface of the elastic sheet 30. As a result, the specific illumination light source 26 is sealed inside the surrounding wall 16, and light is prevented from leaking outward from the illumination light source 26.

  The purpose of the elastic sheet 30 according to the present invention is not limited to the light shielding. For example, a specific interior part may be hermetically sealed to prevent water from entering from the outside. Alternatively, a part of the elastic sheet 30 may constitute a rubber switch that is displaced in the thickness direction. Further, the portion where the main body panel is in pressure contact with the elastic sheet 30 is not limited to the surrounding wall 16 surrounding the illumination light source 26 which is an interior part as shown in the figure, but a specific direction (for example, light shielding is required) with respect to the illumination light source. It may be a simple plate-like wall that is press-contacted only at a location adjacent to the above.

  The elastic sheet 30 according to the present invention only needs to include at least a first handle portion and a second handle portion that protrudes in a direction different from the first handle portion. In addition, the elastic sheet 30 includes third and fourth handle portions. It is not intended to be excluded. The positioning holes 39A and 39B can be omitted as appropriate. Even when these holes are omitted, the handle portions 32A and 32B assist in assembling the elastic sheet 30 to the main body panel 10 easily.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, instead of projecting the handle portions 32A, 32B of the elastic sheet 30 through the notches 12a, 12b of the side wall 12, the second embodiment is shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, for example. As shown, the handle portions 32 </ b> A and 32 </ b> B may be stored inside the side wall 12. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, if the handle storage portions 12 c and 12 d for receiving the handle portions 32 </ b> A and 32 </ b> B are formed at appropriate positions on the side wall 12 and bulge outward from the other portions, the entire side wall 12 is formed. The handle portions 32A and 32B can be accommodated inside the side wall 12 without increasing the size of the side wall. In this case, the rear cover 40 may be formed with, for example, protrusions 44A and 44B that close the handle storage portions 12c and 12d from the back side.
