Description

  The present invention relates to a meter device mounted on a vehicle or the like, and relates to an illumination structure for a meter device that can indirectly emit a pointer itself.

  In this type of meter device mounted on a vehicle or the like, in general, a dial provided with letters, numbers, scales, etc. is illuminated from the back side with a dedicated light source, or letters and numbers on the dial are displayed. It is common to illuminate the pointer that points to it.

  Various types of such meter devices have been developed. As one of such devices, a self-luminous type device is known which is configured to increase the luminous efficiency of the pointer (see, for example, Patent Document 1). ).

  As shown in FIG. 6, this meter device is integrated with a motor case 101, a pointer 102 guided through a protruding portion 101 </ b> A used as a bearing provided on the main body of the motor case 101, and a base portion of the pointer 102. The light source 105 and the printed circuit board 106 on which the light source 105 is mounted are disposed directly below the hollow shaft 104 at a distance H from the lower end portion 103A of the provided pointer shaft 103.

  In this meter apparatus, the pointer shaft 103 of the pointer 102 has a condensing surface formed in a convex shape at the lower end portion 103A in order to collect illumination light emitted from the light source 105 made of LED. In addition, the pointer 102 has a cylindrical shape with a pointer shaft 103, and a lower end portion 103A thereof preferably has a hemispherical shape or a convex shape. According to such a specific shape, the light emitted from the light source 105 made of LED can be made parallel to the axis after being incident on the pointer shaft 103. In this meter device, dial illumination is performed by disposing a plurality of dedicated light sources (not shown) below the dial (not shown).

  Incidentally, the pointer 102 effectively illuminates the illumination light guided from the light source 105 through the pointer shaft 103 to the tip. Therefore, the reflecting surface 103B is formed on the pointer 102 in order to reflect and deflect the illumination light guided through the pointer shaft 103 provided integrally therewith in a substantially right angle direction. Furthermore, in order to avoid the trouble that a part of the illumination light guided to the pointer 102 goes straight upward from the base and leaks out into the eyes of the viewer, the pointer 102 is opaque. A light-shielding cap 107 having a characteristic is covered.

For example, by reducing the brightness and emitting light gently to the eyes of the viewer, it is possible to differentiate it from conventional self-luminous type lighting, and to produce a sense of quality with lighting indirectly. There is an increasing demand for the development of light-emitting lighting structures.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an illumination structure for a meter device that can indirectly emit a pointer while suppressing cost as much as possible.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a meter device 1 to which the illumination structure of the meter device according to the present invention is applied. The meter device 1 includes a light source 2 mounted on a substrate (not shown), a rotating shaft 4 that rotates when a driving force of a motor (not shown) housed in a motor case 3 is transmitted, and a tip portion of the rotating shaft 4. A pointer 6 integrally provided with a connecting portion 5 that fits in, a cap 7 that covers the base of the pointer 6, and a case (not shown) attached to a predetermined location on the substrate including the area where the light source 2 is mounted. And a dial plate (not shown) for displaying necessary information on the vehicle itself or the environment around the vehicle, such as numerals, letters, symbols, and the like, with the pointer 6.

  The meter device 1 according to the present embodiment constitutes a part of a combination meter, and the periphery is covered with a turntable not shown. In addition, the display plate is opened with various display windows for installing various instruments including the meter device 1, and is integrated with a combination meter case constituting the side surface and the back surface side.

  The meter device 1 of the present embodiment constitutes a speedometer, and rotates the pointer 6 by a predetermined angle on the basis of a sensor signal corresponding to the speed detected by a sensor (not shown), and a dial plate (not shown). Point to the specific scale formed.

  The light source 2 of the present embodiment makes light (hereinafter referred to as “illumination light”) incident toward the lower end of the rotating shaft 4 and emits visible light having a predetermined wavelength (λ), for example, an LED (Light Emitting Diode (Light Emitting Diode). In this light source 2, the illumination light to be emitted has a uniform emission characteristic that does not depend on the direction of the phase angle. That is, the light source 2 of the present embodiment has a light quantity distribution characteristic that emits a substantially uniform quantity of light to the rotation shaft 4 over the entire 360 ° circumference in the horizontal plane (XY plane) direction. The light source 2 of the present embodiment is not particularly limited to this LED, but is preferably a small point light source with low power consumption.

  The motor case 3 includes a rotation shaft 4 in addition to a motor, an intermediate gear, and an output gear, all of which are not shown. The motor is for rotating the pointer 6, and the pointer 6 is reliably rotated along the surface of the dial plate by rotating the rotating shaft 4 by decelerating through the intermediate gear and the output gear. It is designed to accurately point out various necessary information.

  As described above, the rotating shaft 4 is rotated by the driving force transmitted from the motor, and is constituted by a solid, substantially cylindrical shape made of a light-transmitting material. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the rotary shaft 4 is inserted in a state in which the upper end portion, which is the tip portion, is fitted in the cylindrical hole 5 </ b> A of the connecting portion 5 integrated with the pointer 6. The pointer 6 integrally provided with the connecting portion 5 is fixed to the rotating shaft 4 by fitting the rotating shaft 4 into the cylindrical hole 5A of the connecting portion 5. The rotating shaft 4 is installed on the back side of a dial (not shown), on the lower side in FIG. The rotating shaft 4 is rotatably supported at a lower end portion, which is a base end portion, by a bearing 3A provided on the motor case 3, and the light source 2 is directly opposed to a lower end surface which is an end surface on the lower end portion side. ing.

  The lower end surface of the rotating shaft 4 is provided so as to be positioned immediately above the light source 2, and when the illumination light from the light source 2 is incident, the illumination light is guided inside the rotating shaft 4 and propagates to the upper end portion. To go. For this reason, the rotating shaft 4 is configured such that most of the above-described illumination light travels to the upper end portion while being totally reflected at the interface portion between the inside and the outside (air) on the outer peripheral surface. In this case, in order to efficiently generate the total reflection phenomenon at the interface portion between the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 4 and the outside world, the incident angle with respect to the outer peripheral surface is a required criticality corresponding to the natural wavelength of the illumination light. It is devised to make it incident in a direction that always exceeds the angle. That is, in this embodiment, the lower end surface of the rotating shaft 4 is formed in a circular arc shape from the central portion (axis L) toward the peripheral portion.

  The connecting portion 5 is formed of a material having good light transmittance, and extends integrally downward from a base portion that is the center of rotation of the pointer 6 through which the axis L passes, and is opened in a cylindrical shape at the lower end surface. The above-described cylinder hole 5A (see FIG. 3) is provided. And it is fitted in this cylinder hole 5A in the state by which the front-end | tip part of the rotating shaft 4 was penetrated. As described above, the connecting portion 5 is assembled integrally with the rotating shaft 4 that rotates by the rotational driving force of the motor, and rotates together with the rotating shaft 4. As shown in FIG. 3, the ceiling surface 5B corresponding to the bottom of the cylindrical hole 5A opened at the lower end of the connecting portion 5 prevents the illumination light transmitted through the rotating shaft 4 from leaking outside as much as possible. It has a flat shape parallel to the horizontal (XY) direction. Moreover, the upper surface 5C part which is the surface opposite to the ceiling surface 5B of the connection part 5 of this embodiment is also exhibiting the flat shape similarly.

  The pointer 6 indicates a number or scale provided on the dial by rotating along the surface of the dial integrally with the rotary shaft 4 via the connecting portion 5. As described above, the guide 6 of the present invention is an illumination that can suppress a direct incident on the viewer's eyes as much as possible, and at the same time, can produce a unique appearance, a high-class feeling, or a novel feeling. It has a structure. In other words, instead of the conventional self-light-emitting type, indirect light emission that has never been performed with respect to the pointer is performed.

  The pointer 6 has a main body 61 formed of an appropriate material having impermeability or semi-permeability. That is, the main body 61 of the pointer 6 can realize indirect light emission by absorbing or attenuating much of the illumination light incident thereon, and refracts and transmits the pointer 6 after passing through the pointer 6. It is designed to avoid direct insertion with high brightness in the eyes. In addition, about the connection part 5 integral with the pointer | guide 6, it has favorable light guide property. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 3, the lower surface 6A of the base serving as the center of rotation of the pointer 6 and the ceiling surface 5B of the connecting portion 5 are integrally fixed with an appropriate adhesive material having good light transmittance. Thereby, the integration of the main body portion 61 and the connecting portion 5 of the pointer 6 having different optical characteristics is realized.

  Further, a hole 6C is formed in the main body 61 of the pointer 6 so as to penetrate in the thickness (Z) direction between the lower surface 6A and the upper surface 6B of the pointer 6, particularly in the vicinity of the rotation center portion. Yes. Further, the main body portion 61 of the pointer 6 has a cross section as shown in FIG. 4 in order to emit as much indirect illumination light as possible toward the surface which is the upper surface 6B visually recognized by the viewer. It is formed in an isosceles inverted trapezoidal shape.

  Moreover, the main body 61 of the pointer 6 according to the present embodiment is not essential, but a part of the main body 61 reaches three surfaces excluding the surface, which is the upper surface 6B, while the traveling illumination light is absorbed or attenuated. Then, by effectively reflecting there, as much indirect illumination light as possible leaks from the surface and can emit light. For this reason, the reflection part 62 is provided in 3 surfaces. The reflecting portion 62 is a normal metal material, for example, a vapor-deposited Al or Ag, a painted or plated one, a vapor-deposited dielectric multilayer film, a pre-formed with a predetermined light shielding material, or a hot stamp You may form by giving.

  In the case of providing the reflecting portion 62, the connecting portion 5 is provided at the portion serving as the rotation center of the base portion of the lower surface 6A of the main body portion 61 in order to achieve effective optical coupling between the connecting portion 5 and the main body portion 61. It is necessary to avoid the illumination light that has been guided from being reflected by the reflecting portion 62. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, a through hole 62 </ b> A is provided in the optical path portion where the illumination light travels.

  The cap 7 is formed of an appropriate material having a light shielding property so that the illumination light from the light source 2 guided through the rotary shaft 4 is prevented from passing through the pointer 6 and leaking to the outside. The The cap 7 is placed on the upper portion of the cap 6 in accordance with the axis L passing through the center of rotation of the pointer 6, that is, the center of the hole 6C.

  The cap 7 is placed on the pointer 6 so that the reflecting portion 71 formed of a conical protrusion is inserted into the hole 6 </ b> C that is the rotation center of the pointer 6. The reflection part 71 of the cap 7 reflects the illumination light emitted from the tip part of the rotating shaft 4 and directed toward the pointer 6 by the reflection part to deflect the optical path by approximately 90 degrees. As a shape of the reflecting portion, it is only necessary that the illumination light traveling from the lower surface side toward the upper surface side toward the main body portion 61 of the pointer 6 can be effectively reflected. Therefore, in addition to the substantially conical shape as in the present embodiment, the shape may be a substantially pyramid shape that protrudes toward the lower surface 6A of the pointer 6 in a pointed manner. For example, a quadrangular pyramid or other polygonal pyramids may be used.

Next, the operation of the meter device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
In addition, about description of the meter apparatus 1 here, although the effect | action is demonstrated taking a speedometer as an example among each instruments, it is not limited to this in particular, Other analog type meter apparatuses, etc. The same applies to the case of.

  When the vehicle equipped with the meter device 1 starts to move, the motor provided in the motor case 3 starts rotational driving based on a sensor signal detected by a speed sensor (not shown) and output according to the current speed. Thereby, the pointer 6 is rotated by a predetermined angle, and a specific scale or number formed on the dial is indicated.

  That is, the rotating shaft 4 rotates at an angular velocity that matches the speed by a driving force from a motor (not shown). As a result, the pointer 6 integral with the rotary shaft 4 integrally fitted to the upper end portion of the rotary shaft 4 is rotated, and a specific scale or number on the dial is indicated at the tip of the pointer 6. As a result, the current speed can be notified to the driver by analog display.

  In the meter device 1 that performs such speed display, at the same time, the illumination light emitted from the light source 2 propagates upward while causing total reflection at the interface between the outer peripheral surface and the outside of the rotating shaft 4. Repeat the phenomenon. And when this illumination light reaches the upper end part of the rotating shaft 4, it will be light-guided through the connection part 5, and will advance to the hole 6C of the pointer 6 above it. The illumination light traveling to the hole 6C is reflected by the surface of the conical reflecting portion 71 inserted into the hole 6C. Most of the illumination light whose traveling light path is deflected by approximately 90 degrees enters the main body 61 of the pointer 6 and gradually proceeds to the tip of the main body 61 while being absorbed or attenuated to emit light. Thereby, the pointer 6 can perform indirect light emission.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, a part of the illumination light in the pointer 6 is reflected on the three surfaces on which the reflecting portion 62 is formed while traveling through the main body portion 61, whereby the upper surface 6 </ b> B of the main body portion 61. The light is emitted from the surface with the brightness attenuated. For this reason, a driver who visually recognizes the pointer 6 does not need to insert illumination light having high luminance and strong eye stimulation, and fatigue to the eyes can be suppressed. In addition, the brightness of the indirect illumination light emitted from the surface which is the upper surface 6B of the main body 61 can be further reduced by further performing fine unevenness processing on the inner surface side in contact with the main body 61 of the reflecting portion 62. . In addition, it is possible to suppress as much as possible the direct entry and stimulation of the viewer's eyes, and at the same time, it is possible to further enhance the lighting effect that provides a unique appearance, a high-class feeling, or a novel feeling.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, a simple configuration in which the conical reflecting portion 71 is provided on a part of the back surface of the cap 7, and the pointer 6 rotates according to the speed while indirectly emitting light, thereby various information. The illumination structure of the meter device that indicates Thereby, the labor of the assembling work can be saved as compared with the structure in which the reflecting member is formed separately from the cap and assembled to a part of the pointer.

  In particular, according to the present embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the main body portion 61 of the pointer 6 has a substantially isosceles inverted trapezoidal shape in which the surface that is the upper surface facing the viewer expands to the lower surface on the opposite side. For this reason, indirect illumination light can be spread | diffused toward a viewer, and indirect light emission which further reduced irritation | stimulation to eyes can be performed. Furthermore, by providing the reflecting portions 62 on the three surfaces excluding the upper surface of the main body portion 61 of the pointer 6, it is possible to emit indirect illumination light with reduced brightness toward the viewer. Accordingly, it is possible to illuminate around the pointer of the meter device 1 with the brightness and illuminance as indirect light being reduced. Thereby, the illumination effect as indirect light can be further enhanced. In other words, conventional self-luminous lighting that suppresses direct stimulation to the viewer's eyes as much as possible and at the same time further enhances the unique appearance, luxury, or novelty. A new type of lighting that can be differentiated will be realized.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and can be implemented in various forms without departing from the gist of the present invention. That is, in the present embodiment, the cap 7 and the connecting portion 5 provided with the cylindrical hole 5A are different in translucency. Therefore, they are formed separately in advance and then fixed together. However, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, the cap 7 and the intermediate shaft 8 provided with the cylindrical hole 8A are passed through the upper and lower surfaces of the pointer 6. The hands 6 may be sandwiched by being fitted into the holes 6C to be held, respectively.

In the above-described embodiment, the pointer 6 is formed of an appropriate material having impermeable or semi-transmissive properties, and the remaining three surface portions excluding the upper surface portion of the main body 61 are the reflecting portions 62. It consists of However, in the present invention, as long as effective indirect illumination can be realized, the pointer may be composed of only the main body.
On the other hand, in the present invention, it is of course possible to configure only the reflecting part without the main body part, but in that case, since there is not a sufficient thickness as the main body part, it effectively absorbs illumination light or It is actually difficult to attenuate. Therefore, in order to avoid self-light emission, it is necessary to realize indirect illumination by suppressing the luminance of illumination light even with only a thin reflecting portion. For this purpose, it is preferable to select an appropriate effective material having a substantially semi-permeable property even if it is thin, or to perform an effective attenuation process. In general, thin plate-shaped members tend to look cheap, and it is difficult to produce a high-quality feeling. It is important to elect.

  In addition, the illumination structure of the meter device of the present embodiment constitutes a speedometer, but is not limited to this, and can be applied to various instruments such as a fuel gauge section, a tachometer section, and a water temperature gauge. .
