Description

本発明は、指針ユニットに係り、特に、光源と、一端が前記光源に対向して配置された光透過性の回転軸と、文字板を指示する指針本体及び前記指針本体から前記回転軸の他端に向かって突出した基部が設けられた指針と、を備えた指針ユニットに関するものである。   The present invention relates to a pointer unit, and in particular, a light source, a light-transmitting rotary shaft having one end disposed to face the light source, a pointer main body that indicates a dial plate, and other than the rotary shaft from the pointer main body. And a pointer unit provided with a base portion protruding toward the end.

一般に車両には、車両速度及びエンジン回転数等の計測値を表示する車両用表示装置が搭載されており、多くの車両において上記車両用表示装置が指針計器で構成されている。このような指針計器としては、例えば図５〜図９に示すものが知られている（特許文献１）同図に示すように、指針計器１は、正面に目盛及び数字、文字又は記号などの指標が設けられた文字板２と、この文字板２上の指標を指示するための指針ユニット３と、を備えている。   In general, a vehicle is equipped with a vehicle display device that displays measurement values such as a vehicle speed and an engine speed, and in many vehicles, the vehicle display device includes a pointer instrument. As such a pointer instrument, for example, those shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 are known (Patent Document 1). As shown in the same figure, the pointer instrument 1 includes a scale and numbers, letters, symbols, etc. on the front. A dial 2 provided with an index and a pointer unit 3 for indicating the index on the dial 2 are provided.

指針ユニット３は、図６に示すように、文字板２を指示する光透過性の指針３３と、この指針３３を回転させるモータ３２と、指針を照明する光源３１と、を備えている。上記モータ３２の回転軸であるライトガイド３２ａは、円柱状に設けられた光透過性の材料で構成されていて、その一端が光源３１に対向するように配置されている。指針３３は、図８に示すように、文字板２を指示する指針本体３３ａとライトガイド３２ａの他端に向かって突出した基部３３ｂとが設けられている。上述した指針計器１によれば、図６及び図７に示すように、光源３１からの光Ｌは、ライトガイド３２ａの一端面からライトガイド３２ａ内に入光され、ライトガイド３２ａの軸方向に沿って進みライトガイド３２ａの他端面であるライトガイド出光面Ｍ４（図７、図９）から出光される。ライトガイド３２ａから出光された光Ｌは、基部３３ｂの端面である指針入光面Ｍ２（図７、図９）から指針３３内に入射され、指針３３が光輝して視認される。   As shown in FIG. 6, the pointer unit 3 includes a light-transmitting pointer 33 that points to the dial 2, a motor 32 that rotates the pointer 33, and a light source 31 that illuminates the pointer. The light guide 32 a that is the rotation shaft of the motor 32 is made of a light-transmitting material provided in a columnar shape, and is disposed so that one end thereof faces the light source 31. As shown in FIG. 8, the pointer 33 is provided with a pointer main body 33a for indicating the dial 2 and a base 33b protruding toward the other end of the light guide 32a. According to the pointer instrument 1 described above, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the light L from the light source 31 enters the light guide 32a from one end surface of the light guide 32a, and extends in the axial direction of the light guide 32a. Then, the light is emitted from the light guide exit surface M4 (FIGS. 7 and 9) which is the other end surface of the light guide 32a. The light L emitted from the light guide 32a enters the pointer 33 from the pointer incident surface M2 (FIGS. 7 and 9), which is the end surface of the base portion 33b, and the pointer 33 is visually recognized.

上述したライトガイド３２ａは、軸周りに回転可能に軸支されているため、円柱状に形成されていて、このため、上述したライトガイド出光面Ｍ４は、円状に設けられている。そして、従来、指針３３の指針入光面Ｍ２もライトガイド出光面Ｍ４と同じ大きさ、同じ形状の円状に設けられている。しかしながら、上述した指針入光面Ｍ２の形状では、指針幅Ｗが指針入光面Ｍ２の直径Ｒに合わせて決まるため、指針幅Ｗは一定幅以上となりデザイン上の制約を受ける、という問題が生じていた。   Since the light guide 32a described above is pivotally supported around the axis, the light guide 32a is formed in a columnar shape. For this reason, the light guide light exit surface M4 described above is provided in a circular shape. Conventionally, the pointer light incident surface M2 of the pointer 33 is also provided in a circular shape having the same size and the same shape as the light guide light emitting surface M4. However, in the shape of the pointer light incident surface M2 described above, the pointer width W is determined in accordance with the diameter R of the pointer light incident surface M2, so that there is a problem that the pointer width W becomes a certain width or more and is restricted in design. It was.

上記圧入部３５ｂに指針３３の基部３３ｂとライトガイド３２ａの他端が圧入されると、図２及び図３に示すように、基部３３ｂの指針入光面Ｍ２とライトガイド３２ａのライトガイド出光面Ｍ４とがライトガイド３２ａの軸方向に対向する。このとき、基部３３ｂの指針入光面Ｍ２の全部がライトガイド出光面Ｍ４に対向する。   When the base 33b of the pointer 33 and the other end of the light guide 32a are press-fitted into the press-fit portion 35b, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the pointer light incident surface M2 of the base 33b and the light guide light exit surface of the light guide 32a M4 is opposed to the axial direction of the light guide 32a. At this time, the entire pointer light incident surface M2 of the base 33b faces the light guide light exit surface M4.

上述した構成の指針ユニット３によれば、図２などに示すように、光源３１からの光Ｌは、ライトガイド３２ａのライトガイド入光面Ｍ１からライトガイド３２ａ内に入光され、ライトガイド３２ａの軸方向に沿って進みライトガイド３２ａのライトガイド出光面Ｍ４から出光される。ライトガイド３２ａから出光された光Ｌは、基部３３ｂの指針入光面Ｍ２から指針３３内に入光される。指針３３内に入光された光Ｌは、指針３３内を導光し、第１、第２反射面Ｍ３１、Ｍ３２で反射される。第１反射面Ｍ３１で反射された光Ｌは、指針本体３３ａを先端Ｔ１に向かって進み、第２反射面Ｍ３２で反射された光Ｌは、指針本体３３ａを後端に向かって進む。また、指針３３内に入射された光Ｌの一部は、第１、第２反射面Ｍ３１、Ｍ３２で反射されず、そのまま正面に向かう。これにより、指針本体３３ａ全体が光輝して視認される。   According to the pointer unit 3 configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 2 and the like, the light L from the light source 31 enters the light guide 32a from the light guide incident surface M1 of the light guide 32a, and the light guide 32a. The light guide 32a is emitted from the light guide light exit surface M4 of the light guide 32a. The light L emitted from the light guide 32a enters the pointer 33 from the pointer incident surface M2 of the base portion 33b. The light L entering the pointer 33 is guided through the pointer 33 and reflected by the first and second reflecting surfaces M31 and M32. The light L reflected by the first reflecting surface M31 travels through the pointer main body 33a toward the tip T1, and the light L reflected by the second reflecting surface M32 travels through the pointer main body 33a toward the rear end. Further, a part of the light L incident into the pointer 33 is not reflected by the first and second reflecting surfaces M31 and M32, and goes directly to the front. Thereby, the whole pointer main body 33a is shined and visually recognized.

上述した指針ユニット３によれば、基部３３ｂの指針入光面Ｍ２の幅Ｗ１が、ライトガイド３２ａのライトガイド出光面Ｍ４の幅Ｗ２より小さく、基部３３ｂの指針入光面Ｍ２の形状が、指針本体３３ａの長手方向に沿って長尺状の長方形に設けられているので、基部３３ｂの指針入光面Ｍ２の受光面積を確保した上で、図３に示す指針幅Ｗ（＝Ｗ１）をライトガイド３２ａのライトガイド出光面Ｍ４の幅Ｗ２よりも小さくすることができ、指針幅Ｗを細くすることが可能となり、見栄えを向上できる。   According to the pointer unit 3 described above, the width W1 of the pointer incident surface M2 of the base 33b is smaller than the width W2 of the light guide exit surface M4 of the light guide 32a, and the shape of the pointer incident surface M2 of the base 33b is the pointer. Since the light receiving area of the pointer light incident surface M2 of the base portion 33b is secured, the pointer width W (= W1) shown in FIG. The width of the light guide exit surface M4 of the guide 32a can be made smaller than the width W2, the pointer width W can be reduced, and the appearance can be improved.

また、上述した指針ユニット３によれば、基部３３ｂの指針入光面Ｍ２の全部が、ライトガイド３２ａのライトガイド出光面Ｍ４と対向するように設けられているので、基部３３ｂが無駄に大きくなることがない。   Further, according to the pointer unit 3 described above, since the entire pointer light incident surface M2 of the base portion 33b is provided to face the light guide light exit surface M4 of the light guide 32a, the base portion 33b becomes uselessly large. There is nothing.

なお、上述した実施形態によれば、指針入光面Ｍ２は、長方形状であったが本発明はこれに限ったものではない。指針入光面Ｍ２は、指針本体３３ａの長手方向に沿って長尺状に設けられていればよく、楕円形状などであってもよい。   In addition, according to the embodiment described above, the pointer light incident surface M2 has a rectangular shape, but the present invention is not limited to this. The pointer light incident surface M2 only needs to be provided in a long shape along the longitudinal direction of the pointer main body 33a, and may have an elliptical shape or the like.

また、前述した実施形態は本発明の代表的な形態を示したに過ぎず、本発明は、実施形態に限定されるものではない。即ち、本発明の骨子を逸脱しない範囲で種々変形して実施することができる。   Further, the above-described embodiments are merely representative forms of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. That is, various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
