Description

  The present invention relates to a structure for preventing reflection of light at a meter glass covering a meter arranged in front of a driver's seat.

  An instrument panel (hereinafter referred to as instrument panel) provided in front of the driver's seat in the passenger compartment is provided with a combination meter (hereinafter referred to as meter) in which a speedometer, a tachometer, a water temperature gauge, a fuel gauge, and the like are packaged. The driver can recognize various vehicle states such as the speed of the vehicle and the remaining amount of fuel by looking at the display on the meter.

  Usually, a transparent meter glass is attached in front of the meter display part. However, if external light such as sunlight directly reflects on the meter glass and enters the driver's field of view, the meter display part is difficult to see. And visibility is reduced. Therefore, an awning called a meter visor is provided above the display portion of the meter so that external light does not directly hit the meter glass. Furthermore, in the meter glass, the glass surface is attached so that the upper end portion is located in front of the lower end portion (driver side), and is attached to the driver's field of view even if external light hits the meter glass. There are things that are not allowed to enter.

  However, even if the meter glass has such a configuration that the glass surface is inclined obliquely downward, it is not incident on the upper surface of the meter bezel located in front of the lower portion of the meter glass or the upper surface of the column cover that covers the steering column. Light may be reflected by these upper surfaces and hit the meter glass, and may also be reflected by the meter glass and enter the driver's field of view. In addition, a virtual image of a meter bezel or a column cover may be reflected on the meter glass, and the display portion of the meter may be difficult to see.

  On the other hand, for example, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, the lower part of the meter visor that covers the meters is extended to the front end of the upper surface of the column cover as a facing portion, and the upper surface of the column cover is aligned with the upper surface of the facing portion. Yes. Thereby, it is said that the external light reflected by the upper surface of the column cover can hardly reach the meter glass, and the virtual image of the column cover can be hardly reflected on the meter glass. Furthermore, at least the upper surface of the column cover is made black so that external light reaching the upper surface of the column cover can be absorbed.

JP 2003-226161 A

However, as in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, even if the turning portion at the bottom of the meter visor is extended to the front end of the upper surface of the column cover and is aligned with the upper surface of the column cover, the external light incident on this upper surface is applied to the meter glass. It may not be difficult to reach, and light may be reflected on the meter glass depending on the angle of incident external light. In particular, when the windshield has a large rear slope and is formed so as to be close to the upper part of the driver's seat, such a situation is likely to be caused by the incident angle of external light such as sunlight.
Further, as in Patent Document 1, it is possible to easily absorb light by making the upper surface of the column cover black, but if the column cover continues to absorb light if external light continues to hit the column cover, There is a risk of high temperatures.

This case has been devised in view of such problems, and it is possible to reliably prevent external light reflected by the meter glass from entering the driver's field of view and improve the visibility of the meter. An object of the present invention is to provide an antireflection structure for glass.
The present invention is not limited to this purpose, and is a function and effect derived from each configuration shown in the embodiments for carrying out the invention described later, and other effects of the present invention are to obtain a function and effect that cannot be obtained by conventional techniques. Can be positioned.

  (1) The light reflection preventing structure of the meter glass disclosed here is a structure that prevents light reflection on the meter glass covering the meter disposed in front of the driver's seat in the passenger compartment. The meter glass is provided such that its surface faces obliquely downward on the driver's seat side. Further, on the upper surface of the meter bezel located below the meter main body or the upper surface of the column cover that covers the steering column, the external light incident on and reflected from any one of the upper surfaces from outside the vehicle compartment is the surface of the meter glass. However, a focal region, which is a reflection region that forms a reflection path that reflects and enters the driver's field of view, is formed. Furthermore, a screen that covers the focal region is provided on any one of the upper surfaces.

(2) It is preferable that the partition has a shielding part that is spaced upward from the focal region on any one of the upper surfaces, and the shielding part is formed at a position that shades the focal region.
(3) Moreover, it is preferable that the partition is provided on any one of the upper surfaces so as to be separated from the driver's seat as the distance from the focal region increases.

(4) Further, it is preferable that a recess formed in a concave shape is provided on any one of the upper surfaces, and the recess is provided so that the focal region is formed inside the recess.
(5) At this time, it is more preferable that the partition is provided substantially parallel to any one of the upper surfaces on the upper end of the recess so as to cover the recess.

  According to the disclosed meter glass light reflection preventing structure, external light reflected from the outside of the passenger compartment on the upper surface of the meter bezel or the column cover is also reflected on the surface of the meter glass to enter the driver's field of view. With a simple configuration of providing a partition that covers the focal region, which is a reflection region to be configured, it is possible to block external light from entering the focal region formed on any upper surface. As a result, it is possible to prevent external light that has entered one of the upper surfaces from being reflected by the focal region, and to prevent light reflected from the surface of the meter glass from entering the driver's field of view. Can be improved.

It is a typical perspective view which shows the structure ahead of the driver to which the light reflection preventing structure of the meter glass which concerns on one Embodiment was applied. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view in alignment with the vehicle front-back direction of the meter vicinity shown in FIG. It is sectional drawing for demonstrating the light reflection preventing structure of the meter glass which concerns on the modification of one Embodiment, (a) is a 1st modification, (b) is a 2nd modification, (c) is a 3rd modification. It is an example. It is a figure explaining the structure ahead of the conventional driver and the reflection path of light, and is a sectional view corresponding to FIG.

Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiment described below is merely an example, and there is no intention to exclude various modifications and technical applications that are not explicitly described in the following embodiment.
[1. Constitution]
First, a meter to which the light reflection preventing structure for meter glass according to the present embodiment is applied and its peripheral structure will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of the meter and its surroundings, and FIG. 2 is a partial longitudinal sectional view of the meter and its surroundings along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an instrument panel 1 (hereinafter referred to as an instrument panel 1) extending in the vehicle width direction is provided at the front of the vehicle interior of the vehicle. The instrument panel 1 extends from the front of the driver's seat 4 on which the driver is seated to the front of the passenger seat (not shown), and includes various operation switches and storage units. A meter 2 for displaying the state of the vehicle is attached to the front portion of the driver's seat 4 of the instrument panel 1. Here, the meter 2 is a combination meter in which instruments such as a speedometer, an engine tachometer, a fuel gauge, a water temperature gauge, and a lamp such as a remaining fuel level warning light and a brake warning light are packaged. And other information such as the outside air temperature and the remaining amount of fuel are displayed.

  The meter 2 includes a meter main body (main body portion) 21 to which these instruments are attached, a meter bezel 22 surrounding the meter main body 21, and a meter glass 23 provided in front of the meter main body 21 (driver's seat 4 side). And have. The meter body 21 is provided with a dial and a display section of each instrument on a surface (hereinafter referred to as a display surface 21f) facing the driver's seat 4, and the instrument panel 1 is inclined so that the display surface 21f faces obliquely upward. Attached to. In other words, the meter main body 21 is attached with an inclination so that the upper end is positioned in front of the vehicle with respect to the vertical direction with respect to the lower end (away from the driver's seat 4) so that the driver can easily see each instrument. It has become.

  The meter bezel 22 is provided so as to surround the top, bottom, left, and right of the meter main body 21, is a portion forming the outer shape of the meter 2, and is provided integrally with the instrument panel 1. A portion of the meter bezel 22 located above the meter main body 21 is also called a meter visor, and protrudes from the display surface 21f of the meter main body 21 toward the driver's seat 4 side. Hereinafter, the upper portion of the meter bezel 22 is particularly referred to as a meter visor 22A. The meter visor 22A extends in the vehicle width direction above the meter main body 21 and functions as an awning that prevents the meter main body 21 from being directly exposed to external light such as sunlight.

  The lower part of the meter bezel 22 protrudes from the display surface 21f of the meter body 21 toward the driver's seat 4 and functions as a pedestal for the meter body 21. The lower part of the meter bezel 22 has a shorter length protruding toward the driver's seat 4 than the upper part (meter visor 22A). The left and right sides of the meter bezel 22 protrude from the display surface 21f of the meter body 21 toward the driver's seat 4 by the same length as the lower portion of the beta bezel 22. The “left and right” of the meter bezel 22 here means the left and right in a state where the meter 2 is attached to the instrument panel 1 and coincides with the left and right direction of the vehicle.

  The meter glass 23 is a transparent panel member provided in front of the meter main body 21 (on the driver's seat 4 side), and is made of, for example, glass or plastic. The outer peripheral end of the meter glass 23 is fixed to the meter bezel 22. The meter glass 23 has an upper end portion 23a and a lower end portion 23b attached to be separated from the display surface 21f, and the upper end portion 23a is spaced farther than the lower end portion 23b. That is, the meter glass 23 is attached with the surface opposite to the surface facing the display surface 21f (that is, the surface facing the driver's seat 4, hereinafter referred to as the surface 23f) facing obliquely downward on the driver's seat 4 side. It is done.

Further, here, as shown in FIG. 2, the meter glass 23 has a curved surface shape that is curved so that the middle portion in the vertical direction of the surface 23f is concave in a side sectional view. In other words, the meter glass 23 has a concave shape that warps in the shape of a bow toward the front and upward of the vehicle with respect to a virtual line connecting the upper end 23a and the lower end 23b. With such a shape, external light does not directly enter the surface 23 f of the meter glass 23. On the other hand, since the meter glass 23 has such a shape, a focus region R _F described later is formed on the surface located below the meter main body 21.

  The driver's seat 4 is provided with a steering 3 for a driver to perform a steering operation of the vehicle. The steering 3 is provided in the instrument panel 1 below the meter 2, a steering shaft 31 protruding toward the driver's seat 4, a steering column 32 containing the steering shaft 31, and a tip of the steering shaft 31 on the driver's seat 4 side. And a steering wheel 33 attached to the vehicle. The steering shaft 31 and the steering column 32 extend obliquely upward from the instrument panel 1 toward the driver's seat 4 side. A column cover 34 that covers the steering column 32 is provided around the steering column 32.

  The column cover 34 is provided so as to cover the circumferential direction of the steering column 32 by combining an upper column cover 34 a that covers the left and right and upper sides of the steering column 32 and a lower column cover 34 b that covers the left and right and lower sides of the steering column 32. . As with the steering column 32, the column cover 34 extends so as to go obliquely upward toward the driver's seat 4 side.

  Here, the light reflection preventing structure of the meter glass 23 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 shows a conventional structure to which the present light reflection preventing structure is not applied, corresponding to FIG. 2 and 4 indicate a range when the driver seated on the driver's seat 4 sees the meter 2 (the driver's field of view), and the light reflected by the meter glass 23 is within this range. When entering, the reflected light enters the driver's field of view, the driver feels dazzled, and the visibility of the meter 2 decreases.

  First, a light reflection path when external light is incident on the upper surface 34f of the upper column cover 34a (hereinafter referred to as the cover upper surface 34f) will be described with reference to FIG. Of the external light that enters the vehicle interior through the windshield (not shown) from outside the vehicle compartment, the external light that is not blocked by the meter visor 22A hits the cover upper surface 34f or the steering wheel 33, for example. Among these, as indicated by the solid line arrow in FIG. 4, external light reflected by the cover upper surface 34 f may enter the meter glass 23 and may also be reflected by the surface 23 f of the meter glass 23 and enter the driver's field of view.

  The greatest factor of whether or not the external light incident on the cover upper surface 34f enters the driver's field of view is a region where the external light is incident on the cover upper surface 34f (a place where the external light hits). As indicated by thick solid arrows in FIG. 4, the external light A that is incident on the cover upper surface 34f slightly from the driver seat 4 side than the tip end (end portion on the driver seat 4 side) of the meter visor 22A is incident on the cover upper surface 34f. The reflected light enters the meter glass 23 and is reflected by the surface 23f of the meter glass 23 to form a reflection path X that enters the driver's field of view.

In this way, when the reflection path X that enters the driver's field of view by being reflected by the cover upper surface 34f and the meter glass 23 is formed, an area (reflection area) in which external light is first reflected on the cover upper surface 34f is defined as a focal area R. _F. As described above, the focal region R _F is formed by providing the meter glass 23 with its surface 23 f facing obliquely downward on the driver's seat 4 side, and its position is the same as the shape of the meter glass 23. A predetermined range is determined in advance according to the eye position E _P of the driver. Of course, since the position E _P of the driver's eyes and the incident external light also vary, the focal region R _F has a certain extent.

When external light is incident on the focal region R _F , the light reflected by the cover upper surface 34f is also reflected by the surface 23f of the meter glass 23 and enters the driver's eyes regardless of the incident angle of the external light. For example, as shown by the thin solid line arrow in FIG. 4, even when the angle of incidence than the external light A is slightly larger outside light B incident on the focal region R _F of the cover top surface 34f, reflected by the cover top surface 34f Then, a reflection path Y that hits the meter glass 23 and is reflected by the surface 23f of the meter glass 23 and enters the driver's field of view is formed.

Such a reflection path is not formed if the position of the focal region R _F falls within the shadow of the meter visor 22A. However, if the meter glass 23 is curved too much, the display portion of the meter 2 that can be seen from the driver is distorted. Therefore, the curved shape of the meter glass 23 is limited. Although it is conceivable to increase the protruding amount of the meter visor 22 </ b> A, there are still limitations in view of the visibility of the meter 2, the design of the entire meter 2, the operation work space of the steering wheel 33, and the like.

Therefore, in the present light reflection preventing structure, a partition 5 that covers the focal region R _F is provided on the cover upper surface 34f, so that external light does not enter the focal region R _F. That is, the screen 5 reflects the external light reflected by the cover upper surface 34f on the surface 23f of the meter glass 23 and blocks the light reflection path that enters the driver's field of view. The partition 5 is a member that is provided along the vehicle width direction of the column cover 34 and has a L-shaped longitudinal cross-sectional shape along the vehicle front-rear direction. The partition 5 has a vehicle width direction length equivalent to the column width of the column cover 34, and includes a shielding portion 51 that shades a focal region R _F formed on the cover upper surface 34 _f , and the partition 5 as a column cover 34. And an attachment portion 52 for attachment to the housing.

The shielding portion 51 is a portion that extends substantially parallel to the cover upper surface 34f at a position spaced upward from the focal region R _F and covers the focal region R _F from above so that the focal region R _F is always in a shaded state. is there. The attachment portion 52 is a portion that is bent downward (on the column cover 34 side) from the end of the shielding portion 51 on the driver's seat 4 side and extends substantially perpendicular to the cover upper surface 34f. Mounting portion 52, the shield portion 51 is spaced apart from the focal region R _F upward, a portion to shift the position where the external light is reflected from the focal region R _F upward.

[2. Action, effect]
Since the light reflection preventing structure of the meter glass 23 according to the present embodiment is configured as described above, the outside light that has not been blocked by the meter visor 22A out of the outside light that enters the vehicle interior via the windshield from the outside of the vehicle interior. Corresponds to the cover upper surface 34f, the partition 5 or the like as shown by a solid arrow in FIG. Even if the external light incident on the cover upper surface 34f is reflected by the cover upper surface 34f like the external light C, it does not enter the meter glass 23. Or even if it enters into meter glass 23, it does not enter into a driver's field of view. This is because when external light is incident on a portion of the cover upper surface 34f other than the focal region R _F , a light reflection path (for example, the reflection paths X and Y shown in FIG. 4) entering the driver's field of view is not formed. is there.

On the other hand, it is assumed that the external light incident on the upper surface of the screen 5 does not enter the meter glass 23 even if it is reflected by the upper surface of the shielding portion 51 of the screen 5 or is incident on the meter glass 23 like the external light D. Does not enter the driver's sight. This is because the entrance of external light to the focal region R _F is blocked by the screen 5. That is because since it is covered focus area R _F by screen 5, the first stage of the reflection path to be viewed in the driver (i.e., the step of entering the top of the cover 34f) is reflected path of light is blocked. In other words, external light that has entered the cover upper surface 34f by the screen 5 is prevented from being reflected by the focal region R _F , and a reflection path that is reflected by the cover upper surface 34f and the surface 23f of the meter glass 23 and enters the driver's field of view is formed. To prevent it.

Therefore, according to the light reflection preventing structure of the meter glass 23, the external light that is incident on and reflected from the cover upper surface 34f is reflected by the surface 23f of the meter glass 23 and enters the driver's field of view (for example, as shown in FIG. 4). With the simple structure of providing the screen 5 that covers the focal region R _F constituting the reflection path X, Y, etc., it is possible to block the incidence of external light to the focal region R _F formed on the cover upper surface 34f. As a result, it is possible to prevent external light that has entered the cover upper surface 34f from being reflected by the focal region R _F , and to prevent light reflected by the meter glass 23 from entering the driver's field of view. Visibility can be improved.

Also it has a shielding portion 51 which partition 5 is spaced upwardly from the focal region R _F, to a focal region R _F in shadow by the shield portion 51, to prevent reliably the reflection of light at the focal region R _F Can do. Further, since the shield portion 51 is spaced apart from the focal region R _F, ensures that can be shifted to a more upward the focal region R _F, external light reflected by the screen 5 is incident on the meter glass 23 Can be prevented.
Furthermore, according to the light reflection preventing structure according to the present embodiment, since the screen 5 is only added to the structure of the conventional column cover 34, the current product can be used and the cost can be suppressed.

[3. Others]
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
3A to 3C are modified examples of the light reflection preventing structure of the meter glass 23 according to the above-described embodiment. The same reference numerals as those in the above-described embodiment are used for the same structures as those in the above-described embodiment. A duplicate description will be omitted.

The first modification shown in FIG. 3A has the same configuration except that the shape of the partition 5 described in the above embodiment is different. As shown in FIG. 3A, the partition 6 of the present modification is provided on the cover upper surface 34f so as to be separated from the driver's seat 4 as the distance from the focal region R _F increases. The partition 6 is provided along the vehicle width direction of the column cover 34, and the longitudinal cross-sectional shape along the vehicle front-back direction is formed into a trapezoid. That is, the end of the attachment portion 62 attached to the cover upper surface 34f is formed obliquely and attached to the cover upper surface 34f obliquely.
The partition 6 has a shielding portion 61 provided continuously to the mounting portion 62 in front of and above the vehicle from the mounting portion 62. Shielding part 61 is provided at a distance above the focal region R _F, is provided in a position that always shaded focus area R _F.

According to such a light reflection preventing structure according to this modification, it is possible to prevent external light that has entered the cover upper surface 34f from being reflected by the focal region R _F , as in the above-described embodiment, so that the driver's field of view can be prevented. The light reflected by the surface 23f of the meter glass 23 can be prevented from entering, and the visibility of the meter 2 can be improved. Moreover, since this modification also adds the partition 6 to the conventional structure similarly to the said embodiment, the existing product can be diverted and cost can be suppressed. Furthermore, since the partition 6 of this modification only requires a small amount of upward projection from the cover upper surface 34f, the design can be improved without substantially blocking the driver's field of view.

The second modification shown in FIG. 3B has the same configuration as that of the above embodiment except that the shape of the partition 5 described in the above embodiment is different from that of the column cover 34. The column cover 34 ′ according to the present embodiment is provided with a recess 8 formed in a concave shape on the cover upper surface 34 _{f ′} , and the focal region R _F is formed inside the concave recess 8. Further, a partition 7 is provided in the vicinity of the upper end portion 8a of the depression 8 on the driver's seat 4 side so as to cover the depression 8, particularly the focal region R _F inside the depression 8.

The indentation 8 is an upper portion of the upper column cover 34a ′ and is provided along the vehicle width direction slightly forward of the vehicle (separated from the driver seat 4) from the boundary with the steering wheel 33. The indentation 8 is formed in a convex shape substantially downward from the cover upper surface 34f ′ toward the lower side (steering shaft 31 side), and the depth thereof is about the length from the central axis of the steering shaft 31 to the cover upper surface 34f ′. It is formed in half. As a result, the position of the cover upper surface 34 f ′ is shifted downward in the recess 8. The position and shape of the recess 8 are not limited to these, and any position and shape may be used as long as the focal region R _F is formed inside the recess 8.

The partition 7 is a member having a rectangular longitudinal cross-sectional shape along the vehicle front-rear direction having a length in the vehicle width direction equivalent to the length in the vehicle width direction of the recess 8. The partition 8 according to the present modification is provided immediately above the upper end portion 8a of the recess 8 so as to be substantially parallel to the cover upper surface 34f ', and a shielding portion that shades the focal region R _F formed inside the recess 8. 71. The shielding part 71 is provided at a position spaced upward from the focal region R _F inside the recess 8 and covers the focal region R _F from above.

  The partition 7 has a mounting portion 72 for attaching the partition 7 to the column cover 34 ′ at the end on the front side of the vehicle. The attachment portion 72 is attached to the corner of the cover upper surface 34f 'on the front side of the vehicle (the corner of the portion where the cover upper surface 34f' shifts downward) on the cover upper surface 34f '. Accordingly, the partition 7 is provided at a position where the upper surface thereof is shifted upward from the cover upper surface 34f ′ by the thickness of the partition 7.

According to such a light reflection preventing structure according to this modification, it is possible to prevent the external light incident on the cover upper surface 34f ′ from being reflected by the focal region R _F , as in the above-described embodiment. Thus, it is possible to prevent the light reflected by the surface 23f of the meter glass 23 from entering and improve the visibility of the meter 2.

Further, a recess 8 formed in a concave shape is provided on the cover upper surface 34 _f ′, and the focal region R _F is formed inside the concave shape of the recess 8, so that the height (up and down) of the partition 7 covering the focal region R _F is increased. It is not necessary to increase the (direction length), and the screen 7 can be made to hardly block the driver's field of view. That is, it is possible to prevent the partition 7 from getting in the way when the driver looks at the meter 2.

Furthermore Here, to cover the 8 recesses provided so as to be substantially parallel to the cover upper surface 34f 'on the upper end 8a of the partition 7 the recess 8, it is possible to cover surely the focal region R _F, partition 7 can be reduced from the upper surface 34f 'of the cover 7 so that the visual field of the driver is hardly obstructed and the design can be improved.

In the third modified example shown in FIG. 3C, the partition 5 described in the above embodiment is provided on the column cover 34 'of the second modified example shown in FIG. 3B.
According to such a light reflection preventing structure according to this modification, it is possible to prevent the external light incident on the cover upper surface 34f ′ from being reflected by the focal region R _F , as in the above-described embodiment. Thus, it is possible to prevent the light reflected by the surface 23f of the meter glass 23 from entering and improve the visibility of the meter 2. Furthermore, the light reflection preventing structure according to the present modification can maximize the distance between the focal region R _F and the shielding portion 51 by combining the depression 8 and the L-shaped screen 5 with a cross section. external light reflected by the screen 5 by shifting the R _F to a more upward can be reliably prevented from being incident on the meter glass 23.

The shape of the screen is not limited to those and the first modified example to third modified example of the embodiment may have a shape capable of covering the focal region R _F, which is formed by the meter glass 23. Further, the length of the partition in the vehicle width direction may not be formed equal to the length of the column covers 34 and 34 ′ in the vehicle width direction. For example, in consideration of the driver's line of sight, the column covers 34 and 34 ′ may be provided in a part of the vehicle width direction, or may be provided partially where external light is easily reflected. Thereby, a partition can be made into a compact structure.

Further, each of the partitions 5, 6, 7 described above is an example of a member that is separate from the column covers 34, 34 ', but the partitions are formed integrally with the column covers 34, 34'. There may be.
Moreover, although the said embodiment and each modification demonstrated the case where the meter 2 was provided in the front part of the driver's seat 4 of the instrument panel 1, the position of the meter 2 is not restricted to this, The driver's seat of the instrument panel 1 4 and a passenger seat may be provided. In this case, the partitions 5, 6, 7 and the recess 8 are provided on the upper surface of the portion of the meter bezel 22 positioned below the meter body 21 instead of the upper surfaces 34 f, 34 f ′ of the column covers 34, 34 ′. Further, the structure around the meter 2 and the driver's seat 4 described above is an example, and is not limited thereto. For example, the meter may not be a combination meter.
