Hereinafter, the vehicle-mounted device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. The vehicle-mounted device of this embodiment is applied to a vehicle-mounted unit provided on the instrument panel. The in-vehicle unit has functional units such as a blower device and an in-vehicle camera.
(First embodiment)

  The vehicle-mounted device of the first embodiment is applied to a vehicle-mounted unit having a blower device. Conventionally, in-vehicle devices such as a digital tachograph and a panel meter mounted on a vehicle perform an alarm operation by an alarm (voice) or a warning light (light) when alerting the current driving state.

  However, although the alarm action notified from the conventional on-board device appeals to the driver's hearing and vision, it is not much different from the alarm used in daily life, and the driver gets used to such alarm action, and the alarm action However, there is a possibility that the driver does not encourage safe driving and the driving condition cannot be improved.

  The vehicle-mounted unit, which is the vehicle-mounted device of the first embodiment, alerts the driver with an alert by applying wind discharged from the blower device to the driver's face or the like as a warning operation when performing alerting or the like. I was able to feel it.

  FIG. 1A is a front view showing an external appearance around the instrument panel 20 of the vehicle in the first embodiment. A windshield 10, a front mirror 13, an instrument panel 20, various display groups 30, a handle 50, and the like are arranged in the passenger compartment as viewed from the driver's seat side.

  The various display groups 30 are installed on the instrument panel 20 and are in a position that is easy to see from the driver 55 (see FIG. 1B) through the inside of the handle 50. A blindfold panel 40 is disposed on the center front surface of the instrument panel 20. As will be described later, the blindfold panel 40 constitutes a part of the in-vehicle unit 45 (see FIG. 2A). Further, on both sides of the blindfold panel 40, meter panels 31 such as a speedometer 31A and an engine speed meter 31B are arranged.

  A pair of liquid crystal displays 36 and 38 are arranged on both sides of the blindfold panel 40. The liquid crystal displays 36 and 38 display information such as battery voltage, odometer, engine speed meter, and fuel meter.

  A high mount display 34 is disposed on the upper surface of the instrument panel 20. The high mount display 34 displays an image of a direction indicator, for example. Further, a head-up display 35 that projects toward the windshield 10 is disposed on the upper surface of the instrument panel 20 adjacent to the windshield 10.

  FIG. 1B is a partially broken cross-sectional view showing the vicinity of the instrument panel 20 when the driver's seat side passenger compartment shown in FIG. 1A is viewed from the side. A recessed portion 22 that is inclined obliquely is formed on the center front surface of the instrument panel 20. A blower device 48 is accommodated on the bottom surface of the recess 22. The blindfold panel 40 is attached so as to cover the inlet (peripheral edge) 22a of the recess 22.

  FIG. 2A is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the in-vehicle unit 45. The in-vehicle unit 45 includes a blower device 48 and a blind panel 40. A blower device 48 is disposed on the bottom surface of the recess 22 formed obliquely from the surface of the instrument panel 20. Note that FIG. 2A is schematically illustrated for easy understanding of the description. The direction M of the air blown from the blower device 48 is a direction along the inclination direction of the recess 22.

  FIG. 2B is a view showing the shape of the blindfold panel 40 attached to the instrument panel 20 so as to cover the inlet 22 a of the recess 22. An infinite number of pores 41 are formed in the blindfold panel 40. The opening of the pore 41 is circular.

  The blindfold panel 40 prevents the blower device 48 accommodated in the recess 22 from being seen by the occupant. In the present embodiment, the blindfold panel 40 is formed of a metal material such as aluminum, stainless steel, or alloy, but may be formed of a resin material such as acrylic or fiber reinforced plastic.

  The inner wall of the pore 41 formed in the blindfold panel 40 is inclined toward the driver's seat with respect to the thickness direction of the blindfold panel 40 in order to guide the wind sent from the blower device 48 to the face of the driver sitting in the driver's seat. doing. The inclination angle of the pore 41 with respect to the thickness t direction of the blindfold panel 40 is a small value on the driver's seat side and a large value on the windshield 10 side. In addition, in the location which faces the driver's seat among the surfaces of the blindfold panel 40, the inclination angle of the pore 41 may be 0 °. That is, being inclined means including 0 °.

  The pores 41 formed in the blindfold panel 40 guide the direction of the wind sent out from the blower 48 in one direction and play the following role. That is, it also functions as a member that acts as a ridge so that sunlight incident from the windshield 10 does not enter the recess 22 via the blindfold panel 40. Thereby, in the normal use state, since the concave portion 22 is covered with the blindfold panel 40 and sunlight from the windshield 10 does not enter the concave portion 22, the concave portion 22 becomes darker than the passenger compartment, and as a result, From the passenger, the blower device 48 housed in the recess 22 becomes even less visible.

The inclination angle of the pore 41 will be described in detail. FIG. 3A is a diagram for explaining how to determine the inclination angle of the pore 41, and FIG. 3B is an enlarged view of the vicinity of the pore 41. In the windshield 10, an uppermost point Fa of a range F where sunlight enters the vehicle interior is assumed. Usually, the uppermost point Fa coincides with the uppermost point of the windshield 10. Moreover, the upper end point 41a which hits the windshield side of the pore 41 and the lower end point 41b which hits the driver's seat side are assumed.
A line connecting the lower end point 41b and the upper end point 41a of the pore 41 is defined as a line L1, and a point that extends the line L1 and intersects the windshield 10 is defined as a point La. It is desirable to set the inclination angle of the pore 41 so that the intersecting point La is larger than the uppermost point Fa, that is, located outside the range F. If there is a point La inside the range F, the sunlight transmitted through the range F will be irradiated to the blower device 48 via the blindfold panel 40.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the blower device 48 is installed in the recess 22 is described. However, when a device including a light emitting element such as an LED light source is installed in the recess 22, the pore 41 is formed in the above-described manner. By designing as described above, it is possible not only to make it difficult for the passenger to see the device, but also to prevent the light from the light emitting element from being reflected on the windshield 10.

  Further, the inclination angle of the pores 41 changes depending on the positional relationship between the windshield 10 and the blindfold panel 40 and the orientation of the surface of the blindfold panel 40. For example, on the side close to the windshield 10, since the distance in the horizontal direction between the pore 41 and the uppermost point Fa is increased, the inclination angle increases. That is, the pores 41 formed in the blindfold panel 40 are formed so that the inclination angle is small on the driver seat side and the inclination angle is large on the windshield 10 side. Note that changing the inclination angle of each of the pores 41 takes time and effort, so it is possible to group a large number of pores 41 in advance and change the inclination angle in units of groups. Good.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a hardware configuration centering on a control device 52 that controls the in-vehicle unit 45 arranged on the instrument panel 20. The control device 52 is configured by an ECU (Electronic Control Unit). In addition to the various display groups 30 described above, the control device 52 is connected to a blower device 48, a speed sensor 56, an inter-vehicle distance sensor 57, an in-vehicle camera 58, a speaker 59, an operation switch (SW) 53, and the like.
The speed sensor 56 detects the speed of the vehicle. The inter-vehicle distance sensor 57 transmits and receives infrared rays, measures the distance to the object, and detects the approach to the host vehicle. In addition, the structure by which the approach to the own vehicle is detected by analyzing the image imaged with the camera may be sufficient. Further, the inter-vehicle distance sensor 57 is not limited to the front and rear of the vehicle, and a plurality of inter-vehicle distance sensors 57 may be provided so as to be able to detect the approach to the own vehicle in the left-right direction.

  The in-vehicle camera 58 is a camera that images the interior of the vehicle, and is installed at an arbitrary location. The speaker 59 emits sounds such as driving information, alarms, music, etc. according to the sound data output from the control device 52. The operation SW 53 is used for various switch inputs by the driver.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the blower device 48. A blower, a compressor, or the like can be used for the blower device 48. Moreover, an axial fan, a sirocco fan, etc. are mentioned as an air blower. Moreover, a blower fan is mentioned as a compressor. FIG. 5A is a view showing an axial fan 48 </ b> A as an example of the blower 48. The axial flow fan 48A sends out wind by rotating a plurality of blades. The pressure ratio of the axial fan 48A is relatively small. FIG. 5B is a diagram showing a compressor 48B as an example of the blower 48. The compressor 48B compresses air (introduction air) sucked from, for example, a suction port at the back, and discharges spot wind (compressed air) from the front discharge port.

  As described above, the blower device 48 is accommodated in the recess 22 formed in the center front surface of the instrument panel 20 on the driver's seat side, and is disposed over the handle (steering) 50 when viewed from the driver's seat side. . Accordingly, the air blown from the blower device 48 passes through the space inside the handle 50 toward the vicinity of the driver's face.

  The operation of the in-vehicle unit 45 having the above configuration will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an alarm operation procedure. The ECU 52 detects the driving state of the vehicle using signals obtained from the speed sensor 56, the inter-vehicle distance sensor 57, and the like (S1). The ECU 52 determines whether or not to perform an alarm operation such as alerting based on the driving state of the vehicle (S2). When the driving state is not necessary to perform the alarm operation, the ECU 52 returns to the process of step S1. Here, the driving state in which an alarm operation such as alerting is performed is, for example, a case where the speed detected by the speed sensor 56 exceeds the speed limit.

  When the alarm operation is performed in step S <b> 2, the ECU 52 drives the blower device 48 and blows air from the blower device 48 as the alarm operation. As described above, the air blown from the blower device 48 during the alarm operation passes through the space inside the handle 50 and strikes the vicinity of the face of the driver sitting in the driver's seat. When the wind hits the skin, the driver becomes aware of the alarm action.

  Thereafter, the ECU 52 detects the driving state of the vehicle again (S4). As a result of this detection, it is determined whether or not an alarm operation is unnecessary (S5). When the driving state is not improved and the alarm action is still necessary, the ECU 52 returns to the process of step S3.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S5 that the operating state has been improved and the alarm operation is unnecessary, the ECU 52 stops driving the blower device 48 and stops blowing air from the blower device 48 (S6). Thereafter, the ECU 52 ends this operation.

  In the in-vehicle unit 45, the blower device 48 blows air through innumerable pores 41 formed in the blindfold panel 40. The wind sent out through the blindfold panel 40 strikes the driver's face through the space inside the handle 50. The driver is surprised at the unexpectedness by feeling the wind hitting the skin such as the face, and knows that the alarm operation is being performed.

  In this way, by applying wind to the vicinity of the driver's face, the driver can be surprised and the alarm operation can be surely noticed. That is, the driver can be made aware of the alarm operation. Moreover, when arrange | positioning a vehicle-mounted unit to an instrument panel, the appearance can be ensured. That is, since the blower device is hidden inside the blindfold panel, the aesthetic appearance of the instrument panel can be ensured. In addition, warnings such as alerts can be easily transmitted to the driver, and the driver can encourage safe driving, thereby contributing to safe driving.

In the above embodiment, the air volume is constant in step S3. However, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of air blowing, the air volume may be increased in the middle to increase the degree of alarm. In addition, the wind sent from the blower is the same as the temperature in the passenger compartment, but when the air conditioner is on, a cold wind that is branched and sent from the air conditioner may be used. Further, wind heated by a heater or the like may be sent out. As a result, the driver feels more surprise and becomes aware of the alarm operation.
(Modification)

  FIG. 7 is a partially broken cross-sectional view showing the vicinity of the instrument panel 20 when the passenger compartment on the driver's seat side in the modification is viewed from the side. FIG. 7A is a view showing the vicinity of the instrument panel 20A when the vehicle interior on the driver's seat side is viewed from the side. A meter hood 21 is formed on the front surface of the instrument panel 20A on the driver's seat side.

  Further, unlike the first embodiment, no recess is formed on the front surface of the instrument panel 20A. The in-vehicle unit 45A is an integrated unit having a blindfold panel 40A attached to the front surface of the blower device 48C. As described above, the inclination angle of the pores 41A formed on the surface of the blindfold panel 40A is set so that the sunlight from the windshield 10 is not irradiated to the blower device 48C, and wind is generated in the vicinity of the driver's face. Set in the direction to go.

FIG. 7B is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of the in-vehicle unit 45A. The in-vehicle unit 45 </ b> A has a structure in which a blind panel 40 </ b> A is fixed to the front surface of the blower device 48. For example, by hooking a hook portion 40z protruding from the back side of the blindfold panel 40A to a locking portion 48z formed on the side surface of the casing of the blower device 48C, the blindfold panel 40A is fixed to the front surface of the blower device 48C. A female screw is formed on the back of the blindfold panel, and the front of the blower is fixed to the back of the blindfold by screwing with a male screw so that the screw hole formed in the flange of the blower is inserted. May be. This fixing method is not particularly limited.
(Second Embodiment)

FIG. 8B is a diagram showing the arrangement of the in-vehicle camera 58 and the blower device 48 accommodated in the recess 22 whose entrance 22a is covered by the blindfold panel 40A.

  The in-vehicle unit 45 </ b> A includes an in-vehicle camera 58 and a blower device 48. The in-vehicle camera 58 can image the vicinity of the face of the driver sitting in the driver's seat through the blindfold panel 40 through the steering wheel. The blower device 48 has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment and is arranged in substantially the same manner. The imaging range of the in-vehicle camera 58 is not limited to the vicinity of the driver's face, but a predetermined area is set according to the application.

  In the in-vehicle unit 45A of the second embodiment, the in-vehicle camera 58 and the blower device 48 are used when performing an alarm operation such as alerting. The hardware configuration centering on the control device 52 is the same as that of the first embodiment.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an alarm operation procedure. About the same step process as FIG. 6 of the said 1st Embodiment, the description is abbreviate | omitted by attaching | subjecting the same step number, and a different step process is demonstrated here.

  In step S3, the ECU 52 activates the blower device 48 and starts blowing toward the vicinity of the driver's face, and then images the vicinity of the driver's face using the in-vehicle camera 58 (S4A). The ECU 52 determines whether the driver has changed from the captured image (S5A).

  As an example, a known gaze detection technique is used to determine whether or not the driver's gaze is moving as necessary to improve the driving state. For example, if there is an alarm action because the speed is over, whether or not the driver has changed by checking whether or not the driver's line of sight has been directed to the speedometer for a predetermined number of times or time after blowing in step S3. Determine whether.

  If there is no change in the driver, the ECU 52 returns to the process of step S3. On the other hand, when there is a change in the driver, the ECU 52 turns off the blower device 48 and stops blowing (S6).

  In this in-vehicle unit 45A, after the blower device 48 blows air through the blindfold panel 40A, the in-vehicle camera 58 images the vicinity of the driver's face through the blindfold panel 40A. The wind blown through the blindfold panel 40A hits the driver's face through the space inside the handle 50. The driver is surprised at the unexpectedness by feeling the wind hitting the skin such as the face, and knows that the alarm operation is being performed.

  In this way, the blower device and the in-vehicle camera, which are hidden by the blindfold panel, operate in a coordinated manner, so that the driver can be made aware of the alarm operation. Moreover, when arrange | positioning a vehicle-mounted unit to an instrument panel, the appearance can be ensured. That is, since the blower device and the vehicle-mounted camera are hidden inside the blindfold panel, the aesthetic appearance of the instrument panel can be ensured.

  Note that the driver's face image may be displayed on the display when the alarm action is being performed, and the driver's face image is suddenly displayed on the display, thus impacting the driver's alarm action. May be.
