Description

  The present invention relates to an in-vehicle device that is mounted in a vehicle interior of a vehicle and is used as a video playback device, a music playback device, a navigation device, or the like. The present invention relates to an in-vehicle device including a display having a display screen connected to a main body.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as an in-vehicle device that is mounted in a vehicle (automobile) cabin and used as a video playback device, a music playback device, a navigation device, or the like, for example, a console provided near the driver's seat in the vehicle cabin as shown in Patent Document 1 There is an in-vehicle device with a display installed on the panel. This type of in-vehicle device is attached by embedding the device main body in a storage box of a console panel. In such an embedded in-vehicle device, the size of the device depends on the size of the storage box. Therefore, the 2DIN size, which is the size of the storage box, is the mainstream.

  However, in the case of a 2DIN size embedded in-vehicle device, for example, the size of the display screen provided on the front panel (entire surface portion) of the device is within 7 inches that fits in the 2DIN size. If an operation switch or the like is arranged on the front panel of the apparatus, the display screen size is further reduced accordingly.

  Moreover, as an in-vehicle apparatus as described above, there is a conventional in-vehicle apparatus in which the apparatus main body and a display (display screen) are separated and the display is supported at a position protruding to the front side of the front panel of the apparatus main body. . As such a vehicle-mounted device, for example, there is a vehicle-mounted device disclosed in Patent Document 2. With this type of in-vehicle device, the size of the display screen can be set without being limited by the size of the front panel of the device main body, and thus a large screen display can be obtained.

  By the way, in an in-vehicle device that supports the display on the front side of the front panel of the device main body, a mounting bracket for attaching the display to the device main body is fixed to the front panel of the device main body with a fixing tool such as a screw. ing. Normally, the mounting bracket is attached by a procedure in which the apparatus main body is first housed in a storage box of the console panel and then the fixing bracket is attached to the front panel of the apparatus main body by fastening screws.

  However, when the screws are fastened, the display overlaps the front of the screws, so that the display can get in the way so that a long tool such as a screwdriver can be inserted from the front into the screw position. There is a problem that it is difficult to fasten the screw. Also, it is difficult to attach and remove parts other than screws, such as a cover member that is attached to the mounting bracket, because it is impossible to insert a hand or a finger holding them from the front side. In particular, in large displays, the front of the mounting brackets and screws is completely blocked by the display, so it is difficult to access the screws not only from the front but also from the front with a tool such as a screwdriver. Become.

  Therefore, conventionally, from the side of the apparatus body, a special tool such as an L-shaped driver is inserted into the gap between the mounting bracket and the display to access the screw and tighten the screw. However, this technique requires a specially shaped tool other than a normal screwdriver, and the tool can only be rotated little by little. There was a problem that it was necessary to tighten the screw, and work efficiency was poor. Further, since the cover member was attached with a hand or a finger inserted from the side of the apparatus main body, the workability of the attachment was not so good.

  The attachment portion 32b of the swinging portion 32 is configured to be able to attach either one or both of the right rotation restriction plate 45A and the left rotation restriction plate 45B. Therefore, by attaching only the right rotation restricting plate 45A to the attaching portion 32b, the rightward rotation of the rotating plate 44 is restricted. Further, by attaching only the left rotation restricting plate 45B to the attaching portion 32b, the leftward rotation of the rotating plate 44 is restricted. Furthermore, by attaching both the right rotation restriction plate 45A and the left rotation restriction plate 45B to the attachment portion 32b, both the rightward rotation and the leftward rotation of the rotation plate 44 are restricted.

  8 and 9 are diagrams for explaining the operation of the rotation mechanism 50. FIGS. 8 and 9 are views of the rotation mechanism 50 with the right rotation restriction plate 45A and the left rotation restriction plate 45B attached, respectively. It is a figure for demonstrating operation | movement. First, the operation of the rotation mechanism 50 with the right rotation restricting plate 45A attached will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 8A, in a state where the engaging protrusion 44a of the rotation mechanism 50 is located directly above the rotation plate 44, the display 20 is turned sideways. Hereinafter, this position is referred to as an initial position of the display 20. In this initial position, the left and right positions of the center M1 of the display 20 and the center (axial center) M2 of the cylindrical member 41 of the swinging portion 32 coincide with each other. Even if the display 20 is to be rotated to the right from this initial position, the movement of the engaging projection 44a of the rotating plate 44 in that direction is restricted by the right restricting piece 48a, so that the display 20 is rotated to the right. I can't. Accordingly, the display 20 can be rotated only to the left. When the display 20 is rotated leftward, the engaging projection 44a of the rotating mechanism 50 passes through the position of 45 degrees obliquely on the upper left of the rotating plate 44, and finally rotates as shown in FIG. The engagement protrusion 44a of the mechanism 50 is located on the left side of the rotation plate 44, and the engagement protrusion 44a comes into contact with the engagement protrusion 43a1 at that position and the rotation of the rotation plate 44 is stopped. In this position, the display 20 is oriented vertically with the engagement protrusion 44a rotated 90 degrees to the left from the initial position in FIG. At this position, the center M1 of the display 20 is shifted to the left side with respect to the center M2 of the cylindrical member 41 of the apparatus main body 10. Accordingly, the display 20 is supported in a vertical direction at a position that is biased to the left side of the center with respect to the apparatus main body 10.

  Further, by setting the display 20 to the position shown in FIG. 8B (the vertical position on the left side), the right attached portion 17 provided on the front panel 11 of the apparatus main body 10 and the right attachment piece attached thereto. The base 31 a of 31 and the screw 37 that fixes the base 31 a are in a state that can be seen from the front of the apparatus main body 10 and the display 20. That is, the display 20 does not overlap the base 31 a of the right mounting piece 31 and the front of the screw 37. Thereby, in the process of attaching the vehicle-mounted device 1 to be described later to the console panel 100 of the vehicle 1, when fastening the screw 37 for fixing the right attachment piece 31, the fastening work is performed with the front of the screw 37 opened. Can do.

  Next, operation | movement of the rotation mechanism 50 in the state which attached the left rotation control board 45B using FIG. 9 is demonstrated. In this case, even if an attempt is made to rotate the display 20 leftward from the initial position where the display 20 shown in FIG. 9A is in the horizontal direction, the movement of the engaging protrusion 44a of the rotating plate 44 in that direction is left-controlling piece 48b. Therefore, the display 20 cannot be rotated to the left. Therefore, the display 20 can be rotated only to the right in the figure from the initial position of FIG. Thus, when the display 20 is rotated to the right, the engagement protrusion 44a of the rotation mechanism 50 passes through a position 45 degrees diagonally right above the rotation plate 44, and finally, as shown in FIG. Then, the engagement protrusion 44a of the rotation mechanism 50 is located on the right side of the rotation plate 44, and the engagement protrusion 44a abuts on the engagement protrusion 43a2 at that position, and the rotation of the rotation plate 44 stops. In this position, the display 20 is oriented vertically. At this position, the center M1 of the display 20 is shifted to the right side from the center M2 of the cylindrical member 41 of the apparatus main body 10. Therefore, the display 20 is supported in the vertical direction at a position that is offset to the right side of the center with respect to the apparatus main body 10.

  Then, by setting the display 20 to the position shown in FIG. 9B, the left mounted portion 17 provided on the front panel 11 of the apparatus main body 10 and the base portion 31a of the left mounting piece 31 attached thereto and the A screw 37 for fixing the base portion 31a is visible from the front of the apparatus main body 10 and the display 20. That is, the display 20 does not overlap the base 31 a of the left mounting piece 31 and the front of the screw 37. Thereby, in the process of attaching the vehicle-mounted device 1 to be described later to the console panel 100 of the vehicle 1, when fastening the screw 37 for fixing the left attachment piece 31, the fastening work is performed with the front of the screw 37 opened. Can do.

  Although detailed illustration is omitted, when both the right rotation restriction plate 45A and the left rotation restriction plate 45B are attached to the attachment portion 32b, the right restriction piece 48a and the left rotation restriction plate 45B of the right rotation restriction plate 45A. Since the left restricting piece 48b is sandwiched between the left and right sides of the engaging projection 44a of the rotating plate 44, the rotating plate 44 does not rotate to the left or right. Therefore, the rotation mechanism 50 does not function, and the display 20 is fixed in the horizontal direction at the initial position.

  Next, a procedure for attaching the in-vehicle device 1 having the above configuration to the console panel 100 of the vehicle will be described. 10 to 12 are diagrams for explaining the attachment procedure. The in-vehicle device 1 before being attached to the console panel 100 is in a state where the device main body 10 and the display 20 are separated by removing the screws 37 that fix the left and right attachment pieces 31. Further, both the right rotation restricting plate 45A and the left rotation restricting plate 45B are removed. Thereby, the display 20 is rotated by the rotation mechanism 50 from the horizontal position to both the vertical position on the right side (position shown in FIG. 9B) and the vertical position on the left side (position shown in FIG. 8B). It is possible.

  In this state, in order to attach the in-vehicle device 1 to the console panel 100 of the vehicle, first, only the device main body 10 is accommodated in the accommodation box 101 of the console panel 100 and attached. Then, the display 20 is attached to the apparatus main body 10 by fixing the left and right attachment pieces 31 to the front panel 11 of the apparatus main body 10 accommodated in the accommodation box 101. At this time, the orientation of the display 20 is first set to the right vertical orientation by the rotation mechanism 50 in advance. Then, as shown in FIG. 10, the display 20 is arranged on the front side of the front panel 11 of the apparatus main body 10 by applying the base portion 31 a of the attachment piece 31 to the attached portion 17 provided on the front panel 11 of the apparatus main body 10. . In this state, as shown in FIG. 11, the base 31 a is fixed to the attached portion 17 by fastening a plurality of screws (three in the drawing) 37. At this time, the display 20 is arranged in the vertical position on the left side shown in FIG. 8B, so that the right attached portion 17 and the base portion 31a of the right attachment piece 31 attached thereto and the base portion 31a are arranged. The display 20 does not overlap the front of the screw 37 to be fixed. Accordingly, when the screw 37 for fixing the right mounting piece 31 is fastened, a tool such as a screwdriver (not shown) can be engaged with the screw 37 from the front of the screw 37 and rotated. And the screw 37 can be fastened only by the work from the front side of the display 20. Therefore, it becomes very easy to fix the mounting piece 31 with fastening of the screw 37.

  When the fixing operation of the right attachment piece 31 by fastening the screw 37 is completed, the right side cover 38 is subsequently attached. In order to attach the side cover 38, as shown in FIG. 12, first, the base portion 38 a of the side cover 38 is put on the attachment portion 17 and the base portion 31 a of the attachment piece 31. At that time, the claw portion (locking claw) 38 c of the side cover 38 is hooked and engaged with the groove portion 17 c provided in the attached portion 17, and the base portion 38 a is put on the base portion 31 a of the attachment piece 31 in this state. Thereafter, the cover portion 38 b of the side cover 38 is put on the attachment portion 31 b of the attachment piece 31. In this way, the side cover 38 is attached in a state where it covers the entire attachment piece 31.

  Here, the display 20 is in the left vertical position, so that the front of the right mounting piece 31 is open. Therefore, the side cover 38 can also be attached from the front of the apparatus main body 10 and the display 20. Therefore, the base portion 38a of the side cover 38 can be attached to the attached portion 17 of the front panel 11 by pushing it with a finger from the front (front side). Further, in order to remove the side cover 38, it is necessary to release the engagement of the claw portion 38c engaged with the groove portion 17c, but this operation can also be performed from the front of the front panel 11. As a result, the operation of attaching and removing the side cover 38 becomes very easy.

  Although detailed illustration and description are omitted, attachment and detachment of the left attachment piece 31 and the side cover 38 can be performed in the same procedure as described above. That is, in that case, the display 20 is rotated by the rotation mechanism 50 to switch to the right vertical position shown in FIG. Thereby, since the front of the screw 37 and the left side cover 38 for fixing the left mounting piece 31 is opened, the mounting piece 31 and the side cover 38 can be easily attached by fixing the screw 37. Can do.

  As described above, according to the in-vehicle device 1 of the present embodiment, the display 20 is rotated by the rotation mechanism 50, so that the display 20 can be opened forward so that the display 20 does not overlap the position of the screw 37 in the mounting piece 31. Therefore, when fastening the screw 37 for fixing the mounting piece 31, the display 20 is rotated to the front open state, so that the screw 37 is in a state where the display 20 does not overlap the front of the screw 37. Can be concluded. Thereby, a screwdriver 37 can be engaged with the screw 37 from the front, and the screw can be tightened by turning the screwdriver in this state. Therefore, attachment of the attachment piece 31 with fastening of the screw 37 can be performed in a simple operation and in a short time. Further, since the screw 37 can be fastened with only a general-purpose tool such as a normal screwdriver, no special tool is required. Therefore, the efficiency of the work of attaching the display 20 to the apparatus main body 10 can be improved.

  Further, by rotating the display 20 with the rotation mechanism 50, the front surface of the side cover 38 can be opened, so that the side cover 38 and the claw portion 38c can be operated from the front surface side of the apparatus body 10, and the side cover The operation of attaching or removing 38 becomes very easy. Therefore, it is possible to easily attach the side cover 38 accompanied by the locking of the claw portion 38c or remove the side cover 38 accompanied by the release of the locking of the claw portion 38c.

  Moreover, according to the vehicle-mounted device 1 of the present embodiment, the display 20 can be rotated 90 degrees in the left-right direction by using the rotation mechanism 50 of the connecting portion 30. Accordingly, even if the visibility and operability of the hazard switch 107 are hindered at the position of the display 20 in the horizontal direction (position shown in FIG. 1), as shown in FIG. By rotating to the vertical direction, it is possible to ensure the visibility and operability of the hazard switch 107. Further, in the initial position of the horizontal display 20, when it interferes with the select lever 109 (even if the select lever 109 and the display 20 do not interfere directly, the operator's hand hits the display 20 when operating the select lever 109, etc.) Even when the operation is hindered, it is possible to avoid the interference with the select lever 109 by rotating the display 20 in the left-right direction to the vertical direction. Or, for example, when the initial position of the horizontal display 20 does not interfere with the select lever 109, but interferes with the select lever 109 only at the position rotated to the right (the position shown in FIG. 9B), it is attached in advance. A right rotation restricting plate 45A is attached to the portion 32b. This restricts the display 20 from rotating to the right and allows only the display 20 to rotate to the left. Therefore, the operator accidentally rotates the display 20 to the right and the select lever 109 is rotated. Can be reliably prevented from interfering with.

  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 within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims and the specification and drawings. Deformation is possible. For example, the in-vehicle device 1 of the above embodiment has shown a case where both the rotation mechanism that rotatably supports the display 20 within the plane of the display screen and the swing mechanism 40 that swings the display in the vertical direction are shown. The in-vehicle device of the present invention may be configured to include only a rotation mechanism. In addition, the specific configuration of the rotation mechanism 50 is an example, and the rotation mechanism 50 of the present invention may have another configuration as long as it supports the display so as to be rotatable in the plane of the display screen.
