DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an in-vehicle television incorporated in a dashboard of a vehicle such as a passenger car.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are tuners, tape decks, CD players, and the like as car stereos mounted on vehicles.
These are mounted on a console box or the like according to options or vehicle grades.

In recent years, liquid crystal televisions, which have advantages such as small size and thinness, have been enhanced, and their popularity has been increasing in place of cathode ray tube televisions because they are more affordable.

However, in many passenger cars, there is no space for installing a liquid crystal television, not limited to a CRT television. For example, when an LCD television is installed in a vehicle cabin, a dedicated mounting on a dashboard is required. It is mounted using metal fittings or mounted near the shift knob using a dedicated mounting arm.

[0005] However, in such a mounting method, if the liquid crystal television fixed and mounted by a special bracket or a special arm is simply installed in a vehicle interior, it is often the case that the liquid crystal television is exposed to a hot summer sun. In such a case, there is a great risk that the liquid crystal display unit may be deformed by heat and may significantly impair the display function of the liquid crystal television.

[0006] In order to solve such a problem,
For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2-31577 discloses an in-vehicle television in which a liquid crystal television is incorporated in a dashboard as shown in FIGS.

That is, a box-shaped casing 2 for housing the television body 1 is installed inside the dashboard D.
A feed mechanism 3 that allows the television body 1 to move forward and backward is provided inside the casing 2. A support mechanism (not shown) is provided at the lower end of the television main body 1, and the feed mechanism 3 is connected via the support mechanism.

In use, after manually pulling out the television main body 1 from the inside of the casing 2 (see FIG. 2), the television body 1 is raised up to an appropriate angle using the support mechanism as a fulcrum (see FIG. 3). On the other hand, in the case of transmission control, when a drawer start button (not shown) is operated, the feed mechanism 3
The television body 1 is driven from within the casing 2 by the
Is sent out (see FIG. 2), and then the television body 1 is rotated to a predetermined angle via the support mechanism (see FIG. 3).

When the television main body 1 is not used, the television main body 1 is pushed down into the casing 2 after the television main body 1 is horizontally lowered via the support mechanism. On the other hand, according to the transmission control, when the pull-back start button (not shown) is operated, the television main body 1 is tilted horizontally via the support mechanism, and then the television main body 1 is returned into the casing 2 by the feed mechanism 3. It is.

Thus, when not in use, the television main body 1 is housed in the casing 2 inside the dashboard D, so that not only the storage space is secured but also it is not exposed to the hot summer sun. This eliminates the problem that the liquid crystal display is deformed by heat.

[0011]

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional on-vehicle television, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3,
The lower end of the television main body 1 is connected to the feed mechanism 3 via a support mechanism, and after the television main body 1 is turned to a position where it can be easily viewed, the lower end is locked by frictional force or engagement of pins and claws. Is simply placed in a rotation blocking state.

For this reason, there is some allowance between the lower end of the television main body 1 and the feed mechanism 3 via the support mechanism, so that the TV main body 1 is loose when the vehicle is running. For example, there is a problem in that the liquid crystal display unit that provides navigation information becomes difficult to see due to blurring.

If the rattled state of the television body 1 is repeated for a long period of time, for example, the support state between the lower end of the television body 1 and the feed mechanism 3 becomes incomplete, and as a result, the television Body 1
It is also anticipated that the feeding and retraction operations will not be performed smoothly.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and provides an in-vehicle television capable of reliably preventing rattling when the television body is pushed out of the casing. Aim.

The casing 10 is provided with an opening 13 serving as an entrance and exit of the television body 20. The casing 10 has a size determined by the DIN standard.

A function button (not shown) for performing channel selection, volume adjustment, brightness adjustment, and the like is provided on a side surface of the television body 20. The television main body 20 is provided with a liquid crystal display unit 21 and a casing 10.
In the state where the liquid crystal display unit 21 is housed inside, the liquid crystal display unit 21 is directed downward. The edge 23 of the TV main body 20 is formed in an R shape, so that the rotation at a position immediately before the TV main body 20 is completely pushed out of the casing 10 is smoothly performed as described later. I have.

The support mechanism 30 has a sub-casing 31. Rollers 33 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the sub casing 31 via support members 32. A guide member 14 is provided on the inner surface of the casing 10.
Extends horizontally. Each roller 33 is placed on the guide member 14. Thereby, the sub-casing 31 is slidable inside the casing 10.
A support arm 34 is disposed opposite to the distal end of the sub casing 31. The television body 20 is rotatably mounted between the support arms 34.

On one side of the upper end surface of the sub-casing 31,
An optical sensor 70 is attached. At a position corresponding to the optical sensor 70 on the inner surface of the casing 10, a sheet-shaped position detecting member 71 is attached. Sub casing 31

The driving force of the feed drive motor 41 is transmitted to the pinion gear 43 via transmission gears 42a to 42f.

On the casing 10 side, rack gears 11,
12 are provided flat. The pinion gear 43 meshes with the rack gear 11. The pinion gear 44 meshes with the rack gear 12. The pinion gears 43 and 44 are connected via a shaft 45. Feed drive motor 4
When the first driving force is transmitted to the pinion gear 43, the sub casing 31 slides. At this time, the driving force transmitted to the pinion gear 43 is transmitted to the pinion gear 44 via the shaft 45, so that the sub casing 31 slides properly.

A sense switch 46 for sensing the rotation start position after the television body 20 has been sent out to a predetermined position is attached to the tip end side of the casing 10. A contact member (not shown) that comes into contact with the sense switch 46 when the sub-casing 31 is sent out by a predetermined amount and turns it on is attached to the side surface of the sub-casing 31.

The sensor for sensing the sending position of the television body 20 to a predetermined position is not limited to a mechanical sensor as in this example, but may be another sensor such as an optical sensor. . Further, the rotation may be started when a predetermined amount is detected based on the detection amount of the horizontal movement by the optical sensor 70.

The turning mechanism 50 is provided with a turning drive motor 51 for applying a turning force for turning the television body 20 pushed out of the casing 10 to an easy-to-view angle. A worm gear 52 is attached to a drive shaft of the rotation drive motor 51. A large gear 53 that meshes with the rotating fan-shaped gears 22 and 23 provided on the television main body 20 is rotatably disposed on the distal end side of the sub casing 31. The large gear 53 is provided for each of the fan gears 22 and 2.
3, each large gear 53 has a shaft 53

The screw portion 82a at the other end of the support shaft 82
The gear 8 that applies a sliding force to the support shaft 82
5 are engaged. As will be described later, the gear 85 is driven when the rotation of the television body 20 is completed and the start of the pushing back of the television body 20 into the casing 10 is detected.
The pressing force of the contact plate 83 against the casing 10 can be changed by changing the material of the contact plate 83 and the strength of the spring 84.

Next, the basics of the on-vehicle television having the above configuration will be described.
Operation will be described. First, when a start switch (not shown) that prompts the television main body 20 to be pulled out of the casing 10 is operated, the feed driving motor 4 of the feed mechanism 40 is operated.
1 is driven. The driving force of the feed drive motor 41 is transmitted to the pinion gear 43 via a worm gear 42 and transmission gears 42a to 42f attached to the drive shaft. The driving force transmitted to the pinion gear 43 is transmitted to the pinion gear 44 via the shaft 45. When the pinion gears 43 and 44 rotate, the sub-casing 31 is sent out toward the opening 13 by the meshing force with the rack gears 11 and 12.

At this time, the optical sensor 70 attached to the sub-casing 31 detects the modulated reflected light from the sheet-like position detecting member 71 attached to the inner surface of the casing 10, and thereby the sub-casing 31 Is detected.

The sub-casing 31 is composed of a feed drive motor 4
When the drive force is sent to, for example, the opening 13 shown in FIG. 9, the contact member attached to the sub-casing 31 contacts the sense switch 46 attached to the casing 10. This position is a position immediately before the television main body 20 is completely pushed out of the casing 10, and is a position that does not hinder the rotation of the television main body 20.

Thus, the rotation start position of the television body 20 is detected, and the rotation drive motor 5 of the rotation mechanism 50 is detected.
1 is driven. The driving force of the rotation drive motor 51 is transmitted to the large gear 53 via the worm gear 52 and transmission gears 54a to 54f attached to the drive shaft.
The driving force transmitted to one large gear 53 is also transmitted to the other large gear 53 via the shaft 53a.

When each of the large gears 53 rotates and the fan-shaped gears 22 and 23 meshing with the large gears 53 rotate, the television body 20 is rotated.
Rotates.

At this time, since the edge 23a of the television main body 20 is formed in an R shape, the edge 23a of the television main body 20 can be smoothly rotated without contacting the casing 10. At this time, the transmission gear 5
The rotation angle discrimination gear 55 meshing with 4f rotates in synchronization with the rotation of the television body 20, and the discrimination plate 56 also rotates. The rotation amount of the television main body 20 is detected by the optical sensor 58 attached to the sub-casing 31 taking in the reflected light modulated by the rotation of the discrimination plate 56.

When the television main body 20 is rotated to a preset angle, for example, it is detected by the detection result of the optical sensor 58, and the driving of the rotation drive motor 51 is stopped.

Immediately before or immediately after the rotation of the television body 20 is stopped, an optical sensor 70 attached to the upper end surface of the sub-casing 31 is modulated by a sheet-like position detecting member 71 attached to the casing 10 side. The received reflected light is taken in, and it is detected that the sub casing 31 has been sent out by a predetermined amount. Thus, the driving of the feed drive motor 41 is stopped.

Further, when the rotation result to the preset angle by the optical sensor 58 and the predetermined amount of the sub casing 31 to be sent out by the optical sensor 70 are detected, the feed drive motor 41 is turned in the opposite direction to the feed direction. , Whereby the support mechanism 30 is pulled back into the casing 10. The amount of return of the casing 10 is detected by the optical sensor 70. As shown in FIG. 11, when the amount of return until the back side of the television body 20 comes into contact with the dashboard D is detected, as shown in FIG. Is stopped.

As a result, the rear side of the television main body 20 is held by the dashboard D, and the fixing area for the television main body 20 is widened. When detecting the state in which the rear side of the television main body 20 contacts the dashboard D, the mechanical switch or the optical switch may be provided on the rear side of the television main body 20 based on an increase in the load applied to the feed drive motor 41. Provision may be made based on these detection results.

When the television body 20 is held by the dashboard D, the rear side thereof is the dashboard D.
, The operation of various operation buttons provided on the television body 20 is not hindered.

Next, the television body 2 is placed inside the casing 10.
Explanation of basic operation when 0 returns (when stored)
I do. First, the feed drive motor 41 of the feed mechanism 40 is driven in the opposite direction to the above, and the sub-casing 31 is pulled back into the casing 10. At substantially the same time, the rotation drive motor 51 is driven in the opposite direction to the above, and the television main body 20 is rotated to the side where it is tilted horizontally.

When the television body 20 is completely tilted to the horizontal position, the sub-casing 31 has moved to the position shown in FIG. At this time, when the contact member attached to the sub-casing 31 comes into contact with the sense switch 46 attached to the casing 10, the completion of the return of the television main body 20 to the horizontal position is detected. Thereby, the drive of the rotation drive motor 51 is stopped.

From this state, the retraction of the sub-casing 31 is further continued. The optical sensor 70 attached to the upper end surface of the sub-casing 31 takes in the modulated reflected light from the sheet-shaped position detecting member 71 attached to the casing 10 side, and the sub-casing 31 is drawn in by a predetermined amount. When this is detected, the driving of the feed drive motor 41 is stopped.

Next, the flowcharts of FIGS.

When these operations are completed, the rotation drive motor 51 is driven (step 108). At this time, as described above, the optical sensor 58 takes in the reflected light modulated by the rotation of the discrimination plate 56 (step 109), and when the detection result of the optical sensor 58 reaches a predetermined value (step 11).
0), and then the feed drive motor 41 is driven (step 111). At this time, the driving of the rotation drive motor 51 is continued.

When the pull-in operation of the television main body 20 is performed by the driving of the rotation drive motor 51, the optical sensor 70 is modulated from the sheet-like position detecting member 71 attached to the casing 10 as described above. The reflected light is captured (step 112).

When the detection result of the optical sensor 58 reaches a predetermined value during the pull-in operation of the television body 20 (step 113), the driving of the rotation drive motor 51 is stopped (step 114). Next, when the detection result of the optical sensor 70 reaches a predetermined value (step 115), the driving of the feed drive motor 41 is stopped (step 116), and the operation of housing the television body 20 in the casing 10 ends.

Next, the television body 20 is placed inside the casing 10.

When the television main body 20 is housed in the casing 10, the accessory key is turned on (step 201), and when the switch for urging the television main body 20 to be pushed out is turned on (step 202), the previous time is stored in the memory. It is determined whether or not data is stored by the operation of (step 203).

If no data is stored in the memory, the amount of rotation by the rotation drive motor 51 to be driven later is set to a predetermined value (step 205). On the other hand, when data is stored in the memory, the feed amount by the feed drive motor 41 and the turn amount by the turn drive motor 51 are set based on the data in the memory (step 204).

Next, when the feed drive motor 41 is driven (step 206), the optical sensor 70 is driven as described above.
Captures the modulated reflected light from the position detecting member 71 (step 207). When the optical sensor 70 reaches a predetermined value (step 208), the rotation drive motor 51 is driven (step 209), and the optical sensor 58 is simultaneously driven by the discrimination plate 56.
The reflected light modulated by the rotation of is taken in (step 210).

In this state, when the detection result of the optical sensor 70 reaches a predetermined value (step 211), the driving of the feed drive motor 41 is stopped (step 212). When the detection result of the optical sensor 58 reaches a predetermined value (step 2
13), the drive of the rotation drive motor 51 is stopped (step 214).

Next, it is determined whether or not a horizontal pulse, which is the feed amount of the feed drive motor 41 in step 204, is set (step 215). If it is determined that a pulse is set, the feed drive motor 41 is set. Are driven in reverse, and when the detection result of the optical sensor 70 reaches a predetermined value, the driving of the feed drive motor 41 is stopped (step 217).
219).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 215 that there is no pulse setting, it is determined whether or not there is a vibration absorption mode (step 216). When the motor 41 is reversely driven and the rear side of the television body 20 contacts the dashboard D, the driving of the feed drive motor 41 is stopped (step 2).
