Description

The present invention, the panel relates to electronic apparatus including a panel tilting device capable of tilting. In particular, if example embodiment, includes a panel tilting apparatus capable of smoothly and freely tilt the display panel in the navigation apparatus mounted on a vehicle Related to electronic equipment .

  In recent years, display panels that can display images using a liquid crystal display (LCD) have various information sources such as television devices, personal computers (PCs), compact discs, digital versatile discs (DVDs), and the like as information sources. Used in electronic equipment such as information processing devices. A navigation device, which is one of electronic devices mounted in a vehicle, is also provided with an LCD display panel for displaying map information.

  A conventional example of this vehicle-mounted navigation device is shown in FIG. The navigation device shown in FIG. 7 has, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped shape incorporated in an instrument panel disposed in front of a driver's seat of a passenger car, and its external appearance is shown. Reference numeral 1 denotes a housing of a navigation device that is inserted and fixed in a mounting space provided on an instrument panel. FIG. 7 shows the rear portion of the housing 1 omitted.

  A panel mounting frame 2 is attached to the front surface of the housing 1, and the panel main body is housed in the frame of the panel mounting frame 2 as shown in FIG. 7. The panel body includes a display panel D formed by an LCD and a panel frame 3 for mounting the display panel D on the apparatus. In the display panel D shown in FIG. 7, the display surface is formed on a touch panel, and input / operation buttons related to the navigation device are set. If the display panel D is not of a touch panel type, it is configured so that it can be operated remotely, or the front width of the panel frame 2 itself is widened, and input / operation buttons are arranged in the width portion. You can also.

  By the way, in recent in-vehicle navigation devices, not only map information and traffic information are displayed on the display panel D, but also images recorded on DVDs, music recorded on various recording media, and the like are displayed in the vehicle. Multi-functionality has been achieved, such as having a function to play back with. Therefore, considering that the mounting space is limited, the display panel D is tilted and the front surface of the navigation device is opened so that the limited space is effectively used.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the display panel D is pulled out to the front of the apparatus and tilted so as to be tilted backward so that a recording medium such as a DVD can be detachably mounted. The navigation device opened by tilting the display panel D corresponds to a slot S1 having a loading function capable of detachably inserting a DVD or CD into a drive, or a recording medium such as a card or a memory. A slot S2 that can be detachably inserted is provided. Furthermore, an operation button can be arranged on the front surface of the apparatus.

  The display panel D includes a panel frame 3 for mounting on a navigation device, and sliding parts (not shown) are attached to upper ends of opposite side surfaces of the panel frame 3, respectively. . Each sliding component is fitted into a respective guide groove C formed in the longitudinal direction on the inner side surface of both side walls of the panel mounting frame 2, and slides up and down in accordance with the tilt of the display panel D. To do. In addition, each sliding component may be a rotor having a smaller diameter than a rotating groove width called a roller, as well as a member that slides on the inner surface of the guide groove C.

  The display panel D is tilted by driving a tilting drive source provided in the navigation device, for example, an electric motor. To this electric motor, two actuating rods 4 that enter and exit horizontally are connected at two places on the lower part of the panel mounting frame 2, in the case of FIG. 8, at both ends of the lower part of the frame 2. The tip of the operating rod 4 is connected to the lower portion of the panel frame 3 in a rotatable state. One operating rod may be arranged so as to enter and exit at the central portion of the lower part of the frame 2.

  When used as a navigation device, the display panel D is housed in the panel mounting frame 2 as shown in FIG. For example, in the case of insertion of a new DVD into the drive, replacement of a DVD, etc., when the touch panel type eject button displayed on the screen of the display panel D is pressed, the electric motor is driven and the operation rod 4 is moved. , Stick out forward of the device. As the operating rod 4 moves, the sliding part at the upper end of the panel frame 3 slides down in the guide groove C while being regulated.

  When the actuating rod 4 is driven to protrude forward, the sliding component moves downward along the guide groove C. As a result, the display panel D is moved from the housed state shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. The drive of the operating bar 4 is designed to automatically stop when it reaches the protruding limit. However, the tilt of the display panel D is performed before the panel frame 3 and the operating bar 4 become parallel. It is preferable to stop at a predetermined angle. This is for facilitating the start of sliding upward in the guide groove C of the sliding component when the operation bar 4 is pulled in and driven to raise the display panel D.

  On the other hand, recently, for example, in the case of a display panel in a navigation device mounted on a vehicle, the display panel itself used by using the multi-function of the navigation device has various display functions and display formats (for example, left and right). It has been proposed to use a display panel that can display different images in different directions. However, when such functions and display formats are added and realized, the number of parts incorporated in the display panel increases, and the volume of the panel body increases to incorporate a large number of parts. Since there is not enough space for mounting on the instrument panel, it is difficult to increase the volume of the display panel body.

  Therefore, if the increase in the number of parts is dealt with by the thickness of the display panel body, a panel housing body is further formed on the back surface of the display panel D, and the LCD used in the conventional navigation device shown in FIG. Like the display panel D, the entire display panel cannot be stored inside the panel mounting frame 2. Therefore, when a display panel having a panel storage body is incorporated in a conventional navigation device as it is, due to the thickness of the display panel, the upper end portion of the panel frame 3 is positioned at the panel mounting frame 2 when the panel is tilted. There is a problem that the tilting of the panel is hindered.

  In addition, the weight of the display panel body increases with the increase in the number of parts. For this reason, the display panel tilting mechanism as shown in FIG. 7 requires a power up of the electric motor that drives the actuating rod 4, leading to an increase in cost and driving noise. growing. Furthermore, in a limited space environment, there is a problem that there is no room for increasing the size of the electric motor, which hinders the design of the navigation device.

Therefore, the present invention relates to a panel incorporated in the front surface of an electronic device such as a navigation device, even if the thickness of the panel main body is increased or the weight of the panel main body is increased, the panel provided in the electronic device. An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic apparatus including a panel tilting device that can use the tilting drive source as it is and can tilt the panel smoothly and freely.

Further, the first and second guided portions are provided with rollers. Furthermore, a first mounting portion provided in the vicinity of one side of the side portion of the panel body, a second mounting portion provided in the vicinity of the other end of the holding member, and both end portions are respectively the first and second portions. An urging member that is attached to the attachment portion and urges the holding member toward the first attachment portion is provided, and the holding member includes floating plates disposed on both sides of the panel body, and the panel It has decided to have a floating back board which connects each of the above-mentioned floating boards arranged on the back of a main part .

The second sliding surface is curved in the depth direction at the lower portion of the inner side surface of the mounting frame .

The first sliding surface and the second sliding surface are side surfaces of grooves formed on the inner side surface of the mounting frame body, or the first sliding surface is a side surface of the mounting frame body. It was assumed to be the front .

The panel body has a display panel in an electronic device, and further, the panel body has a display panel of a vehicle-mounted navigation device .

  As described above, according to the panel tilting device of the present invention, two guide grooves are provided on the inner side surface of the side wall of the panel mounting frame, and one guide groove is attached to the upper end of the panel frame 5. The sliding parts fitted and slid, and the sliding parts attached to the end portions of the idler plates are fitted and slid into the other guide grooves, and the panel frame and idler plate Are connected by a spring, so that when the operating rod connected to the lower part of the panel body is driven and the panel body is tilted, the spring biases the idle plate toward the lower part of the panel body. The spring force pulls the panel frame body and the floating plate together to act in the direction of helping the panel body to be raised, and the backlash of the panel frame body can be suppressed and smooth panel tilt can be realized.

  Further, even when the panel body is heavy, a spring force is added to the driving force of the actuating rod when the panel body is returned to the tilt, so that the panel tilting device of the present invention saves labor for the panel tilt driving source. This can be applied not only to tilting of a display panel incorporated in a vehicle-mounted navigation device, but also to tilting of a panel incorporated on the front surface of an electronic device.

  Next, an embodiment of the panel tilting device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings, taking as an example the case of application to a vehicle-mounted navigation device. 1 and 2 show the appearance of a navigation device to which the panel tilting device of this embodiment is applied. The navigation device main body shown here is based on the conventional navigation device shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, and the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. That is, when the navigation unit is built in the device housing 1 and the panel mounting frame 2 is attached to the front surface of the housing 1, and the display panel D is tilted by driving the operation rod 4, A recording medium such as a DVD that realizes functionality can be operated.

  The navigation device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is greatly different from the above-described conventional navigation device. The panel tilting device used in the conventional navigation device has a 1 on the inner side surface of the side wall of the panel mounting frame 2. When the guide groove C of the book was provided and the operating rod 4 was driven, the sliding component attached to the upper end of the panel frame 3 only slid in the guide groove C.

  On the other hand, in the panel tilting device of the present embodiment, two guide grooves C1 and C2 are provided on the inner surface of the side wall of the panel mounting frame 2, and the upper end of the panel frame 5 is provided in the guide groove C1. The sliding part attached to the sliding part is fitted and slid, and the sliding part attached to the end of the idler plate described below in detail is fitted and slid in the guide groove C2. And the panel frame 5 and the idler board are connected with the spring. Since the panel tilting device of the present embodiment is based on the above configuration, when the operating rod 4 is driven and the panel is tilted, the spring biases the floating plate toward the lower portion of the panel body, and the spring The force pulls the panel frame 5 and the floating plate together to act in a direction that helps the display panel D to be raised, and the backlash of the panel frame 5 is suppressed to achieve a smooth panel tilt.

  First, the configuration of the panel tilting device of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3A and 3B show the panel tilting device in the panel storage state indicated by a circle A in FIG. 3A is an upper cross-sectional view of the panel tilting device indicated by a one-dot chain line XX in FIG. 3B, and FIG. 3B is a configuration of the panel tilting device on the panel frame 5 side. FIG.

  Therefore, the panel mounting frame 2 is indicated by a broken line. The outline of the panel mounting frame 2 is indicated by a thick broken line, and the guide grooves C1 and C2 provided on the side wall of the panel mounting frame 2 are indicated by a thin broken line. 3A and 3B, only one side of the panel frame 5 is shown, but the panel tilting device of the present embodiment is provided on opposite side walls of the panel frame 5. It is desirable that the panel can be tilted more stably. The panel mounting frame 2 is formed of a metal material such as an aluminum alloy, a hard plastic material, or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 3 (b), the panel frame 5 having the display panel D is formed thicker than the panel frame 3 in the conventional navigation device, and the panel frame 5 It protrudes from the panel mounting frame 5 to the front. A panel storage body 51 is provided behind the panel frame body 5, and the panel storage body 51 is designed to fit within the frame of the panel mounting frame body 2 when the display panel D is stored. Is done. In the example shown in FIG. 3B, the upper surface of the panel frame body 5 coincides with the upper surface of the panel storage body 51, and the upper surface of the panel frame body 5 and the upper surface of the panel mounting frame body 2 when the panel is stored. Since there is a step and this difference exists, the upper end surface of the panel frame does not hit the front surface of the upper side wall of the panel mounting frame 2 when the panel tilt is started.

  Next, the sliding component attached to the panel storage main body 51 among the structures of a panel tilting apparatus is demonstrated. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, a small-diameter roller R1 is used as the sliding component. The roller R1 is pivotally supported in the vicinity of the panel frame body 5 at the upper end of the side wall of the panel storage body 51 so as to rotate in the guide groove C1 provided on the inner surface of the panel mounting frame body 2. The When the panel is tilted, the roller R1 moves up and down along the sliding surface of the guide groove C1 to stabilize the movement of the upper portion of the panel body.

  Next, the idle plate will be described in the configuration of the panel tilting device. As shown in FIG. 3A, the outer shape of the panel storage body 51 is large so that a predetermined gap is formed between the side wall surface of the panel storage body 51 and the inner surface of the panel mounting frame 2. Is decided. In this gap, the floating plate 6 having a predetermined length in the longitudinal direction of the side wall of the panel storage main body 51 is arranged in a loosely fitted state.

  The floating plates 6 are arranged along both side walls of the panel storage body 51, and the floating plates 6 are connected to each other by floating back plates 61 on the back surface of the panel storage body 51. The floating plate 6 and the floating back plate 61 may be integrally formed by punching a metal plate, or may be formed separately and then joined and integrated. Moreover, you may form with a hard plastic.

  One end portion of the idle plate 6, that is, the upper end portion based on the panel storage state shown in FIG. 3 (b), is a guide provided on the inner surface of the panel mounting frame 2 at the upper end portion. A sliding component related to the groove C2 is attached. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, a small-diameter roller R2 is used as the sliding component. This roller R2 is pivotally supported on the upper end portion of the idler plate 6 so as to rotate in the guide groove C2. The roller R2 moves up and down along the sliding surface of the guide groove C2 when the panel is tilted, and regulates the position of the upper end portion of the idle plate 6.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the loose plate 6 is provided with pin loose holes H1 and H2 having a predetermined length in the longitudinal direction of the plate at an interval. Engagement pins P1 and P2 fixedly provided on the side wall of the panel storage main body 51 are inserted into these pin loose fitting long holes H1 and H2, respectively, in a loosely fitted state. When the panel is tilted, the engagement pins P1 and P2 move in the loosely fitted state in the pin loose fitting holes H1 and H2. In the panel storage state shown in FIG. 3B, the engagement pins P1 and P2 are located above the pin loose fitting holes H1 and H2. The positions of the engagement pins P1 and P2 and the arrangement of the pin loose fitting long holes H1 and H2 are aligned.

  In addition, in the panel tilting device of this embodiment, two pin loose holes provided in the floating plate 6 are provided, and correspondingly, there are also two engagement pins. One and one engagement pin can also be used. Further, when two engaging pins are provided side by side, instead of providing two pin loose fitting long holes, one continuous long hole may be formed in anticipation of a range in which the two engaging pins are displaced. it can.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, a spring mounting hole H3 is provided at the lower end portion of the floating plate 6, and is fixed to the spring mounting hole H3 and the lower portion of the side wall of the panel storage body 51. A spring 7 is mounted between the spring mounting pin P3 and the panel housing body 5 and the floating plate 6 are connected by the spring 7. The operating state of the spring 7 will be described in detail later. When the operating rod 4 is driven and the panel body is tilted, the floating plate 6 and the lower portion of the panel storage body 51 are displaced, and the spring 7 is moved. The idle plate 6 and the lower part of the panel body are pulled.

  As described above, the configuration of the panel tilting device of the present embodiment has been described with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B showing the panel storage state. Next, the operation of the panel tilting device of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is based on the configuration of the panel tilting device shown in FIG. 3B, and the same parts as those shown in FIG.

  In order for the panel body shown in FIG. 3 (b) to tilt the panel body from the stowed state, that is, from the standing state, an operating rod 4 provided at the lower portion of the panel mounting frame 2 is provided inside the apparatus. The electric motor is driven in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. By driving the operation rod 4, the lower part of the panel body composed of the panel frame body 5 and the panel storage body 51 is pushed forward.

  On the other hand, since the engagement pins P1 and P2 fixed to the panel main body are loosely engaged with the pin loose fitting long holes H1 and H2, the operating rod 4 is driven and the lower portion of the panel main body is protruded. Then, according to the tilt of the panel body, the engagement pins P1 and P2 push the idle plate 6 downward. At this time, the roller R2 attached to the idle plate 6 moves downward while being restricted by the guide groove C2, and the upper end of the idle plate 6 also maintains the position of the guide groove C2. Therefore, since the engagement pins P1 and P2 are also moved away from the position of the guide groove C2 as the panel body is tilted, the engagement pins P1 and P2 are located in the pin loose fitting long holes H1 and H2 in FIG. It displaces in the longitudinal direction from the position of the engagement pins P1, P2 shown in b).

  Here, the spring 7 is further extended by the distance that the engagement pins P1 and P2 are displaced in the longitudinal direction from the position shown in FIG. The board 6 is pulled. As a result, the roller R1 attached to the upper end portion of the panel storage body 51 is pressed against the inner surface of the guide groove C1 by this pulling force. By the action of the spring 7, the panel main body can be prevented from play during tilting and can be stabilized.

  FIG. 4 shows a state where the operation rod 4 is further driven and the panel tilting is finished. The panel tilt ends when the drive of the operation rod 4 is stopped. However, the end point of the panel tilt in the fully opened state of the panel body is as shown in FIG. The tilt position. The panel body can be tilted by adjusting the degree of tilting of the panel body by stopping the operation of the operating rod 4 at an arbitrary timing.

  Here, the predetermined angle remaining in the tilt stop of the panel body returns the tilt of the panel body. Therefore, when the actuating rod 4 is driven to be retracted, the roller R1 rotates in the guide groove C1. It is easy to start. Furthermore, since the actuating rod 4 is driven forward against the spring force of the spring 7 during the tilting of the panel body, this spring force is maintained even after the panel body is tilted.

  Therefore, when the inclination of the panel body is restored, the held spring force is transmitted to the roller R1 in addition to the pulling force when the actuating rod 4 is pulled. Therefore, even when the weight of the panel body is heavy, the addition of this spring force can smoothly return the panel body to tilt, and even if the driving force of the previous actuating rod drive mechanism remains the countermeasure can do.

  The configuration and operation of the panel tilting device according to this embodiment have been described above. Next, a modification of the embodiment according to this panel tilting device will be described with reference to FIG. 5 (a) and 5 (b) are sectional views taken along line XX shown in FIG. 3 (b), as in FIG. 3 (a), and FIG. 5 (c). FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view taken along line YY shown in FIG.

  Fig.5 (a) has shown the case of the modification 1 of the panel tilting apparatus. In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3A, the floating plates 6 arranged on both side walls of the panel storage main body 51 are integrated by the floating back plate 61, and both the side walls are integrated. Although the movement of the floating plate 6 is made the same, in the first modification, the floating back plate 61 is eliminated so that the floating plates 6 on both side walls can move independently. Even if both floating plates 6 are individually arranged, the object of the present invention can be sufficiently achieved. When the idle plates 6 are individually arranged, it is suitable when the idle back plate 61 cannot be provided due to the shape of the back surface of the panel storage main body 51 or the drawn-out state of the electrical wiring.

  FIG. 5B shows a case of the modification 2 of the panel tilting device. In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3A, in the guide groove C1 formed on the inner side surface of the panel mounting frame 2, the roller R1 is pressed against the side surface so as to rotate. It was made. On the other hand, in this modified example 2, the surface to which the roller R1 is pressed without particularly forming the guide groove is defined as the front surface F of the panel mounting frame 2. Here, by forming at least the range in which the roller R1 rotates and moves on the front surface F with a smooth surface, the same effects as those in the embodiment shown in FIG.

  By the way, for example, in the case of the modified example 2 shown in FIG. 5B, at least the diameter of the roller R1 is rotated between the panel frame 5 and the front surface F of the panel mounting frame 2. A minute gap occurs. Therefore, in order to minimize this gap, the panel frame 5 facing the panel mounting frame 2 except for the portion where the roller R1 is attached, as in Modification 3 shown in FIG. Is brought close to the front surface F of the panel mounting frame 2. A recess is formed in the panel frame 5, and a roller R <b> 1 is attached to the recess. According to the third modification, it is possible to prevent dust and the like from entering when the panel is stored.

  In the configuration according to the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3B, the upper surface of the panel frame body 5 coincides with the upper surface of the panel storage body 51, and when the panel is stored, the panel frame body 5 and the panel It was explained that there was a step between the mounting frame 2. Therefore, a fourth modification (not shown) in which this step is eliminated will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, the cause of the difference in level between the panel frame 5 and the panel mounting frame 2 when the panel is stored is attached to the back of the panel frame 5 when the panel body is stored. When the panel storage body 51 is housed inside the panel mounting frame body 2 and the panel tilting is shifted from the panel main body storage state, the upper end of the panel frame body 5 does not hit the front surface of the panel mounting frame body 2. It is in doing so. Therefore, in the case of the modification 4, the upper side wall in the panel mounting frame 2 is removed according to the shape of the panel storage frame 51 to form a notch.

  Thus, when this notch is formed in the upper side wall of the panel mounting frame 2, the upper end of the panel storage main body 51 is fitted into this notch when the panel main body is stored. Therefore, if the upper surface of the panel frame 5 is made to coincide with the upper surface of the panel storage main body 51, there is no step in the mounting portion of the panel main body in the storage state of the panel main body, and the entire upper surface of the apparatus can be flattened.

  Next, the device regarding the shape of the guide groove in which the roller of the panel tilting device of the present embodiment rotates will be described. In the panel tilting device of this embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the guide grooves C1 and C2 formed on the inner surface of the side wall of the panel mounting frame 2 have a shape extending linearly in the longitudinal direction of the side wall. Had. In the guide groove C1, the roller R1 is rotated up and down, and in the guide groove C2, the roller R2 is rotated up and down.

  As described above, even when the guide groove is linearly formed, in addition to the pulling force at the time of pulling in the actuating rod 4 when the panel body is returned to tilt, the retained spring force is also Since it is transmitted to the roller R1, it has been explained that even when the weight of the panel body panel body is heavy, it is possible to smoothly return the tilting of the panel body by applying this spring force.

  Therefore, FIG. 6 shows a modification 5 of the panel tilting device that can return the tilting of the panel body more smoothly. In FIG. 6, only the inner surface of the side wall of the panel mounting frame 2 is shown. The guide groove formed on the inner surface has a slightly curved shape at the lower part. The guide groove C3 corresponds to the guide groove C1, and the roller R1 rotates. The guide groove C4 corresponds to the guide groove C2, and the roller R2 rotates.

  In forming these guide grooves, it is necessary to prevent the panel frame 5 from hitting the front surface of the panel mounting frame 2 when the panel body is tilted. Therefore, the guide groove C3 is slightly curved. And about the guide groove C4, if the length of the pin loose fitting long holes H1 and H2 provided in the floating plate is increased, and the length that the engagement pins P1 and P2 can loosely fit can be secured. The curvature of the guide groove can be adjusted within the width of the side wall of the panel mounting frame 2.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the inclination of the panel main body is started by curving the groove itself at the lower part of the guide grooves C3 and C4, the rollers R1 and R2 are in contact with the inner surfaces of the guide grooves C3 and C4. Compared with the case where the guide groove is formed in a straight line, the guide groove strikes more obliquely, and it is easier to start the rotational movement of the rollers R1 and R2.

  As described above, the panel tilting device according to the present invention has been described by taking as an example the case where the panel tilting device is applied to a display panel incorporated in a navigation device. However, the panel tilting device according to the present invention is not limited to tilting a display panel, and is an electronic device. The present invention can also be applied to the case of tilting the panel provided in the above.

  In the panel tilting device of the present embodiment described above, the small-diameter rollers R1 and R2 that are axially supported are used as the sliding parts that move in the guide groove. However, the present invention is not limited to these rollers. The object of the present invention can also be achieved by simply implanting the sliding protrusion and forming the sliding surface of the guide groove smoothly.
