Description

  The present invention relates to a panel device that is assembled to a front portion of a main body device in a vehicle-mounted audio device or video device, and more particularly, a panel of a vehicle-mounted device having a movable nose that has a display screen and can be set in a tilted posture Relates to the device.

  In audio equipment and video equipment incorporated for in-vehicle use, various operation keys, a display screen, a media insertion slot, and the like are arranged on a front panel called an escutcheon that is fixed to the front of the main unit. In general, when the display screen has become larger and the number of operation keys has increased with the recent increase in functionality, all of these display screens, operation keys, media insertion slots, etc. It becomes difficult to arrange in the space. Therefore, conventionally, a movable nose having a display screen such as a liquid crystal screen and disposed so as to be able to stand and tilt in front of the front panel, and is pivotably connected to the movable nose so as to slide in the front-rear direction. 2. Description of the Related Art A panel device that includes a slide member that is driven by a motor and is configured so that the posture of a movable nose changes in conjunction with the sliding movement of the slide member is widely known.

  In this type of panel device, the movable nose covers and conceals the media insertion slot and the like of the front panel when standing upright, and the media insertion slot and the like are exposed by tilting the movable nose greatly. Further, when using the display screen, the posture of the movable nose can be changed by sliding the slide member so that the passenger can easily see the display screen. In the conventional general panel device, The movable nose was tilted backward by a predetermined angle with respect to the front panel.

  However, in recent years, due to the design of the interior of the vehicle, vehicles with a large tilt angle of the instrument panel in which the main unit of in-vehicle equipment such as car audio is stored have appeared. When a display screen such as a liquid crystal screen is tilted rearward with respect to the front panel, the display screen is excessively turned upward. That is, in a vehicle having a large tilt angle of the instrument panel, the movable nose needs to be tilted forward with respect to the front panel in order to arrange the movable nose display screen so that it can be easily seen by the passenger.

Conventionally, as a panel device for a vehicle-mounted device having a mechanism for tilting the movable nose forward with respect to the front panel, a sliding member that rotatably supports the lower end of the movable nose, and a lower end of the movable nose And a guide member that rotatably supports the upper position, and a configuration in which the movable nose is tilted forward by sliding the sliding member to the rear of the front panel has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent No. 3657038 (page 7, FIG. 8)

  However, it has been found that if the movable nose is tilted forward with respect to the front panel in the panel device of the vehicle-mounted device, a new problem that does not become a problem when tilted backward is generated. That is, when the movable nose is disposed in a posture inclined forward with respect to the front panel, a V-shaped space is formed between the back surface of the movable nose and the front panel, and therefore, the space is It is easy for foreign matter and dust to intrude. In addition, the back surface of the movable nose can be easily seen from the passenger through this space, which is not preferable in terms of design.

  The present invention has been made in view of the actual situation of the prior art. The purpose of the present invention is to prevent foreign matter and dust from entering even if the movable nose is tilted forward with respect to the front panel, and the design is impaired. It is to provide a panel device for an in-vehicle device.

  The present invention provides a panel device in which a movable nose arranged so as to be able to stand and tilt in front of a front panel can be set in a posture inclined forward with respect to the front panel, and is rotatably supported on an upper end portion of the movable nose. An upper cover that can be arranged behind the movable nose is provided, and when the movable nose is tilted forward, the upper cover protrudes in a bowl shape to the rear of the movable nose, The space defined between them was covered with the top cover.

  According to the panel device of the present invention, when the position of the movable nose is tilted forward with respect to the front panel, the upper cover protrudes like a hook toward the rear of the movable nose, and the movable cover and the front panel in the forward tilt position are projected by the upper cover. Since the space defined between the two can be covered, foreign matter and dust can be prevented from entering the space, and the back surface of the movable nose is difficult to see from the occupant and the design is improved.

  A panel device for an in-vehicle device according to the present invention includes a front panel fixed to a front surface of a main body device, a movable nose having a display screen and arranged to stand and tilt in front of the front panel. A slide member that is rotatably connected to a first fulcrum provided at the lower end of the movable nose and is slidable in the front-rear direction, and a second member provided above the first fulcrum of the movable nose. An arm member rotatably connected to a fulcrum, arm driving means for changing the position of the arm member in conjunction with the sliding movement of the slide member, and pivotally attached to an upper end of the movable nose An upper cover that can project in a hook shape to the rear of the movable nose, and the second fulcrum is moved forward with respect to the first fulcrum by sliding the slide member to a predetermined position. And the upper cover is disposed at a position that covers the space between the movable nose and the front panel by rotating with respect to the movable nose. did.

  In the panel device configured as described above, when the slide member connected to the first fulcrum part of the movable nose is slid forward and backward, the arm member connected to the second fulcrum part of the movable nose becomes the arm driving means. The second fulcrum portion can be moved forward with respect to the first fulcrum portion by sliding the slide member to a predetermined position so that the movable nose is tilted forward with respect to the front panel. It can be assumed to be a posture. In addition, the upper cover protrudes like a hook in the rear of the movable nose in conjunction with the movement of the movable nose to the forward tilted position, and the space defined between the movable nose in the forward tilted position and the front panel is covered by the upper cover. Therefore, the upper cover can prevent foreign matter and dust from entering the space, and the back surface of the movable nose exposed to the space is difficult to see from the passenger. In addition, since the upper cover is rotatably supported by the upper end portion of the movable nose, when the posture of the movable nose changes and the upper end portion of the movable nose comes close to the front panel, the upper cover is moved to the back of the movable nose. The movable nose can be brought close to the front panel without being obstructed by the upper cover.

  In the panel device having the above configuration, when the movable nose is tilted forward and the space between the front panel and the front panel increases when the spring member that biases the opening of the upper cover with respect to the rear surface of the movable nose is provided. In addition, the upper cover can be reliably projected in a hook shape to the rear of the movable nose, and when the interval is narrowed, the upper cover can be easily folded to the back side of the movable nose. In this case, if a curved guide surface that slides the tip of the upper cover is provided near the ceiling of the front panel, the upper cover will guide the tip of the tip in the process of increasing the forward tilt angle of the movable nose. Since the opening can be increased while sliding on the surface in an elastic contact state, it is easy to place the upper cover at an appropriate position according to the tilting posture of the movable nose, and there is no possibility of the upper cover being caught on the front panel. .

  In the above configuration, an engagement pin that protrudes laterally is provided at the tip of the upper cover, and a guide groove that engages with the engagement pin and guides the movement of the upper cover is provided on the inner wall of the front panel. In this case, since the upper cover is driven while being guided by the guide groove when the movable nose is changed in posture, it is easy to place the upper cover at an appropriate position according to the tilted posture of the movable nose. In this case, a receiving portion that protrudes forward is formed at the upper end portion of the guide groove, and the engaging pin engages with the upper end portion of the guide groove against the external force acting on the upper cover from above. If the occupant unintentionally pushes in the top cover that covers the space between the forward nose and the movable nose and the front panel, undesired rotation of the top cover Therefore, it is possible to prevent an accident such as a finger being caught in the space.

  Further, in the above configuration, the movable nose is tilted forward with respect to the front panel by sliding the slide member to a predetermined position forward, and the slide member is further slid forward from the predetermined position by a predetermined amount. If the movable nose is configured to tilt backward with respect to the front panel, the movable nose that stands up to cover the media insertion slot on the front panel is tilted backwards. In addition, since it is only necessary to slide the slide member forward from the initial position, the depth dimension can be reduced as compared with a case where a mechanism for sliding the slide member backward from the initial position is adopted. In other words, it is possible to move the movable nose forwardly by sliding the slide member backward from the initial position, but in this way, a space for moving the slide member is secured in advance behind the slide member at the initial position. Therefore, the depth dimension of the panel device increases and the size of the panel device must be increased.

  In the above configuration, the arm driving means is provided on the driving pin provided on the arm member behind the second fulcrum portion and on the bracket fixed on the rear side of the front panel so that the driving pin can be slid freely. Including a first pin guide groove that is inserted and a second pin guide groove that is provided in the slide member and is slidably inserted into the drive pin, and the drive pin is interlocked with the slide movement of the slide member. When the position of the arm member is changed by moving along the first and second pin guide grooves, the movable nose can be tilted forward or backward in conjunction with the slide movement of the slide member. An arm driving means having a simple structure can be realized. That is, since the relative positions of the first and second pin guide grooves change as the slide member slides, for example, the drive pin is moved forward and obliquely upward to advance the second fulcrum portion relative to the first fulcrum portion. As a result, the movable nose can be set to the forward tilted posture, or the movable nose can be set to the backward tilted posture by moving the drive pin diagonally forward and downward to advance the first fulcrum portion relative to the second fulcrum portion.

  Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an external view showing a state in which the movable nose is tilted forward in the panel device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is attached to the movable nose. It is explanatory drawing which shows the attachment structure of the upper cover. 3 to 8 are explanatory views of the operation at the time of changing the posture of the movable nose, FIG. 3 is a state in which the movable nose is raised, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the movable nose from the standing posture to the forward leaning posture. FIG. 5 is a state in which the movable nose is shifted to a forward tilted posture, FIG. 6 is a state in the middle of shifting the movable nose from a forward tilted posture to a rearward tilted posture, and FIG. FIG. 8 shows a state in which the movable nose is shifted to the open posture, and FIG.

  The panel device shown in these drawings includes an escutcheon (front panel) 1 fixed to the front surface of a housing 100 containing a main body device of an in-vehicle device such as a car audio, and a display screen (liquid crystal screen) 10a. , A movable nose 10 disposed in front of the escutcheon 1, a bracket 20 fixed to the rear of the escutcheon 1 and extending along the side plate of the housing 100, and one end thereof being rotatable to the movable nose 10. A slide member 30 that is connected and slidable in the front-rear direction, an arm member 40 having one end rotatably connected to the movable nose 10 and having a drive pin 63 at the other end, and an upper end of the movable nose 10 A top cover 50 that is pivotally attached and elastically biased by a torsion spring 51 (see FIG. 2), and a motor, a gear group, a sensor, and the like (not shown) disposed on the bottom plate of the housing 100 are provided. The motor is a drive source for forward and backward sliding member 30.

  The escutcheon 1 is provided with a media insertion slot 2 for inserting / ejecting media such as CD and DVD (see FIG. 1). In addition, a curved guide surface 3 is provided in the vicinity of the ceiling portion on both sides of the escutcheon 1 so that the tip sliding portion 50a of the upper cover 50 is slidably contacted against the urging force of the torsion spring 51.

  The movable nose 10 can be appropriately set in a standing posture, a forward leaning posture, a succeeding posture, and an open posture in front of the escutcheon 1. When the panel device is not used, the movable nose 10 is in a standing posture as shown in FIG. 3 and covers the media insertion slot 1a of the escutcheon 1, but the slide member 30 slides forward. Accordingly, the movable nose 10 changes its posture as shown in FIGS. On both sides of the movable nose 10, a first fulcrum part 61 is provided at the lower end part, and a second fulcrum part 62 is provided above the first fulcrum part 61. One end portion of the slide member 30 is rotatably connected to the first fulcrum portion 61, and one end portion of the arm member 40 is rotatably connected to the second fulcrum portion 62. The movable nose 10 is provided with an open / close button 11 outside the display screen 10a.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a support shaft 50b of the upper cover 50 is rotatably attached to the upper end portion of the movable nose 10, and a winding portion of a torsion spring 51 is attached to the support shaft 50b. Since one arm portion of the torsion spring 51 is in elastic contact with the back surface 10b of the movable nose 10, and the other arm portion of the torsion spring 51 is in elastic contact with the upper cover 50, the upper cover 50 has an opening degree relative to the back surface 10b. It is always biased in the increasing direction (counterclockwise direction in FIG. 2). Thereby, when the position of the upper cover 50 is not in contact with the escutcheon 1 and is not regulated, the opening degree of the movable nose 10 with respect to the back surface 10b is maximized (about 90 degrees), and as shown in FIG. The upper cover 50 protrudes like a bowl. Although not shown, since the tip side of the upper cover 50 is notched in a concave shape except for the tip sliding portion 50a and the vicinity thereof, there is a possibility that an undesired portion of the upper cover 50 may interfere with the escutcheon 1. Absent.

  The bracket 20 has a guide groove 200 that extends in an inverted V shape and is slidably inserted into the drive pin 63, and a guide pin 64 that extends linearly and is slidably inserted into the bracket 20. A guide groove 210 is formed. The guide groove 200 includes a first inclined guide groove 201 extending obliquely upward and forward from the rear, a vertex guide groove 202 extending forward by a slight length, and a second inclined guide groove extending obliquely downward and forward thereafter. 203 and a position restricting guide groove 204 extending downward thereafter.

  The slide member 30 is formed with a guide groove 300 extending in an L shape and into which the drive pin 63 is slidably inserted. The guide groove 300 includes a vertical guide groove 301 that extends downward from the vicinity of the upper end, a horizontal guide groove 302 that extends rearward, an inclined guide groove 303 that extends rearward and downward, and a slight rearward movement. The terminal guide groove 304 extends for a certain length.

  As the slide member 30 slides in the front-rear direction, the relative position between the guide groove 200 of the bracket 20 and the guide groove 300 of the slide member 30 changes. The inserted drive pin 63 is driven to change the position of the arm member 40.

  Next, the operation at the time of changing the posture of the movable nose 10 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the movable nose 10 in the standing posture covers the media insertion opening 1 a (see FIG. 1) of the escutcheon 1, the drive pin 63 of the arm member 40 is guided by the first inclined guide of the bracket 20. It is located at the rear end of the groove 201 and at the lower end of the vertical guide groove 301 of the slide member 30 (the front end of the horizontal guide groove 302). Further, since the upper cover 50 attached to the movable nose 10 is pressed against the escutcheon 1 against the urging force of the torsion spring 51 (see FIG. 2), the upper cover 50 is folded to the back 10b side of the movable nose 10 It has become.

  When the open / close button 11 (see FIG. 1) is operated in this state, a motor (not shown) rotates forward and the slide member 30 slides forward. Since the guide pin 64 of the slide member 30 is slidably inserted into the guide groove 210 extending linearly of the bracket 20, the slide member 30 can always slide smoothly. The drive pin 63 is driven. When the slide member 30 moves forward, the drive pin 63 first moves forward obliquely upward along the first inclined guide groove 201 of the bracket 20 (see FIG. 4). In this process, in the movable nose 10, the first fulcrum part 61 and the second fulcrum part 62 are pushed forward by the slide member 30 and the arm member 40, respectively, but the second fulcrum part 62 is larger than the first fulcrum part 61. The forward movement of the movable nose 10 gradually proceeds forward, and when the drive pin 63 reaches the apex guide groove 202, the forward inclination angle of the movable nose 10 with respect to the escutcheon 1 becomes maximum (see FIG. 5). The forward leaning posture at this time is detected by a sensor (not shown), and when the power supply to the motor is cut off based on the detection signal, the movable nose 10 is maintained in the forward leaning posture shown in FIGS. Is done.

  Note that a side-view V-shaped space 70 is defined between the movable nose 10 in the forward tilt posture and the escutcheon 1, but as the forward tilt angle of the movable nose 10 increases, Since the opening degree of the upper cover 50 is gradually increased by the urging force of the torsion spring 51, when the movable nose 10 assumes the forward tilting posture shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. It is arranged to cover the position. Further, in the process of increasing the forward tilt angle of the movable nose 10, the upper cover 50 increases the opening while sliding the tip sliding portion 50a on the curved guide surface 3 of the escutcheon 1 in an elastic contact state. Therefore, the upper cover 50 can be easily placed at an appropriate position corresponding to the tilting posture 10 and the upper cover 50 is not likely to be caught by the escutcheon 1.

  When the power is continuously supplied to the motor in the state of FIGS. 1 and 5, the slide member 30 slides further forward, so that the drive pin 63 moves forward along the second inclined guide groove 203 of the bracket 20. It moves diagonally downward, and in this process, the forward tilt angle of the movable nose 10 gradually decreases (see FIG. 6). As the slide member 30 further advances, the drive pin 63 reaches the boundary between the second inclined guide groove 203 and the position restriction guide groove 204 of the bracket 20, and the vertical guide groove 301 of the slide member 30. The boundary with the horizontal guide groove 302 is reached, and the movable nose 10 is tilted backward by a predetermined angle with respect to the escutcheon 1 (see FIG. 7). The backward tilting posture at this time is detected by a sensor (not shown), and when the power supply to the motor is cut off based on the detection signal, the movable nose 10 is maintained in the forward tilting posture shown in FIG.

  In addition, when power is continuously supplied to the motor in the state of FIG. 7, the slide member 30 slides further forward, so that the drive pin 63 is moved in the front-rear direction by the position restriction guide groove 204 of the bracket 20. Although it is in a restricted state, since the drive pin 63 reaches the horizontal guide groove 302, the forward movement of the slide member 30 is not hindered. As the slide member 30 advances, the drive pin 63 relatively moves from the horizontal guide groove 302 to the inclined guide groove 303, and the rearward tilt angle of the movable nose 10 gradually increases in this process. When the drive pin 63 reaches the end guide groove 304, as shown in FIG. 8, the movable nose 10 is in an open posture that largely falls backward, so that the media insertion port 2 (see FIG. 1) of the escutcheon 1 is opened. Can be exposed. The open posture at this time is detected by a sensor (not shown), and power supply to the motor is cut off based on the detection signal, so that the movable nose 10 is maintained in the open posture shown in FIG.

  As described above, in the panel device according to the present embodiment, the movable nose 10 in the standing posture is tilted forward, backward, and released by rotating the motor forward and sliding the slide member 30 forward. It can be changed in order of posture. In this way, the panel device that simply slides the slide member 30 forward from the initial position when sliding the movable nose 10 forward or backward is said to slide the slide member backward from the initial position. Since the depth dimension can be reduced as compared with the case where a mechanism is employed, the increase in size of the apparatus can be suppressed. If the motor is rotated in the reverse direction, the movable nose 10 in the open posture can be changed in the order of the backward tilted posture, the forward tilted posture, and the standing posture.

  Further, according to the panel device according to the present embodiment, the front cover 50 is rotated by the upper cover 50 that is rotated so as to protrude in a bowl shape toward the rear of the movable nose 10 in conjunction with the operation of moving the movable nose 10 to the forward tilted posture. Since the space 70 defined between the tilted movable nose 10 and the escutcheon 1 can be covered, foreign matter and dust can be prevented from entering the space 70 by the upper cover 50 and exposed to the space 70. Thus, the back surface 10b of the movable nose 10 and the like are difficult to see from the passenger, and the design is improved. Moreover, since the upper cover 50 is rotatably supported on the upper end portion of the movable nose 10, the upper cover 50 is movable when the posture of the movable nose 10 changes and the upper end portion and the escutcheon 1 are close to each other. The nose 10 can be folded to the back surface 10 b side, and therefore the movable nose 10 can be brought close to the escutcheon 1 without being obstructed by the upper cover 50.

  Since the upper cover 50 is constantly urged by the torsion spring 51 in the direction of increasing the opening, the upper cover 50 is reliably moved when the gap between the upper end of the movable nose 10 and the escutcheon 1 is widened. The upper cover 50 can be easily folded to the back surface 10b side of the movable nose 10 when the interval is narrowed. Further, even when the upper cover 50 covers the space 70 between the movable nose 10 in the forward tilted position and the escutcheon 1, the upper cover 50 is biased by the torsion spring 51 and elastically contacts the escutcheon 1. Therefore, there is no concern that the upper cover 50 will cause rattle noise while the vehicle is running.

  As described above, in the panel device according to the present embodiment, the movable nose 10 can be appropriately set in the standing posture, the forward leaning posture, the rearward leaning posture, and the open posture in front of the escutcheon 1, and when the movable nose 10 is in the forward leaning posture. Since the rear space 70 can be covered with the upper cover 50, the movable nose can be applied to a vehicle in which the tilt angle of the instrument panel in which the casing 100 containing the main body device is stored is relatively large. By setting 10 to the forward leaning posture shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the passenger can easily see the display screen 10 a. Further, when the present invention is applied to a vehicle in which the tilt angle of the instrument panel is not so large, for example, by setting the movable nose 10 to a rearward tilted posture as shown in FIG. 7, the passenger can easily see the display screen 10a. Also in this case, when media are inserted or ejected, the media insertion slot 2 of the escutcheon 1 can be exposed by setting the movable nose 10 to the open posture shown in FIG. Therefore, the panel device described above can be applied to various vehicles having different tilt angles of the instrument panel and is easy to use.

  FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a main part showing a state in which the movable nose is tilted forward in the panel device according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 10 to 13 are operation explanatory views when the posture of the movable nose is changed. 10 is a state in which the movable nose is raised, FIG. 11 is a state in which the movable nose is shifted to a forward tilted posture, FIG. 12 is a state in which the movable nose is shifted to a rearward tilted posture, and FIG. The state which moved the movable nose to the open position is shown, respectively. However, in these drawings, the same reference numerals are given to portions corresponding to those in FIGS.

  In the panel device shown in FIGS. 9 to 13, the operation mechanism of the upper cover 55 pivotally attached to the upper end portion of the movable nose 10 is greatly different from the operation mechanism of the upper cover 50 in the first embodiment described above. That is, in the second embodiment, an engaging pin 55a protruding to the side is provided at the tip of the upper cover 55, and the engaging pin 55a is slidably inserted into the inner wall 4 of the escutcheon 1. A guide groove 5 is provided for guiding the movement of the upper cover 55. The guide groove 5 extends in a polygonal line from the vicinity of the lower end of the inner wall 4 obliquely upward, but the upper end of the guide groove 5 is a receiving portion 5a that extends short forward. Since the support shaft 55b of the upper cover 55 is rotatably attached to the upper end portion of the movable nose 10, when the movable nose 10 changes its posture, the upper cover 55 is moved while being guided by the guide groove 5. As shown in FIGS. 10 to 13, the position and inclination of the upper cover 55 change according to the posture of the movable nose 10. Therefore, the upper cover 55 can be disposed at an appropriate position according to the tilting posture of the movable nose 10.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the upper cover 55 is folded downward when the movable nose 10 is in the standing posture, but when the movable nose 10 is tilted forward as the slide member (not shown) moves forward, When the engaging pin 55a moves upward along the guide groove 5 and the movable nose 10 assumes a predetermined forward inclined posture, the engaging pin 55a is substantially horizontal to the guide groove 5 as shown in FIGS. It has entered into the receiving part 5a. Accordingly, in this state, the upper cover 55 protrudes in a bowl shape to the rear of the movable nose 10, and the space 70 defined between the movable nose 10 in the forward tilted posture and the escutcheon 1 is covered by the upper cover 55. It will be. Further, even if an external force is applied to the upper cover 55 from above in this state, the receiving portion 5a supports the engaging pin 55a, so that undesired rotation of the upper cover 55 is restricted by the receiving portion 5a. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an accident such as a finger being caught in the space 70 in advance.

  Further, when the slide member is advanced when the movable nose 10 is in the forward tilting posture, the posture of the movable nose 10 is gradually tilted backward, and the engagement pin 55a moves downward along the guide groove 5, For example, the state is as shown in FIG. When the slide member is further advanced in this state, as shown in FIG. 13, the movable nose 10 is brought into an open posture in which the movable nose 10 is greatly tilted backward, and the engagement pin 55 a moves to the lower end portion of the guide groove 5. However, since the configuration of the drive system for changing the attitude of the movable nose 10 is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.
