Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle cluster system that displays various types of information relating to the running state of a vehicle and is detachable from a dashboard.

  The vehicle is provided with a display unit on which various information relating to the running state is displayed, that is, typically a vehicle cluster. The cluster consists of a speedometer, tachometer, fuel meter, thermometer, and various warning lights. The driver can grasp the current traveling state of the vehicle by looking at the cluster and can drive safely.

  Such a cluster includes an analog type, a digital type, and an analog and digital type depending on an operation method. The analog system is a system in which information on a running state such as a speed and a rotational speed is displayed through a pointer operated by a drive motor. The digital type is a method in which information on the running state such as speed and rotational speed is displayed as numbers that are accurate digital data. The analog and digital method is a method in which both an analog method and a digital method are displayed.

  In general, the cluster is fixedly installed behind the steering wheel of the vehicle so that the driver can easily turn his / her eyes while driving, regardless of the above-mentioned analog, digital and analog and digital modes of operation. Installed on the front of the dashboard.

Since the connector 23 provided in the cluster mounting portion 22 is electrically connected to the ECU 40 that receives information from various sensors installed in the vehicle, the cluster 30 is electrically connected to the ECU 40.

  On the other hand, although not shown in the drawing, the cluster 30 is fixedly installed on the cluster mounting portion 22 through fastening members such as a fixing clip, a fixing bracket, and a fixing pin provided in each of the cluster mounting portion 22 and the cluster frame 31. In general.

  However, since the cluster 30 according to the prior art is first fixedly installed through the fastening member to the cluster mounting portion 22 provided in the dashboard 20, it takes a long time for replacement and repair work when a failure occurs, There is a problem that it is inconvenient. Second, because the design and running state information items of the dial 32 and the display means 33 cannot be exchanged for products of other designs or the information items cannot be changed due to the characteristics of the design structure. There is a problem that there is a limit in reflecting the personal preference of the driver. Third, since the ECU 40 is merely a means for displaying information on the running state of the vehicle, the state confirmation and operation of devices installed inside the vehicle such as audio and air conditioners can be performed at the center of the dashboard. There is a problem in that it is necessary to rely on display means and operation buttons provided separately.

  The object of the present invention devised to solve the above-mentioned problems is that it is detachable from the dashboard in the first place, so that repair work in the event of a failure is easier compared to the cluster according to the prior art. At the same time, the present invention is to provide a vehicle cluster system that can be updated and exchanged with various designs according to the personal preference of the driver.

The output shaft of the cluster rotation motor 1241 is coupled to the sliding rack gear 1242, and the rotational force is transmitted to the sliding rack gear 1242. This is to allow the cluster terminal 300 to move to a fixed position while rotating inside the cluster frame housing 1210. Here, as shown in FIGS. 37 and 38, the fixed position of the cluster terminal 300 is slidingly moved to the inside of the cluster frame housing 1210 through the cluster attachment / detachment hole 1211 and inclined obliquely downward toward the rear. This is a position where the upper part of the cluster terminal 300 is fixed by rotating at a certain angle above (and behind) the cluster frame housing 1210.

  The sliding rack gear 1242 may be coupled to the output shaft so as to be rotatable with the output shaft of the cluster rotation motor 1241 and may be formed in a linear or curved shape. The sliding pinion gear 1243 meshes with the sliding rack gear 1242 and slides on the straight line or curve along the sliding rack gear 1242. That is, when the sliding rack gear 1242 is linear, the sliding pinion gear 1243 slides on the straight line along the sliding rack gear 1242, and when the sliding rack gear 1242 is curved, the sliding pinion gear 1243 is along the sliding rack gear 1242. Move sliding on the curve. This is for sliding the cluster terminal 300 into the cluster frame housing 1210 on a straight line or a curved line.

  The cluster sliding motor 1244 has an output shaft coupled to the sliding pinion gear 1243 so that the sliding pinion gear 1243 rotates, and slides along the sliding rack gear 1242 together with the sliding pinion gear 1243.

  The guide roller 1246 is connected to the sliding pinion gear 1243 so that the sliding pinion gear 1243 does not separate from the sliding rack gear 1242, and is fitted into a guide groove 1245 formed in the sliding rack gear 1242. That is, the guide roller 1246 is fitted in the guide groove 1245 formed in the sliding rack gear 1242 so as to be opposite to the sliding rack gear 1242 and the sliding pinion gear 1243 that are engaged with each other, so that the sliding pinion gear 1243 is detached from the sliding rack gear 1242. Can be prevented.

  The cluster lifter 1247 is fixedly coupled to the cluster sliding motor 1244 so as to be slid together with the cluster sliding motor 1244. The cluster lifter 1247 is positioned below the cluster detachment hole 1211 and accommodates the lower part of the cluster terminal 300 inserted into the cluster frame housing 1210 through the cluster detachment hole 1211. The cluster lifter 1247 is rotated and slidingly moved by the cluster rotation motor 1241 and the cluster sliding motor 1244 while the cluster terminal 300 is accommodated. A cluster docking connector 1260 is fixedly installed at a lower portion inside the cluster lifter 1247.

  Here, the cluster lifter 1247 is not shown in the drawing, but includes a locking means that is operated by electronic control so that the cluster terminal 300 is not detached while rotating and sliding when the cluster terminal 300 is docked. Can be. In addition, the cluster lifter 1247 is made of a transparent material, and the cluster lifter 1247 hides the display panel 320 of the cluster terminal 300 so that only the front and side surfaces of the left and right sides are accommodated together with the lower surface of the cluster terminal 300. There is no such thing.

  The cluster frame connector 1250 is provided at the rear of the cluster frame housing 1210 so as to be electrically connected to the frame mounting terminal 110, and the signal of the ECU 40 is finally transmitted to the cluster terminal 300 in the same manner as the frame mounting terminal 110. A connector to which data communication wiring is connected is used.

  The cluster docking connector 1260 is electrically connected to the cluster frame connector 1250 and fixedly installed on the rotary sliding unit 1240 so that the cluster terminal 300 inserted into the cluster frame housing 1210 through the cluster attachment / detachment hole 1211 is docked. The Here, a USB socket may be installed as the cluster docking connector 1260 so as to supply data to the cluster terminal 300 and simultaneously perform data communication. As a result, data communication and power supply between the ECU 40 of the vehicle 1 and the cluster terminal 300 are possible.

  The cover rotation motor 1270 may be fixedly installed at the upper rear portion of the cluster frame housing 1210 so as to rotate the cluster frame cover 1220, and a step motor may be used so as to be able to rotate forward and backward within a certain angle range. The output shaft of the cover rotation motor 1270 is coupled so as to mesh with the housing spur gear 1271. Therefore, when the cover rotation motor 1270 rotates, the housing spur gear 1271 rotates, whereby the cluster frame cover 1220 rotates with reference to the rear of the cluster frame housing 1210.

  As shown in FIGS. 33 and 40, the cluster pull-in / out operation unit 1280 includes a cover rotation motor 1270, a cluster so that the cluster terminal 300 is automatically pulled in or pulled out while being docked in the cluster frame housing 1210. This is for sequence control of each of the rotation motor 1241 and the cluster sliding motor 1244. The button can be installed in front of the cluster frame housing 1210 so that the driver can easily operate, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the same operation is possible with the in-vehicle button 71 installed on the steering wheel 10 of the vehicle 1. You may comprise so that it may be.

  As an example of a specific sequence control of the cluster withdrawal / withdrawal operation device 1280, a detailed process of pulling in the cluster terminal 300 while the cluster terminal 300 is docked in the cluster frame 1200 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. Explained.

  First, as shown in FIG. 33, the rotation of the cover rotation motor 1270 controls the cluster frame cover 1220 so that the front of the cluster frame cover 1220 rises and the cluster removal hole 1211 of the cluster frame housing 1210 is opened. Rotate.

  Next, as illustrated in FIGS. 34 and 35, the driver lays the cluster terminal 300 diagonally so as to tilt obliquely downward and inserts the cluster terminal 300 into the cluster detachment hole 1211. At this time, when the cluster docking terminal 330 of the cluster terminal 300 is docked to the cluster docking connector 1260 of the cluster frame 1200, this is automatically detected and the rotation of the cluster sliding motor 1244 is controlled, together with the cluster lifter 1247 and the cluster terminal. 300 slides along the sliding rack gear 1242 obliquely downward of the cluster frame housing 1210.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 36 and 37, when the cluster lifter 1247 slides downward and reaches a certain height of the sliding rack gear 1242, the cluster rotation motor 1241 and the cluster sliding motor 1244 are simultaneously controlled to rotate. This is because the cluster terminal 300 and the cluster lifter 1247 are slidingly moved along the sliding rack gear 1242 below the cluster frame housing 1210, while the sliding rack gear 1242 is rotated to move the cluster terminal 300 to a fixed position of the cluster frame housing 1210. This is because it is located in the area.

  Finally, as illustrated in FIGS. 38 and 39, when the cluster terminal 300 reaches a fixed position of the cluster frame housing 1210 and the upper rear portion of the cluster terminal 300 contacts the rear fixing jaw 1291 of the cluster fixing unit 1290, This is automatically detected and the rotation of the cover rotation motor 1270 is controlled again. By controlling the rotation of the cover rotation motor 1270, the cluster frame cover 1220 is rotated so that the front of the cluster frame cover 1220 is lowered and the cluster removal hole 1211 of the cluster frame housing 1210 is closed.

  On the other hand, although not shown in the drawing, the process of pulling out the cluster terminal 300 from the cluster frame 1200 by the sequence control based on the operation to the cluster pull-in / out controller 1280 is performed in the reverse order of the above-described pull-in process. I can say that. Thereby, the cluster terminal 300 can be pulled out easily and automatically.

  The cluster fixing unit 1290 is for fixing the cluster terminal 300 that is in a fixed position inside the cluster frame housing 1210 without being shaken by an external impact. The cluster fixing portion 1290 is fixed while supporting the rear of the cluster terminal 300 that is in a fixed position inside the cluster frame housing 1210, and is fixed to the through hole 1212 that is vertically formed above the cluster frame housing 1210. The rear fixed jaw 1291 that protrudes downward from the rear peripheral edge of the cluster frame and protrudes below the cluster frame cover 1220 that supports and fixes the front of the cluster terminal 300 in a fixed position inside the cluster frame housing 1210. And a front fixed jaw 1292 installed. The front fixed jaw 1292 is engaged with the front of the cluster terminal 300 in the fixed position when the cluster frame cover 1220 is closed. Accordingly, when the cluster frame cover 1220 is closed, the cluster terminal 300 is sandwiched between the rear fixed jaw 1291 and the front fixed jaw 1292, and is fixed while being supported without shaking back and front.

  In addition to this, when the cluster frame 1200 is fixedly installed on the cluster frame mounting portion 100 formed in the dashboard 20 fixedly installed behind the steering wheel 10 of the vehicle 1 as described above, the frame mounting terminal 110 is fixed. In addition, it can be confirmed that the cluster frame mounting part 100 and the cluster frame 1200 are electrically connected to each other through the cluster frame connector 1250. Although not shown in the drawings, the cluster frame 1200 can be fixedly installed on the cluster frame mounting portion 100 using widely known fastening members such as a fixing clip, a fixing bracket, and a fixing pin. Further, although not shown in the drawing, the cluster frame 1200 may include illumination means inside the cluster frame housing 1210 in order to further improve the visibility of the cluster terminal 300 at night.

  Further, the configuration of the cluster terminal 300, the information displayed by the cluster terminal 300, and the like are the same as those in the first embodiment described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  As described above, the vehicle cluster system according to the second embodiment can achieve the same operational effects as the vehicle cluster system according to the first embodiment.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment of the vehicle cluster system according to the present invention will be described. In addition, about the structure similar to 1st embodiment, description may be abbreviate | omitted by providing the same reference number.

  The vehicle cluster system according to the present embodiment includes a cluster frame mounting part 100, a cluster frame 2200, and a cluster terminal 300, as shown in FIGS. The cluster frame mounting portion 100 includes a frame mounting terminal 110. The cluster frame 2200 includes a cluster frame housing 2210, a transparent window 2220, a lifting portion 2230, a cluster frame connector 2240, a cluster docking connector 2250, and a cluster entry / exit operation unit 2260. As in the first embodiment, the cluster terminal 300 includes a terminal case 310, a display panel 320, a cluster docking terminal 330, a terminal microcomputer 340, a GPS 350, a power supply unit 360, a display unit 370, a terminal operation unit 380, A communication unit 390 and a memory unit 400 are included.

  As shown in FIGS. 42, 43, and 44, the cluster frame mounting portion 100 is recessed from the dashboard 20 fixedly installed behind the steering wheel 10 of the vehicle 1, and information is received from various sensors installed in the vehicle 1. The frame mounting terminal 110 is electrically connected to each of the ECU 40 and the battery 50. Here, the electrical connection with the ECU 40 is for displaying information related to the traveling state of the vehicle 1 on the display panel 320 of the cluster terminal 300. The ECU 40 is an electronic control unit and has a RAM and a ROM. The RAM of the ECU 40 has a function of temporarily storing various signals generated during operation of the automobile, and the ROM has a function of storing a control program and control data necessary for the automobile to move. The ECU 40 is equipped with various sensors installed in the vehicle at the same time as the vehicle power is turned on, for example, a sensor for checking an engine speed related to the engine, an amount of engine oil, an air conditioning related temperature sensor, a safety air bag, a seat belt sensor. Receives information from various sensors such as speed, ABS, left and right rotation sensors related to vehicle movement. At this time, communication of all signals received or transmitted to the ECU 40 is performed by CAN communication which is an automobile communication standard. Since the functions and operations of the ECU 40 and various sensors installed in the vehicle 1 are widely known in the conventional automobile technology, detailed description thereof is omitted. Further, the electrical connection with the battery 50 is for supplying power to the cluster terminal 300. Here, the battery 50 is a general battery installed in a vehicle, and since this is a widely known technique, a detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The frame mounting terminal 110 provided in the cluster frame mounting unit 100 electrically connects the cluster terminal 300 installed in the cluster frame 2200 to the ECU 40 and the battery 50, so that the cluster frame connector 2240 of the cluster frame 2200 is connected. And is electrically connected. At this time, the frame mounting terminal 110 is a terminal to which data communication wiring is connected so that a signal from the ECU 40 can be finally transmitted to the cluster terminal 300.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 44, the cluster frame mounting part 100 is depressed with a part of the front surface and upper surface of the dashboard 20 opened so that the cluster frame 2200 can be inserted and fixedly installed. The formed and depressed shape corresponds to the shape of the cluster frame 2200.

  Further, although not shown in the drawing, the cluster frame attaching portion 100 includes fastening means for fastening fastening members such as a fixing clip, a fixing bracket, and a fixing pin so that the cluster frame 2200 can be fixedly installed.

  As shown in FIGS. 41 to 50, the cluster frame 2200 is electrically connected to the frame attachment terminal 110 while being fixedly installed on the cluster frame attachment portion 100. The cluster frame 2200 includes a cluster frame housing 2210, a transparent window 2220, a lifting portion 2230, a cluster frame connector 2240, a cluster docking connector 2250, and a cluster entry / exit operation unit 2260.

  The cluster frame housing 2210 has a detachable hole cover 2212 that is fixedly installed on the cluster frame mounting portion 100 and opens or closes the cluster detachable hole 2211 that is formed in the vertical direction with the upper surface opened by a spring force. The desorption hole cover 2212 is rotatably installed in the upper opening of the cluster desorption hole 2211. A space in which the cluster terminal 300 is accommodated is provided in the cluster frame housing 2210.

  Here, the reason why the cluster detaching hole 2211 is vertically formed through the upper portion is that, as shown in FIGS. 45 and 46, the driver can easily dock the cluster terminal 300 inside the cluster frame housing 2210 (or This is to enable insertion). The cluster terminal 300 docked inside the cluster frame housing 2210 through the cluster detaching hole 2211 is automatically moved to a fixed position inside the cluster frame housing 2210 and fixed through the lifting unit 2230 and the cluster pull-in / out operation unit 2260. .

  48 and 49, the desorption hole cover 2212 is rotatably installed in the upper opening of the cluster desorption hole 2211 via a hinge 2213. At this time, one end is fixed to the cluster frame housing 2210 with the coil portion fixed to the hinge 2213. Thus, a spring force acts on the attachment / detachment hole cover 2212 through the torsion coil spring 2214 fixed to the attachment / detachment hole cover 2212. That is, in a normal state, the desorption hole cover 2212 closes the cluster desorption hole 2211. On the other hand, when the cluster terminal 300 is pulled into or pulled out of the cluster detaching hole 2211, the detaching hole cover 2212 is hinged below or above the cluster detaching hole 2211 to open the cluster detaching hole 2211. When the cluster terminal 300 is completely drawn into the cluster frame housing 2210 or completely pulled out (or separated) from the cluster frame housing 2210, the spring force (or elastic force) of the torsion coil spring 2214 is obtained. To return to the original position to close the cluster removal hole 2211. Thereby, foreign matter can be prevented from entering the cluster frame housing 2210.

  The transparent window 2220 is coupled to the front of the cluster frame housing 2210 so that the cluster terminal 300 docked inside the cluster frame housing 2210 is protected. A convex lens may be used as the transparent window 2220 so that information regarding the traveling state, position, and route of the vehicle 1 displayed on the cluster terminal 300 can be enlarged and displayed.

  The lifting unit 2230 lowers the cluster terminal 300 inserted vertically into the cluster frame housing 2210 through the cluster attachment / detachment hole 2211 so that the cluster terminal 300 is in a fixed position inside the cluster frame housing 2210 and rotates backward. Let That is, the lifting unit 2230 linearly and rotationally moves the cluster terminal 300 so as to be in a fixed position inside the cluster frame housing 2210. Therefore, as illustrated in FIG. 50, the lifting portion 2230 includes a cluster rotation motor 2231, a screw support 2232, a lifting screw 2233, a lifting ball bush 2234, a cluster lifting motor 2235, a guide rod 2236, and a cluster lifter 2237.

  The cluster rotation motor 2231 is fixedly installed on the inner lower surface of the cluster frame housing 2210 so that the screw support base 2232 can rotate within a certain angle range, and an output shaft is fixedly coupled to the screw support base 2232 to be connected to the screw support base 2232. It comes to be transmitted. The cluster rotation motor 2231 can be precisely controlled at a constant angle, and a step motor capable of forward and reverse rotation can be used. Here, the step motor is a motor that rotates at a certain angle by a pulse-shaped voltage, and the rotation angle is proportional to the number of input pulse signals, and the rotation speed is proportional to the frequency of the input pulse signals. .

  The screw support 2232 is rotatably coupled with the output shaft of the cluster rotation motor 2231 and supports the lower portion of the lifting screw 2233.

  One end of the lifting screw 2233 is coupled to the screw support 2232 so as to be rotatable about the axis. Further, the lifting screw 2233 rotates and moves in the front-rear direction around the screw support base 2232 as the screw support base 2232 rotates in the front-rear direction. That is, the screw support 2232 is a support means provided for rotating the lifting screw 2233 in the front-rear direction according to the rotation direction of the cluster rotation motor 2231 while supporting the lifting screw 2233.

  The lifting ball bushing 2234 linearly moves up and down by forward and reverse rotation around the axis of the lifting screw 2233 with the inside engaged with the lifting screw 2233. Here, the lifting screw 2233 and the lifting ball bush 2234 are ball screw type linear conversion means, and can change the rotational motion into a linear motion.

  The cluster lifting motor 2235 is coupled to the other end of the lifting screw 2233 so as to rotate the lifting screw 2233 forward and backward about its axis, and can be precisely controlled at a certain angle like the cluster rotating motor 2231. A step motor capable of rotation may be used.

  The guide rod 2236 is installed through each of the screw support 2232, the lifting ball bushing 2234, and the cluster lifting motor 2235, and guides the linear movement of the lifting ball bushing 2234. That is, the lifting ball bushing 2234 is a means for guiding so that only the linear motion can be performed without rotating by the rotation of the lifting screw 2233.

  The cluster lifter 2237 is fixedly coupled to the lifting ball bush 2234 so as to move linearly up and down together with the lifting ball bush 2234. The cluster lifter 2237 moves downward and rotationally in a state where the cluster terminal 300 is accommodated by the cluster rotating motor 2231 and the cluster lifting motor 2235 while being positioned below the cluster detaching hole 2211. A cluster docking connector 2250 is fixedly installed below the cluster lifter 2237.

  Here, although the cluster lifter 2237 is not shown in the drawing, when the cluster terminal 300 is docked, the cluster lifter 2237 is operated by electronic control so as not to be detached when the cluster terminal 300 moves up and down and rotates. It has. In addition, the cluster lifter 2237 is made of a transparent material and accommodates only a part of the front and side surfaces of the left and right sides as well as the lower surface of the cluster terminal 300, so that the display panel 320 of the cluster terminal 300 is not hidden by the cluster lifter 2237. It is like that.

  The cluster frame connector 2240 is provided at the rear of the cluster frame housing 2210 so as to be electrically connected to the frame mounting terminal 110, and the signal from the ECU 40 is finally sent to the cluster terminal 300 in the same manner as the frame mounting terminal 110. A connector to which data communication wiring is connected so that transmission is possible is used.

  The cluster docking connector 2250 is electrically connected to the cluster frame connector 2240 and is fixedly installed on the lifting unit 2230 so that the cluster terminal 300 inserted into the cluster frame housing 2210 through the cluster attachment / detachment hole 2211 is docked. The Here, a USB socket may be installed as the cluster docking connector 2250 so as to supply data to the cluster terminal 300 and simultaneously perform data communication. As a result, data communication and power supply between the ECU 40 of the vehicle 1 and the cluster terminal 300 are possible.

  As shown in FIGS. 50 and 55, the cluster pull-in / out operation unit 2260 includes a cluster rotation motor 2231 and a cluster so that the cluster terminal 300 is automatically pulled in or pulled out while being docked in the cluster frame housing 2210. This is for controlling each of the lifting motors 2235 in sequence. The button can be installed in front of the cluster frame housing 1210 so that the driver can easily operate, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the same operation is possible with the in-vehicle button 71 installed on the steering wheel 10 of the vehicle 1. You may comprise so that it may be.

  As a specific example of the sequence control of the cluster entry / exit operation device 2260, the process of drawing the cluster terminal 300 in a state where the cluster terminal 300 is docked in the cluster frame 2200 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. Explained.

  First, as shown in FIGS. 50 and 51, the cluster terminal 300 is inserted into the cluster frame housing 2210 in the vertical direction through the cluster attachment / detachment hole 211 and docked. That is, the cluster docking connector 2250 and the cluster docking terminal 330 of the cluster terminal 300 are electrically connected. As described above, when the cluster terminal 300 is docked with the cluster frame housing 2210, this is automatically detected, and the rotation of the cluster lifting motor 2235 is controlled. By the rotation control of the cluster lifting motor 2235, the lifting screw 2233 rotates in one direction. Then, the lifting ball bushing 2234 descends as the lifting screw 2233 rotates in one direction. Therefore, the cluster lifter 2237 fixedly coupled to the lifting ball bush 2234 is also lowered, so that the cluster terminal 300 is automatically drawn into the cluster frame housing 2210.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 52 and 53, when the lifting ball bushing 2234 descends with the rotation of the lifting screw 2233 and reaches a certain height, that is, the cumulative number of rotations of the cluster lifting motor 2235 is a certain number. Is reached automatically, the operation of the cluster lifting motor 2235 is stopped. Thereafter, the rotation of the cluster rotation motor 2231 is controlled. The screw support 2232 rotates together with the output shaft of the cluster rotation motor 2231 toward the rear of the cluster frame housing 2210 by the rotation control of the cluster rotation motor 2231. The lifting screw 2233, the lifting ball bushing 2234, and the cluster lifter 2237 all rotate toward the rear of the cluster frame housing 2210 with the screw supporting table 2232 as the center of rotation. Due to this rotational movement, the cluster terminal 300 becomes a fixed position inside the cluster frame housing 2210.

  Here, the fixed position of the cluster terminal 300 is a position set in the cluster frame housing 2210 as shown in FIG. 54, and is controlled by rotation control of the cluster rotation motor 2231 and the cluster lifting motor 2235. In the cluster frame housing 2210, the cluster terminal 300 is a position where the cluster terminal 300 is rotated and moved backward and fixed.

  Finally, as shown in FIG. 54, when the cluster terminal 300 reaches a fixed position inside the cluster frame housing 2210, this is automatically detected and the operation of the cluster rotation motor 2231 is stopped. At this time, the attachment / detachment hole cover 2212 opened by the cluster terminal 300 is free from interference with the cluster terminal 300, so that the cluster attachment / removal hole 2211 is closed by rotating the hinge by spring force (elastic force). To do.

  On the other hand, as an example different from FIG. 54, the upper part of the cluster terminal 300 is tilted rearward and rotated so that the attachment / detachment hole cover 2212 can be returned to the original position by the rotation control of the cluster rotation motor 2231. Thereafter, it may be moved again in the vertical direction.

  On the other hand, although not shown in the drawing, the process of pulling out the cluster terminal 300 from the cluster frame 2200 by the sequence control based on the operation to the cluster pull-in / out controller 2260 is performed in the reverse order of the above-described pull-in process. I can say that. Thereby, the cluster terminal 300 can be pulled out easily and automatically.

  In addition to this, when the cluster frame 2200 is fixedly installed on the cluster frame mounting portion 100 formed in the dashboard 20 fixedly installed behind the steering wheel 10 of the vehicle 1 as described above, the frame mounting terminal 110 is fixed. In addition, it can be confirmed that the cluster frame mounting part 100 and the cluster frame 2200 are electrically connected to each other through the cluster frame connector 2240. Although not shown in the drawings, the cluster frame 2200 can be fixedly installed on the cluster frame mounting portion 100 by using widely known fastening members such as a fixing clip, a fixing bracket, and a fixing pin. Further, although not shown in the drawing, the cluster frame 2200 may include illumination means inside the cluster frame housing 2210 in order to further improve the visibility of the cluster terminal 300 at night.

  Further, the configuration of the cluster terminal 300, the information displayed by the cluster terminal 300, and the like are the same as those in the first embodiment described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  As described above, the vehicle cluster system according to the third embodiment can achieve the same operational effects as the vehicle cluster system according to the first embodiment.

(Fourth embodiment)
Next, a fourth embodiment of the vehicle cluster system according to the present invention will be described. In addition, about the structure similar to 1st embodiment, description may be abbreviate | omitted by providing the same reference number.

  As shown in FIGS. 58 and 60, the cluster frame mounting portion 100 is recessed and formed in the dashboard 20 fixedly installed behind the steering wheel 10 of the vehicle 1, and receives information from various sensors installed in the vehicle 1. A frame mounting terminal 110 electrically connected to each of the ECU 40 and the battery 50 is provided. Here, the electrical connection with the ECU 40 is for displaying information related to the traveling state of the vehicle 1 on the display panel 320 of the cluster terminal 300. The ECU 40 is an electronic control unit and has a RAM and a ROM. The RAM of the ECU 40 has a function of temporarily storing various signals generated during operation of the automobile, and the ROM has a function of storing a control program and control data necessary for the automobile to move. The ECU 40 is equipped with various sensors installed in the vehicle at the same time as the vehicle power is turned on, for example, a sensor for checking an engine speed related to the engine, an amount of engine oil, an air conditioning related temperature sensor, a safety air bag, a seat belt sensor. Receives information from various sensors such as speed, ABS, left and right rotation sensors related to vehicle movement. At this time, communication of all signals received or transmitted to the ECU 40 is performed by CAN communication which is an automobile communication standard. Since the functions and operations of the ECU 40 and various sensors installed in the vehicle 1 are widely known in the conventional automobile technology, detailed description thereof is omitted. Further, the electrical connection with the battery 50 is for supplying power to the cluster terminal 300. Here, the battery 50 is a general battery installed in a vehicle, and since this is a widely known technique, a detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The frame mounting terminal 110 provided in the cluster frame mounting unit 100 electrically connects the cluster terminal 300 installed in the cluster frame 3200 to the ECU 40 and the battery 50, so that the cluster frame connector 3240 of the cluster frame 3200 is connected. And is electrically connected. At this time, the frame mounting terminal 110 is a terminal to which data communication wiring is connected so that a signal from the ECU 40 can be finally transmitted to the cluster terminal 300.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 59, the cluster frame mounting part 100 is depressed with the front surface and a part of the upper surface of the dashboard 20 being opened so that the cluster frame 3200 can be inserted and fixedly installed. The formed shape corresponding to the depression corresponds to the shape of the cluster frame 3200.

  Further, although not shown in the drawing, the cluster frame attaching portion 100 includes fastening means for fastening fastening members such as a fixing clip, a fixing bracket, and a fixing pin so that the cluster frame 3200 can be fixedly installed.

  As shown in FIGS. 57 to 68, the cluster frame 3200 is electrically connected to the frame mounting terminal 110 while being fixedly installed on the cluster frame mounting portion 100. The cluster frame 3200 includes a cluster frame housing 3210, a cluster docking part 3220, a cluster fixing part 3230, a cluster frame connector 3240 and a cluster docking connector 3250.

  The cluster frame housing 3210 is fixedly installed on the cluster frame mounting portion 100 and has an opening in the front, and a space in which the cluster terminal 300 is accommodated is provided. Here, the reason for opening the front is that the driver can easily dock (or insert) the cluster terminal 300 into the cluster frame housing 3210 as shown in FIGS. Because. A cluster docking portion 3220 is rotatably installed on the inner lower surface of the cluster frame housing 3210.

  The cluster docking portion 3220 is installed at the lower portion of the cluster frame housing 3210 so as to be rotatable in the front-rear direction, and includes a spring 3222 and a cluster container 3224. At this time, in the cluster frame housing 3210, the docking portion rotation groove 3211 is formed in a recessed manner on the inner lower surface so that the cluster docking portion 3220 can rotate in the front-rear direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 64 and 65, the spring 3222 is rotatably coupled to the docking portion rotation groove 3211 through the hinge 3221. When there is no external force, the upper portion of the cluster docking portion 3220 is inclined forward by the spring force. In this way, it is fixedly installed on the hinge 3221. The reason why the upper part of the cluster docking part 3220 is tilted forward through the spring 3222 is that the upper and lower parts of the cluster frame housing 3210 are closed and the front part is opened as shown in FIGS. This is because the cluster terminal 300 can be inserted into the cluster docking unit 3220 and can be easily docked in a state where the cluster terminal 300 is inclined downward in the rearward direction.

  For example, the spring 3222 may be a torsion coil spring in which one end is fixed to the cluster frame housing 3210 and the other end is fixed to the cluster docking portion 3220 while the coil portion is fixedly installed on the hinge 3221. Accordingly, when there is no external force, the upper portion of the cluster docking portion 3220 is maintained to be inclined forward by the spring force, and when there is an external force that pushes backward, the cluster docking portion 3220 rotates backward, and when the external force disappears, the spring The cluster docking part 3220 can be rotated again so as to be inclined forward by force. Here, the external force is transmitted to the spring 3222 when the user pushes the cluster terminal 300 to the upper part of the cluster frame housing 3210 while the cluster terminal 300 is inserted into the cluster docking unit 3220. The force and the force transmitted to the spring 3222 by the cluster terminal 300 maintained in a state of being pushed backward through the cluster fixing unit 3230 described later.

  The cluster container 3224 accommodates the lower part of the cluster terminal 300 while being coupled to the upper part of the hinge 3221. A cluster accommodation hole 3223 in which the cluster docking connector 3250 is fixedly installed is recessed in the cluster accommodation body 3224 in the vertical direction. Although not shown in the drawing, the cluster container 3224 is electronic so that the cluster terminal 300 is not detached when the cluster terminal 300 is housed in the cluster container 3224 and docked in the cluster docking connector 3250. Locking means may be provided that operate under control. Further, the cluster container 3224 is made of a transparent material so that only a part of the front and side surfaces on both the left and right sides are accommodated together with the lower surface of the cluster terminal 300 so that the display panel 320 of the cluster terminal 300 is not hidden. It is like that.

  The cluster fixing unit 3230 is for fixing the upper part of the cluster terminal 300 inside the cluster frame housing 3210, and is installed on the upper part of the cluster frame housing 3210. The cluster fixing portion 3230 includes a fastener 3231, a weight 3232, and a fastener fixing body 3233. In the cluster frame housing 3210, a fastener groove 3212 is recessed from the inside upward, and a fastener fixing body groove 3213 partially communicating with the fastener groove 3212 is recessed downward from the upper surface.

  The fastener 3231 is hinged to the cluster frame housing 3210 so that it can rotate in the fastener groove 3212. At the front end and the rear end of the fastener 3231, jaws that are fitted into the upper front surface and the rear surface of the cluster terminal 300 are formed to protrude downward. Therefore, when an external force is applied to the cluster terminal 300 housed in the cluster container 3224 and the cluster docking unit 3220 rotates rearward, as shown in FIGS. The front end and rear end jaws of 3231 are fitted into the upper front surface and the rear surface of the cluster terminal 300, respectively. As a result, the upper part of the cluster terminal 300 is fixed inside the cluster frame housing 3210.

  The weight 3232 has a rear end of the fastener 3231 so that the front end of the fastener 3231 is inserted into the fastener groove 3212 and the rear end of the fastener 3231 protrudes downward from the fastener groove 3212 when there is no external force. Installed nearby. That is, the weight of the rear end of the fastener 3231 is set to be heavier than the weight of the front end so that the fastener 3231 is inclined downward in the direction of the rear end during normal times when there is no external force. Accordingly, the cluster terminal 300 pushed backward by the driver's pushing force comes into contact with the rear end of the fastener 3231, and the fastener 3231 rotates through this, so that each of the front end and the rear end of the fastener 3231. Is inserted into each of the upper front surface and rear surface of the cluster terminal 300.

  The fastener fixing body 3233 is installed in the fastener fixing body groove 3213 so that the state in which the fastener 3231 is fitted to each of the upper front surface and the rear surface of the cluster terminal 300 is fixed or released. The fastener fixing body 3233 is a fastener fixing plate for fixing the fastener 3231 in a state where the fastener fixing body 3233 is fitted on each of the upper front surface and the rear surface of the cluster terminal 300 when the fastener fixing body 3233 moves to the upper surface of the fastener 3231. 3234 and a fixing plate operating machine 3235 that moves the fastener fixing plate 3234 to the upper surface of the fastener 3231 by the operation of the user. For example, as shown in FIGS. 63 and 68, the fixed plate operating machine 3235 can move the fastener fixing plate 3234 to the upper surface of the fastener 3231 by a sliding button operation.

  The cluster frame connector 3240 is provided behind the cluster frame housing 3210 so as to be electrically connected to the frame mounting terminal 110, and the signal of the ECU 40 can be finally transmitted to the cluster terminal 300 as with the frame mounting terminal 110. Thus, a connector to which data communication wiring is connected is used.

  The cluster docking connector 3250 is electrically connected to the cluster frame connector 3240 and is fixedly installed on the cluster container 3224 of the cluster docking unit 3220 so as to be electrically docked with the cluster docking terminal 330 of the cluster terminal 300. Here, as the cluster docking connector 3250, a USB socket may be installed so as to supply data to the cluster terminal 300 and simultaneously perform data communication. Thereby, data communication and power supply between the ECU 40 of the vehicle 1 and the cluster terminal 300 can be performed.

  In addition, as described above, the cluster frame housing 3210 is provided with the cluster fixing portion 3230 in the upper upper portion, and is inserted into the cluster docking portion 3220 by being inclined downward and docked to the cluster docking portion 3220. By pushing the upper part of the machine 300 backward, the cluster terminal 300 is fixed to the cluster frame housing 3210 by the cluster fixing part 3230.

  Although not shown in the drawing, removal (or separation) of the cluster terminal 300 from the cluster frame 3200 can be easily removed by performing the reverse process of the docking process described above. That is, first, the user operates the fixed plate operating unit 3235 of the cluster fixing unit 3230 so that the locked state of the cluster terminal 300 is released. Then, when the user applies an external force directed forward to the cluster terminal 300, the upper portion of the cluster terminal 300 is easily detached from the fastener 3231 of the cluster fixing unit 3230. As the cluster docking unit 3220 rotates forward by the spring force (or elastic force) of the spring 3222, the upper portion of the cluster terminal 300 is moved forward, so that the user can easily remove the cluster terminal 300. It is possible to leave.

  Although not shown in the drawings, the cluster frame 3200 can be fixedly installed on the cluster frame mounting portion 100 by using widely known fastening members such as a fixing clip, a fixing bracket, and a fixing pin. Further, although not shown in the drawing, the cluster frame 1200 may include illumination means inside the cluster frame housing 3210 in order to further improve the visibility of the cluster terminal 300 at night.

  Further, the configuration of the cluster terminal 300, the information displayed by the cluster terminal 300, and the like are the same as those in the first embodiment described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  As described above, the vehicle cluster system according to the fourth embodiment can achieve the same operational effects as the vehicle cluster system according to the first embodiment.
