Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a driving instruction device used in a mode driving test of a vehicle such as an automobile.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 For example, a mode driving test of an automobile is generally performed as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, a driver (not shown) sitting in the driver's seat of the vehicle 4 holding the rear wheel 3 on the roller 2 of the chassis dynamometer 1 operates the remote control switch 5, for example. Then, the start signal is sent to the data processing device 6 having a function of controlling the entire test apparatus. As a result, the data processing device 6 sends a start signal to the operation instructing device 7 and starts data collection. Then, the driver operates so as to match the speed indicated by the traveling speed pattern 8 displayed on the screen of the drive instruction device 7, and analyzes based on the data collected at that time.

In FIG. 4, 9 is a dynamo controller that controls the chassis dynamometer 1 in accordance with a command from the data processing device 6, and 10 is an exhaust gas analysis device that analyzes the exhaust gas emitted from the engine of the automobile 4, whose output is It is input to the data processing device 6.

By the way, in the past, as the operation instructing device 7, a relatively large CRT as shown in FIG. 5 (A) was generally used, and this was generally installed outside and in front of the automobile 1. .. This is so that the driver sitting in the driver's seat of the automobile 4 can easily see the traveling speed pattern 8 displayed on the screen of the driving instruction device 7 in that state.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the remote control switch 5 is provided with switches 5a, 5b, 5c for outputting a start signal, a stop signal, and an interruption signal, respectively, and is provided near the driver. It was placed.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-mentioned conventional technique, the operation instruction device 7 is made up of a relatively large CRT, so that its handling is troublesome. In particular, it is necessary to set the position of the driving instruction device 7 so that it can be easily seen by the driver each time the size of the vehicle 1 to be tested changes, but in such a case, the installation work was very troublesome. ..

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above matters, and an object thereof is to provide a driving instruction device which is extremely compact, easy for the driver to see, and extremely easy to handle. is there.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the driving instruction device according to the present invention, the pattern display portion for displaying the traveling speed pattern of the mode driving is constituted by the thin display device, and the pattern display portion is used as the data processing device. It is incorporated into a small and thin case together with a remote control switch for sending commands to it.

Examples of the thin display device include a liquid crystal display (hereinafter referred to as LCD) and a display using an electroluminescence element (hereinafter referred to as ELD).

[0010]

[Action]

 According to the above configuration, the pattern display unit for displaying the traveling speed pattern of the mode operation is composed of a thin display device such as an LCD, so that the pattern display unit can be made small and thin. Since this pattern display unit is incorporated into one small and thin case together with a remote control switch for sending a command to the data processing device, it is used as a driving instruction device. Can be placed on the board.

[0011]

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a driving instruction apparatus according to the present invention. In this figure, 11 is a pattern display section, 12 is a control section, 13 is a remote control switch, and these members are shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the casing is integrally contained in one case 14 made of synthetic resin, for example, and is formed in the operation instruction device 15. Reference numeral 16 is a connection cable for exchanging signals with the data processing device 6 (see FIG. 4).

The pattern display unit 11 displays a traveling speed pattern of mode driving, and is composed of, for example, an LCD. This LCD is commercially available and can be obtained at low cost. In addition, LCDs of recent years have a thickness of several mm, and the images are clear, so that the pattern display unit 11 can be made small and thin, and the speed pattern can be suitably displayed. You can

The control unit 12 is composed of, for example, a control circuit 12a and a memory 12b in which a program of the traveling speed pattern 8 necessary for the mode operation is built. The remote control switch 13 includes a start switch 13a, a stop switch 13b, an interruption switch 13c, and the like. When these switches 13a to 13c are operated, a predetermined signal is sent to the data processing device 6 via the control unit 12. .. For example, when the start switch 13a is pressed, a start signal is issued to the data processing device 6. Then, the data processing device 6 enters a state of data collection, and a start signal is sent from the data processing device 6 to the control unit 12, and based on this, a traveling speed pattern 17 according to the test time is patterned. It is sequentially displayed on the display unit 11. Incidentally, 18 is a marker showing the current vehicle speed.

As shown in FIG. 3, the driving instruction device 15 having the above-described configuration is mounted on, for example, the dashboard 19 of the vehicle under test. Therefore, the driver can easily see the traveling speed pattern 17 displayed on the pattern display unit 11, and can easily perform a predetermined driving. Further, since the pattern display unit 11 and the remote control switch 13 are housed in one case 14, the switch operation is easy.

Although the pattern display unit 11 is composed of an LCD in the above-mentioned embodiment, an ELD may be used instead. Further, the traveling speed pattern may be sent from the data processing device 6. Further, the signal transmission / reception between the operation instruction device 15 and the data processing device 6 may be performed wirelessly.

[0017]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, in the present invention, the pattern display unit for displaying the traveling speed pattern of the mode operation is constituted by the thin display device such as LCD, so that the pattern display unit can be made smaller and thinner. Since this pattern display unit, together with a remote control switch for sending a command to the data processing device, is incorporated into one small and thin case as a driving instruction device, it is used, for example, on a dashboard of a car. It can be kept close to the driver, such as above.

Therefore, the driver can surely and easily visually check the traveling speed pattern formed on the pattern display portion. Moreover, even if the type and size of the vehicle used for the test changes, the driver's instruction device can be placed inside the vehicle such as the dashboard, and it is not necessary to worry about setting the position. Further, since the operation instruction device according to the present invention is provided with the pattern display section and the remote control switch in one case, it is easy for the driver to handle, and it is cheaper than the one using the CRT.
