[0018]

In the self-luminous pointer type meter according to the present invention, the pointer main body rotates in response to the rotation of the pointer shaft rotated by the inner unit driven by receiving a predetermined signal. Electric power is supplied from the inner unit side to the light emitting element arranged on the mounting member by the conducting portion. At this time, since the conducting portion is formed to have a length equal to or longer than the length of the light emitting element, conduction between the inner unit and the light emitting element can be achieved near the pointer shaft. If conduction is possible near the pointer axis, for example, if a lead wire is provided along the pointer axis, the lead wire can be fixed easily and stably.

When electric power is supplied to the light emitting element from the inner unit side by the conducting portion, the pointer body emits light by the light emitted from the light emitting element. Since the light emitting element is arranged on the mounting member so as to be off the tip of the pointer shaft, the pointer main body can be extended to above the tip of the pointer shaft.

Further, since the pointer main body is extended to above the tip of the pointer shaft, the light emitting portion of the pointer main body is from the center of rotation of the pointer main body, that is, from the base of the pointer main body to the tip of the pointer main body. The pointer light emitting portion can be made longer. Therefore, in the self-luminous pointer type meter according to the present invention, such a long pointer light emitting portion receives light from the light emitting element and emits light, and a novel appearance of the meter can be realized.

Further, in the self-luminous pointer type instrument according to the second aspect, a cover member is provided which forms an internal space for accommodating the light emitting element together with the mounting member. This also prevents light from leaking from a portion other than the pointer body when a light emitting diode or the like having a strong directivity is adopted as the light emitting element. Therefore, the light emitting portion of the main body of the pointer emits light more clearly, and the design can be secured.

Further, since the tip of the light emitting element is accurately aligned with the end of the pointer body by the positioning portion provided inside the cover member and the mounting member, the directivity of the emitted light is considerably narrow. However, the emitted light can be efficiently incident on the pointer main body, and the emission brightness of the pointer can be excellently secured.

Further, if a gap is provided between the positioning portion and the outer peripheral portion of the light emitting element, heat is generated during operation of the light emitting element, and even if the outer peripheral portion of the light emitting element bulges due to thermal expansion, stress due to thermal expansion Does not face the inside of the element, and it is possible to avoid a disconnection accident of a thin metal wire or the like inside the element. Further, by inserting a cushioning material in the gap provided between the positioning portion and the outer peripheral portion of the light emitting element, it is possible to prevent the light emitting element from shaking or generating abnormal noise due to vibration or the like.

5 are arranged. The pointer main body 2 is formed of a light guide body such as a transparent synthetic resin (for example, acrylic resin or polycarbonate resin), and a colored layer is formed on the upper surface or the lower surface thereof by a hot stamp or the like.

The pointer main body 2 does not have a colored layer,
It can also be formed of a colored translucent synthetic resin.
The end portion of the pointer main body 2 on the base portion side is wide and has a shape corresponding to the spherical tip of the element in order to efficiently enter the light emitted from the light emitting element 5.

The cover member 3 is formed of a black synthetic resin (for example, Duracon or ABS resin) into a cap shape, and has a slit for inserting the pointer main body 2, and inside thereof, as shown in FIG. Positioning ribs 3a, 3b, 3c for positioning the light emitting element 5 are provided on the base plate. These positioning ribs 3a, 3b, 3c are formed along the cylindrical outer periphery of the light emitting element 5 so that the front view has an arc shape.

The bent connection portion 6a is bent inward in this state, and each lead terminal 5a is fixed by crimping so as to be sandwiched between the bent connection portion 6a and the end portion.

As described above, since the end portion of the connector fitting 6 is bent upward and the lead terminal 5a of the light emitting element 5 is connected thereto, the lead terminal 5a can be used in a straight state without being bent. Therefore, it is possible to avoid an adverse effect on the light emitting element 5, which is likely to occur when the lead terminal 5a is bent.

On the other hand, the connecting members 7 are fitted into the connecting terminal portions 6b located on both sides of the center of the mounting member 4, respectively.

The pair of connector fittings 6 insert-molded in the mounting member 4 are integrally press-molded in advance by providing a connecting portion 6c at the end thereof as shown in FIG. After insert molding in the state and connecting the lead terminal 5a of the light emitting element 5, the connecting portion 6c
By separating the parts, a pair of parts can be handled as one part, and the number of steps can be reduced especially at the time of molding and when setting the insert in the mold.

On the other hand, the pointer main body 2 is fixed by heat caulking of the resin portion or an adhesive while the base portion which is the end portion thereof is inserted into the internal space formed by the cover member 3 and the mounting member 4.

Is arranged such that its base is located above the boss 4a for inserting the pointer shaft. That is, the base of the pointer main body 2 is arranged on the tip of the pointer shaft 26, and the light emitting element 5 is arranged behind the base of the pointer main body 2, that is, at a position deviated rearward from above the tip of the pointer shaft. .

Further, the slit for inserting the pointer main body formed in the cover member 3 is deeply formed above the pointer shaft 26, and the whole of the pointer main body 2, that is, the tip portion of the pointer main body 2 (the upper part of the pointer shaft 26). It is designed to emit light in the long part up to.

With this structure, when the light emitting element 5 emits light, light is emitted from the base of the pointer main body 2 (the center of rotation where the pointer shaft is located) to the tip of the pointer, and the pointer 1 is longer than the conventional one. The light is displayed and displayed in the scale form. As a result, light is emitted from the vicinity of the center of rotation of the pointer main body 2 to the tip thereof, and a novel design characteristic that has not been obtained in the past can be obtained.

Further, when the self-luminous pointer type instrument is housed in the instrument panel of the vehicle and used as the instrument for the vehicle, the appearance of the instrument is further improved by making the front part of the instrument panel a black face. .

When the light emitting element 5 generates heat during operation, the outer peripheral portion of the light emitting element 5 swells due to thermal expansion. However, if the outer peripheral portion of the light emitting element 5 is firmly pressed by the fixing member, thermal expansion will occur. The stress may be directed to the inside of the element and break the thin metal wire inside the element. Therefore, such a disconnection accident can be avoided by providing a slight gap between the positioning ribs 3a to 3c and the outer peripheral portion of the light emitting element 5.
