Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To incline an automatic action face part at the audio-visual time of a display part by providing a rotatable operating face part, disposed at a nearly orthogonal face to a display face, in such a way as to be inclined in the front direction of equipment by the operation of a link. SOLUTION: In the state of an operating face part 3 being completely enclosed in a display unit part 2, a bottom 7b part is pressed to rotate a button 7 around a rotating shaft 7a. Then a slide 5 is moved to the left by a button pressing part 7c, and a pin 5b comes off a slot horizontal part. Since the pin 3b side of the operating face part 3 is pressed upward by a spring 10, a slide pin 5b moves upward, and the pin 3b side of the operating face part 3 is rotated upward around a rotating shaft 3a. The operating face part 3 is thereby inclined by an angle part moved upward in a longitudinal groove, and a key button or the like is fixed in an easily-operated inclined position by the engagement between the pin 5b and a horizontal cam part 6c of a slide cam plate 6.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle-mounted display device in which a display unit is pushed out from a main body and the display unit can be rotated after the pushing operation is completed. The present invention relates to a mechanism for inclining an operation panel surface on which, etc. are arranged into an optimum state for operation during viewing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a vehicle-mounted display device for mounting a device body on an in-dash portion of a car, etc., a display panel is used when not in use in order to avoid the weather resistance of the display panel for display and the risk of collision when not in use. There is a device to be stored inside the main body. In these devices, the display unit is extruded in parallel with the slide base by hand or by using a motor or the like when viewed, and in the state where the extruding is completed, the display unit is manually or rotated by the motor or the like to be upright. When the display is stored, the display unit is mounted on the slide base, slides, and is stored inside the device. Conventionally, the control panel for selecting TV channels, adjusting the volume, and displaying TV channels is on the front of the set when the display unit is retracted, and the display unit is pushed out to the viewing position to simplify the structure. Then, it was on the upper surface of the display unit for subsequent rotation. For this reason, the control panel attached to the display unit is usually the top surface, which is normally fixed while facing upward.

[0003]

Therefore, although the control panel is located on the front surface when it is stored, the display surface faces the top surface of the display unit because the display unit is rotated and erected during viewing. Further, when the display unit is inclined more than the vertical, the operation surface portion is directed rearward. For this reason, the visibility of the buttons and the liquid crystal display unit arranged during button operation is poor and the operability is poor. Further, in order to perform button operation in these states, it is necessary to perform blind touch or rotate the screen once to the front, which is difficult to use.

[0004]

To achieve the above object, the present invention according to claim 1 provides a display unit built in a display device main body, a slide base for sliding the display unit, and the display unit. In a device having the display unit that is rotatably operated on the slide base in a pulled-out state, a rotatable operation surface unit provided on a surface substantially orthogonal to the display surface and one of A display device characterized by a link rotatably attached to a slide base, and the other of which is rotatably attached to the operation surface part, and the operation surface part is inclined in the device front direction by the operation of the link. . According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a display unit built in a display device main body, a slide base for sliding the display unit, and a rotatably operation on the slide base with the display unit pulled out. In a device having a display unit, a rotatable operation surface unit provided on a surface substantially orthogonal to the display surface and the operation surface unit by operating an eject button provided on the display unit or the operation surface unit. Is a display device characterized by being inclined in the direction of the display surface.

[0005]

According to the structure of the present invention according to claim 1, when the display panel is rotationally erected, the operation surface portion is erected by the operation of the link, and the operation surface portion is inclined by the automatic operation so that the operation buttons and the like can be easily recognized. According to the configuration of the present invention according to claim 2, by operating the eject button of the operation surface section attached to the display section or the top of the display panel, the operation section tilts upright and the operation buttons and the like are easily recognized.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a state in which the display unit 2 is pushed out from the main body 1 and viewed. The display unit 2 is substantially horizontal inside when stored. When watching, push out in parallel with a motor drive (not shown), and manually rotate and erect at the position where extrusion is completed.

FIG. 2 shows a mechanism in which an operation surface portion 3 on which buttons, a display portion, etc. are arranged is provided on an upper portion of the display unit 2 and an eject button 7 is pushed to cause a portion to pop out using a spring to incline the panel surface. is there. FIG. 3 shows the internal structure of FIG. The display unit 2 is rotatably attached to the slide base 11 by using a rotation shaft 11a. The operation surface portion 3 is attached to the display unit 2 by fitting the shaft 3a into the hole 2a of the display unit 2 and the shaft 3b into the groove 2c inside the display unit. The turning spring 10 is attached by inserting each tip between the hole 2b of the display unit 2 and the hole 3c of the operation surface portion. The force of the spring is the rotating shaft 3a.
Is set in the direction in which the shaft portion 3b moves upward with respect to the center. The slide base 4 is fixed to the operation surface section 3. The slide 5 is attached to the slide base 4 so as to slide in the left-right direction using the pin 4a as a guide.

A spring 8 is attached between the hook 4b of the slide base 4 and the hook 5a of the slide, and the slide 5 is attracted so as to move to the right. The slide cam plate 6 is fixed to the display unit 2. The slide cam plate 6 has a vertical slot 6a in the longitudinal direction so that the slide pin 5b can pass therethrough. Further, horizontal short slots 6b and 6c are provided at the upper and lower ends of the slot, respectively. Therefore, the slot has a substantially U shape. The eject button 7 is rotatably attached to the operation surface portion 3 by a rotation shaft 7a. The eject button 7 is the operation surface section 3
Partly protrudes from the protrusion 7b by hand during eject operation
Press.

In a state where the operation surface portion 3 is pressed from above and the operation surface portion is completely housed in the display unit portion 2, the slide 5 is attracted to the right by the slide spring 8. At this time, the pin 5b on the slide is engaged with the engaging portion 6b because the slot 6b of the slide cam 6 is substantially horizontal at the lower end.
Is engaged by the slide spring 8. When the button 7b portion is pushed, the button 7 rotates about the rotation shaft 7a. The button pushing portion 7c moves leftward by the angle of rotation.
The button pushing portion 7c and the slide pushing portion 5c contact each other when the button is pushed. The slide 5 moves to the left by the amount pressed here. Since the slide 5 has moved, the pin 5b is disengaged from the horizontal slot 6d.

In this state, the operation surface portion 3 is pressed upward by the spring 10 on the side of the pin 3b and the vertical slot 6a.
Is vertical, the slide pin 5b moves upward, and the operation surface portion 3 pivots upward on the pin 3b side about the pivot shaft 3a. When the operation surface portion 3 rotates and the slide pin 5b hits the upper end groove hole 6c, the groove hole 6c is horizontal, so that the slide 5 moves to the right by the attractive force of the spring 8 and enters the groove hole 6c. As described above, the operation surface portion 3 is tilted by the vertical groove 6a by the angle moved upward, and the pin 5b and the horizontal cam portion 6c of the slide cam plate 6 are engaged so that the operation surface portion 3 is fixed to a tilted position where a key button or the like can be easily operated. It Since the horizontal cam groove 6b is engaged with the pin 5b even when the operation surface portion 3 is stored, the operation surface portion 3 is fixed and is free from backlash.

FIG. 4 shows a mechanism in which a stand-up link is provided between the slide base 11 and the operation surface section 3 to tilt and tilt the button / display panel by the differential operation of the link. The display unit 2 is rotatably attached to the slide base 11 using a shaft 11a. One of the operation surface portions 3 is attached to the top of the display unit 2 by a rotatable shaft 3a, and the other is attached to the link 12 by a rotatable shaft 12b. One side of the link 12 is a rotating shaft 12b
Is attached to the operation surface portion 3 and the other is the rotating shaft 12a.
Is attached to the slide base 11. One end of the operation surface portion 3 is rotatable around the shaft 3a, and the other end is rotatably connected to the link 12 by a rotation shaft 12b.

The display unit 2 is horizontal in the housed state, and is horizontal as shown in FIG. 4 when the display unit 2 is pulled out by a motor drive (not shown). When the display unit 2 is rotated leftward from the horizontal direction in an upward direction for viewing in the state where the slide base 11 is pulled out, the rotation center axis of the link rotation shaft 12a is the link 12a and the link rotation shaft 12b.
The central axis of rotation of is the axis 11a. Therefore, the centers of rotation of the connected screen portion and the operation surface portion 3 are different. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 4, the link 12 is pushed up because the rotation axis changes as the link 12 rotates. Along with this, the operation surface portion 3 connected is rotated at one end and the other end is free, so that the end 12b is pushed up. As a result, the operation surface of the operation surface portion 3 rises obliquely and is inclined to a position where the key button can be easily operated. Since the operation surface portion 3 is always joined by the link 12, it can be constructed without play.

According to the present invention, since the buttons and the display section on the operation surface section are tilted toward the operator with a simple structure, the operability and the visibility of the operation section when viewing the display are significantly improved.
