The present invention relates to a bridge ceiling instrument system for displaying a variety of operation information of the medium and large ships, and more particularly, the bridge of the bridge on which the instrument display panel is disposed while satisfying the forward visibility in the bridge prescribed by the International Classification Society (IACS) An integrated dimming control device that has an external specification that does not incline the ceiling and can individually or collectively adjust the light intensity of the instrument display panel and a device that can change the measurement unit and mode of the instrument panel of the bridge ceiling instrument system according to the situation. It relates to a bridge ceiling instrumentation system including an instrument control unit that can be installed in one place to easily change the unit and mode of the instrument panel.

The bridge instrument system displays various information necessary for the operation of medium and large vessels on the display panel.It enables the navigator to understand the internal and external operation information of the vessel in real time, inducing safe driving and accidents related to vessel operation. The device can be prevented in advance.

Such a bridge instrument system is generally composed of a depth instrument, a tachometer, a turnover clock, a gyro repeater, a clock, an inclinometer, a wind vane, an angle watch, and a turntable clock, and a light control unit for adjusting the luminous intensity of each instrument. It consists of a miner and a measurement unit / mode adjustment part which adjusts the measurement unit and mode of an instrument panel.

1 to 4 will be described in more detail with respect to the prior art bridge instrument system.

1 is a front view of a conventional mission instrument panel. As shown in the drawing, a typical conventional instrument cluster is a depth indicator 100, a tachometer 110, a turnover clock 120, gyro repeater 130, clock 140, inclinometer 150, wind direction anemometer 160 , The steering angle clock 170 and the rotating resin clock 180 is composed. Since each of these instruments is supplied from different manufacturers and their exterior specifications are different, the exterior of the instrument panel is manufactured based on the exterior of the instrument having the largest vertical standard (speedometer in the drawing). Therefore, the exterior of the conventional instrument panel generally exceeds 350mm in length, such instrument panel is placed in the ceiling of the bridge.

In general, the ship's bridge structure should be designed in accordance with the various provisions of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS). The International Federation of Societies is an association consisting of 11 countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Norway and Korea, aimed at promoting maritime safety and marine pollution prevention and contributing to global maritime development through consultation and cooperation with relevant international maritime organizations. It was founded in 1968. The 11 regular members of the Federation register more than 90% of the world's ships and have regularly checked the registered and government agencies for registered ships.

With reference to FIG. 2, the UIS regulations 181 related to the operation information board and the front view secured to the inside of the bridge of medium and large ships will be described. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a bridge on which a conventional instrument panel is disposed. As shown in the drawing, the Society of International Classification of Union (CFA) stipulates that an upper viewing angle 230 of 5 degrees forward is secured to a viewing reference point 210 at a position of 1,750 mm at a point 2,600 mm away from the instrument panel 220. In general, the height inside the ceiling of the bridge is designed to be 2,250mm from the bottom of the entire structure of the bridge and the position of the instrument panel 220 to secure the upper viewing angle 230 should be placed at least 2,000mm from the bridge floor. Therefore, the space in which the instrument panel 220 can be disposed is 250 mm from the upper surface of the bridge ceiling, but the exterior of the conventional instrument panel 220 exceeds 340 mm in length so that the ceiling position where the instrument panel 220 is disposed is 90 mm or more upward. And as a result the inclined surface 240 is generated. The slope 240 of the mission ceiling like this will require a lot of manufacturing labor.

On the other hand, the light control unit for adjusting the illuminance of the instrument panel 220 and the measurement unit / mode adjustment unit for adjusting the measurement unit and mode of the instrument panel is included in each instrument of the instrument panel, or separately with the light control unit of the individual instrument to the bridge console Is placed.

A conventional light control unit will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.
