Abstract

Provided is a vehicular display device with which a location misalignment of a ring-shaped movable member does not draw attention. A display apparatus (10) displays an image in either a first display region (S1) or a second display region (S2). A control means (100) causes the display apparatus (10) to display a plurality of scale images (11, 12, 13, 14). Ring-shaped movable members (41, 51) surround the scale images (11, 12, 13, 14). Movement mechanisms (60, 70) move the ring-shaped movable members (41, 51) from a first location in which the ring-shaped movable members (41, 51) surround the scale images (11, 12, 13, 14) which are displayed in the first display region (S1) to a second location in which the ring-shaped movable members (41, 51) surround the scale images (11, 12, 13, 14) which are displayed in the second display region (S2). A portion of the scale images (11, 12, 13, 14) is concealed by the ring-shaped movable members (41, 51). A radius (R1) of a virtual circle (V) which joins outer side ends of the scale images (11, 12, 13, 14) is bigger than a radius (R2) of the inner circumference of the ring-shaped members (41, 51) and smaller than a radius (R3) of the outer circumference of the ring-shaped members (41, 51).

　以下、添付図面に基づいて、本発明の一実施形態を参照して説明する。図１乃至図９は、第一実施形態を示すものである。車両用表示装置は、表示器１０と、指針式計器２０，３０と、装飾ユニット４０，５０と、移動機構６０，７０と、回路基板８０と、ハウジング９０と、を備える。 Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to an embodiment of the present invention based on the attached drawings. 1 to 9 show a first embodiment. The vehicle display device includes a display 10, pointer- type meters 20 and 30, decoration units 40 and 50, moving mechanisms 60 and 70, a circuit board 80, and a housing 90.
　表示器１０は、１２．３インチの表示画面を有するＴＦＴ（Thin Film Transistor）液晶表示器であるが、例えば有機ＥＬ表示器であっても良い。表示器１０は、後述する制御部１００の制御の下、車両速度，エンジン回動数，ナビゲーション情報等を表示する。また、表示器１０は、左右方向にスライド移動する指針式計器２０，３０及び装飾ユニット４０，５０の位置状態（後述する「第一パターン」、「第二パターン」等）に合わせて、表示態様を変化させる。表示器１０は、ＴＦＴ型液晶表示パネル，偏光板，バックライト，ディスプレイ用筐体等（図示せず）から構成され、ハウジング９０に形成された取付部材（図示せず）に取り付けられ、所定位置に配置され、支持される。 The display 10 is a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) liquid crystal display having a 12.3-inch display screen, but may be, for example, an organic EL display. The display 10 displays the vehicle speed, the number of engine revolutions, navigation information, and the like under the control of the control unit 100 described later. In addition, the display 10 displays a display mode in accordance with the position state (“first pattern”, “second pattern”, etc., which will be described later) of the pointer- type meters 20 and 30 and the decoration units 40 and 50 that slide in the left-right direction. To change. The display 10 includes a TFT-type liquid crystal display panel, a polarizing plate, a backlight, a display housing, and the like (not shown), and is attached to an attachment member (not shown) formed on the housing 90, and is in a predetermined position. Arranged and supported.
　指針式計器２０は、指針駆動部２１と、第一マグネット体２２と、第二マグネット体２３と、指針ユニット２４と、を備える。指針式計器２０を構成する各部は、移動板６１に直接、又は移動板６１に取り付けられる装飾ユニット４０を介して取り付けられているため、移動板６１の移動に伴い移動する。 The pointer-type instrument 20 includes a pointer driving unit 21, a first magnet body 22, a second magnet body 23, and a pointer unit 24. Each part constituting the pointer-type meter 20 is attached to the moving plate 61 directly or via the decoration unit 40 attached to the moving plate 61, and thus moves with the movement of the moving plate 61.
　指針駆動部２１は、例えばステッピングモータから構成され、制御部１００の制御の下、車両速度に応じて回動軸２１ａを回動させる。指針駆動部２１は、移動板６１に固定されている。
　第一マグネット体２２は、回動軸２１ａに取り付けられ、回動軸２１ａの回動に伴い、回動する。このように取り付けられた第一マグネット体２２は、表示器１０のすぐ裏に位置する。 The pointer drive unit 21 is constituted by, for example, a stepping motor, and rotates the rotation shaft 21 a according to the vehicle speed under the control of the control unit 100. The pointer driving unit 21 is fixed to the moving plate 61.
The first magnet body 22 is attached to the rotation shaft 21a and rotates as the rotation shaft 21a rotates. The first magnet body 22 attached in this way is located immediately behind the display device 10.
　第二マグネット体２３は、表示器１０の表側であって、第一マグネット体２２と対向する位置に位置する。第二マグネット体２３は、第一マグネット体２２からの表示器１０を透過した磁力を受け、第一マグネット体２２の回動に従って、回動する。第二マグネット体２３は、指針ユニット２４の指針軸２４ａに取り付けられている。 The second magnet body 23 is located on the front side of the display 10 and at a position facing the first magnet body 22. The second magnet body 23 receives the magnetic force transmitted through the display 10 from the first magnet body 22 and rotates according to the rotation of the first magnet body 22. The second magnet body 23 is attached to the pointer shaft 24 a of the pointer unit 24.
　このような第一マグネット体２２と第二マグネット体２３により、指針駆動部２１の回転動力は、指針ユニット２４へ伝えられ、指針ユニット２４は回動することができる。指針ユニット２４は、表示器１０に表示された目盛り画像１１，１３を指示する。表示器１０のディスプレイ用筐体は、このように磁力を透過させる必要があるため、アルミ等の非磁性体により形成される。 Rotational power of the pointer driving unit 21 is transmitted to the pointer unit 24 by the first magnet body 22 and the second magnet body 23, and the pointer unit 24 can be rotated. The pointer unit 24 indicates the scale images 11 and 13 displayed on the display device 10.

　伝達機構６３と伝達機構７３とは、互いに、上下方向に所定の間隔を空けて配置される（図４参照）。このように両者を配置することで、車両用表示装置が表裏方向に厚くなることを避けることができるため、車両用表示装置を薄くすることが可能である。伝達機構６３は、伝達機構７３の下側に位置する。 The transmission mechanism 63 and the transmission mechanism 73 are arranged at a predetermined interval in the vertical direction (see FIG. 4). By arranging the two in this way, it is possible to avoid the vehicle display device from becoming thick in the front and back direction, and thus the vehicle display device can be made thinner. The transmission mechanism 63 is located below the transmission mechanism 73.
　伝達機構６３は、左右方向に所定の間隔を空けて配置された２つのプーリー６３ａ，６３ｂと、両者に巻回されるタイミングベルト６３ｃと、から構成される。プーリー６３ａは、車両用表示装置の表側から見て右側に位置し、駆動部６２の回動軸６２ａに圧入され、回動軸６２ａの回動に伴い回動する。プーリー６３ｂは、車両用表示装置の表側から見て左側に位置し、移動機構用筐体６５に取り付けられた軸に回動可能に保持される。タイミングベルト６３ｃは、２つのプーリー６３ａ，６３ｂが空転しないように所定の張力をもって取り付けられるため、プーリー６３ａが回動すると、プーリー６３ｂも同様に回動する。このようにして、伝達機構６３は、駆動部６２で発生した回転動力をスライド方向（左右方向）の動力に変換して、前述のようにタイミングベルト６３ｃに取り付けられた移動板６１をスライド移動させる。 The transmission mechanism 63 includes two pulleys 63a and 63b arranged at a predetermined interval in the left-right direction, and a timing belt 63c wound around both.

Since the timing belt 63c is attached with a predetermined tension so that the two pulleys 63a and 63b do not idle, when the pulley 63a is rotated, the pulley 63b is similarly rotated. In this way, the transmission mechanism 63 converts the rotational power generated by the drive unit 62 into power in the sliding direction (left-right direction), and slides the moving plate 61 attached to the timing belt 63c as described above. .
　伝達機構７３は、左右方向に所定の間隔を空けて配置された２つのプーリー７３ａ，７３ｂと、両者に巻回されるタイミングベルト７３ｃと、から構成される。プーリー７３ａは、車両用表示装置の表側から見て右側に位置し、駆動部７２の回動軸７２ａに圧入され、回動軸７２ａの回動に伴い回動する。プーリー７３ｂは、車両用表示装置の表側から見て左側に位置し、移動機構用筐体６５に取り付けられた軸に回動可能に保持される。タイミングベルト７３ｃは、２つのプーリー７３ａ，７３ｂが空転しないように所定の張力をもって取り付けられるため、プーリー７３ａが回動すると、プーリー７３ｂも同様に回動する。このようにして、伝達機構７３は、駆動部７２で発生した回転動力をスライド方向（左右方向）の動力に変換して、前述のようにタイミングベルト４２３ｃに取り付けられた移動板７１をスライド移動させる。 The transmission mechanism 73 includes two pulleys 73a and 73b disposed at a predetermined interval in the left-right direction, and a timing belt 73c wound around both. The pulley 73a is located on the right side when viewed from the front side of the vehicle display device, is press-fitted into the rotation shaft 72a of the drive unit 72, and rotates as the rotation shaft 72a rotates. The pulley 73b is positioned on the left side when viewed from the front side of the vehicle display device, and is rotatably held on a shaft attached to the moving mechanism casing 65. Since the timing belt 73c is attached with a predetermined tension so that the two pulleys 73a and 73b do not idle, when the pulley 73a is rotated, the pulley 73b is similarly rotated. In this way, the transmission mechanism 73 converts the rotational power generated by the drive unit 72 into power in the sliding direction (left-right direction), and slides the moving plate 71 attached to the timing belt 423c as described above. .
