Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a vehicle instrument in which an analog display and a digital display are combined.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 FIG. 1 shows a conventional automotive instrument of this type. In this automotive instrument, a pointer 2 is attached to the tip of a spindle protruding from the center of a movement 1 of a cross coil type or the like, and the pointer 2 is attached. A dial 4 having a scale 3 indicated by a pointer 2 is arranged between the movement 1 of the cross coil type and the movement 1 of the cross coil type or the like under the movement 1 of the cross coil type. An analog type display 6 to which a circuit board 5 for driving 1 is attached to display the engine speed, and a display segment 7 consisting of a liquid crystal element, a fluorescent display tube, etc. is caused to emit light to display a numeral and the indicator. The speed is displayed by a digital display 9 composed of a drive circuit 8 for driving the display. That is, this automobile instrument is a combined instrument that combines the analog display 6 and the digital display 9 and has improved visibility and readability. Reference numeral 10 denotes a bar graph display such as a fuel gauge, a thermometer and a voltmeter which is displayed by a display segment including a liquid crystal element, a fluorescent display tube and the like.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the vehicle instrument in which the conventional analog type display 6 and the digital type display 9 are combined, the digital type display 9 has a relatively large outer shape of its constituent parts, The circuit board 8 is attached to the lower part of the display panel of the expression type display 9 so that a large space is required for the display area, and the analog type display 6 has a cross coil type at the rotation center of the pointer 2. Etc., a movement board 1 is arranged, a circuit board 5 is attached to a lower part of the cross coil type movement 1, and a dial 4 having a scale 3 pointed by a pointer 2 is a cross coil type. Since the analog type display 6 and the digital type display 9 are arranged close to each other or lapped for the reason of molding, they are physically located above the movement 1. Since the analog type display 6 and the digital type display 9 cannot be placed close to each other due to the limited space and size, the degree of freedom in molding is low, and the entire vehicle instrument becomes large in size. was there.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems. The display surface of the digital display is arranged to the side of the analog display, and the display of the digital display is the analog display. By providing a reflector plate of a size corresponding to the display size displayed on the digital display so as to be reflected on the dial side surface of the analog display in the vicinity of the analog display, It is possible to provide a vehicle-type instrument that is compact and has a high degree of freedom in shaping, by making it possible to wrap or wrap a digital display.

【Example】

 The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The same parts as those of the structure of the present embodiment and the structure of the conventional example are designated by the same reference numerals as those of the conventional example. The description of the same portion is omitted.

In FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), the display surface of the digital speed indicator 9 is arranged toward the side surface of the cross coil movement 1 of the analog engine speed indicator 6, and In order that the display of the digital speed display 9 is reflected on the dial 4 surface side of the analog speed display 6, the reflection plate 11 corresponding to the display size of the digital speed display 9 is provided. It is arranged so as to be inclined to the side surface of the cross coil type movement 1, and the display light emitted from the digital type speed indicator 9 is reflected by the reflector 11 and then displayed so as not to be blocked by the dial 4. The dial plate 4 is provided with an opening window 12 as an optical path of light. Reference numeral 13 indicates a front cover.

The structure of this embodiment has been described above. Next, the operation thereof will be described. The display light emitted from the display surface of the digital speed indicator 9 is the side surface of the cross coil type movement 1 and the dial plate 4. Since the reflection plate 11 arranged on the back side of the display is reflected and displayed in the surface direction of the dial 4 through the opening window 12, the display of the digital speed display 9 is close to that of the analog rotation speed display 6. Can be displayed.

In another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, when the power is off, the front cover 13 is black and semi-transparent. In the case of the example, it is a so-called black face type meter in which the inside of the front cover cannot be visually recognized and the display by each of the indicators 6 and 9 emits light so as to appear floating only when the power is turned on. This type of instrument does not show any structure inside the front cover 13 so that the digital speed indicator 9 displays between the extension surface of the dial 4 and the front cover 13. The surface is arranged so as to be orthogonal to the dial, and the display of the digital speed display 9 is reflected on the front cover 13 side according to the display size displayed on the digital speed display 9. The reflector 11 The deflection of the pointer 2 of the analog type speed indicator 6 is arranged on the surface of the dial 4 so as not to affect each range, and the display of the digital speed indicator 9 and the analog speed indicator 6 The displays are displayed close to each other. Therefore, according to each of the above-described embodiments, the analog rotation speed indicator 6 and the digital speed indicator 9 can be arranged close to each other, and thereby, the miniaturization of the entire vehicle instrument and the degree of freedom of shaping can be obtained. .

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the analog display 6 for displaying the scale 3 on the dial 4 by rotating the pointer 2 and the digital display 9 for displaying the numbers by causing the display segment 7 to emit light. And a display surface of the digital type display 9 is arranged to the side of the analog type display 6, and the display of the digital type display 9 is changed to the analog type. Since the reflector 11 for reflecting the dial 6 to the dial plate surface side of the display 6 is provided in the vicinity of the analog type display 6 corresponding to the display surface of the digital display 9, it is a vehicle instrument, Regardless of the size of the external shape of the digital display 9, the display of the digital display 9 and the display of the analog display 6 can be brought close to or overlap with each other. There is an effect that can be provided.
