The display board 4 has a structure in which the indicator portion 4a is transmitted and illuminated from behind. An arc 4 (main gauge) positioned below the display panel 4 is provided with an index 4b indicating the vehicle speed, and an arc 4 (sub gauge) positioned above is provided with an index 4c indicating the engine speed. The pointers 2 and 20 move on two indicators 4b and 4c which are provided on the flat display panel 4 and have the same center point. In the center of the display board 4, an opening 4d is provided in a circle so that the display of the display 3 located in the center of the instrument device 1 can be seen.

車速計ユニット６は、駆動装置９と、駆動装置９によって移動される移動部材１０と、指針２と、からなる。   The vehicle speedometer unit 6 includes a drive device 9, a moving member 10 that is moved by the drive device 9, and a pointer 2.

駆動装置９は、ステッピングモータや交差コイル等からなり、回路基板８の背面に設けられる。駆動装置９は、駆動装置９から回路基板８を貫通し後に表示板４方向に延びる移動軸９ａを有し、移動軸９ａの先端には歯車９ｂが固定される。駆動装置９は、移動軸９ａを介して歯車９ｂを移動させる。   The driving device 9 includes a stepping motor, a cross coil, and the like, and is provided on the back surface of the circuit board 8. The driving device 9 has a moving shaft 9a that extends from the driving device 9 through the circuit board 8 and then extends in the direction of the display plate 4, and a gear 9b is fixed to the tip of the moving shaft 9a. The drive device 9 moves the gear 9b via the moving shaft 9a.

移動部材１０は、合成樹脂からなり、表示器３を視認可能なリング形状である。移動部材１０の内周にはギヤ部１０ａが設けられ、移動部材１０は、駆動装置９によって移動する歯車９ｂとギヤ部１０ａがかみ合うことによって、移動する。移動部材１０は、図２に示すように、その外周に凹形状の溝部１０ｂを備え、図３に示すように、等間隔に、およそ時計の２時，６時及び１０時の位置に設けられる３つの支持部材１１によって支持されている。   The moving member 10 is made of a synthetic resin and has a ring shape that allows the display 3 to be visually recognized. A gear portion 10 a is provided on the inner periphery of the moving member 10, and the moving member 10 moves when the gear 9 b that moves by the driving device 9 meshes with the gear portion 10 a. As shown in FIG. 2, the movable member 10 has a concave groove 10b on the outer periphery thereof, and is provided at approximately equal intervals of 2 o'clock, 6 o'clock and 10 o'clock as shown in FIG. It is supported by three support members 11.

支持部材１１は、合成樹脂からなり、支柱部１１ａと円盤部１１ｂとを有する。支柱部１１ａは、回路基板８に設置され、表示板４方向に延びる。支柱部１１ａは、一端を回路基板８に設けられた孔部８ａに差し込まれ、他端には、円盤形状で外周が凸形状となっている円盤部１１ｂが設けられる。支持部材１１は、円盤部１１ｂが移動部材１０の溝部１０ｂにはまり、移動部材１０の平面方向（ラジアル方向）及び垂直方向（スラスト方向）の動きを抑制しながら移動部材１０の移動にあわせて円盤部１１ｂが回動し、支持する。上方に設けられる車速計ユニット６の移動部材１０の外径は、下方に設けられる回転数ユニット７の移動部材１２に対してひと回り小さく形成されている。   The support member 11 is made of a synthetic resin and includes a column part 11a and a disk part 11b. The column 11 a is installed on the circuit board 8 and extends in the direction of the display panel 4. One end of the column 11a is inserted into a hole 8a provided in the circuit board 8, and the other end is provided with a disc portion 11b having a disc shape and a convex outer periphery. The support member 11 includes a disk portion 11b that fits into the groove portion 10b of the moving member 10, and controls the disk in accordance with the movement of the moving member 10 while suppressing the movement of the moving member 10 in the plane direction (radial direction) and the vertical direction (thrust direction). The part 11b rotates and supports. The outer diameter of the moving member 10 of the speedometer unit 6 provided above is formed to be slightly smaller than the moving member 12 of the rotational speed unit 7 provided below.

指針２は、脚部２ａと指示部２ｂとからなり、移動部材１０に設けられ、移動部材１０の移動に伴って表示板４に設けられたメインゲージである車速用の指標４ｂを指示する。脚部２ａは、移動部材１０の外縁部から上方（表示板４方向）へ延びるように形成され、その前端部には、指示部２ｂが設けられる。指示部２ｂは、脚部２ａの前端部から移動部材１０の中心に向かって、表示板４上を沿うように設けられ、表示板４の下方に設けられた車速を示す指標４ｂ上を移動する。   The pointer 2 includes a leg portion 2a and an instruction portion 2b.

The leg 2a is formed so as to extend upward (in the direction of the display panel 4) from the outer edge of the moving member 10, and an instruction portion 2b is provided at the front end thereof. The indicator 2b is provided along the display board 4 from the front end of the leg 2a toward the center of the moving member 10, and moves on the indicator 4b indicating the vehicle speed provided below the display board 4. .

回転数ユニット７は、車速計ユニット６と同様の構成部品からなるため、車速計ユニット６と同一もしくは相当箇所の詳細な説明を省く。   Since the rotational speed unit 7 is composed of the same components as the vehicle speedometer unit 6, detailed description of the same or corresponding parts as the vehicle speedometer unit 6 is omitted.

回転計ユニット７の移動部材１２は、車速計ユニット６の移動部材１０よりも回路基板８側（下方）に設けられる。移動部材１２は、その内径が、車速計ユニット６の移動部材１０と等しく、その外径が、車速計ユニット６の移動部材１０よりも指針２０の脚部２０ａ設置スペース分だけ一回り大きく、表示器３を視認可能なリング状に形成されている。車速計ユニット６の移動部材１０と回転数ユニット７の移動部材１２は、同心円であり、同軸の上下に中心点を備え、段違いに設けられる。このように、観察者から見て前方に移動部材１０が、後方に移動部材１２が位置するように積層して、立体的構造としたことにより、一眼で中心点を同じくした円弧上に設けられる指標４ｂ，４ｃ上を移動する指針によって、省スペースで複数の車両情報を提供することができるものである。   The moving member 12 of the tachometer unit 7 is provided closer to the circuit board 8 (lower side) than the moving member 10 of the vehicle speed meter unit 6. The moving member 12 has an inner diameter equal to that of the moving member 10 of the vehicle speedometer unit 6 and has an outer diameter that is one size larger than the moving member 10 of the vehicle speedometer unit 6 by the installation space of the leg 20a of the pointer 20. It is formed in a ring shape that allows the container 3 to be visually recognized. The moving member 10 of the vehicle speedometer unit 6 and the moving member 12 of the rotational speed unit 7 are concentric circles, have a center point on the upper and lower sides of the same axis, and are provided in steps. As described above, the moving member 10 is laminated so that the moving member 12 is positioned in the rear as viewed from the observer, and is formed into a three-dimensional structure. A plurality of vehicle information can be provided in a space-saving manner by the pointer moving on the indicators 4b and 4c.

移動部材１０，１２の外径を、上方の移動部材１０は小さく、下方の移動部材１２は大きく形成した理由は、指針２，２０の構造を簡略化するためである。例えば、図１１に示すように、内径及び外径が等しい移動部材１０，１２を複数用いる場合には、下方の移動部材１２に設ける指針２０は、脚部２０ａを外縁部に設け、その脚部２０ａを上方の移動部材１０との間隙から外側に引き回し表示板４側に伸ばして指示部２０ｂを設けなければならず、指針２０の重量化，構造の複雑化を招くおそれがある。このため、本実施形態では移動部材１０，１２の外径の大きさを上方から次第に大きくなるように形成するものである。   The reason why the outer diameters of the moving members 10 and 12 are formed so that the upper moving member 10 is small and the lower moving member 12 is large is to simplify the structure of the pointers 2 and 20. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, when a plurality of moving members 10 and 12 having the same inner diameter and outer diameter are used, the pointer 20 provided on the lower moving member 12 is provided with a leg portion 20a on the outer edge portion, and the leg portion. The indicator 20b has to be provided by extending the outside 20a from the gap with the upper moving member 10 to the display plate 4 side, which may increase the weight of the pointer 20 and the complexity of the structure. For this reason, in this embodiment, it forms so that the magnitude | size of the outer diameter of the moving members 10 and 12 may become large gradually from upper direction.

支持部材１３の構成は、支持部材１１と同様であり、図４に示すように、移動部材１２を時計の１２時，４時及び８時の位置にて支持する。指針２０は、その脚部２０ｂを移動部材１２の外縁部から上方に設けられる車速計ユニット６の移動部材１０の外側に沿って表示板４方向に延びるように形成される。指示部２０ｂは、脚部２０ａの前端部に設けられ、表示板４上を沿うように中心に向かって延びるように形成される。指針２０の回転は、前方に設けられる車速計ユニット６の支持部材１１によって制限され、本発明においては、図５に示すように、時計の１０時から１２時を通って２時の１２０度弱の移動に限定される。そのため、車速計ユニット６の移動部材１０を上方（表示板４側）に設置し、指針２の移動角度が大きくなるようにしており、回転数ユニット７の移動部材１２を下方（回路基板８側）に設置し、指針２０の移動角度が狭くても十分に表示できるようにしている。   The structure of the support member 13 is the same as that of the support member 11, and as shown in FIG. 4, the moving member 12 is supported at the 12 o'clock, 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock positions. The pointer 20 is formed so that its leg portion 20b extends in the direction of the display board 4 along the outside of the moving member 10 of the vehicle speedometer unit 6 provided above the outer edge of the moving member 12. The instruction portion 20b is provided at the front end portion of the leg portion 20a, and is formed so as to extend toward the center along the display panel 4. The rotation of the pointer 20 is limited by the support member 11 of the vehicle speedometer unit 6 provided in the front, and in the present invention, as shown in FIG. It is limited to movement. For this reason, the moving member 10 of the speedometer unit 6 is installed on the upper side (display plate 4 side) so that the moving angle of the pointer 2 is increased, and the moving member 12 of the rotational speed unit 7 is moved downward (on the circuit board 8 side). ) So that it can be displayed sufficiently even if the movement angle of the pointer 20 is narrow.

車速計ユニット６の指針２及び回転計ユニットの指針２０は、双方が同一平面の表示板４上に設けられた指標４ａを指示するものである。   The indicator 2 of the vehicle speedometer unit 6 and the indicator 20 of the tachometer unit both indicate the indicator 4a provided on the display board 4 on the same plane.

表示器３は、液晶表示素子やＶＦＤ（蛍光表示管）等の表示素子が用いられる。表示器３は、リング形状となっている移動部材１０，１２の開口部Ｓに対応して回路基板８上に設けられる。表示器３の表示領域は、表示器３上に設けられる表示板４の開口４ｄによって決定される。表示器３は、シートベルトの脱着状況や方向指示等の各種ウォーニング表示、車速やエンジンの回転数等のデジタル表示及びバー表示を行い、車両情報を提供するものである。同じ中心点の円弧上に設けられる指標４ｂ，４ｃによって複数の車両情報を指針表示することに加え、中央に表示器３を設けることで、情報量は増大し、表示方法が一層多様化する。   As the display 3, a display element such as a liquid crystal display element or a VFD (fluorescent display tube) is used. The display 3 is provided on the circuit board 8 so as to correspond to the openings S of the moving members 10 and 12 having a ring shape. The display area of the display device 3 is determined by the opening 4 d of the display plate 4 provided on the display device 3. The display device 3 displays various warnings such as seat belt detachment status and direction indication, digital display such as vehicle speed and engine speed, and bar display, and provides vehicle information. In addition to displaying a plurality of vehicle information as pointers by the indicators 4b and 4c provided on the arc of the same center point, providing the indicator 3 in the center increases the amount of information and further diversifies the display method.

次に、本発明の第二の実施形態を説明する。第一の実施形態と同一もしくは相当箇所の詳細な説明を省く。図６から図１０は、本発明の第二の実施形態を示す図である。図６は、燃料計及び回転計を備えた計器装置１の部分正面図である。図７は、計器装置１の断面図（図６に於けるＢ−Ｂ断面）である。   Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

計器装置１は、燃料計ユニット１４と、回転計ユニット７０とからなり、燃料の残量及びエンジンの回転数を示す。   The meter device 1 includes a fuel meter unit 14 and a tachometer unit 70, and indicates the remaining amount of fuel and the engine speed.

表示板４は、左側円弧にて燃料の残量を示す指標４ｅを備え、右側円弧にてエンジンの回転数を示す指標４ｆを備える。   The display board 4 includes an index 4e indicating the remaining amount of fuel in the left arc, and an index 4f indicating the engine speed in the right arc.

図７に示すように、各ユニット１４，７０の移動部材１５，７１は、同軸方向に上下段違いに設けられる。燃料計ユニット１４の移動部材１５は上方（表示板４側）に設けられ、回転数ユニット７０の移動部材７１は下方（回路基板８側）に設けられる。図８に示すように、各ユニット１４，７０の指針２１，２０の移動範囲は等しく構成され、燃料計ユニット１４の指針２１は、時計のおよそ７時から１１時の範囲を移動し、回転数ユニット７０の指針２０は、時計のおよそ１時から５時の範囲を移動する。   As shown in FIG. 7, the moving members 15 and 71 of the units 14 and 70 are provided in the upper and lower steps in the coaxial direction. The moving member 15 of the fuel gauge unit 14 is provided on the upper side (display plate 4 side), and the moving member 71 of the rotational speed unit 70 is provided on the lower side (circuit board 8 side). As shown in FIG. 8, the movement ranges of the hands 21 and 20 of the units 14 and 70 are configured to be equal, and the pointer 21 of the fuel gauge unit 14 moves in the range from about 7 o'clock to 11 o'clock of the timepiece, The pointer 20 of the unit 70 moves in the range from about 1 o'clock to 5 o'clock on the watch.
