Description

本発明は、運転席を有する車両の報知システムに関する。 The present invention relates to a notification system for vehicles having a driver's seat.

従来、車両のコーナポールを光学的に表示する報知システムが開示されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。特許文献1の報知システムでは、レーザー発振装置から出力されたレーザービームを、XYZスキャナと集光レンズとにより、空気中の1点にフォーカスさせて、空気をプラズマ化して発光させる。これにより、報知システムは、コーナポールと同等の形状の映像を、車両の運転席と反対側の前方側端部に表示する。また、特許文献1の報知システムは、障害物との距離を測定し、障害物に車両が近づくと、コーナポールの表示を点滅させることで、乗員に危険を報知する。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a notification system that optically displays a corner pole of a vehicle has been disclosed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In the notification system of Patent Document 1, a laser beam output from a laser oscillation device is focused on one point in the air by an XYZ scanner and a condenser lens, and the air is plasmatized to emit light. As a result, the notification system displays an image having the same shape as the corner pole at the front end of the vehicle on the side opposite to the driver's seat. Further, the notification system of Patent Document 1 measures the distance to an obstacle, and when the vehicle approaches the obstacle, blinks the display of the corner pole to notify the occupants of the danger.

特開2011-98724号公報JP 2011-98724 A

しかし、特許文献1の報知システムでは、コーナポールに代わって、コーナポールの映像を映し出すため、運転席のドライバ以外の乗員にも、この映像が見える。ドライバ以外にコーナポールが見えると、ドライバの運転操作によっては、ドライバ以外の乗員に不安を与えるという問題がある。 However, in the notification system of Patent Literature 1, an image of the corner pole is displayed instead of the corner pole, so that passengers other than the driver in the driver's seat can also see this image. If the corner pole is visible to anyone other than the driver, there is a problem that the other passengers may feel uneasy depending on the driving operation of the driver.

一方、車両と障害物の距離が近い場合には、周囲の障害物にドライバが気付いていない場合もある。特許文献1の報知システムでは、映像を点滅させることでドライバおよびドライバ以外の乗員に障害物の接近を報知する。しかし、乗員は映像に注視していなければ点滅に気が付かない可能性もある。 On the other hand, when the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is short, the driver may not notice the surrounding obstacles. The notification system of Patent Document 1 notifies the driver and passengers other than the driver of the approach of the obstacle by blinking the image. However, there is a possibility that the occupant may not notice the blinking unless he or she is paying close attention to the image.

本発明の課題は、車両のドライバのみに車両の周囲の状態を報知しながらも、車両の周囲の障害物が接近した場合には、ドライバ以外の乗員に障害物の接近を的確に報知できる、車両の報知システムを提供することにある。 It is an object of the present invention to notify only the driver of the vehicle of the surrounding conditions of the vehicle, and when an obstacle is approaching around the vehicle, to accurately notify the occupants other than the driver of the approach of the obstacle. To provide a vehicle notification system.

本発明に係る車両の報知システムは、運転席を有する車両の報知システムである。車両の報知システムは、立体像結像装置と、検知部と、制御部と、を備える。立体像結像装置は、投影部で投影する画像を、運転席に対して立体像結像として表示する。検知部は、車両の周囲の障害物を検知する。制御部は、報知システムを制御する。立体像結像装置は、鏡面体と、切替手段と、を有する。鏡面体は、投影部で投影する画像の光を運転席と異なる位置に反射させる鏡面部を有する。切替手段は、光の反射を、反射状態と、非反射状態に切り替える。制御部は、車両の周囲の障害物が車両に接近した場合、切替手段を操作して、反射状態にする。 A vehicle notification system according to the present invention is a vehicle notification system having a driver's seat. A vehicle notification system includes a stereoscopic imaging device, a detection unit, and a control unit. The stereoscopic image forming device displays an image projected by the projection unit as a stereoscopic image on the driver's seat. The detection unit detects obstacles around the vehicle. The control unit controls the notification system. The stereoscopic image forming apparatus has a specular body and switching means. The mirror body has a mirror surface portion that reflects the light of the image projected by the projection unit to a position different from the driver's seat. The switching means switches light reflection between a reflective state and a non-reflective state. When an obstacle around the vehicle approaches the vehicle, the control unit operates the switching means to switch to the reflection state.

この車両の報知システムによれば、車両の周囲の障害物が車両に接近していない場合、運転席のドライバのみに立体像結像として画像が表示される。これにより、ドライバのみに車両の周囲の状態を報知できる。一方、車両の周囲の障害物が車両に接近した場合、投影部で投影した画像から出る光を、運転席以外の位置に反射せることができる。これにより、運転席のドライバ以外の乗員が光を見ることができる。この結果、車両の運転席のドライバのみに車両の周囲の状態を報知しながらも、車両の周囲の障害物が接近した場合には、ドライバ以外の乗員に障害物の接近を的確に報知できる、車両の報知システムを提供できる。 According to this vehicle notification system, when an obstacle around the vehicle is not approaching the vehicle, an image is displayed as a stereoscopic image only to the driver in the driver's seat. As a result, only the driver can be notified of the surrounding conditions of the vehicle. On the other hand, when an obstacle around the vehicle approaches the vehicle, the light emitted from the image projected by the projection unit can be reflected to a position other than the driver's seat. This allows passengers other than the driver in the driver's seat to see the light. As a result, while notifying only the driver in the driver's seat of the vehicle of the surrounding conditions of the vehicle, when an obstacle is approaching around the vehicle, the occupants other than the driver can be accurately notified of the approach of the obstacle. A vehicle notification system can be provided.

検知部は、車両の運転席と反対側の前方側端部から障害物までの距離を計測することで障害物を検知してもよい。制御部は、距離が所定値よりも小さい場合に、切替手段を操作して反射状態にしてもよい。 The detection unit may detect the obstacle by measuring the distance from the front end of the vehicle opposite to the driver's seat to the obstacle. When the distance is smaller than a predetermined value, the control unit may operate the switching means to switch to the reflective state.

この構成によれば、運転席から最も遠い距離にある前方側端部から障害物までの距離が所定値よりも小さい場合に、運転席のドライバ以外の乗員に車両の周辺状況を報知できる。 According to this configuration, when the distance from the farthest front end from the driver's seat to the obstacle is smaller than a predetermined value, the surrounding conditions of the vehicle can be notified to passengers other than the driver in the driver's seat.

切替手段は、カバー部と、脱着部と、を含んでもよい。カバー部は、鏡面体の鏡面部を覆ってもよい。脱着部は、カバー部を鏡面部から脱着してもよい。制御部は、距離が所定値よりも小さい場合に、脱着部を操作してカバー部を鏡面部から外してもよい。 The switching means may include a cover portion and an attachment/detachment portion. The cover part may cover the mirror part of the mirror body. The detachable part may detach the cover part from the mirror surface part. When the distance is smaller than a predetermined value, the control section may operate the attachment/detachment section to remove the cover section from the mirror surface section.

この構成によれば、簡単な構造によって、反射状態と非反射状態を切り替えることができる。 According to this configuration, it is possible to switch between the reflective state and the non-reflective state with a simple structure.

画像は、前方側端部の位置を示すコーナポールであってもよい。 The image may be a corner pole showing the location of the front end.

この構成によれば、コーナポールを画像として映し出すので、運転席から最も遠い車両の前方側端部の状況を、ドライバが把握しやすい。 According to this configuration, since the corner pole is displayed as an image, the driver can easily grasp the situation of the front end of the vehicle that is the farthest from the driver's seat.

本発明によれば、車両の運転席のドライバのみに車両の周囲の状態を報知しながらも、車両の周囲の障害物が接近した場合には、ドライバ以外の乗員に的確に報知できる、車両の報知システムを提供できる。 According to the present invention, the state of the surroundings of the vehicle can be notified only to the driver in the driver's seat of the vehicle, and when an obstacle around the vehicle approaches, the passengers other than the driver can be accurately notified. A notification system can be provided.

本発明の一実施形態による車両の報知システムのシステム図。1 is a system diagram of a vehicle notification system according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 本発明の一実施形態による反射状態の立体像結像装置の概要を示す側面図。1 is a schematic side view of a stereoscopic imaging device in a reflective state according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 本発明の一実施形態による非反射状態の立体像結像装置の概要を示す側面図。1 is a schematic side view of a stereoscopic imaging device in a non-reflective state according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 本発明の一実施形態による制御部の制御フローを示す図。The figure which shows the control flow of the control part by one Embodiment of this invention.

以下、本発明の一実施形態について、図面を参照しながら説明する。 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

図1に示すように、本発明の一実施形態による車両Cの報知システム1は、立体像結像装置2と、検知部4と、制御部6と、備える。車両Cは、ハンドル10が配置される運転席12を有する。車両Cは、運転席12以外に、運転席12の隣に配置された助手席14、後部座席16などの複数の座席を有する。本実施形態では、車両Cは、進行方向右側にハンドル10が配置される右ハンドル車である。車両Cは、運転席12と車幅方向反対側(本実施形態では左側)の前方側端部18を有する。前方側端部18は、運転席12のドライバ12aからは最も離れた位置の車両Cの端部であり、車両Cが曲がる際などに最も注意が必要な部位である。 As shown in FIG. 1 , a vehicle C notification system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a stereoscopic imaging device 2 , a detection unit 4 and a control unit 6 . A vehicle C has a driver's seat 12 in which a steering wheel 10 is arranged. In addition to the driver's seat 12, the vehicle C has a plurality of seats such as a front passenger's seat 14 and a rear seat 16 arranged next to the driver's seat 12. - 特許庁In this embodiment, the vehicle C is a right-hand drive vehicle in which the steering wheel 10 is arranged on the right side in the traveling direction. The vehicle C has a front end portion 18 on the side opposite to the driver's seat 12 in the vehicle width direction (the left side in this embodiment). The front end 18 is the farthest end of the vehicle C from the driver 12a of the driver's seat 12, and is the part that requires the most attention when the vehicle C turns.

立体像結像装置2は、図2および図3に示すように、投影部21で投影する画像N1を、運転席12に対して立体像結像N2として表示する。画像N1は、前方側端部18の位置を示すコーナポールPである。すなわち、投影部21には、コーナポールPの画像N1が投影される。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the stereoscopic image forming apparatus 2 displays the image N1 projected by the projection unit 21 as a stereoscopic image N2 on the driver's seat 12. FIG. An image N1 is a corner pole P indicating the position of the front end 18 . That is, the image N1 of the corner pole P is projected onto the projection unit 21 .

図1に示すように、立体像結像N2は、運転席12のドライバ12aから前方側端部18を結んだ仮想線X上に配置される。これにより、ドライバ12aは、立体像結像N2が、あたかも前方側端部18にコーナポールとして存在するかのように見える。しかし、ドライバ12a以外の乗員14a、および乗員16a、乗員16bには、立体像結像N2は見えない。 As shown in FIG. 1, the stereoscopic image N2 is arranged on the imaginary line X connecting the front end 18 from the driver 12a of the driver's seat 12. As shown in FIG. As a result, the driver 12a sees the stereoscopic image N2 as if it were present at the front end 18 as a corner pole. However, the occupant 14a other than the driver 12a, and the occupants 16a and 16b cannot see the stereoscopic image N2.

図2に示すように、立体像結像装置2は、投影部21と、プレート22と、鏡面体23と、切替手段24と、有する。投影部21は、画像N1を映し出すためのディスプレである。プレート22は、例えば特開2018-124534号公報の明細書に記載された立体像結像装置に用いるプレートであり、投影部21で発した光を制御して、プレート22を挟んで投影部21と反対側に、立体像結像N2を生成する。ドライバ12aは、プレート22が生成した立体像結像N2を視認する。 As shown in FIG. 2 , the stereoscopic imaging device 2 has a projection section 21 , a plate 22 , a mirror body 23 and a switching means 24 . Projector 21 is a display for projecting image N1. The plate 22 is, for example, a plate used in a stereoscopic image forming apparatus described in the specification of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-124534. on the opposite side to generate a stereoscopic image N2. The driver 12a visually recognizes the stereoscopic image N2 generated by the plate 22 .

鏡面体23は、投影部21で投影する画像N1の光を運転席12と異なる位置に反射させる。鏡面体23は、プレート22と異なる角度で配置される。鏡面体23は、光を反射する鏡面部23aを有する。鏡面部23aは、投影部21で投影された画像N1の光を、反射する。鏡面体23で反射された画像の光Rは、プレート22が生成する立体像結像N2とは異なる位置で結像する。これにより、鏡面体23で反射された光Rが結像した画像は、ドライバ12aとは異なる車両Cの乗員によって視認される。本実施形態では、鏡面体23は、投影部21で投影された画像N1の光Rを、ドライバ12aの左隣りに着座した助手席14の乗員14aが視認するように、反射し結像させる(図1の一点鎖線参照)。 The mirror body 23 reflects the light of the image N<b>1 projected by the projection unit 21 to a position different from the driver's seat 12 . The specular body 23 is arranged at a different angle than the plate 22 . The mirror surface body 23 has a mirror surface portion 23a that reflects light. The mirror surface portion 23 a reflects the light of the image N<b>1 projected by the projection portion 21 . The image light R reflected by the specular body 23 is imaged at a position different from the stereoscopic image N2 generated by the plate 22 . Accordingly, an image formed by the light R reflected by the mirror body 23 is visually recognized by an occupant of the vehicle C who is different from the driver 12a. In this embodiment, the mirror body 23 reflects and forms an image of the light R of the image N1 projected by the projection unit 21 so that the occupant 14a in the front passenger seat 14 seated to the left of the driver 12a can visually recognize it ( See the dashed line in FIG. 1).

切替手段24は、鏡面体23の光の反射を、反射状態と、非反射状態に切り替える。図2は、切替手段24が鏡面体23の光の反射を反射状態に切り替えた場合を示す。また、図3は、切替手段24が鏡面体23の光の反射を非反射状態に切り替えた場合を示す。 The switching means 24 switches the light reflection of the specular body 23 between a reflecting state and a non-reflecting state. FIG. 2 shows a case where the switching means 24 switches the light reflection of the specular body 23 to the reflection state. Also, FIG. 3 shows a case where the switching means 24 switches the light reflection of the specular body 23 to a non-reflecting state.

図2に示すように、切替手段24が鏡面体23の光の反射を反射状態に切り替えた場合、鏡面体23は、投影部21で投影された画像N1の光を反射する。これにより、プレート22が生成した立体像結像N2と、鏡面体23が反射した光Rが立体像結像N2と異なる位置で結像した画像と、が生成される。立体像結像N2と異なる位置で結像した画像は、投影部21で投影された画像N1を暈した画像、もしくは画像N1に含まれる一部の光のみが見える画像となる。このため、切替手段24が鏡面体23を反射状態に切り替えた場合、ドライバ12aは、投影部21で投影された画像N1の光を、立体像結像N2として視認する。さらに、ドライバ12aとは異なる車両Cの乗員は、投影部21で投影された画像N1の光を、鏡面体23が反射した光Rが立体像結像N2と異なる位置で結像した画像として視認する。 As shown in FIG. 2 , when the switching means 24 switches the light reflection of the specular body 23 to the reflective state, the specular body 23 reflects the light of the image N<b>1 projected by the projection unit 21 . As a result, a stereoscopic image N2 generated by the plate 22 and an image formed by the light R reflected by the specular body 23 at a position different from the stereoscopic image N2 are generated. An image formed at a position different from that of the stereoscopic image N2 is an image obtained by blurring the image N1 projected by the projection unit 21, or an image in which only part of the light contained in the image N1 is visible. Therefore, when the switching unit 24 switches the mirror body 23 to the reflecting state, the driver 12a visually recognizes the light of the image N1 projected by the projection unit 21 as a stereoscopic image N2. Further, an occupant of the vehicle C different from the driver 12a visually recognizes the light of the image N1 projected by the projection unit 21 as an image formed by the light R reflected by the mirror 23 at a position different from the stereoscopic image N2. do.

図3に示すように、切替手段24が鏡面体23を非反射状態に切り替えた場合、鏡面体23は、投影部21で投影された画像N1の光を反射しない。これにより、プレート22が生成した立体像結像N2のみが生成される。このため、切替手段24が鏡面体23を反射状態に切り替えた場合、ドライバ12aは、投影部21で投影された画像N1の光を、立体像結像N2として視認する。一方で、ドライバ12aとは異なる車両Cの乗員は、投影部21で投影された画像N1の光を視認することはない。これにより、ドライバ12aは、他の車両Cの乗員に知られることなく、車両Cの前方側端部18の位置を立体像結像N2によって認識することができる。 As shown in FIG. 3 , when the switching means 24 switches the mirror body 23 to the non-reflecting state, the mirror body 23 does not reflect the light of the image N1 projected by the projection unit 21 . Thereby, only the stereoscopic image N2 generated by the plate 22 is generated. Therefore, when the switching unit 24 switches the mirror body 23 to the reflecting state, the driver 12a visually recognizes the light of the image N1 projected by the projection unit 21 as a stereoscopic image N2. On the other hand, an occupant of the vehicle C, who is different from the driver 12a, does not see the light of the image N1 projected by the projection unit 21 . Thereby, the driver 12a can recognize the position of the front end 18 of the vehicle C by the stereoscopic imaging N2 without being known by other passengers of the vehicle C.

図2および図3に示すように、切替手段24は、カバー部25と、脱着部26と、含む。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , the switching means 24 includes a cover portion 25 and an attachment/detachment portion 26 .

カバー部25は、切替手段24が鏡面体23を非反射状態に切り替えた場合、鏡面体23の鏡面部23aを覆う。本実施形態では、カバー部25は、鏡面体23の鏡面部23aよりも大きい板状部材である。カバー部25は、脱着部26によって下方にスライドすることで、鏡面体23の鏡面部23aを露出させる。 The cover portion 25 covers the mirror portion 23a of the mirror body 23 when the switching means 24 switches the mirror body 23 to the non-reflecting state. In this embodiment, the cover portion 25 is a plate-like member that is larger than the mirror surface portion 23 a of the mirror surface body 23 . The cover portion 25 is slid downward by the detachable portion 26 to expose the mirror portion 23 a of the mirror body 23 .

脱着部26は、カバー部25を鏡面体23の鏡面部23aから脱着する。脱着部26は、切替手段24が鏡面体23を反射状態に切り替えた場合、カバー部25を鏡面体23の鏡面部23aから移動させる。これにより、鏡面体23の鏡面部23aが、カバー部25から露出する。また、脱着部26は、切替手段24が鏡面体23を非反射状態に切り替えた場合、カバー部25を上方にスライドさせて鏡面体23の鏡面部23aを覆う位置に移動させる。これにより、鏡面体23の鏡面部23aが、カバー部25で覆われる。 The detachable portion 26 detaches the cover portion 25 from the mirror portion 23 a of the mirror body 23 . The detachable part 26 moves the cover part 25 from the mirror part 23 a of the mirror body 23 when the switching means 24 switches the mirror body 23 to the reflecting state. As a result, the mirror surface portion 23 a of the mirror surface body 23 is exposed from the cover portion 25 . Further, when the switching means 24 switches the mirror body 23 to the non-reflecting state, the attaching/detaching part 26 slides the cover part 25 upward to move it to a position covering the mirror surface part 23 a of the mirror body 23 . Thereby, the mirror surface portion 23 a of the mirror surface body 23 is covered with the cover portion 25 .

図1に示すように、検知部4は、車両Cの周囲の障害物を検知する。検知部4は、車両Cの運転席12の反対側の前方側端部18から障害物までの距離を計測することで障害物を検知する。本実施形態では、検知部4は、車両Cの前方側端部18の付近に配置され、超音波の反射によって車両Cの前方側端部18から障害物までの距離を計測する、例えば超音波センサである。 As shown in FIG. 1, the detection unit 4 detects obstacles around the vehicle C. As shown in FIG. The detection unit 4 detects an obstacle by measuring the distance from the front end 18 on the opposite side of the driver's seat 12 of the vehicle C to the obstacle. In this embodiment, the detection unit 4 is arranged near the front end 18 of the vehicle C, and measures the distance from the front end 18 of the vehicle C to an obstacle by reflection of ultrasonic waves. sensor.

制御部6は、報知システム1を制御する。制御部6は、車両Cの周囲の障害物が車両Cに接近した場合、切替手段24を操作して、鏡面体23の光の反射を反射状態にする。制御部6は、前方側端部18から障害物までの距離が所定値よりも小さい場合に、切替手段24を操作して鏡面体23の光の反射を反射状態にする。制御部6は、前方側端部18から障害物までの距離が所定値よりも小さい場合に、脱着部26を操作してカバー部25を下方にスライドさせて鏡面体23の鏡面部23aから外す。 A control unit 6 controls the notification system 1 . When an obstacle around the vehicle C approaches the vehicle C, the control unit 6 operates the switching means 24 to change the reflection state of the mirror body 23 to the reflection state. When the distance from the front end 18 to the obstacle is smaller than a predetermined value, the control unit 6 operates the switching means 24 to change the light reflection state of the mirror body 23 . When the distance from the front end portion 18 to the obstacle is smaller than a predetermined value, the control portion 6 operates the detachable portion 26 to slide the cover portion 25 downward and remove it from the mirror surface portion 23 a of the mirror surface body 23 . .

次に、図4のフローチャートを用いて、報知システム1の制御の内容を説明する。 Next, the contents of the control of the notification system 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

投影部21は、画像N1を投影する(S1)。制御部6は、検知部4からの出力によって、前方側端部18から障害物までの距離が所定値以下か否かを判定する(S2)。制御部6は、前方側端部18から障害物までの距離が所定値以下であると判断した場合(S2,Yes)、切替手段24の脱着部26を操作してカバー部25を下方にスライドさせる(S3)。これにより、鏡面体23の光の反射を、反射状態に切り替える。 The projection unit 21 projects the image N1 (S1). The control unit 6 determines whether or not the distance from the front end 18 to the obstacle is equal to or less than a predetermined value based on the output from the detection unit 4 (S2). When the controller 6 determines that the distance from the front end 18 to the obstacle is equal to or less than the predetermined value (S2, Yes), the controller 6 operates the detachable part 26 of the switching means 24 to slide the cover 25 downward. (S3). As a result, the reflection of light on the specular body 23 is switched to the reflective state.

制御部6は、前方側端部18から障害物までの距離が所定値より大きいか否かを判定する(S4)。制御部6は、前方側端部18から障害物までの距離が所定値より大きいと判断した場合(S4,Yes)、切替手段24の脱着部26を操作してカバー部25を上方にスライドさせて(S5)、制御をリターンさせる。これにより、鏡面体23の光の反射を、非反射状態に戻す。 The controller 6 determines whether or not the distance from the front end 18 to the obstacle is greater than a predetermined value (S4). When the controller 6 determines that the distance from the front end 18 to the obstacle is greater than the predetermined value (S4, Yes), the controller 6 operates the detachable part 26 of the switching means 24 to slide the cover 25 upward. (S5) to return the control. As a result, the light reflection of the specular body 23 is returned to the non-reflection state.

制御部6は、前方側端部18から障害物までの距離が所定値より小さい場合(S2,No)、制御をリターンさせる。また、制御部6は、前方側端部18から障害物までの距離が所定値以下である場合(S4,No)、制御をS3に戻す。 If the distance from the front end 18 to the obstacle is smaller than the predetermined value (S2, No), the control unit 6 returns the control. Also, when the distance from the front end 18 to the obstacle is equal to or less than the predetermined value (S4, No), the control unit 6 returns the control to S3.

以上説明した通り、本発明によれば、車両の運転席のドライバのみに車両の周囲の状態を報知しながらも、車両の周囲の障害物が接近した場合には、ドライバ以外の乗員に的確に報知できる、車両の報知システムを提供できる。 As described above, according to the present invention, while notifying only the driver in the driver's seat of the vehicle of the state of the surroundings of the vehicle, when an obstacle around the vehicle is approaching, it is possible to accurately notify passengers other than the driver. A vehicle notification system can be provided.

(a)上記実施形態では、切替手段24はカバー部25と脱着部26とによって、鏡面体23の光の反射を、反射状態と非反射状態とに切り替えたが、本発明はこれに限定されない。すなわち、切替手段24は、鏡面体23の鏡面部23aを露出させた状態と覆った状態とで切り替えることができればよく、シャッターやブラインド等で構成されてもよい。 (a) In the above embodiment, the switching means 24 switches the light reflection of the specular body 23 between the reflective state and the non-reflective state by the cover portion 25 and the detachable portion 26, but the present invention is not limited to this. . In other words, the switching means 24 only needs to be able to switch between the state in which the mirror surface portion 23a of the mirror surface body 23 is exposed and the state in which the mirror surface portion 23a is covered, and may be configured by a shutter, a blind, or the like.

(b)上記実施形態では、鏡面体23が反射した光Rは、助手席14に着座した乗員14aが視認できる位置で結像したが、本発明はこれに限定されない。すなわち、鏡面体23が反射した光Rによる画像は、ドライバ12a以外の車両Cの乗員が視認できる位置で結像すればよく、結像する位置は車両Cの内部で任意に設定することができる。 (b) In the above embodiment, the light R reflected by the mirror body 23 forms an image at a position visible to the passenger 14a seated on the front passenger seat 14, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the image formed by the light R reflected by the mirror body 23 may be formed at a position visible to the passengers of the vehicle C other than the driver 12a. .
