Abstract
Bei einer Anzeigeeinheit für Kraftfahrzeuge mit einer einem Betrachter zugewandten, ein erstes Anzeigeelement enthaltenden ersten Anzeigeebene und mit einer zweiten als transparente Scheibe ausgebildeten und, in Blickrichtung des Betrachters gesehen, vor der ersten Anzeigeebene liegenden zweiten Anzeigeebene, auf der Informationsinhalte eines zweiten Anzeigeelementes wahlweise sichtbar gemacht werden können, trägt die Scheibe einen mechanischen Zeiger und dessen Antriebsmittel als Bestandteil eines Zeigerinstruments. Die Scheibe ist ferner mit Skalenbeschriftungselementen als weiterer Bestandteil des Zeigerinstruments versehen, die wahlweise vollständig oder nur teilweise sichtbar schaltbar sind.In a display unit for motor vehicles with a viewer facing a first display element containing first display level and with a second formed as a transparent disc and seen in the viewing direction of the viewer, before the first display level lying second display level, made visible on the information content of a second display element selectively can be, the disc carries a mechanical pointer and its drive means as part of a pointer instrument. The disc is further provided with scale inscription elements as a further component of the pointer instrument, which are optionally completely or only partially visible switchable.
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Anzeigeeinheit für Kraftfahrzeuge mit einer einem Betrachter zugewandten, ein erstes Anzeigeelement enthaltenden ersten Anzeigeebene und einer als transparente Scheibe ausgebildeten und in Blickrichtung des Betrachters gesehen vor der ersten Anzeigeebene liegenden zweiten Anzeigeebene, auf der Informationsinhalte eines zweiten Anzeigeelementes wahlweise sichtbar gemacht werden können.The The invention relates to a display unit for motor vehicles with a viewer facing a first display element containing first display level and a transparent disc trained and seen in the direction of the viewer in front of the first display level lying second display level, on the information content a second display element can be optionally made visible can.
Es
sind bereits derartige Anzeigeeinheiten für Kraftfahrzeuge
bekannt. Dabei befinden sich in der Regel in der ersten Anzeigeebene
analoge Zeiger-Anzeigeinstrumente beispielsweise für die
Geschwindigkeit (vgl.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine optisch verbesserte Anzeigeeinheit für ein Kraftfahrzeug anzugeben, bei der ein Optimum an Information dem Betrachter vermittelt wird.task The invention is an optically improved display unit for to provide a motor vehicle, in which an optimum of information is conveyed to the viewer.
Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe eine Anzeigeeinheit mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1.The Invention solves this problem a display unit with the Features of claim 1.
Die Erfindung ist geprägt durch mehrere Grundüberlegungen. Zum einen ist die Lage des Zeigerinstruments geändert. An Stelle der ersten Anzeigeebene befindet sich das Instrument nun in der zweiten Anzeigeebene.The Invention is characterized by several basic considerations. First, the position of the pointer instrument is changed. Instead of the first display level, the instrument is now in the second display level.
Darüber hinaus werden die Skalenbeschriftungselemente nur in dem Umfang aktiviert und für den Betrachter sichtbar gemacht, wie dies notwendig und sinnvoll ist. Wird das Fahrzeug im Stadtverkehr bewegt, sind die Skalenelemente für die Anzeige der Höchstgeschwindigkeit in aller Regel entbehrlich. Es wird also nur der unbedingt notwendige Bedarf an der Gesamt-Anzeigefläche für das Zeiger-Anzeigeinstrument beansprucht. Die sich daraus ergebende verbleibende Anzeigefläche kann beispielsweise in deutlich erweitertem Umfang für fahrsituations-abhängige Informationen verwendet werden. Diese Informationen können in der ersten und/oder der zweiten Anzeigeebene dargestellt werden.About that In addition, the scale labeling elements are only to the extent activated and made visible to the viewer, such as this is necessary and useful. If the vehicle is moved in city traffic, are the scale elements for displaying the maximum speed usually dispensable. So it's just the absolutely necessary Need for the total display area for the pointer gauge claimed. The resulting remaining display area can, for example, be significantly expanded for Driving situation-dependent information can be used. This information may be in the first and / or the second Display level.
Weitere Vorteile und Einzelheiten der Erfindung sind in den weiteren Patentansprüchen wiedergegeben.Further Advantages and details of the invention are in the further claims played.
So können in der Scheibe ein weiterer mechanischer Zeiger und dessen Antriebsmittel als Bestandteil eines zweiten Zeigerinstruments angeordnet sein, dessen Skalenbeschriftungselemente ebenfalls nur bedarfsgerecht sichtbar gemacht werden. Enthält die Scheibe dabei Rahmenelemente für beide Zeigerinstrumente, die wahlweise jedes Zeigerinstrument für sich oder die beiden Zeigerinstrumente als ein gemeinsamer Rahmen umgeben, kann bei Aktivierung des Rahmens für nur ein Zeigerinstrument dessen Bedeutung betont und bei Aktivierung eines für beide Anzeigeinstrumente gemeinsamen Rahmens ein geschlossener Eindruck erzielt werden.So can in the disc another mechanical pointer and its drive means as part of a second pointer instrument be arranged, whose scale labeling elements also only be made visible as needed. Contains the disc while frame elements for both pointer instruments, the optional each pointer instrument for itself or the two pointer instruments as Surrounded by a common frame, when activating the frame for only one pointer instrument whose meaning emphasizes and when activating a common frame for both gauges a closed impression can be achieved.
Die Verwendung von Flüssigkeitskristallelementen als Skalenbeschriftungselemente und/oder Rahmenelemente stellt eine konstruktiv besonders einfache und zuverlässige Realisierungsmöglichkeit dar.The Use of liquid crystal elements as scale labeling elements and / or frame elements provides a structurally particularly simple and reliable realization possibility.
Schließlich ergibt sich dann, wenn die zweite Anzeigeebene mit Bezug auf die erste Anzeigeebene geneigt ist, ein besonders plastischer Eindruck des gesamten Anzeigebildes.After all arises when the second display level with respect to the first display level is inclined, a particularly vivid impression of the entire display image.
Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in den Figuren dargestellt.embodiments The invention are illustrated in the figures.

Die
beiden Zeiger-Anzeigeinstrumente
Die Anzeigeskalen für die Fahrgeschwindigkeit und Motordrehzahl sind nur teilweise sichtbar. Der Umfang der Skalenanzeige richtet sich nach den tatsächlich vorliegenden bzw. zu erwartenden Werten. Die an sich unrealistischen Werte 60 und 80 (km/h) dienen dazu, die Anzeige als Geschwindigkeitsanzeige identifizierbar zu machen und Missverständnisse zu vermeiden, wie sie bei einer Anzeige nur von 0,20 und 40 mit der Möglichkeit der Fehlinterpretation des in cm wiedergegebenen Abstands vom Hindernis gegeben ist.The Display scales for the driving speed and engine speed are only partially visible. The scope of the scale display directs depending on the actual or expected Values. The intrinsically unrealistic values 60 and 80 (km / h) are used to make the ad identifiable as a speed gauge too make and avoid misunderstandings as they do an ad only from 0.20 and 40 with the possibility of Misinterpretation of the distance from the obstacle represented in cm given is.
