Abstract
Description
スイッチ装置は、例えば、スイッチケースと、灯火器や電装品等を作動させるスイッチとを備える。
スイッチケース内にはLED等の光源が設けられ、光源の光が、スイッチ、スイッチケースの表示部を発光させる。
本発明の目的は、レイアウトの自由度を高め、スイッチケースの大型化を抑制することができるスイッチ装置を提供することにある。
上述した課題を解決するため、本発明は、スイッチケース(23,63)に、スイッチ(25,26,27,65,66,67,68)と表示部(41,42,43,71,72,73,74)とが設けられ、前記表示部(41,42,43,71,72,73,74)が発光可能なスイッチ装置において、前記スイッチケース(23,63)の内側に前記表示部(41,42,43,71,72,73,74)を発光させる光源(51,52,53,81,82,83)が設けられ、前記表示部(41,42,43,71,72,73,74)の正面を見たときに、前記表示部(41,42,43,71,72,73,74)とは重ならない位置に前記光源(51,52,53,81,82,83)が設けられることを特徴とする。
また、上記構成において、前記光源(51,52,53,81,82,83)の中心線(56a)が、前記表示部(41,42,43,71,72,73,74)の発光方向に対して直交するように配置されるとともに、前記光源(51,52,53,81,82,83)は、前記スイッチケース(23,63)側に支持されていても良い。
また、上記構成において、前記表示部(42,43,72,73,74)は複数設けられ、単一の前記光源(52,82,83)で前記複数の表示部(42,43,72,73,74)が発光可能であっても良い。
また、光源の中心線と表示部の発光方向が直交し、光源がスイッチケース側に支持されているので、スイッチケース内部の空間が広く確保でき、スイッチケース全体の小型化を図ることができる。
また、表示部は複数設けられ、単一の光源で複数の表示部が発光可能であるので、光源の個数を減らすことができ、コスト及び消費電力を低減させることができる。
また、スイッチケースは、その取付対象物を挟むように二つ割りに設けられる正面側スイッチケースと背面側スイッチケースとを備え、表示部及び光源は、正面側スイッチケースに設けられるので、光源によって表示部を簡単な構造で発光させることができる。
<第1実施形態>
図1は、本発明に係る自動二輪車のバーハンドル11に備える右スイッチ装置20を示す斜視図(第1実施形態)である。
自動二輪車の前部上部に、前輪を操舵するバーハンドル11が設けられる。バーハンドル11には、その右端部に配置されたスロットルグリップ12と、スロットルグリップ12の車体中心側に近接するように配置された一側のスイッチ装置としての右スイッチ装置20とが設けられている。
なお、上記したスロットルグリップ12は、スロットルボディにスロットルケーブルを介して連結されたものに限らない。
右スイッチ装置20は、アッパーケース21及びロアケース22からなる二つ割り構造のスイッチケース23と、スイッチケース23に設けられた各スイッチ(スタータスイッチ25、ライティングスイッチ26及びエンジンストップスイッチ27)とを備える。
スタータスイッチ25は、自動二輪車に備えるスタータモータを作動させるプッシュスイッチであり、スタータモータを作動させることによりエンジンが始動する。
ライティングスイッチ26は、自動二輪車に備えるポジションランプ、テールランプ、メータの照明等及びヘッドランプを点灯させるスライドスイッチである。ライティングスイッチ26を、スイッチオフ位置(上記ランプの消灯位置)から1段目にスライドさせることでポジションランプ、テールランプ、メータの照明等が点灯し、更に2段目にスライドさせることでヘッドランプが点灯する。
エンジンストップスイッチ27は、エンジンに備える点火装置への通電を停止させるシーソースイッチであり、点火装置への通電を停止させることで、エンジンが停止する。エンジンに燃料噴射装置を備える場合には、エンジンストップスイッチ27によって燃料噴射装置への通電も停止する。
図2(A)に示すように、アッパーケース21に、スタータスイッチ25、ライティングスイッチ26及びエンジンストップスイッチ27が設けられている。
スタータスイッチ25は、アッパーケース21の下部に設けられ、ライティングスイッチ26は、アッパーケース21の高さ方向の中央に設けられ、エンジンストップスイッチ27は、アッパーケース21の上部に設けられている。なお、符号30はバーハンドル11(図1参照)の軸線であり、ライティングスイッチ26は、軸線30に重なるように配置されている。
図2(C)に示すように、スイッチケース23は、バーハンドル11(図1参照)に嵌合するハンドル嵌合穴23bが形成され、ハンドル嵌合穴23bの縁から、アッパーケース21とロアケース22との合わせ部23c,23dが延びている。
図2(D)に示すように、ロアケース22の底面には、アッパーケース21とロアケース22とを締結するビス34がそれぞれ通される一対のビス挿通部22a(一方のビス挿通部22aのみ図示)が形成されている。なお、符号23eはアッパーケース21とロアケース22との合わせ部である。
図2(A)及び図3(A)に示すように、アッパーケース21は、スタータスイッチ25を配置するための切欠き部21aと、ライティングスイッチ26を配置するための下部穴部21bと、エンジンストップスイッチ27を配置するための上部穴部21cとが形成されている。上記した切欠き部21a、下部穴部21b、上部穴部21cは、それぞれアッパーケース21の下部、上下方向の中間部、上部に形成されている。
スタータスイッチ用マーク41は、スタータスイッチ25を表す表示部であり、切欠き部21aの左斜め上側近傍に描かれている。ライティングスイッチ用マーク42は、ライティングスイッチ26を表す表示部であって、詳しくは、右から左へ順に、オフマーク42a、ポジションランプマーク42b、マスターライティングマーク42cからなり、下部穴部21bの上側近傍に描かれている。エンジンストップスイッチ用マーク43は、エンジンストップスイッチ27を表す表示部であり、上部穴部21cの左側近傍に描かれている。
アッパーケース21の外表面21kには、上記したスタータスイッチ用マーク41、ライティングスイッチ用マーク42、エンジンストップスイッチ用マーク43を除いて全体に黒色系塗料が塗布されている。また、ロアケース22(図3(B)参照)については、その外表面の全体に黒色系塗料が塗布されている。
LED光源51,52,53は、それぞれが、点灯用回路が形成された基板55と、基板55上に実装されたLEDチップ56とを備える光源である。LEDチップ56は、その発光面の中央から延ばした垂線56a(図4参照)が、LED光源51,52,53の光軸となる。
LED光源51は、そのLEDチップ56の垂線56aが、スタータスイッチ用マーク41の近傍を指向し、スタータスイッチ用マーク41を発光させる。スタータスイッチ用マーク41を正面から見たときには、スタータスイッチ用マーク41に対してLED光源51は、右斜め上側にオフセットした位置に設けられている。即ち、スタータスイッチ用マーク41の正面視では、スタータスイッチ用マーク41とLED光源51とは重ならない。
更に、上記したLED光源51,52,53のそれぞれのLEDチップ56の垂線56aは、いずれも、三次元的に、各マーク(スタータスイッチ用マーク41、ライティングスイッチ用マーク42及びエンジンストップスイッチ用マーク43)に対してオフセットしている。
アッパーケース21は、内表面21dに光源収容部21eが形成され、アッパーケース21の光源収容部21eに収容凹部21qが形成され、収容凹部21qにLED光源52が収容されている。収容凹部21qは、最も奥側に形成された第1収容部21fと、第1収容部21fに隣接して第1収容部21fよりも幅広に形成された第2収容部21gと、最も開口側に第2収容部21gよりも更に幅広に形成された第3収容部21hとから構成される。第1収容部21f及び第2収容部21gにはLED光源52が収容されている。第3収容部21hには、第2収容部21gと第3収容部21hとの間に形成された段部21jに当たるようにゴム製のシール部材58が取付けられている。シール部材58は、収容凹部21q内に雨水や土埃等が入り込むのを防止している。
シール部材58は、LED光源52と一体的に構成され、LED光源52に通電するための一対の導線59が水密状態でシール部材58を貫通している。
以上に説明したように、アッパーケース21は、その内表面21d及び外表面21kが各マーク(図2(A),(B)に示したスタータスイッチ用マーク41、ライティングスイッチ用マーク42及びエンジンストップスイッチ用マーク43)を除いて黒色系塗料の塗膜で覆われている。LED光源51,52,53(LED光源51,53については図3(A),(B)参照)からアッパーケース21の透明又は半透明とされた内側部分に照射された光は、その内側部分を進んで各マーク(スタータスイッチ用マーク41、ライティングスイッチ用マーク42及びエンジンストップスイッチ用マーク43)に達し、各マーク(スタータスイッチ用マーク41、ライティングスイッチ用マーク42及びエンジンストップスイッチ用マーク43)を発光させる。また、上記黒色系塗料の塗膜によって、各マーク(スタータスイッチ用マーク41、ライティングスイッチ用マーク42及びエンジンストップスイッチ用マーク43)以外の部分からアッパーケース21の内側部分の光が外部に洩れるのを防止することができる。
アッパーケース21は、その内表面21dに一体に一対のボス部21n(一方のボス部21nのみ図示)が形成され、各ボス部21nに埋め込まれたナット部材36にビス34がねじ結合されることでアッパーケース21とロアケース22(図1参照)とが締結される。
アッパーケース21のボス部21nには、隣接して一体に光源収容部21pが形成され、アッパーケース21の光源収容部21pにLED光源51が収容されている。
他のLED光源53(図3(A),(B)参照)についても、上記LED光源51と同じようにアッパーケース21に設けられた光源収容部に収容されている。
また、図3(A)に示したLED光源52が収容される光源収容部21e(図4参照)及びLED光源53(図3(A)参照)が収容される光源収容部についても、アッパーケース21の内表面に形成されたボス部に隣接して一体に形成されている。
図6(A)に示す他側のスイッチ装置としての左スイッチ装置60は、バーハンドル11(図1参照)に設けられ、バーハンドル11の左端部に配置されたハンドルグリップの車体中心側に近接するように配置されている。
左スイッチ装置60は、アッパーケース61及びロアケース62(図6(B)参照)からなる二つ割り構造のスイッチケース63と、スイッチケース63に設けられた各スイッチ(ホーンスイッチ65、ウインカースイッチ(ターンシグナルスイッチ)66、ディマースイッチ67及びパッシングスイッチ68(図6(B)参照))とを備える。
ホーンスイッチ65は、ホーンを鳴らすプッシュスイッチであり、アッパーケース61の下部に設けられている。ウインカースイッチ66は、左側又は右側のウインカー(ターンシグナルランプ)を点滅させるスイッチであり、アッパーケース61の高さ方向の中央に設けられ、軸線30と重なっている。ディマースイッチ67は、ヘッドランプのハイビーム(走行ビーム)とロービーム(すれ違いビーム)とを切換えるスイッチであり、アッパーケース61の上部に設けられている。
ホーンスイッチ用マーク71は、ホーンスイッチ65を表す表示部であり、ホーンスイッチ65の上側近傍に描かれている。ウインカースイッチ用マーク72は、ウインカースイッチ66を表す表示部であり、ウインカースイッチ66の上側近傍に描かれている。ディマースイッチ用マーク73は、ディマースイッチ67を表す表示部であり、ディマースイッチ67の右側近傍に描かれている。
ホーンスイッチ用マーク71、ウインカースイッチ用マーク72、ディマースイッチ用マーク73は、それぞれアッパーケース61の外表面61qの黒色系塗料が塗られていない部分を覆うように白色又は他の色の透光性を有する塗料で描かれている。
パッシングスイッチ68は、ヘッドランプが点灯していない時にはハイビームを点灯させ、ヘッドランプが点灯している時にはハイビームとロービームとを切換えるスイッチであり、ロアケース62側に設けられている。アッパーケース61には、パッシングスイッチ68の後側近傍にパッシングスイッチ用マーク74が、黒色系塗料が塗られていない部分を覆うように白色又は他の色の透光性を有する塗料で描かれている。パッシングスイッチ用マーク74は、パッシングスイッチ68を表す表示部である。
ロアケース62には、アッパーケース61とロアケース62とを締結するビス76をそれぞれ通す一対のビス挿通部62a(一方のビス挿通部62aのみ図示)が形成されている。
図6(D)に示すように、軸線30より後方であってホーンスイッチ65より前方に、アッパーケース61とロアケース62との合わせ部63eが設けられている。
上記したように、アッパーケース61の外表面には、図6(A),(B)に示したホーンスイッチ用マーク71、ウインカースイッチ用マーク72、ディマースイッチ用マーク73、パッシングスイッチ用マーク74を除いて全体に黒色系塗料が塗布されて塗膜が形成されている。また、ロアケース62(図6(B)参照)については、その外表面の全体に黒色系塗料が塗布されて塗膜が形成されている。
図7(A),(B)に示すように、ホーンスイッチ用マーク71の中央又は略中央を通るとともにアッパーケース61の外表面61q又はホーンスイッチ用マーク71の表面に接する接線90に対して垂直となる垂線91を引く。本実施形態では、白抜き矢印Sに示すように、垂線91上で垂線91に沿う方向からホーンスイッチ用マーク71を見たときに、「ホーンスイッチ用マーク71の正面」、「ホーンスイッチ用マーク71の正面視」、「ホーンスイッチ用マーク71の正面を見た」、「ホーンスイッチ用マーク71を正面から見た」、「ホーンスイッチ用マーク71が正面に見える」と表す。
即ち、垂線91は、ホーンスイッチ用マーク71の表面に対して垂直に延びる垂線、又はホーンスイッチマーク71が描かれた部分のアッパーケース61の外表面61qに対して垂直に延びる垂線である。
なお、図2及び図6に示したスタータスイッチ用マーク41以外の各マークの正面についての表現も、上記ホーンスイッチ用マーク71の正面についての表現と同じである。
アッパーケース61は、ホーンスイッチ65(図6(A)参照)を配置するための切欠き部61aと、ウインカースイッチ66を横にスライドさせるためのスリット部61bと、ディマースイッチ67を配置するための上部穴部61cとが形成されている。
上記の切欠き部61a、スリット部61b、上部穴部61cは、それぞれアッパーケース61の下部、上下方向の中間部、上部に形成されている。
アッパーケース61の内表面61dには、上部穴部61cを挟むように上部穴部61cの下側近傍及び右側近傍に形成された一対のボス部61e,61fと、一方のボス部61eの右側に近接するように形成されたボス部61nと、上部穴部61cの右側近傍に形成されたボス部61gと、切欠き部61aよりも右方に形成されたボス部61r,61sと、上部穴部61cの左側近傍に形成されたボス部61tとを備える。
また、アッパーケース61の内表面61dには、ボス部61eの右側でボス部61nの下側に隣接するようにボス部61e,61nと一体に形成された第1光源収容部61hと、ボス部61gの下側に隣接するようにボス部61gと一体に形成された第2光源収容部61jと、ボス部61fの右斜め下側に隣接するようにボス部61fと一体に形成された第3光源収容部61kとを備える。
LED光源81,82,83は、それぞれが、点灯用回路が形成された基板55と、基板55上に実装されたLEDチップ56とを備える光源であり、構造については、LED光源51,52,53(図3(A)参照)と同一である。
なお、LEDチップ56の垂線56aは、LED光源81,82,83の光軸である。垂線56a上では最も光度が大きく、垂線56aから離れるにつれて光度が次第に低下する。符号61uは第2光源収容部61jから下方に延びるようにアッパーケース61の内表面61dに形成された補強用リブであり、スリット部61bの右端部に近接するように設けられている。
LED光源82は、そのLEDチップ56の垂線56aが、ウインカースイッチ用マーク72とディマースイッチ用マーク73のディマースイッチ用マーク73との間に向けて延び、ウインカースイッチ用マーク72とロービームマーク73bとを発光させる。ウインカースイッチ用マーク72を正面から見たときには、ウインカースイッチ用マーク72に対してLED光源82は、右側にオフセットした位置に設けられている。即ち、ウインカースイッチ用マーク72の正面視では、ウインカースイッチ用マーク72とLED光源82とは重ならない。
更に、上記したLED光源81,82,83のそれぞれのLEDチップ56の垂線56aは、いずれも、三次元的に、各マーク(ホーンスイッチ用マーク71、ウインカースイッチ用マーク72、ディマースイッチ用マーク73及びパッシングスイッチ用マーク74)に対してオフセットしている。
アッパーケース61は、内表面61dに第2光源収容部61jが形成され、第2光源収容部61jの収容凹部61mにLED光源82が収容されている。収容凹部61mは、最も奥側に形成された第1収容部21fと、第1収容部21fに隣接して第1収容部21fよりも幅広に形成された第2収容部21gと、最も開口側に第2収容部21gよりも更に幅広に形成された第3収容部21hとから構成される。第1収容部21f及び第2収容部21gにはLED光源82が収容されている。第3収容部21hには、シール部材58が配置され、シール部材58によって収容凹部61m内に雨水や土埃等が入り込むのを防止している。
アッパーケース61の内表面61dには、収容凹部61mの内面21mを除いて全体に黒色系塗料を塗布することにより形成された塗膜24が形成されている。また、ロアケース62(図6(B)参照)には、その内表面の全体に黒色系塗料の塗膜24が塗布されている。
ウインカースイッチ用マーク72は、アッパーケース61の外表面61qに直接に白色又は他の色の透光性を有する塗料が塗布されることにより描かれている。
LED光源82に通電され、LEDチップ56が発光すると、その光は、矢印A,B,Cで示すようにアッパーケース61の透明又は半透明とされた内側部分を進み、アッパーケース61の外表面61qに描かれたウインカースイッチ用マーク72を構成する左ウインカーマーク72a、オフマーク72b及び右ウインカーマーク72cに達する。そして、光は、左ウインカーマーク72a、オフマーク72b及び右ウインカーマーク72cを形成する透光性を有する塗膜内で乱反射し、矢印D,E,Fに示すように、各方向に広がりながら外部に進み、自動二輪車の運転者等に視認される。
更に、LEDチップの垂線をウインカースイッチ用マーク72に向けるようにLED光源を配置した場合、LEDチップが実装される基板がスイッチケース63の外表面61qや内表面61dに略平行になり、内表面61dにおいて、LED光源の占有面積が大きくなる。この結果、内表面61dでのLED光源の配置自由度が制約を受けることになる。
なお、LEDチップ56の垂線56aを、スイッチケース63の外表面61qや内表面61dに沿うようにしなくても良い。
上記したように、図6~図9において、LED光源81,82,83の光軸(垂線56a)を三次元的には、ホーンスイッチ用マーク71、ウインカースイッチ用マーク72、ディマースイッチ用マーク73及びパッシングスイッチ用マーク74に対してオフセットさせることで、LED光源81,82,83の配置の自由度を増すことができる、即ち、左スイッチ装置60の設計自由度を増すことができる。
図10は、右スイッチ装置100を示す正面図(第2実施形態)である。
一側のスイッチ装置としての右スイッチ装置100は、図2に示した右スイッチ装置20に対して、スタータスイッチ用マーク41及びエンジンストップスイッチ用マーク43の位置が異なる。
右スイッチ装置100は、アッパーケース101及びロアケース(不図示)からなる二つ割り構造のスイッチケース103と、スイッチケース103に設けられた各スイッチ(スタータスイッチ105、ライティングスイッチ26及びエンジンストップスイッチ107)とを備える。
また、スタータスイッチ105及びエンジンストップスイッチ107は、透光性を有する透明又は半透明の樹脂からなり、外表面及び内表面のうち、少なくとも外表面が一部を除いて透光性を有しない黒色又は濃色の黒色系塗料の塗膜で覆われている。
アッパーケース101において、ライティングスイッチ26の上側の近傍にライティングスイッチ用マーク42が描かれている。ライティングスイッチ用マーク42は、アッパーケース101の外表面の黒色系塗料が塗られていない部分を覆うように白色又は他の色の透光性を有する塗料で描かれている。
また、エンジンストップスイッチ107の外表面にはエンジンストップスイッチ用マーク43(エンジン運転マーク43a及びエンジン停止マーク43b(図2(B)参照)が描かれている。エンジン運転マーク43a及びエンジン停止マーク43bは、エンジンストップスイッチ107の外表面の黒色系塗料が塗られていない部分を覆うように白色又は他の色の透光性を有する塗料で描かれている。エンジンストップスイッチ107の内表面(内側)には収容凹部が形成され、その収容凹部にエンジンストップスイッチ用マーク43を発光させるLED光源52Xが設けられている点が、エンジンストップスイッチ27(図2(A)参照)と異なる。
なお、LED光源51,52,53,81,82,83の垂線56aが、それぞれスタータスイッチ用マーク41、ライティングスイッチ用マーク42、エンジンストップスイッチ用マーク43、ホーンスイッチ用マーク71、ウインカースイッチ用マーク72、ディマースイッチ用マーク73及びパッシングスイッチ用マーク74の全部又は一部に沿って延びていなくても良い。
なお、LED光源51,52,53,81,82,83が収容される光源収容部21e,21p、第1光源収容部61h、第2光源収容部61j及び第3光源収容部61kは、それぞれボス部21n,61e,61f,61g,61nの全部又は一部に隣接して一体に形成されていなくても良い。
なお、スイッチケース23,63は、バーハンドル11を挟むように二つ割りになっていなくても良い。
なお、図2及び図6に示した上記以外の各マーク(ライティングスイッチ用マーク42、ホーンスイッチ用マーク71、ウインカースイッチ用マーク72、ディマースイッチ用マーク73及びパッシングスイッチ用マーク74)についても、スイッチケース23,63ではなく、各スイッチ(ライティングスイッチ26、ホーンスイッチ65、ウインカースイッチ66、ディマースイッチ67及びパッシングスイッチ68)に設けても良い。また、各マーク(ライティングスイッチ用マーク42、ホーンスイッチ用マーク71、ウインカースイッチ用マーク72、ディマースイッチ用マーク73及びパッシングスイッチ用マーク74)を発光させるLED光源を、各スイッチ(ライティングスイッチ26、ホーンスイッチ65、ウインカースイッチ66、ディマースイッチ67及びパッシングスイッチ68)の内表面(内側)に設けても良い。
