Vehicle instrumentation

Abstract

Provided is a vehicle instrumentation, which can improve the designability of an instrument panel, increase the area of a decorative panel and ensure the visibility of an instrument display. In an instrumentation (70) which is in a relative arrangement with passengers and is provided with a speed chart (73) and a lock core hole (101), the decorative panel (100) which is formed by the connection of a speed chart encircling part (103) encircling the speed chart (73) and a lock core hole encircling part (102) encircling the lock core hole (101) and is disposed at the surface side of the instrumentation (70). The decorative panel (100) forms the surface with high light reflectivity through a processing like plating. A smooth design surface (102a) disposed at the connection part of the speed chart encircling part (103) and the lock core hole encircling part (102) is formed by curved surfaces protruding towards passengers. When the instrumentation (70) is viewed from the front side, the design surface (102a) of the decorative panel (100) is disposed at the lower part of the speed chart (73) and at the center of the width direction of vehicle disposed above the lock core hole (101). The curved surface of the design surface (102a) is formed into a bending surface bending towards the vehicle width direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle meter device, and more particularly to a vehicle meter device disposed at the center in the width direction of the vehicle facing the occupants. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there has been known a structure in which a decorative panel is attached to the surface of an instrument panel in order to improve the design of a vehicle instrument device having a speedometer, a warning lamp, and the like. [0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a vehicle instrument device in which a decorative panel formed to continuously surround two instrument windows is attached to the surface of an instrument panel. [0004] Patent Document 1: (Japanese) Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2008-82964 [0005] However, in order to further improve the designability of the instrument panel, it is conceivable to increase the area of ​​the decorative panel or to perform reflective surface finishing such as plating on the sur...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the instrument panel is generally arranged at a position facing the face of the occupant. Therefore, if the area of ​​the reflecting surface is increased, the amount of light reflected toward the driver increases. It may be difficult to see the display of the instrument panel, making it difficult to increase the area of ​​​​the trim panel

The decorative panel of the instrument device disclosed in Patent Document 1 does not have a shape in consideration of the aforementioned problems.
