Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings:

[0019] like Figures 1-6As shown, a marine HUD device mainly comprises a base shell 200, a light shield 300, a control module 400, an input module 500, an image generation module 600, and at least one display screen 100. The display screen 100 is fixed by the base shell 200 and the light shield 300, which are arranged opposite each other. The control module 400 and the input module 500 are both mounted on the base shell 200, and the image generation module 600 is located inside the base shell 200. Both the input module 500 and the image generation module 600 are electrically connected to the control module 400. Preferably, both the base shell and the light shield are made of aluminum alloy.

[0020] The input module 500 receives information from the ship's display and control console and transmits the received information to the control module 400. The control module 400 processes the information received by the input module, allocates display information to each display screen according to the number of screens, and transmits the content to the corresponding image generation unit. The image generation unit converts electrical signals into images on the display screen, enabling the information to be displayed. The control module 400 uses a CPU with information receiving, transmitting, and processing functions, as is available in the prior art. The image generation unit uses a device corresponding to the type of display screen, and the input module uses a CPU with information receiving, transmitting, and simple information processing functions, as is available in the prior art.

[0021] The number of displays can be set as needed. Preferably, the display screen 100 has three sides, and the left and right sides form a certain angle with the front display screen. Each display screen 100 is fixed to the bottom shell 200 by a corresponding light shield 300, so as to facilitate the operator to view different information.

[0022] Specifically, each display screen is configured as a rectangle composed of four waveguide display screens. Correspondingly, the image generation module 600 employs an optical engine, with each waveguide display screen having its own optical engine. The output light from the optical engine illuminates the corresponding waveguide display screen. By selecting a high-power optical engine, a clear display effect can be obtained even when the sea surface is brightly lit. The waveguide display screen includes a waveguide sheet 110 and organic glass layers 111 disposed on the front and rear sides of the waveguide sheet 110. This effectively protects the surface of the waveguide sheet and prevents glass breakage and injury in extreme cases. Simultaneously, the glass has a filtering effect, further ensuring display clarity.

[0023] The base shell 200 includes two bottom beams 210 arranged vertically opposite each other. On each bottom beam 210, on the left and right sides of each display screen 100, there is a mounting box 220 for mounting the image generation module 600. The front of the mounting box 220 is open, and a light-shielding plate can block the mounting box. The upper and lower ends of the mounting box 220 are mounted to the corresponding bottom beams 210. At least two mounting blocks 230 are provided inside the mounting box 220 for mounting the light-shielding plate 300. Simultaneously, through holes are provided on the mounting blocks corresponding to the optical engine, allowing the output light from the optical engine to illuminate the waveguide display screen. The overall structure is simple and lightweight, and the mounting boxes can effectively block the gap between the rear sides of adjacent display screens.

[0024] When a display screen 100 is provided, the mounting box 220 includes a main box body 221 and a cover plate 222 disposed on the side of the main box body 221, and the cover plates 222 of the two mounting boxes 220 are located on the inner side. Correspondingly, the image generation module 600 and the mounting block 230 are both mounted on the cover plate 222.

[0025] When two or more displays 100 are provided, the structure of the mounting boxes 220 located on both sides is the same as the structure of the mounting box 220 when one display 100 is provided. The mounting box 220 located in the middle includes a back plate 223 arranged in a U-shape and side cover plates 224 arranged on the left and right sides of the back plate. Correspondingly, the image generation module 600 and the mounting block 230 are both mounted on the side cover plates 224.

[0026] Each bottom beam 210 has a right-angle bend 211 at its front end to limit the display screen from the rear, and a receiving groove for accommodating the display screen is provided at the rear end of the light shield.

[0027] To enable operator interaction with the display screen, a visual recognition module 700 is installed on the base shell 200. Simultaneously, an interactive information processing module 800, electrically connected to the visual recognition module, is installed inside the base shell 200 and is also electrically connected to the control module. The visual recognition module uses cameras, preferably two cameras, to reduce blind spots. The interactive information processing module processes the motion information captured by the visual recognition module, combines it with signals provided by the input module to form a new input image generation unit, and then transmits it to the control module for processing. The interactive information processing module employs existing technologies with information processing, information receiving, and information transmission functions.

[0028] To facilitate the installation of the entire equipment within the ship's bridge, a mounting bracket 900 is also provided, such as... Figure 6As shown. Specifically, the mounting bracket includes a vertical frame 910 connected to the bottom shell and a horizontal frame 920 connected to the top or ground of the bridge. A reinforcing rib 930 is provided between the vertical and horizontal frames. To facilitate adjustment of the HUD device's installation height, multiple mounting holes 901 are spaced vertically on the horizontal frame. To ensure support strength, both the horizontal and vertical frames have two vertical frames spaced apart on the left and right sides, with a connecting frame located at the rear of the bottom shell between the two vertical frames. Additionally, a mounting block can be provided at the rear of the bottom shell to facilitate connection between the vertical frames and the bottom shell. The mounting bracket can also employ other structures to integrate it into the display console or operating panel of the ship's bridge.
