Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of instruments, and in particular to an instrument with ambient lighting for motorcycles and a motorcycle. Background Technology

[0002] In the wave of intelligent and digital transformation of motorcycles, the instrument panel, as the core medium for human-vehicle interaction, directly affects riding safety and user experience. However, current motorcycle instrument panels on the market still have many limitations in design and functionality.

[0003] From a hardware configuration perspective, current motorcycle instrument panels generally adopt a traditional flat display solution, relying solely on pixels within the screen to visualize information such as speed, fuel level, and mileage, with a lack of ambient lighting around the screen. This single display format not only weakens the instrument panel's visibility in complex lighting conditions but also limits the creation of a personalized vehicle style. During nighttime riding or in environments with complex lighting, the single-screen display is significantly insufficient in terms of visibility and appeal, reducing the user's attention to and efficiency in obtaining instrument information.

[0004] In terms of interactive experience, traditional motorcycle instrument panel designs are rather monotonous, primarily relying on static graphics and text displays and lacking diverse interactive formats. Furthermore, because they don't fully consider the visual characteristics of dynamic riding scenarios, riders struggle to quickly capture key information while riding, and their visual focus doesn't naturally concentrate on the core area of ​​the screen. This design not only increases the time cost of information retrieval but may also distract riders from the road environment, posing a safety hazard.

[0005] In terms of information transmission mechanisms, existing motorcycle instrument panels generally lack dynamic hierarchical feedback capabilities. Speed, as one of the most critical pieces of information during riding, needs to be presented by the instrument panel in an efficient and intuitive manner. However, current instrument panel designs cannot quickly convey speed information through peripheral vision; users must consciously focus their gaze on specific areas of the instrument panel to read the data. This not only distracts attention and increases riding risks during high-speed riding or in complex road conditions, but also reduces the timeliness and accuracy of information acquisition, failing to meet users' needs for real-time, efficient information feedback.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an instrument panel and motorcycle with ambient lighting for motorcycles. By using a light guide ring surrounding the instrument panel, light that changes color according to vehicle speed can be projected onto the instrument panel, effectively improving the visibility of the instrument panel and enabling the rider to perceive speed changes in a timely and accurate manner during high-speed riding or in complex road conditions, thereby reducing riding risks. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an instrument panel with ambient light for motorcycles and a motorcycle, which can transmit light that changes color according to vehicle speed to the instrument panel through a light guide ring surrounding the instrument panel, effectively improving the visibility of the instrument panel.

[0008] This utility model discloses an instrument panel with ambient lighting for motorcycles, comprising an instrument panel and an aperture assembly. The aperture assembly includes a light source and a light guide ring for guiding the light from the light source. The light guide ring's light-emitting portion surrounds the instrument panel and guides the light emitted by the light source to the outer edge of the instrument panel.

[0009] Furthermore, the light guide ring has a set transmittance that allows the emitted light to be scattered.

[0010] Furthermore, the instrument also includes a base housing and a circuit board, the base housing having a base housing sidewall forming a receiving space for mounting the circuit board, and the light-emitting portion of the light guide ring having the following shape:

The light-blocking support is arranged inside the light guide portion of the light guide ring and wraps around the outer edge of the display screen. The light-blocking support is also used to support the display screen and the circuit board.

[0014] Furthermore, the light guide ring is cylindrical and includes a light guide portion and a clamping portion for guiding light. The light guide portion of the light guide ring extends downward to form the clamping portion, which is clamped between the bottom shell sidewall and the circuit board. The light guide portion and the clamping portion form a step, and the light guide portion is supported on the edge of the circuit board by the step. The light guide portion forms a protrusion inward to abut against the light blocking support member. The protrusion is also used to receive light from the light source. The light emitting portion forms a recessed platform, and the transparent cover plate is supported on the recessed platform.

[0015] Furthermore, the light source consists of several LED beads arranged along the outer edge of the circuit board, and the LED beads correspond to the light guide portion of the light guide ring.

[0016] Furthermore, the LED is a tri-color LED, and the system also includes a lighting control component, comprising:

[0017] Speed ​​detection unit, used to detect vehicle speed parameters;

[0018] The control unit receives vehicle speed parameters from the speed detection unit and controls the emission color of the tri-color LED beads according to the vehicle speed parameters.

[0025] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the appearance of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0026] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model. Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the present invention. Figure 3 The following is a schematic diagram of the appearance of this utility model: An instrument panel with ambient lighting for a motorcycle according to this embodiment includes an instrument panel and an aperture assembly. The aperture assembly includes a light source and a light guide ring 4 for guiding the light from the light source. The light guide ring 4 has a light-emitting portion surrounding the instrument panel and guides the light emitted by the light source to the outer edge of the instrument panel. As shown in the figure, it includes an instrument panel and an aperture assembly. The aperture assembly includes a light source and a light guide ring 4 for guiding the light from the light source. The light guide ring 4 has a light-emitting portion surrounding the instrument panel and can guide the light emitted by the light source to the outer edge of the instrument panel, forming an ambient light for the instrument panel.

[0027] In this embodiment, the light guide ring 4 has a set transmittance that allows the exported light to scatter; as shown in the figure, the light guide ring 4 is semi-transparent and has a set transmittance in order to achieve the scattering effect of the exported light, which will not be described in detail here.

[0028] In this embodiment, the instrument further includes a base shell 6 and a circuit board 5. The base shell 6 has a base shell sidewall that forms a receiving space for mounting the circuit board 5. The light-emitting portion of the light guide ring 4 has the following shape:

[0029] The light guide ring 4 surrounds the instrument panel and covers the edge of the bottom shell sidewall, so that the light-emitting part of the light guide ring 4 is exposed between the bottom shell sidewall and the instrument panel, and the exposed surface is arc-shaped. As shown in the figure, the instrument also includes a bottom shell 6 and a circuit board 5. The bottom shell 6 also has a bottom shell sidewall for accommodating the circuit board 5. The shape of the circuit board 5 is adapted to the shape of the bottom shell 6. The circuit board 5 can collect vehicle information such as vehicle speed and display it to the driver through the instrument panel. The light-emitting part of the light guide ring 4 surrounds the instrument panel and covers the edge of the bottom shell sidewall, so that the light-emitting part of the light guide ring 4 is exposed between the bottom shell sidewall and the instrument panel, and the exposed surface is arc-shaped. This allows the light from the light source to be better diffused and displayed through the arc-shaped exposed surface of the light-emitting part of the light guide ring 4, effectively improving the visibility of the ambient light.

[0030] In this embodiment, the instrument panel includes a display screen 2 and a transparent cover plate 1 covering the display screen 2 to protect it. The light guide ring 4, which is used to guide light, surrounds the transparent cover plate 1. As shown in the figure, the instrument panel includes a display screen 2 and a transparent cover plate 1 covering the display screen 2 to protect it. The transparent cover plate 1 can be made of high-strength glass or resin and other organic materials, which will not be described in detail here. The light guide ring 4, which is used to guide light, surrounds the transparent cover plate 1, so that the transparent cover plate 1 can scatter the light guided by the light guide ring 4 into the instrument panel, forming an approximately gradient aperture effect on the outer ring of the instrument panel.

[0031] In this embodiment, a light-blocking support 3 is also provided between the circuit board 5 and the display screen 2. The light-blocking support 3 is arranged inside the light guide portion of the light guide ring 4 and surrounds the outer edge of the display screen 2. The light-blocking support 3 is also used to support the display screen 2 and the circuit board 5. As shown in the figure, a light-blocking support 3 is also provided between the circuit board 5 and the display screen 2. The light-blocking support 3 is a cylindrical shape with a stepped form, which is used to prevent the light from the light guide portion from entering the instrument and avoid affecting the display effect of the display screen 2. At the same time, the side wall of the stepped structure is also wrapped around the display screen 2, so that the light-blocking support 3 is arranged inside the light guide portion of the light guide ring 4 and surrounds the outer edge of the display screen 2. The stepped structure of the light-blocking support 3 is also used to support the display screen 2 and the circuit board 5. The bottom of the light-blocking support 3 is supported on the circuit board 5 and forms a grid structure to avoid the circuit components on the circuit board 5.

[0032] In this embodiment, the light guide ring 4 is cylindrical and further includes a light guide portion and a clamping portion for guiding light. The light guide portion of the light guide ring 4 extends downward to form the clamping portion, which is clamped between the bottom shell sidewall and the circuit board 5. The light guide portion and the clamping portion form a step, and the light guide portion is supported on the edge of the circuit board 5 by the step. The light guide portion forms a protrusion inward to abut against the light blocking support 3. The protrusion is also used to receive light from the light source. The light emitting portion forms a recessed platform, and the transparent cover plate 1 is supported on the recessed platform. As shown in the figure, the light guide ring 4 is cylindrical and further includes a light guide portion for guiding light. The light guide and clamping parts are formed by extending the light guide part of the light guide ring 4 downwards and clamping the light guide part between the bottom shell side wall and the circuit board 5. At the same time, the light guide part and the clamping part form a step, and the light guide part is supported on the edge of the circuit board 5 by the step. The light guide part forms a protrusion inward to resist the light blocking support 3. The protrusion is also used to receive the light from the light source, so that the receiving surface of the light guide part is expanded to receive more light. At the same time, the light emitting part of the light guide ring 4 forms a recessed platform, and the transparent cover plate 1 is supported on the recessed platform, so that the surface of the instrument is approximately flat, further improving the display effect of the light guide ring 4.

[0033] In this embodiment, the light source is a plurality of LED beads 8 arranged along the outer edge of the circuit board 5, and the LED beads 8 correspond to the light guide portion of the light guide ring 4; as shown in the figure, the light source is a plurality of LED beads 8 evenly arranged along the outer edge of the circuit board 5, and the LED beads 8 correspond to the light guide portion of the light guide ring 4.

[0034] In this embodiment, the LED bead 8 is a tri-color LED bead, and the system also includes a lighting control component, comprising:

[0035] Speed ​​detection unit, used to detect vehicle speed parameters;

[0036] The control unit receives vehicle speed parameters from the speed detection unit and controls the emission color of the tri-color LED beads according to the vehicle speed parameters. As shown in the figure, the LED beads serving as the light source are tri-color LED beads, which are composed of small LED beads of red, green, and blue colors. Color mixing is achieved through a color model, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The control unit also includes a lighting control component, which includes a speed detection unit and a control unit. The speed detection unit is used to detect vehicle speed parameters, and the control unit can receive the vehicle speed parameters from the speed detection unit and control the emission color of the tri-color LED beads according to the vehicle speed parameters. When the vehicle speed is relatively slow, the control unit controls the tri-color LED beads to emit blue light according to the vehicle speed. When the vehicle speed gradually increases to a moderate level, the control unit controls the tri-color LED beads to gradually change from blue light to green light according to the vehicle speed. When the vehicle speed further increases to a high speed, the control unit controls the tri-color LED beads to gradually change from green light to red light according to the vehicle speed. The color change of the tri-color LED beads according to the vehicle speed can also be a gradient process of other colors, which will not be described in detail here.

[0037] In this embodiment, the lighting control component further includes a photosensitive sensor 7, used to sense the intensity of ambient light and control the display brightness of the display screen 2 and the on / off state of the LED beads 8. As shown in the figure, the lighting control component further includes a photosensitive sensor 7, used to sense the intensity of ambient light and control the display brightness of the display screen 2 and the on / off state of the LED beads 8. When the ambient light is strong, the display brightness of the display screen 2 is increased and the LED beads 8 are turned off. When the ambient light is weak, the display brightness of the display screen 2 is decreased and the LED beads 8 are turned on. At the same time, in order to meet the photosensitive sensor 7's need for sensing ambient light, an opening for light entry is provided at the corresponding position of the display screen 2, and ambient light can shine through the opening to the photosensitive sensor 7's sensing position.

[0038] A motorcycle is equipped with an instrument panel with ambient lighting as described above. The instrument panel is illuminated by a light guide ring 4 surrounding the instrument panel and the light changes color according to the vehicle speed. This effectively improves the visibility of the instrument panel and allows the rider to perceive speed changes in a timely and accurate manner during high-speed riding or in complex road conditions, thereby reducing riding risks.
