[0002] The car dashboard is a device that reflects the operating status of various vehicle systems. Common indicators include fuel gauge, washer fluid gauge, electronic throttle indicator, front and rear fog light indicators, and warning lights. The gauges on a car dashboard generally consist of a mounting cap and a pointer. To accommodate automated production, and because car gauges are precision instruments with high requirements for machining accuracy and quality, the mounting cap is prone to issues such as pointer tilting and unevenness exceeding tolerances. These problems can lead to inaccurate pointer readings, affecting the driver's judgment.

[0003] Therefore, to avoid the above situation, the instrument needle is usually tested. Common testing equipment usually has a lot of modern testing equipment. These devices are not only expensive to manufacture, but also difficult to operate, making them inconvenient for individuals or small businesses. Therefore, an automotive instrument needle testing device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

It should also be understood that the terms “comprising,” “including,” or “having,” etc., specify the presence of the stated feature, whole, step, operation, component, part, or combination thereof, but do not preclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0034] Please see Figure 3 As shown, the instrument panel 1 includes a panel body 11, the upper surface of the panel body 11 is provided with a groove, the inside of the groove is provided with a dial 12 and a pointer 13, the dial 12 is sleeved on the outside of the pointer 13, and the inside of the groove is provided with a transparent top cover 14 located above the pointer 13.

[0035] Based on the above, the body 11, the groove, the dial 12, the pointer 13, and the transparent top cover 14 are all existing structures of the instrument panel 1.

[0036] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, an automotive instrument needle detection device includes: a mounting cover 2 and a second hollow light shield 4;

[0037] The mounting cover 2 includes an observation hole 25 disposed on the upper surface of the top plate 21. The top plate 21 is disposed directly above the instrument panel 1. The mounting cover 2 includes the top plate 21. At least three limiting blocks 22 are disposed on the lower surface of the top plate 21. The three limiting blocks 22 respectively contact the three sides of the instrument panel 1.

[0038] The observation hole 25 has the same shape as the pointer 13 inside the instrument panel 1, and is located directly above the pointer 13, and is larger than the size of the pointer 13. That is, there is a gap between the outer contour of the observation hole 25 and the pointer 13 when viewed from top to bottom. The lower surface of the top plate 21 is provided with a first hollow light shield 24 located between the observation hole 25 and the pointer 13. The first hollow light shield 24 has the same shape as the pointer 13, and is larger than the size of the pointer 13.

[0039] The lower surface of the top plate 21 is provided with an annular groove 23 located directly above the internal dial 12 of the instrument panel 1, and the bottom of the annular groove 23 is provided with a bottom plate 5 corresponding to the annular groove 23.

[0040] Based on the above, the setting of the limiting block 22 can limit the top plate 21 to ensure that the top plate 21 is located directly above the instrument panel 1. The first hollow light shield 24 performs precise light shielding operation directly above the pointer 13. If the pointer 13 is installed normally, the light leaking from the gap between the first hollow light shield 24 and the pointer 13 is uniform. The setting of the observation tube 25 makes it convenient for the user to directly observe the light leakage.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown in Figure 1, the base plate 5 includes an annular plate 52. The annular plate 52 is provided with a limiting groove 51 along the inner circle of its upper surface. A second hollow light shield 4 extending to the bottom of the limiting groove 51 is provided inside the limiting groove 51.

[0042] like Figure 7 As shown, the second hollow light shield 4 includes a limiting ring 41 disposed inside the annular plate 52. The bottom end of the limiting ring 41 is provided with a hollow cover 42 that penetrates the annular plate 52 and extends to the bottom of the annular plate 52. The outer diameter of the hollow cover 42 is smaller than the inner diameter of the annular plate 52. The lower surfaces of the hollow cover 42 and the first hollow light shield 24 are tightly fitted with the upper surface of the transparent top cover 14 inside the instrument panel 1. The transparent top cover 14 is located above the instrument panel 12.

[0043] Based on the above, the base plate 5 is set on the lower surface of the top plate 21. At this time, the annular groove 23 and the limiting groove 51 cooperate with each other to fix the limiting ring 41, so that the second hollow light shield 4 is installed on the lower surface of the top plate 21. At this time, the second hollow light shield 4 makes the light reflected by the dial 12 more conspicuous. That is, when observing the pointer 13 through the observation hole 25, the second hollow light shield 4 provides a darker observation environment.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the second hollow light shield 4 is disposed on the lower surface of the top plate 21 and is closely attached to the upper surface of the instrument panel 1. The lower surface of the top plate 21 is provided with a lamp group 3 located inside the second hollow light shield 4.

[0045] The lamp assembly 3 includes a hollow ring plate 31 disposed on the lower surface of the top plate 21 and located in the inner ring of the limiting ring 41, and a lamp bead 32 is disposed on the side of the hollow ring plate 31 facing the instrument panel 1.

[0046] Based on the above, the lamp group 3 provides illumination. When the lamp bead 32 is powered on, it emits light. The light shines on the surface of the dial 12 through the transparent top cover 14 and is reflected by the dial 12, so that the light returns to the interior of the first hollow light shield 24. At this time, the reflected light provides a bright background for the pointer 13.

[0047] In summary, this detection device, by installing the mounting cover 2 above the instrument panel 1 and energizing the lamp bead 32 to generate light, emits light through the transparent top cover 14 onto the surface of the dial 12, and after being reflected by the dial 12, the light returns to the interior of the first hollow light shield 24. At this time, the reflected light provides a bright background for the pointer 13.

[0048] Users can observe the state of pointer 13 through observation hole 25. By observing the uniformity of light leakage through the gap between the first hollow light shield 24, observation hole 25 and pointer 13, users can understand whether pointer 13 is tilted. That is, if the pointer is tilted, the light leakage will be uneven. The area with less light leakage is the direction of pointer tilt. The device has a simple structure and is more suitable for individuals or small businesses with low budgets.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
