[0009] Hereinafter, specific embodiments to which the present invention is applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. In addition, the following description and drawings have been simplified as appropriate for clarity of explanation.

[0010] Embodiment 1 <In-vehicle equipment> An in-vehicle device according to a first embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 4. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing an in-vehicle device according to the first embodiment. Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the in-vehicle device according to the first embodiment. Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view of a main part of the in-vehicle device according to the first embodiment. Fig. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the device main body according to the first embodiment.

[0011] It should be understood that the right-handed XYZ coordinate system shown in Figure 1 and other drawings is for the convenience of explaining the positional relationships of the components. Normally, the positive Z-axis direction is vertically upward, and the XY plane is a horizontal plane, which is common to all drawings. Normally, the positive X-axis direction is forward, and the positive Y-axis direction is leftward.

[0012] As shown in Fig. 1, the in-vehicle device 100 includes a device main body 10, a display 20, and a hinge 30. The device main body 10 can be disposed, for example, in the interior of a vehicle (not shown) located in front of the driver's seat. The interior can be, for example, a console panel, an instrument panel, a dash panel, a dashboard, etc. The display 20 faces the driver's seat.

[0013] The display 20 according to this embodiment is movable in the front-rear direction (here, the X-axis direction) and the left-right direction (here, the Y-axis direction) relative to the device body 10, and is also rotatable. Specifically, the display 20 is rotatably supported on the device body 10 via a hinge 30. The display 20 can be rotated around an axis extending in the left-right direction. The display 20 can be moved in the left-right direction relative to the device body 10 by changing the position at which the hinge 30 is attached to the device body 10, as will be described later. The display 20 is moved and rotated so that the display 20 rests at a predetermined position and a predetermined angle relative to the device body 10, to suit the preferences of the vehicle occupant.

[0014] The display 20 may be a flat panel display such as a liquid crystal monitor or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) monitor. The display 20 includes a display unit 21 and a housing 22. The display unit 21 is provided on the front of the housing 22 and faces the driver's seat of the vehicle (not shown). The display unit 21 can display images that can be viewed from the driver's seat of the vehicle. The display 20 includes members 22a and 22b provided on the back of the housing 22.

[0015] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , the hinge 30 includes a plate 31 and arms 32a and 32b. The arm 32a is rotatably supported on one end of the plate 31. The arm 32b is rotatably supported on the other end of the plate 31. The arm 32a is fastened to the member 22a by a bolt 34. The arm 32b is fastened to the member 22b by a bolt 34. This fastening allows the hinge 30 to be mechanically connected to the display 20. The plate 31 and cover 5 of the hinge 30 are fastened to the second bracket 4 of the device body 10 shown in FIG. 4 by a male screw 33. This allows the device body 10 and the hinge 30 to be mechanically connected. As described above, the display 20 is rotatably supported on the device body 10 via the hinge 30. The hinge 30 is preferably formed by sheet metal processing. The hinge 30 is preferably made of steel.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 4, the device main body 10 includes a chassis 1, a bottom plate 2, a first bracket 3, a second bracket 4, a cover 5, a panel 6, and a cable 7.

[0017] The chassis 1 is a plate-like body whose cross section is bent into a U-shape. The bottom plate 2 and the chassis 1 are integrated by bolting them together. The integrated bottom plate 2 and chassis 1 form a roughly rectangular parallelepiped with an opening 1a that opens forward (here, in the positive direction of the X-axis). The chassis 1 may be constructed using multiple sheet metals. The chassis 1 can house a control device, a first bracket 3, a second bracket 4, and a cover 5, all of which are not shown.

[0018] The control device is disposed inside the chassis 1. The control device is connected to the device main body 10 via a cable 7. The control device can be configured with a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit). In other words, the control device can have the functions of a computer. The control device can execute programs stored in a storage device such as an internal memory (not shown) and perform various processes. For example, the control device can acquire input and display any video or content on the display unit 21 shown in FIG. 1.

[0019] The first bracket 3 is provided on the front side of the chassis 1 relative to the control device. The first bracket 3 may be provided in the opening 1a. The first bracket 3 is fastened to the opening 1a of the chassis 1 with bolts. The first bracket 3 may be, for example, a box-shaped body having an opening that opens forward (here, in the positive direction of the X-axis). The first bracket 3 may be, for example, a metal plate having a substantially rectangular main body and four plate-like portions that extend from and are bent from the four sides of the main body.

[0020] The second bracket 4 engages with the first bracket 3. The second bracket 4 is disposed in front of the first bracket 3 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction (here, the X-axis direction). The second bracket 4 is preferably formed by sheet metal processing. The second bracket 4 is preferably made of steel. As described above, the second bracket 4, the plate 31 of the hinge 30, and the cover 5 are fastened together by the male screws 33. The hinge 30 and the display 20 are also mechanically connected. Therefore, by moving the second bracket 4, the display 20 can be moved relative to the device body 10. In other words, the second bracket 4 supports the display 20 so as to be movable relative to the device body 10.

[0021] The second bracket 4 is a box-shaped body having an opening on the first bracket 3 side. Specifically, the second bracket 4 has a front portion 4a, a right side portion 4b, a left side portion 4c, a top portion 4d, and a bottom portion 4e. The front portion 4a is substantially rectangular and faces forward. The right side portion 4b, the left side portion 4c, the top portion 4d, and the bottom portion 4e extend from the four sides of the front portion 4a. Specifically, the right side portion 4b extends from the right end of the front portion 4a. The left side portion 4c extends from the left end of the front portion 4a. The top portion 4d extends from the upper end (here, in the positive Z-axis direction) of the front portion 4a. The bottom portion 4e extends from the lower end (here, in the negative Z-axis direction) of the front portion 4a. The right side surface 4b, the left side surface 4c, the top surface 4d, and the bottom surface 4e are folded relative to the front surface 4a. The top surface 4d and the bottom surface 4e face each other. The right side surface 4b and the left side surface 4c face each other.

[0022] The front surface portion 4a has a through-hole 4f and female screws 4na, 4nb, 4nc, 4nd, 4ne, 4nf, 4ng, 4nh, and 4ni. The through-hole 4f opens toward the display 20 (here, in the positive direction of the X-axis). The through-hole 4f extends in a substantially T-shape on the front surface portion 4a. It is preferable that the width W4f of the through-hole 4f is constant. The female screws 4na to 4ni can be fastened with the male screw 33. The female screws 4na to 4ni are arranged in this order on the front surface portion 4a from the right side surface portion 4b to the left side surface portion 4c. The female screws 4na, 4nc, 4ne, 4ng, and 4ni are arranged in a line on the front surface portion 4a. The female screws 4nb, 4nd, 4nf, and 4nh are arranged in another line on the front surface portion 4a. The female screws 4nb, 4nd, 4nf, and 4nh are arranged below the female screws 4na, 4nc, 4ne, 4ng, and 4ni (here, in the negative Z-axis direction).

[0023] The cover 5 covers the second bracket 4. The cover 5 may cover the front surface 4a of the second bracket 4, portions bent by sheet metal processing, sharp portions, etc. The cover 5 may be a box-shaped body having an opening on the side facing the first bracket 3, similar to the second bracket 4. Specifically, the cover 5 may have a front surface 5a, a right side surface 5b, a left side surface 5c, a top surface 5d, and a bottom surface 5e, similar to the second bracket 4. The front surface 5a may have a protrusion 5p that can be grasped by hand. The protrusion 5p is provided on the front surface 5a. The protrusion 5p may be provided, for example, on the right side surface 5b side of the front surface 5a and on the left side surface 5c side of the front surface 5a. The protrusion 5p protrudes forward (here, in the positive direction of the X-axis) from the front surface 5a. The top surface 5d and the bottom surface 5e face each other. The right side surface portion 5b and the left side surface portion 5c face each other. It is preferable that each component of the cover 5 cover each component of the second bracket 4. Specifically, the front surface portion 5a covers the front surface portion 4a. The right side surface portion 5b covers the right side surface portion 4b. The left side surface portion 5c covers the left side surface portion 4c. The top surface portion 5d covers the top surface portion 4d. The bottom surface portion 5e covers the bottom surface portion 4e.

[0024] The front portion 5a has slits 5f, holes 5na, 5nb, 5nc, 5nd, 5ne, 5nf, 5ng, 5nh, 5ni, and stop portions 5ha, 5hb, 5hc shown in Figures 5 and 6.

[0025] The slit 5f extends in a substantially T-shape on the front portion 5a. The slit 5f communicates with the through hole 4f of the second bracket 4. The width W5f of the slit 5f is preferably constant. The width W5f is narrower than the width W4f of the through hole 4f. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the slit 5f extends in a substantially T-shape. The stop portions 5ha, 5hb, and 5hc are respectively positioned near the ends 5fa, 5fb, and 5fc of the slit 5f. The widths of the stop portions 5ha, 5hb, and 5hc are narrower than the width W5f of the slit 5f.

[0026] The holes 5na to 5ni communicate with the female screws 4na to 4ni of the second bracket 4, respectively. The holes 5na to 5ni are arranged in this order on the front surface portion 5a from the right side surface portion 5b to the left side surface portion 5c. The holes 5na, 5nc, 5ne, 5ng, and 5ni are arranged in a line on the front surface portion 5a. The holes 5nb, 5nd, 5nf, and 5nh are arranged in another line on the front surface portion 5a. The holes 5nb, 5nd, 5nf, and 5nh are arranged below the holes 5na, 5nc, 5ne, 5ng, and 5ni (here, in the negative Z-axis direction).

[0027] Furthermore, the rigidity of the cover 5 is preferably lower than that of the second bracket 4. The hardness of the cover 5 is preferably lower than that of the second bracket 4. The rigidity of the cover 5 is preferably lower than that of the hinge 30. The hardness of the cover 5 is preferably lower than that of the hinge 30. The cover 5 is made of, for example, a resin material.

[0028] The panel 6 covers the front sides of the chassis 1 and the bottom plate 2. The panel 6 holds the second bracket 4 and the cover 5 so that the second bracket 4 and the cover 5 can move in the front-to-rear direction. The panel 6 is a cylindrical body that is open at the front and rear (here, the X-axis direction). Specifically, the panel 6 has a right side surface portion 6b, a left side surface portion 6c, a top surface portion 6d, and a bottom surface portion 6e. The top surface portion 6d connects the upper (here, in the Z-axis positive direction) end of the right side surface portion 6b to the upper (here, in the Z-axis positive direction) end of the left side surface portion 6c. The bottom surface portion 6e connects the lower (here, in the Z-axis negative direction) end of the right side surface portion 6b to the lower (here, in the Z-axis negative direction) end of the left side surface portion 6c. The top surface portion 6d and the bottom surface portion 6e face each other. The right side surface portion 6b and the left side surface portion 6c face each other.

[0029] The cable 7 connects the control device disposed inside the chassis 1 to the display unit 21. The cable 7 may transmit signals for displaying desired images or content, as well as power, to the display unit 21. Specifically, the cable 7 extends from the control device to the display unit 21, passing through the through-holes 4f of the first bracket 3 and the second bracket 4 and the slit 5f of the cover 5. The cable 7 is in contact with or spaced from the inner wall surface of the slit 5f and can move within the slit 5f. For example, the cable 7 moves from the center of the slit 5f over the stop portion 5ha to the tip 5fa of the slit 5f. When a force is applied to the cable 7 in a direction returning to the center of the slit 5f, the stop portion 5ha stops the cable 7. Similarly, the cable 7 moves from the center of the slit 5f over the stop portion 5hb or the stop portion 5hc to the tip 5fb or the tip 5fc of the slit 5f. When a force is applied to the cable 7 in a direction returning to the center of the slit 5f, the stop portion 5hb or the stop portion 5hc stops the cable 7. In other words, the movement of the cable 7 toward the slit 5f is restricted. As shown in FIG. 11, the cable 7 preferably includes a core wire 7a and a coating 7b. The core wire 7a is made of an electrically conductive material. The coating 7b is electrically insulating. The coating 7b covers the outer surface of the core wire 7a and electrically insulates the core wire 7a. Note that the cable 7 may have at least one of a current wire and a signal wire instead of the core wire 7a. The cable 7 may be a multi-core cable.

[0030] <Forward / backward movement> Next, movement of the display 20 in the front-rear direction will be described with reference to Figs. 5 to 7. Figs. 5 and 6 are perspective views showing the operation of the second bracket and the like in the in-vehicle device according to embodiment 1. Fig. 7 is a side view showing the operation of the display in the in-vehicle device according to embodiment 1. For ease of understanding, the display 20 and hinge 30 are omitted from Figs. 5 and 6.

[0031] First, as shown in FIG. 5, the second bracket 4 and the cover 5 are stored in the chassis 1. The front surface 5a of the cover 5 moves to the same position as the front end 6a of the panel 6 in the front-to-rear direction of the chassis 1 (here, the X-axis direction). Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the display unit 21 of the display 20 moves to a position spaced a distance LB from the opening 1a of the chassis 1. Here, the front surface 5a of the cover 5 covers the front surface 4a of the second bracket 4. In addition, the panel 6 covers the right side surface 4b, left side surface 4c, top surface 4d, and bottom surface 4e of the second bracket 4. Therefore, the second bracket 4 is hardly exposed.

[0032] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the second bracket 4 and the cover 5 are pulled out from the chassis 1 (step ST11). The second bracket and the cover 5 may be pulled out from the chassis 1 by grasping the protrusion 5p on the front surface 5a of the cover 5 or by grasping the display 20. When pulled out, the front surface 5a of the cover 5 moves forward (here, in the positive direction of the X-axis) from the front end 6a of the panel 6 in the front-to-rear direction of the chassis 1 by a distance LF. As shown in FIG. 7, with this movement, the display unit 21 of the display 20 moves to a position spaced from the opening 1a of the chassis 1 by the sum of the distances LB and LF. Here, the front surface 5a of the cover 5 covers the front surface 4a of the second bracket 4. Similarly, the right side surface 5b covers the right side surface 4b. The left side surface 5c covers the left side surface 4c. The top surface 5d covers the top surface 4d. The bottom surface 5e covers the bottom surface 4e. Therefore, the second bracket 4 is hardly exposed.

[0033] Therefore, the display 20 can be moved forward relative to the device body 10. The display 20 can be moved forward to a position desired by a vehicle occupant. Furthermore, during this movement, the second bracket 4 is hardly exposed. Therefore, direct contact of the second bracket 4 with other components can be prevented. Furthermore, the external design of the in-vehicle device 100 can be maintained.

[0034] By pushing the second bracket 4 and the cover 5 into the inside of the chassis 1, the display 20 can be moved rearward relative to the device body 10. That is, the display 20 can be moved in the front-to-rear direction relative to the device body 10. Furthermore, in this rearward movement, as in the forward movement described above, the second bracket 4 is hardly exposed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the second bracket 4 from coming into direct contact with other components. Furthermore, the external design of the in-vehicle device 100 can be maintained.

[0035] <Move left and right> Next, movement of the display 20 in the left-right direction will be described with reference to Figs. 8 to 13. Figs. 8, 9, and 10 are front views showing the position of the bracket in the in-vehicle device according to embodiment 1. Fig. 11 is an enlarged front view showing the main part of the device main body according to embodiment 1. Figs. 12 and 13 are plan views showing the position of the display in the in-vehicle device according to embodiment 1. For ease of understanding, the display 20 has been omitted from Figs. 8 to 11. Furthermore, hatching showing the cross section of the cable 7 has been omitted as appropriate.

[0036] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, the hinge 30 is attached to the center of the device body 10. Specifically, the male screw 33 is tightened into the female screws 4nc to 4ng to fasten the hinge 30, the cover 5, and the second bracket 4. As shown in FIG. 12, the display 20 is attached near the center of the device body 10 in the left-right direction. The width of the stop portion 5ha is narrower than the width W5f of the slit 5f. As shown in FIG. 8, the stop portion 5ha has a curved surface 5j protruding from the inner wall surface 5i. When the cable 7 moves from the slit 5f to the stop portion 5ha, the curved surface 5j holds the cable 7. Therefore, the cable 7 is restricted from returning from the stop portion 5ha to the slit 5f side, preventing it from coming into contact with the hinge 30 or the second bracket 4. The curved surface 5j may be curved along a circular or elliptical arc on the front surface 5a.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 9, the hinge 30 is attached to the left side of the device body 10 (step ST21). Specifically, the male screws 33 are released from the female screws 4nc to 4ng to remove the hinge 30. The male screws 33 are tightened up into the female screws 4ne to 4ni to fasten the hinge 30, the cover 5, and the second bracket 4 together. As shown in FIG. 12, the display 20 is attached to the left side of the device body 10. This allows the display 20 to move leftward by a distance LL.

[0038] The width of the stop portion 5hc is narrower than the width W5f of the slit 5f shown in FIG. 4. The stop portion 5hc has a curved surface 5k protruding from the inner wall surface 5i. When the cable 7 moves from the stop portion 5hc along the slit 5f to the stop portion 5hc, the curved surface 5k holds the cable 7. Therefore, the cable 7 is restricted from returning from the stop portion 5hc to the slit 5f side, and is prevented from contacting the hinge 30 or the second bracket 4. The curved surface 5k may be curved along a circular or elliptical arc on the front portion 5a.

[0039] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10, the hinge 30 may be attached to the right side of the device body 10 (step ST31). Specifically, the male screws 33 are released from the female screws 4nc to 4ng to remove the hinge 30. The male screws 33 are tightened up into the female screws 4na to 4ne to fasten the hinge 30, cover 5, and second bracket 4 together. As shown in FIG. 13, the display 20 is attached to the right side of the device body 10. This allows the display 20 to move rightward by a distance LR.

[0040] The stop portion 5hb has a curved surface 5m that protrudes from the inner wall surface 5i. When the cable 7 moves from the stop portion 5hc along the slit 5f to the stop portion 5hb, the curved surface 5m holds the cable 7. This prevents the cable 7 from returning to the slit 5f side and coming into contact with the hinge 30 or the second bracket 4. The curved surface 5m may be curved along a circular or elliptical arc on the front portion 5a.

[0041] FIG. 11 shows an enlarged view of the vicinity of the stop portion 5hb in FIG. 10. The width W5h of the stop portion 5hb is preferably narrower than the width W5f of the slit 5f. The width W5h is preferably equal to or smaller than the diameter D7 of the cable 7. This strengthens the retention of the cable 7 by the curved surface 5m. The width W5h of the stop portion 5hb is preferably equal to or larger than the diameter D7a of the core wire 7a. The curved surface 5m retains the cable 7, thereby preventing excessive force from being applied to the core wire 7a. The stop portion 5ha shown in FIG. 8 and the stop portion 5hc shown in FIG. 9 may have the same configuration as the stop portion 5hb.

[0042] Therefore, the display 20 can be moved in the left-right direction relative to the device main body 10. The display 20 may be movable in the left-right direction to a position desired by a vehicle occupant.

[0043] Furthermore, the width W5f of the slit 5f of the cover 5 is narrower than the width W4f of the through hole 4f of the second bracket 4. Therefore, even if the cable 7 moves through the through hole 4f of the second bracket 4 and the slit 5f of the cover 5, it comes into contact with the inner wall surface 5i of the slit 5f of the cover 5 and stops. This prevents the cable 7 from coming into contact with the second bracket 4. This reduces the risk of damage to the cable 7.

[0044] Furthermore, the stop portions 5ha, 5hb, and 5hc according to this embodiment hold the cable 7 and prevent it from moving. Furthermore, the width W5h of the stop portion 5hb according to this embodiment is narrower than the width W5f of the slit 5f. The stop portions 5ha, 5hb, and 5hc have curved surfaces 5j, 5m, and 5k, respectively, that protrude from the inner wall surface 5i. The width W5h of the stop portion 5hb is equal to or smaller than the diameter D7 of the cable 7. The stop portions 5ha and 5hc according to this embodiment may have the same configuration as the stop portion 5hb. This strengthens the hold of the cable 7 by the stop portions 5ha, 5hb, and 5hc, and prevents the cable 7 from coming into contact with the second bracket 4. As a result, the risk of damage to the cable 7 can be further reduced.

[0045] Furthermore, the width W5h of the stopper 5hb according to this embodiment is equal to or greater than the diameter D7a of the core wire 7a. Therefore, the stopper 5hb can prevent excessive force from being applied to the core wire 7a when it holds the cable 7. This can reduce the risk of damage to the core wire 7a.

[0046] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the present invention may be implemented by appropriately combining the above-described embodiment and examples thereof. [Explanation of symbols]
