Embodiment Construction

[0039] The preferred embodiments described below are adopted for easy understanding of the present invention. Therefore, those skilled in the art should pay attention that the present invention is not unduly limited by the embodiments described below.

[0040] figure 1 (A) and figure 1 (B) shows a specific structural example (front view) of a display panel and a pointer unit of the pointer-type remaining gas gauge for a vehicle according to the present invention. exist figure 1 In (A), the display panel 4 has scale parts d0, d1, d2, d3, d4, d5, d6, d7, d8, d10, d11, d12, d13, d14, and the scale parts d0-d14 are related to the vehicle. Divide between the maximum value and the minimum value of the remaining amount (for example, fuel remaining amount, battery remaining amount, etc.). The display panel 4 preferably further includes, for example, a remaining value part f0 representing a remaining value of zero and a remaining value part f1 representing a remaining value of a fu...

Abstract

A vehicular pointer-type residual quantity meter can identify that the residual quantity is zero (empty) easily. The vehicular pointer-type residual quantity meter (4) comprises: a display panel (4) that has a scale part (d0,..., d14) which allows a driver to recognize a residual quantity, and a non-scale part (4h) that differs from the scale part; a pointer unit (3, nb, ne) that is disposed behind the display panel; a pointer driver body unit (2) that carries out a movement of the pointer unit (3, nb, ne) in a real space; and a control unit (1) that controls the pointer driver body unit in so that the pointer unit indicates one of metering regions in the scale part in replay to a current residual quantity. The control part (1) controls the pointer driver body unit (2) so that when the residual quantity decreases to zero, the pointer unit (3, nb, ne) moves from a metering region (d0) corresponding to a zero residual quantity (f0) in a direction opposite to a metering region (d1) corresponding to a residual quantity value greater than zero to the non-scale part (4h) of the display panel.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a measuring instrument in which a pointer part is moved, for example, rotated and moved in real space in order to display the remaining amount (remaining amount related to a vehicle) such as a fuel remaining amount and a battery remaining amount (a pointer type remaining amount meter for a vehicle) instrument). Background technique [0002] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a display device such as a speedometer having a pointer that rotates and moves according to the speed so that a driver of a vehicle such as an automobile can grasp the speed. In addition, the pointer is fixed on the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft rotates, and the pointer rotates in real space. Therefore, a speedometer or a display device with such a pointer is called an analog speedometer by those skilled in the art. The pointer of Patent Document 1 is brightened via a light-emitting diode, and the bright part of the pointer is elonga...
