Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

 a) Field of the invention

The present invention relates to a top-mounted reflection plate, in particular a reflection plate of a head-up display device, which can be easily adjusted for aligning the reflection plate, with an upper end of this reflection plate is attached to a windshield in a vehicle to reduce shocks, so that a user can easily adjust the orientation of the reflection plate in order to adjust it to an optimum viewing angle and thus improve driving safety.

b) State of the art

The head-up display was originally developed for aviation. With the head-up display, messages are projected directly in front of the cockpit so that pilots can practically receive and read the messages they want without having to lower their heads to check and read the messages on the dashboard. The pilots can easily combine the messages displayed on the head-up display device with the outside environment. Since the eye-reflected image and the center axis of the aircraft are balanced, the pilot's size can not cause any error in pitch angles or vision. Therefore, the purpose of the head-up display is that the pilots must always be able to maintain their upright head postures and not have to lower their heads to read and check the messages displayed on the dashboard so that they always keep their attention to the rapidly changing ones Maintain circumstances of the external environment and barely lower their head and lift it again. This also avoids delays and discomfort due to the continuous adjustment of the focus of the eyes.

One of the main causes of traffic accidents is that the driver's vision and attention are distracted when driving off the road. In order to avoid such traffic accidents as much as possible and to keep the duration during which the driver does not pay attention to the road as short as possible, were installed in luxury sedans from the manufacturers head-up display devices. The driver of these vehicles are then displayed the information such as driving and engine speed, without having to distract his attention from the windshield and therefore the safety while driving is much better guaranteed.

In general driving conditions, the shortest time to divert the line of sight from the road ahead of you to the dashboard on which the information is displayed is 0.5 seconds. At 100 km / h on a highway, the vehicle will travel 30 meters per second, dramatically increasing the risk of denser traffic. For safety reasons, automakers may equip some vehicles with the head-up display device to avoid distraction of the handlebars as much as possible, and the head-up display device is also used for marketing to attract the attention of potential buyers.

The technique of head-up display devices used in vehicles compared to the head-up display devices that the aircraft are equipped with is less complicated. It is a type of optical system that generally consists of two major components, i. a projector and a combiner. The projector consists of signal light sources, a projection lens and other optical components. The projector's signal light source consists of LCD monitors or VDUs. The light is emitted from the signal light source and projected with the projector to the combiner on the glass (or on the special transparent screen), with the combiner words or images are displayed.

In recent years, numerous head-up display devices for installation in a vehicle are available on the market. These head-up displays simply display the driving and engine speed, then the water temperature, throttle position, fuel level, overspeed warning, rear view, and battery voltage, even combining the speed radar. Some of the products are quick to install, with only the vehicle battery being installed without the use of additional cables. In luxury sedans, in addition to the information on the navigation system, the distance from the front and rear of the vehicle displayed on the head-up display devices, which further improves the practicality and safety for the driver. In addition, various types of head-up displays are available on the market, with prices ranging from a few hundred dollars for those with simple functions to ten thousand dollars for those with good quality and a comprehensive versatility.

• 1. Für den Sekundärmarkt reicht der Platz auf dem Armaturenbrett zum Installieren des Head-Up-Anzeigegeräts nicht aus, da der Umfang, der für den Lichtweg benötigt wird, zu gross ist und dies die Sichtlinie des Fahrers behindern würde.
• 2. Zum Lösen des Problems des großen Volumens, das der Lichtweg benötigt, besteht eine andere Methode in der Anwendung einer anderen Weise für diesen Aufbau, d.h das Anzeigegerät wird an einen oberen Teil der Windschutzscheibe und die Reflexionsplatte am Armaturenbrett befestigt. In manchen Fahrzeugen wird das Armaturenbrett jedoch beim Betrieb des Motors oder eines Kompressors des Klimageräts erschüttert, so dass durch dieses Erschüttern die oben befestigte Reflexionsplatte mit erschüttert wird. Die durch die Erschütterungen verursachte Verschiebung wird wegen dem Vergrößerungseffekt des Konkavspiegels weiter vergrößert, was zu einem starken Erschüttern des Anzeigegeräts führt.
• 3. In vergangener Zeit wurden Head-Up-Anzeigegräte in Fahrzeugen installiert. Ungeachtet ob diese ursprünglich oder extern installiert sind, tauchen bei der Verwendung Probleme auf. Obwohl in den oben zitierten Referenzen der Nachteil, dass der Lichtweg zu gross ist, bereits bei manchen von ihnen gelöst wurde, werden dabei das Justieren des Sichtwinkels und das Beibehalten der Stabilität der Reflexionsplatte der Head-Up-Anzeigegeräte allgemein nicht berücksichtigt. Selbst wenn in manchen der zitierten Referenzen den justierbaren Aufbau bereits beschrieben ist, ist dieser Aufbau kompliziert und besteht aus einer Vielzahl von Bauteilen, wobei das Problem des Erschütterns nicht leicht gelöst werden konnte, da die Reflexionsplatten über keine stabilen und effektiven Träger verfügen, was den Sichteffekt der Anzeigegeräte für den Benutzer direkt beeinträchtigen kann.

In the references cited above, the features of this head-up display device have already been described, but still the following disadvantages persist:

• 1. For the secondary market, the space on the dashboard for installing the head-up display device is insufficient because the circumference required for the light path is too large and would hinder the line of sight of the driver.
• 2. To solve the problem of large volume required by the light path, another method is to use another way for this structure, that is, the display device is attached to an upper part of the windshield and the reflection plate on the instrument panel. In some vehicles, however, the dashboard is shaken during operation of the engine or a compressor of the air conditioner, so that by this shaking the top mounted reflection plate is shaken with. The displacement caused by the shocks is further increased due to the magnification effect of the concave mirror, resulting in a strong shock of the display device.
• 3. In the past, head-up display devices have been installed in vehicles. Regardless of whether they are installed originally or externally, problems arise in use. Although in the references cited above, the disadvantage that the optical path is too large, has already been solved in some of them, the adjustment of the viewing angle and the maintenance of the stability of the reflection plate of the head-up display devices are generally not considered. Even if in some of the cited references the adjustable structure is already described, this structure is complicated and consists of a plurality of components, wherein the problem of shaking could not be easily solved because the reflection plates have no stable and effective support, which Visual effect of the display devices for the user can directly affect.
