Field of invention
[001] The present invention relates to a video display mirror for looking towards the rear of a vehicle and a video display mirror system. Background art
[002] A technology for displaying a video by combining a monitor with a rear-view mirror for an automobile is known (see Patent Literature 1 or 2).
[003] In a rear view mirror recording image during displacement described in patent literature 1, a mirror surface is installed on a front surface of an auxiliary rear view mirror, and a liquid crystal screen is installed in a hidden mode so as not to influence a mirror function on the mirror surface at one end of the mirror surface. On a surface opposite the auxiliary rear-view mirror, a camera can be fixed to photo-graph an image in front during displacement by arbitrarily adjusting an angle. The displacement image photographed by this camera is reproduced again on the liquid crystal display.
[004] In Patent Literature 2, a reflective lens capable of transmitting light is provided inside a rearview mirror housing for an automobile, a liquid crystal display screen is attached to a rear edge of that reflective lens, and a wide-angle infrared micro video camera is provided in an appropriate position on a peripheral edge of the housing. When an automobile operation is normalized, the liquid crystal display screen is placed in a non-display state, and no light is emitted on a rear surface of the reflective lens so that the reflective lens reflects a rear image as a traditional rear view mirror. If a video image photographed by the video camera is displayed on the liquid crystal display screen, light from the small video image on the reflective lens capable of transmitting light, and a real video image on the rear is displayed on the lens reflective and offered for direct vision by a driver.

[031] The modalities of the present invention will be described below by referring to the attached drawings. In descriptions of the drawings, the same reference numerals are given to the same portions, and the explanation will be omitted. First modality
[032] By referring to figure 1, the configurations of a video display mirror and a video display mirror system according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. The video display mirror system has an internal mirror 11 provided inside a cabin, an ECU (engine control unit) 12 having a role as a video controller, cameras (13a, 13b) mounted on a vehicle and photographing a video image around the vehicle, and a battery 16 to supply DC power to the internal mirror 11, the ECU 12, and the cameras (13a, 13b). In the modality, such as the camera to photograph a video image around the vehicle, a rear view camera 13a to photograph a rear view to check a vehicle that follows in an anterior view camera 13b to imagine an anterior view to detect an obstacle when the vehicle pulls back will be described as an example.
[033] For each of the internal mirror 11, the ECU 12, the rear view camera 13a, and the front view camera 13b, wiring to supply DC power from the battery 16 is connected. In the wiring connected to the internal mirror 11 and the rear view camera 13a, a contact switch 23a is provided. In the wiring connected to the front view camera 13b, a reverse position switch 15 is provided. The reverse position switch 15 is a closed switch if a vehicle-mounted transmission is in a reverse position and open in the case other than the reverse position.
[034] The internal mirror 11 includes a half mirror 21 used so that a passenger of the vehicle can look towards the rear of the vehicle, a monitor 22 to display a video image imaged by at least one of the rear view camera 13a and the front view camera 13b, and a locking mechanism 23 for locking with display of the video image on the monitor 22 and changing an angle of a reflective surface of the half mirror 21 from a position of the half mirror 21 when looking at the rear of the vehicle.
[035] By closing contact switch 23a, the rear view camera 13a is started, and photography is started. By closing the reverse position switch 15, the front view camera 13b is started, and photography is started. Rear view camera 13a and front view camera 13b transmit video data photographed as a video signal to ECU 12. In the first embodiment, ECU 12 does not transmit a control signal to control the start of the cameras, that is, the rear view camera 13a and the front view camera 13b.
[036] ECU 12 transfers a rear view video signal transferred from the rear view camera 13a to the internal mirror 11 and transfers an anterior view video signal transferred from the front view camera 13b to the internal mirror 11. If the rear view video signal and front view video signal are transmitted from rear view camera 13a and front view camera 13b to ECU 12 at the same time, ECU 12 preferably transfers the front view video to the internal mirror 11. ECU 12 does not have to transfer the rear view video signal when transferring the front view video signal.
[037] The internal mirror 11 displays a video image based on a video signal transferred from the ECU on monitor 22. The internal mirror 11 can preferably display the previous view if the rear view video signal and the signal video from previous view are transmitted at the same time. As a result, ECU 12 can switch the type of video image to be displayed on monitor 22 depending on whether the vehicle-mounted transmission is in the reverse position or not. In addition, ECU 12 can display the front view on monitor 22 to detect an obstacle when the vehicle pulls back if the vehicle-mounted transmission is in the reverse position and can display the rear view on monitor 22 to check the vehicle that follows if the trans -Mission mounted on the vehicle is not in the reverse position. It goes without saying that the type of the video image can be switched by the operation of the passenger or the rear view and the previous view can be displayed on monitor 22 at the same time by dividing the display screen of monitor 22 into two or more parts.
[038] By referring to figure 2, an example of mounting the video display mirror system in figure 1 on the vehicle will be described. Like a camera for photographing the periphery of a vehicle 25, the rear view camera 13a for photographing an RV rear view to check the vehicle that follows and a front view camera 13b for photographing a BV front view to detect an obstacle when the vehicle 25 recedes are mounted. In the cabin, the internal mirror 11 for a passenger 26a or a passenger 26b of the vehicle 25 to check a rear view of the vehicle 25 is provided. An FD arrow in figure 2 indicates a direction of travel for vehicle 25. As a camera for photographing the periphery of vehicle 25, unlike cameras 13a and 13b, a front camera or a side camera for photographing a blind spot in front or side of vehicle can be used, for example.
[039] By referring to figure 3, an example of specific configuration of the internal mirror 11 will be described. In figure 3, for ease of explanation, the main constituent elements of the internal mirror 11 are shown in a separate state, however the internal mirror 11 is assembled by stacking the main constituent elements in the direction indicated by the arrow FD.
[040] The internal mirror 11 is provided with the half mirror 21 to reflect a part of incident light and transmit a part of it, the monitor 22 arranged in the position in front of the FD vehicle next to the half mirror 21, the housing 41 to accommodate mirror half 21 and monitor 22, and a frame-shaped cover 42 welded to housing 41.
[041] Within housing 41, backrest ribs on monitor 51a, 51b and 51c against which a rear surface (a surface directed in the direction of travel FD) of the monitor 22 slopes and backrest ribs on mirror 52a and 52b against which a rear surface (a surface directed to the direction of travel FD) of the slope half mirror 21 is provided. In a central part, there is housing 41, a support 43 and a lever switch 44 for changing an angle of the internal mirror 11 are provided. Figure 3 shows only the back ribs 51a, 51b, 51c, 52a and 52b arranged on one side in a vehicle width direction from the support 43, however the back ribs 51a, 51b, 51c, 52a, and 52b they are similarly arranged on the other side in the width direction of the vehicle from the support 43.
[042] In an external peripheral portion of monitor 22, notch portions 53a and 53b are formed in positions corresponding to the mirror back ribs 52a and 52b, respectively. The notch portions 53a and 53b penetrate the mirror back ribs 52a and 52b, the rear surface of the monitor 22 abuts the monitor back ribs 51a, 51b, and 51c, and the rear surface of the monitor 22 and the back ribs. monitor backrest 51a, 51b and 51c are connected using adhesive or double-sided tape. As a result, monitor 22 is fixed at a predetermined angle to housing 41, determined by monitor back ribs 51 a, 51 b and 51 c.
[043] The rear surface of the mirror half 21 abuts at the tip ends of the mirror stop ribs 52a and 52b, and a front surface (a surface opposite the direction of travel FD) of the mirror half 21 is placed in contact with the cover 42. The mirror half 21 is fitted between the mirror stop ribs 52a and 52b and the cover 42, and by welding the cover 42 to the housing 41, the mirror half 21 is fixed at a predetermined angle with respect to the housing 41 , different from monitor 22.
[044] The support 43 has a plate format in which a normal line of its front / rear surface is directed in the direction of travel FD, and a pair of rotary axes 56 project in the vehicle width direction from the two surfaces. sides of an upper part of the support 43. Within the housing 51, rotation guide portions 54a and 54b are formed. The pair of rotary axes 56 is pivotally supported with respect to the housing 41 by the rotation guide portions 54a and 54b, respectively. In a lower part of the support 43, a support 43b for pivoting a rotary axis 57 of the lever switch 44 which will be described later is formed.
[045] Lever switch 44 has a lever portion 44b offered for passenger operation 26a, the contact extension material portion 44a forming the contact switch 23a in figure 1, and a portion of shaft extension material of rotation 44c forming the axis of rotation 57 of the aforementioned wing switch 44. At a tip end of the portion of rotation shaft extension material 44c, the axis of rotation 57 with respect to the support 43 is formed. The axis of rotation 57 is rotatably supported by the support 43b of the support 43. From both side surfaces of the rotating axis extension material portion 44c, the pair of rotary axes 58 with respect to the housing 41 protrudes in the direction of vehicle width. In housing 41, the rotation guide portions 55a and 55b are formed. The pair of rotation axes 58 is rotatably supported with respect to the housing 41 by the rotation guide portions 55a and 55b, respectively. The bearings of the rotation guide portions 55a and 55b are formed larger than the pair of rotary axes 58 so that the pair of rotary axes 58 can move in parallel in the bearings of the rotation guide portions 55a and 55b.
[046] As shown in figure 4, in a cross section AA in figure 3, the notch portions 53a and 53b of monitor 22 penetrate the mirror back ribs 52a and 52b, and the rear surface of monitor 22 is brought into contact with monitor back ribs 51a, 51b and 51c. the mirror half 21 is fitted between the tip ends of the mirror stop ribs 52a and 52b and the cover 42, and by welding the cover 42 of the housing 41, the mirror half 21 is fixed to the housing 41. As illustrated in figure 4 , monitor 22 is installed in a position in front of the vehicle close to mirror half 21. Mirror half 21 and monitor 22 are fixed at different predetermined angles with respect to housing 41. That is, mirror half 21 and monitor 22 are arranged with a slope. Specifically, a reflective surface (front surface) of the half mirror 21 is angled higher than a display surface (rear surface) of the monitor 22.
[047] By referring to figure 5 (a) and figure 5 (b), a movement of the internal mirror 11 and on / off control of the contact switch by an operation of the lever switch 44 will be described. Figure 5 (a) and figure 5 (b) are seen in section along a cross section B-B in figure 3. The support 43 is connected to a vehicle joint portion BS through a ball joint BJ. The vehicle joint portion BS is fixed in the proximity of a center to an upper part of a front window of the vehicle 25, for example.
[048] Figure 5 (a) illustrates an internal mirror position 11 when the passenger 26a looks towards the rear view reflected by the half mirror 21. In a state illustrated in figure 5 (a), the rear view of the vehicle 25 with relative to passenger 26a of vehicle 25 is projected towards the half mirror 21 and the video image is not displayed on the monitor 22. Thus, since the interior of the internal mirror 11 is dark, and the exterior is in a bright state, passenger 26a of vehicle 25 can easily check the rear of the vehicle through the mirror 21.
[049] Passenger 26a of vehicle 25 operates lever switch 44 in figure 5 (a) for a direction HD1 opposite the direction of travel of vehicle FD. Next, the lever switch 44 rotates with respect to the housing 41 around the pair of rotary axes 58. At the same time, the lever switch 44 also rotates with respect to the support 43 around the rotary axis 57, and the support 43 rotates with respect to housing 41 around a rotating axis 56. As indicated by a reference character CP1 in figure 5 (b), if a portion of contact extension material 44a of lever switch 44 is brought into contact with a lower end portion 43a of the support 43, whereby each rotation operation described above is stopped, and at the same time the contact switch 23a formed in the lower end portion 43a of the support 43 is closed. By closing contact switch 23a, a video image is displayed on monitor 22.
[050] Figure 5 (b) shows a state in which the rotation operation mentioned above is stopped and also illustrates a position of the internal mirror 11 when the video image is displayed on the monitor 22. Before and after the rotation operation, housing angles 41, the mirror half 21, and the monitor 22 are changed upwards similarly. On the other hand, the support 43, the ball joint BJ, and the vehicle joint portion BS do not move before and after the rotation operation.
[051] As described above, the locking mechanism 23 provided in the internal mirror 11 is a manual locking mechanism including the contact switch 23a switched on / off according to the angle of the half mirror 21 and the lever switch 44 for perform on / off control of contact switch 23a by changing the angle of the internal mirror 11. As a result, the locking mechanism 23 can change the angle of the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 from the position of the half mirror 21 when looking the rear of the vehicle by locking with a video image displayed on the monitor 22. If the passenger 26a pulls forward the lever switch 44 in figure 5 (a), the housing 41, the mirror half 21, and the monitor 22 tilt upwards by an articulation structure. In addition, by closing the contact switch 23a, cameras 13a and 13b and monitor 22 are started, and a video image is displayed on monitor 22. At that moment, the mirror half 21 is directed upwards in order to avoid a double image for eliminating reflection.
[052] Referring to figure 6, a configuration of the contact switch 23a formed in the lower extreme portion 43a of the support 43 will be described. The contact switch 23a includes two fixed contacts 61a and 61b arranged separately and a movable contact 62 supported by the lower end portion 43a of the support 43 through a spring 63. In the state of figure 5 (a), since the material portion the contact extension 44a of the lever switch 44 is located away from the lower end portion 43a of the support 43, the mobile contact 62 does not contact the fixed contacts 61a and 61b and the contact switch 23a is in an off state. In the state of figure 5 (b), since the contact extension material portion 44a of the lever switch 44 is brought into contact with the lower end portion 43a of the support 43, the lower end portion 43a of the support 43 presses the moving contact 62, and the moving contact 62 is brought into contact with the fixed contacts 61a and 61b. In this way, the contact switch 23a is placed in an on state.
[053] As illustrated in figure 7 (a), in the state of figure 5 (a), since an eye line extended from a passenger EY eye 26a is directed to the rear view BD, the rear view of the vehicle 25 is designed for the half mirror 21 with respect to passenger 26a of vehicle 25, and a quantity of light reflected by the half mirror 21 towards passenger 26a of vehicle 25 becomes large in that state. In the state of figure 5 (a), once the contact switch 23a is opened, no video image is displayed on monitor 22, and monitor 22 appears dark. In this way, since the interior of the inner mirror 11 is dark and the exterior is clear, the passenger 26a of the vehicle 25 can easily check the rear view through the half mirror 21.
[054] On the other hand, as illustrated in figure 7 (b), in the state of figure 5 (b), since the housing 41, the mirror half 21, and the monitor 22 are directed upwards, the eye line extended from the passenger EY eye 26a is directed to an RD roof direction in the cabin. In this way, the amount of light reflected by the mirror medium 21 towards the passenger 26a of the vehicle 25 decreases in comparison with the state of figure 5 (a). in the state of figure 5 (b), once the contact switch 23a is closed, a video image is displayed on the monitor 22. Thus, once a state in which the interior of the internal mirror 11 is clear and the The exterior is dark, the passenger 26a of the vehicle 25 is no longer bothered by the light reflected by the mirror 21, and the visibility of the video image displayed on the monitor 22 is improved. As a result, an amount of light from the monitor 22 can be kept lower than an existing technology.
[055] As illustrated in figure 8, in the state of figure 5 (b), locking with the video image display on monitor 22, the display surface of monitor 22 can be directed to passenger 26a of vehicle 25. As a result, the visibility of the video image displayed on monitor 22 can be further improved. For example, it is only necessary to orient the display surface of the monitor 22 perpendicularly to the passenger 26a of the vehicle 25. Since an angle of the display surface of the monitor 22 that improves the visibility of the video image is different depending on the characteristics of the monitor 22, the perpendicular orientation is not limiting, and the display surface can be directed at an angle at which the visibility of the video image is enhanced.
[056] In addition, the mirror half 21 and the monitor 22 can be fixed in mutual relationship in a state in which the display surface of the monitor 22 is directed towards the passenger 26a of the vehicle 25, and the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 it is directed in a higher direction (the roof direction RD, for example) than an angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle. The locking mechanism 23 can direct the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 in the direction higher than the angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle and at the same time, it can direct the display surface of the monitor 22 towards the passenger. of the vehicle by changing the angles of the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 and the display surface of the monitor 22 at the same time. In this way, the angle control of the half mirror 21 and monitor 22 by the locking mechanism 23 is made easy.
[057] Alternatively, the mirror half 21 and the monitor 22 can be fixed together in a state in which the display surface of the monitor 22 is directed towards the passenger 26a of the vehicle 25, and the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 is directed to a lower direction (a floor direction, for example) than the angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle. In this case, the locking mechanism 23 can orient the reflective surface of the mirror half 21 in the direction lower than the angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle and at the same time, it can direct the display surface of the monitor 22 towards the passenger of the vehicle by changing the angles of the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 and display surface of the monitor 22 to the bottom direction at the same time. For example, the state illustrated in figure 5 (a) and the state illustrated in figure 5 (b) can be changed in practice.
[058] By referring to figure 9, an example of operation of the video display mirror system according to the first modality will be described. First, if the ignition is in the off state (OFF in S01), the internal mirror 11 is used as a normal mirror in the state shown in figure 5 (a) (S05). That is, a video image is not displayed on monitor 22, and the rear view of vehicle 25 is reflected by mirror means 21 for passenger 26a of vehicle 25.
[059] If the ignition is in the on state (ON in S01), the process proceeds to step S03, and if the lever switch 44 is in the state illustrated in figure 5 (a) that is, in a state in which the contact switch 23a is open (OFF in S03), the process proceeds to step S21. Next, if the transmission is in the reverse position (YES at S21), the reverse position switch 15 is closed, and DC power is supplied to the motor 22 with the rear view camera 13b. The previous BV view is displayed on monitor 22 (S23). Subsequently, if the transmission provided in vehicle 25 leaves the reverse position (S25), the reverse position switch 15 is opened, the DC power supply to monitor 22 and front view camera 13b is stopped, and a video image does not is displayed on monitor 22 (S27). Subsequently, the internal mirror 11 is used as the normal mirror (S29).
[060] On the other hand, if the passenger 26a operates the lever switch 44 and places the internal mirror 11 in the state illustrated in figure 5 (b) (ON in S03), the contact switch 23a is closed, and the DC power is provided to monitor 22 and rear view camera 13a. As a result, the RV rear view is displayed on monitor 22 (S07). Subsequently, if the transmission comes to the reverse position (YES in S09), the reverse position switch 15 is closed, and DC power is also supplied to the front view camera 13b. Next, a rear video image signal and a front view video image signal are transmitted from rear view camera 13a and front view camera 13b to ECU 12 at the same time, and thus the ECU 12 preferably transfers the video image signal from the previous view to the internal mirror 11. In this way, the video image displayed on the monitor 22 is changed from the rear view RV to the previous view BV (S11). Subsequently, if the transmission leaves the reversed position (S13), the inverted position switch 15 is opened, and the DC power supply to the front view camera 13b is stopped. In this way, the video image displayed on monitor 22 is changed from the previous view BV to the rear view RV (S15). On the other hand, in S09, if the transmission is in a different position than the reverse position (NOT in S09), with the internal mirror 11 in the state illustrated in figure 5 (b), the rear view RV is displayed on monitor 22. Subsequently , if the passenger 26a operates the lever switch 44 and returns the internal mirror 11 to the state illustrated in figure 5 (a) (S17), the contact switch 23a is opened, and supply of DC power to the monitor 22 and a rear view camera 13a is stopped. Subsequently, the internal mirror 11 is used as a normal mirror (S29).
[061] As described above, according to the first modality, the following operating effects can be obtained.
[062] Locking as a display of the video image (BV RV) on the monitor 22, an angle of the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 is changed from the position of the half mirror 21 when looking at the rear of the vehicle. As a result, the amount of light from the rear of the vehicle reflected by the mirror means 21 towards passengers 26a and 26b of vehicle 25 decreases. In this way, the discomfort that passengers 26a and 26b of vehicle 25 feel due to the light reflected by the mirror medium 21 decreases, and the visibility of the video image (BV, RV) displayed on the monitor 22 is improved. In this way, the amount of light from the monitor 22 can be kept lower than the existing technology.
[063] The locking mechanism 23 locks with the display of the video image (BV, RV) on the monitor 22 and guides the display surface of the monitor 22 towards the passengers 26a and 26b of the vehicle 25 so that the visibility of the image video displayed on monitor 22 is further enhanced.
[064] The mirror half 21 and the monitor 22 are fixed together in a state in which the display surface of the monitor 22 is oriented towards passengers 26a and 26b of the vehicle 26, and the reflective surface of the mirror half 21 is oriented to the upper or lower direction than the angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle. The locking mechanism 23 directs the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 to the upper or lower direction than the angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle and can orient the display surface of the monitor 22 towards passengers 26a and 26b vehicle 25. In this way, the angle control of the half mirror 21 and monitor 22 by the locking mechanism 23 is made easier.
[065] ECU 12 changes the type of video image (BV, RV) to be displayed on monitor 22 depending on whether the transmission mounted on vehicle 25 is in the reverse position or not. As a result, the optimal video image (BV, RV) can be displayed according to a shift position of the transmission.
[066] ECU 12 displays the front view BV to detect an obstacle when vehicle 25 pulls back if the transmission mounted on vehicle 25 is in the reverse position and displays the rear view RV to check the vehicle that follows on monitor 22 if the transmission mounted on vehicle 25 is not in the reverse position. As a result, the rear video image in the vicinity of the vehicle can be displayed when the vehicle 25 recedes, while the video image in a wider range at the rear of the vehicle can be displayed in the case other than this.
[067] Locking mechanism 23 includes contact switch 23a switched on / off according to the angle of the half mirror 21, and controls display and non-display of the video image (BV, RV) according to on / off contact switch 23a. As a result, since the locking mechanism 23 can be mechanically constituted, the reliability of the locking mechanism 23 is improved.
[068] When the transmission provided in vehicle 25 is in the reverse position, independent of the open / closed contact switch 23a, the locking mechanism 23 locks with the display of the previous view BV on the monitor 22 and can change the angle of the middle mirror 21 from the position of the middle mirror 21 when looking at the rear of the vehicle. When vehicle 25 recedes, the visibility of the video image of the rear of the vehicle displayed on monitor 22 is improved.
[069] The support 43 is fixed to the vehicle 25, the half mirror 21 and the monitor 22 are fixed to the housing 41 at different angles, and the locking mechanism 23 changes the angles of the housing 41, the half mirror 21, and the monitor 22 with respect to the support 43. As a result, the reflective surface of the mirror half 21 can be directed in the upper or lower direction than the angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle and at the same time, the display surface of the vehicle. monitor 22 can be aimed at passengers 26a and 26b of the vehicle. In this way, the angle control of the half mirror 21 and monitor 22 by the locking mechanism 23 is made easier. Modified example
[070] In the example of configuring the video display mirror system according to the first modality, the contact switch 23a and the reverse position switch 15 are arranged in the wiring to supply DC power from battery 16. In a modified example of the first modality, as illustrated in figure 10, the two terminals of contact switch 23a are directly connected to ECU 12, and a signal indicating a state of contact switch 23a is transmitted to ECU 12. Instead of provision from the reverse position switch 15, ECU 12 receives a reverse signal RS indicating that the transmission is in the reverse position. ECU 12 transmits a camera control signal to rear view camera 13a or front view camera 13b based on a signal indicating the state of the contact co-mutator 23a and the reverse signal RS and controls the start of the camera rear view 13a or front view camera 13b. In addition, ECU 12 transmits a monitor control signal to monitor 22 based on the signal indicating the status of contact switch 23a and reverse signal RS and controls the start of monitor 22.
[071] If ECU 12 receives a signal indicating a state in which contact switch 23a is closed and does not receive the reverse signal RS, ECU 12 starts rear view camera 13a and monitor 22 and displays rear view RV on monitor 22. If ECU 12 receives a signal indicating the state in which contact switch 23a is closed and receives the reverse signal RS, ECU 12 starts front view camera 13b and monitor 22 and displays front view BV on monitor 22. If ECU 12 receives a signal indicating a state in which contact switch 23a is open, ECU 12 does not start cameras 13a and 13b and monitor 22 and does not display the video image on monitor 22. Second modality
[072] In the second embodiment, instead of the manual locking mechanism 23, the video display mirror using an electric locking mechanism and the video display mirror system will be described.
[073] Referring to figure 11, the video display mirror configurations and the video display mirror system according to the second model of the present invention will be described. An internal mirror 71 as an example of the video display mirror includes the electric locking mechanism 23. The locking mechanism 23 changes the angle of the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 by using a motor 72. In addition, on an instrument panel of vehicle 25, a switching switch 23c is provided in a position where passenger 26a can perform an operation. As shown in figure 11, the two terminals of the switching switch 23c are directly connected to ECU 12, and ECU 12 receives a signal indicating a status of switching switch 23c. ECU 12 receives the reverse signal RS indicating that the transmission is in the reverse position. ECU 12 transmits a camera control signal to the rear view camera 13a or the front view camera 13b based on the signal indicating the status of the switch switch 23c and the reverse signal RS and controls a rear view camera operation 13a or front view camera 13b. In addition, ECU 12 transmits a motor control signal to motor 72 based on the signal indicating the status of switching switch 23c and reverse signal RS and controls an operation of motor 72.
[074] If ECU 12 receives a signal indicating a state in which switching switch 23c is closed and does not receive the reverse signal RS, ECU 12 starts rear view camera 13a and monitor 22 and displays rear view RV on monitor 22. Next, ECU 12 starts engine 72 and changes the angle of the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 from the position of the half mirror 21 when looking at the rear of the vehicle. As a result, by braking with video image (VR) display on monitor 22, the angle of the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 can be changed from the position of the half mirror 21 when looking at the rear of the vehicle.
[075] If ECU 12 receives a signal indicating a state in which switch switch 23c is closed and receives the reverse signal RS, ECU 12 starts front view camera 13b and monitor 22 and displays front view BV on monitor 22. Next, ECU 12 starts engine 72 and changes the angle of the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 from the position of the half mirror 21 when looking at the rear of the vehicle. As described above, if ECU 21 receives a signal indicating a state in which switch switch 23c is closed, ECU 12 starts motor 72 and changes the angle of the reflective surface of the mirror half 21 from the middle position mirror 21 when looking at the rear of the vehicle. In addition, the video image displayed on monitor 22 is switched depending on whether the reverse signal RS is received or not.
[076] If ECU 12 receives a signal indicating a state in which switch switch 23c is open, ECU 12 does not start cameras 13a and 13b and monitor 22 and does not display the video image on monitor 22. The ECU 12 does not start the engine 72. In this way, the angle of the reflected surface of the half mirror 21 is equal to that when looking at the rear of the vehicle.
[077] By referring to figure 12 (a) and figure 12 (b), a movement of the internal mirror 71 by driving the motor 72 will be described. Figure 12 (a) and figure 12 (b) are diagrams that correspond to section views along the cross section BB in figure 3. Instead of lever switch 44, motor 72 is accommodated within housing 41. The support 43 is directly connected to the gasket portion of the RS vehicle. The motor 72 is fixed to a lower part on the rear surface (surface oriented in the direction of travel FD) of the support 43.
[078] As illustrated in figure 13, motor 72 is installed so that its axis of rotation is directed to the horizontal direction, and a gear 72a is provided on the rotating axis of motor 72. In an extreme lower portion of housing 41, an irregular portion 73 is formed so as to mesh with gear 72a. the irregular portion 73 is formed in an arc shape around the rotary axis 56.
[079] Figure 12 (a) illustrates the position of the internal mirror 11 when the passenger 26a looks towards the rear view reflected by the mirror means 21. In a state illustrated in figure 12 (a), the rear view of the vehicle 25 is designed for the mirror medium 21 for the passenger 26a of the vehicle 25, and a video image is not displayed on the monitor 22. Thus, since the interior of the internal mirror 11 is dark and the exterior is clear, the passenger 26a of the vehicle 25 can easily check the rear of the vehicle through the mirror 21.
[080] When switching switch 23c is closed by operation of passenger 26a, ECU 12 transmits a motor control signal that includes rotation angle information to motor 72. Gear 72a of motor 72 turns to the left only by the angle of rotation indicated by the motor control signal. With the rotation of the gear 72a, the irregular portion 73 moves to the right side, and the housing 41 rotates about the pivot axis 56 with respect to the support 43. The angle of rotation described above is an angle defined in advance.
[081] Figure 12 (b) shows a state in which the above described rotation operation of housing 41 is stopped and illustrates the position of the internal mirror 11 when a video image is displayed on monitor 22. Before and after the operation of rotation, the housing angles 41, the mirror half 21 and the monitor 22 shift upwards simi- larly. On the other hand, the engine 72, the support 43, and the gasket portion of the BS vehicle do not move before and after the rotation operation.
[082] As described above, locking with video image display (RV, BV) on monitor 22, the electrical locking mechanism 23 can change the angle of the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 from the position of the half mirror 21 when looking at the rear of the vehicle.
[083] Similar to the first modality, locking mechanism 23 guides the display surface of monitor 22 towards passengers 26a and 26b of vehicle 25, locking as a display of the video image (BV, RV) on monitor 22. In addition , the mirror half 21 and the monitor 22 are fixed together in a state in which the display surface of the monitor 22 is directed towards passengers 26a and 26b of the vehicle 25, and the reflective surface of the mirror half 21 is directed towards the direction upper or lower direction than the angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle.
[084] By referring to figure 14, an example of operation of the video display mirror system according to a second modality will be described. Firstly, if the ignition is in the off state (OFF in S51), the internal mirror 11 is used as a normal mirror in the state shown in figure 12 (a) (S55). That is, the video image is not displayed on monitor 22, and the rear view of vehicle 25 is reflected by mirror means 21 for passenger 26a of vehicle 25.
[085] If the ignition is in the on state (ON in S51), the process proceeds to step S52, and if switching switch 23c is in an open state (OFF in S53), the process proceeds to step S75. Then, if the transmission is in the reverse position (YES at S75), ECU 12 starts the front view camera 13b and monitor 22 and displays the BV front view on monitor 22 (S77). After starting the rear view camera 13b and monitor 22, the ECU 12 starts the engine 72 and puts the internal state 11 in a state illustrated in figure 12 (b). as a result, the reflected surface of the mirror medium 21 can be directed upwards (S79). Subsequently, if the transmitter provided in vehicle 25 leaves the reverse position (S81), ECU 132 turns off the power of monitor 22 and rear view camera 13b. thus, a video image is not displayed on monitor 22. In addition, ECU 12 starts engine 72 and returns internal mirror 11 to a state illustrated in figure 12 (a). as a result, the internal mirror 11 returns to the position of the half mirror 21 when looking at the rear of the vehicle (S83). Subsequently, the internal mirror 11 is used as a normal mirror (S85).
[086] On the other hand, if passenger 26a performs a closing operation of switch commutator 23c (ON in S53), ECU 12 starts rear view camera 13a and monitor 22 and displays rear view RV on monitor 22 Next, ECU 12 starts engine 72 and moves the internal mirror 11 to the state shown in figure 12 (b) (S57). Subsequently, if the transmission goes to the reverse position (YES in S59), the reverse RS signal is input to ECU 12, and ECU 12 turns off the power of the rear view camera 13a and starts the front view camera 13b (S61) . After the front view camera 13b is started, a video image displayed on monitor 22 is switched from the rear view RV to the front view BV (S63). Subsequently, if the transmission leaves the reverse position (S65), the ECU turns off the power of the rear view camera 13b and starts the rear view camera 13a (S67). After starting the rear view camera 13a, a video image displayed on monitor 22 is switched from the previous view BV to the rear view RV (S69).
[087] Subsequently, if passenger 26a performs an opening operation of switch commutator 23c (S71), ECU 12 turns off power to monitor 22 and rear view camera 13a, drives engine 72, and returns the internal mirror 11 to the state shown in figure 12 (a) (S73). Subsequently, the internal mirror 11 is used as a normal mirror (S85).
[088] As described above, according to the second mode, the following operating effects can be obtained.
[089] Locking with the display of a video image (BV, RV) on monitor 22, the angle of the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 is changed from the position of the half mirror 21 when looking at the rear of the vehicle. As a result, the amount of light from the rear of the vehicle reflected by the mirror means 21 towards the passengers 26a and 26b of the vehicle 25 decreases. In this way, the discomfort that passengers 26a and 26b of vehicle 25 feel due to the light reflected by the mirror medium 21 decreases, and the visibility of the video image (BV, RV) displayed on the monitor 22 is improved. In this way, the amount of light from monitor 22 can be kept lower than the existing technology.
[090] The locking mechanism 23 locks with the display of the video image (BV, RV) on the monitor 22 and guides the display surface of the monitor 22 towards the passengers 26a and 26b of the vehicle 25, and for that visibility of the image displayed on monitor 22 is further enhanced.
[091] The mirror half 21 and the monitor 22 are fixed together in a state in which the display surface of the monitor 22 is directed towards passengers 26a and 26b of the vehicle 25 and also the reflective surface of the mirror half 21 is directed towards the upper or lower direction than the angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle. The locking mechanism 23 can direct the reflective surface of the mirror medium 21 towards the upper or lower direction than the angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle and at the same time, it can direct the display surface of the monitor 22 towards passengers 26a and 26b of vehicle 25. In this way, the control of the angle of the half mirror 21 and monitor 22 by the locking mechanism 23 is made easier.
[092] ECU 12 changes the type of video image (BV, RV) to be displayed on monitor 22 depending on whether the transmission mounted on vehicle 25 is in the reverse position or not. As a result, the optimal video image (BV, RV) can be displayed according to the shift position of the transmission.
[093] If the transmission mounted on vehicle 25 is in the reverse position, ECU 12 displays the previous view BV to detect an obstacle when vehicle 25 pulls back on monitor 22. If the transmission mounted on vehicle 25 is not in the reverse position, the RV rear view to check the vehicle that follows is displayed on monitor 22. As a result, the rear video image in the vicinity of the vehicle is displayed when the vehicle 25 recedes, while the video image in a wider range at the rear of the vehicle can be displayed in the case other than that.
[094] Since the locking mechanism 23 is an electrical locking mechanism, the freedom of design time from the display timing of a video image (BV, RV) on the monitor 22 until the angle of the half mirror change, is perfected.
[095] If the transmission provided in vehicle 25 is in the reverse position, regardless of the opening / closing of switch commutator 23c, locking mechanism 23 locks with the display of the previous view BV on monitor 22 and can change the angle of half mirror 21 from the position of the half mirror 21 when looking at the rear of the vehicle. When vehicle 25 recedes, the visibility of a video image at the rear of the vehicle displayed on monitor 22 is improved.
[096] The support 43 is fixed to the vehicle 25, the half mirror 21 and the monitor 22 are fixed to the housing 41 at different angles, and the locking mechanism 23 changes the angles of the housing 41, the half mirror 21, and the monitor 22 with respect to the support 43. As a result, the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 can be directed towards the upper or lower direction than the angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle and at the same time, the display surface of the vehicle. monitor 22 can be directed at passengers 26a and 26b of vehicle 25. In this way, the angle control of the mirror half 21 and monitor 22 by the locking mechanism 23 is made easier. Third modality
[097] In the first and second modes, the internal mirror 11 in which the support 43 is fixed to the front window of the vehicle 25, and the locking mechanism 23 changes the angles of the housing 41, the half mirror 21, and the monitor 22 with with respect to support 43 is described.
[098] On the other hand, in a third embodiment, the internal mirror 11 in which the half mirror 21 and the monitor 22 are attached to a support 83, the housing 41 is fixed to the front window of the vehicle 25, and the locking mechanism 23 changes the angles of the holder 83, the mirror half 21, and the monitor 22 with respect to the housing 41 will be described.
[099] The configuration of the video display mirror system illustrated in figure 1, the mounted example of the video display mirror system in the vehicle illustrated in figure 2, and the operation example of the video display mirror system in figure 9 they are the same as those of the first modality, and the explanation will be omitted.
[0100] First, with reference to figure 15, an example of specific configuration of the internal mirror 11 will be described. In figure 15, for ease of explanation, the main constituent elements of the internal mirror 11 are illustrated in a separate state, however the internal mirror 11 is assembled by stacking the main constituent elements in the direction indicated by the arrow FD.
[0101] The internal mirror 11 includes the mirror half 21, the monitor 22 installed in the position in front of the vehicle FD next to the half mirror 21, a spacer 45 en-boxed between the half mirror 21 and the monitor 22, and the housing 41 to accommodate the mirror half 21, the spacer 45, and the monitor 22. The internal mirror 11 shown in figure 15 is not provided with the cover 42 in figure 3.
[0102] In a state in which the reflective surface of the mirror half 21 and the display surface of the monitor 22 are directed away from the direction of travel FD, the mirror half 21, the spacer 45, and the monitor 22 are superimposed and connected by an adhesive. Spacer 45 is a frame having a rectangular shape and is attached to an external frame portion of the display surface of monitor 22. In this way, you can look at the display surface of monitor 22 through spacer 45 and half a mirror. 21. In addition, since the thickness of the spacer 45 is different in the vertical direction, the direction of the reflective surface of the mirror half 21 connected through the spacer 45 and direction of the display surface of the monitor 22 are different in the vertical direction. In an example illustrated in figure 15, the thickness of the spacer 45 on a vertically lower side is greater than the thickness of the spacer 45 on a vertically upper side. In this way, the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 is directed upwards from the display surface of the monitor 22.
[0103] A surface (rear surface of the monitor 22) opposite the display surface of the monitor 22 is connected to the support 83 arranged in the housing 41. Thereby, the mirror half 21 and the monitor 22 are fixed to the support 83 at angles different from each other. In addition, a thickness of support 83 is different in the vertical direction. In the example illustrated in figure 15, the thickness of the support 83 on the vertically lower side is less than the thickness of the support 83 on the vertically upper side. If a normal line of the surface (surface oriented in the direction of the FD travel direction) of the support 83 is directed in the direction of the horizontal direction, the normal line of the rear surface (surface in a direction opposite to the FD travel direction) of the support 83 is directed downward from the horizontal direction.
[0104] From the two lateral surfaces of an upper part of the support 83, the pair of rotary axes 56 protrudes in the width direction of the vehicle. Within housing 41, rotation guide portions 54a and 54b are formed. The support 83 is pivotally supported by the pair of rotating axes 56 and the rotation guide portions 54a and 54b with respect to the housing 41. In a lower part of the support 83, also a pair of rotating axes 157 protrudes in the width vehicle. The pair of rotary axes 157 is pivotally supported by a support 83b of lever switch 44 which will be described later.
[0105] Lever switch 44 has a lever portion 44b offered for passenger operation 26a and a portion of support extension material 44d forming the above described support 83b of lever switch 44. At a tip end of the portion of support extension material 44d, the support 83b into which the pivot axis 157 of the support 43 is inserted is formed, the pivot axis 147 is pivotally supported by the support 83b of the lever switch 44. From the two side surfaces of the support extension material 44d, the pair of rotary axes 58 for housing 41 protrudes in the width direction of the vehicle. In housing 41, the rotation guide portions 55a and 55b are formed. The lever switch 44 is pivotally supported by the pair of rotary axes 58 and the rotating guide portions 55a and 55b with respect to the housing 41. The support 83b of the lever switch 44 is formed larger than the pivot axis 157 so that the pivot axis 157 of the support 83 can move in parallel on the support 83b.
[0106] As illustrated in figure 16, in a cross section CC in figure 15, the thickness of the upper part of the spacer 465 arranged between the monitor 22 and the mirror half 21 is less than the thickness of the lower part of the spacer 45. From this In this way, the display surface of the monitor 22 and the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 are fixed at different angles. Specifically, the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 is angled upwards from the display surface of the monitor 22.
[0107] Subsequently, by referring to figure 17 (a) and figure 17 (b), a movement of the internal mirror 11 by the operation of lever switch 44 and on / off control of contact switch 23a will be described. Figure 17 (a) and figure 17 (b) are seen in section along a cross-section D-D in figure 15. Housing 41 is connected to the vehicle joint portion BS through ball joint BF. The vehicle joint portion BS is fixed in the vicinity of a center in an upper part of the front window of the vehicle 25 for example.
[0108] Figure 17 (a) illustrates an internal mirror position 11 when passenger 26a looks at the rear view reflected by mirror means 21. In a state illustrated in figure 17 (a), the rear view of vehicle 25 for passenger 26a of vehicle 25 is projected towards the half mirror 21 and a video image is not displayed on monitor 22. In this way, the interior of the internal mirror 11 is dark and the exterior is light and thus the passenger 26a of the vehicle 25 can easily check the rear of the vehicle through the mirror 21.
[0109] Passenger 26a of vehicle 25 operates lever switch 44 in figure 17 (a) for an HD2 direction that is equal to the FD vehicle travel direction. Next, the lever switch 44 rotates around the pair of rotary axes 58 to the right with respect to the housing 41. At the same time, the lever switch 44 rotates around the rotary axis 157 to the right also with respect to the support 83, and the holder 83 rotates to the left about the rotating axis 56 with respect to the housing 41. As indicated by the reference character CP2 in figure 17 (b), when the lever portion 44b of the lever switch 44 is placed in In contact with the lower end portion 41a of housing 41, each of the rotation operations described above is stopped, and at the same time, the contact switch 23a formed in the lower end portion 41a of housing 41 is closed. When contact switch 23a is closed, a video image is displayed on monitor 22.
[0110] Figure 17 (b) shows a state in which the rotation operation described above is stopped and illustrates the position of the internal mirror 11 when a video image is displayed on monitor 22. Before and after the rotation operation, the support angles 83, half mirror 21, spacer 45 and monitor 22 are similarly shifted upward. On the other hand, the housing 41, ball joint BJ, and vehicle joint portion BS do not move before and after the rotation operation.
[0111] In the first and second modes, the angles of housing 41 and half mirror 21 and monitor 22 fixed to housing 41 are changed upwards by the operation of lever switch 44. On the other hand, the third mode is different in that by operation of lever switch 44, support angles 83 and half mirror 21 and monitor 22 attached to support 83 are shifted upwards.
[0112] Furthermore, since the operating direction of lever switch 44 is different, the third mode is also different in that the contact switch 23a provided in the locking mechanism 23 is formed not at the lower end of the support 83 but in the lower end 41a of housing 41.
[0113] As described above, the locking mechanism 23 locks with the display of a video image on the monitor 22 and can change the angle of the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 from the position of the half mirror 21 when looking at the rear of the vehicle. If the passenger 26a pushes the lever switch 44 in figure 17 (a) in the direction of travel FD, the bracket 83, the mirror half 21, and the monitor 22 tilt upwards by an articulation structure. In addition, by closing contact switch 23a at the same time, cameras 13a and 13b and monitor 22 are started, and a video image is displayed on monitor 22. At that time, the mirror half 21 is directed upwards so avoiding a double image by eliminating reflection.
[0114] Figure 18 is a sectional view enlarging a portion indicated by a reference character CP2 in figure 17 (b) and illustrates a configuration of contact switch 23a formed in the lower lower portion 41a of housing 41. As described above, figure 18 is different from figure 6 in that the contact switch 23a is formed in the lower end portion 41a of the housing 41 and the lever portion 44b of the lever switch 44 presses the movable contact 62 in the state of figure 17 (b), however, the configuration of contact switch 23a is the same as in figure 6, and the explanation will be omitted.
[0115] As illustrated in figure 19 (a), in the state of figure 17 (a), since the eye line extended from the passenger EY eye 26a is directed towards the rear view BD, the rear view of the vehicle 25 is designed for the mirror half 21 with respect to the passenger 26a of the vehicle 25, and a quantity of light reflected by the mirror half 21 towards the passenger 26a of the vehicle 25 becomes large in this state. In the state of figure 17 (a), once the contact switch 23a is opened, no video image is displayed on monitor 22, and monitor 22 appears dark. Thus, since the interior of the inner mirror 11 is dark and the exterior is clear, the passenger 26a of the vehicle 25 can easily check the rear view through the half mirror 21.
[0116] On the other hand, as illustrated in figure 19 (b), in the state of figure 17 (b), since the support 83, the mirror half 21, the spacer 45 and the monitor 22 are directed upwards, eye line extended from passenger EY eye 26a is directed to an RD roof direction in the cabin. In this way, the amount of light reflected by the mirror means 21 towards the passenger 26a of the vehicle 25 decreases in comparison with the space of figure 17 (a). in the state of figure 17 (b), once the contact switch 23a is closed, a video image is displayed on the monitor 22. Thus, once a state in which the interior of the internal mirror 11 is clear and the exterior is dark is formed, passenger 26a of vehicle 25 is no longer bothered by the light reflected by the mirror medium 21, and the visibility of the video image displayed on monitor 22 is improved. As a result, an amount of light from the monitor 22 can be kept lower than by an existing technology.
[0117] In addition, in the state of figure 17 (b), locking with display of a video image on monitor 22, the display surface of monitor 22 can be directed towards passenger 26a of vehicle 25. As a result, visibility of the video image displayed on monitor 22 is further enhanced. For example, it is only necessary to orient the display surface of the monitor 22 perpendicularly to the passenger 26a of the vehicle 25. Since an angle of the display surface of the monitor 22 that improves the visibility of the video image is different depending on the characteristics of the monitor 22, the perpendicular orientation is not limiting, and the display surface can be directed at an angle at which the visibility of the video image is enhanced.
[0118] In addition, the mirror half 21 and the monitor 22 can be fixed together in a state in which the display surface of the monitor 22 is directed towards the passenger 26a of the vehicle 25, and the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 is directed towards the highest direction (the RD roof direction, for example) than an angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle. The locking mechanism 23 can orient the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 in the direction higher than the angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle and at the same time can direct the display surface of the monitor 22 towards the passenger of the vehicle by changing the angles of the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 and the display surface of the monitor 22 at the same time. In this way, the angle control of the half mirror 21 and monitor 22 by the locking mechanism 23 is made easier.
[0119] Alternatively, the mirror half 21 and monitor 22 can be fixed together in a state in which the display surface of the monitor 22 is directed towards the passenger 26a of the vehicle 25, and the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 is directed towards the lower direction (the floor direction, for example) than the angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle. In this case, the locking mechanism 23 can orient the reflective surface of the mirror half 21 in the direction lower than the angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle and at the same time can orient the display surface of the monitor 22 towards the passenger. of the vehicle by changing the angles of the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 and the display surface of the monitor 22 to the bottom direction at the same time. For example, the state shown in figure 17 (a) and the state shown in figure 17 (b) can be changed in practice.
[0120] In addition, as described above, in the third modality, since the configuration of the video display mirror system illustrated in figure 1 is common with that of the first modality, a modified example similar to the modified example of the system video display mirror described with reference to figure 10 is possible.
[0121] As described above, according to the third mode, the following operating effects can be obtained.
[0122] Locking with the display of a video image (BV, RV) on the monitor 22, the angle of the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 is changed from the position of the half mirror 21 when looking at the rear of the vehicle. As a result, the amount of light from the rear of the vehicle reflected by the mirror means 21 towards the passengers 26a and 26b of the vehicle decreases. In this way, the discomfort that passengers 26a and 26b of vehicle 25 feel due to the light reflected by the mirror medium 21 decreases, and the visibility of the video image (BV, RV) displayed on the monitor 22 is improved. In this way, the amount of light from monitor 22 can be kept lower than the existing technology.
[0123] The locking mechanism 23 locks with the display of the video image (BV, RV) on the monitor 22 and guides the display surface of the monitor 22 towards the passengers 26a and 26b of the vehicle 25, and therefore visibility of the image displayed on monitor 22 is further enhanced.
[0124] The mirror half 21 and the monitor 22 are fixed together in a state in which the display surface of the monitor 22 is directed towards passengers 26a and 26b of the vehicle 25 and also the reflective surface of the mirror half 21 is directed towards the upper or lower direction than the angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle. The locking mechanism 23 can direct the reflective surface of the mirror medium 21 towards the upper or lower direction than the angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle and at the same time, it can direct the display surface of the monitor 22 towards passengers 26a and 26b of vehicle 25. In this way, the control of the angle of the half mirror 21 and monitor 22 by the locking mechanism 23 is made easier.
[0125] ECU 12 changes the type of video image (BV, RV) to be displayed on monitor 22 depending on whether the transmission mounted on vehicle 25 is in the reverse position or not. As a result, the optimal video image (BV, RV) can be displayed according to the shift position of the transmission.
[0126] If the transmission mounted on vehicle 25 is in the reverse position, ECU 12 displays the previous view BV to detect an obstacle when vehicle 25 pulls back on monitor 22, and if the transmission mounted on vehicle 25 is not in the reverse position, the RV rear view to check the vehicle that follows is displayed on monitor 22. As a result, the rear video image in the vicinity of the vehicle is displayed when vehicle 25 recedes, while the video image in a wider range at the rear of the vehicle can be displayed in the case other than that.
[0127] The locking mechanism 23 includes the contact switch 23a switched on / off according to the angle of the mirror half 21, and controls display and non-display of the video image (BV, RV) according to the action of switch contact switch 23a on / off. As a result, since the locking mechanism 23 can be mechanically constituted, the reliability of the locking mechanism 23 is improved.
[0128] When the transmission provided in vehicle 25 is in the reverse position, regardless of the opening / closing of the contact switch 23a, the locking mechanism 23 locks with the display of the previous view BV on the monitor 22 and can change the angle of the half mirror 21 from the position of the half mirror 21 when looking at the rear of the vehicle. When vehicle 25 recedes, the visibility of the video image of the rear of the vehicle displayed on monitor 22 is improved.
[0129] Housing 41 is fixed to vehicle 25, mirror half 21 and monitor 22 are fixed to bracket 83 at different angles, and locking mechanism 23 changes the angles of bracket 83, mirror half 21, and the monitor 22 with respect to the housing 41. As a result, the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 can be directed in the upper or lower direction than the angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle and at the same time, the display surface of the vehicle. monitor 22 can be oriented towards passengers 26a and 26b of the vehicle. In this way, the angle control of the monitor half mirror 21 by the locking mechanism 23 is made easier. Fourth modality
[0130] In a fourth embodiment, instead of the manual locking mechanism 23 described in the third embodiment, a video display mirror using an electrical locking mechanism and a video display mirror system will be described. A configuration of the video display mirror system according to the fourth modality is the same as figure 11, and an example of operation of the video display mirror system according to the fourth modality is the same as figure 14, and the explanation will be omitted, respectively.
[0131] By referring to figure 20 (a) and figure 20 (b), a movement of the internal mirror 71 by driving the motor 72 will be described. Figure 20 (a) and figure 20 (b) are diagrams corresponding to section views along the cross section DD in figure 15. Instead of lever switch 44, motor 72 is accommodated within housing 41. The motor 72 is fixed to a lower part on the rear surface (surface oriented in the direction of travel FD) of the support 83.
[0132] Motor 72 is installed so that its rotating axis is directed to the horizontal direction, and gear 72a is provided on the rotating axis of motor 72. In an extreme lower portion of housing 41, the irregular portion 73 is formed from so as to make funny with gear 72a. the irregular portion 73 is formed in an arc shape around the rotary axis 56.
[0133] Figure 20 (a) illustrates the position of the internal mirror 11 when the passenger 26a looks towards the rear view reflected by the mirror half 21. In a state illustrated in figure 20 (a), the rear view of the vehicle 25 is projected for the half mirror 21 for the passenger 26a of the vehicle 25, and a video image is not displayed on the monitor 22. Thus, since the interior of the internal mirror 11 is dark and the exterior is clear, the passenger 26a of the vehicle 25 can easily check the rear of the vehicle through the mirror 21.
[0134] When switch commutator 23c in figure 11 is closed by operation of passenger 26a, ECU 12 transmits a motor control signal that includes information of a rotation angle in relation to motor 72. Gear 72a of motor 72 rotates to the right by the angle of rotation indicated by the motor control signal. With the rotation of the gear 72a, the support 83, the monitor 22, the spacer 45, and the half mirror 21 rotate about the axis of rotation 56 with respect to the housing 41. The angle of rotation described above is an angle defined in advance.
[0135] Figure 20 (b) shows a state in which the rotation operation described above housing 41 is stopped and illustrates the position of the internal mirror 11 when a video image is displayed on monitor 22. Before and after the operation of rotation, the support angles 83, the mirror half 21, the spacer 45, and the monitor 22 change upwards similarly. On the other hand, the housing 41 and the vehicle joint portion BS do not move before and after the rotation operation.
[0136] As described above, locking with the display of the video image (RV, BV) on the monitor 22, the electrical locking mechanism 23 can change the angle of the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 from the position of the half mirror 21 when you look at the rear of the vehicle.
[0137] As described above, according to the fourth modality, the following operating effects can be obtained.
[0138] Locking with the display of a video image (BV, RV) on the monitor 22, the angle of the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 is changed from the position of the half mirror 21 when looking at the rear of the vehicle. As a result, the amount of light from the rear of the vehicle reflected by the mirror means 21 towards the passengers 26a and 26b of the vehicle 25 decreases. In this way, the discomfort that passengers 26a and 26b of vehicle 25 feel due to the light reflected by the mirror medium 21 decreases, and the visibility of the video image (BV, RV) displayed on the monitor 22 is improved. In this way, the amount of light from monitor 22 can be kept lower than the existing technology.
[0139] The locking mechanism 23 locks with the display of the video image (BV, RV) on the monitor 22 and guides the display surface of the monitor 22 towards the passengers 26a and 26b of the vehicle 25, so that the visibility of the image displayed on monitor 22 is further enhanced.
[0140] The mirror half 21 and the monitor 22 are fixed together in a state in which the display surface of the monitor 22 is directed towards passengers 26a and 26b of the vehicle 25 and also the reflective surface of the mirror half 21 is directed towards the upper or lower direction than the angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle. The locking mechanism 23 directs the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 to the upper or lower direction than the angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle and at the same time, it can direct the display surface of the monitor 22 towards the passengers 26a and 26b of vehicle 25. In this way, the angle control of the half mirror 21 and monitor 22 by the locking mechanism 23 is made easier.
[0141] ECU 12 changes the type of video image (BV, RV) to be displayed on monitor 22 depending on whether the transmission mounted on vehicle 25 is in the reverse position or not. As a result, the optimal video image (BV, RV) can be displayed according to the shift position of the transmission.
[0142] ECU 12 displays the previous view BV to detect an obstacle when vehicle 25 pulls back on monitor 22 if the transmission mounted on vehicle 25 is in the reverse position. If the transmission mounted on vehicle 25 is not in the reverse position, ECU 12 displays the rear view RV to check the vehicle that follows on monitor 22. As a result, the rear video image in the vicinity of the vehicle can be displayed when vehicle 25 pulls back, while the video image in a wider range at the rear of the vehicle may be displayed in a different case.
[0143] Since the locking mechanism 23 is an electrical locking mechanism, the freedom of design time from the timing of displaying a video image (BV, RV) on monitor 2 until the half-mirror angle be changed, it is perfected.
[0144] If the transmission provided in vehicle 25 is in the reverse position, regardless of the opening / closing of the switching switch 23c, the locking mechanism 23 locks with the display of the BV rear view on the monitor 22 and can change the angle of the half mirror 21 from the position of the half mirror 21 when looking at the rear of the vehicle. When vehicle 25 recedes, the visibility of a video image at the rear of the vehicle displayed on monitor 22 is improved.
[0145] The housing 41 is fixed to the vehicle 25, the mirror half 21 and the monitor 22 are fixed to the support 83 at different angles, and the locking mechanism 23 changes the angles of the supports 83, the half mirror 21, and the monitor 22 with respect to housing 41. As a result, the reflective surface of the mirror half 21 can be directed in the upper or lower direction than the angle when looking at the rear of the vehicle and at the same time, the display surface of the monitor 22 can be directed at passengers 26a and 26b of vehicle 25. In this way, the angle control of the half mirror 21 and monitor 22 by the locking mechanism 23 is made easier. Modified example
[0146] In the third and fourth embodiments, the case in which the housing 41 is fixed in the vicinity of the center at the top of the front window of the vehicle 25 through the ball joint BJ and the vehicle joint portion BS is described. The internal mirrors 11 and 71 according to the third and fourth modalities are not limited to this. For example, the internal mirrors 11 and 71 can be incorporated in a central part of the front end 84a of a roof element 84 in the cabin, as shown in figure 21. In this case, the housing 41 of the internal mirrors 11 and 71 can be directly -tightly attached to the central front end part 84a of the roof element 84 in the cab not via ball joint BJ and vehicle joint portion BS. Alternatively, as the housing 41 of the internal mirrors 11 and 72, the central front ex-tremor part 84a of the roof element 84 in the cabin can be used.
[0147] As described above, the modalities and their modified examples of the present invention are described, however the description and drawings forming part of that disclosure are not to be construed as limiting the present invention. From this disclosure, several alternative modalities, examples and operating technologies will be made obvious to those skilled in the art.
[0148] For example, in the modalities of the present invention, as an example of the video display mirror, the internal mirror 11 installed in the cabin is described, however the video display mirror includes other mirrors used to reflect the view from the rear of the vehicle 25 as a door mirror and a fender mirror installed outside the cabin. The locking with display of the video image on the monitor 22, by changing the angle of the reflective surface of the half mirror 21 from the position of the half mirror 21 when looking at the rear of the vehicle, the amount and light reflected by the half mirror 21 decreases, and the visibility of monitor 22 is improved.
[0149] Furthermore, the manual locking mechanism 23 and electric locking mechanism 23 are described as different modalities, however the manual locking mechanism 23 and electric locking mechanism 23 can be combined in use. In that case, passenger 26a can freely choose between a manual operation by the lever switch 44 and an electrical operation by the motor 72.
[0150] All content of Japanese patent application no. 2011-269734 (filing date: December 9, 2011) and Japanese patent application no. 2012-132789 (filing date: 12 June 2012) are referred to here. Industrial applicability
[0151] According to the video display mirror and video display mirror system according to the modalities of the present invention, the amount of light from the rear of the vehicle reflected by the half mirror towards the passenger vehicle decreases.
