A selection switch 66 and a determination switch 67 for display items are disposed on the left and right sides of the cover member 60 in the vehicle width direction.

The display surface 74 is provided with a clock 70 of a segment display type, an odometer 71, an engine speed meter 72, a speedometer 73, a shift indicator 75, and a fuel gauge 76, and a pair of left and right turn blinkers 61, an oil warning lamp 62, an idle lamp 63, an engine warning lamp 64, and a high beam 65 are disposed at positions near the upper side. An ECO display unit 80 for displaying fuel efficiency information is provided at a position near the center and above the display surface 74 in the vehicle width direction.

In the meter device 40 of the present embodiment, the ECO display portion 80 is disposed at the center in the vehicle width direction and at a position close to the upper side in the front view of the display surface 74, and therefore, even in a motorcycle type saddle-ride type vehicle in which the distance from the driver to the meter device 40 is likely to increase, the ECO display portion 80 can be easily seen by slightly shifting the line of sight toward the front of the vehicle body downward during traveling. Thus, even if the line of sight is not changed greatly during traveling, the ECO display unit 80 can be easily checked, and the driving mode with low fuel consumption can be more easily observed.

In the present embodiment, a surrounding portion 90 is provided around the ECO display portion 80 to separate the region where the ECO display portion 80 is provided from other regions. This makes the ECO display portion 80 stand out, thereby improving the visibility of the ECO display portion 80. The enclosure portion 90 is formed of an upper frame 90a contacting the upper edge of the ECO display portion 80, a left frame 90b contacting the left edge of the ECO display portion 80, a right frame 90c contacting the right edge of the ECO display portion 80, and a lower frame 90d contacting the lower edge of the ECO display portion 80. The ECO display portion 80 is actually provided on the same plane as the display surface 74 on which the speedometer 73 and various warning lamps are provided, but by providing the surrounding portion 90, the ECO display portion 80 can be made visible independently of the other portions of the display surface 74.

The containment portion 90 is integrally formed with the cover member 60. In other words, the enclosure portion 90 is coupled to the cover member 60 in the upper frame 90 a. Thus, the dam portion 90 extends downward from the upper portion of the display surface 74 and surrounds the ECO display portion 80, and can further protrude the ECO display portion 80. Further, by using a part of the display device constituting the display surface 74 as the ECO display portion 80, the number of parts and the number of assembling steps can be reduced, and by providing the barrier portion 90, the ECO display portion 80 can be seen as a separate independent display device, and a luxurious feeling can be improved.

The ECO display unit 80 is configured such that the vehicle width direction dimension on the upper side is larger than the vehicle width direction dimension on the lower side in the front view of the display surface 74. In the present embodiment, the ECO display unit 80 is formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape having a wide upper side of the vehicle body, thereby improving visibility when the line of sight during traveling is slightly shifted.

In the present embodiment, the upper edge 74a of the display surface 74 is formed in a flat shape oriented in the vehicle width direction. This makes it possible to view the ECO display unit 80 projecting downward from the upper edge of the meter device 40, and to further improve the visibility of the ECO display unit 80.

Next, a display example of the ECO display unit 80 is shown with reference to fig. 6 to 11. The ECO display unit 80 may be configured by a segment format or a liquid crystal interface display, as in the other displays provided on the display surface 74.

Fig. 6 is a first display example of the ECO display section 80. The first display example is a mode in which the fuel consumption is small or the display range increases from the center left-right symmetrically as the fuel consumption measurement value increases. In addition to the on/off segment display, the display form can improve the luxury feeling by displaying the increase and decrease of the display range or the gradation of the combined density steplessly.

Fig. 7 is a second display example of the ECO display section 80. The second display example is a pattern in which the concentric circles increase from the center to the radially outer side as the fuel consumption measurement increases. In this display example, the center of the display change is located at a position close to the line of sight of the driver during traveling, whereby visibility can be further improved.

Fig. 8 shows a third display example of the ECO display unit 80. The third display example is a mode in which the display range of the lateral length increases upward as the fuel consumption measurement value increases. In this example, the visibility can be further improved by increasing the vehicle width direction dimension of the display range upward.

Fig. 9 shows a fourth display example of the ECO display unit 80. The fourth display example is a mode in which the display range increases to the right as the fuel consumption measurement value increases. In this display example, the increase and decrease of the display range can be easily seen by making the display range asymmetric in the left and right directions, and the visibility can be improved.

Fig. 10 shows a fifth display example of the ECO display unit 80. The fifth display example is a mode in which the pattern indicating the leaves changes to a specified color such as green as the measured value of fuel consumption increases. In this display example, the visibility can be improved by utilizing the shape recognition effect of the pattern. The change of the pattern may be on/off of the display itself of the pattern, in addition to the change of the color or the change of the shade of the same color.

Fig. 11 shows a sixth display example of the ECO display unit 80. A sixth display example is a mode in which the fuel consumption measurement value is directly digitally displayed. In this example, the average fuel consumption measurement is shown on the left and the current instantaneous fuel consumption measurement is shown on the right. Even in the case of directly displaying the numerical value as described above, the ECO display unit 80 is disposed at a position near the center and upper side in the vehicle width direction of the display surface, and a specific fuel consumption measurement value can be seen only by slightly shifting the line of sight toward the front of the vehicle body during traveling.

The shape of the motorcycle, the shape and arrangement of the meter device, the mounting structure of the meter device, the shapes of the cover member and the display surface, the shape of the surrounding portion, the display mode of the ECO display portion, the distance between the ECO display portion and the upper end portion of the meter device, the shape of the windshield screen, the distance between the ECO display portion and the upper end portion of the windshield screen, and the like are not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications are possible. The meter device of the present invention can be applied to a saddle-ride type tricycle, a quadricycle, and the like.
