DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a card type annual program timer for setting operation designation information such as on / off time of load control in a year by using a mark card.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional electronic yearly timer has been disclosed, for example, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-11673. This conventional example is a year / year setting device that sets the year while displaying the year digitally, a digital Saturday setting device that sets the control format of Saturday, and a digital type device that sets the number of consecutive days of the first day of the holiday and the holiday. The holiday setting device sets the date, number of days and the number of days of the holiday, and the control format of Saturday.

There are also a low load time setting device, a peak load time period setting device, and a normal load time period setting device, which can be set while displaying the start time of each time period. Further, by pressing the registration button, the setting data set by the setting device is stored in the storage unit. Thus, in the above conventional example, the date, time,
In order to set the time, the operation panel surface requires a large space for each fixed device. In particular, in order to be able to set many holidays, it is necessary to increase the number of setting devices by that number. To set the start time more finely (for example, every minute), a setting device is further required, and furthermore, it is necessary to press a registration button to store the start time.

As another conventional example of an annual timer, there is a method in which a rotary switch for mode switching is rotated to set a time setting input mode and the like, and current time and operation designation information are set by several push switches. When the time and the number of circuits to be controlled increase, a large amount of time is required to input operation designation information and the like. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 57-4 discloses a configuration in which the trouble of setting operation is reduced by using a card.
There is a weekly program timer as in Japanese Patent No. 2883,
The weekly program timer uses one type of card to set the operation for the week, but it has not been possible to set the operation in advance over the year.

As another card-type program timer, there is a weekly program timer as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 58-186493, and the operation setting is performed over a year similarly to the above-mentioned card-type program timer.

Card 2B marked as described above
Is read in the same manner as in the cards 2A and 2B described above, and a summer time period is designated. The summer time period designated in this manner is implemented every year while being stored. Once this daylight saving time period has been implemented, it may not be implemented in the next year. At this time, the storage of the summer time period may be deleted.

The daylight saving time period can be changed by reading a card marked with the start time and end date of the daylight saving time to be changed. When canceling the daylight saving time period, the card 2B marked in [cancel] of the daylight saving time specification cancellation column 44 is used. You just need to read it. In the embodiment, the daylight saving time period is set by a card in which the operation pattern column of the specific day of the year is not entered. However, it is also possible to set the daylight saving time period by a card in which the operation pattern column of the specific day of the year is entered.

Next, the overall operation of the embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, when the power is turned on, all the output signals are set to the "H" state, and this state continues except for the signals that are automatically output, and the internal RAM and the external RAM 14 of the signal processing circuit 13 are all cleared. This after clearing, until adjusting switch S ₂ of the operation panel 1 is operated, any other input also not accept, not even if the output.

[0036] When the adjustment switch S ₂ is operated, the process proceeds to the initial mode, initialization is performed to shift to the normal operation. The next timer mode is a mode in which the clock, timer output, and time signal output functions are performed. The clock function includes a function for displaying the current time and a function for causing the date and time to be displayed on the current time display unit 4. The timer output function is a function for outputting a signal of “ON” or “OFF” to the relay drive circuit 7 at a set time according to a preset program. The time signal output function is a function for outputting a signal of a time signal based on a chime sound of a music piece selected at a preset time from the chime unit 8 for a set time.

After entering the timer mode, the time is adjusted by a time adjustment routine, and when there is a reading operation of the card reader 3, the mode is shifted to the program mode and the card reader input function, the card reader control function and the like are operated. The card reader input function is a function in which the card reader 3 reads marks written on the cards 2A and 2B, and sets a timer program required for a timer operation.

The card reader control function is provided for the card 2
It is a function to control a timing signal, a data signal, a control signal of a card reader motor, and the like when reading a mark written in A and 2B. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the contents of the program mode. When the card reading by the card reader is started, the signal processing circuit 13 starts taking in the mark, and the card being read is the first card 2A. Whether it is the second card 2B is determined by the presence or absence of the annual pattern setting card discrimination mark TY.

In the case of the first card 2A, based on the position of the fetched mark, "ON" is performed in accordance with a preset definition.
A program for a timer function such as time, “off” time, circuit number, circuit conditions, etc. is created, and the created program is stored in the external RAM 14 to complete the setting of the program. In addition, if the second card 2B is a card designated for a specific day of the year, a timer function corresponding to the year, month, day and operation pattern of the specific day of the year according to the definition based on the position of the captured mark. Is created, and the created program is stored in the external RAM 14 to complete the setting of the program.

Further, if the daylight saving time period of the second card 2B is specified, the daylight saving time start date and the end date are stored in the external RAM 14 according to the definition based on the position of the fetched mark, and the daylight saving time period is set. Complete. The program is created and stored after the mark is taken in as described above, but during the mark taking, the following processing may be performed sequentially, or each processing may be performed collectively, or further combined. good.

In the embodiment, two types of cards 2A and 2B are used.
However, the timer function program may be divided into three or more types of cards for each function, and the program may be set by taking in marks of each card. The program confirmation mode in FIG. 7 is a mode for confirming the set program. The program set by the timer function is displayed on the current time display section 4 using the operation switch of the operation panel 1.

Further, in the low power consumption mode shown in FIG. 7, when a power failure detection signal is input from the power failure detection circuit 12 to the signal processing circuit 13, the signal processing circuit 13 causes the power consumption operation of the power supply circuit 11 to be reduced. This is an operation mode in which the low power consumption operation is canceled when the power failure detection signal disappears. Next, daylight saving time processing will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the daylight saving time processing. In the clock function of the time mode, the daylight saving time processing is included, and it is determined whether the day has changed or the daylight saving time end date has been determined from the daylight saving time start date. Has become.

The signal processing circuit 1 through the driver circuit 40
From 3, a signal to be sent to the analog slave clock is sent out as a fast-forward pulse for a predetermined time on the daylight saving time start date, and is adjusted to the time on the current time display section 4. As a specific example, assuming that a 60-times fast-forward pulse is transmitted and the analog sub-clock of a 30-second underdrive movie is 60 minutes / 30 minutes
One second is fast-forwarded at 120 = pulse. This one
It takes 120 × 0.5 seconds = 60 seconds = 1 minute to send 20 pulses. Therefore, 1 minute = 30 seconds × 2 (pulse) extra is necessary.

When the daylight saving time ends, a predetermined time,
The signal to be sent to the analog slave clock is stopped, and when the time on the current time display unit 4 comes, the slave clock operates by synchronizing with the time on the current time display unit 4 by starting transmission. At this time, the daylight saving time change in most countries is one hour, but the difference increases when going to the poles, and there are two hours of regions and countries.

Next, the display of the current time and the adjustment of the time will be described. First, since the card-type program timer of the present invention has a function of setting an annual program, it is necessary to display year, month, day, day of the week, hour, minute, and second for the current time.

A means for generating an output for controlling a circuit for operating a timer of a designated number when the current time matches a set time of a program stored in the storage means; and a current time display unit for displaying the current time. The timer program can be set for each day of the week simply by marking the number and condition of the circuit to be operated on the first card, and the mark entry frame for the on / off time. By simply putting a mark on the mark entry frame that specifies the specific year, month, day and the operation pattern of the day of the week specified on the first card, it is possible to specify the program over the year. By having the card reader read the marks written on the first and second cards, the program for a year is stored in the storage means, and the timer operation based on the stored program is automatically executed. In addition, using a card provided with a mark entry frame for designating at least the start date and end date of daylight saving time, the start date and end date of daylight saving time are determined from the mark of the mark entry frame of the card read by the card reader. Based on the start date and end date of the daylight saving time, the program is created based on the start date and end date of the daylight saving time, and a program that shifts to daylight saving time from the daylight saving time start date and releases daylight saving time on the daylight saving end date is created. Since the timer is operated based on the program stored in the storage means throughout the daylight saving time period and the period other than daylight saving time, the daylight saving time period can be set using the card. Timer operation program including daylight saving time It can be executed dynamically, and the means for measuring the current time sends a fast-forward pulse to the analog slave clock on the daylight saving time start date for a predetermined period so that the time of the analog slave clock matches the time of the current time display unit. Means for setting and stopping the transmission of the drive pulse to the analog slave clock for a predetermined period on the day when the summer time ends, so that the time of the analog slave clock is set to match the time of the current time display section. Can be automatically made to match the time on the current time display section, which is very effective when used as a master clock of a so-called master / slave clock.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided an instruction unit for giving an instruction to display a program stored in the storage unit to the current time display unit, and a program stored in the storage unit for reading out the current time display unit. Means for displaying the program contents according to the instruction of the above-mentioned instruction means, and means for displaying that the daylight saving time start date, daylight saving time end date and daylight saving time period have been set, so that the program stored in the storage means is provided. If you want to confirm, you can display the program on the current time display section by operating the switch means, and you can check whether the summer time start date, summer time end date, daylight saving time period is set or not. It works.
