Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] A. Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a timer device that performs a predetermined function operation at a predetermined time.

B. Prior Art Existing timer devices have many functions, such as turning on several AC outlets,
It has OFF control and an alarm function that sounds a buzzer etc. at a preset time,
The larger the number of functions, and the more each function has multiple channels, the more it is necessary to have a corresponding function key for each channel of each function.
The structure is complicated, which increases costs, and the operating procedures are complicated and difficult to handle.

C. Purpose of the invention The present invention was devised in view of these drawbacks, and aims to simplify the configuration and improve operability.

D. Structure of the Invention The present invention has a function time display section composed of registers corresponding to a large number of functions, and each of the registers is further provided with a plurality of data areas.

E. Embodiment FIG. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of the timer device of the present invention, in which 1 is a time display section for displaying the current time and various function operation times;
3 is an hour setting switch, and 3 is a minute setting switch.These setting switches 2 and 3 are used to set the current time and function operation time. 4 is a clock switch, which is operated to send the time set by setting switches 2 and 3 to the clock circuit and set it as the current time. 5 is the function operation section, and 6 is the function control section.
The outlet switch is used to set the ON/OFF function of the AC100V outlet and to confirm the set time. 7 is the alarm switch used for the alarm function that emits an alarm sound when the preset time arrives. , 8 is an elapsed time key used for the elapsed time function that emits an alarm sound when a preset time has elapsed, 9 is a clear key used to clear the set time, etc., or to stop the alarm sound, and 10 is a clear key used to clear the set time etc. The start key operated when starting each of the above functions,
11 is an alarm sound emitting hole.

FIG. 2 shows the internal configuration of the timer device of the present invention. 12 is a clock circuit that performs timekeeping operation, 13 is an AC
A function time storage unit that stores function operation times such as outlet and timer operations, and has, for example, three registers R ₁ , R ₂ , and R ₃ corresponding to three types of functions, respectively.
Each register is provided with five data areas for storing five function times. Reference numeral 14 denotes a coincidence detection circuit for detecting coincidence between the time measured by the clock circuit 12 and the function time set in each data area of the function time storage section 13, and is connected to an AC outlet 15 and a buzzer 16. Reference numeral 1 denotes a time display section on which the time of the clock circuit 12 or the function time from the function time storage section 13 is displayed. 17 are the switches 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 of the function operation section 5, and the hour and minute setting keys 2,
This is a control section that issues a control signal based on a signal from an input section 18 such as No. 3.

Normally, the time display section 1 displays the current time of the clock circuit 12. On the other hand, when it becomes necessary to read out and confirm the operating time of a preset function, for example, the user operates the switch 7 corresponding to that function, for example, a timer function. Then, the contents of the first data area of the register _R2 corresponding to the timer function are displayed on the display section 1, and the timer time is confirmed. Furthermore AC
When it is necessary to know the operating time of an outlet, the outlet switch 6 is operated. In response to that operation, register R ₁ corresponding to the outlet function
The contents of the first data area are read out and displayed on the display section 1. On the other hand, among this outlet function, the outlet at a different time
ON and OFF are set, and if you want to know that, by operating this outlet switch 6 in succession, the contents of the next data area of register _R1 will be read out and displayed.

In this way, if the same function is to be operated at multiple times and those times are set in the corresponding registers, you can operate the same function at multiple times by operating the switch corresponding to this function multiple times. The set time is read out and displayed on display section 1.
is displayed.

Also, instead of reading each data area of register R sequentially according to the number of times the function switch is operated, the same function can be obtained by configuring the system to read each data area sequentially from the operation time of the function switch. will.

F. Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above explanation, the present invention is capable of controlling the number of registers corresponding to each function by operating the switch corresponding to that function.
The data area of the function register is read out and displayed, and the data area of the function register is read out sequentially depending on the subsequent operation status of the function switch. Setting the time does not complicate the configuration, and the operating procedure is simple, greatly contributing to the prevention of increased costs and erroneous operations.
