Definitions

  • the invention relates to a program input and / or time setting device for digital-electronic time switches, with a manually operable, forward and backward rotatable command transmitter, in the form of a pulse generator or a coding device, and with a forward / backward recognition of the command input in a data memory.
  • an apparatus mentioned at the outset which enables an operator to carry out program input and / or time setting manually, in accordance with the rules of an analog command and / or data preselection, no terminal, e.g. a display, for visual, immediate input and / or position control, is required. It should be ensured that only digital information from the command output of the program input and / or time setting device is fed to the data memory.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned, which allows an analog program input and / or time setting in such time switches and for their command input control in a data memory no usual downstream tes visual display device is provided in the form of a display or another data viewing station.
  • the command device is provided with a, in particular manually adjustable, pointer mechanism, with at least one adjustable pointer, that the pointer mechanism can be set on the basis of a dial, and that the command device outputs digital information in the form of dial analogue-related, issues coded commands to the data store.
  • the pointer mechanism for such a timer can consist of a minute hand and an hour hand.
  • the division of hours can be divided into twelve scales per 360-degree scale or, if necessary, twenty-four hours. It is also envisaged to couple a weekly hand or a weekly disk to the above-mentioned pointer mechanism.
  • the individual pointers or disks can be mechanically engaged with one another via known gear mechanisms.
  • the individual pointers or disks of the pointer mechanism can be individually adjustable or expediently centrally, in particular directly on one of the mentioned pointers.
  • the command transmitter mechanically coupled to the pointer mechanism can output individual binary information units which are dependent on the direction of rotation and angle of rotation and which, in sum, can correspond to an analog pointer setting for a dial or a scale.
  • the command transmitter outputs information units which are coded as a function of the direction of rotation and angle of rotation and which can correspond to the pointer position or positions of a dial or a scale and which are fed to a data memory.
  • a simple, clear and reliable program input and / or time setting is advantageous in a device according to the invention development in an analogous manner by means of pointers or pointer disks, which relate to an associated scale or a dial, the command transmitter mechanically coupled to the pointer mechanism, in the form of a mechanical-electrical or electronic analog-digital converter, transferring pointer-dependent information units to a data memory, the each preselected pointer dial position corresponds to a data display.
  • Another advantage is the economical implementation of such a time switch with a device according to the invention, especially since an electronic data display station that is usually required is omitted.
  • FIG. 1 essentially shows a program input and / or time setting device with a pointer mechanism 1 consisting of a minute hand 2 and an hour hand 3, which can be coupled to one another in a known manner via a mechanical transmission gear, not shown.
  • the pointer mechanism 1 is coupled via the shaft 4 to a command transmitter 5, which, in the embodiment shown, consists of an optoelectronic pulse generator, with a so-called slotted disk 6 and a U-shaped fork light barrier 7 which overlaps the slotted disk 6.
  • the pointer mechanism 1 is provided with dials 8 or other scales, to which a pointer setting can be related.
  • a dial with a minute and hour division can be provided there be.
  • the hour division per 360 ° can be based on 12 hours or 24 hours.
  • a scale 9 for the days of the week can be arranged there, which can be mechanically or electronically coupled to the pointer mechanism 1 or the command device 5, for program input and / or time setting depending on the time of day, day of the week.
  • the command transmitter issues 5 individual binary information units, which are per unit, forward or backward, in particular one minute can. These binary information units can be fed to an electronic counter, which derives time information from the counter reading and then feeds this information to a data memory.
  • the command generator 5 directly contains a pointer-dial-coded device, in particular in the form of a special coding disk 10 according to FIG. 2, which has a specific pointer position, based on the dial 8 or corresponding scales 9, in one, in particular binary decimal code (BCD) translated, which can be fed to a data memory.
  • BCD binary decimal code
  • the set value can be written into a data memory either via a so-called write key, or automatically, in the form of a setting program reading cycle.
  • program input and / or time setting can also be carried out for a specific day of the week.
  • the coding disk 10 shows in detail a circuit board, in particular coated on both sides, on which, in binary decimal code, ten inner rings 11 for one to ten and one divided outer ring 12 for one to six are provided.
  • the corresponding installed contacts 13 which are connected to the inner rings 11 and the outer ring 12 are scanned by grinders (not shown in more detail) which engage with the pointers 2 and 3 according to FIG. 1.
  • any other coding can also be provided if this should be expedient.
  • the pointers 2 and 3 can be set independently of one another, ie that they are not mechanically coupled to one another. Both pointers 2 and 3 can create so-called bit patterns on such a coding disk 10, as shown in FIG. 2, according to their preselection. This pattern can be from one to sixty for the minute hand 2 and for the hour hand. 3 run from one to twelve or from one to twenty-four.
  • a method in which the command transmitter 5 in FIG. 1 is equipped with a device which only outputs binary information units, for example to an electronic counter, such a method requires that when the device is started up for the first time a so-called zero-setting process is carried out. In a further development of such a method, this zero-setting process can also take place automatically. This can expediently take place, based on a time, between 23 59 and 0 °. If there is a weekly disc, it can be advantageous if the weekly disc has a code there, i.e. the current day of the week is available as constant information.
  • the weekly disc can be adjusted by hand, or it is automatically switched one step between 23 59 and 0 o'clock, in particular by means of a ratchet mechanism.
  • the weekly disk can run there in particular like a coding switch on a printed circuit board and can only be rotated by hand in one direction.
  • FIG. 3 shows an electronic device for recognizing a forward or backward program input and / or time setting, as is already known from general optoelectronics, and is expedient for a device according to an embodiment according to FIG. 1 .
  • There 6 means a slotted disc of a command transmitter 5 which is acted upon by a forked light barrier 7.
  • 14 shows a light transmitter and the numbers 15 and 16 designate two light receivers. If the slotted disc is moved or rotated there in the direction of arrow 17, e.g. the one light receiver 15 is acted upon by the light transmitter 14 and the adjacent second light receiver 16 is shaded. If the direction of rotation or movement is reversed, the process takes place in reverse order.
  • An electronic counter provided can be controlled accordingly by means of this device.
  • FIG. 4 A comparable functional device, like that according to FIG. 3, is shown in the following FIG. 4.
  • 18 and 19 each show an impulse wheel, which is each provided with a directional lock, so that each of the two wheels only in a certain, opposite direction, can be rotated by means of a rotary knob 20.
  • the contacts 21 and 22 provided there lead corresponding pre-recognition signals to an electronic counter (not shown in more detail).
  • the counter can switch over automatically at a certain rotational speed. It is also possible that only hours or only days of the week are counted as soon as a certain rotational speed at the program input and / or time setting is exceeded.
  • a manual mechanical switchover of the counting speed of an electronic counter can also be carried out by means of a so-called two-button arrangement, with two rotary knobs one inside the other, or by means of a so-called pull-button switch.
  • a device according to the invention can be an independent, in particular mobile component, and that this component can be provided with a plug-in or adapter device which makes it possible to use one and the same to program a plurality of time switch devices Program input and / or time setting device to operate if such time switches are provided with a corresponding interface. It is also envisaged to set the pointers 1 of the present device by means of a motor, in particular by means of a stepping motor.
