  Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a view showing an appearance of a gun equipped with a gun usage information recording apparatus according to the present embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a state where the gun usage information recording device 2 is mounted on the gun 1. In the following description, the gun use information recording device 2 is used as the shooting recorder 2 for the sake of simplification of names.

  The shooting recorder 2 is fixed (attached) to the gun 1 by a stopper 3 in a form that is not removable for the user. As the gun 1, a shotgun is used in this embodiment. The shooting recorder 2 contains a circuit board (not shown) on which electronic components to be described later are mounted. When the gun 1 is used, usage information including the date and time of use of the gun 1 is used. Is recorded. The housing 4 (see FIG. 2) is provided with a stopper 3 that can be fixed to the gun 1. As described above, the shooting recorder 2 is fixed to the gun 1 by the stopper 3. The stopper 3 is preferably fixed to the barrel with, for example, rivets.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the inside of the shooting recorder with the housing opened. As shown in FIG. 2, a circuit board 5 is accommodated in the housing 4. The circuit board 5 includes electronic components such as a microphone 6, a battery 8 as a power source, an acceleration sensor 9, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 7, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 10, and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 11. Has been. The circuit unit of the shooting recorder 2 is configured by the circuit board 5 and each electronic component.

  FIG. 3 is a hardware block diagram of the shooting recorder. As shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 21 is an arithmetic processing unit that includes a CPU 7, a ROM 10, a RAM 11, and the like, and functions as an overall control unit that performs overall control of the shooting recorder 2. The acceleration sensor 9 is connected to the acceleration detection circuit 22, and the microphone 6 that is a voice sensor is connected to the voice detection circuit 23. The acceleration sensor 9 and the acceleration detection circuit 22 constitute acceleration detection means, and the microphone 6 and the voice detection circuit 23 constitute voice detection means.

  The acceleration detection means detects acceleration applied to the gun 1 and outputs acceleration data corresponding to the detected acceleration. The sound detection means detects the sound around the gun 1 or the sound of the barrel and outputs detected sound data corresponding to the detected sound. In the following description, the detection sound data corresponding to the detected sound is simply abbreviated as detection sound, and the detection sound data and detection sound are used as appropriate.

  When the acceleration detection circuit 22 detects a value equal to or higher than a predetermined level and the firing of the bullet is determined by data processing described later, the shooting recorder 2 starts from the real-time clock unit 25 (hereinafter abbreviated as RTC unit 25). Get time data. The determination result and the time data at that time are stored (saved) in a data storage unit 24 formed of a nonvolatile memory, for example, an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory). Since the data storage unit 24 is composed of a non-volatile memory, even if the battery 8 is depleted and the output voltage decreases, the data to be stored does not disappear. As the nonvolatile memory, FRAM (registered trademark) (Ferroelectric Random Access Memory), flash memory, or the like can be used in addition to the EEPROM.

  FIG. 4 is a control block diagram of the shooting recorder. As shown in FIG. 4, the acceleration processing unit 41 takes in the output waveform output from the acceleration detection circuit 22 and checks whether the output level is equal to or higher than a predetermined level. The output waveform is output to 43. The acceleration output comparison unit 43 includes therein an acceleration waveform comparison unit 43a and an acceleration value comparison unit 43b. An acceleration waveform comparison unit 43a as a waveform comparison unit reads out a reference waveform of acceleration when a bullet is fired, stored in a reference value / reference waveform holding unit 42 as a reference waveform holding unit, and a read reference waveform; The output waveform output from the acceleration processing unit 41 is compared, and the comparison result such as the difference is output to the bullet firing determination unit 44, for example.

  Further, the acceleration output comparison unit 43 can also digitize and compare a predetermined part of the output waveform separately from the comparison of the output waveform itself. The acceleration value comparison unit 43b as a numerical value comparison unit reads a reference value corresponding to a predetermined part of a reference waveform of acceleration stored in the reference value / reference waveform holding unit 42 as a reference value holding unit, and the read reference value And an output value corresponding to a predetermined part of the output waveform output from the acceleration processing unit 41, for example, and the difference can be output to the bullet firing determination unit 44. In addition, as a reference value, a peak value, a half value width, etc. are used, for example. What is necessary is just to compare the value in those feature points (a peak value, a half value width etc.), and obtain | require the difference. Note that the reference value / reference waveform holding unit 42 stores, for example, the reference waveform of the acceleration of each of the slug bullets and shots and the above-described reference value, thereby improving the accuracy of bullet identification.

  The acceleration reference waveform is an average of waveforms obtained when the same type of bullet is fired many times with the same type of gun. Similarly, the reference value for acceleration is a value obtained by digitizing and averaging predetermined portions of a large number of waveforms.

  The bullet firing determination unit 44 compares at least one of a result obtained by comparing the waveforms themselves and a result obtained by comparing the values (output values and reference values) at the characteristic points of the waveforms. Is substantially the same as the reference waveform or reference value when the bullet is fired, that is, when the difference can be approximated to 0 or within a predetermined range, it is determined that the bullet is fired. The bullet firing determination unit 44 outputs the determination result and the output value or output waveform to the data recording control unit 50 serving as a recording control unit. The data recording control unit 50 stores the date / time data as time data from the time information acquisition unit 48 connected to the RTC unit 25 and at least the determination result in the data storage unit 24 as usage information (use history) of the gun 1. To do.

  As described above, the data storage unit 24 is configured by using a non-volatile storage element such as an EEPROM, and even if the output voltage of the battery 8 is lowered and the function of the shooting recorder 2 is down, the use stored until then is used. Information (usage history) is stored without being lost. Further, the main body of the shooting recorder 2 is sealed so that the recorded contents cannot be altered. Then, when the gun user (the gun owner) periodically brings it into the management organization, he / she exchanges the shooting recorder 2 for a new one. As a result, the use history of the gun 1 can be stored in the management organization for a long period of time by taking it into the information device of the management organization.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 4, the audio processing unit 45 takes in an output waveform as detection sound data output from the audio detection circuit 23, checks whether the output level is equal to or higher than a predetermined level, and exceeds the predetermined level. In this case, an output waveform as detected sound data is output to the sound output comparing unit 47. The audio output comparison unit 47 includes therein an audio waveform comparison unit 47a and an audio value comparison unit 47b. The voice waveform comparison unit 47 a reads the reference waveform of the gunshot (impact sound) when the bullet is fired, stored in the reference value / reference waveform holding unit 46, and outputs the read reference waveform and the voice processing unit 45. The output waveform of the detected sound is compared and, for example, a comparison result such as the difference is output to the bullet firing determination unit 44.

  In addition to the comparison of the output waveform of the detected sound itself, the audio output comparing unit 47 can also digitize and compare a predetermined portion of the output waveform of the detected sound. The sound value comparison unit 47 b reads a reference value corresponding to a predetermined part of the reference waveform of the gunshot (impact sound) stored in the reference value / reference waveform holding unit 46, and the read reference value and the sound processing unit 45 The output value corresponding to a predetermined part of the output waveform of the detected sound that has been output can be compared, and for example, the difference can be output to the bullet firing determination unit 44. In addition, as a reference value, a peak value, a half value width, etc. are used, for example. What is necessary is just to compare the value in those feature points (a peak value, a half value width etc.), and obtain | require the difference.

  The bullet firing determining unit 44 compares at least one of a result obtained by comparing the output waveform of the detected sound itself with a result obtained by comparing a value at a feature point of the output waveform of the detected sound. If the comparison result is substantially the same as the reference waveform or reference value of the impact sound when the bullet is fired, that is, if the difference can be approximated to 0 or within a predetermined range, it is determined that the bullet is fired. The bullet firing determination unit 44 outputs the determination result and the output value of the detection sound or the output waveform of the detection sound to the data recording control unit 50. The data recording control unit 50 stores the date / time data as time data from the time information acquisition unit 48 connected to the RTC unit 25 and at least the determination result in the data storage unit 24 as usage information (use history) of the gun 1. save.

  Note that the sound processing unit 45 can improve the accuracy of detection of bullet firing so that the impact when the gun 1 is dropped or struck is not mistaken for bullet firing. Further, for example, by storing the reference waveform of the impact sound of each of the slug bullets and shots and the above-described reference value in the reference value / reference waveform holding unit 46, it is possible to specify the type of bullets fired. Can be increased. Further, by outputting the comparison result in the sound output comparing unit 47 to the bullet firing determining unit 44, the accuracy of bullet identification can be further increased compared with the case of determining only with the acceleration waveform.

  The reference waveform of the impact sound is an average of waveforms obtained when the same type of bullet is fired many times with the same type of gun. Similarly, the reference value of the impact sound is a value obtained by quantifying and averaging predetermined portions of the waveform of many times.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining acceleration at the time of bullet firing. As shown in FIG. 5, when the bullet 60 is fired by the gun 1, the acceleration sensor 9 housed in the shooting recorder 2 attached to the barrel is in the direction opposite to the firing direction (arrow C) ( The acceleration of arrow A) is detected.

  In general, an acceleration sensor chip (for example, the acceleration sensor 9 of the present embodiment) can detect acceleration in a one-dimensional direction in a three-dimensional space. In addition, a two-dimensional acceleration change can be detected by arranging a plurality of acceleration sensors. That is, the acceleration in the direction of arrow B shown in FIG. 5 can also be detected. However, most of the reaction acceleration due to the bullet firing of the gun 1 occurs in the direction opposite to the firing direction (backward of the firing), and therefore a one-dimensional acceleration sensor is usually considered sufficient. Of course, a two-dimensional acceleration sensor may be used in order to increase the accuracy of determining whether or not a bullet has been fired.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating theoretical output waveforms of the single shot and shot acceleration sensors. In FIG. 6, the horizontal axis represents time T, and the vertical axis represents acceleration magnitude P. W1 represents the output waveform of the shot, and W2 represents the output waveform of the single shot. As shown in FIG. 6, in the single shot, the acceleration peak value P2 is larger than the shot peak value P1. The acceleration reaches a peak due to the impact of the stock on the shoulder. Generally, the impact of a single shot is greater than that of a shot, and the detection width (half width) of the impact waveform of the acceleration sensor is also larger than the half width T1 of the shot. growing.

  Thus, since the output waveform output from the acceleration sensor differs depending on the type of bullet, the type of bullet that has been fired can be identified by analyzing the output waveform of the acceleration sensor. Therefore, the shooting recorder 2 stores (saves) average values such as peak values and half-value widths in the output waveform of shots and single shots in the reference value / reference waveform holding unit 42 in advance. Then, the shooting recorder 2 specifies the type of bullet that has been fired using these stored values as reference values. Note that the analysis and identification may not be possible with only the reference value, and the output waveform may be stored (saved) in the reference value / reference waveform holding unit 42 as it is. Further, by adding the analysis of the detection sound to the analysis of the output waveform by the acceleration sensor, it is possible to improve the accuracy of identifying the shot bullet.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an outline of the recorded contents of the usage history. As described above, the data storage unit 24 has an EEPROM so that the use history of the gun 1 is recorded (saved), and the recorded contents cannot be altered until the shooting recorder 2 body is disassembled and the EEPROM is taken out. Has been.

  Note that the recording in the data storage unit 24 is started from the date when the shooting recorder 2 is mounted on the gun 1. As shown in FIG. 7, from the left of the figure, the recorded contents are the date and time 71 (illustrated by “DATE / TIME”) when the bullet was fired, the bullet type 72 determined above (illustrated by “bullet type”), And whether or not the output waveform recorded separately is stored 73 (shown as “whether or not waveform is stored”). The date and time 71 when the bullet was fired is displayed in year, month, date, and time. The bullet type 72 displays shots as “A” and single shots as “B”. Further, whether the output waveform is stored 73 is displayed as “◯” when the output waveform is stored (recorded), and is displayed as “×” when the output waveform is not stored (not recorded). The

  In addition, if the output waveform is saved or not 73, recording is omitted if the output waveform is the same type, and the storage capacity of the data storage unit 24 is suppressed. Therefore, for example, if the bullet type 72 is shot “A” as a result of determining the first output waveform, and the shot “A” is also used next time, the bullet of the same specification is used. The output waveform is not stored.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a control method of the shooting recorder. A control method of the shooting recorder 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
First, in step S101, the control unit 21 checks whether or not the acceleration detection means (acceleration sensor 9, acceleration detection circuit 22) has detected acceleration. If the acceleration is detected (YES), the process proceeds to step S102. If no acceleration is detected (NO), step S101 is repeated. In step S <b> 102, the control unit 21 captures the detected output waveform of acceleration into the RAM 11.

  Next, in step S103, the control unit 21 sets the shooting recorder 2 to a mode in which a voice detection unit (including the microphone 6 or the like) is incorporated, or the built-in unit can detect voice. Check if it is. For example, when the mode is capable of voice detection (YES), the process proceeds to step S111.

  In step S <b> 111, the control unit 21 captures the output waveform of the detected sound detected and output by the sound detection unit in the RAM 11. Then, the process proceeds to step S112. In step S112, the control unit 21 analyzes the output waveform of acceleration and the output waveform of detected sound, which are taken into the RAM 11, and compares them with the respective reference values or reference waveforms. Next, the process proceeds to step S105.

  In step S103, if the mode is not capable of detecting voice (NO), the process proceeds to step S104. In step S104, the control unit 21 analyzes the output waveform of the acceleration detection means and compares it with a reference value or a reference waveform. Next, the process proceeds to step S105.

  In step S <b> 105, the control unit 21 determines whether the acceleration or detection sound output waveform is due to the firing of the bullet 60, and if the bullet 60 is fired, determines the type of the bullet 60. . Next, the process proceeds to step S106.

  In step S <b> 106, when it is determined that the bullet 60 is not fired, the control unit 21 determines whether or not to record the output waveform of the acceleration or the detected sound. Specifically, it is determined that the bullet 60 is not fired. Check that the output waveform is set to be recorded. If it is set to record (YES), the process proceeds to step S122, the determination result that the bullet 60 is not fired, the acquired acceleration or detection sound output waveform, or the acceleration or detection sound output waveform. The data obtained by digitizing the feature points is temporarily stored in the RAM 11.

  In addition, when the output waveform determined not to be the bullet 60 firing in step S105 is not set to record the output waveform in step S106 (NO) (not bullet 60 firing). If the determined output waveform is not recorded), the process proceeds to step S107. In step S107, the control unit 21 checks the recording mode of the output waveform. Specifically, it is checked whether the recording mode is a mode for recording every time (YES) or a mode for recording only at the time of change (NO).

  In step S107, if the recording mode is a mode (NO) set only at the time of change, the process proceeds to step S121. In step S121, the control unit 21 determines whether the bullet 60 is the same as the previous bullet, and if it is determined that the bullet 60 is the same as the previous bullet, the control unit 21 temporarily determines at least the type of the bullet 60 as the determination result. Is stored in the RAM 11.

  If it is determined in step S107 that the recording mode is a recording mode (YES), the process proceeds to step S108. In step S108, the control unit 21 temporarily stores in the RAM 11 at least the type of the bullet 60 and the output waveform of the acceleration or detected sound as the determination result.

  Finally, the process proceeds to step S109. In step S109, the control unit 21 acquires time data such as year / month / day / hour / minute / second from the RTC unit 25 and temporarily stores it in the RAM 11 described above. The recorded data is recorded and saved as a use history in the data storage unit 24 in association with the acquired time data.

  In the flowchart of this embodiment, the acceleration data detection step for detecting acceleration data corresponds to step S103. Further, the bullet firing determination step for determining whether or not bullet firing has been performed based on the output waveform and / or output value as acceleration data corresponds to step S105. When it is determined that the bullet has been fired, the recording step of associating the determination result with the time data and recording it as data in the data storage unit 24 corresponds to steps S107, S108, S109, and S121.

  In addition, the program for executing the acceleration data detection step, the bullet firing determination step, and the recording step is stored in the ROM 10 and executed by the control unit 21 (so-called computer) as described above. The shooting recorder 2 operates.

  According to the configuration of the shooting recorder 2 detailed above and the flowchart of the control method thereof, it is possible to record the use history of the gun 1 equipped with the shooting recorder 2. When the possession procedure of the gun 1 is updated, the shooting recorder 2 itself is replaced in the management organization of the gun 1, and the memory as the data storage unit 24 of the taken shooting recorder 2 is read by a PC (personal computer) or the like. Become. In that case, since the type of the bullet 60 used for the gun 1 is determined and recorded as a use history including the result, the gun 1 uses what bullet 60 at what time and how often. It is possible to know whether or not the gun 1 has been used properly.
