Description

  The present invention relates to a recorder, and more particularly to a recorder having the characteristics of both a paper recorder and a paperless recorder.

Recorders in the prior art measure temperature, DC voltage, etc. at factories, etc., and write the measurement data to recording paper, or save it in memory means such as a memory IC, and are used for data confirmation and storage Is well known.

  As shown in FIG. 10, a paper recorder for printing measurement data on a recording paper, for example, an analog-digital converter (ADC) 13 that inputs measurement data as analog data and converts it into digital data, and a specific application An ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) 14 that takes in and processes the digital data converted by the analog-to-digital converter 13, and a CPU 15 that connects to the ASIC 14 to take in predetermined data and process a predetermined program A volatile memory IC 16 for storing processed data, a sub-display 41 connected to the CPU 15 for displaying processed data, a positioning mechanism 42 for positioning the recording paper 44 in response to an instruction from the ASIC 14, and a positioning mechanism A recording mechanism 43 to be recorded on the recording paper 44 positioned at 2, consisting of the recording paper 44.

In such a configuration, the measured analog data is input to the ADC 13, converted into digital data, and then subjected to specific processing in the ASIC 14 to generate output data. The output data is positioned by the positioning mechanism 42. The data is printed on the recording paper 44 at the specified position and output.
The data thus measured is displayed on the recording paper 44.

On the other hand, a paperless paperless recorder, as shown in FIG. 11, has an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) 13 that inputs measurement data, which is analog data, and converts it into digital data, and an ASIC equipped with a specific application. (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) 14, a CPU 15 that processes a predetermined program, a volatile memory IC 16 that stores data required by the CPU 15, and a display 45 that forms a display unit such as measurement data and digital display, It comprises a non-volatile memory IC 18 for recording processed measurement data.
The display device 45 is, for example, a liquid crystal display device, and includes a VFD (fluorescent display tube), an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), or the like.

Analog data measured in such a configuration is input to the ADC 13, converted into digital data, and then subjected to specific processing in the ASIC 14 to generate output data. The output data is stored in the nonvolatile memory IC 18. In addition, the output data can be displayed on the display unit 45 as appropriate.

However, in the paper recorder described in the related art, there is a problem that it is difficult to distinguish between past data and current data when the recording paper is reused. There is a problem that the latest recording cannot be performed when it runs out, and there is a problem that auxiliary supplies such as recording paper need to be stocked and replaced.
Also, in paperless recorders, it is not common to be able to remove the display of the paperless recorder, and even if it is present, the indicator itself is heavy and bulky, or it can be written easily like a recording paper. In addition, there is a problem that when the display range of the display is exceeded, it is necessary to perform operations such as changing the time axis and scrolling the screen.

  Accordingly, there is a problem to be solved by a so-called recorder having both the characteristics of a paper recorder and a paperless recorder, which eliminates the disadvantages of the paper recorder and the disadvantages of the paperless recorder.

  In order to solve the above problems, the recorder of the present invention has the following configuration.

(1) recording means for converting measurement data input from the outside into digital data and recording it in a memory;
Display means for displaying digital data recorded by the recording means on a display;
A recorder equipped with
The recording device is characterized in that the display means is configured to be detachable from the main body of the recording meter and is configured to be a foldable display.
(2) The display unit is housed by being bent inward so as to be expanded when removed from the main body of the recorder, and the display range is changed in accordance with the bent state. Recorder.
(3) The recorder according to (1) or (2), wherein the display unit includes an operation unit that can be operated even when the display unit is detached from the main body.

In the present invention, the display means for displaying the digital data recorded by the recording means is configured to be detachable and has a memory means for storing the same data as the digital data recorded by the recording means. As a result, it is possible to reduce the number of auxiliary items such as recording paper and ink to be printed on the recording paper, which has been conventionally required.
In addition, the measured data is stored in the nonvolatile memory IC, and the stored data can be displayed on a display that is appropriately folded, so that the data can be stored for a long time and the recorded data can be folded. Visibility can be improved by expanding and displaying the display.
Furthermore, by adopting a structure in which the display unit is detachable, it is possible to obtain data that is easy to use because it is possible to view data measured at a required place after being detached from the recorder.

  Next, an embodiment of a recorder according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and demonstrated to the same thing as what was demonstrated by the prior art.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the recorder of the first embodiment of the present invention has the same signal processing mechanism and measurement data storage configuration as those of the conventional paperless recorder. Is a display that is fixed to the main unit, and the main display uses a foldable display. Like the paper recorder, the measured value can be confirmed on the sub display even when the main display is removed. It has become. In addition, the measurement data is stored continuously in the internal nonvolatile memory IC regardless of the presence or absence of the main display.

As shown in FIG. 3, the structure of the recorder having such characteristics is divided into a recorder main body part 11 and a detachable part 12, and measurement data which is analog data is input to the recorder main body part 11.

Further, the pen-type pointing device 28 connected to the pointing device circuit 21 is used to enable writing on the screen of the foldable display 24.

  Further, the display range of the foldable display 24 is changed according to the bent state. When it is bent and attached to the main body, it displays on the visible part of the main body surface, and when it is removed from the main body and spreads, it displays on the entire display. The display range can be switched by detecting a state in which the foldable indicator 24 is attached to or detached from the main body, or by detecting a bent state.

With such a structure, recording paper, ink for printing on the recording paper, and the like are not necessary, and so-called auxiliary supplies can be reduced.
In addition, since the input data can be stored in the nonvolatile memory IC 25 and displayed on the display unit 24 that can be bent as appropriate, the visibility of long-term data can be improved.
Furthermore, by adopting a structure in which the display unit is detachable, it is possible to obtain data that is easy to use because it is possible to view data measured at a required place after being detached from the recorder.
