However, in the conventional gauge tool, a plurality of reference gauges having a predetermined measurement range are fixedly attached, and when the measurement range extends over the reference gauges of the plurality of gauge tools, a plurality of gauge tools are installed in advance. It is necessary to prepare and replace multiple gauge tools for each measurement. Therefore, depending on the measurement range, the measurement work is complicated, and there is a problem that the measurement work load on the measurement worker may be increased.

In addition, when measuring using gauge tools of different types of reference gauges, the mechanism of the gauge tool body is also different, so the operation of reading gauge information is often different, and from this point as well, the measurement work required by the measurement worker. The load may increase.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gauge tool and an information processing system capable of reducing a measurement workload.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the object, the present invention is a gauge tool capable of reading gauge information of a selected reference gauge using a plurality of reference gauges of different sizes, and each reference gauge is attached and detached. A plurality of measuring plates having a mounting portion that can be mounted and to which the plurality of reference gauges are mounted, and the plurality of measuring plates rotatably held around a shaft, and a storage position of the measuring plates. When the selected reference gauge is determined, the rotated measurement plate is specified. It is provided with a main body unit that reads the gauge information of the selected reference gauge and outputs it to the outside.

Further, in the above invention, in the above invention, the main body unit is a plate identification unit that identifies the measurement plate that is rotated about the axis, and a measurement instruction that instructs reading of gauge information of the selected reference gauge.

The measurement plate to which the reference gauge is attached is specified, and the information of the specified measurement plate is converted into the gauge information of the selected reference gauge based on the corresponding table and output to the outside. You may do so.

Hereinafter, the gauge tool and the information processing system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the attached drawings.

<Overview structure>
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an outline configuration of a gauge tool 1 according to the present embodiment. Further, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the main body 2 of the gauge tool 1 shown in FIG. Further, FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the measurement plate of the gauge tool 1 shown in FIG. The gauge tool 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 is provided with a ball gauge 5 as a reference gauge. Further, FIGS. 1 and 3 show a state in which the ball gauge 5c is selected from the plurality of ball gauges 5 (5a to 5f). Further, in FIG. 3, the identification operation of the selected ball gauge 5c is also described.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, in the gauge tool 1, a plurality of measurement plates 3 (3a to 3f) are rotatably held around a shaft 9 of the main body 2. Shaft holes 13a to 13f are formed at one ends of the plurality of measurement plates 3a to 3f, respectively, and the shaft 9 is inserted into the shaft holes 13a to 13f. The measurement plates 3a to 3f are stacked at the storage position E during non-measurement. The storage position E is a space surrounded by the upper portion 2a, the bottom portion 2b, and the side portion 2c.

A recess 4 is formed at the other end of each of the measuring plates 3a to 3f. A plurality of ball gauges 5 (5a to 5f) having different sizes can be detachably attached to the recess 4 of each measurement plate 3 by the mounting bracket 7. The recess 4 and the mounting bracket 7 are mounting portions. The base of the ball gauge 5 is attached to the recess 4 via the mounting bracket 7, for example, with a screw or the like. Since the ball gauge 5 is attached to the recess 4, it does not interfere with the rotation of each measurement plate 3 and does not affect it. The tips of each ball gauge 5 (5a-5f) have balls 6 (6a-6f) of different sizes. At the time of measurement, the ball 6 is inserted into a gap or the like of the measurement target.

<Identification of the rotated measurement plate>
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the upper portion 2a has light emitting portions 11 (11a to 11f), and the bottom portion 2b emits light La to Lf from the light emitting portions 11 (11a to 11f) toward the bottom portion 2b, respectively. Each has a light receiving unit 12 (12a to 12f) that receives light.

As shown in FIG. 3, each of the measuring plates 3a to 3f has a plurality of identification holes 8 formed corresponding to the arrangement patterns of the light emitting portions 11a to 11f and the light receiving portions 12a to 12f. The patterns of the identification holes 8 of the measuring plates 3a to 3f are different in order to identify the measuring plates 3a to 3f. The measuring plate 3a is formed with five identification holes 8 that block only the light La at the storage position E and allow the other lights Lb to Lf to pass through. Similarly, each of the measuring plates 3b to 3f is formed with five identification holes 8 having a pattern in which only the light Lb to Lf is shielded at the storage position E and the other light is transmitted.

Therefore, when all the measuring plates 3a to 3f are present at the storage position E, all the light La to Lf are blocked by the measuring plates 3a to 3f, and all the light receiving portions 12a to 12f are turned off.

Here, as shown in FIG. 3, when the measuring plate 3c rotates around the shaft hole 13c (shaft 9), all the light La to Lf is transmitted at the storage position E of the measuring plate 3c. That is, since the measuring plate 3c does not block the light Lc, only the light receiving portion 12c receives the light Lc and is turned on. As a result, the rotated measurement plate 3c is specified.

The gauge information of the ball gauges 5a to 5f attached to the measuring plates 3a to 3f is stored in advance in association with the measuring plates 3a to 3f, respectively, and the ball gauge selected by specifying the measuring plates 3a to 3f. Gauge information can be read.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a measurement instruction button 10 is provided on the surface of the upper portion 2a of the main body 2. When the selected ball gauge 5 is finally determined, the measurement operator presses the measurement instruction button 10 in a state where the measurement plate 3 to which the ball gauge 5 is attached is rotated. When the measurement instruction button 10 is pressed, the main body 2 emits light from the light emitting unit 11 and receives light from the light receiving unit 12, and the measurement plate 3 is rotated based on the light receiving result of the light receiving unit 12. To identify. Then, the main body 2 reads the gauge information of the ball gauge 5 attached to the specified measuring plate 3 and outputs it to the outside.

<Configuration of information processing system including gauge tool>
Next, the configuration of the control system of the information processing system 101 including the gauge tool 1 will be described. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a control system of the information processing system 101 including the gauge tool 1. As shown in FIG. 4, the information processing system 101 includes a gauge tool 1 and an information processing device 100.

The gauge tool 1 includes a measurement instruction button 10, an identification unit 13 having a light emitting unit 11 and a light receiving unit 12, a battery 14, a transmitting unit 15, a storage unit 16, and a control unit 17. The battery 14 supplies power to the control unit 17 and each unit connected to the control unit 17.

The storage unit 16 has a correspondence table D1. The correspondence table D1 is a correspondence table that stores the correspondence between each measurement plate 3 and the gauge information of the ball gauge 5 attached to each measurement plate 3.

The control unit 17 is a control unit that controls the entire gauge tool 1, and includes a conversion unit 18 and a transmission processing unit 19. The conversion unit 18 converts the information of the measurement plate 3 specified by the identification unit 13 into the gauge information of the ball gauge 5 attached to the specified measurement plate 3 with reference to the correspondence table D1.

In the correspondence table D1, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the diameters (gauge information) of the balls 6a to 6f of the ball gauges 5a to 5f attached to the measurement plates 3a to 3f correspond to the measurement plates 3a to 3f. It is attached and remembered. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, when the conversion unit 18 receives the information of the measurement plate 3c specified from the identification unit 13, the conversion unit 18 refers to the correspondence table D1 and specifies the information of the specified measurement plate 3c. It is converted into the diameter of the ball 6c of the ball gauge 5c attached to the measuring plate 3c (gauge information: 0.3 mm).

The transmission processing unit 19 transmits gauge information, which is the diameter of the converted ball 6, to the information processing device 100 via the transmission unit 15.

On the other hand, the information processing apparatus 100 automatically inputs the gauge information transmitted from the gauge tool 1 as data in the form D2 at a predetermined position in the form D2. The information processing device 100 includes a display unit 21, an input unit 22, a storage unit 23 for storing the form D2, a reception unit 24, and a control unit 25.

The input unit 22 is an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse, and the display unit 21 is a display device such as a liquid crystal panel and a display device. The receiving unit 24 is a communication device that receives transmission data from the gauge tool 1. The transmitting unit 15 and the receiving unit 24 are devices that perform short-range wireless communication such as WiFi (registered trademark). The control unit 25 is a control device that controls the entire information processing device 100, and performs a form D2 generation process.

The control unit 25 receives the gauge information transmitted from the gauge tool 1 via the reception unit 24, and performs a process of automatically inputting the gauge information as data at a predetermined position on the form D2. In this automatic input, when the measurement order is determined, the received gauge information is input to the position corresponding to the measurement order. If the measurement order is not determined, the received gauge information is stored in the form D2 in the reception order.

In the above embodiment, the ball gauge 5 has been described as an example of the reference gauge, but a reference gauge other than the ball gauge 5 can be attached to each measurement plate 3. For example, a thickness gauge or a ring gauge can be attached to each measuring plate 3. Further, various reference gauges can be mixedly attached to each measurement plate 3. For example, a ball gauge and a thickness gauge can be mixed and attached.

Further, although the mounting portion of the above embodiment is designed to mount the reference gauge using the mounting bracket 7, any method can be adopted as the detachable mounting mechanism. For example, the base of the reference gauge may be attached to the measuring plate 3 by screwing a screw, or the base of the reference gauge may be clamped with one touch.

Further, although the identification unit 13 has specified the measurement plate 3 by using light, the measurement plate 3 may be specified by another method. For example, the shaft 9 may be provided with a click mechanism for individually detecting the rotation of each measurement plate 3, and the measurement plate 3 may be specified by clicking the click mechanism.

According to the configuration of the present embodiment, since a plurality of reference gauges required for measurement can be attached and detached, it is possible to easily customize a plurality of reference gauges for one gauge tool according to the measurement work site. Since the reading operation is the same even when the type of the reference gauge is different, the measurement work load on the measurement worker can be reduced. In addition, the gauge information of the selected reference gauge is output externally by a simple operation of simply pressing the measurement start button and automatically incorporated into a form, etc., which also reduces the measurement workload on the measurement worker. be able to.

It should be noted that each configuration shown in the above-described embodiment is a schematic function, and does not necessarily have to be physically shown. That is, the form of distribution / integration of each device is not limited to the one shown in the figure, and all or part of the device is functionally or physically distributed / integrated in an arbitrary unit according to various loads and usage conditions. Can be configured.

The gauge tool and information processing system of the present invention are useful when reducing the measurement workload using the gauge tool.
