BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a time recorder, and more particularly to a time recorder adapted to be compatible with a shift 24-hour working system.
[0002]
[Prior art]
When using the time recorder, the work time, the leaving time, and the date change time (the time printing time switching time of the time card) are set by the administrator at the time of introduction. The date change time must be set at the time when the time printing stage does not change within one working hour even if overtime or early departure, for example, the specified working hours are 08: 30-17: In a workplace where the time is 00, the date change time is usually set at a time sufficiently away from the working hours, such as 03:00 or 04:00. There has also been proposed a time recorder in which the date change time is automatically set at a time away from the work time zone when the attendance time and the departure time are set (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In a conventional time recorder, one time in 24 hours is set as the date change time, but in a shift work place where 24 hours work by 2 shifts or 3 shifts, all 24 hours are working hours. Therefore, it is inevitable that the working hours of either two shifts or three shifts will take the date change time. Therefore, in the work hours required for the date change time, the inconvenience that the exit time is printed on the next day in the attendance time column in one work only by the normal exit time registration operation.
[0005]
Therefore, when using a time recorder in a 24-hour work place, each employee checks the date change time of the time recorder or the work time zone setting before stamping the time card at work. It is necessary to change the settings, and it takes time and labor to register attendance, and there is also a possibility that the settings are incorrect.
[0006]
Thus, a technical problem to be solved in order to reduce the labor for registering attendance at a shift work place arises, and the present invention aims to solve the above problem.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an example of a basic configuration of the time recorder 1, wherein 2 is a CPU, 3 is a clock IC, 4 is a ROM, and 5 is a RAM. The CPU 2 reads the time information from the clock IC 3, drives the display drive circuit 10 to display the current time, day of the week, date, etc. on the LED display 11, and displays setting items during various setting operations using the key switch 6. To do. The CPU 2 controls the motor drive circuit 12 to rotationally drive the card feed motor 13 in both forward and reverse directions, pulls in and out the time card, and controls the print head drive circuit 14 to print on the time card by the print head 15. To do.
[0010]
The CPU 2 is connected to a card insertion detection sensor 7 such as a micro switch or a photo interrupter, a card position detection sensor 8 such as a rotary encoder for detecting a time card feed amount, and a card ID code reading unit 9 using a photo interrupter. . A buzzer 16 emits a warning sound when an error occurs.
[0011]
The card ID code reading unit 9 operates in cooperation with the card position detection sensor 8, and when the time card with a punch hole is pulled in, the card position information by the card position detection sensor 8 and the card ID code reading unit 9 are detected by the light passing through the punch hole. A card ID code composed of a plurality of bits is acquired from the bit information. In addition, instead of the punched time card, a time card in which a card ID code is written with a bar code may be used, and the bar code may be read by a reflection type photo sensor in the time recorder.
[0012]
In addition, the time recorder 1 is provided with a USB interface 17 and a memory card reader / writer 18, and transfers data in RAM to a computer connected with a cable or a memory card inserted into a memory card slot and writes data to the RAM. Can do.
[0013]
The time recorder control program written in ROM 4 switches the date change time according to the individual monthly work schedule written in RAM 5, in addition to the usual functions of card drive, time printing and time counting If you have a control program and the working hours of the day of the time card inserted in the time recorder 1 is 08: 00-16: 30, for example, the date change time is 05:00, 16: 00-00: In the case of 30, the date change time is 13:00, and in the case of 00:00 to 08:30, the date change time is 21:00. As a result, in any working hours of the 24-hour / three-shift work, the date is not changed within the working hours and the leaving time is not printed on the next day in the working time column.
[0014]
When operating the time recorder 1, first, the manager will register the monthly work schedule of each employee to the time recorder 1 at the time of issuing the card to register a time card with punch holes for one month into the time card or after the issuance work. input. As a personal identification means of a time recorder, a method in which an individual card number is assigned to each employee and the employee and the card number are in a one-to-one relationship is generally used. In this case, when the time recorder is switched to the card issue mode, for example, when the card ID code of 50 punched time cards is read in sequence by the time recorder, numbers from 001 to 050 are printed on the 50 time cards. The card ID code of each time card and the unique card number are associated and written to the RAM 5 of the time recorder 1.
[0015]
Next, when the monthly working hours for 50 people assigned to the card numbers 001 to 050 are input to the time recorder 1, the card ID code and the individual monthly number are stored in each of the card number data 001 to 050 in RAM 5. The work time zone data is stored in association with each other. Then, the time card that has completed the issuing work is distributed to the employees, and the use of this time card is started from the first day of the period.
[0016]
Hereinafter, the operation of the time recorder will be described with reference to FIG. When the time recorder 1 is switched from the standby state to the setting mode by a key operation in the same manner as a general time recorder (step 101), various settings such as time adjustment, date change time setting, shift work setting and the like can be performed ( Step 111).
[0017]
When the time card is inserted into the card slot of the time recorder 1 (step 102), the time card is drawn by the card feed motor 13 (step 103), and the card ID code reading unit 9 is formed on the side edge of the time card. The card ID code by the punched hole is read (step 104).
[0018]
Then, it is checked whether or not the read card ID code is registered (step 105). If it is an unregistered ID code, the card feed motor 13 is driven in reverse to eject the time card and at the same time the LED display 11 A warning is displayed by displaying an error message or sounding the buzzer 16 (step 112).
[0019]
When the card ID code matches one of the card ID codes registered in the RAM 4 of the time recorder 1, the time data at the time of card insertion is stored in the data writing area corresponding to the card ID code and card number (step 106).
[0020]
Then, referring to the working time zone of the working time zone data associated with the card ID code, and applying the appropriate date change time for the working time zone as described above, the printing stage of the time card is determined. (Step 107). Subsequently, the card feed motor 13 is driven in reverse to feed the time card to the determined printing stage (step 108), the time is printed in the attendance column or the leaving column (step 109), and the time card is discharged (step 108). 110).
[0021]
For example, if the working hours on April 1 are from 00:00 to 08:30, registering for work at 23:45 on March 31, and registering for exit at 09:00 on April 1, The date change time at a time sufficiently away from work hours 00:00 to 08:30, for example, 21:00 is applied, 3/31 23:45 is printed in the attendance column of the 4/01 stage of the time card, Print 4/01 09:00 in the exit column on the same day. Therefore, unlike a conventional time changer with a fixed date change time, it will not be printed in the 3/31 stage attendance column at 23:45 and the 4/01 stage exit column at 09:00. Also, there is no need for each employee to change the date setting.
[0022]
In this example, the individual monthly working time zone data is input to the time recorder 1 and the time recorder 1 selects or automatically sets the date change time for the working time zone from the working time zone data by the control program and applies it. In addition, an appropriate date change time is determined for each of a plurality of working hours (for example, A, B, C) and stored in the RAM 5 of the time recorder 1, and the code data A, B, By inputting C, the date change time corresponding to each of the code data A, B, and C may be selected. In addition, the process of determining the date change time for each day from the work schedule is performed on the management computer, and the date change time data for each employee for one month is directly input from the computer to the time recorder. The date change time input and application means are not particularly limited.
[0023]
FIG. 3 shows another embodiment, where C is a time card, h is a punch hole provided in the time card C, 21 is an RFID clip, and 31 is a time recorder. The RFID clip 21 has a known sheet-type or coin-type RFID tag 23 attached to the inside or back of a resin clip 22 that can be attached to and detached from the time card C. The administrator uses an RFID reader / writer in advance. Write to the RFID tag 23 of the RFID clip 21 the monthly work time zone data by individual, or the work time zone code data for one month for specifying the date change time or the date change time data directly as described above. Distribute to the person. The RFID clip 21 can write the name, employee code number, clip number, etc. on the front, the administrator or employee himself / herself writes the name, etc., and attaches the RFID clip 21 to the upper end of the time card C to work / Used to register for work leave.
[0024]
As shown in FIG. 4, the time recorder 31 incorporates an RFID reader / writer 19 in addition to the configuration of the time recorder 1 of FIG. 1, and is attached to the time card C when the time card C is inserted into the card slot. The data related to the date change time can be read from the RFID tag 23 of the RFID clip 21 and the data can be written to the RFID tag 23.
[0025]
FIG. 5 is an operation flowchart of the time recorder 31 in FIG. 4. When the card ID code of the inserted time card is read and the card ID code is registered by checking the card ID code, the card ID code and the card The steps until the time data is stored in the data writing area corresponding to the number (steps 201 to 206) are the same as those in the flowchart of FIG. When the time card is completely pulled in, the RFID reader / writer 19 reads the working time zone data of the day from the RFID tag 23 of the RFID clip 21 (step 207), and the appropriate date change time for the working time zone is read. Is applied to determine the time card printing stage (step 208), the time card feed amount is controlled (step 209), the time is printed (step 210), and the time card is ejected (step 211).
[0026]
Or, when you insert the first time card in the time counting period, you may be able to read all the monthly working hours data from the RFID clip 21 and write it to the RAM, but do not save the data in the RAM and work from the RFID clip 21 each time on the day Reading the time zone data and performing the printing stage determination process does not require a large-capacity memory in the time recorder, so that the memory cost of the time recorder can be reduced.
[0027]
Also, the card number is written to the RFID clip 21 in addition to the monthly working hours data, and the time recorder verifies the combination of the time card and the RFID clip 21 by checking the card number of the time card and the card number of the RFID clip 21. By configuring the program to make a determination, it is possible to prevent erroneous registration of working time data when the combination of the time card and the RFID clip 21 is changed.
[0028]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the technical scope of the present invention, and it is natural that the present invention extends to those modifications.
[0029]
【The invention's effect】
The time recorder of the present invention refers to the working time data and date change time data written in the memory and the RFID tag attached to the time card when the time card is inserted. The date change time is selected, so even if you are working 24 hours a day, the shift time is not affected by any work time zone, and the departure time is the same as the one work time. It is printed in one row, and the leaving time is not printed in the next row after the attendance time.
Therefore, unlike the case where a conventional time card is used in a 24-hour workplace, there is no need for each employee to confirm and change the date change time setting of the time recorder at the time of attendance registration, and the possibility of erroneous settings is also eliminated. .
