Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the testing efficiency of a measuring instrument by providing a control means which restores data in a saving storage area to a main storage area so as to restart measurement interrupted by an interruption when an interruption canceling signal is outputted. CONSTITUTION:When an interrupt button 27 is pressed, an interrupt signal is outputted and all data of the test results obtained so far about lot test being executed are saved to the saving storage area of a RAM 23. Then the button 27 is pressed again after completing an urgent lot test, an interruption canceling signal is outputted and the data being saved to the saving storage area of the RAM 23 are transferred to a main storage area. Therefore, after completing the interrupting test, the interrupted normal lot tests can be continued easily on the remaining test pieces without resetting testing conditions. Thus the testing efficiency can be improved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A. Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an interrupt control device for a measuring device, and particularly to a device for interrupting measurement of a certain lot in progress, measuring another lot, and then restarting the measurement device. This allows you to continue measuring the previous lot.

B. Conventional technology Conventionally, when a currently ongoing test on a certain lot is temporarily suspended and a test is performed on an urgent lot, for example, the test conditions for the urgent test lot and the dimensions and shape of test pieces for 10 tons are determined. Reset the data etc. about
The test is conducted according to these setting conditions.

C1 Problem to be solved by the invention In this case, new data such as test conditions for a lot that is urgently needed is newly set, so after the test is completed, in order to restart the previous test that was interrupted, a new test must be performed. The test conditions for the previous lot must be reset. Therefore, the test work becomes complicated and the test efficiency decreases.

Further, when test conditions and the like for a new lot are set, data such as the test conditions for the previous lot and data indicating the test results disappear from the screen, and only various data regarding the test for the new lot are displayed.

For this reason, it was not possible to know various data related to the test of the previous lot during the test of the new lot 1~, making it inconvenient to use.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an interrupt control device for a measuring device that is capable of performing another measurement upon interruption without requiring complicated operations.

To explain with reference to FIG. Storage area A
A storage means RAM 23 for storing data inputted from the input means 28 and data representing measurement results, a display means 33 for displaying these data, and a display means 33 for generating an interrupt signal and an interrupt release signal by manual operation. The signal output means 27 generates the interrupt signal, and when the interrupt signal is output, the data stored in the main memory area MM is saved to the save memory area AM, and the data newly inputted by the input means 28 and the measurement results after the interrupt are sent. The data in the measurement before the interrupt, which is saved in the save memory area AM, is displayed on the display means 33 together with the data shown in FIG. By providing the control means 20 that allows the measurement to be continued after being interrupted by the above, the two problems are solved.

E1 action One day, prior to gutter measurement, data regarding the sample to be measured, such as the measurement conditions and the size and shape of the test piece, are inputted from the input means 28. This data is stored in the main memory area MM.

When measurement starts, data indicating the measurement results are also stored in the main memory area M.
Stored in M. When an interrupt signal is output, for example, by operating an interrupt button during this lot measurement, the data of the lot measurement before the interruption, that is, the data stored in the main memory area MM, is saved to the save memory area AM.

When data such as measurement conditions for another measurement after the interrupt is inputted from the input means 28, the data is stored in the main memory area M.
M and displayed on the display means 33. At this time,
The display means 33 also displays various data regarding the measurement of the interrupt Mi+, that is, data stored in the save storage area AM. When the measurement is started, data indicating the result of the measurement after the interruption is also stored in the main memory area MM.

When the interrupt measurement is completed and the interrupt release signal is output,
Various data stored in the save storage area AM are transferred to the main storage area MM. Therefore, it is possible to continue an interrupted measurement from the halfway point without having to set new measurement conditions or the like.

In the above-mentioned sections and section E, which provide detailed explanations of the present invention, each component is given the reference numeral of the embodiment in order to make the present invention easier to understand. However, this does not mean that the present invention is limited to the embodiment. do not have.

F. Embodiment An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a tensile testing machine will be described based on FIGS. 2 to 5.

FIG. 2 is an overall configuration diagram of the embodiment. In the figure, the microcomputer 20 is shown as ■Current tips l-

23, an input device 24 that interfaces with a detection device of the material testing machine, and an output device 25 that interfaces with a display device, etc., and these are connected to the CPU 2 via a bus 26.

Connected to the input device 24 of the microcomputer 20 are keyboards I to 28 equipped with an interrupt button 27, a load cell 30 and an extension I31 installed in a material testing machine 29. When the interrupt button 27 is operated once, an interrupt signal is output, and when it is operated again, an interrupt release signal is output, and an interrupt command and termination command for the emergency lot test are given. Connected to the output device 25 are a printer 40 that prints data such as test results, test conditions, and lot numbers, and a display device 33 that displays the same content as the printer 40.

The material testing machine 29 includes a frame body 35 erected on a base 34, and a pair of threaded rods 36 are rotatable between the base 34 and a cross yoke 35a horizontally suspended on the frame body 35-1-. Both ends of a crosshead 37 are screwed into the pair of studs 36. Then, the upper gripper 38 attached to the crosshead 37 via the row 1 to the cell 30 and the lower gripper 39 fixed to the base 34 grip both ends of the test piece 40, and -
By rotating the pair of tension rods 36, the cross heel F 37 is raised to load the test piece 40. At this time, load cell 3
0 and the output signals of the extensometer 31- are taken into the CPU 2 through the input device 24.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained in flowchart 1-- shown in FIG.
Explain with reference to.

Suppose that an urgent request for a lot test of a material occurs while the monthly testing machine 29 is performing a tensile test on a certain lot of material. Accordingly, when the operator presses the interrupt button 27 on the keyboard 28, an interrupt signal is output, and in step S1, the CPU 2 temporarily interrupts the currently executing normal rono I~ test process and restarts the normal test process. Set the lot test mode to emergency lot test mode. Then, in the next step S2, the CPU 21 gives a paper feed command to the printer 40 through the output device 25, and feeds the form 4 to a predetermined position. Usually, this type of form 4
As shown in FIG. 5, perforations 41p are formed in each sheet area to make it easier to cut out. When the interrupt is released, feed until the next perforation 4]-p passes through the printing section. For example, as shown in FIG.
If the test result data Data is recorded, an interrupt signal causes the next perforation 4.1. feed to p,
Transfer test result data Data 2 to emergency locker 1
~Record from area 4-1b.

When this paper feeding process is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S3, in which the test results of the normal lot test collected in the RAM 23 up to the point of interruption and accompanying data such as test conditions, number of lots, or dimensions of each test piece are stored. The data is temporarily saved from the main storage area, which is the data collection area, to the evacuation storage area.

Next, proceed to step S4, and enter data such as test conditions and lot number or test piece dimensions for the test from emergency day 1 through the keyboard 28, and enter "2 A M".
23 main storage area. These data are displayed on the display device 33. At this time, it is preferable to display an interrupt test on the screen. After that, the test piece of the first loop was grasped by the second part and lower gripping tool 38° 39 of the material testing machine 29, and the test was carried out using the emergency tips 1, and the test results were collected in the main memory area of the RAM 23. do(
Step S5). This test result is recorded in a new sheet area.

In the next step S6, the emergency lock 1 to
The test result data is displayed on the display device 33 through the output device 25.
is displayed as shown in FIG. At this time, the data stored in the save storage area of the RAM 23, ie, various data regarding the test of the previous lot, are displayed in multiple formats on the screen of the display device 33 as shown by reference numeral 33a. Then, in the next step S7, it is determined whether the emergency roso I test has been completed. This is determined based on the interrupt release signal output when the operator operates the interrupt button 27 again. "NO" here
In this case, the process returns to step S5 and monitoring is continued until the emergency lot test is completed.

If it is determined in step S7 that the emergency lot I test has been completed, the process proceeds to step S8, and the data indicating the lot processing results of the emergency lot I test, such as the average value and standard deviation, are collected as shown in FIG. The data is recorded in the form of a table, such as data Data 2 of Sea 1 to Area 4-1 c. After that, the processing step proceeds to step S9, and by giving an end command to the printer 40 from the CPU 2, the sheets 1 to 4]-c printed at the time of the emergency lot test are converted to 1 sheet 1-c.
(up to the next perforation) in the same manner as described in step S2 above, so that the next printer 40 prints data from the new sheet I/area 4 ], d.

Furthermore, in step SIO, the test results of the normal lot up to the point of interruption are saved in the save storage area of the RAM 23, and data on the test conditions, number of lots, or dimensions of each test piece are saved in the RA, M2S. The data is returned to the main storage area, which is the data collection area.

At the same time, these data are displayed on the display device 33.

At this time, it is displayed that the interrupt has been canceled, and
It is convenient to use if the number of the test piece to be restarted is displayed.

Then, in the next step S11, the interrupted test for the remaining LONO I is continued. As a result, the result data Da
al is recorded in the form of a graph.

In step S12, it is determined whether the remaining Roso I-test has been completed, and if it is determined that it has been completed, step S13
Moving on to Tip 1 - Processing, namely the average tensile strength of the test specimens in j lot groups.

The average elongation rate, the deviation from the standard value, etc. are calculated and recorded in the form of a table as shown in the sheet area 4.1e of FIG. Note that for the same Japanese-Soviet 1-1 test, graphs and tables may be recorded across the perforations. Furthermore, if information to the effect that an interrupt has been applied or canceled is printed on each sheet area, it will be easier to organize the data after the test.

As shown in ``2'' above, when the interrupt button 27 is pressed, an interrupt signal is output, and all data such as test results for the Rono I test being executed up to that point are saved to the save storage area of the RAM 23, and the emergency lot is saved. After the test is over, press the interrupt button 27 again.
When the interrupt release signal is output by operating the The test can be easily continued from the remaining test piece to the interrupted normal lot 1 without any operation, improving the efficiency of this type of test.

In addition, during the emergency lot 1~ test, it is now possible to display the results of the interrupted normal lot tests on the same display screen, so you can know the intermediate results and test conditions of the normal lot tests even during an interruption. This improves usability.

Furthermore, in the event of suspension of normal lot testing and emergency lot testing,
- At the end of the test, the printer 40 sent the form to the next perforation so that it would always print from the new sheet 1 area. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, data Data 1 of the normal lot I test and data D a t, a 2 of the emergency lot test are placed in one sea 1 area divided by the perforation 41p. 71 and are not printed, making it easier to file the form after the test.

In addition, in the embodiment described in item 1, only the tensile test was described, but the present invention is not limited to this, but can also be applied to compression 9 bending and other tests. Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to other testing machines such as viscometers and hardness meters, as well as various measuring devices such as analyzers.

In the configuration of the above embodiment, the RAM 23 constitutes a storage means, and among the control circuit 20, especially the CPU 21 and the ROM 2
2 constitutes a control means. Furthermore, the interrupt button 27 constitutes a signal output means, the keyboard 28 constitutes a data input means, and the display device 33 constitutes a display means.

G1 Effects of the Invention The present invention is configured as described below, so by operating an interrupt button or the like, the execution of day 1 to 1 of the emergency day 1 can be interrupted.
- Even if a measurement is performed, it is normal after the end of the test 1 - Tips for easily restarting the measurement and interrupting the interrupted measurement 1 - Multiply measurement results etc. on the same display screen Since it can be displayed, an easy-to-use measuring device is provided.
