Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a structure of issuing the driving command of an engine so as to prevent forgetting to carry a license by forming a driving license into an IC card and obtaining an AND condition of the signals of the data read out from the card and the starting signals from an engine starting switch. CONSTITUTION:An engine starting switch 3 is turned to the starting position in the state of having an IC card 1 which can be a driving license drawn into a card information processing device 2, the readout data of the IC card 1 and a start signal from the switch 3 are inputted into a discriminating device 6. The discriminating device 6 checks whether or not the IC card is of a pre- registrant, and if it is of the registrant, the discriminating device 6 further discriminates whether or not the license is suspended or the validity of the license is expired. If the license and the validity of the license are justified, the AND condition of the signals from the switch 3 and the processing device 2 is obtained, and driving signals are outputted into the driving circuit 5 of the engine 4. The driving circuit 5 actuates the engine only when it receives the driving signals from the discriminating device 6.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a starting device for engines mounted on aircraft, ships, and vehicles.

[Conventional technology]

When operating an aircraft, ship, or vehicle, it is mandatory to carry a driver's license. On the other hand, from a mechanical point of view, the structure is such that even if the driver's license is not carried, the engine can be started by operating the engine start switch.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Because of the conventional structure described above, there were times when people forgot to carry their driver's license, which is required by law.

An object of the present invention is to provide an engine starting device that solves the above problems.

[Differences between the invention and the prior art]

In contrast to the conventional engine starting device described above, the present invention converts a driver's license into an IC card and performs an AND condition between the data signal read from the card and the start signal from the engine starting switch, thereby starting the engine. The difference is that it issues a drive command.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the engine starting device according to the present invention uses an IC card that can write/read necessary data including information to be written on a driver's license carried when operating an aircraft, ship, or vehicle. and a card information processing device that writes/reads data on the IC card.
An AND condition between a start signal output from a start switch of an engine mounted on the aircraft, ship, or vehicle and an output signal of data read by the card information processing device causes the engine drive circuit to start driving. and means for outputting a signal.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, the present invention includes an IC card 1 capable of writing/reading data including information to be written on a driver's license carried when operating an aircraft, ship, or vehicle. The IC card 1 contains the type of driver's license.

Necessary data such as the owner's name, driver's license renewal date, traffic record, the person's blood type, home and work phone numbers, and operating hours and operation records required for aircraft and ships. Input.

Furthermore, a card information processing device 2 writes and reads data to and from the IC card 1, a start signal output from the start switch 3 of the engine 4, and data read from the IC card 1 by the card information processing bag @2. A discriminating device 6 that outputs a drive signal to the drive circuit 5 of the engine 4 according to the AND condition of the output signal, and a display device (LCD) 7 that displays necessary data output from the discriminating device 6. There is. Further, in the discrimination device 6, names of persons involved in the operation of aircraft, ships, and vehicles equipped with the engine starting device according to the present invention are registered in advance.

In the embodiment, when the IC card 1 serving as a driver's license is inserted into the card information processing device 2 and the engine start switch 3 is turned to the engine start position, the discriminating device 6 detects that the card information processing device 2 to IC card 1
The read data and the start signal from the start switch 3 are input. The identification device 6 checks whether the IC card 1 is a registered person's IC card 1, and if it is the registered person's IC card 1, the next step is to check if the IC card 1 is a registered person's IC card 1. If the conditions do not apply, an AND condition is performed on the signals from the starting switch 3 and the card information processing device 2, and a drive signal is output to the drive circuit 5 of the engine 4. The drive circuit 5 starts the engine 4 only when receiving a drive signal from the discrimination device 6.

Furthermore, when the start switch 3 is returned to the engine stop position, the AND condition in the discriminator 6 is broken, so the drive signal is no longer output to the drive circuit 5, and the engine 4 is stopped.

On the other hand, the discriminator 6 detects when the license is suspended or expired.
In the case of another person's license, a driving prohibition display is displayed on the display device 7, and no drive signal is issued.

It becomes impossible to start engine 4.

Further, when the discrimination device 6 receives a control signal from the outside, in the case of displaying the driver's license renewal period, it displays a blue display six months before, a yellow display three months before, and a red display one month before. Furthermore, it displays the person's blood type, home and work phone numbers, number of demerit points for traffic charges, etc., and also outputs the necessary data to be written in the IC cart 1 to the card information processing device 2. The IC card 1 is processed by the card information processing device 2.
write the necessary data.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the present invention, since the engine cannot be started unless the driver's license is in possession, the obligation to carry the driver's license can be complied with, and the renewal period of the driver's license is displayed in different colors on the display device. Therefore, drivers can check their own renewal period at any time, which not only prevents them from forgetting to renew, but also allows them to display necessary data.

Furthermore, since the driver's license is required to start the car's engine, it is effective in preventing theft.
