CONSTITUTION:A liquid crystal display device LCD 2 is arranged to the upper part of a casing 1 composed of a synthetic resin as a transmission type liquid crystal panel. The casing 1 in which the transmission type liquid crystal panel 2, a solar cell 3, a printed circuit board 4 or a sensor 5 are integrally incorporated can be formed into a shape small-sized as a whole. When the casing 1 is mounted to the outside of window glass 6, the solar cell 3 is used as a power supply to start operation. The signals of atmospheric temp., humidity, sunshine or atmospheric pressure detected by the sensor 5 are operated so as to be corrected as the weather data in the periphery of the arranged place by an operation circuit in the printed circuit board 4 and sent to the liquid crystal display device 2 to display atmospheric temp., humidity, sunshine or atmospheric pressure.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a simple weather meter that can display weather information around the installation location, and in particular, it can be installed on the outdoor side of a building such as a window, and can be installed on the outside of a building such as a window to monitor the temperature around the area. This invention relates to a simple weather meter that allows humidity, sunlight, atmospheric pressure, etc. to be easily read even from indoors.

[Prior Art J] Conventionally, meteorological observation has been carried out using large-scale measurements and attached equipment, installed in a wide installation location determined in consideration of the environment, etc.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In such weather observation, instruments are required to obtain various types of weather information, and in order to take into account the installation location and environment, it is necessary to install them at a specific location. become. Weather information from newspapers, TV, radio, etc. is created based on the weather data obtained at such locations, and is provided as information over a relatively wide area, so it is possible to check the actual weather at the observation point and the area you want to know. The current situation is that conditions often differ. Furthermore, even in the vicinity of the actual observation points mentioned above, weather conditions often vary depending on the topography or surrounding building conditions, making it difficult for those involved to easily and accurately obtain the weather information they need. There was a problem.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the conventional technology, and it is possible to easily obtain weather information in the area where it is needed, and also to be able to know it while staying inside a building. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a simple weather meter with

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the simple weather meter of the present invention includes a sensor that detects weather information such as outside temperature, humidity, sunlight, and atmospheric pressure, and each information from the sensor. an arithmetic circuit that receives the signal and corrects the information signal to match the weather information around the location where the sensor is installed; and a transmissive liquid crystal panel that displays each of the weather information based on the signal from the arithmetic circuit; The device is characterized in that it includes a casing that can be installed in order to be installed, and that weather information around the installation location can be obtained.

Further, the casing is characterized in that it can be installed on the outdoor side of a building, and the transmissive liquid crystal panel can be read from inside the building.

[Function 1] The above-mentioned simple weather meter has a sensor in the casing that detects weather information such as outside temperature, humidity, sunlight, and atmospheric pressure. It is formed by incorporating an arithmetic circuit that corrects the information to match the information, and a transmissive liquid crystal panel that displays weather information based on the signal from the arithmetic circuit. This simple weather meter is installed on the outdoor side of the building, where weather information displayed on a transmissive liquid crystal panel can be read directly through the window glass.

Therefore, the necessary weather information at the installation location can be obtained easily by checking the weather without using large-scale equipment.

[Example] Examples will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the simple weather meter according to the present invention includes a casing 1 made of synthetic resin or the like, and a liquid crystal display (LCD) 2 disposed above the casing 1 as a transmissive liquid crystal panel. In the lower part of the casing 1, a solar cell 3 is arranged as a power source with its light-receiving surface exposed, and a circuit board 4 is arranged in alignment with the solar cell 3. A plurality of sensors 5 are arranged close to the bottom of this circuit board 3, and
It can detect humidity, sunlight, atmospheric pressure, etc.

The circuit board 3 is equipped with an arithmetic circuit that receives signals based on the detected weather information from each sensor 5 and corrects them to obtain weather information for the area around the installation location, that is, the area very close to the installation location. We are prepared.

Furthermore, it goes without saying that a circuit for sending signals to the liquid crystal display 2 is provided. The casing 1 in which the liquid crystal display 2, the solar cell 3, the circuit board 4, the sensor 5, etc. are integrated can have a small overall shape, and as shown in FIG. A support is fixed to the window frame or wall, etc., on the outside of the window glass 6 facing outward, so that it can be seen from inside the building.
A weather meter is attached to this support so as to face the window glass.

When the simple weather meter configured as described above is attached to the outside of the window glass 6, it starts operating using the solar cell 3 as a power source.

Signals such as temperature, humidity, sunlight, and atmospheric pressure detected by the sensor 5 are calculated by an arithmetic circuit on the circuit board 4 so as to be corrected as weather information around the installation location, and the resulting signals are used for display. The signal is converted into a signal and sent to the liquid crystal display 2 to display temperature, humidity, sunlight, atmospheric pressure, etc. Since the liquid crystal display 2 is of a transmissive type, weather information displayed through the window glass 6 can be viewed while staying inside the building. Moreover, sensor 5
Since the weather information detected by has been corrected, it can be obtained not as information near the window glass 6 but as weather information in the vicinity.

Although the casing 1 having the above structure is integrally assembled using synthetic resin, it may not only be embedded or fitted, but may also be mounted into a box using screws or the like as in the conventional case.

Further, since the simple weather meter having the above configuration is small, it may be attached to the outside of the building by bonding the entirety to the window glass 6 with an adhesive or the like. However, as long as it is installed in a visible state, it goes without saying that it may be installed away from the window glass using a support.

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

The simple weather meter with the above configuration uses a transmissive liquid crystal panel and incorporates the necessary components such as the sensor, power supply, and arithmetic circuit into the casing, so there is no need to draw the weather information display section inside the building. This eliminates the need for wiring for lead-in, which eliminates unnecessary expenses, and has the excellent effect of making the entire structure smaller and allowing it to be easily installed outside the building. Furthermore, unlike weather information obtained from newspapers, television, radio, etc., it has the excellent effect of easily and accurately obtaining weather information around the location where the weather meter is installed.
