Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention uses a tachograph, that is, an operation recorder, to read and print out the operation status of each task during the operation of a vehicle, etc. recorded on a circular recording paper (hereinafter referred to as "chart paper"). It is related to the device.

As is well known, transportation regulations for automobile transportation businesses require that designated charter buses, route trucks, etc. be equipped with tachographs. The chart paper attached to this tachograph records not only the instantaneous speed, travel distance, and time, but also the operating status of each task such as driving, working, resting, and waiting. is used for various interpretations in operation management, etc.

As shown in Fig. 1, the chart paper 1 has a center hole 2 for fitting into the turntable shaft of a tachograph, and the date, driver, etc., vehicle number, and other general information surrounding this center hole 2 can be recorded. It consists of a small circular section 3 for the operator to write in, and a tachograph recording section 4 surrounding this small circular section 3.
The tachograph recording section 4 uses a large number of radially printed lines (24 lines here for convenience of explanation) as a time scale, and the center of the recording line 5 recorded in the circumferential direction by intersecting these lines with the tachograph. The radial distance from position 0 or the thickness of the recording line 5 itself in the radial direction represents the work contents at that point in time. Management work such as analyzing, tabulating, and tabulating work content using tachographs is currently done by visually observing the relationship between the recorded time elapsed and the work content, and calculating the total time for each item. , a list with items, time scales, and total columns as shown in FIG. 2 will be created.

However, in the above-mentioned series of visual and manual processing of chart paper, reading errors and calculation errors are likely to occur due to worker's carelessness or illusion due to worker avoidance, etc. The time and the actual recorded time often did not match, which caused various problems in terms of operation management.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention includes (a) a turntable for supporting and rotating a circular recording paper at a position that can be monitored by an operator; and (b) a turntable for rotating the circular recording paper in both forward and reverse directions. (c) a cursor line consisting of a transparent plate fixed to be positioned directly above the circular recording paper supported by the turntable, and traversing the recording paper surface in the radial direction at a predetermined angle; (d) a start button for instructing the drive mechanism to rotate the turntable in the forward direction, a return button for instructing the drive mechanism to rotate the turntable in the reverse direction, and a calculated value correction button, as well as a control button for all operations. an operation panel section including a completion button for instructing to stop, and a plurality of forward rotation command and item selection buttons that are selectively operated according to the work content or status recorded on the recording paper; (e) the start button; After the button is pressed, for each item corresponding to the completion button, the recording time of the recording paper corresponding to the forward rotation angle of the turntable when it is selected is accumulated, and when the turntable is rotated in the reverse direction, (f) a microprocessor and associated input/output circuitry for subtracting the recorded time corresponding to the positive rotation angle returned from the associated integrated quantity; and (f) the items integrated and tabulated by the microprocessor. It is an object of the present invention to provide a recording paper reading and printing tabulation device for a driving recorder, which is characterized by being equipped with a means for printing out separate recorded times by at least one of printing and tabulation.

Therefore, with this device, the operator selects items such as work details and presses a button, but the microcomputer performs all statistics such as time accumulation, classification, base total, etc., so it can be done accurately and quickly. You can expect it to be processed. In addition, since erroneous operations on item buttons can be easily corrected by pressing the correction button, a series of processes can be performed only by button operations.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 3, the reading and printing tabulation device of the present invention has a turntable 7 for supporting chart paper on the left side of the inclined front part 6 on the upper surface of the casing, and an operation panel part 8 on the right side. . At the top of the casing, at the substantially horizontal rear (in this case on the right) there is a print outlet 9.
is formed. Further, in the casing part, a cursor member 10 having a transparent plate part closely facing any part of the turntable 7 (in this case, the upper arc part) is fixed. On this cursor member 10, a cursor line 11 is clearly shown along a radial line extending in the front-rear direction of the turntable 7. A chart paper presser 12 is removably engaged with a center shaft protrusion (not shown) of the turntable 7.
The chart paper 1 held concentrically on the turntable 7 slides on the back surface of the cursor member 10 and rotates together with the turntable 7.

A power switch 13 for the entire apparatus is provided at the left front end of the upper surface of the casing.

Housed within the casing are a turntable drive mechanism, a printer main body (none of which are shown), and a microprocessor and related input/output circuits (to be described later) that connect button operations on the operation panel section 8 with the operations of these mechanisms. There is.

The operation panel section 8 has a plurality of forward rotation command/item selection buttons that are selectively pressed in accordance with the work content or status recorded on the chart paper at the front end, such as "operation" a, "work" b, and "item selection" buttons. stand-by〃
A button array 14 such as "c" and "break" d is provided, and immediately after that, a button array 14 is provided to instruct the drive mechanism to rotate the turntable 7 in the forward direction (for example, counterclockwise) and to start microcomputer processing. a start button a, a return button b for commanding reverse direction rotation, a correction button c for canceling the previous microcomputer processing (partial integrated value), and a command to stop all machine operations and a return button b for commanding reverse rotation. An operation button array 15 consisting of a completion button d is provided for pre-printing out the calculation results in an appropriate format.

Furthermore, behind the operation button array 15 are digital switches 16 for setting the vehicle or aircraft number and mileage, as well as a date stamp (month, day).
A digital setting switch 17 is provided. Incidentally, a lamp array 19 at the upper left corner of the operation panel section 8 is an instruction means that is lit in accordance with the above-described operation and selected item.

In the above structure, when the operator sets the recorded chart paper 1 on the turntable 7 and turns on the power switch 13, the apparatus becomes operational. Here, when the operator presses the start button 15a, the turntable 7 rotates in the forward direction until the button 15a is released, and the operator points the cursor member 10 at the predetermined time axis (scale 8 in the embodiment) of the chart paper 1. The user waits for the line to match the line 11, and at the time the line matches the line 11, presses a button corresponding to the work content of that part (recognized by the operator from the recorded line), such as the "Run" button 14-a.
Here, the built-in microcomputer calculates the turntable 7 that is driven in the forward direction while the button 14-a is pressed for the item "operation", and therefore calculates the chart paper recording time corresponding to the rotation angle of the chart paper 1. do. When the radial position or width of the recording line that intersects the cursor line 11 indicates a different work content, the operator releases the button in the button array 14, for example 14-a, and changes to that content. Select the corresponding button and press it.

Therefore, the microcomputer performs the same integration process as described above for the newly selected item from this point on. It goes without saying that as the operations proceed sequentially in this manner, a new accumulation operation is performed on top of all stored accumulation times if a new selection item matches an already selected one.

If the operator makes a mistake in selecting the item button array 14, pressing the return button 15-b will reverse the turntable 7 and release button 1.
After releasing 5-b, when the correction button 15-c is pressed, the recording time corresponding to the reverse angle will be subtracted from the previous accumulated time. That is, the turntable 7 has returned to the angular position where the operator accidentally pressed the item button, and if the correct item button is pressed again at this point, the accurate integration process will be restarted from this point in the same way as above. Become.

After reading and scanning the chart paper as described above, the operator presses the completion button 15-d. As a result, the built-in printer mechanism operates and prints the data accumulated, organized, and tabulated by the microcomputer on the print chart 20 (third page).
(Figure). Its format is shown in Figure 2.
