Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial field of application The present invention relates to a measuring instrument having a built-in small recording device for power management, environment management, facility management and the like. In the field of measuring instruments equipped with a digital display element for mounting on a measuring instrument panel.

2. Description of the Related Art FIGS. 4 and 5 show a conventional example, 1 is a panel surface, and 2 is a panel surface.
Is a small-sized recording device arranged on the panel surface 1, 2a is a recording paper discharge part of the recording device 2, 3 is a recording paper storage part, 4 is a numerical display element mounted on a printed circuit board 6, and 5 is a whole storage box. The body 7 is a second printed circuit board on which electronic components are mounted. Reference numeral 8 is a measuring instrument mounting board. In the conventional one,
As shown in FIG. 4, the small-sized recording device 2 and the recording-paper accommodating portion 3 are generally arranged on a part of the panel surface 1. This is embedded in the measuring instrument mounting board 8 as shown in FIG. 4, so that only part of the panel surface 1 and the side surface is exposed to the outside, and the discharged recording paper is routinely processed and the recording paper is replaced. This is because it is easy to replace the ink ribbon and inspect the small recording device 2.

However, in order to reduce the panel area,
There is a drawback that the small recording device 2 and the recording paper storage portion 3 occupy a large panel area.

Further, the numerical display element 4 needs to be arranged so that it can be seen from the outside of the panel surface 1. Therefore, the printed circuit board 6 on which the same display element 4 is mounted is arranged inside in parallel with the panel surface 1. However, if the number of circuit components increases when the panel surface 1 is restricted, the printed circuit board 6 is necessarily divided and arranged somewhere inside. The small recording device 2 and the recording paper storage unit 3 have been a major limitation when mounting on a single printed circuit board due to a decrease in reliability due to the connection between the printed circuit boards 6 and 7 and economy.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the measuring instrument with a compact recording device of the present invention has a structure in which the panel surface can be opened and closed, and a printed circuit board is arranged entirely in parallel with the panel surface. A small-sized recording device is arranged inside the printer, and the recording paper is ejected from the lower part of the side surface of the panel.

When the small recording device is of the ink ribbon type, the small recording device is drawn out in the recording paper discharge direction.

Further, the recording paper is arranged on the inside rear surface of the small-sized recording apparatus, and the recording paper has a structure that does not move even when the small-sized recording apparatus is pulled out.

By the above means, the recording paper is discharged to the lower part of the side surface of the panel. Therefore, the recording paper can be easily replaced by opening and closing the panel surface without concealing the panel surface during discharging. It is also possible to easily replace the item by pulling out the small recording device.

Embodiments FIGS. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a front view, FIG. 2 is a horizontal sectional view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a front view of a small recording device. .

The details will be described below.

In FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, 11 is a panel surface, and 12 is a small recording device, and a small recording device mounting plate 17 mounted on the side surface of the panel is attached to the inside of the printed circuit board so that it can be pulled out to the lower part by a slide rail. Installed. Reference numeral 13 is a recording paper, which is attached to the inside rear surface of the small recording device 12 to a small recording device mounting plate 17 via a recording paper mounting bracket 18 in a semi-fixable manner. A numeral display element 14 is mounted on the printed board portion 16 so that it can be seen from the panel surface, and the printed board portion 16 is mounted in parallel inside the panel surface.
Reference numeral 15 denotes an entire housing box portion, which is attached to the side surface of the panel portion such that the panel portion can be opened and closed by a hinge 15a.
The small recording device 12 is pulled out so that the ink ribbon portion 12a is outside the lower side surface of the panel as shown in FIG. 3 when the small recording device 12 is pulled out. It can be easily exchanged. Regarding the replacement of the recording paper, it can be easily replaced with the panel section opened from the box section.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention has the following effects.

(A) The panel area can be reduced.

(B) The area of the printed circuit board portion inside the panel can be made the full panel area.

(C) As described above, the case where the printed circuit board does not need to be divided is increased, and in this case, the reliability and the economical efficiency can be made excellent.

(D) By arranging the small recording device inside, it becomes easy to prevent contamination by dust or the like, and reliability can be improved.

(E) Workability is not impaired as in the past.
