Particularly, the present invention relates to a machine operation status monitoring device capable of eliminating a report omission and reducing an input load when inputting a reason for stoppage or a result.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to efficiently operate a machine, for example, a printing machine, it is necessary to properly monitor its operating condition and check its operating condition. That is, it is necessary to monitor the case where the printing is performed normally and the printed matter is printed as planned, or the case where the printing is stopped, for example, the plate is washed, the paper is replenished, and the printer is inspected and repaired. In this case, the stop state is particularly important because it monitors whether the printing press is operating normally and becomes an important factor indicating the investment efficiency, the production amount, etc. of the printing press.

Therefore, the operator of the printing press has a method of checking the stop state each time the machine is stopped and recording it on a recording sheet. However, the method of recording on the recording paper by the operator causes writing errors and forgetting to record, and the increase of the recording amount causes an excessive amount of work of the operator, which is not suitable for long-term monitoring.

The device which can record the pulse-wave-shaped mark indicating the operating condition of the printing machine by inputting the operating condition relay signal indicating that the condition is present.

According to this apparatus, the operator confirms the recording of the pulse-wave-shaped mark by utilizing the time left after setting the paper on the printing machine and starting the automatic operation, and the like. It is possible to accurately remember the work content, work time, etc. performed in the past, and to easily and accurately record the work content data.

However, even in this apparatus, there is no problem in that it relies on the work performed by the operator, such as recording, and there are the following problems. When there is a machine stop, every time the machine returns to the normal operating state, the operator inputs all the reasons for stop,
Data reliability is lost due to an input error, and the input work is heavy. The operator has to look through the records to check if there is any omission of the reason for the stop and the production record at the time of work shift, and the reliability of the data is lacking due to a confirmation error and the input work is heavy. After the item is switched, when the machine is in a normal operating state, the operator specifies the next item and the switching time. Therefore, the reliability of the switching time designation is lost due to an input error, and the input work load is large. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a machine operation status monitoring device in which the reliability of input data is high and the load of input work is small.

[0009]

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to preferred embodiments. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an operating condition monitoring device including the operating condition monitoring terminal 2 and the signal control device 3. An operation status relay signal and a count pulse signal are sent from the production machine such as the printing machine 4 to the signal control device 3. The operating status relay signal is a signal that informs that the printing press 4 is in a predetermined state such as an operating state, a stopped state, and a ready state. This operation status relay signal includes a printing machine stop request issued from various types of printing machine auxiliary equipment, an item switching start command input by the operator on the operation panel, and the like. The count pulse signal is a signal for detecting the number of revolutions of the plate cylinder, the blanket cylinder, etc. to inform the production quantity of the printed matter.

The operating status monitoring terminal 2 has a display 5, and a touch panel switch 6 is provided around the display 5. Then, the operator can select each menu displayed on the display 5 by instructing a desired work position on the display surface of the display 5 with the touch keys 7. In addition,
The display 5 may be instructed with a finger. FIG. 3 is a system diagram showing a case where the operation status monitoring device 1 is connected to each of the plurality of printing machines 4. Each operation status monitoring terminal 2 is connected to a higher-level computer such as a personal computer (personal computer) 8, and a printer 9 for making a hard copy of the operation record of each printing machine 4 is connected to this personal computer 8. .

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the operation status monitoring terminal 2 and the signal control device 3. This Figure 1
As shown in FIG. 2, the operating status monitoring terminal 2 communicates with a display 5, a touch panel switch 6, a memory 10 in which predetermined data is stored, a clock device 11 for displaying working time, a host computer such as a personal computer 8. A print information signal is output to a communication control unit 12 for controlling and a printer 13 (for outputting a record of each operation status monitoring device 1 as a screen copy, a voucher, etc.) different from the printer 9. Printer output unit 1 for
4, a dedicated interface unit 15, and a controller 16 including a CPU for controlling these units.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart for explaining the operation of this embodiment. When the power of the operating status monitoring terminal 2 and the signal control device 3 is turned on (S1), a start state is set (S2), and an operating status display screen appears on the display 5 (S3). Then, the worker selects a desired item from the items “operating”, “switching items”, “reason for stopping”, “planned”, “displaying results”, and “shifting work” shown in the display screen width. Is designated by the touch key 7 or the finger (S4). Then, the controller 16 reads the item designated by the touch key 7 by a signal from the touch panel switch 6 (S5), and displays a display screen corresponding to each item on the display 5 (S6 to S12).

In the initial setting (SI) by the interrupt processing from the host computer 8, the initial setting data is set in the operating status monitoring terminal 2 depending on the machine such as a printing machine and a processing machine, and the difference in the model and specifications. The operation mode of the operating status monitoring terminal 2 is determined. Initial setting (S
I) is executed only at the time of start-up, when the machine is updated, or when the operation is changed. The setting of the screen display items such as the reason for stopping and the worker name is performed by downloading (SD) of the interrupt process from the host computer 8. Download is
It is executed when the operator name, the reason for stoppage, and other names are changed. In the initial setting data, data that specifies the stop signal that automatically assigns the stop reason among various stop signals,
Data that specifies mandatory items (stop reason item, production quantity item), stop reason, data that sets the value of input unnecessary time, data that specifies whether to automatically switch items by receiving an item switching signal, It contains data that identifies the item switching signal.

In the initial setting (SI), the stop signal that automatically assigns the reason for stopping is, in the printing press, a feeder stop which is an obstacle, a blanket cleaning, a blank sheet transfer, an intermediate roller cleaning, an intermediate impression cylinder cleaning, Sheet path detection, delivery paper winding, etc. For example, the cause of the feeder stop is misregistration (misalignment of overprinting), two sheets of paper, foreign matter on the paper, etc. These are automatically detected by the detection device, and the printing machine detects the detection signal. Automatically stop. Such various stop signals are generated by the sequence control device controlling the machine and input to the operation status monitoring terminal 2 through the signal control device 3.

The stop signal, which is automatically input to the stop reason and is assigned to the operation status monitoring terminal 2, is a part of the operation status relay signal as described above, for example, Relay1 to Relay.
Assigned from 16 operating status relay signals up to y16. Relay6 and Relay11 are used as automatic input signals for preparation and inhibition, respectively, and the items shown in Table 1 below are automatically taken in by Relay13 to Relay16.

[Table 1]

In the initial setting (SI), as described above, the data for specifying the stop signal to which the reason for the stop is automatically assigned is set among the various stop signals. The data has the contents shown in Table 1 above. When the data is written in the data table, and the data is written in the data table, in the operating status monitoring terminal 2, the reason for stopping corresponding to the automatically fetched item is automatically added to the predetermined item by the stop reason assigning means. Allocated (described later).

In addition to the above, data for setting mandatory items (stop reason item, production quantity item), which are data set in the initial setting (SI), data for setting the value of the unnecessary input time, and an item switching signal. The data for specifying whether or not to perform the automatic item switching and the data for specifying the item switching signal are also executed by writing the data in the predetermined location of the data table as described above. For example, an indispensable item is an indispensable item if the flag of the item in the data table is ON (“1”), and is not an indispensable item if the flag is OFF (“0”). The flag of the above-mentioned automatically assigned stop reason item is of course OFF (“0”). When the machine is stopped, the flag of the reason for stop is ON (“1”), and the flag is ON.
When an input is made to the required item, which is (“1”),
The flag turns off (“0”). Therefore, when the worker intends to perform the work shift processing during the work shift, if there is an item whose flag is not OFF (“0”), the work shift processing non-execution means prevents the work shift processing from being performed.

When the flag of the item relating to the item switching means is ON ("1") in the data table, the item switching means automatically selects the item as the next candidate based on the item switching signal from the machine. Switching to the designated item or the item positioned in the next order on the schedule data is executed. If the flag of the item relating to the item switching means is OFF (“0”), the above is not executed, and therefore the item switching is set in the operation status monitoring terminal 2 only after the operator inputs the item switching. It will be. Also, the input unnecessary time monitoring means does not need to record the stop reason item for the machine stop shorter than the set time, and does not record the stop reason item for the machine stop longer than the set time. It has the necessary time monitoring function. The value of the input unnecessary time that is set is normally several minutes to several tens of minutes, but is not particularly limited.

Following the above description of the initialization (SI),
Next, the contents of the operation performed on the display 5 by the operator using the touch keys 7 during or after the work will be described. In step 3 of FIG. 4, as shown in FIG.
A screen for displaying the operating status of the machine appears on the display 5. Explaining the contents of this screen (hereinafter, items or positions of the screen width to be explained are appropriately indicated by symbols P1, P2 ...) First, the "date and time" means the date and time at the present time. However, “model” and “worker” are those who are currently involved in printing work. Among them, the “model” is a person who is in a position to lead the “worker”. The person's name is displayed as is in these fields. “Machine switching” is a field for displaying the name or code number of the machine currently under operation management.

"[12 hours]" indicates a time zone,
It is possible to display the operating status of the machine for 12 hours. Then, in the "mark input", a mark corresponding to the content of the operation status relay signal from the machine, that is, the printing machine 4 is displayed. In other words, the black part P1 indicates the time zone when the machine was in operation, the white part P2 indicates the time zone when the machine was stopped, and the part P3 surrounded by a small white square indicates the time zone when the machine was in the ready state. ing. Further, the step-like portion P4 means that the machine has entered the normal operating state after having passed through the state of low speed rotation (included in the operating state) and the medium speed rotation (included in the operating state). And the display of "4:18" on the right is 4 hours from the start of the current work displayed on this screen to the present 1
This means that 8 minutes have passed.

"Operation", "preparation", "inhibition", "rest"
Shows the contents of a plurality of states included in the "mark input", which are individually taken out and displayed. That is, P5, P in "driving", "preparation", and "inhibition"
6 and P7 are P in "mark input" respectively.
It corresponds to the parts 1, P2, P3, and when these times displayed on the right side are summed up, it becomes the same time as "mark input", that is, 4 hours and 18 minutes. The P8 column displays the code number or the order number of the item currently in progress, and the P9 column displays the magazine name of the item displayed in P8 and the accompanying information. And
The planned number of prints of this item is displayed on P10, and the count value corresponding to the number of prints completed for each item is displayed on P11.

"Operating", "production quantity", "reason for stopping",
Each item of "plan", "result", "work shift", "item switching", when the operator switches the screen as necessary,
This is an item to be instructed by touching the touch key 7 on the screen. It should be noted that two "1" s are displayed in the "Item switching" column, which indicates that the item switching is being performed around 8:00. "Previous" and "Present" are keys for changing the display of the time zone. When you touch the "before" part with the touch key, the time zone for 12 hours before 8 o'clock, that is, the previous work The operating status of time will be displayed. It is now assumed that the machine is in operation and the operator is relatively free. In such a case, the worker can use the free time to perform the following operation as if writing a work diary.

First, on the display screen of FIG. 5, the touch key 7 is touched on the characters "item switching". Then, the screen changes to the item switching display screen as shown in FIG. As described above, according to the machine operation status monitoring device of the present invention, a method of automatically performing this item switching (a flag of an item relating to the item switching means is ON) and a method of allowing an operator to perform the item switching operation ( It is possible to select that the flag of the item relating to the item switching means is OFF). When the automatic item switching method is selected, when the operator instructs the item switching by pressing a button switch to start the item switching on the operation panel of the machine when switching the items, the item switching will be performed. A signal is emitted from the machine control device, etc., and the operation status monitoring device receives the item switching signal, so that the item specified as the next candidate in advance or the item positioned in the next order in the schedule data is automatically Switching is performed.

In this case, the worker can designate a specific item as the next candidate. When "next candidate" is selected on the item switching display screen shown in FIG. 6, the scheduled data of the item is displayed on the screen. The order is recorded in the schedule data, and if the next candidate can be in the scheduled order, the operator does not need to input anything. When the schedule is changed due to the progress of work and the next candidate is different from the scheduled order, the worker changes the order by designating the next candidate item on the screen. The designated item becomes the next candidate, and the items positioned in the next order in the schedule data are successively selected as candidates.

Next, a method for the operator to perform an item switching operation will be described. In this case, even if the operator presses the button switch on the operation panel of the machine to start the item switching, the operation status monitoring device does not perform the item switching process in conjunction with each other, and the operator does not perform the item switching operation. To do. Further, even when the items are switched in an interlocking manner, when the time, contents, etc. are changed, the worker similarly performs the item switching operation. On the item switching screen, the operator first touches the time zone selection key P12 with the touch key 7 and moves the selection width mark P13 to the time zone in which the item switching is to be performed. As a result, the screens P14 and P15
A mark indicating the operating status in the selected time zone is displayed on the screen. A cursor P16 is provided on the screen P15, and the cursor P16 can be moved by touching a cursor movement key P17.

Actually, the work of the item with the order number A1B1C1 is completed at 9:07, and the work of the item with the order number A2B2C2 is subsequently performed from 9:08 to 10:27. It is assumed that the work of the item with the order number A3B3C3 is continued from 10:28. In such a case, the worker needs to record that the work content is switched from the order number A2B2C2 to the order number A3B3C3 at 10:28 (order number A
The switch from the 1B1C1 item to the order number A2B2C2 item has already been made, and it can be seen from the mark P17 that the item has been changed. ).

Here, "A2B2" on the right side of "Item switching"
"C2" is the order number of the item which is about to be switched, and "A2B2C2" to the right of the "cursor" is the item that was worked at the time (10:28) where the cursor P16 is located. Order number. Actually 10
At the time of 28th hour, the work of the item with the order number A3B3C3 is being performed, so "A3B3C3" should be displayed to the right of the "cursor", but the work of switching the item is still in progress. "A2B2C
2 ”is displayed. Then, the worker pushes the cursor P1.
6 is moved to the position of 10:28, and then the touch key 7 is touched on the character “3” in the “ON” field, and further touched on the “Registration” key. As a result, the item switching at the time 10:27 is recorded, and accordingly, "A3B3" is displayed to the right of "Item switching" and "Cursor".
C3 "will be displayed. Then, by touching the "end" key, the item switching display screen is returned to the operation status display screen.

In the display screen of FIG. 6, "cancel"
The key is a key used to delete the registration when the order number, the time of switching the item, etc. are erroneously recorded (registered). Also, "next page" and "previous page" are, for example, when the item with the order number A3B3C3 is not found in the page list of the screen of FIG. 6, the next page list or the previous page list is displayed on the screen. Is a key for. "Order number input" is, for example, "A3B3C3" in the "Order number" column.
This is a key for allowing the operator to enter the number "A3B3C3" by his / her own work when "" is not entered. That is, when the character "order number" is touched, the screen is changed and the numeric keypad and other keys are displayed on the display. The operator can write the order number by touching the ten keys.

After performing the item switching work in this way, the worker records the time during which the machine has stopped in the work performed so far, and also details the reason for the stop. be able to. That is, on the display screen of FIG. 5, the operator touches the character of “reason for stop” with the touch key 7 in order to record the reason why the machine was in the ready state and the blocked state. Then, on the display 5, a stop reason display screen as shown in FIG. 7 appears.

It is not necessary for the worker to record all the reasons for stopping, and there are items where the reasons for stopping are automatically recorded. As mentioned above, this is a stop signal in which the operating status monitoring device receives various stop signals emitted from the machine when the machine stops and data is set as a stop signal that automatically assigns the reason for the stop. For, the reason for stopping is automatically assigned. The setting of the data is performed in the initial setting. The data is written in the data table having the contents shown in Table 1, and when written in the data table, the reason for stopping corresponding to the automatically fetched item is assigned to the reason for stopping in the operating status monitoring terminal 2. By means of the means, it is automatically assigned to a predetermined item on the stop reason display screen as shown in FIG.

Except for the items where the reason for stopping is automatically recorded, the operator inputs the reason for stopping on the screen as shown in FIG. Similarly to the case of FIG. 6, the operator moves the selection width mark P13 to a desired position by using the time zone selection key P12. Now, the case of recording that the reason for the inhibition of the position of P18 on the screen was an electrical factor will be described. First,
Use the cursor movement key P17 to move the cursor P19 to P1.
Move to the tip of No. 8. Next, after touching the word "Start" and registering the start time of 8:14,
The cursor P19 is moved to the rear end of P18. Then, the cursor P19 is divided into a front end cursor P20 and a rear end cursor P21, the front end cursor P20 stays at the front end of P18, and only the rear end cursor P21 moves and is located at the rear end.

When the touch key 7 is touched on the character "electrical factor" at the bottom of the screen in this state, the end time of 8:39 is registered and the character "electrical factor" is displayed below the tip cursor P20. It As a result, it was recorded that the reason why the machine stopped between 8:14 and 8:39 was an electrical factor. At the same time, the front end cursor P20 and the rear end cursor P21
Are combined into one cursor P19, and the cursor P1
9 moves to the position after 1 minute, that is, the position at 8:40. In addition, as shown in the lower part of the screen, the reason for inhibition is categorized into “adjustment”, “poor”, ...
Furthermore, it is sub-classified as "feeder", "delivery", .... The height of the range P22 in which the mark indicating the obstruction status is displayed in the center of the screen is divided according to the middle classification (for example, the mark P18 is displayed one step lower than the left and right marks). Therefore, by paying attention to the height in this range P22, it becomes possible to grasp the contents of the middle classification and the tendency of the inhibition reason at a glance.

Further, P23 is a mark indicating that the reason for stopping has not been entered, so that it is possible to prevent omission of the reason for stopping. And
When the screen is changed from the other screen to the screen of FIG. 7, the cursor P19 is automatically positioned at the tip of the earliest part of the mark P23. next,
The performance display screen of FIG. 8 will be described. This is a list of the work performed by the worker so far, for each order number. As is clear from the "date and time" column in this list, the items at the top are the items currently being worked on, and the time goes back downward. Therefore, it is possible to accurately grasp the operating status from this list. By performing the item switching work described above, the “counter” column in the display screen of FIG. 5 does not show the cumulative count value from the operation status monitoring start time, but the cumulative count for the currently progressing item. The count value is displayed.

Next, a case will be described in which the prescribed work time ends and the worker changes work. The operator displays the display screen of FIG. 5 (of course, any other suitable display screen may be used) and touches the letters "work shift". Then, a work shift display screen as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed on the display. In addition, mandatory input items (stop reason item, production quantity item) set in the initial setting (SI)
If all are entered, the "Pick up" key P
When 24 is touched once, the character of the key P24 is highlighted, and when touched again, all the worker names described in the field P25 are deleted and "work completed" is displayed. When the next worker goes to work, the column P2
6 or the own name registered in the field P27 may be touched with the touch key 7. As a result, the next new worker name is entered in the field P25.

If even one of the mandatory input items (stop reason item, production quantity item) is not entered,
When the "Pickup" key P24 is touched once, the letters of this key P24 are highlighted, but even if it is touched again, all the worker names listed in the field P25 are not deleted, and the work change process is not performed. The execution means displays that the work cannot be completed. The worker checks the input required items for omissions and completes the input of all the input required items so that the work can be completed for the first time, and the omission of the input regarding the important items is eliminated.

By the way, there may be a case where the above work shift must be carried out before the work of a certain item is all completed. In such a case, the actual result display screen before and after the work shift is changed. Explain what changes to. FIG. 10 (a) shows a result display screen before the change of work,
FIG.10 (b) has shown the performance display screen after a work change. It is assumed that the work shift time is 20:00, and at this time, as shown in the “No. 1” column of FIG. Therefore, the end time of the item is left blank in the "date and time" column. In addition, in the current work, Tobita, Ichimura,
No. 3 is the item in charge of Mr. Yamakawa. 1-No. No. 3, which is an item. The items of No. 4 were handled by the worker who worked last time.

Then, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), it is assumed that the next work is carried out by Mr. Sanbe, Mr. Hirayama, Mr. Tanabe and Mr. Matsumura. No. In the column No. 1, data about the remaining items of the order number 02 is entered. In the column 2 of the order number 02, the data of the manufactured items are entered. That is, No. 1 in FIG. The data in the column 1 is No. 1 in FIG. 1 and N
o. The data in the second column will be divided and displayed.

Further, the items displayed on the result display screen are only the items relating to the present work and the items relating to the previous work. Therefore, No. 1 in FIG. The items in the column 4 are deleted from FIG. 10 (b) because they are items related to the second previous work from the viewpoint of Mr. Sanbe, Hirayama, Tanabe, and Matsumura. However, it is of course possible to display the items relating to the work before the second by increasing the capacity of the memory. In addition, the apparatus also includes a production quantity input screen for inputting the production quantity of each item, a schedule display screen for displaying a list of scheduled items sent from the host computer, and the like.

As described above, by using the operation status monitoring device shown in FIG. 1, the worker can easily and accurately record the data associated with the work he has been doing up to now, as if he / she wrote a work diary. can do. Further, in the case of using this type of device, if the work for recording the work content is interfered with, such as the printing work, which is the original work, the value thereof is remarkably destroyed. Therefore, in the present invention, many input items are automatically input by the stop reason assigning unit, the item switching unit, and the like, and even if the item requires manual input, the operator sets the paper on the printing machine. After that, the recording work described will be performed by using the free time after starting the automatic operation.

At this time, when a long time has passed since the last recording work, or depending on the age of the worker, it is impossible to accurately remember the work contents, work time, etc. performed in the past. However, if the operation status monitoring device of the present invention is used, past work content data can be easily and accurately recorded by checking various display screens including the operation status display screen. . Regarding mandatory input items such as stop reason items and production quantity items, in the present invention, the work shift non-execution means does not execute the work shift processing when there is an omission of input, and the work is performed after all input is completed. Since the replacement process is executed, there is no omission of input required items. Further, the input unnecessary time monitoring means does not need to input the reason for the machine stop for a short time, and the input work load is reduced.

[0041]

With the automatic stop reason inputting function, the stop reason inputting work itself can be automated, input errors can be eliminated, and the input work load can be reduced. When the number of machine stoppages in a small time is extremely large due to the stop reason input unnecessary time setting function, the input work is not required for machine stoppages within a certain time if the stop reason input workload increases. Can be reduced. With the function for checking the reason for stop reason not input, if the stop reason classification specified for the machine stop during work is not input, the work cannot be changed, so there is no omission of input. In addition, since it is not necessary to input items that are not particularly important, the work load can be reduced. Due to the production quantity non-input check function, it is not possible to change work unless the designated items of various production quantity items are input, so there is no omission of input. In addition, since it is not necessary to input items that are not particularly important, the work load can be reduced. By the next candidate item designation and the item automatic switching function, the input work of item switching is automated,
There are no input errors when switching items, and switching reports can be made in real time. Further, if the scheduled order is determined in advance, the input work for switching the item becomes unnecessary, and the work load can be reduced.
