JPS58100597A - Remote controller provided with input and output terminal for service - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the confirmation of operation of a remote controller efficiently, by providing a servicing manual input terminals and output terminals displaying the input state as well as interruption input terminals for a microcomputer. CONSTITUTION:In operating a manual input device 7, it can be connected to a microcomputer 3 as required and the device 7 is inputted to switches 7a, 7b-7h to each input terminal. A display circuit 8 can be connected as required the same as the case with the device 7 and light emitting elements 8a-8c are illuminated by taking output terminals 01-03 at a high level corresponding to the input of the device 7. Thus, a remote controller 1 is not necessarily operated for each inspection and the work is made easy.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a wireless remote control device having a control section, a receiving section, and a transmitting section (operating section), in which input from the transmitting section is transmitted via an interrupt to a microcomputer in the control section. The present invention provides a remote control device that allows input to a terminal and uses other input/output terminals for manual input and display output.

Conventionally, in this type of remote control device, as shown in FIG. 1, a signal from a remote controller 1 is inputted to a microcomputer 3 via a receiving section 2, and an output section 4 is operated in accordance with this input signal. In this case, during inspection, service, etc., the microcomputer 3 cannot be operated unless the remote controller 1 is moved to input an input signal to the microcomputer 3. During this conventional inspection and service, the remote controller 1 and microcomputer 3 are separated, so
This work is inconvenient, and since the signal is in a pulsed state, it is difficult to determine whether the input is normal.

The present invention eliminates the drawbacks of the remote control device described above, and provides a microcomputer 3 with an interrupt input terminal for receiving input signals from the remote controller 1, as well as a manual input terminal for service, and an output for displaying the input status, etc. Easily check the operation of the remote control device by providing separate terminals and using those input/output terminals as appropriate during inspections, services, etc. transformation,
The purpose is to improve efficiency.

Hereinafter, a case where an embodiment of the present invention is applied to an air conditioner will be described with reference to FIG. 2. Here, remote control 1,
The receiving section 2, microcomputer 3, and output section 4 are the same as those shown in FIG. 1, so their explanation will be omitted.

In the figure, ! in the microcomputer 3! 1-I8
A protective resistor section 6 is connected to the input terminal. Also 01
~o3 is an output terminal, to which the protective resistor section 6 is also connected. 7 is a manual input device that can be connected to the microcomputer 3 as needed, and each switch 7a, 7b, 7h of the manual input device 7 is connected to each input terminal.
can be entered by The microcomputer 3 has each input terminal connected to the switches 7a, 7b, etc. of the remote control 1.
...It has a built-in function to identify the correspondence with 7h.

8 is a display circuit which can be connected as necessary like the manual input device 7;
By setting the output terminals 1 to 03 as high level signals (#)
The light emitting elements 8a to 8C are turned on. Here, the number of input/output terminals 1 to I8 of the microcomputer 3 may be provided as required.

In the above configuration, in the case of an air conditioner, the switches of the remote controller 1, which is a remote control device, include an operation self-stop switch and a fan motor speed change switch.

A timer time setting switch etc. can be considered, but by using switches 7a, 7b, . . . yh of the manual input device 7 as switches corresponding to these switches, signals can be input manually. This allows you to check the input status, timer remaining time display, etc.

Therefore, there is no need to operate the remote control 1 every time the inspection work is performed, making the work easier.

As is clear from the above embodiments, a remote control device equipped with a service input/output terminal according to the present invention constitutes a wireless remote control device by a receiving section, a control section, and a transmitting section, and a microcontroller that constitutes the control section. An interrupt input terminal of the computer is provided with an input terminal for inputting a signal from the transmitting section and a manual input terminal for service for manually inputting to this input terminal, and an output for displaying the input status of the micro combinator. By providing a manual input terminal and a display output terminal for the microcomputer, it is possible to simplify and improve the efficiency of work during inspections and services. It has various advantages, such as being able to connect as many display circuits as necessary without having to use a large number of display circuits, thereby increasing the versatility of the micro combinator.
