Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent line separation of input recording, and to save recording paper, digit-printing a data in the feed direction of the recording paper. CONSTITUTION:The initial time is inputted by an operating setting part 7, also is inputted to a central processing unit 8, and it is stored in a read/write memory 10. The central processing unit 8 inputs time counting and a pulse input of each circuit, which is inputted from an input part 6, in accordance with a program decided by a read-only memory 9, and in case when there is an input at each circuit, the read/write memory 10 stores it by adding it to the previous contents. The central processing unit 8 converts a data of a print buffer area in the read/write memory 10 to a character pattern by ''character generator'' stored in the read-only memory 9, in accordance with a prescribed format, and thereafter, outputs it successively to an outputting circuit 11.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention uses, for example, a "one-dot printer that prints letters or numbers using a dot pattern" to print the counting results of a large number of watt-hour meters on recording paper at predetermined intervals. This relates to the placement of a multi-circuit record # that is continuously printed and recorded.

In this conventional horizontal circuit recording device, if you set the printing digit for each input and try to print each counting result on one line,
There are limitations in relation to the number of digits of the "dot printer" and the number of input circuits.

Figure 1 shows an example of printing by this conventional long-circuit recording device, where (1) is a recording paper that is fed at a predetermined speed in the direction of arrow (F), and (2) is a paper that is fed perpendicularly to the feeding direction of this recording paper. 5-digit time stamp printed in the direction of (3A) (3B)
k2 Space for 2 characters + 41 14 + 4 digits 2 circuits @1 and 2nd input data printed in the same matrix as the time stamp 2) separated by k, the number of each of these prints is 17 in one line
Requires digits. Therefore, when using a dot printer with 17 digits per line and printing the same content as shown in Figure 1 above, it is possible to print in one line on one recording paper (1). However, if the input data is printed in two or more circuits, or if there are other printing items or a large number of prints, increase the number of printing digits on the 1-dot printer, or print in three or more lines as shown in Figure 2. Or, the second input data print (3B) is printed on the bottom line of the first input data print (3B), and then the sixth input data print is printed on the bottom line of this second input data print (3B). Input data printing (3
There is no other way than to print C).

However, in the conventional printing method as described above, a series of input records is divided into multiple lines vertically.1. '' The problem is that the amount of recording paper (1) used is extremely large because it is not a printing process in which the reading becomes K<, but multi-line printing is performed in the feeding direction of the recording paper.

This invention was made with attention to this point, and is a multi-circuit recording device that prints data in digits in the feeding direction of recording paper to prevent the above-mentioned line breakage of input recording and to save recording paper. f
jIt is intended to provide this.

That is, FIGS. 3 to 7 all show an embodiment of the present invention. First, in the block diagram shown in FIG. 6, (5) is a multi-circuit recording device, and (6) is The input section, σ), which inputs the measurement pulse signal of the counting result transmitted from the electricity meter at a predetermined time interval, is 1, for example:

A read/write memory (11) for temporary storage is an output unit that outputs the data output from the central processing unit (8) to a printer (12) such as a line printer.

Next, FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the installed print head section of the printer (12), in which (14) is the direction of the arrow fFl) the recording paper (11) [corresponding print The head (16) is a heating dot formed in the form of a thin film on the alumina substrate (15), and this heating drum) (16)z

It is printed on the surface of...

Since the multi-circuit recording device of the present invention is configured as described above, in FIG.
K import, read/write memory (10) K store this. Next, the printing time limit is similarly inputted from the operation setting section K, and this is stored in the read/write memory (10)K. Furthermore, multiple start signals are similarly input to the operation setting section K, and these are stored in the read/write memory (10) K5. Next, 1 the central processing unit (8) performs timekeeping and input section (8) according to the graph determined by the read-only memory θ).
6) Take in the pulse input of each circuit input from
If there is an input for each circuit, read/write memory (10)
& Add gK from the previous time and store this. Then, the timing contents and the printing time limit, for example, if the printing time limit is every 60 minutes, if the timing contents become 11 o'clock, the printing time limit is K.
- Since the reading/writing memory (10)K stored at 11:60 am, each circuit data, etc. stored in the reading/writing memory should be cleared after being transferred to the print file (sofa area). being done.

Next, the central processing unit (however) converts the data in the print buffer area in the read/write memory (10) into the data stored in the read-only memory θ) according to a predetermined format.
After converting it into a character pattern created by the character generator JK, the output circuit (11) ec sequentially outputs it.

For example, in the case of the printing example shown in FIG. 5, [0I17J "month [61...

This machine prints the characters ``口'' 1-6 ``口'' in the same manner as below, prints each time limit, then feeds the paper, and then clocks and weighs according to the set time period. It is designed to print and record on 6 self-recording paper (1).

As described above, according to the multi-circuit, self-recording device of the present invention, if the space between data is 4 dots, up to 10 times yI (when printing in the horizontal direction, the space between characters is 2 dots, the character 5 As ×7 dots, 17 digits ×7 dots 119
Since it can be printed in 17 digits (calculated as a dot), it can be printed on recording paper (
1) Use tht work,! Compared to the conventional type shown in Figure 2, the number of characters printed in the feeding direction of the recording paper is significantly reduced, and the number of dots decreases from 7 to 5 dots, reducing the number of troublesome times to replenish the recording paper. This has the excellent effect of reducing running costs. Also, according to this invention, the data is printed in digits in the feeding direction of the recording paper (1), so there is no need for manual recording to be separated into lines, unlike the above-mentioned conventional method. , the same circuit data are lined up horizontally in the direction of recording paper feeding, making it extremely easy to read (not just a record with no digit printing restrictions), for example, a record where data must be collected at regular intervals. It is extremely useful as a device.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, a horizontal line type line dot printer was described, but it goes without saying that the same effect can be obtained with a vertical line type dot printer. In one embodiment, the input section (6
A case will be described in which a 4K metering pulse signal, for example, a power needle, etc., is inputted, but it goes without saying that analog bolts and other signals may also be inputted to the input section. Furthermore, as in another embodiment shown in FIG.
If you print with the top and bottom in the opposite direction from the state shown in the figure, it will be easier to remove the recording paper and examine the data.
By printing older data on the left side and sequentially printing newer data on the right side, it is possible to make the recording paper easy to read.
