Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] For measuring body mass. This is a measuring device equipped with a sound generating device that makes it unnecessary to watch the scale of the measuring device by appealing to the auditory senses to inform you of the deviation between the target value of measurement and the measured value of the foot being measured.

Traditionally, heavy duty measuring instruments. Movement measuring device, also. Temperature measuring instruments used as instruments in chemical plants have a digital or analog type display such as a light display or a pointer type display, and the numerical value shown on the display can be read in the body. While taking measurements, all operations such as increasing/decreasing the amount of the object to be measured, moving the measuring point, heating, etc. in 8 must be performed on the measuring section. For this reason, you must pay close attention to both your hand and the display. This not only reduces work efficiency. Depending on the type of measurement work, taking your eyes off the object to be measured 7)) may pose a danger.

Non-inventiveness eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks. By setting measurement target values in advance. Since this is a measuring device that informs the measurer of the deviation value between the measured value and the target value of the object to be measured in full audio, the measurer can hear the excess or deficiency t of the object to be measured. , since the measurement work can be carried out while keeping an eye on the object to be measured, it is safe and easy to use.

This is because it is a measuring device that can perform measurements quickly.
street.

As shown in the flowchart of the attached drawing, an example of the measuring device according to the present invention includes a calibration section 11 and a speech synthesizer section 21.
It is a measuring device IO consisting of. The weighing section 11 includes a linear encoder 12, which is a type of sensor, an amplifier 13, a setting section 14, and a comparator 15. Device illusion, storage device C, speech synthesis conversion unit z5. and spill force 28.

The linear encoder as the sensor I2 in the calibration section 11 determines the size of the object to be measured detected by the calibration section B in the measuring device 10, or the amount of movement of the cage based on the weight of the object to be measured 12, etc., to a predetermined voltage, etc. Convert it into an electrical signal, and
- Electrical signal amplifier 13KA11!1 width and sent to comparator 15. In addition to receiving the electrical signal sent from the sensor 12, the comparator 15 also receives from the setting section 15 an electrical signal corresponding to a value preset as a measurement target value by the setting section 14.

The electric signal from the comparator 15 and the setting section 14 and the sensor 1
All electrical signals from the two are compared, and an electrical signal corresponding to the deviation value between the measured value and the target value is output depending on the difference between the two electrical signals. Denkiko interface 17 corresponding to this deviation value
It is sent to the audio device 21 via f.

In addition, in this embodiment, the measurement start setting section 1 is included in the calibration section 11.
6, and if no measurement is performed, interface 1
7 disconnects the calibration section 11 from the voice synthesizer section 21 to prevent the speaker of the voice synthesizer section 21 from emitting too much unnecessary sound. Memory device f24. It consists of a speech synthesis conversion section 6 and a speaker 28. This central processing unit 23
is a CPU controller of a microcomputer, which edits the audio sentence based on a control program and a signal corresponding to the deviation value sent from the calibration section 11 via the interface 17.

Note that the input from the calibration section 11 to the central processing unit ff123 may be inputted via the input/output control section η after passing through the interface 17i as shown in the attached drawing.

The storage device 24 uses an erasable read-only memory such as KFROM, and stores control programs for operating the entire CPU controller, audio digital data, and the like.

The voice digital data edited by the voice synthesis conversion unit 25 and the central processing unit n is converted into an analog voice signal by DA conversion, and this analog voice signal is filtered to remove harmonic noise components and passed through an amplifier. The measured deviation value is amplified by N and transmitted as a sound from one speaker, thereby allowing the auditory sense of the person to sense the measured deviation value.

Note that the audio digital data stored in the storage device 24 is divided and stored into numerical values, units of measurement, and words such as words indicating an equivalent relationship of excess and deficiency.

In this way, since it is a microcomputer that stores audio digital data on a word-by-word basis and can write 31L editing blog hum in one sentence, the example "3 grams missing" and "1
i? Store data in OM.

When reading out one of the data in sentence units, only the numerical value is different, and T words indicating the unit such as ``Rinmu'' and words indicating the relationship of excess and deficiency such as ``Insufficient'' and ``Doing'' are used. Words such as 6 are duplicated in each sentence, and the required storage capacity becomes enormous.In contrast, in the present invention, there is only one digital data of words common to each sentence, so editing is performed by replacing numerical parts. For example, it is possible to create combinations of many sentences such as r3J rgram, F shortage, and shiru. Koyokan's memory device, Jun's, will be sufficient.

Also, if audio digital data is made into phoneme units, it is possible to reduce the cost of audio data, but the @ collection program is complex and requires a relatively large capacity storage device. On the other hand, non-invention is a numerical value.

Since there are a total of 610 units in terms of word units such as surplus/deficiency relationships, one editing program can be made simple.

In addition, as an example of the present invention, 1 will be explained in the case of a weighing scale and a measuring meter.

It can also be applied to physical, chemical, and electrical detection units for measuring length, temperature, quantity of electricity, etc.

As described above, one aspect of the present invention is a measuring device jjtlO consisting of a calibration section 11 that measures the mass, size, length, etc. of an object to be measured, and a speech synthesizer section 21 (!), in which the calibration section 11 mainly includes a sensor. 12. Amplifier 13. Setting section 14. A speech synthesizer section 21, which is composed of a comparator 15 and connected to the calibration section 11 via an interface 17, is mainly a microcomputer with a central processing unit 23 and a storage device, and a speech synthesis system. Conversion unit 25. Consists of a speaker edict, which converts the value of the difference between the measured mass, size, or length of the object to be measured and the setting value originally set in the setting unit 14 as audio from the speaker name using the microcomputer. This is a measuring device with a sound generating device that outputs sound.

As described above, since this is a measuring device that notifies the measurer of the deviation value, which is the difference between the numerical value such as the mass of the object to be measured and the numerical value such as the target mass, by voice, the measurer can hear the deviation value of the measured object. It is possible to know the shortage f of the measuring device, and there is no need to watch both the person on the display of the measuring device and the person performing the measurement operation. can be done quickly and safely.

Furthermore, by storing the audio digital data in the storage devices in units of words, it is possible to easily and inexpensively manufacture a chat measurement device that can be used as a measurement device with a voice generator using a small-capacity storage device. It also has benefits.
