Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (1) Field of Application of the Invention The present invention is directed to information input into computers, etc., which can accurately and easily handle various information generated at product manufacturing sites, product warehouses, etc. There is something about output devices.

(2) Prior Art Conventionally, these input/output devices include input using mark cards and input/output using a CRT keyboard.

As a result, there have been problems with the reliability of input data and operations have become complicated. Furthermore, although CRTs are versatile as output devices, they have many limitations such as the relatively small number of characters that can be output on the screen and the screen itself is small. A special output device was required. (5) Examples Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to examples.

FIG. 1 is an example of a work progress management device according to the present invention.

Each time a unit work for each product is completed, the corresponding product display pieces 1, 2, and 3 (one for each product are prepared) are moved to the position corresponding to the completed work on the setting board 4. Next, the small piece position/piece pattern determining section 5 and the arithmetic unit 6 identify the moved position on the small piece setting board, and the result is stored in the storage device 7. On the other hand, the work plan for each product is stored in the storage device, and a calculation device compares it with the previous input information, thereby displaying warnings of delays from the work progress plan on the setting board. When registering a new product or deleting a finished product, it is necessary to register or delete the correspondence between the identification signal of each small piece and the corresponding product in the storage device, and this is done in the product display small piece registration device. 8.

That is, a small display piece is set on the device 8, and the product information represented by the display piece is registered using the keyboard on the device 8, etc.
In the setting board 4 and the product display piece registration device 8, various methods of identifying each piece are possible, and one example is shown in FIG.

Metal pins 2, 3, etc. are fixed to the small piece 1, and a socket 8 is attached to the 7 side. 8 has pin insertion portions 9, 10, 11, . . . corresponding to each pin.

A small piece is identified by which pin 6 is connected to pins 2, 3, etc. That is, when the pin insertion part 13 is grounded and the small piece 1 is inserted, the small piece is identified by which pin insertion part is grounded. Another small piece identification example is the third one.
As shown in the figure. Make irregularities on the contact surface of the setting plate of small piece 1,
Attach micro switches 3, 4, etc. to the 2 side. When the number of small pieces is set to 2, the small pieces are identified by the bit pattern caused by the on/off of switches 3 and 4 due to the unevenness of 1. FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the management board (the product display piece and the setting board are collectively referred to as the management board).

The position of the small piece on the setting board indicates the work progress of the corresponding product. FIG. 5 shows an example of identification of the setting plate small piece position and small piece pattern.

By assigning numbers from 1 to N in order to the N sockets arranged vertically and horizontally on the setting board, and knowing the numbers,
Make sure that the position on the board (vertical address and horizontal address) is known. A vertical address signal 1 and a horizontal address signal 2 are input from the arithmetic unit to the decoder 3, which converts them into socket numbers, and only the signal line corresponding to the specified socket number is set to "1".These signal lines , and the identification signals 4, 5, 6, and 7 from the socket are taken for each bit as shown in the figure, and then the logical sum of these is taken for each corresponding bit, and the output signal 8 is designated as the output signal 8. Obtain the bit pattern of the small piece set in the socket.By sequentially changing the address signal from the arithmetic unit and inputting it to the decoder, you can determine where on the setting board,
, it is possible to identify which pieces are configured. (6) Summary As explained above, according to the present invention, each time a unit operation is completed at a manufacturing site, the display piece corresponding to the product can be moved to a predetermined position on the management board by a simple operation. Actual data can be reliably input into a computer, etc.

In addition, since input is performed by moving small pieces, the input results remain on the management board, and the current status can be viewed on the spot at any time, which is very effective when carrying out subsequent work. Furthermore, by adding display functions such as a delay warning lamp and an emergency work instruction lamp to the control board or small piece, it becomes even more effective. As described above, according to the present invention, both input and output functions are provided, and the output function is realized without going through the central processing unit of the calculation function, so it is inexpensive and accurate, and can be used even when the central processing unit goes down. It is possible to configure a management device that can
