Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the miniaturization and wt. reduction of the titled apparatus and to easily collect various data, by providing a sensor, a memory and a control part to a substrate having an arbitrary shape such as a card shape and storing the data measured by the sensor in the memory by the control part. CONSTITUTION:When this data apparatus comprising a card-shaped substrate is provided at a necessary area, the measuring signals detected by sensors 21, 2 are brought to predetermined levels by amplifying parts 31, 32 and converted to digital signals by an A-D converter part 4 while the digital signals receive necessary processing by a control part 5 and data are stored in a memory 6. After the finish of measurement, the substrate 1 is recovered, and inserted in and connected to a reader-writer 10 to read the measured data stored in the memory 6 through the terminals 8 and data bus 9 of the substrate 1 and said data are directly printed on a printer or displayed on a display device or subjected to operational processing or table forming processing by an upper rank calculator 11 to be displayed and the data is printed by the printer 12 or stored in an external recording medium.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is a data collection system that collects measurement data from various sensors such as a humidity sensor, stores it in a memory, and reproduces it as necessary. I! It is related to the device.

[Prior art] A data recording device, which is usually called a data recorder, is
Data from a large number of measurement points is collected, displayed on a display as necessary, and digitally printed using a printer.

[Problems to be solved by this invention] However,
Such a data logger requires a display, a printer, a terminal board for connecting lead wires from a large number of sensors, and the like, resulting in a large device.

In view of the above points, it is an object of the present invention to provide a data collection device that uses something like a so-called IC card, is small in size, is timeless, and can easily collect various data.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention is a data collection device in which a sensor, a memory, and a control section are provided on a base having an arbitrary shape such as a card shape, and data measured by the sensor is stored in the memory by a control section. .

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a configuration explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a card-shaped base such as an IC card, and this base 1 includes a sensor 21 for detecting 1 degree, a sensor 22 for detecting humidity, and a predetermined sensor 21, 22 for outputting the outputs of these sensors 21, 22. Amplifying section 31 that amplifies the level
．． 32. An A-D converter 4 that converts the output of the amplifiers 31 and 32 into digital data, a control unit 5 such as a microcomputer that performs overall control, a memory 6 that stores data, etc., and these circuit elements. A battery or other power source 7 for supplying power, a terminal 8 for taking out the output of the memory 6, etc. are provided. Note that the A-D conversion section 4, the control section 5, the memory 6, and the terminal 8 are connected by a data bus 9.

In other words, if a data collection device made of this card-like base is installed at a necessary location, the measurement signals detected by the sensors 21 and 22 are brought to a predetermined level by the amplification sections 31 and 32.
The data is converted into a digital signal by the A-D converter 4, subjected to necessary processing by the smart unit 5, and stored in the memory 6. In addition, data is taken in and stored at predetermined time intervals programmed by a machine, etc. in the I and II Ogoribu 5 units.

After the measurement is completed, the base body 1 is collected and inserted into and connected to the league lighter 10 shown in FIG. Via the data bus 9, the measurement data stored in the memory 6 is read out.

This measurement data may be printed directly on a printer or displayed on a display, but it may be printed directly on a printer or displayed on a display, but it may be
It may be displayed or printed by the printer 12. Further, the data may be stored in an external storage medium 13 such as a floppy disk.

By installing the small, lightweight base 1 at the required measurement location, collecting it later, and reproducing the data, data collection for various purposes can be easily performed.

Note that various types of sensors can be used as the sensors 21 and 22, and they may be formed by vapor deposition or other methods on the substrate constituting the base body. Further, the calculation units 31, 32, the A/D converter 4, the control unit 5, and the memory 6 may be further combined together to reduce the number of elements, or may be configured as one element.

[Effects of the Invention] As mentioned above, this invention combines a sensor and a memory into one
Since it is a data collection device with a base like an IC card, it is small and lightweight, does not require special connections or wiring during measurement, is easy to carry, and can be moved with the object to be measured, and can be used for product quality verification. It can be used for a wide variety of t1 applications.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

FIGS. 1 and 2 are configuration explanatory diagrams showing one embodiment of the present invention.
