Abstract

PURPOSE:To miniaturize the titled device, to reduce the weight, and to constitute the device so that various data can be collected, by providing a memory card for storing a data measured by a sensor, on a base body having a control part. CONSTITUTION:A printed board 2 is provided along the longitudinal direction in a flat rectangular parallelepiped-shaped base body 1 having an aperture 1a in one end. The board 2 is provided with a connector 3 having a connecting part 3a in the interior direction of the base body 1, and a battery 4. Also, the board 2 is provided with a sensor 5 for measuring a temperature, etc., a control part 6 for executing a control, etc., of a measured data of this sensor 5, etc. From the aperture 1a a memory card 7 such as an IC card is inserted, and its one end 7a is connected to the connecting part 3a of the connector 3. After the measurement is ended, the base body 1 is collected and the card 7 is taken out, and inserted and connected to a reader/writer 8, by which the stored data is read out. The measured data is processed by a computer 9, and thereafter, such processings as the data is printed by a printer 10, and the data is stored in an external storage medium 11, etc.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a data collection device that collects measurement data from various sensors such as temperature sensors, stores it in a memory, and reproduces it as necessary.

[Prior Art] A data recording device, commonly referred to as a data recorder, collects data from a large number of measurement points, displays it on a display as necessary, and digitally prints the data 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 is small, lightweight, and capable of easily collecting various data using something like a so-called IC card.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a data collection system that includes a base having a control unit that performs measurements using a sensor, and a memory card that is connected to the base and stores data measured by the sensor. It is a device.

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

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a flat rectangular parallelepiped base having, for example, an opening 1a at one end, and a printed circuit board 2 is provided along the longitudinal direction within the base 1. As shown in FIG. This printed circuit board 2 is provided with a connector having a connection part 3a on the opening 1a side of the base 1 toward the back of the base 1, and a power source 4 such as a battery. A sensor 5 for measuring the same, a control section 6 for controlling the measurement data of the sensor 5, etc. are provided. Then, a memory card 7 such as an IC card is inserted through the opening 1a of the base 1, and one end 7a of the memory card 7 is connected to the connecting portion 3a of the connector 3. The power source 4 is configured to supply power to the sensor 5, control section 6, memory card 7, etc. through the pattern of the printed circuit board 2, etc.

As shown in FIG. 2, the control section 6 also includes an amplification section 6a that amplifies the output of the sensor 5, an A-D conversion section 6b that converts the output of the amplification section 6a into a digital signal, and an A-D conversion section 6b that converts the output of the amplification section 6a into a digital signal. The output of the unit 6b is processed and stored in the memory via the RAM 6C.
It includes a micro combicoater (3e) that operates according to the contents of a ROM 6d for storing data in the card 7, a tie 6f that generates a clock signal with a predetermined acquisition cycle, and the like.

Note that these are connected by a data bus 6g.

Alternatively, the entire structure may be made into an 11-tube.

In other words, this box-shaped data collection &! When the device is installed at the required location, the measurement signal detected by the sensor 5 is made to a predetermined level by the amplifier 6a, converted to a digital signal by the Δ-D converter 6b, and the necessary processing is performed by the microronputer 6el. through the data bus 6 and the connector 3;
The data is stored in the memory of the card 7a. Note that the f-data is captured and stored at predetermined time intervals programmed by the timer 6 and the like.

After completing the measurement path, collect this base 1 and store it in the memory
By taking out the door and inserting and connecting it to the reader/writer 8 shown in FIG. 3, the stored data is read out. This measurement data may be printed directly on a printer or displayed on a display, but it may also be displayed on a host computer such as a personal computer after the desired processing, tabulation processing, etc. , or may be printed using the printer 10. The data may also be stored in an external storage medium 11 such as a floppy disk.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment. In this example, a solar cell J and a power source 40 are installed on the outside of the base 1. I am trying to connect it to the box body 1 by replacing it and using it.

In this way, by setting up the small, lightweight base 1 at a required measurement location, recovering it later, and reproducing the data, data collection for various purposes can be easily performed.

[Effects of the Invention] As mentioned above, the present invention provides memory and
Because it connects cards and is an integrated data collection device,
It is small and lightweight, does not require special connections or wiring during measurement, is easy to carry, can be moved with the object to be measured, can be used for product quality assurance, and can be used in a wide variety of applications.
