Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve operability by arbitrarily dividing a display screen into two longitudinally or transversely and giving an increase key function to divided one and giving a reduction key function to the other and relating the graphic profile display and the data set operation to each other. CONSTITUTION:Graphic profiles 23 and 24 are select elements of a set item. Consequently, an upper half 25 of the display screen has the increase key func tion and a lower half 26 has the reduction key function when a pertinent line, for example, a first injection speed 23a is touched for the purpose of selecting a data item to be set. A middle part 27 is changed to a part which has no functions, and the selected injection speed 23a is flickered and a set data display part 21a and a set item 21b are flickered simultaneously, and input is possible. Data is inputted to a memory when the flickered data item display part is touched again at the time of input operation, and simultaneously, the display picture is expanded or reduced in accordance with the size of data as shown by 23b and 23c. Data is changed by touch operations of keys on upper and lower halves 25 and 26.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a touch input display device equipped with a touch panel having key elements that can be seen through and that is mounted over the display portion of a CRT display device.

<Prior Art> A conventional device will be explained using FIGS. 3 and 4 as examples of screen displays necessary for controlling the injection process of an injection molding machine. Fig. 3 shows the timer display setting section 10 for maintaining the injection pressure and filling pressure from the upper stage.
.

Items necessary for various settings such as the injection filling pressure display setting section 11, the injection speed display setting section 12, and the injection speed switching position display setting section 13 are displayed on the CRT screen. To explain the operations in these conventional devices using the timer display setting section 10, in the case of FIG. Select a setting item by touching one side of the plurality of numerical display sections 15 provided corresponding to the above, and input numerical data to the selected item using C.
Settings and setting changes are performed using a numeric keypad (not shown) provided outside the RT device. In the case of Figure 4, a numeric keypad 16 is displayed on the CRT screen at a predetermined position, and numerical data is input by touching the numeric keypad 16.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, in the former device, the numeric display section 15 and the numeric keypad of the numeric input section were separated from each other, which impeded operability. The latter can only display data excluding the numeric keypad display area, so
When it is desired to display all related data on the same screen, there are restrictions on the visibility of the display.

In addition, when using the numeric keypad input method, even when changing a set value slightly, all numerical values must be input anew. For example, when changing the setting from 201.5 to 2115, if you use a digital switch type setting device, change the value in the tens place to '
All you have to do is change it from 0'' to 9°1'', but if you use the numeric keypad input method, you will have to re-enter all the digits instead of just changing the digits you want to change.

The drawback was that it took a lot of time to set up the settings.

Furthermore, when setting data for profile control is displayed in a graph ink profile, it is easy to grasp the image intuitively, but when using the graphic profile display together with setting data, it is difficult to make the setting data relate to the setting operation. , Graphic Profile 4 - The display effect could not be fully utilized.

The present invention was made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and it not only displays setting data numerically but also intuitively by using a graph ink profile display for setting data for profile control. While making it easier to grasp the image, it also uses the line group of the graphic profile display as a selection element for setting items.

The aim was to improve operability by associating graphic profile display with data setting operations.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a CRT display section that displays a large number of setting items, and a see-through device that has a key element mounted over the CRT display section. A touch panel and a graphics profile display screen for profile control that changes operating conditions such as speed, pressure, and rotation speed of one process of the injection molding machine in multiple stages according to the operating position of the movable parts of the molding machine or the time from the start of operation. The graphic profile display screen displays the changed values when the operating conditions such as speed, pressure, rotation speed, etc., the operating position of the movable part for switching these, or the set value of the time from the start of operation are changed. In a touch input display device that expands and contracts depending on the size of the
The graphic profile display screen section was removed.

Or, divide the display screen containing this into two parts using any method such as vertically, horizontally, etc.

The touch input display device is characterized by having an increase key function on one side and a decrease key function on the other side, and the increase and decrease key function parts are only used when an operation selection for data setting is made. This touch input display device has a valid display portion that enables the function and further indicates that the function is valid.

<Embodiment> Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 in the case of multi-stage program control of the injection speed and injection pressure in the injection process of an injection molding machine. 2 surrounded by chain lines
1 shows the setting data display section of the profile control section for the injection speed (the example shows the case of 4 stages), and the upper row shows the injection speed,
The lower row displays the injection speed switching position. Similarly, 22 indicates the setting data display section of the injection pressure profile control section, the upper row shows the pressure action time, and the lower row shows the injection pressure value (
The example shows a case of four stages). The thick line graph 23 is the graph ink profile of the injection speed set in the injection speed display section, and the thick broken line graph 24 is the graphic profile of the injection pressure. Both graphic profiles 23 and 24 are selection elements of setting items. ing. Therefore, to select the data item to be set, touch the corresponding straight line 9, for example, the first injection speed 23a, and as shown in Figure 2, the display screen will display the upper half 25 of the increase key function and the lower half 26 of the decrease key function. The intermediate portion 27 changes to a portion having neither function, and at the same time, the selected first injection speed 23a changes to a blinking display, and at the same time, the corresponding setting data display section 21a.

The setting item 21b is also displayed blinking and can be input.

The operation is entered into memory by touching the flashing data item again or by selecting another item, and at the same time, to make the profile image clearer, the data The display screen expands and contracts as indicated by chain lines 23b and 23c depending on the size.

Further, data can be changed by touching the upper half 25 having an increase key function and the lower half 26 having a decrease key function.

<Effects of the Invention> According to the present invention, the problem of poor operability due to the distance between the numerical input section and the numerical display section as originally mentioned, or the problem of restrictions on the visibility of data display, and the problem of graphic profile display can be solved. The problem related to the data setting operation has been solved, and only when the numerical input section is required for the display section (during data input), the upper half of the display screen increases the key function, and the lower half of the display screen decreases the key function. Since it now has a key function, the problems of restrictions on operability and data display visibility are not only solved at once, but the display screen can expand and contract depending on the size of the data for profile control. The profile image looks very clear.
