DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a file storage device, and more particularly to a file storage device that stores a large number of files and searches for files.

(Prior Art) An example of a conventional file storage device that forms the background of this invention is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 11604/1983. In this conventional file storage device, when searching for a file, the first display section displays the address of the storage section in which the file to be searched is stored.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In such a conventional file storage device, when searching for a file, the corresponding storage unit is searched from the address displayed on the first display unit located away from the file. Since you have to search for it, it takes time and effort.

Moreover, in such conventional file storage devices, the space of the storage section for storing files is determined according to the thickness of the original file, and the space of the storage section for storing files is determined according to the thickness of the original file. Since the address is fixed, for example, if the thickness of the file increases,
Files cannot be stored in storage units at predetermined addresses; in other words, the correspondence between files and addresses is misaligned, making it impossible to search for files.

Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a file storage device that allows the user to easily check the storage position of a file to be searched by placing it right in front of the file storage section even if the file thickness increases. It is to provide.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a cabinet having storage sections for storing a plurality of files, each of which is formed in the cabinet in proximity to each of the maximum number of files stored in the cabinet. a plurality of display means for inputting search data for searching for files; a search means for searching for a specific file according to the search data from the input means; and means for displaying a display means formed close to a position where the searched files are to be stored, and the cabinet is formed so as to be able to store individual files close to each of the plurality of display means. Further, the means for displaying the display means is a file storage device configured to be able to display at least one of the plurality of display means close to the file searched by the search means.

(Operation) Individual data of files stored in the storage section, for example, is registered in the search means, and the search means searches for files according to the search data input from the input means. Further, power is supplied to a display means formed close to the location where the searched file is to be stored, and the corresponding display means is displayed. The cabinet can store files in a position close to a plurality of display means.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, since the display means formed close to the location where the searched file is stored is displayed, it is possible to easily confirm the location where the corresponding file is stored. can. Furthermore, even if the amount of stored files increases and the thickness of the file increases, the location of the file can be easily confirmed.

1000 files 50,50. ..., for example, rooOJ, rooIJ, r
002''..., r999J are displayed, and the barcode section 54 includes, for example, the heading section 5.
Barcodes corresponding to the numbers displayed in 2 are displayed.

For example, if the amount stored in the file 50 is small and the file 50 is thin, the file 50 is stored only in the first cabinet 12, for example. In this case, in the cabinet 12, the storage sections 142 to 14e are partitioned by the partition plate 16 to form 100 storage areas 18, 18°, . . . . As particularly shown in FIG.

Similarly, the second storage section 14 from the top
The storage areas 18 of b are determined to have addresses, for example, "20", r21J, . . . , r39J, in order from the left side. Similarly, the addresses of the storage areas 18 of the storage units 14C, 14d and 14e are as follows, starting from the left side:
For example, the addresses are determined to be "40" to r59J, r60J to "79", and "80" to "99", respectively.

And 1000 files 50.50. ...
are respectively stored in the storage area 18 having the same address as the last two digits of the index section 52. That is, in the storage area 18 at address "00", "000J, rloooJ, r
200J, ..., "900J number heading section 52
Similarly, other files 50 are stored in the storage areas 18 at addresses corresponding to the last two digits of the heading section 52. Note that the file 50 is stored in one storage area 18, for example, with the first digit number (0, 1, . . . ) of the heading section 52.

On the other hand, for example, if the amount of storage in the file 50 increases and the thickness of the file 50 becomes thicker, the files 50, 5
0. . . . represents the first cabinet 12 and the second cabinet 12.
It is stored separately in two cabinets 12'. in this case,
The partition plates 16 of the cabinets 12 and 12' are the one closest to the car and every other partition plate on the right side.
Removed from within 2a-12e. Thus, each of the cabinets 12 and 12' will have 50 storage areas 18 formed therein. In this case, these storage areas 18 include "OO" to "OO" as shown in FIG. 5B.
The address "99" is determined. That is, the storage area 18 of the upper storage section 14a of the first cabinet 12 is partially filled with the original "00" and "00"
The storage area with the address ``1'' has been integrated to create a new storage area with the address ro OJ, and the storage areas with the original addresses ``02'' and ``03'' have been integrated to create a new storage area with the address ``02.'' As shown, the transparent part 30 of the transparent plate 28 at the lower left side

and the same numbers as shown in 30b", r03. J
, . . ., only odd addresses of r19J are determined. Similarly, the storage section 14b of the first cabinet 12
, 14C, 14d, and 14e, for example, except for odd addresses <r20J to "38", r40J
~ r58J, r60J ~ "78" and "80" ~ "9"
The storage areas 18 of the storage sections 14b, 14c, 14d, and 14e of the second cabinet 12' are determined to have only even-numbered addresses such as ``21'' to r39J, r41J to r59J, excluding even-numbered addresses, respectively. , r61J~
Only odd-numbered addresses "79" and "81" to "99" are determined, respectively.

In these storage areas 18, files 50, 50°, . . . corresponding to the addresses are stored, respectively, in the same way as described above. In this case, the storage area 18 is the fifth A
Since it has twice the space of the storage area shown in the figure, each storage area stores files 50 that are twice as thick as the files 50 that can be stored in the storage area shown in Figure 5A. You will be able to do this.

These cabinets 12 and 12' are connected to a microcomputer main body 100, and this microcomputer main body 100 (FIG. 1) includes a CPU, an R.
In addition to OM, RAM, etc., a floppy disk drive unit 111 constituting an external storage section is built-in. A keyboard 104 and a barcode reader 106 constituting input means are connected to the computer main body 100, as well as a CRT display 114 and a printer 120 as output devices.

Briefly, first, a selection command inputted from the keyboard 104 selects either an expansion mode that expands the storage area space or a normal mode that does not. Based on the search data entered from the keyboard 104, for example, the name, address, age, and other item codes and code numbers, the micro combiator main body 1
The CPU in 00 searches for individual data of files registered in ROM, floppy disk, etc. This individual data is stored in each file 50, 50, . ... and the storage positions of those files 50 (the number of stages in the storage section, the address of the storage area, and the arrangement position within the storage area), and
As a result of the search, the light emitting diode of the display section 20 that is close to the storage area 18 where the file 50 is to be stored is activated. In this case, the light emitting diode 24 of the display section 20

and emits light. Therefore, the position and address of the storage area 18 of the file 50 can be identified by the lighting of the light emitting diodes 24a and 24b, and furthermore, the position of the file 5o in the storage area 18 can be identified by the lighting of the light emitting diodes 26a to 26j. It can be confirmed from. In this case, regardless of which mode, extended mode or normal mode, is selected by the selection command, the light emitting diode at the corresponding position emits light.

Next, the circuit configuration of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG. 7 and the like. The control circuit of this file search device 10 includes a CPU 100a included in a microcomputer main body 100 (FIG. 1).

Electric signals from a keyboard 104 and a barcode reader 106 are applied to the CPU 100a via an input ink face 102. Also, this CPU 100a
is RAM108. It is connected to a ROMll0 in which operating programs and the like are written and a floppy disk drive unit 111. This disk drive unit 1
11 acts as an external storage device, and data can be written to or read from a floppy disk 111a used therein. The floppy disk 111a can store input data and data read by a reading device, and can store all files 50, 50, . . . used in the file storage device 10 of this embodiment, for example. Item codes such as the person's name, address, age, etc., the code number, the number of stages indicating the location of the storage section in which the file is stored, the address of the storage area, and the arrangement position within the storage area are written in correspondence in advance. ing. Therefore, it is possible to search for a storage location in which a desired file is stored using only either the item code of the file or its code number as search data.

The output of the CPU 10Qac 75 is connected to the CRT display 114.1 via the output interface 112.
0 LED drives 118a to 118e, '118
a' to 118e' and a printer 120 are connected.

The outputs of the LED drives 118a to 118e include the first

In this case, regarding the upper stage of the first cabinet 12, as shown in FIG. 8, the LED drive 11
8a is provided with one power supply Vcc, 20 output lines a0° to a19 for area selection, and 10 output lines b0 to b for line position selection. In addition, in this FIG. 8, especially the upper left and right LED boards 22-
00 and 22-19, and since the light emitting diodes 24a and 24b are turned on and off at the same time, they are shown with the symbol of one light emitting diode. And each LE
The anode of each light emitting diode 24a and 24b of the D board 22 is connected to the power supply Vcc, and the cathode of these light emitting diodes 24a and 24b is connected to the same LED.
The cathodes of the light emitting diodes 26a to 26j on the board 22 are commonly connected to each other. Furthermore, the anodes of the light emitting diodes 26a to 26j of each LED board 22 are
They are respectively connected to ten output lines b0 to bq for selecting the arrangement position. In addition, light emitting diodes 24a and 24b
The cathodes of are respectively connected to 20 area selection output lines a0° to a19 corresponding to the positions of the LED boards 22.

Therefore, the corresponding storage area is selected by the 20 output lines a0° to a19, and the alignment position within the corresponding storage area is selected by the 10 output lines b0 to b. For example, "00"
When selecting the row position of "0" in the storage area at the address, the output line a0° for area selection is set to the rLJ level,
Also, the output line b0 for line position selection is set to the "H" level, thereby lighting up the light emitting diodes 24a, 24b, and 26a of the corresponding LED board 22-00.

Similarly, other LED boards 22, 22 . ... and the LED boards 22, 22 . . . of the second cabinet 12'. ...is, LE
D drives 118b to 118e and 118a' to 1
18e', respectively.

Note that these light emitting diodes may be connected in opposite directions. In this case, the power supply Vcc is grounded, and the output line aoO""a19 connected to the corresponding light emitting diode is set to the rHJ level, and the output lines b0 to b9 connected to the corresponding light emitting diode are set to the rLJ level. You can configure it as follows.

In addition, when you enter an expansion mode command to expand the storage area, especially
For odd addresses 99J, the second cabinet 1
The corresponding light emitting diode 2' is configured to light up.

That is, when the normal mode is selected, the corresponding light emitting diode of the first cabinet 12 is turned on, while when the extended mode is selected, the corresponding light emitting diode of the first cabinet 12 is turned on for even addresses. For odd-numbered addresses, the corresponding light emitting diode of the second cabinet 12' is turned on.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, when the power is turned on, each part is initialized in the first step s1. Thereafter, in the next step S3, the operator inputs either a normal mode command or an extended mode command using the keyboard 104. In this case, if files are stored in the first cabinet 12 as storage areas with addresses "00" to "99" as shown in FIG. 5A, a command for the normal mode is input.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, if files are stored in the first and second cabinets 12 and 12' as storage areas at addresses ro 0J to "99", an extended mode command is input.

In step S5, the CPU 100a determines whether the command input manually in step S3 is a normal command or an extended command. If it is a normal command, the process advances to step S7. Furthermore, if an extended mode command has been input, the process advances to step S23, which will be described later.

In step S7, the user inputs file data such as the item code of the file 1o to be searched or its code number, or various commands using the keyboard 104. Note that in this step S7, file data of the file 50, etc. may be input using the barcode reader 106.

In the next step S9, the CPU 100a determines whether the number of file data input in step S7 exceeds 10. If the number of data items exceeds 10 items, an error process is performed, and if the number of data items is less than 10 items, the process advances to the next step Sll.

In step 5117-, the CPU 100a determines whether the command input in step S7 is a search command. If it is not a search command, the process returns to step S7. If a search command is detected in this step Sll, the process advances to step S13.

In step 313, the CPU 100a performs step S7
File data is searched from the input data, for example, from the contents of the floppy disk 1lla (Fig. 3), and further, based on the searched file data, the storage area 18 corresponding to the corresponding file 50 is stored. A signal for causing the light emitting diodes of the LED board 22 to emit light is provided to the LED drives 118a to 118e via the output ink face 112. Based on the signal, the LED drive 118a-IL8e supplies power (not shown) to the light emitting diode of the LED board 22 corresponding to the storage area 18 in which the retrieved file 50 is to be stored.
to the corresponding light emitting diode 24a',
24b, 26a to 26j are made to emit light. therefore,
The position and address of the storage area 18 where the file 50 to be searched is stored can be confirmed by the light emission of the light emitting diodes 24a and 24b. Furthermore, by the light emission of the light emitting diodes 26a to 26j, the line position of the file 50 to be searched in the storage area is determined by G'l L'.
l can.

In the next step S15, the file 50 is taken out from the cabinet 12 or returned to the cabinet 12 based on the light emission from the light emitting diode.

In this case, the number of the header section 52 of the file 50 to be retrieved or returned may be read by the barcode reader 106, inputted using the keyboard 104, or written in a ledger. by cabinet 12 of that file 50
It is possible to manage the storage status of items.

In step S17, the CPU 100a determines whether a command to turn off the light emitted from the light emitting diode has been manually entered using the keyboard 104. If it is determined that the light emission of the light emitting diode should be turned off, the light emitting diode is turned off in step S19.

In the next step S21, the CPU 100a determines whether a command to turn on the corresponding light emitting diode has been inputted via the keyboard 104 or not. If it is determined that the corresponding light emitting diode should be lit again, the process returns to step S13 and the light is emitted again. If not, the process returns to the first step S1 and each part is initialized.

On the other hand, in step S3, if an extended mode command is input and the process proceeds to step S23, steps 323 to 337 are performed in steps S7 to S described above.
Processing such as searching is performed in the same manner as up to 21. However, in this case, in step S31, the corresponding light emitting diode is turned on, but the lighting of this light emitting diode is ro IJ, ro 3J, . . .
If an odd numbered LED board of ``99'' is selected (searched),
The light emitting diode in the second cabinet is illuminated.

Therefore, in the expanded mode, files stored in cabinets 12 and 12' can be searched. In this way, if the file 50 is stored in the first and second cabinets 12 and 12', a thicker file 50 can be stored compared to the case where the file 50 is stored only in the first cabinet 12. It is.

In the above embodiment, when the expansion mode is selected, even-numbered storage areas 18 are formed in the first cabinet 12, and odd-numbered storage areas 18 are formed in the second cabinet 12'.
However, for example, the transparent plate 28 is
If the numbers shown in bit 0a and bit 30b are "00" to "r49J" for the first cabinet 12 and "50" to "99" for the second cabinet 12', then the two cabinets 12.12 ' By replacing the stickers so that they are lined up in the order of "00" to "99", the addresses of the storage area 18 can be changed from "OO" to "99" as shown in FIG.
” can be arranged in order. in this way,
In order to arrange the addresses of the storage areas 18 in the order of "OO" to "99", for example, a transparent plate may be formed to be insertable and the transparent plate may be replaced.

In this way, by rearranging the addresses of the storage areas, the files can be rearranged and stored accordingly. In addition,
In order to display the location of the corresponding file using the light emitted from the light emitting diode of the display section, a transparent plate for displaying the address of the storage area in numbers may not be provided.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the storage sections of one cabinet are formed in five vertical stages, but the arrangement and number of the storage sections can be changed as desired. Further, in the above embodiment, the five storage sections of one cabinet are divided into up to 20 storage sections each to form 100 storage sections, but it is possible to form up to 100 storage sections in one cabinet. In order to achieve this, for example, one cabinet may be formed with four storage sections vertically and each storage section divided into 25 sections, or the storage sections may be formed into two longitudinal sections and each section divided into 50 sections. It may be divided into pieces.

Further, in the above-described embodiments, the display section is provided at the bottom of the storage area, but the display section may be provided at the top of the storage area or on the left and right sides of the storage area. When the display section is provided on the left and right sides of the storage area, the display section may be provided on a partition plate or the like.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a light-transmitting plate was provided in front of the light-emitting diode to display the address of the storage area, but a 7-segment display LED may be used instead of the light-emitting diode and the light-transmitting plate. good.

Note that the cabinets 12 and 12' of the above-mentioned embodiments include:
A circular location lamp 40 is provided above each of them. This location lamp 40 is used to indicate the corresponding cabinet 12, 12' when lit.

Two or more such location lamps may be provided in one cabinet so that one location lamp is hidden while the other location lamp is visible.

Note that this location lamp can also be used in other shapes other than circular, such as rectangular.
