Controlled by the microcomputer 70 to obtain the mileage.

The stepping motor for driving the recording needles 18A and 18B is controlled and rotated by the microcomputer 70 according to the state of the switch 1 indicating the travel distance and the crew shift.

9 is a block diagram showing the hardware structure of the microcomputer 70. The microcomputer 70 basically consists of a CPU 70a, a RAM 70b, and a ROM 70c.

The CPU 70a is connected to the travel sensor 80 and the encoder 64 through the interface 71a, and is connected to the changeover switch 5 and the switches 26, 27, 55 through the input port 71b. .

In addition, the CPU 70a has a clock mechanism for the recording needles 18A, 18B and 18C and the tray 21, respectively, and a stepping motor driver 72a corresponding to the recording needle lifting means 50 via the output interface 71C. To 72e).

The drivers 72a and 72b are connected to stepping motors (not shown) for the recording needles 18A and 18B, respectively, the driver 72c is connected to the stepping motor 63, and the driver 72d is connected to the clock mechanism. The driver 72e is connected to the stepping motor 51.

In the ROM 70c, the driving pulse input interval t output from the traveling sensor 80, the encoder pulse output from the encoder 64, the state of the switching switch 5, the opening of the switches 26, 27, 55, and Each type of program executed by the CPU 70a, such as a stepping motor 51, a stepping motor for driving the recording needles 18A and 18B, and a program for calculating the number of driving steps for the stepping motor 63 according to the closed state. Save it.

The CPU 70a executes the process according to the program and selectively outputs the result to each of the drivers 72a to 72e.

Next, with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 10 and 11, a process executed by the CPU in accordance with a program stored in the ROM will be described.

As shown in FIG. 10, after power is applied to the vehicle recorder to start program execution, it is determined whether or not a signal for detecting the position of the lift frame has been input from the switch 55 (step S1). . If no signal is input (NO in step S1), if the lifting frame 54 is positioned at the lower limit position, it is forward rotation at the given number of steps to move the lifting frame 54 to the upper limit position in step S3. The stepping motor 51 is driven. The program then proceeds to step S5.

On the other hand, if a signal for detecting the position of the lifting frame is input (YES in step S1), the program jumps to step S5 by skipping step S3.

In step S5, it is determined whether or not a signal supplied from the switch 27 indicating whether the tray is completely received. When no signal is input (NO in step S5), step S5 is repeated until a signal is input. When a signal has been input (YES in step S5), step S7 determines whether or not a signal indicative of the tray lock closed state has been input from the switch 26.

If no signal indicating the locked closed state is input (NO in step S7), step S7 is repeated until the signal is input. When a signal is input (YES in step S7), the encoder pulse supplied from the encoder 64 is taken in step S9. In step S11, a pulse value indicating that the recording needle 18C is located at its original position is confirmed. That is, the value 0 indicates that the recording needle is located at the graduation position 10h which is 0 km / h on the recording paper 10 of the tray 21 located at the data recording position.

If the encoder pulse value is not zero (NO in step S11), the drive step number of the stepping motor 63 is calculated to return the recording needle 18C to its original position which makes the encoder pulse value zero. do. In step S15, the stepping motor 63 rotates forward by the calculated number of steps, and then the program returns to step S9.

If the encoder pulse value is zero (YES in step S11), the stepping motor 51 is driven with the driving step number given in step S3 to lower the lifting means 54 in the step S17 to the lower limit position. Rotate in reverse direction.

Then, in the state where the recording needle is brought into contact with the recording paper 10 in step S19, the recording needle 18c is moved by the given length from the graduation position 10h, which is 0 km / h, toward the center hole 10a. The stepping motor 63 is rotated forward by the given number of drive steps.

Also, as shown in FIG. 11, the clock mechanism to rotate the turntable 22 to determine whether or not a travel pulse is input from the travel sensor 80 in step S25 in step S23. Starts to drive.

In addition, when the travel pulse is input (YES in step S25), the program proceeds to a data recording process (step S27) for calculating the travel distance and travel speed based on the travel pulse. According to the calculated result, the stepping motor 63 and the like are driven, and the recording needles 18A and 18C are moved in accordance with the traveling distance and the traveling speed, and then the program proceeds to step S29.

On the other hand, if the traveling pulse is not input (NO in step S25), the program skips step S27 and whether or not a signal indicating the locked state is input from the switch 26 in step S29. Determine.

If a signal indicating a locked state is input (YES in step S29), the program returns to step S25, and if no signal is input (NO in step S29), step S31 is clockwise. The instrument is stopped and the program then returns to step S3.

In this embodiment, step S27 of the flowchart of FIG. 11 is a data recording process corresponding to the first driving means 701, and steps S19 and S21 of the flowchart of FIG. 10 correspond to the second driving means, Steps S5 and S7 and the switches 26 and 27 constitute the detection means 705 and the steps S9 to S17 correspond to the interruption means 707.

The operation of the embodiment is now described as follows.

When the power starts to be supplied, the lifting frame 54 rises to the upper limit position in accordance with the forward rotation of the stepping motor 55, and the recording needles 18A, 18B, and 18C record data as shown in FIG. Initially, the position of the main body 1 is set higher than the recording paper 10 on the tray 21 positioned at the position.

In this state, the tray 21 is taken out to the recording paper exchange position at once so that the recording paper 10 is set on the rotary table 22. Thereafter, the tray 21 is completely accommodated in the main body 1 so as to come to the data recording position, so that the rear end of the tray 21 has a spring plate (not shown) so that the switch 27 outputs a signal indicating that the tray is fully received. 27C) and the tray 21 come into contact with each other. In addition, the key inserted into the key hole 24a pivots the lock 24 from the unlocked position 24C to the locked position 24b, thereby outputting a signal indicating the state in which the switch 26 is locked. The driving piece 25 is in contact with the spring plate 26A so as to contact the spring plate 26A.

Therefore, with the forward rotation of the stepping motor 63, the recording needle 18C is moved to the upper position just above the scale 10h, which is 0 km / h of the recording paper 10 on the rotation table 22. As shown in FIG. In addition, as the stepping motor 55 reversely rotates, the recording needle 18C comes into contact with the scale 10h, which is 0 km / h of the recording paper 10.

Furthermore, in accordance with the forward or reverse rotation of the stepping motor 63, the recording needle 18C moves from the graduation position 10h, which is 0 km / h, toward the center hole 10a by a given length, or the recording needle Go back in contact with 10).

In this way, as shown in FIG. 3, the information D indicating that the tray 21 has been moved from the recording paper exchange position to the data recording position in the main body 1 is below the graduation position 10h of 0 km / h. It is recorded in the extra area of the recording paper 10 located.

Then, the rotary table 22 starts to rotate, and then the traveling pulse is output from the traveling sensor 80, and the recording needle 18C causes the recording needle to record the recording paper (in accordance with the forward or reverse rotation of the stepping motor 63). In contact with 10), move to the length corresponding to the traveling speed. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, the traveling speed data E is recorded in the traveling speed recording area 10e. Similarly, by the recording needles 18A and 18B, the mileage data and the crew shift information (not shown) are recorded in the mileage recording area 10C and the crew shift recording area 10d, respectively.

Next, in order to extract the recording paper 10, the lock 24 is turned from the lock closing position 24b to the lock opening position 24C by inserting a key into the key hole 24a. As shown by the dotted line, the driving piece 25 is detached from the spring plate 26C, the output of the signal indicating the locked state is stopped from the switch 26, the rotation of the turntable 22 is stopped and stepping As the motor 55 rotates forward, the lifting frame 54 moves up to an upper limit position so that the recording needles 18A, 18B, and 18C are spaced apart from the recording paper 10.

In this state, the tray 21 is again pressed into the main body 1, and the engagement of the latching member 1D and the engaging projection 21B is released, so that the pinion 21A causes the tray 21 to have the rack 1A. Starts to rotate by the elastic force of the coil spring located at the bottom of the tray 21 so as to move toward the recording paper exchange position.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the tray has reached the recording paper exchange position, the recording paper 10 is extracted from the rotating table 22 or replaced with a new recording paper 10. FIG. Thereafter, the tray 21 is moved from the recording paper exchange position to the data recording position, the tray 21 is held at the data recording position by engaging the latch mechanism 1B with the engaging projection 21B, and the key is locked 24 ) Is pivoted from the unlocked position 24C to the locked position 24b and the key is withdrawn from the keyhole 24a.

At the same time, as described above, in accordance with the outputs of the switches 26 and 27, the recording needles 18A, 18B and 18C move toward the tray 21. However, if the new recording paper 10 is not mounted on the rotary table 22, the tips of the recording needles 18A, 18B, and 18C are only slightly spaced from the tray 21 so as not to contact the tray 21. Stops

Incidentally, a means for detecting the presence of the recording paper 10 mounted on the tray 21 may be provided as a matter of course. In this way, when the tray 21 is held at the data recording position, the lock 24 is pivoted to the locked position 24b and there is no recording paper on the tray 21, and the switches 26 and 27 in step S17.
