Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the position where the support plate 30 is spaced apart from the base plate 20 is referred to as a first position, and as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the position where the support plate 30 is in close contact with the base plate 20 is coupled to the second position. It will be defined and explained.

The support plate 30 has a plurality of mounting portions 31 formed therethrough to receive and support the plurality of segments 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, respectively. The segments 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46 and 47 are mounted to be accommodated in the mounting portions 31, respectively. The segments 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, and 47 mounted on the mounting part 31 are rotatable in the first position and are interfered by the base plate 20 in the second position. Rotation is suppressed. In addition, the support plate 30 has a through portion 33 opened adjacent to the mounting portion 31. A protrusion 24 protrudes from the top surface 20b of the base plate 20 so as to correspond to the through part 33. Therefore, in the second position, the protruding portion 24 is inserted into and coupled to the penetrating portion 33, thereby determining the mutual bonding position between the base plate 20 and the support plate 30, and suppressing torsion and the like. You can do it.

In addition, a contact surface 25 protruding in a shape corresponding to each of the segments 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 is provided on the top surface 20b of the base plate 20. The contact surface 25 is formed to protrude so that the segments 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 come into contact with and are supported in the second position, whereby the segments 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 can be prevented from moving in the second position and can be stably supported.

The segments 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, and 47 are detachable to each of the plurality of mounting units 31, and are rotatably installed when combined. These segments 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 have a display surface A provided in a predetermined color and a non-display surface B. FIG. Therefore, by selectively rotating the segments 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, and 47 so that the display surfaces A are combined, a predetermined number can be displayed. The segments 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, and 47 have similar configurations to each other, and thus, one of the segments 41 will be described in detail as follows. As shown in FIG. 5, the segment 41 has a plate-shaped segment body 41a and a pivot shaft 41b formed at each of both ends of the segment body 41a. As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the pivot shaft 41b is detachably coupled to the bearing groove 37 formed in the support plate 30, and is pivotally supported when coupled. Here, the bearing groove 37 is formed to a predetermined depth from the rear surface 30a of the support plate 30, and is formed to communicate with the end surface 31a of the mounting portion 31. Specifically, the bearing groove 37 has a guide portion 37a formed to have a width larger than the diameter of the rotation shaft 41b to guide the engagement of the rotation shaft 41b, and the width gradually increases from the guide portion 37a. The neck portion 37b formed to have a width equal to or smaller than the diameter of the pivot shaft 41b so that the pivot shaft 41b can be forced by an external force, and the pivot passed through the neck portion 37b. The coaxial 41b has an axial seat portion 37c that is rotatably received. When the pivot shaft 41b of the segment 41 is forcibly inserted into the bearing groove 37 having the above configuration by an external force, the pivot shaft 37 is attached to the shaft seat portion 37c by a so-called one-touch method. 41b) is coupled to be in a rotatable state, and the rotating shaft 41b is not easily separated to the outside by the neck portion 37b. Of course, it is natural that the rotation shaft 41b can be separated from the bearing groove 37 by forcibly applying force to the segment 41. Accordingly, when any one of the plurality of segments 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 is broken, the broken segment can be easily separated, and then replaced with a new segment to be easily mounted. Maintenance costs can be reduced.

In addition, referring to Figure 3, the other end of each of the base plate 20 and the support plate 30 is provided with a locking coupling part 50 that can be mutually locked and separated from each other. The locking coupling part 50 is formed at the other end of the support plate 30 so as to be able to be coupled to and detached from the locking groove 51 formed at the other end of the base plate 20 and the locking groove 51 in one-touch manner. It has a locking protrusion 53. In addition, the other end of the support plate 30 adjacent to the locking projection 53 is formed to protrude an operating projection 55 for applying an external force for the separation of the locking coupling portion (50).

The numerical display device according to the embodiment of the present invention having the above configuration is displayed by rotating the segments 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 only when the support plate 30 is in the first position. You can change the numbers. In the state where the support plate 30 is located in the second position as shown in FIG. 3, the segments 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, and 47 are not rotated. It is possible to prevent the change. That is, to change the number, the segments 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 must be rotated, in which case the non-managers are not aware of the connection between the support plate 30 and the base plate 20. Therefore, since it is not easy to know how to operate the segments 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, it is possible to fundamentally prevent the change of the number by the non-administrator.

In addition, in order to rotate the segments 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, the support plate 30 is moved to the first position as shown in FIG. In the state in which the and the support plates 30 are in close contact with each other, the overall thickness of the numeric display device can be significantly reduced as compared with the related art. Therefore, the thickness can be made relatively thinner than the prior art number display device, it is easy to install the numeric display device produced in this manner attached to the notice board.

In addition, the segments 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 are individually detachably installed in the mounting portion 31, thereby the segments 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47. In case of failure or damage, it can be replaced and installed separately.

In addition, in the numeric display device according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a light emitting device 170 is provided on one surface of the segments 141, 142, and 143, and the light emitting device 170 is selectively selected.

The switching unit 180 may include connection parts 181 and 182 provided on the defecation of the segments 141, 142 and 143 and an upper surface of the base plate 120 so as to be turned on / off according to the rotation state of the segments 141, 142 and 143.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the segments 141, 142, and 143 may be connected to each other by the connection parts 181 and 182 in a state where the LEDs 171 are exposed to the outside, thereby supplying power to the LEDs 171 to emit light. . On the contrary, as shown in FIG. 8, the segments 141, 142, and 143 are in an inverted state so that the LEDs 171 are not exposed to the outside, so that the connection parts 181 and 182 are electrically shorted to each other, and thus power is supplied to the inverted LEDs 171. It does not become and does not emit light.

Therefore, since power is supplied only to the LEDs 171 exposed to the outside, the desired number can be selectively displayed.

On the other hand, the power cable for supplying power to the connecting portion (181, 182), and the connection terminal, etc., since the general technology can be applied, detailed description thereof will be omitted. In addition, the LED 171 may be installed on the support plate 130 while being supported on a separate substrate, not shown.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, the switching unit 280 for selectively determining the lighting of the LED 171 according to the rotational position of the rotational shaft 41b of the segment includes a rotational shaft 41b and a support plate. And first and second connecting portions 281 and 282 formed in the bearing grooves 37, respectively. According to the above configuration, when the LED 171 is positioned to be exposed to the outside (state of FIG. 9), the first and second connection parts 281 and 282 are in contact with each other and electrically connected to each other, thereby turning on the LED 171. On the contrary, when the pivot shaft 41b is rotated such that the LED 171 is hidden as shown in FIG. 10, the first and second connection parts 281 and 282 are separated, and the LED 171 is in a blinking state.
