Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a patrol recording device suitable for use in security patrols of various facilities such as factories, warehouses, buildings, and schools.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional security patrol recording device (patrol/
The system) sets multiple check positions along the patrol route of each facility, installs a number key at each check position, and equips patrollers with a patrol recorder (patrol recorder) equipped with a clock mechanism and a printing mechanism. The number keys placed at each check position are inserted into the recorder's key hole and rotated manually.The number of the key and the current time are sequentially printed on a roll of paper, and the number keys are inserted into the key hole of the recorder and rotated manually. It was a record of the patrol.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Therefore, when using a mechanical patrol recorder configured as described above, records cannot be obtained unless the number key is inserted into the recorder's key hole and rotated each time the check position is reached. The work is quite complicated, and it is also troublesome to insert the number key into a small key hole in the dark, and what's more, the way the number key turns.

Prints (records) may become unclear due to a malfunction of the printing mechanism. There was such a problem.

In addition, in the case of the above-mentioned mechanical patrol recorder, various irregular matters such as changes in patrol route or patrol time are not recorded, so it is necessary to write notes on recording paper each time, or use a separately prepared patrol recorder. There were problems in understanding the status of patrol abnormalities, such as recording them in logbooks. Furthermore, in addition to incorporating a clock mechanism and a printing mechanism inside the machine, it was necessary to increase the strength of the case in order to protect these machine grooves from external shocks. There were problems in that it was heavy, making it extremely inconvenient to carry.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to simplify the structure of the recorder by digitizing the entire system (microcomputerization), and to make it possible to record patrols and time. In addition to being able to easily and conveniently perform these tasks, it also records irregularities such as misidentification of the patrol route, recording of irregularities, and deviations from the allowable patrol time between each point. In order to achieve each of the above-mentioned purposes, the object is to provide a patrol recording device that is devised so that each mark for confirmation is printed out on a roll paper separately from other normal patrol information so that it can be easily understood. The first invention according to this application includes a coder each having a different code and disposed at each check position on the route, and a coder that is inserted into each of the coders. A patrol unit associates a position code and a patrol time with each other and files them in a storage unit in order, reads out each patrol information consisting of the position code and patrol time filed in the storage unit of the patrol unit, and rolls this information. The central unit is configured with a central unit that prints out on paper, and the central unit has a patrol route setting means that sets the order of the coders into which the patrol units are inserted, and each code that is stored in the storage section of the patrol unit. A route change output means is provided which compares and checks the order of the code machines with the set order of the code machines, and prints out an irregular mark for route change on roll paper together with the tour information if the order is different. Further, the second invention is characterized in that the central unit having the above-mentioned patrol route setting means further includes a permissible time setting means for setting a permissible time for patrolling between each of the coders, and a memory of the patrol unit. Compare the elapsed time between each coder calculated from each patrol time filed in the department with the permissible time set above, and if the elapsed time deviates from the permissible time range, the abnormal time will be determined. The apparatus is configured to include an abnormal time elapsed mark output means for printing out the elapsed mark on the roll paper together with the above-mentioned circulation information.

[Effect]

Since the patrol recorder according to the present invention has the above configuration, when the patrol unit (guard) inserts the patrol unit into the coder installed at each check position on the patrol route, the coder is stored in the memory of the unit. The code and current time are written. After completing this writing at the check position of each patrol route and inserting the patrol unit into the central unit, each of the above patrol information written in the memory of the patrol unit will be sequentially read out, and the printer will print it onto paper. However, at the time of printing out, in the first invention related to this application, it is determined whether or not the tour was carried out correctly according to the preset route, and the route is changed. If necessary, print out irregular route change marks as well. Further, in the second invention, when the elapsed time spent between each coder is compared with a preset allowable time, and it is determined that the elapsed time is outside the allowable time range, Print out the abnormal time lapse marks as well.

〔effect〕

Since the patrol recording device according to the present invention is as described above, it is suitable for implementation in various facilities such as factories, warehouses, buildings, and schools, and is particularly suitable for recording at each check position. Simply inserting the patrol unit into the coder allows extremely easy and accurate recording.Also, the patrol unit is entirely electronic and has no printing device, making it extremely lightweight and compact. It has the advantage of being very convenient to carry when traveling.

In addition, in the present invention, both the patrol unit and the central unit are microcomputerized, so if the patrol route is changed or a mistake is made due to circumstances, or if an accident occurs during the patrol, the records cannot be recorded. If the permissible time has exceeded, or if the user is lazy and completes the tour in a shorter time than the allowable time, as a result of checking with the basic program, the system will not only print it out, but also It also has the advantage of being able to quickly and accurately grasp the situation by printing various irregular marks and abnormal time lapse marks. This is truly groundbreaking.
