Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field]

This invention is directed to an operation in which operation data of vehicles, working machines, equipment such as plants, and a wide range of other machines can be managed in an integrated manner along with other related data using IC cards, laser cards, and other card-type storage devices. Regarding data management systems.

[Conventional technology]

There are various configurations for recording machine operating data and managing operating conditions. For example, in vehicles, there are mechanical tachometers, and alternatively digital systems that detect and record engine speed, running speed, etc. Operating data recording devices are known. Here, mechanical tachometers have drawbacks such as not being able to perform arithmetic processing such as cumulative mileage, and being unable to read accurate numerical values because of the analog display on a small disk-shaped recording paper. Various digital operating data recording devices have been proposed to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, but magnetic tapes, floppy disks, RAM packs, etc. are used as external storage devices for these devices. These external storage bodies have disadvantages such as inconvenience in portability and handling, and high price. Therefore, the present applicants have already published Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 60-39286 and 60-39287, and Japanese Patent Application No. 60-115.
I as an external storage medium for operating data according to Nos. 27 to 9, etc.
A configuration using a C card is illustrated as an example. If this IC card is used as an external memory, the IC memory is embedded within the plastic plate body, so it is resistant to harsh handling, has excellent portability, has a large storage capacity, and is inexpensive. It has the following advantages. On the other hand, magnetic cards, which are plastic cards with a predetermined shape and a magnetic stripe, are used to identify users of predetermined processing operations, and have become widely popular due to their low cost. It is used for time recorders, for recording refueling amounts and tolls at gas stations, etc., and for recording tolls on expressways. However, since IC cards and magnetic cards have traditionally been used separately, it is necessary to carry each separately, and the identification data for each is not unified, so it is difficult to understand each data in an integrated manner. It was difficult.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

The present invention was devised in view of the above circumstances, and relates to a system for managing work data using an IC card, laser card, or other card-type storage medium having a magnetic stripe.

[Means to solve the problem]

【Example】

An embodiment in which the work data management system of the present invention is used in a vehicle data management system will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the work data management system, in which the operation data recording device 4 mounted on the vehicle
A card type storage body 3 into which operational data is written by the operation data recording device 4, and a card processing data management device 5 which is installed at an appropriate location and reads identification data (code) from the card type storage body 3. , a card reading device 6 and a data processing device 7 located in a management office or the like. Further, the card-type storage body 3 includes an operational data storage section 1 for writing operational data and an identification data storage section 2 for storing identification data. In the case of this embodiment, the card type storage body 3 is made of a plastic card having a magnetic stripe as the identification data storage section 2, and has an IC card configuration in which the operational data storage section 1 consisting of the IC memory of the EEPROM of the MPU is built-in. It has become. In the case of this embodiment, the identification data storage section 2 stores in advance an identification code that is the same as the operator's ID code recorded in the operation data storage section 1 as identification data. Next, the operation data recording device 4 includes an IC card reading/writing section 21, a manual switch 40, and an arithmetic processing section (not shown) I having a microcomputer configuration, and is installed in a predetermined component of the vehicle V. A detection unit S that detects the operating state is connected via an interface and inputs a detection signal. In the case of this embodiment, the detection unit S includes an engine oil pressure switch S1 that detects whether or not the engine is operating from the engine oil pressure, and a vehicle speed sensor S2 that detects the vehicle speed, and operation data that is not detected by the detection unit S. is input manually using the manual switch 40. The detection signal inputted from the detection section S is temporarily stored in the main memory of the operation data recording device 4, compressed by the arithmetic processing section, and converted into predetermined recording operation data. That is, to give an example of this conversion process, the detection unit Sl,
Data on whether the engine is running or not and vehicle speed data sampled at 0.5 second intervals by S2 are accumulated for 30 seconds, and whether or not the engine is running is determined based on the accumulated values, or the vehicle speed values are averaged and Converts into data on whether the engine is running or not and vehicle speed data every second. Or 0.
The state of data change is determined based on a preset pattern from data sampled at 5-second intervals, and converted into a combination of patterns. This converted operation data for recording is sent to the operation data storage unit (IC memory )1. Further, when the operator refuels at a gas station while working, for example, the identification code stored in the identification data storage section 2 of the card type storage body 1 is sent to the card processing data management device 5 located at the gas station. It is read and recorded together with processing data such as refueling amount and charges. This card processing data management device 5 also includes, for example,
A time recorder that manages data on the dispatch status of operators, a toll recording device that manages expressway usage fees, and other data recording devices read the identification data recorded on the magnetic card to identify the user, and then process the specified processing data. It is sufficient that the data to be processed and the purpose thereof are related to the work. In this way, the operator uses the card-type storage device 3 to access the card processing data management device 5 during or in connection with the work.
The processed data is recorded in each card processing data management device 5 based on the operator's identification code. In addition, if an IC card (or laser card) is used instead of a magnetic card for accounting in a PO3 (point of sale information management system), the above-mentioned process is directly stored in the operating data storage unit 1 of the card-type storage unit 3. A configuration in which data is written may also be used. Next, the operating data stored in the operating data storage section 1 of the card-type storage body 3 as described above is read by a card reading device 6 located in a management office, etc., and sent to a microcomputer via an interface (R3232C in this embodiment). The data is input to a data processing device 7 having a computer configuration. Further, the processing data recorded in the card processing data management device 5.5 is input to the data processing device 7 by online or manual input or other appropriate means, and is also recorded in the operating data storage unit 1. In this case, the data is input together with the operating data via the IC card reader 6. Since the operational data and related data input in this way have the same identification code, it is possible to perform integrated data processing based on the identification data. Processed data can be output via an external output device. In addition, 8 in the figure is a direct-coupled output device that is directly connected to the operating data recording device 4 via an interface (R3232C in this embodiment), and is a direct-coupled output device that outputs the latest information stored in the main memory of the operating data recording device. It reads and prints out operating data. This direct-coupled output device 8 is used as a device to read out operating data immediately at the operating site.For example, if data for several minutes before and after a trouble occurs is required, the data can be printed out with a printer. . Further, numeral 9 in the figure is a data reproducing device that is integrally equipped with an operating data reading device and an output device, and prints out the operating data stored in the operating data storage section 1 of the card type storage body 3. . Next, if the operating data recording device 4 is provided with a magnetic stripe reading section as well as a data reading/writing section for the operating data storage section, the identification data can be read from the identification data storage section of the card type storage body. The identification data can be recorded in the operational data storage section again via the data reading/writing section. Therefore, in this case, there is no need to input the identification data of the operator etc. using a manual switch etc., and it can be recorded automatically, so there is no need to forget or make a mistake in writing, or the operation data reading device 6 can record the identification data automatically. If a magnetic stripe reading section is provided, the identification data stored in the identification data storage section can be read along with the operating data stored in the operating data storage section without having to record the identification data in the operating data storage section of the card type storage body. It can be input into a data processing device, saving the effort of manually inputting identification data. That is, in this invention, for example, EP
When using erasable FROM such as ROM or EEPROM, the corresponding FR is
All data stored in OM will be erased, so
If it is to be reused, it is necessary to rewrite the identification data, but since the identification data is stored in the magnetic stripe of the identification data storage unit as described above, if this identification data is used as described above, it can be written repeatedly. There is no need to write identification data into the operational data storage section.However, in the present invention, the configuration of the operational data storage section is not limited to the above-mentioned erasable FROM, and of course may be a RAM. As the configuration of the operational data storage unit, an optical storage medium such as a laser card that stores data using reflected light from pits caused by a laser beam may be used.In this case, since the material of the card is a metal material, the above-mentioned It can withstand even harder use than an IC card made of plastic material. This optical storage medium is not limited to FROM, but may also be RAM. Next, in this invention, the identification data is used to identify the operator of the machine. It is not limited to data, and is not particularly limited as long as it is an element of work management, such as machine identification data, work identification data, etc. In addition, the machine referred to in this invention refers to a vehicle, a working machine, This includes all machines in a broad sense that are subject to data management of equipment such as machine tools and plants. Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing the related configuration of the operation data recording device 4 of different embodiments in a vehicle with a work implement. It has a microcomputer configuration including a control section 10, a clock section C, a main memory M, and interface sections IF1 to IF5.That is, the engine operation sensor SJ and the vehicle operation sensor S2 are connected via the interface section IFI. and the work equipment actual work detection section S3 are connected to the control section 10.The engine operation sensor S1 issues an operation (for example, OFF) signal when the engine is rotating, and when the engine is stopped. In this embodiment, an engine oil pressure switch is used that turns on when the engine oil pressure is O and turns off when the oil pressure rises. The rotation speed sensor may be configured to issue an OFF signal when the rotation speed is 0, and to issue an ON signal at other times. In this embodiment, the vehicle operation sensor S2 uses a vehicle speed sensor that detects the running speed of the vehicle, but it issues an operation (for example, ON) signal when the vehicle is running, and a non-operation signal when the vehicle is stopped. For example, it may be a sensor that emits an OFF signal; for example, a position sensor for a speed control lever may be configured to issue an OPP signal when the lever is in the neutral position, and an ON signal otherwise. You can.
jNext, the work machine actual work detection section S
3 indicates that there is actual work when the work equipment is performing actual work (
For example, a work signal detection switch that emits an ON) signal and, when the work machine is not performing actual work, a work signal detection switch that emits an OPP) signal without actual work.In this embodiment, it is turned OFF when the work machine oil pressure is O. Although a working machine oil pressure sensor that turns ON when the hydraulic pressure rises is used, it may be configured to determine whether or not there is actual work based on the position of the control lever of the working machine. The calculation unit 50 provided in the control unit 10 is connected to a clock unit (clock generator) C that inputs time data, and is connected to an engine operation sensor S1, a vehicle speed sensor S2, and a work equipment actual work detection via an interface unit IFI. Each detection signal inputted from the section S3 is sampled at short intervals (0.5 second intervals in this example) to obtain operation status data, and this operation status data is then sampled at a longer period (in this example, at intervals of 0.5 seconds). In the embodiment, operation processing is performed on the operation presence/absence data at 300 second intervals to obtain operation or actual work presence/absence data for the long period. It is also connected to a fixed data external input section 40 for inputting fixed data. That is, the fixed data external input section 40 is connected to a manual input switch 41 and a value setting switch 4, as shown in detail in FIG.
2, a write switch 43, and a cancel switch 44. The manual input switch 41 is a rotary switch that inputs fixed data for each manual input, such as date, identification number of work type and work location, fuel, engine oil, etc.
It is divided into each item of supply amount of gear oil, hydraulic oil, etc. Next, the write switch 43 is turned on after the rotary switch 41 is selected or the value setting switch 42 is set. (fixed data) are written into the main memory M and the operating data storage section 1 of the card-type storage body 3. Therefore, by turning the setting position of the rotary switch 41 to a predetermined item and pressing the write switch 43, the date and time, that is, the time data when the switch is turned on, are stored in the main memory M and the operating data storage. 1 will be automatically recorded. In the case of identification numbers of workers, work places, etc., the identification number data set by the rotary switch 41 and when the write switch 43 is turned on is stored in the main memory M and the operating data together with the time when the write switch 43 is turned on. It is automatically recorded in the storage unit 1. For other fixed data, such as fuel supply amount, turn the rotary switch 41 to the relevant item, set the value of the supply amount with the value setting switch 42, and turn on the write switch 43. The supply amount data is input together with the turn-on time data of the write switch 43 and is recorded in the main memory M and the operation data storage section 1. In this embodiment, the value setting switch 42 is a digital setting switch that sets a numerical value using a button. Furthermore, if these fixed data have been written incorrectly, by turning on the cancel switch 44, the incorrect data can be erased and the correct data can be written again. In this way, each detection signal outputted from each of the sensors S1 to S3 and the operation data inputted from the external input section 40 are sent to the calculation section 50 of the control section 10. Furthermore, in the clock section C, when the operating data storage section 1 is inserted into the data reading/writing section 21, time data is output from the clock section C to the control section 10 in real time, and the accumulated total value up to now is stored from the main memory M. is called to start accumulating operating time. These time data are outputted from the control section 10 to an external display device 5 such as an LED or LCD connected to an external display interface section, which in this embodiment is also used as an interface section IF2 for inputting fixed data. Note that the clock section C ends the output of time data by turning on the end switch 45, which will be described later, and also starts the product i.
The integration of the calculation time is completed, and the integrated total value is stored in the main memory M until the next integration is started. Next, the control unit 10 receives clock data from the clock unit C, fixed data input from the external input unit 40, and each sensor 5.
The operation status data inputted from l-33 is stored in main memory M. On the other hand, this control section 10 is connected to a data reading/writing section 21 via an interface section I3. In addition, 22 is a lamp, and when the operating data storage unit 1 is inserted into the data reading/writing unit 21, the card-in lamp is
An error lamp lights up when the ID codes do not match, and a busy lamp lights up while writing is in progress. Further, an interface section IF5 is similarly connected to the control section 10, and in the case of this embodiment, an R3232C serial communication terminal 17a is provided to allow connection of a terminal, a printer, etc. A maintenance connector 17b is also provided.
It is possible to perform debugging such as modifying vehicle-specific constants (constants used to calculate vehicle speed) that are preset in the control unit 10, reading backup data, and changing date and time settings. The operational data stored and calculated by the control section 10 is written into the operational data storage section 1 by the data reading/writing section 21. Similarly, the predetermined operating data stored and calculated by the control unit 10 is displayed externally by the external display device 5. Note that Vcc is a power supply section that converts the voltage of the vehicle battery into a voltage necessary for the operation data recording device and supplies it to each section. The calculation unit 50 also includes an integrated data calculation unit 50A that integrates vehicle speed and time data, and a system for externally displaying these integrated data and vehicle speed data sampled at short intervals by the vehicle speed sensor S2 in real time. An external display calculation section 50B and an information recording calculation section 50C for compressing operating data and recording it in the operation data storage section 1 are provided. In addition, if the sensors S1 to S3 do not detect numerical data (rotation speed data, etc.), the interface unit IF4
is installed to connect the engine speed sensor S4 and other sensors S
5 may be provided. Numerical data or rotational speed data obtained from these sensors may be recorded in time series, or may be accumulated over a certain period of time and processed as an average rotational speed, and the average rotational speed may be calculated in the period of the accumulated time. It may be stored as numerical data or as statistically processed data such as a histogram. The operating data obtained in this way is stored in the main memory M
When a certain amount of data has been stored in the memory, it is written to the operating data storage section l, but when the operator turns on the end switch 45 at the end of the entire operation (-day), the unwritten operating data in the memory is saved. A configuration is adopted in which the information is written into the operation data storage section 1 together with the end switch turning time which is the work end time. In addition, here, the vehicle speed sensor S2 or engine rotation speed ↓
The detection signal inputted from the sensor S4 is processed as data for recording as appropriate, and is displayed in real time as vehicle speed data or engine rotation speed data by an external display device 5 such as an LED,
It may be externally displayed digitally using an LCD or the like, or analogously using a meter. In the case of this embodiment, as described above, the interface section IF
An external display device having an LED configuration is connected through the I and mounted on the vehicle, and displays the above-mentioned speed and engine rotational speed in addition to the above-mentioned time and cumulative time. As a result, the operation data storage unit 1 stores i) Engine operating state data ii) Vehicle operating state data iii) Work equipment actual working state data 1v) t@ separate data (work location, etc.) ■) Fuel supply amount data a) Engine oil b) Gear oil c) Hydraulic oil, etc. vi) Engine rotation speed statistical data

) You can write mileage data, etc. In the operating data storage device configured as described above, the device is activated by an operator turning on a main switch (not shown) of the vehicle. Here, if the card-type memory 3 is not inserted into the data reading/writing section 21, the cardless mode is selected by the control section 10, and if the vehicle speed sensor S2 and the engine rotation speed sensor S4 are provided, they are selected. S2. Based on the data from S4 and the clock section C, operation data (real-time vehicle speed data, time data, mileage data, engine rotation speed data, integrated time data) is generated via the integrated data calculation section 50A and the external display calculation section 50B. etc.) is displayed on the external display device 5 and continues repeatedly until the termination switch 45 is turned on, but no operational data is recorded. On the other hand, when the card type storage device 3 is inserted into the card insertion hole of the data reading/writing section 21 of the device, the card-in lamp lights up and the control section 10 selects the card presence mode. The data reading/writing section 21 reads the ID code recorded in the operational data storage section 1 and determines whether or not the ID code matches the operational data recording device. When the ID codes match, the operating data storage section 1 becomes writable, and the time is displayed on the external display device 5. When writing is in progress, a busy lamp is lit to prevent the card-type memory 3 from being removed. If the ID codes do not match, the error lamp flashes and a buzzer sounds to notify the operator of the mistake and do not repeat the process until the correct card type storage device 3 is inserted. Next, the operator operates the manual input switch 4 and the value setting switch 42 to set the type of work, work location, etc. as an identification signal as necessary, and then presses the write switch to save the data to the main memory M. and is stored in the operating data storage section 1, and at the same time, the time at that time is also stored. If engine oil, gear oil, hydraulic oil, etc. are supplied at any time during operation, the operator sets the manual input switch 41 to each item.
Operate the value setting switch 42 to set the supply amount value. When the setting is completed, by turning on the write switch 43, the data set as described above is stored in the main memory M and the operating data storage section 1 along with the time. Also, if the above set is incorrect, cancel switch 4
4, the data recorded in the main memory M is erased, and correct data is set again by the above procedure. Also, when the operation starts, the detection signals from each sensor S1 to S3 for detecting operation/non-operation data are sent to the interface section IFI.

, 5 second intervals) is obtained, and then it is processed into operation data at long intervals (300 second intervals) and stored in the main memory M, and short-cycle detection signals (operation/non-operation data) are also obtained. Depending on the storage capacity of the IC card,
The data is stored in the main memory for a certain amount of time in the past (latest), is rewritten (updated), and is written into the operating data storage section 1 via the data reading/writing section 21. At the same time, sensor S2 for detecting numerical value (rotation speed)

4 to the operating data recording device. As described above, this sampled detection signal is directly output as numerical value (rotation speed) data to the external display device 5 in real time, and is also subjected to appropriate data processing and stored in the main memory M. When the operator turns on the end switch 45 at the end of the work when the main switch of the vehicle is turned off, the unwritten operation/non-operation data is written into the IC card. Further, by turning on the end switch 45, the end time data from the clock section C, the integrated value data of the integrated time, and the mileage data are written into the operating data storage section 1. Next, the operational data thus stored in the card-type storage body 3 is read by an external operational data reader 6 and further inputted to an external computer 7. Thereafter, the related data from the card processing data management devices 5, 5, etc. is transferred to the external computer 7 as in the above embodiment.
