Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention detects the alcohol concentration in the exhaled breath of an employee when leaving the room, and when it is determined that the concentration exceeds a certain set value, an alarm and display is provided. The present invention particularly relates to a time recorder with an alcohol check that is suitable for use in preventing or controlling drunk driving.

[Prior art]

Nowadays, drunk driving has become a major social problem. Several proposals have been made to prevent drunk driving.

For this purpose, a detection device for detecting the alcohol concentration in the exhaled breath of the driver is installed on the body of the vehicle, and, for example, a signal transmission system is installed between the main body of the device installed on the vehicle body and the detection device. You can either connect it with an electric cord and then take it out by extending the electric cord from the main body of the device during testing, or you can fix the detection device to the unit and attach it to the driver's mouth during testing. A system is known that allows the driver to approach the driver's breath, and if alcohol is detected in the driver's breath, a red lamp, for example, +-7, will be displayed, or a control signal will be output to automatically trigger the driver. Devices are also known that are configured so that the ennon does not operate even if the key is inserted.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, with Moe's method, the electrical cord may become strained when trying to store the detection device into the main body of the device after the test, making the device difficult to operate;
There are restrictions on the mounting position of the device, and there is also the disadvantage that the driver is forced into an unreasonable posture when bringing the driver's mouth close to the detection device.

In addition, both of these types are installed on each car body of the personal computer, requiring expensive installation costs, and for this reason, they are not widely used at present.

Furthermore, it is extremely inconvenient when the vehicle needs to be driven quickly.

The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and includes a detection device that detects the alcohol concentration in the breath of an employee and a detection device that detects the alcohol concentration in the breath, and an output signal from the detection device that detects whether the alcohol concentration is within the permissible range. A calculation device that determines whether or not the work is detected and a display device that displays the calculation output signal are housed, and the time of arrival and departure is printed on the time card by blowing breath into the detection device, and the alcohol concentration in the breath exceeds the permissible range. At that time, the printing device that displayed the II information and alcohol was activated.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a time recorder with an alcohol check that can be suitably used to prevent drunk driving by drivers or to control employees.

[Means for solving problems]

The configuration of the present invention that achieves this objective is that a time recorder that prints the time of arrival and departure on a time card has a detection device that houses a detection element that detects the alcohol concentration in exhaled breath, and an output signal of this detection device that detects the concentration of alcohol in exhaled breath. It is equipped with a calculation device that determines whether or not the alcohol concentration is within the permissible range, and a display device that displays a calculation output signal. The gist is that when the alcohol concentration in the alcohol exceeds a permissible range, an output signal from the arithmetic unit drives a warning and a printing device that displays alcohol.

[Action of the invention]

As explained above, the time recorder with alcohol check of the present invention is equipped with a detection device that detects the alcohol concentration in the breath of the employee and an output signal of this detection device in the time recorder used by employees when they go to work. The time recorder of the present invention operates as shown in FIG. 7 when the time recorder of the present invention is used. be.

That is, when an employee comes out and inserts the time card S into the holder of the time recorder T, it is confirmed by, for example, a phototube, and the switch is turned on 47, and the constant voltage power supply 42 sends the alcohol detection element 3 of the detection device 1 to the thermistor 2a, 2.
bl: When power is supplied and heating starts, the display changes from [SUNBI] to [TEST] when 9 alcohol detection element 31 thermistor 2a HZb reaches the set temperature of temperature control unit 48. change.

Here, the employee blows exhaled air onto the blowing lid 4 of the detection device 1. When the alcohol concentration in exhaled breath is below the set value, [Pass] is displayed, and when it exceeds the set value, [Alcohol] is displayed. At the same time, the arrival and departure times are printed on the time card S, and if the alcohol concentration exceeds the set value, an alarm 58 is issued.
The printing device 57 that displays alcohol is activated and printed on the time card.

After printing, when the time card S is taken out, it is checked by a phototube and the switch is turned off, stopping the supply of electricity.

This work is done in an extremely short time. First, alcohol detection element 3. Since the thermometers 2a and 2b are cold, it takes a long time to warm up the temperature, but from the next employee's check, temperature control (22) 48 makes it extremely short.
test]. The display after exhalation is mostly done in terms of time.

Therefore, when conducting alcohol checks on a large number of employees,
It can be processed without any congestion.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, since the time recorder of the present invention cannot print out the time of arrival and departure without an alcohol breath test, it is extremely effective in controlling employees, especially in preventing drivers from driving under the influence of alcohol.

Unlike conventional devices, it is not necessary to install the device on the white line of the vehicle body, so it can be installed at low cost and can be useful for checking by many employees.

Furthermore, if a storage device or the like is added to the time recorder of the present invention, it is possible to centrally manage the working status of employees.
