Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to electronic informatics, in particular to handheld personal computers, and is intended for use in industrial processes.

State of the art

A device and a method of its use for self-monitoring when performing technological processes by a human operator are proposed. The analogs of the proposed operational pocket personal computer autocontroller are existing handheld personal computers including the widely known ones: BE-300 (Business Edition-300); Casio Pocket Viewer; Casio PV; Rex 5000; Soft Book Reader; Pocket PC; Palm 105; Palm m505; and other handheld personal computers. Signs of analogues that coincide with the existing features of the claimed invention are as follows: size - fits in the palm of your hand, the case is made of light aluminum alloys or plastic, the presence of a flash memory card (Compact Flash Card), onto which information is downloaded from a personal desktop computer, the presence of a screen, energy supply - rechargeable batteries, availability of an operating system, cradle sync cable (a bed in which a pocket personal computer is inserted to charge batteries and synchronize with desktop m computer).

At the same time, existing handheld personal computers cannot be used as an autocontroller of a technological process with the desired effect, as when using the proposed design of an autocontroller, since a feature of an operational handheld personal computer autocontroller is the presence of color fixation on the screen of the next completed technological process item and an audible alarm in in case of scrolling of an unsecured next point of the technological process. As well as the idea of using the proposed design of an operational pocket personal computer autocontroller for self-control by the operator of the technological process during its implementation.

The justification of the need to create a device for an operating pocket personal computer autocontroller and with its help the organization of control over the implementation of production processes follows from the analysis of existing and existing negative phenomena and incidents resulting from imperfection of a person as an operator of technological processes due to the presence of such qualities as forgetfulness, distraction negligence. These qualities of the human psyche negatively affect its activity as an operator of technological processes, which leads to defects. Analysis of accidents and emergencies in the Navy and other areas of production shows that their cause is largely a violation of technological processes by the human operator due to the imperfection of his psyche, which in this case showed negative qualities: forgetfulness, distraction, and negligence. There are many examples confirming this factor in a human operator. Here are some of them.

In 1981, on the Karelia passenger ferry, due to forgetfulness, the watchman’s shift officer didn’t remove the swinging wings protruding 2.5 meters from the side when the vessel approached the port.

When the vessel moved along the berth, the wing caught on to the berth and, together with the side skin, was torn out, the engine room was flooded through the resulting hole, and the ship lay on the ground. Raising a ship and repairing it cost millions of dollars in foreign currency.

A little later: the “Fedor Chaliapin” turbo ship moored at the pier of Varna. The captain and his assistants left the bridge to continue their duties.

The officer in charge of the watch, forgetting to give the “hang up” command to the engine room, also rushed to continue to fulfill his duties: to be at the gangway. Arriving at the bridge, the electrician began the scheduled preventive inspection of the machine telegraph (the device that controls the main machines), for this purpose he set the telegraph to "full speed". The mechanics located in the engine room at the control panel completed the command. The vessel tore the mooring ends, piled onto the hydrofoil Comet ahead, and drowned it. The costs of raising and restoring the Comet resulted in a large amount.

In 1972, ship repair work at the Shota Rustaveli m / v at the shipyard in Ilyichevsk, including work in diesel fuel tanks located under 3rd-class passenger cabins and crew cabins, was completed.

The workers who carried out the work in the tanks forgot to close the necks of these tanks at the end. The 3rd mechanic forgot to check the closure of the necks of the tanks. The ship was preparing to go abroad, the engine personnel began to receive diesel fuel.

Accepted fuel from fuel tanks through open necks poured into cabins and filled them to a height of one meter.

23 hours were left before the reception of passengers. All this time the whole crew washed, cleaned, scrubbed the above cabins. The scandal did not happen. It could have been worse.

In 1982, the m / v “Taras Shevchenko” stood in Odessa at the passenger berth and began to receive fuel from the bunker. An electrician after checking the fuel level alarm in an overflow tank forgot to turn on the alarm. The 3rd mechanic forgot to check the alarm, but hoped for it, did not visually control the bunkering process. As a result, there was an overflow of fuel overboard in the amount of 7 tons, polluting the port water area. The cost of cleaning the water area was significant.

In 1981, on the Rossiya diesel electric ship, when approaching Yalta, on one of the main engines, the engine speed regulator failed. The ship stopped at the outer roadstead of Yalta pending the elimination of the problem. There was a delay when installing the backup regulator on the engine - the regulator did not sit in its place.

When we figured out the reason, it turned out that the regulator is of a different modification. Finally set the desired regulator. The ship entered the port with a delay of 3.5 hours, with a planned stay of 5 hours. The reason for the delay is that they forgot to mark the modified regulator according to the passport data when storing it on the ship.

From the history of the navy. Submarine "K-19" after docking, when filling the dock with water did not emerge because they forgot to give the mooring ends. Everything was frightened, but it could have been worse.

Finally, they forgot to remove the “insole”, a metal object 20 cm long, 8 cm wide, from a television broadcast on December 8, 2009, in a hospital during a surgical operation, found this during a fluoroscopy several days later. According to the operating sister, this phenomenon has happened repeatedly.

The same thing happened in another hospital on March 31, 2010 - during the operation they forgot a napkin in the operated woman and sewed up the operated place.

There are many known cases, similar to the foregoing, and of which it is not known - even more, because no one seeks to advertise such phenomena. And these cases occur in different areas of production, medicine and jurisprudence, where the human operator works.

The objective of the invention is to help the operator "do not forget to perform any point of the technological process", in addition, the autocontroller will, to some extent, discipline the executor of the technological process, reducing the factor of distraction, negligence.

Achieving the task with the help of an operational handheld personal computer computer controller is as follows: the technological process is recorded on the desktop computer in detail on the basis of the points. Each item in the process is numbered sequentially. From the desktop personal computer, the technological process is downloaded to the operating pocket personal computer autocontroller via a synchronization cable to the flash memory of the operating pocket personal computer autocontroller. The sync cable also charges the batteries. The case of an operating pocket personal computer autocontroller made of light aluminum alloys or plastic has on the front side (Fig. 1):

1 - a screen with three positions of the recorded points of the technological process, as well as hardware control buttons,

2 - the inclusion of an operational pocket personal computer autocontroller,

3 - call the list of technological processes recorded on an operational pocket personal computer autocontroller,

4 - scroll button for the list of technological processes,

5 - reverse scroll of technological processes,

6 - fixing the necessary process and putting it into operation,

7 - scrolling of the selected process by points,

8 - reverse scroll of the selected process,

9 - fixing the completed paragraph of the technological process,

10 - turn off the signal, which notifies you of a missed fixation of the next point in the process.

In addition, the computer controller is equipped with an alarm associated with the position n2 on the screen.

Using an operating pocket personal computer autocontroller is as follows. By pressing button 2, the entire system of an operational pocket-sized personal computer autocontroller and a screen backlight are turned on. Pressing button 3 calls up the list of technological processes recorded on an operational pocket personal computer computer controller, while the name of the first technological process is displayed on the screen. Button 4 scrolls the list of technological processes, and button 5 scrolls the list of technological processes. Button 6 fixes the name of the required technological process on the screen and puts it into operation. By pressing the button 7, the name of the technological process disappears from the screen and the first item of the named technological process is highlighted in the first position. Following the first press of button 7, the second press scrolls the first item to the middle second position of the screen. When the button 7 is pressed a third time, the first item is scrolled to the third position, the second item to the second position, the third item to the first position, and so on, the items leaving the screen are recorded in memory. Button 8 reverses the scrolling of process records, and each press of the button returns all process records to one position. Button 9 fixes the execution of a technological process item, the recording of which is located at the middle second position on the screen. At the same time, the recording itself changes its color to bright, different from the color of the previous paragraphs, which are recorded in black and white. The color of the recorded item is saved during subsequent scrolling of the items forward or backward. If the entry of the item is not fixed in the middle position n2, and by pressing the button 7 the items are scrolled, then this moment will be sounded by a signal. If the voiced point of the technological process is not completed, and the technological process must be continued, then pressing the button 10 will turn off the signal and when scrolling through the items, the uncommitted item will remain in black and white. At the same time, the position for the remaining items when skipping fixation remains valid: the sound signal will sound and the color of the uncommitted item will remain black and white. If, while fixing the last point of the technological process, any point remains uncommitted, then the moment will be sounded by a signal again. Thus, visually on the screen will be traced the progress of the process in three positions. Summing up the work with an operating pocket personal computer autocontroller, we see that in the normal course of the process execution, button 7 works - scroll of the process and button 9 fixes the completed items of the process and does not require special attention to fix the process.

The greatest effect of using an operational pocket personal computer autocontroller will take place with a detailed recording of the technological process by points, starting, say, with points that ensure safety, fire safety, a list of the necessary tools, devices, materials, their location, the necessary on / off, etc. . In most industries, technological processes are recorded in textbooks on the operation of objects, which are a generalized methodology and are not tied to a specific object with its individual feature. Progress is changing the technology of operation and repair, even in the serial construction of facilities, so each facility should have its own instructions for the technological process. The issue of organizing the recording of instructions on technological processes on desktop computers should be addressed: in the Navy - captains and senior mechanics, in other industries - directors and chief engineers, for which the most skilled workers, obviously, to a large extent from the number of performers, should be used. This event should be on a commercial basis: the owner (private person or state) by affiliation, should pay for the compilation of instructions on technological processes to their compilers, only in this way will success be achieved. But even the presence of a written instruction on the technological process is inconvenient for using it directly at the workplace. Therefore, from experience, the performer, having studied the instructions, hopes for his memory. Even when the instruction on the technological process is written on a pocket notebook computer, there is no control over the execution of the technological process, as when using the operating pocket personal computer autocontroller, it is easy to make mistakes, since there is no fixation of the execution of the next technological process item and there is no alarm about skipping the execution of the next paragraph of the technological process.

To summarize: during a process using an automatic process controller, the operator reads a record of the process points, this affects the consciousness of the operator of the process and, if a point in the process is forgotten, the forgotten point is restored to the mind of the operator and will be executed and fixed in the car controller. Thus, the negative phenomena from the clip of the "human factor" - forgetfulness, distraction, negligence, will be adjusted in the mind of the operator of the technological process in a positive way. As a result of the impact on the operator’s consciousness when reading the recording of the technological process in the auto controller, the technical result is achieved: the technological process is performed in accordance with the recording of the technological process without gaps, deviations, distortions.
