FIG. 10 is a block diagram in the case of driving with a plurality of CPUs. FIG. 11 is an operation sequence diagram when a battery is loaded.

  Monoculars are integrated into the center of the concert penlight.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a monocular telescope, 12 is a lens barrel, 13 is an objective lens, 14 is a groove cam for focusing, and 15 is an eyepiece.

  Reference numeral 2 denotes an electrical component, and reference numeral 21 denotes a donut-like substrate, which controls operations described later. Reference numeral 22 denotes an LED on which a total of 12 sets of 4 colors and 3 sets are mounted on the donut-shaped substrate 21. Further, a CPU and a tactile switch (not shown) are mounted. The light emission color and light emission timing of each LED 22 can be varied by a program written in the CPU. This is performed by a switch described later.

  Reference numeral 25 denotes a battery, and 23 and 24 denote electrical contacts, which supply power from the battery 25 to the donut-shaped substrate 21. Reference numeral 26 denotes a switch, and the LED emission color and lighting mode can be changed in accordance with the ON time of the switch 26 and the ON order.

  3 is an exterior part, 31 is a front cylinder made of transparent plastic. A front frame 32 is fixed to the tip of the telescope 1. Reference numeral 33 denotes a light diffusing sheet, the surface of which is coated with a reflective film. Since the light diffusing sheet 33 is a point light source, the entire LED does not shine. Therefore, it has a function of making the entire front cylinder 31 shine as diffused light. A battery cover 34 forms a space for storing three batteries 25. Reference numeral 35 denotes a grip portion that forms a grip together with the battery lid 34. Reference numeral 36 denotes an eyepiece cover, which is fixed by engaging with the base of the eyepiece 15 of the telescope 1 with a screw.

  Next, the operation of the penlight in this embodiment will be described. On the substrate 21, a CPU in which a control program is written, a plurality of LEDs 22, and a tactile switch are mounted. When the battery 25 is loaded in the main body, power is supplied to the substrate 21 through the electrical contacts 23 and 24, and the program written in the CPU is activated. After the initialization of the penlight function, all the LEDs are turned on for about 1 second in order to inform the user that the penlight function is normal. After the lighting, the mode immediately shifts to the low power mode, and the penlight function stands by in a state where almost no power is consumed.

The switch 26 is interlocked with a tactile switch mounted on the substrate 21. The CPU counts the time for which the switch is pressed sequentially regardless of the operation mode. When this time is ON for the set time or longer, the mode is shifted from the power saving mode to the operation mode. If it is shorter, it returns to the power saving mode again.
When the operation mode is entered, first, the light emission color and light emission timing information previously stored in the memory are read, and the lighting of the LED is started based on the information.

  In the operation mode, the operation is changed according to the time the switch is pressed. The light emission color of the LED 22 to be lit is changed in a short time of about 0.1 seconds, and the lighting mode is changed in a medium time of about 1 second. If it is ON for 2 seconds or more, the current operation information is stored in the memory, and then the operation mode is immediately terminated and the operation mode is shifted to the power saving mode. In the operation mode, the LED 22 lights up or blinks. Then, the entire front cylinder 31 shines. In this state, the user can enjoy by shaking while gripping the grip portion including the support portion 35 and the battery lid 34.

In addition, when this is used as a telescope, while holding the exterior part 3 and the grip part, the eyepiece part is aligned with the optical axis of the eye toward the object, and the eyepiece part 15 is rotated by the groove cam 14 for focus adjustment. However, it can be viewed by changing the optical axis length and expanding.

  In FIG. 2, the structure is basically the same as that in FIG. 1, but the monocular telescope 1 and the cylindrical penlight part composed of the electrical equipment part 2 and the exterior part 3 are separated and can be used in combination or separately. It is composed.

In this example, when carrying around, as a single unit, when using it, separate it according to time, so that you can shake the penlight while watching with a magnifying glass, or another person can use the magnifying glass and penlight. Can do. In addition, the magnifier has different magnifications, the one with a Galilei type or zoom function, etc., while the penlight is one that is linked to the light control by the lighting mode and different colors, concert radio and optical communication. Combinations are possible as long as the specifications can be combined with different specifications.
Since such a mounting form is adopted, there is an effect that viewing can be further enjoyed.

  In FIG. 3, the basic structure is basically the same as in FIG. 1, but 4 is a color sensor equipped with three photodiodes and amplifiers each having sensitivity to blue, green and red. The color sensor 4 is arranged at three locations on the outer periphery of the front cylinder 31 with directivity by a hood so as to sense only the surrounding emission color. For this reason, the color sensor 4 has a function of detecting surrounding colors, the CPU determining the surrounding emission color by majority, and driving the LED 22 to emit light closest to the emission color. . The mode can be set by the switch 26.

  For this reason, when the light emission mode is set, it is possible to match the penlight linked to the light control by radio or optical communication of the concert, and to emit light with matching light emission and color at the same timing as the surroundings.

4, 5 covers the telescope-integrated concert penlight of FIG. 1, 5 is a kaleidoscope adapter, 51 is a cylindrical portion, and the inner surface is a mirror that reflects light. Reference numeral 52 denotes a ring cap that fits in the front frame 32 and fixes the telescope-integrated concert penlight to the kaleidoscope adapter 5 and at the same time serves as a cover that prevents the light from the LED from leaking. Reference numeral 53 denotes a mirror, the inner surface of which is a reflection surface, and three of them face each other. 54 is a bottom cover, and this inner surface is also a mirror. Reference numeral 55 denotes a plurality of fine sheets that easily reflect various lights. Reference numeral 56 denotes a transparent window damage, in which a plurality of sheets 55 are sealed in a gap between the bottom cover 54 and the window damage 56.

  Next, the operation will be described. When the telescope-integrated concert penlight switch 26 is turned on and set in the kaleidoscope adapter 5 and viewed from the objective lens 13 side, the light of the LED 22 is reflected on the inner side of the cylindrical portion 51 and the bottom cover 54 or mirror Reflected at 53, the sheet is seen as a kaleidoscope. At this time, the timing, color, etc., of the LED 22 changes, so that it looks very beautiful.

If a hole that allows access to the switch 26 is formed in the tube portion 51, the switch 26 can be turned on and off even when the kaleidoscope adapter 5 is set.
Even during the waiting time of the concert, you can spend a pleasant time by combining with such a kaleidoscope adapter. The kaleidoscope itself may be incorporated in the outer cylinder in advance.

  In recent years, some penlights have been made conspicuous by making the luminous body a high-brightness LED. However, a high-intensity LED requires a large amount of current and generates a large amount of heat. Providing a member for heat dissipation in the length direction will affect the design of the penlight, such as a longer grip. Therefore, a plate-shaped heat radiation member may be provided around the outer periphery of the lens barrel of the telescope. Then, heat can be dissipated without affecting the design, and it can stand out as a high-brightness penlight.

  Specifically, in FIG. 5, reference numeral 5 denotes a heat radiating plate a made of aluminum and formed in a substantially cylindrical shape along the lens barrel portion 12 of the telescope 1. In order to dissipate heat from the high-intensity LED 22 mounted on the doughnut-shaped substrate 21, the heat dissipating plate a5 and the donut-shaped substrate 21 are preliminarily coated with heat-dissipating grease and screwed together. Therefore, it assembles like FIG. The heat radiation plate a5 is also subjected to surface treatment for increasing the reflectance, for example, electrolytic polishing or chemical etching treatment, so that light from the LED 22 is diffusely reflected on the entire front tube 31.

  In FIG. 6, 6 is the same as that of FIG. 5, but is a heat sink b in which a cylindrical surface is processed into a corrugated shape in order to increase the surface area. The assembly and functions are the same as in FIG. The heat radiating plate a5 and the heat radiating plate b6 may have the function of heat radiating and reflecting plate on the surface of the lens barrel 12.

    In FIG. 7, reference numerals 36b and 36c denote eyepiece part covers in which an eyepiece cap and an eyepiece part cover part are integrated. Screw in either one. When the eyepiece cover 36b is mounted as shown in FIG. 8, the end of the eyepiece cover 36b is rounded. Therefore, even if the eyepiece cover 36b is held in the hand as a penlight during a concert, it can be easily operated without being caught. On the other hand, when the eyepiece cover 36c is mounted as shown in FIG. 9, it has a seating surface and can stand on its own, so that it can be used as a table stand.

    Further, when the LED of the light emitting source is mounted with various kinds of LEDs, variations in luminance and light emission color increase, and the color becomes more colorful. In addition, if a high-brightness LED is used, the penlight will be brighter and more beautiful, and will stand out clearly even from a distance. However, the number of CPU terminals that control and drive the LEDs increases accordingly. An IC package such as a CPU has a discrete number of terminals such as 8 pins, 10 pins, 16 pins, etc., so that it becomes a large package at a stroke or an unexpected increase in cost. Therefore, LED control may be shared by a plurality of CPUs. However, when each CPU independently drives the LED, there may be a difference in emission color, emission mode, and timing.

    FIG. 10 is an electrical block diagram when two CPUs are used. CPU # 1 and CPU # 2 each have a priority designation terminal. This terminal is predetermined as a master when the input is ‘0’ and a slave when the input is ‘1’. Here, the CPU # 1 becomes the master and can control the operation of the slave CPU # 2. Each CPU shares information with two communication signals. The control signal SCK is a clock and SDT is data, and data is transmitted and received in synchronization with the clock. With this communication means, the master CPU can instruct the slave CPU to instruct the color and timing of light emission and acquire information such as an abnormality of the slave CPU.

  In this example, the number of CPUs is two, but may be three or more. Moreover, since the priority designation terminal has the same meaning as a so-called address, it is only necessary to decide which address has the highest priority. Although the communication signal here is two-wire communication, it may be one-wire communication or three or more wires. In this way, even in the same control program, since the priority order (address) is designated, different operations can be performed.

  FIG. 11 shows an operation sequence when the battery is replaced. When the battery 25 is loaded in the main body, power supply to the substrate 21 is started, and a program written in advance in the CPU is activated. Initialization processing such as initialization of CPU internal logic, initialization of internal memory, and extinguishing of all LEDs are performed. When the initialization process is completed without any problem, the LEDs are sequentially lit for about 1 second for each color, and the LED inspection process is performed. Specifically, the LEDs are lit for about 1 second in the order of red LED → green LED → blue LED → white LED. When the white LED has been turned on, the mode immediately shifts to the low power mode and waits until the switch 25 is pressed in a state where almost no power is consumed.

  When the battery is loaded, the penlights shine in the order of red → green → blue → white, so that the user can know that the battery has been correctly loaded and that all the LEDs can be lit normally. The order of the colors shown here is not limited, and the lights may be lit in any order. Moreover, you may light all the LEDs simultaneously. Moreover, the lighting time of LED is not limited to 1 second. As described above, in the case of a detachable power source, self-diagnosis is performed after loading, but in the case of a rechargeable power source or the like, it cannot be removed. Therefore, the self-diagnosis function can be selected with a switch, or the timing when the charger is removed may be used.

In the embodiment, the telescope disposed at the center is a Galilei type, but may be a prism type or a zoom type that can arbitrarily change the magnification.
The substrate has a donut shape, but it is a flexible sheet, and it may be formed into a cylindrical shape, and the battery may be made into a sheet-like film battery, or the outer diameter may be reduced. .

  Since the penlight is often used while being shaken, it may have a built-in generator in which the magnet slides by shaking and the coil generates induction power. A member for condensing and diffusing light may be provided on the front surface of the light emitter, and by arranging a plurality of LEDs in a donut shape, light can be emitted while rotating around the periphery of the telescope.

  Recently, many people carry smartphone rechargeable batteries, so even if an adapter connected to such a rechargeable battery is attached, it can be made to shine longer, which makes it even more enjoyable. The color sensor 4 in the third embodiment may be an image sensor such as a CCD or a CMOS.

  Thus, the telescope-integrated concert penlight of the present invention can also be used as a penlight, and has an advantage that the functions can be used properly depending on the time, such as enlarging when viewing on the stage.
