Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention changes the definition of each key in the data key group by arbitrarily selecting each subtitle that displays the names of various items of data to be input, and inputs various data. The present invention relates to a multi-item input device that can input multiple items.

This multi-item input device allows the operator to efficiently input various types of data into the processing device without having to worry about coding or other complicated operations. For example, a roll vapor type subtitle 2 displaying the definition of each switch was placed below a switch board 1 on which a large number of touch switches for data input were arranged in a matrix.

The ends of this subtitle 2 are wound up by two rollers 3 and 4. Therefore, when changing the definition of each switch, that is, when changing the page, the rollers 3 and 4 are rotated by a motor or the like, and a different He was pulling out a page. Therefore, to perform random page changes, it not only takes a long time but also requires frequent switching of the rotation of the motor, which has the disadvantage of complicating motor control. Therefore, in the patent application No. 52-89522 "Multi-item input device" that the present applicant had previously filed, the present applicant has proposed a system as shown in Figs. 2, 3, and 4 a and b, which allows random page changes in a short time. One end of a plurality of subtitles 7, 7, . As shown in a, select the subtitle 7 of an arbitrary item according to the rotation angle of the drum 5,
As shown in Figure b', a multi-item input device has been proposed which can randomly select pages by reversing the drum 5 and inserting subtitles into the bottom 12 of the switchboard 1.

Furthermore, the applicant of the present application provided a guide belt surrounding the rotation of the rotating drum as shown in FIGS. We proposed a mechanism to reduce the frictional resistance against the peripheral surface.

To explain the configuration of FIGS. 5 and 6, the rotating shaft 21 is integrally attached to the rotating drum 20, and the side plate 4
4 and 45 so as to be rotatable.

As described above, a plurality of subtitles 29 on which many items are written are wound around the rotating drum 20.
One end of each of the rotary drums 9 is fixed to the rotating drum 20'. Further, the side plates 4 are provided on the periphery of the rotating drum 20.
A plurality of roller shafts 221, 231 supported by 4, 45
, 241, 251, 261 are provided, and rollers 22, 23, 24, 25, are provided at predetermined intervals on these roller shafts 221, 231, 241, 251, 261, respectively.
A plurality of subtitles 26 are provided so as to be in contact with the subtitles 29.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, the rollers 22, 23, 24,
At 25 and 26, an endless guide belt 28 is connected to the roller 22.
, 23, 24, 25, 26 and the rotating drum 2 are in contact with the subtitle 29 wound around the subtitle 29,
All subtitles except 0 are attached so as to cover the subtitles 29.

Further, the guide belt 28 is connected to the roller shafts 221 and 231 in order to easily feed out the subtitles 29 shown in FIG.
, 241, 251, and 261, the roller groups 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26 are respectively attached at predetermined intervals.

Therefore, in FIG. 6, the rotary drum 20 is rotated in the direction of the arrow and an arbitrary subtitle 29 is selected according to the rotation angle of the drum 20.
The wrapped subtitle 29 is in contact with a guide belt 28, which is also rotated in the same direction in conjunction with the rotation of the rotating drum 20. Therefore, the frictional resistance of the subtitle 29 against its circumferential surface is reduced by 4. On the other hand, any subtitle 29
When the subtitle 29 is selected, the drum 20 is reversed and the selected subtitle 29 is placed in a position corresponding to the switch board in the same manner as in FIG. 4 described above. By the way, the present invention relates to a multi-item input device equipped with a guide belt mechanism that reduces frictional resistance as shown in FIGS. This allows the selected subtitle to be smoothly moved to the corresponding position on the switch board.

The structure of the present invention will be explained according to FIGS. 7 and 8, and the same parts as in FIGS. 5 and 6 are designated by the same reference numerals.

The rotating shaft 21 is integrally attached to a rotating drum 20, and a plurality of subtitles 29 on which a large number of items are written are wound around the rotating drum 20, and one end of each of the subtitles 29 is shown in green on the drum. 20' is fixed.

22, 23, 24 and 25 are rollers arranged at predetermined intervals, and roller shafts 221, 231, 24, respectively.
1 and 251 so as to be rotatable.

An endless guide belt 28 is connected to the rollers 22, 23, 24, and 25, and is in contact with the subtitle 29 wound around the rotating drum 201 and the joint edges of the rollers 22 to 25.
It is attached so as to cover the subtitles 29 except for the outlet 30 of the subtitles 29. A switch board is placed on the side of the cup outlet 30 of the subtitle 29, and the subtitle 29 is placed below it.
Guide plates 31 are provided at intervals that allow the entire body to be inserted into the insertion position.

By the way, a roller shaft 251 that supports the loaf 25 located on the lower side of the loaves 22 and 25 facing the extraction port 301 of the subtitle 29 is held by a rod 35, and the lower end of the rod 35 is further attached to a fixed shaft. It is rotatably attached to 36. Therefore, when the rod 35 rotates about the fixed shaft 36, the roller 25 can also swing via the roller shaft 251. On the other hand, the rod 35 is always urged by a spring 37 in the direction of the arrow, which is the switch board 1 side.

Therefore, when rotating the rotating drum 20 in the direction of the arrow and selecting the subtitle 29 according to the rotation angle of the drum 20,
As is clear from FIG. 7, the guide belt 28 on the side that is in contact with the subtitles 29 wound around the rotating drum 20' is pulled by the rotation of the rotating drum 20 as the subtitles 29 are wound around the drum 20'. 35 moves in the direction of the rotating drum 20 against the spring 37, and the roller 2
5 is positioned exactly along the rotating drum 20, and the frictional resistance of the subtitle 29 against its circumferential surface is reduced in the same way as shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6.

On the other hand, when an arbitrary subtitle 29 is selected, the rotary drum 20 is rotated in a direction opposite to the rotation direction, and the selected subtitle 29 is moved below the switchboard.

(See Figure 8). In this case, the rotary drum 20 rotates in the opposite direction to the arrow, the diameter of the subtitle 29 wrapped around it becomes smaller, and the rod 35 is pulled by the spring 37, so the roller 25 moves to the guide plate 31 side. do.

Therefore, the roller 25 acts as a guide roller for moving the subtitles 29 downwards on the switchboard 1,
The subtitles 29 can be moved smoothly. Therefore, as described above, the lower roller 25 facing the outlet 30 of the subtitles 29 can be made movable and can be guided when moving the subtitles 29 downwards on the switch board, so that the subtitles can be moved around the guide plate. The subtitles 29 can be smoothly moved without being jammed or stuck.
