Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a simple weather meter that can display weather information around the installation location, and in particular, it can be installed on the outdoor side of a building such as a window, and can be installed on the outside of a building such as a window to monitor the temperature around the area. , humidity, sunlight,
This invention relates to a simple weather meter that allows atmospheric pressure, etc. to be easily read even from indoors.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, meteorological observation has been carried out using large-scale measurements and attached equipment, installed in a wide installation location determined in consideration of the environment and the like.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In such weather observation, instruments are required to obtain various types of weather information, and in order to take into account the installation location and environment, it is necessary to install them at a specific location. become. Weather information from newspapers, TV, radio, etc. is created based on the weather data obtained at such locations, and is provided as information over a relatively wide area, so it is possible to check the actual weather at the observation point and the area you want to know. The current situation is that conditions often differ. Furthermore, even in the vicinity of the actual observation points mentioned above, weather conditions often vary depending on the topography or the condition of surrounding buildings, so it is important for those involved to get the weather information they need accurately and easily. The problem was that it was not possible to obtain

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the conventional technology, and it is possible to easily obtain weather information in the area where it is needed, and also to be able to know it while staying inside a building. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a simple weather meter with

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the simple weather meter of the present invention includes a sensor that detects weather information such as outside temperature, humidity, sunlight, and atmospheric pressure, and each information signal from the sensor. an arithmetic circuit that receives the information and corrects the information signal to match the weather information around the installation location of the sensor, and a transmissive liquid crystal panel that displays each of the weather information based on the signal from the arithmetic circuit, all of which are incorporated. a casing that can be installed on the outside of the building, and a transmissive liquid crystal panel on the top of the casing so that the display can be read from both indoors and outdoors. It is characterized by being able to obtain weather information near the installation location.

[Function] The above-mentioned simple weather meter has a sensor in its casing that detects weather information such as outside temperature, humidity, sunlight, and atmospheric pressure. It is formed by incorporating an arithmetic circuit that corrects the information to match the information, and a transmissive liquid crystal panel that displays weather information based on the signal from the arithmetic circuit. This simple weather meter is installed on the outdoor side of the building, where weather information displayed on a transmissive liquid crystal panel can be read directly through the window glass.

This casing can be installed on the outdoor side of a building, and a transmissive liquid crystal panel is attached to the top of the casing so that its display can be read from both indoors and outdoors, so weather information at the installation location can be displayed. It can be displayed to inform you whether indoors or outdoors.

Therefore, the necessary weather information at the installation location can be obtained easily by checking the weather without using large-scale equipment.

[Example] Examples will be described with reference to the drawings.

The simple weather meter according to the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
As shown in the figure, a liquid crystal display (LCD) 2 is arranged as a transmissive liquid crystal panel on top of a casing 1 made of synthetic resin or the like. As is clear from the cross-sectional views of FIGS. 2 and 3, in this transmissive liquid crystal panel, the liquid crystal display 2 is of a transmissive type, and is arranged so that the display can be viewed from both sides of the casing 1. has been done. In the lower part of the casing 1, a solar cell 3 is arranged as a power source with its light-receiving surface exposed, and a circuit board 4 is arranged in alignment with the solar cell 3. A plurality of sensors 5 are arranged below and close to the circuit board 3, and are capable of detecting temperature, humidity, sunlight, atmospheric pressure, and the like. The circuit board 3 is equipped with an arithmetic circuit that receives signals based on the detected weather information from each sensor 5 and corrects them to obtain weather information for the area around the installation location, that is, the area very close to the installation location. We are prepared. Furthermore, it goes without saying that a circuit for sending signals to the liquid crystal display 2 is provided. The weather information displayed at this time can be displayed using numbers, pictures, etc., as is conventionally displayed on a liquid crystal display. The casing 1 in which the liquid crystal display 2, the solar cell 3, the circuit board 4, the sensor 5, etc. are integrated can be made compact in overall shape, and as shown in FIG. Window glass 6 facing outward to the exterior of the building
A support is fixed to the window frame or wall on the outside of the building so that it can be seen from inside the building, and the weather meter is attached to this support so as to face the window glass.

When the simple weather meter configured as described above is attached to the outside of the window glass 6, it starts operating using the solar cell 3 as a power source. Signals such as temperature, humidity, sunlight, and atmospheric pressure detected by the sensor 5 are calculated by an arithmetic circuit on the circuit board 4 so as to be corrected as weather information around the installation location, and the resulting signals are displayed. This signal is converted into a signal and sent to the liquid crystal display 2 to display temperature, humidity, sunlight, atmospheric pressure, etc. Since the liquid crystal display 2 is of a transmissive type, weather information displayed through the window glass 6 can be viewed while staying inside the building. Moreover, since the weather information detected by the sensor 5 has been corrected, it can be obtained not as information near the window glass 6 but as weather information in the vicinity.

Although the casing 1 having the above structure is integrally assembled using synthetic resin, it may be not only embedded or fitted, but may also be attached and incorporated into a box using screws or the like as in the conventional case.

Further, since the simple weather meter having the above configuration is small, it may be attached to the outside of the building by bonding the entirety to the window glass 6 with an adhesive or the like.
However, as long as it is installed in a visible state, it goes without saying that it may be installed away from the window glass using a support.

[Effect of the invention] Since the present invention is configured as described above,
It has the following effects.

The simple weather meter with the above configuration uses a transmissive liquid crystal panel to integrate the sensor, power supply, and
Since necessary components such as arithmetic circuits are incorporated, there is no need to draw the weather information display section into the building, and there is no need for wiring to draw it in, eliminating unnecessary expenses and making the entire system smaller. It can be easily installed on the outside of a building, and even in that case, the weather information displayed on the LCD panel can be viewed not only inside the building, but also on the outside. It has the excellent effect of being able to Furthermore, unlike weather information obtained from newspapers, television, radio, etc., it has the excellent effect of easily and accurately obtaining weather information around the location where the weather meter is installed.
