Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a train operation time display device that is provided in a train, for example, and can obtain accurate information at a glance.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

Trains, especially long-distance trains, may have their actual estimated time of arrival at the station delayed from the standard arrival time shown in the timetable, due to weather, accidents, or other causes.

In such a case, the passengers are notified of the estimated arrival time by in-vehicle broadcasting, or the passengers directly ask the conductor, but the broadcast does not always inform the estimated arrival time of all the stop stations, In addition, passengers may not hear the sound or may hear it wrongly, and the conductor cannot always turn around. As a result, passengers often do not know the estimated time of arrival at their station of disembarkation, and there is a great deal of anxiety for passengers, especially on long-distance trains that are speeded up like the Shinkansen.

[Object of the Invention]

The object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned inconvenience, and in a running train, the train operation information such as the current travel position and the estimated arrival time of all stop stations can be accurately known at any time at a glance. Is to provide a train operation time display device that allows passengers to know a desired stop station at the discretion of the passenger, and information is displayed in real time.

[Main points of the invention]

However, according to the present invention, a display panel having a station name display of a planned stop station, a standard arrival time display at the station, an estimated arrival time display, a delay time display, and a current traveling position display,
The operation unit of the display panel, the operation unit is provided with a plurality of station name selection input means for writing the station name, the station name selection input means, train operation information input means and the standard arrival time of the scheduled stop station This is achieved by connecting a control device to the display board, which is connected to a storage means to be stored.

Example of Invention

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of a train operation time display device of the present invention, in which 1a shows a horizontally long display panel of the display device,
On the surface of the display panel 1a, the name of the station where the train is scheduled to stop 2, for example, in the case of the Tokaido Shinkansen, "Tokyo", "Nagoya", "Kyoto", etc. are listed in the horizontal direction at appropriate intervals. The present traveling position display section 3 is provided in contact with the vehicle. In the illustrated example, the current traveling position display unit 3 is configured to sequentially light up and shine inside the horizontally long rectangular frame up to the point where the train has traveled, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration and may be a small circle or a dotted line. Both digital and analog may be used as long as the traveling distance can be quantitatively understood, for example, by lighting or blinking only a small circle or a dotted line at the current traveling point.

A station name display section 4 scheduled to be stopped is provided further below the current traveling position display section 3, and a display section 5 of the estimated arrival time at the station, a display section 6 of the delay time, and a display of the standard arrival time originally planned are arranged side by side. The parts 7 are sequentially arranged and provided on the display board 1a.

In the figure, reference numeral 8 denotes an operation unit connected as a separate body from the display panel 1a. This has a plurality of key switches 9 as station name selection input means arranged on the board 8a. On the side, it is the name of the 10 stations scheduled to stop, such as Tokyo and Nagoya.

As described above, the display device 1 of the present invention configured by the display panel 1a and the operation section 8 is provided with the display panel 1a at an easily visible position such as a wall surface near the vehicle connecting section, and within a range easily reachable below the display panel 1a. Attach the operation unit 8.

FIG. 2 shows a block circuit diagram of the present invention, which controls a station selection signal a of the key switch 9 and a train operation information signal b from a control center 11 as an input means of train operation.
The output signal c-1 and the output signal c-2 are passed between the control device 12 and the storage device 13, and the display signal d from the control device 12 is introduced to the display panel 1a.

The storage device 13 stores the numerical values of the aiming arrival times of all the planned stop stations, and the signal b from the train control center 11 contains the operation information of the train.

In addition to the case where the control device 12 and the storage device 13 are housed in the same case as the display panel 1a, when there are many display devices 1 of the present invention, these are provided only in the main device, and the others are shared. You may.

Next, the operation and usage will be explained. For example, when the Tokaido Shinkansen departs from Tokyo Station toward Hakata Station, the actual traveling point and the numerical value of the estimated arrival time at each station are controlled by the signal b from the train control center 11 in Tokyo. The expected arrival time signal of each station which is successively input to the device 12 is sent from the control device 12 to the storage device 13 by the signal c-2, and is temporarily stored therein.

Then, the signal of the actual traveling point and the signal of the estimated arrival time and the standard arrival time of the delay time regarding the next stop station stored in the storage device 13 are sent to the display panel 1a by the signal d and displayed.

While the Shinkansen is running between Tokyo and Nagoya, it is displayed on the display panel 1a as shown in FIG. Now, if the passenger wants to know the estimated arrival time at Kyoto Station, the passenger can press the station name 10 of "Kyoto" displayed on the key switch 9 of the operation unit 8 to select the station selection signal from the key switch 9. a is a control device
12 and then the output signal c-1 from here is the storage device
Since it enters 13, the standard arrival time value "10:54" at Kyoto Station, which is stored in advance here, and the value sent from the control center 11 are stored. The estimated arrival time value “11:18” and the delay time value “0:24” calculated from both values are transmitted to the display panel 1a via the control device 12, and “Kyoto” is displayed on each station display unit 4. Estimated arrival time display 5
"11:18", the delay time display unit 6 displays "0:24", and the standard arrival time display unit 7 displays "10:54" by a digital method or the like. When the key switch 9 is released, the train information is displayed again at the next station.

In this way, by appropriately pressing the key switch 9 of the operation unit 8, the estimated arrival time, standard arrival time and delay time of the desired station are displayed on the display panel 1a, and the train schedule can be known.

Instead of obtaining the current traveling position data from the control center 11, the current traveling position data may be calculated from the number of rotations of the wheels of the train and displayed on the current traveling position display unit 3.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, the train operation time display device of the present invention,
With simple operation, you can immediately know the train operation information such as the estimated arrival time and delay time of the desired stop station and the current running position, so passengers can easily know the exact train schedule in the train on board. You can get a sense of security.

Further, since the information is input momentarily by the input means and displayed on the display panel, it can be recognized accurately at a glance.
