Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to immediately execute collation and the switching of an input or drawing if necessary and to reduce an occupied area as a personal device by integrating a CAD device into a drawing board. CONSTITUTION:A plate-like housing 3 including a CAD device is arranged on the upper part of a drawing stand 1 through a height adjusting tool 9 so as to adjust an inclination angle. The drawing board 4 is connected to the upper edge of the housing 3 through a hinge so as to be rotated. The surface of the housing 3 consists of a liquid crystal display 6 constituting an auxiliary screen, an input operation keyboard 7 arranged on the lower part of the display 6 and a menu board 8 arranged on the side of the display 6 so as to be operated by a mouse or the like. The drawing board 4 is used also as a cover covering the housing 3 so as to open/close it and a horizontal drafter 11 is arranged so as to be moved in parallel in the vertical direction. A large screen liquid crystal display 12 for displaying an inputted picture is unitedly engaged with the rear face of the drawing board 4.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a drawing board integrated CAD device in which a CAD device and a drawing board are integrated.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a CAD device for graphically displaying a graphic in individual or overall design of a system is a menu board provided with a peripheral input device such as a display, a keyboard, a mouse, and an individual device such as a plotter and a disk driver. It is divided into two parts, each device is installed in a dedicated rack or its surroundings in an arrangement that facilitates input operations, and each device is made to function by connecting them to each other. It will be taken.

On the other hand, a drafting board used for hand-drawn drafting work is supported on a drafting table so that the angle can be adjusted, and a drafting device such as a drafter is arranged on the plate surface. Since a chair, a drawing tool, and a cabinet for storing paper are placed around the facility, the equipment for this purpose is quite large and takes up a lot of space.

[0004]

The drawing by the CAD device and the handwriting drawing work are works that are very close to each other.
It is frequently the case that the CAD graphic figure is further modified or the CAD graphic figure is drawn based on the handwritten figure data.

However, in this case, the drafting table and CA
The worker had to go back and forth between D, and the drawings had to be removed from the drawing board and reprinted each time in order to collate the drawn drawings, resulting in low work efficiency.

Further, when a CAD device is provided for each drawing worker only, the worker is surrounded by each device, and the floor space occupied by each worker becomes extremely large. .

The present invention solves the above problems, and an object thereof is to integrate a CAD device and a drawing board so that collation, input, and switching of drawing can be performed immediately when necessary. In addition, the present invention provides a CAD device integrated with a drawing board that reduces the occupied area in the case of personalization.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a keyboard and a menu board constituting a CAD device integrally on the surface of a flat plate-shaped housing and pivots to the upper edge of the housing. A drawing board hinged as much as possible covers the housing surface so that it can be opened and closed.
A display is integrally embedded on the back surface of the drawing board. Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the housing is arranged on a drawing table or a desk so that the tilt angle can be adjusted.

[0009]

According to the above construction, when a hand-drawn drawing is made, the drafting board is used as it is, and when CAD is used, the drafting board is rotated to expose the display on the back surface of the drawing. It becomes a device, and you can perform input operations and collation in the state of the device.

[0010]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. 1A and 1B, the drawing table 1
A horizontal board 2 is arranged on the upper part of the board, and a flat plate-shaped housing 3 having a built-in CAD device rotatably installed on the front side is installed on the upper surface of the horizontal board 2 so that the inclination angle can be adjusted. A drawing board 4 is arranged on the upper edge side of the housing 3 so as to be openable and closable via a hinge 4a.

At the front edge of the horizontal board 2, the housing 3 is provided.
Is provided with a box 5 that serves as both a fall-off prevention device and a drawing tool holder. The box 5 coincides with the lower edge of the drawing board 4 with the surface of the housing 3 covered by the drawing board 4.

On the surface of the housing 3, a liquid crystal display 6 constituting an auxiliary screen, a keyboard 7 for input operation arranged below the liquid crystal display 6, and an auxiliary input device such as a mouse arranged on the side of the display 6 are operated. It is composed of a menu board 8 and is formed in a flat plate shape as a whole so as to avoid interference in the state of being covered with the drawing board 4. A height adjuster 9 such as a gas spring is interposed between the lower surface of the back of the housing 3 and the horizontal board 2, and the tilt angle can be adjusted by levering the height adjuster 9.

The drafting plate 4 also serves as a cover for opening and closing the housing 3, and a drafting paper 10 is attached to the surface of the drafting plate 4 with drafting tape or the like, and a horizontal drafter 11 is vertically provided. It is arranged so that it can move in parallel.

A large screen liquid crystal display 12 is integrally fitted to the back surface of the drawing board 4. The liquid crystal display 12 is connected to the housing 3 and displays image data created by operating the keyboard 7 and the mouse. Further, the auxiliary display 6 displays a partially enlarged image or an entire image in parallel with the image data according to an operation.

In the case where the drawing board 4 is actually a heavy object made of a material in which the surface of a thick board is covered with a vinyl chloride sheet, although not shown, an auxiliary lifting mechanism for opening and closing, a lifting mechanism for lifting and lowering are provided. There is a damper mechanism in, a lock and release mechanism for holding in an open state or a closed state, an angle adjusting mechanism, a holding mechanism for a horizontal drafter at the time of release, and these use mechanical elements generally used in this type of device. be able to.

Further, the above apparatus does not necessarily have to be provided on the drafting table 1, and the horizontal board 2 can be directly installed on the desk for use, and it can be portable like a laptop type personal computer. Downsizing is possible, in which case the aforementioned opening and closing auxiliary mechanism is not always necessary.

Further, as a peripheral device of CAD, a device not directly related to an input operation or a collation such as an output device such as a plotter or a disk driver is provided with another drawing tool or device on the side of the drafting table 1 or a desk. It may be arranged with the above and connected to the housing 3 through a connection line.

In the above construction, when the CAD device is used, the drawing plate 4 is rotated as shown in (a) and the surface of the housing 3 is opened, the CAD device is exposed, and the keys, mouse, etc. are left as they are. It is possible to perform input operation by using, collate with the drawn drawing, and examine.

To return to the drawing work, simply rotate the drawing plate 4 to cover the housing 3 as shown in FIG.
The surface of this can be used as a drawing board as it is, and the drawing work can be continued.

[0020]

As described above in detail with reference to the embodiments, the drawing board integrated CAD device according to the present invention has the following advantages. (1) The operator does not need to go back and forth between the drafting table and CAD, and the drawn drawings can be collated easily.
High work efficiency. (2) The floor space occupied by each worker can be reduced when one CAD device is provided for each drafting worker, and the CAD device can be carried around. Suitable for personalization.
