[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] This application provides an instrument display and operation device. This device is applied to an instrument and can communicate with the instrument's sensing unit to display instrument data or set instrument parameters. The instrument can be an ultrasonic flow meter, pressure gauge, radar level gauge, or mass flow meter.

[0021] When an instrument display and control device is installed at the measurement site, its installation position varies depending on the object being measured. If installed in a conventional orientation, the display and buttons on the instrument display and control device are convenient for the user to view and operate. However, if the installation orientation is reversed, the position of the display and buttons relative to the user changes, making it inconvenient for the user to view and operate.

[0022] To solve the above problem, see Figure 1 This application provides an instrument display operation device, which includes a display 101 and operation buttons. The display is located in the display area of ​​the instrument display operation device, and the buttons are located in the button operation area of ​​the instrument display operation device. The display and buttons face the same side of the instrument display operation device. The operation buttons include a first type of button and a second type of button, and the first type of button and the second type of button are located in different positions. The display interface of the display is configured to be rotatable.

[0023] Optionally, the number of the first type of buttons can be multiple or one, and the number of the second type of buttons can also be multiple or one.

[0024] The control module is configured to, when the display interface is rotated to a first orientation, configure a first type of button to perform a first type of operation on the display interface and a second type of button to perform a second type of operation on the display interface; the control module is also configured to, when the display interface is rotated to a second orientation, configure a first type of button to perform a second type of operation on the display interface and a second type of button to perform a first type of operation on the display interface.

[0025] In this embodiment, the display interface can be rotated to facilitate viewing when the installation location is inconvenient for the user. However, if the operation of the control buttons on the display interface does not change after the display interface is rotated, it will still be inconvenient for the user. In this embodiment, after the display interface is rotated, the operation types of the first type of buttons and the second type of buttons are also switched, so that the button operation matches the rotated display interface, making it convenient for the user to both view and operate the display interface.

[0026] Optional, see Figure 1 The first type of buttons includes a first horizontal button 201 and a second horizontal button 202 along the lateral direction of the instrument display operating device; the second type of buttons includes a first vertical button 203 and a second vertical button 204 along the longitudinal direction of the instrument display operating device.

[0027] The horizontal and vertical directions can be referenced. Figure 1 As shown.

[0028] Optionally, the control module is configured to, when the display interface is rotated to a horizontal orientation, configure a first type of button to perform a first type of operation on the display interface and a second type of button to perform a second type of operation on the display interface; the control module is also configured to, when the display interface is rotated to a vertical orientation, configure a first type of button to perform a second type of operation on the display interface and a second type of button to perform a first type of operation on the display interface.

[0029] Optionally, the first type of operation includes: previous and next steps for the displayed interface; and / or, the second type of operation includes: up and down movement of the selected target for the displayed interface.

[0030] Optionally, the first type of operation includes: left and right movement of the selected target on the display interface; and / or, the second type of button operation includes: up and down movement of the selected target on the display interface.

[0031] Optionally, the first type of operation includes: left and right movement of the selected target on the display interface; and / or, the second type of operation includes: previous and next steps on the display interface.

[0032] The following explanation uses the first type of operation, which includes the previous and next steps on the display interface, and / or the second type of operation, which includes the up and down movement of the selected target on the display interface, as examples.

[0033] In the embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of an instrument display operation device with the display interface in a horizontal orientation. In this case, the first type of buttons are used to perform previous and next operations on the display interface. For example, when the user presses the first horizontal button 201, the display interface jumps to the previous screen; when the user presses the second horizontal button 202, the display interface jumps to the next screen. When the user presses the first vertical button 203, the selected target on the display interface is moved upwards; when the user presses the second vertical button 204, the selected target on the display interface is moved downwards.

[0034] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an instrument display operation device with the display interface in another horizontal direction. The first type of buttons are used to perform previous and next operations on the display interface. For example, when the user presses the first horizontal button 201, the display interface jumps to the next screen; when the user presses the second horizontal button 202, the display interface jumps to the previous screen. When the user presses the first vertical button 203, the selected target on the display interface is moved downwards; when the user presses the second vertical button 204, the selected target on the display interface is moved upwards.

[0035] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an instrument display operation device with the display interface in a vertical direction. In this case, the first type of buttons are used to move the selected target up and down on the display interface, and the second type of buttons are used for the previous and next steps on the display interface. For example, when the user presses the first horizontal button 201, the selected target on the display interface is moved up; when the user presses the second horizontal button 202, the selected target on the display interface is moved down; when the user presses the first vertical button 203, the display interface jumps to the next step interface; when the user presses the second vertical button 204, the display interface jumps to the previous step interface.

[0036] See Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of an instrument display operation device with the display interface in another vertical direction. In this case, the first type of buttons are used to move the selected target up and down on the display interface, and the second type of buttons are used for the previous and next steps on the display interface. For example, when the user presses the first horizontal button 201, the selected target on the display interface is moved down; when the user presses the second horizontal button 202, the selected target on the display interface is moved up; when the user presses the first vertical button 203, the display interface jumps to the previous screen; when the user presses the second vertical button 204, the display interface jumps to the next screen.

[0037] Among them, see Figures 1 to 4The first horizontal button 201, the second horizontal button 202, the first vertical button 203, and the second vertical button 204 all have directional pointing features. In particular, the buttons configured for up and down movement are configured to move up and down towards the selected target in a direction that matches the directional pointing of the button.

[0038] The first and second types of operations are diverse and not limited to the examples mentioned above. The key point is that the operations of the first and second types of buttons are reversed as the display interface rotates, so as to facilitate the user's viewing of the display interface and operation.

[0039] Optionally, the control module is also used to receive user input commands to rotate the display interface.

[0040] In this embodiment, the display interface can show the corresponding rotation direction command. The user selects the direction by pressing a button, and the control module rotates the display interface in the corresponding direction based on the user's selection.

[0041] Optionally, the instrument display operation device also includes a sensor for detecting the installation direction of the instrument display operation device; and a control module for rotating the display interface to a display interface orientation associated with the installation direction.

[0042] Among them, the sensor can be a gravity sensor, a gyroscope, or other sensor that can detect the installation direction.

[0043] In this embodiment, the control module can be pre-configured with the association between the sensor detection signal and the display interface direction, and then, based on the sensor detection signal, control the display interface to rotate to the display interface direction associated with the sensor detection signal.

[0044] This application also provides an instrument, which includes the instrument display and operation device described above.

[0045] The instrument is one of the following: ultrasonic flow meter, pressure gauge, radar level gauge, or mass flow meter.
