顯示板60密接地配置於前表面板7A的內面7N的內側著色部99。電路基板61配置於顯示板60的後側。電路基板61中搭載著作為發光元件的例如LED70A、LED70B。LED70A、LED70B與控制部100電性連接。 The display panel 60 is closely arranged on the inner colored portion 99 of the inner surface 7N of the front surface plate 7A. The circuit board 61 is disposed on the rear side of the display panel 60. The circuit board 61 is mounted with, for example, LED70A and LED70B that are light emitting elements. The LEDs 70A and 70B are electrically connected to the control unit 100.

LED70A、LED70B藉由控制部100的指令而點燈，由此可分別從背部照亮「左門開」60A與「右門開」60B。即，當藉由控制部100的指令，LED70A點燈時，LED70A從背部照亮顯示內容「左門開」60A，將顯示內容「左門開」60A透過前表面板7A而對使用者點燈顯示。 The LED 70A and the LED 70B are turned on by a command from the control unit 100, so that the "left door open" 60A and the "right door open" 60B can be illuminated from the back, respectively. That is, when the LED 70A is turned on by the instruction of the control unit 100, the LED 70A illuminates the display content "left door open" 60A from the back, and displays the display content "left door open" 60A through the front surface plate 7A to light the user.

同樣地，當藉由控制部100的指令而LED70B點燈時，從背部照亮顯示內容「右門開」60B，將顯示內容「右門開」60B透過前表面板7A而對使用者點燈顯示。 Similarly, when the LED 70B is turned on by an instruction from the control unit 100, the display content "right door open" 60B is illuminated from the back, and the display content "right door open" 60B is displayed on the user through the front surface plate 7A.

藉此，對於使用者而言，即便為半透過性的前表面板7A，亦可容易地視認出作為顯示板60的顯示內容的「左門開」60A與「右門開」60B。 This allows the user to easily recognize "left door open" 60A and "right door open" 60B as the display content of the display panel 60 even with the semi-transparent front surface plate 7A.

另一方面，操作部21藉由使用者使手指與前表面板7A的表面7M接觸，而對控制部100供給檢測輸出信號，可輸入冰箱1的各種操作功能。操作部21位於顯示部20的下部的位置，且密接地配置於前表面板7A的內面7N。操作部21具有電路基板80，該電路基板80上配置著多個靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82。靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82與控制部100電性連接。 On the other hand, when the user contacts his finger with the surface 7M of the front surface plate 7A, the operation unit 21 supplies a detection output signal to the control unit 100 and can input various operation functions of the refrigerator 1. The operation portion 21 is located at a lower portion of the display portion 20 and is closely arranged on the inner surface 7N of the front surface plate 7A. The operation unit 21 includes a circuit board 80 on which a plurality of electrostatic capacity sensors 81 and electrostatic capacity sensors 82 are arranged. The capacitance sensor 81 and the capacitance sensor 82 are electrically connected to the control unit 100.

操作部21的靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82配置於前表面板7A的內面7N的內側著色部99。為了讓使用者能夠容易地從前表面板7A的表面7M側確認靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82的位置，而對靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82進行導通操作，操作指示標記91、操作指示標記92在前表面板7A的表面7M，於與靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82對應的位置，分別藉由印刷或貼附密封材等而設置。 The electrostatic capacitance sensor 81 and the electrostatic capacitance sensor 82 of the operation unit 21 are arranged on the inner colored portion 99 of the inner surface 7N of the front surface plate 7A. In order to allow the user to easily confirm the positions of the capacitance sensor 81 and the capacitance sensor 82 from the surface 7M side of the front surface plate 7A, the capacitance sensor 81 and the capacitance sensor 82 are turned on. The operation instruction mark 91 and the operation instruction mark 92 are provided on the surface 7M of the front surface plate 7A at positions corresponding to the electrostatic capacitance sensor 81 and the electrostatic capacitance sensor 82, respectively, by printing or attaching a sealing material and the like. .

操作指示標記91、操作指示標記92在使用者以手指對靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82進行導通操作時，明示前表面板7A的表面7M中應觸摸的位置。具體而言，圖4中雖省略圖示，但操作指示標記91中有「打開左側的門」的顯示，操作指示標記92中有「打開右側的門」的顯示。 The operation instruction mark 91 and the operation instruction mark 92 clearly indicate the position to be touched on the surface 7M of the front surface plate 7A when the user conducts the conductive operation of the electrostatic capacitance sensor 81 and the electrostatic capacitance sensor 82 with a finger. Specifically, although illustration is omitted in FIG. 4, the operation instruction mark 91 has a display “Open the door on the left side”, and the operation instruction mark 92 has a display “Open the door on the right side”.

藉此，藉由使用者使手指與前表面板7A上的操作指示標記91或操作指示標記92接觸，而靜電電容感測器81或靜電電容感測器82可對控制部100發送關於操作功能的檢測輸出信號。因此，使用者可毫無疑問地觸摸到前表面板7A的表面7M上的正確的位置，對靜電電容感測器81或靜電電容感測器82分別進行導通操作，從而可對控制部100輸入冰箱1的操作功能。 Thereby, the user makes the finger in contact with the operation instruction mark 91 or the operation instruction mark 92 on the front surface plate 7A, and the electrostatic capacitance sensor 81 or the electrostatic capacitance sensor 82 can send an operation function to the control unit 100. Detection output signal. Therefore, the user can undoubtedly touch the correct position on the surface 7M of the front surface plate 7A, and conduct the conducting operation on the electrostatic capacitance sensor 81 or the electrostatic capacitance sensor 82 respectively, so that the control unit 100 can input Operation function of the refrigerator 1.

關於該靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82，可採用如下方式，例如設置於控制部100的檢測電路中使用振盪電路，隨著振盪電路的某端子(電極)的靜電電容的變化而使振盪開始或停止，以此方式對與電極接近的物體、即使用者的手指等進行檢測。 The electrostatic capacitance sensor 81 and the electrostatic capacitance sensor 82 can be implemented in the following manner. For example, an oscillation circuit is used in a detection circuit provided in the control unit 100. As the capacitance of a certain terminal (electrode) of the oscillation circuit changes, The oscillation is started or stopped to detect an object close to the electrode, that is, a user's finger or the like.

進而，如圖3所示，控制部100與開門裝置51、開門裝置52電性連接。使用者以手指與操作指示標記91接觸，當靜電電容感測器81檢測到手指時，靜電電容感測器81從斷開狀態變為導通狀態。因此，靜電電容感測器81將檢測輸出信號R1發送至控制部100。藉此，控制部100藉由對開門裝置51輸出開門控制信號P1，而使開門裝置51驅動。若開門裝置51驅動，則桿突出而可推開左側的門7。 Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 100 is electrically connected to the door opening device 51 and the door opening device 52. The user makes contact with the operation instruction mark 91 with his finger, and when the electrostatic capacitance sensor 81 detects a finger, the electrostatic capacitance sensor 81 changes from the off state to the on state. Therefore, the electrostatic capacitance sensor 81 sends a detection output signal R1 to the control section 100. Accordingly, the control unit 100 drives the door opening device 51 by outputting the door opening control signal P1 to the door opening device 51. When the door opening device 51 is driven, the lever protrudes and the door 7 on the left side can be opened.

同樣地，使用者以手指與操作指示標記92接觸，當靜電電容感測器82檢測到手指時，靜電電容感測器82從斷開狀態變為導通狀態。因此，靜電電容感測器82將檢測輸出信號R2發送至控制部100。藉此，控制部100對開門裝置52輸出開門控制信號P2，藉此使開門裝置52驅動。當開門裝置52驅動時，桿突出而可推開右側的門8。該些開門裝置51、開門裝置52為冰箱1中由控制部100控制的控制對象的一例。 Similarly, the user makes contact with the operation instruction mark 92 with a finger, and when the electrostatic capacitance sensor 82 detects a finger, the electrostatic capacitance sensor 82 changes from the off state to the on state. Therefore, the electrostatic capacitance sensor 82 sends a detection output signal R2 to the control section 100. Thereby, the control part 100 outputs the door opening control signal P2 to the door opening device 52, and drives the door opening device 52 by this. When the door opening device 52 is driven, the lever protrudes to open the door 8 on the right side. The door opening device 51 and the door opening device 52 are examples of a control target controlled by the control unit 100 in the refrigerator 1.

控制部100基於因前表面板7A的顏色的不同所獲得的靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82的輸出的基本值，設定與前表面板7A的顏色對應的顯示部20的LED70A、LED70B的亮度。進而較佳為，控制部100基於因前表面板7A的顏色的不同所獲得的靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82的輸出的基本值的變化，設定臨限值，所述臨限值用以進行與前表面板7A的顏色對應的靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82的導通與斷開的判斷。 The control unit 100 sets the LED 70A of the display unit 20 corresponding to the color of the front surface plate 7A based on the basic values of the capacitance sensor 81 and the capacitance sensor 82 obtained by the color of the front surface plate 7A. , LED70B brightness. It is further preferred that the control unit 100 sets a threshold value based on a change in the basic values of the capacitance sensor 81 and the capacitance sensor 82 obtained due to the difference in the color of the front surface plate 7A. The limit value is used for judging whether the electrostatic capacitance sensor 81 and the electrostatic capacitance sensor 82 are on or off corresponding to the color of the front surface plate 7A.

接下來，參照圖1至圖5，對所述冰箱1組裝時的操作面板部200的設定例進行說明。 Next, a setting example of the operation panel portion 200 when the refrigerator 1 is assembled will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

圖5表示圖3所示的半透過性的前表面板7A的顏色為例如白色WT、棕色BW、及銀色SL的情況下的，靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82的檢測輸出信號值的波形W1、波形W2、波形W3的示例。控制部100可從靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82中的任一者獲得該些檢測輸出信號值的波形W1、波形W2、波形W3，亦可設為從其中之一的靜電電容感測器獲得。 FIG. 5 shows the detection outputs of the capacitance sensor 81 and the capacitance sensor 82 when the color of the semi-transparent front surface plate 7A shown in FIG. 3 is, for example, white WT, brown BW, and silver SL. Examples of waveforms W1, W2, and W3 of signal values. The control unit 100 may obtain the waveforms W1, W2, and W3 of the detected output signal values from any one of the electrostatic capacitance sensor 81 and the electrostatic capacitance sensor 82, and may also be set to electrostatic from one of them. Capacitive sensor.

如圖5所示，在白色WT的波形W1、棕色BW的波形W2、及銀色SL的波形W3中的任一者的情況下，靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82為斷開狀態的情況相比於靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82為導通狀態的情況，變為矩形狀的波形部分111、波形部分112、波形部分113。 As shown in FIG. 5, in the case of any one of the waveform W1 of the white WT, the waveform W2 of the brown BW, and the waveform W3 of the silver SL, the capacitance sensor 81 and the capacitance sensor 82 are turned off. Compared with the case where the electrostatic capacitance sensor 81 and the electrostatic capacitance sensor 82 are in a conductive state, the state of the state becomes a rectangular waveform portion 111, a waveform portion 112, and a waveform portion 113.

在相對於導通狀態下的矩形狀的波形部分111、波形部分112、波形部分113的檢測輸出信號值的基本值111S、基本值112S、基本值113S偏離了規定值的位置，將白色臨限值SH1、棕色臨限值SH2、銀色臨限值SH3分別如虛線所示般進行設定。 The rectangular waveform portion 111 and the waveform portion in the on state The detection output signal values of 112, 113S, 111S, 112S, and 113S deviate from the specified values. Set the white threshold SH1, brown threshold SH2, and silver threshold SH3 as follows: Set as shown by the dotted line.

圖4所示的控制部100能夠將圖5所示的白色臨限值SH1、棕色臨限值SH2、銀色臨限值SH3在矩形狀的波形部分111、波形部分112、波形部分113的範圍內，相對於檢測輸出信號值的基本值111S、基本值112S、基本值113S，設定於具有規定值的餘裕的，例如具有10%左右餘裕的位置。若檢測輸出信號值的基本值111S設為位準1，則檢測輸入信號值的基本值112S為位準2，檢測輸入信號值的基本值113S為位準3，為互不相同的值。 The control unit 100 shown in FIG. 4 can set the white threshold value SH1, the brown threshold value SH2, and the silver threshold value SH3 shown in FIG. 5 within the rectangular waveform portion 111, the waveform portion 112, and the waveform portion 113. With respect to the basic value 111S, the basic value 112S, and the basic value 113S of the detection output signal value, it is set at a position having a margin of a predetermined value, for example, a margin of about 10%. If the basic value 111S of the detected output signal value is set to level 1, the basic value 112S of the detected input signal value is level 2 and the basic value 113S of the detected input signal value is level 3, which are mutually different values.

在組裝冰箱1的現場，作業人員向圖1所示的門7的前表面側將半透明性的前表面板7A例如安裝於門7的框材。在前表面板7A的內面7N預先配置著內側著色部99。 At the site where the refrigerator 1 is assembled, an operator attaches a translucent front surface plate 7A to the frame material of the door 7 toward the front surface side of the door 7 shown in FIG. 1. An inner colored portion 99 is arranged on the inner surface 7N of the front surface plate 7A in advance.

當安裝該前表面板7A時，如圖3與圖4所示，操作面板部200使用黏著片等黏接劑配置於前表面板7A的內面7N的內側著色部99。藉此，顯示部20與操作部21固定於半透過性的前表面板7A的內面7N的內側著色部99側。 When the front surface plate 7A is attached, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the operation panel portion 200 is disposed on the inner colored portion 99 of the inner surface 7N of the front surface plate 7A using an adhesive such as an adhesive sheet. Thereby, the display portion 20 and the operation portion 21 are fixed to the inner colored portion 99 side of the inner surface 7N of the semi-permeable front surface plate 7A.

關於所使用的前表面板7A，根據組裝時的作業指令，選自白色WT、棕色BW、及銀色SL中的任一者。 The front surface plate 7A to be used is selected from any one of white WT, brown BW, and silver SL in accordance with work instructions during assembly.

操作部21的靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82配置於半透過性的前表面板7A的內面7N側，如圖5所例示，從靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82送至控制部100的檢測輸出信號值的基本值111S、基本值112S、基本值113S的位準因前表面板7A的顏色的不同而不同。 The capacitance sensor 81 and the capacitance sensor 82 of the operation unit 21 are disposed on the inner surface 7N side of the semi-permeable front surface plate 7A. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the capacitance sensor 81 and the capacitance sensor The detection output sent from the detector 82 to the control section 100 The levels of the basic value 111S, the basic value 112S, and the basic value 113S of the output signal value differ depending on the color of the front surface plate 7A.

藉由作業人員將仿真人體的一部分靠近靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82，而控制部100判斷從靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82送至控制部100的檢測輸出信號值的基本值為圖5所示的檢測輸出信號值的基本值111S、基本值112S、基本值113S中的哪一個。 The operator closes a part of the simulated human body to the electrostatic capacity sensor 81 and the electrostatic capacity sensor 82, and the control unit 100 determines the detection sent from the electrostatic capacity sensor 81 and the electrostatic capacity sensor 82 to the control unit 100. The basic value of the output signal value is which one of the basic value 111S, the basic value 112S, and the basic value 113S of the detection output signal value shown in FIG. 5 is detected.

即，控制部100在獲得檢測輸出信號值的基本值111S後，判斷前表面板7A的顏色為白色WT。同樣地，控制部100在獲得檢測輸出信號值的基本值112S後，判斷前表面板7A的顏色為棕色BW。控制部100在獲得檢測輸出信號值的基本值113S後，判斷前表面板7A的顏色為銀色SL。 That is, the control unit 100 determines that the color of the front surface plate 7A is white WT after obtaining the basic value 111S of the detection output signal value. Similarly, the control unit 100 determines that the color of the front surface plate 7A is brown BW after obtaining the basic value 112S of the detection output signal value. After obtaining the basic value 113S of the detection output signal value, the control unit 100 determines that the color of the front surface plate 7A is silver SL.

藉此，控制部100改變對顯示部20的LED70A、LED70B的電流值，而相應於前表面板7A的顏色自動地設定顯示部20的LED70A、LED70B發光時的亮度。控制部100在前表面板7A的顏色為白色WT時，使LED70A、LED70B的發光量為最小，在為棕色時，使LED70A、LED70B的發光量比白色多，若為銀色，則使LED70A、LED70B的發光量進一步比白色多。 As a result, the control unit 100 changes the current value to the LEDs 70A and 70B of the display unit 20, and automatically sets the brightness when the LEDs 70A and 70B of the display unit 20 emit light according to the color of the front surface plate 7A. When the color of the front surface plate 7A is white WT, the control unit 100 minimizes the light emission of LED70A and LED70B, and when it is brown, makes the light emission of LED70A and LED70B more than white, and when it is silver, makes LED70A and LED70B The amount of luminescence is further more than white.

據此，無論前表面板7A的顏色如何，亦可統一使用者透過前表面板7A所看見的LED70A、LED70B的亮度。 Accordingly, regardless of the color of the front surface plate 7A, the brightness of the LEDs 70A and LED 70B seen by the user through the front surface plate 7A can be unified.

如所述般，控制部100如圖5所示，在獲得檢測輸出信號值的基本值111S而判斷前表面板7A的顏色為白色WT，或獲得檢測輸出信號值的基本值112S而判斷前表面板7A的顏色為棕色BW，進而獲得檢測輸出信號值的基本值113S而判斷前表面板7A的顏色為銀色SL時，確定前表面板7A的顏色為白色WT、棕色BW還是銀色SL。 As described above, as shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 100 determines that the color of the front surface plate 7A is white WT after obtaining the basic value 111S of the detection output signal value, or obtains When the basic value 112S of the detection output signal value is obtained to determine the color of the front surface plate 7A as brown BW, and then the basic value 113S of the detection output signal value is determined to determine the color of the front surface plate 7A as silver SL, the determination of the front surface plate 7A is determined. The color is white WT, brown BW or silver SL.

因此，控制部100在前表面板7A的顏色為白色WT時，將判斷該情況下的靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82是導通狀態還是斷開狀態的臨限值，自動地設定為白色臨限值SH1。 Therefore, when the color of the front surface plate 7A is white WT, the control unit 100 automatically determines whether the capacitance sensor 81 and the capacitance sensor 82 are in the on-state or the off-state threshold, and automatically Set to white threshold SH1.

同樣地，控制部100在前表面板7A的顏色為棕色BW時，將判斷該情況下的靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82是導通狀態還是斷開狀態的臨限值，自動地設定為棕色臨限值SH2。 Similarly, when the color of the front surface plate 7A is brown BW, the control unit 100 determines whether the capacitance sensor 81 and the capacitance sensor 82 are on or off thresholds in this case, and automatically Ground is set to brown threshold SH2.

進而，控制部100在前表面板7A的顏色為銀色SL時，將判斷該情況下的靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82是導通狀態還是斷開狀態的臨限值，自動地設定為銀色臨限值SH3。 Further, when the color of the front surface plate 7A is silver SL, the control unit 100 determines whether the capacitance sensor 81 and the capacitance sensor 82 are in the on-state or the off-state threshold in this case, and automatically Set to silver threshold SH3.

如此，控制部100可對應於前表面板7A的顏色的不同，而調整靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82的感度。 In this way, the control unit 100 can adjust the sensitivity of the electrostatic capacitance sensor 81 and the electrostatic capacitance sensor 82 in accordance with the color of the front surface plate 7A.

控制部100可藉由判斷前表面板7A的顏色，而相應於作為前表面板7A的顏色的白色WT、棕色BW或銀色SL，分別自動地進行至少顯示部20的LED70A、LED70B的亮度的調整，進而較佳為靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82的感度的調整。因此，即便前表面板7A的顏色預先設定有多種，但只要準備一種電路基板，便可對應於前表面板7A的各種顏色(色彩)。 The control unit 100 can automatically adjust the brightness of at least the LEDs 70A and 70B of the display unit 20 by determining the color of the front surface plate 7A, and corresponding to the white WT, brown BW, or silver SL that is the color of the front surface plate 7A. It is further preferable to adjust the sensitivity of the electrostatic capacitance sensor 81 and the electrostatic capacitance sensor 82. Therefore, even if a plurality of colors of the front surface plate 7A are set in advance, as long as one type of circuit board is prepared, it can correspond to various colors (colors) of the front surface plate 7A.

因此，本發明的實施形態中，無須準備習知為必需的、相應於前表面板7A的顏色改變了分壓電路的電阻值的多種電路基板。並且，在作業人員組裝冰箱時，無須從多種電路基板中選擇符合前表面板的顏色的電路基板並進行安裝。因此，可消除電路基板的安裝錯誤，且減少冰箱的組裝現場的管理的煩雜性。 Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is not necessary to prepare a plurality of circuit boards, which are conventionally required and whose resistance value of the voltage dividing circuit is changed in accordance with the color of the front surface plate 7A. In addition, when an operator assembles a refrigerator, there is no need to select and install a circuit board that matches the color of the front surface board from a variety of circuit boards. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the mounting error of the circuit board and reduce the complexity of the management of the assembly site of the refrigerator.

而且，在習知上，在修理等時需要將門的例如白色的前表面板更換為棕色的前表面板的情況下，需要伴隨前表面板7A的更換亦更換電路基板。 Furthermore, conventionally, when it is necessary to replace, for example, a white front surface plate of a door with a brown front surface plate during repairs or the like, it is necessary to replace the circuit board with the replacement of the front surface plate 7A.

然而，本發明的實施形態的冰箱1中，即便因修理等目的而需要將門7的白色的前表面板7A更換為棕色的前表面板7A，亦無須進行電路基板61、電路基板80的更換。因此，可相應於新的棕色的前表面板7A至少設定顯示部20的LED70A、LED70B亮度，進而亦可藉由靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82的輸出的基本值的變化，設定與前表面板的顏色對應的臨限值，該臨限值用以與前表面板7A的顏色對應地進行靜電電容感測器81、靜電電容感測器82的導通狀態與斷開狀態的判斷。 However, in the refrigerator 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, even if it is necessary to replace the white front surface plate 7A of the door 7 with a brown front surface plate 7A for the purpose of repair or the like, there is no need to replace the circuit substrate 61 and the circuit substrate 80. Therefore, at least the brightness of the LEDs 70A and 70B of the display portion 20 can be set corresponding to the new brown front surface plate 7A. Furthermore, the output of the electrostatic capacitance sensor 81 and the electrostatic capacitance sensor 82 can also be changed by the basic value. A threshold value corresponding to the color of the front surface plate is set, and the threshold value is used to perform the on-state and off-state of the electrostatic capacitance sensor 81 and the electrostatic capacitance sensor 82 according to the color of the front surface plate 7A. Judge.

此處，對冰箱1被組裝並出貨後，使用者使用冰箱1的情況下的使用例進行簡單說明。 Here, a usage example in the case where the user uses the refrigerator 1 after the refrigerator 1 is assembled and shipped is described briefly.

使用者以手指與圖4所示的操作指示標記91接觸，當靜電電容感測器81檢測到手指時靜電電容感測器81從斷開狀態變為導通狀態。因此，靜電電容感測器81將檢測輸出信號R1發送至控制部100。藉此，控制部100藉由對圖3所示的開門裝置 51輸出開門控制信號P1，而使開門裝置51驅動。當開門裝置51驅動時，桿突出而可推開左側的門7。 The user makes contact with the operation instruction mark 91 shown in FIG. 4 with his finger, and when the electrostatic capacitance sensor 81 detects a finger, the electrostatic capacitance sensor 81 changes from the off state to the on state. Therefore, the electrostatic capacitance sensor 81 sends a detection output signal R1 to the control section 100. Thereby, the control unit 100 controls the door opening device shown in FIG. 3 by 51 outputs a door opening control signal P1, and drives the door opening device 51.
