As the reflection plate 231 is rotated by the needle shaft gear 140 rotated by the bourdon tube 110 contracted and expanded based on the change in pressure, when the intensity of the light outputted by the light receiving detector 232 is changed, the light computation output unit 233 converts the detection intensity of the light into an electrical pressure signal that can be inputted into other devices.

As the magnetic rotation plate 241 is rotated by the needle shaft gear 140 rotated by the bourdon tube 110 contracted and expanded based on the change in pressure, when the magnetic field is changed, the magnetic field detection sensor 242 detects the changed magnetic field. The magnetic field computation output unit 243 converts the detection value of the magnetic field detected by the magnetic field detection sensor 242 into an electrical pressure signal that can be directly inputted into another device.

[30] As shown in Figure 10, in another embodiment of the present invention, in the above construction that there are provided a bourdon tube 110 that is formed in a spiral shape and is expanded by pressure applied thereto; a variation gear 120 for converting a variation of the bourdon tube 110 into a rotational movement; and a needle shaft gear 140 that has an indicating needle 130 for indicating scales 150, there are further provided an induction rod 282 that is installed at an end portion of the bourdon tube 110 and is moved in a straight line shape based on the variation; an induction detection coil 282 for detecting an induction electromotive force based on the distance from the induction bar 281; and an induction magnetic computation output unit 283 for converting an induction magnetic field detected by the induction detection coil 282 into an electrical pressure signal. As the induction bar 281 is length- varied by the bourdon tube 110, when a magnetic change is detected in the induction detection coil 282, the induction magnetic computation output unit 283 converts into an electrical pressure signal that can be directly inputted into other devices.
[31] As shown in Figure 11, in another embodiment of the present invention, in the above construction that there are provided a bourdon tube 110 that is formed in a spiral shape and is expanded by pressure applied thereto; a variation gear 120 for converting a variation of the bourdon tube 110 into a rotational movement; and a needle shaft gear 140 that has an indicating needle 130 for indicating scales 150, there are further provided a variation magnetic bar 291 that is installed at an end portion of the bourdon tube 110 and is moved in a straight line shape based on the variation and is made of a magnetic member; a variation magnetic sensor 292 for detecting a decrease of the magnetic force based on the distance from the variation magnetic bar 291; and a variation magnetic computation output unit 293 for converting a magnetic variation detection value detected by the variation magnetic sensor 292 into an electrical pressure signal. As the variation magnetic bar 292 is length-varied by the bourdon tube 110 contracted and expanded based on the variation, when the variation magnetic sensor 292 detects the decrease of magnetism, the variation magnetic computation output unit 293 converts into an electrical pressure signal that can be directly inputted into other devices.
[32] In the bourdon pressure gauge formed of a bourdon tube 110 that is formed in a spiral shape and is expanded by pressure applied thereto; a variation gear 120 for converting a variation of the bourdon tube 110 into a rotational movement; and a needle shaft gear 140 that has an indicating needle 130 for indicating scales 150, the detection of the variation of the bourdon tube is performed using a plurality of tube detection units through the detection of the straight line movement using the needle shaft gear 140, the scales 150 and the bourdon tube 110. The detected pressure value is converted into an electric pressure signal and is inputted into a certain electronic device that needs an input of an electrical pressure value, so that various devices can be effectively controlled for thereby achieving an accurate control.
Industrial Applicability
[33] As described above, the pressure values can be visually displayed using the indicating needle and scales by providing the tube detection units capable of detecting the variation of the bourdon tube when implementing the bourdon pressure gauge, and the detected pressure value is converted into an electrical pressure signal that can be directly inputted into other devices, so that the remote and accurate controls of various devices can be implemented.
[34] As the present invention may be embodied in several forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof, it should also be understood that the above-described examples are not limited by any of the details of the foregoing de¬ scription, unless otherwise specified, but rather should be construed broadly within its spirit and scope as defined in the appended claims, and therefore all changes and modi¬ fications that fall within the meets and bounds of the claims, or equivalences of such meets and bounds are therefore intended to be embraced by the appended claims.
