DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention.
2 and FIG.

FIG. 1 shows a display surface of an inspection board which is a display means. The inspection board 1 has a column 2 for checking items such as tires, brakes and engine oil on the left side of the display surface.
However, in the center, there is a judgment column 3 that displays the judgment of the result of the inspection for each inspection item, and on the further right side, the time condition that requires replacement based on the result or parts necessary for maintenance is displayed. Column 4 is provided for each.

FIG. 2 shows a judgment means 5 for providing judgment materials for displaying the maintenance policy and the like on the inspection board 1 which is a display means based on the inspection result, and an estimation calculation means 6 for providing an estimate of the cost for the maintenance. The block diagram of the arithmetic processing system is shown.
In the block diagram, the judgment means or judgment device 5
The estimation calculation means, that is, the estimation calculation device 6 comprises a CPU, and the determination device 5 and the estimation calculation device 6 are connected to each other, and the determination device 5 has an input device 7 and a display device 8 including a display. A recording device 9 composed of a printer is connected to the judgment device 5 and the estimation calculation device 6, and a data storage device 10 is also connected to the judgment device 5 and the estimation calculation device 6.

The input device 7 is provided with the address and name of each customer of the customer list, that is, the owner of the vehicle, the distance traveled at each past inspection of the vehicle, the actual inspection data for each inspection item, and each inspection item. Replacement parts, if you need
In addition, the allowable value for each inspection item for each type of vehicle and the cost of parts and maintenance work required for maintenance when each inspection item for each type of vehicle is non-conforming or semi-conforming,
Further, in the case of semi-conformity or non-conformity of each inspection item, data such as running problems that may possibly occur for each inspection item is input, and the determination device 5 that inputs these data is input.
Stores these data in the storage device 10.

Next, the inspection work using the inspection board 1 will be described.

First, the customer delivers his / her own vehicle to the inspection / maintenance place, and then the maintenance person sequentially inspects each inspection item such as a wheel portion and an engine portion of the automobile in accordance with a work procedure.

In addition, when the maintenance person inputs the address and name of the customer, that is, the owner of the automobile, into the input device 7, the determination device 5
Is the data of the inspection results of the owner's car's past mileage, tire remaining groove, brake pad, lining etc. of each inspection item in the inspection of the previous time and the previous two times and each inspection item according to the vehicle type of the car The allowable value of is read from the storage device 10.

When the maintenance person inputs the inspection result of each inspection item into the input device 7, the judgment device 5 feels safe until the next vehicle inspection when the value of the inspection result for each inspection item is within 70% of each allowable value. Is it in a good condition that can be adapted,
Or, the value of each inspection result is, for example, 99 to
Within 71%, it does not hinder driving at present, but it is semi-compliant when parts need to be replaced or repaired before the next vehicle inspection, or parts are replaced when the value of each inspection result is 100% or more of each allowable value or If the vehicle inspection fails without repair, it is determined whether or not the vehicle is incompatible, and the result of the determination is displayed on the display device 8.

Then, the mechanic judges the judgment result for each inspection item in the judgment display column 3 of the inspection board 1 by displaying a blue lamp for conformity, a yellow for semi-conformance, a red lamp for nonconformity, or a color with a magnet. A mark is attached and the inspection result is communicated to the customer.

In FIG. 1, ⊚ indicates blue, ∘ indicates yellow, and ● indicates red.

By looking at the color of the judgment display on the inspection board 1, the customer can know the condition of his / her vehicle before receiving the explanation of the inspection result.

If an incompatibility of red indicating that maintenance is required immediately appears, the memory device 10 displays the replacement part data of the customer's vehicle, and the mechanic indicates the replacement part name in the maintenance column 4 of the inspection board 1. Fill out. Also, if a semi-compliant yellow judgment is given, there is no problem at this time, but since parts replacement and maintenance will be required in the near future, it is necessary to accurately predict and inform the customer of the time limit, The basis for this is the data of the inspection results input in the storage device 10 at the time of the previous inspection and the inspection two times before. For example, in the case of a tire, it is appropriate that the remaining groove of the tire is 1.6 mm or more as a standard, and if it is 1.7 mm in the inspection, even if it is compatible at the present time, if you continue running,
At a certain time, it will be below 1.6 mm, but the running data of the customer's vehicle, that is, the mileage at the time of this inspection is 2,500 km and the tire groove is 1.7 mm two months ago The mileage at the last inspection was 2,300km
If the tire groove is 1.8 mm, then 20
At 0 km, the tire groove will decrease by 0.1 mm,
Therefore, it can be predicted that the mileage will be 2,700 km and the tire groove will be 1.6 mm after two months. Therefore, the determination device 5 performs such calculation processing to calculate the time limit of two months and display it on the display device 8. Displayed, the mechanic wrote in the maintenance column 4 of the inspection board 1 of the semi-conforming yellow judgment item that maintenance is required for 2 months, and the life of the engine oil is 5,0 for turbo cars.
If the life of the normal vehicle is 00km and the life of the normal vehicle is twice as long as 10,000km, the determination device 5 calculates the time limit of one year for the turbo vehicle when the vehicle has a mileage of 5,000km per year.
In the case of a normal car, the time limit of two years is calculated and displayed on the display device 8. Furthermore, if the brake pads and the lining are also judged to be yellow, the judgment device 5 similarly calculates the replacement time limit after 6 months from the degree of wear and the running data, and displays it on the display device 8, and the mechanic Similarly to the above, the replacement time limit indicated on the display device 8 is entered in the remarks column 4 of the inspection board 1. Further, the judging device 5 has a risk of a traffic accident when the inspection item, for example, when the tire is semi-conforming or non-conforming, there is a possibility of running problems, that is, the wheels easily slip on a rainy day. Alternatively, the danger that the tire will be punctured is displayed on the display device 8, and the maintenance vehicle writes the problem matter described on the display device 8 in the remarks column 4 of the inspection board 1 as described above. It is also possible to print out the display of these inspection item, judgment result, and remarks columns by the recording device 9.

After the judgment results of these non-conforming red and semi-conforming yellow are obtained, the estimating device 6 is instructed by the instruction of the judging device 5.
Asks for the required maintenance cost to pass the vehicle inspection by summing the cost of parts required for maintenance and the maintenance work cost according to the vehicle type of the inspected vehicle for each inspection item that was judged to be non-conforming to red It is printed out by the recording device 9 as a first type estimate.

Further, the estimation and calculation device 6 adds up the cost of parts necessary for maintenance and the maintenance work cost for each inspection item for which a yellow semi-conformity is determined, as described above, until the next vehicle inspection. The required maintenance cost is obtained, and the second kind of estimate, which is the sum of the maintenance cost and the essential maintenance cost, is printed out by the recording device 9.

Then, the mechanic presents the first type estimate and the second type estimate to the customer, and the customer considers the cost and the estimated replacement time of the yellow judgment, and the tire is replaced one month later. Then, whether to try at the same time, or because there is no financial allowance now, for the time being, choose whether or not to make only the red judgment that passes the vehicle inspection.

In this way, the mechanic only needs to carry out the maintenance according to the customer's choice, so that the maintenance cost can be reduced and the maintenance time can be shortened as well as the unfavorable excessive maintenance can be avoided. Appropriate maintenance can be performed.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
