Abstract

The present invention relates to a valuated data automatically reading electronic pound scale and the application method thereof. The method mainly uses a data reading device of the electronic pound scale which is internally built or is externally hung. When weighing and valuation trade is carried out, the device rapidly reads product trade data which is marked on a traded article label and is transmitted to the electronic pound scale, and a product is weighed by matching with the electronic pound scale. By using unit basic price which is originally marked in trade data or the unit basic price of the traded article, which is stored in the electronic pound scale in advance, valuation result is counted in real time and is displayed. An accounts settling label containing valuation result data can be further output, is marked on the traded article and is used for accounting. The electronic pound scale can also be connected with an outer machine set through an updating and connecting unit and updates the data of a software system, the unit basic price, the special price, etc.

Description

Electronic pound scale capable of reading valuated data and application process thereof

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of electronic pound scale capable of reading valuated data and application process thereof, be particularly related to and a kind ofly use applicable to retail and sales field, pass through data fetch device, read the product trading data on the product label, the weight that cooperates the electronic weighbridge weighing, the unit base price that includes with these product trading data, or by the unit weight base price that storage unit obtains shows or output valuation result's electronic weighbridge and application process thereof as calculated.

Background technology

Electronic weighbridge commonly used mainly is made up of meausring apparatus and pricing device two parts, and wherein this meausring apparatus contains a housing, and a scale pan that is positioned at this housing top, and cooperation bracket component in housing inboard is equipped with the weight induction device; Pricing device is then by computing unit, storage unit and be disposed at a plurality of function keys, memory button module and enter key module on the case panel, in order to cooperating each memory button to import the banknote denomination of these base prices numeral and the buyer paid of collecting and calculate under the operation of function key, and the display demonstration is formed.

Weighing that electronic weighbridge provided that should be commonly used and valuation method of commerce, be to cooperate storage unit that the storage of some article unit weight base prices is provided by a plurality of memory buttons, when weighing valuation transaction, the user carries out the weight weighing except that product being placed on the described scale pan, also must be with manual operative memory key or enter key one by one, valuation data such as the kind of input product, unit weight base price show the valuation result by the calculating of electronic weighbridge by display; This with manual input mode input valuation data, not only cause the mistake of input easily, and during operating cost, the valuation more necessary memory of operator or on enter key, indicate the product that is suitable for, inconvenience in the use; In the renewal of these external valuation data, also must be one by one operate and upgrade, quite time-consuming and inconvenience through keying repeatedly; As for Control Software such as the calculating of this electronic weighbridge and runnings, then can't upgrade.

Summary of the invention

Fundamental purpose of the present invention is to overcome above-mentioned shortcoming.The invention provides and be applicable to what used retail and sales field, electronic weighbridge is combined with data fetch device, pass through data fetch device, read the product trading data of label on the product, the weight that cooperates the electronic weighbridge weighing, the unit base price that includes with these product trading data, or by the unit weight base price of electronic weighbridge storage is calculated and is shown or output valuation result's electronic weighbridge and application process thereof.

For reaching above-mentioned purpose, utilize built-in or be hung on the data fetch device of electronic weighbridge outward, when carrying out weighing valuation transaction, read fast by this device and to be shown in the label that contains the product trading data on the product, be sent to electronic weighbridge to cooperate the weight of its weighing, the unit base price that includes with these product trading data, or choose the unit weight base price of this product storage, calculate in real time and demonstration valuation result, also can further export the valuation result data in the label of checking out, be shown on the product for the use of checking out; Described electronic weighbridge also can upgrade linkage unit by one and connect the renewal that outside unit carries out software systems and each product or base price of specific products unit weight or special price data.

What electronic weighbridge provided by the invention can realize that product weighs and valuate and calculate carrying out synchronously, has avoided the loaded down with trivial details and input error of manual input product valuation data, easy to use.And can connect outside unit, upgrade various valuation data easily, and can further realize the renewal of Control Software such as the calculating of electronic weighbridge and running.
