In FIG. 1, there is a fuel distribution terminal 1 provided with a distribution pipe 2 and a distribution gun 3.
Lorsque le pistolet est décroché pour charger un véhicule 4, un interrupteur 5, placé dans la borne, est fermé et permet-au circuit 7 d'émettre et de recevoir des signaux électriques par une liaison 2A le long du tuyau l'alimentation d'un circuit 6 d'antennes d'émission et de réception placé -sur le pistolet. Ce circuit interroge (par voie hertzienne) un répondeur électronique 7 placé sur le véhicule. Ce répondeur fournit en réponse, par une émission radio reçue par le circuit 6 des informations relatives à son identité. When the pistol is off to charge a vehicle 4, a switch 5, placed in the terminal, is closed and allows the circuit 7 to transmit and receive electrical signals by a link 2A along the supply pipe. a circuit 6 of transmitting and receiving antennas placed on the gun. This circuit interrogates (over the air) an electronic answering machine 7 placed on the vehicle. This responder provides in response, by a radio transmission received by circuit 6, information relating to its identity.
Cette information est transmise par la liaison 2A le long du tuyau et par une liaison cablée 9 à un poste d'interrogation 10 qui' contient en mémoire les données relatives à l'identification des véhicules et, éventuellement à leurs besoins en carburant (nature, quantité). This information is transmitted by the link 2A along the pipe and by a wired link 9 to an interrogation station 10 which 'contains in memory the data relating to the identification of the vehicles and, possibly their fuel needs (nature, quantity).
Si l'identification est reconnue valable, le poste d'interrogation donne une autorisation de distribution à la borne. If the identification is recognized as valid, the interrogation station gives a distribution authorization to the terminal.
Celle-ci, contient un débitmètre, (par exemple une roue phonique associée à un transducteur) dont les indications sont transmises à un poste 12 de saisie de donnée. Ce poste recueille toutes les autres informations relatives à la prestation fournie, telles que la date, l'heure, l'identité du serveur, l'identité du véhicule servi et la nature du carburant distribué. This contains a flow meter (for example a tone wheel associated with a transducer), the indications of which are transmitted to a data entry station 12. This station collects all other information relating to the service provided, such as the date, time, identity of the server, identity of the vehicle served and the nature of the fuel distributed.
Un ticket fournissant tout ou partie de ces données peut être élaboré par le poste 12 et une liste des opérations peut être établie par une imprimante 13. A ticket providing all or part of this data can be produced by the station 12 and a list of operations can be drawn up by a printer 13.
Après chaque opération ou en variante périodiquement, par exemple chaque jour, les données reçues ou accumulées par le poste 12 sont soit transmises directement à un ordinateur 14, soit accumulées dans un disque ou disquette 15 par un enregistreur 16, pour être traitées ultérieurement, soit par un ordinateur tel que 14, soit par une unité centrale de traitement 17. After each operation or alternatively periodically, for example each day, the data received or accumulated by the station 12 are either transmitted directly to a computer 14, or accumulated in a disk or floppy disk 15 by a recorder 16, for further processing, or by a computer such as 14, or by a central processing unit 17.
L'ordinateur 14 et l'unité centrale 17 peuvent coexister et être reliés l'un à l'autre. The computer 14 and the central unit 17 can coexist and be connected to each other.
Le poste 12 de saisie de données peut être muni d'un clavier pour introduire manuellement les données relatives à un véhicule et permettre ainsi d'assurer les prestations même si le circuit d'antennes d'émission et de réception du pistolet et/ou le répondeur associé au véhicule étaient défectueux. The data entry station 12 can be provided with a keyboard for manually entering the data relating to a vehicle and thus making it possible to provide the services even if the circuit of transmitting and receiving antennas of the gun and / or the answering machine associated with the vehicle were defective.
Le serveur sera muni d'une carte magnétique de service qui sera lu par un lecteur du poste 12. The server will be provided with a magnetic service card which will be read by a reader of station 12.
Comme le montre la figure 2, un poste d'interrogation 10 et un poste de saisie 12 de données peuvent être communs à plusieurs bornes de distribution. As shown in FIG. 2, an interrogation station 10 and a data entry station 12 can be common to several distribution terminals.
La figure 3 montre partiellement un pistolet 3 sur lequel est fixé un circuit d'antennes d'émission et de réception 6. Ce dernier comprend une antenne d'émission 21 et une antenne de réception 22 fixées sur une carte 24 de circuit imprimé portant un bornier 25. Une plaque isolante 26 sépare les antennes du bornier. Figure 3 partially shows a gun 3 on which is fixed a circuit of transmitting and receiving antennas 6. The latter comprises a transmitting antenna 21 and a receiving antenna 22 fixed on a printed circuit board 24 carrying a terminal block 25. An insulating plate 26 separates the antennas from the terminal block.
Les deux antennes sont noyées dans de la résine formant un bloc 28. The two antennas are embedded in resin forming a block 28.
Le bornier est protégé par un couvercle 29 vissé sur le bloc.The terminal block is protected by a cover 29 screwed onto the block.
Le bloc 28 est conformé pour épouser en partie la forme cylindrique de l'extrémité 3A du pistolet de distribution sur lequel il est fixé par des attaches souples 31 et 32 passant dans des fentes 33 et 34 du bloc. The block 28 is shaped to partially match the cylindrical shape of the end 3A of the dispensing gun on which it is fixed by flexible fasteners 31 and 32 passing through slots 33 and 34 of the block.
- Dans les figures 4 à 6 on distingue l'antenne d'émission comprenant deux bobinages 21A, un pot en ferrite 21B et un condensateur 21C et l'antenne de réception comprenant un bobinage 22A et un pot en ferrite 22B. - In Figures 4 to 6 we distinguish the transmitting antenna comprising two coils 21A, a ferrite pot 21B and a capacitor 21C and the receiving antenna comprising a coil 22A and a ferrite pot 22B.

Le poste 10 comprend une alimentation 30 alimentée sur le secteur alternatif et fournissant une première tension à un circuit émetteur 31 et une seconde tension à un circuit récepteur 32. The station 10 comprises a power supply 30 supplied from the AC sector and supplying a first voltage to a transmitter circuit 31 and a second voltage to a receiver circuit 32.
La circuit émetteur 31 élabore une première fréquence convenablement codée et transmise par un circuit de sortie 33 à l'antenne d'émission. La fréquence d'émission est par exemple 132 kHZ. The transmitter circuit 31 develops a first frequency suitably coded and transmitted by an output circuit 33 to the transmit antenna. The transmission frequency is for example 132 kHz.
Le circuit récepteur 32 est relié par un circuit d'entrée 34 à l'antenne de réception. Celle-ci a lieu par exemple à la fréquence de 66 kHZ. The receiving circuit 32 is connected by an input circuit 34 to the receiving antenna. This takes place for example at the frequency of 66 kHz.
L'émission est court circuitée par un transistor 35 en cas de défauts soit sur l'émission soit sur la réception, respectivement détectés par des transformateurs d'intensités 36 et 37. The transmission is short-circuited by a transistor 35 in the event of faults either on the transmission or on the reception, respectively detected by current transformers 36 and 37.
Une diode Zener 38 fournit à ce circuit une tension de référence. A Zener diode 38 supplies this circuit with a reference voltage.
Le circuit 30 est complété par une carte 40 dite carte de sécurité intrinsèque qui assure qu'aucune tension ou courant dangereux ne pourront apparaitre dans la zone proche de l'extrémité du pistolet de distribution (risque de déflagration). The circuit 30 is supplemented by a card 40 called the intrinsic safety card which ensures that no dangerous voltage or current can appear in the area close to the end of the dispensing gun (risk of explosion).
Cette carte est décrite dans la figure 8, les lettres A, B, C, D,
E, F, G, H montrant comment elle se relie, d'une part au circuit d'interration 10, d'autre part au circuit d'antenne 6.This map is described in Figure 8, the letters A, B, C, D,
E, F, G, H showing how it connects, on the one hand to the interaction circuit 10, on the other hand to the antenna circuit 6.
La protection côté émission est assurée par une résistance 41, un fusible 42 une barrière de potentiel constituée par trois fois deux diodes Zener montées tête-bêche, 43, 44, 45 ; 45, 46 ; 47, 48, une résistance 49 et un transformateur d'isolement 50 à rapport abaisseur (1/3 par exemple). Protection on the emission side is provided by a resistor 41, a fuse 42 a potential barrier constituted by three times two Zener diodes mounted head to tail, 43, 44, 45; 45, 46; 47, 48, a resistor 49 and an isolation transformer 50 with step-down ratio (1/3 for example).
Côté réception, la protection est assurée par une résistance 51 un fusible 52, une série de six diodes Zener 53 à 58, une résistance 59 et un transformateur d'isolement 60 de rapport 1. On the reception side, protection is provided by a resistor 51, a fuse 52, a series of six Zener diodes 53 to 58, a resistor 59 and an isolation transformer 60 of ratio 1.
Tous les composants sont dimensionnés pour travailler à une fraction de leur puissance nominale pour être réputés infaillibles et les diodes Zener sont triplées. All the components are dimensioned to work at a fraction of their nominal power to be deemed infallible and the Zener diodes are tripled.
Le circuit répondeur 7 est avantageusement du type de celui décrit dans la demande de brevet européen nO O 040 544 déposée le 19 mai 1981 et publiée le 25 novembre 1981. The responder circuit 7 is advantageously of the type described in European patent application No. 0 040 544 filed on May 19, 1981 and published on November 25, 1981.

Le répondeur sera codé en affectant
- 3 quartets au numéro du véhicule.The answering machine will be coded by assigning
- 3 quartets to the vehicle number.
- 3 quartets au centre où il est affecté. - 3 quartets in the center where he is assigned.
- 1 quartets à l'activité du véhicule. - 1 quartet for vehicle activity.
- 1 quartet à la nature du produit distribué. - 1 quartet to the nature of the product distributed.
La sécurité de la distribution est assurée grâce à la portée réduite de l'antenne du circuit d'antennes qui est au maximum de l'ordre de 10 à 15 cm. Security of distribution is ensured thanks to the reduced range of the antenna of the antenna circuit which is at most of the order of 10 to 15 cm.
Par ailleurs la carte de sécurité intrinsèque permet l'échange d'informations (notamment l'identité du véhicule) pendant le remplissage du carburant. In addition, the intrinsic safety card allows the exchange of information (in particular the identity of the vehicle) during the filling of the fuel.
