Next, a process executed in each unit of the power fee payment device DPS illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 9 will be described with reference to flowcharts.
FIGS. 10 to 12 show flowcharts of processing executed by the power card 1, and FIGS. 13 to 16 show processing executed by the outdoor control device 7.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the debitable amount PPB transmission process, which is executed by the CPU 31 at predetermined intervals. When this process is started, it is first determined whether or not a transmission start condition is satisfied (step 1000; hereinafter, the steps are simply referred to as S). The transmission start condition in this case corresponds to, for example, whether the power use key 105 of the operation key 25 is pressed. Here, if the transmission start condition is not satisfied, the present routine is terminated once, and if the transmission start condition is satisfied, the prepaid balance PPA is stored in the prepaid balance memory 107 set in the PROM 37 next. A process of reading and substituting for the possible debit amount PPB is performed (S1010). The prepaid balance PPA stored in the prepaid money memory 107 in the PROM 37 is a value written by the PROM writing unit 49 and indicates the prepaid amount of the power fee.

  The debitable amount PPB is used as a variable for calculation processing. After setting the value of the prepaid balance PPA in the debitable amount PPB, the debitable amount PPB is output to the data input / output interface 43 (S1020). As a result, the debitable amount PPB is converted into serial data by the data input / output interface 43 and then loaded on a carrier of a predetermined frequency, and the magnetic coupling coils 41 and 19, the insertion plug 9, the outlet 103, and the indoor light wiring are sequentially arranged. 67, transmitted to the data input / output interface 85 of the outdoor control device 7 via the coupler internal line filter 69. Therefore, the debitable amount PPB sent from the power card 1 is received by the outdoor control device 7.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the withdrawal amount TTC receiving process, which is executed by the CPU 31 at predetermined intervals. When this process is started, first, a process of reading the debit amount TTC from the data input / output interface 43 is performed (S1100). The withdrawal amount TTC read from the data input / output interface 43 is sent from the outdoor control device 7 and sequentially includes the data input / output interface 85, the coupler built-in line filter 69, the indoor light wiring 67, the insertion plug 9, The data sent to the magnetic coupling coils 19 and 41 is received by the data input / output interface 43.

  After the processing of reading the withdrawn amount TTC, it is next determined whether or not the withdrawn amount TTC has been actually read from the data input / output interface 43 (S1110). , The debit amount TTC is substituted for TTB (S1120). The processing of TTC → TTB performed here is for performing the arithmetic processing after substituting the read TTC into TTB without using it as it is.

  Next, a process of subtracting the debitable amount PPB by the debit amount TTB is performed (S1130). Next, the withdrawable amount PPB after the subtraction is removed to the indoor control device 7 via the data input / output interface 43 (S1140).

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the deposit memory management process, which is executed by the CPU 31 at predetermined intervals. When this process is started, first, the prepaid balance PPA is read from the prepaid money memory 107 in the PROM 37 (S1200). Next, it is determined whether or not the difference (| PPA-PPB |) between the current deposit balance PPA read from the deposit memory 107 and the current debitable amount PPB stored in the RAM 35 is equal to or greater than a predetermined difference α. Is determined (S1210). Here, if | PPA-PPB | <α, there is little difference, so this routine is terminated once, and if | PPA-PPB | ≧ α, the next possible debit amount PPB is substituted into the prepaid balance PPA. Then, the prepaid balance PPA is written in the prepaid memory 107 (S1230), whereby the deductible amount PPB reduced by the debit amount TTC from the outdoor control device 7 is determined as described in FIG. Each time the difference α decreases, the data is written to the deposit memory 107 of the PROM 37 by the PROM writing unit 49. Accordingly, the history of the prepaid balance PPA is stored in the prepaid memory 107, and the latest PPA is taken out as the current usable amount.

Next, processing executed by the outdoor control device 7 will be described.
FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the withdrawable amount PPB receiving process, which is executed by the CPU 75 every predetermined time. When this process is started, first, the debitable amount PPB is read from the indoor operation device 5 (S1300). The deductible amount PPB to be read here has already been described in the processing of FIGS. 10 and 11.

  After the process of reading the debitable amount PPB, it is next determined whether or not it was actually read (S1310). If it was not read, that is, if it could not be received, this routine is once ended and the debitable amount PPB Is received, the next received debitable amount PPB is substituted into the debitable amount PPC for calculation in the outdoor control device 7 (S1320). Next, the debitable amount of money PPC is converted into an available power amount DDC by a predetermined arithmetic expression (S1330), and the available power amount DDC is displayed on the display 93 (S1340). Note that an arithmetic expression for converting the debitable amount PPC to the available power amount DDC is stored in the variable table 109 in the ROM 77 in advance.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the withdrawal process, which is executed by the CPU 75 every predetermined time. When this process is started, first, it is determined whether or not the payment amount SSC has become smaller than the predetermined amount β. (S1400). The payout amount SSC is an amount that is set in advance in order to cover the power usage fee. Here, if the payment amount SSC is equal to or more than the predetermined amount β, the present routine is temporarily terminated as it is. A determination is made (S1410). Here, when it is determined that the possible debit amount PPC is equal to or more than the one-time debit amount TTC, the debit amount TTC is transmitted to the indoor operation device 5 next (S1420).

  After transmitting the debit amount TTC to the indoor operation device 5, the debitable amount PPB next sent from the indoor operation device 5 is read (S1430). After reading the debitable amount PPB, it is determined whether or not the debitable amount PPB was actually read from the data input / output interface 85 (S1440), and reading from the data input / output interface 85, that is, reception was not possible. In this case, this routine is temporarily terminated as it is, and if the reception is successful, the process proceeds to the next processing.

  When the debitable amount PPB is received, it is determined whether or not the value obtained by subtracting the debit amount TTC from the debitable amount PPC and the value of the debitable amount PPB received from the indoor operation device 5 are the same ( S1450). That is, here, as a result of sending the debit amount TTC from the outdoor control device 7 to the power card 1, it is determined whether the power card 1 has actually debited the debitable amount PPB.

  If the debitable amount PPB has not been debited, the present routine is once terminated, and if debitable, the debit amount TTC is added to the payment amount SSC next (S1460). As a result, when the payment amount SSC is reduced, first, the withdrawal amount TTC is withdrawn from the power card 1, and then the payment amount SSC is added by the withdrawal amount TTC.

  After adding the payment amount SSC by the deduction amount TTC, the electromagnetic switch 65 is then turned on (S1470). As a result, if it has been “off”, the service line 63 and the indoor light wiring 67 are connected. FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the electromagnetic switch “off” process, which is executed by the CPU 75 at predetermined intervals. When this process is started, it is first determined whether or not the paid-in amount SSC is equal to or less than the value "0" (S1500). If so, the electromagnetic switch 65 is then turned "off" (S1510), and this routine is temporarily ended. That is, when the payment amount SSC is exhausted, the electromagnetic switch 65 is turned off, and the connection between the service line 63 and the indoor light wiring 67 is cut off.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the power consumption meter reading process, which is executed by the CPU 75 at predetermined intervals. When this process is started, first, whether the output pulse WHS output from the electric energy pulse output unit 61 is a value “1” or a value “0” is read from the data input interface 83 (S1600). After reading the value of the output pulse WHS, it is next determined whether or not the output pulse WHS has a value of “1” (S1610). If so, it is determined whether the value of the previous output pulse WHS was “0” (S1620). If the previous time is a value “1”, this routine is ended once. If the previous time is a value “0”, it is determined that one output pulse WHS has been output from the electric energy pulse output unit 61 and the next use is performed. The power amount WWC is calculated (S1630). The method of calculating the used power amount WWC performed here is a method of adding a predetermined used amount γ to the used power amount WWC every time one output pulse WHS is input (WWC ← WWC + γ). The value of the predetermined usage amount γ is set in advance according to the output characteristics of the power amount pulse output unit 61.

  After the calculation of the power consumption WWC, it is next determined whether or not the electromagnetic switch 65 is "ON" controlled (S1640). If not, the power switch 65 or the electromagnetic switching is performed. It is determined that the device 65 or the like is abnormal, and an abnormal alarm is displayed on the display 93 (S1650).

  On the other hand, if the electromagnetic switch 65 is “ON”, the used power amount WWC is converted to a used amount KKC (S1660). The conversion into the usage amount KKC is performed by reading the conversion value δ from the variable table 109 in the ROM 77 and multiplying the conversion value δ by the used power amount WWC (KKC ← δWWC).

  After converting the used power amount WWC into the used amount KKC, the used power amount WWC is cleared (WWC ← 0) (S1670), and the paid amount SSC is subtracted by the used amount KKC (SSC ← SSC−KKC) (S1680). ).

Thus, when the output pulse WHS is output from the electric energy pulse output unit 61, the payout amount SSC is subtracted in accordance with the output pulse WHS.
The electric power payment apparatus DPS described above uses the electric power corresponding to the prepaid balance PPA previously stored in the electric power card 1 by the indoor indoor operation device 5 and the outdoor entrance board 53 working together. can do. In addition, the electric power payment apparatus DPS may be installed with the electric power card 1 storing the prepaid balance PPA at any place in the indoor light wiring 67 after the drop-in board 53, which is extremely convenient in use. In addition, since the power card 1 can be arranged at hand, the power of the entire house can be turned on and off at any time at hand, thereby improving security and economical efficiency during absence and the like. .

  In this configuration, one outdoor control device 7 and one indoor operation device 5 are provided to cover the electric power fee. In addition, a plurality of indoor operation devices 5 The configuration may be such that the outdoor control device 7 is controlled. This is achieved by giving selectivity to data transmission between the outdoor control device 7 and the indoor operation device 5 and reducing the prepaid balance in descending order of the power card 1 based on a predetermined priority order. Is done. As a result, the power rates can be allocated from a plurality of places with the plurality of power cards 1, and the convenience is greatly improved.

  Next, a first embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, as shown below, a prepaid money adding process is executed using the power card 201 shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 instead of the power card 1 shown in FIG.

  The power card 201 shown in FIG. 17 has a configuration in which a microphone 203 and an audio input interface 205 are added to the power card 1 of FIG. 4 to input a sound signal from the outside, and an audio output interface 207 and a speaker 209. And a configuration for outputting a sound signal to the outside by the addition.

  With the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 18, the microphone 203 or the speaker 209 provided on the back surface 211 of the power card 201 faces the mouthpiece 215 or the earpiece 217 of the telephone 213, for example, as shown in FIG. As a result, transmission or reception of various signals between the power card 201 and the telephone 213 can be performed.

20 is started by the CPU 31 of the power card 201 at predetermined time intervals.
When the routine is started, it is first determined whether or not the prepaid money addition button 219 has been turned “on”, thereby determining whether or not to add a prepaid money (S1700). If it is determined that the advance payment is to be added, the ID code of the power card 201 is read from the ID code storage area 222 in the ROM 33 (S1710), and this ID code is used. A passcode is generated according to a predetermined procedure (S1720). After the passcode is generated, the procedure of the prepaid deposit adding procedure is displayed on the display 23 (S1730), and the process waits for the user to perform the processing according to the procedure displayed thereafter.

The procedure shown by the display 23 is as follows.
(I) Call the power card advance payment center by telephone.
(II) Touch back surface 211 of power card 201 to mouthpiece 215 of telephone 213 (as shown in FIG. 19).

(III) Press the first selection button 224.
(IV) After the transmission of the ID code and the pass code from the speaker 209, the response code is heard from the earpiece 217, and after the response code is recorded, the response button is pressed and the response code is input from the operation keys 25.

After displaying the procedures (I) to (IV), wait until the first selection button 224 is pressed (S1).
740), when the first selection button 224 is pressed, an ID code and a passcode are output from the speaker 209 for a predetermined time (S1750).

  After outputting the ID code and the passcode, it is determined whether or not the response button 226 has been pressed (S1760), and the output of the ID code and the passcode is repeated until the response button 226 is pressed. If the cancel button 228 is pressed, the present routine is terminated once, and the process of adding a deposit is stopped.

  If the response button 226 is pressed, a response code is input next (S1770), and it is determined whether the input response code is proper or inappropriate (S1780). This response code is generated by a predetermined procedure based on the ID code and the pass code. Therefore, the ID code and the pass code transmitted from the power card 201 to the prepaid deposit center are converted into a response code by a predetermined procedure, and when the power card 201 receives this, the input response code is appropriate. Is determined.

If the input response code is incorrect, the display prompting the user to input the response code again is displayed (S1790), and the system waits for re-input.
If the response code is appropriate, a process of actually adding the advance payment is executed (S1800 to S1830).

  That is, the prepaid balance PPA is sequentially read from the prepaid memory 107 (S1800), a predetermined additional amount RRA is added to the prepaid amount PPA (S1810), and the amount of the additional amount RRA is displayed on the display 23 (S1810). (S1820), a process of writing the prepaid balance PPA (← PPA + RRA) to which the added money RRA is added as the new prepaid balance PPA in the prepaid memory 107 in the PROM 37 (S1830).

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 21, when the ID code and the pass code are output from the power card 201 and received via the telephone line 234 such as the telephone 213 and the exchange 232, the prepaid additional center 230 receives the ID code and the pass code. After determining whether the obtained ID code and passcode are appropriate, a response code based on the ID code and the passcode is generated, transmitted to the power card 201, and transmitted to the power card 201. Perform the procedure to withdraw the deposit from the account.

Therefore, a predetermined deposit is added to the power card 201 by executing the deposit payment adding process of FIG. 20, and the added deposit is added to the account of the employee who uses the power card 201 such as a bank account. Automatically deducted from Therefore, the user of the power card 201 can add the prepaid money to the power card 201 by telephone, so that there is no need to go to a predetermined place to add the prepaid money to the power card 201. This has an extremely excellent effect that convenience is improved.

  In addition, the passcode is changed each time a deposit is added, and this is used as a key for generating a response code. Therefore, the power card 201 is completely prevented from adding the deposit by an unauthorized procedure. It has the excellent feature that it is.

Next, a modification of the first embodiment will be described.
In this modification, instead of the flowchart of the prepaid money addition routine of FIG. 20, the processing of the prepaid money automatic addition routine shown in FIG. 22 is performed.

  When the prepaid automatic addition routine is started at predetermined time intervals by the CPU 31 of the power card 201, first, it is determined whether or not the prepaid automatic addition button 236 (see FIGS. 17 and 19) has been turned on. Then, it is determined whether or not the prepaid money is automatically added (S1900). If it is determined that the prepaid money is automatically added, the ID code is sequentially read (S1910), the passcode is generated (S1920), and the procedure of the prepaid money automatic addition procedure is displayed on the display 23 (S1930). Next, the process waits for the first selection button 224 to be pressed (S1940). When the first selection button 224 is pressed, the ID code and the pass code are output from the speaker 209 for a predetermined time (S1950).

  After outputting the ID code and the passcode, it is determined whether the retransmission button 238 or the reception button 240 has been pressed (S1960). When the retransmission button 238 is pressed, a response from the prepaid deposit center 230 It is determined that there is no transmission, and the ID code, the passcode, and the retransmission code indicating retransmission are transmitted.

  When the reception button 240 is pressed, it is determined that a response code is transmitted from the deposit center 230, and a response code is received via the microphone 203 (S1970). It is determined whether the response code is appropriate or inappropriate (S1980).

  When the input response code is incorrect, the display for re-transmission is displayed on the display 23 (S1990), and the ID code, the pass code, and the re-transmission code are transmitted.

  If the response code is appropriate, as a process of actually adding the deposit, the deposit PPA is sequentially read from the deposit memory 107 (S2000), and a predetermined additional amount RRA is added to the deposit PPA. The amount of the additional payment RRA is displayed on the display 23 (S2020), and the advance payment balance PPA (← PPA + RRA) to which the additional money RRA is added is set as a new advance payment balance PPA, and the advance payment in the PROM 37 is added. A process for writing to the memory 107 is executed (S2030).

  As described above, according to the present modification, an excellent effect that the prepaid money can be automatically added to the power card 201 is exerted.

Further, the outdoor control device 274 is provided with a power supply device 97 that receives AC power from the primary side of the watt hour meter 57 and supplies DC power of a predetermined voltage to each unit.

  Next, FIGS. 25 and 26 show flowcharts of processing executed at predetermined time intervals in outdoor control device 274, and FIGS. 27 and 26 show flowcharts of processing executed at predetermined time intervals in power card 1 of indoor operation device 5. The control performed in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the power transmission determination routine shown in FIG. 25 is started by the outdoor control device 274, first, the power generation state of the wind power generator 256 is determined based on the output signal of the generator output sensor 294, and the electric energy of the watt hour meter 57 is determined. By referring to the above, it is determined whether or not the power generation amount of the wind power generation device 256 is larger than the power amount of the watt hour meter 57 by a predetermined value or more, and whether or not it is possible to transmit power to the distribution line 250 according to other conditions. Is determined (S2100).

Here, if it is determined that power transmission is possible, the next NO. 1 electromagnetic switch 65 is turned “OFF” (S2110), and then NO. (2) After the electromagnetic switch 278 is turned on (S2120), a process of turning on the power transmission signal to the orthogonal transformer 264 (S2130) is sequentially performed.

  Through these processes, the AC power output from orthogonal transformer 264 is output to distribution line 250 only through the power transmission unit. Note that the orthogonal transformer 264 outputs the NO. The AC voltage of the distribution line 250 is detected from the primary side of the electromagnetic switch 65, and the output is synchronized.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the amount of power generated by the wind power generator 256 is insufficient and power transmission is not possible, the power transmission signal to the orthogonal transformer 264 is first turned “OFF” (S2140). 2 electromagnetic switch 278 is turned off (S2150), and NO. 1) The process of turning on the electromagnetic switch 65 (S2160) is executed.

Through these processes, power transmission from the orthogonal transformer 264 to the distribution line 250 is stopped and power can be received from the distribution line 250.
When the power generation amount of the wind power generator 256 is increased and the power transmission becomes possible by the processing of the power transmission determination routine in FIG. 25 described above, power transmission from the wind power generator 256 to the distribution line 250 is executed.

  When the power transmission amount total LLC transmission processing routine shown in FIG. 26 is started in the outdoor control device 274, first, it is determined whether or not a remittance flag SD set in a process described later is set (= 1) or not (= 0). (S2200). Here, if the remittance flag SD is not set, a power amount pulse WOS reflecting the measurement value of the watt hour meter 280 is input (S2210), and it is determined whether one power amount pulse WOS has been input (S2210). S2220, S2230). When one power amount pulse WOS is input, the transmission power amount NNC, which is a value obtained by integrating the power amount k corresponding to one pulse WOS, is calculated (S2240). That is, an operation of NNC ← NNC + κ is performed. Next, the transmission power amount NNC is multiplied by a predetermined number λ (λ · NNC), and this is converted into a power transmission amount MMC (← λ · NNC) (S2250).

  After the conversion into the power transmission amount MMC, the transmission power amount NNC is cleared (← 0) (S2260), and the total power transmission amount LLC (← LLC + NNC), which is an integrated value of the power transmission amount MMC, is calculated (S2270).

  The calculation of the power transmission amount total LLC is performed until this value increases to some extent and exceeds a predetermined value μ (S2280). When the value increases, the condition for transmitting the power transmission amount total LLC to the indoor operation device 5 is satisfied. It is determined whether or not there is (S2290). This condition is determined based on whether or not a signal permitting transmission is output from the indoor operation device 5.

  If the transmission condition is not satisfied, the present routine is terminated once. If the transmission condition is satisfied, the total power transmission amount LLC is transmitted to the indoor operation device 5 via the data input / output interface 85 (S2300). Then, the remittance flag SD indicating that the total amount of power transmission amount LLC is being transmitted is set (= 1) (S2310), and the present routine is ended once.

By the above processing, the amount of money corresponding to the power transmitted from the wind power generator 256 to the distribution line 250 is transmitted to the power card 1 of the indoor operation device 5.
When this routine is started again after transmitting the power transmission amount total LLC, based on the state of the remittance flag SD (S2200), it is then transmitted from the indoor operation device 5 via the data input / output interface 85. The incoming power sale amount JJA is received (S2320). The received power sale amount JJA is compared in magnitude with the previously input power sale amount JJC (S2330), and if the previous power sale amount JJC and the current power sale amount JJA are the same or smaller, the remittance amount in the power card 1. Total L
It is determined that LC reception and processing have not been performed yet, and the above-described transmission condition determination processing and the like (S2290 to S2310) are repeated.

  On the other hand, if the power sales amount JJA received this time is larger than the previous power sales amount JJC, it is determined that the processing in the power card 1 has been properly executed, and the current power sales amount JJA is sequentially reduced in the following order. (S2340), the process of clearing the total amount of transmitted power LLC (S2350), and the process of clearing the remittance flag SD (S2360), and terminates this routine once.

  As described above, by repeatedly executing the power transmission amount total LLC transmission processing routine, the amount corresponding to the amount of power transmitted from the wind turbine generator 256 to the distribution line 250 is transmitted to the power card 1, and this transmission is performed by the power card 1. Acknowledgment has been received.

  The power transmission amount total LLC data transmitted from the outdoor control device 274 by the power transmission amount total LLC transmission process illustrated in FIG. 26 is transmitted to the indoor operation device 5 (not illustrated in FIG. 23) via the indoor light wiring 67. , Are received by the power transmission amount total LLC reception process shown in FIG.

  When the power transmission amount total LLC reception process of FIG. 27 is started at predetermined time intervals in the power card 1, first, a process of receiving the power transmission amount total LLC via the data input / output interface 43 is executed (S2400).

  Next, after adding the received power transmission amount total LLC to the power sales amount JJA indicating the total value of the power transmission amount total LLC (JJA ← JJA + LLC, S2410), the power transmission amount total LLC is cleared (S2420).

  After the power sale amount JJA is updated by the above process, the updated power sale amount JJA is transmitted to the outdoor control device 274 (S2430). Accordingly, the power selling amount JJA is received by the power transmission amount total LLC transmission process of FIG. 26, and this is used as a condition for determining that data transmission is properly performed.

  The power sale amount JJA integrated by the power transmission amount total LLC process of FIG. 27 is similarly read by the power sale memory management process shown in FIG.

  When the power sale memory management process is started, first, the power sale amount memory value JJB is input from the power sale amount memory 300 in the PROM 37 shown in FIG. 4 (S2500), and the input power sale amount memory value JJB and the figure are displayed. It is determined whether the deviation from the power selling face JJA integrated by the routine of 28 has exceeded a predetermined value ν (S2510). Here, if the deviation does not exceed the predetermined value ν, it is determined that the power transmission amount total LLC has not been transmitted from the outdoor control device 274 enough to update the power sale amount memory value JJB, and this routine is once executed. If the deviation is large, on the other hand, the power sale amount JJA is substituted for the power sale amount memory value JJB (S2520), and this is written into the power sale amount memory 300 (S2530).

  By the above processing, the price for the power transmitted from the wind turbine generator 256 to the distribution line 250 is recorded in the PROM 37 of the power card 1. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, in addition to consuming the electric power generated by the private use, the electric power can be sold and the power card 1 has an excellent effect that the usefulness of the power card 1 is improved.

Next, a third embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, when charging an electric vehicle, a special fee such as a vehicle electric consumption tax is separately collected in addition to a normal electricity usage fee.

  As shown in the overall configuration diagram of FIG. 29, in this embodiment, the charging power source of the electric vehicle 310 is the outlet 103 connected to the indoor light wiring 67. The outlet 103 is supplied with electric power by the indoor operation device 5 having the power card 1 and the outdoor control device 7.

One data input / output interface 332 is connected to a magnetic coupler 340 interposed between cables 316 that supply AC power to charging device 320. NO. The two-data input / output interface 334 is connected to a magnetic coupler 344 of a card combiner 342 provided in the driver's seat of the electric vehicle 310 as shown in FIG. The data input interface 336 is connected to an ammeter 346 for detecting a current value supplied from the charging device 320 to the vehicle-mounted storage battery 318 and a voltmeter 348 for detecting a voltage value. The switch input interface 338 is connected to a changeover switch 350 provided in the card combiner 342.

  As an output interface of the in-vehicle control device 322, a relay drive unit 352 and a power supply unit 354 are provided. Relay driving section 352 is connected to relay 356 that connects and disconnects between charging device 320 and cable 340 that supplies power to charging device 320. The power supply unit 354 is connected to three contacts 358 provided in the card coupler 342.

  As shown in FIG. 31, the card combiner 342 connected to the on-vehicle control device 322 is provided with an installation section 362 for accommodating the on-board power card 360. A contact 358 and a magnetic coupler 344 are provided at a position facing the card 360. A changeover switch 350 is provided in the vicinity of the installation section 362, and a lettering section 364 of “vehicle card” is provided on one of the changeover switches 350 and on the other changeover side. Is provided with a lettering section 366 of “external card”.

Next, FIGS. 32 to 35 show flowcharts of the processing executed by the onboard power card 360, and FIGS. 36 to 39 show the processing executed by the onboard controller 322.
FIG. 32 is a flowchart of the withdrawable amount PPB transmission process, which is executed by the CPU 31 (see FIG. 4) of the vehicle-mounted power card 360 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is started, it is first determined whether the transmission start condition is satisfied (S2600). The transmission start condition in this case corresponds to, for example, whether the power use key 105 of the operation key 25 is pressed. Here, if the transmission start condition is not satisfied, the present routine is terminated once, and if the transmission start condition is satisfied, the prepaid balance PPA is stored in the prepaid balance memory 107 set in the PROM 37 next. A process of reading and substituting for the possible debit amount PPB is performed (S2610).

  After setting the value of the prepaid balance PPA in the debitable amount PPB, the debitable amount PPB is output to the data input / output interface 43 (S2620). As a result, the debitable amount PPB is converted into serial data by the data input / output interface 43, and is then loaded on a carrier of a predetermined frequency, and is sequentially transmitted via the magnetic coupling coil 41 and the magnetic coupler 344 to the in-vehicle controller 322. NO. It is sent to the two data input / output interface 334.

  FIG. 33 is a flowchart of the withdrawal amount TTC receiving process, which is executed by the CPU 31 at predetermined intervals. When this process is started, first, a process of reading the debit amount TTC from the on-board controller 322 via the data input / output interface 43 is performed (S2630).

  After the processing of reading the withdrawn amount TTC, it is next determined whether or not the withdrawn amount TTC has been actually read from the data input / output interface 43 (S2640). , The debit amount TTC is substituted for TTB (S2650).

  Next, a process of subtracting the debitable amount PPB by the debit amount TTB is performed (S2660). Next, the withdrawable amount PPB after the subtraction is transmitted to the in-vehicle control device 322 via the data input / output interface 43 (S2670).

  Next, it is determined whether or not a tax flag FZ described later is attached to the read withdrawal amount TTC, thereby determining whether or not the withdrawal amount TTC is a tax (S2680). If it is not a tax, this routine is temporarily terminated. If it is a tax, then a settlement tax SFZ, which is an integrated value of the deducted amount TTC, is calculated (SFZ ← SFZ + TTC) (S2690), and this routine is executed. It ends once.

  FIG. 34 is a flowchart of a deposit memory management process, which is executed by the CPU 31 at predetermined intervals. When this process is started, first, the prepaid balance PPA is read from the prepaid money memory 107 in the PROM 37 (S2700). Next, it is determined whether or not the difference (| PPA-PPB |) between the current deposit balance PPA read from the deposit memory 107 and the current debitable amount PPB stored in the RAM 35 is equal to or greater than a predetermined difference α. Is determined (S2710). Here, if | PPA-PPB | <α, there is little difference, so this routine is terminated once, and if | PPA-PPB | ≧ α, the next possible debit amount PPB is substituted into the prepaid balance PPA. Then, the prepaid balance PPA is written to the prepaid memory 107 (S2730).

  As a result, each time the deductible amount PPB reduced by the withdrawal amount TTC decreases by the predetermined difference α, the PROM writing unit 49 writes the amount in the advance payment memory 107 of the PROM 37.

  FIG. 35 is a flowchart of the tax memory management process, which is executed by the CPU 31 at predetermined intervals. When this process is started, first, it is determined whether or not the accumulated tax SFZ accumulated by the withdrawal amount TTC receiving process of FIG. 33 has become larger than a predetermined value π (S2740). Is completed, and if it is larger, the tax memory amount MFZ is read from the tax memory 370 (see FIG. 4) in the PROM 37 (S2750). Next, the accumulated tax SFZ is added to the read tax memory amount MFZ (S2760), and after the added accumulated tax SFZ is cleared (S2770), the updated tax memory amount MFZ is written to the tax memory 370 (S2780). .

Thereby, the taxes are accumulated and recorded in the PROM 37, and can be read out and collected later.
Next, processing executed by the on-vehicle control device 322 will be described.

  FIG. 36 is a flowchart of the withdrawable amount PPB receiving process, which is executed by the CPU 324 at predetermined time intervals. First, the position of the changeover switch 350 attached to the card combiner 342 is read, and it is determined whether the switch is pushed to the “internal” side or the “external” side (S2800). If it is pushed to the "outside" side, it is determined that there is no processing in this routine, this routine is ended once, and it is pushed to the "internal" side. The possible amount PPB is read (S2810).

  After the process of reading the debitable amount PPB, it is next determined whether or not it was actually read (S2820). If it was not read, that is, if it could not be received, the present routine is temporarily terminated as it is and the debitable amount PPB Is received, the next received debitable amount PPB is substituted for the deductible amount PPC for calculation in the on-vehicle control device 322 (S2830). As a result, reference can be made in other processes.

  FIG. 37 is a flowchart of the withdrawal process, which is executed by the CPU 324 at predetermined intervals. When this process is started, it is first determined whether the position of the changeover switch 350 is on the “internal” side or the “external” side (S2900). Then, on the “built-in” side, next, it is determined whether or not the paid-in amount SSC has become smaller than the predetermined amount β. (S2910). The payout amount SSC is an amount that is set in advance in order to allocate the tax. Here, if the payment amount SSC is equal to or more than the predetermined amount β, the present routine is temporarily ended as it is. A determination is made (S2920). Here, if it is determined that the possible debit amount PPC is equal to or greater than the one-time debit amount TTC, the debit amount TTC with the tax flag FZ is transmitted to the vehicle-mounted power card 360 of the card combiner 342 (S2930). ).

  After transmitting the withdrawal amount TTC to the vehicle-mounted power card 360, the chargeable amount PPB transmitted from the vehicle-mounted power card 360 is read (S2940). After reading the debitable amount PPB, the actual debitable amount PPB is set to NO. It is determined whether the data could be read from the 2 data input / output interface 334 (S2950). If the data could not be received, this routine is temporarily terminated. If the data could be received, the process proceeds to the next process. I do.

  If the debitable amount PPB has been received, it is determined whether or not the value obtained by subtracting the debit amount TTC from the debitable amount PPC and the received value of the debitable amount PPB match (S2960). That is, here, as a result of sending the withdrawal amount TTC from the on-board controller 322 to the on-board power card 360, it is determined whether or not the on-board power card 360 has actually withdrawn the withdrawable amount PPB.

  If the debitable amount PPB has not been debited, the present routine is once terminated as it is, and if debitable, the debit amount TTC is added to the payment amount SSC next (S2970). Thereby, when the payment amount SSC decreases, the payment amount TTC is first deducted from the vehicle-mounted power card 360, and then the payment amount SSC is added by the deduction amount TTC.

  After adding the paid-in amount SSC by the deducted amount TTC, the relay 356 is then turned on (S2980). As a result, if it is “off”, the charging device 320 and the indoor light wiring 67 are connected.

  FIG. 38 is a flowchart of the relay "off" process, which is executed by the CPU 324 at predetermined intervals. When this process is started, first, it is determined whether the position of the changeover switch 350 is on the “built-in” side or the “external” side (S3000). It is determined that the payment amount SSC is equal to or less than the value “0” (S3100). If the paid-in amount SSC is larger than the value “0”, the present routine is terminated once. If the paid-in amount SSC is equal to or smaller than “0”, the relay 356 is turned “off” (S3110) and the present routine is terminated. That is, when the payment amount SSC runs out, the relay 356 is turned off, and the connection between the charging device 320 and the indoor light wiring 67 is cut off.

  FIG. 39 is a flowchart of the power consumption meter reading process, which is executed by the CPU 324 at predetermined intervals. When this process is started, first, the current value IV of the ammeter 346 and the voltage value VV of the voltmeter 348 at the same time are read via the data input interface 336 (S3200, S3210). Next, the instantaneous power is calculated by multiplying the product of the values IV and VV by a constant ξ (IV · VV · ξ), and the instantaneous power is integrated to calculate the used power amount WWC (← WWC + IV · VV · ξ). (S3220). If the accumulated power consumption WWC exceeds a predetermined value （(S3225), then the power consumption WWC is multiplied by a constant ο to obtain a tax amount HHC (S3230), and the power consumption WWC is cleared (S3240).

  Next, it is determined whether the position of the changeover switch 350 is on the “built-in” side or the “external” side (S3250). If it is on the “built-in” side, the payment amount SSC is reduced by the tax amount HHC next ( S3260), this routine is ended once. On the other hand, if the changeover switch 350 is on the “outside” side (S3250), the integrated tax amount GGC, which is the integrated value of the tax amount HHC, is calculated (GGC ← GGC + HHC, S3270).

As a result, when the changeover switch 350 is on the “built-in” side, the payout amount SSC, which is the control reference for “on” and “off” of the relay 356, is subtracted according to the power consumption.
As described above, according to the processing described with reference to FIGS. 32 to 39, when the changeover switch 350 is located on the “built-in” side, the prepaid balance PPA of the on-vehicle power card 360 is used as the charging power for the on-vehicle storage battery 318. When the corresponding tax amount is reduced and the prepaid balance PPA is exhausted, charging of the onboard storage battery is stopped.

Note that the fee for using the charging power for the vehicle-mounted storage battery 318 is separately settled as a normal power usage fee.
Next, an operation when the changeover switch 350 is located on the “outside” side, that is, an operation when the power card 1 provided in the indoor operation device 5 is used without using the in-vehicle power card 360 will be described. .

  When the changeover switch 350 is located on the “outside” side, the above-described withdrawal processing shown in FIG. 37 and the relay “off” processing shown in FIG. 38 perform “on” and “off” of the relay 356. Instead, the process is temporarily terminated. In the power consumption meter reading process shown in FIG. 39, an integrated tax amount GGC corresponding to the amount of power charged in the vehicle storage battery 318 is calculated (S3270).

The processing shown in FIGS. 32 to 35 is not executed because the in-vehicle power card 360 is not used here.
In the in-vehicle control device 322 in which the integrated tax amount GGC is calculated by the process of FIG. 39, when the integrated tax amount GGB transmission process shown in FIG. 40 is started at predetermined time intervals, first, the position of the changeover switch 350 is set to the “built-in” side. It is determined whether it is on the “external” side (S3300). If it is determined that it is on the “built-in” side, the present routine is temporarily terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined to be on the “outside” side, the identification number HA (described later) sent from the outdoor control device 7 of the drop-in board 53 via the indoor light wiring 67 is set to NO. One data input / output interface 332 receives the data (S3310), and then determines whether the identification number HA has been actually received (S3320).

  Here, when it is determined that the identification number HA has not been received, for example, when it is determined that the outdoor control device 7 does not have a function of handling the tax of the electric vehicle 310, the timer TI is started (S3330), and the timer TI is started. Reaches a predetermined value υ (S3340), a signal for turning off the relay 356 is output to the relay drive unit 352, and the relay 356 is actually turned off (S3350). When the timer TI is started, the accumulated tax amount GGB into which the accumulated tax amount GGC is substituted in another step of this routine and the identification number HA incremented in another step are transmitted to the outdoor control device 7, and This routine is ended once (S3360).

  The identification number HA transmitted to the outdoor control device 7 in step 3360 and returned in the meaning of confirming the reception is received. If it is determined that the identification number HA has been received (S3320), the next reception is performed. By judging whether or not the identification number HA is the same as the identification number HB transmitted when the routine was last processed, the identification number HA returned from the outdoor control device 7 is appropriate (the meaning of the appropriateness will be described later). (S3370).

If the received identification number HA is not appropriate, the processing after the start of the timer TI described above is executed (S3330 to S3360).
On the other hand, if it is determined that the identification number HA is appropriate, the timer TI is cleared (S3380), and then the accumulated tax amount GGB transmitted in step 3360 is subtracted from the current accumulated tax amount GGC, and this is recalculated. The tax amount GGC is set (S3390), and the identification number HA is incremented (S3400, S3410).

  Next, the relay 356 is turned “ON” (S3420), and then it is determined whether or not the accumulated tax amount GGC has exceeded a predetermined value ρ, thereby determining whether or not the accumulated tax amount GGC has reached the transmission standard. (S3430). This routine is temporarily terminated until the accumulated tax amount GGC reaches the transmission standard. When the accumulated tax amount reaches the transmission standard, the accumulated tax amount GGC is first substituted into the accumulated tax amount GGB for transmission (S3440), and the accumulated tax amount GGC is identified. The number HA is transmitted to the outdoor control device 7 (S3360).

  As described above, the accumulated tax amount GGB is transmitted to the outdoor control device 7 by the accumulated tax amount GGB transmission process of FIG. 40, and after confirming that the accumulated tax amount GGB has been received by the outdoor control device 7, the accumulation transmitted from the current accumulated tax amount GGC is performed. The subtraction of the tax amount GGB is executed.

  In the outdoor control device 7 that receives the accumulated tax amount GGB and the identification number HA, an accumulated tax amount GGB receiving process shown in FIG. 41 is executed at predetermined time intervals in order to receive them. When the routine is started, the outdoor controller 7 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 first receives the integrated tax amount GGB and the identification number HA via the data input / output interface 85 (S3500), and The number HA is compared with the previously received identification number HA (S3510). As a result of this comparison, if the identification number HA received this time is other than the value obtained by adding the value “1” to the identification number HA received last time, the routine is temporarily terminated as it is and the value obtained by adding the value “1” is obtained. It is determined that the accumulated tax amount GGB has been updated, and the process proceeds to the next process.

  If the accumulated tax amount GGB has been updated, then the accumulated tax amount accumulated value GFZ (← GFZ + GGB) is calculated (S3520), and the identification number HA is transmitted to the on-vehicle control device 322 (S3530).

By the processing of this routine, the integrated tax amount GGB transmitted from the on-vehicle control device 322 to the outdoor control device 7 is received, and the confirmation signal is transmitted.
The outdoor control device 7 in which the integrated tax amount integrated value GGB is stored and the indoor operation device 5 (power card 1) mutually perform the processing shown in FIGS. 10 to 15 to transmit and receive the debitable amount PPB, The transmission / reception of the withdrawal amount TTC, the supervision of the deposit memory 107, and the “ON” and “OFF” of the electromagnetic switch 65 are executed. Also, the power card 1 accumulates the accumulated tax amount SFZ calculated by the processing of FIGS. 42 to 44 described below by executing the tax memory management processing shown in FIG. Write the amount MFZ.

Next, a process of transmitting the accumulated tax SFZ from the outdoor control device 7 to the power card 1 based on the processes of FIGS. 42 to 44 will be described.
FIG. 42 is a flowchart of the power consumption meter reading and tax withdrawal processing, which is executed by the CPU 75 at predetermined intervals. In steps 3600 to 3680 in this processing routine, the same processing as in steps 1600 to 1680 in FIG. 16 described above is executed, and meter reading of the power consumption is executed. After this process, the integrated tax amount integrated value GFZ is determined by determining whether or not the integrated tax amount integrated value GFZ integrated in the integrated tax amount GGB receiving process of FIG. It is determined whether the reference value to be transmitted to the card 1 has been reached (S3690).

  When it is determined that the reference value has been reached, first, the integrated tax amount integrated value GFZ is subtracted from the paid-in amount SSC (SSC ← SSC-GFZ) (S3700), and then the integrated value of the integrated tax amount integrated value GFZ is calculated. The remittance value HFZ (← HFZ + GFZ) is calculated (S3710). After adding the accumulated tax amount accumulated value GFZ to the remittance value HFZ, the GFZ is cleared (S3720), and this routine is ended once.

  By the above processing, the payout amount SSC is subtracted according to the electric power consumption (including electric power use other than the electric vehicle 310), and the tax for charging the electric vehicle 310 is also subtracted from the paid amount SSC. Moreover, the value obtained by subtracting the tax is recorded as the remittance value HFZ.

FIG. 43 is a flowchart of the remittance value HFZ transmission process, which is started by the CPU 75 at predetermined time intervals.
When this process is started, it is first determined whether a flag FFF set or cleared in a step described later is set (= 1) or cleared (= 0) (S3800). As shown in (3), the process proceeds to the next process without performing the steps until the flag FFF is set (S3810 to 3840). If not set, the identification number HC (described later) is then input to the data input / output interface 85. , From the power card 1 (S3810), and then determines whether or not the reception was successful (S3820). When the identification number HC is received, it is determined whether or not the next received identification number HC is the same as the identification number HD transmitted to the power card 1 by the processing described later, so that the previously transmitted data is determined. It is determined whether or not it has been received by the power card 1 (S3830).

If the previously transmitted identification number HD is the same as the currently received identification number HC, the flag FFF is set (S3840).
After setting the flag FFF or when the flag FFF has already been set (S3800), it is determined whether the remittance value HFZ is larger than a predetermined value τ. It is determined whether the reference value to be transmitted to No. 1 has been reached (S3850). If the reference value has not been reached, this routine is immediately terminated. If the reference value has been reached, the identification number HC is incremented (HC ← HC + 1, S3860). The identification number HC is substituted for the identification number HD (S3870).

  After substituting the identification number HC for HD, the identification number HD and the remittance value HFZ are transmitted to the power card 1 (S3880), and the remittance value HFZ is substituted for the remittance storage value HFF (S3890) to clear the remittance value HFZ. (S3900) After clearing the flag FFF (S3910), the present routine is ended once.

  If it is determined that the identification number HC has not been received (S3820), or if the received identification number HC does not match the previously transmitted identification number HD (S3830). ), The identification number HD and the remittance storage value HFF with the remittance value HFZ are transmitted again (S3920).

As described above, the remittance value HFZ is transmitted from the outdoor control device 7 to the power card 1 by the remittance value HFZ transmission process of FIG.
FIG. 44 is a flowchart of the remittance value HFZ receiving process, which is started by the CPU 31 of the power card 1 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is started, first, the remittance value HFZ and the identification number HD sent from the outdoor control device 7 are received via the data input / output interface 43 (S4000), and then the identification number HD received this time is received. And the identification number HD received last time is compared (S4010).

  As a result of this comparison, if the current HD is other than the value obtained by adding the value “1” to the previous HD, the present routine is temporarily terminated as it is, and if the value obtained by adding the value “1”, then the remittance value HFZ Then, the integrated tax SFZ (← SFZ + HFZ), which is the integrated value of (i), is calculated (S4020). Next, the identification number HD is transmitted as the identification number HC to the outdoor control device 7 (S4030), and this routine is ended once.

Thereby, the remittance value HFZ transmitted from the outdoor control device 7 can be received, and the integrated tax SFZ, which is the integrated value, can be recorded on the power card 1.
The accumulated tax SFZ is converted into the tax memory amount MFZ by executing the above-described tax memory management process shown in FIG. 35, and is recorded in the tax memory 370.

  According to the third embodiment described above, a tax can be added to the electric power for charging the electric vehicle 310. In addition, the tax can be added to either the on-board power card 360 or the power card 1 of the indoor operation device 5. Therefore, the tax can be accurately and reliably collected with little burden on the electric power user, so that such a tax system can be smoothly applied.

  The power card 402 includes a well-known CPU 450, a ROM 452, and a RAM 454, and a PROM 458 to which data can be written by a PROM writing unit 456. The PROM writing 456 has a function of writing data to the PROM 458 based on a command from the CPU 450, or erasing or writing data in the PROM 458 based on a command from an external writing contact 460. Further, a relay drive unit 462 and a display drive unit 464 are provided as output interfaces.

  The relay driving section 462 is connected to one end 470 of a coil 468 of the relay 466, and the other end 472 of the coil 468 is connected to a first plug 474 fitted to the first connector 426.

I have. Thereby, when the coil 468 of the relay 466 is energized, the relay 466 is turned “on” and a current flows through the magnet coil 418, and the electromagnetic switch 412 is turned “on”. That is, power is supplied to the outlet 406. The display drive unit 464 is connected to the display 480, and displays various data on the display 480.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to a flowchart of a power card main routine for a power meter built-in power post shown in FIG. 47 executed by the power card 402.
In this main routine, first, it is determined whether or not the power card 402 has been inserted from the power card insertion slot 440 of the post body 404 and fitted into the power card coupling unit 424 (S4100). This is determined based on whether or not AC 100 V is supplied from the post body 404 to the power supply unit 486, and thereby determines whether or not the power card 402 has been used.

  If it is determined that the power card 402 has been inserted into the post body 404, the prepaid balance PPA is read from the prepaid money memory 490 in the PROM 458, and is substituted for the debitable amount PPB (S4110). Next, it is determined whether or not the power card 402 can be used by determining whether or not the debitable amount PPB is larger than the value “0” (S4120).

  If it is determined that the power card 402 is usable, a signal to turn on the electromagnetic switch 412 is output to the relay driving unit 462 (S4130), and the electromagnetic switch 412 is actually turned on. ”, And the power amount pulse WHS of the power amount pulse output unit 434 is input via the power amount pulse interface 482 (S4140).

  After the input of the electric energy pulse WHS, it is determined whether or not one pulse has been input to the WHS (S4150, S4160). If it is determined that one pulse has been input, the debitable amount PPB is subtracted by a predetermined value φ. (S4170) The electricity charge is reduced by the WHS "1" pulse.

  After subtracting the deductible amount PPB, the counter NN is incremented (S4180), and it is determined whether the counter NN has exceeded a predetermined value χ (S4190). When the counter NN exceeds the predetermined value χ, the counter NN is cleared. (S4200), the debitable amount PPB is written to the deposit memory 490 as the deposit balance PPA (S4210). That is, a new prepaid balance PPA is written each time the debitable amount PPB decreases by the writing reference value.

  If it is determined that no input has been made after the above-described determination of the input of the WHS "1" pulse, if it is determined that PPB has not decreased by the write reference value, or if the advance payment balance PPA is prepaid. After writing in the gold memory 490, it is first determined whether or not the power card 402 has been pulled out of the post body 404 (S4220), and if not, the processing from step 4120 is repeated. On the other hand, if it has been withdrawn, the current debitable amount PPB is written as the prepaid balance PPA in the prepaid memory 490 (S4250), then the prepaid balance PPA is displayed on the display 480 (S4260), and the beginning of the main routine is started. Return to Thus, when power is no longer used by the power card 402, the prepaid balance PPA is promptly stored in the prepaid memory 490 of the PROM 458.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of the power card main routine for the power post without a watt-hour meter shown in FIG. 50 executed by the power card 502.

  In this main routine, first, the power card 502 is inserted from the power card insertion slot 540 of the post body 504, as shown in FIG. 51, and it is determined whether or not the power card 502 has been fitted into the power card coupling unit 524 (S4300). .

  If it is determined that the power card 502 has been inserted into the post body 504, the prepaid balance PPA is read from the prepaid money memory 590 in the PROM 558, and is substituted for the debitable amount PPB (S4310). Next, it is determined whether or not the power card 402 is usable by determining whether or not the debitable amount PPB is larger than the value “0” (S4320).

  If it is determined that the power card 502 is usable, a signal to turn on the electromagnetic switch 512 is output to the relay driving unit 562 (S4330), and the electromagnetic switch 512 is actually turned on. To

  After the electromagnetic switch 512 is turned on, the voltmeter interface 582 and the ammeter interface 583 read the instantaneous voltage SJV and the instantaneous current SJI at that time (S4340, S4350). Next, the electric power SJW at that time (← SJV × SJI) is calculated (S4360), and this is integrated to determine the electric energy WWC (← WWC + SJW) (S4370).

After the calculation of the electric energy WWC, it is determined whether or not this value has become larger than a predetermined value （(S43).

Next, by subtracting the deductible amount PPB by the subtracted amount obtained by multiplying the electric energy WWC by the constant ω (S4390), the amount corresponding to the electric energy WWC is withdrawn. After the amount corresponding to the power amount WWC is deducted, the power amount WWC is cleared (S4400).

  After the deductible amount PPB is subtracted, the counter NN is incremented (S4410), and it is determined whether the counter NN has exceeded a predetermined value χ (S4420). When the counter NN exceeds the predetermined value し て, the counter NN is cleared. (S4430), the debitable amount PPB is written to the deposit memory 590 as the deposit balance PPA (S4440). That is, a new prepaid balance PPA is written each time the debitable amount PPB decreases by the writing reference value.

  If it is determined that the power amount WWC has not reached the predetermined value ψ, it is determined that the power amount WWC has not reached the predetermined value ψ. After writing the gold balance PPA in the deposit memory 590, it is first determined whether or not the power card 502 has been pulled out of the post body 504 (S4450). If not drawn, the processing from step 4300 is repeated. On the other hand, if it has been withdrawn, the current debitable amount PPB is written as the advance payment balance PPA in the advance payment memory 590 (S4460), and the advance payment balance PPA is displayed on the display 580 (S4470), and the beginning of this routine is started. Return to Thus, when power is no longer used by the power card 502, the prepaid balance PPA is promptly stored in the PROM 590.

  In the power post 500 described above, power can be supplied only by control of the power card 502 without providing the post body 504 with an electronic device and a watt-hour meter, and the number of parts of the post body 504 is reduced. This is an extremely excellent effect that reliability and cost reduction are achieved.

Next, a sixth embodiment will be described. The present embodiment shows a power post 600 in which an unauthorized use prevention function is added to the power post 400 shown in FIG.
The power post 600 includes a power card 602 and a post body 604.

One end of the coil 612 of the relay 606 is connected to one end 420 of the magnet coil 418, and the other end is connected to the second connector 430 via a relay driving unit 614 described later. The watt-hour meter 414 is provided with a power amount pulse output unit 434 whose contact 432 is turned “on” and “off” based on the amount of used electric power, and the third connector 436 of the power card coupling unit 424 is provided at one end thereof. It is connected. A fourth connector 448 is connected to a secondary side of the contact 610 of the electromagnetic switch 412.

The post body 604 is provided with a well-known CPU 616, ROM 618, RAM 620, a power amount pulse interface 622, and a check signal interface 624 as circuits for controlling the relay drive unit 614. The power pulse interface 622 is connected to the power pulse output unit 434. The check signal interface 624 is connected to the fifth connector 626 of the power card coupling unit 424.

  The check signal output interface 628 outputs the prepaid balance PPA to the check signal interface 624 via the fifth plug 630 by a check signal output routine (not shown).

Next, the present embodiment will be described based on a flowchart of a check signal receiving process shown in FIG. 53 which is repeatedly executed by the CPU 616 of the post body 604.
When the check signal receiving process is started, first, a prepaid balance PPA to be input to the check signal interface 624 as a check signal is input from the power card 602 (S4500). Next, the input prepaid balance PPA is substituted into the check balance CHK for determination (S4510).

  After obtaining the check balance CHK, the power amount pulse WHS output from the power amount pulse output unit 434 is input via the power amount pulse interface 622 (S4520), and this pulse WHS is output as “one pulse”. It is determined (S4530, S4540).

    If it is determined that “one pulse” has been output, the number of check pulses CHW for counting the number of pulses is incremented (S4550), and it is determined whether or not a predetermined value A has been exceeded (S4560). It is determined whether or not the pulse number CHW has reached a criterion.

  If the wound is judged that the number of check pulses CHW has reached the criterion, the CHW is first cleared (S4570), and the check balance CHL when the previous CHW reached the criterion and the current check balance CHK are compared. The check balance difference △ CHK is obtained (S4580), and the present check balance CHK is substituted for the previous check balance CHL for the next time (S4590), and it is determined whether the check balance difference △ CHK is larger than the predetermined value B. (S4600).

If the check balance difference ΔCHK is larger than the predetermined value B, it is determined that the power card 602 is properly used and operating, and the processing of steps 4500 to 4600 is repeated again.
On the other hand, when the check balance difference ΔCHK is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value B, it is determined that the use state of the power card 602 may be incorrect, and the counter CHN is first incremented (S4610), and then the counter CHN Is determined to be greater than a predetermined value Г (S4620). Until the counter CHN becomes larger than the predetermined value Г, the above processing is repeated and when the value becomes larger, it is determined that unauthorized use is actually performed, and the relay 606 is turned off for a predetermined time. That is, when it is determined that there is unauthorized use, the electromagnetic switch 412 is turned off for a predetermined time so that power is not applied to the outlet 406.

  In the present embodiment described above, it is possible to judge and prevent improper use of the power post 600 due to the reduced state of the prepaid balance PPA of the power card 602. Therefore, the effect of preventing unauthorized use becomes extremely high.

  After obtaining the check balance CHK, the current value IS output from the ammeter 705 is input via the ammeter interface 722 (S4720), and the integrated value CIV (← CIV + IV) of the current value IS is calculated (S4720). S4730). Next, it is determined whether or not the predetermined value E has been exceeded (S4740). It is determined whether or not the integrated value CIV of the current value has reached a criterion.

When it is determined that the integrated value CIV has reached the criterion, the CIV is first cleared (S4750), and then the check balance between the check balance CHL when the previous CIV reached the criterion and the current check balance CHK. The difference ΔCHK is obtained (S4760), and the present check balance CHK is substituted for the previous check balance CHL for the next time (S4770), and it is determined whether the check balance difference ΔCHK is larger than a predetermined value B (S4770). S4780).

If the check balance difference ΔCHK is larger than the predetermined value B, it is determined that the power card 702 is properly used and operating, and the processes of steps 4700 to 4780 are repeated again.
On the other hand, if the check balance difference △ CHK is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value B, it is determined that the use state of the power card 702 may be incorrect, and the counter CHN is first incremented (S4790), and then the counter CHN Is greater than or equal to a predetermined value Γ (S4800). Until the counter CHN becomes larger than the predetermined value Γ, the above processing is repeated as it is. When the counter CHN becomes larger, it is determined that unauthorized use is actually being performed, and the relay 706 is turned “off” for a predetermined time. That is, when it is determined that there is unauthorized use, the electromagnetic switch 512 is turned off for a predetermined time so that power is not applied between the outlet 506 or the third connector 534 and the fourth connector 536. To

  According to the present embodiment described above, it is possible to judge and prevent improper use of the power post 700 due to the reduced state of the prepaid balance PPA of the power card 702. Therefore, the effect of preventing unauthorized use becomes extremely high. In addition, the number of times and the time of use of the post body 704 can be known using the measurement value and the like of the counter 715, and the use state of the facility can be easily grasped.

NO. A rotation transmitting device 814 for transmitting the rotation of the meter 812 as it is or for not transmitting the rotation is attached to the one integrating meter 812. The rotation transmission device 814 transmits rotation when a current flows through the coil 816, and the rotation transmission device 814 includes NO. It is attached to a two-integration meter 818. Thus, by energizing the coil 816, the NO. 1 integrating meter 812 and NO. When the two-integration meter 818 rotates in synchronization with the current, and when the current supply to the coil 816 is stopped, NO. Only one integrating meter 812 rotates.
