Description

  The present invention relates to a fuel supply apparatus, and more particularly to a self-service fuel supply apparatus in which a customer (driver) himself performs a fuel supply operation to a fuel tank (supplied body) of a vehicle.

  For example, a fuel supply system that supplies an oil liquid such as gasoline or light oil to a fuel tank of a vehicle will be described below as an example.

  At a liquid supply station or the like where a self-service fuel supply device is installed, the customer (driver) himself sets the liquid supply amount, performs the liquid supply work, and settles the liquid supply fee. Therefore, after the customer (driver) specifies the method for paying the liquid supply fee, the customer (driver) inputs the predetermined oil type, the liquid supply amount, the liquid supply amount, etc. by operating the switch on the setting device before supplying the liquid. It has become. As a liquidation fee settlement method, there are a method of paying with cash, a method of paying with a prepaid card or a credit card, and the like.

  In the self-service fuel supply apparatus, for example, in the case of cash payment, when a banknote is deposited in a cash dispenser, a provisional slip on which a deposit amount and a slip number (bar code) are printed is issued. When the customer (driver) receives the provisional slip, the customer moves the vehicle to the front of the vacant weighing machine. Subsequently, the provisional slip is inserted into a bar code reader provided in the weighing machine to read the slip number (bar code).

  Next, the customer (driver) presses various operation buttons of the setting device to set the liquid supply method (preset liquid supply or full tank liquid supply), oil type, liquid supply amount or liquid supply amount. When the liquid supply is started, the liquid supply amount is measured by the flow meter, and the numerical value displayed on the flow rate display is updated.

  When the liquid supply to the vehicle is completed in this way, the customer (driver) moves in front of the change machine with a provisional slip when there is change. Then, the provisional slip is inserted into the bar code reader of the change machine, and the slip number (bar code) is read. The change machine reads change information corresponding to the slip number from the POS body and discharges the change. Thereafter, the change machine issues a slip (receipt) on which the liquid supply amount and the liquid supply amount are printed from the printer (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  However, the conventional fuel supply apparatus configured as described above receives two slips, a provisional slip issued before liquid supply and a slip issued after liquid supply. If it sees, the problem of annoying will arise.

Therefore, when a depositing machine and a slip issuing machine are installed in the fuel supply device, and a banknote is deposited, a deposit receipt with the deposited amount written is issued, and information corresponding to the supplied amount (the amount supplied, amount, A method for issuing a slip printed with a change amount) is being developed. In this method, and when there is change, the change machine is caused to read a slip on which change information is written, and the change is received. In addition, the slip is printed on the slip sheet wound in a roll shape, so the slip is discharged from the slip discharge port of the slip issuing machine while printing, and when printing is completed, the print area is exposed from the slip discharge port. Paper feeding operation is performed until Thereafter, the customer himself / herself receives the slip discharged from the slip discharge port from the slip discharge port.
JP-A-4-57794

  However, in the conventional fuel supply apparatus configured as described above, for example, when the customer who supplied the liquid returns without taking the slip and the next customer deposits the bill, the slip is discharged. Since the next deposit and receipt will be issued following the previous deposit and receipt discharged from the exit, the customer who will supply the next liquid will receive the previous deposit and receipt and this deposit. The customer received the certificate and the receipt, and the customer had to determine which deposit was received corresponding to the receipt issued after the end of the liquid supply.

  In addition, when banknotes are deposited, it is being considered to issue a slip with the deposit amount printed as a deposit receipt. However, if a deposit receipt is issued after depositing and a receipt is issued after the end of liquid supply, If the certificate and the receipt are cut separately, the number of slips received by the customer increases, which is troublesome.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a fuel supply device that solves the above-described problems.

  The invention described in claim 1 is a bill insertion means for inserting money, a fuel supply means for supplying fuel to the supply object, and the slip while pulling out the slip sheet wound in a roll shape. A slip issuing machine that creates and issues a slip by printing on a sheet, and a cutting means that is provided at a slip discharge port of the slip issuing machine and has a cutter that extends in a direction orthogonal to the delivery direction of the slip And a fuel supply control means for controlling the amount of fuel supplied from the fuel supply means to the supplied body based on the amount of money inserted by the money insertion means, and a slip issue from the slip issuing machine is controlled. A slip issuing control means, wherein the slip issuing control means causes the slip issuing machine to issue a deposit indicating that the money has been deposited at the stage where the insertion of money is confirmed by the money insertion means, When the fuel supply by the fuel supply means is completed, a receipt printed with information on the supplied fuel is issued, and when the receipt is issued, the cutter of the cutting means is operated to The receipt discharged from the slip discharge port is cut from the slip sheet.

  The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that the slip issuing control means determines whether or not to issue the slip according to the presence or absence of fuel supply by the fuel supply means after issuing the deposit receipt. When the determination means determines that the slip is not issued, the cutter of the cutting means is operated to cut the deposit discharged from the slip discharge port from the slip sheet.

  According to the present invention, at the stage where the insertion of money is confirmed by the money insertion means, a receipt indicating that the money has been deposited is issued from the slip issuing machine, and the fuel supply by the fuel supply means is completed. In order to issue the receipt from the slip issuing machine and operate the cutter of the cutting means to cut the receipt discharged from the slip outlet from the slip sheet, the customer's receipt and receipt are integrated. The received one slip is received, and the troublesomeness of receiving the two slips of the receipt and the receipt as in the prior art can be eliminated.

  Further, when the customer returns the liquid supply nozzle 60 to the nozzle hook 62 without operating the liquid supply after depositing, the receipt 90 is cut in a state where only the deposit area 90B is printed.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view illustrating a configuration example of the receipt issuing unit 56.
As shown in FIG. 7, the receipt issuing unit 56 includes a slip sheet 100 wound in a roll shape, a pair of rotating rollers 102 that send the slip sheet 100 in the X direction, and a printer that performs printing on the slip sheet 100. 80 has a print head 104, a cutter 106 of a receipt cutter unit 83 extending in the Y direction perpendicular to the delivery direction of the slip sheet 100, and a slip discharge port 108 for discharging the printed receipt 90.

  The print head 104 is composed of, for example, a thermal transfer type head, and is configured to perform printing in synchronization with the feeding speed of the slip sheet 100 by the rotating roller 102. The cutter 106 of the receipt cutter unit 83 is provided so as to cut the slip sheet 100 by being driven from a standby position to a cutting position by a driving source such as a motor or a solenoid.

  Here, a control process executed by the control circuit 66 of the fuel supply device 16 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the control circuit 66 checks in step S <b> 11 (hereinafter, “step” is omitted) whether or not a bill has been inserted into the automatic payment machine 28. If a banknote is inserted in the automatic payment machine 28 in S11, it will progress to S12, and the classification (amount) of the inserted banknote will be discriminated by the banknote discrimination part 76, As a result, a deposit amount will be displayed on the touch panel 49 (FIG. 4). reference).

  In the next S13, liquid supply information such as the selected oil type, liquid supply amount (full tank supply liquid or preset liquid supply) or liquid supply amount (amount preset with a deposit amount as an upper limit) is displayed on the touch panel 49. Set. Subsequently, it is checked whether or not the confirmation button 88 displayed on the touch panel 49 is turned on.

  When the customer confirms the liquid supply information displayed on the touch panel 49 and the confirmation button 88 is turned on, the process proceeds to S15, and the deposit area 90B (bar code 90m, deposit amount 90n) is transferred from the printer 80 to the slip sheet 100. Is issued as a receipt.

  Subsequently, the process proceeds to S16, and it is checked whether the nozzle switch 74 provided on the nozzle hook 62 is off. If the nozzle switch 74 remains on in S16, it is determined that the liquid supply operation is not performed while the liquid supply nozzle 60 remains on the nozzle hook 62, and the process proceeds to S17.

  In S17, it is confirmed whether or not a cancel button (not shown) is turned on. If the cancel button (not shown) is not turned on in S17, the process returns to S16, and it is checked whether the nozzle switch 74 provided on the nozzle hook 62 is off. If a cancel button (not shown) is turned on in S17, the process proceeds to S18, where the cutter 106 (see FIG. 7) of the receipt cutter unit 83 is driven to the cutting position and the receipt 90 is cut. Accordingly, the customer can receive the receipt 90 discharged from the slip discharge port 108. In this case, since only the receipt area 90B (bar code 90m, deposit amount 90n) is printed on the receipt 90, the customer reimburses the amount deposited by having the change machine 14 read the receipt 90. Can receive.

  In S16, when the nozzle switch 74 is turned off, it is determined that the liquid supply nozzle 60 is removed from the nozzle hook 62 and inserted into the liquid supply port of the vehicle (not shown), and the process proceeds to S19. In S19, a liquid supply request signal is output to the POS main body 20.

  Subsequently, in S20, it is checked whether or not a liquid supply permission signal is input from the POS body 20. In S20, when a staff member turns on a liquid supply permission button (not shown) for the fuel supply device 16 and inputs a liquid supply permission signal from the POS main body 20, the process proceeds to S21, and the electromagnetic valve 68 is opened. At the same time, a drive signal is output to the liquid supply pump 70.

  When a customer (driver) operates a nozzle lever (not shown) of the liquid supply nozzle 60 to the valve open position, liquid supply to the fuel tank of the vehicle is started. When the flow meter 72 of the fuel supply device 16 outputs a flow rate pulse corresponding to the liquid supply amount, the flow rate pulse is integrated to calculate an integrated flow rate (liquid supply amount). The liquid amount and the liquid type unit price are displayed on the touch panel 49 (see FIG. 5).

  In next S23, it is confirmed whether or not the liquid supply amount (including the consumption tax) has reached the deposit amount. If the liquid supply amount (including the consumption tax) has not reached the deposit amount in S23, the process proceeds to S24, and it is checked whether the nozzle switch 74 provided on the nozzle hook 62 is on. In S24, when the nozzle switch 74 is turned on, it is determined that the liquid supply nozzle 60 is returned to the nozzle hook 62 and liquid supply to the vehicle (not shown) is completed, and the process proceeds to S25 shown in FIG. Alternatively, when the liquid supply amount (including the consumption tax) reaches the deposit amount in S23, it is determined that the amount preset has been completed, and the process proceeds to S25.

  In S25, the output of the drive signal output to the liquid supply pump 70 is stopped. Subsequently, in S26, the deposit amount and actual liquid supply data (including the liquid supply amount, the liquid supply amount, and the consumption tax) are output to the change machine 14. In the next S27, it is checked whether or not a change amount and a slip number are input from the POS body 20.

  In S27, when the change amount and the slip number are input from the POS body 20, the process proceeds to S28, and the deposit amount, the liquid supply amount, and the change amount are displayed on the touch panel 49 (see FIG. 5). In this way, during the liquid supply, since the deposit amount, the liquid supply amount, and the change amount are displayed on the touch panel 49, the presence or absence of change can be confirmed on the spot, and the inconvenience of not receiving change even though there is change is eliminated. It becomes possible.

  Subsequently, in S29, it is checked whether or not the confirmation button 88 displayed on the touch panel 49 is turned on. In S29, when the confirmation button 88 displayed on the touch panel 49 is turned on, the process proceeds to S30, and all liquid supply information is output to the change machine 14 and the POS main body 20.

  Thereafter, in S31, the deposit area 90B is printed by the printer 82 of the receipt issuing unit 56, and the actual liquid supply information (at least unit price, liquid supply amount, liquid supply amount, consumption tax), slip number, and the like are stored in the slip area 90A. A receipt (receipt) 90 is issued (see FIG. 6), in which a slip area 90A and a deposit area 90B are continuously formed. In next S32, it is confirmed whether or not the printing of the receipt 90 has been completed. If the printing has been completed, the process proceeds to S33, and the cutter 106 (see FIG. 7) of the receipt cutter unit 83 is driven to the cutting position. The receipt 90 is cut. Accordingly, the customer can receive the receipt 90 discharged from the slip discharge port 108. In the next S34, the liquid supply information displayed on the touch panel 49 is deleted.

  Accordingly, the customer can receive one receipt 90 on which the slip area 90A and the deposit area 90B are discharged from the slip discharge port 108. Therefore, it is possible to save the customer's troubles compared to receiving two receipts in which the slip area 90A and the deposit area 90B are separately printed.

Here, a control process executed by the POS main body 20 will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 10, the POS main body 20 checks whether or not the deposit amount data is input from the automatic payment machine 28 in S41. If the deposit amount data is input in S41, the process proceeds to S42, and it is checked whether or not the actual supply liquid data is input from the fuel supply device 16. If the deposit amount and the actual liquid supply data are not input in S42, the process proceeds to S42, and it is checked whether or not a slip number is input.

  If the slip number is not input in S43, the process proceeds to S44 to check whether the change has been paid. If the change has not been paid in S44, the process proceeds to S45 to check whether or not a liquid supply request signal has been input. If the liquid supply request signal is not input in S44, the process proceeds to S43, and it is checked whether or not a liquid supply permission instruction is input. In S43, when the instruction for permitting liquid supply is not input, the process returns to S41.

  In S42, when actual liquid supply data is input, the process proceeds to S46 and the change amount is calculated. Then, it progresses to S47 and memorize | stores the liquid supply information containing a change amount and a slip number in the memory | storage device 22. FIG. In next S 48, the change amount and the slip number are output to the fuel supply device 16.

  If the slip number is input in S43, the process proceeds to S49 to check whether or not the change has been paid. If the change is not paid in S49, the process proceeds to S50, and the change corresponding to the slip number is output to the fuel supply device 16. In S39, when the change has been paid, the process of S50 is omitted.

  If the change has been paid in S44, the process proceeds to S51, and the change corresponding to the slip number is stored in the storage device 22 as paid.

  In S45, when a liquid supply request signal is input, the process proceeds to S52, and the liquid supply waiting is displayed. In S53, when a liquid supply permission instruction is input, the process proceeds to S54, and a liquid supply permission signal is output to the fuel supply device 16. Then, it progresses to S55 and erases the liquid supply waiting display. This completes the processing of the POS main unit 20.

Here, the control process which the change machine 14 performs is demonstrated with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 11, when the receipt 90 is inserted into a bar code reader (not shown) of the change machine 14, whether or not the change machine 14 has read the bar code 90n printed on the receipt 90 in S61. Check. In S61, when the barcode 90n pattern is read, the slip number corresponding to the barcode 90n pattern is output to the POS body 20.

  In the next S63, it is checked whether or not a change amount corresponding to the slip number has been input from the POS body 20. When the change amount is input in S63, the process proceeds to S64 and the change is discharged. Subsequently, the process proceeds to S 65, and the change paid for the slip number is output to the POS body 20.

  Thus, the customer (driver) can receive change by inserting the receipt 90 issued by the fuel supply device 16 into the bar code reader (not shown) of the change machine 14 after the liquid supply is completed. it can.

  In the above-described embodiment, the configuration using the touch panel including the liquid crystal monitor as the setting device has been described as an example. However, the configuration is not limited thereto, and for example, a configuration using another type of setting device may be used.

  Moreover, although the structure attached to the ground installation type weighing machine was mentioned as an example, it is needless to say that it is applicable not only to this but also to a suspended liquid supply apparatus.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where an oil liquid such as gasoline or light oil is supplied to the fuel tank of the vehicle is taken as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and fuel other than the oil liquid (for example, consumed by a fuel cell vehicle) Of course, the present invention can also be applied to a system that supplies hydrogen or other gas consumed as fuel in an LPG vehicle, a CNG vehicle, or the like.
