[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic weighing apparatus such as an electronic counter for measuring the total weight of articles and calculating and displaying the number of articles based on the total weight and the unit weight.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The applicant of the present invention has previously integrated an electronic weighing apparatus and a rotating rack in which articles are stored. The electronic weighing apparatus controls the rotating rack. We have proposed an inventory management device that performs a loading / unloading operation, inventory management, and the like (for example, see the specification and drawings attached to the respective applications of Japanese Patent Application Nos. 1-2225548 and 1-284629).

[0003] This inventory management device includes, in addition to a rotating rack and an electronic weighing device, first storage means for storing work reservation data including an article number, which is identification data of an article, and the number of articles or the number of articles received. Second storage means for storing storage position data (shelf number) indicating the storage position of the article in the rotating rack corresponding to the article number and the current stock quantity.

[0004] Then, when the operator collectively inputs the work reservation data in advance and makes a reservation for entry / exit, and then instructs the start of the entry / exit work, the order of the reserved and sorted article numbers corresponds to these article numbers. The shelf number and the number of warehouses or the number of warehouses are read out and displayed on a display unit, and the rotating rack is driven based on the shelf number so that warehouse and warehouse work can be performed.

Further, recently, a plurality of the inventory management devices described above are connected in a chain and connected to a parent machine or a computer for management, and the above-described operations are performed from the parent machine or the computer via the parent machine. There is an inventory management system configured to send reservation data. Then, the worker of each electronic weighing device performs a leaving work based on the work reservation data received by each electronic weighing device. In this unloading operation, the number of parts specified by the operation reservation data is extracted from the storage position of the rotating rack by the specified number.
There is a next outgoing work and a second outgoing work that sorts out the taken out parts by destination.

[0006]

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional inventory management system in which a plurality of inventory management devices are connected in a chain, work reservation data of the same destination manages parts to be delivered. It is appropriately distributed to the electronic weighing device of the inventory management device, and is processed in each of the electronic weighing devices.

Similarly, the work reservation data distributed to the inventory management device b is the company A has 10 items. , 100 items of company B, 1 item of company C, and work reservation data distributed to the inventory management device c are 100 items of company A, 1 item of company B,
Assume that the item is company C 10 items.

[0008] When the stocking operation is started simultaneously in each of the stock management devices a to c, the stock management device a immediately completes the first stocking operation for the company A,
Shift to the primary shipping work for the company. Further, in the inventory management device b, after the primary delivery work for the company A takes some time, the process shifts to the primary delivery work for the company B, but this process requires a considerable amount of time. Further, in the inventory management device c, after a considerable amount of time is required for the primary dispatch operation for the company A, the primary dispatch operation for the company B is immediately terminated, and the process shifts to the primary dispatch operation for the company C. Therefore, at the time when the primary outgoing work for Company A is completed in the inventory management device c, the primary outgoing work for Company C has already been performed in the inventory management device a, and in the inventory management device b, The primary outgoing work for Company B is being performed.

[0009] Therefore, in this type of conventional system, after the primary delivery operation is completed, the secondary delivery operation must be performed again, which is very inefficient and is liable to cause a work error. there were.

In this embodiment, the slave unit management unit 3 of the master 2
The CPU26 is not only work reservation data from the management device 1, is also transmitted component data of the parts being work reservation, it is configured to temporarily store the work reservation buffer RAM 30, the electronic scale 4 ₁ ~4 _n does not have a component data file to RAM33.

In this embodiment, each electronic balance 4
_As shown in FIG. 7, ₁ to 4 _n correspond to the latest 10 items in order each time the work reservation data (including the component data) transmitted from the slave unit management unit 3 via the signal line 5 _b is received. Have a work reservation data buffer E stored in a first-in first-out manner. Then, CPU 31 of the electronic balance 4 ₁ to 4 _n, as in the flowchart shown in FIG. 8, each of the work reservation data buffer E to determine whether there are empty (step SA1), if there is an empty the requests work reservation data to the child machine managing unit 3 of the master 2 via the signal line 5 _b (step SA2).

Next, the CPU 31 of each of the electronic balances 4 ₁ to 4 _n
From the slave unit management unit 3 when receiving the work reservation data sent through the signal line 5 _b, as in the flowchart shown in FIG. 9, the work reservation data latest 10 item content in the order each time receiving the Only the work reservation data is stored in the work reservation data buffer E in a first-in first-out manner (step SB1).

Next, the CPU 31 of each of the electronic balances 4 ₁ to 4 _n when carrying out the unloading operation in each of the stock management devices 10 ₁ to 10 _n .
Will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. After setting the operation mode of the electronic balance 4 to the unloading operation mode, the operator operates the operation unit 19 by, for example, [NEX
T] key, the CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step SC1 in FIG. 10 and reads out the work reservation data from the work reservation data buffer E shown in FIG.
Proceed to C2.

In step SC2, it is determined whether there is work reservation data. If the result of this determination is "NO", a series of operations ends. Meanwhile, step SC2
Is "YES", that is, if there is work reservation data, the process proceeds to step SC3. At step SC3, it is determined whether or not the read work reservation data is the lot end data D. The result of this determination is “N
In the case of "O", the process proceeds to Step SC4. Step SC
In step 4, based on the read work reservation data (including the part data), the part code, the product name, the unit weight, the designated number, and the like are displayed on the dot display 20, and then the process proceeds to step SC5.

At step SC5, the following retrieval work is performed. (1) The CPU 31 rotates the shelf 12 of the rotating rack 9 based on the shelf number data of the read work reservation data,
The take-out position is indicated by the indicator light 13. (2) The worker starts the tray 1 from the place where the indicator light 13 is turned on.
Pull out one. (3) The worker takes out the parts from the tray 11 and
A process of placing parts on the scale 17, the second scale 18, or the third scale 16 and confirming the number of parts is performed.
Repeat until the number becomes the same as the indicated number. (4) The operator operates the operation unit 19 of the electronic balance 4 by, for example,
[*] Pressing the key to print the goods issue slip at the printing unit 36, along with issues, and transmits the actual data via the signal line 5 _b to the child device management unit 3 of the master 2. Thereby, the CPU 26 of the slave unit management unit 3 of the master 2 updates the total data of the corresponding part code in the part data buffer of the RAM 30. (5) The operator returns the tray 11 to its original position. (6) The operator presses, for example, the [NEXT] key of the operation unit 19 of the electronic balance 4 to read the next work reservation data. Thereby, the CPU 31 determines in step S
Returning to C1, the above-described processing is repeated.

On the other hand, if the decision result in the step SC3 is "YES", that is, if the read work reservation data is the lot end data D, the step SC3 is executed.
Proceed to 6. In step SC6, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, the fact that the lot is completed is displayed on the dot display 20. In this case, the lot name is input by the operator operating the keyboard 7 of the management device 1 when the work reservation data is created. Then, the CPU 31 proceeds to step SC7.

In step SC7, it is determined whether or not a shipping destination label is to be printed. This decision is made by the operator
The determination is made based on , for example, whether the [*] key of the operation unit 19 of the scale 4 is pressed. If the result of this determination is "NO",
It returns to step SC1. On the other hand, if the operator presses, for example, the [*] key of the operation unit 19 of the electronic balance 4 and the result of determination in step SC7 is “YES”, the flow proceeds to step SC8. In step SC8,
For example, after a shipping destination label as shown in FIG. 12 is printed and issued by the printing unit 36, the process returns to step SC1.

Thus, at the point in time when the unloading work of the shipping destination is completed, the worker collects the parts that have been unloaded so far and stores them in the common storage box for the shipping destination. Therefore, at this point, the secondary outgoing work is completed, so that work efficiency is improved. In this case, if the shipping destination label printed and issued in the process of step SC8 described above is attached to the storage box, all the inventory management devices 10 can determine whether or not the delivery operation of the shipping destination has been completed. However, in this case, it is necessary to issue the above-mentioned shipping destination label even in the inventory management apparatus 10 to which the work reservation data of the shipping destination has not been supplied.

[0041] In the embodiment described above, the management device 1, an example that is connected on-line via the signal line 5 _a and 5 _b the master 2 and the electronic balance 4 ₂ to 4 _n,
The management device 1 and the master 2 may be off-line, and data exchange may be performed via the FD. Also, in the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the management device 1 and the master 2 have different functions. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the master 2 has the same function as the management device 1. You may comprise so that it may have.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, only the management device 1 has the component data file, and the component data is transmitted from the management device 1 to the master 2 in addition to the work reservation data. is not limited to, the master 2 or at least one of the electronic balance 4 ₂ to 4 _n may be configured to include a component data file. In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the operator operates the operation unit 1 of the electronic balance 4.
If the work reservation data is the lot end data when the [NEXT] key of No. 9 is depressed, the dot display 2 indicates that the lot is finished in the processing of step SC6.
Although the example in which the number is displayed as 0 has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a delivery slip is printed and issued in the process of step SC5, if the next work reservation data includes lot end data, the lot is ended. Dot display 20
May be displayed. Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example of the display indicating that the lot is completed is shown in FIG.
FIG. 12 shows an example of the shipping destination label, but it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to this. In short,
Any display and print can be used as long as the operator can determine the division of the lot (destination). Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the storage device for the components connected to the electronic scale 4 is the rotary rack 9 is shown, but the storage device is not limited to this, and the shelf does not move and the shelf is not moved. It may be an automatic warehouse that automatically takes out the trays inside, carries them into a predetermined work place, and automatically stores the processed trays in shelves.

[0043]

As described above, according to the present invention,
When each electronic weigher finishes the unloading process of the last part of the same destination, a message to that effect is displayed or printed. By collectively storing them in the common storage box for the destination, the sorting of the destination is completed at the time when the unloading work by each electronic balance is completed. In this way, the secondary delivery operation of sorting out the taken out parts by destination can be performed while performing the primary delivery operation of taking out the parts from the shelf of the storage device such as the rotating rack, so that the delivery work is made more efficient. Also,
Since the end of the retrieval work of the last part of the same destination is notified by a display or the like, the operator of each electronic scale does not need to carry out the retrieval work while paying attention to this, and the burden on the worker is small. .
