Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a refueling device installed at a refueling station for refueling automobiles or the like with oil such as gasoline.

[Conventional technology]

Among such refueling devices, the ground-fixing type, in which a refueling machine case is erected on the ground, is used to display the type of oil handled by the refueling device and other information so that it can be easily viewed by refueling customers and workers at refueling stations. That is, there is one in which an indicator is provided on the upper portion of the case of the refueling machine, which is located at the height of the line of sight of refueling customers.

Then, as an example of such an oil supply device, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-3949
There is one shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 8 which is provided with a display case directly on the upper part of the refueling machine case or via a column.In the example where the display case is directly installed on the upper surface of the refueling machine case, The display case has an explosion-proof structure when the lighting equipment is installed inside. Further, in an example in which the display case is provided via a support, the display case does not necessarily have to have an explosion-proof structure, but in such a case, the height of the support needs to be 60 cm or more.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

Therefore, in the type in which the indicator case has the explosion-proof structure, the structure is complicated and the manufacturing cost is high. Further, in the case of a type through a strut, if the height of the strut is 60 cm or more, the inconvenience is solved, but the indicator case is located far above the refueling machine case, and the position of the line of sight of the refueling customer or worker There will be an indicator case on the upper side. For this reason, at normal eye level, if you stand near the refueling machine case, the display surface does not get into your eyes and you must consciously turn your face upward to see the display surface, which may be difficult to see. .

The present invention eliminates the inconvenience of the conventional example, and can be positioned on both sides of the front and back of the refueling machine case at a height that makes it easy to see the display section. It is an object of the present invention to provide an oil supply device that can be made easier to see by separately irradiating, and that the lighting device does not need to have an explosion-proof structure and can be manufactured at a simple structure at low cost.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a thin plate-shaped display plate on the upper surface of the fueling machine case, which is erected so that the display surfaces face the front and back sides of the fueling machine case, respectively, and 60 cm from the upper surface of the fueling machine case. At a height above the above, and a supporting column for supporting the lighting device is erected so that the lighting device is located above the display plate, and the lighting device is supported by the supporting column. The gist is that two light sources are provided to illuminate each display surface.

[Action]

According to the present invention, by providing the display plate directly on the upper portion of the fueler case, it is possible to position the display plate at a height at which the line of sight is easy to see. By providing it on both sides of the back, it can be seen well from the driver's seat of the car stopped on either side of the refueling machine case, and the lighting equipment that illuminates this display plate is separated from the display plate,
In addition, since the display surface is easier to see because it is provided separately for each display surface, and the lighting fixture is located at a height of 60 cm or more above the display plate, it can be a non-explosion proof structure. it can.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of an oil supply apparatus of the present invention, in which 1 indicates an oil supply case, and the oil supply case 1 communicates with an underground tank inside similarly to the conventional case. An oil supply mechanism such as an oil supply pump connected to the oil supply pipe and a flow meter equipped with a flow rate pulse transmitter is provided. The oil supply hose 2 connected to the oil supply pipe is hung on both outer sides of the case 1 and the tip of the oil supply hose 2 is suspended. A refueling nozzle 3 is attached to the upper part of the case 1, and a refueling amount indicator 4 for displaying the refueling amount and the refueling amount is provided on the upper front part of the case 1.

In the present invention, the thin display plate 5 is directly erected on the upper surface of the refueling machine case 1 so that the display surfaces 5a and 5b on both sides face the front and back sides of the refueling machine case 1, respectively. On the surfaces 5a and 5b, the oil type name 6 of the gasoline handled by the refueling device is described, for example, "regular" or "high-octane".

Then, the pillars 7a for supporting the illuminators 7 are arranged on the display plate 5 so that the illuminators 7 are located above the display plate 5 and at a height of 60 cm or more from the upper surface of the fueler case 1 and the top face of the fueler case 1 is arranged. It was erected from. In this case, the illuminator 7 is positioned at a height of 60 cm or more from the upper surface of the refueling machine case 1, so that the illuminator 7 need not have an explosion-proof structure.

As the illuminator 7, as shown in the figure, two light sources are used.
The light sources are separately provided so as to illuminate the display surfaces 5a and 5b separately.

In this way, when the lighting device 7 is energized, the display plate 5 is illuminated brightly from above, so that the oil type name 6 on the display surfaces 5a and 5b can be clearly read. Further, the display plate 5 is provided directly on the upper surface of the refueling case 1, and since this height is almost the same as the line of sight of the refueling customer or worker, the display surfaces 5a and 5b are naturally visible and easy to see. is there.

In the first embodiment, the means for irradiating the display plate 5 is as follows.
The display plate 5 is illuminated from above only by the illuminator 7 arranged above it.
As shown in the figure, the reflecting mirrors 8a and 8b are positioned diagonally upward so that the reflecting surfaces face the display surfaces 5a and 5b, respectively, in front of and behind the display board 5, and the upper surface of the case 1 is inclined to the base of the display board 5. It is also possible to set up.

In this case, the heights of the reflecting mirrors 8a and 8b are set to be low so that the oil type name 6 on the display surfaces 5a and 5b cannot be read by being blocked by the reflecting mirrors 8a and 8b.

In this way, in the second embodiment, by providing the reflecting mirrors 8a and 8b, the display surfaces 5a and 5b are not only directly illuminated by the light rays emitted from the upper illuminator 7 standing on the display plate 5, but also Since a part of the light beam is reflected by the reflecting mirrors 8a and 8b, the reflected light is emitted from below. Therefore, the display plate 5 is illuminated from both the upper side and the lower side, and the display surfaces 5a and 5b are brighter and easier to see than in the first embodiment.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, the refueling device of the present invention can be directly provided on the top surface of the refueling machine case, which is a height at which the display plate can be easily seen, without making the lighting device an explosion-proof structure, and thus the structure is simple and inexpensive to manufacture. It is possible.

Further, since the display surfaces are provided so as to face the front side and the back side of the refueling machine case, and each display surface is individually provided with an illuminator to illuminate the display surface, it is possible to make each display surface easier to see. Is.
