Abstract

For example, there is provided a built-in amount measuring instrument having a simple structure capable of almost accurately measuring the remaining amount of liquor in a liquor bottle from the outside and improving inventory efficiency.
A built-in quantity measuring instrument (1), which is an elongated rod, has a scale line (3) corresponding to the remaining amount of the container on the front and back surfaces thereof. By disposing the built-in amount measuring tool along the longitudinal direction outside the sake bottle 2, the remaining amount can be measured almost accurately and easily.

Description

  For example, the present invention can easily measure the remaining amount of liquor, soy sauce, vinegar, etc. stored in the canteen, restaurant, bar, snack, etc., and ensure the accuracy of stocktaking. It relates to a quantity measuring device.

For example, in restaurants, snacks, and the like, sake, soy sauce, vinegar, and the like, unlike beer, juice, and the like, are stored with a residual amount and are often used for later use. On the other hand, inventory is regularly performed in restaurants and the like. In this case, it is necessary to accurately know the remaining amount of the drinks that need to be stored. However, in general restaurants and the like, the amount is visually perceptible, and the accurate remaining amount cannot be measured. On the other hand, there are various conventional means for measuring or detecting the remaining amount of liquid in a container, for example, "Patent Literature 1", "Patent Literature 2", and "Patent Literature 3".

  The "remaining amount detecting device" of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-262990 of "Patent Document 1" is to detect a remaining amount by putting a pair of electrodes in a tank and measuring a difference between the electrodes. Further, the "liquid amount indicating device" of Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-19921 of "Patent Document 2" uses a float to detect the position of the float using a laser beam. The "drink holder" of JP-A-2003-72449 of "Patent Document 3" is a device in which a spring-like measuring tool is arranged outside a container, and the remaining amount is measured by the amount of extension.

  All of the above-mentioned known techniques are technically advanced, and those other than "Patent Document 3" need to put a measuring member in a container, which is unsuitable for drinks. “Patent Document 3” measures the remaining amount in a container from the outside, but has a complicated device structure and is not suitable for general drink shops and restaurants. Therefore, there is a demand for a measuring instrument capable of measuring the remaining amount of the drink in the container from the outside by extremely simple means.

  The present invention has been devised based on the above-mentioned request, and can relatively accurately measure the remaining amount of drinks and the like stored in a bottle of a certain size (one bottle). It is an object of the present invention to provide a built-in quantity measuring instrument having a simple structure capable of measuring the quantity in a short time and increasing the efficiency of the inventory.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a simple built-in measuring device for measuring the built-in amount of a transparent or translucent bottle-shaped container containing a liquid. The quantity measuring tool is composed of a rod longer than the total height of the pin-shaped container, and a metric and / or metric scale line corresponding to the built-in amount of the bottle-shaped container is engraved on the rod. It is characterized by the following.

  According to the built-in amount measuring device of the present invention, the measuring device is disposed close to the container along the longitudinal direction, so that the remaining amount can be easily measured. Although there are various types of containers, the built-in amount measuring instrument may be pre-marked with a scale line according to the shape of the container. In particular, as for sake, soy sauce, vinegar and the like, the form of the bottle is constant, and it is easy to determine the remaining amount of all the sake and the like with one measuring tool.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the built-in amount measuring tool of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The built-in quantity measuring instrument of the present invention comprises, for example, an elongated rod 1 like a ruler as shown in FIG. A scale line 3 is engraved on the front surface and / or the back surface of the rod 1 as shown. That is, a scale line 3 corresponding to one liquor is engraved at the top, and a scale line 3 corresponding to 9, 9, 8,. The shape of the liquor bottle 2 is constant up to the point where the graduation lines 3 are formed at substantially equal intervals, but the graduation lines 3 from 7 to one square change the shape of the liquor bottle 2 gradually. Therefore, they are formed at irregular intervals. In the new case, one bottle is always filled in the sake bottle 12, and the scale line 3 that is equal to or larger than the scale line 3 of one square is unnecessary. The scale line 3 is engraved on the front and back of the built-in quantity measuring instrument, and a unit of the engraving is a meter or a degree unit as appropriate.

  Next, a method of using the built-in amount measuring tool will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 1, a built-in amount measuring tool is set up on the side surface of the sake bottle 2 along the longitudinal direction thereof. By visually reading the scale line 3 of the built-in amount measuring tool at a position corresponding to the remaining amount in the liquor bottle 2, the remaining amount can be measured almost accurately.

  FIG. 2 shows a state at the time of stocktaking. A large number of sake bottles (six sake bottles 2 in the figure) are arranged, and the remaining amount is measured by engaging a built-in amount measuring tool with each of the sake bottles 2. In the figure, the first is measured 9, the second is 5, the third is 6, the fourth is 9, the fifth is 2, and the sixth is 1, and the total is 32. Is measured. Since the built-in amount of the six sake bottles 2 at the time of brand-new operation is 60 sets, the remaining amount is about 53%, so that the remaining amount can be measured almost accurately.

  In the above embodiment, the built-in amount measuring tool and the measuring method for the liquor bottle 2 have been described, but the present invention is similarly applied to containers of other fixed sizes.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be conveniently used in a drink shop that needs to measure the remaining amount of drink, and can be used for simple remaining amount measurement of liquid instead of drink, and the use range is extremely wide. In addition, by using wood or plastic as the material of the built-in amount measuring tool, the weight can be reduced, and the handleability can be improved. Of course, it can be manufactured at low cost.

The front view (a) which shows the built-in amount measuring tool of this invention, and the container which measures the remaining amount by a built-in amount measuring tool, and the sectional view on the AA line of the built-in amount measuring tool (b). FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a stocktaking state using the built-in quantity measuring device of the present invention.
