Is output.
[0012]
Next, a display operation and a display example by the display control device 22 will be specifically described. 3 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the RH refueling control device according to the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the light oil refueling control device according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a display control device according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the guidance display by the display of the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the display of the single refueling by the display of the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a display of the simultaneous refueling by the display of the example, and FIG. 9 is a view showing a display of the amount of refueling of the simultaneous refueling by the display of the embodiment of the present invention.
[0013]
First, as shown in FIG. 3, in the RH refueling control device 23, the refueling start signal of regular gasoline is input to start refueling of regular gasoline, or the refueling start signal of high octane gasoline is input to input high octane. When gasoline refueling is started (ST1, ST2), a regular gasoline display signal or a high octane gasoline display signal is output to the display controller 25 (ST3, ST4), and a predetermined display is performed. Next, after the refueling is completed (ST5), another vehicle comes and refueling of regular gasoline is started before a predetermined time of about 30 seconds elapses (ST6), or refueling of high-octane gasoline. Is started (ST7, ST8), the respective display signals are output to the display controller 25. However, if the next refueling operation is not performed before a certain time has elapsed, the display signals are stopped ( ST9) and return to the initial state.
[0014]
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, in the light oil refueling control device 24, when the light oil refueling start signal is input and the refueling of light oil is started (ST11), a light oil display signal is output to the display control device 25. (ST12) A predetermined display is performed. Next, when another vehicle comes and the refueling of the light oil is started (ST15) before the fixed time elapses (ST14) after the refueling is completed (ST13), the light oil display signal is displayed on the display controller 25. However, if the next refueling operation is not performed before the predetermined time elapses, the display signal stops (ST16) and returns to the initial state.
[0015]
Next, as shown in FIG. 5, in the display control device 25, when no display signal is input from the RH refueling control device 23 and the light oil refueling control device 24 in a state where refueling is not performed, information storage is performed. The guidance information and the advertisement information read from the device 26 are displayed on the display 21. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a guidance display such as "Hello!" Next, when any one of the refueling starts and a display signal is input (ST22), the display 21 is in the first display state, and the refueling data is largely displayed on the entire display screen (ST23). For example, when only regular gasoline is refueled, as shown in FIG. 7, “34.56 L” of the refueling amount, “regular full” and the like are displayed on the entire display screen of the display 21. In the case of a color display, the display is displayed in different colors depending on the type of oil. Next, when regular gasoline or high-octane gasoline and light oil are supplied simultaneously and display signals are input from both (ST24), the display 21 is in the second display state, and the display screen is equally divided into right and left or up and down. The refueling data is displayed in different colors (ST26). For example, when high-octane gasoline and light oil are supplied at the same time in the left-right split, as shown in FIG. 8, the high-octane gasoline refueling data “23.45L” is displayed in red on the left side of the display screen and the oil The seed information is scroll-displayed, and on the right side, blue light oil refueling data “78.90L” is displayed, and the oil type information is scroll-displayed thereunder. Also, for example, when regular gasoline and light oil are simultaneously refueled and refueling is completed, as shown in FIG. 9, the refueling amount including tax is "2708 yen" in the upper left portion of the display screen, and the refueling amount is "25.03 L" in the center. ”And the refueling amount before tax“ 2629 yen ”, oil type information and unit price information are scroll-displayed below the refueling amount, the refueling amount including tax“ 2675 yen ”on the upper right side of the display screen, and the refueling amount“ 37. 10L ", the refueling amount before tax including" 2579 yen ", and oil type information and unit price information are scroll-displayed below. Then, when the refueling is completed and neither of the display signals is input (ST25), the display 21 returns to the initial information display state again (ST21). Further, in the state of simultaneous refueling (ST25, ST26), when one refueling is completed (ST22), the first display state is set, and the refueling data of the oil type being refueled is displayed on the entire display screen.
[0016]
In the display of the lubricating apparatus having the above-described configuration, in the suspension type lubricating apparatus in which a plurality of lubricating hoses 12 provided with the lubricating nozzles 13 at the tips from the hose processing case 11 above the island are suspended, only one lubricating nozzle is used for lubricating. When refueling is performed, one refueling data is displayed large on the entire display screen of the display unit 21. When refueling is performed simultaneously from two or more refueling nozzles, two or more refueling data to be refueled are divided into right and left of the display screen. The simultaneous display makes it possible to simultaneously display refueling data of two oil types on one display unit 21, eliminating the need to provide a display for each oil type, reducing equipment costs, and providing different colors for different oil types. The display is easy to see and attracts attention. Furthermore, other than during refueling, it has various display functions such as being able to be used as a guidance display, so that various information can be displayed, and there is an advantage that it is easy to cope with future self-refueling.
[0017]
In the above embodiment, the case where high-octane gasoline or regular gasoline and light oil are supplied at the same time has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to these oil types or the combination of simultaneous supply.
[0018]
Also, the oil supply device provided with the elevating switch 14 has been described as an example. However, an oil supply unit is erected on the island, a nozzle hook and a nozzle hook switch are provided on the oil supply unit, and a nozzle hook switch is provided on the nozzle hook switch. It is also possible to provide an output means for outputting a refueling start signal to the RH refueling control device 35 or the light oil refueling control device 36 when is removed from the nozzle hook, and outputting a refueling end signal when the nozzle is hooked.
[0019]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the display of the suspension-type refueling device of the present invention, when refueling is performed with only one refueling nozzle, one refueling data is largely displayed on the entire display screen in the same manner as a normal display. When two or more refueling nozzles are refueled at the same time, two or more refueling data to be refueled are divided and displayed in the left-right or up-down direction on the display screen. Furthermore, in the case of color display, the display is color-coded, so that the display of refueling data of two or more oil types can be easily viewed simultaneously on one display, and the attention-grabbing display increases the ability to attract customers and reduces equipment costs. Can be planned.
