Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a self-fueling system for permitting refueling to a self-service weighing machine that is refilled by a customer by remote control.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, at a gas station where a self-service weighing machine is installed, when a customer's automobile arrives for refueling, the driver himself installs a fuel nozzle of the oil type according to the engine specifications on the fuel tank. The fuel tank is refueled with the oil liquid inserted into the mouth and stored in the underground tank.
[0003]
Each weighing machine is managed by the POS system, and when a refueling permission signal is output from the POS terminal, refueling is possible. Therefore, when the driver inputs oil data such as the type of oil to be supplied, the amount of oil supplied, the payment method, etc. before refueling, the staff at the filling station confirms these input data and outputs a refueling permission signal.
Then, when a refueling permission signal is output from the POS terminal and refueling at that refueling point becomes possible, the driver removes the refueling nozzle of the oil type to be refueled and inserts it into the refueling port of the vehicle. Start refueling. The driver who has finished self-service refueling pays a refueling fee at the checkout office of the office and leaves the service station.
[0004]
In addition, in a gas station where self-service refueling is performed, a receiving unit that receives a signal transmitted from a wireless remote controller is provided. For example, a refueling permission signal is transmitted from the remote controller or an operation such as initial setting is performed. Development is progressing so that it can be done. In this case, since the staff at the filling station can leave the office with the remote controller, it is possible to transmit a filling permission signal while monitoring the state of the filling area.
[0005]
In addition, in the case of island self-refueling system, the refueling fee is not cleared in the office, so there is no need for staff to be in the office, so carry a remote controller and look around the refueling area of the gas station. Can do.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in a gas station where a plurality of measuring machines are installed, if there is a request for refueling from one metering machine, the staff carrying the remote controller must be able to use each measuring machine installed in the gas station. I don't know what the condition is like. For this reason, it is necessary to check the status of the weighing machine for which a refueling permission is requested, but the status of each weighing machine cannot be confirmed until it is close to each weighing machine. There is a problem that service is degraded.
[0007]
Then, this invention aims at providing the self-oil supply system which solved the said subject.

[0030]
Here, an operation procedure of self-service refueling in the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining a refueling procedure between devices when performing self-service refueling.
As shown in FIG. 8, the customer (driver) who arrives at the gas station moves to an empty fuel point among the fuel points No. 1 to No. 8 in (Operation 10). Then, the vehicle is stopped at an empty fueling point. In the next (operation 11), the oil supply conditions such as the oil type to be supplied, the amount supplied, and the payment method are set using the setting unit 25 of the self-service unit 18 installed at the oil supply point.
[0031]
In the next (operation 12), after the setting is completed, the customer himself removes the fuel nozzle 27 from the weighing machine 17, and inserts the discharge pipe of the fuel nozzle 27 into the fuel filler port of the vehicle. In (Operation 13), the refueling is finished and the refueling nozzle 27 is returned to the weighing machine 17.
In addition, the customer takes the provisional slip issued from the printer 26 in (operation 14), goes to the checkout office, and pays the fuel charge. In (operation 15), the customer leaves the gas station.
[0032]
The self-service unit 18 executes the following processing in conjunction with the above-mentioned customers (operations 10 to 15).
That is, when the customer enters the refueling point, the self-service unit 18 enters a standby mode waiting for setting start in step S11 (hereinafter, “step” is omitted). This may be provided with a certain vehicle detection device in the weighing machine 17 and the self-service unit 18 may receive the signal, but may wait for setting when the previously refueled vehicle leaves the refueling point.
[0033]
When the customer finishes the setting operation, the set value is transmitted to the gas station control device 13 in S12.
The printer 26 receives a print command from the gas station control device 13 in S13, and issues a provisional slip on which a slip number and the like are printed according to the set format.
Moreover, the gas station control apparatus 13 performs the following processes in conjunction with the operations (operations 10 to 15) of the customer. In other words, when various settings are transmitted from the setting unit 25 of the self-service unit 18 in S14, the filling station control device 13 displays the setting information on the display device 46 and the weighing machine 17 as status information. The status transmission device 41 transmits to the remote controller 32.
[0034]
In the next S15, when the end of refueling and the amount of refueling are transmitted from the meter 17, the total amount is calculated, and the end of refueling is transmitted from the weigher state transmitter 41 to the remote controller 32 as state information.
In S16, the amount, slip number, etc. are transmitted to the printer, and printing is instructed. In next S17, when the refueling fee is settled in the operation 14, the completion of the refueling fee is registered, and the completion of the refueling is transmitted from the measuring device state transmitting device 41 to the remote controller 32 as state information.
[0035]
Further, in conjunction with the processing (S14 to S17) of the gas station control device 13, the remote controller 32 is subjected to the following display processing and operation.
In S18, when the status information of the weighing machine 17 transmitted from the weighing machine status transmission device 41 is received, the weighing machine number set on the liquid crystal panel 32c of the remote controller 32 and “waiting for refueling” are displayed. When “Waiting for refueling” is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 32c, it is displayed in red so that the staff at the filling station can easily identify, and other messages are displayed in blue. And the alarm for alert | reporting that the status information of the weighing machine 17 was received from the speaker 32d of the remote controller 32 is emitted. Thus, the staff at the gas station can recognize that new status information has been received without looking at the liquid crystal panel 32c, and can prevent operation delay.
[0036]
In S <b> 19, when the permission button of the remote controller 32 is turned on, a refueling permission signal is transmitted from the transmitter 66 to the weighing machine 17.
In S20, when the end of refueling is transmitted from the weighing machine state transmitter 41, the weighing machine number set on the liquid crystal panel 32c of the remote controller 32 and "end of refueling" are displayed.
[0037]
In the next S21, when the payment completion is transmitted from the weighing machine state transmission device 41, the weighing machine number set on the liquid crystal panel 32c of the remote controller 32 and “end of payment” are displayed. Thus, by looking at the status information displayed on the liquid crystal panel 32c of the remote controller 32, the status of each of the plurality of measuring machines 17 installed in the gas station can be confirmed on the spot. Therefore, the staff at the gas station can immediately confirm the state of the measuring machine 17 that has been requested for the fueling permission and transmit the fueling permission.
[0038]
In addition, even when a plurality of measuring machines 17 are in a state of waiting for refueling permission, it is possible to immediately check the state of the measuring machine 17 and give a refueling permission, thereby preventing a customer from waiting. Even when a plurality of measuring machines 17 are installed, by confirming the state information displayed on the liquid crystal panel 32c, it is possible to prevent erroneous operation without giving a fueling permission to the other measuring machines 17.
[0039]
On the other hand, when the weighing machine 17 receives the refueling permission signal from the remote controller 32, the refueling process is performed. That is, when refueling permission is lowered from the filling station control device 13 in S22, refueling starts from waiting for refueling permission.
Next, in S23, when the customer starts refueling, the pump is operated and fuel is refueled from the fuel nozzle 27 to the fuel tank of the vehicle.
[0040]
In next S 24, when the customer finishes refueling, the pump is stopped, and the end of refueling and the amount of refueling are transmitted to the filling station control device 13.
When refueling is completed, the customer displays refueling data such as a refueling point number or weighing machine number, additional number (slip number), date and time, oil type, refueling amount, refueling amount, etc. from the printer 26 of the self-service unit 18. Take a temporary voucher and move it to the checkout in the office. This completes the operation procedure when performing self-service refueling.
[0041]
The setting contents input by the setting unit 25 of the self-service unit 18 are simultaneously displayed on the display device 46 of the gas station control device 13. For this reason, the staff at the gas station uses the display device 46 of the gas station control device 13 installed in the office of the gas station, so that each meter 17₁~ 17_nThe presence or absence of the setting and the setting contents can be confirmed.
The gas station staff receives a provisional slip from the gas customer, selects the data corresponding to the contents from the screen displayed on the display device 46 of the gas station control device 13, and performs an adjustment operation by the input device 47. Do. Thus, the refueling data is transmitted from the filling station control device 13 to the POS terminal 15. As a result, a slip is issued from a printer (not shown) of the POS terminal 15, and the slip is delivered to the customer in exchange for the fueling fee.
[0042]
Here, a modified example of the present invention will be described.
As a first modification, the receiving unit 33₁~ 33_nMay not be connected only to the weighing machine 17 but may be configured to be directly connected to the fuel supply control device 13.
In this case, the remote controller 32 can be operated at all positions within the filling station or at a specific position regardless of the position of the weighing machine 17. In the above case, the receiving unit 33₁~ 33_nThe number of can be one or more regardless of the number of weighing machines 17.
[0043]
As a second modification, the remote controller 32 is simply provided with a liquid crystal panel 32c, and a refueling permission button is provided on the weighing machine 17. Then, an attendant at the filling station moves to the place of the measuring machine 17 that requests the permission for refueling by holding the remote controller 32 and confirms the set contents, and then turns on a refueling permission button provided on the measuring machine 17. .
[0044]
In this case, the remote controller 32 always transmits an authentication signal (for example, a signal of a specific frequency), and the weighing machine 17 side receives this authentication signal and the refueling permission button is turned on. Refueling is possible when operated.
In addition, by making the transmission level or the reception level of the authentication signal relatively small, it becomes possible to refuel only when a staff member having the remote controller 32 operates the refueling permission button. Therefore, even if a person who does not have the remote controller 32 operates the refueling permission button, the refueling pump does not start, and illegal refueling and mischief can be prevented. Moreover, even when a plurality of measuring machines are installed, it is possible to prevent erroneous operation without giving permission for refueling to other measuring machines.
[0045]
As a third modification, the operation buttons of the remote controller 32 are only three buttons, that is, a permission button, a stop button, and an all stop button, and the reception area of the transmission signal from the remote controller 32 is narrowed. In this case, the operation of designating the number of the weighing machine becomes unnecessary, the number of operation buttons is reduced, the operation is simplified, and an erroneous operation can be prevented without giving a fueling permission to other weighing machines.
[0046]
As a fourth modification, the remote controller 32 can receive an image of each fueling point imaged by the monitoring camera 19 and project the designated one fueling point on the liquid crystal panel 32c. In this case, the person in charge at the gas station can check the state of the weighing machine 17 that has been requested to refuel, from the image displayed on the liquid crystal panel 32c. As a result, at a gas station where multiple measuring machines are installed, it is possible to immediately check the status of the measuring machine and give permission for refueling even if multiple sites are waiting for a fueling permission at the same time. I can not.
[0047]
Further, as a fifth modified example, the remote controller 32 is a contact type instead of a wireless type, and the remote controller 32 is brought into direct contact with the weighing machine 17, and the operation switch button 61 of the remote controller 32 in this state.₁~ 61_nRefueling permission can be given by operating. In this case, since an instruction can be given only to the weighing machine 17 that is in contact with the remote controller 32, an erroneous operation can be prevented without giving a fueling permission to other weighing machines.
[0048]
In the above-described embodiment, the ground-installed type oil supply device has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
