Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a filling station that supplies oil such as gasoline to automobiles and the like.

[Conventional technology]

As is well known, such a gas station is a place where a fueling device is installed to refuel automobiles with gasoline, etc. At a gas station, as shown in Figure 1, a canopy that covers the area 1 of the gas station is installed as a fueling device. 2 has a winding motor and a hose winding reel inside, and the reel has a refueling nozzle 3 at its tip.
A suspended type hose processing device 5 in which a refueling hose 4 having a refueling hose 4 having a refueling hose 4 is freely wound and freely wound is suspended, and refueling mechanisms such as a refueling pump and a refueling motor are stored in a machine room separately provided on the premises 1. There are places where things are set up.

Since such a fueling station does not require the installation of a fixed fueling device on the ground, there are no obstacles on the ground, and as a result, cars can freely drive and stop anywhere within the filling station premises 1 for refueling. This allows effective use of site 1.

However, on the other hand, when the parking spot is not clear or when many cars enter and exit the premises at the same time, cars become a hindrance to each other's movement, causing congestion and reducing refueling efficiency. invite.

Therefore, conventionally, as shown in, for example, JP-A-61-175149, JP-A-61-75109, etc., vehicle guiding members made of belt-shaped members or the like are arranged on the ground surface of site 1 to guide the advance and retreat of vehicles. There is one that forms a road and also forms a refueling area display.

Incidentally, in addition to refueling automobiles with gasoline, such service stations also perform cleaning tasks such as cleaning the ashtrays inside the automobiles and wiping the windows of the automobiles during the waiting period during refueling.

On the other hand, gasoline is sold not only by cash but also by card, and in some cases, the amount of fuel to be supplied is preset. A data output device is installed outside a building 6 such as an office to enable processing near the refueling site and to improve the efficiency of refueling work.

The service unit equipped with the service equipment and the refueling data input/output device will be installed in the building 6, so as not to lose the advantage of the suspended refueling system that there are no structures erected on the ground within the site 1. It was installed on the dog run around the area.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] When refueling is performed using a refueling nozzle at the end of a refueling hose suspended from a hose processing device, the position of the refueling nozzle should be arranged at appropriate intervals near the center of the site. However, since the refueling data input/output device and service equipment are installed adjacent to a building built at the edge of the site, the location of the refueling nozzle and the refueling data input/output device and service equipment may differ. The location is far away. As a result, it becomes necessary to go back and forth between the refueling nozzle and the refueling data input/output device or the service equipment before, during or after refueling, and the round trip takes time and is not very efficient.

On the other hand, the car guidance member installed in the center of the site only has the function of guiding the car to the stopping position for refueling and displaying the stopping position, and is not used for refueling work near the refueling point in the center of the site or processing refueling data. Effective use of convenient work space was not made.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the conventional example, and to enable the refueling data input/output device to be installed near the refueling point without interfering with the running of the vehicle, to improve refueling work efficiency, and to improve the refueling data input/output device on the refueling station site. The objective is to provide a refueling station that can make effective use of fuel.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention incorporates automobile service equipment such as a refueling data input/output device and an ashtray cleaner in a refueling station equipped with a suspended refueling device that suspends a plurality of hose processing devices from a canopy above the site. The gist of this invention is that a horizontally long case with a large structure is erected, and the traveling guide of the automobile is formed by the horizontally long case.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, the refueling data input/output device and the service equipment are installed near the hose processing device suspended from the canopy, so the refueling data input/output device and the service equipment can be installed near the refueling point. Refueling data processing and service work can be performed near the refueling location. When installed in a non-hazardous location, safety can be ensured even if the refueling data input/output device and the like are of non-explosion proof construction. Since the case in which the refueling data input/output device and the service equipment are incorporated is formed in a horizontally elongated manner, the case can be used as a travel guide by positioning the case along the travel line of the vehicle.
