Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an automobile service device installed at a filling station for refilling automobiles with oil such as gasoline.

[Conventional technology]

In addition to refueling cars with gasoline, these service stations also perform service duties such as cleaning the ashtrays inside cars and wiping the windows while waiting for refueling.
Gasoline is sold by card in addition to cash, and an outdoor refueling data input/output device equipped with a card reader and numeric keypad is installed near the refueling machine.

By the way, as a device that can perform operations such as loading and unloading tools necessary for such service work and inputting and outputting fueling data in one place, improving work efficiency and making effective use of installation space, The applicant previously proposed a service device for an automobile as shown in, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 63-22757.

A cabinet case is formed at the bottom of a display column installed on an island that displays oil type, etc., and automotive service equipment such as service tools and outdoor refueling data input/output devices are stored inside this case. The service equipment consists of an ashtray cleaner, a suction cup filled with water, a trash can, a rag container, a towel storage box, a shelf for storing and displaying oil cans and other car supplies, and a cash box. There is.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Service work on automobiles must be performed using the service tools provided as described above, and the types of service work to be performed are limited by the service tools provided. Conventionally, the only equipment needed to clean the inside of a car is an ashtray cleaner, a vacuum cleaner, a trash can, etc., so it is difficult to clean the ashtray inside the car or clean up the garbage scattered inside the car. Even if they could, they couldn't do anything else, such as eliminate the smell inside the car. The inside of a car is a particularly narrow space that is often kept closed for hours on end, so odors such as cigarette smoke often get trapped inside, causing discomfort to the driver and passengers. There are cases.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the conventional example, and to make it possible to perform service work on cars, such as cleaning ashtrays, and also deodorizing the inside of the car, thereby making service work more fulfilling. The object of the present invention is to provide an automobile service device that can further improve service.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an in-vehicle deodorizer attached to a case housing service tools such as an ashtray cleaner and automotive service equipment such as an outdoor refueling data input/output device. This is a summary of what was done.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, while refueling a car, in addition to cleaning the ashtray inside the car, it is also possible to eliminate odors inside the car using a deodorizer, thereby improving service to refueling customers.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the automobile service device of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of a deodorizer, which is the main part of the same.The overall configuration of the automobile service device is the same as the conventional one; 3rd year middle school
shows a display column that has a horizontally long display case 3a at the top with an oil type display 4 such as "regular" or "super", and is erected on the island 2 by an anchor bolt,
The lower part of the display column 3 has a depth and width that does not protrude from the display column 3, and is formed into a vertically long cabinet case l with a height of about 160 as. Automotive service equipment consisting of a refueling data input/output device 5 and various service tools is housed.

The outdoor refueling data input/output device 5 is built into the upper part of the cabinet case 1 for easy operation, and includes a display device 6, an operation board 7 with a numeric keypad and other switch operators, a printer 8, and a card reader 9, and is connected to a refueling data input/output device (POS) installed in a gas station office or the like.

The service tools include an ashtray cleaner 10 below the outdoor refueling data input/output device 5, a suction container 11 filled with water, a trash can 12 with an opening 12a on the top surface, a rag container 13 with an opening 13a on the top surface, and a towel. 14 storage boxes etc. are provided.

In the figure, 15 indicates a shelf for storing and displaying oil cans and other car accessories, and 16 indicates a cash box.

In the present invention, a deodorizer 17 is provided below the porcelain 15 in the automobile service device configured as described above. This deodorizer 17 has a pressurized cylinder 18a filled with a deodorant shown in FIG. A hose 20 having a nozzle 19 at the tip is suspended outside the cabinet case l.The hose 20 is branched into three parts, and each branch pipe is connected to an electromagnetic on-off valve 21a.

The pressurized cylinder 18 a + via 21b and 21c

18c, and these electromagnetic on-off valves 21a.

Selection switches 22 a + 22 b and 22 c provided on the outside of the cabinet case l are connected to 21 b and 21 C.

- selection switches 22a to 22c are configured to output a valve opening signal for a certain period of time, for example, 10 seconds, when turned on.

In the figure, reference numeral 23 denotes a refueling machine, which is erected on the same island 2 on which the display column 3 in which the cabinet case 1 is housed is erected, in line with the display column 3.

Next, usage and operation will be explained.

When a car to be refueled stops near the refueling machine 23, the refueling station worker reads the customer's card with the card reader 9 as necessary, and also reads various cards on the operation board 7. Perform human power such as customer code with key.

During refueling, the ashtray inside the car is taken out, the ashtray is disposed of in the ashtray container 11, and the ashtray is cleaned with ashtray cleaner lO.
