It has been incorporated into the following.

[0004] At a gas station where such a refueling device D is installed, a worker at the gas station installs the refueling device D outside a building such as an office, even when there are no refueling customers, so that he or she can immediately deal with refueling customers. The pilot is waiting standing near the island 1 between the refueling machine 2 and the service unit 7. If there is a refueling customer, the customer immediately inserts the card in his possession into the card reader 8, removes the refueling nozzle 4 from the nozzle hook 5, or takes out a towel from the shelf 11 and wipes the car window. Start refueling or service work.

[0005]

[Problem to be solved by the invention] The site of a gas station is relatively large, and one side faces the road, so it is directly affected by the outside world and is exposed to heat, cold, etc. It is physically difficult to wait outside for refueling customers, especially during times when there are few refueling customers. Even if you are inside the office, you can tell when refueling customers are arriving, but if the refueling station workers are not outside when the refueling customers begin to enter the premises, they may not be able to guide them to the refueling point in time, or they may feel uncomfortable. It also makes the gas station less lively.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a refueling device which eliminates the disadvantages of the conventional example and allows a refueling station worker to survive the heat and cold without causing discomfort to the refueling customer when he or she is waiting for the refueling customer outdoors. Our goal is to provide the following.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a service unit housing service equipment and a refueling machine, which are installed side by side through a refueling station staff waiting area, and a case of the service unit and a refueling machine. The main feature is that a top case is provided between the end of the top case and a support column, and a cold air and hot air outlet is opened on the bottom surface of the top case.

[0008]

[Operation] According to the present invention, from the top case of the oil supply device,
Cold air is blown out in the summer, and warm air is blown out in the winter, so if you are standing by the fuel station staff, you can be exposed to cold or warm air, which helps you avoid the heat or cold while waiting for customers. Furthermore, if the heating and cooling equipment is incorporated into the service unit, it will be unnoticeable and there is no risk of causing discomfort.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the main parts showing an embodiment of the refueling apparatus of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway front view showing the main parts of the refueling apparatus of the invention, and shows the configuration of the refueling machine 2 and the service unit 7. has already been explained, so detailed explanation will be omitted here. As mentioned above, the refueling device of the present invention includes a case 2 of a refueling machine 2 in which a refueling mechanism is housed on an island 1.
A service unit 7 is installed on the same island 1, with a case 2a at the end and a refueling station worker standby A large enough for one or two workers to stand. In this case, the service unit is arranged so that the operation surface of the outdoor refueling data input/output device 10 incorporated in the service unit 7 and the opening for putting in and taking out towels, etc. of the shelf 11 face inside the island 1, that is, toward the refueling machine 2. Place 7.

[0010] Then, an air conditioning device 15 is installed in the upper part of the service unit 7, and a cold air or hot air outlet 16 blown from the air conditioning device 15 is located on the lower surface of the top case 14, such as above the standby area A. Open it downward.

As shown in FIG. 2, the air conditioning system 15 is composed of an air conditioner 17, a heater 18, and a fan 19 for taking in outside air. Opening on the side of 7a,
The fan 19, the air conditioner 17, and the heater 18 are connected by an outside air intake pipe 23 having a switching valve 22 in the middle, and the air conditioner 17,
A duct 24 for blowing out cold air and warm air from the heater 18 was opened at the air outlet 16.

[0012] Then, the operation panel 25 of the air conditioning system 15 is installed in the cabinet case 7a, for example, next to the outdoor refueling data input/output device 10. The operation panel 25 is provided with a start switch 31, a changeover switch 26 for switching between the air conditioner 17 and the heater 18, an air volume adjustment knob 27, a temperature adjustment knob 28, and the like.

The fan 19 operates, and outside air is taken into the air introduction pipe 20 from the air intake port 21 and sent to the heater 18 via the intake pipe 23. The outside air is heated here, becomes warm air, and is blown out through the duct 24 from the outlet 16 toward the refueling station staff waiting area A below.

[0015] Therefore, when a worker at a gas station waits outdoors in preparation for the arrival of a refueling customer, if he is in the waiting area A, he can receive warm air from above and keep himself warm. Also,
When operating the outdoor refueling data input/output device 10, the user must also stand in the standby area A, so warm air hits the body at this time as well, allowing the user to keep his body as warm as possible during refueling work, which allows him to work outdoors in the cold. becomes easier. Additionally, motorcycle drivers and others can wait for refueling in this waiting area A to warm themselves and provide better service to refueling customers.

On the other hand, during hot seasons such as summer, selector switch 2
6 to switch the switching valve 22 to the air conditioner 17 side, the outside air taken in by the fan 19 is cooled by the air conditioner 17 in the same manner as in the case of heating described above, and is blown as cold air. It is blown out from the outlet 16 toward the waiting area A below. Therefore, if you stand in this waiting area A and prepare for the arrival of refueling customers, you can cool off while waiting. Note that the heating and cooling device may be installed within or on the top case.
