5), a keyboard 20 (keyboard circuit 16), a display unit 21 (display control circuit 17), a printer 22 (printer drive circuit 24) and a drawer 23 (drawer opening device 25) connected via the input / output port 18. It is operated by turning on the main switch 100 and making the most of the power supply device 29, so that product sales registration work can be performed. The clock function is developed by the clock circuit 14. Note that the normal registration work process shown in ST34 of FIG. 5 and the settlement work process of ST36 are well known and will not be described in detail.

Now, the connector unit 30 includes a main body (1
4) 30A fixedly attached to the rear surface of
30D, and is connected to the power supply device 29 via the opening / closing switches 35A to 35D corresponding to the opening / closing switch group 35. This power supply device 29 is AC 100 V and is activated by turning on the main switch 100. Then, to the connectors 30A to 30D, for example, power cables of respective devices used for opening / closing store preparation work such as the automatic opening / closing door device shown in FIG. 10 are connected. The open / close switches 35A to 35D are software switches and are turned on and off under the control of the CPU 11. The connector and the open / close switch may be provided as one each.

Next, the energization start time setting means (20)
Energization start time (ON to turn on each of the open / close switches 35A to 35D to energize the connectors 30A to 30D) (ON
The time) is set (ST14 in FIG. 3) and is composed of a numeral key on the keyboard 20. The energization end time setting means (20) has the same configuration. This setting is performed for each of the connectors 30A to 30D. Therefore, in this embodiment, a connector number selecting means (keys on the keyboard 20) is provided and a setting screen display control means (C10) for displaying the setting screen on the display 21 (ST10 in FIG. 3).

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG.
In the setting column, alarm ON / OFF, temporary open flag, interlock flag, use flag,
The status flag is also displayed (ST18), and each flag is a flag setting means (key on the keyboard 20).
It is formed that the setting input (ST19) can be performed by. As shown in FIG. 2, these setting contents are stored in an area integrally formed with the setting time data storage means 13T (ST20), and are turned on by the setting content display control means (CPU 11, ROM 12). Similar to the above, the display 21 is displayed as shown in FIG. 7 (ST21).
It is supposed to be. Although ST18 to ST22 in FIG. 4 are described separately from ST13 to ST17 in FIG. 3 for convenience of description, they are actually executed simultaneously with ST13 to ST17.

Here, "alarm presence / absence" sets a flag for determining whether the buzzer 26 shown in FIG. 1 gives an alarm when the current time is equal to the set ON time and OFF time. To do. "Interlocking flag"
Is linked with the clock function ("1") or main switch 1
It is set whether to energize ("0") immediately after turning on 00. Further, the "temporary open flag" turns off the respective connectors 30A to 30D temporarily by the cashier operating a key on the keyboard 20 (ST48 in FIG. 6).
Alternatively, it is for determining whether to allow (“1”) or not (“0”) the turning on (ST49). The "use flag" and the "state flag" are provided as a convenience for knowing whether the connector is used, unused, or energized, and are displayed as shown in FIG. 7, for example.

Next, the time comparison / determination means compares the set time (ON time, OFF time) stored in the set time data storage means 13T with the current time detected by using the clock function (clock circuit 14). The CPU 11 and the ROM 1 are means for judging whether or not the two are the same by comparing them at regular intervals.
2 and is executed in ST40, 41, 42 of FIG. It is formed to be executed when the interlocking flag is set to "1" (YES in ST32 of FIG. 5).
The comparison determination (ST40 to ST42) is executed by a regular interrupt operation.

In this case, the switch opening / closing control means is
When the time comparison / determination means (11, 12) determines that the set energization start time is the same as the current time, the open / close switch of the connector is turned on, and it is determined that the set energization end time is the same. The means for turning off the open / close switch is composed of the CPU 11 and the ROM 12 and is executed in ST43 and ST44 of FIG.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. The cashier issues a setting request command using the keys on the keyboard 20 during the opening operation processing. Then, the setting programs shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are driven. First, the setting screen display control means (11, 12) discloses the setting screen on the display 21 (ST10 in FIG. 3). Next, a setting start command is issued (YES in ST11), and the setting field display control means (11,
12) works, setting column (connector number, ON time, OF
F time) is displayed on the screen of the display 21 (ST13).
This setting field is the same as that when the specific content (for example, HH: MM) of the stored content shown in FIG. 2 is removed.

Here, the cashier uses the connector number selection means, the energization start time setting means, and the energization end setting means formed from the keys on the keyboard 20 while visually referring to the displayed setting fields. Connectors 30A-3
The energization start time (ON time) and energization end time (OFF time) for each 0D are set and input (YES in ST14).
Then, the CPU 11 writes and stores the set contents in the set time data storage means 13T (ST15). At the same time, the setting content display control means (11, 12) displays it on the screen of the display 21 (ST16). In other words, since the setting can be input while confirming the setting contents, it is possible to prevent the setting error. If you make a mistake, you can reset it (ST
17 NO, ST 13-16).

Simultaneously with the above (ST13 to 17), ST18 to 22 in FIG. 4 are executed. That is, with alarm /
Nothing, a temporary open flag, an interlocking flag, etc. are displayed (S18) and input using the flag setting means (20) (ST1).
9) and the setting contents are stored (ST20) and displayed (ST21).

For example, when the power cable of the automatic opening / closing door device (1, 2, 5, 6) shown in FIG. 10 is connected to the connector 30A, the energization start time is "9:59" at the ON time.
Set energization end time "19:00", alarm presence, temporary open presence, and interlock to the OFF time. The display of the setting contents is displayed later as shown in FIG.

The above is set for each of the connectors 30A to 30D (YE in ST23 of FIG. 4).
S). Then, the setting completion message is displayed on the display 21 (ST24). If a reset request is made by key operation (YES in ST25), the process returns to ST13 and subsequent steps in FIG. If it is determined in ST12 of FIG. 3 that the setting is not continued, the process returns to ST25. This cancellation is performed by operating the keys on the keyboard 20.

When the registration work process is started as in the conventional case, the contents shown in FIG. 7 are displayed on the screen of the display 21. The previous settings (ON time etc.) are also displayed. Thus, the CPU 11 has all the open / close switches 35A.
Confirm the initial state in which ~ 35D is OFF (S in FIG. 5).
(YES in T30), and the set time data storage means 13T shown in FIG. 2 is searched to call the opening / closing store data (ST3).
1). For the connectors 30C and 30D (see FIG. 7) in which the interlocking flag is set to "0" (NO in ST32), the opening / closing switches 35C and 35D are immediately turned on (ST33). Then, the normal registration business process (ST3
4) is possible.

By the way, the interlocking flag is set to "1" (S
T32 YES) Connectors 30A, 30B
(See FIG. 7) is executed by the program of FIG. In FIG. 6, an interrupt is executed on a regular basis. That is,
The time comparison / determination means (11, 12) reads the set ON time and the set OFF time (ST40 in FIG. 6) set and stored in the set time data storage means 13T in FIG. It is determined whether it is the same as the time (the time) (ST41, 42).

Here, the switch opening / closing control means (1
1, 12), when it is determined that the same set ON time as that time is set and stored (YES in ST41),
Turn on the open / close switch for the connector (ST4
3). Setting OFF time is set (ST42 Y
If it is determined to be ES, turn it off (ST4
4).

For example, regarding the connector 30A, since the set ON time, which is the set energization start time, is stored at "9:59" as shown in FIG. 7, the open / close switch 35A is turned ON to energize. That is, the power supply of the automatic opening / closing door device connected to this connector 30A is opened (1
It can be automatically added 1 minute before 0:00). Further, since the alarm is provided, the buzzer 26 is sounded and the cashier can confirm this by hearing. Incidentally, this connector 30A is de-energized during a set OFF time (19:00) which is a set energization end time at the same time as the store is closed (19:00).

Further, since the temporary open flag "1" is set (YES in ST45), the cashier can arbitrarily turn on / off the open / close switch 35A of the connector 30A by operating a key on the keyboard 20. Yes (ST46-49). For example, when the automatic opening / closing device has stopped at the setting OFF time (19:00), but the customer still remains in the store, the automatic opening / closing device is temporarily operated to send out the customer. It is provided when making it.

According to this embodiment, however, the connectors 30A to 30D connected to the power supply device 29 via the open / close switches 35A to 35D and the energization start time setting means (2
0), energization end time setting means (20), setting time data storage means 13T, and time comparison / determination means (11, 1).
2) and switch opening / closing control means (11, 12) are provided, and a preset energization start time (preset ON time) is set.
Then, the open / close switches 35A to 35D are turned on to automatically energize the connectors 30A to 30D and when the set energization end time (set OFF time) is reached, the open / close switches 35A to 35D are opened.
Since the power supply to the connectors 30A to 30D is automatically shut off by turning off the power supply 35D, the power supply start time and the power supply to the connector 30A to which the power supply cable of the automatic opening / closing door device, for example, which requires the opening / closing store preparation work is connected. If the end time is set in advance, the opening / closing store preparation work can be accurately and automatically performed in time relation with the opening process work and the settlement process work of the apparatus 10.

In addition, a plurality (4
3) connectors 30A to 30D are provided,
The automatic opening / closing door device, opening / closing store broadcasting device, air conditioner, etc. that require opening / closing store preparation work can be automatically started / stopped according to the opening / closing store time, so the workers for them can be wiped out.

Further, since the energization start time setting means and the energization end time setting means are formed by the keys on the keyboard 20, it is easy to handle and the desired time can be accurately set.

The setting screen display control means (11, 1
2), display column display control means (11, 12) and setting content display control means (11, 12) are provided, so that the energization start time (ON time) and energization end time (ON time) of each of the connectors 30A to 30D ( OFF time) can be set more easily and accurately.

The set time data storage means 13T stores the connector number (30
A to 30D), the respective times can be accurately set and stored for each connector 30A to 30D. Moreover, since the presence / absence of an alarm, the temporary open flag, the interlocking flag, the use flag, and the state flag can be set and stored organically and integrally, the applicability is further widened.

Further, it is formed to determine whether or not to control ON / OFF of each of the opening / closing switches 35A to 35D based on the set energization start time and the set energization end time in relation to the interlocking flag ("1"). Therefore, by setting the interlocking flag to "0" while keeping the set energization start time and the set energization end time as they are, the opening / closing switches 35A to 35D can be energized simultaneously when the main switch 100 is turned on. For example, the automatic opening / closing door device can be easily inspected.

If the temporary open flag ("1") is set, the opening / closing switches 35A to 35D can be exceptionally turned on / off exceptionally, so that, for example, the automatic opening / closing door device is temporarily operated. Can be made.
