Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically cut a hose when the required quantity of hose is delivered by putting information marks on the hose, and reading the length data from the information marks. CONSTITUTION:The total quantity and the length value at the tip of a hose 2 are stored in a data processing section 6 as initial values. The desired length is inputted to the data processing section 6, the motor (m) of a hose delivery section 3 is operated, and the hose 2 is automatically delivered. A sensor 4 is operated when the hose 2 is delivered, the length from the tip and the residual quantity are read out from information marks 9 on the surface of the hose 2, and the data signals are sent to the data processing section 6. The data processing section 6 calculates the delivered length based on the length data value in the information marks 9 and compares it with the initially inputted length. When the data processing section 6 judges that the hose 2 is delivered by the inputted length, it stops the motor (m), and it cuts the hose 2 at this position with a cutter 5.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hose measuring device for cutting and selling a hose wound on a reel by a desired length.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 4, a hose that is sold out from a reel by a required length is displayed with a remaining amount length scale b so that the remaining amount can be known. There was something that became.

[0003]

When cutting out such a hose by a required length, the required length value is subtracted from the current value of the remaining amount scale b _{1 and} the value of that value is subtracted. The hose may be cut at the cutting portion 10 before the remaining length scale b _x . However, people are not good at subtraction rather than addition, and the required length is different, so the calculation of the difference from the remaining amount is not always easy. Also, since there was no device that automatically cuts a hose of the desired length,
People used the hand to pull out the hose and then cut it for sale. Further, since the remaining amount, the sales amount, and the like are entered in a book each time, it is troublesome especially when managing a large number of varieties. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to automatically feed out and cut a hose by a required length, and display hose information such as the remaining hose length at that time.

[0004]

The hose measuring device of the present invention is provided with a hose feeding section for feeding a hose wound on a reel from a reel, and a hose feeding portion for feeding a hose wound on the surface with a mark having information about the hose. A cutter that cuts the hose, a sensor that reads the mark on the hose surface and outputs a signal, a data processing part that processes the output signal data from this sensor, a data display part, and a hose feed by the output signal from the sensor And a controller for controlling the section and the cutter.

[0005]

When the desired length is input and the present apparatus is operated, the hose delivery section is activated and the hose is delivered from the reel. The sensor reads the length data from the information mark on the hose and inputs the data to the data processing unit. The data processing unit compares the previously input desired length data with the data from the sensor, and when the necessary amount of hose is fed, the hose feeding unit is stopped and automatically disconnected. The data processing unit processes the data read from the hose and displays the remaining amount, the total sales amount, and other data.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a hose reel 1 around which a hose 2 is wound, a hose delivery section 3 equipped with a motor m for rotating the reel 1, and an information mark 9 ( 2) a sensor 4 for reading, a cutter 5 for cutting the hose 2, a data processing unit 6 for processing the data from the sensor 4, and a hose feeding unit 3 and the cutter 5 according to the data from the sensor 4 are controlled. The controller 7 and the display 8 for displaying the processed data. The information mark 9 on the surface of the hose 2 contains the length data x from the tip, the remaining length data L, the unit price data y _0, and the product type data z ₀ for each unit length (1 cm). It is a bar code. These data are read, necessary processing is performed, and the display unit 8 displays the product type z ₀ , the sales amount x ₀ , the price y, the remaining amount L, the total sales amount X, and the total sales Y at that time.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, when a new hose reel 1 is installed and the present apparatus is operated, the total amount L ₀ of the hose and the leading edge length value x ₁ = 0 are stored in the data processing unit 6 as initial values (step 1). Next, when the desired length x ₀ is input to the data processing unit 6 (step 2) and the switch is turned on, the motor m of the hose sending-out part 3 is activated and the hose 2 is automatically sent out (step 3, 4). When the hose 2 is sent out, the sensor 4 is activated at the same time,
The length x from the tip, the unit price y ₀ , the product type z _0, and the remaining amount L are read from the information mark 9 on the surface of the hose 2, and the data signal is transmitted to the data processing unit 6 (step 5).

The data processing unit 6 calculates the length x ₂ = x−x ₁ sent from the length data value x in the information mark 9 and compares it with the length x ₀ input at the beginning ( Steps 6 and 7). When it is determined that the hose 2 has been fed by the length x ₀ , the motor m is stopped (step 8), and the controller 7 is instructed to disconnect the hose 2 at that position (step 9). When the hose 2 is cut to a desired length, at that point, the data processing unit 6 performs necessary calculations (step 10) to calculate the product type z ₀ , the sales amount x ₀ , the price y, the total sales amount x, and the remaining amount. The quantity L and the total sales Y are displayed (step 11).

Up to this point, one sale is completed. Then, when the next sale is performed, the length data of the tip of the hose is set to x ₁ , and this x ₁ is the total sales amount up to the previous time x
The value of is substituted (step 12). However, the price y
= Y ₀ × x ₀ , total sales Y = y ₀ × x. By using this device, not only can the hose be sent and disconnected automatically, but the price at the time of sale can also be calculated automatically by inputting the initial value.

[0010]

[Effect] By using this device, it is possible to automatically feed out and cut the hose by the required length, and display the hose information such as the remaining hose length at that time.
