Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a device for weighing, packing, and pricing fresh food items stored in a tray.

(Prior Art) In recent years, so-called pre-packaged products are on display and sold in the fresh food counters such as supermarkets. As an apparatus for manufacturing this type of pre-packaged product, for example, JP-A-60-77843 is available. The one disclosed in the official gazette is known. The device described in this gazette includes a packaging machine for packaging a product stored in a tray with a packaging film together with the tray, a weighing machine for weighing the weight of the packaged product, and a weighing value of the weighing machine and a designated unit price. A label printer for printing the price of the product calculated based on the label on a label, and a label applying machine for applying the label issued by this label printer to the packaged product, and from the product carry-in section of the device It is configured such that the supplied products are packaged, weighed and labeled (valued) consistently, and then discharged from the carry-out section.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) By the way, at the production sites of pre-packaged products in recent supermarkets and the like, intermediate-stage products called "finishing" and completed only packaging (hereinafter referred to as "finished goods") Is produced in advance and stored in a storage cabinet, and the finished product is taken out from the storage cabinet in response to a request from the sales floor, and then weighed and priced again and supplied to the sales floor. There is.

To deal with this method, there is a mode in which packaging, weighing and pricing are consistently performed, and a mode in which only packaging is possible,
Although an apparatus has been developed and put into practical use which allows selection of a mode capable of both weighing and pricing, the following situation cannot be dealt with by simply switching the working mode. In other words, this type of pre-packaged product is generally produced so as to compensate for the inventory shortage with respect to the sales forecast quantity determined based on past sales results, etc., so the number of overstocked inventory is not sufficiently grasped on site. When,
Even if there is a request for a missing product from the sales floor, we cannot respond to it promptly, and in some cases, we find out that the stock of the product is out of stock. In some cases, too many unfinished products will be created and overstock will result in unsold items. Further, it is fully conceivable that an over-stock inventory may be overlooked, but a new product of the same item may be newly produced and sold, and as a result, the un-delivered goods stored in the storage may remain as long-term inventory.
In particular, if such an error occurs in a fresh food product that requires freshness, the commercial value will be impaired, resulting in a great loss.

An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus capable of accurately grasping the current number of overcomings at a production site and preventing the above situation from occurring.

(Means for Solving the Problem) That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the weighing and packaging apparatus of claim 1 of the present application has a weighing means a for weighing the weight of the product stored in the tray and the product. And a label issuing means c that prints product information such as the product name, unit price, weight, and price of the product on a label attached to the packaged tray. A first mode in which the weighing means a, the packaging means b, and the label issuing means c are interlocked, a second mode in which packaging is prohibited and the weighing means a and label issuing means c are operated, and a label issuance is prohibited to operate the packaging means b. A mode selecting means d for selecting any one of the third modes to be activated, a control means e for controlling each of the weighing means a, the packaging means b, and the label issuing means c according to the selected mode, and a product. finger There is provided a designation means f for setting, a storage means g for storing the number of processes in the third mode for each designated product, and a display means h for displaying the stored contents. In this case, the number of processes processed in the third mode may be automatically registered by counting the number of wrappings for each designated product. For example, the number of processed products produced when the third mode is selected may be set as follows. The registration may be performed by operating the ten-key pad or the like.

In addition, when a product is designated in the first mode or the third mode, if the number of processes for the designated product, that is, the number of stocks to be finished has already been registered, production of more goods to be finished is prohibited. Therefore, the packaging means b is configured to prohibit the packaging operation.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the weighing and packaging price-applying device of claim 4 of the present application has the same weighing means a ', packaging means b', label issuing means c ', and mode selecting means d'as in claim 1. , A control means e ′, a storage means g ′, and the second
Counting means i'for counting the number of operations in the mode for each designated product, and calculating means j for obtaining the remaining number by subtracting the count value in the second mode from the stored value of the designated product stored in the storage means g '. ′ And display means h ′ for displaying the calculation result.

In this case, when the remaining number becomes zero, each operation of weighing / label issuance is prohibited.

(Operation) First, according to the structure of claim 1, when the first mode is selected by the mode selecting means d, each work of weighing, packaging and pricing is performed, and when the second mode is selected, each of weighing and pricing is performed. The control means e controls the weighing means a, the packaging means b, and the label issuing means c, respectively, so that only the packaging work can be performed when the work and the third mode are selected. Then, when the third mode for producing an unfinished product is set, the number of unfinished stock of the designated product stored in the storage unit g is displayed on the display unit h by the designation of the product. As a result, the finished inventory of each product can be immediately grasped on the spot, and real-time production control / inventory control on the production spot becomes possible. In addition, since the number of deliveries of each product is automatically registered by storing the number of times of packaging at the time of production, mistakes in setting the number of deliveries and omission of registration can be prevented.

Further, according to the configuration of claim 4, when the weighing and pricing of the finished goods are performed in the second mode, the number of stocks of finished goods registered in the third mode is subtracted and displayed for each processing operation. . Therefore, even in this case, it is possible to grasp the over-stock inventory at the production site in real time. Also, in the second mode, when the over-stock inventory becomes zero, weighing and pricing are prohibited, so it is possible to check whether the actual inventory quantity and the registered inventory quantity match or do not match. .

(Example) Hereinafter, the Example of this invention is described.

First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

And, when performing pricing, mode II is selected respectively. Also, clear the alarm release key 14 and the clear key 17
It can also consist of c.

In addition, the packaging film 20 fed from the film roll 19 is supplied to the packaging mechanism 5. In addition, in the first embodiment, the heater conveyor 6 is used.
An article detection sensor 21 for detecting the article above is installed below the labeling machine 8.

Next, the control system in the first embodiment will be explained. As shown in FIG.
Is a controller 22 composed of, for example, a microcomputer, a display section 23 composed of the display 11 and the like, a mode select key 13 and a start key 15a.
And a memory 25 for storing various data, and a key signal from the operation unit 24 is input to the controller 22, while a display signal is displayed from the controller 22 to the display unit 23. It is supposed to be output.
A weighing signal from the weighing device 3 and a detection signal from the article detection sensor 21 in the heater conveyor 6 are also input to the controller 22. In addition, from the controller 22, the packaging machine 1
Also, signals for instructing the label applying machine 8 to operate and stop are output. The controller 22 and the label printer 9 exchange signals with each other.
Then, a controller 22 outputs signals for instructing print contents and print operations to the book table printer 26 connected to the console box 10.

Next, the processing operation of the controller 22 in each operation stage will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 6 and 7.

(Turning on the system switch) First, the operator turns on the system switch 12 of the console box 10 in order to start up the apparatus. Then, the controller 22 executes a predetermined initialization and then enters a loop process of repeating steps S ₄₁ and S ₄₂ shown in FIG.

1. In the case of weighing-packaging-pricing (1) Mode selection When performing the weighing-packaging-pricing consistent work, first set the mode select key 13 to the mode I side. Then, the controller 22 _proceeds from step S ₄₁ to the key processing routine S ₄₃ . In this routine S43, since the current setting mode is I as shown in FIG. 6, the processes from steps S ₁ , S ₂ , S ₃ to step S ₄ are executed to set the pricing mode, Then, the process again returns to the loop process of repeating steps S ₄₁ and S ₄₂ shown in FIG.

(2) Designation of product Next, since the product name, unit price, etc. of the product must be set, the operator inputs the product code (call code) with the ten keys 18, and then operates the call key 17a. Specify the product. Then, the controller 22 operates the numeric keypad 18 to operate from step S ₄₁ to steps S ₁ , S ₈ , S ₁₀ , S.
Run the leading process _13, in step S ₁₅ that follows, and stores the commodity code registered number, returns to the loop process of steps S _41, S _42. If the call key 17a is operated subsequently, this time by executing the processing in steps _{S 1, S 8, S 10} , S 13, S 15, S 16, in step S _18, stored in the memory 25 The item name, unit price, number of overstocks, etc. of the designated specified product are read out and displayed on the display unit 11, and in the subsequent step S ₁₈ , the print information such as the read item name, unit price etc. is transferred to the label printer 9.
On the other hand, the label printer 9 receives this and waits for a print command described later.

In the next step S ₁₉ , it is checked whether or not the overstock inventory is registered in the read information. If it is not registered, the process returns to step S ₄₁ in FIG. already for notifying that TsukamatsuEtsu products have been produced, after setting the packing prohibition mode in step S _21, S _22, play a predetermined alarm display or buzzer sound. As a result, the worker can know the existence of the over-stock inventory, and when confirming the absence of the stock, it can be determined that the product code is input incorrectly.

To cancel the above alarm, the alarm cancel key 14 is operated. Then, the controller 22 causes the sixth
Step S ₁ of _{FIG., S 8, S 10, S} 13, S 15, S 23, S 24, S 25,
Execute S ₂₆ to set the alarm release and
Reset the ban mode. As a result, the alarm display is turned off and the buzzer sound is stopped.

(3) Start of work When the product name and unit price are set in this way, the start key 15a is operated to start the work. By operating this start key 15a, the controller 22
Run the S _1, S _8, S ₉ to set the operating mode. That ’s why
After exiting the key processing subroutine of FIG. 6, the controller 22 _proceeds from step S ₄₂ to steps S ₄₄ , S ₄₇ , S ₄₈ , S.
_The loop processing from ₄₉ , S ₆₁ , and S ₄₁ is executed, and the current calculated weight is displayed. That is, in step S ₄₇ , the controller 22 calculates the net weight based on the weight value input from the weighing machine 3, multiplies this by the unit price to calculate the price, and displays them on the display unit 23. After that, step S ₄₈ ,
The loop processing from S ₄₉ , S ₆₁ , S ₄₁ , S ₄₂ , S ₄₄ to step S ₄₇ is executed, and the weight display is repeated again. In this way, steps S ₄₁ , S ₄₂ , S until the goods are loaded on the weighing device 3.
_The processes of ₄₄ , S ₄₇ , S ₄₈ , S ₄₉ , S ₆₁ , and S ₄₁ are repeated.

Next, when the tray Y containing the products X is loaded on the weighing machine 3, the controller 22 executes steps S ₄₉ to S ₅₀ . However, at this time, since the pricing mode has already been set in the previous step S ₄ , the determination in this step S ₅₀ is YES, and the next step S ₅₃
At, determine whether the measured value is stable. In this case, in the beginning, due to the influence of damping and the like of the tray Y, because the weight value is not stable, the process proceeds from step S ₅₃ to step S _61, returns to the loop process described above.

Then, when the measured value stabilizes after the elapse of a predetermined time,
Now, the process proceeds from step S ₅₃ to step S _54, and transfers the print command and the net weight and the price calculated in the step S ₄₇ to the label printer 9. As a result, the label printer 9
Starts printing on the condition that no label is present in the label issuing port (see steps P ₃ , P ₄ , and P ₅ in FIG. 9).

Then, by outputting a transport command to the packaging machine 1 is activated and the input conveyor 2 and the lifter 4 in step S _52, step S
₅₅ In the next step S ₆₀ passed through the outputs packaging command to packaging machine 1 sets the wrapping mechanism 5 operatively, followed sets the packaging start flag. As a result, the tray Y loaded on the weighing device 3 is carried in by the carry-in conveyor 2 and transferred to the lifter 4, where it is lifted by the lifter 4 and carried to the packaging mechanism 5. Then, after being wrapped by the packaging mechanism 5 in a predetermined manner, it is discharged to the heat conveyor 6.

On the other hand, while the packaging operation is being performed, the controller 22 controls the steps S _{41 to} S ₄₇ to steps S ₄₈ , S ₆₁ , S.
_When the process up to ₄₁ is repeatedly executed and the label printing by the label printer 9 is completed and appears at the label issuing port during that time, the information is transferred to the controller via step S ₇ of the label printer 9 shown in FIG. Called 22. Thus, the controller 22 is in the process of step S ₄₄ to S _47, executes Step S ₄₅ from step S _44. However, since the tray Y has not been detected by the article detection sensor 21 at this point, step _S46 is skipped and the next step _S47 is executed.

When the tray Y loaded on the weighing device 3 is taken into the packaging mechanism 5, the next roll Y can be loaded on the weighing device 3, and in this case, the weight of the next product is determined in step S _47.
Will be calculated and displayed.

Next, when the wrapped tray Y is discharged to the heat conveyor 6, the packaging machine 1 outputs a packaging completion signal to the controller 22 at that timing. The controller 22 thereby executes steps S ₆₁ to S ₆₂ to reset the packaging start flag, and then executes steps S ₆₃ to S ₄₁ , S ₄₂ and S ₄₄ to step S ₄₅ .

When the article detection sensor 21 detects the tray Y, the controller 22 _proceeds from step _S45 to step S45.
_The process shifts to ₄₆ and the operation command is output to the labeling machine 8. As a result, the label applicator 8 starts operating, and the label transferred from the label printer 9 to the label applier 8 is applied to the product being conveyed on the conveyor 6.

Next, when moving from step S ₄₇ to step S ₄₈ , since the packaging start flag is reset this time,
A check of the goods loading is carried out in the transition to the next step S _49. And if the product loading is confirmed, the next step
Run the S _50, S _53, if confirmed, the process proceeds from step S ₄₉ to step S _61.

Through such processing, every time the tray Y is loaded on the weighing machine 3, the above processing is repeatedly executed.

In addition, when weighing, packaging, and pricing for another product, perform the operation in (2) above to set the product name and unit price of the corresponding product, and reload the tray Y on the weighing machine 3. Then, the work of (3) and (2) described above is started. Of course, in this case, since the operation mode has already been set,
It is not necessary to operate the start key 15a.

In the above operation procedure, the mode I is set first, and then the product is designated, but there is no problem even if the reverse operation is performed.

When the tray Y is caught in the packaging mechanism 5 and the packaging machine 1 is to be stopped urgently, the stop key 15b of the operation unit 24 is pressed. Then, the controller 22 executes step _{S 1, S 8, S 10} , S 11 from the step S ₄₁ outputs a stop signal to the packaging machine 1, and resets the operation mode in step S ₁₂ that follows. This causes the packaging machine 1 to make an emergency stop. Further, when releasing this state, a reset key (not shown) is operated to return each mechanism section of the packaging machine 1 to the initialized state.

2. For weighing and pricing (1) Mode selection When performing weighing and pricing, first set the mode select key 13 to the mode II side. Then, the controller 22 shifts from step S ₄₁ to the key processing routine shown in FIG. 6, step _{S 1, S 2, S 3} , S 6, and executes the processes of S _7, where the value with mode Then, the packaging prohibition mode is set and the process returns to step S ₄₁ shown in FIG.

(2) Designation of Product Next, the product name, unit price, etc. of the finished product are set, and the setting operation and the processing operation of the controller 22 in that case are the same as those in the above case. However, this mode because it is mode in which with metering-value for TsukamatsuEtsu article confirms the TsukamatsuEtsu stock in step S _19, the process returns from step S ₂₀ to the main processing of FIG. 7.

(3) Start of work When the product name, unit price, etc. of the finished product are set in this way, the work is finally started, but when the operation mode is already set, for example, when this work is performed after the work of mode I Starts the work immediately without operating the start key 15a, and when starting from this work mode, starts the work after operating the start key 15a.

Then, the processing operation of the controller 22 when this key is operated is similar to that described above.

When the preparation is completed in this way, the finished product is then loaded on the weighing machine 3. Then, the controller 22 shifts from step S ₄₉ to step S ₅₀ as in the case of (3) described above, and determines the weighing stability in the next step S ₅₃ . And
If it is unstable, the process _proceeds to step S ₆₁ and returns to the process of step S ₄₁ and subsequent steps. If it is stable, the process _proceeds from step S ₅₃ to step S ₅₄ to calculate the calculated net weight, price and print command. And are transferred to the label printer 9. As a result, the label printing by the printer 9 is started.

Next, in step S _52, the packaging machine 1 outputs a conveyance command to the continues at step S ₅₆ that has undergone the step S _55, 1 piece by subtracting the registered TsukamatsuEtsu inventory quantity of a specified product, the display unit 11 the results To display. As a result, the carry-in conveyor 2 is activated,
The finished product on the weighing machine 3 is carried into the packaging machine 1, and the current inventory quantity of the finished product is displayed. However, since this mode II is the packaging prohibition mode, the finished product transferred to the lifter 4 is lifted by the lifter 4 and conveyed to the packaging mechanism 5, but the packaging mechanism 5 does not operate,
It is discharged to the heater conveyor 6 as it is.

Next, the controller 22 checks the result of the subtraction in step S _57, the result is again returns to the step S ₄₁ following processing is not zero, step S ₅₈ if zero
In, reset the pricing mode, in step S _59, returns to the step S ₄₁ to set the packaging prohibition mode. As a result, the weighing-pricing mode is automatically reset when the overstock inventory of the ordered product is exhausted.

Then, when the execution step shifts from step S ₅₇ to step S ₄₁ , the finished product loaded on the weighing machine 3 has already been carried in by the carry-in conveyor 2, so the controller 22 causes the controller 22 to execute step S _42. To steps S ₄₈ , S ₄₉ ,
The processing from S ₆₁ to S ₄₁ is repeatedly executed. Then, during the meantime, when the next finished product is loaded on the weighing machine 3,
In step S ₄₇ , the net weight and price of the finished product is calculated and displayed, and when the finished product is detected by the article detection sensor 21, the process proceeds from step S ₄₅ to step S ₄₆ .
An operation command is output to the labeling machine 8. This allows
A label on which a predetermined item is printed is attached to the finished product on the conveyor 6 by the label attaching machine 8.

Through such processing, each time the finished product is loaded on the weighing machine 3, the above-described processing is repeated, and the finished product is weighed and priced.

3. When producing an unfinished product (1) Mode selection When cutting an unfinished product, set the mode select key 13 to the mode III side. Then, the controller 22 proceeds from step S ₄₁ to perform the steps S _1, S _2, S ₅ of FIG. 6, to reset the pricing mode.

(2) Designation of a finished product Next, the operator operates the ten-key 18 and the call key 17a to designate a finished product. Then, the controller 22 executes the same steps as those in the above mode to perform the product name, unit price, and
The stock quantity and the like are displayed (step S ₁₇ ). When there is if TsukamatsuEtsu stock, for notifying this, by performing the steps S _21, S _22, as well as set the packing prohibition mode, an alarm display or an alarm or the like. If there is no over-stock inventory, return as it is and step S _41.
Return to the loop processing below.

(3) Start of work When the finished product is designated in this way, the start key
15a is operated and the work is started. Of course, when the start key 15a is operated, the work is immediately started.

In the work, first, the tray Y on which the product X is loaded is placed on the weighing machine 3. Then, the controller 22 shifts from the loop processing of steps S ₄₁ , S ₄₂ , S ₄₇ , S ₄₈ , S ₄₉ , S ₆₁ , and S _{41 to} the processing of steps S ₄₉ , S ₅₀ , and S ₅₁ , and proceeds to step S _{At 52} , a transportation command is output to the packaging machine 1. That is,
In this mode, the carry-in conveyor 2 is started and the lifter 4 is set to be operable at the time when the product loading is confirmed without waiting for the weighing to stabilize. As a result, the tray Y loaded on the weighing device 3 is carried in by the carry-in conveyor 2 and transferred to the lifter 4, further raised by the lifter 4 and carried to the packaging mechanism 5. Then, after being wrapped in the packaging machine 1 in a predetermined manner, it is discharged to the heat conveyor 6.

Meanwhile, the controller 22, step S ₆₁ from step _{S 60, S 41, S 42} , S 44, S 48, repeatedly executes the loop processing leading to S _61. Then, when the wrapped tray Y is discharged to the heat conveyor 6, the packaging machine 1
A wrapping completion signal is output from the controller 22, whereby the controller 22 _proceeds from step S ₆₁ to step S ₆₂ , resets the packaging start flag, and stores the memory for the product in step S ₆₄ after the next step S _63. The stocked inventory quantity registered in 25 is incremented by 1, and the result is displayed on the display unit 23 as the inventory stocked quantity of the designated product.

Subsequently, the controller 22 executes a loop process leading from step S ₄₁ to step _{S 42, S 44, S 47} , S 48, S 49, S 61, S 41. Then, in the meantime, when the next tray Y is loaded on the weighing device 3, steps S ₄₉ to S ₅₀ , S
_The processes from ₅₁ , S ₅₂ , S ₅₅ , and S ₆₀ are executed to start the packaging machine 1.

In this way, each time the tray Y is loaded on the weighing machine 3, the above processing is repeatedly executed to produce an unfinished product, and the number of production packs thereof is registered as the number of unfinished stock of the designated product. go.

Further, when producing a finished product of another product, the above work is started after setting the product name and unit price of the product.

In addition, when it is desired to print out the finished inventory list of each produced item, the total key 17b is operated. Then, the controller 22, the step S ₂₇ of FIG. 6, S _28, S
₂₉ is executed to display the number of overstocked stock of each item on the display unit 23, and at the same time, the stock information is transmitted to the form printer 26. As a result, the form printer 26 prints out the list as shown in FIG.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

In the second embodiment, a label is manually attached to a pack product, and a packaging machine 1'constituting a weighing and packaging price determination apparatus has a carry-in conveyor 2'as shown in FIG. A weighing instrument 3'provided near the start end of the conveyor, a lifter 4'which is also vertically arranged in the extension direction of the end of the carry-in conveyor 2 ', and a packaging mechanism 5'disposed above the lifter 4'. It has a heater conveyor 6'disposed in the carrying-out direction of the packaging mechanism 5 ', a sealer 7'disposed at an intermediate portion of the heater conveyor 6', and a console / label printer 9 '.

Next, the control system according to the second embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 11, this control system includes a controller 22 ', a display section 23', an operating section 24 ', and a memory.
25 'and the key signal from the operation unit 24' is input to the controller 22 ', while the controller 22'
A display signal is output from the display unit 23 'to the display unit 23'. The operation unit 24 'has keys similar to those in the first embodiment. Further, the controller 22 'receives the weighing signal from the weighing machine 3'. On the other hand, the controller 22 'outputs signals for instructing the packaging machine 1'to start and stop. Controller 22 'and label printer 9'
And are designed to exchange signals with each other. Then, the booklet printer 26 'connected to the controller 22' is configured so that the controller 22 'outputs signals for instructing printing contents and printing operation.

Next, the processing operation of the controller 22 'of the second embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. 12, but the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the printing label is manually attached. Different from the embodiment, other points, for example, the operation of selecting a mode and the processing operation of the controller 22 'associated therewith, and the operation of specifying the product in each mode and the processing operation of the controller 22' associated therewith Since this is the same as the first embodiment, the description of the processing operation of the controller 22 'will focus on the operation after the product is designated and the processing operation of the controller 22' associated therewith.

1. Weighing - packaging - the case of pricing (1) followed by the start key 15a to the specified item is operated, the controller 22 ', step S ₁ shown from step T ₁ in FIG. 6, S _8, S Execute ₉ to set the operation mode. Therefore, if the routine exits in the key processing, the controller 22 ', Step T _2, T ₇ steps T _1,
T _8, repeatedly executes the loop processing leading to T _9.

(2) now to loading the 'tray Y to' meter 3, the processing of the controller 22 ', it proceeds from step T ₉ to step T _10, so the mode at this time is the pricing mode, weighing Until T stabilizes from step T ₁₁ to step T
_The loop process from ₁ , T ₂ , T ₇ , T ₈ , T ₉ , T ₁₀ is repeatedly executed. When the weight value stabilizes, the first step is
Shifts from T ₁₂ to step T _13, the net weight and price calculated in step T _7, transferred to the label printer 9 'with print command.

On the other hand, when the label printer 9'receives these pieces of information by interruption and returns to the main program, printing is started on condition that there is no label at the label issuing port. That is, as shown in FIG. 13, the printer 9 ', in the initial state, steps from Step Q ₁
The loop process from Q ₂ , Q ₄ , Q ₅ , and Q ₈ is repeated, and when print information is received, steps Q ₂ to Q ₃ , Q ₄ ,
Run the leading process to _{Q 5, Q 8, Q 9} , prints predetermined items on the label. When the printing is finished, the flow returns from step Q ₁₀ executes step Q _11, Q ₁₂ to step Q _1.

Here, the stock number of data shown in step Q _3, Q _10, that the stock number in the case where the print information to be printed on a single label one unit, in the initial state, the stock number is zero , When the print data is received in step Q ₂ , the stock number becomes 1. When the received data is printed on the label in step Q ₉ , the stock number becomes zero. Therefore, the processing step of the printer 9 ′ is step Q ₁₂
When returning from step Q ₁ to the label, the label appears at the label issuing port, and the printer 9 ′ proceeds from step Q ₂
The loop process from Q ₄ , Q ₁₅ , Q ₁₆ , and Q ₁ is repeated.

On the other hand, the controller 22 ', executing step T ₁₃ described above, and sequentially executes step T _14, T _15, T ₁₆ followed, packaging machine 1' is activated and the packaging start flag at the next step T ₁₇ Set, step T ₁₈ to original step T
Return to ₁ .

As a result, the tray Y'on the weighing device 3'is carried in by the carry-in conveyor 2'and transferred to the lifter 4 ', and subsequently carried by the lifter 4'to the packaging mechanism 5'and wrapped in a predetermined manner. When the tray Y 'is heat conveyor 6' is discharged to, at that timing, 'packaging completion signal controller 22' is output to the packaging machine 1, thereby, the controller 22 ', Step T ₁ ~ step T The process shifts from the loop process of ₈ , T ₁₈ , and T _{1 to} the process of step T ₁₉ , resets the packaging start flag, executes the subsequent step T ₂₀ , and returns to the original step T ₁ .

On the other hand, while such a packaging operation is being performed, the printer 9 ′ finishes printing the label and the label appears at the label issuing port. Then, when the operator remove the label from the issue port, the printer 9 'executes the ranging processing from step Q ₄ Step Q _5, Q _6, the controller 22 by the interrupt processing that the label has been removed Contact '
In the following step Q ₇ , reset the issue flag and
Step Q ₁ from the _{Q 8, Q 2, Q 4} , Q 5, executes a loop process leading to Q _8.

On the other hand, the controller 22 ', reset when there is contact of the label removal, the patch completion flag is adapted to set in the interrupt processing, confirms this flag at step T _2, the sticking completion flag at step T ₄ To do.

Then, when the tray Y'wrapped in a predetermined manner is discharged to the heat conveyor 6 ', the removed label is
The tray is attached to a predetermined position of the tray Y'by an operator.

Through such processing, the processing described above is repeatedly executed each time a new tray Y'is loaded on the weighing machine 3 '.

If the next tray Y'is loaded on the weighing machine 3'without removing the label from the label issuing port, the tray 9'is wrapped in a predetermined manner by the packaging machine 1 '. In this case,

_The process up to ₁₈ is executed, and the controller 22 'is notified that transfer of the next print data is prohibited. When this notification is received, the controller 22 'will not be able to load a new tray next time.
The determination in step T ₁₂ becomes YES, and it becomes impossible to start the packaging machine 1 '.

When the label of the label issue port is removed, the printer 9 'executes step Q _5, Q _8, Q ₉ from Step Q _4, and issues a label wrapped trays, followed by step Q ₁₀ up to step Q ₁₄ are sequentially executed from, contact transfer prohibition cancellation of print data to the controller 22 '.

Upon receiving this notification, the controller 22 '
The determination result in T ₁₂ is YES, so the following step T
Then the net weight and price on the loading has been trays transferred into the label printer 9 'at _13, and activates the packaging machine 1 in step T _16.

In this way, the packaging machine 1 is controlled in accordance with the manual label application speed.

2. In case of weighing and pricing (1) At the beginning of work, controller 22 '
Repeats the loop processing from step T ₁ to steps T ₂ , T ₇ , T ₈ , T ₉ , and T ₁ .

(2) When is loading 'TsukamatsuEtsu product Y to "meter 3, the controller 22' until the weighing value is stable, the step T ₁₀ Step _{T 9, T 11, T 12} , T 7, T _The loop process from ₈ to T ₉ is repeatedly executed, and when the measured value becomes stable, steps T ₁₁ to T ₁₂ , T ₁₃ , and T ₁₄ are executed. However, in this mode, since the packaging prohibition mode is set, the processing step of the controller 22 'is
_Go from step ₁₄ to step T ₁ . That is, in this mode,
It is designed to operate as a weighing and pricing machine.

Note that after transferring the print data to the printer 9 'in step T _13, so long as the weight value does not return to zero, Step T ₁₂
From the steps T ₁ , T ₂ , T ₇ , T ₈ , T ₉ , T ₁₀ , T ₁₁ , T ₁₂ are repeatedly executed to prevent the same print data from being transferred to the printer 9 ′. ing.

On the other hand, when the printer 9'receives this print data,
As in the case of weighing-packaging-pricing, printing is started on the condition that no label is present at the label issuing port. When the label appears on the label issue port, the printer 9 ', step Q ₁₅ Step _{Q 4, Q 16, Q 1} , Q 2,
When the operator removes this label from the issuing port by repeatedly executing the loop processing up to Q ₄ , the printer 9 ′ executes the processing from step Q ₄ to steps Q ₅ and Q ₆ to print the label. Controller removed by interrupt processing
Contact 22 '.

Then, the controller 22 'executes Step T ₂ Step T _4, T _5, T ₆ sequentially, while one subtracts the TsukamatsuEtsu inventory quantity of the relevant product, the display unit 23 the results' displayed To do.

In this way, every time the finished product is weighed and priced, the number of stocks of finished products registered for the finished product is automatically subtracted and displayed.

3. To produce TsukamatsuEtsu article (1) at the beginning of the work, the controller 22 ', Step T ₂ from step T ₁ in the same manner as described _{above, T 7, T 8, T} 9, T 1
The loop process of is repeatedly executed.

(2) Then, in this mode, because the value with the mode is reset, the weighing device 3 when is loading 'tray Y' and step T ₁₀ Step _{T 9, T 14, T 15} , T 16, T ₁₇
Then, the packaging machine 1'is immediately activated. continue,
Sets the packaging start flag in step T _17, Step T ₁ from step _{T 18, T 2, T 7} , and repeats the loop processing of T _8, T _18. When the completed packaging by the same manner as described above operation, the controller 22 'executes step T ₁₉ Step T _18, and resets the packaging start flag,
In step T ₂₁ passed through the next step T _20, and one adds the TsukamatsuEtsu inventory quantity for the given commodity, is displayed on the display unit 23 'results. Then, the process returns to step T ₁ again, and the loop processing of steps T ₂ to T ₇ , T ₈ , T ₉ , T ₁ is repeated.

In this way, every time the tray is loaded on the weighing machine 3 ', the packaging machine 1'is activated to produce the finished product wrapped in a predetermined manner, and the inventory quantity is automatically registered. .
