Is the garbage 2 and truck 2 stored in pairs with the car number
The weight signal of the garbage 2 is calculated by subtracting the weight signal of only the truck 2 received this time from the total weight signal of the above (S114).
The disposal fee of the refuse 2 is calculated from the weight of the refuse 2, the type of the refuse 2, and the disposal fee stored for each type of the refuse 2 (S116). Then, the card storage unit 1 of the card 11
It is determined whether or not the balance stored in 1a is equal to the balance stored in the storage unit 10 connected to the arithmetic control unit 12 (S118). The purpose of this determination is, for example, if the balance stored in the card 11 is
Alternatively, it is to confirm whether or not the data has been rewritten by an unauthorized use of a card user (a garbage disposal requester). If both balances are equal and YES, then
It is determined whether or not the balance stored in the card 11 is greater than the disposal fee for the garbage 2 (S120). If the balance is greater than the disposal fee and YES is determined, the disposal fee is subtracted from the previous balance. To calculate this balance. Then, the card reader / writer of the exit-side operation unit 38 stores the current balance in both the card 11 and the storage unit 10 and erases the previous balance from both the card 11 and the storage unit 10 (S122).

26). When receiving the alarm signal, the arithmetic and control unit 12 stores the details of the abnormality. The contents of the abnormality can be confirmed by a waste disposal contractor, and the cause can be pursued with a waste disposal requester who is a card user.

Then, in step 120, the balance stored in the card 11 is smaller than the disposal fee and is NO.
If it is determined that the balance is insufficient, a signal indicating that the balance is insufficient is output to the arithmetic and control unit 12 (S128). When receiving the balance shortage signal, the arithmetic control unit 12 stores the content thereof. This content can be confirmed by the waste disposal contractor, and a shortage fee can be collected from the waste disposal requester who is the card user.

According to the vehicle-mounted article weighing apparatus according to the above-described embodiment, the refuse disposal requester collectively pays the garbage disposal fee to the refuse disposal contractor, and the refuse disposal contractor pays the lump sum. The stored fee is stored in the storage unit 10 connected to the arithmetic control unit 12 and the card 11, and the card 1
1 is passed to the refuse requester. When the refuse disposal client brings the refuse 2 to the incineration plant of the refuse disposal contractor, the disposal fee is deducted from the amount stored in the card 11. Therefore, this vehicle-mounted article weighing device does not require a toll collection machine, so the cost of the device is low, maintenance is easy, and there is no need to collect cash or check the balance. Can be reduced. Also, the driver of the truck 1 loaded with the refuse 2 does not need to handle cash, and the refuse disposal requester does not need to handle cash.
