Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a gas station mainly using fuel oil to be supplied to an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In addition to fuel oil, service stations that mainly supply fuel oil to automobiles provide maintenance and cleaning services for automobiles, and also sell snacks for drivers and the like. Equipment for this maintenance and cleaning service
It is provided adjacent to the weighing machine in the refueling area. By providing each equipment in the refueling area in this way, there is an advantage that various services can be performed continuously with refueling, but not all customers require these services. There is an inconvenience that the refueling efficiency deteriorates after waiting. In a conventional gas station, work efficiency is low because a plurality of persons perform refueling and various services for one vehicle. Therefore, in order to increase work efficiency and save manpower, workers perform refueling with dangerous work,
So-called semi-self-service gas stations, where customers perform tasks such as settlement, are becoming widespread. Also, snacks are placed in a narrow part of the checkout area. Since the place where the product is placed is narrow and limited in this way, many of the products desired by the customer cannot be placed, and there is a disadvantage that sales opportunities are missed.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention is to provide a refueling station that is safe, has high working efficiency, saves labor, provides sufficient service to customers, and does not miss an opportunity to sell products. is there.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a fueling station according to the present invention is provided with a refueling area provided with a weighing machine for supplying fuel oil of an automobile, and maintenance equipment and cleaning equipment for the automobile. A service area, a product display area where products are arranged, a data input / output device connected to each device provided in the refueling area and the service area are provided, and a settlement area provided adjacent to the product display area. Having. In this way, each dedicated area was set up, and in the refueling area with dangerous work, workers refueled, and customers paid out, so that a safe, efficient and highly labor-saving refueling station was established. Become. In addition, since a service area is provided separately from the refueling area, the service station can be serviced with sufficient time until the customer is satisfied. further,
In the product display area, you can place many kinds of products,
It will be a refueling station where you never miss an opportunity to sell products.

A kerosene refueling area is provided adjacent to the service area, and a weighing machine provided in the kerosene refueling area is connected to a data input / output device. Can also be accommodated.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the refueling station of the present invention includes a refueling area 1, a service area 2, and a kerosene refueling area 3.
, A commodity display area 4 and a settlement area 5. The commodity display area 4 and the settlement area 5 are provided in a building 6.

In the refueling area 1, a plurality of weighing machines 7 capable of replenishing a plurality of oil types are provided. These are connected to a data input / output device 8 provided in the settlement area 5, and the output of the data input / output device 8 A refueling state indicator 9 which is operated on the outer wall of the building 6 is provided.

[0008] The customer who has refueled stops in front of the weighing machine 7, and when a worker at the gas station removes the refueling nozzle 7 a of the weighing machine 7, a refueling request signal is sent from the weighing machine 7 to the data input / output device 8. Convey. When the clerk in the settlement area 5 confirms safety and permits refueling, a refueling permission signal is transmitted from the data input / output device 8 to the weighing machine 7, and the weighing machine 7 is in a refuelable state. at the same time,
A lighting signal is transmitted from the data input / output device 8 to the refueling status indicator 9, and the lamp 9b of the corresponding weighing machine number 9a of the refueling status indicator 9 is turned on. The worker inserts the refueling nozzle 7a into the refueling port of the automobile, opens the valve of the refueling nozzle 7a, and starts refueling.

When the valve is full and the valve is closed,
A refueling stop signal is transmitted from the weighing machine 7 to the data input / output device 8, a blinking signal is transmitted from the data input / output device 8 to the refueling status indicator 9, and the lamp 9b blinks to notify the worker of refueling stop. When the worker removes the refueling nozzle 7a from the refueling port and puts it on the weighing machine 7 while watching the blinking of the lamp 9b, a refueling end signal is transmitted from the weighing machine 7 to the data input / output device 8 together with the refueling data. A light-up signal is transmitted to the refueling status indicator 9 from the, and the lamp 9b is turned on to notify the worker that adjustment is being performed.

[0010] The customer goes to the settlement area 5, notifies the manager of the weighing machine number, and performs the settlement based on the slip issued from the data input / output device 8. When the settlement is completed, a turn-off signal is transmitted from the data input / output device 8 to the refueling state display 9, and the lamp 9b is turned off to notify the worker that the settlement has been completed.

As described above, the refueling work involving danger is performed by the workers at the refueling station, and the customer pays for the refueling, so that the refueling station is safe, has high working efficiency, and saves labor. Further, since the refueling stop is notified by the lamp 9b of the refueling status indicator 9, there is no problem even if other work is performed during refueling, and the refueling station has high work efficiency and saves labor. further,
Since the lamp 9b of the refueling state indicator 9 notifies that the payment has been completed, it is possible to prevent the user from leaving without performing the payment.
