Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gas station management system, and more particularly to a gas station management system suitable for performing self-fueling.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, a plurality of weighing machines are installed in a gas station or the like. Each weighing machine is provided with a refueling nozzle for regular gasoline, high-octane gasoline, and light oil. In such a refueling station, when a customer's vehicle arrives for refueling, the driver himself inserts a refueling nozzle of an oil type according to the engine specification into the fuel tank refueling port and is stored in an underground tank. It has been studied to perform so-called self-fueling in which the fuel oil is supplied to the fuel tank.

[0003] When self-refueling is carried out at a gas station, a driver entering the gas station moves to an empty fueling area of a weighing machine without the guidance of a worker, and moves the vehicle in front of the weighing machine. The vehicle is stopped and the driver himself performs refueling work. Each weighing machine is managed by the POS system, and when the oiling nozzle of the oil type of the vehicle is removed from the nozzle hook, the weighing machine becomes “refueling”, the fueling is completed, and the oiling nozzle is returned to the nozzle hook. And "refueling end".

[0004] In the POS system, a refueling amount, a refueling oil type, a refueling oil type, and the like from a POS terminal installed in an office of a gas station.
A slip containing refueling data, such as refueling charges, is issued for refueling charge settlement.
When refueling data is transmitted to the OS terminal, a slip is automatically issued. Therefore, when the self-refueling is completed, the driver moves the vehicle to the office of the gas station, pays the gasoline fee described on the slip, and leaves the gas station.

[0005]

However, when self-refueling, in which the driver himself performs refueling work, is carried out, there are no workers at the refueling station, and the customer who has finished refueling does not pay the refueling fee without paying the refueling fee. You can leave.
In addition, as a customer's payment method, there are a prepaid system in which a refueling fee is paid before refueling with a prepaid card or the like and a postpay method in which a refueling fee is paid after refueling, and either one of the two methods must be selected. . In addition, you have to choose whether to pay your refueling fee in cash or with a prepaid card or credit card.

In particular, in the case of a post-pay system in which a refueling fee is paid after refueling, there is a possibility that the vehicle will leave the gas station without paying the refueling fee after refueling, and it is necessary to regulate the movement of vehicles until the refueling fee is paid. However, if the prepayment method in which the refueling fee is paid before refueling is selected, it is necessary to restrict the movement of the vehicle until the refueling ends.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to switch the response at the gas station side according to the driver's payment method. However,
If a worker for confirming the payment method of each driver is arranged in each weighing machine, there is no point in performing self-refueling. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a gas station management system that solves the above problems.

[0008]

The present invention has the following features to solve the above-mentioned problems. The present invention described above,
In a refueling station management system that refuels with a refueling nozzle of a weighing machine, issues a slip describing the amount of refueling and the amount of refueling according to the type of refueling and performs liquidation, it is provided in a refueling area where refueling can be performed by the weighing machine. Departure prevention means for preventing a vehicle stopped in the refueling area from departure, payment method identification means for identifying whether the refueling amount payment method is a postpaid payment method or a prepaid payment method, and settlement of the refueling amount Liquidation end detection means for detecting whether or not the refueling has been completed; refueling end detection means for detecting whether refueling by the refueling nozzle of the weighing machine has been completed; and In the case of, the prevention of departure of the vehicle by the departure prevention means is released based on the settlement end signal of the settlement end detection means, and the identification result by the payment method identification means In the case of a fee prepaid method, there is provided departure prevention release control means for releasing the departure prevention of the vehicle by the departure prevention means based on a refueling end signal of the refueling end detection means. Things.

Therefore, according to the present invention, when the result of identification by the payment method identification means is a postpaid payment method, the departure prevention of the vehicle by the departure prevention means is canceled based on the settlement end signal of the settlement end detection means, If the identification result by the payment method identification means is the advance payment method, the stoppage of the vehicle by the departure prevention means is released based on the refueling end signal of the refueling end detection means, so the refueling fee is not settled regardless of the payment method. Therefore, the vehicle cannot be departed from the gas station and the vehicle is prevented from leaving until the refueling fee is paid, so that the driver can be prevented from escaping without paying the refueling fee.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing one embodiment of a refueling station management system according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a weighing machine. The gas station, a plurality of the weighing machine ₁ 1 to 1 _n for self lubrication, a POS terminal 2 for managing the fueling data for each weighing machine ₁ 1 to 1 _n, each weighing machine ₁ 1 to 1 _n and POS A communication control device 3 for communicating with the terminal 2 is provided.

The POS terminal 2 has a printer 4 for issuing a slip on which refueling data is printed in the case of a post-pay system in which a refueling fee is paid after refueling. The communication control unit 3 includes a control device 5 for managing fueling data from the weighing machine 1 ₁ to 1 _n, a display device 6 consisting of a CRT display, and a more input device 7 consisting of a keyboard. The communication control device 3 is connected to the POS terminal 2 by a communication cable, transmits refueling data from each of the weighing machines ₁₁ to 1 _n to the POS terminal 2, and outputs a signal from the POS terminal 2. each weighed (fueling permission signal) machine ₁ 1 to 1
Send to _n .

The memory of the control device 5 has a clearing end detection control program (clearing end detecting means) for detecting the completion of refueling charge settlement after refueling, and a program for detecting when the refueling charge settlement is detected. A departure prevention release control program (departure prevention release means) for releasing the departure prevention of the vehicle by the departure prevention device 10 is stored. In the memory of the control device 5, a payment method identification control program (payment method identification means) for identifying whether the payment method is a postpaid payment method or a prepaid payment method, and clearing when the identification result is the postpaid payment method A departure prevention release control program (departure prevention release means) for releasing departure prevention of the vehicle based on the signal and releasing departure prevention of the vehicle based on the refueling end signal when the identification result is the advance payment method; Is stored.

[0013] Therefore, the driver who has self-refueled,
Unless the refueling fee is settled, the vehicle cannot be exited from the gas station, and the vehicle is prevented from leaving by the departure prevention device 10 until the refueling fee is paid, thereby preventing the driver from escaping without paying. Each refueling area, the weighing machine 1 ₁ to 1 _n, the setter 8 ₁ to 8 _n for the driver to set the amount of oil and type of oil, the vehicle detector 9 ₁ to 9 _n, Desha prevention device ( Departure prevention means) 10
Prepaid card reader / writer 11 ₁ which subtracts the current refueling fee from the balance of the prepaid card, ₁ to 10 _n
To 11 and _n, credit card of the card registration number, and the card reader 12 ₁ ~12 _n to read the membership number of the registered name or a cash card, refueling data in the case of Posutopei system to pay a refueling fee after refueling (refueling amount, refueling and the printer 13 ₁ to 13 _n for billing the charges) issues a voucher which is printed, and a display device 14 ₁ to 14 _n for displaying the fueling data and payment method and the like.

The driver selects one of a prepaid system in which a refueling fee is paid by a prepaid card before self-refueling, a credit system in which a refueling fee is paid by a credit card, and a postpay system in which cash is paid after refueling. It must be clear whether to liquidate the refueling fee in advance any payment method. Therefore, each weighing machine 1 ₁
In ~1 _n, prepaid card reader / writer 1
If 1 ₁ to 11 _n or a prepaid card or a credit card or cash card by the card reader 12 ₁ to 12 _n is read, the payment method of fueling rates as described later are automatically set.

In each of the weighing machines 1 ₁ to 1 _n , the payment method can be fixed to either the prepaid method or the postpay method. For example, the prepaid method is set in an area where there are many customers of the prepaid method. In an area where there are many customers of the post-pay system, the post-pay system can be set. Further, each of the weighing machines 1 ₁ to 1 _n is provided with a timer setting function for setting so that the prepayment method and the postpay method are automatically switched depending on the time zone. For example, in the nighttime when the number of customers decreases, non-payment of the refueling fee is likely to occur. Therefore, the prepayment method and the postpay method are used together until 7:00 p.m., and after 7:00 p.m., the setting can be switched to only the prepayment method.

Each of the vehicle detectors 9 _{1 to} 9 _n is constituted by a reflection type optical sensor or the like. When the vehicle to be refueled arrives at the refueling area, the vehicle detects the light by irradiating the body of the vehicle and reflecting the light. It is to detect. Here, the weighing machine 1 ₁ to 1 _n and outgoing vehicles preventing device provided around the 10
₁ to 10 _n will be described. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of the weighing machine 1 and the departure prevention device 9 installed in one fueling area.

The weighing machine 1 is provided with three oil supply paths of different oil types on the front side and the rear side. Oil supply hoses 15a to 15c and oil supply nozzles 16a to 16 are provided for each oil supply path.
c, nozzle hooks 17a to 17c are provided. still,
In the present embodiment, the refueling nozzle 16a is used for high octane, the refueling nozzle 16b is used for regular, and the refueling nozzle 16c is used for light oil. In addition, a vehicle detector 9 for detecting a vehicle arriving at the refueling area is provided in front of the weighing machine 1. Then, when performing self-fueling, the driver removes the fueling nozzles 16a to 16c from the nozzle hooks 17a to 17c and inserts them into a fueling port (not shown) of the vehicle to perform fueling.

[0018] In the housing of the weighing machine 1, a refueling hose 1 is provided.
5a to 15c are inserted into the underground tank via a liquid feed pipe (not shown). An oil supply pump, a flow meter, and the like are provided in the middle of the liquid feed pipe. At the entrance side of the weighing machine 1, there is provided an indicator light 18 indicating the number of the refueling area and the type of refuelable oil. Also, at the outlet side of the weighing machine 1, a maintenance tool storage unit 19 for storing maintenance tools such as glass wiping, a prepaid card reader / writer 11, a card reader 12, and a printer 1 are provided.
3. A terminal unit 20 in which the display device 14 is housed is provided.

A control device (not shown) provided in the weighing machine 1 is configured such that the refueling nozzles 16a to 16c
When a signal is input from the nozzle switch after being removed from the nozzle 17c, the oil supply pump is activated to pump up the oil liquid in the underground tank. When the operation levers of the refueling nozzles 16a to 16c are operated in the valve opening direction, refueling is started, the flow rate pulses output from the flow meter are integrated, and the display device 14 displays the refueling amount.

The departure prevention device 10 includes a tire stopping mechanism 21 provided before and after a vehicle stop space 28 formed in front of the weighing machine 1 and a circuit breaker 22 provided in front of the vehicle stop space 28. Become. The tire stopper mechanism 21 includes a tire stopper 23 made of an iron plate and an air cylinder 24 for rotating the tire stopper 23. The "stop position" is written on the surface of the tire stopper 23 so that the driver can see it.

The air cylinder 24 is provided in the vehicle stop space 2
When the vehicle arrives at 8, the vehicle is driven to rotate the tire stopper 23 vertically upright from the ground, thereby preventing the vehicle arriving at the vehicle stop space 28 from moving the tire. Also,
After the refueling fee has been settled, the tire stopper 23 is driven by the air cylinder 24 to rotate in a horizontal state parallel to the ground, thereby canceling the movement of the vehicle arriving at the vehicle stop space 28.

The circuit breaker 22 is provided on a pole 25 that stands upright from the driver's seat of the vehicle, a stop bar 26 that is rotatably supported on the upper end of the pole 25, and is provided on the upper end of the pole 25. And a rotating patrol light 27. The stop bar 26 is prominently painted, for example, in fluorescent red. Further, the stop bar 26 is supported vertically and stored inside the pole 25 until the vehicle arrives,
When the vehicle arrives at the vehicle stop space 28, the stop bar 26
Is turned horizontally to notify the driver of the vehicle of the stop position, and the rotary patrol light 27 is lit to call the driver's attention.

FIGS. 3 and 4 are flowcharts for explaining the processing executed by the control device 5. Control device 5
Checks whether the vehicle has arrived at the vehicle stop space 28 provided in front of the weighing machine 1 in step S1 (hereinafter, "step" is omitted). That is, in S1, when the vehicle is detected by the vehicle detector 9, it is determined that the vehicle has arrived at the vehicle stop space 28, and the process proceeds to S2, where the display device indicates that the customer's vehicle has arrived at the vehicle stop space 28. 6 is displayed.

In the next S3, the clearing flag PF is set to an initial value of 0.
Is assigned. Subsequently, the process proceeds to S4, where the settlement flag PF = 0.
Check if it is. If the settlement flag PF = 0 in S4, the process proceeds to S5, and it is checked whether the prepaid card has been inserted into the prepaid card reader / writer 11. If the prepaid card is inserted into the prepaid card reader / writer 11 in S5, the process proceeds to the next S6, and the clearing method is set to the prepaid method by setting the clearing flag PF to 1. And S7
To preset the balance stored in the prepaid card. In the next S8, the refueling customer determines the oil type, quantity (or amount)
And make sure that the setting complete key is pressed.

If the prepaid card is not inserted into the prepaid card reader / writer 11 in S5, the process proceeds to S9 to determine whether the card reader 12 has read the card registration number stored in the credit card. . When the card registration number stored in the credit card is read by the card reader 12 in S9, the card credit is checked whether the card registration number of the credit card read by the card reader 12 is usable.

Since the card reader 12 is configured to read the magnetically recorded card registration number by passing through a credit card, a card return operation is not required. Then, when the credit card is usable, the process proceeds to S11, sets the settlement flag PF to 2, sets the settlement method to the credit card method, and then proceeds to S8. When the credit card is unusable in S10, the fact that the credit card cannot be used is displayed on the display devices 6 and 14 to notify the driver and the operator of the gas station. In this case, it is necessary to switch to a payment method other than a credit card.

If the credit card is not read by the card reader 12 in S9, the process proceeds to S13 to check whether or not the member number stored in the cash card is read by inserting the cash card into the card reader 12. To check. When the member number stored in the cash card can be read by the card reader 12 in S13,
Proceeding to the next S14, the clearing method is set to cash (post-pay method) by setting the clearing flag PF to 3. If the account number stored in the cash card cannot be read by the card reader 12 in S13, the process shifts to S8 and switches to another payment method.

Since the cash card has the same configuration as the credit card, the card return operation is not required. If S8
No cards have been passed when reaching (PF =
If 0), it is assumed that cash payment (no cash card) has been temporarily selected. If the “setting completion key” is not pressed after waiting for a certain period of time, the process returns to S4, and the processing after S4 is repeated. When the "setting completion key" is pressed in S8, the process proceeds to S15, and it is confirmed whether or not the setting of the payment method is canceled.

In S15, when the cancel switch is operated, the flow shifts to S16, where it is checked whether the settlement flag PF is "1". If the clearing flag PF = 1 in S16, the prepaid card is returned in S17 and the process returns to S3. In S17, the clearing flag PF =
If it is not 1, the process returns to S3 without returning the card. If there is no cancellation instruction in S15,
Proceeding to S18, it is checked whether the refueling nozzle 16 has been removed from the nozzle hook 17. When the nozzle switch (not shown) of the nozzle holder 17 is turned off, it is determined that the refueling nozzle 16 has been removed from the nozzle holder 17 and S1
Go to 9 and settle flag PF = 1 or settle flag PF = 2
Check if is set.

When the clearing flag PF = 1 or the clearing flag PF = 2 is set in S19, payment of the refueling fee can be confirmed before refueling, so that it is not necessary to prevent the vehicle from leaving. Therefore, in S20, the driver is confirmed by the display device 14 or by voice output that the payment method is the prepay method without operating the departure prevention device 10, and in the next S21, the payment method is the prepay method. This is displayed on the display device 6 to inform the worker of the gas station.

Then, the driver operates the fueling nozzle 1 of the weighing machine 1.
When 6 is removed from the nozzle hook 17 and a signal from the nozzle switch is input, the oil supply pump is started in S22 to pump up the oil liquid in the underground tank. Further, when the operation lever of the refueling nozzle 16 is operated in the valve opening direction, refueling is started, the flow rate pulse output from the flow meter is integrated, and the refueling amount is displayed on the display device 14.

In S23, it is checked whether or not the refueling nozzle 16 has been returned to the nozzle holder 17. When the nozzle switch of the nozzle holder 17 is turned on, the refueling nozzle 16 is returned to the nozzle holder 17 and the refueling is completed. Judge that you have done. However, when the nozzle switch of the nozzle hook 17 is off, the refueling nozzle 16
7 has not been returned, so it is determined that refueling is in progress and S2
Return to 2.

At S19, the clearing flag PF = 1
Or, when the clearing flag PF = 2 is not set, in other words, a post-pay method using cash (when there is a cash card: when the clearing flag PF = 1, or when there is no cash card:
When (PF = 0) is set, there is a possibility that the vehicle will be departed without paying the refueling fee after refueling. Therefore, the flow shifts to S24 to activate the departure prevention device 10 to prevent the vehicle from moving. That is, the pneumatic cylinder 24 of the tire stopper mechanism 21 is driven to rotate the tire stopper 23 vertically upright from the ground, thereby preventing the vehicle stopped in the vehicle stop space 28 from moving the tire, and The stop bar 26 is rotated and displaced horizontally, and the rotary patrol light 27 is turned on to notify the driver that the vehicle cannot move. This makes it impossible for the vehicle stopped in the vehicle stop space 28 to move, thereby preventing non-payment of the refueling fee.

In the next step S25, the display device 14 displays that the payment method is the post-pay method using cash and prompts the driver to confirm. In step S26, the display device 6 displays that the payment method is the post-pay method using cash. To inform the service station worker. Thereafter, the process proceeds to the refueling process in S22 described above. In S27 of FIG. 4, the settlement flag PF
It is checked whether or not = 1 is set. When the settlement flag PF = 1 is set, it is a prepayment method using a prepaid card, and it is not necessary to cancel the departure prevention by the departure prevention device 10. , Proceed to S28,
A slip in which refueling data is described is issued from the printer 13. Subsequently, in S29, the prepaid card in which the refueling fee is subtracted from the balance is returned.

In step S27, the settlement flag P
If F = 1 has not been set, the flow shifts to S30, where it is checked whether the settlement flag PF = 2 has been set. If the clearing flag PF = 2 is set in S30, it is a prepayment method using a credit card, and it is not necessary to cancel the departure prevention by the departure prevention device 10, so the process proceeds to S31 and refueling data is described. The issued slip is issued from the printer 13.

In S30, the settlement flag P
When F = 2 is not set, the clearing flag PF = 3
Is determined to have been set, the flow shifts to S32, and cash settlement is performed. That is, when the driver pays the refueling fee at the refueling office, the driver causes the printer 4 to issue a slip including the refueling data in S33. And S34
Then, the departure prevention by the departure prevention device 10 is released by liquidation of the refueling fee. That is, the tire stopper 23 of the departure prevention device 10 is driven by the air cylinder 24 to rotate in a horizontal state parallel to the ground, so that the vehicle stop space 28
To stop the movement of the vehicle arriving at
The second stop bar 26 is housed in the pole 25, and the rotary patrol light 27 is turned off to inform the driver that it is possible to get out. Thus, the departure prevention at the refueling point is released, and the driver can drive the vehicle and leave the refueling station.

After the refueling fee is settled by either the prepay method or the postpay method as described above, the display of the refueling point payment method is terminated in S35. After that, in S36, the display device 6 displays the settlement completion at the refueling point. In the next S37, it is checked whether or not the vehicle has left the vehicle stop space. That is, in S37, the vehicle detector 9
When the vehicle is no longer detected, the vehicle stops space 2
8, it is determined that the vehicle has left, and the process proceeds to S38, where the display device 6 displays that the customer's vehicle has left the vehicle stop space 28. This completes a series of self-refueling processes.

As described above, when the refueling fee is paid in cash after refueling, the departure prevention device 10 is used until the refueling fee is cleared.
Is operated to prevent the vehicle from moving, so that the driver cannot leave the gas station unless the refueling fee is settled, thereby preventing the driver from escaping without paying the refueling fee. 5 and 6
9 is a flowchart for explaining a first modification of the processing executed by the control device 5. In FIGS. 5 and 6,
3 and 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

When the vehicle is detected by the vehicle detector 9 in S1, the control device 5 proceeds to S2 and causes the display device 6 to display that the customer's vehicle has arrived at the vehicle stop space 28. Subsequently, in S2a, the departure prevention device 10 is operated to prevent the vehicle from moving as in S24 described above. That is, the air cylinder 24 of the tire stopper mechanism 21 is driven to rotate the tire stopper 23 vertically upright from the ground to prevent the vehicle stopped in the vehicle stop space 28 from moving the tire, and to prevent the tire breaker 22 from moving. The stop bar 26 is rotated and displaced horizontally, and the rotary patrol light 27 is turned on to notify the driver that the vehicle cannot move.

The subsequent processing of S3 to S23 and S25 to S33 is the same as the processing of FIGS. 3 and 4 described above. After the refueling fee has been settled by either the prepay method or the postpay method, the process proceeds to S34,
The departure prevention by the departure prevention device 10 is canceled by the settlement of the refueling fee. That is, when the tire stopper 23 of the departure prevention device 10 is driven by the air cylinder 24 to rotate in a horizontal state parallel to the ground, the movement arrest of the vehicle arriving at the vehicle stop space 28 is released, and The stop bar 26 is stored in the pole 25 and the rotary patrol light 27 is turned off to inform the driver that it is possible to get out.

Thus, the departure prevention at the refueling point is released, and the driver can drive the vehicle and leave the refueling station. Note that the processing in S35 to S38 is the same as the processing in FIGS. 3 and 4 described above. As described above, regardless of the payment method, when the customer's vehicle arrives at the vehicle stop space 28, the departure prevention device 10 is operated to prevent departure. By canceling the departure prevention by the device 10, the driver can be prevented from running away without paying the refueling fee.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining a second modification of the processing executed by the control device 5. In FIG. 7, the same parts as those in the above-described processes of FIGS. 3 and 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. The processing of S1 to S18 is the same as the processing of FIGS. 3 and 4 described above. When the refueling nozzle 16 is removed from the nozzle hook 17 and the nozzle switch (not shown) is turned off in S18, the control device 5 proceeds to S18a and activates the departure prevention device 10 to prevent the vehicle from moving. I do. That is, the pneumatic cylinder 24 of the tire stopper mechanism 21 is driven to rotate the tire stopper 23 vertically upright from the ground, thereby preventing the vehicle stopped in the vehicle stop space 28 from moving the tire, and The stop bar 26 is rotated and displaced horizontally, and the rotary patrol light 27 is turned on to notify the driver that the vehicle cannot move.

The subsequent processing of S19 to S23 is the same as the processing of FIGS. 3 and 4 described above. When the refueling fee is paid by the prepaid card, in S23, when the refueling nozzle 16 is returned to the nozzle hook 17 and the nozzle switch is turned on, it is determined that refueling has been completed, and the process proceeds to S24. 10 is released.

As described above, in the case of liquidation by the prepayment method, the refueling nozzle 16 is removed from the nozzle hook 17 and the departure prevention device 10 is operated to prevent the vehicle from leaving. When it is returned, the departure prevention by the departure prevention device 10 is released. Therefore, during self-refueling by the prepayment method, the vehicle departure prevention device 10 prevents the vehicle from leaving the vehicle. Damage can be prevented.

When the refueling fee is settled by the post-pay method, the refueling nozzle 16 is removed from the nozzle hook 17 and the departure prevention device 10 is operated to prevent departure. In S25, the payment method is cash. The post-pay system is displayed on the display device 14 to make the driver confirm it. Subsequently, in S26, the display device 6 displays that the payment system is the cash post-pay system to notify the worker of the gas station. Then, the refueling process is performed in S22a,
At 23a, it is confirmed that the refueling nozzle 16 has been returned to the nozzle hook 17. Also, if you pay by postpay method,
Since the refueling fee is paid after refueling, even if the refueling nozzle 16 is returned to the nozzle hook 17, the departure prevention device 10 keeps the departure prevention.

Thereafter, as described above, the processing S2 of FIG.
7 to S38 are executed. Therefore, when liquidating by the post-pay method, after the refueling fee is settled in cash in S32,
At 33, a slip is issued, and at S34, the departure prevention of the vehicle by the departure prevention device 10 is released, and the vehicle can be exited. As described above, when liquidation is performed by the prepayment method, the refueling nozzle 16 is used.
Is detected when it is removed from the nozzle hanger 17, and when the refueling nozzle 16 is returned to the nozzle hanger 17, the departure prevention is cancelled. When it is detected that the vehicle 16 has been removed from the nozzle hook 17, the vehicle is prevented from being departed. After the refueling fee is settled, the driver is not paid for the refueling fee by releasing the departure prevention by the departure prevention device 10. It is possible to prevent the runaway as it is.

In the above-described embodiment, the above-described ground-type oil supply device has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is needless to say that the present invention can be applied to a suspension-type oil supply device that raises and lowers an oil supply nozzle.

[0048]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the result of identification by the payment method identification means is the postpayment method, the departure prevention means prevents the vehicle from leaving the vehicle based on the settlement end signal of the settlement end detection means. If the result of identification by the payment method identification means is a prepaid method, the prevention of departure of the vehicle by the departure prevention means is released based on the refueling end signal of the refueling end detection means. Unless the fare is settled, the vehicle cannot be exited from the gas station, and the vehicle is prevented from leaving until the refueling fee is paid, thereby preventing the driver from escaping without paying the refueling fee.
