JPS5825319Y2 - Weighing device - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to an electronic data processing device.

Conventionally, electronic price scales display the amount of the item to be weighed based on the weight value data output by electronic scales and the preset unit price and weight value. In order to record amount data, it was necessary to provide one recording device for each electronic fare scale.

Therefore, if you want to record multiple electronic scales, it will cost a lot of money, and the data recorded by individual scales will not be processed immediately; for example, it will be processed after the end of the day's operation. It was something that

Therefore, it is not suitable for cases where it is desired to immediately obtain data processing results such as the total weight of all scales, sales by product type, and total sales.

Therefore, this invention was made in view of the above drawbacks,
A measuring device is provided in which data output from a plurality of electronic scales is connected to one recording device and/or data processing device.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a measuring device according to the present invention, and B
1tB2...Bn are electronic toll scales, and when weighing is performed, a weighing value signal G1 corresponding to the weighing value,
G2...Gn, monetary value signals M1, M2...Mn corresponding to the monetary values of the objects to be weighed, and code signals C1, C2...Cn for indicating the weighing scales are output.

Reference numeral 1 designates a parallel data-serial data conversion unit, which is composed of a multiplexer unit 2 and a storage unit 3, and the multiplexer unit 2 receives the weight value signal G 1 outputted in parallel from the electronic fare scales B1°B2...Bn. , G2""Gn, amount value signal M1tM2...-Mn, and scale code signal C
1, C2...Cn, and select signal S from the outside.
Therefore, the electronic switches SW1, SW2, . . . SWn are switched in synchronization.

Therefore, the multiplexer section 2 is connected to the electronic fare scale B1.
, B2...Bn, which are output in parallel, are sequentially output in a time-division manner at approximately the same time.

The storage unit 3 immediately reads the output data from the multiplexer unit 2, temporarily stores it, and sequentially outputs it in series.

4 is a receipt printer, which inputs the output signal of the storage section 3;
Weighing value signals GlyG2... of the electronic fare scales B, , B2...Bn transmitted via the multiplexer section 2
Gn, amount value signal M1 9M2...Mn Scale code signal C1, C2...Cn is converted into a weight value, amount value, and scale code and printed.

Electronic switch SW19SW2 of multiplexer section 2...
・SWn scans in response to the selection signal S, and converts the weighing value signal G□, amount value signal M1, and scale code signal C1 of the electronic toll scale B1 into the weighing value signal G2 of the electronic toll scale B2.
, amount value signal M2, scale code signal C2, ... weighing value signal Gn of electronic fare scale Bn, amount value signal Mn
, scale code signal Cn are sequentially repeated and output to the storage unit 3.

Here, the storage unit 3 acts as an interface between the receipt printer 4, which takes time to print each data, and the electronic charge scales B1, B2, . Even if 4 is being printed, the data output from the multiplexer section 2 is reliably stored and sequentially output.

Note that even if the electronic fare scales B1, B2...Bn perform weighing at the same time, the electronic switches SW□, SW2...SWn of the multiplexer section 2 are scanned, so they are output in parallel. Each piece of data is output in a time-sharing manner at approximately the same time.

With this configuration, each time the receipt printer 4 completes printing, it retrieves the next print data from the storage unit 3 and prints it, thereby controlling the weight values and amount values output by multiple electronic fare scales. The code of the scale that was used is printed on a single receipt, and the operating status of each scale, sales, etc. can be immediately confirmed.

In the above embodiment, the electronic toll scale outputs a weighing value signal, an amount value signal, and a scale code signal, but together with these signals, it also outputs a code signal indicating the type of object to be weighed. If it is printed on a receipt printer, sales by product type can be obtained immediately.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a printed receipt.

In the above embodiment, the output signal of the storage section 3 is connected to the receipt printer 4, but it is also connected to the cash register and the data output from the electronic fare scales B□, B2...Bn is recorded and shuffled. A similar effect can be obtained by performing data processing.

As explained above, according to the present invention, there is provided a multiplexer section that sequentially outputs measurement-related data output from multiple electronic scales in parallel at almost the same time in a time-sharing manner, and A storage section that sequentially reads, temporarily stores, and outputs data sequentially, and a signal processing device that records and/or processes the output data of the storage section are provided, so each electronic scale has a signal processing device. It is possible to process data from multiple electronic scales without having to install one, and since one signal processing device can process data from multiple electronic scales, the operating status of each electronic scale can be immediately confirmed. It is possible.
