CONSTITUTION:An entry part 41 is used to input data to be printed to a buffer register 22 through a controller 2 directly. or goods codes, goods names, unit prices, etc. are written preliminarily in a memory 5 to input goods names, unit prices, etc. to the buffer register 22 through the controller 2 in accordance with goods codes inputted from the entry part 41. The goods weighed by a weigher 11 is sent to a label sticking device 14 by a carrying part 3. weighed data obtained from the weigher 11 and set data such as a shop name are sent to a shift register 21 from the buffer register and are printed by a label printer 13, and a label is stuck to the goods by the label sticking device 14.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a weighing/printing system that measures an item and prints data such as the weight of the item using a series of systems.

In general, the weighing printing system uses a weighing device θυ as shown in Figure 1.
and packaging equipment, label printer 0 and label pasting equipment u
4, each device (Yu(, 1 Ka(1)
Connect with 3) and package the item A weighed with weighing machine [ma])! (6), the item's unit price, iii, price, etc. are printed on the label using the label printer (to), and the label is attached to the item using the label pasting device Q4. Also, at this time, the data to be printed on the label is sent to the shift register (21) via the control device (2).
), the shift register H is shifted in synchronization with the transport of the item, and the label printer 0 prints at the timing when the item and the data match. However, when weighing items that do not require packaging, there is no need to install the packaging device (2).
Furthermore, if it is possible to print directly on a packaged item or an unpackaged item, there is no need to use a label pasting device, and a simple printer may be used instead of the label printer α1.

In this conventional tray system, when printing the product name with a printer, a product name stamp attached to the removable position inside the printer is used, and the printer and label pasting device are located at the right end as shown in Figure 1. Therefore, each time the type of item changes, the items on the transport section are forcibly transferred, and after the item names have been printed on those items and all have been ejected, the item name stamp in the printer is replaced with the new item name. It was necessary to replace the stamp with a new one and operate the conveyance unit again, resulting in very poor work efficiency. In addition, although it is equipped with a function to print data such as the price of each item being transported on the label,
It was not equipped with C1Il functionality to calculate and print the total total or subtotal for each type of transported item or the total total or subtotal for each store name to which the item was delivered, so it was inconvenient to tally by item name or store name. was there.

This 6 yen proposal was made in consideration of the conventional circumstances described in L, and it is possible to obtain a weighing printing system that eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional method by using a configuration that can print the product name without using a product name stamp. A further object of the present invention is to provide a measurement printing system that can perform aggregation for each product name or store name.

This invention uses a dot printer that can freely print not only numbers but also characters other than numbers in the weighing printing system as described above, and allows product names and store names to be input into the printer at the same time as data such as unit prices. This is the main feature, and it is also capable of printing subtotal calculations when there is a change in product name or store name, and will be explained in more detail below based on the drawings.

FIG. 2 shows one embodiment of the present invention, and shows software or hardware functions as a block diagram.

In Figure 2, the data to be printed is transferred to the buffer register 0 through the direct control bag opening (2) using the approximate number part (4g).
2, or write the product code, product name, unit price, etc. in the memory (5) in advance, and then write it in the number section (41).
Depending on the product code input from the controller, the product name, unit price, etc. of the corresponding product are input to the buffer register via the control device (2).

In addition, in the conveyance section (3), the pushing device σp is controlled by the control device +1171 (2
) Based on the balance stability signal po input to the controller @(
1 every time the start signal pb output by 2) is input.
It progresses in pinches and transfers the items placed on it. The shift register is provided with a data flag area (21a), a setting data area (2l b), and a measurement data area (21c), and when there is data in the other two areas, the data flag area (21a) is The data flag Da is set, and when there is no data flag, the flag is set down. In the setting data area (21b), in addition to the conventionally used unit price and effective date of the item, setting data D regarding the item name and the name of the store to which the item is delivered is stored.
b is stored. The measurement data area (21c) stores measurement data (ffiffi, price, etc.) Dc regarding ff1ffi of the item transferred from the pusher 0υ. A set of these three data flags Da, setting data Db, and weighing data Dc is transferred to the transport unit in synchronization with the movement of the item on the transport unit (3), that is, as the transport unit (3) moves. (3) The shift register g11n is sequentially shifted according to the timing pulse Pa output by the printer 0' so that the item A and the data corresponding to the item A match.
J and the label pasting device α→ are activated. As the label printer, a dot printer (for example, a thermal printer) that can print characters freely is used, and the product name or store name is converted into characters and printed by the printer.

Weighing data Dc from l) [(FJ12 obtained when l is stable) At the same time, the press chamber constant signal Pc is
When the start signal Pb is input to L, 120, the start signal Pb is input to the transport section (3), and when the transport section (3) operates, the timing pulse Pa is output, so the above measurement data and other data are used as shift registers. The transport section (3) transports the goods forward by one pitch. Then, when items are weighed one after another, their weighing data shifts (F4)
At the same time, those items are also transferred, and when the items reach the pasting device Q4, the weighing data and setting data of the items stored in the right end of the shift register C21+ are transferred to the printer W.
Press + to print on the label (F6), and apply the label to the pasting device α.

bring down a. In addition, to perform this pasting work, you need a pasting device! Q41
The item must be at the position, and the sensor (6) is used to detect the position.When there is a detection signal pd from the sensor (6) and the data flag Da in the shift register is set, Printer θ4 and pasting device ffl (14
1 is activated (FsQ.

Therefore, until the first item reaches the applicator α4, and if the item is removed during transportation, the detection signal P
Since d is not output, the printer θ and pasting device (+1) do not operate.Changes to setting data such as product name can be made using the numeral section t.
This can be done at any time using the AT+'s numeric keypad, etc., and if there are changes, you can continue the work without interrupting by simply changing the contents of the buffer register (2) as you like (Fa
1).

In addition, the batting key (4: IG) in Fig. 2 is a key used (turned ON) at the end of work, and is used so that when the last item is weighed, the items are fed one after another even without the start signal pb.
When the J transport section (3) is activated and all the items have been transferred, the system is stopped (F41).

Even if Fig. 2 is used as a hardware block circuit, it can be assumed that the system operates in the order shown in the flowchart for the third factor, and the control 1pJl system fif (2
) at a predetermined timing (see Figure 3)
Upon completion of L printing, the printer (11) outputs a print completion signal Pk, which activates the pasting device 0→ and lowers the data flag of the print data in the shift register (21).

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the product name and store name are set and shifted, but it is also possible to set and shift only either the product name or the store name.

When the weighing printing system is operated in a groove manner as described above, there is no need to press the end key every time the item name or store name is changed, eject all the items before the change, and then load the next item. This allows for measurement printing work and increases cropping efficiency.

By the way, in the 31-nail printing system configured as described above, it would be more convenient if the totals and subtotals for similar product names and store names could be known. Therefore, a block diagram of the functions on the software and hardware when subtotal and total total calculation printing means are added is shown in FIG.

In FIG. 4, the subtotal memory (51) is provided with a product name and store name area (51a) and a subtotal area (51b), which are printed each time the printer (11) operates as described above. The weight and price of each product are added sequentially and stored in the subtotal area (51b).The product name and store name are stored in the product name and store name area (51a), and the product name and/or store name of the product that has reached rα and pasting device α, which will be described later, is stored in the subtotal area (51b). If the stored contents differ from the contents stored in this area (51a), the stored contents are updated.In addition, since nothing is stored in this area (51a) at first, F2 in the flowchart of FIG. Buffer register (2)
Store the product name and store name stored in step 2. The total memory (52) contains the total area (52) by product name.
a) and a store name separate total area (52b) are provided, and each time a subtotal (described later) is printed, its weight 1 and price subtotal are added sequentially, and the subtotal is stored by product name and store name. The contents of the total memory (51) are stored in the journal printer (

The total memory (52) is the total,
After the total is printed, it is cleared by the print completion signal P fXP g output by the journal printer.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, only either the product name or the store name can be set and shifted. In this case, it is only necessary to determine whether or not the product name or store name to be set or shifted has been changed.

As explained above, this invention does not use a product name stamp and can print labels continuously even if the product name changes, so it has the effect of increasing work efficiency. 't! In addition, each time there is a change in product name or store name, the weight of the product weighed before the change is automatically updated.
Sub-totals such as prices, etc.) are printed out, and furthermore, when the work is completed, the total amount for each product name, etc. is printed out, making tabulation work extremely easy.
