Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a refueling device equipped with a portable indicator that can be attached to a vehicle body.

Conventionally, at gas stations, there are refueling systems installed within the station (ground-mounted refueling systems) or refueling systems with refueling nozzles hanging from the ceiling (ceiling-suspended refueling systems), but in both cases, vehicles In some cases, the fuel level indicator was obstructed by the vehicle body and was in a blind spot, making it difficult for customers inside the vehicle to fully check the indicator.

The present invention was made to solve the above problems, and
To provide a refueling device that allows a person in a vehicle to check the amount of refueling even when a refueling amount indicator is in a blind spot position.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 (
a) shows an example in which the present invention is applied to a ceiling-suspended oil supply device. That is, a refueling motor 1 and a refueling pump 2 are installed in a building M of a gas station, and a pump 2 and a flow meter 4 are connected to a pipe 3 connected to an underground tank (not shown). A refueling nozzle 7 extending along the ceiling C of the refueling station and hanging down in the hose storage section 5
The hose 6 is connected to the hose 6, which is provided at the lower end. The flow meter 4 is provided with a transmitter 8 that generates an electric signal proportional to the amount of oil supplied, and one transmission line W0 emitted from the transmitter 8 is connected to a refueling amount indicator 9 installed at a high place on the wall of the building. connected.

The other transmission line W2 was wired along the ceiling C, and was further connected to a cord 10 hanging from the hose storage section 5 in parallel with the hose 6, and this cord 10 was installed inside the portable device. It is connected to a portable display meter 11.

Therefore, the amount of refueling that is supplied to the vehicle from the refueling nozzle 7 is measured by the flowmeter 4, and the amount of refueling is converted into an electrical signal by the transmitter 8 and sent to the transmission line W1. One of them is input to the refueling amount display via W2, and at the same time, it is input to the portable display meter 11 to display the refueling amount. Alternatively, a socket 14 may be provided at the lower end of the cord 10 suspended from the ceiling, and a plug 15 provided on the side of the portable display meter 11 may be inserted into the socket 14 and connected when necessary.

FIG. 1(b) shows the present invention applied to a ground-mounted refueling system. In this case, the refueling machine body 13 installed on the ground is equipped with a transmitter 8 that converts the display into an electrical signal in conjunction with a flow meter (not shown), and an extendable cord 1
The signal from the transmitter 8 is input to the portable display meter 11 via the transmitter 8. In this case as well, the code l
A plug 15 provided at the terminal of O is inserted into a socket on the side of the fuel supply machine main body 13 and connected when necessary.

The systems shown in Figures 1(a) and 1(b) above are equipped with a wired portable display meter 11 inside a gas service station, and in both cases, the portable display meter 11 is within the range of vibration or expansion/contraction caused by the cord 10. The customer or refueler can freely move the position and view the amount of refueling at hand.

On the other hand, the ones shown in Figures 2(a) and (b) show examples of displaying the amount of refueling using wireless signals on a portable display meter, and the parts with the same structure are shown in Figure 1(a). ) and (b), and their explanations will be omitted. In FIG. 2(a), the flow meter 4 is equipped with a transmitter 8 that generates an electric signal proportional to the flow rate, and a wireless transmitter 8A that transmits this signal. A total of 11 have built-in wireless receivers (as shown),
A signal from a transmitter 8A is received by an antenna 12 provided on the body, and the amount of refueling is displayed on a portable display meter 11.

The same is true in FIG. 2(b).

That is, a transmitter 8 in the refueling machine main body 13 shown in FIG. 1(b) and a wireless transmitter 8A for transmitting signals are provided, a receiver (illustrated path) is built in the portable display meter 11, and a display The meter body is equipped with an antenna 12.

In this way, the amount of refueling is converted into a wireless signal and transmitted,
If the antenna 12 of the portable display meter receives this information and displays the amount of refueling, the portable display meter 1 is used as in the previous embodiment.
This has the effect that the customer or the refueling person can freely know the amount of refueling at hand without being restricted in any way by position.

FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b) show an embodiment of the portable display meter, in which the portable display meter 11 is provided with a display window 11A that digitally displays the amount of refueling on one side of its body. Display window 11
Suction cups 14, 14... are attached around one side of the vessel body provided with A. FIG. 3(a) shows a wired portable display meter 11, in which a cord 10 is connected to the body of the display meter, and FIG. 3(b) shows a wireless portable display meter 11. A rod antenna 12 is provided on the body. When using such a portable display meter 11, suction cups 14, 14...
- By attaching the suction cup to the window glass of the vehicle, the amount of refueling can be displayed towards the interior of the vehicle, and when refueling is stopped, it can be stored by attaching the suction cup to an appropriate location. It is something.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the amount of refueling can be checked by holding the portable display meter 11 in the vehicle or at any location such as a refueling point, and the refueling amount is connected to the portable display meter and the refueling nozzle. Because it is installed separately from the system, unlike conventional refueling nozzles that require indicators, the structure of the refueling nozzle and the refueling hose can be simplified, and there is no need to consider explosion-proof structures.

As is clear from the above, the present invention is equipped with a portable indicator that has an attachment part to the automobile body, so even if the fixed fuel level indicator enters a blind spot, the customer in the car can still use the portable indicator. This allows the customer to know the refueling situation from time to time, and the customer can also enjoy the benefits of refueling service without having to worry about having to carry the fuel while refueling.
