Abstract

PURPOSE:To indicate a oiling area for a long period and to prevent an automobile from being hindered while it is possible to prevent other different working from being hindered upon non-fueling, by indicating the oiling area with the use of a translucent gas curtain. CONSTITUTION:A gas generator 6 is laid in a building in a oil station or on a suitable place in the area 2 of the oil station. This gas may be such that it is translucent when it is jetted. Meanwhile, several jet ports 7 are formed in an elliptic shape in the ground of the oiling area below each hose processing device 5 so that the jet ports 9 are opened upward at the same level as that of the ground surface, and the jet ports 7 are connected with the gas generator 6 through a pipe line 8.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a gas station for refilling automobiles, motorcycles, etc. with gasoline.

[Conventional technology]

At a refueling station, for example, where a suspended refueling system is used where the refueling hose is suspended from the canopy, there is no need to install a fixed refueling machine on the ground, so there are no obstacles and, as a result, cars can refuel easily. Therefore, you can stop freely anywhere within the premises of the gas station, making effective use of the premises.

However, on the other hand, when the stopping point is not clear or when many cars enter and leave the premises at the same time, cars block each other's movement, causing confusion and reducing refueling efficiency. - To make the refueling area clear, paint the stopping point of the car in a circle, for example, on the paved surface of the site, or bury a circular lamp without protruding too much and make it flash. That's what I was doing.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, with such conventional methods, it is difficult to withstand long-term use because the paint may peel off or the lamp may be damaged. Since these displays are always on, they can be an eyesore when refueling is not in progress, and may interfere with other work.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the conventional example, and to be able to clearly display the refueling area for a long period of time, without interfering with the running of the car, and without interfering with other work even when not refueling. The first objective is to provide a gas station that helps improve work efficiency.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the gist of the present invention is to arrange gas jet ports connected to a gas generator on the ground surface of a refueling area.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, gas is supplied from the gas generator to the nozzles arranged on the ground surface of the refueling area, and the gas spouted from the nozzles forms a curtain of opaque gas to display the refueling area.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of the main parts showing an embodiment of the filling station of the present invention;
Figure 2 is an overall perspective view of the same as above, and as is well known, the overall configuration of the gas station is a canopy 4 installed above the site 2 and in front of the building 3, and a plurality of hose processing devices 5 with refueling hoses suspended therefrom so as to be able to rise and fall are installed. It is.

A gas generator 6 is installed at an appropriate location in the building 3 or site 2 of the gas station 1. This gas may include smoke or other colored gases, air, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, or other cold gases that are colorless in nature, but any gas that becomes opaque when ejected may be used.

On the other hand, a large number of ejection lowers are opened upward at the same level as the ground surface, for example every other day, on the ground in the refueling area below each hose processing device 5, and the ejection lowers and the gas generator 6 are connected to the piping 8. Connected with.

A vehicle detector 9 is provided at the entrance of the gas station 1, and a valve 1O that opens and closes in response to an output signal from the vehicle detector 9 is provided in the middle of the pipe 8 near the gas generator 6. In the illustrated example, the vehicle detector 9 uses an optical sensor, with a light emitter 9a attached to a gas station guidance display device 13 and a light receiver 9b mounted on a wall 11 facing the light emitter 9a. It is possible to use an appropriate device such as a pressure sensor that detects the

Furthermore, a spotlight 12 was attached to each hose treatment device 5 to illuminate the respective refueling area.

Although the above description has been made regarding a refueling station equipped with a suspended refueling system, the present invention is not limited thereto, and can also be applied to a refueling station installed with a ground-fixed refueling system. In such a case, spout ports will be provided on the ground around or in front and behind the island where the refueling machine is installed.

Next, the operation will be explained. When there are no cars in the gas station l, gas is not ejected from the ejection lower. Now, when a car enters the entrance of the gas station 1, the light beam emitted from the light emitter 9a is blocked by the car and does not reach the light receiver 9b, so the car detector 9 detects this change and activates the valve. 10 is opened, and gas is supplied from the gas generator 6 into the pipe 8.

The gas passes through the pipe 8 and reaches the blowout lower, where it is ejected upward from the blowout lower. At this time, not only will it appear opaque if the ejected gas consists of smoke or other colored gases, but even if it is cold gas such as air or carbon dioxide, the moisture in the air in the area where these cold gases are ejected will It condenses and appears opaque white, thus marking the refueling area with a curtain of opaque gas formed near the surface by the gas ejected from the blowout lower.

Drivers of cars know the refueling area by looking at this curtain of opaque gas, and then stop and refuel here.

In this case, even if the car comes into contact with the opaque gas, unlike when a fixed object is used to indicate the refueling area, driving will not be hindered or the car will be damaged. At the same time, if the spotlight 12 is turned on to illuminate the spouting gas, the presence of opaque gas can be better known (the driver can be notified, and the refueling area can be displayed more clearly. If the color of the 12 light beams is different for each oil type and the hose treatment device 5 is colored in the same color, the refueling point of the desired oil type can be clearly seen, which helps to prevent erroneous refueling.

When the car finishes refueling and leaves the premises 2, valve 10 is turned off.
closes again and gas emission stops.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, since the refueling station of the present invention displays the refueling area with an opaque gas curtain, no fixed object for display protrudes above the ground, so it does not obstruct the movement of automobiles and is non-smoking. Even when refueling, it does not interfere with other work.
