Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a fueling station that is equipped with a fueling device for refueling automobiles and the like with gasoline.

[Conventional technology]

Among the refueling equipment installed at refueling stations, there are those that are fixed on the ground and are installed on an island installed on the ground surface of the refueling station site. Protects and displays refueling position at the same time.

By the way, conventionally, such ground-fixed refueling machines have housed refueling mechanisms such as a refueling pump connected to a refueling pipe, a refueling motor, and a flow meter in a relatively large box-shaped refueling machine case. If a car or other object comes into contact with the machine case,
Not only is there a risk of damage to the refueling machine case and the car, but also the refueling machine inside the case may be destroyed, creating a danger such as a fire.

Conventionally, the island was made wider and taller so that a car could not drive over it, thereby preventing the car from coming into contact with the fuel tank case.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

At such gas stations, the area is narrowed by the island, and the direction of entry and exit of cars from the gas station is regulated by the island, so when the gas station is crowded with many cars stopping to refuel, cars can In many cases, they become linked together, making it difficult to run smoothly.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the conventional example, to minimize the area of the site occupied by the island, to make the running of cars smoother when gas stations are crowded, and to avoid the risk of damage to the gas tank or the car. There is no refueling station to offer.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized in that a long and narrow island is installed within the site, and a refueling hose is elastically erected and supported on the island by a holder.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, since the island is made elongated, the refueling area becomes wider, and if the height of the island is set to a height that a car can drive over, the island can be easily used during busy times when many cars stop at the gas station. By driving freely on the top, the flow of cars becomes smoother.

At this time, since there is only a refueling hose on the island that is elastically supported upright by a holder, there is little possibility that the car will come into contact with this refueling hose.
There is little risk of damage to the car or fuel hose even if it comes into contact with the lamp.

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

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a gas service station of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a fuel supply device installed at a gas station of the present invention.
First, to explain the overall structure of a gas station, as is well known in the past, a building 2 such as an office is installed on the site 1 of the gas station, a canopy 3 is installed above, and the amount of refueling is displayed in an easily visible place such as the wall of the building 2. It is equipped with 4 display meters.

In the figure, 5 indicates a pump room adjacent to the building 2, and a fuel supply pipe 6 is set up from an underground tank (not shown) in the pump room 5, and a fuel supply pump 7 and a flow rate pulse transmitter 8 are connected to the flow rate. A total of 9 were placed in sequence.

Note that 10 in the figure indicates a refueling data input/output device (PO3) installed in the building 2.

In a gas station having such a configuration, the present invention installs an island 11 in the form of an elongated strip within the site 1 to serve as a driving guide for automobiles and has a low height so that automobiles can ride freely over the island. Oil supply pipe 6 on island 11
A refueling hose 12 connected to the holder 12 is vertically supported by a holder 13.

As an example of this holding body 13, a coil spring 13a whose upper end is bent into an inverted U-shape is installed vertically upward from above the island II, and the oil supply hose 12 is inserted into this coil spring 13a so that it can be elastically Hold this and attach the oil supply nozzle 16 to the tip.

In this way, by elastically erecting a plurality (two in the illustrated example) of the refueling hoses 12 from the elongated and low-height island 11 with the holder 13 at intervals of, for example, 3 to 4 m, Cars entering the gas station are on Island 1.
The presence of the gas station 1 allows the vehicle to know the refueling location, and vehicles running within the gas station can climb over the island 11 and freely travel between the gas hoses 12 and 12. For example, when the gas station is crowded, refueling stops. Even if a refueling car is parked in front of the refueling car, the car that has finished refueling can exit first by climbing over the island 11 and running between the refueling hoses 12 and 12, thereby reducing the flow of cars. can be done smoothly.

Then, when driving on island 1, island 1
Since there is only a thin refueling hose 12 erected on top of the fuel hose 12, there is little chance that the car will come into contact with this refueling hose 12, and even if it does come into contact with the lever, the refueling hose 12 is supported elastically. Since the impact force is absorbed by this elasticity, there is little risk of damage to both the fuel supply hose 12 and the vehicle.

In the embodiment described above, the coil spring 13a was used as the holder 13 of the refueling hose 12, but as another example, as shown in FIG. The midway of the refueling hose 12 raised from the island 11 may be hooked to the suspended lobe 15, and in this case as well, the refueling hose 12 is elastically perpendicular to the island 11 with the midway suspended. Supported by

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the island 11 is
It may be a curved line depending on the shape of the gas station site 1 and the entry/exit travel line of automobiles.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, in the gas station of the present invention, by providing an elongated island, the site of the gas station can be used effectively, and by lowering the island, cars can ride over the island and drive freely. It is possible to make the flow of fuel smoother and reduce congestion inside the gas station, and it is also safe because there is no risk of damage to cars or fuel hoses.
