Description

A FUEL ORDERING METHOD AND THE APPARATUS THEREOF}

The present invention relates to an automatic oil ordering method and apparatus for automatically recognizing and replenishing an order for refilling oil as fuel of an oil boiler used for heating.

In general, in the case of heating by using an LENG gas boiler, since it is automatically supplied from the center, it can be freely used except for the blocking of fuel.

However, boilers that use oils such as kerosene and bunker seed oil, commonly known as oil boilers, are always satisfied by ordering the shortage by checking the state of oil satisfaction.

Therefore, the user has a hassle in using the oil at all times to check the state of use, the supplier has the disadvantage of wasting the manpower and time because the same area, but also to go to the same area several times depending on the orderer to order at different times.

The present invention is to fundamentally prevent the inconvenience of life due to the lack of oil to be able to automatically take orders according to the state of use of the oil to solve this problem.

In order to achieve this object, in the present invention, a chamber having a certain size is formed at a lower end of a general water level capable of confirming the level of oil in an oil tank, a floating magnet is built in the chamber, and a magnet at the lower end of the chamber. When the sensor detects the magnetic force of the magnet and the sensor detects the magnetic force of the magnet, the central processing unit is automatically connected to the oil distributor's telephone through the order client's phone by the detection signal. By leaving a phone number, this is possible by providing a way for the oil seller to supply oil to the home with the orderer's telephone number through the recipient's phone.

2 and 3 are schematic configuration diagrams of the apparatus of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the present invention, a chamber having a constant size is formed at the lower end of a normal water level capable of confirming the oil level of the oil tank, and a floating magnet is incorporated in the chamber.

The sensor is installed at the bottom of the chamber to detect the magnetic force of the magnet. When the sensor detects the magnetic force of the magnet, the central processing unit is automatically connected to the oil distributor's telephone through the order client's phone. By leaving the requester's phone number on the recipient's phone, the recipient's phone provides a way for the oil seller to supply fuel to the home with the orderer's phone number.

The most preferred device embodying this method of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

In a heater in which a water leveler 5 is installed in a normal oil boiler 1 and an oil tank 2,

At the bottom of the water leveler 5, a chamber 6 having a predetermined height and larger than the tube diameter of the water leveler 5 is formed to embed the floating magnet 3 in the chamber 6,

On the lower end of the chamber (6) is installed a sensor (4) capable of detecting the magnetic force of the floating magnet (3), the sensor (4) is a central processing unit (8) connected to the customer request phone (9) Is connected to, the order client telephone (9) is made of a structure for telephone connection to the recipient telephone (10) of the oil distributor.

When explaining the present invention in more detail as follows.

In the case where the oil as heating fuel is sufficient in the oil tank 2, the floating magnet 3 such as a plastic magnet embedded in the chamber 6 is positioned at the top of the chamber 6.

At this time, the floating magnet (3) does not reach the magnetic force to the sensor (4) located at the lower end of the chamber (6).

In this case, there is oil to be used.

However, the continuous use of the oil level of the oil is gradually lowered so that the floating magnet (3) is gradually lowered to the lower portion of the chamber (6) is lowered to the installation position of the sensor (4) for detecting the magnetic force.

The sensor 4 detects the magnetic force of the floating magnet 3 as the floating magnet 3 descends.

The signal picked up by the detection of the sensor 4 is applied to the central processing unit 8, and the central processing unit 8 which receives the signal is received by the oil distributor through the order client phone 9 as previously inputted. The telephone 10 is automatically connected to the telephone 10 to leave the telephone number of the order client telephone 9 in the receiver telephone (10).

By leaving the telephone number of the order client's telephone 9 in the receiver's telephone 10, the oil seller checks the order client's telephone 9 remaining in the receiver's telephone 10 and calls the order client's home to confirm the order quantity. It can be delivered later or as much as the oil promised.

This means that the tank 2 can fill only a certain capacity, and the amount of remaining oil is automatically checked depending on where the sensor 4 installed in the chamber 6 is located in the chamber 6. Therefore, by confirming between the orderer and the supplier, the supplier can always deliver the same amount of oil.

On the other hand, in the case of the floating magnet (3), it is necessary to use a hollow magnet in the center.

This is because when the oil is sufficient in the state of being embedded in the chamber (6), the floating magnet (3) is located at the top of the chamber (6) to block the chamber (6) and the water level (3). It is desirable to use hollow magnets as they may occur.

However, even when using a magnet in a flat state if the separate locking device 12 inside the upper end of the chamber (6) will not be able to block between the chamber (6) and the water level (3).

In the present invention, the central processing unit (8) is separately shown as shown, but it can be embedded in the customer request phone (9), and also the sensor ( In response to the signal of 4), the order client phone 9 may be operated to make a telephone connection to the receiver phone 10.

However, all of these processes are just one embodiment, and in the case of the present invention, if it is to use the technical idea of detecting the remaining oil and automatically ordering the shortage of oil through the telephone of the receiver through the telephone automatically. It turns out that it belongs to the scope of the present invention.

As described above, the present invention fundamentally prevents problems caused by the lack of oil by allowing the user to automatically order the oil through a telephone without the user visually confirming the lack of the oil. It is obvious that this invention is a very useful invention that can save time as well as manpower by allowing easy use of the product and adjusting the supplier's supply schedule.
