Description

Gas station system

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a system for supplying fuel to gas stations such as vehicles.

Background of the Invention In Japan, in order to maintain fair and equitable business transactions, the refueling devices (meters) installed at gas stations must undergo flow verification every 7 years, and the instrument error of the flowmeter must be within ±0.5%. In this regard, the applicant has provided a refueling device that can reliably prevent tampering with instrument errors (refer to Patent Document 1). In recent years, information about gas stations has also been digitized by servers and connected via the Internet, so that information can be received freely and a large amount of data (big data) can be collected. Moreover, it is hoped that such a large amount of data can be analyzed in real time to generate new value, so that the data can be flexibly used to correspond to the social environment. From this point of view, it is also hoped that information about gas stations can be managed reliably and can be used directly when needed.

In the current refueling device and its internal machines, a mobile barcode (QR code, registered trademark) is attached to manage machine data. However, the machine data managed by the mobile barcode is the data (model number, manufacturing number, etc.) at the time of shipment (at the time of initial verification), and does not include the data after operation. Especially in fueling equipment, it is necessary to accept re-calibration to update the expiration date, or to manage the historical records of maintenance such as replacement of parts. The management of such updates or historical records requires time to check the data, for the verification, inspection, and maintenance Huge labor and time must be paid. Moreover, in the management of the mobile barcode that only records the data at the time of shipment, it is not useful for the above-mentioned update or historical record management. In addition, it is difficult to reliably manage information about gas stations, and it is difficult to directly use them when needed. Prior Art Documents Patent Documents

Moreover, such big data can also be analyzed in real time to generate new value, which is helpful for social development.

Detailed description of preferred embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, the gas station system 200 includes three gas filling devices 100 and a management server 40 that memorizes information of the gas filling devices 100. Here, the information of the refueling device 100 is the machine information and maintenance information of the refueling device 100, and is information that can be accessed from the first and second websites described later. In the illustrated embodiment, a gas station GS (Gas Station) is composed of a gas filling device 100, a GS centralized monitoring device 20 that monitors and controls the gas filling device 100, an underground tank 22, a POS (point of sale) terminal 29, and the like.

The fueling device 100 includes a detected unit 10 (refer to FIG. 2) that records the URL of the first website. The machine information and maintenance information of the fueling device 100 are recorded in the management server 40. Here, for example, machine information and maintenance information of the fueling device 100 are displayed on the first website. Such information is recorded in the management server 40 as INF1 and 2 in FIG. 2. Although not shown clearly, each refueling device 100 is equipped with: a flow meter installed in the refueling pipe; a refueling hose connected to the refueling pipe at one end and a refueling nozzle at the other end; and a display 25 (refer to FIG. 2) to remember The instrument error adjustment value of the instrument error adjustment device is multiplied by the measured value from the flow meter to display the fuel filling amount. The instrument error adjustment device includes the instrument error adjustment switch 23 of FIG. 2 and is a part of the refueling control device 18 of FIG. 2.

The machine information and maintenance information of the fueling device 100 are in the following state: only when approved by the metering manager 41, they are input by the metering manager 41 and recorded on the management server 40, and can be accessed from the first website. Here, the metering manager 41 is a manager of the management server 40, and is a so-called third party to the gas station GS. In this way, only the data approved by the measurement manager 41 will be recorded in the management server 40, thereby improving the reliability of the data stored in the management server 40, the management server 40, and the first and second described later. The security of the website.

The metering manager 41 may also be the operator of the management server 40, such as a natural person with authority, but it may also be constituted by an automatically controlled information processing mechanism. Here, the arrow in FIG. 1 shows the information signal line. Refer to FIG. 2 to describe the detailed information received by the information signal line.

In FIG. 1, the support center 50 has a function of performing various support for each gas station GS, and can also perform support when registering data and the like to the management server 40. The symbol 30 refers to a mobile terminal (including a portable information processing machine such as a smart phone) carried by the operator of the gas station GS, but in the following description, it can also refer to the operator of the gas station GS. For example, when the operator 30 of the gas station GS performs re-verification, the mobile terminal 30 transmits the result of the re-verification to the metering manager 41, or accesses the maintenance information recorded in the management server 40.

In FIG. 1, each refueling device 100 of a gas station GS is managed by a liquid amount management device 21 and a GS centralized monitoring device 20. The underground tank 22 of each refueling device 100 is provided with an oil level gauge 23 and a liquefaction recovery device 24 is provided. Symbol 27 indicates a switching device that can switch the object of liquid volume management, and symbol 28 indicates a car washing machine. The gas station GS has a POS system, and the POS terminal 29 is connected to the GS centralized monitoring device 20.

In Fig. 2 showing the information reception of the metering manager 41, the refueling device 100, the management server 40, and the GS centralized monitoring device 20, the instrument error adjustment device not shown in the refueling device 100 is provided with the detected part 10 , The inspected part 10 is composed of an IC chip or an IC tag. An instrument error adjustment switch 23 is provided adjacent to the detected part 10, and the instrument error adjustment switch 23 has a function of switching the instrument error adjustment device to an instrument error adjustment mode. In Fig. 2, the symbol 25 is a display for displaying the amount of refueling.

Although not shown clearly, the instrument error adjustment switch 23 and the detected portion 10 are sealed by resin. If the resin seal is damaged, the instrument error adjustment device may act and the instrument error may vary. The detected part 10, the instrument error adjustment switch 23, and the resin seal are provided inside the casing of the refueling device 100. If there is no key for opening and closing the casing of the refueling device 100, the operation cannot be performed. In other words, in order to activate the instrument error adjustment device, the cover must be opened.

In the detected part 10, the URL of the first website is recorded. The machine information or maintenance information of the refueling device 100 accessible from the first website is recorded in the management server 40. In FIG. 2, the machine information or maintenance information recorded in the management server 40 is displayed with symbols INF1 and 2. Here, in the detected unit 10, in addition to the URL, the individual number of the flow meter, etc. may be recorded.

In addition, the refueling device 100 is provided with an identification code (second detected part) 26 in which the URL of the second website is recorded. The second website records information about the refueling device 100 that the user can read, such as data at the time of shipment (model number, manufacturing number, etc.), and the expiration date until the next verification. However, information other than the URL can also be recorded with the identification code 26. The information accessible from the second website is also recorded in the management server 40, and is shown as the symbol INF2 in FIG. 2. Here, the configuration is such that even if access is made from the second website, the information in the management server 40 will not be rewritten. In addition, the identification code 26 may be a mobile barcode, a barcode, or another IC tag different from the detected portion 10, or the like.

In FIG. 2, for example, at the time of re-verification, the operator 30 who has performed re-verification takes information about the end of verification (for example, the re-verification date, the name of the re-verification person, etc.) as maintenance information for the management server 40. The metering manager 41 outputs (information signal line A). When the measurement manager 41 checks and approves the maintenance information output by the recalibration operator 30, the maintenance information is input to the management server 40 (information signal line B). Conversely, when the measurement manager 41 does not approve the maintenance information, it is not input to the management server 40, and the information whose subject is not approved is output to the recalibration operator 30 (information signal line G).

Re-calibration data, such as re-calibration date, instrument error adjustment record (log) (instrument error adjustment value), and password required for instrument error adjustment operations (or maintenance operations) are used as maintenance information through the GS centralized monitoring device 20 Output to the metering manager 41 (information signal line C). Here, if the password is a daily password (DAILY PASSWORD), it can prevent, for example, a person who knows the password from a resigner from using the password maliciously. The metering manager 41 checks the information (maintenance information) output through the GS centralized monitoring device 20, and when approved, inputs it to the management server 40 (information signal line B). Conversely, when the measurement manager 41 does not approve the maintenance information, it is not input to the management server 40, and the information whose subject is not approved is output to the GS centralized monitoring device 20 (information signal line E). The maintenance information approved by the metering manager 41 is input to the management server 40, whereby the information in the management server 40 is updated to the latest information. The data displayed on the first website (instrument error adjustment value) Etc.) will also be updated.

During inspection and replacement of parts, the maintenance operator 30, the GS centralized monitoring device 20, the management server 40, and the measurement manager 41 receive the same information as the above, and the maintenance information (maintenance day, maintenance The content, replacement parts, etc.) will be recorded in the management server 40. The sequence of inspection and maintenance will be described in detail later.

In FIG. 2, the machine information and maintenance information of each refueling device 100 of the gas station GS will be recorded in the management server 40 after being approved by the metering manager 41. This information can be accessed on the 1st and 2nd website respectively. The information that can be accessed from the first website is machine information (for example, machine model or manufacturing number, etc., manufacturing year, month, day, etc.), maintenance information (update record of the verification period date, update record of the instrument error adjustment value, parts Replacement (such as fuel nozzle replacement, pump filter replacement) and other historical records, etc. (Information INF1 in Figure 2), gas station GS related parties (business operators, operators, maintenance personnel) can access and use. To access the first website, using the aforementioned maintenance information memorized in the management server 40, data query authority (password, etc.) is required. The information that can be accessed from the second website is part of the machine information (for example, the model or manufacturing number of the machine, the year, month, and day of manufacture), and part of the maintenance information (for example, the period until the next verification) (Figure 2 The information INF2), it is assumed that the user will access and use.

When performing inspections, parts replacement, etc., the operator 30 reads the URL recorded in the inspected part 10, and accesses maintenance information (part replacement history, etc.) that can be accessed on the management website (the first website) ( Information signal line D). In order to read the URL of the inspected part 10, the operator 30 uses a reader dedicated to the gas station GS. In other words, in the illustrated embodiment, it is set so that the URL of the detected part 10 cannot be read unless a reader dedicated to the gas station GS is used. By accessing the maintenance information obtained by accessing the first website, the operator 30 can immediately grasp the historical records of updates or parts replacement, etc. As a result, the labor and time of the inspection operation can be reduced.

The operator 30 who has performed the maintenance operation by referring to the maintenance information of the management server 40 (the first website) uses the information about the end of the maintenance (such as the maintenance day, the name of the maintenance operator, etc.) as the maintenance information for the management server The metering manager 41 of 40 outputs (information signal line A). The metering manager 41 checks the maintenance information (for example, the maintenance day, the name of the maintenance operator, etc.) output from the maintenance operator 30, and inputs the maintenance information to the management server 40 (information signal line B) when the maintenance information is approved. When the measurement manager 41 does not approve the maintenance information, it will not be input to the management server 40, and the unapproved subject will be output to the maintenance operator 30 (information signal line G).

The maintenance data, such as maintenance date, parts replacement, etc., and the password required for maintenance work will be used as maintenance information and output to the measurement manager 41 (information signal line C) through the GS centralized monitoring device 20. The measurement manager 41 checks the information (maintenance information) output through the GS centralized monitoring device 20, and when the information is approved, inputs it to the management server 40 (information signal line B). When the measurement manager 41 does not approve the maintenance information, it is not input to the management server 40, and the information whose subject is not approved is output to the GS centralized monitoring device 20 (information signal line E). In the embodiment shown in the figure, when the management server 40 sends recalibration data, inspection data, and maintenance data to the measurement manager 41, the items sent from the operator 30 (recalibration date, maintenance day, recalibration, etc.) ), and the items (re-calibration content, maintenance content, etc.) sent from the GS centralized monitoring device 20 already exist, which will cause a part of the data to be duplicated. However, only the operator 30 may send the recalibration data, inspection data, and maintenance data to the measurement manager 41, or only the GS centralized monitoring device 20 may send these data to the measurement manager 41.

The management server 40 sends the verification period (re-verification period) to the GS centralized monitoring device 20 (information signal line F). In addition, the management server 40 will also send the aforementioned verification period (re-verification period) to the measurement manager 41 (information signal line I). If the time limit for re-verification of each fueling device 100 in the gas station GS is sent from the management server 40 to the GS centralized monitoring device 20 based on the re-verification history, the re-verification of each fueling device 100 can be performed reliably . Similarly, based on the recorded maintenance history, the management server 40 sends the maintenance period to the GS centralized monitoring device 20 (information signal line F, from the management server 40 to the metering manager 41 to send the deadline) It is the information signal line I). In addition, the information signal line J indicates that, for example, the GS centralized monitoring device 20 can inquire about maintenance information and machine information as needed.

Although not explicitly shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the user reads the URL recorded in the identification code 26, and accesses the second website through an information processing network (such as the Internet). In Figures 1 and 2, the illustration of the information processing network is omitted. By accessing the information that can be accessed from the second website, the user can determine whether the gas station GS that will receive the service in the future is properly and correctly managed.

In the illustrated embodiment, the processing sequence in the refueling device 100 will be described mainly with reference to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 shows an example of the processing sequence when re-verification of the refueling device 100 is performed. However, during inspection and maintenance, processing is also performed in the same manner as in FIG. 3. In FIG. 3, in step S31, it is determined whether the instrument error adjustment switch 23 (FIG. 2) has been pressed. When the instrument error adjustment switch 23 has been pressed in step S31 (step S31; Yes), the process proceeds to step S32. On the other hand, when the instrument error adjustment switch 23 is not pressed in step S31 (step S31; No), the process returns to step S31.

In step S32, the operator inputs a password required for instrument error adjustment work or maintenance work, etc., into a predetermined place. Then proceed to step S33. In step S33, it is determined whether the password input in step S32 is normal. When the result of the judgment in step S33 is that the password is normal (step S33; YES), proceed to step S34. On the other hand, when the result of the judgment in step S33 is that the password is not normal (step S33; No), the processing ends.

In step S34, the instrument error adjustment value is updated, and the process proceeds to step S35. In step S35, accept that the re-verification has been performed, and use the re-verification data as re-verification data through GS The centralized monitoring device 20 sends to the metering manager 41 of the management server 40 (information signal line C in FIG. 2). Then the processing ends. The data sent in step S35 is sent at the stage of step S41 in the processing procedure of the measurement manager 41 in FIG. 4. During inspection and maintenance, the operator reads the URL of the inspected part 10, accesses the first website, and starts the operation after grasping the maintenance information (history of parts replacement, etc.).

Next, referring mainly to FIG. 4, the processing sequence of the measurement manager 41 (manager of the management server 40) will be described. In FIG. 4, it is determined in step S41 whether the re-verification data has been received. The re-verification data is sent from the operator 30 (mobile terminal: portable information processing machine) who has performed the re-verification, for example: the date of the re-verification and the name of the operator who has been re-verified (Figure 2 The information signal line A). In addition, the re-calibration data is sent through the GS centralized monitoring device 20 to send maintenance records (update records of the verification period date, update records of instrument error adjustment values, records of maintenance such as replacement of parts at the same time, etc.), passwords, etc. (Figure 2 Information signal line C). As described above, the recalibration data, inspection data, and maintenance data may be sent only from the operator 30 to the measurement manager 41, or only from the GS centralized monitoring device 20 to the measurement manager 41.

When the recalibration data is received in step 41 (step S41; YES), the process proceeds to step S42. On the other hand, when the re-verification data is not received in step S41 (step S41; No), return to step S41 and continue the processing sequence. In step S42, the measurement manager 41 determines whether the recalibration data has been updated normally. When the measurement manager 41 determines that the re-verification data has been updated normally (step S42; Yes), the measurement manager 41 approves the re-verification data, and proceeds to step S43. On the other hand, when the measurement manager 41 determines that the recalibration data has not been updated normally (step S42; No), it returns to step S42. Although not shown in Fig. 4, when step S42 is "No", the metering manager 41 will send the gas station GS or the operator the purpose of "re-verification data not approved" (information signal line G in Fig. 2), Prompt it to submit the re-verification data again.

In step S43, the measurement manager 41 inputs the approved recalibration data to the management server 40, and updates the recalibration data (information signal line B). Then the processing sequence ends. The input and updated data of the re-verification data in step S43 are transmitted in step S51 of the processing sequence of the management server 40 in FIG. 5. In addition, FIG. 4 shows an example of the processing sequence at the time of re-inspection, and the processing at the time of inspection and maintenance is also performed in accordance with FIG. 4.

The processing sequence of the management server 40 will be explained mainly with reference to FIG. 5. In FIG. 5, in step S51, the measurement manager 41 determines whether the re-verification data has been input to the management server 40. The re-verification data to the management server 40 is sent from step S43 in FIG. 4. When the recalibration data has been input in step S51 (step S51; YES), proceed to step S52. On the other hand, when no re-verification data is input in step S51 (step S51; No), return to step S51 to continue the processing sequence.

In step S52, the recalibration data in the management server 40 is updated. By updating the re-calibration data, the latest verification date, the date of the next verification period, the latest instrument error adjustment value, and the name of the re-calibration can be updated. Moreover, by this update, the data about re-verification that can be accessed from the first and second websites can also be updated. In addition, FIG. 5 shows an example of the processing sequence at the time of re-inspection, and the processing at the time of inspection and maintenance is also performed in accordance with FIG. 5.

In the illustrated embodiment, not only the people involved in the verification of the gas station GS, users who use the gas station GS can also access the management server 40 to check necessary information. In step S61 of FIG. 6 showing the processing sequence of the user, the user reads the URL recorded in the identification code 26 through the information machine, and accesses the second website through the information processing network (such as the Internet). In step S62, the information that can be accessed from the second website is displayed on the information machine (part of the information of the refueling device, for example: data at the time of shipment, such as model number, manufacturing number, the latest verification date, and until the next verification The expiration date), the user can confirm, and then can safely receive the service at the gas station GS. When step S62 ends, the processing sequence of FIG. 6 ends.

In FIG. 2, the refueling device 100 is provided with an instrument error adjustment switch 23 that can be operated when adjusting the instrument error of the flowmeter. In order to prevent tampering with instrument errors, for example, the instrument error adjustment switch 23 can be covered with a cover 7 (refer to FIGS. 11 and 12), and the cover 7 is sealed by resin or the like. Hereinafter, while mainly referring to FIGS. 7 to 12, the structure for sealing the cover 7 covering the instrument error adjustment switch 23 will be described. In the illustrated embodiment, three types of structures of the detected portion 10 (the first example to the third example) are shown as examples. On the IC chips 1-1 to 1-3 constituting the inspected part 10, for example, the URL of the first website that can access the information of the fueling device 100 and the like are recorded.

First, referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, a first example of the structure of the detected portion 10 will be described. In FIGS. 7 and 8, the IC chip 1-1 and its antenna 2-1 constituting the detected portion 10-1 are both covered with resin. Although not explicitly shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the resin sealing portion can seal the cover 7 of the instrument error adjustment switch 23 (refer to FIGS. 11 and 12). The resin used for coating and sealing can be PBT, PPS, epoxy resin, polyvinyl chloride, nylon, polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer, ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer, etc. The antenna 2-1 of the IC chip 1-1 extends over the entire area covered by the resin. Furthermore, a circular antenna-side resin sealing part 10-1B covering the antenna 2-1 is provided continuously with the IC chip-side resin sealing part 10-1A covering the IC chip 1-1.

In FIG. 8, the circular antenna side resin sealing portion 10-1B is provided with a through hole 10-1BA, and the metal wire 3-1, which is a flexible member, penetrates the through hole 10-1BA.
