Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a weighing, packaging and pricing apparatus that weighs and packages articles, and prices them based on the weighing results.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, a measuring means for weighing an article, a packaging means for packaging the weighed article, a label issuing means for printing and issuing a label with contents based on the weighing results, and a label issuing means for printing and issuing a label with contents based on the weighing result, and a label issuing means for printing and issuing a label with contents based on the weighing result, It is equipped with a label affixing means for pasting a label on the product and a liquid crystal display for displaying the contents of the label to be issued, and by controlling the operation of each means described in 2. There is a weighing, packaging, and pricing device in which modes such as pricing, packaging, etc. can be selected.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Conventionally, settings for each mode are selected using a switch, but the set mode cannot be determined unless the position of the switch is confirmed. For this reason, work may proceed in a mode that does not suit the purpose without checking the current setting mode. As a result, for example, items that should be packaged may be transported unwrapped and scattered on the transportation route, or products that do not require pricing may be marked with a price and the label may be removed later. is stored in memory, so if it is no longer needed, extra work such as clearing this data must be done.

Means for Solving the Problem In a weighing, packaging, and pricing device in which the operations of a weighing means, a packaging means, a label issuing means, and a label pasting means are set by a mode setting means, a color display is provided to display the contents of the article being handled, A display controller is provided which is connected to the mode setting means and sets display colors of the color display in accordance with the selected mode.

Since the display controller changes the display color of the color display according to the contents set by the action mode setting means, the current setting mode can be known at a glance. It is possible to reduce the number of erroneous operations to proceed with the work.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, an incoming conveyor 1, a weighing means 2, a packaging means 3, and an outgoing conveyor 6 are arranged continuously, and a label issuing means 4 is arranged on the side of the packaging means 3.
A label pasting means 5 is arranged on the side of the carry-out conveyor 5. The weighing means 2 consists of a conveyor that is continuous with the carry-in conveyor 1 and an electronic scale that supports this conveyor.

Thus, the article is weighed together with the conveyor, and by subtracting the weight of the conveyor, the article itself is weighed. The packaging means 3 packages the weighed article, the label issuing means 4 prints and issues data on a label based on the weighing result by the weighing means 2, and the label attaching means 5
The label issued by the label issuing means 4 is attached to the article being carried out by the carrying out conveyor 6. All of these are known. Further, a color display 7 and an operation panel 8 are provided on the side 3-4- of the carrying-in conveyor 1, and the operation panel 8 includes the weighing means 3, the packaging means 3, and the label issuing means 4. Said labeling means 5
Mode setting means 9 is provided for setting the operation. In this embodiment, the mode setting means 9 is a rotary switch, which sets the following modes depending on the switching position.

1) Weighing, packaging, and pricing mode The work processes in this mode are: Loading the article by the carry-in conveyor 1 - Weighing the article by the weighing means 2 - Packing the article by the packaging means 3 - Issuing a label by the label issuing means 4 - Label pasting means This is labeling by 5 and carrying out of the article by carrying out conveyor 6.

2) Automatic weighing value attaching mode The working process in this mode is: Loading the article by the carry-in conveyor 1 - Weighing the article by the weighing means 2 - Issuing a label by the label issuing means 4 - Attaching the label by the label attaching means 5 - Carrying out the conveyor 6 This is the removal of goods by.

3) Manual weighing value attaching mode The working process in this mode is: Loading the article by the carry-in conveyor 1 - Manually weighing the article by the weighing means 2 - Issuance of a label by the label issuing means 4 - Labeling by the label attaching means 5 - Output conveyor 6 This is the removal of goods by.

4) Packaging Mode The working steps in this mode are: loading the article by the loading conveyor 1, packaging the article by the packaging means 3, and carrying out the article by the carrying-out conveyor 6.

As shown in FIG. 2, the color display 7 displays the contents of the article to be weighed, packaged, priced, etc. A display controller 10 is connected to the color display 7. It has a file buffer R12, a file buffer G13, and a file buffer B14 to which the output side of the mode setting means 9 is connected via the CPU II and processes data of the three primary colors.

In such a configuration, each of the above modes is set by operating the mode setting means 9 (rotary switch). In this case, the contents of the article to be weighed, packaged, priced, etc. are displayed on the color display 7. At this time, the CPU II reads the output of the mode setting means 9,
Displays the signal corresponding to the set mode Controller 1
Output to 0. The display controller 10 controls the display color of the contents of the article displayed on the color display 7 using the file buffer R12, the file buffer G13, and the file buffer B14 in accordance with the set mode. That is, the display color is changed by a combination of the three primary colors of red, green, and blue. In FIG. 2, the display color is controlled by the color of the frame 15 surrounding the product name, price, etc., and by the characters 16 of the product name, etc.
The combination of colors corresponding to the set mode is determined by calling up a table in memory (see Table 1) using the colors numbered 17, such as the color , the color A, and the color combination corresponding to the set mode.

There are various ways to change the color, but for example, as shown in Figure 3, the selected mode name 18 is displayed on the color display 7, and the color of the text or background that displays this mode name is It may be changed for each mode.

Effects of the Invention Since the present invention is configured as described above, the display controller changes the display color of the color display according to the content set by the mode setting means, so the current setting mode can be known at a glance. This has the effect of attracting attention and reducing erroneous operations that proceed with work in an unintended mode.
