Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a weighing and pricing apparatus that has a function of tabulating and printing out the processing results for each store for products that have been subjected to weighing and pricing processing.

(Prior art and its problems) Conventional weighing and pricing devices continuously weigh pre-packaged products using a packaging machine and perform pricing processing for each store according to the preset number of orders received at each store. There is a type that goes through the following steps. With this type of product, it is necessary to preset the number of orders for each store for pre-packaged products, and once the pricing processing for all stores is completed, processing for each store must be done for production management. Performance must be recorded.

However, with conventional devices, the processes such as setting and registering the number of orders received for each store, adding weighing values, and printing out the processing results are performed serially. There was a problem that it was not possible to register the number of orders and set prices. For example, it takes about 0.6 seconds per store to print the total, so if there are 100 stores, it will take about 1 minute to print the total.
I was unable to set the next product, register the number of orders for each store, and set prices.

(Objective of the Invention) The object of the present invention is to improve the work efficiency when changing weighing products by making it possible to set the next product, register the number of orders for each store, and set prices even while printing totals. The purpose is to provide a pricing device.

(Summary of the Invention) The measurement value attaching device of the present invention includes a means for carrying in a product prepackaged by a packaging machine, a means for detecting the weight of the carried product, a controller to which the detected weight signal is input, a first memory in which information such as a store name is stored as a code number; a key input section that operates a controller to read information stored in the first memory by inputting the code number; a display section to display;
The label printer prints the predetermined items on the label based on the output signal of the controller that has executed the predetermined arithmetic processing, the label attaches the printed label to the product, and the process of attaching the weighing value for all stores to one product has been completed. In some cases, the system is equipped with a second memory in which the processing performance data is stored, and a tally printer into which the data stored in the second memory is input and outputs a predetermined tally list, and performs the weighing value addition process and the tally. The feature is that printer processing can be executed simultaneously.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of the metric value assigning device of the present invention. The products pre-packaged by the packaging machine 1 installed close to the weight marking device are carried through the introduction conveyor 2 to the weighing conveyor 3.
A weight signal detected by a sensor such as a load cell is input to a controller 4 comprising a microcomputer or the like. The product name code number for each product and the code number for each store are registered in advance in the registration memory 7, and the operator operates the key input unit 6 to input the product name code number and store code number of the product to be weighed from the registration memory to the controller 4. When called, the controller calculates the price of the weighed product based on the preset unit price and the weight input from the weighing conveyor, and sends necessary information such as date, weight, price, etc. to the label printer 9. A label printer prints this information in a predetermined field on a label using a thermal head. The label created by the label printer 9 is sent to the label 10, and the label 10 is attached to the product on the attaching conveyor 11.
Necessary items such as the weight and price of the product are displayed on the display section 5.

When the weighing and pricing processing for one product for all stores is completed, the processing performance data for that product (results of how many products have been weighed and priced at which store) is temporarily transferred to the total printer memory 8. Thereafter, the controller calls up the data stored in the memory for tally printing, sends this data to the tally printer 12, and the tally printer 12 outputs the tally list 13. In parallel with the tabulation printing process, another product pre-packaged by the packaging machine 1 is transferred via the introduction conveyor 2 to the weighing conveyor 3.
, and the weighing value attaching process is performed continuously in the same manner as described above. In addition to the list of processing results for each item and store, the tally printer 12 also outputs a list of processing results for each store, a list of actual items for each store, and the like.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure according to the present invention. Next, this flowchart will be explained.

(1) Start the main program and check whether the weighing device is ready for measurement (step P ₁ ). If it is not ready for measurement, proceed to step P7, and if it is possible to weigh it, proceed to step _P7 .
Weighing process (step P ₂ ), pricing process (step P2)
P ₃ ).

(2) Check whether pricing processing for weighed products has been completed in all stores (step P ₄ ), and if it has not been completed, proceed to step P _7. If it has been completed, check the processing results. Transfer the data to the total print memory (step _P5 ). Next, set the result printing flag to “H” (step
_P6 ).

(3) Check whether the key is on (step
_P7 ), if the key is not on, the process proceeds to step _P9 ; if the key is on, key processing is executed (step _P8 ), and it is checked whether the record printing flag is "H" (step _P9 ). If the result printing flag is not “H”, proceed to step _P1 .
Return to the process below.

(4) When the actual printing flag is "H", next check whether the label printer is busy (step _P10 ), and if it is "busy", return to the processing from step _P1 onwards. When it is not in the "Busy" state, one line of print data is output to the tally printer (step _P11 ).

(5) Next, check whether all data in the total print memory has been output (step P ₁₂ ),
If the printing is not completed, the process returns to step _P1 , and if it is completed, the process proceeds to step _P13 , where the result printing flag is set to "L" and the processes from step _P1 are repeated.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the tally pricing device of the present invention has a separate memory for printing tallies in addition to the registration memory in which product names and store names are registered with code numbers. , even when the weighing value assignment process for a certain product is finished and the total data is output from the tally printer, the weighing value assignment process for the next product can be performed continuously without interruption, so when switching weighing products. This provides the advantage of improved work efficiency.
