Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The refueling device of the present invention is provided with a card-based information display at a location separate from the card reader, so that the reader can be housed in a small volume. Because it can be made large, it is easy to see and can display a wide variety of information, namely, a card reader, a storage section that stores card-based information such as information,
A refueling amount indicator or an information display based on a card provided near it is connected to the control means, and based on the signal read by the card reader, information based on the card such as information stored in the storage unit is used. Information is displayed on the information display.

Next, to explain the drawings, a card reader 3 is provided to the nozzle valve 2 of the hanging refueling hose 1,
A lower switch 4 and a higher switch 5 are provided near the nozzle valve 2 to rotate the forward/reverse motor for lifting and lowering the hose in the forward and reverse directions.

Connect the underground tank and hose 1 to the pump motor 6.
Connected by piping via a flow meter 7 and a solenoid valve 8,
Connect the output terminal of the flow meter 7 to the oil supply amount indicator 9.

The output terminals of the lower switch 4, the higher switch 5, the flow meter 7, and the card reader 3 are connected to the control circuit 10.

The output terminal of the control circuit is connected to a hose lifting mechanism 11 a refueling machine control section 12 an oil type display lamp 13 an information lamp 14 an expiration date lamp 15 an operation error lamp 16 an oil supply amount indicator 9 a storage circuit 17 and a slip issuing machine 18.

The input/output terminals of the control circuit 10 are connected to the input/output terminals of the card element storage section 19.

An information display section 20 based on a card provided near the fuel amount indicator 9 is provided with a fuel dispenser number 21, an oil type display lamp 13, an information lamp 14, an expiration date lamp 15, and an operation error lamp 16.

Next, how to use it is as follows: When the lowering switch 4 is closed, the hose lifting mechanism 11 is activated, the motor rotates normally, and the hose 1 is lowered.

The card is loaded into the reader 3 and moved by hand to be read.

If the reading is incomplete due to an error in the operation of moving the card, the operation error lamp 16 will be lit for 30 seconds by the output of the control circuit 10, and the reading operation will be repeated.

If the used card has passed its expiration date, the expiration date lamp 15 lights up for 30 seconds.

If the card used is a fraudulent card, the information lamp 14 lights up for 30 seconds.

In the case described in the above three items, the solenoid valve 8 does not open or the pump motor 6 does not rotate, so refueling is impossible and the oil type display lamp 13 does not blink.

Then, once the correct card is read accurately,
The read output is introduced into the control circuit 10 and compared with the input from the card element storage section 19. If the information has been input to the storage section 19 in advance, the information lamp 14 will blink, indicating that the oil level is low. Perform inspections, etc.

Furthermore, the pump motor 6 is rotated by the output of the refueling machine control section 12, and the solenoid valve 8 is opened to become ready for refueling, and at the same time, the oil type display lamp 13 blinks to indicate that refueling is possible.

Next, open nozzle valve 2 and refuel.
The amount of oil supplied is displayed on the oil amount display meter 9 based on the output of the flow meter 7.

When the lift switch 5 is closed after refueling, the hose lift mechanism 11 operates and the hose 1 rises.
The pump motor 6 is activated by the output of the fuel supply machine control unit 12.
stops, the solenoid valve 8 closes, making it impossible to refuel, the oil type display lamp 13 stops flashing, and the slip issuing machine 1
A slip with a lubrication element number 8 printed thereon is issued, and this lubrication element is stored in the storage circuit 17.

Note that the oil type display lamp 13 is lit at night, and blinks when refueling is possible.

Note that the card reader does not necessarily need to be installed near the nozzle valve, but may be hung from the case of the hose lifting mechanism, and one reader installed in a position that does not interfere with the movement of the car can read multiple cards. A refueling device may also be operated.

Then, as each lamp blinks, the output of the reader 3 indicates the information display section 20 based on the card.
It is clearly shown that it is working.

Since the refueling device of the present invention is provided with a card-based information display at a location separate from the card reader,
Only the reader can be housed in a small volume at a desired location, which simplifies the refueling operation.

Furthermore, since the display device can be provided over a large area, it is easy to see and there is no risk of overlooking it.

Furthermore, since we have provided a separate storage unit that stores information based on the card in advance, in addition to the very small amount of information stored on the card itself, such as the card number, various information such as the timing of oil inspection can be stored on the card. It can be displayed for each customer and is useful for improving service at the gas station.
