Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a showcase with a scale that is used when a sales format is adopted in which products are weighed and sold.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, in this type of showcase with scales, if the scales protruded from the top surface of the showcase, it would get in the way. It is common practice to install the device so that it is aligned with the top surface of the device.

Further, in a showcase, it is necessary to adjust the temperature, humidity, lighting, etc., and the function of making such adjustments and the control of the scale are sometimes performed by a common control unit.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In conventional showcases with scales, a scale is simply added to a showcase equipped with adjustment functions for temperature, humidity, lighting, etc. while the control section is commonly used. . Therefore, for sales information and its processing, it is necessary to use a separately installed cash register or the like, and the showcase itself does not have such a management function.

Means for Solving Problems A show with a scale is equipped with a scale having an operation part, and a common control part is used to control the scale and control items such as the temperature, humidity, and lighting of the showcase. In the case, there is a tray on which the product is placed, a detector that detects when the product on the tray is removed, a display that displays the product name and unit price, and a total light L of each product and all products. a storage unit that stores management data such as the total sales of the product, the quantity of each product in stock, and the profit of each product;
A printer is provided to print out the display contents of the display device and necessary information.

Since there is a display that displays the name and unit price of the product, customers can see the sales information from the front side of the showcase, and a detector installed in the tray automatically identifies the product being sold. In addition, all of the sales information is stored in the storage unit, which allows sales management to be performed in the showcase itself.Also, a hard copy of the sales details and other necessary information is printed using a printer. It is configured so that it is possible to obtain the following.

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

First, the showcase 1 has a product display section 3 surrounded by a glass plate 2, and has a flat top plate 4 on its upper surface.

A scale 5 with a saucer 5A positioned at the same height as the top plate 4 is mounted on the top of the showcase 1 and is held by a holder 6. Further, the product display section 3 is provided with a plurality of shelves 7, and a tray 9 on which products are placed is placed on the shelf 7 via a detector 8 that detects changes in weight.
There are several. On the customer side of these trays 9, a display 10 is provided for each tray 9 to display the product name and unit price of the product placed on the tray 9.

These displays 10 are made of electrical displays such as electronic display tubes or liquid crystal displays, and are provided so as to be detachable and movable.

Next, on the customer side of the showcase 1, each side display 11 connected to the scale 5 is provided. Further, a shop-side display 12 is provided on the shop staff side of the showcase 1, and an operation section 13 for the scale 5 is provided next to the shop-side display 12. Furthermore, a drawer 14 and printers 15 and 16 are provided on the shop side of the showcase 1.

Regarding the electrical circuit, a CPU-based control section 18 connected to a power source 17 is provided, and this control section 18 includes the operation section 13 and the drawer 1.
4, the scale 5, the printer 15.16, the display 1
0, each side display 11, the shop side display 12, and the detector 8 are connected, respectively. Further, the control section 18 is connected to a temperature/humidity adjustment function section 19 and a lighting section 20 provided in the showcase. Further, the control section 18 is connected to a storage section 21 that stores management data such as the total sales of each product, the total sales of all products, the inventory amount of each product, and the profit of each product.

In such a configuration, predetermined products are placed on the trays 9, and the display section 10 corresponding to each tray 9 displays the product name and unit price of the product.

Further, the control section 18 controls the lighting section 20 and the temperature/humidity adjustment function section 19 inside the showcase 1, so that the inside of the showcase 1 is illuminated at a constant level and the temperature and humidity are kept under predetermined conditions. It is managed by.

When selling products in this state, the product specified by the customer is removed from the tray 9, but the weight change or vibration that occurs at this time is detected by the detector 8, and the tray 9 is identified. Since the information is transmitted to the scale 5 via , the product settings are automatically made. Then, the price and the like are calculated by weighing the product, and the price and the like are displayed on the container display section 11 and the shop side display section 12. Further, the display contents are registered in the storage section 21 by operating the operation section 13, and at the same time, journal recording and receipt issuance are performed by the printers 15 and 16. Further, when money is transferred or received, the drawer 14 is opened to store the money.

Such sales results are stored in the storage unit 21 as management data such as total sales of each product, total sales of all products, inventory amount of each product, profit of each product, etc., and are used as comprehensive data for sales management. Saved.

In actual practice, since the display of products on the tray 9 in the showcase 1 changes depending on the day, a timer is built into the control section 18 so that the display contents on the display 10 change as the date changes. It may be configured to change automatically.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention includes a scale having an operation part, and controls the scale and adjustment items such as the temperature, humidity, and lighting of the showcase using a common control part. In the column showcase, there is a tray on which products are placed, a detector that detects when a product on the tray is removed, a display that displays the product name and unit price, and a display that displays the total sales and unit price of each product. We have installed a storage unit that stores management data such as total sales of all products, stock amount of each product, profit of each product, etc., and a printer that prints the display contents and necessary information on the display unit, so that it is possible to easily identify product names and other information. Since there is a display that displays the unit price, customers can see the sales information from the front side of the showcase, and the detector installed in the tray can automatically identify the products being sold. Moreover, all of the sales information is stored in the storage unit, so that sales management can be performed in the showcase itself, and a hard copy of sales details and other necessary information can be obtained using a printer. It has the following effects.
