Description

Self-lubricator with input and output means

The present invention relates to a self-lubricator equipped with input and output means, in particular, a self-lubricator equipped with input and output means that the customer can use a credit card or cash input to fill the car with the desired amount of oil and output a receipt. It is about.

Recently, due to the devaluation of the won and the hike in taxes, oil prices are rising at a very high rate, and self-driving drivers feel the increase in car maintenance costs due to oil price hikes. In addition, due to the elimination of gas station distance restrictions, the establishment of gas stations is free, and competition among gas stations is intensifying. Accordingly, many gas stations reduce consumers to their gas stations by minimizing the increase in oil prices or providing additional value-added services. I'm trying to attract. However, despite the limited price competition due to the increase in the cost of oil, many gas stations have suffered severe gas station operation due to excessive bleeding competition. I'm experiencing it. As a result, some gas stations have turned to self-fueling, which is being introduced early by high-wage countries such as the United States, to solve the labor shortage problem and reflect the labor cost reduction factors in oil prices. Doing.

However, many of the current gas tankers are made by assuming a fueling system by gas stations, so there are a lot of problems for the consumers to operate them directly. For example, in order to supply as much oil as desired, consumers go directly to the gas station office and pay the money. After that, fueling has to be done, and therefore, the movement of consumers to get out of the car is not only long, but it also takes a lot of time, which is inconvenient for both consumers and service stations.

In order to solve this problem, in the lubricator provided with the Republic of Korea Utility Model Publication No. 95-4354 No. 95-4354, which was devised by the inventor of the present application published on May 25, 1995 and the optional setting device, the lubricator on one side of the lubricator A card reader connected to a CPU of the present invention and a card reader for reading a fuel card and an oil pump provided with an arbitrary setting device configured to be connected in a circuit so as to differentially control a solenoid of a flowmeter are disclosed.

However, according to a gas tanker equipped with such a known card reader and a random setting device, the consumer can use the credit card or the gas station card to fill a desired amount of oil without going directly to the gas station office, but the cash payment is provided in the known device. There is a problem that the customer who wants to refuel with cash because there is no means is still required to go through the gas station office.

In addition, according to such a known device, there is a problem that a consumer who is not familiar with such a self-lubricator is difficult to use alone, because a means for informing a consumer of a lubricator is not provided.

In addition, according to such a known device, there is a problem that a consumer who has completed fueling needs a receipt through a gas station office when a receipt is required.

The present invention is devised to solve the problems of the conventional apparatus as described above, the object of the present invention is to input and output means that can be directly lubricated by the consumer the amount of oil after paying the cost by cash as well as various cards It is to provide a self-lubricator provided.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a self-lubricator equipped with an input and output means that can be easily operated by the consumer fueled.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a self-lubricator equipped with an input / output means for outputting a receipt if a consumer desires.

In order to achieve the above object, the self-lubricator equipped with the input / output means of the present invention has a central processing unit connected to a POS terminal, a card reader connected to the central processing unit, a printer, an input means, a display means, a bill recognition unit, and a voice output means. Characterized in that it comprises a.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail the configuration and operation relationship of the self-lubricator equipped with the input and output means of the present invention.

1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of an embodiment of a self-lubricator equipped with an input and output means of the present invention, Figure 2 is a block diagram illustrating a circuit configuration of the self-lubricator equipped with an input and output means of the present invention, as shown The self-lubricator equipped with the input / output means of the present invention has a central processing unit (CPU) 10, a card reader 7 connected to the central processing unit, a printer 9, an input keypad 5, an LCD panel 3, and a voice. It comprises an output means 21 and the banknote recognition unit 17.

The input keypad 5 is provided with a plurality of input keys, whereby it is possible to select the desired payment means, fueling amount and the like. The banknote recognition unit 17 is composed of a banknote inlet 11, a conveying unit and a sensing unit (not shown), the banknote inserted into the banknote inlet 11 is supplied to the sensing unit via the conveying unit, the sensing unit of the banknote Detect magnetic components or optical methods, ie, install light-emitting diodes and light-emitting diodes facing each other, locate banknotes transferred between them, and detect banknotes by detecting the amount of transmitted light according to the shape of banknotes, or pattern patterns on banknote surface The amount of reflected light is detected to recognize the bill, and the recognition information is transmitted to the central processing unit 10.

The central processing unit 10 of the self-lubricator equipped with the input and output means of this configuration is connected to a Point of Sales (POS) computer.

Hereinafter, the operation relationship of the self-lubricator provided with the input and output means of the present invention of the above configuration is as follows.

If you pay by credit card and want to refuel, the consumer passes the credit card to the card reader. Subsequently, if the oil supply amount is set, the central processing unit 10 of the self-lubricator 1 processes the input information and transmits the information to the POS 15. All these processes are displayed on the LCD (3) to guide the use of the consumer, as well as the use of voice is guided by the voice output means 21, even if the first person to use the self-lubricator can be oiled without any difficulty . On the other hand, when the credit card information is transmitted to the POS 15, the POS 15 inquires the card by communication, and when the authorization number comes out, it transmits a fueling start command to the self-lubricator. When the fueling is enabled, the LCD and the voice output means guide the fueling start, and when the fueling is completed, the consumer presses a receipt key to receive a receipt output from the printer 9 and complete the oiling operation.

On the other hand, if you want to refuel after paying by cash, the consumer puts cash into the banknote 11. In this embodiment, the use of 1000 won, 5000 won, and 10,000 won bills is enabled. The inserted banknote is placed in the sensing unit via the banknote conveying unit, and then information about the amount of money sensed by the sensing unit is transmitted to the central processing unit 10 to set the oil feeder in a state capable of refueling. Since the fueling operation is the same as in the case of the credit card described above, description thereof will be omitted.

Hereinafter, the effect of the self-lubricator provided with the input and output means of the subject innovation of the above configuration.

According to the self-lubricator equipped with the input / output means of the present invention, a voice output means and an LCD panel are provided to visually guide the oil filling procedure and guide the oil filling procedure by voice support, even if the consumer has a feeling of rejection in the operation of the machine. It is possible to one-stop self-lubrication by being able to easily fill the desired amount of oil by credit card or cash and then receive a receipt from the printer installed in the lubricator (1) without the help of the gas supplier. The labor cost reduction effect can be reflected in the oil price, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of the gas station.
