Description

Gas station system

The present invention relates to a system in a gas station that supplies fuel to vehicles and the like.

A refueling system (metering machine) installed at a gas station is required to have a flow rate verification every 7 years in order to maintain fair business transactions, and the instrumental error of the flowmeter is required to be within ± 0.5%. ing. In connection with this, the applicant has provided a fueling device that reliably prevents instrumental error tampering (see Patent Document 1). In recent years, information on gas stations has also been converted into data by a server and connected to a network, so that the information can be freely exchanged and a large amount of data (big data) can be collected. And it is desired to analyze such a large amount of data in real time, create new value, make it usable, and adapt to the social environment. From this point of view, it is desirable to ensure that information about the gas station is managed and that it can be used immediately when necessary.

In the current refueling device and its internal equipment, QR code (registered trademark) is attached to manage equipment data. However, the device data managed by the QR code is data (model number, manufacturing number, etc.) at the time of shipment (at the time of initial verification) and does not include data after operation. In particular, the refueling system updates the expiration date after recertification and manages the history of parts replacement maintenance. However, such updates and history management take time to collate data, and verification A great deal of labor and time had to be spent on inspection, maintenance, etc. And, management using QR codes in which only data at the time of shipment is recorded is not useful for such update and history management. And it is difficult to reliably manage information about the gas station and make it available immediately when necessary.

Device information, maintenance information, and the like of the fueling device 100 accessible from the first Web site are recorded in the management server 40. In FIG. 2, device information, maintenance information, and the like recorded in the management server 40 are indicated by reference numerals INF1 and INF2. Here, in addition to the URL, the individual number of the flow meter and the like can be recorded in the detected part 10.

Further, the fueling apparatus 100 includes an identification code (second detected part) 26 in which the URL of the second Web site is recorded. In the second Web site, information related to the refueling apparatus 100 that can be browsed by the user, for example, data at the time of shipment (model number, manufacturing number, etc.) and the expiration date until the next verification are recorded. However, information other than the URL can also be recorded with the identification code 26. Information that can be accessed from the second Web site is also recorded in the management server 40, and is indicated by the symbol INF2 in FIG. Here, even if accessed from the second Web site, the information in the management server 40 is not rewritten. The identification code 26 can be a QR code, a barcode, an IC tag different from the detected part 10 or the like.

In FIG. 2, for example, at the time of re-verification, the worker 30 who has re-verified the information regarding the end of the verification (for example, the date of re-validation, the name of the re-verifier, etc.) (Information signal line A). When the measurement manager 41 checks and approves the maintenance information output from the revalidation operator 30, the measurement manager 41 inputs the maintenance information to the management server 40 (information signal line B). On the contrary, if the measurement manager 41 does not approve the maintenance information, the information is not input to the management server 40 and information indicating that it is not approved is output to the re-verification operator 30 (information signal line G).

Revalidation data such as revalidation date, instrument difference adjustment log (instrument adjustment value), and password required for instrument difference adjustment work (or maintenance work) are measured as maintenance information via the GS centralized monitoring device 20. It is output to the manager 41 (information signal line C). Here, if the password is changed daily (DAILY PASSWORD), for example, a person who knows the password from a retired person is prevented from misusing the password. The measurement manager 41 checks the information (maintenance information) output via the GS centralized monitoring device 20, and inputs the information to the management server 40 (information signal line B) if approved. Conversely, if the measurement manager 41 does not approve the maintenance information, the information is not input to the management server 40 and information indicating that the approval is not approved is output to the GS centralized monitoring device 20 (information signal line E). When maintenance information approved by the weighing manager 41 is input to the management server 40, the information in the management server 40 is updated to the latest information, and is displayed on the first website (data adjustment). Value etc.) is also updated.

In the inspection and parts replacement, the maintenance worker 30, the GS centralized monitoring device 20, the management server 40, and the measurement manager 41 exchange information similar to the above, and maintenance information approved by the measurement manager 41 (maintenance date, Maintenance contents, replacement parts, etc.) are recorded in the management server 40. Details of the procedure at the time of inspection and the procedure at the time of maintenance will be described later.

In FIG. 2, the management server 40 records equipment information and maintenance information related to each refueling device 100 of the gas station GS after obtaining the approval of the measurement manager 41. The information can be accessed on each of the first and second Web sites. Information that can be accessed from the first Web site includes device information (for example, device model number, manufacturing number, manufacturing date, etc.), maintenance information (update record of verification deadline, update record of instrument difference adjustment value) , History of parts replacement (for example, oil nozzle replacement, pump filter replacement, etc.), etc. (information INF1 in FIG. 2), and access by personnel (employees, managers, maintenance personnel) at the gas station GS Is available. In order to access the first Web site and use the maintenance information stored in the management server 40, data reference authority (password or the like) is required. Information accessible from the second Web site is a part of the device information (for example, the model number and serial number of the device, the date of manufacture) and a part of the maintenance information (for example, the deadline until the next verification). (Information INF2 in FIG. 2), it is assumed that the user accesses and uses.

For inspection, parts replacement work, etc., the worker 30 reads the URL recorded in the detected part 10 and can access maintenance information (part replacement history, etc.) accessible on the management website (first website). ) (Information signal line D). The worker 30 uses a reader dedicated to the gas station GS in order to read the URL of the detected part 10. In other words, in the illustrated embodiment, the URL of the detected part 10 cannot be read unless a reader dedicated to the gas station GS is used. The maintenance information obtained by accessing the first Web site allows the operator 30 to immediately grasp the history of updates, parts replacement, etc. As a result, labor and time for inspection work are reduced.

The worker 30 who performed maintenance work with reference to the maintenance information of the management server 40 (first Web site) uses the management server as information on maintenance completion (for example, the maintenance date, the name of the maintenance worker, etc.) as maintenance information. It outputs to 40 measurement managers 41 (information signal line A). The measurement manager 41 checks the maintenance information (for example, the maintenance date, the name of the maintenance worker, etc.) output from the maintenance worker 30, and when the maintenance information is approved, inputs it to the management server 40 (information signal) Line B). When the measurement manager 41 does not approve the maintenance information, it does not input to the management server 40 and outputs to the maintenance worker 30 that it does not approve (information signal line G).

Maintenance data such as maintenance date, maintenance content such as parts replacement, and password required for maintenance work are output as maintenance information to the weighing manager 41 via the GS centralized monitoring device 20 (information signal line C ). The measurement manager 41 checks the information (maintenance information) output via the GS centralized monitoring device 20, and when the information is approved, inputs it to the management server 40 (information signal line B). If the measurement manager 41 does not approve the maintenance information, the information is not input to the management server 40 and information indicating that the maintenance is not approved is output to the GS centralized monitoring device 20 (information signal line E). In the illustrated embodiment, when re-verification data, inspection data, and maintenance data are transmitted to the weighing manager 41 of the management server 40, items to be transmitted from the operator 30 (re-verification date, maintenance date, re-verifier, etc.) ) And items to be transmitted from the GS centralized monitoring device 20 (re-examination content, maintenance content, etc.), and some of them are duplicated. However, re-verification data, inspection data, and maintenance data may be transmitted from only the operator 30 to the measurement manager 41, or may be transmitted from only the GS centralized monitoring device 20 to the measurement manager 41.

The management server 40 transmits a verification deadline (revalidation deadline) to the GS centralized monitoring device 20 (information signal line F). In addition, the management server 40 transmits the verification deadline (revalidation deadline) to the weighing manager 41 (information signal line I). If the management server 40 sends the time limit for re-verification of each refueling device 100 at the gas station GS to the GS centralized monitoring device 20 based on the re-verification history, the re-verification of each refueling device 100 is surely performed. Can do. Similarly, based on the recorded maintenance history, a time limit for maintenance is transmitted from the management server 40 to the GS centralized monitoring device 20 (information signal line F, start of the time limit from the management server 40 to the measurement manager 41) Is the information signal line I). In addition, the information signal line J has shown the case where maintenance information and apparatus information are inquired as needed via the GS centralized monitoring apparatus 20, for example.

Although not explicitly shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the user reads the URL recorded in the identification code 26 and accesses the second Web site through the information processing network (for example, the Internet). 1 and 2, the information processing network is not shown. The user can determine whether or not the gas station GS to receive the service from now on is properly managed by accessing information accessible from the second Web site.

In the illustrated embodiment, the processing procedure in the fueling apparatus 100 will be described mainly with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 exemplifies a processing procedure when the refueling device 100 is re-verified. However, in the inspection and maintenance, the same processing as in FIG. 3 is performed. In FIG. 3, in step S31, it is determined whether or not the instrumental difference adjustment switch 23 (FIG. 2) has been pressed. When the instrumental difference adjustment switch 23 is pressed in step S31 (step S31; Yes), the process proceeds to step S32. On the other hand, when the instrument difference adjustment switch 23 is not pressed in step S31 (step S31; No), the process returns to step S31.

In step S32, the operator inputs a password required for performing the instrumental error adjustment work, the maintenance work, and the like at a predetermined location. Then, the process proceeds to step S33. In step S33, it is determined whether or not the password input in step S32 is valid. If it is determined in step S33 that the password is valid (step S33; Yes), the process proceeds to step S34. On the other hand, if the result of determination in step S33 is that the password is not valid (step S33; No), the process ends.

In step S34, the instrumental difference adjustment value is updated, and the process proceeds to step S35. In step S35, in response to the re-verification, the maintenance record and password, such as the update record of the verification due date, the update record of the instrument difference adjustment value, and the maintenance record for parts replacement etc. performed at the same time, are stored in the re-verification data. Is transmitted to the weighing manager 41 of the management server 40 via the GS centralized monitoring device 20 (information signal line C in FIG. 2). Then, the process ends. The data transmitted in step S35 is transmitted to the step S41 of the processing procedure in the measurement manager 41 in FIG. At the time of inspection and maintenance, the worker reads the URL of the detected unit 10, accesses the first Web site, grasps maintenance information (part replacement history, etc.), and then starts work.

Next, the processing procedure in the weighing manager 41 (the manager of the management server 40) will be described mainly with reference to FIG. In FIG. 4, it is determined whether or not re-verification data is received in step S41. As the re-verification data, for example, the date of the re-verification and the name of the worker who performed the re-validation are transmitted from the worker 30 (whose portable terminal: portable information processing device) who performed the re-validation. (Information signal line A in FIG. 2). Also, as re-verification data, maintenance records (update date of verification deadline, update record of instrument difference adjustment value, maintenance record such as parts replacement performed at the same time), password, etc. via the GS centralized monitoring device 20 Is transmitted (information signal line C in FIG. 2). As described above, re-verification data, inspection data, and maintenance data may be transmitted from only the operator 30 to the weighing manager 41, or may be transmitted from only the GS centralized monitoring device 20 to the weighing manager 41. good.

If the re-verification data is received in step 41 (step S41; Yes), the process proceeds to step S42. On the other hand, when re-examination data is not received in step S41 (step S41; No), the process returns to step S41 and the processing procedure is continued. In step S42, the measurement manager 41 determines whether or not the revalidation data has been updated normally. When the measurement manager 41 determines that the revalidation data has been updated normally (step S42; Yes), the measurement manager 41 approves the revalidation data and proceeds to step S43. On the other hand, when the measurement manager 41 determines that the revalidation data has not been properly updated (step S42; No), the process returns to step S42. Although not shown in FIG. 4, in the case of “No” in step S42, the measurement manager 41 transmits to the gas station GS or the operator that “no revalidation data is approved” (the information signal in FIG. 2). Line G) encourages resubmission of revalidation data.

In step S43, the weighing manager 41 inputs the approved revalidation data to the management server 40 and updates the revalidation data (information signal line B). Then, the processing procedure ends. Data for inputting and updating the re-verification data in step S43 is sent in step S51 of the processing procedure in the management server 40 in FIG. Although FIG. 4 illustrates the processing procedure when performing re-verification, processing at the time of inspection and maintenance is also performed according to FIG.

The processing procedure in the management server 40 will be described mainly with reference to FIG. In FIG. 5, in step S <b> 51, it is determined whether or not the revalidation data is input to the management server 40 by the measurement manager 41. The re-verification data to the management server 40 is sent from step S43 in FIG. When re-verification data is input in step S51 (step S51; Yes), the process proceeds to step S52. On the other hand, when re-examination data is not input in step S51 (step S51; No), the process returns to step S51 and the processing procedure is continued.

In step S52, the revalidation data in the management server 40 is updated. By updating the revalidation data, the latest verification date, the next verification deadline date, the latest instrumental difference adjustment value, and the revalidator name are updated. As a result of the update, data relating to re-verification accessible from the first and second Web sites is also updated. FIG. 5 exemplifies a processing procedure when re-examination is performed, and processing at the time of inspection and maintenance is also performed according to FIG.

In the illustrated embodiment, not only a person involved in the verification of the gas station GS but also a user who uses the gas station GS can access the management server 40 and check necessary information. In step S61 of FIG. 6 showing the processing procedure of the user, the user reads the URL recorded in the identification code 26 by the information device, and accesses the second Web site through the information processing network (for example, the Internet). In step S62, information that can be accessed from the second website to the information device (part of the information of the fueling device, for example, model number, manufacturing number, latest test date, use date until next test, which is data at the time of shipment) (Expiration date) is displayed and the user confirms it, so that the service can be received at the gas station GS with confidence. When step S62 ends, the processing procedure of FIG. 6 ends.
