Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a weighing printing device such as a label printer with a scale.

An object of the present invention is to provide a weighing and printing device that can extremely easily issue labels when the price is fixed, in addition to the normal use condition where the price changes depending on the weight of the product.

The present invention includes at least a printing part that prints the product name, unit price, weight, and price on the label, a selection part that specifies whether the label is automatically issued, manual issuance, or a fixed amount issuance, and an issue key for proceeding with the work selected by the selection part. A scale unit is provided which is connected to the label issuing unit and has a unit price display unit, a weight display unit, a price display unit, and a unit price setting key, and when fixed price issuance is specified in the selection unit, The unit price display section and the weight display section are dimmed, and the price display section displays O. The numerical value set by the operation of the unit price setting key becomes the price, and the numerical value is displayed on the price display section. This is characterized in that the label issuing department prints the price and product name on the label for fixed-rate printing.

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

First, the label issuing section 1 and the weighing section 2 are formed separately, and are electrically connected by a connecting cord 3.

The label issuing section 1 has a panel board 4 and a label issuing port 5 on the front thereof, and at least the product name, unit price, weight,
A printed label 7 is provided with a printing section for printing the price.
are formed so as to be issued sequentially from the label issuing port 5.

The panel board 4 also includes a date setting section 8 for printing the date on the label 7, a select button 9 serving as a selection section for setting automatic issue, manual issue, and fixed amount issue of the label 7; Issue key 10, date deletion key 11, unit price deletion key 12, and weight deletion key 13, which are operated in addition to the
, a price deletion key 14 , and a power switch 15 .

Next, the weighing section 2 has a weighing pan 16, and a unit price display section 17, a weight display section 18, and a price display section 19 are provided on the front thereof, and a unit price setting key 20 consisting of a numeric keypad or the like is provided below. It is provided.

A CPU 21 is provided inside the weighing section 2.

The detection unit as a scale connected to the weighing pan 16 is a photoelectric conversion unit 22 that photoelectrically detects a slit that responds to weight, and the signal from this photoelectric conversion unit 22 is counted by a counter 23 and sent to the CPU 21. Connected as given.

The CPU 21 is also connected to a display drive circuit 24, and a display tube 25 constituting the unit price display section 17, weight display section 18, and price display section 19 is connected to the display drive circuit 24.

The CPU 21 and the display drive circuit 24 also have a key matrix 2 configured by the unit price setting key 20.
6 is connected.

Furthermore, an interface 22 is connected to the CPU 21, and the label issuing unit 1 is connected via this interface 27.

To explain the operation in a normal state where the price changes according to the weight in such a configuration, first, the unit price determined by the product is keyed in using the unit price setting key 20, and the value is displayed on the unit price display section 17. A key matrix 26 is fixed thereto to define subsequent operation.

When the product is placed on the weighing plate 16, its weight is detected, the weight value is displayed on the weight display section 18, and the CPU 21 performs calculations to calculate the price, which is displayed on the price display section 19.

The unit price, weight, and price data are then sent to the label issuing unit 1. If the select button 9 is set to automatic, a label 7 with the necessary information printed is automatically issued, and if it is set to manual, the label 7 is automatically issued. By pressing the issue key 10, the label 7 is issued.

Next, some products have prices set in advance, without even having to be weighed.

In such a case, the select button 9 is set to fixed price issue, and the weighing unit 2 acts as a price setting device.

That is, when fixed price issuance is set, the display tubes 25 of the unit price display section 17 and weight display section 18 are dimmed, and the price display section 19 is turned off.
displays O.

At this time, the unit price setting key 20 becomes a price setting key, and the price is determined by operating this unit price setting key 20.

As a result, the value is set in the price display section 19.

Then, by pressing the issue key 10 of the label issuing unit 1, a label 7 on which the date, product name, and price are printed is issued.

To explain this kind of operation according to a flowchart, first, a check is made to see if the select button 9 is for fixed price issuance, and if it is NO, the above-mentioned normal issuance is performed, and if YES, the unit price is displayed. The weight display dims, the price display becomes zero, and the price display section 19
Displays zero.

Then, a check is made to see if the unit price setting key 20 has been pressed.

At this time, if NO, the process returns to the previous process and circulates.

When the unit price setting key 20 is pressed, a price is displayed on the price display section 19 until the issue key 10 is pressed, and a check is made to see if it is set to a number from 0 to 9.

Then a check is made to see if the issue key 10 is pressed and if it is a dog than 1 and if they are YES.
If so, the data is transmitted to the label issuing unit 1 as price data.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the label issuing section has functions such as automatic issuing, manual issuing, fixed amount issuing, etc., but when fixed amount issuing is set in the select section, the weighing section normally functions as a unit price setting key. The item serves as a price setting key, and of the various display parts provided on the scale part, only the price display part performs the display operation.This makes it possible to easily issue labels for items whose price does not change.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

The drawings show one embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 1 is a front view, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a label issuing section, FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a weighing section, and FIG. 4 is a flow chart.
