Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a refueling device that is provided with a display unit that displays the amount of refueled and the amount of refueled on both sides.

[Prior art]

As is well known, at a gas station, cars that want to refuel stop on either side of an island where a refueling device is installed, and workers refuel cars parked on either side of the refueling device. It's becoming like that. Therefore, in such a refueling device, display portions for displaying, for example, the amount of gasoline refueled are provided on both sides. As such oil supply devices, there are known two types: a so-called double type, in which two oil supply devices are built into the case, and a single type, in which only one oil supply device is built in. According to the prior art, whether it is a single type or a double type, the refueling nozzle is hung on a nozzle hook fixed to the side of the refueling device, which has an overall box shape. You must go to the side of the refueling system, remove the refueling nozzle from the nozzle hook, and carry the refueling nozzle to the filler opening of the fuel tank of a car parked on either side of the refueling system. Normally, when refueling a car, the fuel tank is parked on either side of the refueling device with the side with the refueling port facing the refueling device, so installing a nozzle hook on one side of the refueling device will make the job easier. Although it is easy to do so, it is difficult to refuel cars parked at opposite refueling positions, and it is wasteful to provide refueling nozzles at each refueling position so that it is easy to refuel on either side. .

For example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-109526 discloses a fuel supply device in which a nozzle hook is rotatably provided on a support supporting the case of the fuel supply device. However, in such known technology, since the nozzle hook is located below the case of the oil supply device, the case gets in the way when the nozzle is hooked and unhooked. Since the direction in which the hook rotates coincides with the direction in which the nozzle rotates, it is relatively difficult to remove or remove the nozzle, resulting in poor workability and operability.

[Purpose of the invention]

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make the nozzle easy to handle for cars parked on either side;
An object of the present invention is to provide a lubricating device with good workability when operating a nozzle.

[Structure of the invention]

According to the present invention, in a refueling device provided with a display section that displays the amount of refueled oil on both sides, a space is provided between an upper case having the display section and a lower case housing a flow meter, etc. A nozzle hook that rotates around a vertical axis is provided on the upper surface of the lower case located in the space, and the vertical axis is located on the center line of the oil supply device in a direction parallel to the display surface of the display section. The hung nozzle is located at a position where it protrudes from the upper case when the nozzle is rotated to either side of the refueling position.

[Function and effect of the invention]

Therefore, no matter which side of the refueling system the vehicle is parked on, the nozzle can be removed by moving the nozzle hook in that direction about the vertical axis. Moreover, the nozzle may be hung on the nozzle hook after the refueling operation is completed. At that time, the nozzle hung on the nozzle hook rotates on the top surface of the lower case, which is the space between the upper case and the lower case, and the nozzle protrudes from the upper case on the refueling position side, making it easy to grasp the nozzle. In addition, when gripping the nozzle or hanging it on the nozzle hook, the direction of force is mainly in the direction of the vertical axis, so the nozzle hook can be moved in and out in a direction that will not accidentally rotate. Improves workability and operability.

That is, according to the present invention, the nozzle is easy to handle because the upper surface of the lower case is a dead space and the upper surface is at a height that is easily accessible to the operator. Furthermore, the display section of the upper case can be provided at a position that is easy to see, making it extremely suitable as a fuel supply device.

[Preferred embodiment]

When implementing the present invention, the position of the nozzle hook should be set at a relatively low position to make it easier to attach and detach the refueling nozzle, and to reduce fluctuations in the height of the nozzle hook and the height of the vehicle's fuel filler port. Therefore, there is less operation loss.

In carrying out the present invention, the nozzle hook that rotates around a vertical axis is rotatably attached to a shaft provided vertically on the upper surface of the lower case, or a rotating shaft provided integrally with the nozzle hook is attached to the lower case. It may be rotatably provided on the top surface.

The nozzle hook may rotate within the upper surface of the lower case, or may protrude from the lower case and rotate. However, in order to make the nozzle easier to grip, it is necessary to make the gripping portion of the nozzle protrude outward from the upper case at the refueling position.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show a preferred refueling system embodying the present invention, in which an island 1 is provided on the ground surface E.
A box-shaped lower case 2 is installed on the holder, and a box-shaped upper case 4 is attached to the case 2 via a support 3, and a refueling amount display section 5 is attached to the upper case 4. . Equipment such as a motor, a pump, and a flow meter are provided inside the lower case 2, and display sections 5 are provided on both sides of the upper case 4. The refueling pipe 6 extends through the support column 3 into the display section 5 and is connected to one end of the refueling hose 7. A refueling nozzle 8 is connected to the other end of the refueling hose 7.

and in the illustrated embodiment of the invention, generally designated by the reference numeral 9.
The nozzle hook indicated by is the upper surface 2a of the lower case 2,
That is, it is rotatably provided in the space between the upper case 4 and the lower case 2 as described later. Therefore, the nozzle hook 9 can be rotated between the A position and the B position shown by the dotted line in FIG.

FIG. 3 shows a specific example of the nozzle hook 9 implemented in the present invention. 1 part 9a and a second part 9b that engages with the guard part 8b of the valve opening lever 8c of the refueling nozzle 8. 9b is open at the top and has a nozzle switch 1 at the end.
0 is set. This nozzle switch 10 is designed so that when the refueling nozzle 8 is hooked, the guard portion 8b comes into contact with the actuator 10a.Therefore, when the refueling nozzle 8 is removed from the nozzle hook 9, the nozzle switch 10 is activated. The display unit 5 is reset, a pump drive motor (not shown) is started, and the oil supply device becomes ready for oil supply.

A hollow rotating shaft 11 is fixed to the first portion 9a of the nozzle hook 9, and the rotating shaft 11 is located on the center line in the longitudinal direction of the lower case 2, that is, in the direction parallel to the display surface of the display unit, as shown in the figure. It is rotatably supported by a bearing section 12 provided on the upper surface. Rotating axis 1
A signal line 13 extending from the nozzle switch 10 passes through the hollow portion 11a of the nozzle switch 10.

Therefore, if the car stops on the dotted line A side in Figure 2, the worker should move the nozzle hook to the dotted line A side.
If the car is stopped on the dotted line B side, the nozzle hook may be rotated to the dotted line B side. Since the nozzle is located at a position protruding from the upper case 4, the nozzle can be easily operated. Therefore, the worker can remove the refueling nozzle 8 from the nozzle hook 9 and immediately insert the refueling nozzle 8 into the refueling port of the fuel tank at that position without walking around much, improving work efficiency.

[Summary] As described above, according to the present invention, since the nozzle hook is rotated using the dead space between the upper case and the lower case, it can be easily applied to cars parked on either side of the fuel supply system. In addition to being able to refuel, the nozzle is easy to handle, improving operability and workability.
