Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a car washing device used at automobile gasoline filling stations and the like.

Generally, car washes using car wash machines at gas stations are divided into regular car washes, which only involve water washing, and wax car washes, which include waxing.In addition, in each type of car wash, the moving circuit of the car wash machine and the final finishing are handled manually. There are many items depending on the finish.

However, it takes a considerable amount of time for the car to be washed, and while the car is being washed, customers are often not present at the service, such as waiting in the gas station office, so they are unable to see what the car wash is doing.

In addition, since gas station workers are engaged in refueling and other tasks while the car wash is in operation, they often forget the details of the car wash, such as when issuing the final slip. There was also a risk that the car wash fee would not be charged.

Furthermore, since the car wash work contents are ordered by appropriately combining various items, the work contents may not be carried out as ordered.

Considering these circumstances, the purpose of the present invention is to
To provide a car wash device that can accurately grasp the contents of car wash work and the corresponding car wash amount at the time of selection, and also can confirm and record them.

However, according to the present invention, the purpose of the lever is to provide a means for selecting the content of car wash work by the car wash machine main body and a content of car wash work by hand, and a calculation means for calculating the car wash amount according to the content of the car wash work selected by the selection means. , a slip issuing means that prints the contents and the car wash amount when the car wash work contents are selected, a car wash amount display meter that displays the car wash amount, and a car wash operation by the car wash machine main body among the car wash contents selected by the selection means. It is equipped with a control device that controls the car wash machine main body based on the content, and is connected to a data input/output device for a gas service station installed in the office, and the data is connected to the data input/output device for a gas service station installed in the office, and the selected car wash work content and the corresponding car wash fee are sent together with customer data. The gist of this is to transmit the data to the input/output device and store it there.

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

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the car wash device of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a front view of the main parts. On the front of the panel 1, for example, there are information such as ``Normal car wash (1 round trip) 300 yen'', ``Wax car wash (1 round trip) 500 yen'', etc., and ``Indoor cleaner 300 yen'', etc. for manual car wash work. A plurality of car wash work details 3 and their amounts 4 by car wash machines and by hand, such as ``300 yen for body wipes'', are listed, and a selection push button and lamp 5 for car wash work is provided, which are numbered sequentially. The operation and display panel 1 includes a car wash fee display 6 and a slip issuing machine 7 for printing the car wash work details, a slip issuing button 8 and a card reader 9.
Incorporate.

FIG. 3 is a block circuit diagram inside the operation and display panel 1, in which the respective output signals a and b from the switch group 5 and the card reader 9 are introduced into the control section 10, and the output signals from the control section 10 are c, d, and e are respectively introduced into the display meter 6, the slip issuing machine 7, and the drive mechanisms for the motor, blower, wax, water, etc. of the car wash machine main body 2.

As shown in Figure 4, there is a data input/output device (hereinafter referred to as
When installing a POS) 11, the POS
11 and the car wash machine, the output signal f of the control unit 10 is introduced into the POS 11.

Next, usage and operation will be explained.

To wash a car, after stopping the car at the car wash location, turn on the numbered switch/lamp according to the customer's order, such as "wax car wash (1 round trip)", "interior cleaner", "body wipe", etc. When button 5 is pressed, these lamps 5 light up, and at the same time the output signal a from the switch 5 enters the control section 10, where the total amount of these car wash operations is calculated and displayed by the output signal c from the control section 10. The total amount of 900 yen is displayed in Total 6. Next, when the slip issuing button 8 is pressed, a slip with the car wash work content name 3 and amount 4 printed on it is issued by the slip issuing machine 7 according to the output signal d from the control unit 10, so that the worker at the gas station can Receive this.

Next, the car wash main body 2 is operated by the output signal e from the control unit 10, and wax car washing (one round trip) is started as a car washing operation by the car wash main body 2. When the car wash work by the car wash machine main body 2 is completed, the worker performs the interior cleaner and body wiping work as a manual car wash work while looking at the issued slip.

Once this manual work is completed, the worker hands the customer a slip along with the receipt.

In addition, without issuing a separate receipt, the slip issuing machine 7
If you use the slip issued by as a receipt,
You do not have to go to the office and payment is made on the spot, which speeds up administrative processing.

In addition, since the car wash machine is connected to the POS 11, the details of the car wash work and the amount are sent from the control unit 10 to the POS 11 by the output signal f and are stored there. Used by workers for guidance and confirmation inside.
For the receipt, enter the slip number in POS11 and send it to POS1
You may issue it from 1.

In addition, when using the card reader 9, if you insert the card given to the customer into the card reader 9,
The output signal from here is input to the POS, and the card data is stored in the POS 11 along with the car wash data, so it is possible to bill all at once at the end of the month, etc.

As described above, the car wash device of the present invention issues a slip containing the contents of the car wash prior to the car wash operation, so the customer can confirm the details of the car wash, and the worker can also use the slip for manual car wash operations. Since you can wash your car while watching it, you won't miss any work.

Furthermore, since the amount is also recorded at the same time, it is possible to accurately bill the charges.

Furthermore, since this slip is issued at the car wash site, that is, at the car wash equipment, it is convenient to be able to confirm it on the spot.
