Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention sets the unit price of a product, measures its weight, and calculates the price by multiplying the unit price and weight.
The present invention relates to a digital display scale device which is formed by interconnecting a plurality of digital display scales that digitally display this price.

``Prior art'' This type of digital display scale sets the unit price corresponding to the asking price, automatically calculates and displays the price according to the weighed weight, and also displays the price of each item when purchasing several items. Some products have the function of displaying the weight of each individual product.

"Problems to be Solved by the Invention" However, with the conventional digital display scales as described above, if the same customer purchases a product using multiple scales placed at various locations in the sales floor, I had to pay for each scale I purchased. This increases the number of tasks such as receiving money, paying change, and issuing receipts, which is extremely inefficient and troublesome for both the customer and the store.

The present invention has been made in view of the deficiencies of conventional digital display scales.

"Means and operations for solving the problems" In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a weighing section that outputs weight data obtained as a result of weighing articles, and a unit for setting unit price data of each article. a calculation unit that calculates the price of the article based on the weight data and unit price data, a display unit that digitally displays the calculated price, and inputs attribute data that distinguishes the price data by customer. A plurality of digital display scales having an input means for The present invention is characterized in that another total price is calculated and displayed on the display section.

"Example" Hereinafter, a detailed explanation will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings. In Fig. 1, numeral 1 is a panel display section consisting of each display section, and numerals 2, 3, and 4 indicate whether the currently displayed weight is the "net weight", "tare weight", or "tare weight" of the product, respectively.
It is a lamp to display whether there is an error or an error. Normally, only the "net amount" indicator lamp 2 is lit, and the "tare amount" indicator lamp 3 is used when only the tare of the product is being weighed. Or, it lights up when the weight is negative, and the "error" indicator lamp 4 is designed so that it lights up only when an erroneous operation occurs. Reference numeral 5 denotes a weight display section for displaying the weight of the product placed on the weighing plate 9, and is designed to be able to display 4 digits.

Further, numerals 6 and 7 are a unit price display section and a price display section, respectively, which are configured to enable digital display of four or five digits. Reference numeral 8 denotes a customer total display lamp consisting of four lamps A to D, and the four customers A, B, C, and D correspond to the four lamps A, B, C, and D, respectively. For example, when customer B weighs a product to be purchased, the operator operates the customer-specific "B" key (described later) on the digital display scale to display the cumulative price on the scale, and this time lamp B lights up. It is done as follows. Furthermore, numeral 10 is an operation section consisting of various keys, switches, etc.

Next, in Fig. 2, the key "S" is a preset key, and the preset data of 15 types of unit prices or prices is stored in the memory before weighing the product at the addresses specified by the keys "1 to XV". This is the key to store the information.

12 is a preset data call switch, turn on the switch and press the key "1~XV"
By pressing one of these buttons and specifying the address, you can call up the unit price or price preset data.
By operating the numerical keys "~9", unit prices or price data other than the preset data can be entered into the digital display scale.

Reference numeral 13 is a scale designation changeover switch, which designates another scale number (1 to 4) when the preset data of a specific digital display scale is called up and used in the calculation section of another digital display scale. It is something. When calling up the preset data stored in the scale in use, the scale designation changeover switch 13 is set to the scale number, for example, number 1 for scale 1. 14 is a group of keys having various functions. Keys “0 to 9” in key group 14
is a numeric key, which has the function of inputting into the digital display scale the designation of the address where the preset data is stored, the date, and the unit price or single item price other than the preset data, and the function of inputting the preset data. . Similarly, the key “X~
"XV" is a key for specifying the address of preset data, and the keys "0~9" and "X~XV"
15 types (1 to XV correspond to memory addresses)
However, in the digital display weighing device according to the present invention, it is possible to call up 4 preset data.
Since the digital display scales are used by changing the switch 13, up to 60 different types of preset data can be recalled and used by one display scale. Further, the key "wind" is a tare key. The key "pT" is a tare preset key, which is used to store a predetermined tare amount in the scale. The key "single" is a single item key, and is used when inputting the unit price of the product to be sold without measuring the weight into the scale using the numerical keys "0 to 9". "Delete" is a clear key for clearing information that was entered by mistake. The * key is also used to clear the contents of the customer-specific memory. Preset address designation key S is key “0” ~
Used together with "XV" when inputting the above preset data. “A to D” are keys for each customer,
It corresponds to the customer-specific memory in each electronic scale and also serves as a customer-specific total key. For example, when selling a product to a customer A, inputting the unit price, etc. using a specific scale, and finally operating the customer-specific key A, all components of the digital display weighing device of the embodiment shown in FIG. The input data is stored in a specific location of the customer-specific memory associated with customer A of the digital display scale. Furthermore, the key "-" is a correction key, and if the customer-specific key is erroneously operated, the correction key will be operated.
The designation can be canceled by subtracting the contents of the customer-specific memory. Note that the customer-specific key described above can also be used as a clerk-specific key.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the digital display scale device according to the present invention, in which four digital display scales having the above-mentioned functions are interconnected and preset data can be transferred between the digital display scales. This is what is illustrated. In the same figure, 20, 21,
22 and 23 are the same digital display scales (referred to as scales (1), scales (2), scales (3), and scales (4), respectively);
4 is a cable for connecting the scales.

Here, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained along with its operating method. First, set the predetermined unit price of 15 for each scale (1) to (4).
The following describes how to set each type. For example, if you want to store a unit price of 100 yen at address 1 of the memory that stores preset data for scale (1), turn off the preset recall switch 12, set the scale designation switch 13 to scale number 1, and then press the numeric key " Press ``1'', ``0'', ``0'' to enter the unit price of 100 yen,
Furthermore, press the number key "1" and the preset key S to specify address 1. The other memory addresses 2 to 15 and the other scales (2) to (4) can be preset in exactly the same manner.

After the unit price or price preset operation is completed as described above, the operation and operation method for selling the product to the customer will be described below. For example, customer B
We will explain the case where a person shops using three scales (1), (3), and (4).

In this case, customer B weighs product (a) on scale (1).
[Unit price 650 yen: Unit price preset data is stored in memory address 11 of scale (2)] 500g, scale (3) and product (b) [Item sold separately, price 500 yen: This price is Purchase one item (stored at address 5 on scale (1)) and 200g of product (c) (a product with a unit price of 458 yen that is not preset on any scale) using scale (4). shall be.

Place the product (a) on the weighing pan 9 of the first scale (1), turn on the preset call switch 12, and set the scale designation switch 13 to "2". When the key "XI" is operated, the price is calculated, and the unit price display section 6 displays "650", the weight display section 5 displays "500", and the price display section 7 displays "3250".

Next, when the customer key "B" is operated, the currently displayed price data "3250" is added to the area corresponding to the customer key "B" in the customer memory of the scale (1). It is transferred to the other scales (2), (3), and (4) together with the customer-specific key "B" data, and added to the area corresponding to the customer-specific key "B" in each customer-specific memory. The price data after addition is displayed on the price display section 7 of the scale (1). In this case, since the stored data before addition is "0", the price display section 7 has the following information:
"3250" will be displayed.

Next, turn the preset recall switch on the scale (3).
ON, set the scale selection switch 13 to "1", and operate the key "5" and the single item key "single", the price display section will display "500".
is displayed. Next, when the customer key "B" is operated, the price displayed on the price display section 7 is displayed in the area corresponding to the customer key "B" in the customer memory of each scale in the same manner as described above. The data "500" is added, and the added price data "3750" is displayed on the price display section 7 of the scale (3).

Finally, when purchasing the product (c) using the scale (4), place the product (c) on the weighing pan, turn off the preset call switch 12, and press the number keys "4", "5", "8". ”
If you do this, the unit price display section 6 will display "458," the weight display section 5 will display "200," and the unit price display section 7 will display "916." Next, if the customer key "B" is operated, the price data "916" displayed on the price display section 7 will be changed to the customer key "B" in the customer memory of each scale in the same manner as above. The price data "4666" that is added to the corresponding area and added is displayed on the price display section 7 of the scale (4).

In this way, the total price of products (a), (b), and (c) purchased by customer B using scales (1), (3), and (4) is "4666", and the final product He is known for the scale he purchased (4).
Therefore, even when a customer purchases products using a plurality of scales, there is no need to pay for each scale separately, but it is possible to pay all at once using the scale from which the last product was purchased.

In addition, after completing the payment, by operating the * key, the customer key "B" in the customer memory is
The contents of the area corresponding to is cleared, and the customer-specific key "B" can be assigned to other customers from now on.

In the above embodiment, the cumulative value for each customer is stored in the memory for each customer, but instead of the cumulative value, individual data of purchased products is stored for each customer,
It is also conceivable that the stored data be accumulated each time to calculate and display the accumulated value for each customer. With this configuration, it is possible to issue a receipt on which not only the cumulative price but also the details of the products purchased by the customer are printed at the time of payment.

Further, in the above embodiment, the same data is stored in each customer memory of each scale, but the present invention is not limited to this. for example,
The customer-specific memory of each scale stores product data for each customer purchased with that scale, and when a customer-specific key is operated on a certain scale, the customer-specific data corresponding to the operated key is stored in another scale. It may be configured such that the data is transferred from each scale and the cumulative value is calculated.

"Effects of the Invention" As explained above, according to the digital display weighing device of the present invention, even when the same customer purchases a product using multiple scales placed at various locations in the sales floor, There is no need to make a payment for each scale purchased, but it is possible to make a payment all at once using the scale where the last product was purchased.

As a result, receiving money, paying change,
It is possible to significantly reduce the work such as issuing receipts, and it is possible to provide an extremely efficient digital display weighing device for both the customer side and the store side.
