Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of refueling equipment, and particularly relates to a self-service fuel dispenser. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the economy and the continuous progress of society, the living standards of humans have also been greatly improved. Under the influence of the new situation, business forms such as self-service car washes, unmanned restaurants, and vending machines have gradually penetrated into all aspects of our lives. Self-service fuel dispensers are widely recognized for their high refueling efficiency, low labor costs, and convenience.

[0003] Since the refined oil filled by the fuel dispenser is flammable and explosive, the safety of its equipment itself and during use is particularly important. Ordinary drivers do not have professional safety protection and handling experience, which puts higher requirements on self-service fuel dispensers.

[0004] Currently, self-service fuel dispensers have emerged on the market. However, the safety modules of existing self-service fuel dispensers are not perfect. For example, for safety modules such as oil and gas concentration detection and static electricity release, there are only alarm or prompt devices, and ordinary drivers have no handling experience, resulting in a relatively large safety risk during the refueling process. In addition, the operation guides of existing self-service fuel dispensers are insufficient, and it is inconvenient to contact the staff, which brings certain difficulties to the refuelers in operating the fuel dispenser, resulting in some refuelers being unable to complete self-service refueling smoothly.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background art section is only used to deepen the understanding of the background art of the present disclosure, and should not be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that this information constitutes the prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of at least one of the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides a self-service fuel dispenser. By setting a static electricity release and detection block, refueling cannot be performed if the static electricity release operation is incomplete, which can effectively improve the static electricity release rate of refueling personnel and improve refueling safety. By setting a video and voice intercom module, refuelers can communicate with the background staff in a timely manner through the video and voice intercom module to solve the problems encountered during refueling operations. By playing the animation of the refueling process guide stored in the display screen, it greatly facilitates refueling personnel to achieve self-service refueling, and solves the problems of large safety risks and insufficient refueling operation guides in existing self-service fuel dispensers.

[0007] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a self-service fuel dispenser is provided. A fuel dispenser control module is provided on the upper part of the frame body. A display screen corresponding to the fuel dispenser control module in communication connection and used for human-computer interaction and displaying an animation guiding the refueling process is provided. An oil and gas concentration detection module is provided on the lower part of the frame body. Fueling modules are provided on both sides of the frame body. The self-service fuel dispenser further includes an electrostatic discharge and detection block electrically connected to the display screen correspondingly, a human body sensor for correspondingly controlling the lighting and extinguishing of the display screen, a payment module, a printing window, and a video and voice intercom module for communicating with the background. The oil and gas concentration detection module and the video and voice intercom module are correspondingly in communication connection with the display screen through a switch. The switch is correspondingly in communication connection with a background service terminal for communicating with the video and voice intercom module, the oil and gas concentration detection module, and the display screen.

[0008] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the display screen is a normally-off screen type and is used for correspondingly responding to the induction signal of the human body sensor by lighting up the screen.

[0009] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the display screen is correspondingly in communication connection with the fuel dispenser control module and the printing window through a serial port. The display screen is correspondingly in communication connection with the payment module through a USB interface. The display screen is correspondingly in communication connection with the electrostatic discharge and detection block and the human body sensor through a GPIO interface.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the payment module includes a code scanning window, a face payment window, and an IC card reader.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the electrostatic discharge and detection block is used for correspondingly outputting a response signal after waiting for a certain electrostatic discharge time, and the minimum set value of the electrostatic discharge time is not less than 3 seconds.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the fueling module is correspondingly in communication connection with the fuel dispenser control module. The fueling module includes a fuel gun for responding to the fuel quantity signal output by the fuel dispenser control module and a fuel gun seat for responding to the start-stop signal of the fueling action output by the fuel dispenser control module.

[0013] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application have at least any one of the following technical effects or advantages:

[0014] 1. The oil and gas concentration detection module monitors the oil and gas concentration in real time and transmits it to the background service terminal for the background staff to monitor. The background service terminal can remind the refueling personnel through the display screen and turn off the mobile payment function according to the degree of oil and gas concentration exceeding the standard to avoid danger. When the oil and gas concentration exceeds the standard seriously, the whole station broadcast can be started to remind the refueling personnel to evacuate in an orderly manner.

[0015] 2. The static electricity release and detection block is correspondingly connected to the display screen. If the fueling staff touches the static electricity release and detection block and the static electricity release time is less than 3 seconds, fueling cannot be achieved to ensure complete static electricity release and thus ensure fueling safety. And in the case of incomplete static electricity release for multiple times, the system will automatically operate a refund, and the refund will be credited in real time to improve the user experience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0021] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings of the specification and specific embodiments.

[0022] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "vertical", "horizontal", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present application. And the "connection" and "coupling" involved in the present application, unless otherwise specified, all include direct and indirect connection (coupling).

[0023] For the parts, structures, and mechanisms involved in the following embodiments, unless otherwise specified, they are all conventional commercially available products.

[0024] Embodiments of the present application provide a self-service fuel dispenser, which solves the problems of high safety risks and insufficient refueling operation guidance in the prior art for self-service fuel dispensers. By performing necessary static electricity release, the safety risk of refueling operations is reduced. Through detailed refueling process guidance animations and a video and voice intercom module that can communicate with back-office staff in a timely manner, the convenience of refueling operations is greatly improved and the difficulty of refueling operations is reduced.

[0025] This example discloses a self-service fuel dispenser. Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , including a frame body 1, a fuel dispenser control module provided on the upper part of the frame body 1 and a display screen 2 for human-computer interaction, a fuel and gas concentration detection module 3 provided on the lower part of the frame body 1, a static electricity release and detection block 4 provided at a corresponding position below the display screen 2, a human body sensor 5 for correspondingly controlling the lighting and extinguishing of the display screen, a payment module, a printing window 6, and a video and voice intercom module 7 for communicating with the back office.

[0026] Refer to Figure 1 , fueling modules 11 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the frame body 1. The fueling modules 11 are correspondingly communicatively connected to the fuel dispenser control module. The fueling module 11 includes a fuel gun for responding to the fuel quantity signal output by the fuel dispenser control module and a fuel gun seat for responding to the start / stop signal of the fueling action output by the fuel dispenser control module; two sets of fueling devices are respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the frame body 1, and fueling operations can be carried out simultaneously at the front and rear ends to improve the fueling efficiency of the gas station.

[0027] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , the display screen 2 is a 32-inch intelligent screen with a constant off-screen type and can perform touch screen operations; the fuel dispenser control module is communicatively connected to the display screen 2 through a serial port to control the operation of the entire refueling system. The display screen 2 stores refueling process guidance animations and can play corresponding refueling process guidance animations according to the refueling process to present the detailed refueling operation process to the refueling personnel, facilitating the refueling personnel to complete the refueling operation and improving the refueling efficiency and convenience.

[0028] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2, both the static electricity release and detection block 4 and the human body sensor 5 are respectively communicatively connected to the display screen 2 through the GPIO interface. The static electricity release and detection block 4 is installed at a position 950 mm above the ground on the fuel dispenser panel, facilitating fueling personnel to touch the static electricity release and detection block 4 to complete the static electricity release operation. The static electricity release and detection block 4 can detect whether the fueling personnel touch it. When the fueling personnel do not release static electricity or the static electricity release time does not exceed 3 seconds, the fueling operation cannot be carried out, so as to ensure that the fueling personnel completely release static electricity before fueling. Forcing the fueling personnel to release static electricity can greatly improve the safety of the fueling operation. If the fueling personnel touch the static electricity release and detection block 4 to release static electricity for more than 3 seconds, the static electricity release and detection block correspondingly outputs a response signal for the next fueling operation. When the fuel dispenser has no operation, the display screen 2 is in the screen-off state to reduce energy consumption. When the human body sensor 5 detects a human body, the display screen 2 can be automatically awakened, facilitating the operation of the fueling personnel.

[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the payment module is correspondingly connected to the display screen 2 through the USB interface. The payment module includes a code scanning window 8, a face payment window 9, and an IC card reader 10, and supports multiple payment methods, including two-dimensional code payment, face payment, authorization code payment, IC card payment, etc., which is convenient and fast. The display screen 2 is also correspondingly connected to the printing window 6 through the serial port. After the fueling is completed, an electronic invoice or a fueling receipt can be issued through the printing window 6.

[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the oil and gas concentration detection module 3 is installed at a position 300 mm above the ground at the lower part of the frame 1, facilitating the collection and detection of volatile gases to ensure accurate detection of the oil and gas concentration. The oil and gas concentration detection module 3 and the video and voice intercom module 7 are respectively correspondingly connected through a switch inside the network fuel dispenser. The switch is communicatively connected to the display screen 2 and the background service terminal through the network. The oil and gas concentration detected by the oil and gas concentration detection module 3 can be real-time forwarded to the background service terminal, facilitating the background staff to monitor the oil and gas concentration. The background service terminal can remind the fueling personnel through the display screen 2 and turn off the mobile payment function of the fuel dispenser according to the degree of oil and gas concentration exceeding the standard to avoid danger. When the oil and gas concentration exceeds the standard seriously, the whole station broadcast can be started to remind the fueling personnel to evacuate in an orderly manner.

[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 2The video and voice intercom module 7 includes a camera, a microphone and a broadcaster. The refueling personnel can directly communicate with the backstage staff through the video and voice intercom module 7. When the refueling personnel encounter problems during the refueling process, they can seek help from the backstage staff in time, which greatly improves the convenience of the refueling personnel. At the same time, there is no need for staff to arrive at the scene to guide the operation, which greatly saves labor costs; the video and voice intercom module 7 is bound to the refueling machine transaction. The refueling process can be recorded and recorded through the camera and microphone, which is convenient for later tracking and inquiry.

[0032] Specific implementation method: When the self-service gas station is not in working state, the display screen is in the off state. When a human body approaches, the human body sensor will convert the low level of GPIO into a high level. After the display screen detects the level change, it will immediately light up the screen and play the welcome video and precautions before refueling in sequence. The video and voice intercom module will be notified through the background service system via the HTTP protocol to start recording.

[0033] The backend service terminal receives the oil and gas concentration data transmitted from the oil and gas concentration detection module through the socket long connection every second, and judges the oil and gas concentration level (normal, low concentration, high concentration) according to the oil and gas concentration value, installation location and other factors; if the backend service terminal judges that the oil and gas concentration is high, the backend service terminal will alarm, and after the display screen obtains the oil and gas concentration that is too high from the backend service terminal, it will display the animation of prohibiting refueling due to high oil and gas concentration, and at the same time, voice prompts to guide the refueling personnel to leave in an orderly manner; if the display screen obtains that the various components of the refueling machine and the oil and gas concentration are normal, the refueling personnel will be prompted to operate the screen to select the oil product and pay, and according to the refueling personnel's choice, the code scanning window or face payment window or IC card reader will be opened and the corresponding payment operation video will be played.

[0034] After the payment is completed, the display screen prompts to touch the electrostatic release and detection block and detect the change of the level through GPIO. If the refueling personnel does not touch it or the touch time is less than 3 seconds, the display screen will prompt the specific location of the electrostatic release and detection block and inform that the electrostatic release is incomplete, please touch it again; if the refueling personnel has not performed effective electrostatic release within 30 seconds, the display screen will prompt that the refueling is over due to incomplete electrostatic release, and the payment amount will be refunded in the original way. The display screen will initiate a refund application to the background server and refund on the spot; if the display screen detects that the GPIO level changes from low to high and lasts for 3 seconds, it will start playing the refueling operation guidance animation and precautions during refueling.

[0035] After refueling is completed, the display screen sends instructions through the serial port to control the printer window to print the refueling receipt and invoice, and reminds the driver to return the fuel gun to its position, and plays matters related to order change, departure precautions, and farewell words; after the refueling personnel leaves, the display screen notifies the video voice intercom module to stop working and enter the screen-off state.
