DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides a fuel dispenser, including: a box body 1 and a warning mechanism 6 and a confirmation button 5 arranged on the box body 1. At the same time, fuel guns 2 are arranged on both sides of the box body 1.

[0030] A confirmation button 5 is located on the front of the tank 1. Each warning mechanism 6 corresponds to a confirmation button 5. This multi-layered error-prevention mechanism effectively reduces the probability of users adding the wrong fuel. After the user selects the fuel type and the required amount, the confirmation button 5 illuminates. The user re-verifies and confirms the selected fuel type, then presses the confirmation button 5 and refuels through the fuel nozzle 2, effectively reducing the probability of inadvertent fueling errors. Each fuel nozzle 2 corresponds to a warning mechanism 6.

[0031] In addition, several oil gun covers are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the box body, and the oil gun covers are used to place the fuel gun 2. After each refueling of the fuel gun 2, some oil will remain at the muzzle of the fuel gun 2. The fuel gun cover can place the fuel gun 2 while preventing the oil at the muzzle of the fuel gun 2 from polluting other areas. Moreover, when the fuel gun 2 is placed in the oil gun cover, the muzzle faces upward to prevent oil from dripping at the muzzle of the fuel gun 2.

[0032] Several warning mechanisms 6 are arranged in an array on the front side of the housing 1, specifically two warning mechanisms 6. Each warning mechanism 6 includes a support base 7 and a telescopic cylinder 8 disposed on top of the support base 7. The telescopic cylinder 8 is either a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, preferably a hydraulic cylinder. The telescopic cylinder 8 is connected to the mounting base 10 via a piston rod, and the upper end of the rocking member 9 is connected to a warning member 16. After selecting the desired oil, the telescopic cylinder 8 in the corresponding warning mechanism 6 extends the piston rod to raise the warning member 16, bringing it into the user's line of sight and prompting the user to press the corresponding confirmation button 5 to confirm the oil quality.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the rocking member 9 includes: a drive motor 11. Preferably, the drive motor 11 adopts a three-phase asynchronous motor, and the drive motor 11 can complete forward rotation and reverse rotation. The drive motor 11 is arranged on the left side of the mounting base 10. The output end of the drive motor 11 is connected to the transmission assembly. The upper end of the transmission assembly is provided with a warning member 16. When the telescopic cylinder 8 raises the warning member 16 by extending the piston rod, the drive motor 11 drives the warning member 16 through the transmission assembly to complete forward and reverse movement to attract the user's attention.

[0034] During use, after the user selects the required oil, the corresponding confirmation button 5 lights up. At the same time, the telescopic cylinder 8 raises the warning member 16 by extending the piston rod, so that the warning member 16 is displayed in the user's line of sight. The drive motor 11 drives the warning member 16 through the transmission assembly to complete forward and reverse movement, further attracting the user's attention, and assisting in reminding the user to press the corresponding confirmation button 5 for a second confirmation of the selected oil.

[0035] The transmission assembly includes: a mounting tube 13, which is rotatably connected to the upper end of the mounting seat 10, and the mounting tube 13 is arranged on the right side of the mounting seat 10, wherein a collar is arranged on the left side of the mounting tube 13, and the collar is rotatably connected to the upper end of the mounting seat 10 to ensure that the mounting tube 13 can rotate freely with the axis of the mounting seat 10 as the axis center. Furthermore, a warning member 16 is arranged on the upper end surface of the mounting tube 13, and is driven when the mounting tube 13 rotates.

[0036] The bottom end of the mounting tube 13 is slidably connected to the mounting rod 14, and the mounting tube 13 is sleeved on the upper end of the mounting rod 14. The mounting rod 14 can reciprocate up and down relative to the mounting tube 13, and the mounting rod 14 can freely rotate relative to the mounting tube 13. The lower end of the mounting rod 14 is provided with a mounting block 15, and the mounting block 15 is rotatably connected to the cam 12, wherein the cam 12 is sleeved and connected to the output end of the drive motor 11, and the upper end of the cam 12 is rotatably connected to the mounting block 15 via a pin. Specifically, a first assembly hole is provided on the side of the mounting block 15, and a second assembly hole is provided on the side of the upper end of the cam 12. The first assembly hole and the second assembly hole are connected together by a rotating shaft. The output end of the drive motor 11 is connected to the cam 12, and the drive motor 11 drives the cam 12 to rotate. The cam 12 drives the rotating shaft to swing back and forth a certain angle. The reciprocating swing of the rotating shaft drives the mounting rod 14 to swing back and forth, and the mounting rod 14 drives the mounting tube 13 to swing. At this time, the mounting rod 14 reciprocates up and down relative to the mounting tube 13.

[0037] It should be noted that after the rotating shaft is installed in the first assembly hole and the second assembly hole, the cam 12 and the mounting block 15 have a certain amount of space for movement on the rotating shaft. When the cam 12 drives the rotating shaft to swing, since the distance between the axis of the mounting tube 13 and the axis of the mounting seat 10 remains unchanged, the distance between the rotating shaft and the axis of the mounting seat 10 keeps changing. The mounting block 15 will move a certain distance relative to the cam 12 to ensure that the mounting tube 13 can rotate freely relative to the mounting seat 10.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, an operating chamber 3 is provided on the front side of the housing 1. The interior of the operating chamber 3 is mainly used to install a warning mechanism 6. Preferably, an operating chamber 3 is provided on the front side of the housing 1. Two warning mechanisms 6 are provided in each operating chamber 3. The two warning mechanisms 6 are provided on the lower surface of the operating chamber 3. Preferably, the two warning mechanisms 6 are provided side by side on the lower surface of the operating chamber 3, and a confirmation key 5 corresponds to the bottom of each warning mechanism 6 to ensure that the user can more quickly distinguish the confirmation key 5 that needs to be pressed. Of course, the warning mechanisms 6 can also be provided in the operating chamber 3 one after the other. There is no specific limitation on the position distribution of the warning mechanisms 6 in the operating chamber 3. The main purpose is to prompt the user to press the corresponding confirmation key 5 to perform a secondary confirmation on the oil product to be added.

[0039] Among them, the front side of the box body 1 is embedded with an operation screen 4, and the operation screen 4 is set above the operation chamber 3. The user can input the oil product and oil quantity to be added through the operation screen 4 to complete the preliminary selection of the oil product. It should be noted that the operation screen 4 signal is connected to the control system, and the control system signal is connected to the fuel gun 2, the drive motor 11, the telescopic cylinder 8 and the confirmation key 5. After the user inputs the oil product and oil quantity to be added through the operation screen 4, the control system sends a start signal to the fuel gun 2 drive motor 11, the telescopic cylinder 8 and the confirmation key 5. The telescopic cylinder 8 drives the mounting seat 10 to rise, and the drive motor 11 drives the warning member 16 to swing. At the same time, the corresponding confirmation key 5 lights up. After the user presses the confirmation key 5 to complete the second confirmation, the confirmation key 5 sends a signal to the control system. After receiving the confirmation signal sent by the confirmation key 5, the control system sends a signal to the fuel gun 2 to release the oil, and the corresponding oil product is provided to the user through the fuel gun 2.

[0040] It should be noted that a voice broadcast device is provided inside the box 1, and the signal of the voice broadcast device is connected to the control system. When the user presses the confirmation key 5 incorrectly, the control system will send a signal to the voice broadcast device, and the voice broadcast device will send a voice prompt to the customer to verify whether the oil product input in the operation screen 4 is incorrect or the confirmation key 5 is pressed incorrectly, further ensuring that the user selects the correct oil product and reducing the error rate.

[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the warning element 16 includes an oil number plate 17, which indicates the type of oil. When the confirmation button 5 lights up, the corresponding telescopic cylinder 8 and drive motor 11 drive the oil number plate 17 to swing, reminding the user to press the confirmation button 5 to confirm the oil type. In addition, a fixed plate 19 is provided on the back side of the oil number plate 17, and a bell 18 is provided on the fixed plate 19. As the oil number plate 17 swings, the bell 18 swings left and right with the oil number plate 17, emitting a loud and clear sound. Different from the intelligent voice, the sound of the bell 18 can further attract the user's attention, reminding the user to press the confirmation button 5 and prevent the user from adding the wrong oil.

[0042] It should be noted that an indicator light is set inside the confirmation key 5 to prompt the user to press the correct confirmation key 5, and the confirmation key 5 is made of a transparent material. Preferably, the confirmation key is made of acrylic material to ensure that the confirmation key 5 to be pressed is obvious enough after the indicator light is on, further preventing the user from randomly pressing a confirmation key 5 and causing an error in oil selection.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, the support base 7 is generally U-shaped, with the opening of the support base 7 facing the lower surface of the operating chamber 3. This provides a certain degree of protection for the telescopic cylinder 8 and, at the same time, provides better support for the telescopic cylinder 8, ensuring stability during operation of the telescopic cylinder 8. Furthermore, the support base 7 is disposed perpendicularly to the lower surface of the operating chamber 3 to ensure that the telescopic cylinder 8 can drive the mounting base 10 to move vertically up and down, thereby ensuring vertical up and down movement of the oil number plate 17, and providing a more aesthetically pleasing movement trajectory of the oil number plate 17 when it swings.

[0044] When the present utility model is used, the user inputs the required oil product and oil quantity through the operation screen 4 to complete the preliminary selection of the oil product. After the user inputs the required oil product and oil quantity through the operation screen 4, the control system sends a start signal to the fuel gun 2 drive motor 11, telescopic cylinder 8 and confirmation button 5. The telescopic cylinder 8 drives the mounting seat 10 to rise through the piston rod. At the same time, the drive motor 11 drives the cam 12 to rotate, and the cam 12 drives the rotating shaft to swing back and forth at a certain angle. The reciprocating swing of the rotating shaft drives the mounting block 15 to swing back and forth at the same time. The mounting block 15 drives the mounting tube 13 to swing through the mounting rod 14, and the mounting tube 13 drives the oil number plate 17 to swing. At the same time, the corresponding confirmation button 5 lights up. After the user presses the confirmation button 5 to complete the second confirmation, the confirmation button 5 sends a signal to the control system. After receiving the confirmation signal sent by the confirmation button 5, the control system sends a signal to the fuel gun 2 to release the oil, and provides the corresponding oil product to the user through the fuel gun 2.

[0045] In summary, the confirmation button 5 reminds the user to reconfirm, reducing the probability of accidentally adding the wrong oil. At the same time, the corresponding telescopic cylinder 8 raises the oil number plate 17, and the drive motor 11 drives the oil number plate 17 to swing left and right, attracting the user's attention and reminding the user to reconfirm, further preventing the user from accidentally pressing the button and making the wrong oil selection.

[0046] It should be noted that, in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are merely used to distinguish one entity from other entities, but do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities.

[0047] This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only intended to help understand the method and core concept of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
