産業上の利用分野
本発明は、飲食店において、顧客によってキープされた
飲料物（以後、“ボトル°と呼ぶ）の残量を表示する表
示機能付飲料物容器用キャップに関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a cap for a beverage container with a display function that displays the remaining amount of beverages kept by customers (hereinafter referred to as "bottles") in restaurants. It is related to.
従来の技術
従来のこの種のボトルの残量を管理する際には、顧客の
名前が明記しであるプレートを見て該当するボトルを探
し、重量測定器または計量ゲージで残量を測定した後、
そのデータを顧客名簿に書き込む等の方法がとられてい
た。Conventional Technology Conventionally, when managing the remaining amount of this type of bottle, the customer's name is clearly written on the plate, the bottle is found, the remaining amount is measured with a weighing device or measuring gauge, and then the remaining amount is measured. ,
Methods such as writing this data into a customer list were used.
発明が解決しようとする問題点
従って、ボトルの残量管理には上記したように煩雑な処
理が定期的に必要なため、実際にはほとんど行われず、
その結果、他の顧客に流用されても確認できなかったり
、手作業によるミスが発生する等の問題があった。Problems to be Solved by the Invention Therefore, in order to manage the amount remaining in a bottle, complicated processing is required periodically as described above, and therefore it is rarely carried out in practice.
As a result, there were problems such as not being able to confirm even if the data had been used by another customer, or manual errors occurring.
問題点を解決するだめの手段
本発明は、上記問題点を解決するための、飲料物容器内

The light of 4 is projected with a focal length f = 100 [/z 5
The light is focused and projected onto the beverage 2. The light reflected from the liquid surface 6 is imaged onto one-dimensional PSDs whose light receiving surface has a length of 6fl via a light receiving lens 7 having a focal length f=1oOJ11. Since the output signal of the PSD changes depending on the distance between the liquid level 6 and the cap 3, it is converted into a remaining amount signal 10 via the remaining amount detection circuit 9. A registration number signal 12 outputted from a bottle registration number setting means 11 comprising four rotary dip switches and a sochi is inputted to a microcomputer 13 together with the remaining amount signal 10. The microcomputer 13 converts the signal into barcode data (NW-7 code) of 2 digits remaining, 4 digits registration number, and 6 digits in total (NW-7 code) and sends it to the liquid crystal display driver circuit 1.
4, and the bar code is displayed on a 6 dot x 60 dot liquid crystal display 16. Reference numeral 16 indicates a battery for driving the microcomputer 13, liquid crystal display 16, etc.
以上で示したキャップ３を、顧客がキープしたボトルに
取り付けて、バーコードリーダでこれらのデータをホス
ト・コンピュータに入力することにより、容易にかつ正
確にボトルの残量管理を行うことができる。By attaching the cap 3 shown above to the bottle kept by the customer and inputting this data into the host computer using a barcode reader, the remaining amount of the bottle can be easily and accurately managed.
本実施例においては、表示フォーマツトとして、バーコ
ードを利用したが、ＯＣＲ文字等で表示しても良い。In this embodiment, a barcode is used as the display format, but it may also be displayed using OCR characters or the like.
また、本実施例においては、表示器として液晶表示器を
用いたが、ＬＥＤ表示器でも良い。Further, in this embodiment, a liquid crystal display is used as the display, but an LED display may also be used.
また、本実施例においては残量検出手段として、ＰＳＤ
を利用したが、その他の光学的検出手段、超音波を利用
したもの、または物理的に接触させる手段でも良い。In addition, in this embodiment, the PSD is used as the remaining amount detection means.
However, other optical detection means, means using ultrasonic waves, or physical contact means may also be used.
また、本実施例においては、キャップの表示内容として
残量と登録番号を示したが、この内容を限定するもので
はな゛く、また、バーコード表示とＯＣＲ文字表示とを
混在させてもよい。Further, in this embodiment, the remaining amount and registration number are shown as the display contents of the cap, but this is not limited to this, and barcode display and OCR character display may be mixed. .
