図３は本発明の実施例１のガスメータのブロック図である。図示されていないガス供給管を流れるガスは、流量検出手段２１で検出され、流量検出手段２１は所定単位のガス通過量（体積）を検出する毎にパルス信号に変換して流量演算手段２２へ出力する。流量演算手段２２は前記パルス信号に基づき前回の積算値と今回の積算値との差から増加流量（個別流量）を演算する。流量演算手段で演算して求めた流量は、器具別流量登録手段２３により器具別流量テーブルに登録される。器具別流量区分登録手段２４は、１０区分の器具別流量区分を予めマイコン内部に登録しておく。そして、前記器具別流量登録手段２３で登録された流量が、どの器具別流量区分に該当するかを、器具別流量区分判定手段２５で判定して、仮カウンタ２６の何れか１つに出力する。仮カウンタ２６は前記器具別流量登録手段２３で登録された流量の積算値を前記器具別流量区分判定手段２５で判定された該当区分として６個の前記仮カウンタ２６の何れか１つに積算する。 FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the gas meter according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Gas flowing through a gas supply pipe (not shown) is detected by the flow rate detection means 21, and the flow rate detection means 21 converts it into a pulse signal each time it detects a gas passage amount (volume) of a predetermined unit and sends it to the flow rate calculation means 22. Output. The flow rate calculation means 22 calculates an increased flow rate (individual flow rate) from the difference between the previous integrated value and the current integrated value based on the pulse signal. The flow rate calculated by the flow rate calculation means is registered in the flow rate table for each appliance by the flow rate registration unit 23 for each appliance. The appliance-specific flow rate category registration means 24 registers 10 appliance-specific flow rate categories in the microcomputer in advance. Then, the device-specific flow rate classifying means 25 determines which device-specific flow rate category the flow rate registered by the device-specific flow rate registering means 23 is, and outputs it to any one of the temporary counters 26. . The temporary counter 26 integrates the integrated value of the flow rate registered by the device-specific flow rate registration means 23 into any one of the six temporary counters 26 as the corresponding category determined by the device-specific flow rate classification determination means 25. .

積算基準値設定手段２７は、図示されてない設定器又はセンター装置から任意の積算基準値を設定し、設定した設定値（積算基準値）を電文にて器具別流量区分毎積算基準値登録手段２８に出力し、積算基準値設定手段２７からの電文出力に基づき、器具別流量区分毎に積算基準値を各器具別流量区分テーブルに登録する。そして前記仮カウンタ２６が該当する器具別流量区分と同じ流量区分の積算基準値と比較し基準値に到達したら、器具別流量区分毎積算基準値判定手段２９により、器具別区分積算カウンタ３０の該当するカウンタへ基準値を出力して、前記仮カウンタ２６が該当する器具別流量区分の器具別区分積算カウンタに基準値に加えて積算する。複数の器具別区分積算カウンタ３０を構成する１〜１０の１０個の器具別区分積算カウンタの各カウント値は、記憶手段３１に記憶され、記憶手段３１に記憶された各器具別区分積算カウンタのカウント値は、センタ装置又はハンディ読み取り器等の読み取り手段３２で読み取る。読み取り後、仮カウンタ２６と器具別流量区分積算カウンタ３０の各積算値をリセット手段３３でリセットする。 The integration reference value setting means 27 sets an arbitrary integration reference value from a setter or center device (not shown), and the set reference value (integration reference value) is electronically recorded for each appliance flow rate classification integration reference value registration means. Based on the message output from the integrated reference value setting means 27, the integrated reference value is registered in the flow rate table for each appliance. Then, when the temporary counter 26 reaches the reference value by comparing with the integrated reference value of the same flow rate as the corresponding flow rate by device, the corresponding reference of the device-specific flow integration counter 30 is obtained by the integrated reference value judgment unit 29 for each flow rate by device. A reference value is output to the counter, and the temporary counter 26 adds the reference value to the device-by-device division integration counter of the corresponding flow rate by device. The count values of the 10 appliance-specific division integration counters 1 to 10 constituting the plurality of appliance-specific division integration counters 30 are stored in the storage means 31, and the appliance-specific division integration counters stored in the storage means 31 are stored in the storage means 31. The count value is read by reading means 32 such as a center device or a handy reader. After the reading, the integrated values of the temporary counter 26 and the appliance-specific flow rate integrated counter 30 are reset by the reset means 33.

通常は、毎月、検針時に読み取り手段３２で読み取り後、リセット手段３３で前記各積算値をリセットするが、必ずしもリセットしなくてもよい。この場合、先月の積算値から今月の積算値を引き算して求めることができる。 Normally, each reading is reset by the reset means 33 after reading by the reading means 32 at the time of meter reading every month, but it is not always necessary to reset. In this case, it can be obtained by subtracting the integrated value of this month from the integrated value of the previous month.

図４は本発明の実施例２のガスメータのブロック図である。この実施例２は、実施例１と比較して、所定計測期間内にガスメータを通過するガスの合計流量が、設定した上・下限流量値の範囲内に属し、かつ時刻設定手段で設定した時間帯のガス使用量を積算する機能を追加した点が異なる。なお、図４の実施例２で、図３の実施例１と同じ作用をする要素は同じ符号をつけて、その説明は省略する。符号２１〜３１で示す各要素の作用は、実施例１も２も同じである。 FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a gas meter according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In this second embodiment, compared with the first embodiment, the total flow rate of the gas passing through the gas meter within a predetermined measurement period belongs to the set upper / lower flow rate value range, and the time set by the time setting means The difference is that a function for integrating the gas consumption of the belt has been added.

The operation of each element indicated by reference numerals 21 to 31 is the same in the first and second embodiments.

図４で、第２の流量演算手段３４は、流量検出手段２１のパルス信号から合計流量を演算して出力する。合計流量登録手段３５は、第２の流量演算手段３４で求めた合計流量を流量テーブルに登録する。流量範囲設定手段３６で設定された流量範囲の上・下限値は流量範囲登録手段３７で登録される。流量範囲判定手段３８は、前記合計流量登録手段３５で登録された合計流量が、前記流量範囲登録手段３７で登録された流量範囲内に該当するか判定して、範囲内ならば、開始・終了時刻到達時間判定手段に出力する。該開始・終了時刻到達時間判定手段は、積算開始・終了時刻到達時間設定手段３９で設定され、更に、開始・終了時刻到達時間登録手段４０で登録された積算開始・終了時刻の範囲内に、前記第２の流量演算手段３４による合計流量演算時の現在時刻が入れば夜間時間帯積算カウンタ４２に出力する。こうして、合計流量が前記流量範囲の上・下限値内で、かつ前記現在時刻が積算開始・終了時刻の範囲内の時に、ガス通過量（体積）を夜間時間帯積算カウンタ４２で積算するように、開始・終了時刻到達時間判定手段４１が作用する。夜間時間帯積算カウンタ４２のカウント値は記憶手段４３に記憶される。記憶手段３１と４３の内容は、センタ装置又はハンディ読み取り器等の読み取り手段３２により月末等の検針時に電文で読み取る。仮カウンタ２６、器具別区分積算カウンタ３０及び夜間時間帯積算カウンタ４２は、必要に応じてリセット手段３３によりリセットされる。 In FIG. 4, the second flow rate calculation means 34 calculates and outputs the total flow rate from the pulse signal of the flow rate detection means 21. The total flow rate registration unit 35 registers the total flow rate obtained by the second flow rate calculation unit 34 in the flow rate table. The upper and lower limits of the flow range set by the flow range setting means 36 are registered by the flow range registration means 37. The flow rate range determination unit 38 determines whether the total flow rate registered by the total flow rate registration unit 35 falls within the flow rate range registered by the flow rate range registration unit 37.

Thus, when the total flow rate is within the upper and lower limits of the flow rate range and the current time is within the range of the integration start / end time, the gas passage amount (volume) is integrated by the night time period integration counter 42. The start / end time arrival time determination means 41 operates. The count value of the night time zone integration counter 42 is stored in the storage means 43. The contents of the storage means 31 and 43 are read by a telegram at the time of meter reading at the end of the month or the like by the reading means 32 such as a center device or a handy reader. The temporary counter 26, the appliance-specific division integration counter 30, and the night time period integration counter 42 are reset by the reset means 33 as necessary.

If the specific period start / end time arrival time determination means 46 determines that it is within the range registered by the specific period start / end time arrival time registration means 45, the flow rate pulse of the flow rate detection means 21 is integrated by the holidays. The counter 47 accumulates, and the storage means 48 stores the count value.
