Abstract
A fuel dispenser with a seismic vibration perception function includes a pump motor, a fuel feeding pump, a flow volume measuring member, a nozzle switch and a fueling control member. The fuel-feeding pump is driven by the pump motor. The flow volume measuring member measures the amount of fed fuel and outputs a flow volume pulse signal. The nozzle switch transmits a nozzle-unhooked signal and a nozzle-hooked signal. The fueling control member causes the pump motor to be 'on' and 'off' by receiving the nozzle-unhooked and the nozzle-hooked signal respectively and counting the flow volume of fuel by receiving the flow volume pulse signal. The fueling control member contains a seismic vibration perception member for perceiving vibration and transmitting a seismic vibration perception signal for suspending electric supply to the pump motor.
