Description

本発明は、冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースの庫内温度が上昇した場合に温度警報を発報するようにした冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースの温度警報発報方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for issuing a temperature alarm in a freezing / refrigerated showcase that issues a temperature alarm when the internal temperature of the freezing / refrigerated showcase increases.

従来、スーパーマーケットやコンビニエンスストア等の店舗では、商品を陳列する機器として冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースが使用されている。これらの冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースでは、何らかの不具合により商品陳列室内の温度(庫内温度)が許容温度以上に上昇すると、陳列されている商品が傷んでしまう。そこで、庫内温度が許容温度より高い或る一定温度(警報温度)以上に上昇した場合には温度警報を発報し、ユーザーに庫内温度の上昇を伝えるようにしている。但し、庫内温度が警報温度に上昇した場合に直ちに温度警報を発報すると、冷却器の除霜時や商品陳列室内への商品陳列作業時における庫内温度の上昇によっても温度警報が発報されることになる。このような除霜時や商品陳列作業時における庫内温度の上昇は、冷凍・冷蔵ショウケースの不具合に伴う温度上昇ではないため、温度警報を発報しないようにすることが望ましい。そこで、温度警報の発報を、庫内温度が警報温度以上に上昇し、かつ、その状態が一定の経過時間(遅延時間)を経過した場合に行うことが一般的である。そして、除霜時や商品陳列時の温度上昇等のショーケースの不具合でない温度上昇時に温度警報を発報させないようにするためには、警報温度を高めに設定し、遅延時間長めに設定する必要がある。   Conventionally, in stores such as supermarkets and convenience stores, refrigerated / refrigerated showcases are used as devices for displaying products. In these refrigerated / refrigerated showcases, if the temperature in the product display chamber (internal temperature) rises above an allowable temperature due to some problem, the displayed product is damaged. Therefore, when the internal temperature rises above a certain temperature (alarm temperature) higher than the allowable temperature, a temperature alarm is issued to notify the user of the increase in the internal temperature. However, if the temperature alarm is issued immediately when the inside temperature rises to the alarm temperature, the temperature alarm is also triggered by the rise in the inside temperature during defrosting of the cooler or product display work in the product display room. Will be. Such an increase in the internal temperature during defrosting or product display work is not a temperature increase due to a malfunction of the freezing / refrigerating showcase, so it is desirable not to issue a temperature alarm. Therefore, it is common to issue a temperature alarm when the internal temperature rises above the alarm temperature and the state has passed a certain elapsed time (delay time). In order to prevent the temperature alarm from being triggered when the temperature rise is not a malfunction of the showcase, such as a temperature rise during defrosting or product display, it is necessary to set the alarm temperature higher and set a longer delay time. There is.

また、冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースの管理を集中管理盤を用いて行い、庫内温度の上昇等の不具合が発生した場合に警備会社、メンテナンス会社、自社メンテナンス部門等に温度警報を含む各種の警報を発報するようにした場合において、警備会社、メンテナンス会社、自社メンテナンス部門等ごとに温度警報を発報する条件である警報温度や遅延時間を夫々異なる値に設定したものが知られている(下記特許文献1参照)。   In addition, the freezing and refrigeration showcases are managed using a centralized control panel, and various alarms including temperature alarms are given to security companies, maintenance companies, in-house maintenance departments, etc. in the event of problems such as an increase in internal temperature. In the case of alerting, it is known that the alarm temperature and delay time, which are conditions for issuing a temperature alarm, are set to different values for each security company, maintenance company, in-house maintenance department, etc. (see below) Patent Document 1).

特開2005−242705号公報JP 2005-242705 A

しかしながら、従来行われている温度警報の発報方法、即ち、庫内温度が警報温度以上に上昇し、かつ、庫内温度が警報温度に上昇してから一定の遅延時間を経過した後に温度警報を発砲する方法では、温度警報を発報するタイミングが遅れ、冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースの商品陳列室内に陳列されている商品が温度上昇により傷んでしまう場合がある。   However, a conventional method for issuing a temperature alarm, that is, a temperature alarm after a certain delay time has elapsed since the inside temperature has risen above the alarm temperature and the inside temperature has risen to the alarm temperature. In the method of firing, the timing for issuing the temperature alarm is delayed, and the product displayed in the product display room of the refrigerated / refrigerated showcase may be damaged by the temperature rise.

さらに、従来行われている温度警報の発報方法では、商品陳列室内の温度が許容温度以上に上昇しても警報温度以下であると、その状態が長時間続いても温度警報が発報されないことになり、商品陳列室内に陳列されている商品が傷んでしまう。   Furthermore, in the conventional method for issuing a temperature alarm, even if the temperature in the product display room rises above the allowable temperature, if the temperature is below the alarm temperature, the temperature alarm is not issued even if the state continues for a long time. As a result, the merchandise displayed in the merchandise display room is damaged.

本発明は、このような課題を解決するためになされたものであり、その目的は、冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースの庫内温度の上昇の程度に応じて温度警報を発報するタイミングを調整し、温度警報の発報が遅れることや温度警報が発報されないことが原因となる商品の傷みを抑制することができる冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースの温度警報発報方法を提供することである。   The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and its purpose is to adjust the timing of issuing a temperature alarm according to the degree of increase in the temperature of the freezer / refrigerated showcase, To provide a temperature alarm issuing method for a refrigerated / refrigerated showcase capable of suppressing damage to goods caused by the delay of the temperature alarm or the temperature alarm not being issued.

本発明に係る冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースの温度警報発報方法は、冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースの庫内温度を測定する工程と、前記庫内温度が予め設定した警報温度以上に上昇したことを判定する工程と、前記庫内温度が前記警報温度以上に上昇してからの経過時間毎にその経過時間に対して前記警報温度と前記庫内温度との温度差に応じて予め設定した掛け率を掛けた修正経過時間を求める工程と、前記修正経過時間を積算して積算修正経過時間を求める工程と、前記積算修正経過時間が予め設定した警報発報積算時間に到達したことを判定する工程と、前記積算修正経過時間が前記警報発報積算時間に到達した場合に温度警報を発報する工程と、を有する。   The method for issuing a temperature alarm for a refrigerated / refrigerated showcase according to the present invention includes a step of measuring a temperature inside the refrigerator / freezer showcase, and determines that the temperature inside the refrigerator has risen above a preset alarm temperature. For each elapsed time after the process and the internal temperature rises above the alarm temperature, the elapsed time is multiplied by a multiplication rate set in advance according to the temperature difference between the alarm temperature and the internal temperature. Obtaining the corrected elapsed time, integrating the corrected elapsed time to obtain an accumulated corrected elapsed time, determining that the accumulated corrected elapsed time has reached a preset alarm issue accumulated time, And a step of issuing a temperature alarm when the accumulated correction elapsed time reaches the alarm issue integration time.

また、前述の冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースの温度警報発報方法において、前記警報温度として、基準警報温度とこの基準警報温度より低い下限警報温度とを設定し、前記庫内温度が前記下限警報温度以上に上昇した場合と前記基準警報温度以上に上昇した場合とで前記掛け率の値を変え、前記庫内温度が前記下限警報温度以上に上昇した場合の前記掛け率の値より前記庫内温度が前記基準警報温度以上に上昇した場合の前記掛け率の値を大きくしていることが望ましい。   Further, in the above-mentioned temperature alarm issuing method for the refrigeration / refrigeration showcase, a reference alarm temperature and a lower limit alarm temperature lower than the reference alarm temperature are set as the alarm temperature, and the internal temperature is equal to or higher than the lower limit alarm temperature. The value of the multiplication rate is changed between when the temperature rises above the reference alarm temperature and when the inside temperature rises from the value of the multiplication rate when the inside temperature rises above the lower limit alarm temperature. It is desirable to increase the value of the multiplication rate when the temperature rises above the reference alarm temperature.

また、前述の冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースの温度警報発報方法において、前記警報温度として、基準警報温度とこの基準警報温度より低い下限警報温度とこの基準警報温度より高い上限警報温度とを設定し、前記庫内温度が前記基準警報温度である場合には、前記掛け率の値を“1”とし、前記庫内温度が前記下限警報温度以上であって前記基準警報温度未満の場合には、前記掛け率の値を“1”より小さい値で比例変化させ、前記庫内温度が前記基準警報温度より大きく前記上限警報温度以下である場合には、前記掛け率の値を“1”より大きい値で比例変化させることが望ましい。   Further, in the above-described temperature alarm issuing method of the refrigeration / refrigeration showcase, as the alarm temperature, a reference alarm temperature, a lower limit alarm temperature lower than the reference alarm temperature, and an upper limit alarm temperature higher than the reference alarm temperature are set, When the internal temperature is the reference alarm temperature, the value of the multiplication rate is “1”, and when the internal temperature is equal to or higher than the lower limit alarm temperature and lower than the reference alarm temperature, the When the value of the multiplication rate is proportionally changed by a value smaller than “1” and the internal temperature is larger than the reference alarm temperature and lower than the upper limit alarm temperature, the value of the multiplication rate is a value larger than “1”. It is desirable to change proportionally.

本発明に係る冷凍・冷蔵ショーケースの温度警報発報方法によれば、庫内温度が警報温度以上に上昇した場合に、警報温度に上昇してからの経過時間毎にその経過時間に予め設定されている掛け率を掛けた修正経過時間を求め、修正経過時間を積算した積算修正経過時間が予め設定されている警報発報積算時間に到達した場合に温度警報が発報される。そして、掛け率は警報温度と庫内温度との温度差に応じた値に設定されている。このため、警報温度を低い温度に設定し、さらに、庫内温度が警報温度に近い場合には掛け率の値を小さくするとともに庫内温度が警報温度から離れて上昇するにつれて掛け率の値を大きくすることにより、庫内温度が上昇するにつれて修正経過時間が大きくなるとともに積算修正経過時間が急激に大きくなって警報発報積算時間に迅速に到達し、温度警報が迅速に発報されるので、庫内温度の上昇に伴う商品の傷みを抑制することができる。さらに、警報温度を低い温度に設定することにより、庫内温度が低い温度であってもその庫内温度が警報温度を超えている場合には積算修正経過時間が次第に増大するとともにやがて警報発報積算時間に到達して温度警報が発報されるので、庫内温度が従来では温度警報の発報対象とならない低い温度の場合でも温度警報を発報させることができ、庫内温度が低い温度に上昇してその状態が継続された場合であっても商品が傷むということを抑制することができる。   According to the temperature alarm issuing method of the refrigeration / refrigeration showcase according to the present invention, when the internal temperature rises above the alarm temperature, the elapsed time after the rise to the alarm temperature is preset to the elapsed time. The correction elapsed time multiplied by the applied multiplication rate is obtained, and the temperature alarm is issued when the accumulated correction elapsed time obtained by integrating the correction elapsed time reaches a preset alarm issue integration time. The multiplication rate is set to a value corresponding to the temperature difference between the alarm temperature and the internal temperature. For this reason, the alarm temperature is set to a low temperature, and when the internal temperature is close to the alarm temperature, the value of the multiplication rate is reduced and the multiplication rate value is increased as the internal temperature rises away from the alarm temperature. By increasing the temperature, the elapsed time for correction increases as the internal temperature rises, and the elapsed time for the total correction suddenly increases to reach the alarm alarm integration time quickly, and the temperature alarm is issued quickly. In addition, it is possible to suppress damage to the product accompanying an increase in the internal temperature. Furthermore, by setting the alarm temperature to a low temperature, even if the internal temperature is low, if the internal temperature exceeds the alarm temperature, the accumulated correction elapsed time will gradually increase and the alarm will be issued soon. Since the accumulated time is reached and a temperature alarm is issued, the temperature alarm can be issued even when the internal temperature is low, which is not the target of the temperature alarm in the past, and the internal temperature is low. It is possible to prevent the product from being damaged even when the state continues and the state continues.

また、警報温度として、基準警報温度とこの基準警報温度より低い下限警報温度とを設定し、庫内温度が下限警報温度以上に上昇した場合と基準警報温度以上に上昇した場合とで掛け率の値を変え、庫内温度が下限警報温度以上に上昇した場合の掛け率の値より庫内温度が基準警報温度以上に上昇した場合の掛け率の値を大きくしている。このため、庫内温度が基準警報温度以上に上昇した場合には、積算修正経過時間が急激に大きくなって警報発報積算時間に迅速に到達するとともに温度警報が迅速に発報されるので、庫内温度の上昇に伴う商品の傷みを抑制することができる。さらに、庫内温度が下限警報温度以上には上昇したが基準警報温度以上には上昇しない場合でも、その状態が継続した場合には積算修正経過時間が次第に増大するとともにやがて警報発報積算時間に到達して温度警報が発報されるので、庫内温度が基準警報温度未満であって下限警報温度以上の低い温度に上昇してその状態が継続された場合であっても商品が傷むということを抑制することができる。   In addition, as the alarm temperature, a reference alarm temperature and a lower limit alarm temperature lower than the reference alarm temperature are set, and the multiplication rate is calculated when the inside temperature rises above the lower limit alarm temperature and when it rises above the reference alarm temperature. By changing the value, the value of the multiplication rate when the internal temperature rises above the reference alarm temperature is made larger than the value of the multiplication rate when the internal temperature rises above the lower limit alarm temperature. For this reason, when the internal temperature rises above the reference alarm temperature, the accumulated correction elapsed time suddenly increases and the alarm alarm integration time is reached quickly, and the temperature alarm is issued quickly. The damage of the product accompanying the rise in the inside temperature can be suppressed. Furthermore, even if the internal temperature rises above the lower limit alarm temperature but does not rise above the reference alarm temperature, if the condition continues, the accumulated correction elapsed time will gradually increase and eventually the alarm alert integration time will be reached. Since the temperature alarm is triggered when the temperature reaches, the product will be damaged even if the internal temperature is lower than the reference alarm temperature and rises to a temperature lower than the lower limit alarm temperature and the state continues. Can be suppressed.

また、警報温度として、基準警報温度とこの基準警報温度より低い下限警報温度とこの基準警報温度より高い上限警報温度とを設定し、庫内温度が基準警報温度である場合には、掛け率の値を“1”とし、庫内温度が下限警報温度以上であって基準警報温度未満の場合には、掛け率の値を“1”より小さい値で比例変化させ、庫内温度が基準警報温度より大きく上限警報温度以下である場合には、掛け率の値を“1”より大きい値で比例変化させている。このため、庫内温度が基準警報温度以上に上昇した場合には、積算修正経過時間が急激に大きくなって警報発報積算時間に迅速に到達するとともに温度警報が迅速に発報されるので、庫内温度の上昇に伴う商品の傷みを抑制することができる。さらに、庫内温度が下限警報温度以上には上昇したが基準警報温度以上には上昇しない場合でも、その状態が継続した場合には積算修正経過時間が次第に増大するとともにやがて警報発報積算時間に到達して温度警報が発報されるので、庫内温度が基準警報温度未満であって下限警報温度以上の低い温度に上昇してその状態が継続された場合であっても商品が傷むということを抑制することができる。   As the alarm temperature, a reference alarm temperature, a lower limit alarm temperature lower than the reference alarm temperature, and an upper limit alarm temperature higher than the reference alarm temperature are set. When the value is “1” and the internal temperature is equal to or higher than the lower limit alarm temperature and lower than the reference alarm temperature, the multiplication rate is changed proportionally to a value lower than “1”, and the internal temperature is set to the reference alarm temperature. If it is greater than the upper limit alarm temperature, the multiplication rate value is proportionally changed to a value greater than “1”. For this reason, when the internal temperature rises above the reference alarm temperature, the accumulated correction elapsed time suddenly increases and the alarm alarm integration time is reached quickly, and the temperature alarm is issued quickly. The damage of the product accompanying the rise in the inside temperature can be suppressed. Furthermore, even if the internal temperature rises above the lower limit alarm temperature but does not rise above the reference alarm temperature, if the condition continues, the accumulated correction elapsed time will gradually increase and eventually the alarm alert integration time will be reached. Since the temperature alarm is triggered when the temperature reaches, the product will be damaged even if the internal temperature is lower than the reference alarm temperature and rises to a temperature lower than the lower limit alarm temperature and the state continues. Can be suppressed.

本発明の一実施形態について、図面に基づいて説明する。図1は、冷蔵ショーケース1の商品陳列室内の温度(庫内温度)の上昇時に温度警報を発報するシステムを示すブロック図であり、冷蔵ショーケース1には庫内温度を測定する温度センサ2が設けられ、この温度センサ2は制御装置3に接続されている。制御装置3は、冷蔵ショーケース1を管理する事務室等に設置されている。なお、冷蔵ショーケースには冷却器を含む冷凍装置が設けられ、この冷凍装置により冷蔵ショーケース1の庫内温度が調整されている。   An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a system that issues a temperature alarm when the temperature in the product display room (internal temperature) of the refrigerated showcase 1 rises. The refrigerated showcase 1 has a temperature sensor that measures the internal temperature. 2 is provided, and the temperature sensor 2 is connected to the control device 3. The control device 3 is installed in an office or the like that manages the refrigerated showcase 1. The refrigerated showcase is provided with a refrigeration apparatus including a cooler, and the internal temperature of the refrigerated showcase 1 is adjusted by the refrigeration apparatus.

制御装置3には、経過時間を測定するタイマ4と、各種のデータを記憶する記憶部5と、記憶部5に記憶されたデータと温度センサ2で測定した庫内温度とタイマ4で測定した時間とに基づいて各種の演算を行う演算部6と、演算部6での演算結果に応じて温度警報を発報する温度警報発報部7とが設けられている。   The control device 3 includes a timer 4 that measures elapsed time, a storage unit 5 that stores various data, data stored in the storage unit 5, the internal temperature measured by the temperature sensor 2, and the timer 4. A calculation unit 6 that performs various calculations based on time, and a temperature alarm notification unit 7 that issues a temperature alarm according to the calculation result of the calculation unit 6 are provided.

記憶部5に記憶されているデータとしては、予め設定した警報温度(下限警報温度、基準警報温度、上限警報温度)や、庫内温度が警報温度以上に上昇してからの経過時間毎にその経過時間から修正経過時間を求める場合に使用する掛け率等の固定データと、経過時間に掛け率を掛けることにより得られた修正経過時間を積算した積算修正経過時間である可変データ等がある。   The data stored in the storage unit 5 includes preset alarm temperatures (lower limit alarm temperature, reference alarm temperature, upper limit alarm temperature) and every time elapsed since the inside temperature rises above the alarm temperature. There are fixed data such as a multiplication rate used when the correction elapsed time is obtained from the elapsed time, variable data that is an accumulated correction elapsed time obtained by integrating the correction elapsed time obtained by multiplying the elapsed time by the multiplication rate, and the like.

ここで、下限警報温度を8℃、基準警報温度を12℃、上限警報温度を16℃に設定した場合における本発明の温度警報の発報と、基準警報温度を警報温度として庫内温度がその警報温度に上昇してから一定の遅延時間の経過後に温度警報を発報する従来例とについて、図2ないし図4に基づいて説明する。なお、図2は、庫内温度が下限警報温度、基準警報温度、上限警報温度と次第に上昇する場合について示しており、図3は、庫内温度が下限警報温度よりは上昇するが基準警報温度(従来例の警報温度)には上昇しない場合について示している。   Here, when the lower limit alarm temperature is set to 8 ° C., the reference alarm temperature is set to 12 ° C., and the upper limit alarm temperature is set to 16 ° C., the temperature alarm is issued according to the present invention, and the reference alarm temperature is set as the alarm temperature. A conventional example in which a temperature alarm is issued after a certain delay time has elapsed since the alarm temperature has been raised will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 shows the case where the internal temperature gradually increases with the lower limit alarm temperature, the reference alarm temperature, and the upper limit alarm temperature, and FIG. 3 shows that the internal temperature rises above the lower limit alarm temperature, but the reference alarm temperature. It shows the case where it does not rise to (alarm temperature of conventional example).

また、図4は、警報温度(下限警報温度、基準警報温度、上限警報温度)と庫内温度との温度差に応じて設定した掛け率の変化について示している。この掛け率の値は、庫内温度が基準警報温度(12℃)である場合には“1”、庫内温度が下限警報温度以上であって基準警報温度未満の場合には、1よれ小さい値で比例変化し、庫内温度が基準警報温度より大きく上限警報温度以下である場合には、“1”より大きい値で比例変化するように設定されている。   FIG. 4 shows the change in the multiplication rate set according to the temperature difference between the alarm temperature (lower limit alarm temperature, reference alarm temperature, upper limit alarm temperature) and the inside temperature. This multiplying factor value is “1” when the internal temperature is the reference alarm temperature (12 ° C.), and is smaller by 1 when the internal temperature is equal to or higher than the lower limit alarm temperature and lower than the reference alarm temperature. When the internal temperature is higher than the reference alarm temperature and lower than the upper limit alarm temperature, the value is set so as to change proportionally with a value larger than “1”.

このような構成において、冷蔵ショーケース1の庫内温度は温度センサ2により測定されており、測定結果は制御装置3の演算部6に入力されている。演算部6では、庫内温度が下限警報温度以上に上昇したか否かの判定が行われ、庫内温度が下限警報温度に上昇したと判定された場合には一定の経過時間毎(例えば、1分毎)にその経過時間に掛け率を掛けた修正経過時間が演算される。さらに、演算部6では、修正経過時間を積算することにより積算修正経過時間が求められ、積算修正経過時間が警報発報積算時間に到達したか否かが判定され、警報発報積算時間に到達した場合には、温度警報発報部7に対して温度警報を発報する信号を出力し、温度警報発報部7から温度警報が発報される。   In such a configuration, the internal temperature of the refrigerated showcase 1 is measured by the temperature sensor 2, and the measurement result is input to the calculation unit 6 of the control device 3. In the calculation unit 6, it is determined whether or not the internal temperature has risen above the lower limit alarm temperature, and when it is determined that the internal temperature has increased to the lower limit alarm temperature, every certain elapsed time (for example, The corrected elapsed time is calculated by multiplying the elapsed time by the rate every minute). Further, the calculation unit 6 obtains the accumulated correction elapsed time by integrating the corrected elapsed time, determines whether or not the accumulated correction elapsed time has reached the alarm alarm integration time, and reaches the alarm alarm integration time. In this case, a signal for issuing a temperature alarm is output to the temperature alarm issuing unit 7, and the temperature alarm is issued from the temperature alarm issuing unit 7.

庫内温度が基準警報温度より低い場合には、修正経過時間を求めるための掛け率が“1”より小さいので、修正経過時間は実際の経過時間の値より小さくなり、その修正経過時間を積算した積算修正経過時間の上昇は緩やかになる。   When the internal temperature is lower than the reference alarm temperature, the correction elapsed time is less than “1”, so the corrected elapsed time is smaller than the actual elapsed time value, and the corrected elapsed time is integrated. The increase in the accumulated correction elapsed time becomes moderate.

一方、庫内温度が基準警報温度より上昇した場合には、修正経過時間を求めるための掛け率が“1”より大きくなるとともに、その掛け率は庫内温度が上昇するにつれて次第に大きくなる。このため、庫内温度が上昇するにつれて修正経過時間を積算した積算修正経過時間は急激に大きくなり、警報発報積算時間に迅速に到達するとともに温度警報が迅速に発報される。このため、庫内温度が基準警報温度より上昇した場合には、従来例の温度警報の発報方法、即ち、庫内温度が警報温度に上昇してから一定の遅延時間が経過した後に温度警報を発報する方法に比べて、温度警報を発報する時間が“T”短くなる。これにより、庫内温度の上昇に伴う商品の傷みを抑制することができる。   On the other hand, when the internal temperature rises above the reference alarm temperature, the multiplication rate for obtaining the corrected elapsed time becomes larger than “1”, and the multiplication rate gradually increases as the internal temperature rises. For this reason, as the internal temperature rises, the accumulated correction elapsed time obtained by integrating the corrected elapsed time increases rapidly, and the alarm warning integration time is reached quickly, and the temperature alarm is quickly issued. For this reason, when the internal temperature rises above the reference alarm temperature, the conventional temperature alarm issuing method, that is, the temperature alarm after a certain delay time has elapsed since the internal temperature rose to the alarm temperature. Compared with the method of issuing the alarm, the time for issuing the temperature alarm is shortened by “T”. Thereby, the damage of the goods accompanying the raise in internal temperature can be suppressed.

つぎに、図3に示したように、庫内温度が下限警報温度以上には上昇したが基準警報温度以上には上昇しない場合でも、その状態が継続することにより修正経過時間を積算した積算修正経過時間が求められ、この積算修正経過時間はやがて警報発報積算時間に到達して温度警報が発報される。このため、庫内温度が基準警報温度未満であって下限警報温度以上の低い温度に上昇してその状態が継続された場合に、温度警報が発報されずに商品が傷むということを抑制することができる。従来例の温度警報発報方法によれば、庫内温度が警報温度に到達しない場合には、温度警報が発報されない。   Next, as shown in FIG. 3, even when the internal temperature rises above the lower limit alarm temperature but does not rise above the reference alarm temperature, the accumulated correction is obtained by integrating the corrected elapsed time by continuing the state. The elapsed time is obtained, and the accumulated correction elapsed time eventually reaches the alarm issue integration time and the temperature alarm is issued. For this reason, when the internal temperature is lower than the reference alarm temperature and rises to a temperature lower than the lower limit alarm temperature and the state continues, it is possible to prevent the product from being damaged without the temperature alarm being issued. be able to. According to the temperature alarm issuing method of the conventional example, when the internal temperature does not reach the alarm temperature, the temperature alarm is not issued.

なお、本実施の形態では、温度警報発報方法を冷蔵ショーケースに適用した場合を例に挙げて説明したが、この温度警報発報方法を冷凍ショーケースに適用してもよい。   In this embodiment, the case where the temperature alarm issuing method is applied to a refrigerated showcase has been described as an example, but this temperature alarm issuing method may be applied to a refrigerated showcase.
