弁の制御装置。1. A state sensor (7, 8) for detecting a state of a refrigerating apparatus and outputting a state signal, and the state sensor before outputting an operation signal for changing a valve opening to an electric expansion valve (6). The front state signal output from (7, 8) and the rear state signal output from the state sensor after the operation signal is output to the electric expansion valve (6) are compared, and the front state signal and the rear state signal are compared. And a judgment means (S3) for judging whether the difference exceeds a predetermined threshold value, and the judgment means (S3) judges that the difference does not exceed the predetermined threshold value. A predetermined measure is taken against the malfunction of the electric expansion valve (6), while the predetermined measure is not taken when the judgment means (S3) judges that the difference exceeds a predetermined threshold value. Means (S
And a 6), the treatment means, as the predetermined treatment, have a avoidance means for treatment to avoid overloading of the refrigeration circuit, the state sensor, the discharge pipe of the compressor (3) (3a) The temperature of
Discharge pipe temperature sensor (7) to detect and the drive power of the compressor
It is a current sensor (8) that detects the flow, and the above status signal is
The temperature signal from the discharge pipe temperature sensor (7) and the current sensor
A control device for an electric expansion valve, which is a current signal from the controller (8) .
において、 上記処置手段（Ｓ６）は、上記所定の処置として、警報
を行なう警報手段（Ｓ６）を有することを特徴とする電
動膨張弁の制御装置。2. The electric expansion valve control device according to claim 1, wherein the treatment means (S6) has an alarm means (S6) for giving an alarm as the predetermined treatment. Valve controller.
