Description

  The present invention relates to a kitchen management system for setting at least one or more usage amounts of tap water, gas, and electric power used in a kitchen to an appropriate usage amount by introducing a usage saving device.

  Conventionally, a tap water usage-saving device that reduces the usage of tap water used in a kitchen is known from Patent Document 1.

  The conventional example disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes an electromagnetic valve attached to a water pipe, an infrared sensor attached to a ceiling of a washing room of a commercial kitchen and irradiating infrared rays toward the floor of the washing area, and an electromagnetic valve. Start / stop button for opening and closing, water storage button, infrared sensor to detect that there is a person in the washing area, and to perform opening / closing control of solenoid valve based on operation of start / stop button and water storage button And a control unit.

  Then, with the infrared sensor detecting that there is a person in the washing area, pressing the start / stop button opens the solenoid valve to start water supply, and pressing the start / stop button again closes the solenoid valve to stop water supply. Therefore, if a person leaves the washing place during the water supply and does not detect the person, the solenoid valve is closed to stop the water supply.

  In addition, when a water storage button is pressed with the infrared sensor detecting that a person is in the washing area, the electromagnetic valve is opened to supply water for a certain period, and when the predetermined period has elapsed, the electromagnetic valve is closed to stop water supply. During this time, even if the person leaves the washing area during the water supply and does not detect the person, the water supply is continued until a certain period elapses, and the water supply is stopped by closing the electromagnetic valve after a certain period elapses.

  In the above conventional example, the daily usage amount of tap water, the usage amount per week, or the usage amount per month is displayed on the display device to control the usage amount of tap water in the kitchen. Or the usage amount is displayed to motivate the kitchen operator to save water.

  However, in the past, tap water usage was reduced by introducing the tap water usage reduction device as described above. However, the actual amount of tap water usage after the introduction of the tap water usage reduction device was reduced. Therefore, it is not known at all whether it is the proper usage amount by introducing the tap water usage saving device in the kitchen, and therefore it is appropriate in the kitchen when the tap water usage saving device is introduced. There is a problem that it is not possible to accurately manage whether or not water is being saved.

  In particular, even if a tap water usage-saving device is arranged in each of a plurality of kitchens, it has not been conventionally performed to manage the usage while comparing the water-saving states in the plurality of kitchens.

  Further, in the case of gas and electricity, there has not been conventionally performed such as management of appropriate usage savings for each kitchen.

In addition, it has not been conventionally possible to centrally manage the reduction in usage of tap water, gas, and electricity used in the kitchen.
JP 2002-47708 A

  The present invention has been invented in view of the above-described conventional problems, and at least one or a plurality of usage amounts of tap water, gas, and electric power used in a kitchen is reduced by introducing a usage saving device. In this case, it is possible to accurately manage whether or not the usage amount after introduction of the usage-saving device is an appropriate usage amount, and to give a person who works in the kitchen an appropriate target for water saving and energy saving. It is an object to provide a management system.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the kitchen management system according to the present invention uses at least one or a plurality of usage amounts of tap water, gas, and electric power used in the kitchen by introducing the usage-saving device 1. For each of a large number of installed kitchens that have already introduced the usage-saving device 1, before the introduction of the usage-saving device 1 Based on at least one or a plurality of usage amounts of tap water, gas and electric power in a certain period of time, usage amounts in a certain period after introduction, and data before and after the introduction by introducing the usage-saving device 1 It has a database 2 that registers the rate of reduction in usage, and the server 3 introduces a new usage-saving device 1 into the measurement target kitchen A, including the type of industry, type of business, number of seats, or number of guests in a certain period Based on the input of at least one or a plurality of usage amounts of tap water, gas, and electric power in a certain period before the introduction of the usage-saving device 1, from among a large number of introduced kitchens registered in the database 2, Select the introduced kitchen where the measurement target kitchen A matches the type of business, the business category, and the number of seats or the number of guests in a certain period of time, the amount of use in a certain period before the introduction of the usage-saving device 1 is the closest The saving rate extraction means 5 for extracting the saving rate of the usage amount in the selected introduced kitchen, and at least one of tap water, gas, and electric power for a certain period after the usage saving device is introduced into the measurement target kitchen A Alternatively, based on the input of a plurality of usage amounts, the above-mentioned saving rate is multiplied by the usage amount before introduction in the measurement target kitchen A every fixed period and the usage amount before introduction in the measurement target kitchen A every fixed period. Display processing means 6 for processing, as display output data, the target usage for each fixed period determined in step 1 and the actual usage for a fixed period after introduction, and the display output processing Based on the output data generated by the means 6, the usage rate before introduction of the measurement target kitchen A in a certain period and the usage amount before introduction of the measurement target kitchen A in a certain period are multiplied by the above-mentioned saving rate. The display unit 7 for displaying the obtained target usage amount and the actual usage amount for a certain period after introduction is provided , and the tap water usage saving device 1a is provided as the usage saving device 1 to save the tap water usage. The apparatus 1a has a constant flow valve 9 attached to the water supply port 8 and a water supply device 10 for pre-washing dishes, and the water supply device 10 for pre-washing dishes is used for pre-washing in order to pre-clean dirty dishes 11. Supply water to the sink 12 from above A water supply port 8, an electromagnetic valve 14 for supplying and stopping water supply to the water supply port 8, a detection sensor 15 for detecting the presence of an object to be detected below the water supply port 8, and a lower part of the water supply port 8. When the detection sensor 15 detects the presence of an object to be detected, the solenoid valve 14 is automatically opened to supply water from the water supply port 8, and the detection sensor 15 detects the presence of the object to be detected below the water supply port 8. If not, a sensor automatic feed / stop mode in which the solenoid valve 14 is automatically closed to stop water supply, and the solenoid valve 14 is opened and water supply is started from the water supply port 8 and a certain period of time has passed, or the water supply port When the water supply from 8 reaches a predetermined amount, the automatic water filling mode to the pre-washing sink 12 which automatically closes the electromagnetic valve 14 and stops the water supply and the opening and closing of the electromagnetic valve 14 are alternately and intermittently performed. It has an intermittent water supply mode in which water is supplied intermittently from the water supply port 8, and the above 3 Is characterized in that comprising a mode setting means 16 for selecting and setting one water supply mode of the water supply mode.

In this way, the industry, the business condition, the number of seats or the number of guests in the measurement target kitchen A that newly introduces the usage-saving device 1 to the server 3, and the tap water in the fixed period before the introduction of the usage-saving device 1 By inputting at least one or a plurality of usage amounts of gas and electric power, the measurement target kitchen A is automatically selected from the many introduced kitchens registered in the database 2 by the saving rate extraction means 5. And the selected introduction by selecting the installed kitchen with the same number of seats or number of customers in a certain period, and the amount of use in a certain period before introducing the device 1 It is possible to extract the usage saving rate in the completed kitchen. The usage saving rate extracted in this way is set as the saving rate of the measurement target kitchen A, and the usage rate of the measurement target kitchen A before the introduction in a certain period of time. It can automatically determine a target amount over a period of time of the measurement object kitchen A by multiplying the savings rate were extracted as described above to the amount. Then, the usage amount before introduction of the measurement target kitchen A for a certain period, the target usage amount obtained by multiplying the usage amount before introduction of the measurement target kitchen A for a certain period by the above-mentioned saving rate, By displaying the actual usage amount in a certain period on the display unit 7, the usage amount before introduction of the measurement target kitchen A in the certain period is compared with the actual usage amount in the certain period after introduction. By doing so, you can see the actual savings in a certain period of time due to the introduction of the usage-saving device 1, and compare the actual usage and the target usage in a certain period of time after the introduction. In actual use later, it can be seen how close the target usage is, or how much difference it is from the target usage. Use of the scan and electricity, industry, business category, the number of customers in the auditorium number or a certain period of time, in the measurement object kitchen A usage before introduction has been identified, whether it is appropriate, whether the apparent. Further, effective water saving can be achieved by the water saving effect of the constant flow valve 9 and the water saving effect of the water supply device 10 for washing dishes before washing. In particular, the tableware pre-wash water supply apparatus 10 is provided with three water supply modes, and when the pre-wash sink 12 is filled with water, the automatic water filling mode can be set so that the water can be filled accurately, and the dishes used for Chinese and Western dishes are used. 11 and pre-washing dishes 11 that are very dirty, set the sensor automatic feed / stop mode so that the dirty dishes 11 are positioned below the water supply port 8 and are continuously washed. The pre-washing of the highly dirty tableware 11 can be effectively performed by supplying water, and the pre-washing operation is temporarily interrupted or when there is time before the next tableware 11 is washed, the detection sensor 15 11) is not detected, so water supply is automatically stopped and water is not unnecessarily drained. In addition, in the case of tableware 11 used for Japanese cuisine or tableware 11 with relatively little dirt, Set to intermittent water supply mode The pre-wash sink 12 can be pre-washed effectively with a small amount of water supply, such as removing dirt with water filled in the sink 12 and rinsing with water that is intermittently supplied. It can save water and save energy.

  In addition, there are a plurality of measurement target kitchens A, and at least one or a plurality of usage amounts of tap water, gas, and electric power for each fixed period after the usage saving device is introduced into each measurement target kitchen A. The communication means 22 for transmitting to the server 3 is provided, and based on the output data generated by the display output processing means 6 provided in the server 3, each use result in a certain period of the plurality of measurement target kitchens is listed on the display unit. Comparison display is preferable.

  With such a configuration, the use results of a plurality of measurement target kitchens A in a certain period can be compared and displayed on the display unit 7 so that a plurality of measurement target kitchens A can be compared.

  Further, among the many introduced kitchens registered in the database 2, the measurement target kitchen A matches the type of industry and business type, and the number of seats or the number of customers in a certain period, the usage saving device 1 is introduced. The saving rate extraction means 5 for extracting the saving rate by selecting the introduced kitchen that most closely approximates the amount used in the previous fixed period is used by scoring the number of seats or the number of guests in the fixed period according to the size of the number. The amount of usage for a certain period before the introduction of the volume saving device 1 is scored according to the amount of usage, the type of business and business conditions match, and the total of the number of seats or the number of customers and the amount of usage for a certain period is It is preferable to select the closest introduced kitchen.

  By adopting such a configuration, in selecting an introduction kitchen for obtaining an appropriate usage-saving rate in the measurement target kitchen A to which the usage-saving device 1 is to be introduced, a large number of data registered in the database 2 are selected. You can easily select from the installed kitchen.

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, at least one or more of tap water, gas, and electric power used in the kitchen can be reduced by introducing a usage-saving device. The number of customers in a certain period, the number of customers in a certain period, and the amount used in a certain period before introduction It is possible to accurately manage whether or not the usage amount after the introduction of the device is an appropriate usage amount, and appropriate water saving and energy saving can be achieved by approaching the appropriate usage amount. In addition, for those who work in the kitchen, knowing the appropriate amount of use after the introduction of the amount-of-use-saving device has the effect that the worker can be given appropriate targets for water saving and energy saving.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

  The present invention is a kitchen management system for setting the usage amount of at least one or more of tap water, gas, and electric power used in the kitchen to an appropriate usage amount by introducing the usage-saving device 1.

  First, the usage-saving device 1 introduced in the kitchen management system of the present invention will be described.

  In the following embodiments, as a usage-saving device 1 for saving at least one or a plurality of usage amounts of tap water, gas, and electric power used in a kitchen, a tap water usage-saving device 1a, a power usage-saving device An example in which 1b is introduced will be described. Here, the amount of tap water used in the kitchen is reduced by introducing the tap water usage-saving device 1a, which means that the amount of hot water used in the kitchen is reduced. The introduction of the tap water usage-saving device 1a will simultaneously reduce the amount of gas used to boil the hot water used in the kitchen, so the tap water usage-saving device 1a is designed to reduce the usage of tap water. At the same time, it is also a device for saving the amount of gas used.

  In the embodiment, the tap water usage-saving device 1a is, for example, as shown in FIG. 2 and includes a constant flow valve 9 attached to the water supply port 8 and a water supply device 10 for pre-washing dishes.

  The constant flow valve 9 is incorporated in the water supply port 8 in order to make the amount of water flowing from the water supply port 8 substantially constant, and is designed to save water by preventing water from being discharged from the water supply port 8 more than necessary. For example, a constant flow valve 9 or the like known from Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-100749 can be used.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the tableware pre-washing water supply apparatus 10 includes a water supply port 8 for supplying water to the pre-washing sink 12 from above to pre-clean dirty tableware 11, and water supply to the water supply port 8. An electromagnetic valve 14 for stopping water (an electromagnetic valve 14a for supplying and stopping water, an electromagnetic valve 14b for supplying and stopping hot water) and an object to be detected below the water supply port 8 A detection sensor 15 for detecting the presence and an operation panel 17 are provided.

  The operation panel 17 is provided with a control unit (not shown), a display unit, mode setting means 16 and the like. By operating the mode setting means 16, the following three modes can be selected and controlled by the control unit.

  That is, the three modes are that when the detection sensor 15 detects that an object to be detected exists below the water supply port 8, the electromagnetic valve 14 is automatically opened to supply water from the water supply port 8 and the detection sensor 15. When the presence of an object to be detected is not detected below the water supply port 8, a sensor automatic water supply / stop mode in which the electromagnetic valve 14 is automatically closed to stop water supply, and the electromagnetic valve 14 is opened to supply water from the water supply port 8. An automatic water filling mode to the pre-washing sink 12 which automatically closes the electromagnetic valve 14 to stop the water supply when a certain period of time has elapsed from the start or when water supply from the water supply port 8 reaches a predetermined amount, and the electromagnetic valve 14 Is an intermittent water supply mode in which water is intermittently supplied alternately from the water supply port 8 by alternately and intermittently opening and closing.

  In order to perform the pre-washing work of the tableware in the commercial kitchen, first, the operator operates the mode setting means 16 to set the automatic water filling mode, so that the solenoid valve 14 (14a, 14b) is set. Opening and closing control is performed, and the pre-washing sink 12 is automatically filled with water.

  In this way, the pre-washing sink 12 is filled with water and the pre-washing of the tableware 11 is waited. Next, when the dirty dishes 11 are generated, the dirty dishes 11 are once placed on the table 13, and the dirty dishes 11 placed on the table 13 are pre-washed by hand washing. In this case, the sensor automatic supply / stop mode or the intermittent water supply mode is set according to the dirt state of the tableware 11.

  When the tableware 11 is one in which the oil or the residue of the sauce is difficult to wash away or very dirty, the mode setting means 16 is operated to set the sensor automatic supply / stop mode.

  When the sensor automatic supply / stop mode is set, the detection sensor 15 detects a detection object (tableware or a worker's hand) in a certain area below the water supply port 8, so that the detection sensor 15 detects the tableware or the worker's hand. While the hand is being detected, the solenoid valve 14 (14a, 14b) is automatically opened for continuous water supply. Accordingly, the water supply is continued while the tableware 11 is hand-washed in a certain area below the water supply port 8, and oil and sauce residues and terrible dirt can be reliably washed away by pre-washing.

  In pre-washing the tableware 11 which is very dirty, the whole or a part of the tableware 11 is soaked in water stretched in the pre-washing sink 12 or the whole tableware 11 is stretched in the pre-washing sink 12. The residue is washed away by the water supplied from the water supply port 8 while being put out on the surface of the water, and the pre-wash is performed by rinsing.

  During the operation in the sensor automatic supply / stop mode, when the tableware 11 is rinsed and the detection sensor 15 no longer detects an object to be detected in a certain area below the water supply port 8, that is, a certain amount below the water supply port 8. When tableware or an operator's hand no longer exists in the area, the electromagnetic valve 14 (14a, 14b) is automatically closed, and water supply is temporarily stopped in the sensor automatic supply / stop mode. Thereafter, when the detection sensor 15 detects a tableware or an operator's hand as an object to be detected in a certain area below the water supply port 8, the electromagnetic sensor 14 (14a, 14b) is automatically opened again to detect the detection sensor 15 again. However, while the tableware and the operator's hand are detected, the solenoid valve 14 (14a, 14b) is automatically opened to continuously supply water, and the tableware 11 having a high level of dirt is pre-washed.

  As described above, in the automatic sensor supply / stop mode, the water supply is continued while the tableware 11 is being hand-washed in a certain area below the water supply port 8, so that oil and sauce residues and terrible dirt can be reliably ensured. Since the water supply is stopped while the pre-washing of the tableware 11 is temporarily stopped in the sensor automatic supply / stop mode, the waste of water supply in the sensor automatic supply / stop mode is wasted. Lost and can save water.

  On the other hand, if the dishes 11 are relatively dirty, the mode setting means 16 is operated to set the intermittent water supply mode.

  When the intermittent water supply mode is set, the electromagnetic valve 14 (14a, 14b) is alternately opened and closed alternately, and water is intermittently supplied from the water supply port 8. Therefore, the operator performs the hand washing operation of the tableware 11 while using both the hand washing of the tableware 11 using intermittent water supply and the hand washing of the tableware 11 soaked in the water washed on the pre-washing sink 12. Finally, rinse. In this case, since the dishes 11 are relatively less soiled, even if the water supplied from the water supply port 8 is intermittently supplied without continuous supply, sufficient pre-washing can be performed to save water. be able to.

  As described above, the tableware that has been prewashed by selecting the sensor automatic supply / stop mode or the intermittent water supply mode is sent to the tableware cleaning unit 18 for main cleaning. In the tableware cleaning unit 18, automatic cleaning using a detergent and automatic rinsing are performed while the tableware 11 is transferred by an automatic transfer means such as a conveyor.

  Thus, the tap water usage-saving device 1a in the embodiment saves water used in the pre-washing stage of tableware in the kitchen.

  Moreover, when the tap water usage-saving device 1a is introduced as described above, the usage amount of hot water (hot water supply amount) using gas as a heat source is also reduced at the same time, and thus the usage amount of gas is also reduced. .

  Next, an example in which the usage-saving device 1 is the power usage-saving device 1b will be described.

  As the power consumption saving device 1b, for example, an automatic voltage control device 19 that can reduce power consumption by voltage control of a conventionally known commercial power source can be introduced.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the automatic voltage control device 19 includes a transformer 20 and a transformation ratio adjusting means 20a. When the output of the secondary side of the transformer 20 is viewed, the transformer 20 is transformed by the transformation ratio adjusting means 20a. In this way, the secondary side output of the transformer 20 is adjusted to a constant voltage of 100 V or less. Thus, it is possible to use an automatic voltage control device or the like known from Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-245834.

  The usage-saving device 1 (tap water usage-saving device 1a, power usage-saving device 1b) having the above-described configuration is introduced and installed in the measurement target kitchen A that is a measurement target in the kitchen management system of the present invention.

  FIG. 1 is a control block diagram of the kitchen management system of the present invention.

  In FIG. 1, B is a management center, and a server 3 is provided in the management center B. A terminal device 21 is provided in the measurement target kitchen A into which the usage-saving device 1 is introduced, and the terminal devices 21 provided in the plurality of measurement target kitchens A are communication networks such as the Internet or an intranet, or other communication means 22. It is connected to the server 3 via

  In the figure, reference numeral 2 denotes a database. For each of the introduced kitchens that have already introduced the usage-saving device 1, the number of industries, business categories, the number of seats, the number of customers in a certain period (for example, one month), the usage-saving device 1 At least one or more usage amounts of tap water, gas, and electric power (in the embodiment, usage amount of tap water, usage amount of gas, electric power usage amount) in a certain period (for example, one month) before introduction, constant after introduction The usage saving rate based on the data before and after the introduction by introducing the usage saving device 1 during the period (for example, one month) is registered.

  In the embodiment, the type of business, the type of business, the number of seats or the number of guests in one month, the amount of tap water, the amount of gas used, the amount of power used in the month before the introduction of the usage-saving device 1, the month after the introduction The amount of water used and the water saving rate, gas saving rate, and power saving rate based on pre-introduction and post-introduction data are registered in database 2 (water supply database 2a, gas database 2b, and electric database 2c), respectively. It is.

  Here, the types of business are classified according to family restaurant kitchens, hotel kitchens, employee cafeterias, and the like. In addition, there are two types of business categories: Japanese, Western, Chinese, Japanese and Western, or both Japanese and Chinese, Western and Japanese, or Japanese, Western, and Chinese. It is classified according to the type of meal.

  As described above, the data of the type of business and the business type are the number of seats or the number of customers in a certain period (for example, one month), the amount used in a certain period before the introduction of the amount-saving device 1, the data on the amount used after the introduction, The reason why it is registered in the database 2 together with the data is as follows.

  For example, taking tap water as an example, the amount of all tap water (including hot water) used in the kitchen is roughly the amount used in the pre-washing of the dishes 11, the amount used in the main washing of the dishes 11, It is determined by the total amount used. For example, when the tap water usage-saving device 1a as described above is introduced as the usage-saving device 1, tap water (including hot water) used for pre-washing the tableware 11 is saved. The ratio of the amount of tap water (including hot water) used in pre-washing the tableware 11 in the total amount of tap water used in the city varies depending on the type of business and the business condition. For this reason, the tap water calculated | required based on the usage-amount (total usage) of the tap water in the kitchen before introduction of the tap-water usage-saving apparatus 1a and the usage-amount (total usage) of the tap water in the kitchen after introduction The rate of saving varies depending on the industry and business type.

  The same applies to gas, and the total amount of gas used in the kitchen is the sum of the amount used for hot water supply and the amount used for cooking. However, the ratio of the amount of gas used for hot water supply to the total amount of gas used in the kitchen and the rate of gas saving vary depending on the type of business and business condition.

  The same applies to electricity, and the total amount of power used in the kitchen is roughly divided into usage for lighting, air conditioning, and usage for refrigeration / freezing. Here, the usage in refrigeration / freezing is not related to business hours, but the power consumption of lighting and air conditioning is related to business hours, for example, and the usage varies depending on the type of business and business condition. For this reason, the electricity saving rate also varies depending on the type of business and business type.

  Therefore, in order to obtain the target usage of tap water, gas, and power in the measurement target kitchen A, as described later, based on the saving rate, the database 2 stores the data of the industry and business type. Alternatively, it is necessary to register together with the number of customers in a certain period (for example, one month), usage data in a certain period before introduction of the usage-saving device 1, usage data after introduction, and data on the saving rate.

  The server 3 can input basic data in the measurement target kitchen A into which the usage-saving device 1 is newly introduced by the input means 23.

  The basic data in the measurement target kitchen A that newly introduces the usage-saving device 1 that is input by the input means 23 is the type of business, the type of business, the number of seats in the measurement target kitchen A that newly introduces the usage-saving device 1 or This is data on the number of customers in a certain period (for example, one month) and at least one or a plurality of consumption amounts of tap water, gas, and electric power in a certain period (for example, one month) before the introduction of the usage-saving device 1.

  For example, it is input which business category the measurement target kitchen A into which the usage-saving device 1 is newly introduced belongs to which business category, and which business category it belongs to. Further, the number of seats in the restaurant to be cooked in the measurement target kitchen A or the number of guests in a certain period (for example, one month) of the restaurant is input. Furthermore, the total usage amount, the total usage amount of gas, and the total usage amount of electric power in a certain period (for example, one month) before introduction in the measurement target kitchen A to which the usage saving device 1 is to be introduced are actually measured. And input. In this case, data on average values of the amount of tap water, gas, and power consumption used every hour for 24 hours a day before introduction is also input. These input data of the measurement target kitchen A into which the new usage-saving device 1 is introduced are registered in the database 2 (water supply database 2a, gas database 2b, electric database 2c).

  The server 3 is provided with a saving rate extraction means 5, and as described above, in the measurement target kitchen A in which the new usage saving device 1 is introduced, the type of industry, business category, number of seats or the number of customers in a certain period, and usage saving. When the usage amounts of tap water, gas, and electric power for a certain period before the introduction of the apparatus 1 are input as basic data, they are registered in the database 2 by the saving rate extraction means 5 based on the input of the basic data. Among the many introduced kitchens, the basic data of the inputted measurement target kitchen A matches the type of industry and business type, and the number of seats or the number of customers in a certain period, before the introduction of the device 1 for reducing usage Select one of the introduced kitchens that most closely matches the basic data on the amount of usage over a period of time, and use the selected kitchens to reduce the amount of consumption (tap water saving rate, gas saving rate, Disappear It is adapted to extract power saving rate).

  Here, in the measurement target kitchen A to which the new usage-saving device 1 inputted by the input means 23 is newly introduced from the basic data of many introduced kitchens registered in the database 2 by the saving rate extraction means 5. When selecting an installed kitchen that is most similar to the basic data, first select the one that matches the basic data of the industry and business category, and further score the number of seats or the number of guests in a certain period by the size of the number. In addition, the usage amount for a certain period before introducing the usage-saving device 1 is scored according to the amount of usage, and the total of the number of seats or the number of customers and the usage point for a certain period is input The introduced kitchen closest to the target kitchen A is selected, and the usage saving rate in the introduced kitchen which is the standard selected in this way is extracted.

  The server 3 further includes display output processing means 6.

  After the usage-saving device 1 is introduced into the measurement target kitchen A to be measured, the usage-saving device in the measurement target kitchen A is transferred from the terminal device 21 provided in the measurement target kitchen A to the server 3 via the communication means 22. Data on the usage amount of tap water, gas, and power consumption after the introduction of 1 is transmitted. In this case, information from the usage-saving device 1 (tap water usage-saving device 1a, power usage-saving device 1b) introduced into the measurement target kitchen A is automatically transmitted to the terminal device 21 provided in the measurement target kitchen A. Data is transmitted from the terminal device 21 provided in the measurement target kitchen A once a day for 24 hours on the previous day for each hour of tap water, gas, and power consumption, and registered in the database 2 It has come to be. In this case, other data such as sales of the measurement target kitchen A (the measurement target restaurant) is simultaneously transmitted to the server 3 and registered in the database 2.

  Then, as described above, when the usage data of tap water, gas, and power consumption for each hour of 24 hours the previous day is transmitted from the terminal device 21, the display output processing means 6 provided in the server 3 The amount of usage (introduction of tap water, gas, and power consumption) before introduction every certain period (for example, 1 hour, 1 day, or 1 month) in the measurement target kitchen A, and the constant in the measurement target kitchen A The above savings (reductions in tap water, gas and power consumption) in the usage (tap water, gas and power consumption) before introduction in each period (for example, 1 hour, 1 day or 1 month) Rate) multiplied by the target usage (target usage of tap water, gas, and power consumption) for a certain period (for example, 1 hour, 1 day, or 1 month), and a certain period after introduction ( For example, 1 hour or 1 day Rui is adapted to process a 1 month the actual usage in the month) (tap water, gas, each actual usage of power) and display output data.

  Further, the display output processing means 6 provided in the server 3 processes the achievement level of each target usage amount in a certain period of the plurality of measurement target kitchens A as display output data.

  In the figure, reference numeral 7 denotes a display unit. Based on the output data generated by the display output processing means 6, the usage amount before introduction of the measurement target kitchen A in a certain period and the measurement object kitchen A in the certain period Display the target usage amount obtained by multiplying the usage rate before introduction by the above-mentioned saving rate and the actual usage amount for a certain period after introduction, or each of the measurement target kitchen A in a certain period. A list of achievement levels of the target usage is displayed.

  4 to 9 show examples of display on the display unit 7. The display unit 7 is composed of a display device such as a liquid crystal display, and the screen of the display unit 7 displays the measured value of the change in usage for a certain period before the usage-saving device 1 is installed. The amount display 26 and the target value of the change in the usage amount for each fixed period obtained by multiplying the measured value of the change in the usage amount for the predetermined period before the introduction by the saving rate extracted as described above are displayed. A target value display 27 to be displayed and a post-introduction usage amount display 28 to display an actual measurement value of changes in the usage amount for every fixed period after the introduction are displayed.

Hereinafter, the display by the display unit 7 will be specifically described with reference to FIGS . 4 to 9.

  The display unit 7 can select and display four types of screens 30 such as a water screen 30a, an electric screen 30b, a gas screen (not shown), and a group comparison screen 30c for each type of display. Further, for each data type, the water screen 30a, the electric screen 30b, the gas screen, and the group comparison screen 30c can be displayed for each "day", "month", and "year".

  The water display screen 30a, the electric screen 30b, the gas screen, and the group comparison screen 30c are all provided with a main display unit 31. Further, the water supply screen 30a, the electric screen 30b, the gas screen, and the group comparison screen 30c each have a water display screen. A display button 32a, an electric screen display button 32b, a gas screen display button 32c, a group comparison screen display button 32d, a day display button 33a, a month display button 33b, and a year display button 33c are provided, and a water supply screen 30a, an electric screen 30b, When either the gas screen or the group comparison screen 30c is displayed, the water screen display button 32a, the electric screen display button 32b, the gas screen display button 32c, and the group comparison screen display button 32d that are displayed are different. By clicking one of the buttons, you can switch to the other screen you clicked. When "day" or "month" or "year" is displayed on any of the road screen 30a, the electric screen 30b, the gas screen, and the group comparison screen 30c, the day display button 33a, the month display button 33b, and the year display button By clicking one of the buttons that are different from the displayed ones among the displayed ones, the screen can be switched to another clicked screen.

  In addition, the water screen 30a, the electric screen 30b, the gas screen, and the group comparison screen 30c are provided with a data selection button 35 so that “year”, “month”, and “day” can be selected and designated. ing.

  On the main display 31 provided on the water screen 30a, the electric screen 30b, and the gas screen, the above-mentioned pre-introduction usage amount display 26, the target value display 27, and the post-introduction usage amount display 28 are displayed as bar graphs. Yes.

  In the display as a bar graph in the main display unit 31, one of the vertical axis and the horizontal axis is used and the other is time.

  Here, the main display unit 31 provided on each of the water screen 30a, the electric screen 30b, and the gas screen has a post-introduction usage amount display 28 for every predetermined period (every hour when “day” is designated, A bar graph is displayed every day when "Month" is specified, and every month when "Year" is specified.

  On the other hand, the pre-introduction usage amount display 26 and the target value display 27 are pre-introduction for selecting whether or not to display “pre-introduction usage” provided on the water screen 30a, the electric screen 30b, and the gas screen, respectively. The usage amount display selection button 34a and the target value display selection button 34b for selecting whether or not to display the "target value" is clicked to designate the display, and is displayed. If not specified, it is not displayed. The pre-introduction usage amount display 26 and the target value display 27 are displayed as bar graphs so as to overlap the post-introduction usage amount display 28 displayed on the main display unit 31 at regular intervals as described above.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of display, which is an example of a water supply screen 30a in which the display type is water supply and “day” (in the example, May 11, 2008 is specified) is specified. These are screens designated to display the pre-introduction usage amount display 26 and the target value display 27 by clicking both the previous usage amount display selection button 34a and the target value display selection button 34b. "May 11" 24 hours a day, the usage amount of tap water every hour before introduction, target usage amount, and usage amount after introduction are the usage amount indication 26 before introduction, target value display 27, usage amount after introduction, respectively. The display 28 is overlaid as a bar graph every hour.

  Here, the pre-introduction usage amount display 26 is the post-introduction usage amount display indicating the usage amount of tap water for 24 hours a day before introduction, which is input as basic data of the measurement target kitchen A as described above. 28 is displayed in an overlapping manner.

  The target value display 27 is obtained by multiplying the amount of tap water used per hour in the day before introduction by the amount of tap water saved in the measurement target kitchen A extracted as described above. In addition, the target value of the amount of tap water used per hour in one day is displayed as a bar graph in a superimposed manner on the pre-introduction usage amount display 26 displayed every hour.

  When the target value display selection button 34b is clicked on the water supply screen 30a shown in FIG. 4 so as not to designate the display, a water supply screen 30a as shown in FIG. 5 is obtained, and the pre-introduction usage amount display 26 and the post-introduction usage amount. The display 28 is displayed as a bar graph superimposed every hour.

  In addition, if the user clicks the pre-introduction use amount display selection button 34a on the water supply screen 30a in FIG. 5 and operates so as not to designate the display (or the pre-introduction use amount display selection button 34a on the water supply screen 30a in FIG. When both of the target value display selection buttons 34b are clicked and operated so that neither of them is designated), a water supply screen 30a as shown in FIG. 6 is obtained, and only the usage amount display 28 after introduction is displayed as a bar graph every hour. The

  By looking at the water supply screen 30a shown in FIG. 6 above, the actual amount of tap water used per hour on the specified day after the introduction of the tap water usage-saving device 1a in the corresponding measurement target kitchen A is obtained. I understand.

  In addition, by looking at the water supply screen 30a shown in FIG. 5 above, the hourly water supply before the introduction of the tap water usage-saving device 1a in the corresponding measurement target kitchen A and every hour on the designated day after the introduction. You can see how much water is saved.

  In addition, by looking at the water supply screen 30a shown in FIG. 4 above, the amount of tap water used for each hour in the measurement target kitchen A before introduction, the target amount used, and the actual use after introduction You can see the relationship with quantity. In particular, by comparing the upper end of the target value display 27 with the upper end of the pre-introduction usage amount display 26, how much water supply compared to before the introduction in a certain time (for example, 1 hour from 8 am to 9 am). It is known whether water must be saved, and the upper end of the target value display 27 is compared with the upper end of the post-introduction usage amount display 28, so that a certain time (for example, 1 hour from 8:00 am to 9:00 am) ), If the actual amount of tap water used has reached the target value or not, it can be determined how much the target value has not been reached.

  Thus, appropriately managing whether or not the amount of tap water used in a certain measurement target kitchen A by introducing the tap water usage-saving device 1a is an appropriate amount used every hour. Can do.

  Here, when the usage after introduction is less than the target value, it may not be said that all are appropriate. In other words, if the usage after introduction is too small compared to the target value, the usage during the time period is not appropriate, and it can be considered that the usage is too little for some reason. . In this way, when the amount of use after introduction at a certain time is too small compared to the target value, it can be seen by looking at the water supply screen 30a. For example, at that time, there were fewer customers than usual or work in the kitchen. It can be used as basic data for investigating the cause, such as whether the number of workers has changed or some other cause.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of a water supply screen 30a in which the display type is water supply and “Month” (in the example, April 2008 is specified). It is a screen designated to display the usage amount display 26 before introduction and the target value display 27 by clicking any of the target value display selection buttons 34b, and each of the designated “April 2008” for each month. The daily pre-introduction usage amount, target usage amount, and post-introduction usage amount are displayed as a bar graph for each day as a pre-introduction usage amount display 26, a target value display 27, and a post-introduction usage amount display 28, respectively. .

  In addition, although illustration is omitted, by specifying "FY" on the water supply screen 30a, the amount of tap water used for each month of the specified year before the introduction, target usage, usage after introduction Can be displayed as a bar graph for each month as a pre-introduction usage amount display 26, a target value display 27, and a post-introduction usage amount display 28, respectively.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of the electrical screen 30b in which the display type is electricity and “year” (2007 is designated in the embodiment), and the pre-introduction usage amount display selection button 34a, the target value is shown. Each of the display selection buttons 34b is a screen that is designated to display the pre-introduction usage amount display 26 and the target value display 27, and each of the designated “2007” power for each month for one year. The pre-introduction usage amount, target usage amount, and post-introduction usage amount are displayed as a bar graph for each month as a pre-introduction usage amount display 26, a target value display 27, and a post-introduction usage amount display 28, respectively.

  Although the above example mainly shows an example of displaying water on the water screen 30a, the display on the electric screen 30b for electricity and the display of the gas screen for gas are the same as the display on the water screen 30a for water. The display of the water screen 30a, the electric screen 30b, and the gas screen is switched by clicking any one of the water screen display button 32a, the electric screen display button 32b, and the gas screen display button 32c.

  Next, when the group comparison screen display button 32d is clicked, a group comparison screen 30c is displayed.

  That is, in a plurality of measurement target kitchens A managed by the server 3 (that is, a plurality of measurement target kitchens A belonging to a group managed by the server 3; for example, a plurality of measurement target kitchens A belonging to a group of a certain restaurant chain). The degree of achievement of each target usage amount of tap water, gas, and electric power by introducing the usage saving device 1 is obtained, and the achievement degree of the plurality of measurement target kitchens A is generated as display output by the display output processing means 6 Then, based on the achievement level output data generated by the display output processing means 6, the target achievement level (achievement degree of target savings) in a certain period of the plurality of measurement target kitchens A is grouped in the display unit 7. This is displayed on the comparison screen 30c.

  The group comparison screen 30c is as shown in FIG. 9, for example. In FIG. 9, a list of target achievement levels of tap water in a plurality of measurement target kitchens A in the group is displayed as a list. In the embodiment, by scrolling on the group comparison screen 30c, a list of target achievement levels of tap water of a plurality of measurement target kitchens A is displayed in a list comparison manner. → A list comparison display of the target achievement levels of gases in a plurality of measurement target kitchens A is sequentially displayed on the screen.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the target achievement level (achievement level of target savings) is obtained as follows.

That is,
Target achievement level = (Actual savings in a certain period) / (Target savings in a certain period)
It is calculated by the following formula.

here,
Target savings for a certain period = (Usage before introduction for a certain period)-(Target usage for a certain period)
Actual savings in a certain period = (Amount used before introduction in a certain period)-(Amount used after introduction in a certain period)
It is.

  For example, in FIG. 9, the 17th store has achieved the target if the usage amount before introduction in the past April before introduction is 200 t, the target usage amount is 150 t, and the usage amount after introduction in April after introduction is 144 t. Degree = (200-144) / (200-150) = 112%, which is displayed as shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 9, it can be seen that the closer the target achievement is to 100%, the more appropriate the amount of tap water used, and the farther the target achievement is from 100%, the more inappropriate the usage.

  Here, it is understood that it is necessary to reduce the amount of tap water used so that the target achievement rate approaches 100% when the target achievement level is lower than 100%.

  Further, the degree of achievement of the target is negative, that is, in FIG. 9, at the 15th store, the 18th store, and the 8th store, the usage amount after the introduction of the usage-saving device 1 is larger than the usage amount before the introduction. Therefore, it can be seen that the water-saving effect is not improved at all, and it is understood that the reason why the water-saving effect is not improved despite the introduction of the usage-saving device 1 must be immediately investigated.

  In addition, the 16th store, the 4th store, and the 17th store all show that the usage amount after the introduction of the usage-saving device 1 is lower than the target usage amount, so that the water-saving effect is improved. At the same time, the fact that the amount used is less than the target amount used is not necessarily the appropriate amount used as described above. For some reason, such as a decrease in the number of customers, fluctuation in the number of workers working in the kitchen, or It turns out that we must investigate the cause, such as whether there was some cause other than.

  In this way, by comparing and displaying the target achievement rates of the plurality of measurement target kitchens A, the reduction effect due to the introduction of the usage-saving device 1 can be collectively compared with the plurality of measurement target kitchens A. Can understand and manage.

  In the above embodiment, the example of the list comparison display as the target achievement is shown in the group comparison screen 30c when the results of the use state of the tap water, power, and gas of the plurality of measurement target kitchens A are displayed as a list comparison. It is not necessarily limited to this.

  For example, on the group comparison screen 30c, the results of use states of tap water, power, and gas in a plurality of measurement target kitchens A may be displayed as a list as a degree of deviation from the target usage amount.

in this case,
Deviation from target usage = (Usage after introduction in a certain period-Target usage in a certain period) / (Target usage)
Calculate by the following formula.

  In addition, the group comparison screen 30c obtains the results of use of tap water, power, and gas in a plurality of measurement target kitchens A as the usage after introduction in a certain period when the target usage in the certain period is 100%. (In other words, the usage amount after introduction in a certain period / the target usage amount in a certain period) may be displayed as a list.

Further, in the present invention, not only data on the amount of tap water, electric power, and gas used from the terminal device 21 of each measurement target kitchen A, but also the sales of the restaurant in each measurement target kitchen and other data are stored in the server 3. so as to transmit, on the screen of the display unit 7, the restaurant sales, the proportion of light, heat and water costs for sales, tap water, power, emissions of CO ₂ based on the amount of the gas calculated, CO ₂ with respect to the sales and it displays the percentage, etc. of emissions, or tap water, power, or display savings of gas as the amount respectively, and displays the emissions CO _2. The server 3 performs data processing necessary for display.

  In the above-described embodiment, the usage amount of tap water, gas, and power used in the kitchen has been described as an example of the kitchen management system for making the usage amount appropriate by introducing the usage-saving device. In the embodiment, the server 3 provided in the management center B has been described as an example in which the proper usage amount of tap water, gas, and power in the plurality of measurement target kitchens A can be collectively managed. Of course, it may be a kitchen management system that manages the usage amount of any one or two of tap water, gas, and power as an appropriate usage amount by introducing a usage saving device. In this case, the server 3 provided in the management center B may manage one or two proper usage amounts of tap water, gas, and power in the plurality of measurement target kitchens A.
