<First Embodiment>
First, the overall configuration of the environmental test apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  The environmental test apparatus 1 is used in, for example, an evaluation process in a product quality test, a development process in a product development test, and the like.

  The environmental test apparatus 1 includes a test tank 10, a main controller 1 c, a sub controller 20, an operation indicator lamp 30, a barcode scanner 40, and a wireless router 50.

  The test tank 10 has an internal space 10v in which a plurality of samples are arranged. Although two samples Sa and Sb are shown in FIG. 1, other samples (for example, samples Sc, Sd, and Se: see FIG. 2) can be arranged in the internal space 10v.

  The main controller 1c includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 1c1, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 1c2, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 1c3, and the like.

  The sub-controller 20 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 201, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 202, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 203, and the like. In this embodiment, the sub-controller 20 is configured by an RS-485 / LAN converter, and is connected to the main controller 1c via the RS485 cable 5a so as to be communicable. The sub-controller 20 is communicably connected to the operation indicator lamp 30 and the barcode scanner 40 via the USB cable 5b, and is further communicably connected to the wireless router 50 via the LAN cable 5c.

  The operation indicator lamp 30 corresponds to each stage of “standby”, “under test”, “waiting for sample input (ie, placement in the internal space 10 v)” “waiting for sample removal (ie, taking out from the internal space 10 v)”. It is possible to light in a manner to perform, and the progress of the test of each sample is notified.

  The barcode scanner 40 includes a barcode (identification barcode) indicating identification information of each sample Sa to Se, a barcode (start barcode) indicating operation start information, and a barcode (end barcode) indicating operation end information. It is readable. The identification barcode is attached to each sample Sa to Se. The start barcode and the end barcode may be attached to any member constituting the environmental test apparatus 1 or a member outside the environmental test apparatus 1.

  The wireless router 50 manages a mobile phone possessed by a person in charge of each sample Sa to Se (for example, as shown in FIG. 1, a cell phone 60a held by a person in charge of managing the sample Sa and a sample Sb. A signal is transmitted to the cellular phone 60b) held by the person in charge to inform the progress of the test of the sample managed by each person in charge. The notification may be performed by sending an e-mail, outputting an image via a display, outputting a sound by an alarm, or the like.

  The ROM 202 of the sub-controller 20 stores test times (operating times) of the samples Sa to Se that can be arranged in the internal space 10v. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the ROM 202 performs tests for each of the samples Sa to Se such that the test time of the sample Sa is 3 hours, the test time of the sample Sb is 2 hours, and the test time of the sample Sc is 1 hour. Time (that is, information in which a sample and a test time are linked one to one) is stored.

  The ROM 1c2 of the main controller 1c stores test conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.) other than the test time.

  The CPU 1c1 of the main controller 1c sets the environment of the internal space 10v to a preset environment by controlling air conditioning equipment (not shown) such as a heater and a refrigerator based on a command from the sub-controller 20.

  Next, the contents of control executed by the main controller 1c and the sub-controller 20 when testing the samples Sa and Sb as shown in FIG. 3 in the environmental test apparatus 1 will be described.

  The samples Sa and Sb have the same test conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.), but the test start points are different from each other as shown in FIG. 3, and the test times are also different from each other as shown in FIG.

  First, before the samples Sa and Sb are inserted, the CPU 201 of the sub-controller 20 turns on the operation indicator lamp 30 in a manner corresponding to “standby” to notify that it is in a standby state, as shown in FIG. (S1).

  After S1, the barcode scanner 40 reads the identification barcode attached to the sample Sa (S2). Information on the identification barcode read by the barcode scanner 40 is received by the RAM 203 of the sub-controller 20.

  After S3, after the sample Sa is placed in the internal space 10v, the bar code scanner 40 reads the start bar code (S4). Information about the start barcode read by the barcode scanner 40 is received by the RAM 203 of the sub-controller 20. Here, the RAM 203 receives the timing at which the barcode scanner 40 reads the start barcode as the test start time (operation start time) of the sample Sa.

  After S4, the CPU 201 of the sub-controller 20 transmits a command for starting operation to the main controller 1c and starts counting the test time of the sample Sa (S5). After S5, the CPU 1c1 of the main controller 1c starts operation of the environmental test apparatus 1 by controlling the air conditioner (not shown) (S6). After S6, the CPU 201 of the sub-controller 20 turns on the operation indicator lamp 30 in a manner corresponding to “under test” and notifies that the test is being performed (S7).

  After S8, the CPU 201 of the sub-controller 20 turns on the operation indicator lamp 30 in a manner corresponding to “waiting for sample input” to notify that it is waiting for sample input (S9).

  After S9, after the sample Sb is placed in the internal space 10v, the barcode scanner 40 reads the start barcode (S10). Information about the start barcode read by the barcode scanner 40 is received by the RAM 203 of the sub-controller 20. Here, the RAM 203 receives the timing when the barcode scanner 40 reads the start barcode as the test start time of the sample Sb.

  After S10, the CPU 201 of the sub-controller 20 starts counting the test time of the sample Sb (S11), turns on the operation indicator lamp 30 in a mode corresponding to “under test”, and notifies that the test is being performed. (S12).

  After S12, the CPU 201 of the sub-controller 20 determines whether or not the test for the sample Sa has been completed (S13). Specifically, whether or not the test of the sample Sa is completed by the CPU 201 of the sub-controller 20 based on the test time of the sample Sa stored in the ROM 202 and the test start time of the sample Sa stored in the RAM 203. (That is, whether or not the test time of the sample Sa has passed since the test start time of the sample Sa).

  When it is determined that the test of the sample Sa has not ended (S13: NO), the CPU 201 of the sub-controller 20 repeats the determination process.

  When it is determined that the test of the sample Sa has ended (S13: YES), the CPU 201 of the sub-controller 20 transmits a signal to the mobile phone 60a to notify that the test of the sample Sa has ended (S14). Further, after S14, the CPU 201 of the sub-controller 20 turns on the operation indicator lamp 30 in a manner corresponding to “waiting for sample removal” to notify that it is waiting for sample removal (S15).

  After S15, after the sample Sa is taken out from the internal space 10v, the barcode scanner 40 reads the identification barcode attached to the sample Sa (S16), and further reads the end barcode (S17). Information on the end barcode read by the barcode scanner 40 is received by the RAM 203 of the sub-controller 20. Here, the RAM 203 receives the timing at which the barcode scanner 40 reads the end barcode as the test end time of the sample Sa.

  After S17, the CPU 201 of the sub-controller 20 turns on the operation indicator lamp 30 in a manner corresponding to “under test” to notify that the test is being performed (S18).

  After S18, the CPU 201 of the sub-controller 20 determines whether or not the test of the sample Sb is completed (S19). Specifically, whether or not the test of the sample Sb is completed by the CPU 201 of the sub-controller 20 based on the test time of the sample Sb stored in the ROM 202 and the test start time of the sample Sb stored in the RAM 203 (That is, whether or not the test time of the sample Sb has elapsed since the test start time of the sample Sb).

  When it is determined that the test of the sample Sb is not completed (S19: NO), the CPU 201 of the sub-controller 20 repeats the determination process.

  When it is determined that the test of the sample Sb is finished (S19: YES), the CPU 201 of the sub-controller 20 transmits a signal to the mobile phone 60b to notify that the test of the sample Sb is finished (S20). Further, after S20, the CPU 201 of the sub-controller 20 turns on the operation indicator lamp 30 in a manner corresponding to “waiting for sample removal” to notify that it is waiting for sample removal (S21).

  After S21, after the sample Sb is taken out from the internal space 10v, the barcode scanner 40 reads the identification barcode attached to the sample Sb (S22), and further reads the end barcode (S23). Information on the end barcode read by the barcode scanner 40 is received by the RAM 203 of the sub-controller 20. Here, the RAM 203 receives the timing at which the barcode scanner 40 reads the end barcode as the test end time of the sample Sb.

  After S23, the CPU 201 of the sub-controller 20 transmits a command for stopping the operation to the main controller 1c, and stops the operation of the environmental test apparatus 1 under the control of the CPU 1c1 of the main controller 1c (S24). After S24, the CPU 201 of the sub-controller 20 turns on the operation indicator lamp 30 in a mode corresponding to “standby” to notify that it is in a standby state (S25).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when a plurality of samples Sa and Sb are tested at the same time, the CPU 201 of the sub-controller 20 stores each sample Sa and Sb stored in the ROM 202 (storage means). Each sample is based on the test time, the identification information of each sample Sa, Sb received by the RAM 203 (identification information receiving means), and the test start time of each sample Sa, Sb received by the RAM 203 (test start time receiving means). The progress of the Sa and Sb tests (in this embodiment, the end of the test) is determined (see S13 and S19 in FIG. 5), signal transmission to the mobile phones 60a and 60b via the wireless router 50, and operation display By controlling the lamp 30, the test progress status of each sample Sa, Sb (the progress status of the operation for each of the plurality of articles) is reported (S14, S15 and S20 in FIG. 5). Reference S21). That is, the CPU 201 and the operation indicator lamp 30 of the sub-controller 20 correspond to the notification unit according to the present invention.
