- step S404 when the temperature T of the container storage unit 14 has not reached the target cooling temperature T2 (N in S410), the processing from step S404 is repeated.
- the temperature T of the container storage unit 14 is determined whether or not the temperature T of the container storage unit 14 has become higher than the recooling reference temperature T4 (S414). If the temperature T is equal to or lower than the recooling reference temperature T4, the cooling stop state is maintained (N in S414), and if the temperature T becomes higher than the recooling reference temperature T4, the cooling process in step S402 and lower is resumed (in S414). Y ⁇ S402). In this manner, the beverage container cooled in the cup holder 10 is kept cold until the beverage container is extracted from the container storage portion 14 and the waiting time t1 has elapsed.
- the container storage portion temperature gradient ⁇ T is not equal to or lower than the cooling reference temperature gradient ⁇ in step S110 of FIG. 5, that is, the container storage portion temperature gradient ⁇ T is larger than the cooling reference temperature gradient ⁇ and is higher than the heating reference temperature gradient ⁇ . If it is smaller, neither heating nor cooling is performed (N in S110). This is because when the temperature change of the container storage unit 14 (container storage unit temperature gradient ⁇ T) is very small, it may be considered that the user desires storage at room temperature, and the ambient temperature of the passenger compartment, etc. This is to avoid unintentional heating and cooling (malfunction) due to minute changes. In this case, since none of the LEDs 70, 72, 74 is lit, the user recognizes that neither heating nor cooling (warming / cooling) processing is performed manually or automatically.
- the process immediately shifts to the manual mode (S202 to S226). That is, the heating process or the cooling process is executed according to the mode selected by the mode switch 54 regardless of the temperature T of the container storage unit 14 and the container storage unit temperature gradient ⁇ T. This is to prioritize user requests.
- heating / cooling is determined based on the container storage portion temperature gradient ⁇ T calculated from the temperature T of the container storage portion 14 detected by the thermistor 26.
- the beverage container stored in the container storage unit 14 can be automatically heated / cooled and kept warm / cold. Therefore, every time the user uses the cup holder 10, the heating / cooling process is automatically performed without operating the main switch 52 or the mode changeover switch 54, so that the user's convenience is improved.
- the determination of heating / cooling is performed only with the container storage portion temperature gradient ⁇ T, the determination of heating / cooling can be performed with high accuracy without being affected by fluctuations in the external temperature (vehicle compartment and outside air temperature). .
- the container storage portion temperature gradient ⁇ T is larger than the cooling reference temperature gradient ⁇ and smaller than the heating reference temperature gradient ⁇ ( ⁇ ⁇ T ⁇ ), neither heating nor cooling is performed. It can be used when the user wants to maintain room temperature. Further, it is prevented that the heating or cooling process is started due to malfunction due to an outside air temperature or a minute temperature change in the passenger compartment.
- the thermistor 26 is embedded in the convex portion 30 on the bottom surface side of the container storage portion 14, it cannot be visually recognized from the outside, and the design of the cup holder 10 is excellent.
- the cup holder 10 since the first LED 70 is turned on during the heat treatment and the second LED 72 is turned on during the cooling treatment, the user can easily recognize that the heat treatment and the cooling treatment are being performed.
- the first LED 70 and the second LED 72 are turned on only during the heating / cooling process.
- the first LED 70 and the second LED 72 are blinked during the heating / cooling process, and the target heating temperature or the target cooling temperature is reached.
- the first LED 70 and the second LED 72 may be turned on afterwards (during heat insulation / cold treatment). By controlling in this way, it is possible to make the user recognize the difference in state.
- control is performed to keep the heat and cool even in the manual mode.
- control is simply performed only for heating and cooling, and the heating and cooling are stopped only when the target heating temperature T1 and the target cooling temperature T2 are reached. good.
- the thermistor 26 is used as the temperature detecting means for detecting the temperature T of the container housing portion 14, it is not limited to this as long as the temperature can be detected.
- the container detection switch 24 is used to detect the container housing state with respect to the container housing section 14, but sensors such as an optical sensor may be used. However, a switch is more preferable from the viewpoint of suppressing the use of sensors.
- the drink holder (cup, can, bottle, etc.) is stored in the cup holder, but it is not limited to a drink container as long as the container is heated and cooled.
- the present invention can also be applied to a case where a plurality of cup holders 10 are provided.
