Abstract
A temperature management apparatus for foodstuffs stored in a storage cabinet, wherein a temperature sensor is placed in the storage cabinet to detect an inside temperature of the cabinet thereby to calculate an ambient temperature of the foodstuffs based on the detected inside temperature, and wherein an internal temperature of the foodstuffs is presumed on a basis of the calculated ambient temperature. The temperature management apparatus is provided with a foodstuff temperature indicator for indicating the presumed internal temperature of the foodstuffs and an alarm device for issuing an alarm sound when the presumed internal temperature of the foodstuffs becomes lower than a lower limit temperature or higher than an upper limit temperature.
Claims6
A temperature management apparatus for managing the temperature of foodstuffs that are stored in a storage cabinet, the apparatus comprising:
- a temperature sensor for detecting an inside temperature of the storage cabinet;
- ambient temperature detection means for detecting and managing an ambient temperature of the foodstuffs that are stored in the storage cabinet on a basis of changes of the inside temperature detected by the temperature sensor upon each lapse of a predetermined time;
- foodstuff temperature presumption means for presuming an internal temperature of the foodstuffs on a basis of change of the detected ambient temperature;
- and
- indication means for indicating the presumed internal temperature of the foodstuffs.
A temperature management apparatus for managing the temperature of foodstuffs that are stored in a storage cabinet, the apparatus comprising:
- a temperature sensor for detecting and managing an inside temperature of the storage cabinet;
- foodstuff temperature presumption means for presuming an internal temperature of the foodstuffs on a basis of changes of the inside temperature detected by the temperature sensor upon each lapse of a predetermined time;
- and
- indication means for indicating the presumed internal temperature of the foodstuffs.
A temperature management apparatus for managing the temperature of foodstuffs that are stored in a storage cabinet of a refrigerator, the apparatus comprising:
- a temperature sensor for detecting an inside temperature of the storage cabinet;
- ambient temperature detection means for detecting and managing an ambient temperature of the foodstuffs that are stored in the storage cabinet on a basis of changes of the inside temperature detected by the temperature sensor upon each lapse of a predetermined time;
- foodstuff temperature presumption means for presuming an internal temperature of the foodstuffs on a basis of changes of the detected ambient temperature;
- and
- indication means for indicating the presumed internal temperature of the foodstuffs.
