Abstract

Provided is a display apparatus that is capable of displaying a relationship between sand properties measured as time series. The display apparatus displays (i) a relationship between pieces of measured first sand property data and pieces of measured second sand property data, obtained in a first predetermined period, together with first and second reference ranges set for the first and second sand properties and (ii) a relationship between pieces of measured third sand property data and pieces of measured fourth sand property data, obtained in a second predetermined period, together with third and fourth reference ranges set for the third and fourth sand properties.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A display apparatus configured to display sand properties of foundry sand, comprising:
at least one processor configured to carry out
a first graph display data preparing process of
(i) acquiring, from a storage device which stores therein pieces of measured data obtained by measuring each of sand properties as a time series and dates and times at which the respective pieces of measured data were obtained, pieces of measured first sand property data which were obtained in a first predetermined period and pieces of measured second sand property data which were obtained in the first predetermined period, and
(ii) preparing first graph display data for use in displaying a first graph together with a first reference range and a second reference range, the first graph being a scatter diagram showing a relationship between the pieces of measured first sand property data and the pieces of measured second sand property data, the first reference range having been set for a first sand property, the second reference range having been set for a second sand property,
a second graph display data preparing process of
(a) acquiring, from the storage device, pieces of measured third sand property data which were obtained in a second predetermined period and pieces of measured fourth sand property data which were obtained in the second predetermined period, and
(b) preparing second graph display data for use in displaying a second graph together with a third reference range and a fourth reference range, the second graph being a scatter diagram showing a relationship between the pieces of measured third sand property data and the pieces of measured fourth sand property data, the third reference range having been set for a third sand property, the fourth reference range having been set for a fourth sand property, and

a remedial measure assistance information preparing process of preparing remedial measure assistance information which assists a user in taking a remedial measure with respect to foundry sand so that the measured first sand property data is within the first reference range, the measured second sand property data is within the second reference range, the measured third sand property data is within the third reference range, and the measured fourth sand property data is within the fourth reference range; and
a display section which includes a display area and which is configured to display the first graph and the second graph in the display area on the basis of the first graph display data and the second graph display data,
a combination of the measured first sand property data and the measured second sand property data being a first combination which consists of two kinds of measured data obtained by measuring respective two sand properties selected from moisture content, compactability (CB), air permeability, and compressive strength, and
a combination of the measured third sand property data and the measured fourth sand property data being a second combination which consists of two kinds of measured data obtained by measuring respective two sand properties selected from moisture content, CB, air permeability, and compressive strength and which is different from the first combination,
the at least one processor being configured to prepare, in the remedial measure assistance information preparing process, the remedial measure assistance information as display data to be displayed in the display area, and
the display section being configured to display the remedial measure assistance information in the display area in which the first graph and the second graph are displayed.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the measured first sand property data is measured data obtained by measuring moisture content;
the measured second sand property data is measured data obtained by measuring compactability;
the measured third sand property data is measured data obtained by measuring air permeability; and
the measured fourth sand property data is measured data obtained by measuring compressive strength.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the at least one processor is further configured to carry out
a first acceptable rate display data preparing process of preparing first acceptable rate display data for use in displaying a first acceptable rate for each of a plurality of the first predetermined periods, the first acceptable rate being a probability that a value of the measured first sand property data is within the first reference range and a value of the measured second sand property data is within the second reference range, and
a second acceptable rate display data preparing process of preparing second acceptable rate display data for use in displaying a second acceptable rate for each of a plurality of the second predetermined periods, the second acceptable rate being a probability that a value of the measured third sand property data is within the third reference range and a value of the measured fourth sand property data is within the fourth reference range; and
the display section is configured to further display the first acceptable rate display data and the second acceptable rate display data in the display area in which the first graph and the second graph are displayed.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the at least one processor is configured to further carry out
a first unacceptable rate display data preparing process of preparing first unacceptable rate display data for use in displaying a first unacceptable rate for each of a plurality of the first predetermined periods, the first unacceptable rate being a probability that a value of the measured first sand property data is outside the first reference range or a value of the measured second sand property data is outside the second reference range, and
a second unacceptable rate display data preparing process of preparing second unacceptable rate display data for use in displaying a second unacceptable rate for each of a plurality of the second predetermined periods, the second unacceptable rate being a probability that a value of the measured third sand property data is outside the third reference range or a value of the measured fourth sand property data is outside the fourth reference range; and
wherein the display section is configured to further display the first unacceptable rate display data and the second unacceptable rate display data in the display area in which the first graph and the second graph are displayed.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a first storage section configured to pre-store the first reference range and the second reference range therein; and
a second storage section configured to pre-store the third reference range and the fourth reference range therein.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a storage section configured to pre-store the remedial measure assistance information therein.
