Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
The present invention is an improvement over the prior art based on the discovery that there is little need to monitor flames simultaneously under a suspended structure that detects flames.
Fig. 1 is a block diagram for explaining an example of the structure of a combustion apparatus 1 according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the combustion apparatus 1 provided in the water heater apparatus includes a first flame combustion sensor FR1, a second flame combustion sensor FR2, a first switch SW1, a second switch SW2, a flame detection circuit IC, and a microprocessor.
The first flame combustion sensor FR1 and the second flame combustion sensor FR2 are sensors for detecting the state of flame. A sensor used in a generally known flame detector may be used. Preferably, the first flame combustion sensor FR1 and the second flame combustion sensor FR2 are not both used for detecting normal combustion, but one is used for detecting normal combustion and the other is used for detecting abnormal combustion. For example, the first flame combustion sensor FR1 is provided for detecting normal combustion, and the second flame combustion sensor FR2 is provided for detecting abnormal combustion. For example, the second flame combustion sensor FR2 is a low-number sensor for detecting a self-exhaust cycle.
The first switch SW1 and the second switch SW2 constitute a switching unit, the first switch SW1 is connected to the first flame combustion sensor FR1, and the second switch SW2 is connected to the second flame combustion sensor FR 2. The first switch SW1 and the second switch SW2 are not turned on or off at the same time, but turned on and off mutually exclusively, so that the connection of the flame detection circuit IC and the first flame combustion sensor FR1 and the connection of the flame detection circuit IC and the second flame combustion sensor FR2 are performed switchingly. In addition, if the switches SW1 and SW2 can be controlled by a signal from the microprocessor, the switches SW1 and SW2 may be semiconductor SW or mechanical SW such as a relay.
The flame detection circuit IC is connected to the first switch SW1 and the second switch SW2, is connected to the microprocessor of the combustion apparatus 1, and transmits a detection signal related to a detection result to the microprocessor after receiving the detection result output from the flame detection sensor connected via the first switch SW1 or the second switch SW 2. The flame detection circuit IC includes a voltage application circuit that applies a voltage to the flame sensor, and a detection circuit that processes a detection result of the flame sensor. Since a flame detection circuit used in a generally known flame detector can be used as the flame detection circuit IC, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
The combustion apparatus 1 further includes a filter for filtering a signal output from the flame detection circuit IC and outputting the filtered signal to the microprocessor, thereby ensuring the quality of the signal.
Next, a flame detection operation of the combustion apparatus will be described.
Since the first flame combustion sensor FR1 is used for detecting normal combustion and the second flame combustion sensor FR2 is used for detecting abnormal combustion, the detection of the first flame combustion sensor FR1 is related to gas leakage, and the detection of the second flame combustion sensor FR2 is merely for improving the accuracy of abnormal detection. That is, the detection of the first flame combustion sensor FR1 and the detection of the second flame combustion sensor FR2 are different in importance, and it is preferable to take more time to perform the detection of the first flame combustion sensor FR1 from the viewpoint of safety.
For the above reasons, the combustion apparatus 1 performs the following control: before the start of combustion, the first switch SW1 is always turned on, that is, the first flame combustion sensor FR1 is always connected to the flame detection circuit IC, so that the detection of the first flame combustion sensor FR1 is always performed; at the start of combustion, the first switch SW1 and the second switch SW2 are periodically switched on, so that the connection between the first flame combustion sensor FR1 and the flame detection circuit IC and the connection between the second flame combustion sensor FR2 and the flame detection circuit IC are periodically switched.
In view of FR1 for confirming normal combustion and FR2 for improving the abnormal state detection accuracy, it is preferable that the connection period of the flame detection circuit IC and the first flame detection sensor FR1 be longer than the connection period of the flame detection circuit IC and the second flame detection sensor FR 2. For example, the second flame detection sensor FR2 may be monitored for a short time, and the first flame detection sensor FR1 may be monitored for the rest of the time. In this case, for example, the second flame detection sensor FR2 may be monitored for 1 second every 30 seconds, and the first flame detection sensor FR1 may be monitored during the 30 seconds.
Further, if the second flame detection sensor FR2 detects an abnormal value, the second flame detection sensor FR2 may continue to monitor until the error determination time elapses. For example, the error determination time may be set to 10 seconds.
In the present embodiment, since the switching unit is provided to connect the plurality of flame detection sensors to the flame detection circuit in a switching manner, the plurality of flame detection sensors share the single flame detection circuit by the single switching unit, and the detection result is transmitted to the microprocessor of the combustion apparatus. Therefore, the number of flame detection circuits used can be reduced, the cost can be reduced, and the mounting area can be reduced. In addition, the cost can be further reduced by reducing the number of input ports of the microprocessor.
In addition, by shortening the connection time with the flame detection sensor for detecting abnormal combustion, it is possible to determine normal combustion for a long period of time, thereby further improving safety. Further, by continuing monitoring by the flame detection sensor when an abnormality is detected by the flame detection sensor that detects abnormal combustion, it is possible to reliably recognize an error from detection over a longer period of time.
In addition, in the present embodiment, two flame detection sensors are provided, but the present invention is not limited to this, and three or more flame detection sensors may be provided. In the present embodiment, the switching unit is implemented by the first switch SW1 and the second switch SW2, but is not limited to this, and may be implemented by another structure such as a single-pole double-throw switch. In the present embodiment, the combustion apparatus 1 is provided in the water heater apparatus, but is not limited thereto, and may be provided in other apparatuses related to combustion.
The above description is only for the specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily think of the changes or substitutions within the technical scope of the present invention, and all should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
