Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for positive securing intended to control functions of safety around a burner, for example in a boiler or water heater.
  • Burners require safety devices to avoid on the one hand that the flame remains absent from the burner, this which prohibits the functioning of the thermal system and, on the other hand, that if the flame goes out, the gas continues to be diffused by the burner.
  • the present invention intends to remedy these disadvantages of presenting an electronic device flame ignition on a burner, detection of said flame and gas intake control in the burner, whose consumption is so low that it can be supplied by electric batteries.
  • the device which is the subject of the invention includes a positive safety electronic assembly, for lighting and controlling the flame of a burner.
  • the device allows the ignition of a burner main using an ignition burner. He commands ignition of the main burner only when the flame is present at the ignition burner.
  • Electronic assembly powered by batteries, sparks, checks presence of flame and positively feeds a solenoid valve which allows the admission of gas to the burner main. This assembly applies to the burner ignition with non-permanent ignition burner.
  • the invention firstly relates to a device for positive burner safety for flame ignition, flame detection and gas inlet control characterized in that it comprises a means of admission of gas which lets gas pass to a burner only when a voltage difference between its terminals is higher than the supply voltage, and in that it has a power supply circuit suitable for apply between the terminals of the gas inlet means a higher voltage the output voltage of the source power supply, so that a possible malfunction of said supply circuit prevents the gas passage through the gas inlet means.
  • any circuit failure supply causes the voltage across the terminals to drop the means of gas admission below the voltage power supply and therefore the voltage which is suitable for its opening.
  • the gas inlet is therefore protected against failure or short circuit in the supply circuit.
  • the device according to the present invention comprises means chimney backflow detection device suitable for opening the supply circuit of the gas inlet means during detection of a backflow, the difference in voltages between the terminals of the gas inlet means being, when of the closure of the detection means, less than the opening voltage of the gas inlet means.
  • the tension between the electrodes are used both to light a flame, producing a spark, and detecting the presence of flame.
  • a flame ionizes the material between the electrodes and that this material ionized behaves electrically like a diode, i.e. that it allows the passage of electrons only in a direction.
  • the signal leaving the control means is adapted to reduce the frequency of the oscillator when the signal coming out of the comparator is representative of the presence of a flame between said two electrodes.
  • the outgoing signal from the control means is adapted to reduce the output voltage of the oscillator when the signal leaving the comparator is representative of the presence of a flame between said two electrodes.
  • the electricity consumption of the device is very reduced since the ignition phase, which is the largest consumer of energy, is very short and then the operation of the device serves to test the operation of a heating system.
  • the circuit power supply includes a switching power supply current regulation, which provides an opening current a gas intake means. Thanks to these provisions, the energy required to control the intake means of gas is low enough that a battery can power it for several months, in operation normal.
  • a power source of electronic circuits is made up of electric batteries.
  • the invention also relates to a heating means, water heater or boiler, for example, characterized in that it includes a device as briefly described above.
  • FIG. 1 shows a thermal installation 1, comprising a gas inlet 2, a fluid inlet 3, a fluid outlet 4 and a burner 5 connected to the inlet of gas 2 and thermally connected to a fluid circuit 6 from the fluid inlet 3 to the fluid outlet 4.
  • An electronic circuit 7 is supplied by a power supply 8, is connected to a means of flame presence detection 11 placed near the output of an ignition burner 14, to an ignition means of flame 9 placed at the outlet of the ignition burner 14, at a gas inlet means 25 placed between the gas inlet 2 and the burner 5 and to a draw-off switch 13.
  • the thermal installation 1 is, for example, consisting of a water heater or boiler, of types known.
  • the burner 5 is suitable for mixing air with gas from gas inlet 2, via gas intake means 25, to ensure good combustion of the mixture thus formed and to evacuate the gases burned by a chimney 12.
  • the burner 5 is of the type known.
  • Main burner 5 is lit by a burner ignition 14 whose flame is lit by the means flame ignition 9 and on which the presence of a flame is detected by the flame detection means 11.
  • the fluid for example water, which circulates between the fluid inlet 3, where it is at a given temperature, and the fluid outlet 4, where it was heated by the flame of the burner 5, then runs through a circuit which depends on thermal installation 1.
  • the gas inlet 2 is either connected to a tank of gas, or connected to a gas distribution network.
  • the electronic circuit 7 is presented, according to several embodiments in FIGS. 2, 3 and 5.
  • the power supply 8 preferably comprises an electric battery or an electric accumulator. However, it can possibly be supplemented by the electrical sector.
  • the flame presence detection means 11 placed near the outlet of the ignition burner 14 is adapted to emit a signal representative of the presence or the absence of a flame at the burner outlet 5.
  • the flame ignition means 9 placed at the burner outlet ignition 14 is suitable for lighting a flame at the outlet of the burner 5.
  • the gas inlet means 25 placed between the gas inlet and the burner 5 is suitable either to leave pass gas from gas inlet 2 to the burner 5, when open, or to prohibit this traffic, when closed.
  • the drawing switch 13 is controlled by the water flow in circuit 6, according to techniques known which are not detailed here.
  • the electronic circuit 7, which will now be described with reference to Figures 2, 3 and 5, controls the means flame ignition 9 and a gas inlet means 10 as a function of the signal leaving the detection means of flame 11.
  • the switching power supplies 24 and 27 provide voltages higher than the voltage of the voltage source. In the event of a fault, the solenoid valve 25 cannot therefore be accidentally ordered.
  • drawing switch at the top of the figure 2, represents a means of energizing the circuit Figure 2. It controls a drawing switch 13 (figure 1) which makes the ignition request.
  • FIGs 3 and 4 relate to an installation thermal where the main burner 5 is directly lit by the ignition means 9 and the flame on this burner is controlled by the flame detection means 11.
  • circuit breaker 30 comprising two TR3 and TR4 transistors, associated resistors and a fuse F1, is connected to an input of the power supply 24.
  • the circuit breaker 30 provides, together with a capacity C20 of the window oscillator comparator 23, the locking the device when the burner is not on before C20 capacity is charged up to the first predetermined value of the comparator oscillator 23, the system can only be unlocked by stopping the drawing.
  • a power authorization circuit maximum 31 consisting of an operational amplifier IC2-e, receives the same signal as the comparator oscillator 23 and outputs a signal to the power supply to current regulated switching 27 whose diagram is simplified in Figure 3.
  • the simplification of the switching power supply 27, shown in Figure 3 corresponds to a variant of electronic diagram of the power presented in figure 2.
  • This variant has the advantage of being able to be connected to the mains.
  • the electronic circuit 7 presented opposite the figure 5 is specifically adapted to the installation thermal 1 presented with reference to FIG. 6.
  • Figure 6 shows a third type thermal installation incorporating a device according to the present invention, in which, in comparison with Figure 1, two solenoid valves 42 and 43 (presented in FIG. 5) replace the solenoid valve 25, and in which an electronic circuit 7, as presented in FIG. 5, controls said solenoid valves 42 and 43, depending on the electrical signals and switch positions corresponding to backflow protection, on request ignition or draw, and the ignition electrode.
  • circuit IC2-c TR50 is used, 51, 61, D61, or another similar circuit for order the second solenoid valve or supply the current for the large valve.
  • a comparator IC2-c which detects the passage of the signal flame at the voltage characteristic of a presence of flame and authorizes the operation of the second booster.
  • the second booster (simplified in diagram 2) can be set to a fixed current or be controlled by a regulation system (see order of Vréf1 on diagram 1).
  • the power supply circuit comprising the two switching power supplies 24 and 27 is suitable for applying between the terminals of the intake means of gas consisting of the solenoid valve 25, a voltage higher than the output voltage of the source power supply, so that a possible malfunction of said supply circuit prevents the gas passage through the gas inlet means.
