Description
- The present invention relates to a control method of a thermostatic system and, more particularly, to a control method applicable to a water heater, wherein two electromagnetic valves are exploited to exactly control gas outflow at the gas outlet. Thereby, thermostatic control of the water heater can be achieved.
- As shown in Fig. 1, a gas
switch control system 10 is installed in a prior art water heater. The gasswitch control system 10 comprises agas inlet 11 for inputting gas, afirst gas outlet 12 for outputting gas to a main stove, and asecond gas outlet 13 for outputting gas to a pilot flame. Avalve 14 is arranged between thegas inlet 11 and thefirst gas outlet 12 and thesecond gas outlet 13. The action of thevalve 14 is controlled by awater pan 15. When cold water is input from a cold water inlet 16 into thewater pan 15, thevalve 14 will be pushed open so that gas can be transferred from thegas inlet 11 to thefirst gas outlet 12 and thesecond gas outlet 13. - A
switch middle seat 17 is installed between thefirst gas outlet 12 and thesecond gas outlet 13. Theswitch middle seat 17 comprises anupper lid 18 and abottom seat 19, which are assembled to form a hollow shell. A valve sheet 20 made of resilient material such as rubber is installed in theswitch middle seat 17. The valve sheet 20 is fixedly gripped between theupper lid 18 and thebottom seat 19. The valve sheet 20 is connected to a connectinglink 21. One end of the connectinglink 21 has avalve 22. Thevalve 22 can be used to control the open or close of thefirst gas outlet 12. - The valve sheet 20 partitions the
switch middle seat 17 into afirst gas room 23 and asecond gas room 24. A firstelectromagnetic valve 25 and a secondelectromagnetic valve 26 are installed on the side wall of thesecond gas room 24. The firstelectromagnetic valve 25 is normally open and situated between thefirst gas room 23 and thesecond gas room 24. The firstelectromagnetic valve 25 can be used to control the open or close state between thefirst gas room 23 and thesecond gas room 24. The secondelectromagnetic valve 26 is normally close and situated between thesecond gas room 24 and thesecond gas outlet 13. The secondelectromagnetic valve 26 can be used to control the open or close state between thesecond gas room 24 and thesecond gas outlet 13, i.e., the open or close of thesecond gas outlet 13. - When cold water is input from the cold water inlet 16 into the
water pan 15, thevalve 14 will be pushed open through thewater pan 15. Therefore, gas can be transferred from thegas inlet 11 into thefirst gas room 23 of theswitch middle seat 17. Gas can also be transferred via the firstelectromagnetic valve 25 at open state to thesecond gas room 24. At this time, the secondelectromagnetic valve 26 can be controlled to be open so that gas can be transferred to the pilot flame via thesecond gas outlet 13, hence facilitating action of ignition. When the pilot flame has been ignited, the firstelectromagnetic valve 25 can be controlled to be close so that gas in thesecond gas room 24 will be gradually burned out. At this time, the gas pressure in thefirst gas room 23 will be larger than that in thesecond gas room 24. Therefore, gas will push the valve sheet 20 to move toward the direction of thesecond gas room 24. Thevalve 22 will be jointly moved toward the direction of theswitch middle base 17 through the connectinglink 21. Thefirst gas outlet 12 can thus be controlled to be open so that gas can be output via thefirst gas outlet 12 to the main stove. - However, in the above gas
switch control system 10 of prior art, the firstelectromagnetic valve 25 and the secondelectromagnetic valve 26 can only make a simple on or off action. Gas outflow of thefirst gas outlet 12 output to the main stove can not be exactly controlled so that thermostatic control of the water heater can not be achieved. - The primary object of the present invention is to provide a control method of a thermostatic system, wherein two electromagnetic valves of a thermostatic system of a water heater can be controlled to perform the control of gas charge and discharge of a second gas room so as to push a valve sheet forwards or backwards. Thereby, gas outflow of a first gas outlet output to a main stove can be exactly controlled so that linearity of temperature change of the water heater is more apparent. Thermostatic control of the water heater can thus be achieved.
- To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a control method of a thermostatic system. When gas outflow output to a main stove is too large, the first electromagnetic valve is controlled to be open and the second electromagnetic valve is controlled to be close. Gas will be transferred from the first gas room to the second gas room. The control of gas charge of the second gas room is thus performed so as to decrease the open degree of the first gas outlet used to output gas to the main stove, hence decreasing gas outflow. When gas outflow output to the main stove is too small, the first electromagnetic valve is controlled to be close and the second electromagnetic valve is controlled to be open. Gas can not be transferred to the second gas room, and gas in the second gas room can be output via the second gas outlet used to output gas to a pilot flame. The control of gas discharge of the second gas room is thus performed so as to increase the open degree of the first gas outlet, hence increasing gas outflow.

- The present invention relates to a control method of a thermostatic system as shown in Fig. 2. The present invention is applicable to a
thermostatic system 50 of a general water heater. Thethermostatic system 50 is roughly like a gas switch control system of prior art. Thethermostatic system 50 comprises agas inlet 51 for inputting gas, afirst gas outlet 52 for outputting gas to a main stove, and asecond gas outlet 53 for outputting gas to a pilot flame. Avalve 54 is arranged between thegas inlet 51 and thefirst gas outlet 52 and thesecond gas outlet 53. The action of thevalve 54 is controlled by athimble 551 of awater pan 55. Thewater pan 55 has acold water inlet 56. When cold water is input from the cold water inlet 56 into thewater pan 55, thethimble 551 will be jointly moved so that thevalve 54 will be pushed open to let gas be transferred from thegas inlet 51 to thefirst gas outlet 52 and thesecond gas outlet 53. - A
switch middle seat 57 is installed between thefirst gas outlet 52 and thesecond gas outlet 53. Theswitch middle seat 57 comprises anupper lid 58 and abottom seat 59, which are assembled to form a hollow shell. Avalve sheet 60 made of resilient material such as rubber is installed in theswitch middle seat 57. Thevalve sheet 60 is fixedly gripped between theupper lid 58 and thebottom seat 59. Thevalve sheet 60 is connected to a connectinglink 61. One end of the connectinglink 61 has avalve 62. Thevalve 62 can be used to control the open or close and the gas flux of thefirst gas outlet 52. - The
valve sheet 60 partitions the switchmiddle seat 57 into afirst gas room 63 and asecond gas room 64. A firstelectromagnetic valve 65 and a secondelectromagnetic valve 66 are installed on the side wall of thesecond gas room 64. The firstelectromagnetic valve 65 is normally open and situated between thefirst gas room 63 and thesecond gas room 64. The firstelectromagnetic valve 65 can be used to control the open or close state between thefirst gas room 63 and thesecond gas room 64. The secondelectromagnetic valve 66 is normally close and situated between thesecond gas room 64 and thesecond gas outlet 53. The secondelectromagnetic valve 66 can be used to control the open or close state between thesecond gas room 64 and thesecond gas outlet 53, i.e., the open or close of thesecond gas outlet 53. - As shown in Fig. 3, when cold water is input from the
cold water inlet 56 into thewater pan 55, thevalve 54 will be pushed open through thethimble 551 of thewater pan 55. Therefore, gas can be transferred from thegas inlet 51 into thefirst gas room 63 of the switchmiddle seat 57. Gas can also be transferred via the firstelectromagnetic valve 65 at open state to thesecond gas room 64. At this time, the secondelectromagnetic valve 26 can be controlled to be open so that gas can be transferred to the pilot flame via thesecond gas outlet 53, hence facilitating action of ignition. - As shown in Fig. 4, when the pilot flame has been ignited, the first
electromagnetic valve 65 can be controlled to be close so that gas in thesecond gas room 64 will be gradually burned out. At this time, the gas pressure in thefirst gas room 63 will be larger than that in thesecond gas room 64. Therefore, gas will push thevalve sheet 60 to move toward the direction of thesecond gas room 64. Thevalve 62 will be jointly moved toward the direction of the switchmiddle base 57 through the connectinglink 61. Thefirst gas outlet 52 can thus be controlled to be open so that gas can be output via thefirst gas outlet 52 to the main stove. - The first
electromagnetic valve 65 and the secondelectromagnetic valve 66 can be properly controlled in the present invention so that they can not only make a simple on or off action. As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, when a water temperature sensor detects the temperature is too high or gas outflow output to a main stove is too large, the firstelectromagnetic valve 65 is controlled to be open and the second electromagnetic valve is controlled to be close. Gas can transferred via thefirst gas room 63 to thesecond gas room 64. The control of gas charge of thesecond gas room 65 is thus performed to increase the gas pressure in thesecond gas room 64 so that thevalve sheet 60 will be pushed to move toward the direction of thefirst gas room 63. Thevalve 62 will be jointly moved toward the direction of thefirst gas outlet 52 through the connectinglink 61 to decrease the open degree of thefirst gas outlet 52, hence decreasing gas outflow output to the main stove. When the water temperature sensor detects the temperature is too low (insufficient) or gas outflow output to the main stove is too small, the firstelectromagnetic valve 65 is controlled to be close and the secondelectromagnetic valve 66 is controlled to be open. Therefore, gas can not be transferred to thesecond gas room 64, and gas in thesecond gas room 64 can be output via thesecond gas outlet 53. The control of gas discharge of thesecond gas room 64 is thus performed to let the gas pressure in thesecond gas room 64 decrease so that the gas pressure in thefirst gas room 63 will be larger than that in thesecond gas room 64. Thevalve sheet 60 will be pushed to move toward the direction of thesecond gas room 64. Thevalve 62 will be jointly moved toward the opposite direction of thefirst gas outlet 52 through the connectinglink 61 to increase the open degree of the first gas outlet52, hence increasing gas outflow output to the main stove. When water is kept at a proper temperature, the firstelectromagnetic valve 65 and secondelectromagnetic valve 66 are controlled to be close. - To sum up, the control of gas charge and discharge of the
second gas room 64 can be performed by controlling the twoelectromagnetic valves valve sheet 66 can be pushed to move forwards or backwards so that gas outflow of thefirst gas outlet 52 output to the main stove can be exactly controlled. Thermostatic control of the water heater can thus be achieved. - Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the details thereof. Various substitutions and modifications have been suggested in the foregoing description, and others will occur to those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, all such substitutions and modifications are intended to be embraced within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
