きを電池の種別によらず抑制することができる。According to a first aspect of the present invention, a power supply comprising a light emitting element for display and a battery for supplying power to a load and a current flowing through the light emitting element for display are variable. The power supply includes a current control unit, a voltage detection unit that detects a voltage of the power supply, and a control unit that controls the current control unit and the load. The control unit determines a type of a battery of the power supply based on an output of the voltage detection unit. It has a determination means, when the power is turned on, the load is temporarily turned on and off, and the load is turned on,
Stores both detected voltages by the voltage detection unit in each off state, determines the type of battery of the power supply based on the difference between the two detected voltages, and displays light for display regardless of whether the load is on or off according to the type of battery. The first control signal and the second control signal corresponding to the on and off of the load are determined so that the current flowing through the element becomes substantially constant, and the second control signal is used when the display light emitting element is turned on. When the load is turned on while the display light emitting element is turned on, the current control means is controlled based on the first control signal at substantially the same time, and the load is turned off while the display light emitting element is turned on. At the same time, the current control means is controlled on the basis of the second control signal at substantially the same time, and the current flowing through the display light-emitting element regardless of whether the load is on or off according to the type of the battery. A first control signal and a second control signal corresponding to the on and off of the load are determined so as to be substantially constant, and when the load is turned on while the display light emitting element is turned on, the current control means is almost simultaneously operated. When the load is turned off while the display light emitting element is turned on, the current control means is controlled almost at the same time.
Even if the power supply voltage fluctuates due to turning off, the current flowing through the light emitting element for display is kept almost constant, so the flicker of the light emitting element when the voltage of the power supply changes rapidly due to the load is independent of the type of battery. Can be suppressed.

FIG. 3 shows that the manganese battery has a larger internal resistance r than the alkaline battery, and that the smaller the battery voltage, the larger the difference in the internal resistance r when compared at the same battery voltage. That is, it can be seen that the voltage difference (Va-Vb) is different between a case where a manganese battery is used as a battery and a case where an alkaline battery is used. FIG. 4 shows the relationship between the battery voltage and the voltage difference (Va-Vb). In the present embodiment, the threshold voltage of the voltage difference is set to 0.4 V based on the relationship shown in FIG. Therefore, if the voltage of the battery is 3 V or less, the type of the battery can be determined by comparing the voltage difference (Va-Vb) with the threshold value. Here, a determination unit for determining the type of the battery is provided in the control unit 3.

さが一定になるようにLED駆動回路7を制御する。After the control section 3 determines the type of battery by the above-described operation, the current flowing through the light emitting diode 6 according to the type of battery regardless of the opening / closing (on / off) of the temperature control solenoid valve 5 is determined. Is a first pulse signal (first control signal) for controlling the LED drive circuit 7 when the load 5 is on, and a second pulse for controlling the LED drive circuit 7 when the load 5 is off so that The duty of each signal (second control signal) is determined. Thereafter, similarly to the conventional configuration of FIG. 6, the control unit 3 controls the LED drive circuit 7 so that the light emitting diode 6 is turned on by the second control signal. When energizing (turning on) the LED 5, the LED drive circuit 7 is controlled by the first pulse signal almost simultaneously with turning on the temperature adjusting solenoid valve 5, and the energization to the temperature adjusting solenoid valve 5 is stopped. When the control is performed (off control), the LED drive circuit 7 is controlled by the second pulse signal almost simultaneously with the off control of the temperature control solenoid valve 5. That is, the LED driving circuit 7 is controlled so that the flicker of the light emitting diode 6 is reduced and the brightness becomes constant.

A first control signal and a second control signal corresponding to the on and off of the load are determined so that the current flowing through the display light emitting element becomes substantially constant regardless of whether the display is on or off. When the light is turned on, the current control means is controlled based on the second control signal, and when the load is turned on while the light emitting element for display is turned on, the current control means is controlled almost simultaneously based on the first control signal, and the display is controlled. Light emitting element At the same time when the load is turned off, the current control means is controlled based on the second control signal almost simultaneously, so that the current flowing through the display light emitting element substantially depends on the type of the battery regardless of whether the load is on or off. A first control signal and a second control signal corresponding to each of the on and off of the load are determined so as to be constant, and the current control means controls the load almost simultaneously when the load is turned on while the display light emitting element is turned on. When the load is turned off while the display light emitting element is turned on, the current control means is controlled at substantially the same time, so that the current flowing through the display light emitting element is substantially constant even if the power supply voltage fluctuates due to turning on and off of the load. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the flicker of the light emitting element when the voltage of the power supply changes rapidly due to the load, regardless of the type of the battery.
