Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an operation button configuration of a combustion device.
[0002]
[Prior art]
FIG. 2 shows a conventional combustion apparatus, and FIG. 3 shows an operation section and an electric board thereof.
[0003]
Burner 1 burns gas. There is a combustion chamber 2 for mixing exhaust gas generated by combustion with air. Below the burner 1, a convection fan 4 for sending out the hot air 3 is provided. A warm air outlet 5 is attached in front of the convection fan 4. A convection filter 8 for taking in convection air 7 is provided on the rear surface of the case 6. The panel 12 is provided with an electric board 13 for controlling the operation function and an electric board 14 for controlling the operation, and is linked to the controller 11 which controls each function.
[0004]
Next, the operation will be described. When the operation button 15 incorporated in the panel 12 is pressed, the operation switch 16 is turned on, a signal is sent to the controller 11, the ignition operation is started, and the combustion lamp 17 emits the first light. The first light is generally green. When a predetermined sequence has elapsed and the gas enters stable combustion in the burner 1, the combustion lamp 17 changes to the second light. The second light is generally red. At this time, the operation button 15 having a milky white color is diffused by the light of the combustion lamp 17, becomes pale light, and notifies that the combustion state has been started. Further, the high-temperature combustion exhaust gas 9 generated from the burner 1 and the convection air 7a that has passed through the convection filter 8 in the combustion air passage 10 of the combustion chamber 2 are mixed to have an appropriate temperature. The hot air 3 is sent out from the outlet 5 to convectively heat the room. Further, if necessary, by operating the switches (for example, 18) incorporated in the electrical component board 14, it is possible to change the combustion amount or perform a timer operation.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In recent years, there has been an increasing number of devices that also have a display unit with a glowing operation button for improving the operability and visibility of the device, and the size thereof has also been increasing. However, the currently common two-color emission lamps of green and red have a weak luminance of green and a strong red. Therefore, in order to provide an appropriate diffusion over the entire surface of the driving button having a milky white color, a constantly lit red light is used. Emphasis was placed on increasing the distance between the combustion lamp and the operation button. Therefore, when the combustion lamp emits green light, the color of the operation button is light and it is difficult to identify. In addition, the space for mounting the electric board becomes unnecessarily large, and as shown in FIG. 3, the space is secured by separating the electric board 13 for controlling the operation from the electric board 14 for controlling the operation. Was also expensive.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a double structure of a driving button and a lamp button and a driving button to reduce the overall height. By providing a dark milky white lamp to cover the burning lamp, and furthermore, by touching a slightly milky white driving button with the lamp white, the strong red light of the burning lamp is diffused uniformly by the milky dark lamp white, Furthermore, it can be diffused in two steps on the surface of the slightly white milky driving button to emit pale light. Further, in the case of green light having a low brightness of the combustion lamp, the distance between the combustion lamp and the operation button is small, and the milky white color of the operation button is also thin, so that there is no problem in identification.
[0007]
In addition, since the operation button section has a dual structure of a lamp and an operation button, and has a low overall height, the electric board for controlling the operation and the electric board for controlling the operation can be integrated, and the installation space can be reduced. The overall size can be reduced.
[0008]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
According to the present invention, a lamp lamp is provided so as to cover a combustion lamp that emits two colors, and an operation button that contacts the lamp lamp to form a double structure is provided. Can be spread in two stages, and as a result, the height of the lamp and the driving button can be reduced.
[0009]
Further, as described in claim 2, the lampwaq is a milky white dark resin molded product, and the red light having a high brightness of the combustion lamp is uniformly diffused by the lampwag, and the operation button of the resin molded product which is milky and thinner than the lampwaq. It can emit faint light on the surface.
[0010]
In addition, the green light, which has a low brightness from the combustion lamp, diffuses lightly in the lamp area, but the distance between the driving button and the adjacent driving button is short, and the milky white color of the driving button is easy to identify.
[0011]
【Example】
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Since the sectional view of the combustion equipment and the operation thereof are the same as those of the conventional art, the description will be given using the same drawing (FIG. 2).
[0012]
(Example 1)
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a driving operation unit and an electric board according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0013]
When the operation button 15 incorporated in the panel 12 is pressed, the operation button 16 is brought into contact with the operation button 15, and the operation switch 16 is turned on by a convex portion 19 a provided on the outer peripheral portion of the lamp box 19 forming a double structure, and a signal is sent to the controller 11. Is sent to start the ignition operation, and the combustion lamp 17 glows green. Further, after a predetermined sequence has elapsed, when the gas enters the stable combustion in the burner 1, the combustion lamp 17 changes to red to notify that the equipment will continue to burn. The following operation is the same as that of the conventional example, and the description is omitted. At this time, since the green light and the red light are diffused in two steps on the surface of the lamp box 19 and the surface of the operation button 15, respectively, the distance between the combustion lamp 17 and the operation button 15 is reduced even with the large operation button 15. The other switches 18 necessary for operating the device can be mounted on the same electrical board. Also, the installation space can be reduced.
[0014]
(Example 2)
Since the lampwax 19 has a dark milky white like a Duracon, for example, the green light having a low brightness of the combustion lamp 17 during the ignition operation is diffused faintly by the lampwag 19, but the operation button 15 is translucent, the milky white is thin, and the lampwag is light. Since it is close to 19 and its distance is small, it can be easily identified. In addition, the red light, which has high luminance, is diffused uniformly on the surface because the milky white color of the lamp box 19 is dark, and diffuses in two steps even on the surface of the adjacent operation lamp 15, so that the red light keeps appropriate lightness. And, since it is clear, it can be easily confirmed that the device is in the operating state.
[0015]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, since the lamp lamp and the operation button have a double structure, the light of the combustion lamp can be diffused in two stages, so that the height of the electric board to which the combustion lamp is attached and the operation button are reduced. Is what you can do.
[0016]
Further, by changing the milky white density of the lamp and the operation button, even in a two-color emission type combustion lamp having different luminances, uniform and appropriate diffusion can be maintained and identification can be easily performed.
[0017]
Further, as a synergistic effect of each of the above, the electrical board to which the combustion lamp is attached and the electrical board to which other switches and lamps required for operating the device can be integrated, and the installation space can be reduced. . Also, the cost is reduced.
