本発明は、容器内に収容した液体を加熱、保温し、器体外へ導出する電気湯沸かし器に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an electric water heater that heats and retains a liquid contained in a container and leads the liquid out of the container.

従来、この種の電気湯沸かし器の印加電圧と吐出量の関係は、図１１に示すように、いかなる状態においても電動ポンプを駆動する電源は所定の電圧を印加して、少し遅れて容器内の液体を出湯経路を通して一定の吐出量を得るものであった。   Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 11, the relationship between the applied voltage and the discharge amount of this type of electric water heater is as follows. In any state, the power source for driving the electric pump applies a predetermined voltage, and the liquid in the container is slightly delayed. A constant discharge amount was obtained through the hot water supply route.

以下、本発明の実施の形態について、図１〜図１０を参照しながら説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

（実施の形態１）
本発明の実施の形態１について図１、図２を参照しながら説明する。図１は本実施の形態の電気湯沸かし器の構成を説明する構成図である。図において、容器１に収容されている液体２は加熱手段５により加熱され出湯経路４と連通する出湯手段である電動ポンプ３により出湯経路４を通過し容器１外へ吐出される。電動ポンプ３は、操作手段８からの出湯操作により電源７を制御手段６で制御して電源ポンプ３を駆動する。この時の電圧と時間により、吐出量が決定される。 (Embodiment 1)
Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram illustrating the configuration of the electric water heater according to the present embodiment. In the figure, the liquid 2 contained in the container 1 is heated by the heating means 5 and is discharged out of the container 1 through the hot water path 4 by an electric pump 3 which is a hot water outlet means communicating with the hot water path 4. The electric pump 3 drives the power supply pump 3 by controlling the power supply 7 by the control means 6 by hot water operation from the operation means 8. The discharge amount is determined by the voltage and time at this time.

図２は本実施の形態のタイムチャートを示したものである。湯沸かし終了直後から所定時間ｔの間に出湯操作を行うと、制御手段６により電源７を制御し、通常出湯電圧Ｖ１（本実施の形態では５Ｖ）以上の始動電圧Ｖ２（本実施の形態では６Ｖ）を一定時間（本実施の形態では２秒）印加して、電動ポンプ３を駆動して出湯させる。以上のような構成であれば、始動電圧Ｖ２印加中に電動ポンプ３内の気泡が液体２と同時に排出され、湯沸かし終了直後の出湯時にも通常の吐出量より減少することなく、また通常出湯電圧Ｖ１は一定であるため安定した出湯性能が得られる。このとき始動電圧Ｖ２は気泡が確実に排出する電圧でなければならない。また始動電圧Ｖ２は液体が吐出するよりも早くに通常出湯電圧Ｖ１に変化しなければならない。本実施の形態は湯沸かし終了直後に限定して始動電圧Ｖ２を発生させているが湯沸かし中及び保温中でも同様の効果が得られる。   FIG. 2 shows a time chart of the present embodiment. When a hot water discharge operation is performed within a predetermined time t immediately after the end of boiling, the control means 6 controls the power supply 7 to start a voltage V2 (6 V in this embodiment) that is equal to or higher than the normal hot water voltage V1 (5 V in this embodiment). ) Is applied for a certain period of time (2 seconds in this embodiment), and the electric pump 3 is driven to discharge the hot water. With the above configuration, the bubbles in the electric pump 3 are discharged simultaneously with the liquid 2 while the starting voltage V2 is applied, and the normal discharge voltage is not reduced even when the hot water is discharged immediately after the completion of boiling. Since V1 is constant, stable tapping performance can be obtained. At this time, the starting voltage V2 must be a voltage at which bubbles are reliably discharged. The starting voltage V2 must change to the normal hot water voltage V1 earlier than the liquid is discharged.

図３は本実施の形態のタイムチャートを示したものである。通常の出湯操作では通常出湯電圧Ｖ３（本実施の形態では４Ｖ）以上の始動電圧Ｖ４（本実施の形態では５Ｖ）を一定時間（本実施の形態では２秒）印加する。湯沸かし終了直後から所定時間ｔの間に出湯操作を行うと、通常出湯電圧Ｖ５（本実施の形態では５．５Ｖ）以上の始動電圧Ｖ６（本実施の形態では６．５Ｖ）を２秒間印加し、電動ポンプ３を駆動して出湯させる。以上のような構成であれば、湯沸かし終了直後は始動電圧Ｖ６印加中に電動ポンプ３内の気泡が液体２と同時に排出され、湯沸かし終了直後の出湯時にも通常の吐出量より減少することなく安定した出湯性能が得られる。また常に始動電圧が通常出湯電圧より高いため出湯のレスポンスが早い効果も得られる。このとき始動電圧Ｖ６は気泡が確実に排出する電圧でなければならない。また始動電圧Ｖ４・Ｖ６は液体が吐出するよりも早くに通常出湯電圧Ｖ３・Ｖ５に変化しなければならない。本実施の形態は湯沸かし終了直後に限定して始動電圧Ｖ６を発生させているが湯沸かし中でも同様の効果が得られる。   FIG. 3 shows a time chart of the present embodiment. In a normal hot water operation, a starting voltage V4 (5 V in the present embodiment) equal to or higher than the normal hot water voltage V3 (4 V in the present embodiment) is applied for a certain time (2 seconds in the present embodiment). When a hot water discharge operation is performed for a predetermined time t immediately after the end of boiling, a starting voltage V6 (6.5 V in this embodiment) higher than the normal hot water voltage V5 (5.5 V in this embodiment) is applied for 2 seconds. Then, the electric pump 3 is driven to discharge the hot water. With the configuration as described above, bubbles in the electric pump 3 are discharged at the same time as the liquid 2 while the starting voltage V6 is being applied immediately after the completion of boiling, and stable without decreasing from the normal discharge amount even at the time of discharging immediately after the completion of boiling. The hot spring performance is obtained. Moreover, since the starting voltage is always higher than the normal hot water output voltage, the effect of quick hot water response can be obtained. At this time, the starting voltage V6 must be a voltage at which bubbles are reliably discharged. The starting voltages V4 and V6 must be changed to the normal hot water discharge voltages V3 and V5 earlier than the liquid is discharged.

When a hot water discharge operation is performed during a predetermined time t immediately after the end of boiling, the control means 6 controls the power source 7 to start a voltage V9 (7 V in this embodiment) that is equal to or higher than the normal hot water voltage V7 (5 V in this embodiment). ) Is applied for a certain time (2 seconds in the present embodiment), and thereafter, the starting voltage V8 (6 V in the present embodiment) is applied for a certain time, and the electric pump 3 is driven to discharge hot water. With the configuration as described above, the bubbles in the electric pump 3 are discharged simultaneously with the liquid 2 while the starting voltage V9 is being applied, and the normal discharge voltage is not reduced when the hot water is discharged immediately after the completion of boiling. Since V7 is constant, stable tapping performance can be obtained. At this time, the starting voltage V9 must be a voltage at which bubbles are reliably discharged. The starting voltage V9 must change to the normal hot water voltage V7 earlier than the liquid is discharged. In the present embodiment, the starting voltage V9 is generated only immediately after the completion of boiling, but the same effect can be obtained even when the hot water is discharged.

本発明の実施の形態８について図９を参照しながら説明する。なお、本実施の形態に示す電気湯沸かし器の主要構成は実施の形態１と同じであるため説明は省略する。 (Embodiment 8)
An eighth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, since the main structure of the electric water heater shown in this Embodiment is the same as Embodiment 1, description is abbreviate | omitted.

図９は本実施の形態のタイムチャートを示したものである。湯沸かし終了直後から所定時間の間に出湯操作を行うと制御手段６により電源７を制御し、通常出湯電圧Ｖ１８（本実施の形態では５Ｖ）以上の始動電圧Ｖ１９（本実施の形態では６Ｖ）を所定時間印加してその後電源停止時間ｓの後、通常出湯電圧Ｖ１８を印加し、電動ポンプ３を駆動することで出湯させる。これにより始動電圧Ｖ１９印加中の一定時間及び電源停止時間ｓ間で電動ポンプ３内の気泡が液体２と同時に排出され、湯沸かし終了直後の出湯時にも通常の吐出量より減少することなく、効率よく安定した出湯性能が得られる。また本実施の形態は湯沸かし中のポンプ動作時にでも同様の効果が得られる。また電源停止時間ｓの間は０Ｖでなく通常出湯電圧Ｖ１８以下でも同様の効果が得られる。   FIG. 9 shows a time chart of the present embodiment. When a hot water discharge operation is performed within a predetermined time immediately after the end of boiling, the control means 6 controls the power source 7 to generate a starting voltage V19 (6 V in this embodiment) that is equal to or higher than the normal hot water voltage V18 (5 V in this embodiment). After a predetermined time is applied and then the power supply stop time s, the normal hot water voltage V18 is applied and the electric pump 3 is driven to discharge the hot water. As a result, the bubbles in the electric pump 3 are discharged at the same time as the liquid 2 for a certain time during the start-up voltage V19 application and the power supply stop time s, and efficiently without decreasing below the normal discharge amount even when the hot water is discharged immediately after the completion of boiling. Stable tapping performance can be obtained. In addition, the present embodiment can obtain the same effect even when the pump is operating during boiling. Further, the same effect can be obtained even when the power supply stop time s is not 0 V and is not higher than the normal hot water voltage V18.

（実施の形態９）
本発明の実施の形態９について図１０を参照しながら説明する。なお、本実施の形態に示す電気湯沸かし器の主要構成は実施の形態１と同じであるため説明は省略する。 (Embodiment 9)
A ninth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, since the main structure of the electric water heater shown in this Embodiment is the same as Embodiment 1, description is abbreviate | omitted.

図１０は本実施の形態のタイムチャートを示したものである。湯沸かし終了直後から所定時間ｔの間に出湯操作を行うと制御手段６により電源７を制御し、通常出湯電圧Ｖ２０（本実施の形態では５Ｖ）以上の始動電圧Ｖ２１（本実施の形態では６Ｖ）を所定時間印加し、その後電源の停止時間ｓの後、調整時間内（本実施の形態では５秒）の間で１秒間に１Ｖ上昇させた電圧を順に印加し電動ポンプ３を駆動して出湯させる。これにより始動電圧Ｖ２１印加中の一定時間及び電源停止時間ｓの間で電動ポンプ３内の気泡が液体２と同時に排出され、湯沸かし終了直後の出湯時にも通常の吐出量より減少することなく、効率よく安定した出湯性能が得られる。なお後調整時間内５秒内の出湯電圧は任意に変更が可能である。   FIG. 10 shows a time chart of the present embodiment. When a hot water discharge operation is performed within a predetermined time t immediately after the end of boiling, the control means 6 controls the power source 7, and a starting voltage V21 (6V in this embodiment) equal to or higher than the normal hot water voltage V20 (5V in this embodiment). Is applied for a predetermined time, and then, after the power supply stop time s, a voltage increased by 1 V per second within the adjustment time (5 seconds in this embodiment) is sequentially applied to drive the electric pump 3 to discharge the hot water. Let As a result, the bubbles in the electric pump 3 are discharged simultaneously with the liquid 2 during a fixed time during the start-up voltage V21 application and the power supply stop time s, and the efficiency does not decrease even when the hot water is discharged immediately after the completion of boiling. Good and stable hot water performance can be obtained. In addition, the tapping voltage within 5 seconds within the post-adjustment time can be arbitrarily changed.

以上説明した全ての実施の形態では湯沸かし中のポンプ動作時にでも同様の効果が得られる。また電動ポンプの制御は電源の電流、周波数、機械的負荷により行っても同様の効果が得られる。また始動電圧は一般的な突入電流のようなものと異なり意図的に発生させているものである。   In all of the embodiments described above, the same effect can be obtained even when the pump is operating during boiling. The same effect can be obtained even if the electric pump is controlled by the power source current, frequency, and mechanical load. Unlike the general inrush current, the starting voltage is intentionally generated.

以上のように、本発明にかかる電気湯沸かし器は、湯沸かし中・沸騰中・沸騰直後・保温中のいずれの場合でも、吐出量の低下を抑制し、出湯性能を向上させることができるので、液体を加熱し、器体外へ導出する電気湯沸かし器に適用できる。   As described above, the electric water heater according to the present invention can suppress a decrease in the discharge amount and improve the hot water performance in any of the cases of boiling water, during boiling, immediately after boiling, and during heat retention. It can be applied to an electric water heater that is heated and led out of the body.
