Description

  The present invention relates to a combustion apparatus for informing a method of canceling a shutoff by a shutoff device that shuts off the supply of combustion gas when a seismic intensity fluctuation above a certain level is detected, and a program for causing a portable information processing terminal to function so as to perform the notice .

  Detached houses and apartment houses are supplied with combustion gas from a gas company through a shut-off device that shuts off the supply of combustion gas when a seismic intensity of a certain level or more is detected. The shutoff of the combustion gas by the shutoff device can be released by operating a release button provided on the shutoff device.

  Usually, the shut-off device is integrated with a gas meter (so-called microcomputer meter) having a function of measuring the amount of combustion gas used and a function of checking gas leakage. When the release button is operated, the gas meter confirms whether or not there is a gas leak, and when it is confirmed that there is no gas leak, the shutoff of the combustion gas by the shutoff device is released.

  If the shut-off device is activated and the combustion gas supply is shut off due to the occurrence of an earthquake, the bath water heater or gas stove will not ignite, but the user must confirm that the cause is the shut-off of the combustion gas by the shut-off device. Often I do not know. Moreover, even if the cause of the interruption is known, there are few users who are familiar with the release method of the interruption. The gas meter is associated with a tag describing the release method, but it is difficult to see at night.

  Therefore, a seismic sensor was installed to detect the shaking caused by the earthquake, and after the earthquake occurred, the ignition operation was performed according to the predetermined operation of the water heater remote control by the user and the use of the hot water supply function, but the ignition could not be performed (or the ignition In the event of a misfire), a notification system has been devised that informs the user that the combustion gas shutoff by the gas meter is the cause of failure to ignite and the method of releasing the shutoff is displayed on the remote control display etc. (See Patent Document 1).

A seismic intensity acquisition unit, a correction unit that corrects the seismic intensity of the measurement point to the seismic intensity at the installation location of the shut-off device 5, and if the corrected seismic intensity is greater than or equal to the threshold, the bath water heater 10 is forcibly ignited An instruction unit for instructing whether or not to fail is notified, and a method of releasing the cutoff of the combustion gas by the cutoff device 5 when receiving a response of an ignition failure from the bath water heater 10 in response to the indication It functions as a notification unit.

  Next, in the bath water heater system 8, an operation for notifying the release method of the shutoff when the shutoff device 5 of the gas meter 4 shuts off the supply of the combustion gas due to an earthquake shake will be described.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an outline of a process for informing the cancellation of the interruption. First, the portable information processing terminal 30 that operates based on the bath water heater app identifies the installation location of the gas meter 4 (the shut-off device 5) (step S101, installation location information acquisition unit). The installation location is specified as follows.

(1) Method of letting user specify home position For example, when the user is near the place where the bath water heater 10 is installed (for example, in the living room of the user's home), the portable water heater app is in operation. Ask the information processing terminal 30 to perform an input operation to indicate that you are currently at home, and use the GPS function to obtain the latitude and longitude of the position of the portable information processing terminal 30 at that time. Is specified as the installation location of the gas meter 4 (shut-off device 5).

(2) A method for identifying the user's home (home = installation location of the bath water heater ≒ installation location of the shut-off device 5) from the user's behavior pattern For example, using the GPS function provided in the portable information processing terminal 30, A history of the position of the portable information processing terminal 30 is recorded, and the history is analyzed to identify the position of the user's home (where the blocking device 5 is installed).

  The history analysis of the position of the portable information processing terminal 30 is performed under the following conditions, for example.

・ The same posture continues for a certain period of time,
・ At night,
-The portable information processing terminal 30 is being charged.
・ Return to the same place every day,
・ It is a place that is in the time of automatic bath operation.
-A place where you can communicate with the bath water heater 10
From the GPS information when it is estimated that the user is at home, the location of the home (≈the location of the blocking device 5) is specified.
In some cases, for example, the GPS information cannot be acquired while the portable information processing terminal 30 is being charged. For example, this is the case when the charging stand is in the center of an apartment (away from the window). As described above, when the GPS position information cannot be acquired under the above-described conditions, the GPS position information immediately before the above-described conditions (for example, the position information of the entrance of the apartment) may be used.

  In addition, you may identify the installation place of the interruption | blocking apparatus 5 by making a user input an address etc.

  Next, the portable information processing terminal 30 operating with the bath water heater app recognizes the occurrence of an earthquake by receiving an earthquake early warning or the like (step S102). Note that the application program that receives the earthquake early warning may be a separate application program. Alternatively, a predetermined Web site 7 that provides earthquake information may be accessed to detect whether an earthquake has occurred at the installation location of the blocking device 5.

  The portable information processing terminal 30 that has detected the occurrence of an earthquake by receiving an earthquake early warning or the like accesses a predetermined Web site 7 that provides earthquake information, and calculates the seismic intensity at a measurement point near the installation location of the cutoff device 5. (Step S103, seismic intensity acquisition unit).

  Next, the seismic intensity at the measurement point is corrected to obtain the seismic intensity at the installation location of the shut-off device 5 (correction unit). Specifically, the predetermined Web site 7 is accessed, and the ground amplification factor of the measurement point and the installation location of the blocking device 5 is acquired (step S104). For example, the ground amplification factor can be obtained from the website of “Earthquake Hazard Station” operated by the National Institute for Disaster Prevention Science and Technology. The ground amplification factor is a coefficient indicating the rate at which the shaking is amplified by the weakness of the ground near the ground surface. The larger the numerical value, the larger the shaking.

  Furthermore, the information regarding the seismic isolation performance which the structure (the outer wall of a building, an external structure, a condominium, etc.) holding the interruption | blocking apparatus 5 has is acquired (step S105). For example, when a gas meter 4 (blocking device 5) is installed beside each entrance in a seismically isolated apartment, the seismic isolation performance (shake reduction rate, etc.) of the apartment is acquired. Seismic isolation performance information is input from the user.

The seismic intensity at the measuring point is corrected based on the ground amplification factor at the measuring point and the place where the breaking device 5 is installed, and the seismic isolation performance of the structure holding the breaking device 5, and the seismic intensity at the place where the breaking device 5 is installed is corrected. Obtained (step S106). For example, the seismic intensity at the measurement point is K, the ground amplification factor at the measurement point is W1, the ground amplification factor at the installation location of the shut-off device 5 is W2, and the seismic isolation performance (shock reduction rate) at the installation location of the shut-off device 5 is R. Then
Seismic intensity at the location of the shut-off device 5 = K x W2 ÷ W1 x R
Can be obtained as If the seismic isolation performance is unknown, it is not necessary to multiply R (or R may be 1).

  In addition, when the installation place of the interruption | blocking apparatus 5 exists in the intermediate point of several measurement points, the seismic intensity of the installation place of the interruption | blocking apparatus 5 is calculated | required based on the seismic intensity of several measurement points. For example, the seismic intensity at the installation location of the shut-off device 5 is obtained based on the seismic intensity at each of a plurality of measurement points, and the average value thereof is used as the seismic intensity at the installation location of the shut-off device 5.

  In this way, the seismic intensity at the measurement point is corrected based on the ground amplification factor, etc., and the seismic intensity at the installation location of the shut-off device 5 is estimated. It is not necessary to provide.

  When the seismic intensity at the installation location of the shut-off device 5 does not exceed a predetermined threshold value (step S107; No), this process is terminated. When the seismic intensity of the installation location of the shut-off device 5 exceeds a predetermined threshold (step S107; Yes), the portable information processing terminal 30 performs a small amount of hot water pouring operation on the bathtub 2 with respect to the bath water heater 10. At that time, it is determined whether the burner 11 has normally ignited or failed to ignite, and an instruction is given to respond the determination result (step S108, instruction unit). The threshold value (the default value of the threshold value when the correction of FIG. 4 is performed) is preferably matched with the seismic intensity for determining whether or not the cutoff device 5 shuts off the supply of the combustion gas.

The bath water heater 10 that has received the above instruction performs an operation of pouring water into the bathtub 2, and at this time, it is determined whether or not the ignition of the burner 11 has been normally performed and the ignition has failed. Specifically, the water passage is switched so that the water supply flows into the bathtub 2 through the heat exchanger 12 and the burner 11 is ignited. Here, when ignition is not performed or when misfire occurs immediately after ignition, ignition operation is performed again, and when ignition is not performed normally even after performing a predetermined number of times (for example, three times), ignition failure is determined. The bath water heater 10 immediately terminates the pouring operation when it can be determined whether or not ignition has failed.
That is, even if the gas is shut off, the gas pipe may be ignited because of pressure, but the gas confined in the gas pipe is used up to determine whether or not the gas pipe is shut off. Normally, when an ignition error occurs, an error code is recorded for repair. However, an error that occurs in order to confirm the presence or absence of such interruption need not be recorded. Further, it may be temporarily recorded, and an interruption error may be determined using an ignition error (error code). The error at this time is preferably erased after a predetermined time.

  If the portable information processing terminal 30 receives a determination result indicating that the ignition has failed from the bath water heater 10 (step S109; Yes), the portable information processing terminal 30 is notified of a method for releasing the cutoff of the combustion gas by the cutoff device 5. (Step S110, notification unit), this process is terminated. The notification is performed by display on the display unit 36, voice guidance by the voice output unit 41, or the like.

  When the determination result indicating that the ignition is successful is received from the bath water heater 10 (step S109; No), the present process is terminated without performing the above notification.

  Next, correction of the threshold value used in the determination in step S107 will be described.

  FIG. 4 shows a flow of threshold value correction processing used in the determination in step S107. When the seismic intensity of the installation location of the shut-off device 5 exceeds the threshold value (step S201; Yes), if the determination result of successful ignition is received from the bath water heater 10 (step S202; Yes), the seismic intensity of the current earthquake is shut Since the device 5 did not shut off the combustion gas, the threshold used in the determination in step S107 is corrected to the seismic intensity of the cutoff device 5 in the current earthquake (step S205, first threshold correction unit).

  For example, if the threshold before correction is 5 and the seismic intensity of this earthquake is 5.2, the threshold is corrected to 5.2. As a result, the next time an earthquake with a seismic intensity of less than 5.2 (at this seismic intensity, the shut-off device 5 does not shut off the combustion gas) occurs No in step S107, the instruction in step S108 is not performed, and the bath 2 is entered. The confirmation of ignition by pouring hot water will not be wasted.

  When the determination result of the ignition failure is received from the bath water heater 10 (step S202; No), the threshold value is not corrected.

  If the seismic intensity at the installation location of the shut-off device 5 in this earthquake is equal to or less than the threshold (step S201; No), the instruction in step S108 in FIG. If the ignition failure notification is received from the bath water heater 10 before the passage (step S203; Yes) (step S204; Yes), it can be estimated that the shut-off device 5 shuts off the combustion gas at the seismic intensity of this earthquake. The threshold value used in the determination in step S107 is corrected to the seismic intensity of the cutoff device 5 in the current earthquake (step S205, second threshold value correcting unit).

  Also in this case, the portable information processing terminal 30 may notify the combustion gas cutoff cancellation method by the cutoff device 5.

  The bath water heater 10 is ignited by an ignition operation based on a user's operation, for example, an ignition operation when the user tries to take out hot water by opening the tap tap 3, or at a reserved time of the bath. When ignition fails when starting the pouring operation into the bath, the portable information processing terminal 30 is notified that the ignition has failed.

  For example, if the threshold before correction is 5 and the seismic intensity of the current earthquake is 4.5, the instruction in step S108 is not performed. However, if ignition fails due to the subsequent ignition operation for hot water or pouring into the bathtub 2 by the user's operation, it can be determined that the shutoff device 5 shuts off the supply of the combustion gas at a seismic intensity of 4.5. Therefore, the threshold used in the determination in step S107 is corrected to 4.5, which is the current seismic intensity. As a result, the next time an earthquake with seismic intensity 4.5 occurs, the instruction in step S108 is output, and the presence or absence of interruption is determined early and automatically. The user can be notified.

  Thus, the threshold value is optimized by performing the threshold value correction process. In addition, if the threshold value correction process of FIG. 4 is performed, the seismic isolation performance will be reflected in the threshold before long without correcting the seismic intensity based on the seismic isolation performance of the structure holding the blocking device 5.

  By the way, for seismic isolation performance (shock mitigation rate, etc.), general two-dimensional seismic isolation using seismic isolation rubber, etc., and three-dimensional seismic isolation with dampers to reduce vertical motion (UD), etc. There is. For example, in the case of a condominium located in the Tokyo metropolitan area, if an earthquake directly below the Tokyo metropolitan area occurs (the mainstay earthquake is pitch), the seismic intensity is not reduced by general two-dimensional seismic isolation, but an earthquake that has occurred far away (rolling occurs) For example, even in an earthquake with a seismic intensity of 6, the seismic isolation is such that it can only be felt at a seismic intensity of about 4. Therefore, when a predetermined Web site 7 is accessed, three-dimensional data (NS, EW, UD) is acquired, and pitching (vertical motion, U -D) and roll (left-right movement, NS, EW) may be performed separately.

  The seismic isolation performance is not reflected in the threshold value, but may be reflected in the seismic isolation performance (shake reduction rate) R, or the seismic isolation type (two-dimensional) (Seismic isolation, 3D isolation) may be entered.

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to that shown in the embodiment, and there are changes and additions within the scope of the present invention. Are also included in the present invention.

  The bath water heater 10 may be configured to perform the processing of FIGS. 3 and 4 performed by the portable information processing terminal 30 in the embodiment. Specifically, the control board 14 of the bath water heater 10 may be provided with a function of accessing the Internet website 7 and execute the processes of FIGS. Moreover, you may make it obtain the information of the installation place of the interruption | blocking apparatus 5 by the input from a dedicated remote control, or the input by the operator at the time of installation.

  That is, when the hot water heater 10 is installed location information acquisition unit, seismic intensity acquisition unit, correction unit, and the corrected seismic intensity is greater than or equal to the threshold value, the combustion unit of its own device is forced to perform an ignition operation and ignition fails. A determination unit that determines whether or not, and a function as a notification unit that notifies a method of releasing the block of the combustion gas by the blocking device when the determination result of the determination unit is an ignition failure. Further, a first threshold value correction unit that corrects the threshold value to be increased when the determination result of the determination unit is successful ignition, combustion that is performed based on a user operation after the earthquake when the corrected seismic intensity is less than the threshold value If ignition fails in the ignition operation of the part, a function as a second threshold value correcting part for correcting the threshold value to be lowered is provided.

  In embodiment, although the bath water heater 10 was illustrated as a combustion apparatus, a combustion apparatus is not limited to this. In the embodiment, the success or failure of the ignition was confirmed by pouring a small amount of water into the bathtub 2, but it is sufficient that the success or failure of the ignition can be confirmed in an operation mode in which the combustion unit can be burned without depending on the user's operation. For example, in a combustion apparatus that performs a heating function, the combustion unit may be ignited in a heating operation, and the success or failure of the ignition may be confirmed.

  In the embodiment, the portable information processing terminal 30 has been illustrated as an example of functioning as a remote controller of the bath water heater 10 by the bath water heater app. However, the program of the present invention is the process of FIG. 3 or FIG. 3 and FIG. Can be performed, and the function as a remote controller of the bath water heater 10 may not be performed.
