In such a conventional electric water heater, there is a problem that when the heat retention temperature is set to be high in an area having a low atmospheric pressure such as an altitude, the boiling point may be lowered and the boiling may be continued. is there. That is, since the heat retention control after boiling is performed based on the temperature value, when the boiling point is lower than the set heat retention temperature, even if heating by the heat retention heater does not reach the set heat retention temperature, the boiling is continued. As described above, since the heat retention temperature is fixedly set by the resistance ratio of the resistor, it cannot be set arbitrarily according to the current boiling point, and therefore, it is not possible to provide high-temperature hot water close to the boiling point. There was a problem.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the heat retaining processing operation of the control means 17 in this embodiment. After the power supply is turned on, in step 100, the heater 4 and the heat retaining heater 5 are energized to start heating, and a predetermined temperature rise time, for example, a time Δtn required to rise by 0.5 ° C. is measured. At 101, it is checked whether or not it is equal to or longer than the previous predetermined temperature rise time Δtn-1. If Δtn is smaller than Δtn-1, it is determined that the temperature has not risen, and the routine returns to step 100. If Δtn is equal to or larger than Δtn−1, the process proceeds to step 102 to check whether the measurement has been performed four times, and returns to step 100 until the measurement is performed four times. When the measurement is performed up to four times, the process proceeds to step 103, and Δt2 to Δt4

FIG. 5 is a characteristic diagram showing the relationship between elapsed time and temperature in this embodiment. FIG. 5A shows a state when the amount of water is small, and FIG. 5B shows a state when the amount of water is large. In the figure, the solid line is the temperature data value output by the temperature sensor 6,
The dashed line indicates the actual water temperature. Heater 4 and heat retaining heater 5
When the water at normal temperature is heated to the boil by energizing the water, a temperature difference occurs between the water temperature and the temperature indicated by the temperature sensor 6, as shown in FIG. As shown in (1), it is remarkable when the amount of water is small. When the water boils, the boiling detection based on the temperature change rate can follow relatively quickly, but the value of the water temperature itself is detected lower. Therefore, the temperature data at the time when boiling is detected is not immediately used as the boiling temperature. In order to solve this problem, in the present embodiment, the temperature difference between the temperature given by the temperature sensor 6 and the actual water temperature is determined by energizing the heat retaining heater 5 for a predetermined time following the detection of boiling, regardless of the amount of water. The temperature difference is stably kept within the predetermined temperature difference Δθ5. It is needless to say that the predetermined time for energizing the heat retaining means for the stabilizing heating can be set to an appropriate value in consideration of the volume of the target container and the volume of the water actually contained.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the temperature value indicated by the temperature sensor can be stabilized to indicate the water temperature by the stabilization heating in which the heating is performed by energizing the heat retaining heater for a predetermined time after the detection of boiling. Also, by taking in the temperature value at the time when the predetermined time has passed, the taken-in temperature value is very close to the actual boiling point temperature in the current environment, and the temperature is kept based on that temperature. There is no occurrence of a situation in which the boiling is continued without keeping the heat retention temperature at the actual boiling point temperature, and the heat retention close to the boiling point temperature is also possible.
