It is known that the stored wastewater is heated to forcibly evaporate and discarded (for example, see Patent Document 1). Also, in this type of evaporator, a temperature sensor is provided at a predetermined location on the bottom of the evaporating dish, and when the temperature at the same location exceeds a predetermined value, the energization to the code heater is stopped to prevent so-called emptying. ing.
Here, in general, the code heater is arranged in a meandering manner with a certain interval over substantially the entire bottom surface of the evaporating dish, and the temperature sensor is provided at a position near the end of the bottom surface.
JP 2001-343182 A

上記従来構造では、蒸発皿に水が無い状態でコードヒータに通電された場合、蒸発皿の底面のうちの中央部では熱が籠もった状態となって、端部側よりは昇温速度が大きく、したがって温度センサが配された端部側が通電遮断温度に達するまでに、中央部が極めて高温となるおそれがあった。
本発明は上記のような事情に基づいて完成されたものであって、その目的は、蒸発皿が局部的に高温となることを防止するところにある。
In the above conventional structure, when the cord heater is energized with no water in the evaporating dish, the center of the bottom surface of the evaporating dish is in a state of heat buildup, and the rate of temperature rise is higher than the end side. Therefore, there is a possibility that the central portion becomes extremely hot before the end portion where the temperature sensor is arranged reaches the energization cutoff temperature.
The present invention has been completed based on the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to prevent the evaporating dish from being locally heated.

求項1の発明は、除霜水等の排水を溜める蒸発皿の底面の外面には、線状のヒータが間隔を開けて並んで配線される一方、前記底面の内面の所定箇所には、同箇所付近の温度を検知するサーモスタット感温筒が押し付けられて装着され、前記ヒータへ通電して貯留された前記排水を加熱することにより蒸発させ、前記サーモスタット感温筒による検知温度に基づいて前記ヒータへの通電を制御するようにした冷却貯蔵庫の排水蒸発装置において、前記蒸発皿の前記底面の外面における前記サーモスタット感温筒の配設箇所付近では、他の箇所よりも前記ヒータが密に配線されており、かつ、前記蒸発皿の前記底面の少なくとも一部には、他の箇所よりも高位となるように上り勾配となった傾斜面が形成され、この傾斜面の内面における上部側の位置には、前記サーモスタット感温筒が、その長さ方向の一端側が他端側よりも高い位置に来る斜め姿勢で装着されている構成としたところに特徴を有する。 Invention Motomeko 1, on the outer surface of the bottom of the evaporation pan for storing the waste water such as defrosted water, while the linear heater is wired in line with an interval, a predetermined portion of the inner surface of the bottom surface The thermostat temperature sensing cylinder for detecting the temperature in the vicinity of the same location is pressed and attached, and the waste water stored by energizing the heater is heated to evaporate, based on the temperature detected by the thermostat temperature sensing cylinder. In the drainage evaporation apparatus of the cooling storage that controls the energization of the heater, the heater is more densely arranged in the vicinity of the location where the thermostat temperature sensing cylinder is provided on the outer surface of the bottom surface of the evaporating dish than in other locations. It is wired, and the at least a portion of the bottom surface of the evaporation dish, inclined surfaces became upslope so that high than other portions are formed, upper part of the inner surface of the inclined surface The position, the thermostat temperature sensing tube is characterized in was configured to one end of the length direction are attached in an oblique posture to come to a position higher than the other end.

請求項2の発明は、請求項1に記載のものにおいて、前記蒸発皿の前記底面の外面における前記サーモスタット感温筒の配設箇所付近以外の領域では、同領域の中央部に比べて端部の方が前記ヒータが密に配線されているところに特徴を有する。 End of the invention of claim 2, wherein the one described in claim 1, in a region other than the vicinity of distribution設箇plant the thermostat temperature sensing tube in the outer surface of the bottom surface of the front Symbol evaporating dish, in comparison to the central portion of the region The part is characterized in that the heater is densely wired.

<請求項1の発明>
サーモスタット感温筒の検知温度が所定値に達したら、ヒータへの通電が遮断される。蒸発皿に水が無い状態でヒータに通電された場合、感温筒の配設箇所付近ではヒータが密に配線されているから昇温速度を相対的に高くでき、他の箇所の昇温速度は、感温筒の配設箇所付近のそれと比べると、低いかせいぜい同程度に留められる。そして、早期に高温となる箇所が所定温度に達したところで、ヒータへの通電が遮断されるのであるから、蒸発皿の温度は全域にわたって感温筒の配設箇所付近の温度よりも低いかせいぜい同程度に留められる。
<Invention of Claim 1>
When the detected temperature of the thermostat temperature sensing cylinder reaches a predetermined value, the power supply to the heater is cut off. When the heater is energized with no water in the evaporating dish, the heater is densely wired in the vicinity of the location where the temperature sensing tube is placed, so the temperature rise rate can be relatively high, and the temperature rise rate at other locations Compared with that in the vicinity of the location of the temperature sensing cylinder , it is kept at the same level as low. Then, since the heater is de-energized when the place where the temperature becomes high at an early stage reaches the predetermined temperature, the temperature of the evaporating dish is lower than the temperature near the place where the temperature sensing cylinder is provided over the entire area. It is kept at the same level.

また、蒸発皿に水が貯留された状態において、ヒータで加熱されることにより水の蒸発が進んで水位が低下すると、感温筒が配設された傾斜面の上部位置が初めに昇温され、その検知によりヒータへの通電が遮断されるのであるから、それより下位の部分で過昇温することが確実に防止される。
<請求項の発明>
感温筒の配設箇所付近以外の領域でも、熱が籠もりやすい中央部において端部側よりもヒータを粗く配線したから、同領域でもほぼ均等に温度上昇し、部分的な過昇温が防止される。
Further, when water is stored in the evaporating dish and the water level is lowered by heating with the heater and the water level is lowered, the upper position of the inclined surface provided with the temperature sensing cylinder is first heated. Since the energization to the heater is cut off by the detection, it is reliably prevented that the temperature is excessively raised in the lower part.
<Invention of Claim 2 >
Even in areas other than the vicinity of the location where the temperature sensing tube is located, the heaters are coarsely wired in the central part where heat is easily trapped, so that the temperature rises almost evenly in the same area, resulting in partial overheating. Is prevented.

It can be received by the evaporating dish unit 40.
A steam passage 35 is formed on the back wall 10 </ b> A to the side of the drainage channel 33 described above from the lower surface to the upper surface.

蒸発皿ユニット40は、図2に示すように、蒸発皿41がケース42内に収容され、上面に蓋板43が被せられた構造となっている。これらの蒸発皿41、ケース42及び蓋板43は、ともにステンレス鋼板等の金属板製である。
ケース42は、上面並びに前後両面が開口された少し深めの箱状に形成され、冷蔵庫本体10の奥行よりも少し短い長さ寸法と、同冷蔵庫本体10の横幅の数分の一の幅寸法を有している。なお、ケース42の底面における前端側の所定領域には切欠部45が形成されている。また、左右の側板46の上縁には、外向きに直角曲げされたフランジ47が形成されている。
As shown in FIG. 2, the evaporating dish unit 40 has a structure in which an evaporating dish 41 is accommodated in a case 42 and a cover plate 43 is covered on the upper surface. The evaporating dish 41, the case 42, and the cover plate 43 are all made of a metal plate such as a stainless steel plate.

Have. A notch 45 is formed in a predetermined region on the front end side of the bottom surface of the case 42. Further, a flange 47 bent outward at a right angle is formed on the upper edges of the left and right side plates 46.

蒸発皿41は角皿形状であって、ケース42の全長の2/3程度の長さ寸法と、同ケース42の幅よりも少し小さい幅寸法を有している。蒸発皿41の底面50は、図3及び図4にも示すように、手前側の約1/4の前部領域51と、残りの約3/4の後部領域52とに分けられている。蒸発皿41内は後縁側が最も深く、ケース42の深さの2/3程度の深さを有しており、底面50の後部領域52は、前方に向けて小角度(1〜2°)の上り勾配に形成されている。一方、前部領域51は、上記の後部領域52から続いて15°程度の角度をなす上り勾配に形成され、さらにその前端の所定領域は、75°程度の急傾斜の上り勾配に形成されている。この急斜面部51Aの上縁は、後面板53の上縁と同じ高さに達しており、したがってこの急斜面部51Aは前面板を兼ねている。
蒸発皿41の前端面51A、後面板54及び左右の側面板55の上縁には、外向きのフランジ56が形成されている。このうち左右の側面板55のフランジ56は、その外方突出端が、下向きと外向きに二度直角曲げされ、上記したケース42のフランジ47上に重ねられる取付板57が形成されている。
The evaporating dish 41 has a square dish shape, and has a length dimension of about 2/3 of the entire length of the case 42 and a width dimension slightly smaller than the width of the case 42. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the bottom surface 50 of the evaporating dish 41 is divided into a front region 51 of about 1/4 on the near side and a rear region 52 of the remaining about 3/4. The inside of the evaporating dish 41 has the deepest rear edge side, and has a depth of about 2/3 of the depth of the case 42, and the rear region 52 of the bottom surface 50 has a small angle (1 to 2 °) toward the front. It is formed in the up slope. On the other hand, the front region 51 is formed with an upward slope that forms an angle of about 15 ° following the rear region 52, and the predetermined region at the front end thereof is formed with a steep upward slope of about 75 °. Yes. The upper edge of the steep slope portion 51A reaches the same height as the upper edge of the rear plate 53. Therefore, the steep slope portion 51A also serves as a front plate.
An outward flange 56 is formed on the upper edge of the front end surface 51 </ b> A, the rear surface plate 54, and the left and right side plates 55 of the evaporating dish 41. Of these, the flanges 56 of the left and right side plates 55 are bent at right angles twice downward and outward to form an attachment plate 57 that overlaps the flange 47 of the case 42 described above.

さて、蒸発皿41の底面50の裏面(外面)には、コードヒータからなる蒸発皿ヒータ60がほぼ全面にわたって貼り付けられている。蒸発皿ヒータ60は1本の連続したものが配線されるが、図4に示すように、後部領域52(厳密には前部領域51における後部領域52に隣接した一部を含む)では、蒸発皿ヒータ60は、蒸発皿41の幅方向(同図の上下方向)に沿ってジグザグ状に配線されている。ただし、各ヒータ線61間のピッチは、幅方向の中央部が最大で、両端に向かうに従って次第に小さくなっている。
(中央部の)ピッチa>(中間部の)ピッチb>(端部の)ピッチc
端部のピッチcは、中央部のピッチaの1/3程度である。
Now, on the back surface (outer surface) of the bottom surface 50 of the evaporating dish 41, an evaporating dish heater 60 made of a code heater is affixed over almost the entire surface. Although one evaporating dish heater 60 is wired, as shown in FIG. 4, in the rear region 52 (strictly, including a part of the front region 51 adjacent to the rear region 52), evaporation is performed. The dish heater 60 is wired in a zigzag shape along the width direction of the evaporating dish 41 (vertical direction in the figure). However, the pitch between the heater wires 61 is maximum at the central portion in the width direction and gradually decreases toward both ends.
(Center) pitch a> (intermediate) pitch b> (end) pitch c
The pitch c at the end is about 1/3 of the pitch a at the center.

一方、前部領域51(厳密には上記の隣接領域を除く)では、蒸発皿ヒータ60は、蒸発皿41の長さ方向に沿ってジグザグ状に配線されている。蒸発皿ヒータ60は、急斜面部51Aに配された1本のヒータ線61Aを除いた6本のヒータ線61が等間隔に配線され、そのピッチdは、上記した後部領域52側の最小ピッチである端部のピッチcとほぼ同じとされている。なお、前側の2本のヒータ線間のピッチは、等間隔のピッチdよりも大きくなっている。
蒸発皿ヒータ60は上記のように配線されて、アルミ箔(図示せず)によって貼り付けられるようになっている。また、蒸発皿ヒータ60のリード線62は、冷蔵庫本体10の壁面内等を通って機械室17内の電装箱(図示せず)に装備された制御装置に接続されている。

In the evaporating dish heater 60, six heater wires 61 excluding one heater wire 61A arranged on the steep slope portion 51A are wired at equal intervals, and the pitch d is the minimum pitch on the rear region 52 side described above. It is almost the same as the pitch c at a certain end. The pitch between the two heater wires on the front side is larger than the equally spaced pitch d.
The evaporating dish heater 60 is wired as described above, and is attached by aluminum foil (not shown). Further, the lead wire 62 of the evaporating dish heater 60 is connected to a control device provided in an electrical box (not shown) in the machine room 17 through the wall surface of the refrigerator body 10 or the like.

蒸発皿41における前部領域51側の底面50の表面(内面)には、温度センサであるサーモスタット感温筒65(以下、単に感温筒65という)が、取付金具66で押さえられて装着されている。詳細には感温筒65は、図4に示すように、蒸発皿41の幅の中央部から少し一側に寄った位置で、かつ前側から3本目のヒータ線61Bの真表に対応する位置において、同ヒータ線61Bに沿うような姿勢で底面50の表面に密着して装着されている。感温筒65は、動作温度が例えば「115℃」に設定され、感温筒65の装着位置の温度が動作温度(115℃)になったことを検知したところでオフ信号を出すようになっている。感温筒65の信号線(図示せず)は、電装箱内の制御装置に接続されていて、感温筒65からのオフ信号を受けたところで、蒸発皿ヒータ60への通電が遮断されるようになっている。
なお、蒸発皿ヒータ60の途中位置、例えば一番手前のヒータ線61Aの途中に温度ヒューズを介設するとよい。

On both the left and right sides, between the flanges 47 and 70 of the case 42 and the cover plate 43 with the attachment plate 57 of the evaporating dish 41 interposed therebetween, a plurality of places are fixed by fasteners 73 such as screws. A front cover 75 (see FIG. 1) is attached to the front opening. As described above, the evaporating dish unit 40 is assembled.

冷蔵庫本体10の底面には、前後方向を向いた左右一対のレール77が取り付けられており、上記した蒸発皿ユニット40は、左右のフランジ47を対応するレール77に載せつつ前面から押し込まれ、その後縁が冷蔵庫本体10の後面に達する位置まで押し込まれたところで固定される。このとき蒸発皿ユニット40は、蓋板43が冷蔵庫本体10の底面にほぼ密着し、蓋板43の後部側に設けられた排水孔68と蒸気抜き孔67とが、冷蔵庫本体10の背面壁10Aに形成された排水路33と蒸気通路35の下面開口にそれぞれ整合されるようになっている。   A pair of left and right rails 77 facing in the front-rear direction are attached to the bottom surface of the refrigerator body 10, and the evaporating dish unit 40 described above is pushed in from the front side while placing the left and right flanges 47 on the corresponding rails 77. It is fixed when the edge is pushed in until it reaches the rear surface of the refrigerator main body 10. At this time, in the evaporating dish unit 40, the lid plate 43 is in close contact with the bottom surface of the refrigerator main body 10, and the drainage holes 68 and the steam vent holes 67 provided on the rear side of the lid plate 43 include the rear wall 10 </ b> A of the refrigerator main body 10. The drainage passage 33 and the steam passage 35 formed in the bottom are respectively aligned with the lower surface openings.

続いて、本実施形態の作動を説明する。
蒸発皿ヒータ60への通電制御は、除霜ヒータ32への通電をトリガとしてオンし、感温筒65が動作温度を検知してオフ信号を出したところでオフとなる。経時後、感温筒65の検知温度が動作温度を下回ってオン状態に復帰し、このとき除霜ヒータ32に対して未だ通電状態にあれば、蒸発皿ヒータ60も再度オンされ、一方、除霜ヒータ32への通電が既に遮断された状態にあれば、次の除霜運転の開始時において除霜ヒータ32へ通電されることに伴い、蒸発皿ヒータ60がオンするようになっている。
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
The energization control to the evaporating dish heater 60 is turned on using the energization to the defrost heater 32 as a trigger, and is turned off when the temperature sensing cylinder 65 detects the operating temperature and outputs an off signal. After a lapse of time, if the temperature detected by the temperature sensing cylinder 65 falls below the operating temperature and returns to the on state, and if the defrost heater 32 is still energized at this time, the evaporating dish heater 60 is also turned on again. If energization to the frost heater 32 is already cut off, the evaporating dish heater 60 is turned on as the defrost heater 32 is energized at the start of the next defrost operation.

通常の作動としては、除霜運転の開始時、すなわち蒸発皿ヒータ60がオンされたときには、蒸発皿41内には排水が残っており、当初はその残った排水が加熱され、ある程度時間が経つと、冷却器29等からの新たな排水(除霜水)が冷蔵庫本体10の背面壁10Aの排水路33を通り、蓋板43の排水孔68から蒸発皿41内に流入して一緒に加熱され、そののち除霜運転が終わって排水の流入も停止する。蒸発皿ヒータ60は引き続きオン状態にあり、図4に示すように、蒸発皿41内に溜められた排水wが加熱されて強制的に蒸発し、生成された蒸気は、蓋板43の蒸気抜き孔67から冷蔵庫本体10の背面壁10Aの蒸気通路35を立ち上り、上面開口から外部に廃棄される。
蒸発が進むと次第に水位が低下し、感温筒65の装着位置付近ではいわゆる空焚き状態となるため、次第に温度上昇する。そして、感温筒65が動作温度(115℃)を検知したところで、蒸発皿ヒータ60への通電がオフとなる。このとき、蒸発皿41の底面50の他の領域には排水が残っているため、同領域が危険温度まで過昇温するおそれはない。
As a normal operation, when the defrosting operation is started, that is, when the evaporating dish heater 60 is turned on, waste water remains in the evaporating dish 41, and the remaining waste water is initially heated and some time passes. Then, the new drainage (defrost water) from the cooler 29 and the like passes through the drainage channel 33 of the back wall 10A of the refrigerator body 10 and flows into the evaporating dish 41 from the drainage hole 68 of the lid plate 43 and is heated together. After that, the defrosting operation is finished and the inflow of waste water is stopped. As shown in FIG. 4, the evaporating dish heater 60 is continuously turned on, and the waste water w stored in the evaporating dish 41 is heated and forcibly evaporated, and the generated steam is removed from the cover plate 43. The steam passage 35 of the back wall 10A of the refrigerator body 10 rises from the hole 67 and is discarded to the outside through the top opening.
As the evaporation progresses, the water level gradually decreases, and a so-called emptying state is reached near the position where the temperature sensing cylinder 65 is attached, so that the temperature gradually increases. When the temperature sensing cylinder 65 detects the operating temperature (115 ° C.), the energization to the evaporating dish heater 60 is turned off. At this time, since the drainage remains in the other area of the bottom surface 50 of the evaporating dish 41, there is no possibility that the temperature of the area is excessively increased to the dangerous temperature.

一方、除霜運転の開始時において、蒸発皿41内に排水が残っていない場合があり得る。例えば、運転状態や周囲温度等の関係で、元々除霜水が少なく、次の除霜運転までの間に蒸発皿41内の排水が自然蒸発により廃棄される場合等である。
この場合は、蒸発皿ヒータ60がオンされると、空の蒸発皿41が加熱されることになるため早期に昇温し、感温筒65が早期に動作温度を検知して蒸発皿ヒータ60がオフとなる。このとき除霜運転が終了して除霜ヒータ32の通電が遮断されない限りは、蒸発皿ヒータ60は再度オンされるため、蒸発皿41に排水が溜まっていない状態で蒸発皿ヒータ60のオン・オフが繰り返されることがある。
On the other hand, at the start of the defrosting operation, drainage may not remain in the evaporating dish 41. For example, there is a case where the amount of defrosted water is originally low due to the operation state, ambient temperature, etc., and the waste water in the evaporating dish 41 is discarded by natural evaporation before the next defrosting operation.
In this case, when the evaporating dish heater 60 is turned on, the empty evaporating dish 41 is heated, so that the temperature is raised early, and the temperature sensing cylinder 65 detects the operating temperature early to detect the evaporating dish heater 60. Is turned off. At this time, as long as the defrosting operation is finished and the energization of the defrost heater 32 is not interrupted, the evaporating dish heater 60 is turned on again. Off may be repeated.

このように蒸発皿41に水が無い状態で蒸発皿ヒータ60がオンされた場合は、感温筒65が動作温度を検知して蒸発皿ヒータ60がオフとなった際に、過昇温される箇所が出ることが懸念される。その点この実施形態では、感温筒65の配設位置付近(前部領域51)が、他の箇所(後部領域52)よりも蒸発皿ヒータ60が密に配線されているから、昇温速度が高くなり、他の箇所の昇温速度は、感温筒65の配設箇所付近のそれと比べると、低いかせいぜい同程度に留められる。そして、早期に高温となる箇所が感温筒65の動作温度(115℃)に達したところで、蒸発皿ヒータ60への通電が遮断されるのであるから、蒸発皿41の温度は全域にわたって、感温筒65の配設箇所付近の温度よりも低いかせいぜい同程度に留められる。   As described above, when the evaporating dish heater 60 is turned on in a state where there is no water in the evaporating dish 41, the temperature is increased when the temperature sensing cylinder 65 detects the operating temperature and the evaporating dish heater 60 is turned off. I am concerned that some parts will come out. In this regard, in this embodiment, the evaporating dish heater 60 is more densely wired near the position where the temperature sensing cylinder 65 is disposed (front region 51) than at other locations (rear region 52). The temperature rise rate at other locations is kept at the same level as low as compared with that near the location where the temperature sensing cylinder 65 is disposed. Then, when the place where the temperature becomes high at an early stage reaches the operating temperature (115 ° C.) of the temperature sensing cylinder 65, the energization to the evaporating dish heater 60 is cut off. The temperature is kept at the same level at most lower than the temperature in the vicinity of the location where the warm cylinder 65 is disposed.

蒸発皿41に水の無い状態で、蒸発皿ヒータ60がオンされてその後に感温筒65のサーモ機能によりオフとされた場合において、蒸発皿41の底面50における各箇所の最高温度を測定したところ、図5の表図に示すような結果が得られた。
蒸発皿41の底面50における各箇所の温度は、同箇所に配線された蒸発皿ヒータ60の表面温度によってこれを擬制しており、過昇温の目安となる規定温度は、例えば「170℃」である。また、蒸発皿41に対する加熱の程度、すなわち排水の蒸発能力は、周囲温度や、蒸発皿ヒータ60への印可電圧の変動によって異なるから、低温低電圧条件[周囲温度:5℃、電圧:規定電圧(230V)の90%=207V])と、高温高電圧条件[周囲温度:43℃、電圧:規定電圧(230V)の110%=253V])の2条件のもとで行った。
When the evaporating dish heater 60 was turned on and then turned off by the thermo function of the temperature sensing cylinder 65 in a state where there was no water in the evaporating dish 41, the maximum temperature at each location on the bottom surface 50 of the evaporating dish 41 was measured. The results shown in the table of FIG. 5 were obtained.
The temperature at each location on the bottom surface 50 of the evaporating dish 41 is simulated by the surface temperature of the evaporating dish heater 60 wired at the same location. It is. In addition, since the degree of heating of the evaporating dish 41, that is, the evaporation capacity of the waste water varies depending on the ambient temperature and the fluctuation of the applied voltage to the evaporating dish heater 60, low temperature and low voltage conditions [ambient temperature: 5 ° C, voltage: specified voltage And 90% of (230V) = 207V]) and high temperature and high voltage conditions [ambient temperature: 43 ° C., voltage: 110% of specified voltage (230V) = 253V]).

以上の結果では、感温筒65が装着された前部領域51の全位置「D」、「E」、「F」、「G」と、後部領域52における蒸発皿41の幅方向の端部位置「C」とでは、最高温度が規定値「170℃」を下回っている。ただ、後部領域52における蒸発皿41の幅方向の中央位置「A」と中間位置「B」とでは、最高温度が規定値「170℃」を越えている。これについては、例えば従来のように、蒸発皿ヒータ60がピッチb〜c程度の等ピッチで配線されていた場合には、特に上記の中央位置「A」と対応する位置での最高温度が「200℃以上」といった規定値を大幅に超えることと比較すると、本実施形態の位置「A」、「B」での規定温度からの超過値は少なく、また規定温度を越えている時間も短時間であるため、問題無いと考えられる。
また、後部領域52内でも、蒸発皿41の幅方向の中央位置「A」、中間位置「B」、端部位置「C」において最高温度に大きな差はなく、後部領域52全体、ひいては蒸発皿41の底面50の全域にわたって均等に昇温されることが確認できる。
なお、蒸発皿ヒータ60のオン・オフが繰り返された場合、上記した最高温度はサイクルの度に減少することも、確認されている。
In the above results, all positions “D”, “E”, “F”, “G” of the front region 51 to which the temperature sensing cylinder 65 is attached, and the end portion in the width direction of the evaporating dish 41 in the rear region 52. At the position “C”, the maximum temperature is lower than the specified value “170 ° C.”. However, at the center position “A” and the intermediate position “B” in the width direction of the evaporating dish 41 in the rear region 52, the maximum temperature exceeds the specified value “170 ° C.”. For example, when the evaporating dish heater 60 is wired at an equal pitch of about pitches b to c as in the prior art, the maximum temperature particularly at the position corresponding to the central position “A” is “ Compared with a value exceeding the specified value such as “200 ° C. or higher”, the excess value from the specified temperature at the positions “A” and “B” in this embodiment is small, and the time exceeding the specified temperature is also short. Therefore, it is considered that there is no problem.
Further, even within the rear region 52, there is no significant difference in the maximum temperature at the center position “A”, the intermediate position “B”, and the end position “C” in the width direction of the evaporating dish 41, and the entire rear area 52 and thus the evaporating dish. It can be confirmed that the temperature is increased uniformly over the entire bottom surface 50 of 41.
It has also been confirmed that when the evaporating dish heater 60 is repeatedly turned on and off, the maximum temperature described above decreases with each cycle.

このように本実施形態では、蒸発皿41に水が無い状態で蒸発皿ヒータ60に通電された場合、感温筒65の配設箇所付近では蒸発皿ヒータ60が密に配線されているため、昇温速度が相対的に高くなるのに対して、他の箇所の昇温速度はそれと比べると、低いかせいぜい同程度に留められる。そして、早期に高温となる箇所が感温筒65の動作温度に達したところで、蒸発皿ヒータ60への通電が遮断されるのであるから、蒸発皿41の温度は全域にわたって感温筒65の配設箇所付近の温度よりも低いかせいぜい同程度に留められ、局部的に高温となることが防止される。
感温筒65の配設箇所付近以外の領域、すなわち後部領域52でも、熱が籠もりやすい中央部において端部側よりも蒸発皿ヒータ60を粗く配線したから、同後部領域52でもほぼ均等に温度上昇し、部分的な過昇温がより確実に防止される。
As described above, in the present embodiment, when the evaporating dish heater 60 is energized in a state where there is no water in the evaporating dish 41, the evaporating dish heater 60 is densely wired in the vicinity of the location where the temperature sensitive cylinder 65 is disposed. While the rate of temperature increase is relatively high, the rate of temperature increase at other locations is low and at most the same level. Since the temperature of the evaporating dish heater 60 is cut off when the point where the temperature becomes high at an early stage reaches the operating temperature of the temperature sensing cylinder 65, the temperature of the evaporating dish 41 is distributed over the entire area. The temperature is kept at a level that is lower than the temperature in the vicinity of the installation place, and it is prevented that the temperature becomes high locally.
Even in the region other than the vicinity of the location where the temperature sensing cylinder 65 is disposed, that is, in the rear region 52, the evaporating dish heater 60 is wired more coarsely than the end side in the central portion where heat is easily trapped. The temperature rises and partial overheating is more reliably prevented.

また、本実施形態では、蒸発皿41の底面50が、後部領域52がほぼ水平面で、前部領域51が前上がりとなった傾斜面とされていて、その傾斜面の上部側の位置に感温筒65が装着されている。したがって、蒸発皿41に排水が貯留された状態において、蒸発皿ヒータ60で加熱されることにより水の蒸発が進んで水位が低下すると、感温筒65が配設された前部領域51の上部位置が初めに昇温され、そこで動作温度を検知することにより蒸発皿ヒータ60への通電が遮断されるのであるから、それより下位の部分で過昇温することが確実に防止される。   Further, in the present embodiment, the bottom surface 50 of the evaporating dish 41 is an inclined surface in which the rear region 52 is substantially horizontal and the front region 51 is raised upward, and the position on the upper side of the inclined surface is felt. A warm cylinder 65 is attached. Accordingly, in the state where the drainage is stored in the evaporating dish 41, when the water level is lowered due to the evaporation of water by being heated by the evaporating dish heater 60, the upper portion of the front region 51 where the temperature sensing cylinder 65 is disposed. Since the position is first heated and the operating temperature is detected there, the energization to the evaporating dish heater 60 is cut off, so that it is reliably prevented that the temperature rises in the lower part.

<実施形態2>
図6は、本発明の実施形態2を示し、蒸発皿41Aの形状に変更が加えられている。実施形態2の蒸発皿41Aでは、同図(A)に示すように、後縁の所定領域が最も深く、蒸発皿41Aの底面50Aは、最深部から前縁に向かう全長にわたって、小角度(2〜3°程度)の上り勾配に形成されている。
そして、この蒸発皿41Aの底面50Aの裏面には、同図(B)に示すように、コードヒータからなる蒸発皿ヒータ60が、上記実施形態1と同じような形態で配線されている。すなわち底面50Aが、手前側の約1/4の前部領域51と、残りの約3/4の後部領域52とに便宜的に分けられ、蒸発皿ヒータ60は、後部領域52では蒸発皿41Aの幅方向(同図の上下方向)に沿ってジグザグ状に、また、前部領域51では、蒸発皿41Aの長さ方向に沿ってジグザグ状に、それぞれ実施形態1と同様の各ピッチで配線されている。
また、感温筒65は、蒸発皿41Aの幅の中央部から少し一側に寄った位置で、かつ前側から3本目のヒータ線61Bの真表に対応する位置において、同ヒータ線61Bに沿うような姿勢で内底面に密着して装着されている。
<Embodiment 2>
FIG. 6 shows Embodiment 2 of the present invention, in which the shape of the evaporating dish 41A is changed. In the evaporating dish 41A of the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5A, the predetermined area of the rear edge is deepest, and the bottom surface 50A of the evaporating dish 41A has a small angle (2) over the entire length from the deepest part toward the front edge. (Up to about 3 °).
Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, an evaporating dish heater 60 made of a code heater is wired on the back surface of the bottom surface 50A of the evaporating dish 41A in the same manner as in the first embodiment. That is, the bottom surface 50A is divided into a front area 51 of about 1/4 on the near side and a rear area 52 of the remaining about 3/4 for convenience, and the evaporating dish heater 60 has an evaporating dish 41A in the rear area 52. In a zigzag shape along the width direction (vertical direction in the figure), and in the front region 51, in a zigzag shape along the length direction of the evaporating dish 41A, wiring is performed at the same pitch as in the first embodiment. Has been.
Further, the temperature sensing cylinder 65 is located along the heater line 61B at a position slightly closer to one side from the center of the width of the evaporating dish 41A and at a position corresponding to the true surface of the third heater line 61B from the front side. It is attached in close contact with the inner bottom surface in such a posture.

この実施形態2においても、実施形態1と同様に、蒸発皿41Aに水が無い状態で蒸発皿ヒータ60に通電された場合、感温筒65の配設箇所付近が他の箇所と比べて昇温速度が相対的に高くなり、その早期に高温となる箇所が感温筒65の動作温度に達したところで、蒸発皿ヒータ60への通電が遮断されるのであるから、蒸発皿41Aの温度は全域にわたって感温筒65の配設箇所付近の温度よりも低いかせいぜい同程度に留められ、局部的に高温となることが防止される。また後部領域52でもほぼ均等に温度上昇し、部分的な過昇温がより確実に防止される。   Also in the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, when the evaporating dish heater 60 is energized in a state where there is no water in the evaporating dish 41A, the vicinity of the place where the temperature sensing cylinder 65 is disposed is higher than the other parts. The temperature of the evaporating dish 41 </ b> A is cut off when the temperature rate is relatively high and the energization of the evaporating dish heater 60 is interrupted when the part of the temperature sensing cylinder 65 reaches the operating temperature at an early stage. The temperature of the temperature sensing cylinder 65 is kept to be at most the same level as that of the temperature sensor 65 over the entire area, so that a local high temperature is prevented. Further, the temperature in the rear region 52 rises almost evenly, and partial overheating is more reliably prevented.

<実施形態3>
図7は、本発明の実施形態3を示す。この実施形態3では、サーモスタット感温筒65の取付姿勢に変更が加えられている。
例えば実施形態1では、排水が感温筒65に被った状態から次第に蒸発されて水位が低下する場合、感温筒65に水が溜まった状態となるおそれがある。そうすると感温筒65は、蒸発皿41の底面50の温度よりも低い温度を検知することになって、すなわち動作温度を検知するまでに遅れが生じ、蒸発皿ヒータ60をオフするタイミングが遅れて、過昇温する箇所が出るおそれがある。
<Embodiment 3>
FIG. 7 shows Embodiment 3 of the present invention. In the third embodiment, the mounting posture of the thermostat temperature sensing cylinder 65 is changed.
For example, in the first embodiment, when the water level is gradually reduced from the state in which the drainage is covered by the temperature sensing tube 65 and the water level is lowered, the temperature sensing tube 65 may be in a state where water is accumulated. Then, the temperature sensing cylinder 65 detects a temperature lower than the temperature of the bottom surface 50 of the evaporating dish 41, that is, a delay occurs until the operating temperature is detected, and the timing for turning off the evaporating dish heater 60 is delayed. There is a risk of overheating.

そこで実施形態3では、感温筒65は斜め姿勢を取り、取付金具66で蒸発皿41の底面50の表面に押し付けられて装着されている。このため、感温筒65に被った排水の水位が次第に減少した場合に、排水は斜め姿勢の感温筒65に倣って流下するために感温筒65に残らない。その結果、蒸発皿41の底面50の温度を直接に検知でき、すなわち動作温度を正確に検知できて、適正なタイミングで蒸発皿ヒータ60をオフ制御することができる。   Therefore, in the third embodiment, the temperature sensing cylinder 65 is in an oblique posture and is mounted by being pressed against the surface of the bottom surface 50 of the evaporating dish 41 by the mounting bracket 66. For this reason, when the water level of the drainage which has covered the temperature sensing cylinder 65 gradually decreases, the drainage does not remain in the temperature sensing cylinder 65 because it flows down following the temperature sensing cylinder 65 in an oblique posture. As a result, the temperature of the bottom surface 50 of the evaporating dish 41 can be directly detected, that is, the operating temperature can be accurately detected, and the evaporating dish heater 60 can be controlled to be turned off at an appropriate timing.
