Abstract

PURPOSE:To display an operating means and pay attention to it when the operating means is changed by a method wherein a memory part may store a signal from a sensing part of the operating means, the same signal is sent to a displaying part until operation by the operating means is carried out, and if the operating means is varied, a signal is changed, sent to the displaying part and displayed there. CONSTITUTION:A sensing part 6 of operating means may perform a discrimination of several operations, for example, a direct operation, a remote controlled operation, an indoor operation through a home automation and an outdoor operation through a home automation such as a telecontrolling and detect each of them. In case that the operation is carried out, a signal is sent to a buzzer sound generating part 6 to ring the buzzer sound for a short period of time. The memory part 7 keeps the content detected by the sensing part 6 of the operating means and then if a subsequent operation is carried out, it may cancel the previous stored content to keep a new content. A display part 8 may receive a signal from the memory part 7, display a type of the operating means. With this arrangement, it is possible to continue to inform persons around the combustion unit of which combustion unit is being operated by the operating means.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display device for a combustion machine that performs heating by discharging combustion gas indoors or outdoors.

Conventional Technology In general, combustion machines can be operated by multiple operating means, such as direct operation, remote control operation, indoor operation using HA, and outdoor operation using HA such as a teleconverter. The machine was not designed to display which control means was used to operate it.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Therefore, in the conventional combustion machine described above, the combustion machine can be operated by several operating means such as direct operation, remote control operation, indoor operation by HA, and outdoor operation by HA such as a teleconverter. When the combustion machine was operated, it was not possible to know by which operating means it was operated by looking at the display device of the combustor.

Therefore, for example, if someone other than the operator is near the combustor, and the combustor suddenly starts burning due to outdoor control means such as a teleconverter, there is a risk that the combustor may misunderstand that the combustion has started due to a malfunction. Not only that, but there was also the risk of causing anxiety in terms of safety and management.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and has the third object to display this (operating means) when the operating means is changed to alert people around the combustor.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention sets several operating means in advance, and when the operating means is changed, the operating means detecting section detects which means has been operated. The configuration is such that the operating means is displayed in response to a signal from the operating means detection section.

Function: With the above-described configuration, the present invention can visually inform people around the combustion machine as to which operating means is being used to operate the combustion machine.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the accompanying drawings.

First, an outline of the operating configuration of the combustion machine will be explained using FIG. 3. Reference numeral 1 denotes a combustion machine such as a fan heater, and has a direct operation part 2 such as an operation switch. 3 is a remote control for operating the combustion machine 1, 4 is an HA for operating the combustion machine 1, and 4
4b is an indoor HA that is operated indoors, and 4b is an outdoor HA that is operated outdoors using a telephone line.

Next, a display device for determining and displaying which of the various operating means has been operated will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 5 denotes an operating means detection unit, which detects various operating means, such as direct operation, remote control operation, indoor operation using HA, and HA such as a teleconverter.
In addition to distinguishing and detecting operations from outside,
When an operation is performed, a signal is sent to the buzzer sound generator 6 to generate a buzzer sound for a short period of time. Reference numeral 7 denotes a storage section, which retains the contents detected by the operating means detection section 5, and when the next operation is performed, the previous retained contents are erased and new contents are retained. . Reference numeral 8 denotes a display section, which receives signals from the storage section 7 and continues to display the type of operating means.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained using the flowchart of FIG. 2. First, when an operation is performed using one of the operating means, a signal S9 is sent from the operating means detection section 5 to the buzzer sound generation section 6, and a short buzzer sound is sounded. At the same time, the operating means detection unit 5 outputs a signal S1 for direct operation according to the operating means, a signal S2 for remote control operation, a signal S3 for indoor operation by HA, and a signal S4 for outdoor operation by HA such as a teleconverter. Send it to the storage section 7. If the received signal is 51, the storage unit 7 stores the signal S5, and if the received signal is S2, it stores the signal S6.
, if S3, signal S7, if S4, signal S8, continue to be sent to display unit 8 until the next signal is sent to storage unit 7. The display unit 8 displays direct operation in response to signal S5 (Display 1), and displays remote control operation in response to signal S6 (Display 2)
), display indoor HA operation for signal S7 3)
, outdoor HA operation is displayed for signal S8 (display 4), and different displays are used for the operation means.

According to the present invention, as is clear from the description of the embodiments above,
For example, people around the combustion machine can see the operating means by looking at the display on the combustion machine, so the number of operators can be relatively limited, eliminating concerns about safety and management. be able to.

Furthermore, when the operating means is changed, it is possible to effectively and immediately know the change in the operating means, which not only improves usability but also makes it possible to alert people around the combustion state.
