Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a visual effect nearer to the natural flame with no flicker or the like by providing a means continuously exciting at least one or more and up to (n-2) heating elements and a trigger circuit making the power consumption constant for the remaining (n-l)-2 2 heating elements and the power source side. CONSTITUTION:When a continuous excitation control switch 10 is closed, a heating element 9 is set to the continuous excitation state. Zero cross trigger pulses are generated by an excitation control circuit 4 via zero cross pulses generated by a zero cross trigger pulse generating circuit 3, triode AC switches 6 serving es 0.3sec power control elements are excited. Heating elements 7, 5, 7... are excited in sequence at the preset timing. If the capacity of each heating element is equal, the power consumption is invariably the quantity for two heating elements, thus no flicker or the like occurs. When the continuously excited heating element is located below and the heating elements excitation- controlled by the trigger circuit are located above, a visual effect nearer to the natural flame can be obtained.

The zero cross pulse generated by the zero cross trigger pulse generation circuit 3 causes the energization control circuit 4 composed of a microcomputer etc. to generate a trigger pulse at the zero cross, and the power control element generates a trigger pulse for 0.3 seconds (18 cycles in a 60 Hz area). A certain triac 6 is made conductive. Next, the heating elements 7, 5, 7, . . . are sequentially energized at the timing shown in FIG. Therefore, if the capacity of each heating element is the same, the power consumption is always equal to that of two heating elements.
