Abstract

PURPOSE:To repeat constant-time heating at the same time every day by providing a 1st timer control part which actuates a 1st timer and a 2nd timer control part which actuates 1st and 2nd timers. CONSTITUTION:A microcomputer 15 when detecting the ON signal of a timer actuation switch 11 detects the time up to the start of heating set with a 1st variable resistor 16 to actuates the 1st timer 4 and also turn off a 1st relay 12. When the 1st timer 4 enters its time-up state, the relay 12 is turned on and the 1st timer 4 is actuated with a 24-hours set time; and the time up to the stop of the heating set with a 2nd variable resistor 17 is detected and the 2nd timer 5 is actuated. Then when the 2nd timer 5 enters its time-up state, the relay 12 is turned off. The 1st timer 4 enters the time-up state at intervals of 24 hours and the relay 12 is turned on repeatedly. The timer when the relay 12 is ON is controlled by the 2nd timer 5, so the relay is never ON continuously. Consequently, the constant-time heating can be repeated at the same time every day.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention aims to improve the usability of a timer device that controls the start and stop of heating equipment, especially by repeatedly heating at the same time every day. This relates to a timer device suitable for heating toilets and other places when it gets cold early in the morning.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, the circuit of a hot-air heating device with a built-in timer of this type has an ON/OFF switch 21, a heater 13, a fan motor 14, a timer 22, and a timer 22, as shown in FIG. It consists of a timer switch 23 whose contacts change.

Next, the operation will be explained using FIG. In this circuit, when the ON/OFF switch 21 is ON, the timer 2
2 to an arbitrary time, the timer switch 23 turns O.
It will be turned off and turned on again after the timer setting time.

Therefore, after the timer setting time elapses, the fan motor 14
Then, the heater 13 is energized and heating can be performed automatically. The ON/OFF switch 21 and the timer 22 can be switched using the same knob 24 as shown in Fig. 6. To turn the heating on or off, turn the knob 24 on (25) or off (25).
The timer time is set by adjusting the knob 24 to a setting range 27. After setting the timer time, the knob 24 returns to the on position 25 as time elapses.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above method, when heating is automatically started by a timer, in order to turn off the heating, it is necessary to turn it on and off.
It is necessary to turn off the OFF switch 21. If you are heating a toilet, etc. that you only use a few times a day,
You have to go all the way to the bathroom to operate the switch. There were user-friendliness issues, such as if you forgot to turn off the heating, you would end up wasting electricity. Additionally, if you want to automatically start heating every morning, you have to set a timer every day, which is a hassle.

Furthermore, after setting the timer, if you want to use the heating temporarily before the timer starts heating, you need to turn the timer setting knob 24 back to on 25 and then reset the timer after use. The problem is that it is extremely difficult to use.

The present invention solves the above problems and provides a timer device that can repeat heating for a certain period of time at the same time every day.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the timer device for heating equipment of the present invention includes an ON/OFF switch for starting and stopping heating, and an ON timer setting section for setting the time until heating starts. and OFF, which sets the set time from heating start to stop.
A timer setting section, a first timer that measures the time until heating starts, a second timer that measures the time until heating stops, a timer switch that starts and stops the first timer, and a timer switch. When turned on, if the first timer is running, the first timer is stopped, and if it is not running, the time set in the ON timer setting section is set in the first timer, and the first timer is turned on. A first timer control unit that starts the timer, and after the first timer times up, sets 24 hours as the setting time of the first timer, and sets the time set by the OFF timer setting unit as the setting time of the second timer. 1. a second timer control unit that starts the second timer, and starts heating when the first timer times up and stops heating when the second timer times up; It consists of a heating control section that stops heating when the ON/OFF switch is turned ON.

Effects of the present invention With the above-described configuration, by setting the -degree timer, heating can be started at the same time every day thereafter, and heating can be automatically stopped after a certain period of time. Furthermore, the heating is turned off regardless of the timer setting.
Therefore, it is possible to provide a heating device that can be used in a heated manner and has improved usability.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

8 is a second timer setting section, and 9 is a heating control section. Second
The figure shows the circuit of a hot air heating device using the timer of the present invention, where 16 is the first polyneme for setting the time until the start of heating, and 17 is the polyneme for setting the time from the start of heating until it stops. , 10 is the heating ON/OFF switch, 1
1 is a timer switch, 12 is a relay for driving the fan motor 14 and heater 13, and 15 is a microprocessor (hereinafter abbreviated as microcomputer).

Here, the operation of the microcomputer 15 will be explained using the flowchart shown in FIG. When the microcomputer 15 detects 31 the ON signal of the timer start switch 11, it turns on the first volume 1.
The time until the start of heating set in step 6 is detected 32, and the first

do. When the first timer times out 35, the relay 12 is set to 0N36L, the first timer is restarted 37 at the set time of 24 hours, the time until the heating stops set in the second polyneem 17 is detected 38, and the Start timer 239
do. Next, when the second timer times out 40, the relay 12 is turned 0FF41. From then on, the first timer times up every 24 hours and reaches 35, reaching 0 of relay 12.
Repeat N36. On the other hand, the ON time of the relay 12 is controlled by the second timer, so the relay 12 does not remain ON. In other words, by setting a -degree timer, heating can be repeated for a fixed period of time at the same time every day.

In addition, as shown in FIG.
4, if the ON/OFF switch 10 is set to 0N45, the relay 12 is set to 0FF41. Second
Regardless of the operation of the timer, 0N-OFF switch 1
Heating can be started and stopped at 0, eliminating the hassle of having to return the timer setting knob 24 to its original position. Although not shown, if turning on the timer switch 6 is detected during activation of the first timer,
Stop the first timer and return to normal control.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, when the relay 12 is OFF and the ON/OFF switch 10 is turned 0N43, the relay 12 is turned 0N36L, and if the second timer is started 39, the second timer will be turned 40 after time-up. It becomes possible to turn the relay 12 to 0FF41, and the function of preventing forgetting to turn it off can be easily realized.

Furthermore, in the case of heating a toilet, etc., heating only needs to be performed during the early morning hours when it is cold, so if the heating time is set to a fixed value, the second polyneum 9 can be omitted, reducing costs. I can do it.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the timer device for heating equipment of the present invention provides the following effects.

[By setting the timer for 11-degrees, heating can be repeated for a certain period of time at the same time every day.

(2) It is easy to prevent forgetting to turn off the heating during normal heating, and wasteful electricity can be saved.

(3) Since heating can be started and stopped with a switch independently of the timer while the timer is running, there is no need to worry about resetting the timer.
