Abstract

PURPOSE:To inform the abnormality of an apparatus whose operational defect can not be easily judged by a user by providing a current detector to a deodorizing device and further using a display device displaying operation and detecting the operation current of the apparatus and turning the display device OFF or flashing the same when the detected value is an abnormal one. CONSTITUTION:A deodorizing device 2, the contact of a relay 3 and a current detector 4 are respectively connected in series to constitute an AC power supply 1 and a closed circuit. The relay driving output from a control circuit 9 is connected to the coils of relays 3, 6 through drivers 10, 11 and the 'ON'/'OFF' switch 13 of the deodorizing device and the 'ON'/'OFF' switch 15 of a far infrared ray generator are respectively connected to the input of the control circuit 9. When the deodorizing device 2 becomes operation inferiority and the value thereof is shifted from the value set to the current detector 4, an abnormality signal is outputted from the current detector 4 to be inputted to the control circuit 9 and the display device 12 is turned OFF from a lighting state or becomes a flashing state. Therefore, a user can easily judged whether the use way of the apparatus is bad or the deodorizing device 4 itself is in an operationably defective state, and the distrust to a product is eliminated.

In the above-mentioned conventional technology, the display is lit during the rapid cooling operation even though the load that operates during the rapid cooling operation is not operating. For this reason, the user thinks that 1 cooling operation is being performed 6 times, but there is a problem in that the rapid cooling operation is not actually in progress. In particular, Chikagi's refrigerator is equipped with a deodorizing device and a device for keeping freshness using far-infrared light. The user's sense of smell determines whether the device is operating normally or not.
Confirmed by taste. In this case, judgments such as whether the refrigerator cools or not cools do not differ depending on the user, and it is easy to determine whether the refrigerator is malfunctioning. However, when it comes to "smell" or "rice", etc., there are differences between people. It may end up being used in a malfunctioning state for a long period of time. These defects t-! 4
Connect an indicator in series to the load of each device to turn off the negative #? If there is a-fi, there is a way to turn off the display, but in this case, the display must be connected to the power supply of the device and without affecting the current consumption.
Display devices are limited and there is no freedom in design! Ta,
This will increase costs.

A driving signal is input to the iaI path 9. For this reason 11l#
When the output at step s9 becomes H level, only the driver 10 is turned on, and the relay 3 is turned on, and the deodorizing device 2 starts operating. At this time, if the deodorizing device 2 is operating normally, the value of the flow flowing into the deodorizing device 2 is 1IcI5! Since it is within the value set by the detection IISA, no abnormal signal water is input from the current detector 4 to the control circuit 9. For this reason,
The display output of the deodorizing device 2 in the control cycle fi9 is at H level), and the display 12 of the deodorizing device it2 lights up to display the deodorizing operation. Next, if the deodorizing device 112 malfunctions, and the current detector 4 deviates from the value set, the current ejector 4
An abnormal signal is outputted from the control circuit 9, and the display output of the deodorizing device 2 changes from H level to L level, or from H level to oscillation output. will blink. Among them, the deodorizing device 2 is deodorizing t7
If the deodorizing device 2 is malfunctioning when you start operation with the OFF switch 13, turn off the deodorizing device [12] from the beginning.
Needless to say, the display 12 will be off or will be lit silver.
