Configuration of conventional example and its problems Figure 1 shows an operational flowchart of a conventional hot water storage type electric water heater. In the figure, first, when the late-night power supply starts, it is detected and the hot water temperature (Ts℃) set by the hot water temperature setting means is detected by the hot water sensor at the bottom of the tank. Measure the water temperature (Tw℃) and use the following formula,
The required energization time (Hs) of the heating element and the energization start shift time (H P ) are calculated by the calculator.

Hs=V(Ts−Tw)/860×P×η HP=H−Hs 但し、V:貯湯タンク容量() P:発熱体の定格消費電力(Kw) η:発熱体の加熱効率 H:深夜電力の契約使用時間 そして一方、夜間タイマー(HN)のカウント

Hs = V (Ts - Tw) / 860 x P x η H P = H - Hs However, V: Capacity of hot water storage tank () P: Rated power consumption of heating element (Kw) η: Heating efficiency of heating element H: Late at night On the other hand, the timer device starts counting the night timer (H N ), and when the night timer (H N ) and the energization start shift time (H P ) are finally reached,
By comparison, the configuration is such that when H N ≧ H P , energization to the heating element is started.

However, in conventional hot water storage type electric water heaters that perform a shift operation to start energizing the heating element, the water temperature detected by the hot water sensor (Tw℃) is high and close to the set hot water temperature (Ts℃). In this case, the calculated required energization time (Hs) will be a small value. On the other hand, errors that occur related to shift operations include the detected water temperature (Tw℃), the resolution of the computing unit,
There are the count time of the timer device (H N ), the contract usage time of late-night electricity (H), etc. Therefore, by integrating these errors, the required energization time (Hs) is calculated.
If the heating element was small, there was a possibility that the heating element could not be operated for a sufficient amount of time. For example, H=8 hours,
Under the conditions of V = 370, P = 4.4kw, η = 0.9, Ts = 85°C, when Tw is as high as 75°C, the required energization time (Hs) = 1.1 hours, the energization start shift time (H P ) = 6.9 hours. However, among the above errors, the count time (H N ) of the timer device
However, the contract time (H) for late-night electricity is +8%, -7
If there are variations in %, the actual power start shift time (H P ) will be 6.9 x 1.08 = 7.45 (hours), while the night power contract time (H) will be 8 x 0.93 = 7.44 (hours). , a problem arises in that the heating element is not energized at all.

First, when the late-night power supply starts, the late-night power detection circuit 7 detects this, sends it to the microcomputer 8, and sets the night timer (H N ) in the timer device 8a.
counting begins. On the other hand, the water temperature (Tw) detected by the water temperature sensor 3 is transmitted to the water temperature detection circuit 4, and the set water temperature (Ts) detected by the temperature control volume 5 is transmitted to the set water temperature detection circuit 6. The data is taken into the microcomputer 8, and then the required energization time (Hs) and the energization start shift time (H P ) are calculated by the arithmetic unit 8b. However, the water temperature (T W °C) detected by the water temperature sensor 3 is once taken into the comparator 8c, where it is compared with the preset upper limit of water temperature (35 °C in this example). If T W °C) is a high temperature of 35 °C or higher, set T W to 35 °C.

On the other hand, if the condition H N ≧ H P does not hold, the process returns to the starting point and repeats the judgment of the late-night power, and as the night timer (H N ) continues to count, the energization start shift time (H P ) is determined. will also be updated from time to time. Moreover, once heater energization is started, the heater energization state is maintained without comparing H N and H P from then on. Further, if the late-night power is not being applied, instead of counting the night timer (H N ), the timer is cleared to 0 in preparation for starting the next late-night power supply.
