Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide not only setting of the times to start and finish space heating but also setting of the temperature that is desired in an electric space heater provided with the program timer function by providing a key to set the temperature of space heating and a space heating temperature display device. CONSTITUTION:When a program timer is set for an electric space heater, a program number is firstly selected by a program number setting key 5 provided on the main body 7 of the space heater and a program number display device 6. And at the same time, the time to start space heating and the time to finish it are respectively set by a time setting key for the timer and a timer time display device 4. Next. a desired space heating temperature is set by a space heating temperature setting key 1 and the space heating temperature display device 2. With this arrangement when the timer action is started, the space heating actions are carried out according to a time to start space heating and a time to finish it and a desired space heating temperature that are beforehand set by a program.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The contents of the program timer settings for conventional heaters are heating start time and heating end time, and it is not possible to set individual heating temperatures when each timer operates.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems. A heating temperature setting key 1 and a heating temperature display 2 are provided to enable setting of the heating temperature when the timer is operating.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problem] The problem is solved by newly providing a heating temperature setting key 1 and a heating temperature display 2 and controlling the heating temperature of the program timer according to the present invention as shown in the flowchart shown in FIG. This is what I did.

[0007]

[Operation] The method of setting the heating temperature of the program timer in the present invention is to select the program number using the program number setting key 5 and the program number display 6, and select the heating start time and heating temperature using the timer time setting key 3 and the timer time display 4. Set the end time. Next, the heating temperature is set using the heating temperature setting key 1 and the heating temperature display 2.

[0008]

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is an external view of one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flow chart of one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a circuit block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is the heating temperature setting key, 2 is the heating temperature display, 3 is the timer time setting key, 4 is the timer time display, 5 is the program number setting key, 6 is the program number display, 7 is the main unit, and 8 is the A control section, 9 a setting key section, 10 a display section, 11 a temperature detector, 12 an electric heater, and 13 a power source.

Next, the functions and operations will be explained. To set the program timer, first select the program number using the program number setting key 5 and program number display 6, and then set the heating start time and heating end time using the timer time setting key 3 and timer time display 4. . Next, a desired heating temperature is set using the heating temperature setting key 1 and the heating temperature display 2.

[0010] When the timer operation is started, the timer operates according to the heating start time, heating end time, and desired heating temperature set in advance by the program.

[0011] In the above embodiment, the heating temperature indicator,
Although the timer time display and program number display have been described separately, the same effect can be obtained even if one display is switched and used.

0012

As described above, according to the present invention, when setting the program timer by providing the heating temperature setting key 1 and the heating temperature display 2, not only the heating start time and the heating end time can be set, but also the desired heating temperature setting key 1 and heating temperature display 2 are provided. It is also possible to set the heating temperature.
