Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit the water leakage inspection of a water circuit even under a condition that works for the gas circuit of a burner for hot-water supplying is not finished yet by a method wherein the supply of water into a bathtub is continued under a condition that the supply of gas to the burner for hot-water supplying is stopped when an OR signal is generated from an OR circuit. CONSTITUTION:When a test switch 6 is operated to start hot-water filling operation, the operating signal of the test switch 6 is impressed on an OR circuit 61 and whereby a signal is outputted from the OR circuit 61. When a signal from the OR circuit 61 is outputted, water supplying operation to a bathtub 3 is continued under a condition that the supply of gas to a burner 41 for hot-water supplying is stopped. Accordingly, a combustion monitoring device B1 will never detect the abnormal combustion of the burner 41 and, therefore, a hot-water filling valve 24 will never be closed. According to this constitution, water supplying operation into the bathtub 3 can be effected even before finishing the works for a gas circuit.

2. Description of the Related Art A so-called automatic water filling device for stopping the hot water supply when the hot water supplied to a bath reaches a certain amount is shown in FIG. This product is filled with hot water that has been warmed in advance by the solar water heater (1).

A solar water heater (1), a flow counter (21), a water flow switch (22), and an incoming water temperature sensor (23) are upstream in this order in the water passage upstream of the hot water supply heat exchanger (20). A hot water filling valve (24) is inserted in the hot water filling circuit (25) that is sequentially arranged from the side and that connects the hot water supply heat exchanger (20) to the bathtub (3). On the other hand, in the gas circuit (4) to the hot water supply burner (41) for heating the hot water supply heat exchanger (20), the gas source valve (42) is provided.
And a proportional valve (43) on the downstream side of the hot water supply burner (41) are inserted in the vicinity of the burner (41) for hot water supply and the burner (41) for hot water supply is normally installed near the hot water supply burner (41). A combustion monitoring device (B1) is provided for monitoring whether or not combustion is occurring.

Each component such as the ignition device (44) and the combustion monitoring device (B1) is a hot water temperature setting device for setting the filling temperature of the bathtub (3).
It is electrically connected to the control circuit (5) together with (51) and the operation switch (52). In this case, when you set the desired bathing temperature in the hot water temperature setting device (51) and operate the operation switch (52), the hot water filling valve
(24) is opened and the temperature of the water supplied from the solar water heater (1) is detected by the water temperature sensor (23), and the detected water temperature and the desired bath temperature set in the water temperature setting device (51) are set. The temperature difference and the flow rate measured by the flow rate counter (21) are judged, and the hot water for the desired bath temperature is boiled in the hot water heat exchanger (20) while performing so-called feedforward control. Controls the amount of combustion in the burner (41). Then, the cumulative value of the flow rate measured by the flow rate counter (21), that is,

However, in the above-mentioned conventional apparatus, when the water circuit is inspected for water leakage after installation of the equipment, the gas circuit must be completely constructed, and the water circuit cannot be inspected for leakage before the gas construction. was there. The above problems will be described in more detail. When installing a water filling device, it is common to first perform electrical work, then water circuit work, and then gas circuit work. Also, these operations are performed by different vendors.

Therefore, even if an attempt is made to perform a water filling operation to inspect the water circuit for leaks at the time when the construction of the water circuit is completed, the construction of the gas circuit has not been completed.
(B1) outputs a signal indicating the ignition failure of the hot water supply burner (41), which prevents the subsequent filling operation of the bathtub (3) with hot water. From this, in the above-mentioned conventional one, unless all the electric and gas circuit works are completed,
The water leak inspection cannot be conducted when the construction of the water circuit to (3) is completed.

In the above, the amount of water supplied to the bathtub (3) is determined to determine the completion state of the filling.
A water pressure gauge for measuring the water level in the bathtub (3) may be inserted into the water filling circuit (25), and the completion of water filling may be determined by the detected water pressure. Then, in the following, a functional unit that determines whether or not the filling is completed is referred to as a filling completion determination circuit.
(A).

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and is described as "a hot water supply heat exchanger (2) heated by a hot water supply burner (41).

(23) and the filling valve (24) inserted in the filling circuit (25)
And a bath temperature setting device (51) for setting the desired bath temperature, and a bathtub
(3) Filling completion determination means (A) that issues a filling completion signal when the inside of the filling tank is in a completed state and combustion that issues an abnormal combustion signal when the hot water supply burner (41) is in an abnormal combustion state The water temperature of the former is higher than the desired bath temperature of the latter by comparing the water temperature detected by the monitoring device (B1) and the water temperature sensor (23) with the desired bath temperature set by the hot water temperature setting device (51). When a temperature comparator (C) that outputs a fire extinguishing signal is provided, when the above fire extinguishing signal is output from the temperature comparator (C), water is supplied to the bathtub (3) with the hot water burner (41) extinguished. While continuing the operation,
When the water filling completion signal from the water filling completion determination circuit (A) or the abnormal signal from the combustion monitoring device (B1) occurs, the gas supply to the hot water supply burner (41) is stopped and the water filling valve (24). The problem is to be able to inspect the water circuit for leaks even when the construction of the gas circuit for the hot water supply burner (1) has not been completed. [Invention of Claim 1]

[0010]

[0011]

The above technical means operates as follows. When the test switch (6) is operated to start the filling operation, the operation signal of the test switch (6) is applied to the OR circuit (61) and the signal is output from the circuit. That is, regardless of the output of the temperature comparator (C) that compares the desired bath temperature set in the hot water temperature setting device (51) with the water temperature detected by the water temperature sensor (23),
When the test switch (6) is operated, a signal is output from the OR circuit. Then, when there is a signal from the OR circuit, the water supply operation to the bathtub (3) is continued while the gas supply to the hot water supply burner (41) is stopped. B1) does not detect abnormal combustion of the hot water supply burner (41), and the water filling valve (24) is not closed by the signal of the combustion monitoring device (B1). Therefore, the water supply operation to the bathtub (3) can be performed even when the hot water supply burner (41) is not provided with a gas pipe.

After that, when the inside of the bathtub (3) is filled with water, the water filling valve (24) is closed by the signal from the water filling completion judging means (A) for detecting the same as in the conventional one. The test hot water filling operation is completed.

[0013]

The invention of claim 1 has the following unique effects. Bathtub (3) even before the construction of the gas circuit is completed
Since the water supply operation to the water circuit can be performed, the water circuit can be inspected for water leakage even in a state where the construction of the gas circuit is not completed.

The incoming water temperature T1 is set to a temperature (80 ° C. is adopted in this embodiment) higher than the maximum temperature that can be set by. That is, the specific memory in the microcomputer is set to the above 80 ° C. After that, the magnitude relationship between the water temperature T1 and the desired bath temperature T2 is compared (see drawing code (753)). Then, since the incoming water temperature T1 is set to a temperature higher than the maximum temperature that can be set by the hot water temperature setting device (51), the step of the drawing code (76) is executed and the gas source valve (42) is turned on. The water filling operation can be continued while the valve is closed. That is, the filling operation of the bathtub (3) is advanced while the hot water supply burner (41) is kept in a fire extinguishing state.
