Abstract

PURPOSE:To simply turn a heater on even in the heater-off time zone by a timer function. CONSTITUTION:An automatic tea feeding machine automatically turning a heater 14 on or off at the time set by a timer function in advance is provided with a selector switch 7 switching the validness/invalidness of the timer operation mode. When the switch 7 is switched to the invalidness side during the timer operation mode, the heater 14 can be continuously turned on regardless of the time. The heater 14 can be optionally turned on while the time setting of a timer is not changed, and the automatic tea feeding machine can be simply used at the office work on a holiday.

However, when it is desired to use the tea dispenser whose heater is off by the timer function, such as when going to work on a holiday, the conventional tea dispenser can turn on the heater without changing the timer setting. In particular, there is an inconvenience that the tea dispenser cannot be used by a person who does not know how to set the timer. Also, if you try to avoid it, you have to kill the timer function and directly plug in and unplug the power plug, but that will not make full use of the timer function. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a tea dispenser capable of arbitrarily turning on the heater as needed even when the heater is off by the timer function.

When the operation mode key 5 is pressed, the operation mode is switched to endless in the order of continuous operation (heater always on), continuous stop (heater always off), and timer operation.
In the timer operation mode, "timer is operating" is displayed on the timer operating indicator 12. Timer setting key 6 is timer 1
To set the current time to the memory 2 and to set the on / off time of the heater 14 to the memory 2. The timer setting key 6 includes a current time key, a reservation key, a set key, and a numeric key, which are not shown. Has been. When the current time key is pressed, the time display of the time display 13 blinks. Therefore, enter the hour and minute of the current time with the numeric keys, and then press the set key to set the timer 1.

When the reservation key is pressed, the time display 13
Since the heater ON time and the heater OFF time appear and blink, the ON / OFF time of the heater 14 is similarly set in the memory 2 using the numeric keys and the set key. This time display is automatically switched to the current time display after a fixed time, for example, 30 seconds. Heater on / off time is 1 week,
In other words, it can be set seven times in a row. Therefore, it is turned on / on weekends and other days corresponding to holidays.
The OFF setting time is set to the state of 00:00 to 00:00 so that the heater 14 is turned off all day. Now, assuming that the heater on / off time is set and the operation mode is the timer operation, the control operation associated with the changeover of the changeover switch 7 will be described with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 2, the CPU 3 is a changeover switch 7
Is checked whether it is an invalid side or a valid side (step S1), and if it is a valid side, "timer is operating" is displayed on the timer operating indicator 11 (step S2) and the current time of the timer 1 is stored in the memory 2. It is checked whether the heater is on (step S3). And if the heater is on time, relay 1
0 is turned on to turn on the heater 14 (step S4). If it is not on time, the relay 10 is turned off to turn off the heater 14 (step S6). When the heater 14 is turned on in step S4, it is then checked whether the current time of the timer 1 has reached the heater off time stored in the memory 2 (step S5). When the off time comes, the heater 14 is turned off and the process goes to step S1. Return (step S6). If it is not the off time, the heater 14 is continuously turned on (step S

On the other hand, if the changeover switch 7 is set to the invalid side in step S1, the display of "timer in operation" on the timer in-operation display 12 is erased (step S7), and at the same time, the heater 14 is activated.
Is turned on (step S8). After that, if it is found in step S1 that the changeover switch 7 has been switched to the valid side, "timer is operating" is displayed on the timer operating indicator 12 and the mode is returned to the timer operating mode again (step S1).
2). Needless to say, the on / off control of the heater 13 is performed not only by the operation mode described above but also by a temperature adjusting thermostat (not shown).
