【発明の詳細な説明】 産業上の利用分野 本発明は停電時間に応じて燃焼器具を安全に動作させる
燃焼器具の停電安全装置に関するものである。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a power failure safety device for a combustion appliance that safely operates the combustion appliance in accordance with a power failure time.

要なことである。Conventional technology Generally, in a combustion appliance that requires a power source, if a power failure occurs during use of the combustion appliance, the operation of the combustion appliance stops along with the power failure, and the combustion appliance does not restart even when the power is restored after the power failure. That is necessary for safety in combustion appliances.

号により燃焼器具を安全に停止させるものであった。That is, a power outage occurs and the combustion appliance stops its operation,
It is unfavorable from a safety point of view that if the power switch is turned on as it is and is forgotten to be turned off, and the power failure ends, the combustion device automatically operates to start combustion. On the other hand, for an extremely short power failure that humans do not notice, if the combustion appliance is stopped each time, it can only be judged as a malfunction by the user and the usability is poor, so The power outage safety device is equipped with a power supply backup capacitor and a voltage detector for the power supply necessary for the combustion appliance to operate normally. In case of a power failure for a certain period of time, the signal from the voltage detector was used to safely stop the combustion appliance.
発明が解決しようとする問題点 しかし従来の構成では、人間が停電に気付く限界時間0.

あった。Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the conventional configuration, the limit time for humans to notice a power failure is 0.
Only about 1 to 0.2 seconds can continue the operation of the combustion appliance against a power failure, and also an extremely large backup capacitor is required for that, and depending on the load of the power supply of the combustion appliance, the human being will lose power. However, there is a problem in that the operation of the combustion instrument cannot be continued even for the limit time, and the usability is poor, and the user mistakenly thinks it is a malfunction.

を提供することを目的とする。In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention continues the operation of a combustion appliance for a power failure for an extremely short time, and for a power failure for a time longer than that, which makes it difficult for humans to notice the power failure, a power failure. It is an object of the present invention to provide a power failure safety device for a combustion appliance that does not operate even when the power failure ends even if the power consumption of the combustion appliance restarts automatically after the end of the power failure.

In the event of a power failure, the operation of the combustion appliance is once stopped by the signal of the voltage detector of the power source of the solenoid valve, which makes it impossible to continue operation, and the operation determining means in the microcomputer.
After that, when the power failure is over and the power is restored, the combustion appliances are automatically restarted, and if the power failure continues for a longer time, the power supply voltage of the microcomputer also drops, and the signal of the voltage detector and the operation determining means in the microcomputer. As a result, even if the operation of the burning appliance is completely stopped and the power is restored after the power failure, the burning appliance remains stopped.

ロコンピュータ１に伝える。Simultaneously with the occurrence of the power failure, the voltage V DD of the power source 2 of the microcomputer 1 and the voltage V CC of the power source 5 of the solenoid valve 6 drop by the backup capacitors 3 and 7 according to the discharge curve as shown in FIG. Here, the power consumption of the solenoid valve 6 is much larger than that of the microcomputer 1, and therefore the time constant of the voltage drop of V CC is much smaller than the second constant of the voltage drop of V DD . From power failure to V
The time required for CC to reach the minimum operable voltage V CO of the solenoid valve 6 is t1, and at this time, the voltage detector 8 transmits the signal to the microcomputer 1, while similarly V DD is the minimum operable voltage of the microcomputer 1. The time required to reach the voltage V DD is t2, and the voltage detector 4 transmits the signal to the microcomputer 1 at this time.

ることができる。Here, if the power failure time is t1 or less, there is no signal from the two voltage detectors 4 and 8 and the combustion appliance will therefore continue to operate. Next, if the power failure time is t1 or more and t2 or less,
After t1 from the power failure, the voltage detector 8 detects the voltage drop of V CC , the signal is input to the microcomputer 1, the microcomputer 1 outputs a signal to stop the solenoid valve 6, and stops the operation of the combustion appliance, After the power failure is completed, the power source is restored, the voltage detector 8 detects that the V CC has become equal to or higher than V CO , and when the signal is input to the microcomputer 1, the microcomputer 1 operates the combustion appliance again. Output a signal. When the power failure time is longer and t2 or more, the operation of the combustion appliance is stopped after t1 as described above, the voltage detector 4 detects the voltage drop of V DD after t2, and the signal is input to the microcomputer 1. It When this signal is input, the microcomputer 1 can keep the operation of the combustion appliance stopped even after the power is restored and the power is restored.

With a microcomputer, in the event of a power outage that makes it difficult for humans to notice the power outage, the combustion equipment can be stopped once, and the equipment can be automatically restarted as soon as the power supply is restored after the power outage. It is not mistaken by the user as a malfunction. In addition, for longer power outages, even if the power is restored after a power outage, the burner can be left stopped, even if the user forgets that the burner was in use. It is safe because the burner does not operate after power failure.
