In this state, if a power source not shown is turned on, C
The PU 145 starts control according to the flowchart shown in FIG. That is, first, the initial value "1" is set in the register HR (SA1), and the register KR is set.
The initial value "5" is set to (SA2). Next, this H
The segments indicated by R and KR are turned on (SA3). 1 (space "4 tatami")
And segment NO. 5 (the leftmost arrow indicating the ventilation rate) and lights up.

Next, it is judged whether or not the space setting SW 151 is turned on (SA4), and if it is not turned on, the process proceeds to SA8 without executing the judgment process of SA5 to SA7. However, when the user operates the space setting button 149 to turn on the space setting SW 151,
From SA4 to SA5, it is determined whether or not HR = 4.
When HR = 4, the initial value "1" is set in HR (SA6), and when HR = 4, the value of HR is incremented (SA7). Therefore, the HR value changes in the range from the initial value “1” to the maximum value “4” each time the space setting SW 151 is turned on by the operation of the space setting button 149, and becomes the changed HR value. Corresponding NO. The segment is lighted by the process of SA12 described later.

Further, when the space setting SW 151 is OFF and after the processing of SA6 or SA7 is performed, it is judged whether or not the ventilation rate setting SW 152 is ON (SA
8) If not ON, the process proceeds to SA12 without executing the determination process of SA9 to SA11. When the ventilation rate setting SW 152 is turned on by the user operating the ventilation rate setting button 150, the process proceeds from SA8 to SA9 to determine whether or not KR = 8. When KR = 8, the initial value “5” is set in KR (SA1
0), and if KR = 8 is not satisfied, the value of KR is incremented (SA11). Therefore, the value of KR changes in the range from the initial value "5" to the maximum value "8" every time the ventilation rate setting switch 152 is turned on by operating the ventilation rate setting button 149. Subsequently, the No. corresponding to the values of HR and KR changed in this way. The segment is turned on (SA12).

Next, it is judged whether or not the evaporation instruction SW 142 is turned on (SA13), and if it is not turned on, the process returns to SA4. When the user operates the evaporation instruction button 140 to turn on the evaporation instruction SW 142, after performing the evaporation process (SA14), it is determined whether the evaporation instruction SW 142 is turned on again. And
As long as the evaporation instruction SW 142 continues to be in the OFF state, SA1
The evaporation process is continued by repeating the loop of 4 → SA15 → SA14, and when the user operates the evaporation instruction button 140, when the evaporation instruction SW 142 is turned on, the evaporation process is terminated and the process returns to SA4.

The evaporation process (SA14) is executed according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 7, and the evaporation thermistor 118 is first energized (SB1). Next, the value of HR is determined, and if HR = 1 (SB2 is YES), “120” is stored in the register T (SB3), and HR = 2.
If it is (SB4 is YES), "240" is stored (SB5). When HR = 3 (SB6 is Y
"360" is stored in ES) (SB7), and if HR = 4 (SB2, SB4, SB6 are NO), "48" is stored.
0 "is stored (SB8).

Corresponding steps SB3, S
In B5, SB7, SB8, after storing the value of T according to the value of HR, in SB9 that follows, activate the timer for 1 second,
When 1 second has elapsed, T is decremented (SB10),
Then, it is determined whether or not the evaporation instruction SW 142 is turned on (SB11). If the evaporation instruction SW 142 is not ON, it is determined whether T = 0 (SB12), and if T ≠ 0, the process returns to SB9. Therefore, as long as the evaporation instruction SW 142 continues to be in the off state,
The loop of SB9 to SB12 is repeated until T = 0. Therefore, the state in which the evaporation thermistor 118 is on during that period continues for T seconds. Then, when T = 0 and T seconds have elapsed, the process proceeds from SB12 to SB13 to stop the energization of the evaporation thermistor 118.

Next, the value of KR is discriminated. When KR = 8 (SB14 is YES), "30" is stored in the register T.
0 "is stored (SB15), and if KR = 7 (SB
“600” is stored in 16 (YES) (SB1
7). When KR = 6 (SB18 is YES)
"900" is stored in (SB19), and if KR = 5 (SB14, SB16, SB18 are NO), "1" is stored.
200 "is stored (SB20).

Then, in steps SB15, SB17,
At SB19 and SB20, after the value of T is stored according to the value of KR, at SB21 that follows, the timer is started for 1 second,
When 1 second has elapsed, T is decremented (SB22),
Then, it is determined whether or not the evaporation instruction SW 142 is turned on (SB23). When the evaporation instruction SW 142 is not ON, it is determined whether T = 0 (SB24), and when T ≠ 0, the process returns to SB9. Therefore, as long as the evaporation instruction SW 142 continues to be in the off state,
The loop of SB21 to SB24 is repeated until T = 0. Therefore, the state in which the evaporation thermistor 118 is off during that time continues for T seconds. Then, when T = 0 and T seconds have elapsed, the process returns from SB24 to SB1 and the determination process from SB1 is repeated.

That is, in this embodiment, if the value of HR is set by operating the space setting button 149 and KR is set by operating the ventilation rate setting button 150, T = 120 to 480 corresponding to the value of HR. , T according to the value of KR
= 300 to 1200 is set. Then, the evaporation thermistor 118 heats up for T seconds according to the value of T corresponding to HR, and then stops heating for T seconds according to the value of T corresponding to KR. Therefore, the evaporation thermistor 118
Is intermittent with a cycle consisting of a combination of ON time from 120 seconds (2 minutes) to 480 seconds (8 minutes) and any OFF time from 300 seconds (5 minutes) to 1200 seconds (20 minutes). To heat up. Therefore, the protruding portion 1 of the liquid absorbent core 133
35 (see FIG. 1) is also intermittently heated in the same cycle, and the chemical liquid 132 leaching into the liquid absorbent core 133 is intermittently evaporated.

When the evaporation thermistor 118 is energized or intermittently energized,
When the user operates the evaporation instruction button 140 to turn on the evaporation instruction SW 142, the process returns from SB11 or SB23 to SA4 in FIG. Therefore, by operating the evaporation instruction button 140 while the evaporation thermistor 118 is operating intermittently according to the flow of FIG. 7, the intermittent operation state of the evaporation thermistor 118 can be stopped.

The first evaporation thermistor 115 is energized (SC6).
Next, it is determined whether or not HR = 3 (SC7), and HR
If = 3, “120” is stored in T (SC
8), if HR ≠ (inevitably HR = 4), then T
"240" is stored in (SC9).

Corresponding steps SC3, S
In C5, SC7, and SC8, after storing the value of T (“120” or “240”) according to the value of HR, the subsequent SC
In 10 (FIG. 15), the timer is started for 1 second, T is decremented when 1 second has elapsed (SC11), and then it is determined whether the evaporation instruction SW 142 is turned ON (SC12). If the transpiration instruction SW 142 is not ON, it is determined whether or not T = 0 (SC
13), if T ≠ 0, return to SC10. Therefore, as long as the evaporation instruction SW 142 continues to be in the off state, T
The loop of SC10 to SC13 is repeated until = 0. Therefore, during that time, the state in which the first evaporation thermistor 15 or the second evaporation thermistor 18 is on continues for T seconds. Then, when T = 0 and T seconds have elapsed, the process proceeds from SC13 to SC14, and the energization of the first evaporation thermistor 15 or the second evaporation thermistor 18 which has been in the ON state is stopped.

Next, the value of KR is discriminated. If KR = 8 (SC15 is YES), the register T is set to "30".
0 "is stored (SC16), and if KR = 7 (SC
“600” is stored in 17 (YES) (SC1
8). When KR = 6 (SC19 is YES)
"900" is stored in (SC20), and when KR = 5 (SC15, SC17, SC19 are NO), "1" is stored.
200 "is stored (SC20).

Then, each step SC16, SC18,
In SC20 and SC21, after the value of T is stored according to the value of KR, in SC22 that follows, activate the timer for 1 second,
When 1 second has passed, T is decremented (SC23),
Then, it is determined whether or not the evaporation instruction SW 142 is turned on (SC24). If the evaporation instruction SW 142 is not ON, it is determined whether T = 0 (SC25), and if T ≠ 0, the process returns to SC22.
Therefore, as long as the evaporation instruction SW 142 continues to be in the off state, the loop of SC22 to SC25 is repeated until T = 0. Therefore, during that time, the state in which the both evaporation thermistors 15 and 18 are off continues for T seconds. Then, when T = 0 and T seconds have elapsed, the process returns from SC24 to SC1, and the determination process from SC1 is repeated.

That is, in this embodiment, the value of HR is set by operating the space setting button 149, and the first or the first evaporation thermistor 15, 18 is energized as follows according to the value of HR =. .

HR = 1 (when 4 tatami mats are specified): Second
The evaporation thermistor 18 is intermittently turned on for 2 minutes, HR = 2 (when 6 tatami mats are specified): The second evaporation thermistor 18 is turned on for 4 minutes, HR = 3 (when 8 tatami mats is specified): 1st evaporation For thermistor 15 for 2 minutes, HR = 4 (when 12 tatami is specified): The first transpiration thermistor 18 is turned on for 4 minutes.

At this time, as described with reference to FIG. 12, in the first evaporation thermistor 15, since the heat generation temperature is higher than that in the second evaporation thermistor 18, HR = 4.
Therefore, when 12 tatami mats are designated, the first evaporation thermistor 15 having a high heat generation temperature operates for 4 minutes to generate a transpiration amount suitable for the widest 12 tatami space. When HR = 3 and 8 tatami mats are specified,
The first evaporation thermistor 15 having a high heat generation temperature generates heat for 2 minutes, which is shorter than that of the case of 12 tatami mats.
The amount of transpiration that matches the space of the tatami mat is secured. Furthermore, HR =
When 2 and 6 tatami mats are designated, the second evaporation thermistor 18, which has a low exothermic temperature, operates for 4 minutes to generate heat, so that the amount of transpiration suitable for the space of 6 tatami mats is ensured and HR = 1 and 4 When a tatami mat is designated, the second evaporation thermistor 18, which has a low exothermic temperature, performs a heat generation operation for 2 minutes, which is shorter than in the case of a 6 tatami mat, thereby ensuring the amount of transpiration suitable for the narrowest 4 tatami space.

Since the time during which the evaporation thermistors 15 and 18 stop generating heat is determined by the value of KR, the user considers the ventilation state of the space, and when the ventilation state is extremely good. Is KR = 8 (T = 30
0), when ventilation is good, KR = 7 (T = 60
0), KR = 8 (T = 30 when ventilation is poor)
0), KR = 7 (T = 6 when ventilation is extremely poor)
00) is set. As a result, when the ventilation condition is good, the heat generation stop time is long, and when the ventilation condition is bad, the heat generation stop time is short, so that excessive transpiration is also suppressed.

In the embodiment, 4, 6, 8, 1
Although a space of two tatami mats is displayed and one of them is selected, the type of space is not limited to this, and a plurality of spaces may be displayed and designated.
