Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide comfortable heating temperature by setting the duration time of the maximum temperature according to the count time elapsed by reaching the maximum temperature from set temperature. CONSTITUTION: A temperature controller has a first timer (22) which counts the time (t1 ) required until the temperature of a heater (1) reaches the maximum temperature from set temperature, and a second timer (23) which sets the time (t2 ) continuing the maximum temperature based on the time (t1 ) counted. The counted time (t1 ) and the continuing time (t2 ) are set so as to have a reverse proportional relation to obtain comfortable heating according to the variation of the outdoor temperature.

When the temperature desired by the user is set by the temperature setting knob and the heater is energized, the heater is initially energized and heated, and when the temperature of the instrument body reaches the set temperature, the heat generation amount of the heater is controlled. I try to maintain it at the set temperature.

Also, especially in the midwinter when the outside air temperature is low, or when the user enters from the cold outdoors and collects heat with the main body of the appliance, the temperature set by the temperature setting knob is set to "strong" because the warmth feels insufficient. Set to to keep warm and normally maintain this "strong" state for a while, then operate the temperature setting knob again to select "strong" to "medium" according to the desired temperature.
Alternatively, the set temperature is lowered to "weak" to collect heat.

However, in the above-described method of collecting heat, the user first needs to fully warm in the "strong" state and then reach out to the cold atmosphere to operate the temperature setting knob. It is troublesome and has the drawback that the warmed hands are put into the cold atmosphere by the operation to cause chills.

However, in the patent publications listed in the prior art as described above, the high temperature is maintained in a short time after the start of energization to the heater, and although it is not described in detail, the high temperature is reached.

That is, when the outside temperature is low and the "strong start control" is performed, it takes a long time to reach the high temperature, so that the duration at the high temperature is felt to be long and the continuous high temperature is uncomfortable. Not only that, but also the long residence time in the high temperature region at the beginning of energization, the long maintenance time at the high temperature, and the risk of low-temperature burns occurred.

Next, the operation will be described. First, when the set temperature is set to "medium" when the outside air temperature is high, when the AC power supply (AC) is applied, the output of the voltage conversion circuit (6) is initially high because the impedance of the temperature sensor (4) is large. The voltage is small, the output of the comparison circuit (16) becomes "H", the output of the microcomputer (21) also becomes "H", the transistor (29) is turned on by the operation circuit (28), and the relay (30) is energized. The contact (2) is turned on to energize the heater (1).

When the temperature of the heater (1) rises and reaches the maximum temperature ("strong"), the first timer (22)
The memory circuit stores the time measured (t 1 ) required to reach the maximum temperature timed by the memory circuit. The time measured at this time becomes longer when the outside temperature is high. On the other hand, since the storage circuit (26) has a relatively short timekeeping time (t 1 ), the subsequent maximum temperature duration (t 2 ) is set to be longer than the timekeeping time. (Refer to FIG. 2) When the maximum temperature is reached, measurement of the duration (t 2 ) determined by the second timer (23) is started and the display drive circuit (31) is driven to turn on the high temperature display (32). It lights up and indicates that it is a "high temperature start".

When the second timer (23) finishes measuring the duration time (t 2 ), the output of the microcomputer (21) becomes “L” and the transistor (29) is turned off to turn on the relay contact (2). Turn off and cut off power to heater (1). For this reason, when the temperature of the heater (1) drops and drops to the set temperature, the heater (1) is energized again to perform temperature control of the set temperature (“medium”).

When the temperature of the heater (1) reaches the set temperature, the time (t 1 ) until the first timer (22) reaches the maximum temperature is relatively long. Therefore, the duration of the maximum temperature thereafter (t 2) ) Is set shorter than the clock time. (See FIG. 3) Of course, in this case as well, the high temperature indicator (32) is turned on during the “high temperature start” and the second timer (23) is activated.
When the duration (t 2 ) of the maximum temperature due to is finished, the temperature of the heater (1) is lowered and controlled at the set temperature.

As described above, according to the present invention, the duration of the maximum temperature by the second timer is set on the basis of the time measured from the temperature set by the first timer to the maximum temperature, and the time measured and the duration are inversely proportional. Since the maximum temperature duration is shortened when the outside temperature is low, the residence time at high temperature is shortened to prevent the human body from being exposed to higher temperatures than necessary, and low temperature burns and discomfort Can be prevented.

That is, when the outside air temperature is low, the high temperature region remains long until the maximum temperature is reached.
At this point the user is already warm. Therefore, the duration at the maximum temperature does not need to be that long, and control can be performed with a duration that is commensurate with this.

When the outside air temperature is high, the maximum temperature continues for a long time. Therefore, it is possible to lengthen the residence time at a high temperature and perform the warming at a high temperature according to the set temperature.

That is, when the outside air temperature is high, the high temperature region until it reaches the maximum temperature is passed in a short time, and although the high temperature is originally required, the set temperature is set high. Without enough warmth. Therefore, the warmth can be supplemented by prolonging the duration at the maximum temperature.
