Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To sustain an optimal surface temperature by providing a plurality of heaters arranged in a heating unit, and a temperature detector therefor integrated with the heater and then controlling the temperature of the plurality of heaters sequentially thereby detecting the temperature accurately. SOLUTION: When the temperature of an electric carpet is varied through heating of a heater 1, impedance of a temperature-sensitive material 3 is varied to cause variation in the current flowing from a temperature detecting line 2 to a heater 1. The temperature variation is detected in the form of temperature signal by a temperature detecting means 7. Since impedance of the material 3 decreases as the heater temperature increases when a relay 4 is turned on, current increases and the temperature detection signal decreased. When the temperature detection signal becomes smaller than a temperature set signal, a comparison means 6 delivers a set temperature arrival signal to a temperature control means 8 and turns the relay 4 off. Consequently, current does not flow and the means 7 delivers a constant High voltage.

[0004] As an example, a case of a two-surface heater will be described. As a technique for controlling ON / OFF of two heaters, two heaters are simultaneously turned ON / OFF and alternately ON / OF.
F. This is because if one heater has a wattage of 400 W and is turned ON / OFF at the same time,
A total of 800 W of 400 W + 400 W at the time of ON and 0 Watts at the time of OFF are repeated. Assuming that the voltage of the AC power supply is 100 V, a commercial power contract capacity of up to about 8 A per electric carpet is required. In recent years, the contracted capacity of ordinary households has increased from 30A to 50A, but the power consumption of electrical appliances other than electric carpet has also increased, such as when an electric carpet and an air conditioner are used at the same time. The contract capacity may be exceeded and the breaker may go down.

On the other hand, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 62-190330 and Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 7-107654, when a plurality of heaters are alternately turned on / off, only 400 W is provided at any timing. Since power is supplied to the device, the rate of breaker down is reduced, and it has become possible to use the device together with other devices having large power consumption.

(1) In the case of the two-wire system in which the temperature detection line and the heater are separately wired, a felt is interposed between the heater and the temperature detection line. The distance between the heater and the temperature detection line cannot be narrowed structurally below the diameter of the detection line.

As shown in FIG. 13, it takes a certain period of time for heat generated by the heater to be conducted to the temperature detection line via the felt. For this reason, the heater must be kept ON or OFF at least during this fixed time.

In the case of the two-wire system, since the heater and the temperature detection line are far apart, a long detection time is required to detect the temperature, and the required minimum ON time and OFF time of the heater are prolonged. In the case of sequentially controlling the temperature of a plurality of heaters, if one heater has a longer ON time, the other heaters have a longer OFF time. At this time, there is a problem that the surface temperature of the turned-off current-carrying surface is reduced, the surface temperature differential is increased, and the user is uncomfortable.

(2) The conventional technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-107654 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 (a)
FIG. 14 is an explanatory view of the operation of alternate energization of the planar heating device having two heaters. When the set temperature is reached before the predetermined time (α shown in FIG. The control is sequentially switched to the energization control to other heaters prior to the elapse of the predetermined time. FIG. 14B is an explanatory diagram of the alternate energization of the planar heating device when another heating device is used or in a situation where the room temperature is high such as early spring, and the set temperature is reached within a predetermined time. (Β shown in FIG. 14B) occurs. At this time, the ON / OFF time of an element such as a relay that controls the energization of the heaters A and B is a time (β) until the set temperature is reached, and the ON / OFF of the relay is performed.
The number of FFs increases. As a result, there has been a problem that the relay life is shortened due to the transfer phenomenon of the relay contacts.

In the prior art disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-190330, when a heater ON / OFF signal is output, a timing circuit divides the ON cycle time (constant time) of the two heaters, and the first half is divided into one cycle. The energization control of the heater (for example, heater A) is performed, and the other heater (for example, heater B) is kept off. In the latter half, the energization control of the heater B is performed, and the heater A is kept OFF. In an environment where the room temperature is relatively high, since the heater ON / OFF signal is not output, both the heaters A and B are turned off, and the heater ON / OFF signal is output when the temperature of the electric carpet decreases, and the heater is energized. Perform control. At this time, the heater A performs the energization control in the first half, and the heater B is OFF during this time. This means that the heater B cannot be energized because the heater A is in the energization control time even if the temperature of the heater B is lowered to the temperature at which the heater B should be turned on. Had a problem that it would be uncomfortable.

(3) Further, in order to meet the social demand for providing a comfortable and easy-to-use one for the user, the temperature of the entire electric carpet is averaged and the surface temperature is quickly increased to the set temperature. Although it is necessary to start up, there is a problem in that the temperature control of the heater is shortened during the alternate power supply control, and the heater temperature difference occurs unless the heater switching is performed quickly.
Further, at this time, the relay for energizing the heater is turned on.
/ OFF frequency increased, and there was a fear that the contact of the relay was welded.

(4) In addition, when the outlet into which the power plug of the electric carpet is inserted is away from the power inlet into the home, or when an extension wire or the like is used, the wiring status of the power line is changed. In a bad case, the impedance of the power supply line becomes about 2Ω. When the heaters are alternately turned ON / OFF under such a power line wiring condition, it is assumed that a current of at least about 4 A flows due to a difference between ON and OFF timings of the heater A and the heater B, and the power supply voltage is shortly applied. Will fluctuate by about 8V.
Fluctuations in the power supply voltage in conjunction with ON / OFF of the heater have a problem of causing flickering of the lighting equipment.

When the temperature of the electric carpet body changes due to the heat generated by the heater 1, the impedance of the temperature sensitive material 3 changes, and the current flowing from the temperature detection line 2 to the heater 1 changes. This current change is taken out as a temperature signal, and the temperature detection means 7 detects the temperature. FIG. 4 shows the characteristics of the temperature detection signal and the heater temperature. When the relay 4 is ON, the impedance of the temperature-sensitive material 3 decreases as the heater temperature increases, so that the current increases and the temperature detection signal decreases (FIG. 4D). When the temperature detection signal becomes smaller than the temperature setting signal, a signal indicating that the set temperature has been reached is input from the comparing means 6 to the temperature control means 8, and the relay 4 is turned off. In the case of the block configuration as shown in FIG. 1, no current flows when the relay 4 is in the OFF state, so that the detection signal of the temperature detecting means is H
The i voltage becomes constant (arrow in FIG. 4A). O when relay is OFF
The FF timer (not shown) keeps OFF for a certain period of time (FIG. 4B). When the OFF timer elapses a predetermined time (for example, 1.5 minutes), the relay 4 is turned on and the temperature control is started again (FIG. 4C).

In this embodiment, a so-called one-wire system employing a temperature-sensitive heater wire is employed. Since the temperature of the heating element is detected, the reaction of the temperature detection is fast, and the range of temperature change is large. This means that the temperature can be accurately detected in a short time, and the ON time of the relay 4 can be set short. The fact that the ON time of the relay-4 can be set shorter during the alternate current supply control used for preventing breaker down, etc.
Can be set to be short, the differential of the heater can be reduced, and a comfortable surface temperature can be maintained.

FIG. 6 shows an OFF timer and an ONmin timer, O
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an operation of a heater by an Nmax timer. The timer means 10 starts counting from the time when the heater A or the heater B is turned on. As a result of comparison between the temperature detecting means 7 and the temperature setting means 5 by the comparing means 6, the count value of the timer means 10 has passed for a certain period of time (for example, 1.5 minutes; ONmax timer in FIG. 6) before reaching the set temperature. At times, the temperature control is switched to heater B. When the heater is switched, the count value of the timer means 10 is initialized to 0 and the heater B is turned on. The heater B is kept for a certain time (for example, 10 seconds).
The ON min timer (FIG. 6) forcibly keeps the heater ON regardless of the result of the comparing means 6. Therefore, the ON time of each heater at the time of the alternate energization is 10 seconds to 1.5 minutes. If the set temperature is reached during this time, turn off the heater
Then switch to the next heater. Each heater continues to be OFF for a certain period of time using an OFF timer (not shown) (for example, 1.5 minutes, OFF timer in FIG. 6). When a power switch (not shown) for energizing the electric carpet is operated, energization from the heater A starts. At the start of energization, ON is continued until the ONmin timer elapses, and the temperature comparison is performed from the elapse of the ONmin timer. Set temperature is reached or O
When the Nmax timer has elapsed, the heater A is turned off, and the temperature control is switched to the heater B. The heater B continues to be ON until the ONmin timer elapses in the same manner as the heater A, and then the heater B is turned off after the set temperature is reached or the ONmax timer elapses.

Continue FF. The heater B is turned on when the OFF time of the heater B has elapsed 1.5 minutes, and the energization control is performed. Also,
Since the OFF time of the heater B has already passed when the ONmax of the heater A has elapsed, the heater A is turned off and the switching to the heater B is performed immediately.

That is, since the heater B is OFF while the heater A is energized and the ONmax timer elapses or reaches the set temperature, the surface temperature does not increase, and the temperature difference between the heater A and the heater B increases. Therefore, when starting up,
The Nmax timer had to be set relatively short, 1.5 minutes. However, after 15 minutes from the start of energization,
When the temperature reaches 5 ° C, the electric carpet body is already warm enough, so even if the ONmax timer is extended to 3 minutes, the temperature difference between heater A and heater B is not uncomfortable for the user,
Further, the life of the relay can be extended.
