Abstract

PURPOSE:To secure the operation regardless of forgotten turning on of a timer start switch, by a method wherein after the setting of time for a timer, a set up timer is started to set up and then, the timer automatically starts operation. CONSTITUTION:When a user starts setting the time with a time setting section 1, a timer stopping section 2 stops the operation of a timer 3. The moment a setting input is applied to the time setting section 1, a setup timer start section 4 starts a setup timer 5. But when a new setting input is given before the setting up of the time, a setup timer resetting section 6 resets the timer 5 and the start section 4 starts the timer 5. As a predetermined time elaspes after the last setting input is given, the timer 5 is set up and outputs a signal for the completion of the time setting to a timer start section 7 to starts the operation of the timer 3.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a timer setting device for equipment having a timer.

2. Description of the Related Art The entire structure of a conventional timer setting device for equipment having a timer is shown in FIG.

When the user starts setting the time using the time setting section 1, the timer stop section 2 stops the operation of the timer 3. When the user finishes setting the time, the user presses the timer start switch 16.
By turning on, the timer start section 7 starts the operation of the timer 3. When the set time has elapsed, the timer 3 outputs a signal to the device control section 8, and the device control section 8 outputs a control signal to the device 9.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the conventional configuration described above, there is a possibility that the user forgets to turn on the timer start switch after setting the time, and the device does not start or stop operation because the timer does not operate. There was a problem.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the problems, the present invention includes a timer, a device control section that controls the device based on the output from the timer, and a time setting section that inputs the setting time of the timer. The time setting section includes a timer stop section that stops the operation of the timer during time setting, a set-up timer section that starts at the same time as a setting input is received in the time setting section, and a set-up timer section that starts when the set-up timer is set up. The device is configured to include a timer start section that drives the timer when the timer is activated.

Function: With this configuration, the Sera I up timer starts after the time setting is completed, and the timer automatically starts operating after setup.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 regarding a system for stopping the operation of equipment after a set time has elapsed. When the user starts setting the time using the time setting section 1,
The timer stop unit 2 stops the operation of the timer 3. The set-up timer reset section 6 starts the set-up timer 5 at the same time that a setting input is made to the time setting section 1. resets the set-up timer 5 (71-), and the set-up timer start section 4 starts all of the set-up timers 5. Since the set-up timer 5 is reset and started as soon as the setting is input, the user can continue setting the time for a long time. When a predetermined time has elapsed since the last setting input, the set-up timer 5
is set up, outputs a time setting completion signal to the timer start section 7, and the timer start section 7 starts the timer 3.
start the operation. When the set time has elapsed, the timer 3 outputs a signal to the device control section 8, and the device control section 8 stops the operation of the device 9. The flow of the above operation is shown in the flowchart of FIG.

Next, a specific example will be described using FIG. 3.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of a timer cut gas burner. The user sets the timer by operating the timer setting switch 1o, the timer setting switch 11, and the timer setting switch 12, and looking at the display 13. The timer setting switch 10 sets the upper digits of the timer, the timer setting switch 11 sets the middle digits of the timer, and the timer setting switch 12 sets the lower digits of the timer. Timer setting switch 10, timer setting switch 11,
When the user presses any of the timer setting switches 12, the set-up timer starts, and before setting up, if the user presses any of the timer setting switches 1o, 11, timer setting switch 7, 12, At the same time, the set-up timer that is in operation is reset and starts anew. Until Sera I is up, timer setting switch 10, timer setting switch 1
1. If none of the timer setting switches 12 are pressed, the timer 3 starts, and when the set time elapses, a signal is output to the valve control section 8, the valve 14 is closed, and the burner 15 stops combustion.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the timer setting device of the present invention provides the following effects.

(1) The timer is configured to automatically turn off when the set-up timer is set up after the time setting is completed, so there is no danger that the user will forget to turn on the timer start switch and the timer will not operate. It has the effect of increasing safety.

(2) Since the timer starts automatically, there is no need for a timer start switch, and the operation part for setting the time is not complicated and can be easily operated.
