Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the safety of control by providing an annunciator which annunciates the time-up state of the 1st presettable timer and the 2nd timer device which starts operating with the time-up signal of the annunciator and outputs an equipment control signal a specific time later. CONSTITUTION:When a timer time is preset in the 1st timer device 8 by a timer setting device 7 and a starting device 9 is turned on, the timer device 8 begins to operate and outputs the timer-up signal a set time later, so that the annunciator 10 annunciates the time-up state. Simultaneously, the 2nd timer device 11 starts operating and outputs the signal to an equipment controller 12 the specific time later. When the timer device 11 is process of clocking, the timer device 8 starts operating again by turning on the starting device and the time can be extended and the timer operation is stopped by turning on a stopping device 13 to put the equipment controller 12 in operation from the point of time, so that even if the 1st time is set incorrectly, a readjustment is made.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to a device having a timer.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, audio equipment, air conditioning equipment, cooking equipment, and other devices equipped with timers have appeared on the market. An example of a gas staple stove with a timer is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Figure @4 is an example of a gas staple stove that notifies you when a set time has elapsed, and the gas flowing from the gas port 1 passes through the manual gas cock 2 and reaches the gas burner 3fζ. The user starts combustion by opening the manual gas stove 7, sets the cooking time using the timer section 4, and drives the gas stove. When the set time has elapsed, the alarm 5 issues an alarm, and the user closes the manual gas stove 2 to stop combustion.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a gas staple stove that closes a cutoff valve when a set time has elapsed, and gas flowing from the waste inlet 1 passes through the cutoff valve 6 from the manual gas cock 2 and reaches the gas burner 3. The user starts combustion by opening the manual gas stove 2, sets the cooking time using the timer part 4, and starts the operation. When a set time elapses, the shutoff valve 6 closes to stop combustion.

Problems that can be solved by invention In the conventional configuration, in the case of the example shown in Fig. 4, even if the alarm is given after the set time has elapsed, if the user does not notice the alarm, combustion will continue. The problem was that it could not be adequately guaranteed. In the example shown in Figure 5, the combustion is automatically stopped when the set time has elapsed, so even if the cooking is not complete even after the set time has elapsed, the combustion will be stopped and the user will have to The problem is that the cooking cannot be done as expected.

Means for Solving the Problems To solve the problems, the present invention has a device control device that controls devices, inputs a set time from a timer setting device, and operates based on a signal from a timer start device. a first timer device that starts the operation; an alarm that the first timer device issues an alarm after a set time has elapsed; This configuration consists of a second timer device and a second timer device.

With this configuration, the user is notified after the set time has elapsed, and if the user does not do anything until the predetermined time has elapsed, the device control device automatically controls the device. This function increases safety, and allows the user to operate the device control device until a predetermined time has elapsed. Since the setting can be made again, even if the user accidentally sets the setting time to a short time, the function that the user expects is still satisfactorily performed.

EXAMPLE An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. The user sets the time using the timer setting device 7. The set time is output to the first timer device 8, which turns on the n1 timer start device 9, and the timer start device 9 outputs a signal to the first timer device 8, causing the first timer device 8 to operate. Start. When the set time has elapsed, the first timer device 8 outputs a notification signal to the notification device 10, and the notification device 10 makes notification. At the same time as the first timer device 8 outputs the notification signal from the notification device 101,
A signal is output to the second timer device 11, and the second timer device 11 starts operating and continues to operate for a predetermined time. While the second timer device 11 continues counting, the user can set the time again to extend the set time from the timer setting device 7f,
By turning on the timer drive device 9, the timer drive device 9 outputs an operation start signal to the first timer device 8, and the first timer device 8 starts operating at the new time.

Further, it is also possible for the user to drive the device control device 12 while the second timer device 11 continues to operate, and in that case, by turning on the stop device 1a, the second timer device 11 stops operating. stop. A drive signal is output to the device control device 12, and the device control device 12 outputs a control signal to the device 14 to control the device 14. Second timer device 1
If the user does not perform any reset or control drive while counting the predetermined time (ζ is
The second timer 11 completes its operation and outputs a drive signal to the device control device 12 at this time, and the device control device 12
The device 15 is controlled by outputting a control signal to the device 4. The flow of the above operation is shown in the flowchart of FIG.

A specific example is shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is an example of a timer control, a notification timer for a gas staple stove. The gas flowing in from the gas population 1 passes through a manual gas cock 2, a shutoff valve 6, and reaches a gas burner 3. The user starts combustion by opening the manual gas cock 2, sets the cooking time using the timer setting device 7, and presses the switch 1.
5, the first timer device 8 starts operating.

When the set time has elapsed, the buzzer 16 gives a notification.

At the same time, the second timer device 11 starts operating. While the second timer device 11 continues to operate, the user sets the time from the timer setting device 7f and switches 1 to 1.
5, the first timer device 8 starts operating again. Furthermore, if the user closes the manual gas cock 2 while the second timer device 11 continues to operate, the switch 17 interlocked with the manual gas cock 2 is closed, and the shutoff valve control device 18 closes the shutoff valve 6 to prevent combustion. and also stops the second timer 11. When the second timer 11 completes counting the predetermined time, the cutoff valve control device 18 closes the cutoff valve 6 and stops combustion.

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

(1) Even after the set time has elapsed, the device control device is not activated immediately and the user is notified, so the user can set the time again to extend the time, and Since it is also possible for a person to drive the device control device, there is an effect that the device can perform the functions expected by the user.

(2) After the set time has elapsed, if the user does nothing until the predetermined time count is completed, the device control device is automatically activated, so the device control device or device operation is automatically activated. When stopping, it has the effect of increasing safety.
