DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a water control device used in instantaneous water heaters that use gas or oil as fuel, and is capable of changing the pressure difference applied to a control diaphragm by changing the opening degree of a control valve. The control diaphragm works with the control diaphragm to change the opening of the valve that controls the amount of inflow water, and the detection diaphragm has a configuration in which a pressure difference that exhibits the same characteristics regardless of the opening of the control valve is applied. .

Conventionally, a controller has been used in which a control valve is installed directly in the water flow path and the pressure difference before and after the valve is applied to a diaphragm, but the size of the control valve is large because it is inserted into the flow path. It required a lot of power not only to be able to use it, but also to manipulate it. In addition, when a control valve is inserted into a flow path in this way, the water volume-differential pressure characteristic changes depending on its opening degree, so when detecting water flow, the detected water volume value also depends on the control valve opening degree. It changed depending on. This change in the detected water amount value is a cause of inconvenience, especially in the case of a stop-start type water heater, as it causes the fire to go out when the water amount is turned off with a faucet.

In the present invention, a pressure difference that exhibits the same water volume-differential pressure characteristic is applied to the diaphragm for detecting the water amount regardless of the opening degree of the control valve, while the control valve does not directly insert this water amount-differential pressure characteristic into the flow path. The pressure difference obtained by partial pressure is applied to the control diaphragm. This aims to reduce the diameter of the control valve and reduce the operating force, as well as to stabilize the amount of water detected.

First, the operation as an instantaneous water heater will be explained. When water starts flowing through the water circuit, a signal is sent from the detection switch 26 to the controller 38, and as a result, the first solenoid valve 31 is opened and gas is sent to the pilot burner 36 to ignite it. When ignition is confirmed by a flame detection device (not shown), the second solenoid valve 32 also opens and combustion begins in the main burner 34. The water is heated by the heat exchanger 27, and the amount of gas combustion is controlled by the input control valve 33 so that the temperature matches the set value. By the way, even in the maximum input state, if the detected temperature is lower than the set temperature, the motor 19 is driven to change the set value of the water flow control device 1 to reduce the water volume and increase the water temperature. Operate. In this way, by controlling both the input control valve 33 and the water amount control device 1, the set temperature is always maintained constant regardless of the water temperature or water amount.

Next, using the characteristic diagram in FIG. 2, the water flow control device 1
The water flow control operation will be explained. The differential pressure valve 11 of the differential pressure generator 13 has a hole in the center, and the water pressure difference caused by passing through this hole overcomes the differential pressure spring 12 and acts in the direction of opening the differential pressure valve. Therefore,
The pressure before and after the differential pressure generating section 13 is shown as A in FIG. Here, the inflection point that changes into a dogleg shape indicates a state where the differential pressure valve 11 begins to separate from the differential pressure hole 10. The detection diaphragm 21 includes
This differential pressure of characteristic A is acting. On the other hand, the control diaphragm 7 has a secondary chamber 8 in the first communication passage 14.
Since it also communicates with the primary chamber 6, the differential pressure value is smaller than in characteristic A in FIG. If the control valve 17 is closed, characteristic A will act, but if the opening degree is increased, the differential pressure value acting on the control diaphragm 7 will decrease as shown in characteristics B and C. Now, as is well known, the valve configuration shown in the figure has a governor effect that keeps the amount of water almost constant even if the water pressure increases. In the state of characteristic A, the differential pressure acting on the control diaphragm 7 is Δp 1 , and the force f 1 balances with the control spring 9 and determines the opening degree of the valve 4 called g 1 . Even if the supply water pressure increases from this state, a slight decrease in the valve opening degree g 1 causes a sudden increase in the pressure drop in this area, so the water amount Q 1 is kept almost constant.
Further, when the control valve 17 is set to the state of characteristic B, the state is stabilized with the differential pressure Δp 2 , the force f 2 , and the valve opening g 2 and the water amount maintains Q 2 . Similarly, if characteristic C is set, the water amount will be Q3 . In this way, although the control valve 17 is not inserted into the main water flow path, it is possible to change the water flow-differential pressure characteristics, and as a result, the water flow value that is stable as a water governor can be adjusted by opening the control valve 17. It can be changed depending on the degree. Since a differential pressure of characteristic A is always acting on the detection diaphragm 21, the differential pressure Δ required for detection is independent of the opening degree of the control valve 17.
The detection switch 26 can be actuated by the amount of water Q s that produces P s .

Next, another embodiment of the water control device will be described with reference to FIG. In this figure, the differential pressure generating section 13 is different, and the other parts are the same as the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, so the same reference numerals are given. At a position exiting from the primary chamber 6, a differential pressure generating section 13 is formed by a ventule tube consisting of a contracting section 39, a low pressure section 40, and an expanding section 41. The second communication passage 16 communicates with the low pressure section 40, and the conduction hole 23 also communicates with the low pressure section 40. In the case of this embodiment, the relationship between the amount of water and the differential pressure shows a square curve as shown in FIG. Here, curve A is control valve 1
7 is closed, and it has the same characteristics as a Venture tube. This differential pressure changes as shown by curve B or curve C depending on the opening degree of control valve 17.
As a result, the operating point at which the water flow becomes stable as a governor is
It can be changed from Q 1 to Q 2 to Q 3 . Of course, as in the case of Fig. 1, the detection diaphragm 2
Since the curve A acts on 1, it is possible to detect the passage of the water amount by the water amount Qs . If the detection diaphragm 21 is made to have the same water flow-differential pressure characteristics as the control diaphragm 7, and the water flow is set as shown in curve C to obtain the water flow Q3 , the water flow will be approximately three times the amount of water shown in the diagram Qs . Detection becomes possible only after This is inconvenient when used as a water heater, as the fire may turn on or off depending on how the faucet is opened.

As described above, according to the present invention, the water volume setting can be varied by operating the water receptacle control valve provided not in the main water flow path but in the communication path, thereby reducing operating force and making it possible to downsize. Particularly, as shown in the embodiment, when the motor 19 is operated automatically, it is possible to reduce the capacity of the motor 19 and its power supply circuit. Further, since the water amount detection uses the water amount-differential pressure characteristic that is unrelated to the set water amount, the water heater can be started when the water amount reaches a certain level. Furthermore, since the highest value among the differential pressures occurring is used, it is possible to reduce the diameter of the detection diaphragm 21.
