Abstract

PURPOSE:To release a user from coldness and to enable comfortable waking up of the user, by a method wherein a combustion starting time is computed from the hour of rising and a set room temperature at that time, operation is started at the combustion starting time, temperature is increased to a set value at a set time, and alarming function of reporting the hour of rising by means of an alarm. CONSTITUTION:The hour of rising is set by means of a timer set means 5, a room temperature is then set to a desired value by means of a temperature set means 4, and a heater is set to a timer operation condition. An operation starting time is calculated by means of a microcomputer 2, and when it comes to the starting time, a combustion means 6 and a fan motor 7 start their respective operation. When it comes to a set time, a room temperature is increased to a set value, and the hour of rising is reported by means of an alarm 3.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an improvement in the timer function of a warm air heater for general household use.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION An example of a timer function of a conventional hot air heater will be described. FIG. 3 shows a configuration diagram of a timer function of a conventional hot air heater, and FIG. 4 is a schematic flowchart thereof. In FIG. 3, 8 is the combustion means 12 of the hot air heater.
9 is a microcomputer (hereinafter referred to as a microcomputer); 1o is a temperature setting means; 11 is a timer setting means; 12 is a combustion means; 13 is a fan motor for sending out hot air. In FIG. 4, first, the operation start time is set by the timer setting means 11, and the timer is put into operation. When the set time comes, the hot air heater automatically enters the operating state and the combustion means 12 starts combustion. In conventional hot air heaters, it is not possible to set the temperature during timer operation, and the temperature is set after combustion starts.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above configuration, even if combustion is started by timer operation, the room temperature remains at the initial level for a while after the start of combustion, and the temperature inside the room cannot be said to be comfortable.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention aims to improve the timer function of a warm air heater so that it does not reach the set temperature at a set time, and also has a wake-up function that notifies you when you wake up with an alarm. It provides a heater.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the hot air heater of the present invention calculates the combustion start time from the wake-up time and the set room temperature at that time,
It starts operation at that time, reaches the set temperature at the set time, and has an alarm function that notifies you when it is time to wake up.

Effects According to the above configuration, the hot air heater starts operating by itself, and when it is time to wake up, the time is notified and the constant temperature is set to the optimum.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, a warm air heater according to an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a timer function of a hot air heater according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 is an electronic control circuit means for controlling the combustion means, fan motor, microcomputer, etc. of the warm air heater, which will be described later; 2 is a microcomputer (hereinafter referred to as microcomputer) having means for calculating combustion start time; 3
is an alarm for the hot air heater, 4 is a temperature setting means, and 6 is a timer setting means. 6 is a combustion means, and 7 is a fan motor for sending out hot air.

FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of the timer function in the present invention. In the figure, first, the timer setting means 6 sets the wake-up time, and then the temperature setting means 4 sets the desired room temperature. Then, set the device to timer operation. When the wake-up time and temperature are set as described above, the microcomputer 2 calculates the operation start time, and at that time, the combustion means 6 and the fan motor 7 start operation. Then, at the set time, the room temperature reaches the set temperature, and an alarm 3 notifies the user of the wake-up time.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the hot air heater of the present invention is equipped with a timer function that sets the temperature at the set time, and also has a wake-up function that notifies the wake-up time with an alarm. It can relieve the user from the cold and wake him up comfortably.
