Next, the operation of the remote control device of the gas boiler using the converter having the above-described configuration will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, when a call signal transmitted from an external telephone is received through a call signal receiving / transmitting unit 16 (step 60), the control unit 18 makes a call sound according to the call signal on the speaker SP. The call sound generator 22 controls the call sound generator 22 so that the user can respond to the call signal and transmits the call signal to the gas boiler II (step 62). The call sound generator 22 ) Generates a ring tone under the control of the control unit 18 and applies it to the speaker SP connected to the rear stage, so that the ring tone is output.

Thereafter, the control unit 18 determines the available state of the telephone I in question (step 64). In this step 64, when the user takes the handset 14, it is off-hook. In the case where the call becomes available, the control unit 18 proceeds to step 66 according to the determination result in step 54 and performs the control function according to the telephone call.

That is, in step 66, the call signal coming from the other party's telephone via the trunk line 10 is transmitted to the receiver's receiver 14b of the receiver through the call signal exchanger 24, and the caller of the receiver switcher ( The call signal output from 14a) is transmitted to the trunk line 10 through the call signal exchanger 24, and then transferred to the other party's telephone to make a phone call.

On the other hand, if the handset 14 is not taken because the handset 14 is not taken due to the absence of the user in step 64, the microcomputer 34 according to the determination result in step 64. In step 68, it is determined whether the number of times the call signal is transmitted is a predetermined number of times, for example, 10 times, based on the call signal transmitted from the telephone I.

When the user transmits a call signal for operation control of the corresponding gas boiler (II) from the outside in step 68, if the output frequency of the call sound exceeds 10 times, the microcomputer 34 determines in step 68 According to the result, the control proceeds to step 70, in response to the call signal, the alarm sound generating unit 36 is controlled so that an alarm tone indicating that the call signal has been received without error is transmitted to the telephone I.

At this time, the alarm sound generating unit 36 generates an alarm sound corresponding to, for example, 'bee-' indicating a reception state under the control of the microcomputer 34, and applies it to the second interfacing connector 32 so as to generate the corresponding alarm sound. Is transmitted to the telephone (I) side via the signal line 10a.

Subsequently, the microcomputer 34 determines whether a button signal corresponding to the '0' dial is input (step 72). The microcomputer 34 operates the '0' dial to stop the operation of the gas boiler in operation. When the corresponding button signal is applied to the microcomputer 34, the microcomputer 34 proceeds to step 74 according to the determination result of step 72 and, for example, an alarm sound for 'beep-beep' upon reception completion is received. The alarm sound generating unit 36 is controlled to be generated, and the alarm sound is transmitted to the telephone (I) side.

Thereafter, the microcomputer 34 applies a switch signal SW to the gas boiler driving stage 42 based on the button signal input in step 72 to control the operation of the corresponding gas boiler II to stop. In addition to (76), a predetermined control signal to the gas valve driving stage 46 Is controlled to shut off the gas valve (step 78).

On the other hand, if the button signal according to the dial '0' is not input in step 72, the microcomputer 34 proceeds to step 80 according to the determination result of the step 72, and the button signal according to the dial '1' is received. If the button signal according to the '1' dial is not applied in step 80, the process proceeds to step 82 according to the determination result in step 80, and the time data applied from the timer 38 is determined. It is determined whether or not the predetermined time has elapsed based on the condition. An alarm sound for 'beep' is generated in the alarm sound generating unit 36 and controlled to be transmitted to the telephone (I) side (step 84), and the process proceeds to step 72 to wait for a predetermined button signal input. .

On the other hand, when the user operates the '1' dial to drive the gas boiler in the operation stop state in step 80, the corresponding button signal is applied to the microcomputer 34, for example, 'beep' An alarm sound for 'p-' is generated in the alarm sound generation unit 36 and controlled to be transmitted to the telephone (I) side (step 86), and then it is determined whether a reservation time is set from the user (step 86). 88).

At this time, if the user does not apply the four-digit button signal to reserve the operation time of the corresponding gas boiler (II), the microcomputer 34 is a predetermined time based on the time data applied from the timer 38 (Step 90), and when the time data revealed in this step 90 passes a predetermined time, an alarm sound for, e.g., 'beep--' according to an error is generated by the alarm sound generating unit 36. Control to be transmitted to the telephone (I) side (step 92), and then proceeds to step 80 to wait for re-input of a button signal for starting the corresponding gas boiler.

However, if a four-digit button signal for setting the operation time of the corresponding gas boiler II is applied by the user in step 88, the microcomputer 34 performs the step according to the determination result in step 88. Proceeding to 94, for example, an alarm sound for 'beep-beep' is generated in the alarm sound generating part 36 and transmitted to the telephone (I) side according to the completion of the input.

Subsequently, the microcomputer 34 counts the time data based on the time data applied from the timer 38 (step 96), and determines whether the reservation setting time set in the step 88 has elapsed (step 98). In step 98, when the time data indicated in step 96 passes the reservation setting time, the microcomputer 34 proceeds to step 100 according to the determination result in step 98.

On the other hand, in step 100, the microcomputer 34 transmits a predetermined control signal to the gas valve driving stage 46 so that the corresponding gas boiler II can be operated. In addition, the corresponding gas valve is opened and the switch signal SW is applied to the gas boiler driving stage 42 so that the heating part 44 is ignited and supplied through the gas supply line 48. The gas is combusted to cause the corresponding gas boiler II to operate (step 102).

Then, in the gas boiler operating state in step 102, the microcomputer 34 determines whether the time data indicated by the timer 38 has elapsed for two hours based on the time data applied from the timer 38 (step 104). The control function setting unit 30 determines whether the control function is manually set (step 106).

Thus, if a control function is manually set through the control function setting unit 30 in step 106, the microcomputer 34 proceeds to step 108 in accordance with the determination result of step 106 and operates in accordance with the setting function. Do this.

On the other hand, if the control function is not manually set through the control function setting unit 30 in step 106, the microcomputer 34 proceeds to step 110 according to the determination result in step 106. In operation 110, in consideration of the possibility that safety problems may occur in the corresponding gas boiler II, a switch signal SW is applied to the gas boiler driving stage 42 to operate the corresponding gas boiler II. In addition to stopping, a predetermined control signal to the gas valve driving end 46 Is applied to control the corresponding gas valve to be locked (step 112).

As described above, the remote control device of the gas boiler using the telephone according to the present invention when a user inputs a specific button signal to stop the gas boiler in operation by manipulating a numeric button configured on the 10-key configured in the telephone from the outside. In addition, the operation of the gas boiler is automatically stopped, the gas valve is shut off, and a specific button signal for operating the gas boiler in the stopped state and a specific button signal according to the operation time setting of the corresponding gas boiler are inputted. In this case, the gas boiler corresponding to the scheduled operation time is automatically started.

Therefore, by allowing the user to easily adjust the operation state of the gas boiler using a telephone from the outside, it is possible to maximize the heating effect of the corresponding gas boiler.
