1 to 3, the carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide sensor 30, the temperature in the heater to absorb the fuel in the wick (2), and then to burn using it to heat using the heat generated Applying an automatic fire extinguishing device including a sensing driving means composed of a sensor 40 or a timer 13.

Each of the sensing driving means includes two sensing driving means such as a carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide sensor 30 and a timer 13, a temperature sensor 40, and a timer 13, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. It may be used in combination in combination, or as shown in FIG. 3, each may be used alone (in the figure, the timer 13 may be used).

Here, the carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide sensor 30, the temperature sensor 40, the setting data, such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide amount or temperature inside the heater, respectively, is out of the reference data, or the timer 13 is completed for setting the heater use When the time is reached, the driving unit 10 of the automatic fire extinguishing device is operated by the control signal of the controller (not shown), so that the ignition wick 2 is automatically lowered to extinguish the heater.

In the present invention of the carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide sensor 30, the temperature sensor 40, the timer 13 to transmit a detection signal to the control unit to automatically extinguish the heater, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, (13) shall be adopted and prepared.

To this end, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the automatic operation in conjunction with the operation lever (not shown) of the timer 13 for setting the time and the wick lifting device for lifting the wick 2 up and down The fire extinguishing device is configured to include a drive unit 10 to which the driving force of the timer 13 is transmitted to a plurality of assemblies which are linked operation means.

In addition, the force is transmitted to the plurality of assemblies by the strike of the operating lever 17 provided in the drive unit 10, the driven field to allow the wick (2) to be lowered by the transmitted force It comprises a tooth 20.

As shown in FIG. 6, the driving unit 10 is installed on a plate-shaped base plate 11 having a fastening member (not shown) to mount the automatic fire extinguishing device at a specific position of the heater.

The timer 13 provided on one side of the base plate 11 and sharing the timer drive shaft 131 is generally divided into a driving method using a mainspring and a small electric motor.

The timer 13 is a device for informing the user of the completion time when the desired time is set using the mainspring or the electric motor, and returning the mainspring or the motor to its original state, and reaching the setting completion time for using the heater. In this case, the vibration motor 15 which is a driving motor is operated by a control signal of a controller (not shown).

The vibration motor 15 used as the vibration generating source is installed on the base plate 11 and is configured to be rotatable by itself.

That is, as shown in Figure 6, the vibration motor 15 is mounted on the upper end of the rotating bracket 16 made of a bracket assembly (bracket assembly) having an operating lever 17 on one side of the lower end.

Accordingly, the vibration motor 15 and the rotation bracket 16 are integrally formed to rotate about the lever rotation shaft 161 with respect to the base plate 11.

At this time, the first elastic member 162 is connected between one side of the rotating bracket 16 located on the opposite side of the operating lever 17 and the base plate 11.

Here, the first elastic member 162 achieves a smooth rotation about the lever rotation shaft 161 when the operating lever 17 and the rotary bracket 16 rotates by the centrifugal force of the vibration motor 15. It will do the job of making it possible.

The vibration motor 15 is a motor for mounting the eccentric weight 152 on the motor shaft 151 and causing the eccentric weight 152 to rotate simultaneously as the rotor (not shown) rotates. When rotating by the drive signal, the vibration is generated by the eccentric weight 152 of the motor shaft 151.

When the centrifugal force, ie the eccentric force, of the eccentric weight 152 mounted on the motor shaft 151 of the vibration motor 15 acts in the direction of gravity, as shown in FIG. 4, the vibration motor 15 and The rotary bracket 16 which is integrally installed rotates about the lever rotation shaft 161 by the eccentric force of the vibration motor 15.

In other words, when the vibration motor 15 rotates counterclockwise around the lever rotation shaft 161 by the eccentric force of the eccentric weight 152, the operating lever 17 of the rotation bracket 16 is also half It will rotate clockwise, ie upward.

The drive unit 10 configured as described above is configured to transfer the eccentric force of the vibration motor 15 operated by the control unit to the operation lever 17 when the setting completion time of the timer 13 is reached. A plurality of interlockable gear assemblies of the automatic fire extinguishing device can be replaced by a mechanical structure that transmits rotational driving force while continuously rotating.

In addition, as shown in Figure 6, the micro switch 18, the switch lever 181 is disposed in parallel with the operation lever 17 is provided on one side of the rotary bracket (16).

The micro switch 18 is in a state in which the heater is extinguished, and the operating lever 17 is returned to an initial state by a pressing operation of the driven lever 221 interlocking with the elastic plate 224 of the bracket ratchet 22 to be described later. The OFF signal is applied to the power supply of the vibration motor 15 through the electrical connection by the elastic operation of the switch lever 181 interlocking with each other upon return.

In other words, the control unit receiving the off signal of the micro switch 18 transmits the stop command signal to the vibration motor 15.

Subsequently, when the operation lever (not shown) of the wick lifting device is rotated in the clockwise direction, the driven lever 221 of the bracket ratchet 22 interlocked with the wick rises and rises to release the pressing operation of the micro switch 18. The switch lever 181 is returned to its original state to be in a state in which power can be applied to the vibration motor 15.

Here, the power supply state to the vibration motor 15, the carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide sensor 30, including the state in which the control unit detects the setting completion time of the timer 13 and transmits a control signal, the temperature It means a state in which the sensor 40 detects the amount of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide or temperature in the heater according to the control signal of the controller and transmits the control signal.

In addition, the switch lever 181 does not rotate by the lever rotation shaft 161 like the operation lever 17, it is made of a material having an elastic force to perform a switch function while elastically deformed.

On the other hand, the operating lever 17, as described above, the spring connection portion 171 connected to the first elastic member 162 on one side of the lever rotation shaft 161 is provided, the other side of the driven device ( A striking portion 172 that strikes one side of the bracket ratchet 22 provided in the 20 is provided.

Therefore, the drive unit 10 configured as described above is configured to transmit the rotational driving force of the timer 13 to the operating lever 17, and the interlockable assembly continuously rotates the driven unit 20. ).

The driven device 20 is composed of a plurality of assemblies and installed in the base bracket 21.

The base bracket 21 is provided with a driven lever 221 in contact with the actuating lever 17 on one side of the ratchet rotating shaft 223 and selectively restrains the ratchet gear 23 described later on the other side. A bracket ratchet 22 having a pin portion 222 having a pawl function in the ratchet means is installed to be rotatable about the ratchet rotating shaft 223.

In addition, the bracket ratchet 22 is provided with an elastic plate 224 formed in a curved plate shape of an inverted 'U' shape adjacent to orthogonal to each other and facing each other with the wick drive shaft 25 described later.

At this time, one side plate surface of the elastic plate 224 is integrally fixed to the rear end of the driven lever 221 of the bracket ratchet 22, the other plate surface is a return lever formed on the back of the ratchet gear 23 to be described later 231 becomes contactable.

On the other hand, it is made to rotate only in one direction by the pin portion 222 of the bracket ratchet 22 while rotating with the return lever 231, the same as the operation lever (not shown) for raising and lowering the wick (2) The ratchet gear 23 located on the axis line is provided.

The ratchet gear 23 as the ratchet means is integrally axially fixed on the wick drive shaft 25 connected to an operation lever (not shown) for manually raising and lowering the wick 2 inside the combustion cylinder 1 and described above. As described above, due to the restraining action of the pin portion 222 provided in the bracket ratchet 22, the rotation is performed in only one direction.

That is, the ratchet gear 23 is constrained in the counterclockwise rotation by the pin part 222.

At this time, the lower end of the ratchet gear 23 is formed with a cutout 232 that is not interfered by the pin portion 222.

When the operation of the automatic fire extinguishing device is completed and the wick drive shaft 25 returns to the initial state, the pin part 222 is inserted into the cutout 232 of the ratchet gear 23 so that the driven lever 221 is The operating lever 17 is pressed down to the bottom end.

On the contrary, when the pin part 222 is moved downward by the operation lever, the driven lever 221 is raised about the ratchet rotating shaft 223 to release the contact by the pressing operation with the micro switch 18. Therefore, the switch lever 181 of the micro switch 18 is returned to its original state to be in a state that enables the power supply to the vibration motor 15.

When the wick drive shaft 25 and the ratchet gear 23 rotates in one direction, that is, clockwise direction, the wick drive means 25 acts as a winding direction and imparts elastic restoring force in the reverse direction of the rotation direction, that is, counterclockwise. The two elastic members 24 are wound around the wick drive shaft 25.

4 and 5, one end of the second elastic member 24 is fixed on the wick drive shaft 25, and the other end of the second elastic member 24 is a base bracket adjacent to the wick drive shaft 25. 21 is fixed to the fixture 211.

Here, the second elastic member 24 may be formed of a spring, such as a coil spring, the diameter of which is changed by winding or unwinding in accordance with the rotation direction of the wick drive shaft 25, the present invention is not limited thereto.

When the wick drive shaft 25 rotates in a rotatable direction, the second elastic member 24 fixed to the wick drive shaft 25 imparts elastic restoring force in the opposite direction, so that the ratchet gear 23 ratchets the bracket. When not restrained by the pin portion 222 of the 22, the wick drive shaft 25 is free to rotate freely in the opposite direction of the operation direction by the elastic restoring force of the second elastic member 24.

Here, since the operation configuration by the wick drive shaft 25 for raising and lowering the wick 2 in the combustion cylinder 1 is a general known art, a detailed description of the specific operating relationship and connection relationship will be omitted. do.

On the other hand, when the wick (2) is lowered by the automatic fire extinguishing device and the heater is extinguished by the automatic fire extinguishing device, the automatic fire extinguishing device for the operation sequence of the assembly of the drive unit 10 and the driven unit 20 It is possible to reset to initial state by driving in reverse order.

As described above, the restoring means for returning the automatic fire extinguishing device to the initial state is integrally formed on the rear surface of the ratchet gear 23 so that the ratchet gear 23 is connected to the pin portion 222 of the bracket ratchet 22. When rotating in the counterclockwise direction by the elastic restoring force of the second elastic member 24 fixed to the wick drive shaft 25 in an unconstrained state, the elastic plate 224 is instantaneously rotated together with the ratchet gear 23. The return lever 231 provides thrust.

The return lever 231 imparts instantaneous thrust to the other plate surface of the elastic plate 224 orthogonal to the wick drive shaft 25, and one side plate surface of the elastic plate 224 is bracket ratchet 22. Together to rotate about the ratchet axis of rotation 223.

Hereinafter, the operation of the automatic fire extinguishing device for a heater according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

7 is a view showing a state before the operation of the drive unit of the automatic fire extinguishing device for a heater according to the present invention, Figure 8 is a view showing a state after the operation of the drive unit of the automatic fire extinguishing device for a heater according to the present invention, 9 and 10 are operation diagrams showing an operating state of a driven device unit including a drive unit according to the present invention.

First, the operation lever (not shown) of the wick lifting device coupled to the wick drive shaft 25 to raise and lower the wick 2 is rotated clockwise to elevate the wick 2 above the combustion cylinder 1, Fire the wick (2) to be heated.

At this time, since the second elastic member 24 wound around the wick drive shaft 25 acts in the winding direction, the return force is applied in the opposite direction.

The bracket ratchet 22 configured to be adjacent to the wick drive shaft 25 as a means of restraining the return force of the second elastic member 24 has a pin portion 222 provided on the bracket ratchet 22. The gear of the ratchet gear 23 axially fixed to 25 is engaged with and fixed to restrain the rotation of the ratchet gear 23 in the counterclockwise direction.

In such a restrained state of the ratchet gear 23, the use time is set through an operation lever (not shown) of the timer 13 which is set to enable the initial continuous operation.

The timer 13 whose time has been set is operated slowly in a predetermined rotational direction by a spring or an electric motor.

When the timer 13 reaches the setting completion time, when the completion signal is transmitted to the controller, the controller transmits a driving signal to the vibration motor 15 of FIG. 7.

The vibration motor 15 receiving the driving signal generates the own vibration while the eccentric weight 152 rotates.

Therefore, when the eccentric force of the eccentric weight 152 acts in the up and down direction, as shown in FIG. 8, the rotating bracket 16 which is integrally installed with the vibration motor 15 is a vibration motor ( By the eccentric force of 15) while rotating in the counterclockwise direction around the lever rotation shaft 161, the operating lever 17 is rotated to rise.

Up to this point, the operation of the driving unit 10 will be described. Next, the driven unit 20 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 9, when the operation lever 17 hits one side of the bracket ratchet 22, that is, the driven lever 221, the bracket ratchet 22 is rotated about the ratchet axis of rotation 223. do.

At this time, the pin portion 222 of the bracket ratchet 22, which restrains the rotation of the ratchet gear 23, moves downward to release the restraint of the ratchet gear 23.

When the restraint of the ratchet gear 23 is released, as illustrated in FIG. 10, the ratchet gear 23 is fixed to the wick drive shaft 25 by the return force of the second elastic member 24. It is rotated in a clockwise direction, and the return lever 231 fixed to the back is applied to the elastic plate 224 of the bracket ratchet 22 while interlocking with the ratchet gear 23.

At this time, when the wick drive shaft 25 of the wick lifting device rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the wick (2) is lowered in the combustion cylinder (1) is made to extinguish.

In the state where the heater is extinguished, when an external force by the return lever 231 acts on the elastic plate 224 of the bracket ratchet 22, the ratchet ratchet 22 is rotated in a direction opposite to the initial operation direction. While rotating about 223, the thrust is applied to the operating lever 17 as opposed to the initial operation, and the operating lever 17 is rotated to an initial state and the vibration motor 15 is also returned to its original state. The fire extinguishing system enters the initial setting.

On the other hand, the vibration motor 15 which is operated by the drive signal of the control unit vibrates when the driven lever 221 of the bracket ratchet 22 is pressed back and the switch lever 181 of the micro switch 18 is pressed. The OFF signal is applied to the power supply of the motor 15 to stop the rotation operation.

Subsequently, when the operation lever (not shown) of the wick lifting device is rotated in the clockwise direction, the pin part 222 of the bracket ratchet 22 inserted into the cutout 232 may interfere with the ratchet gear 23. As a result, the driven lever 221 of the bracket ratchet 22 is raised while descending again.

As a result, the switch lever 181 of the micro switch 18 rises and returns to its original state, and the vibration motor 15 is in a state in which power can be applied.
