Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain comfortable and economical room heating or cooling by a method wherein the starting hour of a burner and an air-conditioning output are set so that a room temperature becomes a set temperature at the hour of rising or the like. CONSTITUTION:The title warm-air room heater becomes the state of stand-by inputting an indoor set temperature, a heating area, the structure of a house and the hour of rising. Room temperature detection is repeated continuously or periodically until the starting of heating operation to operate the deviation of temperature every time while the heating load of the heater is decided from the information signals of the heating area and the structure of the house, which are memorized already as the set inputs, whereby a room heating output is determined. At the same time, the starting hour of the heater for heating the room to the set room temperature until the hour of rising is determined. When the heating output and the starting hour has been determined, a burner 16 starts the operation thereof. According to this method, the room temperature is risen to the indoor temperature, set initially, at the hour of rising whereby comfortable wake up may be attained.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Application The present invention heats or cools a room using air from a fan that has exchanged heat with a heat exchanger, such as an air conditioner that starts with a timer, a hot air heater, etc. The present invention relates to a heater, etc. that determines the air conditioning load and controls the air conditioning output so that the room temperature reaches a set room temperature at the time of use of the room, such as when waking up.

Conventional technology Generally, when the start time comes, does it operate automatically? With conventional hot air heaters that have a 1-hour operation function, the room temperature at the time of startup, the heating area,
Taking into account variations in the building structure, the start time was set so that the temperature reached the set temperature several ten minutes before the wake-up time.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In general, the one-hour operation using the timer described in (1) is used as a timer for early mornings in winter, and the wake-up time is set so that the room temperature reaches the set temperature when the wake-up time arrives. number 10
I empirically set the start time so that the temperature reached the set temperature within 1 minute. Therefore, when it is time to wake up, the room temperature may have reached the set temperature or not yet reached the set temperature, and if it has reached the set temperature earlier,
It was necessary to maintain the set temperature at all times, which resulted in energy savings and waste.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a control device for a heater, etc., which determines the air conditioning load and automatically sets the start time and air conditioning output so that the room temperature reaches the set temperature at the time of waking up, etc. This is what we provide.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, a control device for a heater or the like according to the present invention includes an indoor temperature setting means and an indoor temperature storage means for setting the indoor temperature, and an indoor temperature setting means for detecting the indoor temperature. a detection means, a temperature deviation calculation means between a set temperature and an indoor temperature, an air conditioning area input means and an air conditioning area storage means for inputting an air conditioning area, a housing structure inputting means and a housing structure storage means, an inputting means for inputting wake-up time, etc. A use time storage means such as wake-up time, an air conditioning load determination means for determining an air conditioning load from temperature deviation, an air conditioning area, and a housing structure, and a heating output determination means for determining a heating output according to the air conditioning load; a proportional valve driving means for controlling the amount of fuel to the burner commensurate with the heating output; a starting time determining means for determining the starting time based on information signals from the use time storing means and the heating load determining means; and a sequence controlling means. It has been established.

Effect of the Invention With the above-described configuration, the present invention determines the air conditioning load so that the room temperature reaches the set temperature exactly at the time of use, such as at the time of waking up, and automatically sets the starting time and air conditioning output. The room temperature can be raised or lowered to the set temperature, and economically, it can eliminate waste such as overheating or overcooling.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, in which a hot air heater is employed. In FIG. 1, 1 is an indoor temperature setting means, 2 is a preset temperature storage means for storing the temperature set by the indoor temperature setting means 1, a is an indoor temperature detecting means for detecting the indoor temperature, and 4 is the preset temperature. Storage means 2

4 is the heating load determination means 9 and the wake-up time storage means 1
Starting time determining means 15 determines the starting time of the appliance based on a signal from the starting time determining means; 15 is a 7-time determining means for determining the start time of the appliance based on the signal from the starting time determining means; This is a sequence control means for controlling the

Next, the operation of the embodiment described above will be explained using the flowchart shown in FIG. By inputting the indoor temperature setting, heating surface level, housing structure, and wake-up time, the appliance will stop operating for a certain amount of time and enter a standby state. Then, until the start of operation, the room temperature is detected continuously or periodically, and the temperature difference is calculated each time, and the heating load is determined from the information signals of the heating area and housing structure that have already been set and stored, and the heating output is determined. . At the same time, from the heating load determination information and the initially set wake-up time information signal, the start time at which the room temperature should be set at the wake-up time is determined.

The above process is repeated, and the appliance (burner 16) starts operating when the heating output and start time are determined to enable the room temperature to reach the set temperature exactly at the wake-up time. At the same time, data on the heating output and start time that have been finally determined are stored without being updated. Thereafter, at the time you wake up, the room temperature will rise to the initial room temperature setting, allowing you to wake up comfortably.

After one hour of operation, the operation is stopped and the timer ends the one hour operation. It should be noted that the present invention is particularly effective in terms of safety when used in an indoor open type warm air heater using gas, oil, etc.

More than the effects of the invention, as is clear from the examples, the present invention makes it possible to automatically set the start time and air conditioning output by determining the air conditioning load so that the room temperature reaches the set temperature exactly at the time of starting use, such as at wake-up time. By the time you wake up, the room temperature has risen or fallen to the set temperature, and you can get comfortable and economical heating or cooling without being too hot or too cold.

Further, although the embodiment has been described for the case when the user wakes up, it can also be used to heat the room in advance when the room is used for a meeting or to receive guests. And it can be used not only for hot air heaters but also for air conditioners.
