Abstract

The arrangement has a manually operated valve (7,8) in the gas feed line (6) and an electromagnetic valve (5,6) in the line that closes if the flame (10) is quenched. An ignition plug (3) at the burner point (4,10) ignites the gas and indicates whether unburnt gas is escaping. The electromagnetic valve and ignition plug are connected to an electronic controller (2) that activates the ignition plug if unburnt gas is escaping, and if ignition was not successful within a defined period or number of ignition pulses, closes the electromagnetic valve. An Independent claim is also included for an arrangement for implementing the method.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Sichern einer Gasbrennstelle gegen unverbrannt ausströmendes Gas mit einem in der Gaszuführungsleitung angeordneten, von Hand betätigbarem Ventil und einem in der Leitung zusätzlich angeordneten Elektromagnetventil, das bei erloschener Flamme schließt, und einer an der Gasbrennstelle angeordneten Zündkerze, durch die das Gas gezündet wird und die anzeigt, ob Gas unverbrannt ausströmt.The invention relates to a device for securing a Gas burner against unburned gas one arranged in the gas supply line, by hand actuable valve and an additional one in the line arranged solenoid valve that when extinguished Flame closes, and one at the gas burning point arranged spark plug through which the gas is ignited and which indicates whether gas is escaping unburned.

Nach dem Stand der Technik sind mehrere Sicherungen gegen unverbrannt ausströmendes Gas am Brenner bekannt. So ist eine gesicherte Gasarmatur mit eingebautem Magneteinsatz in Verbindung mit einem zum Brenner hin führenden Thermoelement bekannt. Das Thermoelement liefert bei brennender Gasflamme einen Thermostrom zum Magneteinsatz und hält das federbelastete Gasventil solange geöffnet, wie die Gasflamme die Thermoelement-Fühlerspitze beheizt. Verlöscht die Gasflamme am Brenner, so schließt das Gasventil des Magneteinsatzes den Gasfluß zum Brenner.According to the state of the art, several fuses are against unburnt gas escaping from the burner is known. So is a secured gas valve with built-in magnet insert in connection with one leading to the burner Thermocouple known. The thermocouple delivers burning gas flame a thermal current for magnetic use and keeps the spring-loaded gas valve open as long as how the gas flame heats the thermocouple probe tip. If the gas flame on the burner goes out, that closes Gas valve of the solenoid insert the gas flow to the burner.

Dies hat den Nachteil, daß das Gasventil am Magneteinsatz durch mechanisches Eindrücken des Knebels an der Gasarmatur über einen Stößel solange von Hand eingedrückt werden muß, bis ein genügender Haltestrom auf das Magnetventil einwirkt und das Gasventil offenhält, wobei die Eindrückzeit auf das Gasventil bis zu 10 Sekunden dauern kann. Ein weiterer Nachteil ist, daß bei Erlöschen der Flamme am Gasbrenner die Schließung des Gasventils bis zu 90 Sekunden andauert, so daß in dieser Zeit unverbranntes Gas am Brenner ausströmen kann, da die Montage des Thermoelementes am Brenner aufwendig ist, und die Fühlerspitze am Thermoelement durch unachtsame Brennersäuberung oft beschädigt und unbrauchbar wird.This has the disadvantage that the gas valve on the solenoid insert by mechanically pushing the toggle on the The gas valve is pushed in by hand using a plunger must be until a sufficient holding current on the Solenoid valve acts and keeps the gas valve open, whereby the indentation time on the gas valve up to 10 seconds can take. Another disadvantage is that when it goes out the flame on the gas burner closes the gas valve lasts up to 90 seconds, so during this time unburned gas can flow out at the burner because the Mounting the thermocouple on the burner is complex, and the sensor tip on the thermocouple due to careless Burner cleaning often becomes damaged and unusable.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit ist bekannt mit einer ungesicherten Gasarmatur mit einer Ionisationszündung durch eine Zündkerze am Brenner. Hierbei mißt ein elektronischer Meßverstärker den Strom zwischen Zündkerze am Brenner und dem Brennerdeckel. Durch die Ionisation der Luft erkennt die Elektronik, ob die Gasflamme am Brenner brennt oder nicht. Verlischt die Gasflamme, so wird der Brenner sofort neu gezündet.Another possibility is known with a unsecured gas valve with an ionization ignition by a spark plug on the burner. This measures electronic measuring amplifier the current between spark plug on the burner and the burner cap. By ionization In the air, the electronics recognize whether the gas flame is on Burner burns or not. If the gas flame goes out, so the burner is re-ignited immediately.

Hier ist ein Nachteil, wenn nach Verlöschen der Gasflamme die Zündkerze neu zündet, jedoch der Brenner nicht anspringt, daß dann solange die Gasflamme nicht brennt und unverbranntes Gas ausströmen kann. Die Gaszufuhr zum Brenner ist in diesem Fall nur über den Gashahn abzustellen. Bei einem Defekt am Brenner, zum Beispiel entfernter Brennerdeckel oder teil verstopfte Gasaustrittsöffnungen, zündet die Zündkerze, aber das Gas strömt unverbrannt aus.Here's a disadvantage if after the gas flame goes out the spark plug re-ignites, but the burner does not starts that as long as the gas flame does not burn and can escape unburned gas. The gas supply to the In this case, the burner is only on the gas tap to turn off. If there is a defect in the burner, for example Removed burner cap or partially blocked Gas outlet openings, ignites the spark plug, but the gas emanates unburned.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Sicherheit gegen unverbranntes ausströmendes Gas einer Gaskochstelle so zu verbessern, daß bei einem nicht mehr zündfähigen Brenner die unverbrannt ausströmende Gasmenge automatisch und schnellstens unterbrochen wird und gleichzeitig bei Freigabe des Gasstromes über das Gasventil die Eindrückzeit am Ventil drastisch eingeschränkt wird.The object of the invention is to protect against unburned escaping gas to a gas hob improve that with a no longer ignitable burner the unburned gas flow automatically and is interrupted as quickly as possible and at the same time Release of the gas flow via the gas valve Indentation time at the valve is drastically restricted.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das Elektromagnetventil und die Zündkerze mit einer elektronischen Steuerungseinrichtung verbunden sind, die bei unverbrannt ausströmenden Gas die Zündkerze zum Zünden bringt und bei erfolgloser Zündung innerhalb einer vorbestimmten Zeit oder vorgegebener Anzahl von Zündimpulsen das Elektromagnetventil schließt.This object is achieved in that the solenoid valve and the spark plug with one electronic control device are connected, the with unburned gas, the spark plug to Ignition brings and if the ignition is unsuccessful within one predetermined time or number of Ignition pulses the solenoid valve closes.

Eine solche Ausführung erhöht bei einfacher Konstruktion die Sicherheit wesentlich. Hierbei ist von Vorteil, wenn der Haftstrom zum Öffnen des Elektromagnetventils von der Steuerungseinrichtung erzeugt wird.Such a design increases with a simple construction security essential. It is an advantage if the static current to open the solenoid valve from the Control device is generated.

Vorzugsweise wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Haftung des federbelasteten Elektromagnetventils durch ein einmaliges Eindrücken der Schaltachse des von Hand betätigbaren Ventils erzeugbar ist. Auch ist von Vorteil, wenn durch die Schaltachse des von Hand betätigbaren Ventils ein Schalter, insbesondere ein Mikroschalter, betätigbar ist, der die Steuerungseinrichtung ein- und ausschaltet.It is preferably proposed that the liability of the spring-loaded solenoid valve by a single Push in the switching axis of the manually operable Valve can be generated. It is also an advantage if by the switching axis of the manually operable valve Switch, in particular a microswitch, can be actuated, which switches the control device on and off.

Die Vorrichtung zur Sicherung einer Gasbrennstelle, insbesondere einer Gaskochstelle gegen unverbranntes ausströmendes Gas weist einen in einem Gasventil angeordneten Elektromagneten 5 (Magneteinsatz) auf, dessen notwendiger Haltestrom zur Öffnung des Gasventils 8 während der Gasverbrennung am Brenner 4 durch eine elektronische Steuerungseinrichtung 2, insbesondere eine (extern gelagerte) Modulbox auf den Elektromagneten übertragen wird, mit einem gleichzeitig in der Einrichtung 2 vorhandenen elektronisch gesteuerten Zünd- und Flammenüberwachungsmodul, welches über einen Mikroschalter 12 eine Spannung auf die Zündkerze 3 am Brenner freigibt. Durch einen Funkenüberschlag von der Zündkerze zum Brenner wird das ausströmende Gas am Brenner gezündet, dabei gleichzeitig die Gasflamme am Brenner durch die Zündkerze überwacht. Bei Verlöschen der Gasflamme wird automatisch der Brenner wieder gezündet und die Gaszufuhr zum Brenner bei einer nicht erfolgten Wiederzündung des Gases innerhalb einer vorgegebenen Zeit oder eine Anzahl von vorgegebenen Zündfunken durch eine sofortige Stromunterbrechung zwischen Modulbox und Elektromagneten unterbrochen, so daß kein unverbranntes Gas am Brenner ausströmen kann.The device for securing a gas burning point, especially a gas hob against unburned outflowing gas has one in a gas valve arranged electromagnet 5 (magnet insert), its necessary holding current to open the gas valve 8 during the gas combustion on the burner 4 by a electronic control device 2, in particular a (externally stored) module box on the electromagnet is transmitted with one at the same time in the Device 2 existing electronically controlled ignition and Flame monitoring module, which has a Microswitch 12 a voltage on the spark plug 3 am Burner releases. With a flashover from the The spark plug to the burner is the gas flowing out on Burner ignited, at the same time the gas flame on Burner monitored by the spark plug. When the The burner is automatically ignited again and the gas supply to the burner if there is none Reignition of the gas within a given time or a number of predetermined ignition sparks from one immediate power interruption between module box and Electromagnets interrupted so that no unburned Gas can flow out of the burner.

Durch die Drehung der Hahnachse 7 aus der Geschlossenstellung heraus wird die elektronische Steuerungseinrichtung 2, insbesondere die Modulbox 2, aktiviert und liefert nun Strom für den Elektromagneten (Magneteinsatz 5). Der Gasweg ist bis jetzt noch geschlossen, obwohl das Hahnküken 8 den Gasweg freigibt. Wird nun die Hahnachse 7 einmalig eingedrückt, so wird der Magneteinsatz durch Strom aus der Modulbox offengehalten und das Gas strömt bis zum Brenner 4. Dieses Eindrücken gibt der Modulbox 2 den Befehl Spannung an die Zündkerze 3 zu geben. Beim Überschlag eines Funken zwischen Brenner und Zündkerze wird der Brenner gezündet.By rotating the tap axis 7 from the The electronic position is closed Control device 2, in particular module box 2, activates and supplies current for the electromagnet (Magnet insert 5). The gas path is still so far closed, although the cock plug 8 releases the gas path. If the tap axis 7 is pressed in once, then the magnet insert by electricity from the module box kept open and the gas flows to burner 4. This pushing gives the module box 2 the command voltage to give the spark plug 3. When a spark strikes the burner becomes between the burner and the spark plug ignited.

Wird nach Gebrauch der Brenner 4 ausgeschaltet, das heißt die Hahnachse 7 durch Drehen in die 0-Position gedreht, so unterbricht die Modulbox 2 die Stromzufuhr zum Magneteinsatz 5 und das Gasventil wird geschlossen.If the burner 4 is switched off after use, that is the cock axis 7 is turned to the 0 position, the module box 2 interrupts the power supply to Magnet insert 5 and the gas valve is closed.

Beim Betrieb des Brenners können folgende Störzustände auftreten, die die Sicherheit des Systems nicht beeinflussen.

  • a: Es steht keine Versorgungsspannung 9 zur Verfügung = Gas kann nicht ausströmen.
  • b: Die Versorgungsspannung 9 wird während des Betriebes unterbrochen = Magneteinsatz schließt automatisch = Gas kann nicht ausströmen.
  • c: Die elektrische Verbindung zwischen Modulbox und Zündkerze wird unterbrochen (A3 / E3) = es fließt kein Ionisationsstrom mehr, die Modulbox schaltet den Magneteinsatz ab.
  • d: Die elektrische Verbindung zwischen Magneteinsatz und Modulbox wird unterbrochen (A1 / A2) = Gaszufuhr wird sofort gestoppt.
  • e: Die elektrische Verbindung zwischen Schalter (S1) und Modulbox wird unterbrochen = Gaszufuhr zum Brenner wird durch Schließung des Magnetventils geschlossen, anschließend kann der Brenner nicht mehr in Betrieb genommen werden = Gas strömt nicht aus.
  • f: Die Gaszufuhr vor dem Gaseingang 6 des Gashahnes wird unterbrochen = die Zündkerze versucht den Brenner erneut zu zünden und die Modulbox schaltet sich entweder nach X Zündversuchen oder nach X Sekunden automatisch ab.
  • g: Die Gasflamme 10 wird während des Betriebs gelöscht = Modulbox gibt Spannung an die Zündkerze, Brenner wird gezündet und brennt wieder. Kann der Brenner nicht in Betrieb genommen werden, zum Beispiel es wurde der Brennerdeckel entfernt, so schaltet sich entweder nach X Zündversuchen oder nach X Sekunden das System automatisch ab.
    • The following malfunctions can occur during operation of the burner, which do not affect the safety of the system.
  • a: There is no supply voltage 9 available = gas cannot flow out.
  • b: The supply voltage 9 is interrupted during operation = magnet insert closes automatically = gas cannot flow out.
  • c: The electrical connection between the module box and spark plug is interrupted (A3 / E3) = there is no longer any ionization current, the module box switches off the magnet insert.
  • d: The electrical connection between magnet insert and module box is interrupted (A1 / A2) = gas supply is stopped immediately.
  • e: The electrical connection between switch (S1) and module box is interrupted = gas supply to the burner is closed by closing the solenoid valve, then the burner can no longer be started = gas does not flow out.
  • f: The gas supply in front of the gas inlet 6 of the gas tap is interrupted = the spark plug tries to ignite the burner again and the module box switches itself off either after X ignition attempts or after X seconds.
  • g: The gas flame 10 is extinguished during operation = module box gives voltage to the spark plug, burner is ignited and burns again. If the burner cannot be started, for example the burner cover has been removed, the system switches off automatically either after X ignition attempts or after X seconds.
