が必要とされる。(Prior Art) Conventionally, as a device for controlling the air blowing amount of a fan, a rotational speed detector or an air volume sensor is used, and the fan drive output is corrected based on the detected values to control the fan to a target air volume. There is. In particular, the air volume control of the combustor needs to be performed with high accuracy because a dangerous mode of abnormal combustion occurs if the fuel amount and the air amount are not supplied in a well-balanced manner. This is also true for household combustion appliances such as water heaters, hot water heaters, and bath kettles. However, in household combustion appliances, control involving sophisticated and complicated devices is costly and cannot be used unnecessarily, and since these appliances are mainly installed outdoors, there is little human eye. Without touching
Maintenance inspections cannot be expected from the user. Therefore, an inexpensive and maintenance-free air volume control device is required.

To keep rotating, a separate device for detecting a closed state is required. on the other hand,
In the case of using the air volume sensor, the air volume can be actually detected, so that the closed state can be detected. However, there is a problem that the characteristics of the sensor change over a long period of time.

Is a combustor such as a burner, and the fuel amount is controlled to increase or decrease by a proportional control valve 5. Reference numeral 6 denotes a control device composed of a microcomputer or the like, which drives and controls the proportional control valve 5 and the fan motor 2. The control device 6 is programmed with a combustion sequence, and stores an initial state storage means for storing a relationship between a fan drive output (voltage) and an air flow sensor output (voltage) at the time of pre-purge during the first fan operation after the power is turned on. 61, the current storage means 62 for storing the relationship between the fan drive output and the air flow sensor output for each pre-purge during the second and subsequent fan operation, and the storage contents of the initial state storage means 61 and the current storage means 62 are compared. A correction means 63 for calculating a correction value of the air flow sensor output, and a fan drive means 64 for calculating the fan drive output by adding the correction value to the air flow sensor output detected in accordance with the operating state of the fan. It is configured.

われる。Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. When the first combustion is performed after the power is turned on, the fan motor 2 is driven and prepurge is performed prior to the combustion. At this time, the fan drive voltage is kept constant, and the output voltage of the air volume sensor 3 at that time is read. The same operation is performed by changing the fan drive voltage a plurality of times.
The relationship with the output voltage is stored. That is, the characteristic f (w) indicated by the solid line in FIG. 2 is obtained. At this time, since the correction value is 0, the air volume is controlled according to this characteristic, and combustion is performed.

なる。From the second time after the power is turned on, the fan drive voltage and the output voltage of the air flow sensor 3 are read in the same manner at the time of pre-purge, but this relationship is stored separately from the initial value and updated every time the fan is operated. Over a long period of time, the characteristics of the airflow sensor 3 change due to aging, dust adhesion, and the like. The characteristic g (w) at this time is indicated by a broken line in FIG. By controlling in this state, the fan driving voltage even proper airflow in fact are output in w 2, air flow sensor 3
The output of the V 4 is. In other words, it will be result in detection and not out only the air volume of the output equivalent of w 3, increase the fan output to the output of V 2 comes out, resulting in the w 4. Then, the air-fuel ratio changes and abnormal combustion occurs. Therefore, the correction means 63 compares the initial characteristic f (w) with the current characteristic g (w), and calculates the difference to obtain a correction value. Then, the correction value is added to the current characteristic g (w) to obtain the correction characteristic h (w), and the fan drive output is controlled based on this. For example, if the combustion of the maximum amount of gas is required, although the fan drive voltage outputs w 2, airflow sensor output according to this
V 2, and the fact that the fan driving voltage resulting in a w 4 is eliminated.

価値の高いものである。(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention corrects the characteristics of the air flow sensor to be equal to the initial state, so that even if the characteristics of the air flow sensor change due to aging, adhesion of dust, etc., proper fan drive is always performed. Output can be obtained, and stable combustion can be maintained even when adopted for a combustion appliance that is not maintained for a long time. In addition, it does not require a separate device, and can be manufactured at low cost. Further, it is possible to cope with a change in the characteristics of the air flow sensor due to the ambient temperature, which is extremely useful.
