The proportional control valve 6 used in this type of gas combustion control device needs to accurately control the gas flow rate over a wide range from the minimum combustion amount to the maximum combustion amount determined from the burner side, and also controls the gas flow rate to the burner 15. A closing function that completely shuts off is required. The former case is particularly important in air-fuel ratio control, and the latter is because even if the amount of current flowing through the proportional control valve 6 is reduced to zero, gas will leak and the combustion amount will be below the minimum combustion amount, causing problems such as backup fire. It is. In order to solve the former problem, it is necessary to make sure that the electromagnetic force generated by the electromagnetic drive unit B acts faithfully on the valve body 8 without being subjected to disturbances such as sliding friction. It is necessary to select a shape and material for the contact portion between the seat 7 and the valve body 8 so that they will not be locked. Lock here refers to a state in which the valve seat 7 and the valve body 8 are stuck together, or the valve body 8 is stuck to the valve seat 7 side under the force of the closing elastic body 10, making it impossible to open the valve smoothly. . On the other hand, in order to solve the latter problem, a common method is to provide an elastic member at the contact portion between the valve body 8 and the valve seat 7, and to increase the closing force of the closing elastic body 10. However, in this case, since the valve body 8 is held on the valve seat 7 via the elastic member, sticking tends to occur, and the valve body 8 is locked on the valve seat 7 and does not open even when the coil 11 is energized. ,
In particular, control characteristics deteriorate in the small flow rate range. Figure 2 shows this situation, and shows the predetermined coil current I 1
(e.g. slow ignition current to prevent explosive ignition)
Even when electricity is applied, a predetermined gas flow rate Q1 cannot be obtained, and the valve suddenly opens at an unspecified amount of electricity IX that releases the lock, and, for example, an explosion and ignition occurs.

In other words, since it is not possible to solve the former problem and the latter problem at the same time, conventionally it has been necessary to provide a dedicated shutoff valve 5 on the upstream side of the proportional control valve 6, which reduces the cost of the gas combustion control device. This was a factor in the space increase.

Structure of the Invention To achieve this object, the present invention provides a proportional control valve that has an elastic member on at least one of a valve body and a valve seat, and is provided with a closing elastic body that biases the valve body in a valve closing direction. and a temperature sensing element that detects the temperature of the load.
A gas burner is provided, and when the gas burner is ignited, the proportional control valve is instantaneously driven by a drive signal larger than the full-open signal of the proportional control valve, and the valve body and the valve seat are prevented from sticking or fitting together. and a controller that supplies a slow ignition signal to the proportional control valve after the lock release operation and then controls the proportional control valve using the signal from the temperature sensing element.

With this configuration, the valve body is pressed against the valve seat via an elastic member, so gas is completely shut off, and when the gas burner is ignited, that is, when the proportional control valve is opened, the valve body and valve seat are locked. Even in this state, the operation of the lock release circuit momentarily applies a force to release the lock of the proportional control valve, and after that, after performing slow ignition, normal proportional control operation begins. Therefore, the proportional control valve satisfies both the closing function and stable gas amount control over a wide range from small flow rates to large flow rates.

In FIG. 3, 2 is a solenoid valve, and a proportional control valve 6a and a pilot passage 3 are branched downstream from the solenoid valve 2. A closing elastic member 8a is provided at the contact portion of the valve body 8 of the proportional control valve 6a with the valve seat 7, and the valve body 8 is moved toward the valve seat 7 by the action of the valve closing elastic body 10a. is pressed elastically through the gas flow path, completely blocking the gas flow path. 21
When the gas burner 15 is ignited, the electric current required to apply electromagnetic force to the valve body 8 is generated by simply releasing the lock between the valve seat 7 and the valve body 8 in the coil 11 of the proportional control valve 6a. A slope detection circuit 22 is a lock release circuit that supplies the current regardless of the signal of the element 17, and detects the direction of increase or decrease near the zero point of the current supplied from the controller 18 to the coil 11, and the detection signal of the slope detection circuit 22. The pulse input circuit 23 provides an instantaneous lock release input to the coil 11 only when the value is in the increasing direction. That is, pulse input is supplied to the coil 11 only when the gas burner 15 is ignited.

The locking of the valve seat 7 and the valve body 8 depends on the contact area, shape, and material of the valve seat 7 and the elastic member 8a, the operating force of the closing elastic body 10a, the environment such as temperature and humidity, and the length of time the valve is left. However, the pulse input signal, ie, the driving force for releasing the lock, is determined in consideration of these conditions. In this embodiment, this pulse input signal is set to a value larger than the full open signal of the proportional control valve, as will be described later. This is because if the driving force is less than the full open signal of the proportional control valve, it may not be possible to reliably release the valve lock, for example, if the combustion equipment is used after being left inactive for one month or half a year or more. The rest of the structure is the same as the conventional example shown in FIG. 1, and the same reference numerals are used to omit the explanation.

When the main valve 1 is opened and the main solenoid valve 2 is turned on, gas passes through the pilot passage 3 and is ejected from the pilot burner 4, and is ignited by the operation of an ignition element (not shown). On the other hand, gas also flows into the primary side of the proportional control valve 6a, and its supply pressure acts on the diaphragm 9 and the valve body 8, but the valve body 8 does not displace because the effective pressure-receiving areas are made equal. Further, since the valve body 8 is elastically pressed tightly against the valve seat 7 via the elastic member 8a by the closing elastic body 10a, there is no gas leakage to the downstream side of the valve seat 7. Next, when there is a request for heat, the controller 18 starts energizing the coil 11 of the proportional control valve 6a. At this time, the slope detection circuit 22 detects that the energization signal is in the increasing direction,
Therefore, the pulse input circuit 23 operates and pulses are input to the coil 11. Due to the pulse input, the plunger 14 is momentarily subjected to a large force and is displaced downward, the valve seat 7 and the valve body 8 are separated, and the lock is released. Thereafter, the controller 18 supplies a current value for slow ignition to the coil 11, and gas corresponding to the current value flows into the gas burner 15, receives the flame of the pilot burner 4, and performs slow ignition. Next, faucet 19
When the shower head is opened, the water undergoes heat exchange in the heat exchanger 16, becomes hot water, and is ejected from the shower head. The temperature of the hot water is detected by the temperature sensor 17, and the detection signal is compared with a signal from a hot water temperature setting device (not shown), and the value of the current to the coil 11 is determined according to the deviation signal. In other words, the current of the coil 11 is controlled so that the hot water temperature reaches the set temperature, and the combustion amount is controlled within the range from the minimum combustion amount to the maximum combustion amount. This situation will be explained in more detail based on the control characteristics shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, the horizontal axis shows the current value supplied to the coil 11, and the vertical axis shows the control gas flow rate of the proportional control valve 6a. When there is a heat request, the controller 18 starts energizing the coil 11. At this time, near the zero point ( Is ) of the current value, the slope detection circuit 22 detects that the current is increasing, and turns on the pulse input circuit 23. Pulse input circuit 2
3 instantaneously supplies the coil 11 with a pulse current Ir larger than the full opening current In of the proportional control valve 6a, and as a result, the valve body 8 is displaced downward against the press-fit holding force and is unlocked. . At this time, gas flows into the downstream side of the valve seat 7, but only momentarily, and the effect of removing air from the piping section from the proportional control valve 6a to the gas burner 15, in other words, a pre-purge effect is obtained. Immediately thereafter, the coil current is limited by the controller 18 to the slow ignition current I p , the gas flow rate becomes Q p , and the pre-purge effect quickly causes slow ignition. After slow ignition, the control current changes in the range of I n to I T according to the signal from the temperature sensing element 17, and the flow rate can be stably controlled within the range from the maximum flow rate Q n to the minimum flow rate Q T. When the combustion of the gas burner 15 is to be stopped, the amount of current applied to the coil 11 is reduced to zero, thereby bringing the proportional control valve 6a into an initial state and completely closing the proportional control valve 6a. At this time, the current I becomes the detection current Is of the slope detection circuit 22, but since it is in the decreasing direction, the pulse input circuit 23 does not operate.

In this way, in this embodiment, the valve body 8 is elastically pressed against the valve seat 7 via the elastic member 8a by the action of the closing elastic body 10a to achieve complete closing, and this is achieved by providing the elastic body 8a. The lock of the valve body 8 of the valve seat 7 is forcibly released only at the time of ignition by the lock release circuit 21, thereby realizing the valve closing function of the proportional control valve 6a and preventing deterioration of the control characteristics. By adding the closing function, it is possible to eliminate the need for a solenoid valve dedicated to closing the proportional control valve 6a, making it possible to realize cost reduction and downsizing of the gas combustion control device, and to obtain stable control performance. This realizes a compact water heater with less fluctuation in hot water temperature. Also, the lock release circuit 21 is connected to a slope detection circuit 22 that detects the direction of increase or decrease in the amount of current near the zero point. Since the pulse input circuit 23 is configured to supply a pulse signal to the coil 11 only when the signal is in the increasing direction, the means for supplying the pulse input only when the gas burner 15 is ignited can be made compact. ,
The pulse input amount I r can be easily varied as required. Furthermore, since slow ignition is performed immediately after the proportional control valve 6a is unlocked, the slow ignition flow rate Q p flows after removing the air in the piping from the proportional control valve 6a to the gas burner 15 at the time of initial ignition, resulting in smooth and reliable ignition. Slow ignition is done. Furthermore, by making the proportional control valve 6a a pressure control type that applies the force of the electromagnetic drive section B to the governor section A, there is no need to separately install a gas governor, and compactness can be realized.

(1) Each time the burner is ignited, the proportional control valve is forcibly opened with a drive signal greater than the full open signal, and after the lock is released, the valve is closed by providing an elastic member in order to shift to slow ignition and proportional control. Stable and highly accurate flow control can be achieved even with proportional control valves. This is particularly suitable when operating the proportional control valve after it has been left unused for a long period of time. This also improves the durability of the gas combustion control device.
