When V OFF becomes below a certain level, the output value V OFF is stored, and the minimum opening degree of the proportional valve is set based on the stored value.

(Function) In the present invention, the output of the ignited burner is gradually reduced, and when the burner is extinguished, the output of the thermocouple is rapidly reduced. Therefore, extinguishing of the burner can be detected by detecting that the rate of decrease in the output of the thermocouple falls below a certain level, and the minimum thermocouple value obtained by adding a predetermined minute value α to the output value V OFF of the thermocouple at that time can be detected. By setting the proportional valve opening when a couple output is obtained as the minimum opening, the minimum gas pressure can be automatically set.

In the above structure, after manufacturing, as shown in FIG. 2, the burner 1 is ignited and the large flame gas pressure is adjusted in the same manner as before using the large flame capacity setting volume 6, and then the gas pressure is gradually lowered to After burning with a fire or simmering flame, operate the extinguishing key on the operation unit 4. As a result, the gas supply is stopped, and the rate of decrease in the output (electromotive force) of the thermocouple 7, which is monitored by the microcomputer of the controller 5, rapidly increases. When the rate of decrease in the output of this thermocouple 7 becomes larger than a predetermined value, the output V OFF is set to a predetermined value α.
The value obtained by adding the values is determined as the minimum value of the burner output and is stored in the memory within the controller 5. Then, the opening degree of the proportional valve 2 corresponding to this minimum value is set as the minimum opening degree of the proportional valve 2.

The minimum opening degree may be set in the manufacturing factory or at the installation site. However, if it is carried out in a manufacturing factory, it is necessary to back up the memory of the minimum opening degree set in the controller 5 with a power source such as a battery until it is connected to the power source at the installation site so that the memory of the minimum opening degree set in the controller 5 is not erased. On the other hand, when setting the minimum opening degree at the installation site, the capacity setting at the production stage only requires setting the large fire capacity, which reduces adjustment man-hours and eliminates mistakes in setting the minimum opening degree. let

In addition, since the minimum opening degree is reset each time a fire is extinguished, the minimum opening degree can be optimally changed in response to changes in various conditions that occur over time, and the stove is always kept in the optimal condition. It will be possible to use it.

In the above embodiment, the minimum opening is automatically set during the extinguishing operation after operating the extinguishing key, but the opening of the proportional valve 2 is gradually reduced to a small value without operating the extinguishing key to prevent a misfire. , a value obtained by adding a predetermined value α to the output V OFF of the thermocouple 7 at the time of this misfire may be stored in the memory within the controller 5.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the method for setting the minimum gas pressure for a stove burner of the present invention, the minimum gas pressure is automatically set when the burner is extinguished or misfires.
Therefore, setting the minimum gas pressure at the production stage can be omitted, reducing the number of adjustment steps and eliminating mistakes in setting the minimum opening. In addition, since the minimum opening degree is reset each time a fire is extinguished, the minimum opening degree can be optimally changed in response to changes in various conditions that occur over time, and the stove is always kept in the optimal condition. It will be possible to use it.
