Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent stop of water supply even if a semi-conductor switch is shortcircuited when current of an electric motor is within an allowable range. CONSTITUTION:In an automatic water feed device to which a semi-conductor switch for controlling a pump is connected and having a main switch, only when currents of electric motors 3, 4 after transfer of off-signals to semi-conductor switches 17, 18 are at a prescribed values or more a main switch 19 is cut off. It is thus possible to supply water continually since the main switch 19 is not broken even if the semi-conductor switches 17, 18 are shortcircuited in the case where current of the electric motors 3, 4 are prescribed values or less.

Normally, for example, when the pump 1 is first started in response to a start signal from the pressure detection unit 11, then the pump 1 is stopped in response to a stop signal from the flow rate detection unit 6 or the current detection unit 15. Next, when the start signal is input from the pressure detection unit 11, the pump 2 is started and the alternate operation is performed.

Alternatively, when the alternate / parallel operation mode is set, when the parallel signal is sent from the current detection section 15 while the pump 1 is in the operating state, the pump 2 is started and the two parallel operations are performed. When the disconnection signal is sent in this state, the pump 1 is disconnected and the pump 2 is operated independently.

Then, the main controller 20 calculates the minimum value kI of the electric motor current for shutting off the main switch 19, using the rated current I of the electric motors 3 and 4 and the coefficient k (k≤1). After the OFF signal is sent to the semiconductor switches 17 and 18, when the electric motor current i becomes equal to or more than another predetermined value smaller than the minimum value kI, a switch short circuit alarm is sent, and if i ≧ kI. It is configured to send a shutoff signal to the main switch 19. That is, kI
Is set to the maximum value that allows continuous energization, the motors 3 and 4 are continuously operated without causing a burnout accident in the region of i <kI, and when i ≧ kI, the main switch 19
Will be shut off. Therefore, as compared with the conventional example in which the semiconductor switches 17 and 18 are stopped immediately when a short circuit is detected, the chance of water interruption is greatly reduced.

If the maximum current value allowed for continuous energization when the pump is stopped is, for example, I / 2,
The minimum value of the electric motor current that should shut off the main switch 19 is I / 2.
It is considered safest to set to. But,
When the pump is in a normal operating state, the pump casing, the electric motor, etc. are sufficiently cooled.
If it is I, it can be said that it is safe, and needless to say, if it is set in this way, the current region in which continuous operation is allowed is further expanded, so that the chance of water interruption can be further reduced. In such a case, it is desirable to set the current value at which the switch short circuit alarm is sent to, for example, about I / 2.

Further, in the main control section 20, when the motor current i is not detected after the ON signal is sent to the semiconductor switches 17 and 18, it is determined that the semiconductor switch has failed in the open mode, and a switch open alarm is sent out. Only the faulty semiconductor switch side is operated independently.

In the above embodiment, the main switch 19 is shut off only when the motor current i after the OFF signal is sent to the semiconductor switches 17 and 18 is a predetermined value kI (eg, k = 1 or 1/2) or more. Therefore, even if the semiconductor switches 17 and 18 are short-circuited, the electric motors 3 and 4 are not immediately stopped, and therefore the chance of water cutoff is greatly reduced compared to the conventional case. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention.
