実験値で示すと次のとおりである。
The present invention relates to a water heater that automatically keeps hot water at a high temperature once it has been boiled. A large amount of hot water is used in each home, workplace, etc., and for drinking and drinking, it must be boiled each time on an electric stove or gas stove, or the hot water can be kept warm in a thermos flask. are doing. However, it is inconvenient to boil it every time.
In addition, if a thermos bottle is kept warm for a long time, the water temperature will drop to a temperature unsuitable for drinking coffee, etc. The water heater of the present invention always maintains a water temperature of, for example, 90°C.
The purpose is to maintain the temperature at a higher temperature and safely. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention boils water in a tank using main and auxiliary heaters, and uses a detection element whose detection surface looks into a passage that guides the boiling steam to the outside of the main body to detect the boiling point. The system detects steam and turns the main heater on and off, and also continuously energizes the auxiliary heater to constantly provide hot water at a temperature close to boiling. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes the main body of the water heater, which is placed on a base 2, with a front frame 3 provided on the front thereof, and an upper frame 4 placed on top. Reference numeral 5 denotes an inner container, and a tensile force is applied toward the base 2 by several screws 6, so that the outer peripheral flange engages with the upper frame 4. Also upper frame 4
There is a rubber packing 7 between the outer peripheral flange of the inner container 5 and the inner container 5, so that water does not enter between the main body 1 and the inner container 5. Further, a certain amount of heat insulating material 8 such as glass wool is provided between the inner container 5 and the main body 1. 9 is an auxiliary heater installed in the inner container 5. On the bottom surface of the inner container 5 is an aluminum hot plate 12 into which a main heater 11 is cast via a spring 10, and a tank 13 is removably mounted on this hot plate 12. Airtightness between the tank 13 and the inner container 5 is maintained by attaching a rubber packing 14 to the flange of the tank 13 and pressing the rubber packing 14 at several points 15' provided on the outer lid 15. Further, a water level gauge 16 made of a glass tube is attached to the front of the tank 13, and the inner container 5 and front frame 3 in front of the water level gauge 16 are connected to the water level gauge 16.
The structure is such that you can see it. Reference numeral 17 denotes a pouring pump inserted into the tank 13, which is, for example, an axial flow pump. 18 is pump 1
7 and its motor section 20. 1
Reference numeral 9 denotes an inner lid that covers a part of the opening of the tank 13, to which the pump 17 is attached, and can be used together with the pump 17. The motor section 20 is, for example, a 24V DC motor, and is provided inside the outer cover 15, with a sealed structure to prevent steam from entering. 21 is a switch of the motor section 20. A hole 22 for steam to escape is provided in a part of the inner lid 19, and a steam passage 23 is provided in one corner of the upper frame 4. 24 is passage 23
This is a vapor detection element with the detection surface visible. 2
Reference numeral 5 denotes a dry firing prevention device such as a ferrite thermometer installed at the center of the hot plate 12 in order to prevent an abnormal temperature rise in the event of dry firing, and this is a manual reset type for safety. 26 is its manual return lever, and 27 is its switch contact. The electric circuit is as shown in FIG. 3, where 29 is a diode and 30 is a transformer. Next, the function and operation of the water heater having the above configuration will be explained. First, open the outer lid 15 and inner lid 19, pour water (for example, 2.5 liters) into the tank 13, and then open the inner lid 1.
9. Close the outer lid 15 and set it to the state shown in FIG. Next, the lever 26 is pressed to energize the main heater 11 (for example, 600W) and the auxiliary heater 9 (for example, 50W). Tank 13 is turned on after 1 minute (within 30 minutes) after energization.
The water inside boils, steam is generated, and the steam is blown out through the passage 23. At that time, the temperature of the vapor detection part of the detection element 24 rose rapidly to 50 to 60℃ in a few seconds.
The OFF temperature T OFF of the sensing element 24 increases (Example 80
℃), the detection element 24 indicates that the main heater 1 is disconnected.
Power to 1 is stopped. In this way, the temperature of the vapor detection section rises very quickly, so the detection element 24 should be turned off.
Even if the temperature T OFF varies by about 10°C, there is almost no effect. After the main heater 11 is turned off, the temperature is kept by the auxiliary heater 9, which is continuously energized, and the heat insulating material 8, but the temperature of the water drops very slowly, and during that time, the steam detection section runs out of steam. It is also cooled by the outside air, and the temperature drops more rapidly than the water temperature.
When the ON temperature of the sensing element 24 reaches T ON (for example, 55° C.), the main heater 11 is turned ON again and the water boils. The water heater keeps it warm by repeating this operation. At this time, in order to extend the life of the sensing element 24,
The ON-OFF cycle is t 2 minutes (20 minutes) under any conditions.
above), and the capacity of the auxiliary heater 9 and the detection element 24 are adjusted so that the water temperature is kept at 90°C or higher.
Set the ON temperature T ON . Further, the capacity of the auxiliary heater 9 is set so as to minimize the decrease in hot water due to evaporation. Next, when the switch 21 is turned on, hot water is poured from the spout 28 by the pump 17. Further, the amount of remaining water can be confirmed by the water level gauge 16, and in the event that dry firing is performed, the dry burning prevention device 25 is activated and the power supply to the main heater 9 is cut off. When dry firing is performed and the dry firing prevention device 25 is turned off, the heaters 11 and 9 are energized again when the lever 26 is cooled down by adding water or the like and the lever 26 is pressed. Here, characteristic problems in steam detection are greatly affected by room temperature fluctuations and water volume fluctuations. In other words, the temperature of the steam detection section has little relation to the water temperature. As a means to solve this problem, the heat retention effect is increased by using a heat insulating material 8, etc., and by providing an auxiliary heater 9 of several tens of watts, the cooling rate is slowed down when the amount of water is low. It is able to keep the water temperature high without being affected by fluctuations much.
The experimental values are as follows.

[Table] The effects of this control are that boiling can be detected as shown in Fig. 5A, the water temperature can be kept high, and the amount of evaporation is small because the energization time during heat retention is short. However, if a method is used to reduce the differential of the sensing element as shown in Figure 5 (c), the ON-OFF cycle of the heater is short, resulting in a large amount of evaporation, and the life of the sensing element switch is also increased. must be guaranteed. twenty four
If the sensor is guaranteed for 5 years based on time use, one cycle is about 10 minutes, and the detection element is required to have a lifespan of about 300,000 openings and closings, but in reality, there are no inexpensive devices that can withstand this. Furthermore, if the auxiliary heater 9 is not energized as shown in FIG. As described above, the water heater of the present invention has a main heater and an auxiliary heater, and the main heater is turned on by a detection element that detects steam during boiling by looking into a passage that guides steam during boiling out of the main body. The auxiliary heater is energized continuously, so the water always boils and maintains a high water temperature.
It can be used not only for tea but also for instant noodles, etc., and because it is sterilized by boiling, it can also be used for infant milk. Moreover, since it is a vapor detection type, there is no need to strictly manage the detection element. Furthermore, since the sensing surface of the sensing element faces the steam passage, it is less affected by the surrounding environment and can be controlled reliably.
