Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the title device for annunciating the cleaning or exchange time of a filter by measuring the current conducting time of the motor of an air filter having a motor-driven fan, and integrating the time. CONSTITUTION:A fan 2 and a motor 3 are provided in the air passage of an air filter 1. A microcomputer 8 operated by the on and off of a power switch 4 is furnished in the power circuit of the motor 3. The current conducting time for the motor 3 is measured by a counter 9. The values of the counter 9 are stored in a nonvolatile memory 12, and the current conducting time is integrated. When the integrated values compared by a comparing means 11 exceeds a specified value, an annunciating means 13 is operated. As a result, a light emitting diode 14 is lit by the annunciating means 13, and the cleaning or exchange time of the filter is announced.

Embodiment The figure shows one embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is an air filter provided in a wind passage, and 2 and 3 are a fan and a motor. 4 is a power switch, and 5 is a commercial power source. The commercial power source 5 is rectified by a diode 6 to create a DC power source 7. 8
is a microcomputer, which includes a collar 1-9 for measuring the energization time of the motor 3, a presetting means 10 for presetting the reading counter when the power is turned on, and a counter 9.
The comparison means 11 outputs when the value of becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined value,
Processed by the program of the microcomputer 8. The counter 9 counts pulses synchronized with the commercial power supply 5 and measures the energization time of the motor 3. Reference numeral 12 denotes a non-volatile memory that stores and recognizes the counter value when the power switch 4 is turned off. 13 is an output information means from the comparison means 11;
14 is a light emitting diode. Next, the operation will be explained.

When the power switch 4 is closed, the motor 3 is energized and at the same time a DC power source 7 is formed. Then, the microcomputer 8 starts operating. Counter 9 is commercial power supply 6
The pulses synchronized with are counted, and the energization time to the motor 3 is measured. The count value is constantly compared with a predetermined value by comparison means 11. Here, when the power switch 4 is opened, the commercial power signal to the counter 9 disappears, so the microcomputer 8 knows that the switch 4 is open, and the counter 9 is output in a short period of time until the DC power supply 7 disappears. The value of is written to the non-volatile memory 12.

Next, when the power switch 4 is closed again, the value stored in the nonvolatile memory 12 is read and preset in the counter by the presetting means 1o. Therefore, the energization time to the motor 3 is added to the previous energization time. By repeating this operation, the comparison means 11 compares the total energization time to the motor 3 (counter value) with a predetermined value.
When the total sum becomes larger, the signal is output, the notification means 13 is driven, and the light emitting diode 14 is turned on.
