Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the user's feeling of uneasiness and let a user know to take a proper treatment promptly by counting a specified time with a timer circuit, to generate output while a feed water solenoid valve is electrified, when feed water pressure is lowered, and lighting a LED. CONSTITUTION:Voltage is always applied to a low water pressure detecting circuit; and to a timer circuit 25, voltage is applied and working can be performed only when a feed water solenoid valve 10 is electrified. Accordingly, when feed water pressure is normal, then voltage is not applied to a photo- coupler 23 at a time point when electrification to the feed water solenoid valve 10 is interrupted, and so a photo-transistor 23B and a transistor 24 are turned OFF, and the timer circuit 25 is in non-working state and is set to zero. Besides, when the feed water pressure is lowered and a LED 19 is once lighted, then even if following electrification to the feed water solenoid valve 10 is interrupted and the photo-transistor 23B is turned OFF, the output of the timer circuit 25 is kept 'H' by the working of a diode 29, and as long as a power source is not interrupted, the LED 19 is continuously lighted. As a result, a user can quickly confirm the lowering of the feed water pressure.

Next, the present invention will be explained in detail based on the above configuration and the electric circuit shown in FIG. In the standby state, the water level of the heating tank (2) is maintained at the position indicated by the dashed line (X). When the extraction switch (18) is pressed here, the first relay (20) is energized and switches its contact from the normally closed contact (20A) to the normally closed contact (20B) and closes the self-holding contact (20C). maintain self. This results in
The water supply solenoid valve (10) is energized, the solenoid valve (10) is opened, and pressurized water passes through the water supply pipe (9) to the heating tank (2).
is supplied with water. The water level in the heating tank (2) rises due to this water supply, and when it reaches a level slightly below the level at which the siphon effect starts, the reed switch (15) closes and the delay timer (21) starts, and a predetermined period of time (e.g. 3 seconds), the time switch (21A) closes and the second relay (22) is energized.Then, the contact is switched from the normally closed contact (22A>) to the normally closed contact (22B), and the other normally closed contact (22B) is switched.

By the way, when the water supply solenoid valve <10) is energized by pressing the extraction switch (18), heavy pressure is simultaneously applied to the signal input circuit of the low water pressure detection circuit. That is, current flows through the L E D (23A) of the photocoupler (23>), which causes the phototransistor (23B) on the secondary side to
turns on. Then, the base potential of the transistor (24) decreases, and the transistor (24) is turned on. By turning on this transistor (24), the timer circuit (25)
Heavy pressure is applied to the machine and the timer starts operating. The timer time is set by a variable resistor (26) and a capacitor (27).This timer time is the time from when the extraction switch (18) is pressed until the siphon effect starts when the water supply pressure is normal (example). If the water supply pressure is 0.

Thus, a voltage is always applied to the low water pressure detection circuit, and a voltage is applied to the timer circuit (25) only when the water supply solenoid valve (10) is energized, so that it can operate. Therefore, when the water supply time is shorter than the timer operation time, that is, when the water supply pressure is normal, the voltage application to the photocoupler (23) is stopped when the water supply solenoid valve (10) is de-energized. Therefore, the phototransistor (23B) and the transistor (24) are turned off, and the timer circuit (25) becomes inactive and set to zero.
