Abstract

An ignition control device including a controller section and a remote control section for a gas appliance (e.g., a gas stove or a gas water heater) is disclosed. A signal communication between the controller mounted on a burner of the gas appliance and the remote control section held by the hand is done by transmitting and receiving RF waves therebetween. The invention can correctly ignite the gas appliance and audibly inform a user of any ignition failures or abnormal conditions.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of Invention[0002]The invention relates to ignition controlling device of a gas appliance (e.g., a gas stove or a gas water heater), and more particularly to a device for controlling ignition of such a gas appliance by transmitting and receiving RF (radio frequency) waves between a controller section mounted on a burner of the gas appliance and a remote control section held by the hand.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Devices for controlling ignition of a gas stove (or a gas water heater) are known in the art. A controller section, as one portion of the device, is mounted on, for example, a gas stove as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The controller section comprises a circuit board A, a gas valve B, and a high voltage ignition controller E. On the circuit board A, there are provided a MCU (micro control unit) A1, a receiving module A2 having an antenna A21, a switch A3, a buzzer A4, a first connector A5 connected to the gas valve B, a secon...
