[0011] A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be briefly described below, showing the operation of the present invention.

[0012] The present invention includes a main body, a heat source that generates heat, an operation unit provided in the main body and instructing the operation of the main body, a receiving unit that receives a signal from a remote control means capable of instructing the operation of the main body, a vibration detection means that detects vibration of the main body, and a control unit, and the control unit sets a remote operation prohibition mode in which an operation start instruction from the remote control means is not executed when the vibration detection means detects vibration. When the vibration detection means detects vibration, it is considered that an earthquake has occurred, and there is a possibility that flammable materials have fallen around the main body. However, if the user is not near the main body, he or she will not be able to notice that there are flammable materials around the main body, and if the operation of the main body is started in such a situation, the safety of the main body may be compromised. Therefore, when vibration is detected, not only during operation of the main body but also when it is stopped, the operation of the main body is prevented from being started from the remote control means thereafter, thereby improving the safety of the main body.

[0013] The main body also includes a display unit that displays the state of the main body, and the control unit displays on the display unit that the remote operation prohibition mode is set when the remote operation prohibition mode is set. This makes it possible to inform people near the main body that the remote operation prohibition mode is set in the event of an earthquake or when a person near the main body accidentally vibrates the main body, and to urge them to cancel the remote operation prohibition mode.

[0014] The device also includes a transmission unit that transmits status information, which is information related to the status of the main body, to the remote control means, and the status information includes information indicating that the vibration detection means has detected vibration or that an operation start instruction from the remote control means has not been executed, and the control unit transmits the status information from the transmission unit to the remote control means when the vibration detection means detects vibration. This makes it possible to inform the user operating the remote control means that operation of the main body cannot be started from the remote control means.

[0015] The device also includes a transmission unit that transmits status information, which is information related to the status of the main body, to the remote control means, and the status information includes information indicating that the vibration detection unit has detected vibration or that an operation start instruction from the remote control means has not been executed, and the control unit transmits the status information from the transmission unit to the remote control means when the receiving unit receives a signal from the remote control means in the remote operation prohibited mode, thereby notifying the user operating the remote control means that operation of the main body cannot be started from the remote control means.

[0016] The control unit further has a remote operation disabled mode in which instructions from the remote operation means are not executed, and a remote operation enabled mode in which instructions from the remote operation means can be executed. A user can switch between these modes by operating a setting means provided on the main body, and set the remote operation enabled mode when the user wants to operate the heating device remotely, and set the remote operation disabled mode when the user does not want to operate the heating device remotely. Then, when the setting means is operated in the remote operation prohibited mode, the control unit cancels the remote operation prohibited mode. Since the setting means is provided on the main body, the person operating the setting means can cancel the remote operation prohibited mode after confirming that there is no flammable material around the main body. This allows the remote operation prohibited mode to be canceled without providing a separate means for canceling the remote operation prohibited mode, achieving both safety and convenience.

[0017] In addition, when an operation start instruction is executed from the operation unit in the remote operation prohibited mode, the control unit cancels the remote operation prohibited mode when the operation starts or after a predetermined time has elapsed since the operation starts. This improves convenience because the remote operation prohibited mode is automatically cancelled in response to the operation start instruction. EXAMPLES

[0018] (First embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a heating device including a burner unit as a heat source will be described, but other heat sources such as a ceramic heater or a carbon heater may be used.

[0019] Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a heating device in the first embodiment, and Fig. 2 is a diagram explaining a plurality of modes related to remote control in the first embodiment. The heating device can be operated by a remote control means (not shown). The remote control means can be a smartphone connected to the main body 1 via a network, and the communication method between the main body 1 and the remote control means is not particularly important.

[0020] The control unit 60 controls the operation of the main body 1 and receives operation-related instructions from the receiving unit 20 that receives signals from the remote control means and the operation unit 100 that is provided with various switches operated by the user. The operation unit 100 is provided with various switches operated by the user, and in this embodiment, it includes an operation switch 101 that instructs the start and stop of the operation of the main body 1, and a remote operation setting switch 103 as a setting means that can selectively set either a remote operation prohibited mode or a remote operation enabled mode, which will be described later. The remote operation setting switch 103 only needs to be provided on the main body 1, and may be provided outside the operation unit 100. Furthermore, information from various detection means is input to the control unit 60. As an example of the various detection means, in this embodiment, it includes a vibration detection means 50 that detects the vibration of the main body 1. The control unit 60 controls the combustion amount of the burner unit 6, which is a heat source, based on the operation-related instructions and information input from these to perform heating operation. The various switches and detection means are not limited to those in this embodiment, and other switches and detection means may be provided.

[0021] The control unit 60 also has a remote operation prohibition mode and a remote operation enable mode as modes related to remote operation, and has a storage unit 61 that stores which mode has been set. The remote operation prohibition mode is a mode in which an operation start instruction from a remote operation means to the main body 1 is not executed, and the remote operation enable mode is a mode in which an instruction from the remote operation means to the main body 1 can be executed. By operating the remote operation setting switch 103, the user can set the remote operation enable mode when remote operation is desired, and can set the remote operation prohibition mode when operation of the main body 1 is not desired to be started from the remote operation means (arrows A and B in FIG. 2). In the remote operation prohibition mode, the control unit 60 may not operate the receiving unit 20 so as not to receive a signal from the remote operation means, and may not cause the main body 1 to execute an operation start instruction received by the receiving unit 20.

[0022] In addition, when the vibration detection means 50 detects vibrations of a predetermined level or more, the control unit 60 automatically sets the remote operation prohibition mode (arrow B in FIG. 2). When the vibration detection means 50 detects vibrations of a predetermined level or more, it is possible that an earthquake has occurred, and that flammable objects (e.g., laundry, etc.) have fallen around the main body 1. The user of the remote control means is highly likely not to be near the main body 1, and even if there are flammable objects around the main body 1, they will not be able to notice them. Therefore, if an operation start instruction from the remote control means is executed, there is a risk of compromising safety. Therefore, when the vibration detection means 50 detects vibration, the control unit 60 sets the remote operation prohibition mode in which the operation start instruction from the remote control means is not executed. As a result, if vibration is detected, not only during operation but also when the main body 1 is stopped, the operation of the main body 1 cannot be started from the remote control means thereafter, thereby improving the safety of the main body 1.

[0023] Furthermore, when an operation start instruction is executed from the operation unit 100 in the remote operation prohibition mode, the control unit 60 may cancel the remote operation prohibition mode when operation starts or after a predetermined time has elapsed since the operation start. Input of an operation start instruction from the operation unit 100 means that it has been confirmed that there is a person near the main body 1 and that there is no flammable material around the main body 1, making it a safe state. Therefore, by executing an operation start instruction or canceling the remote operation prohibition mode after a predetermined time has elapsed since the operation start, the remote operation prohibition mode is automatically cancelled, improving convenience.

[0024] Second embodiment Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 3 to Fig. 6. In this embodiment, a fan heater that burns liquid fuel will be described as an example of a heating device, but it may be one that burns gas or an electric heater that uses a heater or the like.

[0025] 3 is a configuration diagram of a fan heater in the second embodiment. The main body 1 of the fan heater is provided with a fuel tank 2 that is detachably attached to the main body 1 and supplies liquid fuel such as kerosene, an oil tray 3 on which the fuel tank 2 is placed and which stores a predetermined amount of liquid fuel supplied from the fuel tank 2, an electromagnetic pump 4 that draws up the liquid fuel stored in the oil tray 3, a vaporizer 5 that heats and vaporizes the liquid fuel drawn up by the electromagnetic pump 4, a burner unit 6 that burns the vaporized gas generated by the vaporizer 5 and serves as a heat source, an operation unit 100 provided with switches for instructing the operation of the fan heater, and a display unit 200 that displays the operating state.

[0026] A blower 9 (see Figure 4) is attached to the back of the main body 1 to supply air into the inside of the main body 1. The combustion exhaust gas generated by combustion in the burner section 6 is mixed with the air supplied from the blower 9 to become hot air, which is then discharged from the air outlet 10 to heat the room.

[0027] Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a fan heater in the second embodiment, and Fig. 5 is an enlarged view of an operation unit and a display unit in the second embodiment. The fan heater can be operated by a remote control means (not shown), and includes a receiving unit 20 that receives a signal from the remote control means, and a transmitting unit 30 that transmits status information, which is information relating to the status of the main body 1, to the remote control means. The remote control means can be a smartphone connected to the main body 1 via a network, and the communication method between the main body 1 and the remote control means is not particularly important.

[0028] The control unit 60, which controls the operation of the main body 1, receives instructions related to operation from the operation unit 100 and the receiving unit 20. The operation unit 100 is provided with various switches operated by the user, and in this embodiment, it is provided with an operation switch 101 that instructs the start and stop of the operation of the main body 1, a temperature setting switch 102 that sets the target temperature in the room, and a remote operation setting switch 103 as a setting means that can selectively set either a remote operation disabled mode or a remote operation enabled mode described later. The remote operation setting switch 103 may be provided on the main body 1, for example, on the back of the main body 1. Furthermore, information from various detection means is input to the control unit 60. As various detection means, in this embodiment, it is provided with a room temperature detection means 40 that detects the temperature of the indoor air and a vibration detection means 50 that detects the vibration of the main body. The various switches and various detection means are not limited to those in this embodiment, and other switches and detection means may be provided.

[0029] The output side of the control unit 60 is connected to the electromagnetic pump 4, the blower 9, the vaporizing heater 7 for heating the vaporizer 5, and the display unit 200. The control unit 60 controls the electromagnetic pump 4, the blower 9, and the vaporizing heater 7 based on the inputted instructions and information related to the operation, adjusts the amount of combustion in the burner unit 6, and operates so that the room temperature becomes the target temperature. The display unit 200 is composed of a liquid crystal display unit 201, an operation lamp 202, and a remote control setting lamp 203. The liquid crystal display unit 201 displays the room temperature detected by the room temperature detection means 40 and the target temperature. The operation lamp 202 lights up when the main body 1 is operating and turns off when the main body 1 is stopped, thereby indicating the operating state of the main body 1. The remote control setting lamp 203 will be described later. Furthermore, the transmission unit 30 is connected to the output side, and transmits the state information of the main body 1 to the remote control means.

[0030] The control unit 60 also includes a storage unit 61, and a plurality of modes relating to remote control are stored in the storage unit 61. The plurality of modes will be described later.

[0031] The operation of the fan heater described above will be described. When the fan heater is instructed to start operation from the operation switch 101 or remote control means, the operation lamp 202 lights up, and first, the vaporization heater 7 that heats the vaporizer 5 starts to be energized. When the temperature of the vaporizer 5 reaches a temperature at which the liquid fuel can be vaporized by the heating of the vaporization heater 7, the electromagnetic pump 4 is driven to supply the liquid fuel to the vaporizer 5, and the liquid fuel supplied to the vaporizer 5 is heated and vaporized to become vaporized gas. The vaporized gas is then supplied from the tip of the vaporizer 5 to the burner unit 6, where combustion takes place. The combustion exhaust gas generated by the combustion is mixed with air from the blower 9 to become hot air, which is then discharged from the air outlet 10. The control unit 60 performs heating operation based on the inputted operation-related instructions and information, and brings the room temperature close to the target temperature set by the temperature setting switch 102.

[0032] Next, a plurality of modes related to remote operation will be described with reference to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a plurality of modes related to remote operation in the second embodiment. The storage unit 61 stores three modes related to remote operation: a remote operation disabled mode, a remote operation enabled mode, and a remote operation prohibited mode. The remote operation disabled mode is a mode in which an instruction from a remote operation means is not executed, and when the main body 1 and the remote operation means are connected via a network, the main body 1 needs to be shipped in a state in which remote operation is disabled at the time of shipment, so the remote operation disabled mode is set at the time of shipment. In this mode, the control unit 60 does not operate the receiving unit 20 and the transmitting unit 30. Alternatively, the transmitting unit 30 may not be operated, and the receiving unit 20 may be operated, but the main body 1 may not execute an instruction received by the receiving unit 20. In addition, the remote operation enabled mode is a mode in which an instruction from a remote operation means can be executed.

[0033] The remote control setting switch 103 can be used to switch between the remote control disabled mode and the remote control enabled mode (arrows A and B in the figure). If the user wishes to operate the heating device remotely, the switch is set to the remote control enabled mode, and if the user does not wish to operate the heating device remotely, the switch is set to the remote control disabled mode. Which mode is set is indicated by the remote control setting lamp 203; for example, if the remote control disabled mode is set, the remote control setting lamp 203 is turned off, and if the remote control enabled mode is set, the remote control setting lamp 203 is turned on.

[0034] The remote operation prohibited mode is a mode in which an operation start command from a remote operation means is not executed, and is set when the vibration detection means 50 detects a vibration of a predetermined magnitude or more in a state in which the remote operation enabled mode is set (arrow C in the figure). Note that the remote operation prohibited mode cannot be set arbitrarily by the user, and is set based on the detection result of the vibration detection means 50.

[0035] Next, the operation of the main body 1 when the vibration detection means 50 detects vibration will be described. When the main body 1 is subjected to vibrations of a predetermined level or more, the vibration detection means 50 detects the occurrence. In this embodiment, a seismometer is provided as the vibration detection means 50. When the vibration detection means 50 detects vibrations of a predetermined level or more, it is possible that an earthquake has occurred, and that flammable materials (e.g., laundry, etc.) have fallen around the main body 1. When vibration is detected during operation of the main body 1, there is a risk that the flammable materials will ignite and cause a fire if the operation is continued. Therefore, the control unit 60 determines that there is an abnormality in the main body 1, stops operation of the main body 1, and further sets the remote operation prohibition mode if the remote operation enable mode is set (arrow C in the figure). At this time, the liquid crystal display unit 201 displays the fact that operation has been stopped due to the detection of vibration.

[0036] In addition, when it is determined that there is an abnormality as described above and the operation is stopped, the operation may be restricted so that the operation start instruction from the remote control means is not executed as an abnormal stop state. In this case, the abnormal stop state corresponds to a remote control prohibited mode. Here, an abnormality in the main body 1 is not limited to a case where the main body 1 is subjected to vibration, and for example, a means for detecting the internal temperature of the main body 1 may be provided as a detection means, and it may be determined that there is an abnormality in the main body 1 when the internal temperature becomes high.

[0037] On the other hand, if the vibration detection means 50 detects vibrations of a predetermined magnitude or greater when the main body 1 is stopped, and the remote control enabled mode is set, the control unit 60 sets the remote control prohibited mode (arrow C in the figure).

[0038] The user of the remote control means is likely not near the main body 1, and cannot confirm that there are no flammable objects around the main body 1. Therefore, if an operation start instruction from the remote control means is executed, the operation of the main body 1 may be started without the user noticing that there are flammable objects around the main body 1, which may compromise the safety of the main body 1. Therefore, when the vibration detection means 50 detects vibration, the control unit 60 sets a remote operation prohibition mode that does not allow the operation start instruction from the remote control means to be executed. As a result, if vibration is detected not only during operation but also when the main body 1 is stopped, the operation of the main body 1 cannot be started from the remote control means thereafter, thereby improving the safety of the main body 1.

[0039] When the remote operation prohibition mode is set, the control unit 60 displays on the display unit 200 that the remote operation prohibition mode is set. In this embodiment, the remote operation setting lamp 203 is blinked to indicate that the remote operation prohibition mode is set. This allows a person near the main body 1 to be informed that the remote operation prohibition mode is set when an earthquake occurs or when a person near the main body 1 accidentally vibrates the main body 1, and to urge the person near the main body 1 to cancel the remote operation prohibition mode. The display method on the display unit 200 is not limited to this embodiment, and the remote operation invalid mode, remote operation valid mode, or remote operation prohibition mode may be indicated by turning off, turning on, or blinking the character "remote" on the liquid crystal display unit 201, for example. In addition, when vibration is detected during operation of the main body 1 and the remote operation prohibition mode is set, the liquid crystal display unit 201 displays a message indicating that operation has been stopped due to the detection of vibration, and this display may indicate that the remote operation prohibition mode is set.

[0040] Furthermore, when the vibration detection means 50 detects vibration, the control unit 60 may transmit, from the transmission unit 30 to the remote control means, status information including the fact that the vibration detection means 50 has detected vibration or the fact that an operation start instruction from the remote control means has not been executed. In a state in which the remote operation prohibition mode is set, even if the user issues an instruction to start operation of the main body 1 from the remote control means, operation will not be started. However, in a situation in which the user is not near the main body 1, it is not possible to determine whether or not an operation start instruction has been executed, for example, by checking whether the operation lamp 202 is lit. Therefore, a mismatch occurs between the operation state of the main body 1 recognized by the user (the state in which an operation start instruction has been executed) and the actual operation state of the main body 1. Therefore, by transmitting status information when the condition for setting the remote operation prohibition mode is satisfied, it is possible to inform the user operating the remote control means that operation of the main body 1 cannot be started from the remote control means. Note that the fact that an operation start instruction from the remote control means has not been executed means that the remote operation prohibition mode has been set, so that the fact that the remote operation prohibition mode has been set may be transmitted as status information.

[0041] In another embodiment, the condition for transmitting the above-mentioned status information from the transmitting unit 30 to the remote control means can be a case where the receiving unit 20 receives a signal from the remote control means in the remote control prohibited mode. By transmitting the status information when the user attempts to perform remote control, it is possible to inform the user operating the remote control means that operation of the main body 1 cannot be started from the remote control means.

[0042] The status information may include not only the status information described above but also other information. The other information may include the operating state of the main body 1 and the room temperature detected by the room temperature detection means 40, and may be transmitted to the remote control means in the remote control enabled mode.

[0043] Next, the release of the remote operation prohibition mode will be described (arrow D in FIG. 6). The remote operation prohibition mode is a mode for preventing the operation of the main body 1 from being started in a situation where the situation around the main body 1 cannot be confirmed after the occurrence of an earthquake, and if the situation around the main body 1 can be considered to have been confirmed, it is not convenient if the remote operation prohibition mode cannot be released by a person near the main body 1. Therefore, in the remote operation prohibition mode, when an operation start instruction is executed from the operation unit 100, the control unit 60 releases the remote operation prohibition mode when operation starts or after a predetermined time has elapsed since operation started.

[0044] Input of an operation start instruction from the operation unit 100 means that there is a person near the main body 1, and therefore, if there is a flammable object around the main body 1, the person is in a situation where they can notice it. When an operation start instruction is given in such a situation, it is assumed that there is no flammable object around the main body 1, and the operation start instruction is executed, and the remote operation prohibition mode is released at the same time or after a predetermined time has passed. This improves convenience because the remote operation prohibition mode is automatically released in response to the operation start instruction.

[0045] As another embodiment of the release of the remote operation prohibition mode, the remote operation setting switch 103 used for switching between the remote operation invalid mode and the remote operation valid mode may be used as a switch for instructing the release of the remote operation prohibition mode. Since the remote operation setting switch 103 is provided on the main body 1, the person who operates the remote operation setting switch 103 can release the remote operation prohibition mode after confirming that there is no flammable material around the main body 1. This allows the remote operation prohibition mode to be released without providing a separate means for releasing the remote operation prohibition mode, achieving both safety and convenience.
