Based on the operation method of the above-mentioned laser sitting and bathing machine with circulating-heating unit 1, as shown in Figure 8, comprise the steps:
(1) water level signal in the water butt 1-1 detecting is returned to computer controling box 4-1 by level sensor 4-4.In the time that water level does not arrive level sensor 4-4 height of living in, computer controling box 4-1 controls water intaking valve 1-5 and opens.In the time that water level reaches level sensor 4-4 height of living in, computer controling box 4-1 controls water intaking valve 1-5 and closes, and circulating valve 1-9 opens, and suction pump 1-6 starts working.
(2) effusion meter 4-3 detects suction pump 1-6 outlet to whether water flowing between circulating valve 1-9 and the water inlet of outlet valve 1-8, and the signal of the water flowing by whether returns to computer controling box 4-1.As not water flowing, show that waterway circulating is abnormal, computer controling box 4-1 sends warning.As water flowing, show that waterway circulating is normal, now computer controling box 4-1 controls water heater unlatching.
(3) water temperature signal in the water butt 1-1 detecting is reached computer controling box 4-1 by temperature sensor 4-5.In the time that water temperature does not reach the temperature of setting, computer controling box 4-1 controls water heater and continues heating.In the time that water temperature reaches the temperature of setting, enter temperature constant state.Detect that once temperature sensor 4-5 water temperature in water butt 1-1 exceedes warning water temperature, computer controling box 4-1 sends signal and stops heating and reporting to the police by water heater.
(4) program detects when water heater enters temperature constant state, and computer controling box 4-1 controlled circulation valve 1-9 closes, and outlet valve 1-8 opens.Water in water butt 1-1 enters bidet by effusion meter 4-3 and outlet valve 1-8.In this process, effusion meter 4-3 returns to the suction pump 1-6 outlet detecting to computer controling box 4-1 to the flow between circulating valve 1-9 and the water inlet of outlet valve 1-8.In the time that flow does not reach the flow of setting, computer controling box 4-1 controlled circulation valve 1-9 continues to keep closing, and outlet valve 1-8 continues to open.In the time that flow reaches the flow of setting, computer controling box 4-1 control outlet valve 1-8 closes, now circulation waterway heating unit repeating step (1)-(3).
(5) computer controling box 4-1 is by laser control circuit control laser instrument 2-1 Output of laser, and computer controling box 4-1 controls foaming air pump 1-2 simultaneously and opens simultaneously, and user seat enters in bidet, to carry out demibain.Now circulating-heating unit 1 is always in circulating-heating state, i.e. water heater, circulating valve 1-9 and suction pump 1-6 continuous firing.
(6), in the time reaching default demibain time, computer controling box 4-1 controls drain valve 1-7 and opens, so that the water in bidet is discharged.In the time reaching predetermined water discharge time, computer controling box 4-1 controls drain valve 1-7 and closes, a now demibain end cycle.
(7) return to step (4), the next demibain cycle is carried out in repeating step (4)-(6).
(8) when reaching after the demibain cycle times of setting, whole demibain process completes, and computer controling box 4-1 closes foaming air pump 1-2 and laser instrument 2-1 by laser control circuit.In this utility model, the demibain cycle of setting is at least 2 times.Wherein, in the demibain cycle, artificially pass through medicine-pouring port 1-10 by infusion of medicine water butt 1-1.In last demibain cycle before whole demibain process completes, in the time that computer controling box 4-1 controls drain valve 1-7 unlatching, computer controling box 4-1 directly controls hot blast motor 3-1 and starts and open by hot blast panel control storage heater 3-2, until reach after the hot blast timing of setting just the step that hot blast motor 3-1 and storage heater 3-2 are closed.
Above are only this kind of preferred embodiment with the operation method of the laser sitting and bathing machine of circulating-heating unit.In this utility model, the unlatching of laser instrument 2-1 and foaming air pump 1-2 can be set as required.As can be at any one demibain cycle opening and closing laser instrument 2-1 and foaming air pump 1-2.If can open immediately laser instrument 2-1 in the time that laser sitting and bathing machine is opened, be to open foaming air pump 1-2 etc. and there is water in bidet.In addition, this utility model can also be according to user's request, and opening and closing are arranged on other various physical therapy parts such as uviol lamp, ozonator, infrared emittance, magnetic sheet and the therapeutic electrode in laser sitting and bathing machine.
