Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a toilet seat device which can surely save electricity of a heating toilet seat, prevent the coldness of the toilet seat when sit down and economize the turning on of electricity to a warm water tank. SOLUTION: When a seat sensor 10 detects that someone sits down on the toilet seat, a target temperature of the toilet seat 2 is made high. When the seat sensor 10 does not find that anyone sits down on the toilet seat, a toilet seat lid 4 is in standing state and the toilet seat 2 is in a shutting state, and the target temperature of the toilet seat is made middle-high. When the toilet seat lid 4 and the toilet seat are both in the standing state, the target temperature of the toilet seat 2 is made low-middle. When the toilet seat lid 4 and the toilet seat 2 are both in the shutting state, the target temperature is made low. When the toilet seat lid 4 is in the standing state, the target temperature of warm water in the warm water tank 9 is made high. When the toilet seat lid 4 is in the shutting state, the target temperature the warm water is made low.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention
In the control method of No. 3863, when the toilet lid is upright and the toilet seat is lying down, the toilet seat is always heated to the heating temperature and the power is supplied so that the water temperature of the hot water tank becomes high. However, actually, even if the toilet lid is standing up and the toilet seat is lying down, the seat may not be actually seated, and in such a case, the heater is wastefully energized.

Since the heater of the toilet seat is provided along the upper surface of the toilet seat, even when the toilet seat is standing up, when the toilet seat is also standing up, the toilet seat overlaps the toilet seat, and the heat from the toilet seat is dissipated. Few. On the other hand, when the toilet lid is upright and the toilet seat is lying down, a large amount of heat is released from the upper surface of the toilet seat. Therefore, the power supply to the toilet seat heater should be controlled not only in response to the rising of the toilet lid but also in response to the rising and falling of the toilet seat.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A toilet apparatus according to the present invention includes a toilet lid, a toilet seat having a heater, seating detecting means for detecting seating on the toilet seat, and the standing and falling of the toilet lid and toilet seat. In a toilet apparatus having a tilt detection means for detecting, and a control means for controlling energization to the heater in accordance with a detection state of the seating detection means and the detection of the tilt detection means, the control means includes:
When the seat detecting means detects the seat, the target temperature of the toilet seat is set to a high temperature, and when the seat detecting means does not detect the seat, the toilet lid is in the upright state, and the toilet seat is in the lying state, the toilet seat The target temperature is set to a middle or high temperature, and when both the toilet lid and the toilet seat are in the upright state, the target temperature of the toilet seat is set to the intermediate low temperature, and when the toilet lid and the toilet seat are both in the lying state, the target temperature of the toilet seat is set to the low temperature, or It is characterized in that the power supply to the heater is stopped.

[0015] When both the toilet lid and the toilet seat are in the upright state, the toilet seat target temperature is set to the middle temperature. At this time, even if the temperature is medium to low, the toilet lid overlaps the toilet seat upper surface,
The upper surface of the toilet seat is quite warm. Generally, since the toilet seat heater is arranged along the upper surface of the toilet seat, when both the toilet lid and the toilet seat are upright, the toilet lid overlaps with the toilet seat, and there is little heat radiation from the upper surface of the toilet seat, and the upper surface of the toilet seat is considerably large. It will be warm. Therefore, even if the toilet seat is defeated and immediately seated, no cold sensation is felt. The amount of electricity to be supplied when the toilet lid and the toilet seat are standing up is small enough because the target temperature is medium to low.

In the present invention, there is provided a hot water tank with a heater for generating hot water for washing the buttocks of a human body. As a means for controlling the heater of the hot water tank, when the toilet lid is in the upright state, the hot water in the hot water tank is controlled. A control means may be provided for setting the target temperature to a high water temperature and setting the target temperature to a low water temperature when the toilet lid is in a lying state.
