It is installed in the bathroom and kitchen next to the bathroom. In addition, the first remote controller 13 and the second remote controller 12 are installed in, for example, a bathroom or a washroom adjacent to the bathroom.

Since the bathroom heating system 1 according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, this bathroom heating system 1
When the bathroom is heated using the heat source unit 2
Is turned on and the main remote controller 11 is operated to input the set temperature of the bath. In response to this, the main controller 10 operates as shown in FIG.
The bath operation of the heat source unit 2 and the heating operation of the bathroom heater / dryer 6 and the bathroom floor heater 8 are performed based on the control flow chart of FIG.

FIG. 2 shows the operation when the heating operation of the bathroom floor heater 8 is linked to the bath operation of the heat source unit 2,
In step S1, check whether the bathtub water level is below the set value,
If the value is equal to or less than the set value, the heat source unit 2 starts filling the bathtub 7 with water (step S2). If the bathtub water level is not below the set value in step S1, or if filling is started, it is checked whether the bathtub water level has become above the set value (step S1).
3) If it has not reached the set value, the process returns to step S1.

Here, when the bathtub water level is higher than the set value, the filling is terminated (step S4), and it is confirmed whether the bathtub temperature is lower than the set value (step S5). If the bathtub temperature has reached the set value, the process proceeds to step S7, and if the bathtub temperature is equal to or lower than the set value, reheating is started (step S7).
6).

In step S7, if the bath tub temperature is equal to or higher than the set value, reheating is terminated (step S8), and if the bath tub temperature has not reached the set value, the process proceeds to step S10.

Next, it is confirmed whether the bath water in the bathtub 7 is being kept warm (step S9). If it is during the keeping time, the process proceeds to step S10, and if not, the process is terminated.
In step S10, it is checked whether or not the bathroom floor heater 8 is installed, and if the bathroom floor heater 8 is installed, the heating operation is started (step S11).

In step S10, if the bathroom floor heater 8 is not installed, or if the heating operation of the bathroom floor heater 8 is started, the process returns to step S5, and the processing in steps S5 to S8 is repeated to repeat the processing in steps S5 to S8. The heating operation in is ended.

FIG. 3 shows the operation when the heating operation of the bathroom floor heater 8 and the bathroom heating / drying device 6 is linked to the bath operation of the heat source unit 2, and the bathtub water level is equal to or lower than the set value in step S12. Check if it is less than the set value,
Starts filling the bathtub 7 (step S13). If the bathtub water level is not lower than the set value in step S12, or if filling is started, it is checked whether the bathtub water level is higher than the set value (step S14).

If the bath tub water level has not reached the set value, it is checked in step S23 whether or not the bathroom heating / drying machine 6 is installed. If the bathroom heating / drying machine 6 is installed, the drying operation (temperature) is performed. Wind + ventilation heating operation) and start step S
Returning to step 12, after repeating the processing of steps S12 to S15, the drying operation (heating operation with warm air and ventilation) is terminated.
On the other hand, if the bathroom heating / drying machine 6 is not installed in step S23, the process returns to step S12.

If the bathtub water level is equal to or higher than the set value in step S14, the filling is terminated (step S15), and it is checked whether the bathtub temperature is equal to or lower than the set value (step S1).
6). If the bathtub temperature has reached the set value, step S18
Then, if the bathtub temperature is equal to or lower than the set value, reheating is started (step S17).

In step S18, if the bath tub temperature is equal to or higher than the set value, the reheating is completed (step S1).
9), if the bath temperature has not reached the set value, step S
Move to 21.

Next, it is checked whether the bath water in the bathtub 7 is being kept warm (step S20). If it is during the keeping time, the process proceeds to step S21. If not, the process is terminated. In step S21, it is checked whether or not the bathroom floor heater 8 is installed, and if the bathroom floor heater 8 is installed, the heating operation is started (step S22).

On the other hand, in step S21, the bathroom floor heater 8
Is not installed, and when the heating operation of the bathroom floor heater 8 is started, the process returns to step S16, and step S16 is performed.
Steps S19 to S19 are repeated to end the heating operation of the bathroom floor heater 8.

As described above, the interlocking on / off switch (not shown) provided in the main remote controller 11 is turned on in advance as an initial setting at the beginning of the season required for heating.
The bathroom can be heated with one touch only by turning on a bath operation switch (not shown) of the main remote controller 11, and at the same time, a bath operation such as supplying hot water to the bathtub or reheating the bath water can be performed. it can.

That is, in the heating required season such as winter, the heating operation is not performed due to forgetting or erroneous operation of the heating operation, and the main remote controller 1 is used in the heating operation.
If the interlocking on / off switch (not shown) provided in 1 is turned on in advance, bath operation and heating can be performed only by turning on a bath operation switch (not shown) provided in main remote controller 11. Driving can be performed simultaneously, operability is improved, and usability can be improved.

Although the present invention has been described based on the above-described embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this.
