Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the safety of a bathing person. SOLUTION: This device comprises a radio transmitter 1 mounted on the bathing person and a remote controller 2 for receiving radio waves therefrom. When the remote controller 2 is laid in a state where the receipt of radio waves from the transmitter 1 is impossible or feeble, an alarm (sound, display, etc.), signal is given to another remote controller 4. Accordingly, since the alarm signal (sound, display) is given to another remote controller 4 when the signal from the transmitter 1 mounted on the bathing person is interrupted or weakened, it can be reported that the bathing person falls into a dangerous state, and an accident can be prevented.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bath water heater that is remotely controlled by a remote controller.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of bath water heater does not have a warning / display function related to safety against a submersion accident during bathing for a bather and a sudden change in heartbeat.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the bather himself falls asleep while taking a bath, and as a result, he / she is submerged in the bath and drowns. There are now many cases in which it is impossible to prevent accidents in the bathroom (tub) of children and the elderly by not knowing what kind of situation they are in. That is, the conventional bath water heater has a problem that a device for preventing an accident in the bathroom (tub) is not added.

[0004]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a radio wave transmitter attached to a bather, a remote controller for receiving the radio wave of the radio wave transmitter, and a radio wave from the radio wave transmitter. The bath hot water supply device has a function of issuing a warning signal to another remote controller when it becomes unreceivable or weak.

According to the above invention, when a radio wave transmitter (for example, an earplug type) attached to a bather is submerged in water due to an accident or the like of the bather, the transmitted radio wave does not reach the remote controller, so that the bather is submerged. By detecting and alerting (sound / display) to a person other than the bather that the bather is submerged in water, an accident such as submersion in water can be prevented.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The invention according to claim 1 of the present invention comprises a radio wave transmitter attached to a bather, a wired remote controller capable of receiving radio waves from the radio wave transmitter, and a radio wave transmitter from the radio wave transmitter. A bath hot water supply remotely operated by the wired remote controller having the wired remote controller having a function of issuing a warning (sound / display, etc.) signal to another wired remote controller when radio waves become unreceivable or weak It is a device. According to the above invention, when a radio wave transmitter (for example, an earplug type) attached to a bather is submerged in the bather due to an accident or the like of the bather, the transmitted radio wave does not reach the remote control (weaker) and the bather is submerged. It is possible to prevent a bather's submersion accident (drowning) from occurring by detecting and detecting (sound / display) a person other than the bather's submersion in water by using the remote control.

In the invention according to claim 2 of the present invention, the radio wave transmitter has means for transmitting a signal according to the pulse of the attached bather, and the bath water heater according to claim 1 is there.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a radio wave transmitter attached to a bather, a radio remote controller capable of receiving radio waves from the radio wave transmitter, a communication signal from the radio remote controller, and the above It has a communication unit that relays communication signals to the wireless remote controller, and sends a warning (sound, display, etc.) signal to other wireless remote controllers when the radio wave from the radio transmitter becomes unreceivable or weak. A bath hot water supply apparatus that is remotely operated by the wireless remote controller having the wireless remote controller having a function of emitting the water.

In addition to the same as in the first aspect of the invention, since it is a wireless remote controller, the remote controller outside the bathroom is moved so that a person other than the bather can monitor the bathing time of the bather anywhere. It becomes possible to do.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the bath water heater according to the fourth aspect is characterized in that the radio wave transmitter has means for transmitting a signal according to a pulse. In addition to the same as in the second aspect of the invention, since it is a wireless remote controller, a remote controller outside the bathroom can be moved so that a person other than the bather can monitor the bathing time of the bather anywhere. It will be possible.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, when a signal corresponding to the pulse from the radio wave transmitter is received and the signal is above or below a certain threshold, another wired remote controller is warned (sound
6. The bath water heater according to claim 5, wherein the bath hot water supply device has a function of emitting a signal (such as display).

The same thing as the third invention can be said, and further, since it is a wireless remote controller, a remote controller outside the bathroom is moved so that a person other than the bather can monitor the bathing time of the bather anywhere. It becomes possible to do.
