By the way, in the control method of the conventional fragrance means, since the fragrance means is always operated, the life of the fragrance is shortened, for example, the fragrance is rapidly reduced, or excessive fragrance is caused by the constant fragrance. In some cases, the scent of the air freshener in the toilet becomes too strong. In addition, when the fragrance amount is reduced in consideration of the life of the fragrance, there is a problem that the user feels uncomfortable feeling that the user feels odor during the stool. In addition, when linked with a cooling device or a blower such as a heating device, if the cooling or heating device is not operating, it will not be scented, resulting in uneven scenting operation, and the odor generation timing and scent of the user. There is a problem that when the user's timing or the next user enters the toilet room, the user feels uncomfortable.
This invention is made | formed in view of such a situation, and it aims at providing the control method of the fragrance apparatus which controls the timing of an aroma means and maintains an economical and comfortable atmosphere.

  The control method of the sanitary washing apparatus according to claim 1 is the sanitary washing apparatus provided with the local cleaning means or the warm air drying means and the fragrance means, wherein the operation time of the local cleaning means or the hot air drying means is a predetermined time. When exceeding, it is controlled to increase the amount of fragrance of the fragrance means.

  This makes it possible to easily match the timing of odor generation when using a sanitary cleaning device such as local cleaning means or hot air drying means with the timing of changing the amount of fragrance of the fragrance means. When a person enters the toilet, there is no discomfort due to odor, and the fragrance concentration is not too high or too light for the user or another user, and a comfortable fragrance without unevenness can be achieved. Further, if a method of changing the amount of fragrance of the fragrance means according to the usage time or the number of times of use of the local cleaning means or the hot air drying means, the fragrance can be performed more efficiently. In addition, the control which changes a fragrance amount of an aroma means by combining a local washing | cleaning means and a warm air drying means may be sufficient. Moreover, use of useless fragrance | flavor by excessive fragrance etc. can be suppressed.

  The sanitary washing apparatus control method according to claim 2 is a sanitary washing apparatus in which a deodorizing means for deodorizing the odor around the toilet bowl and an aroma means are provided in the toilet bowl, and the operation time of the deodorizing means exceeds a predetermined time. Further, the fragrance means is controlled to increase the amount of fragrance.

  This makes it possible to easily match the timing of odor removal by deodorization with the timing of changing the amount of fragrance in the fragrance means, efficiently performing fragrance, and the user or the next user enters the toilet. Occasionally, no discomfort due to odor is given. For a user or another user, the fragrance concentration is not too high, not too thin, and a comfortable fragrance without unevenness can be achieved. Further, if a method of changing the amount of fragrance of the fragrance means is used according to the use time or operation setting of deodorization, the fragrance can be more efficiently performed. Further, since the odor is reduced by the deodorizing operation, the amount of the fragrance used can be reduced and the use of the useless fragrance can be suppressed.

  In the fragrance control method of the sanitary washing device of the present invention, it becomes possible to perform the fragrance amount of the fragrance means in accordance with the timing of use of the sanitary washing toilet seat or toilet, The timing of changing the amount of fragrance of the fragrance means can be easily matched, and when the user or another user enters the toilet, there is no discomfort due to odor. In addition, the fragrance concentration is not too high and too thin for another user, and a comfortable and efficient fragrance without unevenness can be achieved. Further, since the fragrance amount of the fragrance means is changed according to the length of the detection time, an effective fragrance suitable for actual use can be achieved.

  Moreover, use of useless fragrance | flavor by excessive fragrance etc. can be suppressed. In addition, since men do not use toilet seats, they can carry out fragrance even when standing in front of a toilet.

In addition, the fragrance selection switch 34 for selecting whether the fragrance amount of the fragrance means 11 is changed manually or automatically, the fragrance amount switch 39 for manually changing the fragrance amount, and the operation time for operating the fragrance. For example, an operation time selection switch 35 selected from four types such as a short time (60 seconds), a medium time (90 seconds), a long time (120 seconds), and an automatic setting time for automatically setting the time according to the use situation. And off-delay operation time after the use of the toilet such as the non-detection state of the seating sensor is used, for example, no off-delay operation, short time (60 seconds), medium time (90 seconds), long time (120 seconds) An off-delay time selection switch 40 for selecting from five types such as an automatic setting time for automatically setting the time according to the situation is provided. These switches may be provided not in the operation unit main body 28 but in a remote control device (not shown) that can transmit a drive signal by, for example, infrared rays.

  Further, the operation unit 28 controls the operation of the blower 20 according to the operation of the seating sensor 29, a timer (not shown), the fragrance selection switch 34, the fragrance amount switch 34, the operation time selection switch 35, and the off-delay time selection switch 40. The control apparatus 12 provided with the microcomputer which performs is accommodated.

  Here, regarding the control method of the sanitary washing device 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the output of the seating sensor 29 of the sanitary washing device 10 shown in the flowchart shown in FIG. This will be described with reference to the explanatory diagram of the relationship.

(1) The seating sensor 29 detects that the user is seated on the toilet seat 22 (step S1) and counts the time from when the seating sensor 29 detects (step S2).

(2) Based on the output signal of the seating sensor 29, the control device 12 operates the air flow rate of the blower 20 with, for example, a small aromatic air amount (for example, 0.05 m ³ / min) and supplies air containing odor to the aroma means 11 ( Step S3).

(3) A predetermined waiting time is counted from the seating by a timer (not shown) and, for example, when 30 seconds have elapsed (step S4), the control device 12 increases the rotational speed of the blower 20 to be larger than the small aromatic air volume, for example, medium aroma The air volume is switched to an air volume (for example, 0.09 m ³ / min), and an aroma operation is performed (step S5).

(4) When the output signal from the seating sensor is not recognized, the off-delay operation time of the fragrance means is changed according to the detection time of the timer (1) (step 7). For example, if the detection time of the detection signal of the seating sensor 29 is within a certain time (for example, within 30 seconds), the off-delay operation time is, for example, a short time (for example, 60 seconds: step S8), and after a certain time has elapsed (for example, 30 seconds or more). ), The off-delay operation time is, for example, a long time (for example, 120 seconds: step S11).
Similarly, if the detection time of the detection signal of the seating sensor is within a certain time, the amount of fragrance during the off-delay time is, for example, as it is with the amount of medium fragrance. The amount becomes, for example, a large fragrance air volume (for example, 0.18 m ³ / min: step 12) larger than the medium fragrance air volume.

(5) The off-delay time is counted (steps S9 and S13), and when a predetermined operation time has elapsed, for example, the blower 20 is stopped by the control device 12, and the aroma operation is stopped (steps S10 and S14).

In this case, the scent switch 34 operates automatically. If the fragrance selection switch 34 is manually operated, the fragrance amount switch 39 allows the user to arbitrarily change the fragrance from no fragrance operation to a medium fragrance air amount (for example, 0.09 m ³ / min). The amount can be varied.
The operation time of the operation of the fragrance means 11 is arbitrarily set by the user using the operation time selection switch 35, for example, for a short time (60 seconds), a medium time (90 seconds), a long time (120 seconds), or a time according to the use situation. Select and decide from 4 types, such as automatic setting time. If an automatic setting time for automatically setting the time according to the use situation is set, for example, if the detection time of the output signal of the seating sensor 29 is within a certain time (for example, within 30 seconds), the operation time is, for example, If it is a short time (for example, 60 seconds) and a fixed time has elapsed (for example, 30 seconds or more), the operation time is, for example, a long time (for example, 120 seconds). If the detection output of the seating sensor 29 continues even after the set fragrance operation time has ended, the fragrance operation may be continued as it is until no detection output is recognized. Further, the amount of fragrance may be changed according to the length of the detection output time of the timer.

  When the off-delay time of the fragrance means 11 is automatically operated, the off-delay time selection switch 40 is set to other than no off-delay. As a result, the off-delay operation time after the use of the toilet such as the non-detection state of the seating sensor is selected, for example, short time (60 seconds), middle time (90 seconds), long time (120 seconds), usage status Any off-delay time of automatic setting time, which automatically sets the time according to, is automatically operated. If an automatic setting time is set to automatically set the time according to the use situation, for example, if the detection time of the detection signal of the seating sensor 29 is within a certain time (for example, within 30 seconds), the off delay time is For example, when a short time (for example, 60 seconds) and after a lapse of a certain time (for example, within 30 seconds), the off-delay time is, for example, a long time (for example, 120 seconds). Further, the amount of fragrance may be changed according to the length of the detection output time of the timer.

A sanitary washing device according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In addition to the seating sensor 29 provided in the sanitary washing device 10 according to the first embodiment, the fragrance device detects a user standing on the front side of the toilet bowl 13 and adds a human body sensor 37 shown in FIG. Provided.
In addition, about the same component as 1st Embodiment, the same name the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted. The same applies to the embodiments described below.
As a result, even when a man stands in front of the toilet 13 to use the toilet seat 22 without using the toilet seat 22, the user is detected by the human body sensor 37, and the control device 12 causes the blower 20 to output the output signal from the human body sensor 37. And the same operations as (3), (4), (5) described in the control method of the sanitary washing device 10 according to the first embodiment are performed in a short time in the toilet room. Aroma. Moreover, use of useless fragrance | flavor by excessive fragrance etc. can be suppressed.

  As a modification, instead of providing both the seating sensor 29 and the human body sensor 37, a user sensor that can detect both the state of using the toilet seat 22 and the user standing in front of the toilet 13 (illustrated) No), that is, a sensor capable of detecting entry into and exit from the toilet may be provided, and the control device 12 may operate the fragrance means 11 by the output thereof.

A control method of the sanitary washing device 10 according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the control method of the sanitary washing device 10 according to the first embodiment, the third embodiment is a timing for performing the fragrance amount by, for example, the amount of medium fragrance, after a predetermined waiting time has elapsed from the seating by the timer. For example, instead of starting the medium aromatic air amount operation, for example, the start of the medium aromatic air amount operation is determined according to the usage time or the number of times of use of the local cleaning means 26 or the hot air drying means 27 of the user.
In this case, the fragrance apparatus 10 includes a timer (not shown) that measures the time from when the local cleaning means 26 is used.

The control method is as shown in FIG.
(1) The operation is detected when the user uses the local cleaning means 26 (step S1), and the time from when the local cleaning means 26 detects is counted (step S2).
(2) By detecting the operation of the local cleaning means 26, the control device 12 operates the air flow rate of the blower 20 with, for example, a small aromatic air volume (for example, 0.05 m ³ / min) and supplies odor-containing air to the aroma means 11. (Step S3).
(3) When a predetermined cleaning time (for example, 1 to 5 seconds or more) is detected after the cleaning switch 31 is turned on (step S4), for example, the amount of medium aromatic air larger than the amount of small aromatic air by increasing the rotational speed of the blower 20 (For example, 0.09 m < ³ > / min), and a fragrance operation is performed (step S5).
(4) When the motion detection from the local cleaning means 26 is not recognized, the fragrance off-delay operation time is changed according to the detection time of the timer (step 7). For example, if the detection time of the operation detection of the local cleaning means 26 is within a certain time (for example, within 10 seconds), the off-delay operation time is, for example, a short time (for example, 60 seconds: step S8), and after a certain time has elapsed (for example, 10 seconds). If it is above, the off-delay operation time is, for example, a long time (for example, 120 seconds: step S11). Similarly, if the detection time of the operation detection of the local cleaning means 26 is within a predetermined time, the fragrance amount during the off-delay operation time is, for example, the medium fragrance amount as it is, and if the fixed time has elapsed, the off-delay operation is performed. The amount of fragrance during the time becomes, for example, a large amount of fragrance larger than the amount of medium fragrance (for example, 0.18 m ³ / min: step 12).
(5) The off-delay time is counted (steps S9 and S13), and when a predetermined operation time has elapsed, for example, the blower 20 is stopped by the control device 12, and the aroma operation is stopped (steps S10 and S14).

Thereby, before the user leaves the toilet seat 22, the use of the local cleaning means 26 enables the fragrance to be made, so that the timing of odor generation and power deodorization can be easily matched.
Further, instead of a timer (not shown) for measuring the usage time of the local cleaning means 26, a counter (not shown) for measuring the number of times the local cleaning means 26 has been used is provided so that a predetermined usage count (for example, once or more) is provided. When it reaches, for example, it may be switched from a small amount of aromatic air to a larger amount of aromatic air.
Moreover, you may use the function in which use of toilet bowl becomes clear, such as the warm air drying means 27 or the stop switch 33, besides a local washing | cleaning means.

A control method for a sanitary washing device according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the control method of the sanitary washing device 10 according to the first embodiment, the fourth embodiment is a timing at which the amount of fragrance is determined by the amount of medium fragrance, etc., and a predetermined waiting time has elapsed from the seating by a timer (not shown). For example, instead of starting the operation of the middle aromatic air amount, for example, the start of the operation of the middle aromatic air amount or the like is determined in response to the detection of the opening / closing of the toilet seat 22 or the toilet lid 23.
In this case, the sanitary washing device 10 includes a timer (not shown) that measures the time from when the toilet seat 22 or the toilet lid 23 is detected to when it is closed. The opening / closing detection means of the toilet seat 22 and the toilet lid 23 has a magnet or the like built in either the sanitary washing device 16 side or the toilet seat 22 or the toilet lid 23, and an element that can detect the magnet or the like is provided on the other side. And a detection signal from a means for automatically opening and closing the toilet seat 22 or the toilet lid 23 using a motor (not shown) or the like for the toilet seat 22 or the toilet lid 23 to the hinge structure 24. Shall be (not shown)

The control method is as shown in FIG.
(1) The user detects opening of the toilet lid 23 (step S1) and counts the time from the detection (step S2).
(2) When the opening of the toilet lid 23 is detected, the control device 12 operates the air flow rate of the blower 20 with, for example, a small aromatic air amount (for example, 0.05 m ³ / min) and supplies air containing odor to the aroma means 11 ( Step S3).
(3) When a predetermined opening detection time (for example, 30 seconds or more) is detected after the toilet lid 23 is opened (step S4), the rotational speed of the blower 20 is increased to increase the amount of small aromatic air, for example, the amount of medium aromatic air ( For example, the fragrance operation is performed by switching to 0.09 m ³ / min) (step S5).
(4) When the detection of opening of the toilet lid 23 is not recognized, that is, when the detection of closing is made, the aroma off-delay time is changed by the detection time of the timer (step 7). For example, if the detection time for detecting the opening of the toilet lid 23 is within a certain time (for example, within 30 seconds), the off-delay time is, for example, a short time (for example, 60 seconds: step S8), and after a certain time has elapsed (for example, 30 seconds or more). Then, the off-delay time is, for example, a long time (for example, 120 seconds: step S11).
Similarly, if the detection time of the detection of the opening of the toilet lid 23 is within a certain time, the amount of fragrance during the off-delay time is, for example, as it is with the amount of medium fragrance, and after a certain time has passed, For example, the amount of fragrance is larger than the amount of medium fragrance, for example, a large amount of fragrance (for example, 0.18 m ³ / min: step 12).
(5) The off-delay operation time is counted (steps S9 and S13). When the predetermined operation time has elapsed, for example, the blower 20 is stopped by the control device 12, and the aroma operation is stopped (steps S10 and S14).

  Thereby, when the toilet lid is opened, the fragrance can be increased by increasing the amount of fragrance, so that the timing of generation of odor and the timing of fragrance can be easily matched. In addition to the toilet lid 23, by using the toilet seat 22, even when standing in front of the toilet bowl and making a small use, the fragrance can be performed by the fragrance means. Moreover, use of useless fragrance | flavor by excessive fragrance etc. can be suppressed.

  In the control method of the sanitary washing device 10 according to the first embodiment, the fifth embodiment is a control method of the fragrance device according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. The odor sensor 43 is provided in the vicinity of the toilet 11 instead of switching to, for example, the middle aromatic air volume operation after a predetermined waiting time has elapsed from the seating by a timer.

The operation of the fifth embodiment is as shown in FIG.
(1) When the odor sensor 43 is activated and detects a predetermined concentration, for example, an odor concentration (aroma start concentration) to the extent that a person is uncomfortable (step S1), the control device 12 causes the blower 20 to operate. Aroma is started with a small amount of aromatic air (step S2).
(2) When the detected concentration of the odor sensor 43 is reduced to a predetermined aroma stop concentration (for example, 10% or less at the start of the aroma operation) by the aroma operation (step S3), the off delay time is counted from the detection of the aroma stop concentration. (Step S4), it is confirmed that a predetermined off-delay time (for example, 30 seconds) has passed (Step S5), and then the blower 20 is stopped by the control device 12 to stop the aroma operation (Step S6).

As a result, when the odor concentration detected by the odor sensor 43 becomes uncomfortable for the user, the fragrance operation can be started to operate the fragrance in a timely manner. The odor sensor is composed of an ion sensitive field effect transistor using, for example, an ionic polymer film or cyclodextrin whose potential changes by adsorbing an odor substance, and measures a voltage proportional to the odor concentration. I am doing so.
For the duration of the fragrance operation, the controller 12 automatically selects, for example, a short time (60 seconds), a medium time (90 seconds), or a long time (120 seconds) according to the detected odor concentration. Then, the blower 30 may be controlled. This stabilizes the aroma operation.
Further, according to the odor concentration, the air volume may be changed stepwise, for example, from a large aromatic air volume to a medium aromatic air volume.

  For example, as long as the installation location of the odor sensor 43 is in the vicinity of the toilet 13, it may be any of an air flow path in the deodorizing device, the inside or outside of the toilet, a wall surface in the toilet, and the like. Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated the case of the western style toilet bowl which sits on a toilet seat at the time of use, in the case of the Japanese style toilet bowl which crouches above the toilet bowl 13 and adds use, the toilet bowl 13 is provided with the human body sensor provided in the toilet room. By detecting the user above the deodorizing device, the deodorizing device can be controlled.

A control method for a sanitary washing device according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the control method of the sanitary washing device 10 according to the first embodiment, the sixth embodiment is a timing for performing the fragrance amount by, for example, the amount of medium fragrance, etc. after a predetermined waiting time has elapsed from sitting by the timer. For example, instead of starting the middle fragrance air amount operation, the start of the operation such as the middle fragrance air amount is determined according to the operation or operation of the deodorizing means 41.

The control method is as shown in FIG.
(1) The operation of the deodorizing device is detected (step S1), and the time from the detection is counted (step S2).
(2) By detecting the deodorizing operation, the control device 12 operates the air flow rate of the blower 20 with, for example, a small aromatic air amount (for example, 0.05 m ³ / min) and supplies air containing odor to the aroma means 11 (step S3). ).
(3) When the detection time from the detection of the deodorizing operation detects a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds or more) (step S4), the rotational speed of the blower 20 is increased to increase the amount of small aromatic air, for example, the amount of medium aromatic air ( For example, the fragrance operation is performed by switching to 0.09 m ³ / min) (step S5).
(4) When the detection of the deodorizing operation is not recognized (step 6), or when the off-delay operation is performed, the scent off-delay operation time is changed according to the detection time of the timer (step 7). For example, if the detection time of deodorizing operation detection is within a certain time (for example, within 30 seconds), the off-delay operation time should be, for example, a short time (for example, 60 seconds: step S8), and after a certain time has elapsed (for example, 30 seconds or more). For example, the off-delay operation time is, for example, a long time (for example, 120 seconds: step S11). Further, the off-delay operation time of the fragrance may be combined with the off-delay operation time of the deodorizing means.
Similarly, if the detection time of deodorizing operation detection is within a certain time (for example, within 30 seconds), the amount of fragrance during the off-delay time is, for example, as it is with the amount of medium fragrance, and after a certain time has elapsed (for example, over 30 seconds). Then, the amount of fragrance during the off-delay time is, for example, a large amount of fragrance larger than the amount of medium fragrance (for example, 0.18 m ³ / min: step 12).
(5) The off-delay time is counted (steps S9 and S13), and when a predetermined operation time has elapsed, for example, the blower 20 is stopped by the control device 12, and the aroma operation is stopped (steps S10 and S14).

Thereby, since a fragrance can be performed if a user uses a deodorizing means, generation | occurrence | production of an odor and the timing of power deodorization can be made to correspond easily. Moreover, since the odor is reduced by the deodorizing operation, the amount of the fragrance used can be reduced, and use of the fragrance can be suppressed and the fragrance can be efficiently scented.
Moreover, the fragrance means 11 can perform the effective fragrance combined with deodorization by using the same air blower as the deodorization means.

  A control method of the sanitary washing device according to the seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the control method of the deodorizing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment, the seventh embodiment is configured such that, for example, after a predetermined waiting time has elapsed from sitting by a timer, the timing of performing the fragrance amount by, for example, the amount of medium fragrance Instead of starting the middle fragrance air volume operation, the start of the operation such as the middle fragrance air volume is determined according to the operation of the toilet cleaning means (not shown).

The control method is as shown in FIG.
(1) The operation of the toilet cleaning means (not shown) is detected (step S1) and the off-delay operation time is counted (step S2).
(2) Upon detecting the operation of the toilet bowl cleaning means, the control device 12 operates the air flow rate of the blower 20 with, for example, a small aromatic air volume (for example, 0.05 m ³ / min) and supplies air containing odor to the aroma means 11 ( Step S3).
(3) When the off-delay operation time has passed the predetermined operation time (step S4), the control device 12 stops the blower 20, for example, and stops the aroma operation (step S5).

  Thereby, since a fragrance can be performed if it is used if the toilet bowl is washed, the timing of odor generation and power deodorization can be easily matched.

A control method of the sanitary washing device 10 according to the eighth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the control method of the deodorizing apparatus 10 according to the seventh embodiment, the eighth embodiment is the timing for changing the fragrance amount, instead of changing the fragrance according to the operation of the toilet flushing means (not shown), The fragrance amount is changed according to the operation of the fragrance amount switch 39.

The control method is as shown in FIG.
(1) The operation of the fragrance amount switch 39 is detected (step S1) and the off-delay time is counted (step S2).
(2) By detecting the operation of the fragrance amount switch 39, the control device 12 operates the blast amount of the blower 20 with, for example, a small fragrance air amount (for example, 0.05 m ³ / min) to supply odor-containing air to the fragrance means 11. (Step S3).
(3) When the off-delay operation time has passed the predetermined operation time (step S4), the control device 12 stops the blower 20, for example, and stops the aroma operation (step S5).

Thereby, since a user can perform a fragrance arbitrarily, a fragrance can be performed at a timing effective for a user.
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the configurations described in the above embodiments, and can be considered within the scope of the matters described in the claims. Other embodiments and modifications are also included.
