Description

本発明は便座装置に関するものであり、特に高速で着座面を加熱する便座装置の温度制御技術に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a toilet seat apparatus, and more particularly, to a temperature control technique for a toilet seat apparatus that heats a seating surface at a high speed.

従来より、便座に着座するときの快適感を向上させるために、便座にヒータを内蔵し加熱しておくことが行われている。そして、便座を加熱して待機するのでなく、非使用時にはヒータに通電せず、人が便座に近づいたことを検知すると、そこからヒータに通電して実際に着座するまでのわずかな時間の間に適温まで一気に加熱することで省エネ効果を高めたものがある。   Conventionally, in order to improve a comfortable feeling when sitting on a toilet seat, a heater is built in the toilet seat and heated. And instead of heating and waiting for the toilet seat, the heater is not energized when it is not in use. When it is detected that a person is approaching the toilet seat, the heater is energized for a short time from when it is actually seated. Some have improved the energy-saving effect by heating to a suitable temperature at once.

このように高速で加熱する便座においては、便座の温度を検出することが困難であるという課題ある。即ち、便座の温度は急激に変化することに対して温度検出が追従できず、温度検出の遅れが生じやすい。特に冬など周囲が低温の時には実際の温度と検出する温度の乖離が大きく、低い温度を検出してしまい、その検出した温度を基にヒータの通電を制御すると誤って便座を危険な高温にしてしまう可能性もある。   Thus, in the toilet seat heated at high speed, there exists a subject that it is difficult to detect the temperature of a toilet seat. That is, the temperature detection cannot follow the rapid change in the temperature of the toilet seat, and a delay in temperature detection is likely to occur. In particular, when the surroundings are cold, such as in winter, the difference between the actual temperature and the detected temperature is large, and a low temperature is detected.If the heater is energized based on the detected temperature, the toilet seat is mistakenly made dangerously hot. There is also a possibility of end.

その課題を解決するために、ヒータに直列に抵抗を接続し、ヒータへの通電開始初期の急激に温度変化するときにはこの抵抗を介してヒータに通電し、そして所定時間後にはこの抵抗を短絡してヒータに通電するよう切り替える方法が提案され、また温度検出器としては時定数が2秒以下のような応答の速いサーミスタを使うこととしている(例えば特許文献1)。
特開2005−110752号公報
In order to solve the problem, a resistor is connected in series with the heater, and when the temperature changes suddenly at the beginning of energization of the heater, the heater is energized, and after a predetermined time, the resistor is short-circuited. A method of switching the heater to be energized is proposed, and a thermistor having a fast response with a time constant of 2 seconds or less is used as the temperature detector (for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-110752

しかしながら、特許文献1に示されている方法は、温度検出器が追従できる程度までヒータのパワーを押さえることであり、高速で加熱できる特長を十分発揮できない。またサーミスタの素子そのものの時定数は2秒以下であっても、実際には電力消費の大きいヒータの近傍にサーミスタを設置しなければならないため、絶縁性などを含め安全性と信頼性を確保するためには、サーミスタを十分保護しなければならず、そのために応答が犠牲になってしまい、その結果、温度検出の時定数として2秒以下を確保することは非常に困難であるという課題を有していた。   However, the method disclosed in Patent Document 1 is to suppress the power of the heater to such an extent that the temperature detector can follow, and cannot fully exhibit the feature of being able to heat at high speed. Even if the time constant of the thermistor element itself is 2 seconds or less, the thermistor must actually be installed in the vicinity of a heater that consumes a large amount of power, thus ensuring safety and reliability including insulation. In order to achieve this, the thermistor must be sufficiently protected, and therefore the response is sacrificed. As a result, it is very difficult to secure a temperature detection time constant of 2 seconds or less. Was.

本発明は前記従来の課題を解決するもので、高速で着座面を加熱し、且つ正確に着座面の温度を検出し適温に制御する便座装置を提供することを目的とする。   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and to provide a toilet seat device that heats a seating surface at high speed, accurately detects the temperature of the seating surface, and controls the seating surface to an appropriate temperature.

この構成により、ヒータにより便座ケーシングの着座面を加熱し、非接触温度検出器により便座ケーシングの着座面温度を検出し、その検出した温度に基づき通電制御手段がヒ
ータの通電を制御するものであり、非接触温度検出器で温度検出しているので高速応答で温度検出できる。また、この非接触温度検出器は便座ケーシングの着座面よりも温度変動の少ないものに接触させて取り付けているので、非接触温度検出器自身の温度が安定して温度検出の精度が向上する。
With this configuration, the seating surface of the toilet seat casing is heated by the heater, the seating surface temperature of the toilet seat casing is detected by the non-contact temperature detector, and the energization control means controls the energization of the heater based on the detected temperature. Since temperature is detected by a non-contact temperature detector, temperature can be detected with high-speed response. In addition, since the non-contact temperature detector is attached in contact with an object with less temperature fluctuation than the seating surface of the toilet seat casing, the temperature of the non-contact temperature detector itself is stabilized and the temperature detection accuracy is improved.

本発明の便座装置は、高速応答でかつ高い精度で温度検出できるため、高速で着座面を加熱し、且つ正確に着座面の温度を検出し適温に制御する便座装置を提供することが可能となる。   Since the toilet seat device of the present invention can detect the temperature with high speed response and high accuracy, it is possible to provide a toilet seat device that heats the seating surface at high speed and accurately detects the temperature of the seating surface and controls it to an appropriate temperature. Become.

第1の発明は、ヒータと、前記ヒータを内蔵し着座面を形成する便座ケーシングと、前記便座ケーシングの内部に設け前記便座ケーシングの着座面温度を非接触で検出する非接触温度検出器と、前記非接触温度検出器が検出した温度に基づいて前記ヒータの通電を制御する通電制御手段を備え、前記非接触温度検出器は前記便座ケーシングの着座面よりも温度変動の少ない安定部材に接触して取り付けた構成としたものである。   The first invention includes a heater, a toilet seat casing that incorporates the heater and forms a seating surface, a non-contact temperature detector that is provided inside the toilet seat casing and detects the seating surface temperature of the toilet seat casing in a non-contact manner, Energization control means for controlling energization of the heater based on the temperature detected by the non-contact temperature detector is provided, and the non-contact temperature detector is in contact with a stable member having a temperature variation smaller than that of the seating surface of the toilet seat casing. It is set as the structure attached.

この構成により、ヒータにより便座ケーシングの着座面を加熱し、非接触温度検出器により便座ケーシングの着座面の温度を検出し、その検出した温度に基づき通電制御手段がヒータの通電を制御する。非接触温度検出器は高速応答で温度検出可能で、便座ケーシングの着座面よりも温度変動の少ない安定部材に接触させて取り付けているので、非接触温度検出器自身の温度が安定して温度検出の精度が向上する。従って、ヒータにより着座面を高速加熱してもそれに追従してより正確に着座面の温度を検出し適温に制御する便座装置を提供することが可能となる。   With this configuration, the seating surface of the toilet seat casing is heated by the heater, the temperature of the seating surface of the toilet seat casing is detected by the non-contact temperature detector, and the energization control means controls the energization of the heater based on the detected temperature. The non-contact temperature detector can detect the temperature with a high-speed response and is mounted in contact with a stable member with less temperature fluctuation than the seating surface of the toilet seat casing, so the temperature of the non-contact temperature detector itself can be detected stably. Improves accuracy. Therefore, it is possible to provide a toilet seat device that detects the temperature of the seating surface more accurately and controls it to an appropriate temperature even if the seating surface is heated at high speed by the heater.

第2の発明は、特に第1の発明の便座装置において、安定部材は、便座ケーシングの外部から便座ケーシングの内部に一部を挿入する金属部材からなり、非接触温度検出器は前記金属部材に接触して取り付けた構成としたものであり、安定部材である金属部材が便座外面にもさらされる構成であるため、金属部材の温度分布を均一化させ便座ケーシング内部よりも温度変化の少ない上体となり便座ケーシング外部の温度と均衡のとれた安定温度に保つことができて、この安定部材に非接触温度検出器を接触させることで、更に非接触温度検出器自身の温度が安定して温度検出の精度が向上し、着座面の温度を正確に素早い応答で検出し適温に制御することが可能になる。   In a second aspect of the invention, particularly in the toilet seat device of the first aspect of the invention, the stabilizing member is a metal member that is partially inserted into the toilet seat casing from the outside of the toilet seat casing, and the non-contact temperature detector is connected to the metal member. Since the metal member, which is a stable member, is also exposed to the outer surface of the toilet seat, the upper body has a uniform temperature distribution of the metal member and less temperature change than the inside of the toilet seat casing. It can be kept at a stable temperature balanced with the temperature outside the toilet seat casing, and by contacting the non-contact temperature detector to this stable member, the temperature of the non-contact temperature detector itself is further stabilized. As a result, the temperature of the seating surface can be accurately detected with a quick response and controlled to an appropriate temperature.

The contact temperature detector does not receive the radiant energy of the heater directly, the temperature of the non-contact temperature detector itself is stabilized and the accuracy of temperature detection is improved, and the temperature of the seating surface is accurately detected with a quick response to the appropriate temperature. It becomes possible to control.

第4の発明は、特に第3の発明の便座装置において、便座ケーシング内にヒータの輻射エネルギーを着座面へ反射する輻射反射板を設け、保温室の外壁を前記輻射反射板で構成することにより、ヒータの輻射エネルギーを輻射反射板で反射するので、輻射エネルギーによる保温室内の温度上昇を防ぎ、更に非接触温度検出器自身の温度がより安定して温度検出の精度が向上し、着座面の温度を正確に素早い応答で検出し適温に制御することが可能になる。   According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the toilet seat device of the third aspect of the invention, by providing a radiation reflector that reflects the radiant energy of the heater to the seating surface in the toilet seat casing, and configuring the outer wall of the warming room by the radiation reflector. Because the radiation energy of the heater is reflected by the radiation reflector, the temperature rise in the warming chamber due to the radiation energy is prevented, the temperature of the non-contact temperature detector itself is more stable, and the accuracy of temperature detection is improved. It becomes possible to detect the temperature accurately and quickly and control it to an appropriate temperature.

第5の発明は、特に第3または第4の発明の便座装置において、便座ケーシングに吸気口と排気口とを設け、前記吸気口と前記排気口とを連通させた通風路を保温室に設けた構成とすることにより、保温室に設けた通風路を通る空気流により、保温室は周囲の雰囲気
温度と同一となり、保温室内にある非接触温度検出器はヒータの輻射エネルギーの影響を受けず、非接触温度検出器自身の温度がより安定して温度検出の精度が向上し、着座面の温度を正確に素早い応答で検出し適温に制御することが可能になる。
According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, particularly in the toilet seat device of the third or fourth aspect of the invention, the toilet seat casing is provided with an air inlet and an exhaust port, and an air passage that connects the air inlet and the exhaust port is provided in the warming chamber. By adopting the above configuration, the air flow through the ventilation path provided in the warming chamber makes the warming chamber the same as the ambient temperature, and the non-contact temperature detector in the warming chamber is not affected by the radiant energy of the heater. The temperature of the non-contact temperature detector itself is more stable and the accuracy of temperature detection is improved, and the temperature of the seating surface can be accurately detected with a quick response and controlled to an appropriate temperature.

The human body detecting means 8 is a reflection type infrared sensor and an electric circuit for irradiating and detecting it. When the human body approaches, the irradiated infrared ray is reflected by the human body and detects that the human body is approaching. Is.

便座部5はヒータを内蔵する便座ケーシングよりなり、その上面は内側を窪ませた着座面を形成している。そのヒータの入/切やヒータの通電時の電力量などを制御する電気回路よりなる通電制御手段は本体部4に内蔵している。非接触温度検出器9は便座部5に内蔵し便座部5の着座面の温度を内側から検出するもので、図中破線Aで示す範囲を視野として温度検出している。そして、その温度に基づいて通電制御手段がヒータの通電を制御する。   The toilet seat part 5 consists of a toilet seat casing incorporating a heater, and its upper surface forms a seating surface with its inside recessed. An energization control means comprising an electric circuit for controlling on / off of the heater and the amount of power when the heater is energized is built in the main body 4. The non-contact temperature detector 9 is built in the toilet seat portion 5 and detects the temperature of the seating surface of the toilet seat portion 5 from the inside, and detects the temperature with a range indicated by a broken line A in the drawing as a visual field. Then, the energization control means controls the energization of the heater based on the temperature.

図2に非接触温度検出器9の構成を示す。図2において10は赤外線検出素子であり、サーモパイルによるものである。そして赤外線検出素子10は基板11に固定し、その出力部分と接続したリード線12を引き出し封止缶13内に封止蓋14とフィルタ15で封止している。フィルタ15は外乱光をカットするためのものであり、例えば5μmより短い波長の光をカットする。   FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the non-contact temperature detector 9. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 10 denotes an infrared detection element, which is a thermopile. The infrared detection element 10 is fixed to the substrate 11, and the lead wire 12 connected to the output portion is pulled out and sealed in the sealing can 13 with a sealing lid 14 and a filter 15. The filter 15 is for cutting disturbance light, and cuts light having a wavelength shorter than 5 μm, for example.

また16は凸レンズであり、封止缶13内にはアパーチャ17を設けていて、この凸レンズ16の焦点と、赤外線検出素子10の位置関係と、赤外線検出素子10の面積とアパーチャ17の面積と位置関係により視野角が決まるものであり、図1におけるAの範囲を視野とするように設計したものである。   Reference numeral 16 denotes a convex lens, and an aperture 17 is provided in the sealing can 13. The focal point of the convex lens 16, the positional relationship of the infrared detection element 10, the area of the infrared detection element 10, and the area and position of the aperture 17. The viewing angle is determined by the relationship, and is designed so that the range of A in FIG.

赤外線検出素子10は素子自身の温度と図1におけるAの視野範囲の温度との温度差に相関を持った直流電圧を出力するものである。そこで、赤外線検出素子10自身の温度がわかれば図1における視野範囲Aの温度が絶対値としてわかることになり、そのために基準温度検出器としてサーミスタ18を封止蓋14に密着させていて、サーミスタ18により赤外線検出素子10自身の温度を検出している。19はサーミスタ18の出力を取り出すためのリード線である。   The infrared detection element 10 outputs a DC voltage having a correlation with the temperature difference between the temperature of the element itself and the temperature in the visual field range A in FIG. Therefore, if the temperature of the infrared detection element 10 itself is known, the temperature of the visual field range A in FIG. 1 can be known as an absolute value. For this purpose, a thermistor 18 is brought into close contact with the sealing lid 14 as a reference temperature detector. 18 detects the temperature of the infrared detection element 10 itself. Reference numeral 19 denotes a lead wire for taking out the output of the thermistor 18.

そしてリード線12から出力される赤外線検出素子10の出力と、リード線19から出力されるサーミスタ18の出力は、温度検出回路20に入力している。温度検出回路20は増幅回路21、AD変換回路22、温度算出回路23を含む構成である。増幅回路21は赤外線検出素子10からの出力電圧を増幅するアナログ回路であり、AD変換回路22は増幅回路21を介して出力された赤外線検出素子10の出力と、サーミスタ18の抵抗変化を電圧変化として検出した出力をデジタル値に変換する回路であり、更に温度算出回路23は数式をプログラムにしたCPUを含み、赤外線検出素子10からの出力とサーミスタ18からの出力を加算して温度を算出する。   The output of the infrared detection element 10 output from the lead wire 12 and the output of the thermistor 18 output from the lead wire 19 are input to the temperature detection circuit 20.

The amplification circuit 21 is an analog circuit that amplifies the output voltage from the infrared detection element 10, and the AD conversion circuit 22 changes the voltage of the output of the infrared detection element 10 output via the amplification circuit 21 and the resistance change of the thermistor 18. The temperature calculation circuit 23 includes a CPU programmed with a mathematical formula, and calculates the temperature by adding the output from the infrared detection element 10 and the output from the thermistor 18. .

図3は便座部5を上面より見た場合の模式的透視図である。また図4は図3に示す便座部B−B線断面図である。図4に基づいて便座部5の構成について説明する。便座部5は便座表板24と便座裏板25の2つの便座ケーシングを備えていて、便座表板24が着座面を形成している。便座表板24と便座裏板25により形成した内部空洞にはヒータ26を備えている。ヒータ26は輻射で加熱するランプヒータであり、ガラス管27の内部にタングステンフィラメント28を貫通して構成したものである。またランプヒータ26の下にはアルミ板を鏡面仕上げした輻射反射板29を備えていて、ランプヒータ26からの輻射エネルギーを便座表板24に集中させるように構成している。また便座表板24は金属で構成していて熱応答が速く、また便座裏板25は熱応答の遅い樹脂で構成していて、特に着座面を素早く加熱するようにしている。この構成によりランプヒータ26に電源投入直後から着座面となる便座表板24を毎秒1度以上の速度で急峻に温度上昇させることができる。   FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view of the toilet seat 5 as viewed from above. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the toilet seat section BB shown in FIG. The structure of the toilet seat part 5 is demonstrated based on FIG. The toilet seat 5 includes two toilet seat casings, a toilet seat front plate 24 and a toilet seat back plate 25, and the toilet seat front plate 24 forms a seating surface. A heater 26 is provided in the internal cavity formed by the toilet seat front plate 24 and the toilet seat back plate 25. The heater 26 is a lamp heater that is heated by radiation, and is constructed by penetrating a tungsten filament 28 inside a glass tube 27. A radiation reflector 29 having a mirror finished aluminum plate is provided under the lamp heater 26 so that the radiation energy from the lamp heater 26 is concentrated on the toilet seat surface plate 24. The toilet seat front plate 24 is made of metal and has a fast thermal response, and the toilet seat back plate 25 is made of a resin having a slow thermal response so that the seating surface is heated quickly. With this configuration, the temperature of the toilet seat surface plate 24 serving as a seating surface can be rapidly increased at a rate of 1 degree or more per second immediately after the lamp heater 26 is turned on.

便座表板24は金属に塗装を施して構成したものであり、ランプヒータ26からの輻射熱を受けて素早い応答で温度上昇する。また金属により構成しているので、熱伝導が素早く着座面全体の温度を均一にすることができる。そのため、図1に示すAの領域の温度を検出するだけで、ほぼ着座面全体の温度検出をしていることに等しい条件を作り出している。また塗装を施しているので、金属による光の反射を最小限に抑えることができ、着座面以外の温度の影響や外乱交による影響を受けにくく、精度良く温度検出できる。   The toilet seat surface plate 24 is formed by painting metal, and receives a radiant heat from the lamp heater 26 and rises in temperature with a quick response. Moreover, since it comprises metal, heat conduction can make the temperature of the whole seating surface uniform quickly. For this reason, only the temperature of the region A shown in FIG. 1 is detected, and a condition equivalent to the temperature detection of almost the entire seating surface is created. In addition, since the coating is applied, the reflection of light by metal can be minimized, and the temperature can be accurately detected without being influenced by the temperature other than the seating surface and the influence of disturbance.

また、便座部5の内部には、ヒータ26と対抗する面を鏡面仕上げした輻射反射板101を設け、輻射反射板101及び、便座表板24、便座裏板25で囲まれる保温室102を備えている。そして、この保温室102には便座部5の外部から便座裏板25を貫通させた安定部材である金属部材103を設けていて、この金属部材103に非接触温度検出器9を接触させるように取り付けている。この金属部材103は非接触温度検出器9の温度を安定させるために設けたものであり、少なくとも便座表板24よりは十分温度変化が少なく安定した温度を維持できるものである。この構成で非接触温度検出器9は便座表板24の温度、即ち、着座面の温度を内側から検出する。このように、非接触温度検出器9を保温室102の中に設けたことにより、非接触温度検出器9がヒータ26の輻射エネルギーを直接受けることがなくなる。またヒータ26の輻射エネルギーは輻射反射板101で反射するので、保温室102内の温度上昇を防ぐことができる。更に、温度を安定させるための金属部材103に非接触温度検出器9を接触させていることにより、温度の安定した条件で着座面の温度を検出することができ、温度検出精度を高めることができる。   In addition, a radiation reflector 101 having a mirror-finished surface facing the heater 26 is provided inside the toilet seat portion 5, and a heat retention chamber 102 surrounded by the radiation reflector 101, the toilet seat front plate 24, and the toilet seat back plate 25 is provided. ing. In addition, a metal member 103, which is a stable member that allows the toilet seat back plate 25 to penetrate from the outside of the toilet seat portion 5, is provided in the warming chamber 102, and the non-contact temperature detector 9 is brought into contact with the metal member 103. It is attached. This metal member 103 is provided to stabilize the temperature of the non-contact temperature detector 9, and is capable of maintaining a stable temperature with a temperature change sufficiently smaller than at least the toilet seat surface plate 24. With this configuration, the non-contact temperature detector 9 detects the temperature of the toilet seat surface plate 24, that is, the temperature of the seating surface from the inside. As described above, by providing the non-contact temperature detector 9 in the thermal storage chamber 102, the non-contact temperature detector 9 does not receive the radiation energy of the heater 26 directly. Moreover, since the radiant energy of the heater 26 is reflected by the radiation reflector 101, the temperature rise in the thermal storage chamber 102 can be prevented. Furthermore, the non-contact temperature detector 9 is brought into contact with the metal member 103 for stabilizing the temperature, so that the temperature of the seating surface can be detected under a stable temperature condition, and the temperature detection accuracy can be improved. it can.

一般にサーモパイル10は熱接点と冷接点を有するものであり、熱接点と冷接点の温度差に相関を持った直流電圧を出力するものである。熱接点の温度はその雰囲気温度をT1とすると、T1に視野範囲から得られる輻射エネルギーによる温度上昇ΔTが加算され、T1+ΔTとなる。一方、冷接点の温度はその雰囲気温度をT2とすると、光を当てないので輻射エネルギーは受けず、T2となる。ここで視野範囲からの輻射エネルギーを知るにはT1=T2であることが大前提であって、その条件のときに出力電圧からΔTの分だけを算出することができる。   In general, the thermopile 10 has a hot junction and a cold junction, and outputs a DC voltage having a correlation with a temperature difference between the hot junction and the cold junction. Assuming that the temperature of the hot junction is T1, the temperature rise ΔT due to the radiation energy obtained from the visual field range is added to T1, and becomes T1 + ΔT. On the other hand, if the ambient temperature is T2, the cold junction temperature is T2 without receiving radiant energy because no light is applied. Here, in order to know the radiant energy from the visual field range, T1 = T2 is a major premise, and only ΔT can be calculated from the output voltage under the condition.

熱接点と冷接点の温度を等しくするには、封止缶13から封止蓋14までを均一な温度にしておかなければならず、特に近傍にヒータなどの熱源があって、急激に雰囲気温度が変化するような状態であっても、この均一性を保たなければならない。   In order to equalize the temperature of the hot junction and the cold junction, the temperature from the sealing can 13 to the sealing lid 14 must be kept uniform, and in particular, there is a heat source such as a heater in the vicinity, and the ambient temperature is rapidly increased. This uniformity must be maintained even in a state in which changes.

そのために、便座表板24に吸気口104、便座裏板25に排気口105を設け、保温室102内に通風路106を形成し、通風路106を通る空気流により、保温室102は周囲の雰囲気温度と同一となり、非接触温度検出器の温度環境がヒータの輻射エネルギーの影響を受けることがなくなり、非接触温度検出器9の温度上昇を防ぐとともに封止缶13から封止蓋14までを均一な温度になるようにしている。ここで、本体部4に送風機を設け、この送風機から送風される空気流を吸気口104から導入するようにしても良い。   For this purpose, an air inlet 104 is provided in the toilet seat front plate 24 and an air outlet 105 is provided in the toilet seat back plate 25, and a ventilation path 106 is formed in the thermal insulation chamber 102. It becomes the same as the ambient temperature, the temperature environment of the non-contact temperature detector is not affected by the radiant energy of the heater, the temperature of the non-contact temperature detector 9 is prevented from rising, and from the sealing can 13 to the sealing lid 14 A uniform temperature is set. Here, a blower may be provided in the main body 4 and an air flow blown from the blower may be introduced from the intake port 104.

以上のように、非接触温度検出器9は赤外線検出素子自身の温度と測定する視野範囲の温度との温度差に相関を持った電圧を出力するものであるので、金属部材103や、保温室102、輻射反射板101、通風路105などにより非接触温度検出器9は赤外線検出素子自身の温度が安定するので、着座面の温度をより正確に検出することが可能になる。   As described above, the non-contact temperature detector 9 outputs a voltage having a correlation with the temperature difference between the temperature of the infrared detection element itself and the temperature of the visual field range to be measured. Since the temperature of the infrared detection element itself of the non-contact temperature detector 9 is stabilized by the 102, the radiation reflecting plate 101, the ventilation path 105, etc., it becomes possible to detect the temperature of the seating surface more accurately.

再度、図3に基づいて構成と作用を説明する。図3に示すようにランプヒータ26、輻射反射板29は着座面に合わせてU字形の構成としている。そして通電制御手段30がランプヒータ26の通電を制御する。通電制御は電源の入/切制御や位相角制御などにより通電の電力を制御するものである。その通電制御手段30に信号を送るのが人体検出手段8と非接触温度検出器9である。   Again, a structure and an effect | action are demonstrated based on FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the lamp heater 26 and the radiation reflecting plate 29 are U-shaped in accordance with the seating surface. The energization control means 30 controls the energization of the lamp heater 26. In the energization control, the energization power is controlled by power on / off control or phase angle control. The human body detecting means 8 and the non-contact temperature detector 9 send signals to the energization control means 30.

人体検出手段8により人が便座装置2に近づいたことを検出すると、通電制御手段30はランプヒータ26に通電して、着座面となる便座表板24を加熱する。一方、非接触温度検出器9は、着座面の図1に示すAの領域の温度を非接触で検出する。検出した温度が予め設定した温度または使用者が設定した温度より低ければランプヒータ26に投入する電力を大きくし、高ければ小さくしたり切ったりする。そのようにフィードバック制御することで、着座面の温度を設定温度に保つように制御する。非接触温度検出器9は輻射温度を測定するので、熱伝導で温度を測定するより応答が速く、ランプヒータ26のように輻射で急速に温度上昇する着座面であっても、その温度上昇に追従して温度測定できる。   When the human body detecting means 8 detects that a person has approached the toilet seat device 2, the energization control means 30 energizes the lamp heater 26 and heats the toilet seat surface plate 24 serving as a seating surface. On the other hand, the non-contact temperature detector 9 detects the temperature of the area A shown in FIG. If the detected temperature is lower than the preset temperature or the temperature set by the user, the electric power supplied to the lamp heater 26 is increased, and if it is higher, it is decreased or cut off. By performing such feedback control, the temperature of the seating surface is controlled to be kept at the set temperature. Since the non-contact temperature detector 9 measures the radiation temperature, the response is faster than the measurement of the temperature by heat conduction, and even the seating surface such as the lamp heater 26 where the temperature rises rapidly due to the radiation is increased. The temperature can be measured following.

以上のように、本実施の形態においてはヒータ26により便座ケーシングの着座面24を加熱し、便座5の内部に設けた非接触温度検出器9で着座面である便座表板24の内側の温度を検出し、その検出した温度に基づき通電制御手段30がヒータ26の通電を制御するものであり、非接触温度検出器9で温度検出しているので高速応答で温度検出できる。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the seating surface 24 of the toilet seat casing is heated by the heater 26, and the temperature inside the toilet seat surface plate 24 that is the seating surface by the non-contact temperature detector 9 provided inside the toilet seat 5. And the energization control means 30 controls the energization of the heater 26 based on the detected temperature. Since the temperature is detected by the non-contact temperature detector 9, the temperature can be detected with a high-speed response.

そして、この非接触温度検出器9は便座ケーシングの着座面24よりも温度変動の少ないものに接触させて取り付けているので、非接触温度検出器9自身の温度が安定して温度検出の精度が向上する。従って、非接触検出器は高速応答で温度検出可能で、ヒータにより高速加熱してもそれに追従して正確に着座面の温度を検出し適温に制御する便座装置を提供することが可能となる。   And since this non-contact temperature detector 9 is attached in contact with a thing with less temperature fluctuation than the seating surface 24 of the toilet seat casing, the temperature of the non-contact temperature detector 9 itself is stabilized and the accuracy of temperature detection is improved. improves. Therefore, the non-contact detector can detect the temperature with a high-speed response, and can provide a toilet seat device that detects the temperature of the seating surface accurately and controls it to an appropriate temperature even if the heater is heated at high speed.

また、便座ケーシング25の外部から便座ケーシング24、25の内部に一部を挿入する安定部材である金属部材103を有し、非接触温度検出器9は金属部材103に接触して取り付けた構成としたものであるため、金属部材103で温度分布を均一化させ便座ケーシング内部よりも温度変化のない便座ケーシング外部に曝されるので、便座ケーシングの外部温度と均衡して安定温度に保つことができる部材となる。この安定部材である金属部材103に非接触温度検出器9を接触させることで、更に非接触温度検出器自身の温度
が安定して温度検出の精度が向上し、着座面の温度を正確に素早い応答で検出し適温に制御することが可能になる。
Further, it has a metal member 103 which is a stabilizing member for inserting a part from the outside of the toilet seat casing 25 into the inside of the toilet seat casings 24, 25, and the non-contact temperature detector 9 is attached in contact with the metal member 103. Therefore, the metal member 103 makes the temperature distribution uniform and is exposed to the outside of the toilet seat casing where the temperature does not change more than the inside of the toilet seat casing, so that it can be kept at a stable temperature in balance with the external temperature of the toilet seat casing. It becomes a member. By bringing the non-contact temperature detector 9 into contact with the metal member 103, which is a stable member, the temperature of the non-contact temperature detector itself is further stabilized, the temperature detection accuracy is improved, and the temperature of the seating surface is accurately and rapidly increased. It is possible to detect the response and control the temperature appropriately.

また、便座5の内部にヒータ29と隔離する保温室102を設け、非接触温度検出器9は保温室102の中に設けたことにより、非接触温度検出器9がヒータの輻射エネルギーを直接受けることがなくなり、非接触温度検出器9自身の温度が安定し温度検出の精度が向上し、着座面の温度を正確に素早い応答で検出し適温に制御することが可能になる。   In addition, since the warming chamber 102 that is isolated from the heater 29 is provided in the toilet seat 5 and the non-contact temperature detector 9 is provided in the warm chamber 102, the non-contact temperature detector 9 directly receives the radiation energy of the heater. Thus, the temperature of the non-contact temperature detector 9 itself is stabilized, the temperature detection accuracy is improved, and the temperature of the seating surface can be accurately detected with a quick response and controlled to an appropriate temperature.

また、保温室102の外壁をヒータの輻射エネルギーを反射する輻射反射板101で構成することにより、ヒータ26の輻射エネルギーは輻射反射板101で反射するので、保温室102内の温度上昇を防ぎ、更に非接触温度検出器9自身の温度が安定して温度検出の精度が向上し、着座面の温度を正確に素早い応答で検出し適温に制御することが可能になる。   Moreover, since the radiation energy of the heater 26 is reflected by the radiation reflecting plate 101 by configuring the outer wall of the temperature maintaining chamber 102 with the radiation reflecting plate 101 that reflects the radiation energy of the heater, the temperature rise in the temperature maintaining chamber 102 is prevented, Furthermore, the temperature of the non-contact temperature detector 9 itself is stabilized and the accuracy of temperature detection is improved, and the temperature of the seating surface can be accurately detected with a quick response and controlled to an appropriate temperature.

また、便座表板24、便座裏板25に吸気口104と排気口105とを設け、吸気口104と排気口105とを連通させた通風路106を保温室102に設けたことにより、通風路106を通る空気流により、保温室102は周囲の雰囲気温度と同一となり、保温室102内にある非接触温度検出器9はヒータ26の輻射エネルギーの影響を受けず、非接触温度検出器9自身の温度がより安定して温度検出の精度が向上し、着座面の温度を正確に素早い応答で検出し適温に制御することが可能になる。   Further, the air intake channel 104 in which the air inlet 104 and the air exhaust port 105 are provided in the toilet seat front plate 24 and the toilet seat back plate 25 and the air intake port 104 and the air exhaust port 105 are communicated with each other is provided in the warming chamber 102. Due to the air flow through 106, the temperature of the warming chamber 102 becomes the same as the ambient temperature, and the non-contact temperature detector 9 in the warming chamber 102 is not affected by the radiation energy of the heater 26, and the non-contact temperature detector 9 itself. Therefore, the temperature of the seating surface is more stable and the accuracy of temperature detection is improved, and the temperature of the seating surface can be accurately detected with a quick response and controlled to an appropriate temperature.

また、非接触温度検出器9は赤外線センサである構成とすることにより、非接触で温度を検出することが可能となり、温度検出の応答が速く着座面の温度を正確に検出し適温に制御することが可能になる。   Further, the non-contact temperature detector 9 is an infrared sensor, so that it is possible to detect the temperature in a non-contact manner, the temperature detection response is fast and the temperature of the seating surface is accurately detected and controlled to an appropriate temperature. It becomes possible.

なお、本実施の形態では、ヒータを1本のランプヒータとした場合について説明したが、このランプヒータは複数本のランプヒータからなる構成、または複数種類のヒータが便座内に内臓された構成などであってもよい。さらに、ヒータが便座内に内蔵されない加熱方式、たとえば、温風を着座面にあてたり、便蓋にヒータを埋め込んだりするような構成で着座部を暖めるような構成としてもよい。   In the present embodiment, the case where the heater is a single lamp heater has been described. However, this lamp heater is composed of a plurality of lamp heaters, or a structure in which a plurality of types of heaters are built in the toilet seat. It may be. Furthermore, a heating system in which the heater is not built in the toilet seat, for example, a configuration in which warm air is applied to the seating surface or the heater is embedded in the toilet lid may be configured to warm the seating portion.

また、本実施の形態では便座が均一加熱される構成としたが、必要な部位のみ暖房する方式をとり、便座温度が不均一になる場合などは、最も温度上昇率の高い部位の温度を検知すると安全側の制御が可能であるし、平均的な温度を示す部位の温度を検知するように構成しても、適温への昇温と、適温調節が可能である。   In this embodiment, the toilet seat is heated uniformly. However, only the necessary part is heated, and when the toilet seat temperature becomes uneven, the temperature of the part with the highest rate of temperature rise is detected. Then, control on the safe side is possible, and even if it is configured to detect the temperature of the portion showing the average temperature, it is possible to raise the temperature to an appropriate temperature and adjust the temperature appropriately.

また、本実施の形態では非接触温度検知器として、赤外線検出素子であるサーモパイルを含む構成で説明したが、他にも例えば焦電センサなどがあり、この場合には視野を断続するためのチョッパ機構が必要となり構成はやや複雑になるものの、サーモパイルより更に応答が素早く1秒間に数十回の温度検出も可能となるので、更に高速で着座面の温度を上昇させるような構成にでも適用できる。   Further, in the present embodiment, the non-contact temperature detector has been described with a configuration including a thermopile that is an infrared detection element, but there are other pyroelectric sensors, for example. In this case, a chopper for interrupting the visual field Although a mechanism is required and the configuration is somewhat complicated, the response is quicker than that of a thermopile, and it is possible to detect the temperature several tens of times per second, so that it can be applied to a configuration that raises the temperature of the seating surface at a higher speed. .

また、本実施の形態では金属部材は、便座裏板から便座ケーシングの内部に挿入する構成としたが、便座表板と便座裏板とを接合する接合部分から挿入する構成としても良く、便座裏板に貫通孔を設ける必要がないので便座ケーシングの強度を保つことができる。   In the present embodiment, the metal member is configured to be inserted into the toilet seat casing from the toilet seat back plate. However, the metal member may be configured to be inserted from a joint portion that joins the toilet seat front plate and the toilet seat back plate. Since it is not necessary to provide a through hole in the plate, the strength of the toilet seat casing can be maintained.

また、本実施の形態では便座表板に吸気口となる貫通孔を、便座裏板に排気口となる貫通孔を設けて、保温室に通風路を形成する構成としたが、吸気口及び排気口は便座表板と便座裏板とを接合する接合部分に設けても良く、便座ケーシングに貫通孔を開けないので便座ケーシングの強度を保つことができる。   In the present embodiment, the toilet seat front plate is provided with a through-hole serving as an intake port, and the toilet seat back plate is provided with a through-hole serving as an exhaust port. The mouth may be provided at a joint portion where the toilet seat front plate and the toilet seat back plate are joined, and since the through hole is not formed in the toilet seat casing, the strength of the toilet seat casing can be maintained.
