  As described above, the urination information measuring device 101 embodying the present invention is operated by operating the remote control 32 for the sanitary washing device, and the urine information measuring unit 200 is operated by operating the remote control 34 for the urine information measuring device. Since each is instructed to operate, there is a possibility that the user operates the remote controller of another device while executing the function of one device. However, during each operation of these devices, some operations may be affected, resulting in measurement errors or instrument damage. Therefore, it is necessary to prescribe how to operate each of the toilet unit 100 and the urination information measuring unit 200 according to the operation status at that time in response to the operation instruction given by the user. . Therefore, in this embodiment, the urination information measuring unit 200 is provided with a state monitoring unit 19a, and the toilet unit 100 is provided with a state display unit 19b and a state receiving unit 19c corresponding to the state monitoring unit 19a.

Hereinafter, the cooperative control of the operation of each function provided in the urination information measuring apparatus 101 will be described in detail.
The state display unit 19b stores the operation state of the toilet unit 100 every moment, and the state reception unit 19c receives and stores the operation state of the urination information measurement unit 200 as a result instructed by the remote controller 34.
On the other hand, the state monitoring unit 19a of the measurement control unit 15a constantly monitors the information on the state display unit 19b, and as a result, it is possible to grasp the momentary operation state of the toilet unit 100.
Moreover, the state transmission means 19d is provided and the operation state of the urination information measurement unit 200 is transmitted to the state reception means 19c.

  Because of the above configuration, for example, during urination information measurement on the urine information measuring unit 200 side, the sanitary washing operation by the sanitary washing means 20a of the sanitary washing device 20 and the toilet water supply means 6 on the remote control 32 on the toilet unit 100 side. When the toilet water supply operation is instructed, the stored content of the state display means 19b is rewritten with the instruction content, and the state monitoring means 19a that is constantly monitoring immediately knows it. Then, the state monitoring means 19a controls the operation of the urination information measuring unit 200 as determined in advance. In this embodiment, the measurement control unit 15a is instructed to end the measurement operation. On the other hand, when the urination information measurement operation is instructed by the remote control 34 on the urine information measuring unit 200 side during the operation of the sanitary washing means 20a or the toilet water supply means 6 on the toilet unit 100 side, the state transmitting unit 19d performs the urination information measurement operation. Is sent to the state receiving means 19c on the side of the section 100, and the toilet control section 15b terminates the operations of the sanitary washing means 20a and the toilet water supply means 6 of the toilet section 100 according to the information in accordance with a predetermined procedure, and the state display means 19b. Changes the stored contents according to the state. The state monitoring means 19a switches the operation to the measurement operation according to a predetermined procedure after confirming that the stored content of the state display means 19b has become a predetermined content.

  As described above, the urination information measuring apparatus 101 configured to perform a plurality of functions and operations is provided with the cooperative operation control unit 25 including the state monitoring unit 19a, the state display unit 19b, the state reception unit 19c, and the state transmission unit 19d. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the movements from interfering with each other to cause a measurement error or the instrument to be damaged.

  Further, as in the case of the toilet unit 100 and the urination information measurement unit 200 in the present embodiment, all the controls of the urine information measurement device 101 are not controlled by a single integrated control unit, but a plurality of structural units. By providing a plurality of control units that can be operated independently of each other, and separately providing cooperative operation control means 25 that performs matching / adjustment between the operations of the plurality of structural units, a plurality of configurations The urination information measuring apparatus 101 can be configured without significantly changing the unit control specifications.

  In other words, the combination of the toilet unit 100 and the measuring unit 200 is changed to a predetermined one by changing the specification of the cooperative operation control means 25 that controls the linked operation of a plurality of control units like the urination information measuring device 101 of the present embodiment. It can be easily changed to another combination without being limited to the above. Therefore, in the case where the degree of freedom of such a combination is not provided, the toilet unit 100 and the urination information measurement unit 200 are integrated, and all of the above-described cooperation control for preventing interference between operations is included. It is also possible to perform the operation control in a single control unit.

  In this embodiment, the operation instruction information from the remote controller 34 is sent to the status receiving means 19c via the status transmitting means 19d, but is sent to the status receiving means 19c via the remote control 32. Anyway.

  When the sanitary washing means 20a of the sanitary washing device 20 performs a local washing operation while the urination information measuring section 200 constituting the urination information measuring means in the present invention performs the water level measuring operation of the stored water 4, urination and sanitary washing water are performed. It is impossible to distinguish between the two, and both operations cause operation interference. This is an example, but if the cooperative operation control according to the present invention is not performed, the toilet cleaning means, the sanitary cleaning means, and the urination information measuring means cause operation interference.

  In the block diagram shown in FIG. 2, the water level measurement of the stored water constituting the measuring unit 30 for measuring the water channel communicating with the jet water discharging means 81 constituting the toilet water supply means 6 and the branching part 82 communicating with the jet nozzle 8 and the urination information. Two conduits are connected to the pressure guiding water channel 83 communicating with the means 14.

  The jet nozzle 8 functions as a spout for flushing toilet water from the toilet water supply means 6 for inducing a siphon phenomenon in the trap 5 when the toilet cleaning operation is performed, and at the time of the water level measurement operation of the stored water level measuring means 14, It serves as a pressure inlet for transmitting the hydrostatic pressure of the accumulated water 4 to the accumulated water level measuring means 14 via the pressure guiding channel 83. Thus, in this embodiment, the zzet nozzle 8 is shared by the urination information measuring means and the toilet bowl cleaning means in the present invention. Therefore, when both channels are operating, if the other channel is not closed / switched, the operations will not interfere with each other and normal functions will not be exhibited. There is a risk of damage and functional deterioration of the components that make up, and is indispensable for ensuring operational reliability.

  For example, when the toilet flushing operation is performed while the pressure guiding water channel 83 is in communication, the pressure sensor connected to the pressure guiding water channel 83 as the stored water level measuring means 14 by the pressure generated by the supply of toilet flush water to the jet nozzle 8. The pressure measurement means such as

  Furthermore, in order to prevent the occurrence of such an interference operation, if each operation is immediately switched at a timing that matches the user's switch operation, the operation that can be switched is, for example, pipeline closing or pipeline switching. If the operation includes a time-consuming operation, the next operation is started without completing the operation, and the above-described instrument may be damaged.

  Considering that the toilet cleaning device, the sanitary cleaning device, and the urine information measuring device constituting the urine information measuring device 101 are produced individually from an industrial viewpoint, each of the control devices that control the operation of each of these devices is provided. It is a reasonable idea to have it. In that case, in order to smoothly operate the operations of these units as a plurality of functions of the urination information measuring apparatus 101, a linked operation control unit that organizes and integrates the operation control information of these units is required.

  For this reason, in this embodiment, the linkage operation control means 25 organizes the traffic of information transmission to each part, so that the operation of each means can be smoothly executed, and the troubles such as breakage of components and functional deterioration of the device are eliminated. Generation prevention is aimed at. For example, when the remote control 32 is operated and the toilet flushing signal is transmitted to the toilet control unit 15b during the operation of the urination information measurement unit 200, the linkage operation control unit 25 guides the pressure of the measurement unit 30 via the measurement control unit 15a. After waiting for the time to close the road, the toilet flushing means 6 is driven via the toilet controller 15b.

  In this way, the shared pipeline can be used as a pipeline for each function, and since it is not necessary to have an integrated control unit, toilet flushing means, sanitary washing means, and urination information Even if the measuring means are produced individually and used in combination, the risk of lowering the operation reliability can be eliminated by providing the linked operation control means according to the present invention.

  When the toilet unit 100 and the urination information measurement unit 200 constitute a control unit as in the present embodiment, it becomes easy to select a combination of the toilet unit and the urination information measurement unit. In other words, there is a feature that the linking operation can be performed without exchanging the entire toilet, for example, when the toilet is replaced or when the urination information measurement item is changed. As described above, it is easy to cope with the fact that the construction contractor is different between the toilet part and the urination information measuring part, and the commercial flow and physical distribution are different.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of the measurement unit 30 of the urination information measuring device of the present invention and each water level related to urination information measurement. The Western-style toilet 1 is connected to the sewage pipe 9 via the drain socket 10. ing. By providing the sealed water 4 formed by the trap part 5 with a sealing water that blocks communication with the sewage pipe 9, odors and sanitary pests generated in the sewage pipe are prevented from entering the toilet. Considered.
As shown in FIG. 3, during standby, the stored water level in the ball 2 of the urination information measuring apparatus 101 is the measurement start water level indicated by Y. The measurement start water level Y is a water level in consideration of prevention of breakage due to pressure fluctuations in the sewage pipe, and is a position where the seal depth is 50 mm or more with respect to the breakwater level X2. The difference in the amount of accumulated water between the overflow water level H, which is the position of the top portion 108a of the trap section 5, and the measurement start water level Y is the urine volume measurement range.

  When the measurement start water level Y is formed, the target value of the water level formed by water discharge from the rim water discharge nozzle 107 in the toilet flushing operation is set to a predetermined water level lower than the measurement start water level Y, and water discharge from the rim water discharge nozzle 107 is performed. After the completion, the water level actually formed is measured by the stored water level measuring means 14 to obtain the deficient amount of water supply from the deviation from the measurement start water level Y, and the water in the auxiliary tank 119k is discharged into the pressure conduit 118a and the jet water discharge. It may be configured to be additionally supplied by the pump 119l via the nozzle 109 and corrected to the measurement start water level Y. In this case, the water level forming means 6 shown in the block diagram of FIG. 2 is the flow path switching means 116 for supplying water and the auxiliary tank 119k.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the urination information measuring apparatus 101 to which the present invention is applied and the sanitary washing means 20a of the sanitary washing apparatus 20. Using this flowchart, the alignment / adjustment operation performed by the above-described cooperative operation control means 25 will be described in detail with respect to each operation relating to the urination information measurement function, the toilet bowl cleaning function, and the local cleaning function of the urination information measurement apparatus 101. .

  In S101, the measurement operation of the urination information measuring apparatus 101 is started. S201 is a step of confirming whether or not the sanitary washing means 20a of the sanitary washing apparatus 20 is performing the sanitary washing operation. If it is confirmed that the sanitary washing means 20a is performing the sanitary washing operation, the urination information of the urination information measuring apparatus 101 is obtained in S202. It is confirmed whether or not there is a measurement operation start operation. If the operation start operation is confirmed, in S203, it is notified that the sanitary washing operation of the sanitary washing means 20a is to be stopped. As a notification method, a method of displaying character information on the display panel of the operation / display unit or notifying the subject by voice can be considered. Next, after the sanitary washing operation of the sanitary washing means 20a is actually stopped in S204, the urination information measuring device is activated in S205.

On the other hand, if there is no measurement operation start operation of the urination information measuring device in S202, the presence or absence of the toilet cleaning operation start operation is confirmed in S206. When the start operation of the toilet cleaning operation of the toilet bowl cleaning means is confirmed in S206, after notifying that the sanitary washing operation of the sanitary washing means is stopped in S207, the sanitary washing operation is stopped in S208, and then the toilet bowl cleaning is performed in S209. Start operation.
Moreover, when the start operation of the toilet bowl water supply operation of the toilet bowl water supply means is not confirmed in S206, the sanitary washing operation of the sanitary washing means is continued.

If it is confirmed in S201 that the sanitary washing means 20a of the sanitary washing device 20 is not used, it is checked in S301 whether the urine information measuring device is performing a measurement operation. If it is confirmed that the urination information measuring device is in the measurement operation, it is checked in S302 whether there is an operation for starting the sanitary washing operation of the sanitary washing means 20a. If there is an operation start operation, the urination information measuring device in S303. The fact that the measurement operation is stopped is notified. Next, after the measurement operation of the urination information measuring means is stopped in S304, the sanitary washing operation of the sanitary washing means 20a is started in S305.
If it is confirmed in S302 that the measurement operation of the urination information measurement means has not been started, the presence or absence of the start operation of the toilet water supply operation of the toilet water supply means is confirmed in S306. If it is confirmed in S306 that there has been an operation start operation of the toilet bowl cleaning means, a notification that the measurement operation of the urination information measuring device is to be stopped is issued in S307. Next, after stopping the measurement operation of the urination information measuring device in S308, the toilet water supply operation of the toilet cleaning means is started in S309.
When there is no operation for starting the toilet bowl water supply operation of the toilet bowl cleaning means in S306, the measurement operation of the urination information measuring device is continued.

  S401 is a toilet cleaning operation of the toilet cleaning means, that is, a series of steps for generating a siphon phenomenon in the trap by supplying water into the ball and discharging the accumulated water toward the sewage, and then supplying water again to ensure sealing water again. This is a step for confirming whether or not the operation is being performed. When the toilet bowl cleaning operation is not being executed, the process proceeds to S501 described later. If the toilet bowl cleaning operation is being executed, whether or not the sanitary cleaning operation start operation of the sanitary cleaning means is confirmed in S402. If there is an operation for starting the operation of the sanitary washing means, the user is notified in S403 that “the sanitary washing operation is started”, waits for the above-described series of toilet bowl washing operations to be completed, and then the sanitary washing is performed in S404. The operation is started, and the process proceeds to S501 described later. When there is no sanitary washing operation start operation, the presence or absence of the measurement operation start operation of the urination information measuring device is confirmed in S406. If there is no operation to start the urination information measurement operation, the process proceeds to S501 described later. If there is an operation for starting the urination information measurement operation, the user is informed in S407 that “the urination information measurement operation is started”, waits for the toilet flushing operation to be completed, and then the urination information measurement operation is performed in S408. The process proceeds to S501 described later.

  In addition, the toilet cleaning operation described above is for the purpose of ensuring the hygiene of the toilet by shutting off the communication with the sewage pipe after draining the accumulated water containing the waste toward the sewage pipe by supplying water into the ball. The above-mentioned trap is supplied with water to form a stored water that seals the communication with the sewage pipe. . On the other hand, in the present invention, in order to accurately set the water level before the start of measurement to a predetermined water level below the overflow water level of the trap by water supply, rough adjustment by valve water supply and fine adjustment by tank water supply are performed in this water supply operation. As described above. If the valve is set to supply water at least until the trap mouth is sealed with the rough adjustment operation, the toilet is disconnected from the sewage pipe at the end of this operation, maintaining hygiene. It is. Therefore, when there is a continuous operation as shown in steps S402 and S406 with such setting, if the fine adjustment operation by tank water supply is omitted and the operation switching is performed, the waiting time of the user is generated. The operation switching time lag can be reduced, making it easy to use.

  In this case, since the measurement start water level is lower than the predetermined water level, when flushing the toilet after the urination information measurement is completed, the water level and the predetermined measurement start water level are set by the time when the siphon is activated by jet water discharge. It is necessary to supply more than the same amount of stored water corresponding to the difference in water level. In addition to the method of increasing the rim water supply amount that is first performed when the toilet flushing operation is performed, a method of replenishing the water in the replenishment tank from the jet water discharge nozzle after the measurement is completed is also conceivable.

  S501 is a step of confirming whether or not the sanitary washing operation is stopped by the sanitary washing means. If the sanitary cleaning operation of the sanitary cleaning unit is stopped and the sanitary cleaning unit is in the sanitary cleaning operation in S502, the sanitary cleaning operation of the sanitary cleaning unit is stopped in S503. Further, when the sanitary washing means is not in the sanitary washing operation, it shifts to the monitoring state. When there is no operation stop operation of the sanitary washing means in S501, the process proceeds to S601.

  S601 is a step of confirming whether or not the urination information measurement operation is stopped by the urination information measurement means. If there is an operation stop operation of the urination information measuring means and the urine information measuring device is in the measurement operation in S602, the measurement operation of the urine information measuring device is stopped in S603. Further, when the urination information measuring device is not in the measuring operation, the state again shifts to the monitoring state. If there is no operation stop operation of the urination information measuring means in S601, the state again shifts to the monitoring state.

  FIG. 5 is a timing chart when the user performs a normal operation set by the present applicant on the urination information measuring apparatus 101 in the present invention. The urination information measurement flow assumed by the present applicant will be described using this timing chart.

  When a subject who performs urination information measurement enters the toilet and performs a measurement start operation of the remote controller 34 while standing up at time a, the urine information measurement apparatus 101 is activated at time b. When the user undresses and sits on the toilet seat at time c, the seating detection means incorporated in the sanitary washing device 20 detects the seating of the subject on the toilet seat. In the standing position, seating detection is not performed, but it is recommended to sit on the toilet seat and urinate even for men to urinate stably without spilling urine outside the toilet. After the urination is performed from the time d to the time e, when the subject operates the remote control 34 that the urination is finished at the time f, the operation of the urination information measuring apparatus 101 is stopped at the time g. After the excretion is completed, the sanitary washing device 20 is operated by the remote controller 34 from the time h to the time k, and when the subject leaves the seat at the time l, the seating detection means incorporated in the sanitary washing device 20 separates from the subject's toilet seat. Detect the seat. When the subject performs a toilet cleaning operation to discharge excrement at time m, the toilet water supply operation of the toilet water supply means is performed from time n to time o.

  FIG. 6 is a timing chart when the user performs an operation different from the normal operation set by the applicant for the urination information measuring device in the present invention. This timing chart will be used to explain what kind of operation control is performed when the urination information measurement flow set by the applicant is deviated.

  A subject who performs urination information measurement enters the toilet and then performs a measurement start operation of the remote controller 34 while standing while at time a. At time b, the urination information measuring apparatus 101 is activated. When the user undresses and sits on the toilet seat at time c, the seating detection means incorporated in the sanitary washing device 20 detects the seating of the subject on the toilet seat. After urination is performed from time d to e, in normal use, the remote control 34 is operated to end urination at time e. In this case, an operation to instruct the start of operation of the sanitary washing means is performed. Yes. In that case, it is assumed that the sanitary washing means has been operated because urination has been completed, and the urine information measurement operation of the urine information measuring device 101 is stopped at time f, and the urine information at that time is calculated and disclosed. Yes.

  When the subject performs an operation to stop the operation of the sanitary washing means at time g and performs an operation to start urination information measurement at time h, the urination information measurement apparatus 101 is activated at time i. After the urination is performed from time j, the operation of instructing the start of the toilet cleaning operation of the toilet cleaning means is performed without operating the remote controller 34 that the urination has been completed at the time k. In that case, it is determined that the toilet flushing means has been operated since urination has been completed, and the urination information measurement operation of the urine information measurement apparatus 101 is stopped at time l, and the urination information at that time is calculated and disclosed. . As a specific control sequence, the linkage operation control means 25 is a time difference until the urination information measuring device 101 actually stops the urination information measurement operation with respect to the time k when the urination end operation is performed with the remote controller 34. The information transmission is delayed only by “time 1−time k”, and the toilet cleaning means is operated to prevent the toilet unit 100 and the urination information measuring unit 200 from interfering with each other.

  When the urination information measurement start operation is performed at time m, which is in the middle of time o from time l when the toilet bowl washing operation is performed, the urination information measurement apparatus 101 is activated after the toilet washing process is completed at time o. And waits for the subject's urination start time p. The control sequence described here is to prevent the toilet unit 100 and the urination information measuring unit 200 from interfering with each other by causing the linkage operation control means 25 to delay information transmission and operating the urination information measuring device.

  In addition, when delaying information transmission, informing the user that there is a time delay in switching the operation by voice or display, the user may feel suspicion that the operation will not switch immediately. Prevention is also possible. For example, when a toilet cleaning operation is performed during urination information measurement, toilet cleaning can be performed only after the pressure guiding path is switched to the toilet cleaning channel. In that case, if the announcement "The toilet cleaning operation has been accepted, please wait 5 seconds for the toilet cleaning to start", the user will not feel confused even if the toilet cleaning does not start immediately. Also, if urination information measurement operation is performed during measurement of sanitary washing device, it is necessary to stop water discharge, store the nozzle, and perform self-cleaning. Therefore, “We accepted the urination information measurement operation. If you announce "Please," the user will not feel embarrassed even if toilet flushing does not work immediately. As described above, when the operation is delayed, announcing how much delay is present allows the user to continue using the device without worrying about the failure of the device.

  Since the urination information measuring device 101 measures the urination information by sensing the water level of the stored water, the operation of the sanitary washing device and the operation of the toilet cleaning device and the operation of measuring the urine information that cause a change in the stored water level are performed. It is physically impossible to achieve both. In this case, if the control specification that prohibits the subject from performing an operation that interferes with each other is notified, the notified subject performs an incorrect operation even if it is his intention. If the subject is an elderly person, it may be a cause of panic. Accordingly, since the present invention controls the operation of each device in preference to the operation newly performed by the subject, the operation intention of the subject is respected without disclosing the prohibition of operation to the subject. .

  Here, since the urine information measuring device 101 measures urine information by the change in the water level of the stored water in the ball 2 of the Western-style toilet 1, the predetermined piping of the measuring unit 30 is filled with water at the time of measurement. It is necessary, but water is not put in the internal piping etc. in the logistics process. Accordingly, the Western-style toilet 1 is assembled to the sewage pipe 9 via the drain socket 10 at the time of installation at the installation site, and after connecting the measuring unit 30 for sensing the change in the stored water level, the pressure pipe 83 and the like are pressurized. Must be filled with water to transmit the water to the water pressure sensor 118. However, if water is simply passed through the piping, air will remain at various locations within the piping. In that case, air, which is a compressible fluid, is mixed in water that can be considered to be almost incompressible fluid, and the stored water level pressure pulsates, so that stable measurement is performed. In this case, it is necessary to expel air from the pressure conduit 83 so that the pressure is transmitted without the presence of air. Therefore, in this embodiment, a filter 119a is provided in the middle of the pressure conduit 83 as shown in FIG. The details will be described below.

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing one embodiment of the filter 119a. Using this embodiment, a method for manually removing air present in the pressure guiding piping will be described.
A mesh 119r is incorporated in the filter 119a to prevent foreign matters contained in the passing water from flowing into the measurement system. An opening / closing screw 119S that closes the opening facing upward is provided on the outer periphery of the filter 119a. When the opening / closing screw 119S is removed, since the filter 119a is in the lowermost layer of the pipe line, water is filled by gravity, and the air existing in the pipe flows out from the opening together with the water. When all the air that is present flows out, a fountain flow having a constant height is discharged from the opening without interruption, and it is possible to visually confirm that the air has flowed out.

  The mesh 119r is for preventing foreign matter from flowing into the measurement system, and is not essential when backwash water is supplied from the measurement system. In addition, with respect to the discharge from the opening of the fountain flow, it is an indispensable matter when performing air venting by this method, such as taking into account water reception during construction. The fact that air has escaped can be confirmed by visual observation of the fountain flow at a certain height, but since the flow is inherently scattered, the operator's experience and track record are necessary to determine whether the air has really escaped. It is essential.

  FIG. 8 is a table showing a series of operations of the respective functional units when the pressure guiding pipe is filled with water. A method for automatically removing the air existing in the pressure guiding pipe will be described using this embodiment.

  In step 1, a switching operation to the air vent mode is performed. When the construction is completed and water can be passed, the power is turned on and a predetermined operation is performed. Steps 2 to 4 are steps of raising and maintaining the accumulated water at the overflow water level by switching the water outlet by the water channel switching means 116 of the toilet water supply means 6 and performing rim cleaning → zet cleaning → rim cleaning. Next, in step 5, the on-off valves 119b, 119d, 119m, and 119n are opened and left for 20 seconds. By this process, the water 4 stored in the ball 106 and the water stored in the auxiliary tank 119k are filled into the pipe by gravity. In Step 6 to Step 7, the process of driving the pump 119l for 10 seconds and leaving it for 30 seconds is repeated 6 times. Step 8 is a step of closing the pressure guiding conduit, and the on-off valve 119b and the on-off valve 119n are closed. In steps 9 to 10, the process of driving the pump 119l for 15 seconds and leaving it for 5 seconds is repeated seven times. Thereafter, in step 11, the on-off valves 119d and 119m are closed to complete the air venting process.

  When water is guided to the piping path of the ball part water level measuring means according to the potential energy of the water and the standing time, and the water is guided to the piping path of the ball part water level measuring means, a pump as a water feeding means is combined. Since it is an automatic process, there is no variation in the construction personnel and water is not allowed to flow out. Since the filling by the gravity pump and the water supply energy of the pump are added, the air can be vented more efficiently in a short time. Note that the operation time and the number of repetitions of each step are appropriately adjusted by the system manufactured by the applicant, and may be appropriately changed when the pipe diameter or length changes.

  Since the air in the piping is automatically vented, there is no variation by the operator. Further, in addition to the possibility of wetting the floor due to overflow of water outside the apparatus, it is possible to prevent the possibility of water leakage due to forgetting to close the opening / closing screw 119S or loosening.

FIG. 9 is a block diagram of a second embodiment of the linkage operation control means different from the linkage operation control means 25 in the first embodiment of the present invention.
The linkage operation control means 45 in the second embodiment is arranged between the toilet unit 100 and the urination information measurement unit 200 with its circuit board separately.
Then, the user relays the signal from the remote controller 32 that instructs the operation of the toilet unit 100 and the signal from the remote controller 34 that instructs the operation of the urination information measuring unit 200, and controls the operation of the toilet unit 100. 15b and the toilet control unit 15a that controls the operation of the urination information measuring unit 200 are configured to exchange information for controlling these linked operations. Details will be described below.

  The linkage operation control means 45 receives the operation states of the toilet unit 100 and the urination information measurement unit 200 from the toilet control unit 15b and the measurement control unit 15a, respectively, and indicates the operation state in a binary format state signal of high / low. And a function of receiving operation signals from the remote controller 32 and the remote controller 34 and transmitting them to the toilet controller 15b and the measurement controller 15a, respectively.

Next, an example of the operation of the linkage operation control means 45 when using the urination information measuring apparatus 101 will be described below.
When the user operates the measurement start SW of the remote controller 34, a measurement start signal is sent to the linkage operation control means 45, and the linkage operation control means 45 confirms the stored operation state information of the toilet unit 100 and performs the urination information measurement operation. If it is confirmed that it is not in an interference state, it immediately transmits to the measurement control unit 15a. Upon receiving this signal, the measurement control unit 15a immediately operates the urination information measurement unit 200 and the like to start the urination information measurement operation.
At this time, the measurement control unit 15a sends an operation state signal, which is information related to the operation state of the urination information measurement operation, to the linkage operation control unit 45, and the linkage operation control unit 45 sets the transmitted operation state signal in advance. Based on the control rule, it is converted into a high / low binary state signal as described above and stored.

Next, the operation of the urination information measuring apparatus 101 when the remote controller 32 is operated while the urination information measurement operation is being executed will be described.
When the SW of the remote controller 32 is operated, an operation signal assigned to the SW is transmitted to the linkage operation control means 45. Upon receiving this signal, the linkage operation control means 45 performs the transmission operation to the toilet control unit 15b of the toilet unit 100 based on the control rule determined in advance according to the stored state signal in the binary format of high / low. decide.

In the example described here, it is assumed that a type of SW that causes an interference operation that affects the urination information measurement operation being performed and the operation of the toilet unit 100 to be performed is operated.
Then, as defined in this control rule, the linkage operation control means 45 suspends the transmission of the operation signal to the toilet control unit 15b, and the interfering urine information measurement operation is completed or is in an operation state, and the mutual operation status is determined. Transmit after waiting for interference to stop.

  Thus, in order to prevent interference between various operations, the above-described control rule is based on the operation control means 45 to the measurement control unit 15a or the toilet control unit for each operation state of the toilet unit 100 and the urination information measurement unit 200. The operation content of the operation signal to 15b is determined.

Even if the toilet cleaning means and the sanitary washing means constituting the urine information measuring device 101 are individually controlled by providing the linkage operation control means 45 in the urine information measuring device 101 in this way, It is possible to prevent the interference operation from occurring without significantly changing the control program for the toilet bowl cleaning means and the sanitary cleaning means.
Therefore, especially when the urination information measuring unit 200 is to be assembled into the urination information measuring apparatus 101 later on the toilet unit 100 that has already been completed as a product, the control program and control base of the toilet control unit 15b are significantly changed. Since it is not necessary to do this, it is a method that can easily make a product configuration as a urination information measuring device.

FIG. 10 shows an embodiment of a circuit configuration in which noise consideration is performed in the linkage operation control means 45. The linkage control means 45 is connected to the measurement control unit 15a and the toilet control unit 15b, but by using a photocoupler 15c for the information transmission, noise is prevented from being transmitted to the other. As a result, the occurrence of an interference operation between the measurement control unit 15a and the toilet control unit 15b is prevented.
