According to this, it is assumed that water can be poured and stored in the bathtub immediately after the occurrence of the earthquake, and domestic water for the time being can be secured (paragraph 0048 of Patent Document 1).
JP 2006-22970 A

  The bathtub water storage system is a system that operates a bath hot water supply device when an earthquake shake is directly detected by a sensor, and operates after being shaken by an earthquake. For this reason, there is a possibility that water may be cut off or a power failure may occur in the middle of water injection into the bathtub by the bath hot water supply device, and the bath water supply device may not operate and water cannot be stored in the bathtub.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic water filling system in a disaster in which water is poured into a bathtub at an appropriate time before damage such as water outage or power outage occurs due to a disaster such as an earthquake. And

(1) The disaster automatic water filling system according to the present invention is:
A bathtub,
Water injection means for filling the bathtub with water or water;
A receiving means for receiving an emergency warning broadcast which is information such as a disaster notice,
When the receiving means receives an emergency warning broadcast, the water filling means is provided with a control means for executing hot water filling or water filling of the bathtub (Claim 1).

Thereby, when an emergency warning broadcast is broadcasted, the control means causes the water injection means to perform hot water filling or water filling to the bathtub so as to store hot water or water in the bathtub.
Here, the emergency warning broadcast is information such as a disaster notice broadcasted from a broadcasting station. This emergency warning broadcast is broadcast at an appropriate time before a disaster such as an earthquake occurs, causing damage such as water outage or power outage.
Therefore, when an emergency warning broadcast is received, hot water filling or water filling is performed on the bathtub, so that water can be poured into the bathtub at an appropriate time before the occurrence of a water outage or power outage due to a disaster such as an earthquake. When a disaster such as an earthquake occurs, emergency water can be reliably secured in the bathtub. In addition, since the emergency warning broadcast is broadcast at an appropriate time before the occurrence of a disaster such as water outage or power outage due to the occurrence of a disaster such as an earthquake, the bath is not unnecessarily flooded or flooded.

(2) The receiving means includes a code detection unit that analyzes the received emergency alert broadcast signal and detects whether it is a test broadcast of the emergency alert broadcast,
The control means may cause the water pouring means to perform hot water filling or water filling to the bathtub as a test operation when the receiving means receives a test broadcast of an emergency warning broadcast (claim 2).

The broadcasting station regularly conducts a test broadcast of an emergency warning broadcast once a month. For example, NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) broadcasts this test broadcast from 11:59 am on the first day of every month.
Therefore, when the code detection unit detects an emergency warning broadcast test broadcast, that is, when the receiving means receives an emergency warning broadcast test broadcast, the water injection means is operated as a test operation to fill the bathtub. Or since water filling is performed, it can be regularly confirmed once a month whether this system operates normally by this.
If a test broadcast of emergency warning broadcast by NHK is received, the test operation of this system can be confirmed on the fixed day of the first day of every month, so the user misidentifies the test operation as a malfunction of this system. Can also be avoided.

(3) The disaster automatic water filling system according to the present invention is
A bathtub,
A bath hot water supply device having an automatic hot water filling function to fill the bathtub with water or water;
A remote control having a function of performing remote operation for controlling the operation of the bath water heater and receiving television broadcast or radio broadcast;
The remote controller is characterized by causing the bath hot water supply device to perform hot water filling or water filling when receiving an emergency warning broadcast which is information such as a disaster notice from a received television broadcast or radio broadcast. (Claim 3).

As a result, when an emergency warning broadcast is broadcast, the hot water supply device is operated by an operation command from the remote controller so that hot water or water is stored in the bathtub.
The emergency warning broadcast is information such as a disaster notice as described in (1) above. Therefore, it is possible to inject water into the bathtub using a bath water heater at an appropriate time before the occurrence of a disaster such as a water outage or power outage due to an earthquake or other disaster, and to ensure emergency water in the bathtub in the event of an earthquake or other disaster it can.
Moreover, since the operation of the bath water heater is executed by an operation command from the remote controller, simply replacing the remote controller of the currently used bath water heater system (the bath water heater that can be remotely operated by the remote controller) with the remote controller, The automatic water filling system at the time of disaster can be realized easily.
The remote controller may have the functions of the code detection unit and the control unit as described in (2) above, and may instruct execution of a test operation when receiving an emergency warning broadcast test broadcast.

(1) According to the first aspect of the invention, when an emergency warning broadcast, which is information such as a disaster notice, is broadcast, hot water filling or water filling is performed at this point in time. Compared to the case where water is injected into the bathtub after detecting shaking, emergency water can be stored in the bathtub at an appropriate time before the occurrence of an earthquake and a water outage or power outage. Therefore, when the earthquake occurs and the water is cut off or the power is cut off, emergency water for the time being can be ensured. Moreover, it is not unnecessarily stored in the bathtub.
(2) According to the invention of claim 2, in addition to the effect of claim 1, whether or not the system operates normally by receiving a test broadcast of an emergency warning broadcast and executing a test operation. It can be confirmed, and the user can have a sense of security for securing emergency water during a disaster, and can also obtain reliability for the system.
(3) According to the invention of claim 3, in addition to the effect of claim 1, by installing the remote control, it is possible to easily realize the automatic water filling system at the time of disaster by effectively utilizing the current hot water supply system. .

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the automatic water filling system at the time of a disaster by this Embodiment is the bathtub 1 provided with the automatic drain plug 11, the hot water supply apparatus 2 (water injection means) which has the hot water filling function to the bathtub 1, and bath hot water supply The remote control 3 with a television function (reception means, control means) that enables remote control of the apparatus 2 and the ability to watch a television broadcast is provided, and the remote control 3 with a television function receives an emergency warning broadcast from the broadcast station 4 The bath hot water supply device 2 is operated to fill the bathtub 1 with water.

  Here, emergency warning system (EWS) means (1) large-scale earthquake warning declaration, (2) tsunami warning, and (3) prefectural governor broadcast request. This is a data broadcast broadcast from a broadcasting station 4 such as a radio station. The emergency warning broadcast signal is composed of a start signal, emergency disaster information, and an end signal. The start signal and the end signal are modulated by an audible signal of 1024 Hz (bit “1”) and 640 Hz (bit “0”). It is an FSX (frequency shift keying) code signal. Therefore, it is possible to recognize whether or not there is an emergency warning broadcast by analyzing whether or not the code signal is included in the broadcast wave of the television station or radio station. Each broadcast station 4 regularly broadcasts a test broadcast of an emergency warning broadcast once a month, and the end signal is transmitted in this test broadcast. Therefore, the actual emergency alert broadcast and the test broadcast can be identified by analyzing the code signal. By the way, NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) conducts a test broadcast of an emergency warning broadcast on the first day of every month.

Next, the structure of each part of this automatic water filling system at the time of a disaster is demonstrated.
Referring to FIG. 1, the bath water heater 2 includes a hot water supply heat source unit 5, a bath reheating heat source unit 6, and a control unit 7 for controlling them.
The hot water supply heat source section 5 has a heat exchanger 52 provided in the hot water supply channel 51 and a burner 53 for heating the heat exchanger 52, and is supplied to the water supply pipe 54 of the hot water supply channel 51 during the hot water supply operation. The water is heated by the heat exchanger 52 to obtain hot water, and this hot water is discharged from a hot water outlet such as a shower head through the hot water supply pipe 55 of the hot water supply channel 51. The heat source section 6 for bath reheating has a heat exchanger 62 provided in a circulating water channel 61 communicating with the bathtub 1 and a burner 63 for heating the heat exchanger 62. The bath water is heated by the heat exchanger 62 while being circulated by a pump 64 provided in the circulation water channel 61.

  A bath drop pipe 21 branched from the hot water supply pipe 55 is connected to the circulation water channel 61, and the bath drop pipe 21 is controlled to be opened and closed by a flow rate counter 22 that measures the amount of pouring hot water and the control unit 7. A bath drop valve 23 and a check valve 24 for preventing a back flow from the circulation water channel 61 to the bath drop pipe 21 are provided. During hot water filling operation, the bath drop valve 23 is opened and hot water supplied to the hot water supply pipe 55 of the hot water supply heat source 5 is poured into the bathtub 1 through the bath drop pipe 21 and the circulation channel 61. When the pouring amount to the bathtub 1 measured by the flow rate counter 22 coincides with the set amount of hot water filling, the bath dropping valve 23 is closed and pouring to the bathtub 1 is terminated. In addition, at the time of the water filling operation to the bathtub 1, the bath drop valve 23 is opened without burning the burner 53.

  The control unit 7 is communicatively connected to the remote controller 3 with a television function, and controls the operation of the hot water supply heat source 5 and the bath heating heat source 6 in response to a command signal from the remote controller 3 with a television function. The hot water supply, reheating, and hot water filling are performed, and when the emergency warning broadcast is broadcast, the bathtub 1 is filled with water.

  The bathtub 1 is provided with an automatic drain plug 11 at a drain outlet provided at the bottom. The automatic drain plug 11 is electrically connected to the control unit 7 of the bath water heater 2 and is controlled to be opened and closed by the control unit 7 in response to a command signal from the remote controller 3 with a TV function. The automatic drain plug 11 is provided with a position sensor (not shown) for detecting the open / closed state, and a detection signal of this position sensor is input to the control unit 7.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the remote controller 3 with a TV function includes a remote control operation switch 31, a TV operation switch 32, a display unit 33 such as a liquid crystal panel, a speaker 34, an image processing unit 35, an audio processing unit 36, and a remote control function. Unit 8 (control means), television function unit 9 (reception means), and the like.

  The remote control function unit 8 includes a communication circuit unit 81 that performs communication with the bath water heater 2 and a remote control unit 82 that performs control for remote operation of the bath water heater 2. Then, the remote controller control unit 82 displays the setting information of the bath water heater 2 on the display unit 33 by the processing in the image processing unit 35 in accordance with the operation of the remote control operation switch 31 and the processing in the communication circuit unit 81. Communicating with the control unit 7 of the bath hot water supply apparatus 2 to perform control for remotely operating the bath hot water supply apparatus 2. The setting information to be displayed on the display unit 33 includes a hot water supply temperature during a hot water supply operation, a reheating temperature during a reheating operation, a hot water amount and a hot water temperature during a hot water operation, and an emergency warning broadcast. This includes the amount of water stored during water filling operation. In addition, the remote control unit 82 performs control to output the operation sound of the switch 31, the guidance sound, and the like from the speaker 34 by the processing in the sound processing unit 36. Furthermore, when an operation signal indicating that the emergency warning broadcast has been received from the TV function unit 9 is input, the remote control unit 82 uses the bath water heater 2 to fill the bathtub 1 with water through the communication circuit unit 81. Is output to the control unit 7 of the bath water heater 2.

  The TV function unit 9 is a tuner 91 that is tuned to the TV broadcast frequency of each broadcasting station 4, and a code detection unit 92 that detects and analyzes a code signal indicating an emergency alert broadcast determined by the emergency alert broadcast system in the TV broadcast signal. And a TV control unit 93 that performs control for TV broadcast viewing and the like. When the television control unit 93 selects a desired broadcast station 4 using the channel switch among the television operation switches 32, the tuner 91 tunes to the broadcast frequency of the target broadcast station 4 and broadcasts the television station 4. In addition to controlling to receive the signal, the television image included in the television broadcast signal is displayed on the display unit 33 by the processing in the image processing unit 35, and the television sound included in the television broadcast signal is processed in the audio processing unit 36. Control is performed to output from the speaker 34. In addition, when the code detection unit 92 detects a code signal indicating emergency alert broadcasting, the television control unit 93 outputs a detection signal indicating that to the remote control unit 82. The code detection unit 92 analyzes the detected emergency alert broadcast signal to distinguish between the actual emergency alert broadcast and the emergency alert broadcast test broadcast, and outputs a signal to the television control unit 93. Also, according to the input signal from the code detection unit 92, it is distinguished whether it is a real emergency alert broadcast or an emergency alert broadcast test broadcast, and a signal is output to the remote controller control unit 82.

Next, the operation when an emergency warning broadcast is broadcast from the broadcast station 4 will be described with reference to FIG.
Since the remote controller 3 with a TV function is supplied with power from the bath water heater 2, the TV function unit 9 always receives a predetermined TV broadcast signal by the tuner 91 (S1), and the code detection unit 92 receives the TV broadcast. It is always detected whether or not the signal includes a code signal for emergency alert broadcasting, that is, whether or not an emergency alert broadcast is broadcast from the broadcasting station 4 (S2).

  When the code detection unit 92 detects the code signal of the emergency warning broadcast, the code detection unit 92 outputs the detection signal to the television control unit 93, and the television control unit 93 sends an operation signal indicating that the emergency warning broadcast has been broadcast to the remote control function unit. 8 to the remote control unit 82. Then, the remote controller control unit 82 transmits an automatic water injection command signal for filling the bathtub 1 with water to the control unit 7 of the bath water heater 2 via the communication circuit unit 81 (S3). At this time, the television control unit 93 or the remote control unit 82 controls the image processing unit 35 and the audio processing unit 36 to notify the display unit 33 and the speaker 34 that the bathtub 1 is filled with the emergency alert broadcast. You may do it.

  The automatic water injection command signal includes information on the water injection command to the bathtub 1 and the amount of stored water. The water injection command is a command for water filling the bathtub 1 without burning the burner 53. The amount of stored water is information on the amount of water filled into the bathtub 1. And as this water storage amount, Preferably it is set as the maximum volume of the bathtub 1 (water storage amount of 1100% of bathtubs). However, since the bathtub 1 is constructed in various sizes depending on the size of the bathroom, the maximum volume of the constructed bathtub 1 is rarely set in advance on the remote controller 3 with a TV function, etc. In consideration of the fact that the amount of water filling at the time of filling operation appropriately set in the remote controller 3 with the function is rarely set to 100% of the volume of the bathtub 1, the amount of water stored in this automatic water injection command signal is, for example, It may be set to double the amount of hot water set by the user. Thereby, when water is cut off due to an earthquake or the like, a larger amount of emergency water can be reliably secured.

Then, in the bath water heater 2, when the control unit 7 receives the automatic water injection command signal from the remote controller 3 with the television function (S11), it performs the following operation control.
First, the open / close state of the automatic drain plug 11 in the bathtub 1 is detected (S12). If the automatic drain plug 11 is opened, it is closed (S13). When the automatic drain plug 11 is closed, the closed state is maintained. The open / close state of the automatic drain plug 11 is detected based on a detection signal from a position sensor provided in the automatic drain plug 11.

Next, the bath drop valve 23 is driven and controlled to open, and the water supplied to the hot water supply pipe 55 is poured into the bath drop pipe 21 and led to the circulation water channel 61 to inject water from the circulation water channel 61 into the bathtub 1. Start (S14). At this time, the burner 53 is not burned. At this time, when the bath water heater 2 is in the hot water supply operation, the combustion of the burner 53 is stopped to give priority to the water pouring operation to the bathtub 1 (such as opening the bath drop valve 23).
When water injection into the bathtub 1 is started, the amount of water in the bath dropping pipe 21 measured by the flow rate counter 22, that is, the amount of water injected into the bathtub 1 is input to the control unit 7, and the integrated value of this water injection amount is the television. When the amount of stored water transmitted from the function-equipped remote control 3 coincides, the bath drop valve 23 is closed to terminate the water injection into the bathtub 1 (S15, S16).
As described above, the emergency water is stored in the bathtub 1.

  Thus, according to the disaster automatic water filling system of the present embodiment, when the emergency warning broadcast that is information such as a disaster notice is broadcasted from the broadcasting station 4, the remote control 3 with a TV function transmits the emergency warning broadcast. At this time, the bath water heater 2 is operated to inject water into the bathtub 1. Therefore, compared to the prior art (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-22970) that performs water injection into the bathtub 1 after detecting the shaking of the earthquake, it is used at an appropriate time before a water break or power failure occurs due to the earthquake. The emergency hot water can be stored in the bathtub 1 by automatically operating the bath hot water supply device 2 instead of the person's instruction. As a result, when an earthquake occurs and a water outage or power outage occurs, emergency water for the time being can be ensured.

In addition, when the automatic drain plug 11 of the bathtub 1 is in the closed state by the above-described operation (when “Yes” is determined in S12), the closed state is maintained and water injection into the bathtub 1 is started (the process proceeds from S12 to S14). ), The automatic drain plug 11 may be once opened and then closed after a predetermined time has elapsed, and water injection may be started. Thereby, when the remaining hot water has accumulated in the bathtub 1, after draining this remaining hot water, new water can be stored in the bathtub 1, and clean water can be utilized as emergency water for life.
Further, when the automatic drain plug 11 of the bathtub 1 is in the closed state by the above operation (when “Yes” is determined in S12), this water level is provided when the water level sensor for detecting the water level in the bathtub 1 is provided in the circulation channel 61 or the like. Based on the detection signal of the sensor, it is determined whether or not the remaining hot water is accumulated in the bathtub 1, and when it is determined that the remaining hot water is not accumulated, the automatic drain plug 11 is kept closed and water injection is started. When it is determined that the remaining hot water has accumulated, the automatic drain plug 11 is opened to drain the remaining hot water, and then the automatic drain plug 11 is closed again to start pouring water into the bathtub 1. Also good.

Next, a case where a test operation is performed will be described.
As described above, each broadcasting station 4 regularly broadcasts a test broadcast of an emergency warning broadcast once a month, and receives the test broadcast to perform a test operation. That is, in the emergency alert broadcast test broadcast, the end signal in the actual emergency alert broadcast signal is transmitted.
Then, the code detection unit 92 in the remote controller with TV function 3 determines whether the received emergency alert broadcast code signal includes a start signal and an end signal (in the case of a real emergency alert broadcast) or only an end signal (emergency alert). (Broadcast test broadcast) is analyzed, and when the emergency alert broadcast signal has no start signal and only a code signal is received, a test detection signal indicating that there is an emergency alert broadcast test broadcast is output to the television controller 93 To do. Then, the television control unit 93 outputs a test operation signal indicating that the emergency alert broadcast test broadcast has been broadcast to the remote control unit 82 of the remote control function unit 8, and the control unit 7 of the bath water heater 2 through the communication circuit unit 81. On the other hand, a test automatic water injection command signal for filling the bathtub 1 as a test operation is transmitted. When the control unit 7 of the bath hot water supply apparatus 2 receives this test automatic water injection command signal, the bath hot water supply apparatus 2 is actuated to perform water filling to the bathtub 1 in the same manner as in the above-described actual operation (FIG. 3). S11 to S16). As described above, water is stored in the bathtub 1 by the test operation.

  In the case of this test operation, the remote control unit 82 has injected water into the bathtub 1 to save water as the water storage amount included in the test automatic water injection command signal transmitted to the control unit 7 of the bath water heater 2. You may make it set to the small quantity of the grade (for example, about 1/10 of the amount of hot water filling at the time of hot water filling operation, or about 1/20 of the volume of the bathtub 1). Alternatively, the water injection may be stopped when the flow rate counter 22 confirms the water injection.

Since the prior art bathtub water storage system (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-22970) is a system that is provided with a sensor and is operated after being shaken by an earthquake, it is confirmed whether or not this prior art system operates normally. It is necessary to actually shake the system. However, since the detector is fixedly installed due to the property of detecting earthquake shaking, it is impossible to actually confirm the operation of the system after construction.
On the other hand, the automatic water filling system at the time of disaster according to the present embodiment is a system for operating the bath water heater 2 by acquiring information such as a disaster warning called emergency warning broadcast broadcast from the broadcasting station 4. As described above, the test operation can be performed even after the construction of the automatic water filling system at the time of the disaster by utilizing the test broadcast of the emergency warning broadcast. Therefore, unlike the conventional technology, this automatic water filling system at the time of disaster can be used to check whether the system operates normally by executing a test operation, and it is safe for the user to secure water during a disaster. A feeling can be obtained and the reliability of the system can be improved.

  When executing the test operation, the television control unit 93 or the remote control unit 82 may notify the display unit 33 or the speaker 34 that a water filling test is to be performed. The notification at this time may be continued until, for example, the switch operation of the remote controller 3 with the television function is performed next time. Thereby, the user can be informed that the water-filled test operation is executed, and it can be prevented that the bath water heater 2 is erroneously recognized as malfunctioning or malfunctioning.

  Further, it may be possible to set whether or not to perform the test operation by operating a switch of the remote controller 3 with a TV function. In this case, when the test function reservation setting is set in the remote control 3 with the TV function, the tuner 91 may tune, for example, the NHK broadcast frequency while not watching the TV. The schedule of emergency alert broadcast test broadcasts varies depending on the broadcasting station 4 at each private broadcasting station, but NHK emergency alert broadcast test broadcasts are broadcast from 11:59 am on the first day of every month in every region. This is because it is possible to reliably check whether or not the system operates normally.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and for example, the following modifications can be made as appropriate.
(1) Although the said automatic water filling system at the time of a disaster sets it as the structure filled with water to the bathtub 1 at the time of receiving an emergency warning broadcast, it is good also as a structure filled with hot water by burning the burner 53 in the bath hot water supply apparatus 2.
(2) The automatic water filling system at the time of disaster uses the remote control 3 with a TV function, but receives an emergency warning broadcast from a radio broadcast using a remote control with a radio function (may have a TV function) and takes a bath. A water filling command or a hot water filling command may be issued to the hot water supply device 2.
(3) When the bath hot water supply device 2 receives an emergency warning broadcast that is information such as a disaster warning, etc. (the TV function unit 9 of the remote controller 3 with the TV function) and the receiving means receives the emergency warning broadcast Control means (remote control function part 8 of the remote control 3 with the television function) for controlling the hot water filling or the water filling to the bathtub 1 by operating the bath water heater 2 may be provided.

(4) Moreover, the bathtub 1 may not be provided with the automatic drain plug 11 but may be provided with a manual drain plug connected by a chain or the like. In this case, in the operation shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3, steps (S12 and S13) such as detection of the state of the automatic drain plug 11 are omitted, and an emergency warning broadcast (including a test broadcast) is received (“Yes in S2”). The TV control unit 93 or the remote control unit 82 controls the audio processing unit 36 and supplies water to the bathtub 1 by emergency alert broadcasting at an arbitrary time from the “determination” to the start of water injection by the bath water heater 2 (S14). The speaker 34 is informed of the tension (it may include the effect of prompting the user to close the drain plug). Then, the water injection start (S14) to the bathtub 1 may be executed after a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the notification, or may be executed after the user performs a switch operation on the remote controller 3 with a TV function. . By this notification, the user is urged to close the drain plug knowing that water will be poured into the bathtub 1, so that the drain plug can be prevented from being left in the open state and being poured. The notification may be stopped by a switch operation on the remote controller 3 with a TV function, the start of water injection, or after a predetermined time has elapsed. Further, the notification may be performed with a kitchen remote controller or the like.

(5) The determination (S15) of the water storage amount detection shown in FIG. 3 may be performed by a water level sensor, a timer or the like instead of the flow rate counter 22.
(6) The bath hot water supply device 2 has the bath reheating heat source unit 6 and has a bath replenishing function. In this case, a hot water storage type may be used.
(7) The bath water heater 2 is not limited to one using gas fuel, and may use various heating sources such as electricity and solar heat.
