Description

  The present invention relates to a bathroom, and more particularly to a bathroom in which the temperature in the bathroom can be easily visually recognized from outside the bathroom and the lighting in the bathroom can be arbitrarily changed.

  Inside the winter house, the living room is usually heated by heating, but the bathroom is kept cold, so the temperature difference between the living room and the bathroom is large, so when undressing before entering the bathroom, etc. In addition, a so-called heat shock phenomenon (effect of sudden temperature change on the body) occurs, and there is a risk of harming health. Conventionally, a bathroom heating device shown in Patent Document 1 is attached, and 30 minutes of bathing. Precautions are taken such as heating the bathroom in the front and taking a bath after the bathroom has warmed up.

JP-A-2003-106546

  However, in the conventional bathroom heating device, there is no other way to confirm whether the bathroom is warm or not by actually entering the bathroom and checking it. In addition, when it is troublesome to go to the bathroom to experience it, there is an inconvenience that it is necessary to make a prediction that it will soon be warm and head for bathing.

  However, even in the same winter, the temperature varies depending on the day, so the time when the bathroom is suitable for bathing varies with heating, and there is a strong demand for the appearance of a bathroom that objectively shows the temperature in the bathroom. It had been.

  As a means for solving this problem, for example, a means for providing a remote control on the wall surface of a washroom adjacent to the bathroom and displaying the temperature in the bathroom can be considered, but the temperature display part of the remote control is relatively Small, after all, you have to go to the bathroom and check the temperature display, which is not a fundamental solution.

  The present invention has been made in view of the present situation, and the object of the present invention is to allow the temperature in the bathroom to be easily seen even from outside the bathroom, and to arbitrarily change the lighting in the bathroom. It is intended to provide a bathroom that can be.

In order to achieve the above object, in the bathroom according to claim 1, a bathroom having a light projecting portion on a door or a wall, a lighting device that illuminates the inside of the bathroom, and a temperature at which the temperature in the bathroom is detected. And the lighting device is configured by combining LEDs that emit three primary colors of red, blue, and green. These LEDs are lit in the bathroom according to the temperature in the bathroom detected by the temperature detection sensor. It is characterized by being able to synthesize and color light.

Moreover, in invention of Claim 2, the bathroom of Claim 1 is made into a technical premise, A dimming controller is connected to the said illuminating device, This dimming controller is the said dimming controller. The light emission amount can be adjusted.

  In the invention according to claim 1, since it is configured as described above, the temperature in the bathroom is discriminated without going to the bathroom due to the difference in emission color by visually observing the illumination color from outside the bathroom. Can eliminate the risk of heat shock and maintain health.

  In addition, in the invention described in claim 2, since indirect lighting in the bathroom, that is, color tone and brightness can be combined and set in a desired state at the time of bathing, a relaxing effect can be easily produced. be able to.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

  1 is a perspective explanatory view showing a schematic configuration of a bathroom according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the bathroom, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing an example of a dimming controller. is there.

  As shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, a bathroom 1 having a transparent door 2, a lighting device 3 that illuminates the inside of the bathroom 1, and a temperature detection sensor 4 that detects the temperature in the bathroom 1, , And is configured. The basic configuration of the bathroom 1 is the same as that of various publicly known bathrooms, and a detailed description thereof is omitted here. In the present invention, a translucent door is used instead of the transparent door 2, or a light projecting portion such as a transparent or translucent window is used on the wall instead of the door. can do.

The lighting device 3 is configured by combining LEDs that emit three primary colors of red, blue, and green, and these LEDs synthesize illumination light in the bathroom 1 according to the temperature in the bathroom detected by the temperature detection sensor 4. -It is configured to be toned. The temperature display is, for example, 6 levels of 15 degrees Celsius or less, 15 degrees to 20 degrees, 20 degrees to 25 degrees, 25 degrees to 30 degrees, 30 degrees to 35 degrees, 35 degrees or more, for each stage. It can be configured to be color coded. For example, it can be configured to start from blue at 15 ° C. or lower and to be red at 35 ° C. or higher. Further, the temperature display may be displayed by color, pattern display, and / or display on the controller.

A known temperature detection sensor can be used as the temperature detection sensor 4. In this embodiment, the lighting device 3 is configured as a device that displays the temperature and illuminates the inside of the normal bathroom 1, but in the present invention, the temperature in the bathroom 1 is displayed. It may be configured as a lighting device only, and normal lighting in the bathroom 1 may be provided separately so that necessary lighting can be obtained.

  The lighting device 3 is connected to a dimming controller 5 shown in FIG. 3, and the dimming controller 5 determines the amount of light emitted from each LED by a red button, a blue button, By pressing the green button at the required stage and the required number of seconds, it is possible to produce a desired environment in the bathroom, for example, the ceiling with indirect illumination of the night sky atmosphere. In the illustrated embodiment, the case where the dimming controller 5 is provided in the heating / ventilation / drying controller has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the dimming controller is not limited to this. It can be provided alone and can be configured to allow fine adjustment. In FIG. 1, the dimming controller 5 is installed on the inner wall near the door 2 of the bathroom 1, and in FIG. 2, it is installed on the wall near the bathtub 7. However, it may be installed on the wall surface of the washroom adjacent to the bathroom, or may be a weak wireless system. A controller (not shown) for performing these controls is preferably provided on the ceiling.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment example, detection of the bathroom temperature before bathing when heating is operated has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the bathroom dryer is operated. It may be controlled based on the temperature detection in the bathroom. Further, the dimming controller 5 may be provided in the heating / ventilation / drying controller so that the lighting device 3 is interlocked with the heating switch or the drying switch.

It is a perspective explanatory view showing a schematic configuration of a bathroom according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the same bathroom. It is explanatory drawing which shows an example of a light control controller.
