Description

  The present invention relates to a toilet apparatus provided with a toilet seat heater, a hot water heater for washing hot water or a warm air heater for drying the buttocks, and in particular, a toilet configured so that the set temperature of the heater is changed stepwise in a ring-type manner. Relates to the device.

  In a toilet facility provided with a toilet seat heater, a warm water heater for warm water washing, and the like, the toilet seat temperature and the hot water temperature are usually switched in stages.

  In order to switch the temperature, some remote controllers are provided with an operation piece for increasing the set temperature and an operation piece for lowering the set temperature. In this remote control, the set temperature increases stepwise each time an operation piece for increasing the set temperature is operated, and the set temperature decreases stepwise every time the operation piece for lowering the set temperature is operated. When the operation piece for increasing the temperature and the operation piece for decreasing the temperature are provided independently as described above, the operation method of the remote controller is simple and easy to understand. However, since the number of operation pieces increases, it is easy to increase the size of the remote control.

  For example, in paragraphs 0025 and 0030 of JP-A-2001-152511, the set temperature of the toilet seat temperature, the warm air heater for drying the buttock and the warm water heater for washing hot water is changed to an appropriate temperature → low temperature → off → optimum temperature every time the switch is operated. It is described to switch. With this method, the set temperature can be switched by simply pressing a single switch (operation piece), so the number of switches on the remote control can be reduced.

  In the main body control unit 10, the signal light is received by the light receiving unit 11, and the microcomputer 12 receives the warm water heater drive circuit 13, the toilet seat heater drive circuit 14, the hot air fan drive circuit 15 and the room heating drive circuit 16 based on the received light signal. In addition, other various devices (not shown) are driven, stopped, and driving conditions are changed.

  In FIG. 2, a switch 22 (22a, 22b, 22c...) For changing the set temperature provided in the remote controller 20 and other switches 23 (23a, 23b,... ......) is shown. As described above, the temperature of the hot water is set by the hot water temperature setting switch in the hidden area, and the temperature of the toilet seat is set by the toilet seat temperature setting switch in the hidden area. The room heating temperature is set by the room heating temperature switch in the hidden area. The hot air drying set temperature is switched by pressing a drying switch.

  When switching this temperature, each temperature setting switch is pressed, and if it is in 3 stages, medium temperature → low temperature → off → high temperature → medium temperature, and if it is 5 stages, level 3 (medium temperature) → The set temperature is switched in a ring-type manner as level 2 (medium / low temperature) → level 1 (low temperature) → level 0 (off) → level 5 (high temperature) → level 4 (medium / high temperature) → level 3. Note that the temperature may be switched in the order of medium temperature → high temperature → off → low temperature → medium temperature, as opposed to medium temperature → low temperature → off → high temperature → medium temperature. Depending on the heater, the setting of “off” is not provided, and the temperature is switched in the order of medium temperature → low temperature → high temperature → medium temperature or level 3 → level 2 → level 1 → level 5 → level 4 → level 3 May be performed. For example, in this embodiment, “OFF” is set for switching the toilet seat temperature and toilet lid temperature, and “OFF” is not set for switching the drying temperature. However, the temperature setting condition of each drive circuit 13-16 is not limited to this.

  When the set temperature switching switch 22 (22a, 22b, 22c,...) Is pressed once, a signal is input to the microcomputer 21. A signal is transmitted from the LED toward the main body control unit 10 by a signal from the microcomputer 21, and the set temperature is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 27.

  Based on this light reception signal, the set temperatures of the drive circuits 13 to 16 on the main body side are changed.

  As the toilet seat heater, an instantaneous heating type lamp heater capable of rapidly raising the toilet seat to a heating state or changing the toilet seat temperature rapidly is preferable. The hot water heater is not a hot water storage type, but an instantaneous heating type heater that rapidly heats the flowing water by bringing the ceramic heater into contact with the flowing water is suitable.

  Hot water cleaning toilet seats equipped with these instantaneous heating heaters are already widely available on the market.

  In the present embodiment, when each switch 22 as an operation piece for changing the set temperature is repeatedly operated or pressed for a short time, the set temperature of each heater is changed from the set temperature at the current stage to this value. The operation temperature and the long press time are switched to the set temperature of the previous stage in a short-circuit manner (that is, without going through the intermediate stage).

  Next, the control contents when the temperature setting switch 22 is operated will be described with reference to FIGS.

[Control of FIG. 3]
FIG. 3 is a flow in which the microcomputer 12 as the controller on the main body side changes the set temperature according to this operation mode when the temperature setting switch 22 of the remote controller 20 is operated.

  When one switch 22a (for example, a toilet seat temperature switch) of the remote controller 20 is pressed, a signal (temperature change signal) is transmitted from the LED 25 toward the main body each time the switch 22a is pressed. When this temperature change signal is input from the light receiving unit 11 to the main body side microcomputer 12, a timer is started and first, 1 is set in the memory N. Next, it waits until a predetermined time has elapsed.

  The predetermined time is preferably about 0.01 to 1 second, particularly about 0.5 seconds. If a signal due to the operation of the same switch 22a is not input again within this predetermined time, the set temperature is changed by one step after the predetermined time has elapsed, and then the timer is reset (steps 31, 32, 33, 37, 38).

  When the same switch 22a is pushed again before the predetermined time elapses, the timer is restarted, the set value of the memory N is increased by one, and the process waits until the predetermined time elapses. In this way, the process waits until a predetermined time has elapsed since the last switch operation, and the total number of operations during this time is stored in the memory N (steps 33 to 36). If a predetermined time has elapsed since the last switch operation, the process proceeds to step 37, where the set temperature is changed from the current stage to the set temperature N stages ahead regardless of the wheel number, and the timer is reset.

  As described above, when the temperature setting switch of the remote controller 20 is repeatedly operated in a short time such as double click and triple click, the microcomputer 12 on the main body side sets the set temperature from the present stage by the total number of operations regardless of the wheel number. Change to the set temperature of the previous stage in a short circuit. Thereby, for example, instead of changing the intermediate temperature to the high temperature through two stages of intermediate temperature → low temperature → high temperature, the set temperature can be switched from the intermediate temperature to the high temperature.

[Control of FIG. 4]
FIG. 4 is a flow in which when the temperature setting switch 22 of the remote controller 20 is operated, the microcomputer 21 as the controller of the remote controller 20 transmits a signal for changing the set temperature according to this operation mode.

  When one switch 22a (for example, a toilet seat temperature switch) of the remote controller 20 is pressed, a timer is started and first, 1 is set in the memory N. Next, it waits until a predetermined time has elapsed.

  The preferred length of this predetermined time is the same as in FIG. If the same switch 22a is not pressed again within this predetermined time, a signal for changing the set temperature by one step is transmitted after the predetermined time has elapsed, and then the timer is reset (steps 41, 42, 43, 47, 48).

  When the same switch 22a is pushed again before the predetermined time elapses, the timer is restarted, the set value of the memory N is increased by one, and the process waits until the predetermined time elapses. In this way, the system waits until a predetermined time elapses from the last switch operation, and stores the total number of operations during this period in the memory N (steps 43 to 46). If a predetermined time has elapsed since the last switch operation, the process proceeds to step 47, where a signal for changing the set temperature from the current stage to the set temperature of the N stage ahead is transmitted regardless of the wheel number, and the timer is reset.

  When the signal from the remote controller 20 is input to the microcomputer 12 on the main body side, the microcomputer 12 changes the set temperature of the heater corresponding to the switch 22a from the current stage to the set temperature of the N stage ahead regardless of the wheel number. To do.

  As described above, when the temperature setting switch of the remote controller 20 is repeatedly operated in a short time, the set temperature of the heater on the main body side is short-circuited from the current stage to the set temperature of the previous stage by the total number of operations.

[Flow of FIG. 5]
FIG. 5 shows that when one switch 22a (for example, hot water temperature setting switch) of the remote controller 20 is pressed for a long time, the set temperature is changed from the current level to the set temperature of the previous level by the length of the long press time. It is what you do.

  In this flow, when the switch 22a is pressed, the timer T is started and waits until the finger is released from the switch 22a (steps 51 to 53).

  When the finger is released from the switch 22a, the time T during which the switch 22a was pressed is divided by the reference time To to determine the nearest integer N equal to or greater than the value of T / To (step 54). In addition, as To, 0.5 to 1 second, especially about 0.5 second are suitable. For example, when To is set to 0.5 seconds, for example, when T is 1 second, T / To = 2, so N = 2 is set. For example, when T is 1.3 seconds, T / To = 2.6, and since the integer larger than that and closest to 3 is 3, N = 3 is set. It should be noted that the relationship between the switch pressing time and the set temperature change step number is not limited to this.

  Next, the remote controller 20 resets the timer T after transmitting a signal for changing the set temperature from the current stage to the set temperature N stages ahead regardless of the wheel number (steps 55 and 56).

  A signal from the remote controller 20 is input to the microcomputer 12 on the main body side, and the microcomputer 12 changes the set temperature of the heater corresponding to the switch 22a from the current stage to the set temperature of the N stage ahead regardless of the wheel number.

  Thereby, it is possible to switch the set temperature without going through an intermediate stage up to a stage proportional to the long press time of the switch 22a.

  The flow in FIG. 5 is executed by the microcomputer 21 of the remote controller 20, but the same control may be performed by the microcomputer 12 on the main body side. However, in this case, if the switch 22a is pressed for a long time, the LED will continue to emit light while the switch 22a is being pressed, and the battery of the remote controller 20 will be consumed quickly. It is preferable to perform long press signal processing on the remote control 20 side.

  As described above, the flow of FIGS. 3 to 5 has been described for the case where the switch 22a is pressed. However, it is obvious that the same control may be performed when another switch 22 is pressed.

  The above embodiment is an example of the present invention, and the present invention may be other than the above.

  According to the present invention, an operation piece for increasing the set temperature and an operation piece for lowering the set temperature are provided on the remote controller, and each time the operation piece for increasing the set temperature is operated, The set temperature rises step by step for the long press time, and the set temperature decreases step by step each time the operation piece for lowering the set temperature is operated, or the time for which the operation piece is held down. The present invention can also be applied to a toilet device. In this case, for example, when the operation piece for increasing the set temperature is operated a plurality of times within a predetermined time or when the operation piece is pressed for a long time, the heater set temperature is changed from the current set temperature to the total number of operations or When the operation piece for lowering the set temperature is short-circuited to the set temperature of the previous stage by the long press time, and the control piece is operated multiple times within a predetermined time, or when it is pressed for a long time, the heater set temperature Is lowered in a short-circuit manner from the set temperature of the current stage to the set temperature of the previous stage by the total number of operations or the long pressing time. As a result, the heater set temperature can be quickly raised or lowered to the target set temperature in accordance with the number of operations of these operation pieces or the long press time.
