<Structure of hand-washer>
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The embodiment is an example of the present invention, and the configuration of the present invention is not limited to the following example.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a hand washing machine 10 according to the present embodiment. Moreover, FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, and FIG. 2C are the top views, front views, and AA sectional drawings which show an example of the hand-washing machine 10 which concerns on this embodiment. The hand-washing machine 10 has a hand-washing faucet (also called “first faucet”) 101 that discharges washing water for hand-washing (also called “hand-washing water”) and a hand in front of the hand-washing faucet 101. For example, a hand detection sensor 102 that detects infrared rays, a bowl portion (also simply referred to as a “bowl”) 103 that receives water, a drain port 104, an eye plate 105, a drain pipe 106, and a bowl portion A bowl faucet 107 that discharges washing water for washing 103 and a human sensor 108 that detects the presence of a person in front of the hand-washing machine 10 using, for example, infrared rays. In addition, the hand-washing machine 10 may further have a detergent holding part that discharges the detergent automatically or manually. Moreover, the hand-washing machine 10 may have a knob or lever for discharging or stopping the water faucet 101 for hand-washing instead of the hand detection sensor 102. In the present embodiment, the user is positioned with respect to the hand-washing device 10 and the direction in which the hand-washing water is discharged from the hand-washing faucet 101 is referred to as “front”, and the opposite direction is referred to as “back”.

  The faucet for hand-washing 101 is a faucet provided at the outlet of a water pipe for tap water or well water. A hand detection sensor 102 is provided around the hand-washing faucet 101. The hand detection sensor 102 is, for example, an infrared sensor. When the hand detection sensor 102 detects that the user holds his / her hand in front of the water faucet 101 for hand washing, the hand detection sensor 102 is illustrated as an electromagnetic valve, an electric valve, or the like. The non-electrically driven valve is driven, and the hand-washing faucet 101 discharges hand-washing water. In addition, the hand-washing machine 10 has a faucet control unit (not shown) that discharges hand-washing water from the faucet for hand-washing 101 by controlling an electrically driven valve. Moreover, the hand-washing machine 10 may be provided with the memory | storage part which is not shown in figure, and may be made to memorize | store the amount of water discharged | emitted by one discharge. In this case, a flash memory, HDD, SSD, or the like may be used for the storage unit.

  Moreover, the bowl part 103 has the drain port 104 in a part of bottom, for example so that water can be received and drained to a drain pipe. The drain port 104 may be fitted with an eye plate (also referred to as “drain trap” or “strainer”) 105 for preventing foreign matter from flowing into the drain pipe. A drain pipe 106 is connected to the drain port 104. In the present embodiment, a step is provided at the bottom of the bowl portion 103, and the bottom of the bowl portion 103 is lower on the back side than on the near side. A drainage port 104 is provided between the steps (that is, the gap between the upper and lower stages) that can drain from the back side toward the front side. In other words, a step is provided at the bottom of the bowl portion 103 so that the drain port 104 and the eye plate 105 are hidden from the viewpoint of the user. Here, the upper portion that blocks the drain port 104 and the eye plate 105 from being seen by the user is also referred to as a “shielding portion”. In this way, the drainage port 104 and the eye plate 105 in which dust and the like tend to accumulate can no longer be seen from the user, and the appearance of the hand-washer 10 can be improved. The water distribution pipe 106 having a trap may be formed of metal or may be formed of earthenware like the bowl portion 103. Moreover, even if the drainage port 104 is provided in the lower part of the vicinity of the step, not between the steps, it can be hidden from the user's eyes by the shielding part.

  In the present embodiment, the hand-washing faucet 101 is provided at a position lower than at least a part of the edge of the bowl portion 103. If it does in this way, when a user wash | cleans a hand, it will become difficult to fly out of the bowl part 103. FIG.

Furthermore, the hand-washing machine 10 has a bowl washing faucet (also referred to as a “second faucet”) 107 for washing the bowl portion 103. In this embodiment, the bowl washing faucet 107 is provided below the hand washing faucet 101 in a front view. 2B, the bowl cleaning faucet 107 discharges cleaning water for cleaning the bowl (also referred to as “bowl cleaning water”) along the inner wall of the bowl portion 103. Note that the bowl washing water may be discharged left and right in a front view as shown in FIG. 2B, or may be discharged to either one. Moreover, when discharging to the left and right, an angle difference may be given to the discharge direction between one and the other, or a time difference may be given to the discharge timing. Further, a bowl washing faucet 107 may be provided along the edge of the bowl portion 103 so that the bowl washing water is discharged from the edge of the bowl portion 103 along the inner wall. As will be described later, the bowl washing water is discharged, for example, after the user uses the handwasher 10. In this way, the inside of the bowl portion 103 can be cleaned at an appropriate timing. A faucet control unit (not shown) drives the electric drive valve to control the bowl cleaning faucet 107. Moreover, you may make it memorize | store a setting in the memory | storage part which is not shown in figure about the water quantity and water flow which bowl faucet 107 discharge | releases by one discharge.

  In addition, the connection destination of a water pipe such as tap water can be manually or automatically changed to either a pipe for the hand-washing faucet 101 or a pipe for the bowl-washing faucet 107 using a switching valve (not shown). You may do it.

  In addition, the hand washing machine 10 has a human sensor 108. The human sensor 108 is an infrared sensor, for example. In the present embodiment, the human sensor 108 has a detection area on the front side of the hand-washing machine 1 and detects the presence of the user. As shown in FIG. 2C, a cover portion 109 that shields the drain pipe 106 from being seen by the user is provided so as to hang down from the edge of the bowl portion 103. For example, the cover portion 109 is used on the front side of the drain pipe. The human sensor 108 may be provided at a position that cannot be seen by a person. In this case, the human sensor 108 uses the user's feet as a detection area. Thus, the appearance of the hand-washing machine 10 can be improved also by providing the cover part 109.

  In the present embodiment, for example, when the human sensor 108 detects that the user has left the front of the hand-washer, the faucet control unit (not shown) is an electrically driven valve such as an electromagnetic valve. To drive bowl wash water. In the present embodiment, by providing the human sensor 108, the bowl portion 103 can be cleaned at the timing when the user finishes using the hand-washing machine 10. That is, it is possible to prevent the bowl cleaning water from being discharged when the user is using the mirror (not shown), for example, in front of the hand-washing machine 10. In addition, the bowl 103 can be quickly cleaned before the foreign matter hardens in the bowl and becomes difficult to wash away. The human sensor 108 or the bowl washing faucet 107 may include a microcontroller having a timer function, for example. In this case, the bowl cleaning faucet 107, for example, discharges the bowl cleaning water after a predetermined time has elapsed since the user is no longer detected from the detection area of the human sensor 108.

  In addition, the hand-washing device 10 may be configured to allow excrement or vomiting to flow and can be used as an ostomate (ie, “artificial anal holder” or “artificial bladder holder”)-compatible toilet (ie, filthy logistics). It may be. For example, the drainage port 104 does not include the eye plate 105, and the size of the drainage port 104 and the size of the cross section of the water distribution pipe 106 are such that filth can be washed away. Conventionally, in an ostomate-compatible toilet, washing is not sufficient, and filth and the like may remain in the piping. In addition, when the usage rate of the toilet is low and the washing water stays in the trap of the drain pipe 106 for a long time, the filth and the like may be hardened in the pipe. According to the faucet for bowl cleaning 107 according to the present embodiment, the bowl portion 103 is automatically washed with a predetermined amount of washing water after use, and clogging of the drain pipe 106 can be suppressed.

<Monitoring process>
FIG. 7 is a process flow showing an example of the monitoring process according to the present embodiment. First, the hand detection sensor 102a determines whether a user's hand exists in the detection area of the sensor (FIG. 7: S (step) 1). In this embodiment, the sensor is described as being determined, but a faucet control unit (not shown) may be determined by receiving a signal input from the sensor. When the hand detection sensor 102a detects the user's hand (S1: YES), the hand-washing faucet 101a discharges cleaning water (S2). In this step, the water faucet for hand washing 101a controls, for example, the time for opening the drive valve or the set flow rate is variable based on the setting of the amount of water discharged in one water discharge stored in the data storage unit 110. Controls the flow rate of the constant flow valve. Further, in this step, the hand-washing faucet 101a counts the number of times water is discharged, for example, every day or every predetermined time, and stores it in the data storage unit 110 as a log. In addition, you may memorize | store further the time which discharged water as a log. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S3. On the other hand, also when the hand detection sensor 102a does not detect the user's hand (S1: NO), the process transitions to S3.

  Further, the human sensor 108a determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the user left the front of the hand washing machine 10a (S3). That is, the human sensor 108a determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed since the user is no longer detected from the detection area. In this embodiment, the sensor is described as being determined, but a faucet control unit (not shown) may be determined by receiving a signal input from the sensor. As the predetermined time, for example, an arbitrary time is set in the data storage unit 110. When it is determined that a predetermined time has elapsed since the user left the front of the hand-washer 10a (S3: YES), the bowl cleaning tap 107a discharges the cleaning water (S4). In this step, the bowl washing faucet 107a controls, for example, the time for opening the drive valve or the set flow rate is variable based on the setting of the amount of water discharged by one water discharge stored in the data storage unit 110. Controls the flow rate of a constant flow valve. In this step, the bowl cleaning faucet 107a counts the number of times water is discharged and stores it in the data storage unit 110 as a log. In addition, you may memorize | store further the time which discharged water as a log. Since the bowl portion is cleaned when a predetermined time has elapsed since the user left the front of the hand-washer 10a, when the next user appears before the predetermined time has elapsed, the bowl portion cleaning is skipped. be able to. Note that the predetermined time may be set to zero, and the bowl portion may be washed each time the user leaves the hand-washer 10a. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S5. On the other hand, if it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed since the user left the hand-washer 10a (S3: NO), the process also proceeds to S5.

  Next, the control unit 111 determines, for example, whether a predetermined log transmission timing has arrived or whether an abnormality has been detected based on the log stored in the data storage unit 110 (S5). When the log transmission timing arrives or when an abnormality is detected (S5: YES), the control unit 111 transmits a warning message to the server 2 or the server 3 on the left side of the notification via the communication unit 113 (S6). The control unit 111 transmits a log to the server 2 via the communication unit 113, for example, at a predetermined time. In this step, the control unit 111 determines whether a predetermined timing has been reached, for example, using a timer function of the microcontroller.

  In addition, the control unit 111 may read a log stored in the data storage unit 110 and transmit a warning message to the server 2, the server 4 on the left of notification, etc., when a predetermined condition is satisfied. For example, in the case where the washroom 1 has a plurality of hand wash basins 10a, when the usage rate of some hand basins 10a is low, the control unit 111 transmits a warning message. That is, for example, the control unit 111 detects that there is a difference equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold in the usage rate of each hand-washing machine 10a in a predetermined period as a predetermined condition. The usage rate refers to, for example, the ratio of the number of times that the water faucet 101a of the specific hand-washing device 10a has discharged water to the number of times the water faucet 101a of the hand-washing device 10a provided in the washroom 1 has discharged water. And Here, when the clogging of foreign matters occurs in some of the handwashers 10a and the flow of water becomes worse, the usage rate of the handwasher 10a may be lowered. In this step, when the usage rate of some of the hand-washing machines 10a becomes low, the control unit 111 detects an abnormality and transmits a warning message. In the monitoring process, the above process is repeated.

  According to the monitoring process of the present embodiment, for example, it is possible to remotely monitor the usage status (operation history) of the hand-washing apparatus 10a without requiring the person in charge to visit the washroom 1. In addition, for example, the person in charge receives a notification that there is a suspicion that an abnormality such as clogging has occurred via the notification destination server 4, and can respond quickly. In the present embodiment, the control unit 111 detects an abnormality, but the server 2 or the like that has received the log may detect the abnormality.

<Setting change processing>
FIG. 8 is a process flow showing an example of the setting change process of the toilet 1. The washroom 1 may execute a setting change process in addition to the monitoring process described above or instead of the monitoring process described above. In the setting change process, for example, the setting related to the hand-washer 10a can be changed from the administrator terminal 3 via the network 5.

For example, the manager who operates the manager terminal 3 can change the instruction including the identification information set in advance so that the hand-washer 10a of the washroom 1 can be uniquely identified and information indicating the changed setting. Information is uploaded to the server 2 at an arbitrary timing. Examples of items that can be changed in the device settings include the flow rate of washing water, the water flow, and switching between hot and cold water. In FIG. 9, an example of the operation setting of a hand-washing machine is shown. In the example of FIG. 9, for each hand-washing device 10a, “water amount of faucet for hand washing”, “water flow of faucet for hand washing”, “use of hot water”, “water content of faucet for bowl washing”, “water flow of faucet for bowl washing” Etc. are set. Then, the administrator who operates the administrator terminal 3 uploads the changed settings to the server 2 in a CSV (Comma Separated Value) format file for each hand-washer 10a, for example.

  On the other hand, the processing shown in FIG. 8 is executed at a predetermined time or at a predetermined interval. First, the control unit 111 of the washroom 1 inquires of the server 2 via the network 5 whether, for example, the change instruction information is uploaded (FIG. 8: S11). When it is determined that data exists (S11: YES), the control unit 111 downloads data instructing the setting change from the server 2 and reflects the setting change (S12). In this step, the setting is stored in the data storage unit 110 of each hand-washing machine 10a. After S12 or when it is determined that there is no data in S11 (S11: NO), the process transitions to S11, and the setting change process in FIG. 8 is repeated.

  According to the setting change process of this embodiment, the operation setting of the hand-washing machine 10a can be changed via the network 5.
