Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a remote control for a bath kettle having a constant setting changing means and a display means.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, bath kettles have become more sophisticated and multifunctional from electronic single bath baths with additional functions to fully automatic bath kettles with multiple functions. The constants that must be set by the user are also increasing.

For example, in a fully automatic bath, constants to be set include not only the hot water supply temperature and the bath boiling temperature, but also the hot water level, hot water quantity, current time, reserved time, etc. Tend to come.

[0004] Many of these constant setting values are all displayed in a very limited display range on the remote controller.

[0005]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, when trying to display all information such as a large number of constant setting values within the limited display range of the remote controller, the individual displays become small and the setting values are reduced. If you want to change it,
There is a problem that the display is hard to use and difficult to use.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to make it easier to see the display of a set value being changed when the set value is changed.

[0007]

According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, the operation of appliances such as a hot water supply temperature setting change means, a bath boiling temperature setting change means and an automatic hot water level setting change means is performed. A switch input monitoring means for constantly monitoring a switch input to the remote controller, and a timer means for measuring an elapsed time from a last switch input at the time of changing the constant setting, in a remote control for a bath kettle provided with a setting change means for a related constant and a display device. And display size changing means for changing the size of the display of the set value corresponding to the input switch, wherein the switch input is used to initialize the timekeeping means via the switch input monitoring means, while the set value for the input switch is set. along with the table to a large display device than normal size by the display size changing means temporarily another display
It is characterized in that the display size setting means automatically returns to the normal display size again after erasing or reducing and when the time set in advance by the time measuring means elapses.

[0008]

[Operation] As is apparent from the above configuration,
The switch input of the remote controller is constantly monitored by the input monitoring means, and when there is a switch input, the timing means is initialized. At the same time, the set value corresponding to the input switch is displayed larger than the normal display size by the display size changing means. When the time set in advance by the timing means is counted,
At the end of the timing, the display is changed to the normal display size again by the display changing means and displayed on the display device.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG.

FIG. 2 is an external view of a fully automatic type remote controller for a bathtub with hot water supply according to the present invention.

A remote controller 1 includes a display device 2 using a liquid crystal display, a bath automatic switch 3, a bath automatic lamp 4, a bath temperature setting switch 5, a hot water supply switch 6, a hot water supply lamp 7, and a hot water temperature setting switch 8. , Water level switch 9,
A current time switch 10, a reservation time switch 11, and a time setting switch 12 are arranged.

As a change of the constant, a bath temperature, a hot water supply temperature, a current time and a reservation time can be set by respective setting switches.

FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing the configuration of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, the present invention comprises a remote control switch 20, switch input monitoring means 21, setting change means 2
2. Clocking means 23, setting value 24, display size changing means 2
5. It is composed of a setting display device 26.

The operation will be described with reference to FIG.

When a certain set value is changed using the remote controller according to the present invention, this value, for example, the hot water supply temperature is input to the switch input monitoring means 21 via the remote control switch 20. Then, the switch input monitoring means 21 outputs a command to increase the display size to the display size changing means 25, resets the clocking means 23, and outputs the same to the setting changing means 22. Then, when the set value corresponding to the input switch is input to the display size changing unit 25 as the set value 24 via the setting changing unit 22, the display size changing unit 25 changes the set value to be larger than the normal display size. the display of the other by the setting display device 26
Is temporarily erased or reduced so that it is displayed larger than usual. At this time, the counting means 23 starts counting down the preset time at the same time as the display. When the count reaches 0, the counting means 23 issues a command to stop counting and return the display size to the normal size.
Output to Then, it is changed to the normal display size again,
The setting display device 26 displays a normal display size.

FIG. 3 shows a normal display state during standby and during operation.

FIG. (A) During standby, it is a display during standby when the operation of the appliance is stopped, and only the current time is displayed small in the upper left corner of the display device.

FIG. (B) During bath alone operation, this is a display during bath alone operation, in which the current time and bath temperature are displayed.

FIG. (C) is a display during hot water supply alone operation including automatic bath reservation, and displays the current time and bath temperature.

FIG. (D) shows a display during simultaneous use of bath and hot water.

Each of FIGS. 4A and 4B shows a display state during the setting change, and the set value to be changed is displayed larger than the normal display of FIG.

FIG. (A) is a display during the setting change of the current time, and when the current time switch 10 is pressed,
As described above, the setting value to be changed is displayed larger than the normal display.

FIG. (B) shows a display during setting change of bath temperature including setting of hot water level, and FIG. (C)
The display during the hot water temperature setting change is shown. Further, FIG.
(D) shows a display during the setting change of the automatic bath reservation time.

In this embodiment, only one set value to be changed is displayed during setting change. However, other set values may be displayed in small size at the same time.

[0026]

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above description, according to the invention, when changing the setting of the bath kettle body such as the bath temperature and the hot water supply temperature, the display size of the set value to be changed is changed to the normal size. Since a display larger than the display size can be displayed on the display device, a remote control that is easy to see and use, from children to the elderly, can be provided.
