DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention detects a sedative state of a bather by heart rate so that the bather can smoothly transition to a break or sleep before a break or before sleep, and reaches the sedated state. The present invention relates to a sedative bathroom device that can reliably perform sedation by feeding back to a bathing method until sedation is not performed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as effects of bathing, effects of promoting blood circulation by warming, warming effect, muscular fatigue recovery effect, soothing and activating effect of mental state, etc., have been mentioned. Usually, bathing at home is done to get tired and warm up for one day before sleep, but the general bathing temperature of Japanese people is as high as 42 ° C, which increases sympathetic nerves and increases eyes. Wakes up and cannot go to sleep smoothly. Further, among the bathroom devices, a fine bubble generator that generates fine bubbles in a bathtub, a carbon dioxide gas supply device that supplies carbon dioxide to the bathtub, a jet jet generator that generates a jet jet, and the like are known. These bathing devices, not only for those who are unfamiliar with them, but also for those who are accustomed to using them, may be unable to smoothly transition to sleep or a break depending on how to use or adjust the temperature of hot water.

[0003]

As described above, conventionally, a bather has been taking a bath without taking into account the next activity of the bather. When taking a bath with a strong stimulus that generates a large bubble, there is a problem that blood pressure and heart rate increase, leading to an increase in sympathetic nerves and awakening of eyes.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible for a bather to smoothly take a break or sleep before taking a break or sleeping. An object of the present invention is to provide a sedative bathroom device that can reliably perform sedation by detecting the sedative state of the subject from the heart rate and feeding back the result to a bathing method.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the sedative bathroom apparatus of the present invention has a physiological condition detecting means 1 for detecting a heart rate of a bather before bathing as shown in FIG. And a bathing method determining means 2 for determining a bathing method for the bather to sedate from the state before bathing, and the sedation state of the bather is confirmed by heart rate, and when the sedation state has not been reached Bathing method feedback means 3 for feeding back to the bathing method until calming down.

Here, the physiological condition detecting means 1 includes a heart rate detecting unit 11 for detecting a heart rate of a bather before bathing, and the bathing method determining means 2 determines a heart rate condition for sedation. A sedation condition setting unit 21 for setting the heart rate, a heart rate comparison unit 22 for comparing the heart rate detected by the heart rate detection unit 11 with the sedation condition, and a bathing method based on the comparison result of the heart rate comparison unit 22 A bathing method determining unit 23 for determining and a bathtub device control unit 24 for operating the determined bathing method are provided. The bathing method feedback unit 3 includes a heart rate detecting unit 31 for detecting the heart rate of the bather again, and a sedation. A sedation state confirmation unit 32 for confirming a state, and a bathing method file for determining a bathing method so as to be surely sedated when it is not sedated based on the result, and providing feedback so as to operate the bathing method. It is preferable to provide a readback portion 33.

[0007]

According to the above arrangement, the sedation state of the bather before bathing is detected from the heart rate, and the bather performs a bathing method for sedation from the state before bathing, and the sedation state is determined by the heart rate. When the sedation has not been reached, feedback is given to the bathing method until sedation is reached, so that the bather can be surely sedated and bathing can be smoothly shifted to sleep or break .

[0008]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a physiological state detecting means, which includes a heart rate detecting unit 11 for detecting a heart rate.
An electrocardiograph capable of measuring a heart rate with a finger is incorporated in the heart rate detection unit 11. The measured heart rate value is compared with a preset heart rate condition for sedation by the bathing method determining means 2, and the bathing method is determined based on the comparison result. The bathing method determining means 2 includes a sedation condition setting unit 21 for presetting a heart rate sedation condition, a heart rate comparison unit 22 for comparing the heart rate detected by the heart rate detection unit 11 with the sedation condition, A bathing method determining unit 23 that determines a bathing method based on the comparison result of the heart rate comparing unit 22 and a bathtub device control unit 24 that activates the determined bathing method are provided. A heart rate detection unit 31 for detecting a heart rate, a sedation state confirmation unit 32 for confirming a sedation state, and a bathing method is determined based on the result of the sedation so as to ensure sedation when sedation is not performed. A bathing method feedback unit 33 for giving feedback to operate the method.

The sedation conditions and bathing method will be described below. First, regarding the conditions for sedation, the sedation condition setting unit 21 in the bathing method determining means 2 is based on a heart rate of 60 to 70 beats / minute in a normal resting state.
As a result, if the heart rate is extremely high, the heart rate is 60 to 70 times / heart rate, which is the heart rate in a normal resting state.
1 minute in lukewarm water (36-38 ° C)
The bathing method determining unit 23 decides to take a bath for 0 to 30 minutes, and this bathing method is directly controlled by the bathtub equipment control unit 2.
Controlled by 4. Next, the sedation state confirmation unit 32
Here, again, whether or not the heart rate of the bather detected by using the heart rate detection unit 31 has decreased by about 5% from the heart rate before bathing is used as a criterion for sedation. If the sedation is sufficient, the bathing is terminated. If the sedation is insufficient, a warmer water, a fine bubble bath that can be relaxed, or a fine carbonated spring that can be warmed even if it is warm can be relaxed.
Bathing method feedback section 3 so that you can take a bath for about 0 minutes
Control with 3. The fine bubble bath and the fine carbonate bath are described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application No. 63-32271 or Japanese Patent Application No. 2-245701.

In the above embodiment, the heart rate detectors 11 and 31
Are provided individually, but of course one may also be used. In addition, although the bathing method is determined and controlled by the bathing method determining means 2 and the bathing method feedback means 3, a method of displaying the bathing method on a monitor to a bather may be used instead of the method of directly controlling the bathing method.

[0011]

According to the calming bath apparatus of the present invention, as described above, the calming state of the bather before bathing is detected from the heart rate, and the bather is calmed from the state before bathing. The bathing method is performed, the sedation state is checked by heart rate, and when the sedation state is not reached, feedback is given to the bathing method until sedation is reached, so that the bather can be sedated reliably and smoothly There is an effect that it is possible to take a bath so as to shift to sleep or a break.
