Description

The present invention relates to a method for heating a bathroom or the like.

<Conventional technology> Conventionally, a dressing room or a bathroom (hereinafter referred to as a bathroom, etc.) is rarely heated, and even if heating is performed, the operation signal of the bathroom heating or the like is directly related to the operation control such as filling of a bathtub or reheating. Without being linked to each other, they needed their own driving signals.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> Therefore, it is necessary to separately operate the operation control of the bathtub and the heating control of the bathroom and the like, which is troublesome. In addition, the user often forgets to perform the heating operation of the bathroom or the like, and often bathes in a cold bathroom or the like. If the operation is not performed in accordance with the difference between the time required for the bathtub preparation and the time required for the heating preparation, the operation is very troublesome for the user, such as energy loss.

Also, when you stop driving, forget the stop operation,
Unnecessary bathrooms and the like are heated all day, which may consume energy unnecessarily.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a heating method for a bathroom or the like that solves the above-described problem by appropriately heating a heating device based on an operation signal of a bathtub control device.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention includes a bathtub control device having a function of automatically filling a bathtub and having a function of reheating a bathtub, and a heating control device such as floor heating of a bathroom. When the bathtub is filled with water, the heating operation of the bathroom or the like is started based on a signal based on the operation signal to the bathtub control device. Is changed according to the bathtub temperature.

<Operation> As described above, when the bathtub is filled with water as an operation for preparing for bathing, when an operation signal for boiling water enters the bathtub control device, the heating control device based on the operation signal of the dressing room and the bathroom. Start heating. In the case of reheating, heating of the dressing room and bathroom does not have to be performed at the same time as heating of the bathtub, and it depends on the difference between the time required for reheating (depending on hot water temperature) and the time required for heating up. It is what you do.

<Example> Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings of examples.
It is as follows.

FIG. 1 is a system diagram of one embodiment, FIG. 2 is a control circuit diagram,
A hot water tap 4 is exposed from a hot water boiler 2 via a stop valve 3 to the bathtub 1, and the hot water boiler 2 is connected to a lower portion of the bathtub 1 via reheating means 5. The water level sensor 6, the stop valve 3 and the reheating unit 5 of the bathtub 1 are led to a bathtub control device 7. In addition, a circulation pipe connected to the hot water boiler 2 is also provided in the bathroom floor heating panel 8 and the dressing room 9, and a circulation path is formed by interposing a pump 10 in this heating pipe section. In this case, the pump 10 is a heating control device 11 connected to the bathtub control device 7 by a photocoupler 12.
Start and stop by In the control circuit shown in FIG. 2, 13 is a bathtub temperature sensor, 14 is a bathtub operation / stop switch, and 15 is a bathtub operation display lamp.

Next, when the bathroom or the like is heated, first, as a bathing preparation operation, a bathtub 1 is filled with water for bathing preparation, or a signal (bathtub control signal) for heating the water in the bathtub 1 is operated.
Based on this, heating of the dressing room 9 and the bathroom 8 is started. The heating of the bathroom and the like does not become comfortable at the start of operation, and it takes about 15 minutes to make the room comfortable. Also, it takes generally about 15 minutes to fill the bathtub 1 with hot water. Therefore, it is sufficient to start the heating operation almost simultaneously.

If the bathtub 1 is already filled with water, the bathtub preparation time may be longer than the above time depending on the bathtub temperature. Therefore, it is useless to start heating simultaneously in such a case. Since the time required for boiling depends on the hot water temperature (difference from the bathtub set temperature, the same applies hereinafter), it can be inferred from the hot water temperature, and the delay of the heating start time is calculated and controlled from the calculated time. This can reduce wasteful heating.

As the bathtub stop operation, when the operation control of the bathtub 1 becomes unnecessary, the operation is stopped. At this time, the heating operation is stopped simultaneously with the bathtub operation. Therefore, loss due to forgetting to cut is eliminated.

 From start to stop, each control controls the bathtub and bathroom comfortably.

<Effect of the Invention> As described above, the method for heating a bathroom or the like according to the present invention combines a heating control device such as a bathroom with a bathtub control device having a hot water filling function or a reheating function, and outputs a bathtub control signal for bathing. By performing the heating operation of the bathroom etc. according to the standard, the similarity between the time required for the interior of the bathroom etc. to become comfortable and the time required for the bathtub to be in a state suitable for bathing is used, and the heating and bathing This eliminates the need for two cumbersome operations of preparing for bathing, and prevents forgetting to turn on a switch or the like. Moreover, in this case, by controlling the heating start delay time based on the bathtub hot water temperature, energy loss due to unnecessary heating can be reduced. When reheating,
Since the reheating time and the time required for the heating to rise depending on the hot water temperature are taken into account, no energy loss is caused from this point. In addition, there is an effect that even when the operation is stopped, the operation is stopped based on the bathtub operation stop signal, and energy loss due to forgetting to turn off can be eliminated.
