However, in the above-described conventional hot water mixing apparatus, after the flow rate fluctuation is detected by the flow rate detector 9, the deviation between the mixed hot water temperature detected by the hot water temperature detector 8 and the set temperature is detected. Was calculated, the amount of bias was determined according to the deviation, and the mixing valve 10 was driven. That is, since the valve opening of the mixing valve 10 is adjusted after the difference between the mixed hot water temperature and the set hot water temperature is detected, a control delay from changing the flow rate to driving the mixing valve 10 occurs, and the tap water is temporarily discharged. An overshoot in which the temperature was significantly higher than the set hot water temperature or an undershoot in which the temperature was significantly lower than the set hot water temperature occurred. Therefore, when the user adjusts the flow rate, the user may feel discomfort.
In particular, with regard to overshoot, there is a problem that high-temperature hot water that causes a burn is considered dangerous.

In Table 1, the setting in one row is the setting before the change in the amount of hot water, and the setting in the first column is the setting after the change in the flow rate. For example, when the hot water amount setting means 27 changes the hot water amount setting from 3 to 5, ΔTm is −3.

After the storage deviation ΔTm input in response to the input signal from the hot water amount setting unit 27 is input to the deviation storage unit 33, first, the storage deviation ΔTm is stored in the storage deviation selection unit 34, and the absolute value of the storage deviation ΔTm is determined by the user. It is determined whether the difference is equal to or smaller than a set deviation range ΔT0 set as a deviation range that is not felt.
If the storage deviation ΔTm is equal to or smaller than the set deviation range ΔT0, the storage deviation selecting unit 34 prohibits the output of the energizing amount signal from the energizing amount setting unit 31 during flow rate adjustment to the mixing valve control unit 30.

Next, the negative deviation selecting means 36 determines whether the value of the stored deviation ΔTm is negative. If the stored deviation ΔTm is negative, the negative deviation selecting means 36 prohibits the output of the energizing amount signal from the energizing amount setting means 31 during flow rate adjustment to the mixing valve control means 30. This is because when the memory deviation ΔTm is negative and the bias amount of the mixing valve 18 in the direction of preventing the undershoot set from the memory deviation ΔTm (ie, increasing the mixing ratio of hot water) is excessive, the reverse occurs. This is because a highly dangerous overshoot occurs. In the present embodiment, when the memory deviation ΔTm is negative, the output of the energizing amount signal from the energizing amount setting means 31 during flow rate adjustment to the mixing valve control means 30 is prohibited. It is possible to prevent undershoot and reduce the danger of overshoot by correcting the amount of bias of the motor.
