Description

【０００１】
【産業上の利用分野】
この発明は、浴槽へ湯はりをする給湯機器と、浴室の暖房を行う暖房機を備えた浴室システムに関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術及びその課題】
従来、例えば図３に概略図で示すように、熱源機５１と、浴室の天井に設けられた浴室暖房機５２を、温水配管５３と通信線５４で接続して、浴室暖房機５２をリモコン５５またはワイヤレスリモコン５６で操作する場合に、リモコン５５，５６から運転信号を受けると、浴室暖房機５２が作動開始して、この浴室暖房機５２から熱源機５１へ湯を循環させるように指令信号が送られるものであり、従来では、熱源機５１から浴室暖房機５２を動かすことはできない構造となっていた。すなわち、従来では熱源機５１から暖房機５２を動かすことができないＥ−ｃｏｍ通信となっていた。
【０００３】
このような従来の浴室システムでは、例えば、浴槽内へ湯はりを行うための湯はりスイッチを間違えて押した場合、暖房機５２と熱源機５１が作動してしまい、その後に、湯はりをキャンセルして熱源機５１を停止させることができても、浴室暖房機５２を停止させることはできず、浴室に出かけてリモコン５５，５６で浴室暖房機５２を停止させる必要があり、面倒であるという問題点があった。
【０００４】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は上記従来の問題点に鑑み案出したものであって、間違って湯はりスイッチを押してしまい、湯はりと連動して暖房機が運転を開始してしまった後でも、湯はりを停止させるだけで、自動で暖房機の運転も停止させることのできる浴室システムを提供せんことを目的とし、その第１の要旨は、浴槽へ湯はりする給湯機器と、少なくとも浴室の暖房を行う暖房機を備え、浴室外のリモコンの湯はりスイッチをＯＮすると、前記給湯機器が運転されて、該給湯機器から前記浴槽への湯はりが開始され、給湯機器を操作するために浴室内に設置された浴室リモコンから前記暖房機へ運転信号が発信されて、暖房機が運転を開始する浴室システムにおいて、前記浴室外のリモコンに設けられている停止スイッチ等をＯＮすることで、前記給湯機器の湯はり運転を停止させ、これと連動して、前記浴室リモコンから停止信号を前記暖房機に送信して暖房機を停止させるように構成したことである。
また、第２の要旨は、浴槽へ湯はりする給湯機器と、少なくとも浴室の暖房を行う暖房機を備え、浴室外のリモコンの湯はりスイッチをＯＮすると、前記給湯機器が運転されて、該給湯機器から前記浴槽への湯はりが開始され、給湯機器を操作するために浴室内に設置された浴室リモコンから前記暖房機へ運転信号が発信されて、暖房機が運転を開始する浴室システムにおいて、前記浴槽の排水栓が開いている場合や、湯はり機能の故障などで湯はりが停止した場合に、前記浴室リモコンから停止信号を前記暖房機に送信して暖房機を停止させるように構成したことである。
【０００５】
【実施例】
以下、本発明の実施例を図面に基づいて説明する。
図１は、第１実施例の浴室のシステム図であり、浴室１の浴槽２内へ湯を供給して湯はりを行なうことのできる給湯器３が室外に設置されており、この給湯器３は暖房機能を有さない給湯器で構成されている。この給湯器３を操作するために、台所に台所リモコン４が設置されており、また、浴室１内にも浴室リモコン５が設置され、それぞれ電気的に給湯器３に接続されている。
【０００６】
また、給湯器３とは別に暖房専用機６が室外に設置されており、この暖房専用機６から、温水配管１４が浴室１の天井に設けられた浴室暖房機７に配管接続されている。この温水配管１４内には一般的に３本の通信線が内蔵されている。
また、暖房専用機６から、通信線を内蔵した温水配管１５が洗面室８を暖房するための洗面室暖房機９に接続されている。
なお、図中１１は浴室暖房機７用のリモコンであり、また図中１２は洗面室暖房機９用のリモコンである。
また、浴槽２には、排水栓１６ａを電動駆動部１６ｂで開閉できる自動排水栓１６が設けられている。
なお、前記浴室リモコン５には発信部５ａが設けられており、この発信部５ａから発信された信号を浴室暖房機７の受信部７ａで受信できるように構成されている。また、浴室暖房機７と洗面室暖房機９は連動用通信線１０で接続されたものとなっている。
【０００７】
このような構成においては、台所に設けられている台所リモコン４の湯はりスイッチをＯＮすると、給湯器３が運転されて、給湯器３から浴槽２への湯はりが開始され、給湯器３を介し浴室リモコン５の発信部５ａから浴室暖房機７の受信部７ａへ運転信号が発信されて、浴室暖房機７が運転を開始する。また、浴室暖房機７から連動用通信線１０を介して洗面室暖房機９へ運転開始の信号が伝達されて、洗面室暖房機９も運転を開始する。
【０００８】
即ち、このような構成では、給湯器３と暖房専用機６の制御が統一されていない（給湯器と暖房専用機が他社製品の場合とか、ガスと石油の場合など）場合においても、浴室暖房機７と洗面室暖房機９の湯はり連動が可能となり、台所リモコン４の湯はりスイッチを押すだけで、洗面室８と浴室１を予備暖房させることができ、このため、洗面室８内で暖かい状態で脱衣することができ、また、浴室１内も良好に暖房されているため、冷たく感じることなく良好に浴室内に入ることができるものとなる。
【０００９】
このように構成において、台所リモコン４の湯はりスイッチを間違って押した場合に、前述したように給湯機３の湯はりと連動して、浴室暖房機７及び洗面室暖房機９が運転を開始してしまうが、本例では台所リモコン４に設けられている停止スイッチ等をＯＮすることで、給湯機３の湯はり運転を停止させることができ、これと連動して、浴室リモコン５の発信部５ａから停止信号を浴室暖房機７の受信部７ａに送信して浴室暖房機７を停止させることができ、同時に、連動用通信線１０を介して洗面室暖房機９も良好に停止させることができるものである。
従って、間違って湯はりスイッチを押した場合にも、湯はりを停止させるだけで、自動で暖房機７，９の運転を停止できるので、わざわざ浴室１や洗面室８へ行って、リモコン１１，１２を操作して浴室暖房機７，９を停止させる必要がない。
【００１０】
なお、湯はり時には、前述した自動排水栓１６の電動駆動部１６ｂにより、排水栓１６ａは閉ざされて、その状態で浴槽２内に湯はりが行われるのであるが、自動排水栓１６が作動せず、排水栓１６ａが開いたままになっている場合とか、給湯機３の湯はり機能が故障したような場合で、自動排水栓１６からの信号や給湯機３のエラー信号で湯はりが停止した場合に、浴室リモコン５の発信部５ａから停止信号を浴室暖房機７の受信部７ａに送り、浴室暖房機７及び洗面室暖房機９を停止させるように構成することができ、このように構成することで、湯はりが停止している時に、無駄な暖房を行う必要がなくなり、また暖房機７，９を停止させるために、わざわざ浴室１とか洗面室８に出かける必要もなくなるものとなる。
【００１１】
なお、図２は第２実施例であり、図２では、給湯機能と暖房機能を一体化した給湯暖房機２０を設けて、この給湯暖房機２０と浴室暖房機７を通信線内蔵の温水配管１４で接続し、また給湯暖房機２０と洗面室暖房機９とを通信線内蔵の温水配管１５で接続したものであり、本例においても、台所リモコン４の湯はりスイッチをＯＮすることにより、給湯暖房機２０から浴室リモコン５に信号が送られ、浴室リモコン５の発信部５ａから浴室暖房機７の受信部７ａに信号が送られて浴室暖房機７が作動され、さらに、温水配管１４内の通信線、給湯暖房機２０，温水配管１５内の通信線を通し、洗面室暖房機９に作動開始信号が送られて洗面室暖房機９が作動されるものである。
【００１２】
このような構成においても、間違って台所リモコン４の湯はりスイッチを押した場合に、給湯暖房機２０の湯はり運転と連動して、浴槽暖房機７及び洗面室暖房機９が運転を開始してしまった後でも、台所リモコン４に設けられている停止スイッチ等を押すことにより、給湯暖房機２０を介し、浴室リモコン５の発信部５ａから停止信号を浴室暖房機７に送って、浴室暖房機７を停止させることができ、また温水配管１４，１５を通して、洗面室暖房機９を良好に停止させることができ、わざわざ浴室１とか洗面室８に出かけて暖房機７，９を停止させる必要がなくなるものである。
【００１３】
また、浴槽２の自動排水栓１６の排水栓１６ａが開いている場合や、給湯暖房機２０の湯はり機能が故障した等で湯はりが停止した場合でも、良好に浴室暖房機７及び洗面室暖房機９を停止させることができるものとなる。
【００１４】
【発明の効果】
本発明は、浴槽へ湯はりする給湯機器と、少なくとも浴室の暖房を行う暖房機を備え、浴室外のリモコンの湯はりスイッチをＯＮすると、前記給湯機器が運転されて、該給湯機器から前記浴槽への湯はりが開始され、給湯機器を操作するために浴室内に設置された浴室リモコンから前記暖房機へ運転信号が発信されて、暖房機が運転を開始する浴室システムにおいて、前記浴室外のリモコンに設けられている停止スイッチ等をＯＮすることで、前記給湯機器の湯はり運転を停止させ、これと連動して、前記浴室リモコンから停止信号を前記暖房機に送信して暖房機を停止させるように構成したことにより、間違って湯はりスイッチを押した場合に、湯はりに連動して暖房機が運転してしまった後でも、湯はりを停止させるだけで、自動で暖房機の運転を停止させることができるため、わざわざ浴室とか洗面室へ行って暖房機の停止スイッチを押す必要もなくなる効果を有する。
【００１５】
また、浴槽へ湯はりする給湯機器と、少なくとも浴室の暖房を行う暖房機を備え、浴室外のリモコンの湯はりスイッチをＯＮすると、前記給湯機器が運転されて、該給湯機器から前記浴槽への湯はりが開始され、給湯機器を操作するために浴室内に設置された浴室リモコンから前記暖房機へ運転信号が発信されて、暖房機が運転を開始する浴室システムにおいて、前記浴槽の排水栓が開いている場合や、湯はり機能の故障などで湯はりが停止した場合に、前記浴室リモコンから停止信号を前記暖房機に送信して暖房機を停止させるように構成したことにより、湯はりが停止しているのに無駄な暖房を行う必要がないため、湯はりが停止した場合には暖房機も自動で停止させて、わざわざ浴室とか洗面室へ行って暖房機の停止スイッチを押す必要もなくなる効果を有する。

That is.
[0005]
【Example】
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a system diagram of the bathroom of the first embodiment. A water heater 3 that can supply hot water into the bathtub 2 of the bathroom 1 and perform hot water heating is installed outside the room. Consists of a water heater without a heating function. In order to operate the water heater 3, a kitchen remote controller 4 is installed in the kitchen, and a bathroom remote controller 5 is also installed in the bathroom 1, and each is electrically connected to the water heater 3.
[0006]
In addition to the water heater 3, a dedicated heating device 6 is installed outside the room, and a hot water pipe 14 is piped from the dedicated heating device 6 to a bathroom heater 7 provided on the ceiling of the bathroom 1. In general, three communication lines are built in the hot water pipe 14.
Further, a hot water pipe 15 having a built-in communication line is connected to a washroom heater 9 for heating the washroom 8 from the dedicated heating machine 6.
In the figure, 11 is a remote controller for the bathroom heater 7 and 12 in the figure is a remote controller for the bathroom heater 9.
Moreover, the automatic drain plug 16 which can open and close the drain plug 16a with the electric drive part 16b is provided in the bathtub 2. FIG.

When hot water is poured, the electric drain 16a is closed by the electric drive portion 16b of the automatic drain plug 16 described above, and hot water is poured into the bathtub 2 in this state, but the automatic drain plug 16 is activated. If the drain plug 16a is left open, or if the hot water function of the water heater 3 is broken, the hot water beam is stopped by a signal from the automatic drain plug 16 or an error signal of the water heater 3. In this case, a stop signal can be sent from the transmitter 5a of the bathroom remote controller 5 to the receiver 7a of the bathroom heater 7, and the bathroom heater 7 and the washroom heater 9 can be stopped. By configuring, it is not necessary to perform useless heating when the hot water is stopped, and it is not necessary to bother to go to the bathroom 1 or the washroom 8 in order to stop the heaters 7 and 9. .
[0011]
FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment. In FIG. 2, a hot water heater 20 integrating a hot water supply function and a heating function is provided, and the hot water heater 20 and the bathroom heater 7 are connected to a hot water pipe with a built-in communication line. 14, and the hot water heater 20 and the washroom heater 9 are connected by a hot water pipe 15 with a built-in communication line. In this example as well, by turning on the hot water switch of the kitchen remote control 4, A signal is sent from the hot water heater 20 to the bathroom remote controller 5, a signal is sent from the transmitter 5 a of the bathroom remote controller 5 to the receiver 7 a of the bathroom heater 7, and the bathroom heater 7 is operated. The operation start signal is sent to the washroom heater 9 through the communication line, the hot water heater 20 and the communication line in the hot water pipe 15, and the washroom heater 9 is activated.
[0012]
Even in such a configuration, when the hot water switch of the kitchen remote control 4 is mistakenly pressed, the bathtub heater 7 and the washroom heater 9 start operation in conjunction with the hot water operation of the hot water heater 20. Even after having stopped, by pressing a stop switch or the like provided on the kitchen remote controller 4, a stop signal is sent from the transmitter 5 a of the bathroom remote controller 5 to the bathroom heater 7 via the hot water heater 20, thereby heating the bathroom. The wash room heater 9 can be stopped well through the hot water pipes 14 and 15, and it is necessary to bother to go to the bathroom 1 or the wash room 8 to stop the heaters 7 and 9 Is something that disappears.
[0013]
Even when the drain tap 16a of the automatic drain tap 16 of the bathtub 2 is open, or when the hot water stops because the hot water function of the hot water heater 20 has failed, the bathroom heater 7 and the washroom are satisfactorily used. The heater 9 can be stopped.
