The maximum output button 205 receives an operation input for maximizing the output of a plurality of functional units (the first functional unit 21 and the second functional unit 22) that do not operate simultaneously and whose output can be changed. More specifically, when the maximum output button 205 is operated while the first function unit 21 is operating at a first output smaller than the first maximum output, the control unit 50 activates the first function The unit 21 is operated at the first maximum output. Further, when the maximum output button 205 is operated while the second function unit 22 is operating at a second output that is smaller than the second maximum output, the control unit 50 causes the second function unit 22 to move to the second output. 2 Operate at maximum output. In this manner, the operation unit 200 receives operation inputs for operating the first function unit 21 and the second function unit 22 . Also, the control unit 50 controls the operations of the first function unit 21 and the second function unit 22 based on the operation input on the operation unit 200 .

The first functional unit 21 is, for example, either the private washing unit 30 or the deodorizing unit 70 . The second function part 22 is, for example, a local drying unit 40 . The private washing unit 30 and the private drying unit 40 do not operate simultaneously. The deodorizing unit 70 and the local drying unit 40 do not operate simultaneously.

The maximum output button 205 receives, for example, an operation input for maximizing the flow rate of wash water discharged from the private parts washing unit 30 in washing the private parts (maximum flow rate). When the maximum output button 205 is operated while the private parts are being washed in a state where the flow rate of the cleansing water discharged from the private part washing unit 30 is not at its maximum, the control unit 50 switches the flow rate switching unit 34 to the maximum output button 205 . By controlling, the flow rate of cleansing water discharged from the private parts cleansing unit 30 is maximized. When the maximum output button 205 is operated while the private parts are being washed with the maximum flow rate of the cleansing water discharged from the private part washing unit 30, the control unit 50 controls the flow rate switching unit 34. By doing so, the state before maximizing the flow rate of the wash water discharged from the private parts washing unit 30 is restored. The maximum flow rate may be the same as the maximum flow rate set by the power change button 206 or may be greater than the maximum flow rate set by the power change button 206 .

Thus, by providing the maximum output button 205 for receiving an operation input for maximizing the flow rate of cleansing water discharged from the private parts washing unit 30 in washing the private parts, the cleansing water discharged from the private parts washing unit 30 can be discharged with a small operation input. can maximize the flow rate of As a result, the usability of the private parts washing unit 30 can be further improved.

Further, the maximum output button 205 receives an operation input for maximizing the pulsation (maximum pulsation) of washing water discharged from the private parts washing unit 30 in the massage function, for example. When the maximum output button 205 is operated while the massage function is being performed in a state where the pulsation of cleansing water discharged from the private parts cleansing unit 30 is not at its maximum, the controller 50 controls the pump 38. This maximizes the pulsation of cleansing water discharged from the private parts cleansing unit 30 . When the maximum output button 205 is operated while the massage function is performed with the maximum pulsation of the cleansing water discharged from the private parts cleansing unit 30, the control unit 50 controls the pump 38. , the state before maximizing the pulsation of cleansing water discharged from the private parts cleansing unit 30 is restored. The pump 38 changes the degree of pulsation by increasing or decreasing the flow rate of the water discharged from the nozzle 31 . A state in which pulsation is large is, for example, a state in which the amount of change in the flow rate of water discharged from the nozzle 31 is large. That is, a state of large pulsation is, for example, a state in which the difference between the maximum flow rate and the minimum flow rate is large. The maximum pulsation may be the same as the maximum pulsation set by the power change button 206 or may be greater than the maximum pulsation set by the power change button 206 .

As a result, the usability of the private parts washing unit 30 can be further improved.

Further, the maximum output button 205 receives an operation input for maximizing the deodorizing power of the deodorizing unit 70 (maximum deodorizing power), for example. When the maximum output button 205 is operated while deodorizing is being performed with the deodorizing power of the deodorizing unit 70 not at its maximum, the control unit 50 controls the deodorizing fan 71 so that the deodorizing unit 70 maximizes the deodorizing power of When the maximum output button 205 is operated while deodorizing is being performed with the deodorizing power of the deodorizing unit 70 at its maximum, the control unit 50 controls the deodorizing fan 71 to operate the deodorizing unit 70. Return to the state before maximizing the deodorizing power. The deodorizing power indicates the deodorizing performance of the deodorizing unit 70 . A state in which the deodorizing power is large is a state in which the flow rate of the air sucked by the deodorizing fan 71 is large. The maximum deodorizing power may be the same as the maximum deodorizing power set by the output change button 206 or may be greater than the maximum deodorizing power set by the output change button 206 .

Thus, by providing the maximum output button 205 for receiving an operation input for maximizing the deodorizing power of the deodorizing unit 70, the deodorizing power of the deodorizing unit 70 can be maximized with a small amount of operational input. Thereby, the usability of the deodorizing unit 70 can be further improved.

Further, the maximum output button 205 receives an operation input for maximizing the drying power of the local drying unit 40 (maximum drying power), for example. When the maximum output button 205 is operated while local drying is being performed in a state where the drying power of the local drying unit 40 is not at its maximum, the controller 50 turns on at least one of the fan 41 and the heater 42 . The control maximizes the drying power of the localized drying unit 40 . When the maximum output button 205 is operated while local drying is performed with the drying power of the local drying unit 40 at its maximum, the control unit 50 controls at least one of the fan 41 and the heater 42. By doing so, the state before the drying power of the local drying unit 40 is maximized is restored. The drying power indicates the high performance of local drying by the local drying unit 40 . The drying power is determined based on either the amount of air blown from the local drying unit 40 (that is, the amount of air blown per unit time) or the temperature of the air blown from the local drying unit 40 . A state in which the drying power is large is, for example, a state in which the amount of air blown out from the local drying unit 40 is large. A state in which the drying power is large is, for example, a state in which the temperature of the air blown from the local drying unit 40 is high. The maximum drying power may be the same as the maximum drying power set by the power change button 206 or may be greater than the maximum drying power set by the power change button 206 . Drying power will be described later.

It has a button 206 a and an output decrease button 206 b ), a deodorizing button 207 and a massage button 208 . Since the functions of each button are substantially the same as those of the operation unit 200 shown in FIG. 4, description thereof will be omitted.

The operation of the toilet device 500 will be described below.
A case will be described below where the control unit 50 provided in the sanitary washing device 100 also determines operation input. It may be provided separately from the unit 50 . For example, a control unit (not shown) provided in the operation unit 200 may determine the operation input. In this case, the control section provided in the operation section 200 can communicate with the control section 50 provided in the sanitary washing device 100, for example.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing an example of the operation of the toilet device according to the embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 6, when an operation input is made on the washing button 201 (step S101: Yes), the control section 50 causes the private washing unit 30 to start washing the private parts (step S102).

The control unit 50 continues washing the private parts until the washing stop condition is satisfied (step S103: No). When the washing stop condition is satisfied (step S103: Yes), the controller 50 stops the private washing by the private washing unit 30 (step S104). For example, the control unit 50 (1) receives an operation input from the stop button 203, (2) elapses of a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) after the start of washing the private parts, and (3) detects the human body detection sensor 60. It is determined that the washing stop condition is satisfied when either of (4) the user's leaving the toilet seat 80 is detected and the drying button 202 is operated and input is satisfied.

Next, the control unit 50 determines whether or not an operation input has been made on the drying button 202 (step S105). When the drying button 202 is operated (step S105: Yes), the controller 50 starts local drying by the local drying unit 40 (step S106).

The controller 50 continues local drying until the drying stop condition is satisfied (step S107: No). When the drying stop condition is satisfied (step S107: Yes), the controller 50 stops the local drying by the local drying unit 40 (step S108). For example, the control unit 50 (1) receives an operation input from the stop button 203, (2) elapses of a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) from the start of local drying, and (3) detects the human body detection sensor 60. It is determined that the drying stop condition has been satisfied when either of (4) the user's leaving the toilet seat 80 is detected and the washing button 201 is operated and input. When an operation input is made on the cleaning button 201, the controller 50 returns to step S102.

If the cleaning button 201 is not operated (step S101: No), the controller 50 performs step S105 without performing steps S102 to S104. Further, when no operation input is made on the drying button 202 (step S105: No), the control section 50 does not perform steps S106 to S108.

As described above, in the embodiment, the maximum output button 205 is used as a common button for the first function section 21 and the second function section 22 . A case where the maximum output button 205 is used as a common button for the first function section 21 and the second function section 22 will be described below.

FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing an example of the operation of the toilet device according to the embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 7, the control unit 50 determines whether or not the maximum output button 205 has been operated (step S201).

When the maximum output button 205 is operated (step S201: Yes), the control section 50 determines whether or not the first function section 21 is in operation (step S202). When the first function unit 21 is in operation (step S202: Yes), the control unit 50 determines whether the output of the first function unit 21 is the first output smaller than the first maximum output (step S203). .

When the output of the first function unit 21 is the first output (step S203: Yes), the control unit 50 sets the output of the first function unit 21 to the first maximum output (step S204). If the output of the first function unit 21 is not the first output (step S203: No), the control unit 50 sets the output of the first function unit 21 to the first output (step S205). Thus, the maximum output button 205 may be used as a button for switching the output of the first function unit 21 between the first output and the first maximum output.

If the first function unit 21 is not in operation (step S202: No), the control unit 50 determines whether the second function unit 22 is in operation (step S206). When the second function unit 22 is in operation (step S206: Yes), the control unit 50 determines whether the output of the second function unit 22 is a second output smaller than the second maximum output (step S207). .

When the output of the second function unit 22 is the second output (step S207: Yes), the control unit 50 sets the output of the second function unit 22 to the second maximum output (step S208). If the output of the second function unit 22 is not the second output (step S207: No), the control unit 50 sets the output of the second function unit 22 to the second output (step S209). Thus, the maximum output button 205 may be used as a button for switching the output of the second function unit 22 between the second output and the second maximum output.

If the second function unit 22 is not in operation (step S206: No), the control unit 50 stores that the maximum output button 205 has been operated (step S210). When an operation input is made with the button for operating the first function unit 21 in a state in which an operation input with the maximum output button 205 is memorized, the control unit 50 performs step S203, and the operation input is performed. reset the memory. When an operation input is made to the button for operating the second function unit 22 in a state in which it is stored that an operation input has been made to the maximum output button 205, the control unit 50 performs step S207, and the operation input is made. reset the memory.

Note that when the second function unit 22 is not in operation (step S206: No), the control unit 50 does not need to change neither the output of the first function unit 21 nor the output of the second function unit 22. Alternatively, when the second function unit 22 is not in operation (step S206: No), the control unit 50 may change the output of the first function unit 21. FIG. That is, the maximum output button 205 is used as a button for changing the output of the second function unit 22 when the second function unit 22 is operating, and when the second function unit 22 is not operating, the first It may be used as a button for changing the output of the function section 21 .

If the maximum output button 205 is not operated (step S201: No), the control unit 50 does not perform steps S202 to S210.

In this way, when the maximum output button 205 is operated while the first function unit 21 is operating, the output of the first function unit 21 is changed, and when the second function unit 22 is operating, the output of the first function unit 21 is changed. By changing the output of the second function unit 22 when the maximum output button 205 is operated and input, the maximum output button 205 can be used as a common button for the first function unit 21 and the second function unit 22. .

Further, in this example, when the maximum output button 205 is operated while the first function unit 21 is operating at the first maximum output, the control unit 50 continues the operation of the first function unit 21. When the maximum output button 205 is operated while the output of the first function unit 21 is returned to the first output while the second function unit 22 is operating at the second maximum output, the second While continuing the operation of the functional section 22, the output of the second functional section 22 is returned to the second output.

In this way, when the maximum output button 205 is operated while the functional unit is operating at the maximum output, the operation of the functional unit is continued and the output of the functional unit is set to the maximum output. By returning to the output, for example, even if the maximum output button 205 is erroneously operated, the output of the functional unit can be easily continued while the operation of the functional unit is continued by the operation input to the maximum output button. You can return to the output before the maximum output. Thereby, the usability of the toilet device 500 can be improved.

In particular, in embodiments, the maximum output button 205 is used as a common button for the private washing unit 30 and the private drying unit 40 . A case where the maximum output button 205 is used as a common button for the private washing unit 30 and the private drying unit 40 will be described below.

When the private parts washing unit 30 is in operation (step S302: Yes), the controller 50 determines whether the flow rate of the private parts washing unit 30 is the first flow rate smaller than the maximum flow rate (step S303).

When the flow rate of the private parts washing unit 30 is the first flow rate (step S303: Yes), the controller 50 sets the flow rate of the private parts washing unit 30 to the maximum flow rate (step S304). If the flow rate of the private parts washing unit 30 is not the first flow rate (step S303: No), the controller 50 sets the flow rate of the private parts washing unit 30 to the first flow rate (step S305). Thus, the maximum output button 205 may be used as a button for switching the flow rate of the private washing unit 30 between the first flow rate and the maximum flow rate.

When the private parts washing unit 30 is not in operation (step S302: No), the controller 50 determines whether the private part drying unit 40 is in operation (step S306). If the local drying unit 40 is in operation (step S306: Yes), the controller 50 determines whether the drying power of the local drying unit 40 is the first drying power smaller than the maximum drying power (step S307).

When the drying power of the local drying unit 40 is the first drying power (step S307: Yes), the controller 50 sets the drying power of the local drying unit 40 to the maximum drying power (step S308). If the drying power of the local drying unit 40 is not the first drying power (step S307: No), the controller 50 sets the drying power of the local drying unit 40 to the first drying power (step S309). Thus, the maximum output button 205 may be used as a button for switching the drying power of the localized drying unit 40 between the first drying power and the maximum drying power.

As described above, the drying power is determined based on either the amount of air blown out from the local drying unit 40 (that is, the amount of air blown out per unit time) or the temperature of the air blown out from the local drying unit 40. be done. The air volume at the maximum drying power (maximum air volume) is, for example, larger than the air volume at the first drying power. The temperature of the wind at maximum drying power is, for example, higher than the temperature of the wind at first drying power. If the air volume at the maximum drying power is greater than the air volume at the first drying power, the air temperature at the maximum drying power may be the same as the air temperature at the first drying power. That is, the maximum drying power may be the same air temperature as the first drying power, and the air volume may be larger than the first drying power. If the air temperature at the maximum drying power is higher than the air temperature at the first drying power, the air volume at the maximum drying power may be the same as the air volume at the first drying power. That is, the maximum drying power may be the same air volume as the first drying power, and the air temperature may be higher than the first drying power. Further, the maximum drying power may be a state in which the air volume is larger than the first drying power and the air temperature is higher than the first drying power.

If the local drying unit 40 is not in operation (step S306: No), the controller 50 stores that the maximum output button 205 has been operated (step S310). When the cleaning button 201 is operated while the maximum output button 205 is memorized, the controller 50 performs step S303 and resets the memory of the operation input. When the drying button 202 is operated while the maximum output button 205 is memorized, the controller 50 performs step S307 and resets the memory of the operation input.

If the private drying unit 40 is not in operation (step S306: No), the controller 50 does not need to change the flow rate of the private cleaning unit 30 or the drying power of the private drying unit 40. Alternatively, if the private drying unit 40 is not in operation (step S306: No), the controller 50 may change the flow rate of the private cleaning unit 30. FIG. That is, the maximum output button 205 is used as a button for changing the drying power of the private drying unit 40 when the private drying unit 40 is in operation, and is used as a button for changing the drying power of the private washing unit 30 when the private drying unit 40 is not in operation. may be used as a button to change the flow rate of the

If the first function unit 21 is not in operation (step S602: No), the control unit 50 determines whether the second function unit 22 is in operation (step S606). If the second function unit 22 is in operation (step S606: Yes), the control unit 50 stops the operation of the second function unit 22 (step S607).

Next, the control unit 50 determines whether or not the output of the second function unit 22 is the second maximum output (step S608). When the output of the second function unit 22 is the second maximum output (step S608: Yes), the control unit 50 sets the output of the second function unit 22 to the second output (step S609). If the output of the second function unit 22 is not the second maximum output (step S608: No), the control unit 50 does not perform step S609. In other words, when the output of the second function unit 22 is not the second maximum output (step S608: No), the control unit 50 does not change the output of the second function unit 22.

If the second function unit 22 is not in operation (step S606: No), the control unit 50 invalidates the operation input on the stop button 203 (step S610). That is, when the second function unit 22 is not in operation (step S606: No), the control unit 50 ignores the operation input on the stop button 203. FIG.

If the maximum output button 205 is not operated (step S601: No), the control unit 50 does not perform steps S602 to S610.

In this manner, when the stop button 203 is operated while the first function unit 21 is operating, the operation of the first function unit 21 is stopped, and the second function unit 22 is stopped while the second function unit 22 is operating. The stop button 203 can be used as a common button for the first function unit 21 and the second function unit 22 by stopping the operation of the second function unit 22 when an operation input is made with the button 203 .

In this example, when the stop button 203 is operated while the first function unit 21 is operating at the first maximum output, the control unit 50 stops the operation of the first function unit 21. At the same time, the output of the first function unit 21 is returned to the first output, and when the stop button 203 is operated in a state where the second function unit 22 is operating at the second maximum output, the second function unit 22 is stopped, and the output of the second functional unit 22 is returned to the second output.

In this way, when the stop button 203 is operated while the functional unit is operating at the maximum output, the operation of the functional unit is stopped and the output of the functional unit is restored to the output before the maximum output. By returning, for example, even if the maximum output button 205 is erroneously operated, the operation input to the stop button 203 can easily stop the operation of the function unit and the output of the function unit can be set to the maximum output. You can revert to the previous output. Thereby, the usability of the toilet device 500 can be improved.
