[Means to solve the problem]

The main points of the structure of this case are, firstly, the following points. i.e. shower A door opening/closing detector installed at the entrance of the room where the equipment is located and a signal being sent from the opening/closing detector. When a signal is sent, sound, light, letters, etc. can be used singly or in combination to convey the necessary information into the room. It is a point consisting of an indicator that displays the term.

[0005] In addition, the structure of the present case is based on the above first gist, and the second point is that it is structured as follows. The summary is as follows. In other words, the shower equipment does not include an operation mechanism attached to the equipment. It is equipped with a switch that detects the presence or absence of shower water, and also connects the shower water supply path to the appropriate location. is provided with an electrically operated valve, and the switch, the electrically operated valve and the opening Each of the closed detector and indicator is shut off when the open/closed detector is emitting an open signal. The electrically operated valve is held closed when a switch of the power equipment is placed in a sensing state. and the indicator is wired to start operating.

[0006]

[Effect]

The door of the shower room, etc. is not closed (not only fully open or partially open) (including situations where the lock that keeps the door closed is not fully activated) If so, the opening/closing detector of the door will generate an open signal. Therefore, this open signal Therefore, when the display is activated, sounds, lights, text, etc. will be sent to the user in the room. You can tell the necessary information (door is ajar).

[0007] By the way, if the door of the shower room etc. is not completely closed, If the user accidentally overlooks or misses the information on the display, the shower There is a risk of operating the operating mechanism of the equipment. Therefore, in such cases, the shower water It is even more convenient to prevent it from spewing out. i.e. the operation of shower equipment; By attaching a switch to the mechanism that can detect whether or not it is being operated. Both are electrically operated valves (electromagnetic valves) that operate in conjunction with the switch to close the shower water supply path. valves, electric valves, etc.). Also, after receiving the detection signal from the switch, If the display device starts operating from It has the advantage of being transmitted to

【Example】

The present invention will be explained below based on the drawings showing its embodiments. Ru. FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing the proposed structure. The proposed structure has shower equipment 1. A door 4 open/close detector is installed at the entrance 3 of the room (shower room, bathroom, etc.) 2. 5 and an indicator electrically connected to the opening/closing detector 5. 6 is provided.

[0009] The opening/closing detector 5 detects whether the door 4 is in an open state or a closed state. It is provided for the purpose of Various switches and sensors can be used. On the other hand, the indicator 6 is based on the signal emitted by the opening/closing detector 5. , when the door 4 is in the open state (not only in the fully open or half-open state, but also in the closed state of the door 4) (including situations where the lock 4a that maintains the status is not fully activated) This is to display the information indoors. As a display means by the display device 6 This means that sounds, lights, letters, etc. can be used singly or in combination. For example, a sound display is one that generates an alarm or a sound, whereas a light display is one that generates an alarm or sound. is a device that causes lights to emit or blink, or turns off indoor lighting, and is literally The display refers to the screen information ( (including letters, pictures, patterns, etc.), and is adapted to each What is necessary is to provide a structure. In addition, the contents of the necessary items displayed on the display 6 In addition to abstractly representing that door 4 is not completely closed, Provide a detailed explanation of the situation or provide a simple prompt to close door 4 completely. or, as a general result, the shower facility 1 is not usable. can be used. After all, when a user enters the room 2 such as a shower room, the door 4 of the entrance part 3 If it is not completely closed, the open/close detector 5 will immediately detect this and the display will 6, the necessary information to that effect is communicated to the user. Therefore, the user must complete Door 4. You will be prompted to completely close the room, so shower water will not splash outside of room 2. will be prevented.

0010 By the way, the display 6 accurately indicates that the door 4 is not completely closed. Even if the Sometimes I miss it. However, even in such cases, the user must use the shower facilities. Take a shower by operating the operating mechanism 7 (hot water/water flow rate adjustment handle, etc.) attached to 1. Avoid anything that would cause water to gush out. Therefore, in the main proposal structure , it is possible to detect whether or not the operating mechanism 7 of the shower equipment 1 is operated. A switch 8 is attached to the switch 8, and the shower water supply channel is connected in conjunction with the switch 8. An electrically operated valve 10 (such as a solenoid valve or an electric valve) is provided to close the valve 9. . These switches 9 and electrically operated valves 10 are connected to the open/close detector 5 and the display. 6, the wires are connected so as to obtain the following interlocking relationship. That is, the above The switch 8 of the shower equipment 1 is in a detection state while the open/close detector 5 is emitting an open signal. When the electrically operated valve 10 is in the shower water supply path of the shower equipment 1, It operates to close 9. In other words, it is used even though door 4 is not completely closed. Even if a person operates the operating mechanism 7 of the shower equipment 1, shower water will not spray out. As a result, the shower equipment 1 becomes virtually unusable. Therefore, the outside of room 2 is the shower Never get wet with water. Further, the display device 6 is as described above. A situation where both the open signal of the open/close detector 5 and the detection signal of the switch 8 are emitted at the same time. The wiring is connected so that the display operation starts for the first time in the state. Sunawa In this situation, the user may have doubts after learning that shower facility 1 is unusable. The situation is such that the display 6 will explain the situation accordingly. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly indicate to the user that the door 4 is not completely closed. It has the advantage of being able to convey information reliably. On the other hand, the user If you know that the shower equipment 1 is unusable, and the cause is the closing of the door 4. Suppose you find out that it is defective. Therefore, most users first close door 4 completely. try to make it into a state. However, as a result of this, shower equipment 1 can be used immediately. Then, shower water suddenly gushes out, much to the user's surprise. cormorant. Therefore, in order to prevent this, the display 6 indicates to the user the shower equipment. 1, or provide a separate reset button at an appropriate location. Shower equipment 1 cannot be used again unless the reset button is pressed. It is also a good idea to wire it like this.

[0011] In addition, those of these switches 8, electrically operated valves 10, open/close detectors 5, and indicators 6 Each can be appropriately selected from various conventionally known devices, and they can be wired together. In order to continue and control the interlocking relationship, an appropriate controller 11 is used. You can do it like this. Further, as the operating mechanism 7 of the shower equipment 1, the operating mechanism 7 of the shower equipment 1 is This is not limited to handle-type faucets such as those equipped with solenoid or electric valves. A touch-type faucet device or the like may also be used. If you do this, this faucet equipment will It is also possible to use a solenoid valve or an electric valve as the electrically operated valve 10. becomes. In this way, the detailed structure and shape of the proposed structure depend on the implementation mode. It can be changed as appropriate.
