Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vanity provided with an illumination lamp for illuminating the front of a mirror cabinet. It should be noted that the face washing action in this specification includes hand washing, face washing, hair washing, shaving, makeup, grooming, and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional vanity table, a mirror cabinet 4 is provided on a vanity counter 2 and an illuminating lamp 6 is provided on the mirror cabinet 4 as described with reference to FIG. There is something. In such a vanity, the illuminance of the illuminating lamp 6 on the upper part of the mirror cabinet 4 including the illuminating lamp 8 on the ceiling side for illuminating the entire washroom is fixed, and the illuminance corresponding to the washroom action is conventionally. Few things could be adjusted.

However, it is well known that the illuminance required for the face-washing action, for example, face-washing, makeup, shaving, etc., is different. Therefore, in order to adjust the illuminance of the illumination lamp 6, for example, face-washing can be performed. It is also conceivable to input with a hand switch whether it is or not, and change the illuminance of the illumination lamp 6 according to the input.

[0004]

However, in the case where there is a window in the washroom, the illuminance of the illuminating lamp 6 is switched to the face wash side, for example, by a hand switch, and the mirror cabinet 4 is turned on.
Even when the front of the mirror is illuminated, the brightness of the front of the mirror cabinet 4 is greatly different between the daytime and the night depending on the window 10, and it is not possible to secure an appropriate illuminance in the daytime, or the lighting of the vanity even at night. Depending on the ceiling illumination lamp 8 that is provided separately from the lamp 6, appropriate illuminance may not be secured.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the illuminance of the illuminating lamp can be adjusted and changed in accordance with the washing action, and at the same time, the adjustment can be made in accordance with the brightness in front of the mirror cabinet. The purpose is to ensure that appropriate illuminance can be secured.

[0006]

In order to achieve such an object, the vanity of the present invention comprises a mirror cabinet and an illuminating lamp for illuminating the front of the mirror cabinet. The illuminance sensor detects the illuminance in front of the mirror cabinet, and the illuminance of the illumination lamp is controlled so that the detected illuminance becomes a set illuminance.

[0007]

[Function] Since the illuminance of the illumination lamp is controlled so that the illuminance in front of the mirror cabinet detected by the illuminance sensor reaches the set illuminance, even if there is a window in the washroom where the vanity is installed, it can be used during the daytime. Even if there is a distinction between nighttime and nighttime, for those who wash the room, the brightness in front of the mirror cabinet is the brightness suitable for the wash.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a washbasin equipped with a vanity according to the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the vanity, and FIG. 3 is an illumination lamp of the vanity. 3 is a control circuit diagram of FIG.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a mirror cabinet 4 is provided on a wash counter 2 of a vanity. This mirror cabinet 4 is a front mirror 3
2, a power switch 14 for the illumination lamp 6 is provided on the left side of the illumination lamp 6, and an illuminance sensor 16 and an illumination setting display lamp 18 are provided on the right side
And an illuminance setting changeover switch 20 are provided. Further, one incandescent lamp 6 is provided on each of the left and right at the upper part of the mirror cabinet.

The illuminance sensor 16 is the mirror cabinet 4
The illuminance in front of the illuminance is detected and an illuminance detection signal corresponding to the illuminance is output. Also, the illuminance setting display lamp 1
When the illuminance setting changeover switch 20 is switched to, for example, the face-washing side or the makeup side, 8 illuminates and displays the face-washing side 18a or the makeup side 18b, and the illuminance setting of the illumination lamp 6 is displayed to the user. It is designed to display which wash action is supported. The illuminance setting changeover switch 20 is operated to set the illuminance of the illuminating lamp 6 in response to the washing action as described above, and outputs the illuminance setting signal corresponding to the face-washing side or the makeup side. Is becoming

Referring to FIG. 3, the storage unit 22 stores data relating to the illuminance on the front surface of the mirror cabinet 4 necessary for various washing activities. For example, the storage unit 22 has data such as illuminance data of 250 to 260 lux for a face wash, 280 to 290 lux of illuminance data for makeup, and 420 to 430 lux data for shaving. I remember. The control unit 24 inputs the illuminance detection signal S1 of the illuminance sensor 16 and the illuminance setting signal S2 of the illuminance setting changeover switch 20, checks the illuminance in front of the mirror cabinet 4 from the illuminance detection signal S1 and The illuminance data corresponding to the set illuminance is read from the storage unit 22 so that the illuminance is set to the set illuminance set by the illuminance setting changeover switch 20, and the front illuminance is made to match the read set illuminance. Then, the drive unit 26 is driven. The drive unit 26 drives the movable terminal 32 of the resistor 30 provided on the power line 28 of the illumination lamp 6 in response to the output of the control unit 24, whereby the illumination lamp 6 has an illuminance corresponding to the set illuminance. It lights up and illuminates the front of the mirror cabinet 4.

Specifically, the power switch 14 is turned on to turn on the illumination lamp 6. Then, the illuminance setting changeover switch 20 is switched to the face washing side. Then, the illuminance setting display lamp 18 lights up on the face-washing side 18a to display it, while the illuminance sensor 16 sends to the control section 24 the illuminance detection signal S1 indicating that the illuminance in front of the mirror cabinet 4 is, for example, 120 lux. Given.
At this time, the control unit 24 includes the illuminance setting changeover switch 2
Since the illuminance setting signal S2 corresponding to the face-washing side is given by 0, the control unit 24 reads the necessary illuminance data corresponding thereto from the storage unit 22. Then, if the read illuminance data is 230 lux in this example, the control unit 24 determines from the illuminance sensor output that the illuminance in front of the mirror cabinet 4 is 110 lux short in this example, and responds to this. Drive signal S3 for increasing the illuminance
Is output to the drive unit 26. As a result of the drive unit 26 correspondingly driving the movable terminal 32 of the resistor 30, the illuminance of the illumination lamp 6 rises so as to eliminate the shortage, and the illuminance in front of the mirror cabinet 4 is raised to 230 lux, The illuminance in the front is suitable for face washing.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the illuminance of the illuminating lamp is controlled so that the illuminance in front of the mirror cabinet detected by the illuminance sensor becomes the set illuminance. Even if there is a window in the deployed washroom, whether there is a distinction between daytime and nighttime, or even if the entire lighting is turned on and off in the washroom, the illuminance in front of the mirror cabinet is then It is possible to ensure the illuminance that is always suitable for the wash.
