Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a sanitary washing device to continue its automatic progress by means of arbitrarily changing its operating time while automatic progress is being in practice in accordance with a set pattern by providing a button for inputting practice hour change in an operating part and a control routine in a control part. CONSTITUTION:When a dry button is pressed while a sanitary washing device is being in practice of a certain phase, for instance, a washing phase, under the condition of automatic progress, the automatic progress is forcibly ended at this point and allowed to immediately start upon being transferred to a drying phase under the condition of independent progress. When an automatic progress stop button B is pressed during practice of automatic progress, the automatic progress being practised is forcibly ended. Various input signals from an operating part 2a are received by the input/output part 12c of a control part 12 and taken in a CPU 12a through BUS 12b. Interrupt signals enter a CPU interrupt terminal through an interrupt line 12g. The CPU 12a makes a processing practice while using a control routine 14, including a software timer, and a working memory 12f included in a ROM 12e and when the result is a pattern setting data (for example, practice time t1, t2, t3 or the like), it is stored in a non-volatile memory 12d while when it is operating signal it is output to an operating part 13 through an input/output part 12c.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sanitary washing device capable of executing a pattern of automatic progress registered and set, and more particularly to a sanitary washing device capable of immediately changing an operation time during execution of automatic progress.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The main functions of sanitary washing are washing and drying, which are composed of a plurality of types of operations. Examples of these operations are bidet washing, buttocks washing, rub washing, massage washing, deodorizing, drying, etc., each of which is referred to as a "phase". The independent execution is to execute these phases independently and independently. On the other hand, the operating conditions, operating time, phase order, etc. required to execute a series of phases are set and registered as a pattern. The execution of the pattern causes a series of
It is an automatic process that automatically progresses.

That is, the automatic progress is constituted by a combination of a plurality of phases in order, and progresses according to a set pattern. FIG. 9 shows an example of the set patterns, in which a cleaning phase for t1 seconds, an interval phase for t2 seconds, and a drying phase for t3 seconds are connected in this order and are automatically advanced.

Conventionally, a sanitary washing device capable of setting and registering an automatically advanced pattern does not have a simple function for changing the execution time of a preset registered pattern. less than,
An example of a conventional sanitary washing device will be described.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a conventional sanitary washing device. 1 is a toilet bowl having a toilet bowl 1a formed therein, 18 is a conventional sanitary washing device main body, and an operating portion 18a is arranged on the front portion. To do. Further, 3 is a cleaning nozzle that forms part of the warm water cleaning function and can move back and forth in the direction of the toilet bowl 1a, and 4 is a warm air outlet provided near the nozzle 3. Water supplied from a water supply source (not shown) becomes hot water by the heater built in the sanitary washing device and is jetted from the washing nozzle 3.

Similarly, the drying air also becomes warm air in the heater and is blown out from the warm air outlet 4. The execution of each phase related to sanitary washing can be instructed and controlled by inputting it from the operation unit 18a provided in the sanitary washing device main body 18 or the remote controller 19. FIG. 8 shows an example of a conventional operation unit 18a, and FIG. 10 shows a flow chart of execution of a pattern example.

By the way, when the sanitary washing device is used in an automatic manner, depending on the day, each face specified in the set pattern is specified.
It is often desired to extend or shorten the operation time.
However, as is apparent from FIG. 8, the conventional device has no means for inputting the change in the operating time during execution. Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the control means for immediately changing the operation time of each phase during the execution of the automatic progress and continuing the operation is lacking. Therefore, the user cannot change the operation time easily during the automatic progress, which is inconvenient.

[0008]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the conventional technique as follows. While the preset registration pattern is being executed, the operation time of each phase can be easily changed by the user, that is, the time can be extended or shortened, and the change can be executed immediately. In addition, it makes it possible to change the operation time temporarily and execute it.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a plurality of faders.
In a sanitary washing device equipped with a pattern setting registration means for defining the automatic progress and a pattern execution means registered and registered by the setting registration means, each faucet is set during the automatic progress. It is characterized in that it is provided with means for allowing the user to input a change in the operating time of the operation, and control means for immediately changing the operating time based on the change input and continuing the automatic progress.

[0010]

When the user inputs the operation time change, that is, the time extension or the time reduction, at any time through the input means while the automatic progress is being executed by the preset pattern, the control means immediately changes the operation time. To continue automatic progress.

[0011]

1 is a perspective view of a sanitary washing device of the present invention, in which 2 is a sanitary washing device main body, in which a control portion 12 is arranged inside and an operation portion 2a is arranged at a front portion. Execution of each phase related to sanitary washing can be instructed and changed by an input from the operation unit 2a provided in the sanitary washing apparatus main body 2 or the remote controller 5.

In the configuration example of the operation unit 2a shown in FIG. 2, four pattern number selection buttons A are used for a total of four patterns.
Settings can be registered. A pattern which is set and recorded at an arbitrary pattern number by operating the setting button S and the pattern number selecting button A can be automatically advanced only by pressing the pattern number selecting button A. The started automatic progress can be stopped halfway by pressing the automatic progress stop button B. While the automatic progress is continued, the automatic progress display lamp L is lit.

When a certain phase is being executed while the automatic progress is being continued, the phase is set and registered.
It is executed only for the time specified in the content of the program, but if you want to extend the time of the phase tentatively and immediately during this execution, the extension button P1
Press one of ~ P3.

In this embodiment, the extension button P1 is pressed for 10 seconds,
It is possible to extend the execution time by 20 seconds for P2 and 30 seconds for P3. On the other hand, when it is desired to abort the process for a set execution time and move to the next phase during execution of a certain phase, that is, the time for the phase is shortened by pressing the stop button C.

An example of changing the time in the automatic progression pattern will be described with reference to FIG. The preset patterns are the cleaning phase for the execution time t1 and the execution time t2.
And the dry phase with the execution time t3. If the extension button P2 is pressed while the cleaning phase is being started after the automatic progress is started, the cleaning phase is set to p2 (2 in this case).
0 seconds) is extended. Therefore, the total execution time of the cleaning phase is provisionally changed to t1 plus p2.

At the time when the dry phase is entered and executed for the time q, if it is desired to end the dry phase without waiting for the set registration time t3 to elapse, if the stop button B is pressed, this phase is pressed. -Can close the game. That is, the time can be shortened.

Thus, without automatically ending the process,
Further, the provisional time change can be arbitrarily made at any time without updating the setting registration pattern.

The other buttons in the operation unit 2a, such as the "move" and "dry" buttons, are operated when each phase is independently executed. For example, if the pattern number selection button A is not pressed during the start and the dry button is pressed, the independent execution of the dry phase is started. This single execution is terminated by pressing the stop button C. During the single execution, the automatic progress display lamp L does not light up.

If a dry button is pressed during execution of a phase that is automatically proceeding, for example, a cleaning phase, the automatic progress is forced to end there, and immediately the dry phase is executed by independent execution. Start.

When the automatic progress stop button B is pressed during execution of the automatic progress, the automatic progress being executed is forcibly terminated.

FIG. 4 shows the control system of the entire sanitary washing device,
A block configuration example is shown. The input / output unit 12c of the control unit 12 receives various input signals from the operation unit 2a.
a takes in this through BUS12b. The interrupt signal enters the interrupt terminal of the CPU via the interrupt line 12g.

The CPU 12a executes the processing while using the control routine 14 including the software timer and the working memory 12f in the ROM 12e, and the result is the pattern setting data (for example, the execution time in the above example). t1, t2,
In the case of t3), it is stored in the non-volatile memory 12d, and in the case of an operation signal, it is output to the operation unit 13 via the input / output unit 12c.

An example of the flow of the control operation of the apparatus of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 and is a flow chart of the control routine 14.
Explain in the chart. In this embodiment, the input by the extension buttons P1 to P3 during execution of automatic progress is detected as interrupt 1. Furthermore, the input by the automatic progress stop button B, the stop button C, and the dry button during the execution of the cleaning phase is performed as interrupt 2, and the automatic progress stop button B, the stop button C, and the wash button during the execution of the dry phase are performed. The input is detected as interrupt 3 respectively.

After the operation of the apparatus, the setting execution times t1, t2 and t3 recorded in the non-volatile memory 12d are read out to the working memory 12f and t1 ', t2' and t3 'respectively.
Is maintained in an updatable state.

After that, when the pattern number selection button A is input, an automatic advance cycle starts. First, in S21, the timer measures the elapsed time T, and in S22, the interrupt 1 can be accepted. Then, the cleaning phase is entered, and the interrupt 2 can be accepted in S23. Thus, the cleaning is started, and the loop is performed at S25 until the preset time t1 'has elapsed.

During this time, if the interrupt 1 occurs, the process proceeds according to the flow shown in FIG. S61 to S6
At 5, the extension button pressed is identified as one of P1 to P3, and the corresponding extension time p is determined. If the cleaning phase is in the check of S68, p is set to t1 'in S69.
Then, t1 ′ is updated with the value obtained by adding. If it is in the dry phase in the check of S70, the value obtained by adding p to t3 'is t3'.
To update. After this, it returns.

On the other hand, if interrupt 2 occurs, the flow starts from S40. If the pressed button is the automatic progress stop button B, the cleaning phase is terminated halfway in S42,
At the same time, the automatic progress cycle is ended.

If the pressed button is the stop button C, S
At 44, the elapsed time T is updated at t1 'and the process returns.

If the pressed button is the dry button, S
At 46, the automatic progress is terminated, and immediately at S47, the dry phase by the independent execution is started.

When the cleaning phase by the automatic progress has passed t1 'time, the acceptance of the interrupt 2 is stopped in S26 and the cleaning phase is completed. Then, the interval phase, which operates for t2 'time, is entered.

After the completion of the interval phase, the dry phase is started. The interrupt 3 can be accepted in S29. Thus, the drying is started, and the loop is performed at S31 until a preset time has elapsed. During this time, if interrupt 1
If occurs, the same processing as described above is performed. On the other hand, if interrupt 3 occurs, the flow starts from S50. According to the example of FIG. 3, the stop button C pressed q hours after S29.
Interrupt is detected in S53, and after the elapsed time T has been updated in S54, the process returns, but immediately exits S31 and ends. Other processing proceeds in the same manner as described above.

The extension switch P may be independent and the extension time may be set depending on the number of times it is operated.

[0033]

Since the device according to the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following effects. It is possible to easily input the change of the operation time of the phase specified by the preset pattern. The change of the operation time of the phase defined by the preset pattern is immediately executed during the automatic progress.
