Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] I would like to obtain a bathroom heating system that does not cause a cold sensation even if I drive it while taking a bath. [Structure] A variable louver 7 is attached to the air outlet 6, a human body detection sensor 8 detects the position of a bather, and a controller 9 automatically controls the variable louver 7 so as not to face the bather.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a bathroom heating device that is devised so that you can take a comfortable bath.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In a conventional bathroom heating system, the air in the bathroom is taken in and heated by a heat exchanger, and the hot air generated by this heating is blown from the air outlet into the bathroom to heat the bathroom. However, in the case of the ceiling-mounted type, the blowing direction of the hot air is fixed, and the blowing angle is set to a wide angle so that the warm air blows into the bathroom as widely as possible.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 For this reason, it is effective in evenly heating the bathroom, but if this heating device is operated even while taking a bath, warm air blows directly on the human body and the heat of vaporization is removed from the skin, so Even in the case of wind, it is uncomfortable with a feeling of cold wind.

For this reason, in many cases of normal operation, the bath is warmed by warming it up before bathing, and stopped while bathing. However, in the severe cold season, the temperature in the bathroom often drops significantly even while taking a bath, and the body may become cold when using the washroom. This chill will be answered especially to the elderly and sick.

The present invention is proposed in view of such a point, and it is an object of the present invention to propose a bathroom heating device that does not cause a feeling of cold air even when hot air heating is performed while taking a bath.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The structure of the bathroom heating device according to the present invention is as follows.

In a heater that sucks air from a bathroom to heat it and blows the heated hot air into the bathroom to heat a bath room, an automatic variable louver is attached to its outlet, The human body detection sensor for detecting the human body and the position of the human body in this bathroom is attached, and the automatic variable is set so that the direction of the warm air is not directed toward the position of the human body detected by the human body detection sensor. The bathroom heating system is equipped with a controller that automatically controls the orientation of the louver.

[0008]

[Action]

 When the human body detection sensor does not detect a human body in the bathroom, the controller blows warm air into the entire bathroom while moving the variable louver in all directions. However, when a bather is detected, the position of this bather is calculated and the orientation of the variable louver is automatically controlled so that it does not face this position. For example, when the bather is in the bathtub, the variable louver should be directed only toward the washroom and not toward the bathtub. If the bather is on the side of the washroom, turn it only toward the bathtub. When no human body is detected in the bathroom, the variable louver moves in all directions.

[0009]

【Example】

 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention. 1 is a bathroom, 2 is a heater installed on the ceiling, and this heater 2 has a heat exchanger 3 and a blower fan 4 incorporated therein, and the air in the bathroom 1 sucked from a suction port 5 is heat exchanger 3 It is heated by and is blown out into the bathroom from the outlet 6. A variable louver 7 is attached to the air outlet 6, and the variable louver 7 is driven by a motor.

A human body detection sensor 8 is attached to the heater 2, and monitors the bather and the position of the bather on the ceiling side. As the human body detection sensor 8, it is possible to use an infrared ray sensor or the like. Reference numeral 9 denotes a controller, which calculates the direction of the variable louver 7 based on the human body input from the human body detection sensor 8 and its positional information, and sends a control signal to the variable louver 7, as shown in FIG. When the bather is in the washing room 10, the variable louver 7 is turned in the direction of arrow A (bathside), and when it is in the bathtub 11 as shown in FIG. 2, it is turned in the direction B (washing side). Change so that hot air does not directly hit the skin of the bather.

[0011]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, in the bathroom heating device, the hot air is blown out to avoid the bather, so that the hot air does not directly contact the skin and cause a feeling of cold air, and there is no discomfort. As a result, heating can be performed even while taking a bath, which is particularly effective when the elderly or sick are taking a bath.
