DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a schematic system configuration diagram of a comfortable toilet system according to the present invention. 1 indicates a toilet,
As a device to create a comfortable environment inside the room,
A lighting device 2 such as a fluorescent lamp, a ventilation device 3 including a fan or the like for exhausting the air in the toilet 1 to the outside, a small air conditioner 4 using a Peltier element for cooling and heating the inside of the toilet 1,
A BGM (background music) device 6 for flowing river sounds, bird singing sounds, music, etc. through a speaker 5, a fragrance generating device 7 for spraying a one-shot fragrance or deodorant, and the like are installed.

Each of these devices 2 to 7 is embedded and installed in the ceiling surface 8 and the side wall surfaces so as to maximize the effects thereof and not to narrow the toilet space.
On the other hand, at the entrance of the toilet 1, a human body detection sensor 9 for detecting that the person A has entered the toilet is installed. An infrared sensor is used as the human body detection sensor 9 and is installed on the ceiling surface 8 of the toilet entrance so that the entire entrance of the toilet can be monitored so that the entrance and exit of the person A can be reliably detected. When the toilet entrance is wide, a plurality of human body detection sensors 9 may be installed.

A signal from the human body detection sensor 9 is input to a controller 10, and the controller 10 can control the operation of each of the devices 2 to 7.
The controller 10 operates each of the devices 2 to 7 for a time set by the timer function and stops each of the devices 2 to 7 after the set time elapses, and the human body detection sensor 9 operates during the set time. When the human body A is sensed again, it has a function of extending the set time by a predetermined time.

The scent-generating device 7 is of a one-shot spray type, and it is assumed that the scent-generating device 7 does not operate until a certain time elapses after it has been operated once. Further, it is not necessary to install all of the above-mentioned devices 2 to 7, and some desired devices can be selected and installed, and some of the devices 2 to 7 can be selected and operated by the controller 10 as appropriate. It is also possible to allow it.

However, according to the above embodiment, when the user enters the entrance of the toilet 1 to use the toilet 1, the human body detection sensor 9 detects the human body A and sends a signal to the controller 10. As a result, the controller 10 automatically activates one or more devices that create a comfortable environment, such as the lighting fixture 2, the ventilation device 3, the air conditioning device 4, the BGM device 6, and the scent generating device 7, and is preset. After a certain period of time has elapsed, the operated device can be stopped.

Therefore, a comfortable environment can be automatically created in the toilet by at least one or a combination of two or more of lighting, ventilation, air conditioning, BGM, and scent without performing a troublesome switch operation. In addition, since the operation of each of the devices 2 to 7 can be limited only when the toilet is used, the energy consumption can be minimized, and waste of energy due to forgetting to turn off the switch can be eliminated. Therefore, it can greatly contribute to energy saving.

Even when the person A continuously goes in and out, the operation time of each of the above-mentioned devices 2 to 7 is automatically extended, so that the effect is not impaired and the scent is further generated. The device 7 is a one-shot spray type, and it does not operate until a certain time has passed after it has been operated once, but since the scent has immediate effect and is persistent, it can be used as a one-shot spray type as well. The effect can be sufficiently exerted, and thereby the perfume consumption can be reduced.

[0017]

As described above, according to the comfortable toilet system of the present invention, it is possible to automatically operate a device for detecting a person entering and leaving a human body sensor to create a comfortable environment, which is cumbersome. You can automatically create a comfortable environment inside the toilet by entering the toilet without operating the switch. At this time, a more comfortable environment can be created by combining at least one or two or more elements of lighting, ventilation, air conditioning, BGM, and scent. In addition, at the same time as creating a comfortable environment, it is possible to operate the equipment that creates a comfortable environment only when in use, minimizing energy consumption,
It has a great effect that it can greatly contribute to energy saving.
