Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathroom ventilation device provided with ventilation means for circulating and ventilating air in a bathroom.

[0002]

2. Description of the Prior Art A bathroom ventilation device is used for bathers who warm their body with hot water in the bathtub without adjusting the air temperature in the bathroom when the temperature in the bathroom is relatively high, such as in the summer. Ventilation means is provided to circulate and circulate the air in the bathroom so that the bather can feel a cool sensation by applying air to a portion of the head or the like that is not immersed in hot water. Further, the conventional bathroom ventilation device is provided with an operation switch for manually starting and stopping the operation of the ventilation means, and when the bather enters the bathtub, the operation switch is manually operated to operate the ventilation means. When the bather starts the bathtub and leaves the bathtub, the operation switch is manually operated to stop the operation.

[0003]

For this reason, the operation of the operation switch is troublesome, the bathroom ventilation device may not be effectively utilized, and the operation of the operation switch is troublesome. After getting out of
If the operation of the ventilation means is continued by neglecting the operation stop operation by the operation switch, the bather's body may be inadvertently cooled, which is a disadvantage in terms of usability. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to improve the usability by devising a device for starting / stopping the operation of the ventilation means.

[0004]

A bathroom ventilation device according to claim 1, wherein the bathroom ventilation device is provided with ventilation means for circulating air in the bathroom to control ventilation operation of the ventilation means. The ventilation control means and the presence determination means for determining whether or not a human body is present in the bathtub provided in the bathroom are provided, and the ventilation control means allows the bather to enter the bathtub and When the presence / absence determining means determines the presence of a bather, the ventilation means is switched to an operating state in which the air in the bathroom is circulated to ventilate, so when the temperature in the bathroom is relatively high, such as during summer, Without adjusting the air temperature in the bathroom, you can apply a breeze to the bather's head, such as the head of a bather who is warming himself in the bathtub, to give the bather a cool sensation. , The bather leaves the bathtub and If the absence of the bath's presence determination means determines to stop the ventilation in the bathroom is switched to the operation stop state for stopping the ventilating operation of the ventilation means. Therefore, the operation of the ventilation means is started when the bather enters the bathtub without relying on the manual operation of the operation switch, so that the bathroom ventilation device can be effectively used and the bather exits the bathtub. Since the operation is stopped, there is little risk that the bather's body will be carelessly cooled, and the usability can be improved.

In the bathroom ventilation device according to the second aspect of the present invention, since the manual instruction means for switching the ventilation control means between the controlled state and the non-controlled state is provided, when the temperature in the bathroom is relatively high, such as during summer. If you switch to the controlled state, the bather will be able to comfortably take a bath while feeling cool, and if you switch to the non-controlled state when the temperature in the bathroom is relatively low, such as during winter, you will be in the bathtub. Bathers can comfortably take a bath without feeling unnecessarily cool and further improve its usability.

A bathroom ventilation device according to a third aspect of the present invention controls the heating means for heating the hot water in the bathtub and the heating operation of the heating means so that the temperature of the hot water in the bathtub is maintained at a set temperature, and
A heating control means that is switchable between a control state and a non-control state by a command means is provided, and the ventilation control means has the heating control means switched to the control state so that the bather warms the bath to a suitable temperature. When it is possible, when the bather enters the bathtub, the ventilation means is switched to the operating state to give the bather a cool feeling, and the heating control means is switched to the non-controlled state, that is, the hot water in the bathtub. If the bather may not be able to reach the proper temperature in the bathtub because the temperature of the bath is low, the bather will not switch to the operating state even if the bather enters the bathtub. You can take a bath without feeling a cool sensation and improve its usability.

In the bathroom ventilation device according to the fourth aspect, the presence / absence determining means determines whether or not a human body is present in the bathtub based on the detection result of the water level sensor for detecting the water level in the bathtub. Since it is configured, even if a person enters the empty bathtub for a purpose other than taking a bath, for example, when cleaning the inside of the empty bathtub, the operation of the ventilation means is unnecessarily started. Can be prevented and its usability can be further improved.

In the bathroom ventilation device according to the fifth aspect, since the ventilation means is provided in the bathroom air circulation path for introducing the air in the bathroom and returning it to the bathroom, when the ventilation means is provided in the bathroom. Compared with this, you can use the space in the bathroom efficiently.
