る。In addition, this controller (5) is controlled by the necessary electronic circuit for a predetermined sorting time (for example, about 50 minutes) after the sensor (3) starts sensing.
m5ec, ”-approximately 1 sec), the water supply valve (2) is continuously energized while the sensor (3) is sensing the human body, and after the sensing is finished, the water supply valve (2) is turned on for a predetermined delay time (for example, 0
．． 5 sec, ~2 sec,) then the water supply valve (2
), and further includes a controller (5).
If the water supply valve (2) is energized (i.e., the water spouting time is the time required for a normal shower), the continuous water spouting period is set to a slightly longer period (e.g., 2 min, ~4 min, etc.).
), and the water discharge is stopped when the continuous water discharge time reaches the prohibition time ~-1- even during sensing.

〈発明の効果〉 本発明は上記の構成であるから、以下の利点を有する。<Effect of the invention> Since the present invention has the above configuration, it has the following advantages.
■ 感知器で使用者を感知することにより給水バルブを
開閉するので、自動的にシャワーの噴出・停止を行うこ
とができ、従来のもののように給水バルブを使用の都度
手動操作しなくて良く、使用後給水バルブを締め忘れて
水が出っ放しなることを確実に防止でき、かつ節水が計
れる。■ The water supply valve opens and closes by detecting the user with a sensor, so the shower can be started and stopped automatically, and there is no need to manually operate the water supply valve every time you use it, unlike conventional showers. It can reliably prevent water from leaking out due to forgetting to close the water supply valve after use, and can also save water.
■ 給水バルブを直接子で触れなくてシャワーの噴出・
停止を行うことができるのでＩ′ｇ潔である。■ You can easily spray water from the shower without touching the water supply valve directly with your child.
It is safe because it can be stopped.
