That is, in the second prior art described above, the heater driving periods of the first and second heaters having different heating capacities are calculated by the zero-crossing control method, and the heater driving periods of the first and second heaters The water is heated while being heated to a heating set temperature while controlling the number of pulses.
However, the second prior art described above can reduce the occurrence of frequent noise to prevent burnout or overheating and reduce the fluctuation range of the current. On the other hand, there is a problem that a large temperature deviation occurs between the temperature of the water coming out from the hot water supply device and the set- .
The object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for controlling the hot water temperature of a bidet, which can precisely heat the water temperature to the set water outlet temperature regardless of the temperature and the flow rate of the water.
