The measured temperature value by the thermistor 401 and the surface temperature of the seating surface 411 of the actual toilet seat 400 differ slightly, and the temperature setting by the control part 260 considers the temperature difference, and sets temperature This is done.

In addition, the heater drive part 402 in the main body 200 is connected to the toilet seat heater 450 of the toilet seat 400. As a result, the heater driver 402 drives the toilet seat heater 450.

In the present embodiment, the toilet seat apparatus 100 operates as follows. At the time of initial setting, the control part 260 controls the heater drive part 402, and the toilet seat 400 is temperature-controlled so that it may become about 18 degreeC, for example, and the temperature at this time is called atmospheric temperature. The temperature of the toilet seat at this time is based on the measured value of the thermistor 401.

In addition, when room temperature is 18 degreeC or more, since the measured value of the toilet seat 400 also becomes 18 degreeC or more naturally, the control part 260 interrupts the electricity supply to the toilet seat heater 450.

Here, when a user operates the toilet seat temperature adjustment switch of the remote controller 500, the temperature of the toilet seat when the toilet seat is used is transmitted to the control part 260 via a remote control light receiving sensor. The control unit 260 stores the set temperature received from the remote controller 500 in the control unit 260 storage means. At this time, the temperature is called a set temperature, and a plurality of temperatures are prepared in advance, and the set temperature can be selected by a user's preference.

When the user enters the bathroom, the human body detection sensor 600 detects the user's entrance. As a result, the user's entrance detection signal is transmitted to the control unit 260 via the remote control light receiving sensor.

The control unit 260 detects a user's entrance into the restroom by the detection signal from the human body detection sensor 600. The control unit 260 drives the toilet seat cover rotation mechanism to open the toilet seat cover 300 and drives the toilet seat heater 450 based on the measured temperature value of the toilet seat 400 and the set temperature stored in the storage means. Select a specific heater control pattern for.

The driving of the heater driver 402 is controlled based on the selected heater control pattern and time information.

As a result, the toilet seat heater 450 is driven, and the seating surface 411 of the toilet seat 400 is instantaneously raised to the set temperature.

<6> Change of electricity supply pattern and toilet seat temperature of toilet seat heater

Next, the electricity supply pattern of the toilet seat apparatus 100 which concerns on this Embodiment 1 is demonstrated.

First, control of the drive of the toilet seat heater 450 is performed by changing three conduction capacities which drive the toilet seat heater 450 largely. When the toilet seat 400 is raised in temperature by the first temperature gradient, the heater driver 402 drives the toilet seat heater 450 at a power of about 1200W (1200W driving). In addition, when the toilet seat 400 is raised in temperature to a second temperature gradient slightly slower than the first temperature gradient, the heater driving unit 402 drives the toilet seat heater 450 at a power of about 600W (600W driving). In addition, when the temperature of the toilet seat 400 is kept constant, the heater driver 402 drives the toilet seat heater 450 at a power of about 50 W (low power drive). In addition, low-power drive means driving the toilet seat heater 450 by the electric power sufficiently low compared with 1200W drive and 600W drive (for example, the electric power in the range of 0W to 50W).

The conversion of the 1200W drive, the 600W drive, and the low power drive is performed by the phase control for controlling the energization from the heater driver 402 to the toilet seat heater 450 by the energization rate switching circuit of the controller 260.

The heater drive unit 402 is supplied with an alternating current from a power supply circuit (not shown). Therefore, the heater drive part 402 flows the alternating current supplied based on the electricity supply control signal provided from the electricity supply rate switching circuit to the toilet seat heater 450. As shown in FIG.

FIG. 10: is a figure which shows the change of the electricity supply pattern of the toilet seat heater 450, and the surface temperature of the seating surface 411 of the toilet seat 400. As shown in FIG. 10, the graph which shows the relationship of the surface temperature of the toilet seat 400, and time, and the graph which shows the relationship of the electricity supply rate and time at the time of driving the toilet seat heater 450 are shown. The horizontal axis of these two graphs is a common time axis. In addition, in FIG. 10, the case where the set temperature of the toilet seat is set to 38 degreeC and room temperature is lower than 18 degreeC is assumed.

In the standby state until the user's entrance is detected by the human body detection sensor 600, the toilet seat cover 300 is closed to cover the toilet seat in order to suppress heat dissipation of the toilet seat 400. Low-power drive of the toilet seat heater 450 is performed so that the surface temperature of the seating surface 411 of the toilet seat 400 may become constant at 18 degreeC.

When the user's entrance is detected by the human body detection sensor 600 at the time t1, the control unit 260 drives the toilet seat cover rotation mechanism to open the toilet seat 300, and at the same time, the preset inrush current. During the reduction period D2, 600 W driving is performed. In addition, this 600W drive is performed in order to fully reduce inrush current, and is 0.5 second in this embodiment. In this case, the surface temperature of the toilet seat 400 is raised to a slightly gentle second temperature gradient.

Thereafter, the controller 260 starts driving the 1200W of the toilet seat heater 450 at the time t2 after the inrush current reduction period D2 has elapsed, and the toilet seat during the first temperature rise period D3 preset. Continue driving 1200W of heater 450. In this embodiment, the temperature rise period D3 is set for 5.5 seconds, and the surface temperature of the seating surface 411 is raised by the above-mentioned first temperature gradient.

Here, the surface temperature of the seating surface 411 of the toilet seat 400 rises rapidly. 1200W drive of the toilet seat heater 450 is performed until the surface temperature of the seating surface 411 of the toilet seat 400 reaches predetermined temperature (for example, 30 degreeC). The predetermined temperature is not a temperature that has sufficiently risen to the set temperature, and even if it is lower than this, the predetermined temperature may be higher than or equal to the minimum limit temperature (the temperature is referred to as the limit temperature) that does not cause a cold discomfort when the user is seated. It turns out that this limit temperature is about 29 degreeC by the subject experiment which the inventors etc. performed.

Thus, in the 1st temperature rise period D3, the surface temperature of the seating surface 411 rises to the temperature which exceeds the limit temperature rapidly by 1200W drive. At this point, the user can sit on the toilet seat 400 without feeling the toilet seat 400 cold.

In addition, in general, if the surface temperature of the toilet seat 400 is rapidly increased, an overshoot that rises to a temperature higher than or equal to the set temperature occurs. However, in this embodiment, when the surface temperature of the seating surface 411 of the toilet seat 400 reaches the temperature exceeding a limit temperature, by converting 1200W drive of the toilet seat heater 450 into 600W drive, The temperature gradient is moderated and the overshoot is suppressed, so that the surface temperature of the seating surface 411 is controlled so as not to exceed the set temperature.

600W drive of the toilet seat heater 450 is performed until the surface temperature of the seating surface 411 of the toilet seat 400 reaches the preset temperature of 38 degreeC, and when the measured value of the thermistor 401 reaches the preset temperature, Stop the 600W drive and change to the next drive.

The controller 260 starts low-power drive of the toilet seat heater 450 at a time t4 after the second temperature rise period D4 has elapsed, and low-power of the toilet seat heater 450 during the first holding period D5. Continue to drive. Thereby, the surface temperature of the seating surface 411 of the toilet seat 400 is kept constant at a preset temperature.

The controller 260, when the user's seating on the toilet seat 400 is detected by the seating sensor 202 at time t5, the surface temperature of the toilet seat 400 changes the set temperature during the first seating period D6. The low power drive of the toilet seat heater 450 is continued to maintain. In this embodiment, the 1st seating period D6 is set to about 10 minutes.

Moreover, the control part 260 further lowers the electricity supply rate of low electric power drive at the time t6 after the elapse of 1st seating period D6, and the seating surface of the toilet seat 400 during the 2nd seating period D7. Low-power drive of the toilet seat heater 450 is continued so that the surface temperature of 411 may fall to the temperature 36 degreeC slightly lower than the toilet seat setting temperature. In this embodiment, the 2nd seating period D7 is set to about 2 minutes.

The control unit 260 further lowers the conduction rate of the low power drive at the time t7 after the elapse of the second seating period D7, and the seating surface 411 of the toilet seat 400 during the second sustaining period D8. The low-power drive of the toilet seat heater 450 is continued so that the surface temperature of) may be constant at a temperature of 36 ° C. slightly lower than the toilet seat setting temperature. In the following description, the surface temperature of the seating surface 411 of the period toilet seat 400 maintained constant in 2nd holding period D8, ie, the temperature slightly lower than the toilet seat setting temperature, is called holding temperature. Thus, in this example, after the user seats on the toilet seat 400, the control part 260 gradually lowers the surface temperature of the toilet seat 400. As shown in FIG. This prevents the user from getting a low temperature burn.

When the control unit 260 detects that the user moves away from the toilet seat 400 by the seat sensor 202 at time t8, the control unit 260 stops driving the toilet seat heater 450 during the stop period D9. As a result, the surface temperature of the seating surface 411 of the toilet seat 400 falls, and at the time t9 when the surface temperature of the toilet seat 400 reaches 18 degreeC, low-power drive of the toilet seat heater 450 is again performed. Starting, the low-power drive of the toilet seat heater 450 is maintained for the waiting period D10 so that the surface temperature of the toilet seat 400 may be constant to 18 degreeC which is an atmospheric temperature.

When the user moves away from the toilet after moving away from the toilet seat 400, the human body detection sensor 600 does not detect the human body, and the control unit 260 controls the toilet seat cover rotation mechanism to suppress heat dissipation of the toilet seat 400. Drives the toilet lid 300 is closed.

As mentioned above, drive control of the toilet seat heater 450 in this embodiment combines control by time in 1200W drive etc., and temperature control by detection of thermistor 401, such as 600W drive and low-power drive. In particular, it is an important point that the thermistor 401 detects the set temperature without delay during 600W driving.
