Definitions
- the present invention relates to a power control device that reduces standby power consumption when a device is not used, and a device including the power control device.
- standby power when the device is not used is as close to zero as possible.
- the power control device for a toilet device described in Patent Literature 1 includes a human body detection unit, a function unit, a control unit, a first power supply unit, a second power supply unit, and a power control element.
- the human body detection unit detects the presence or absence of a human body in the toilet.
- the functional unit will maintain the environment in the toilet.
- the control unit drives the human body detection unit and the function unit.
- the first power supply unit supplies DC power to the human body detection unit and the control unit.
- the second power supply unit converts commercial power into DC power and supplies DC power to the functional unit.
- the power control element is positioned in front of the second power supply unit and controls energization from the commercial power supply to the second power supply unit.
- the control part of the power control apparatus of a toilet device drives a power control element according to the detection result of a human body detection part, and controls supply of commercial power to a 2nd power supply part.
- the toilet device operates only the power supply unit with low power consumption, and the standby power when the toilet device is not used is reduced.
- all functions are automatically made operable only by the presence of the toilet user in the toilet without depending on the user's intention to operate. As a result, a very convenient toilet device is realized.
- the control unit when the toilet device as a device is not used, the control unit turns off the power control element and turns off the power supply from the commercial power supply to the second power supply unit. ing. Thereby, the power consumed by the power supply unit itself from the commercial power supply is limited to the power consumed by the first power supply unit.
- the configuration of the power control device of the conventional toilet device turns off the second power supply unit (main power supply) that supplies power to a function unit or the like that is a large power load when the device is not used.
- the operation signal of an operation part, the detection signal of a human body detection part, and the temperature detection signal of various temperature detection parts are processed. That is, only the first power supply unit (auxiliary power supply) that supplies power to a microcomputer having a small power load that instructs driving of each load such as various heaters, motors, and LEDs is set to an on state.
- the microcomputer performs a low-speed operation in which the power consumption is lower than the normal operation, thereby realizing the low power consumption mode.
- the first power supply unit (auxiliary power supply) itself is necessary. Therefore, unless the first power supply unit (auxiliary power supply) is configured by a battery that is not a commercial power supply, there is a problem that standby power that consumes the commercial power supply cannot be brought to zero as much as possible.

- the CPU (control unit) shuts off the commercial power supply to the main power supply in response to the switching instruction to the standby power mode, and the CPU itself shifts to the standby power mode, which is the low speed mode, due to the current reduction of the secondary winding.
- the auxiliary power supply control IC is controlled to repeat intermittent driving stop of the auxiliary power supply due to the current drop of the auxiliary secondary winding.
- the CPU cuts off the commercial power supply to the main power source and also loads the secondary load of the auxiliary power source. Shut off. As a result, the CPU itself shifts to the standby power mode, which is the low speed mode. Then, when the current of the auxiliary secondary winding of the transformer is reduced due to the current reduction of the secondary winding of the transformer, the auxiliary power supply control IC of the auxiliary power supply switching control unit enters a standby power mode in which the intermittent driving of the auxiliary power supply is repeatedly stopped.
- the standby power mode when the supply of commercial power to the main power supply is cut off, power consumption at the output side load corresponding to the main power supply and the functional unit of the device connected to the main power supply is eliminated. Further, the secondary load of the auxiliary power supply is cut off, and the auxiliary power supply enters a standby power mode in which intermittent drive stop is repeated. Thereby, the standby power when the device is not used can be brought close to zero as much as possible. As a result, it is possible to realize a power control device that can significantly reduce standby power and a device including the same.
