- the predicted flow rate Q' is faster than the time amount The heat, and increases the amount of electricity supplied to the heater component 580.
- the amount of electricity supplied to the heater component 580 is changed prior to the change in the flow rate of the washing water. This makes it possible to suppress the delay in the change in the amount of energization to the heater component 580 and to suppress the change in the hot water temperature when the flow rate of the washing water is changed.
- Equation 2 is used only when the flow rate of the washing water changes.
- the flow rate of wash water is constantly changing slowly due to the water pressure and temperature of tap water, etc., and does not reach a constant value.
- the flow rate measured by the flow rate sensor 570 is used.
- the flow path switching mechanism 780 is configured so that the flow rate of the washing water changes linearly in the area used for the buttocks washing and the bidet washing. Therefore, the rate of change in the flow rate when the flow rate of the washing water changes is always constant.
- the hot water temperature can be stabilized when the flow rate of the washing water changes. Due to the structure of the flow path switching mechanism 780, the flow rate of the washing water changes even when the washing is started, but even if it changes, the washing is performed by changing the energization amount of the heater component 580 in advance. Fluctuations in water temperature can be reduced.
- the flow rate of the wash water may change at different timings due to the influence of hysteresis.
- Hysteresis is the amount of rattling that occurs so as to close the play in the gap of the reduction gear when the stepping motor of the flow path switching mechanism 780 reverses the drive direction. Therefore, when the flow path switching mechanism 780 is driven in a direction different from the previous time, a delay due to hysteresis occurs, but when the flow path switching mechanism 780 is rotated in the same direction as the previous time, no delay occurs.
- the flow path switching mechanism 780 does not change the flow rate of the washing water while the stepping motor is driving the hysteresis. Therefore, it is necessary to take the influence of hysteresis into consideration in controlling the amount of electricity supplied to the heater component 580.
- the drive standby is performed.
- the drive standby time T sttpm is a standby time based on the case where the hysteresis becomes maximum when the rotation is performed in a direction different from the previous time (hereinafter referred to as “reversal”).
- the drive standby time T sttpm is a predetermined value.
- the drive standby time T sttpm (diff) is set by reducing the standby time according to the amount of hysteresis as compared with the case of the maximum hysteresis.
- the flow rate of the washing water can be changed at the same timing when the flow path switching mechanism 780 is reversed as well as when the flow path switching mechanism 780 is rotated in the normal direction.
- the waiting time when reversing the flow path switching mechanism 780 is represented by the following (Equation 3).
- the hysteresis amount Hys of the flow path switching mechanism 780 takes a different value one by one due to the variation in the parts of the stepping motor.
- the value of the hysteresis amount Hys it is possible to absorb the variation of the parts of the stepping motor and always perform the flow rate control at the same timing.
- the flow path switching mechanism 780 drive standby time T stpm in this control not only aligns the operation timing of the flow path switching mechanism 780, but also creates a time for leading the control of the energization amount to the heater component 580. Is also contributing.
- the flow rate of the washing water is measured using the flow rate sensor 570, and if the measured flow rate deviates from the target flow rate, the position of the flow path switching mechanism 780 is corrected so that the flow rate of the washing water approaches the target flow rate. Then, during washing, this control is constantly performed, and the flow rate of the washing water is adjusted to the target flow rate.
- the counter for intermittent operation is incremented by 1.
- the flow path switching mechanism 780 is operated in the direction of bringing the flow rate of the washing water closer to the target flow rate. By repeating this, the flow rate of the washing water is brought closer to the target flow rate.
- the counter When the amount of deviation from the target flow rate of the wash water flow rate decreases and falls below the threshold value, the counter is reset to 0 (zero).
- the purpose of this treatment is not to operate the flow path switching mechanism 780 until the flow rate of the washing water completely matches the target flow rate, but to provide a certain amount of width. This prevents the flow rate from being constantly adjusted because the position of the flow path switching mechanism 780 is not determined even when it is difficult to finely adjust the flow rate due to variations in parts.
- the position control of the flow path switching mechanism 780 described above is performed during cleaning, and it is assumed that the flow rate of the cleaning water immediately after the start of cleaning does not match the target flow rate.
- One of the causes is the variation in the hysteresis of the flow path switching mechanism 780. That is, when the device is used for the first time, the hysteresis of the flow path switching mechanism 780 may shift and the flow rate of the washing water may not match the target flow rate.
- the hysteresis of the flow path switching mechanism 780 is stored before the equipment is shipped. Since the hysteresis of the flow path switching mechanism 780 varies in mass production, the flow path switching mechanism 780 is operated while passing water and measuring the flow rate before shipping. As a result, the hysteresis is measured and stored.
- the flow path switching mechanism 780 has a region where the flow rate changes when the position of the stepping motor is changed. By inverting the stepping motor in this region, the amount of hysteresis can be measured.
- the flow path switching mechanism 780 While the wash water is flowing, the flow path switching mechanism 780 is driven in one direction to stop, and then the flow path switching mechanism 780 is driven in a fixed amount in the opposite direction. At the beginning of rotation in the opposite direction, there is a hysteresis amount due to play of the gear, etc., so the flow rate does not change, but when the inversion amount exceeds the hysteresis amount, the flow rate changes. By detecting this change in flow rate with the flow rate sensor 570, it is possible to measure the amount of hysteresis.
- the sanitary cleaning device of the present disclosure can improve the workability of attaching various functional parts to the base portion, it can also be applied to a sanitary cleaning device without a toilet lid.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un appareil de lavage sanitaire comprenant une buse de lavage qui éjecte de l'eau de lavage pour laver un corps humain, un trajet d'écoulement d'eau de lavage prévu entre une source d'alimentation et la buse de lavage pour amener l'eau de lavage provenant de la source d'alimentation à s'écouler vers la buse de lavage, et un mécanisme de commutation de débit qui fournit l'eau de lavage de la source d'alimentation au trajet d'eau de lavage. L'appareil de lavage sanitaire comprend en outre un capteur de débit qui détecte le débit de l'eau de lavage à travers le trajet d'eau de lavage, un échangeur de chaleur disposé en amont de la buse de lavage pour chauffer l'eau de lavage, et une unité de commande qui commande le mécanisme de commutation de débit, le capteur de débit et l'échangeur de chaleur. L'unité de commande commande le mécanisme de commutation de débit de telle sorte que le débit est réduit lorsque l'eau de lavage commence à frapper le corps humain et est ensuite progressivement augmenté. Par conséquent, il est possible de fournir un appareil de lavage sanitaire capable de réaliser un lavage sans provoquer d'inconfort pour l'utilisateur.
