Description

本発明は、浴室内の空調を行う浴室空調システムに関する。 The present invention relates to a bathroom air conditioning system that air-conditions a bathroom.

従来、この種の浴室空調システムとして、空気を加熱又は冷却する熱源と、浴室内の空気を吸い込み、吸い込んだ空気を浴室内に吹出して浴室内の空気を循環させる送風手段と、浴室内の温度を検知する室温検知手段と、浴室内の人の存在を検知する人検知手段と、少なくとも人検知手段の検知結果に基づいて所定期間における入浴パターンを学習し、入浴開始時刻を推定して記憶し、記憶した入浴開始時刻に基づく空調の自動制御を含む運転制御を実行可能な制御手段を備えたものが知られている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。 Conventionally, as this type of bathroom air conditioning system, a heat source for heating or cooling air, a ventilation means for sucking air in the bathroom and blowing the sucked air into the bathroom to circulate the air in the bathroom, and a temperature in the bathroom. The bathing pattern in a predetermined period is learned based on the detection result of the room temperature detecting means for detecting the presence of a person in the bathroom, the person detecting means for detecting the presence of a person in the bathroom, and at least the detection result of the person detecting means, and the bathing start time is estimated and stored. , A control means capable of executing operation control including automatic control of air conditioning based on a stored bathing start time is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

特開２０１２−２２００６１号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2012-220061

一般に、浴室空調システムでは、浴室暖房以外にも浴室乾燥や浴室内での衣類乾燥等が行われるが、特許文献１記載の浴室空調システムの如く、人検知手段等の検知結果に基づいて入浴パターンを学習するのでは、例えば、浴室清掃や浴室内に洗濯した衣類を収容する等の、入浴に関与しない浴室へのユーザの入退室を入浴として誤認することが起こり得る。その結果、入浴開始時刻の推定精度に少なからず影響を及ぼす。 Generally, in a bathroom air-conditioning system, in addition to bathroom heating, bathroom drying and clothes drying in the bathroom are performed. However, as in the bathroom air-conditioning system described in Patent Document 1, a bathing pattern is performed based on the detection result of a person detection means or the like. It is possible that a user's entry / exit into a bathroom that is not involved in bathing, such as cleaning the bathroom or accommodating washed clothes in the bathroom, may be mistaken for bathing. As a result, the estimation accuracy of the bathing start time is not a little affected.

本発明は、以上の点に鑑み、入浴時刻の推定精度を向上できるようにした浴室空調システムを提供することをその課題としている。 In view of the above points, it is an object of the present invention to provide a bathroom air conditioning system capable of improving the estimation accuracy of the bathing time.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明は、浴室内の空調を行う浴室空調システムであって、空気を加熱又は冷却する熱源と、浴室内の空気を吸い込み、吸い込んだ空気を浴室内に吹出して浴室内の空気を循環させる送風手段と、浴室内の温度を検知する室温検知手段と、浴室内の人の存在を検知する人検知手段と、少なくとも人検知手段の検知結果に基づいて所定期間における入浴パターンを学習し、入浴開始時刻を推定して記憶し、記憶した入浴開始時刻に基づく空調の自動制御を含む運転制御を実行可能な制御手段を備えたものにおいて、制御手段には、入浴パターンの学習を禁止する学習禁止時間帯が設定されることを特徴とする。 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is a bathroom air conditioning system for air-conditioning in a bathroom, in which a heat source for heating or cooling air and air in the bathroom are sucked in and the sucked air is blown out into the bathroom. A blowing means for circulating air in the bathroom, a room temperature detecting means for detecting the temperature in the bathroom, a person detecting means for detecting the presence of a person in the bathroom, and at least a predetermined period based on the detection results of the person detecting means. In those provided with control means capable of learning a bathing pattern, estimating and storing a bathing start time, and executing operation control including automatic control of air conditioning based on the stored bathing start time, the control means includes a bathing pattern. It is characterized in that a learning prohibition time zone is set to prohibit the learning of.

本発明によれば、例えば、浴室清掃や衣類乾燥等を行う時間帯を学習禁止時間帯として制御手段に設定できるため、制御手段が、浴室清掃や浴室内に洗濯した衣類を収容する等の、入浴に関与しない浴室へのユーザの入退室を入浴として誤認するのを防止できる。従って、制御手段が実行する入浴時刻の推定精度が向上する。 According to the present invention, for example, a time zone for cleaning the bathroom or drying clothes can be set as a learning prohibited time zone in the control means, so that the control means can clean the bathroom, store washed clothes in the bathroom, or the like. It is possible to prevent the user's entry and exit from the bathroom, which is not involved in bathing, from being mistaken for bathing. Therefore, the accuracy of estimating the bathing time executed by the control means is improved.

また、本発明において、前記学習禁止時間帯は任意に設定変更可能であることが望ましい。これによれば、数多くのユーザに応じた入浴パターンの学習が可能になり、入浴時刻の推定精度がより向上する。 Further, in the present invention, it is desirable that the learning prohibited time zone can be arbitrarily changed. According to this, it becomes possible to learn the bathing pattern according to a large number of users, and the estimation accuracy of the bathing time is further improved.

ところで、前記浴室空調システムであって、前記送風手段が、浴室内の空気を吸い込み、前記熱源で加熱した空気を浴室内に吹き出して、浴室内に収容した衣類を温風乾燥する衣類乾燥運転を実行可能なもので、衣類乾燥運転が実行される場合、浴室へのユーザの入退室は入浴には関与しない。そこで、その場合、本発明において、衣類乾燥運転が実行される直前の所定時間を含む、衣類乾燥運転の完了までの時間が、学習禁止時間帯として前記制御手段に自動設定されることが望ましい。これによれば、衣類乾燥のための浴室へのユーザの入退室を入浴パターンの学習から除外でき、衣類乾燥運転も実行可能な浴室空調システムの入浴時刻の推定精度が向上する。 By the way, in the bathroom air conditioning system, the air blowing means sucks in the air in the bathroom, blows out the air heated by the heat source into the bathroom, and performs a clothes drying operation in which the clothes housed in the bathroom are dried with warm air. If it is feasible and a clothes drying operation is performed, the user's entry and exit into the bathroom is not involved in bathing. Therefore, in that case, in the present invention, it is desirable that the time until the completion of the clothes drying operation, including the predetermined time immediately before the clothes drying operation is executed, is automatically set in the control means as the learning prohibited time zone. According to this, the user's entry and exit from the bathroom for drying clothes can be excluded from the learning of the bathing pattern, and the estimation accuracy of the bathing time of the bathroom air-conditioning system capable of executing the clothes drying operation is improved.

また、１日の最後の入浴後に衣類乾燥運転が実行される場合、学習禁止時間帯の前記自動設定によって、１日の最後の入浴を学習できなくなることがある。そこで、本発明において、１日の最後の入浴後に衣類乾燥運転が実行される場合、前記制御手段は、衣類乾燥運転が実行される直前の所定時間を含む、衣類乾燥運転の完了までの前記時間を学習禁止時間帯に設定しないことが望ましい。これによれば、１日の最後の入浴後に衣類乾燥運転が実行されても、制御手段は、入浴パターンの学習を行って、１日の最後の入浴時刻の推定を確実に行うことができる。 Further, when the clothes drying operation is executed after the last bathing of the day, it may not be possible to learn the last bathing of the day due to the automatic setting of the learning prohibition time zone. Therefore, in the present invention, when the clothes drying operation is executed after the last bathing of the day, the control means is the time until the clothes drying operation is completed, including a predetermined time immediately before the clothes drying operation is executed. It is desirable not to set to the learning prohibited time zone. According to this, even if the clothes drying operation is executed after the last bathing of the day, the control means can learn the bathing pattern and reliably estimate the last bathing time of the day.

It will be in the state of being. Further, the bathroom remote controller 5 and the kitchen remote controller 6 are wiredly connected to the hot water supply device 2, and an input signal by manual operation of the switches 52 and 62 is transmitted to the hot water supply control means 21 by wired communication. Both the hot water supply control means 21 and the bathroom heating control means 34 are composed of a microcomputer provided with a CPU, ROM, RAM, A / D converter, an interface, etc., respectively, for each operation of the hot water supply device 2 and the bathroom heating device 3. The program corresponding to the control is pre-installed.

更に、浴室リモコン５には、浴室暖房装置３の赤外線受発光手段３５と赤外線の送受信が双方向で可能な赤外線受発光手段５３が設けられている。スイッチ５２，６２が手動操作されると、操作内容に対応する入力信号が赤外線受発光手段５３から赤外線受発光手段３５に無線通信で送信される。また、赤外線受発光手段３５からは、制御手段７が実行する運転制御に関わる情報信号が赤外線受発光手段５３に無線通信で送信される。更にまた、浴室リモコン５には、浴室ＢＲ内の温度を検知する室温検知手段としての温度センサ５４と、浴室ＢＲ内の湿度を検知する湿度センサ５５とが設けられてもいる。 Further, the bathroom remote controller 5 is provided with an infrared receiving / emitting means 35 of the bathroom heating device 3 and an infrared receiving / emitting means 53 capable of transmitting / receiving infrared rays in both directions. When the switches 52 and 62 are manually operated, an input signal corresponding to the operation content is transmitted from the infrared receiving / emitting means 53 to the infrared receiving / emitting means 35 by wireless communication. Further, the infrared receiving / emitting light means 35 transmits an information signal related to the operation control executed by the control means 7 to the infrared receiving / emitting light means 53 by wireless communication. Furthermore, the bathroom remote control 5 is also provided with a temperature sensor 54 as a room temperature detecting means for detecting the temperature in the bathroom BR and a humidity sensor 55 for detecting the humidity in the bathroom BR.

また、浴室暖房システム１は、給湯装置２及び浴室暖房装置３の各運転を制御する制御手段７を備え、制御手段７は浴室リモコン５に内蔵されている。制御手段７もまた、給湯制御手段２１及び浴室暖房制御手段３４と同様に、ＣＰＵ，ＲＯＭ，ＲＡＭ，Ａ／Ｄコンバータ、インターフェース等を備えるマイクロコンピュータから構成され、給湯装置２及び浴室暖房装置３の各運転の制御に対応するプログラムが予めインストールされている。 Further, the bathroom heating system 1 includes a control means 7 for controlling each operation of the hot water supply device 2 and the bathroom heating device 3, and the control means 7 is built in the bathroom remote controller 5. The control means 7 is also composed of a microcomputer provided with a CPU, ROM, RAM, A / D converter, an interface, etc., like the hot water supply control means 21 and the bathroom heating control means 34, and is composed of the hot water supply device 2 and the bathroom heating device 3. A program corresponding to the control of each operation is pre-installed.

そして、浴室暖房システム１は、浴室ＢＲ内の人の存在を検知する人検知手段として人感センサ８を備えてもいる。人感センサ８は、浴室扉付近の浴室ＢＲの天井に設置され、浴室ＢＲ内でのユーザの存在を検知する。人感センサ８は、制御手段７と有線接続され、浴室ＢＲ内でユーザの存在を検知したとき、人検知信号を制御手段７に出力する。人感センサ８には、赤外線方式、超音波方式等の各種のものを採用することができる。 The bathroom heating system 1 also includes a motion sensor 8 as a person detecting means for detecting the presence of a person in the bathroom BR. The motion sensor 8 is installed on the ceiling of the bathroom BR near the bathroom door, and detects the presence of the user in the bathroom BR. The motion sensor 8 is wiredly connected to the control means 7, and when it detects the presence of a user in the bathroom BR, it outputs a human detection signal to the control means 7. As the motion sensor 8, various types such as an infrared type and an ultrasonic type can be adopted.

制御手段７は、少なくとも人感センサ８の検知結果に基づいて所定期間（例えば、１日以上）における入浴パターンを学習し、入浴開始時刻を推定して記憶し、記憶した入浴開始時刻に基づく浴室暖房装置３による空調の自動制御を含む運転制御を実行可能である。 The control means 7 learns a bathing pattern in a predetermined period (for example, one day or more) based on at least the detection result of the motion sensor 8, estimates and stores the bathing start time, and stores the bathing based on the stored bathing start time. It is possible to execute operation control including automatic control of air conditioning by the heating device 3.

ところで、上記の如く、人感センサ８の検知結果に基づいて入浴パターンを学習するのでは、例えば、浴室清掃や浴室内に洗濯した衣類を収容する等の、入浴に関与しない浴室ＢＲへのユーザの入退室を入浴として誤認することが起こり得る。 By the way, as described above, if the bathing pattern is learned based on the detection result of the motion sensor 8, the user to the bathroom BR, which is not involved in bathing, for example, cleaning the bathroom or accommodating the washed clothes in the bathroom. It is possible that the entrance and exit of the room may be mistaken for bathing.

そこで、浴室暖房システム１では、ユーザの生活スタイルに応じて入浴に関与しない浴室ＢＲへの入退室を入浴パターンの学習から除くために、制御手段７に入浴パターンの学習を禁止する学習禁止時間帯が設定されるようにしている。学習禁止時間帯の設定は、例えば、ユーザが脱衣室リモコン３６を手動操作することにより行うことができる。浴室暖房装置３の停止中に、図２に示す設定スイッチ３６ｆをＯＮにすると、表示画面３６ａには、入浴パターンの学習禁止に関する設定コードと、学習開始禁止時間帯の開始時刻（例えば１０：００）とが表示される（図示省略）。設定コードは所定時間点滅し、この点滅中に時刻変更スイッチ３６ｈ１，３６ｈ２を操作して開始時刻を変更して所望の開始時刻を入力する。すると、入力した開始時刻が点滅し、誤りがなければ決定スイッチ３６ｇをＯＮにする。この時、学習禁止時間帯の開始時刻が、図１に示す浴室暖房制御手段３４を介して制御手段７に送信され、設定される。次いで、学習禁止時間帯の終了時刻の設定を行う。この終了時刻の設定は、設定コードが異なるだけで上記開始時刻の設定と手順は同じである。設定された学習禁止時間帯も制御手段７に設定される。制御手段７に設定された学習禁止時間帯は、ユーザによる変更操作がなされない限り、維持される。尚、学習禁止時間帯を変更する場合は、上記と同じ手順で脱衣室リモコン３６を操作すればよい。 Therefore, in the bathroom heating system 1, in order to exclude the entry and exit of the bathroom BR, which is not involved in bathing, from the learning of the bathing pattern according to the lifestyle of the user, the learning prohibition time zone in which the learning of the bathing pattern is prohibited by the control means 7. Is set. The learning prohibition time zone can be set, for example, by the user manually operating the dressing room remote controller 36. When the setting switch 36f shown in FIG. 2 is turned on while the bathroom heating device 3 is stopped, the display screen 36a shows a setting code for prohibiting learning of the bathing pattern and a start time of the learning start prohibition time zone (for example, 10:00). ) Is displayed (not shown). The setting code blinks for a predetermined time, and during this blinking, the time change switches 36h 1 and 36h 2 are operated to change the start time and input the desired start time. Then, the input start time blinks, and if there is no error, the determination switch 36g is turned on. At this time, the start time of the learning prohibition time zone is transmitted to the control means 7 via the bathroom heating control means 34 shown in FIG. 1 and is set. Next, the end time of the learning prohibited time zone is set. The procedure for setting the end time is the same as that for setting the start time, except that the setting code is different. The set learning prohibition time zone is also set in the control means 7. The learning prohibition time zone set in the control means 7 is maintained unless a change operation is performed by the user. When changing the learning prohibited time zone, the dressing room remote controller 36 may be operated in the same procedure as described above.

こうして、脱衣室リモコン３６を手動操作してユーザは、例えば、浴室清掃や衣類乾燥等を行う、９：００〜１７：００等の時間帯を、制御手段７による入浴パターンの学習禁止時間帯に設定することができる。このため、制御手段７が、浴室清掃や浴室内に洗濯した衣類を収容する等の、入浴に関与しない浴室へのユーザの入退室を入浴として誤認するのを防止できる。従って、制御手段７が実行する入浴時刻の推定精度が向上する。また、学習禁止時間帯は任意に設定変更が可能である。このため、数多くのユーザに応じた入浴パターンの学習が可能になり、入浴時刻の推定精度がより向上する。 In this way, the user manually operates the undressing room remote controller 36 to set a time zone such as 9:00 to 17:00, for example, cleaning the bathroom or drying clothes, to a time zone during which learning of the bathing pattern by the control means 7 is prohibited. Can be set. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the control means 7 from misidentifying the user's entry / exit into the bathroom, which is not involved in bathing, such as cleaning the bathroom or accommodating the washed clothes in the bathroom as bathing. Therefore, the accuracy of estimating the bathing time executed by the control means 7 is improved. In addition, the learning prohibited time zone can be arbitrarily changed. Therefore, it becomes possible to learn the bathing pattern according to a large number of users, and the accuracy of estimating the bathing time is further improved.

尚、本願で言及する「学習禁止時間帯」は、上記の如く、脱衣室リモコン３６を操作してユーザが制御手段７に設定する学習禁止時間帯と、制御手段７が自動設定する、後述の学習禁止時間帯との両方を含む。 As described above, the "learning prohibited time zone" referred to in the present application includes a learning prohibited time zone set by the user in the control means 7 by operating the undressing room remote controller 36 and a learning prohibited time zone automatically set by the control means 7, which will be described later. Includes both learning prohibited hours.

次に、図３を参照して、浴室暖房システム１の制御手段７が実行する入浴パターンの学習について説明する。図１に示す浴室リモコン５又は台所リモコン６の電源スイッチ５２ａ，６２ａのいずれか一方がユーザの手動操作によってＯＮにされると、給湯制御手段２１及び浴室暖房制御手段３４を介して給湯装置２及び浴室暖房装置３に電力が供給され、両装置２，３は待機状態になる。 Next, with reference to FIG. 3, learning of the bathing pattern executed by the control means 7 of the bathroom heating system 1 will be described. When either one of the power switches 52a and 62a of the bathroom remote controller 5 or the bathroom remote controller 6 shown in FIG. 1 is turned on by a manual operation by the user, the hot water supply device 2 and the hot water supply device 2 and the bathroom heating control means 34 are used. Power is supplied to the bathroom heating device 3, and both devices 2 and 3 are in a standby state.

この後、制御手段７は、現在の時刻が予め設定された学習禁止時間帯に含まれるか否かの判定を行う（ＳＴＥＰ１）。現在の時刻が学習禁止時間帯に含まれていれば、学習禁止時間帯を過ぎるまで同様の判定を繰り返す。一方、現在の時刻が学習禁止時間帯に含まれていなければ、ＳＴＥＰ２に移行する。人検知信号が入力されると、ＳＴＥＰ３に移行し、制御手段７は、人感センサ８が浴室ＢＲ内でユーザの存在を検知した時刻Ｔを記憶すると共に、時刻Ｔにおける浴室リモコン５の湿度センサ５５が検知した絶対湿度を初期絶対湿度Ｍ０として記憶する。本実施形態では、絶対湿度は容積絶対湿度であり、単位はｇ／ｍ３にしている。一方、ＳＴＥＰ２において人検知信号が入力されない場合はＳＴＥＰ１に戻る。 After that, the control means 7 determines whether or not the current time is included in the preset learning prohibition time zone (STEP 1). If the current time is included in the learning prohibition time zone, the same determination is repeated until the learning prohibition time zone has passed. On the other hand, if the current time is not included in the learning prohibited time zone, the process proceeds to STEP2. When the person detection signal is input, the process proceeds to STEP3, and the control means 7 stores the time T when the human sensor 8 detects the presence of the user in the bathroom BR, and the humidity sensor of the bathroom remote controller 5 at the time T. The absolute humidity detected by 55 is stored as the initial absolute humidity M0. In the present embodiment, the absolute humidity is the volume absolute humidity, and the unit is g / m 3 . On the other hand, if no human detection signal is input in STEP2, the process returns to STEP1.

続いて、制御手段７は、人感センサ８による人検知信号の入力が継続される限り、記憶した時刻Ｔからの経過時間、即ち、ユーザの浴室ＢＲ内での滞在時間を積算すると共に、所定時間（本実施形態では、例えば７分間）、湿度センサ５５が検知した検知湿度の内、最大絶対湿度Ｍ１を記憶する（ＳＴＥＰ４）。そして、制御手段７は入浴判定を行う。本実施形態では、制御手段７による入浴判定は第１系統及び第２系統の２系統で行うようにしている。第１系統は、第１所定時間以上の滞在時間且つ最大絶対湿度Ｍ１と初期絶対湿度Ｍ０との差（Ｍ１−Ｍ０）が所定値以上であるか否かの判定である（ＳＴＥＰ５）。第２系統は、上記第１系統で否と判定された場合の、ユーザの浴室滞在時間が第２所定時間以上であるか否かの判定である（ＳＴＥＰ６）。 Subsequently, the control means 7 integrates the elapsed time from the stored time T, that is, the staying time in the bathroom BR of the user, as long as the input of the human detection signal by the motion sensor 8 is continued, and determines the predetermined time. The maximum absolute humidity M1 of the detected humidity detected by the humidity sensor 55 is stored for a time (for example, 7 minutes in this embodiment) (STEP 4). Then, the control means 7 makes a bathing determination. In the present embodiment, the bathing determination by the control means 7 is performed by two systems, the first system and the second system. The first system is a determination of whether or not the staying time of the first predetermined time or more and the difference (M1-M0) between the maximum absolute humidity M1 and the initial absolute humidity M0 is equal to or more than a predetermined value (STEP 5). The second system is a determination as to whether or not the user's bathroom stay time is equal to or longer than the second predetermined time when it is determined to be negative in the first system (STEP 6).

第１系統の入浴判定では、浴室滞在の第１所定時間を７分間、最大絶対湿度Ｍ１と初期絶対湿度Ｍ０との差（Ｍ１−Ｍ０）を５ｇ／ｍ３に設定し、第２系統の入浴判定では、第２所定時間を１０分間に設定している。これらの第１所定時間、第２所定時間及び最大絶対湿度Ｍ１と初期絶対湿度Ｍ０との差（Ｍ１−Ｍ０）は、入浴に関する一般的な傾向から推測されるサンプルデータであり、制御手段７に記憶されている。浴室ＢＲへのユーザの入室目的は、入浴、浴室清掃、洗濯物の浴室乾燥等に分類することができ、定性的ではあるが、入浴の場合、他の目的の入室と比較して滞在時間が長く、湯水の使用量が多い等の理由により絶対湿度が高いという傾向にある。この傾向に基づいて第１所定時間、第２所定時間及び最大絶対湿度Ｍ１と初期絶対湿度Ｍ０との差（Ｍ１−Ｍ０）が設定される。従って、上記各数値はあくまで例示であって、別の数値であっても構わない。 In the bathing judgment of the first system, the first predetermined time of staying in the bathroom is set to 7 minutes, the difference (M1-M0) between the maximum absolute humidity M1 and the initial absolute humidity M0 is set to 5 g / m 3, and the bathing of the second system is performed. In the determination, the second predetermined time is set to 10 minutes. These first predetermined time, second predetermined time, and the difference (M1-M0) between the maximum absolute humidity M1 and the initial absolute humidity M0 are sample data estimated from the general tendency regarding bathing, and the control means 7 can be used. It is remembered. The purpose of the user's entry into the bathroom BR can be classified into bathing, bathroom cleaning, bathroom drying of laundry, etc. Although it is qualitative, in the case of bathing, the staying time is compared with the entry for other purposes. Absolute humidity tends to be high because it is long and the amount of hot water used is large. Based on this tendency, the first predetermined time, the second predetermined time, and the difference (M1-M0) between the maximum absolute humidity M1 and the initial absolute humidity M0 are set. Therefore, each of the above numerical values is merely an example, and may be another numerical value.

ＳＴＥＰ５で入浴であると判定したとき、制御手段７は、先に記憶した時刻Ｔを入浴時刻として記憶し直す。このとき、過去に１回でも時刻Ｔに近い時刻を入浴時刻であると記憶した場合や、１日の内に複数回の入浴が行われる場合、１回目、２回目等の同一回目の入浴時刻である場合等では、記憶した入浴開始時刻を例えば平均値の算出等の統計処理を実行して次回の入浴時刻を推定する（ＳＴＥＰ７）。そして、制御手段７は、人感センサ８から人検知信号の入力が継続される（退室検知）か否かを判定し（ＳＴＥＰ８）、人検知信号が所定時間（例えば１０分間）入力されなかったとき、入浴者の退室であると判断して（ＳＴＥＰ９）、ＳＴＥＰ１に戻る。一方、人感センサ８から人検知信号の入力が継続されたときは、ＳＴＥＰ４に戻る。 When it is determined in STEP 5 that the bathing is performed, the control means 7 re-stores the previously stored time T as the bathing time. At this time, if the time close to the time T is memorized as the bathing time even once in the past, or if the bathing is performed multiple times in a day, the same bathing time such as the first time, the second time, etc. In this case, the stored bathing start time is estimated by executing statistical processing such as calculation of an average value (STEP 7). Then, the control means 7 determines whether or not the input of the human detection signal is continued (exit detection) from the motion sensor 8 (STEP 8), and the human detection signal is not input for a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes). At that time, it is determined that the bather has left the room (STEP 9), and the process returns to STEP 1. On the other hand, when the input of the human detection signal from the motion sensor 8 is continued, the process returns to STEP4.

ＳＴＥＰ５で入浴ではないと判定したとき、即ち、第１系統で入浴ではないと判定したときは、ＳＴＥＰ６に移行し、第２系統での入浴判定を行う。ユーザの浴室滞在時間が第２所定時間未満である場合、制御手段７は入浴ではないと判定し、ＳＴＥＰ８に移行する。一方、滞在時間が第２所定時間以上である場合、制御手段７は入浴であると判定する。然し、ユーザの生活スタイルによっては、１日の最後の入浴後に浴室ＢＲ内で衣類乾燥することもあり得る。そこで、制御手段７は、入浴であると判定した後、衣類乾燥運転が開始され、且つ入浴が１日の最後の入浴ではないか否かを判定する（ＳＴＥＰ１０）。 When it is determined that the bathing is not performed in STEP 5, that is, when it is determined that the bathing is not performed in the first system, the process proceeds to STEP 6 and the bathing determination in the second system is performed. When the user's staying time in the bathroom is less than the second predetermined time, the control means 7 determines that it is not bathing and shifts to STEP 8. On the other hand, when the staying time is equal to or longer than the second predetermined time, the control means 7 determines that the bathing is performed. However, depending on the user's lifestyle, clothes may dry in the bathroom BR after the last bath of the day. Therefore, after determining that the bathing is performed, the control means 7 determines whether or not the clothes drying operation is started and the bathing is not the last bathing of the day (STEP 10).

ＳＴＥＰ１０で、衣類乾燥運転が実行されない場合、１日の最後の入浴であるか否かに関係なく、入浴に相違ないので、ＳＴＥＰ７に移行する。一方、衣類乾燥運転が実行された場合、１日の最後の入浴ではないとき、制御手段７は、浴室ＢＲへのユーザの入室は、入浴によるものではなく、衣類乾燥のためであり、入浴ではないと判定し、ＳＴＥＰ１１に移行する。ＳＴＥＰ１１では、制御手段７は、時刻Ｔの記憶を削除して、衣類乾燥運転が実行される直前の時間（本実施形態ではＳＴＥＰ６での入浴判定に要する１０分間）を含む衣類乾燥運転終了までを学習禁止時間帯として自動設定する。この学習禁止時間帯は、本来、入浴パターンの学習時間帯であるが、制御手段７は入浴パターンの学習を行わない。制御手段７が自動設定する上記学習禁止時間帯としては、５時間〜６時間が例示される。 If the clothes drying operation is not performed in STEP 10, the bathing must be performed regardless of whether or not it is the last bath of the day, so the process proceeds to STEP 7. On the other hand, when the clothes drying operation is performed, when it is not the last bathing of the day, the control means 7 means that the user's entry into the bathroom BR is not due to bathing but for clothes drying, and in bathing. It is determined that there is no such thing, and the process proceeds to STEP 11. In STEP 11, the control means 7 deletes the memory of the time T and waits until the end of the clothes drying operation including the time immediately before the clothes drying operation is executed (10 minutes required for the bathing determination in STEP 6 in this embodiment). Automatically set as a learning prohibited time zone. This learning prohibited time zone is originally a bathing pattern learning time zone, but the control means 7 does not learn the bathing pattern. Examples of the learning prohibition time zone automatically set by the control means 7 are 5 hours to 6 hours.

ＳＴＥＰ１１の後はＳＴＥＰ９に移行する。浴室ＢＲへのユーザの入室は、衣類乾燥運転を実行することを目的とするものであり、衣類乾燥運転を開始した後、ユーザは当然浴室ＢＲから退室するため、ＳＴＥＰ１１の後、退室検知の判定であるＳＴＥＰ８には移行せず、ＳＴＥＰ９に移行して退室と判断する。 After STEP11, it shifts to STEP9. The user's entry into the bathroom BR is intended to execute the clothes drying operation, and the user naturally leaves the bathroom BR after starting the clothes drying operation. Therefore, after STEP 11, the determination of exit detection is made. It is determined that the room is left after moving to STEP 9 without moving to STEP 8.

ところで、衣類乾燥運転が１日の最後の入浴後に引き続いて行われると、衣類乾燥運転の開始時刻が、制御手段７が自動設定する学習禁止時間帯に含まれるため、制御手段７は、ＳＴＥＰ１１によって１日の最後の入浴を学習することができなくなる。１日の最後の入浴後に衣類乾燥運転が行われる状況としては、１日の最後の入浴の後、図１に示す浴室リモコン５に図外の衣類乾燥運転スイッチが設けられており、この衣類乾燥運転スイッチが入浴者によりＯＮにされたり、又は他者等により図２に示す脱衣室リモコン３６の衣類乾燥運転スイッチ３６ｉがＯＮにされたりする等が例示される。そこで、制御手段７は、１日の最後の入浴である場合、引き続いて衣類乾燥運転が実行されると、衣類乾燥運転が実行される直前の所定時間を含む、衣類乾燥運転の完了までの時間を学習禁止時間帯に設定しない。従って、１日の最後の入浴後に衣類乾燥運転が実行されても、制御手段７は１日の最後の入浴を確実に学習することができる。そして、ＳＴＥＰ７に移行する。 By the way, when the clothes drying operation is continuously performed after the last bathing of the day, the start time of the clothes drying operation is included in the learning prohibition time zone automatically set by the control means 7, so that the control means 7 is set by STEP 11. You will not be able to learn the last bath of the day. As a situation in which the clothes drying operation is performed after the last bathing of the day, after the last bathing of the day, the bathroom remote controller 5 shown in FIG. 1 is provided with a clothes drying operation switch (not shown), and the clothes drying operation is provided. Examples thereof include turning on the operation switch by a bather, or turning on the clothes drying operation switch 36i of the dressing room remote controller 36 shown in FIG. 2 by another person or the like. Therefore, in the case of the last bathing of the day, when the clothes drying operation is subsequently executed, the control means 7 is the time until the clothes drying operation is completed, including the predetermined time immediately before the clothes drying operation is executed. Is not set in the learning prohibited time zone. Therefore, even if the clothes drying operation is executed after the last bath of the day, the control means 7 can surely learn the last bath of the day. Then, it shifts to STEP7.

尚、１日の最後の入浴であるか否かは、例えば、記憶した入浴開始時刻Ｔの内の最後の時刻であるか否か、１日の入浴回数の内の最終回であるか否か等によって制御手段７は判定することができる。また、制御手段７が自動設定する学習禁止時間帯は当日限り有効であり、翌日には自動的に削除される。 Whether or not it is the last bathing in a day is, for example, whether or not it is the last time in the memorized bathing start time T, or whether or not it is the last bathing in the number of times of bathing in a day. The control means 7 can be determined by the above. Further, the learning prohibition time zone automatically set by the control means 7 is valid only on the current day, and is automatically deleted on the next day.

上記の如く、本実施形態では、衣類乾燥運転が実行される場合、衣類乾燥運転が実行される直前の所定時間を含む、衣類乾燥運転の完了までの時間を学習禁止時間帯として制御手段７に自動設定される。これによれば、衣類乾燥のための浴室ＢＲへのユーザの入退室を入浴パターンの学習から除外でき、衣類乾燥運転も実行可能な浴室空調システムの入浴時刻の推定精度が向上する。 As described above, in the present embodiment, when the clothes drying operation is executed, the control means 7 uses the time until the completion of the clothes drying operation as the learning prohibition time zone, including the predetermined time immediately before the clothes drying operation is executed. It is set automatically. According to this, the user's entry / exit to / from the bathroom BR for drying clothes can be excluded from the learning of the bathing pattern, and the accuracy of estimating the bathing time of the bathroom air-conditioning system capable of performing the clothes drying operation is improved.

また、１日の最後の入浴後に衣類乾燥運転が実行される場合、制御手段７は、衣類乾燥運転が実行される直前の所定時間を含む、衣類乾燥運転の完了までの時間を学習禁止時間帯に設定しない。このため、１日の最後の入浴後に衣類乾燥運転が実行されても、制御手段７は、入浴パターンの学習を行って、１日の最後の入浴時刻の推定を確実に行うことができる。 When the clothes drying operation is executed after the last bath of the day, the control means 7 determines the time until the clothes drying operation is completed, including the predetermined time immediately before the clothes drying operation is executed, as the learning prohibition time zone. Do not set to. Therefore, even if the clothes drying operation is executed after the last bathing of the day, the control means 7 can learn the bathing pattern and reliably estimate the last bathing time of the day.

そして、浴室暖房システム１では、制御手段７が実行する浴室暖房装置３の暖房運転（空調運転）の制御は、例えば、温度センサ５４が検知する浴室ＢＲ内の温度に基づいて、推定した入浴開始時刻までに浴室ＢＲ内の温度を入浴者に冷感を感じさせない温度にまで調整する自動制御等が可能である。上記暖房運転の自動制御は、図２に示す自動暖房運転スイッチ３６ｂをＯＮにすることによって実行される。 Then, in the bathroom heating system 1, the control of the heating operation (air conditioning operation) of the bathroom heating device 3 executed by the control means 7 is, for example, an estimated bathing start based on the temperature in the bathroom BR detected by the temperature sensor 54. Automatic control or the like is possible to adjust the temperature in the bathroom BR to a temperature that does not make the bather feel cold by the time. The automatic control of the heating operation is executed by turning on the automatic heating operation switch 36b shown in FIG.

以上、本発明を一実施形態に関して説明したが、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されない。例えば、給湯装置２には、電気給湯器若しくはヒートポンプの単体又はこれらとガス給湯暖房機等とのハイブリッド熱源機を採用してもよい。更に、浴室暖房装置３の熱源には、電気ヒータを用いてもよい。この場合、図１に示す第２往き管４４及び戻り管４５を省略できる。更にまた、浴室暖房装置３用の熱源には、空気を加熱するものばかりでなく、冷却するもの又はこれらの両方を採用することができる。空気を冷却する熱源を用いる場合、浴室暖房装置３は浴室ＢＲ内を冷房でき、浴室暖房システム１は浴室冷房システムに変更される。空気を加熱する熱源と空気を冷却する熱源との両方を用いる場合、浴室暖房装置３は浴室ＢＲ内を冷暖房でき、例えば、浴室暖房装置３には、室内機と室外機とからなるエアコンを採用することができる。この場合、浴室暖房システム１は浴室空調システムに変更される。 Although the present invention has been described above with respect to one embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the hot water supply device 2 may employ a single electric water heater or heat pump, or a hybrid heat source machine of these and a gas hot water heater or the like. Further, an electric heater may be used as the heat source of the bathroom heating device 3. In this case, the second forward pipe 44 and the return pipe 45 shown in FIG. 1 can be omitted. Furthermore, as the heat source for the bathroom heating device 3, not only the one that heats the air, but also the one that cools the air, or both of them can be adopted. When a heat source for cooling air is used, the bathroom heating device 3 can cool the inside of the bathroom BR, and the bathroom heating system 1 is changed to the bathroom cooling system. When both a heat source for heating air and a heat source for cooling air are used, the bathroom heating device 3 can cool and heat the inside of the bathroom BR. For example, the bathroom heating device 3 employs an air conditioner consisting of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. can do. In this case, the bathroom heating system 1 is changed to a bathroom air conditioning system.

加えて、温度センサ５４、湿度センサ５５及び人感センサ８は、検知対象を確実に検知できる限り、特に設置場所は制限されない。例えば、浴室暖房装置３の内部に設置しても構わない。更に、浴室暖房装置３には、給湯装置２と有線でインテリジェント通信できるものも採用できる。この場合、赤外線受発光手段３５，５３は不要になり、浴室リモコン５又は台所リモコン６のいずれか一方のスイッチ５２，６２がユーザによる手動操作でＯＮにされると、浴室暖房装置３の浴室暖房制御手段３４への制御信号を給湯装置２の給湯制御手段２１経由で送信できる。 In addition, the temperature sensor 54, the humidity sensor 55, and the motion sensor 8 are not particularly limited in the installation location as long as the detection target can be reliably detected. For example, it may be installed inside the bathroom heating device 3. Further, as the bathroom heating device 3, a device capable of intelligent communication with the hot water supply device 2 by wire can be adopted. In this case, the infrared receiving and emitting means 35 and 53 are no longer required, and when the switches 52 and 62 of either the bathroom remote controller 5 or the kitchen remote controller 6 are manually turned on by the user, the bathroom heating of the bathroom heating device 3 is performed. A control signal to the control means 34 can be transmitted via the hot water supply control means 21 of the hot water supply device 2.

そして、制御手段７は、台所リモコン６又は浴室暖房装置３等に内蔵されてもよく、浴室暖房装置３に内蔵される場合、制御手段７は浴室暖房制御手段３４に併合可能である。更に、浴室暖房装置３は、ワイヤレスリモコンでも操作可能である。この場合、浴室暖房装置３をＩｏＴにすることも可能であり、携帯情報端末と制御手段７とを通信可能にして、携帯情報端末にインストールした空調システム用のアプリを起動させることによって携帯情報端末をワイヤレスリモコンとして使用できる。また、ＩｏＴは浴室暖房装置３を対象とするばかりでなく、給湯装置２も対象とすることができ、従って、浴室暖房システム１及び浴室冷房システムを含む浴室空調システム全体をＩｏＴにすることもできる。 The control means 7 may be built in the kitchen remote controller 6 or the bathroom heating device 3, and when the control means 7 is built in the bathroom heating device 3, the control means 7 can be merged with the bathroom heating control means 34. Further, the bathroom heating device 3 can also be operated by a wireless remote controller. In this case, the bathroom heating device 3 can be set to IoT, and the mobile information terminal can communicate with the control means 7 and the mobile information terminal is activated by activating the application for the air conditioning system installed on the mobile information terminal. Can be used as a wireless remote control. Further, the IoT can not only target the bathroom heating device 3, but also the hot water supply device 2, and therefore, the entire bathroom air conditioning system including the bathroom heating system 1 and the bathroom cooling system can be targeted to the IoT. ..
