Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、主として家庭用の浴室暖房機能付きの給湯付風呂釜に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
浴室暖房機能を有した給湯付風呂釜では、浴槽への湯張り操作は、浴室又は台所の壁面に取付けられた風呂釜用遠隔制御装置により操作し、その予約操作も風呂釜用遠隔制御装置で行い、湯張り予約操作は、風呂釜用遠隔制御装置に時計機能を有しており、予め入浴したい時刻を設定し、その設定時刻になったら入浴できるといったものが一般的であり、一方、浴室の暖房操作は、前記の風呂釜用遠隔制御装置とは別の暖房端末機用遠隔制御装置を有し、暖房操作やその予約操作も暖房端末機用遠隔制御装置で行っており、また、暖房機能の予約操作においては、暖房端末機用遠隔制御装置において操作したときから何時間後かに動作するオンタイマーが一般的であって、このように風呂釜用と暖房端末機用との二つの遠隔制御装置を設けて、これをそれぞれ操作することで浴槽への湯張りや浴室の暖房を行うようにした浴室暖房機能付きの給湯装置が知られている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。
【０００３】
しかし、冬季などの外気温が低いときに、浴槽への湯張り予約と同時に浴室も暖房したい場合に、従来の技術で述べた給湯装置では、先ず風呂釜用遠隔制御装置にて浴槽への湯張り時刻を設定し、次に暖房端末機用遠隔制御装置で、現在時刻から入浴時刻までの時間を計算し暖房機能の動作時刻を算出した上で、オンタイマーを設定しなければならず、二つの遠隔制御装置の操作を必要とするとともに、暖房予約については動作させる時刻を使用者が計算して設定する必要があり、浴槽への湯張り予約と同時に浴室暖房を予約する場合の操作が煩雑となる問題を有していた。

【０００８】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明において浴室の暖房機能を有する給湯付風呂釜は、浴槽への湯張りのための給湯用燃焼部及び追焚きのための追焚き用燃焼部を備える構造の給湯付風呂釜で、この給湯付風呂釜の風呂釜本体には、ファン、給湯バーナ（給湯用燃焼部）及び風呂バーナ（追焚き用燃焼部）、浴槽水を強制循環させる循環ポンプ、給湯用熱交換器及び追焚き用熱交換器等が設けられ、風呂釜本体に設置される配管接続部としての往き湯口及び戻り湯口と浴室に設置される浴槽の循環口とを往き管と戻り管ならなる循環路（循環配管）で接続して、風呂釜本体と浴槽との間を湯水が循環できるようにする。
浴室を暖房するための暖房端末機には、暖房用熱交換器及び送風機構等が内蔵され、この暖房端末機は主に浴室の天井部又は壁面部に設置される。
上記の循環路の途中には切替機構が設けられ、この切替機構により、循環湯水が浴槽へ行くか、もしくは暖房端末機へ行くかを切替える。
【０００９】
上記の風呂釜本体には制御装置が内蔵され、この制御装置には、浴室もしくは台所の壁面に取付けられた遠隔制御装置が接続されて、遠隔制御装置において浴槽への湯張りや暖房操作などをするものである。
遠隔制御装置の操作パネルについて実施例の図２を用いて説明すると、上部に給湯の温度表示と風呂の温度表示が表示され、その中央には現在時刻を表示する時計表示部２０を有する。この表示部の下段には、風呂釜本体の運転入／切を行う運転スイッチ２１と、浴槽への湯張り動作を行う湯張りスイッチ２２と、浴槽の追焚を行う追焚スイッチ２３と、浴室を暖房端末機で暖める暖房スイッチ２４が配置される。さらに、上記動作スイッチの下段には、給湯温度を設定する「上げる」「下げる」の給湯温度設定スイッチ２５と、風呂の追焚温度を設定する「上げる」「下げる」の追炊温度設定スイッチ２６と、現在時刻を設定する時計スイッチ２８と、湯張り予約時刻を設定する予約スイッチ２９などが設けられる。
