特開２０１２－２２００６１号公報JP 2012-220061 A

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。 In general, in a bathroom air-conditioning system, in addition to heating the bathroom, drying the bathroom, drying clothes in the bathroom, etc. are performed. learning, for example, entering and exiting a bathroom that is not involved in bathing, such as cleaning the bathroom or storing washed clothes in the bathroom, may be misidentified as bathing. As a result, the estimation accuracy of the bathing start time is affected to some extent.

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。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a bathroom air-conditioning system capable of improving the accuracy of bathing time estimation.

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 provides a bathroom air-conditioning system for air-conditioning a bathroom, comprising: a heat source for heating or cooling air; A blower means for circulating air in the bathroom, a room temperature detection means for detecting the temperature in the bathroom, a human detection means for detecting the presence of a person in the bathroom, and at least a predetermined period based on the detection result of the human detection means. In the apparatus 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. A learning prohibition time zone is set to prohibit learning of the

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, it is possible to set a time zone for cleaning the bathroom, drying clothes, etc. as a learning prohibition time zone in the control means. It is possible to prevent misidentification as bathing of a user entering and leaving a bathroom that is not involved in bathing. Therefore, the accuracy of bathing time estimation 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 setting of the learning prohibition time period can be changed arbitrarily. According to this, it is possible to learn bathing patterns according to a large number of users, and the accuracy of estimating 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 draws in the air in the bathroom and blows out the air heated by the heat source into the bathroom to dry the clothes accommodated in the bathroom with hot air. If feasible and a clothes drying operation is performed, the user's entry and exit from the bathroom does not involve bathing. In this case, in the present invention, it is desirable that the control means automatically sets the time until the clothes drying operation is completed, including the predetermined time immediately before the clothes drying operation is performed, as the learning prohibition time period. According to this, it is possible to exclude the entry and exit of the user to the bathroom for drying the clothes from the learning of the bathing pattern, and the accuracy of estimating 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, the automatic setting of the learning prohibition time zone may prevent learning of the last bathing of the day. Therefore, in the present invention, when the clothes drying operation is executed after the last bath of the day, the control means controls the time until the clothes drying operation is completed, including the predetermined time immediately before the clothes drying operation is executed. should not be set in the learning prohibited time period. According to this, even if the clothes drying operation is performed 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.

The stop switch 36e also serves as a switch for stopping the clothes drying operation and the bathroom drying operation.

図１に戻って、浴室暖房システム１は、浴室ＢＲの内壁面に設置される浴室リモコン５と、台所の内壁面に設置される台所リモコン６とを備えている。浴室リモコン５及び台所リモコン６は共に、湯水の設定温度、現在の時刻等を表示する表示画面５１，６１と、給湯装置２及び浴室暖房装置３の各運転を、ユーザの手動操作により開始若しくは停止させ、又は調整する各種のスイッチ５２，６２とを備えている。これらのスイッチ５２，６２の中に、給湯装置２及び浴室暖房装置３への電力供給を開始又は停止させる電源スイッチ５２ａ，６２ａ、給湯装置２に浴槽ＢＴの湯張りを行わせる自動湯張りスイッチ５２ｂ，６２ｂ等が設けられている。 Returning to FIG. 1, the bathroom heating system 1 includes a bathroom remote controller 5 installed on the inner wall surface of the bathroom BR and a kitchen remote controller 6 installed on the inner wall surface of the kitchen. Both the bathroom remote controller 5 and the kitchen remote controller 6 have display screens 51 and 61 that display the set temperature of hot water and the current time, etc., and start or stop each operation of the hot water supply device 2 and the bathroom heating device 3 by manual operation of the user. Various switches 52, 62 are provided for turning on or adjusting. Among these switches 52, 62 are power switches 52a, 62a for starting or stopping power supply to the water heater 2 and bathroom heater 3, and an automatic hot-water filling switch 52b for causing the water heater 2 to fill the bathtub BT with hot water. , 62b, etc. are provided.

浴室リモコン５及び台所リモコン６は互いに連動し、スイッチ５２，６２は、浴室リモコン５又は台所リモコン６のいずれか一方でユーザにより手動操作されると、浴室リモコン５及び台所リモコン６の両方が同時に操作された状態になる。また、浴室リモコン５及び台所リモコン６は給湯装置２と有線接続され、スイッチ５２，６２の手動操作による入力信号が給湯制御手段２１に有線通信で送信される。給湯制御手段２１及び浴室暖房制御手段３４は共に、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、夫々には、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。 The bathroom remote controller 5 and the kitchen remote controller 6 are interlocked with each other, and when the switches 52 and 62 are manually operated by the user on either the bathroom remote controller 5 or the kitchen remote controller 6, both the bathroom remote controller 5 and the kitchen remote controller 6 are operated simultaneously. state. The bathroom remote controller 5 and the kitchen remote controller 6 are connected to the hot water supply apparatus 2 by wire, and an input signal by manual operation of the switches 52 and 62 is transmitted to the hot water supply control means 21 by wire communication. The hot water supply control means 21 and the bathroom heating control means 34 are both composed of a microcomputer having a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, an A/D converter, an interface, and the like, and each of the hot water supply device 2 and the bathroom heating device 3 is operated. A program that supports 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。 Furthermore, the bathroom remote controller 5 is provided with an infrared light receiving/emitting means 53 capable of bidirectionally transmitting and receiving infrared rays with the infrared light receiving/emitting means 35 of the bathroom heater 3 . When the switches 52 and 62 are manually operated, an input signal corresponding to the contents of the operation is transmitted from the infrared light receiving/emitting means 53 to the infrared light receiving/emitting means 35 by wireless communication. Information signals related to the operation control executed by the control means 7 are transmitted from the infrared light receiving/emitting means 35 to the infrared light receiving/emitting means 53 by wireless communication. Furthermore, the bathroom remote controller 5 is provided with a temperature sensor 54 as room temperature detection 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。 The bathroom heating system 1 also 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 . Similarly to the hot water supply control means 21 and the bathroom heating control means 34, the control means 7 is also composed of a microcomputer equipped with a CPU, ROM, RAM, A/D converter, interface, etc. A program corresponding to control of each operation is installed in advance.

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 human sensor 8 as a human detection means for detecting the presence of a person in the bathroom BR. A human 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 human sensor 8 is connected to the control means 7 by wire, and outputs a human detection signal to the control means 7 when detecting the presence of a user in the bathroom BR. Various sensors such as an infrared sensor and an ultrasonic sensor can be used for the human sensor 8 .

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 the bathing pattern for a predetermined period (for example, one day or more) based on at least the detection result of the human sensor 8, estimates and stores the bathing start time, and controls the bathroom based on the stored bathing start time. Operation control including automatic control of air conditioning by the heating device 3 can be executed.

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 human sensor 8, it is difficult for the user to access the bathroom BR that is not involved in bathing, such as cleaning the bathroom or storing washed clothes in the bathroom. entering and leaving the room may be misidentified as 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 from the learning of the bathing pattern the entering and exiting of the bathroom BR which is not involved in bathing according to the user's lifestyle, the control means 7 is prohibited from learning the bathing pattern during the learning prohibition time period. is set. For example, the user can manually operate the changing room remote control 36 to set the learning prohibited time zone. When the setting switch 36f shown in FIG. 2 is turned ON while the bathroom heater 3 is stopped, the display screen 36a displays a setting code relating to prohibition of learning of the bathing pattern and the start time of the learning start prohibition period (for example, 10:00). ) is displayed (not shown). The setting code blinks for a predetermined time, and during this blinking time change switches 36h 1 and 36h 2 are operated to change the start time and input a desired start time. Then, the input start time blinks, and if there is no error, the decision switch 36g is turned on. At this time, the start time of the learning prohibition period is transmitted to the control means 7 via the bathroom heating control means 34 shown in FIG. 1 and set. Next, the end time of the learning prohibited time period 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 period set in the control means 7 is maintained unless the user performs a change operation. To change the learning prohibition time zone, the changing room remote controller 36 can be operated in the same procedure as 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, by manually operating the dressing room remote controller 36, the user can, for example, set the bathing pattern learning prohibition time zone, such as 9:00 to 17:00, for cleaning the bathroom and drying clothes. can be set. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the control unit 7 from erroneously recognizing that the user enters and exits the bathroom, which is not related to bathing, such as cleaning the bathroom or storing washed clothes in the bathroom, as bathing. Therefore, the accuracy of bathing time estimation executed by the control means 7 is improved. Also, the setting of the learning prohibition time period can be arbitrarily changed. Therefore, it is possible to learn bathing patterns 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。 It should be noted that the "learning prohibited time period" referred to in the present application is the learning prohibited time period set by the user by operating the dressing room remote control 36 to the control means 7 as described above, and the learning prohibited time period automatically set by the control means 7, which will be described later. Including both learning prohibited time zone and

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, learning of a bathing pattern executed by the control means 7 of the bathroom heating system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. When either one of the power switches 52a and 62a of the bathroom remote controller 5 or kitchen remote controller 6 shown in FIG. Power is supplied to the bathroom heating device 3, and both devices 2 and 3 are put into 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 prohibited time zone, the same determination is repeated until the learning prohibited time zone passes. On the other hand, if the current time is not included in the learning prohibited time period, the process proceeds to STEP2. When the human detection signal is input, the process proceeds to STEP 3, 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 this embodiment, the absolute humidity is the volume absolute humidity, and the unit is g/m 3 . On the other hand, if the human detection signal is not 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, as long as the input of the human detection signal by the human sensor 8 continues, the control means 7 integrates the elapsed time from the stored time T, that is, the user's staying time in the bathroom BR, For a period of time (for example, 7 minutes in this embodiment), the maximum absolute humidity M1 of the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 55 is stored (STEP 4). Then, the control means 7 performs bathing determination. In this embodiment, the bathing determination by the control means 7 is performed by two systems, ie, the first system and the second system. The first system is a determination as to whether or not the residence time is equal to or longer than the first predetermined time and the difference (M1-M0) between the maximum absolute humidity M1 and the initial absolute humidity M0 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value (STEP 5). The second system is a determination of whether or not the user's staying time in the bathroom is equal to or longer than the second predetermined time when the first system determines NO (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 determination of the first system, the first predetermined time of stay 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. 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 sample data estimated from general tendencies regarding bathing. remembered. The user's purpose of entering the bathroom BR can be classified into bathing, cleaning the bathroom, drying the laundry in the bathroom, etc. Although it is qualitative, in the case of bathing, the staying time is longer than entering the room for other purposes. The absolute humidity tends to be high due to reasons such as the long period and the large amount of hot water used. 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, the above numerical values are merely examples, and other numerical values may be used.

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 that it is bathing in STEP 5, the control means 7 re-stores the previously stored time T as the bathing time. At this time, if a time close to time T is stored as the bathing time even once in the past, or if bathing is performed multiple times in one day, the same bathing time such as the first time, the second time, etc. , the stored bathing start time is subjected to statistical processing such as calculation of an average value to estimate the next bathing time (STEP 7). Then, the control means 7 determines whether or not the input of the human detection signal from the human sensor 8 is continued (detection of leaving the room) (STEP 8), and the human detection signal is not input for a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes). At this time, it is determined that the bather has left the room (STEP9), and the process returns to STEP1. On the other hand, when the input of the human detection signal from the human sensor 8 continues, 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 in STEP5 that it is not bathing, that is, when it is determined that it is not bathing in the first system, the process proceeds to STEP6 to perform bathing determination in the second system. If the user's stay in the bathroom is less than the second predetermined time, the control means 7 determines that the user is not taking a bath, and proceeds to STEP8. On the other hand, if the staying time is equal to or longer than the second predetermined time, the control means 7 determines that it is bathing. However, depending on the lifestyle of the user, it is possible that the clothes are dried in the bathroom BR after the last bath of the day. Therefore, after determining that it is bathing, the control means 7 starts the clothes drying operation and determines whether or not the bathing is 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 executed in STEP 10, regardless of whether it is the last bathing of the day or not, the process proceeds to STEP 7 because it must be bathing. On the other hand, when the clothes-drying operation is executed, when it is not the last bathing of the day, the control means 7 determines that the user's entry into the bathroom BR is not for bathing but for drying clothes. It is determined that there is no, and the process proceeds to STEP11. In STEP 11, the control means 7 deletes the memory of the time T, and includes the time immediately before the execution of the clothes drying operation (10 minutes required for bathing determination in STEP 6 in this embodiment) until the end of the clothes drying operation. Automatically set as learning prohibited time zone. This learning prohibited time period is originally a learning time period for the bathing pattern, but the control means 7 does not learn the bathing pattern. Five hours to six hours are exemplified as the learning prohibition time period automatically set by the control means 7 .

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, the process proceeds to STEP9. The user's entry into the bathroom BR is for the purpose of executing the clothes drying operation, and after the clothes drying operation is started, the user naturally leaves the bathroom BR. Step 8 is not performed, and the process proceeds to STEP 9 to determine that the user should leave the room.

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, if the clothes drying operation is performed after the last bath 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. It becomes impossible to learn the last bath of the day. As a situation in which the clothes drying operation is performed after the last bath of the day, the bathroom remote controller 5 shown in FIG. 1 is provided with a clothes drying operation switch (not shown) after the last bath of the day. For example, the operation switch is turned on by the bather, or the clothes drying operation switch 36i of the dressing room remote control 36 shown in FIG. 2 is turned on by another person. Therefore, if the clothes drying operation is subsequently executed in the case of the last bathing of the day, the control means 7 controls the time until the clothes drying operation is completed, including the predetermined time immediately before the clothes drying operation is executed. is not set as a learning prohibition period. Therefore, even if the clothes drying operation is executed after the last bathing of the day, the control means 7 can surely learn the last bathing of the day. Then, the process proceeds 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 of the day is determined, for example, by whether it is the last time of the stored bathing start time T, or whether it is the last time of the number of bathing times of the day. The control means 7 can make a determination by, for example. Also, the learning prohibition time zone automatically set by the control means 7 is effective only on the current day, and is automatically deleted on the following 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 time until the clothes drying operation is completed, including the predetermined time immediately before the clothes drying operation is executed, is set to the control means 7 as the learning prohibition time period. Automatically set. According to this, it is possible to exclude the entry and exit of the user to the bathroom BR for drying clothes from the bathing pattern learning, and the accuracy of estimating 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、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。 Further, when the clothes drying operation is performed after the last bath of the day, the control means 7 sets the learning prohibition time period until the clothes drying operation is completed, including the predetermined time immediately before the clothes drying operation is performed. 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。 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 based on, for example, the temperature in the bathroom BR detected by the temperature sensor 54, and the estimated bathing start It is possible to perform automatic control or the like to adjust the temperature in the bathroom BR to a temperature at which the bather does not 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 with respect to one embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the hot water supply device 2 may be an electric water heater or a heat pump alone, or a hybrid heat source machine of these and a gas hot water heater or the like. Furthermore, an electric heater may be used as the heat source of the bathroom heater 3 . In this case, the second feed pipe 44 and the return pipe 45 shown in FIG. 1 can be omitted. Furthermore, the heat source for the bathroom heating device 3 can employ not only one that heats the air, but also one that cools it, or both. 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 a 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 is 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 human sensor 8 are not particularly limited in installation location as long as they can reliably detect the detection target. For example, it may be installed inside the bathroom heater 3 . Furthermore, as the bathroom heater 3, a device capable of wired intelligent communication with the hot water supply device 2 can be adopted. In this case, the infrared light receiving/emitting means 35 and 53 are not necessary, and when the switch 52 or 62 of either the bathroom remote controller 5 or the kitchen remote controller 6 is manually turned on by the user, the bathroom heating of the bathroom heater 3 is turned on. A control signal to control means 34 can be transmitted via hot water supply control means 21 of water heater 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 or the like. Furthermore, the bathroom heater 3 can also be operated by a wireless remote controller. In this case, it is also possible to make the bathroom heating device 3 IoT. can be used as a wireless remote control. In addition, IoT can target not only the bathroom heating device 3 but also the hot water supply device 2. Therefore, the entire bathroom air conditioning system including the bathroom heating system 1 and the bathroom cooling system can be IoT. .
