により自動制御するものである。In Fig. 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a water heater controlled by a microcomputer control unit, and to the microcomputer control unit, for example, a bathroom remote control 2 and a kitchen remote control 3 are connected, and each remote control has an operation switch and a set temperature knob. When the desired hot water temperature is set on each remote controller 2.3 and the operation switch is turned on, hot water is supplied at the temperature set on the remote controller. In addition, in FIG. 2, 4 is a heat exchanger for hot water supply, 5 is a thermistor for detecting the temperature of water supply arranged in the water supply pipe, 6 is also a flow rate sensor, and 7 is a hot water temperature detection sensor arranged in the hot water supply pipe. The output signals of these sensors are input to a microcomputer control section, and the capacity of the burner of the heat exchanger 4 (not shown) is automatically controlled by the microcomputer control section.
図示の実施例は、浴室と台所との２ケ所に給湯すべくな
したものを示しているが、本発明はこのような実施例に
限定されるものではない。Although the illustrated embodiment is designed to supply hot water to two locations, a bathroom and a kitchen, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.
上記のように、浴室を含む複数個所に給湯すべくなした
給湯装置においては、例えば浴室用リモコンの設定温度

ーから６０℃の湯が呂で火傷をする危険がある。As mentioned above, in a water heater that is designed to supply hot water to multiple locations including the bathroom, for example, when taking a shower with the bathroom remote control set at 40 degrees Celsius, the kitchen remote control is set at 60 degrees Celsius. If you open the hot water tap in the kitchen, there is a risk of scalding yourself from the 60°C hot water from the shower.
このような危険を防止するため、従来は浴室リモコン２
に優先スイッチを設け、上記シャワー浴の際に優先スイ
ッチをオンにしておけば、台所リモコンを６０℃に設定
しても、浴室リモコンの設定温度を優先させてシャワー
からは４０℃の出湯が得られるようにしている。In order to prevent this kind of danger, conventionally the bathroom remote control 2
If you install a priority switch in the bathroom and turn on the priority switch when taking a shower, even if you set the kitchen remote control to 60℃, the bathroom remote control setting will take priority and you will get 40℃ hot water from the shower. I'm trying to be able to do that.
上記の如き従来の給湯装置においては、優先スイッチの
オン、オフをその都度正しく行なわなければならない。In the conventional water heater as described above, the priority switch must be turned on and off correctly each time.
例えば、浴室リモコンに優先スイッチがあっても、これ
を押し忘れてシャワーを使用すれば、台所リモコンを６
０℃に設定した場合火傷の危険がある。逆に、優先スイ
ッチを解除するのを忘れて入浴者が浴室から退出した場
合には、台所で６０℃の出湯を得ようとしても４０℃の
出湯しか得られず、わざわざ浴室に行って優先スイッチ
を解除しなければならないという問題がある。For example, even if there is a priority switch on the bathroom remote control, if you forget to press it and use the shower, the kitchen remote control will switch to
There is a risk of burns if the temperature is set to 0°C. Conversely, if a bather forgets to release the priority switch and leaves the bathroom, even if they try to get hot water at 60°C in the kitchen, they will only get hot water at 40°C, and they will have to go to the bathroom and turn off the priority switch. The problem is that it has to be removed.
本発明は、前記の如き従来技術の問題点を改善し、優先
スイッチを使用することなくシャワー浴時などの安全を
保証することができる給湯装置の優先温度決定方法を提
供せんとするものである。The present invention aims to improve the problems of the prior art as described above and to provide a method for determining the priority temperature of a water heater that can guarantee safety during showering and the like without using a priority switch. .
本発明は、前記の如き目的を達成せんがため、浴室リモ

ことを特徴とする。In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a bathroom remote control with a human body sensor, and when supplying hot water to areas other than the bathroom,
The human body sensor detects whether there is a person in the bathroom, and when it detects that there is a person, it prioritizes the temperature set on the bathroom remote control, and when it does not detect that there is a person, it supplies hot water at the temperature set on the remote control other than the bathroom. It is characterized in that it performs the following.
本発明は、前記の如く、浴室リモコンに人体センサを配

を解消することができる。As described above, the present invention includes a bathroom remote controller equipped with a human body sensor, and when supplying hot water to a place other than the bathroom, the human body sensor detects whether or not there is a person in the bathroom, and when it is detected that there is a person, the bathroom remote controller Priority is given to the set temperature, so if there is no risk of getting burned when taking a shower, etc., and if no one is detected to be in the bathroom, the hot water will be supplied at the temperature set on the remote control for that hot water supply point. This eliminates all the problems associated with using conventional priority switches.

、株式会社経営システム研究所発行の「センサ一応用技
術集大成」４４頁−５４頁参照）。The human body sensor used in the present invention is specifically a pyroelectric infrared sensor, which is a crystal with electrical spontaneous polarization that captures stray charges in the atmosphere and maintains an electrical equilibrium state. However, when a person enters the room and moves around, the spontaneous polarization inside the crystal changes, and the presence or absence of a human body is detected using the fact that a charge is observed on the surface until the surface charge reaches a new equilibrium state. (Refer to pages 44-54 of ``Sensor - Applied Technology Collection'' published by Keizai System Research Institute Co., Ltd., September 1, 1981).

As shown in the figure, a human body sensor 2a and an operation switch 2b
and a set temperature knob 2c. In contrast,
For example, in the kitchen remote control 3 other than the bathroom, there is an operation switch 3.

出湯栓から出湯させる。Then, when the desired hot water temperature is set on the kitchen remote control 3, the operation switch 3b is turned on, and the hot water tap is opened, the flow rate sensor 6 detects whether it is on or not, as shown in FIG. It detects whether the remote controller 2 is turned on, and if the bathroom remote controller 2 is turned on, the human body sensor 2a further detects whether there is a person in the bathroom, and the human body sensor 2a detects that there is a person in the bathroom. If this is detected, the hot water temperature set on the bathroom remote control is prioritized and hot water is dispensed from the kitchen hot water faucet.
すなわち、台所リモコンに湯温を６０℃と設定しても、
浴室リモコンの設定湯温か４０℃の場合には台所出湯栓
からは４０℃にて出湯させる。In other words, even if you set the water temperature to 60℃ on the kitchen remote control,
If the hot water temperature set on the bathroom remote controller is 40°C, hot water will be dispensed from the kitchen hot water faucet at 40°C.
また、浴室リモコンがオンしてない場合、および、浴室
