本発明は浴槽の湯温と継過時間にもとづいて適
切な時に浴槽から出るように指示し得る入浴管理
装置に関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a bathing management device that can instruct a person to exit the bathtub at an appropriate time based on the temperature of the water in the bathtub and the elapsed time.
一般に、入浴に関しては個人差があるが、特に
長時間浴槽に入つている場合はその湯温にも関係

いちいち計測し、それにもとづいていつ浴槽から
出ればよいかを決定するのは困難である。 In general, there are individual differences when it comes to bathing, but especially if you are in the bathtub for a long time, it is also related to the temperature of the water. (However, if the water temperature is too high, it puts more strain on the body, so it is preferable to take a short bath.) However, for the elderly, it may be harmful to the health of the elderly. Therefore, it would be convenient to have some idea of the relationship between the time spent in the bathtub and the water temperature, and it would be very welcome from a health perspective, but as a practical matter, it is important to bring a clock and thermometer into the bath. It is difficult to take measurements every time and decide when to get out of the bathtub based on that measurement.
それゆえ、本発明は浴槽の湯温と経過時間の積
を算出し、算出値が一定値を越えたとき直ちに浴
槽から出るように指示し得る入浴管理装置の提供
にある。 Therefore, the present invention provides a bathing management device that calculates the product of the water temperature in the bathtub and the elapsed time, and can immediately instruct the user to get out of the bathtub when the calculated value exceeds a certain value.
以下、本発明の一実施例を詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

Install so that the water level exceeds the electrode P1 . Therefore, this temperature/water level sensor D is a sensor that detects the temperature of the hot water in the bathtub and whether or not there is a person in the bathtub, and the information obtained here is sent to the main body of the device via code C. It is configured to be forwarded to A.

At J1 , it is determined whether or not there is a person in the bathtub. If there is conduction between the electrodes P 0 and P 1 (if there is a person in the bathtub), the step
A 1 is a timer circuit (built in the CPU)
At the same time, the temperature of the hot water detected by the thermistor TH at that time is stored in register B.
次に、ジヤルジJ4で浴槽の湯の温度が健康を害

×６＝756となる。 Next, in Jarji J 4 , it is determined whether the temperature of the water in the bathtub does not exceed 45 degrees Celsius, which is said to be harmful to health. If it does, it moves to step A 6 and sends a message ( “It’s too hot,
Let's add water. ”) voice synthesizer
Output to VS and make audio notification by speaker SP. (Please note that if the temperature of the hot water does not exceed 45℃,
Move from step J 4 to step A 2 . ) After the message is voiced in step A6 above.
After waiting about 10 seconds, the timer is counted up (step A7 ), and the temperature of the hot water is determined again using the gauge J5 . If the temperature of the hot water is below 44℃, proceed to step A2 , count the time you are in the bath (bathing time) every 10 seconds, and set the temperature of the hot water to B at J2 . It is determined whether the product of bathing time T has reached a set value. Here, it is said that the appropriate time for a healthy person to take a bath in 42°C water is about 3 minutes, so the above setting value is 42 x 3.
×6=756.

る。 As a result of the judgment in J2 above, when the product of the water temperature and bathing time reaches the set value "756", the process moves to step A3 and the message "Let's stop taking long baths for the sake of health. Now go up." ” is output to the voice synthesizer VS for audio notification.

る。 After that, both electrodes from temperature/water level sensor D
The conduction state between P 0 and P 1 is determined by the judge J 3 , and if the two electrodes are in the OFF state, proceed to step A 5 .
Every 10 seconds, the message "Please come up quickly" is sent to the voice synthesizer VS for voice notification.

その用途を広げることができる。 As described above, according to the bathing management device according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent negative effects such as fatigue and stress on the heart caused by extremely long baths, even in a bathroom where one loses one's sense of time. . In particular, since we manage bathing not only by time but also by including water temperature data, we are able to give relatively long bathing instructions when the temperature is low, which puts less stress on the body, and when it is hot, which puts more stress on the body. Since the bathing management device generates a warning in a short period of time if there is a problem, the bathing management device can perform management that is more suitable for the body. In addition, since it has a temperature and water level sensor, it is easy to add a function to indicate the appropriate amount of water when pouring water and a function to notify the appropriate temperature when boiling water.
Its uses can be expanded.
