Embodiment Construction

[0029] According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a toilet seat warmer comprising: a toilet seat body having a heat generating part made of a conductor; an induction heating coil generating a magnetic field for inductively heating the heat generating part; The energization of the induction heating coil; the human body detection unit detects the existence of the human body; and the sitting action detection unit detects the user’s sitting action on the toilet seat body, characterized in that the control unit is as follows, in the human body When the detection unit detects the presence of a human body, it starts to execute the first heating mode for heating the toilet seat body by energizing the induction heating coil, and transitions to A second heating mode in which the amount of energization to the induction heating coil is smaller than the amount of energization in the first heating mode.

[0030] According to this toilet seat heating device, since th...

Abstract

The purpose of the invention is to provide a heated toilet seat device that, when heating is initiated, heats the toilet seat quickly to a temperature that does not feel cold and which is capable of keeping the magnetic field from affecting the body after the user sits. A heated toilet seat device equipped with: a main toilet seat body with a heat-generating part obtained from an electric conductor; an induction heating coil that generates a magnetic field for induction-heating of the heat-generating part; a control part for controlling the passage of electric current to the induction heating coil; a human body-detecting part for detecting the presence of a human body; and a sitting action-detection part for detecting the sitting of a user on said main toilet seat body. The heated toilet seat device is characterized in that when the presence of a human body is detected by the human body-detecting part, said control part initiates a first heating mode of heating the main toilet seat body by passing electric current to the induction heating coil and, after the sitting action-detection part detects the sitting of the human body, switches to a second heating mode wherein the amount of current passing to the induction heating coil is smaller than the amount of current passed in the first heating mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The aspect of this invention relates to the toilet seat warmer, Specifically, It is related with the toilet seat warmer which can heat the toilet seat installed on the toilet. Background technique [0002] A toilet seat device employing an induction heating method in which a high-frequency current is supplied to an induction heating coil has been proposed as a new heating method for a warm toilet seat. In such an induction heating method, the degree of influence of the intensity of the magnetic field generated by the induction heating coil on the human body is studied, and the magnitude of the magnetic flux density that does not affect the human body is also announced. [0003] As a driving method for suppressing induction heating of a magnetic field to a human body, a method of driving induction heating when a human body is detected and stopping induction heating when a seat is detected (Patent Document 1). However, the seat occupancy detection commo...
