Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to heating control systems. [Background technology]

[0002] It is known that sudden changes in blood pressure due to temperature differences can induce myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, fainting, etc., a condition known as heat shock. Heat shock often occurs in bathrooms in winter, where there is a large temperature difference. Patent Document 1 discloses a technology that suppresses heat shock while maintaining the comfort of people in the changing room. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-190390 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The technology disclosed in Patent Document 1 uses an infrared sensor to detect the surface temperature of a person in a changing room and determine whether the person in the changing room is undressed or clothed. However, because the changing room is adjacent to a bathroom, humidity is high, and as a result, condensation and steam can cause the infrared sensor to fail to detect or malfunction.

[0005] Furthermore, because changing rooms and bathrooms are spaces where privacy is important, it is not appropriate to use cameras to detect the presence of people in them. For this reason, there is a need for a heating control system that can detect the presence of people in changing rooms and bathrooms while protecting their privacy, and that can appropriately control the heating to prevent heat shock.

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned problems, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a heating control system that can appropriately control heating while protecting privacy and suppressing heat shock. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] A heating control system according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a floor sensor installed on the floor of a first room and capable of detecting a load, a heating device installed in a second room adjacent to the first room, and a control device that controls the heating device in response to the detection result of the floor sensor. When the control device detects the presence of a person in the first room, it starts operation of the heating device in the second room. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The present disclosure provides a heating control system that can appropriately control heating and suppress heat shock while protecting privacy. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 7] FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram for explaining a configuration example of a heating control system according to a third embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The heating control system according to the present disclosure includes a floor sensor installed on the floor of a first room and capable of detecting a load, a heating device installed in a second room adjacent to the first room, and a control device that controls the heating device in response to the detection result of the floor sensor. The control device is configured to start operation of the heating device in the second room when it detects the presence of a person in the first room.

[0011] In the following, the first embodiment will be described as a case where the first room is a dressing room and the second room is a bathroom. In the second embodiment (FIG. 6), the first room is a bathroom and the second room is a dressing room. In the third embodiment (FIG. 7), the first room is a dressing room and the second room is a bathroom, and a floor sensor and a heating device are provided in both the first and second rooms.

[0012] <First Embodiment> FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example configuration of a heating control system according to a first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the heating control system 1 according to this embodiment includes a floor sensor 13, a heating device 14, and a control device 15. The floor sensor 13 is installed on the floor of a dressing room (first room) 11. The heating device 14 is installed in a bathroom (second room) 12. A bathtub 18 is installed in the bathroom 12. Note that while the example configuration shown in FIG. 1 illustrates a configuration in which the bathtub 18 is installed in the bathroom 11, this embodiment can also be applied to a shower room without a bathtub in the bathroom 11, a bathroom (unit bath) that is also equipped with a toilet, and the like.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 1, floor sensor 13 is installed on the floor of changing room 11 and is configured to be able to detect load. Specifically, door 16 is provided at the entrance / exit of changing room 11. When a person opens door 16 and enters changing room 11, the person steps on floor sensor 13, applying a load (pressure) due to the person's weight to floor sensor 13. Floor sensor 13 outputs the load detection result to control device 15. Floor sensor 13 can be configured, for example, using a sensor panel in which multiple detection cells 25 (see FIG. 2) that detect load are arranged in a matrix in the row and column directions. Such a sensor panel is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2019-060622. Alternatively, floor sensor 13 may be a pressure-sensitive sheet using a piezoelectric element or a capacitance sensor using a capacitance detection element. In addition, Figure 1 shows an example of a configuration in which floor sensors 61 are installed on the entire floor of the changing room 11, but in this embodiment, floor sensors 61 may be installed only in places where undressing is expected, or floor sensors 61 may be installed only near the door 16 of the changing room 11.

[0014] Heating device 14 is provided in bathroom 12 adjacent to changing room 11. Heating device 14 has the function of heating bathroom 12 to a predetermined temperature. Heating device 14 may be, for example, a hot air heater, floor heating, halogen heater, or mist sauna. Heating device 14 may also be a sprinkler that scatters hot water inside bathroom 12 to heat it. Note that these heating devices 14 are merely examples, and any heating device that has the function of heating bathroom 12 to a predetermined temperature may be used in this embodiment.

[0015] The control device 15 is configured to control the heating device 14 in accordance with the detection result of the floor sensor 13. Specifically, when the floor sensor 13 detects the presence of a person in the dressing room 11, the control device 15 starts operation of the heating device 14 in the bathroom 12. At this time, the control device 15 may start operation of the heating device 14 in the bathroom 12 when it detects the presence of a person in the dressing room 11 and the temperature difference between the dressing room 11 and the bathroom 12 is equal to or greater than a predetermined temperature difference. Here, the predetermined temperature difference is a temperature difference that may cause a bather to experience heat shock. The predetermined temperature difference may be preset by the manufacturer of the heating control system or may be set arbitrarily by the user. The control device 15 may also be configured to automatically set the predetermined temperature difference. For example, the control device 15 may use the temperature of the bathroom 12, the temperature of the dressing room 11, and / or the average temperature of the bathroom 12 and the dressing room 11 as an index, and automatically set the predetermined temperature difference so that the higher the index, the warmer the temperature, and the smaller the index, the colder the temperature,.

[0016] Furthermore, control device 15 may be configured to start operation of heating device 14 in bathroom 12 when it detects the presence of a person in changing room 11 and the temperature in bathroom 12 is below a predetermined temperature. In other words, when the temperature in bathroom 12 is below a predetermined temperature (i.e., when bathroom 12 is cold), there is a high possibility of heat shock, so in such a case, operation of heating device 14 in bathroom 12 may be started.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1 , a door 17 is provided at the entrance to bathroom 12, and a person enters bathroom 12 by opening door 17. In this embodiment, when control device 15 detects the presence of a person in changing room 11, it starts operation of heating device 14 in bathroom 12 before the person enters bathroom 12. This reduces the temperature difference between changing room 11 and bathroom 12, preventing the person entering bathroom 12 from suffering from heat shock. Furthermore, in this embodiment, floor sensor 13 is used to detect the presence of a person in changing room 11, thereby protecting the privacy of the bather. Therefore, this embodiment provides a heating control system that can appropriately control heating and prevent heat shock while protecting privacy.

[0018] FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the heating control system according to the first embodiment. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the floor sensor 13 is configured by arranging a plurality of detection cells 25 for detecting load in a matrix in the row and column directions. The detection result of the floor sensor 13 is supplied to a detection circuit 21 of the control device 15. The detection circuit 21 generates predetermined detection data based on the detection result of the floor sensor 13. The detection circuit 21 may also function as a drive circuit for the floor sensor 13.

[0019] For example, the detection circuit 21 may generate detection data by associating position information of each detection cell 25 of the floor sensor 13 with whether or not each detection cell 25 has detected a load. In this case, the detection data includes position information of the detection cell 25 that detected the load.

[0020] The calculation unit 22 of the control device 15 uses the detection data supplied from the detection circuit 21 to determine whether or not a person is present in the changing room 11. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when the floor sensor 13 in the changing room 11 detects a person's feet 31, 32, it may be determined that a person is present in the changing room 11. Note that in this specification, the detection cells 25 that detect loads are indicated by hatching. It may also be determined that a person is present in the changing room 11 by detecting a trajectory 33 of a person entering and moving through the changing room 11. Note that the trajectory 33 of the person's movement can be obtained by detecting the positions of the person's feet 31, 32 over time.

[0021] Furthermore, the calculation unit 22 may determine that a person is present in the dressing room 11 when a person has been staying in a predetermined section of the dressing room 11 for a certain period of time or more. In other words, when a person takes a bath, they stay in a predetermined section to undress, so when a person has been staying in a predetermined section for a certain period of time or more, it can be determined that a person is present in the dressing room 11. The predetermined section can be set arbitrarily by the user.

[0022] The calculation unit 22 may also determine whether a person is undressing in the changing room 11. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 4, the floor sensor 13 detects both of the person's feet 41, 42 (timing t = 1), and after one of the person's feet 41 leaves the floor sensor 13 (timing t = 2), the floor sensor 13 again detects both of the person's feet 41, 42 (timing t = 3), and after the other of the person's feet 42 leaves the floor sensor 13 (timing t = 4), the floor sensor 13 again detects both of the person's feet 41, 42 (timing t = 5). In other words, the calculation unit 22 may determine that a person is undressing when it detects the person's stepping motion (see Fig. 4).

[0023] In this case, the calculation unit 22 may determine that the person is undressing if it detects that after the floor sensor 13 detects both of the person's feet, one of the person's feet leaves the floor sensor 13 and then the toe of one of the person's feet touches the floor sensor 13.

[0024] Specifically, as shown in Figure 5, if the floor sensor 13 detects both of a person's feet 51, 52 (timing t = 1), one of the person's feet 51 leaves the floor sensor 13 (timing t = 2), one of the person's feet touches the floor sensor 13 with the toe 53 first (timing t = 3), the floor sensor 13 again detects both of the person's feet 51, 52 (timing t = 4), the other person's foot 52 leaves the floor sensor 13 (timing t = 5), the other person's foot touches the floor sensor 13 with the toe 54 first (timing t = 6), and the floor sensor 13 again detects both of the person's feet 51, 52 (timing t = 7), the calculation unit 22 may determine that the person is undressing.

[0025] When a person is undressing, they stay in a predetermined position. Therefore, both of the person's feet 41, 42, 51, and 52 are continuously detected within a predetermined range (for example, within a circle having a predetermined diameter). In addition to the operations shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 above, the calculation unit 22 may determine that the person is undressing when both of the person's feet 41, 42, 51, and 52 are continuously detected within the predetermined range.

[0026] When control unit 23 of control device 15 shown in FIG. 2 detects the presence of a person in changing room 11, it starts operation of heating device 14 in bathroom 12. At this time, control unit 23 may start operation of heating device 14 in bathroom 12 when it detects the presence of a person in changing room 11 and the temperature difference between changing room 11 and bathroom 12 is equal to or greater than a predetermined temperature difference. The temperatures of changing room 11 and bathroom 12 can be detected using temperature sensors provided in each of changing room 11 and bathroom 12. Furthermore, control unit 23 may start operation of the heating device in bathroom 12 when it detects that a person is undressing in changing room 11.

[0027] As described above, the heating control system 1 according to this embodiment uses the floor sensor 13 to detect whether or not a person is present in the dressing room 11. This protects the privacy of the person in the dressing room 11. Furthermore, the control device 15 starts operation of the heating device 14 in the bathroom 12 when it detects the presence of a person in the dressing room 11. This allows operation of the heating device 14 in the bathroom 12 to be started before the person enters the bathroom 12, thereby reducing the temperature difference between the dressing room 11 and the bathroom 12 and preventing heat shock. Therefore, the heating control system 1 according to this embodiment can provide a heating control system that can appropriately control heating and prevent heat shock while protecting privacy.

[0028] In heating control system 1 according to this embodiment, control device 15 may be configured to stop operation of heating device 14 in bathroom 12 after a predetermined time has elapsed since starting operation of heating device 14 in bathroom 12. Here, the predetermined time is the time required for heating device 14 to warm up the interior of bathroom 12. Furthermore, control device 15 may be configured to stop operation of heating device 14 in bathroom 12 if the temperature difference between changing room 11 and bathroom 12 falls below a predetermined temperature difference after starting operation of heating device 14 in bathroom 12.

[0029] Furthermore, after starting operation of heating device 14 in bathroom 12, control device 15 may stop operation of the heating device in bathroom 12 a predetermined time after a person moves from changing room 11 to bathroom 12. In other words, in this case, the timing of the person moving from changing room 11 to bathroom 12 is regarded as the start of measurement of the predetermined time. Control device 15 can detect that a person has moved from changing room 11 to bathroom 12 using floor sensor 13. For example, if a person moves in the direction of bathroom 12 and then the person's feet are no longer detected, it can be determined that the person has moved from changing room 11 to bathroom 12.

[0030] The heating control system according to this embodiment may further include a warning device (not shown). When the temperature of bathroom 12 is lower than a predetermined temperature, control device 15 may use the warning device to warn a person so as to prevent the person from entering bathroom 12. When the temperature difference between changing room 11 and bathroom 12 is equal to or greater than a predetermined temperature difference, control device 15 may use the warning device to warn a person so as to prevent the person from entering bathroom 12.

[0031] For example, the warning device may be equipped with a display unit and may issue a warning message by displaying it on the display unit. The warning device may also be equipped with a speaker and may issue a warning by sounding or emitting a warning message from the speaker. The warning device may also be equipped with a mechanism for vibrating the doorknob, in which case the doorknob may vibrate to warn a person when they try to open the door 17 of the bathroom 12. The warning device may also be equipped with a mechanism for locking the doorknob, in which case the doorknob of the door 17 of the bathroom 12 may be locked to warn the person.

[0032] The heating control system according to this embodiment may also be configured to cooperate with bathtub 18 or a water heater (not shown). For example, control device 15 may not operate heating device 14 when there is no hot water in bathtub 18. Control device 15 may also not operate heating device 14 when the water heater is not in bath mode. For example, when cleaning bathroom 12, there may be no hot water in bathtub 18 or the water heater is not in bath mode, so in such cases control device 15 may not operate heating device 14.

[0033] <Embodiment 2> Next, a second embodiment will be described. Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram for explaining a configuration example of a heating control system according to the second embodiment. As shown in Fig. 6, the heating control system 2 according to the second embodiment is provided with a floor sensor 61 in the bathroom 12 (first room) and a heating device 63 in the changing room 11 (second room). In this embodiment, the floor sensor 61 corresponds to the floor sensor 13 described in the first embodiment, the heating device 63 corresponds to the heating device 14 described in the first embodiment, and the control device 62 corresponds to the control device 15 described in the first embodiment, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0034] In the heating control system 2 according to this embodiment, the control device 62 starts the operation of the heating device 63 in the dressing room 11 when it detects the presence of a person in the bathroom 12. In this case, the control device 62 may start the operation of the heating device 63 in the dressing room 11 when it detects the presence of a person in the bathroom 12 and the temperature difference between the bathroom 12 and the dressing room 11 is equal to or greater than a predetermined temperature difference. Here, the predetermined temperature difference is a temperature difference that may cause a heat shock when a bather moves to the dressing room 11 after bathing. The predetermined temperature difference may be set in advance by the manufacturer of the heating control system, or may be set arbitrarily by the user. Alternatively, the control device 62 may be configured to automatically set the predetermined temperature difference.

[0035] Furthermore, the control device 62 may be configured to start operation of the heating device 63 in the dressing room 11 when it detects the presence of a person in the bathroom 12 and the temperature in the dressing room 11 is below a predetermined temperature. In other words, when the temperature in the dressing room 11 is below a predetermined temperature (i.e., when the dressing room 11 is cold), there is a high possibility of heat shock, so in such a case the control device 62 may be configured to start operation of the heating device 63 in the dressing room 11.

[0036] In this case, the control device 62 may start operation of the heating device 63 in the dressing room 11 after a predetermined time has elapsed after detecting the presence of a person in the bathroom 12 (i.e., after the person enters the bathroom 12). Here, the predetermined time may be determined taking into consideration the average time that a person stays in the bathroom 12. In other words, the predetermined time is determined so that operation of the heating device 63 in the dressing room 11 is started in advance so that the dressing room 11 is already warm when the person moves from the bathroom 12 to the dressing room 11 after bathing.

[0037] 6 shows an example of a configuration in which floor sensor 61 is provided on the floor of bathroom 12 other than where bathtub 18 is provided, but in this embodiment, floor sensor 61 may be provided only near door 17 of bathroom 12. In this way, when floor sensor 61 is provided only near door 17, the area of ​​floor sensor 61 to be installed can be reduced while still accurately detecting people entering and leaving bathroom 12.

[0038] In the heating control system 2 according to this embodiment, the control device 62 may be configured to stop operation of the heating device 63 in the dressing room 11 after a predetermined time has elapsed since starting operation of the heating device 63 in the dressing room 11. Here, the predetermined time is the time required for the heating device 63 to warm up the inside of the dressing room 11. Furthermore, after starting operation of the heating device 63 in the dressing room 11, the control device 62 may be configured to stop operation of the heating device 63 in the dressing room 11 if the temperature difference between the dressing room 11 and the bathroom 12 falls below a predetermined temperature difference.

[0039] Furthermore, the control device 62 may start operation of the heating device 14 in the changing room 11 and then stop operation of the heating device 63 in the changing room 11 when a person leaves the changing room 11. The person leaving the changing room 11 can be detected, for example, by providing an open / close sensor on the door 16.

[0040] The heating control system 2 according to this embodiment may further include a warning device (not shown). The control device 62 may use the warning device to warn a person when the temperature in the dressing room 11 is lower than a predetermined temperature, in order to prevent the person from moving from the bathroom 12 to the dressing room 11. The control device 62 may also use the warning device to warn a person when the temperature difference between the dressing room 11 and the bathroom 12 is equal to or greater than a predetermined temperature difference, in order to prevent the person from moving from the bathroom 12 to the dressing room 11.

[0041] For example, the warning device may be equipped with a display unit and may display a warning message on the display unit. Alternatively, the warning device may be equipped with a speaker and may issue a warning by sounding or messaging a warning from the speaker. Alternatively, the warning device may be equipped with a mechanism for vibrating the doorknob. In this case, the warning device may vibrate the doorknob to warn a person when they try to open the door 17 of the bathroom 12.

[0042] The heating control system according to the present embodiment described above can appropriately control heating and suppress heat shock while protecting privacy.

[0043] <Third Embodiment> Next, a third embodiment will be described. Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram for explaining a configuration example of a heating control system according to the third embodiment. As shown in Fig. 7, the heating control system 3 according to the third embodiment is provided with a floor sensor 13 and a heating device 63 in the dressing room 11, and with a heating device 14 and a floor sensor 61 in the bathroom 12. In other words, the heating control system 3 according to the third embodiment has a configuration that combines the heating control system 1 according to the first embodiment and the heating control system 2 according to the second embodiment.

[0044] In this embodiment, floor sensors 13, 61 correspond to floor sensors 13, 61 described in embodiments 1 and 2, heating devices 14, 63 correspond to heating devices 14, 63 described in embodiments 1 and 2, and control device 70 corresponds to control devices 15, 62 described in embodiments 1 and 2, so detailed explanations of these will be omitted as appropriate.

[0045] In the heating control system 3 according to this embodiment, the control device 70 is configured to control the heating device 14 in the bathroom 12 in response to the detection result of the floor sensor 13 in the dressing room 11. Specifically, the control device 70 starts operation of the heating device 14 in the bathroom 12 when the floor sensor 13 detects the presence of a person in the dressing room 11. In this case, the control device 70 may start operation of the heating device 14 in the bathroom 12 when it detects the presence of a person in the dressing room 11 and the temperature difference between the dressing room 11 and the bathroom 12 is equal to or greater than a predetermined temperature difference. Here, the predetermined temperature difference is a temperature difference that may cause a bather to suffer a heat shock. The predetermined temperature difference may be preset by the manufacturer of the heating control system or may be set arbitrarily by the user. Alternatively, the control device 70 may automatically set the predetermined temperature difference.

[0046] Furthermore, control device 70 may be configured to start operation of heating device 14 in bathroom 12 when it detects the presence of a person in changing room 11 and the temperature in bathroom 12 is below a predetermined temperature. In other words, when the temperature in bathroom 12 is below a predetermined temperature (i.e., when bathroom 12 is cold), there is a high possibility of heat shock, so in such a case, operation of heating device 14 in bathroom 12 may be started.

[0047] In the heating control system 3 according to this embodiment, the control device 70 starts operation of the heating device 63 in the dressing room 11 when it detects the presence of a person in the bathroom 12. In this case, the control device 70 may start operation of the heating device 63 in the dressing room 11 when it detects the presence of a person in the bathroom 12 and the temperature difference between the bathroom 12 and the dressing room 11 is equal to or greater than a predetermined temperature difference. Here, the predetermined temperature difference is a temperature difference that may cause a heat shock when a bather moves to the dressing room 11 after bathing. The predetermined temperature difference may be set in advance by the manufacturer of the heating control system, or may be set arbitrarily by the user. The control device 70 may also be configured to automatically set the predetermined temperature difference.

[0048] Furthermore, the control device 70 may be configured to start operation of the heating device 63 in the dressing room 11 when it detects the presence of a person in the bathroom 12 and the temperature in the dressing room 11 is below a predetermined temperature. In other words, when the temperature in the dressing room 11 is below a predetermined temperature (i.e., when the dressing room 11 is cold), there is a high possibility of heat shock, so in such a case the control device 70 may be configured to start operation of the heating device 63 in the dressing room 11.

[0049] The other configurations and operations are the same as those explained in the first and second embodiments, so duplicate explanations will be omitted.

[0050] The heating control system 3 according to the present embodiment described above can appropriately control heating and prevent heat shock while protecting privacy. In particular, the heating control system 3 according to the present embodiment is provided with heating devices 14, 63 in both the dressing room 11 and the bathroom 12, so it can effectively prevent heat shock when a bather moves from the dressing room 11 to the bathroom 12 while bathing, and when a bather moves from the bathroom 12 to the dressing room 11 after bathing.

[0051] The present invention has been described above in accordance with the above-mentioned embodiment, but the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-mentioned embodiment, and naturally includes various modifications, alterations, and combinations that a person skilled in the art can make within the scope of the invention as defined in the claims of this application.
