BIDET HAVING INSTANT HOT WATER FUNCTION AND METHOD OF CONTROL THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a bidet having instant hot water function in which a sheathed heater generates heat by a electric power supplied under the control of a controller, and, at the same time, the heating member made of aluminum is heated by the generated heat, and the tap water supplied from a hydrant is converted into hot water to spray through a nozzle to thereby wash the user's anus or genitalia, and then tap water from the hydrant is supplied to the heating member in a state where the electric power supply to the sheathed heater is disconnected under the control of the controller to quench the heating member to a room temperature, which allows reliable use of bidet, and a control method thereof.

主权项

1. A bidet having an instant hot water feature which comprises:
a sheathed heater to radiate heat under the control of a control unit; a heating member surrounding the sheathed heater, the heat radiated from the sheathed heater being delivered to the heating member to convert water located in a flow channel into hot water; a housing mounted on the heating member to accommodate the flow channel, through which a supply hole and a discharge hole, which are fluidly connected to a front end and a rear end of the flow channel, respectively, are penetrating; a temperature sensor which is located in the discharge hole to be submerged in the flow channel of the heating member and which measures the temperature of hot water discharged through the discharge hole and the temperature of the heating member to supply or disconnect the power supply to the sheathed heater under the control of the control unit; a mounting member mounted on the housing to fluidly connect a discharge hole and a through hole while accommodating the temperature sensor; a guide member mounted on the mounting member to accommodate the through hole, thereby guiding the supply of the hot water or discharging air, and a check valve mounted between the guide member and the mounting member to supply hot water and prevent backflow while opening and shutting the through hole.
