DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention provides a health check while entering a bathtub, bubble bath or sauna, automatically creates an optimal bathing temperature environment for bathers, and issues an alarm in the event of an emergency. The present invention relates to a health check device devised so that occurrence of an accident can be prevented beforehand by notifying a bather himself or a third party.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A bicycle-type exercise load device is known for measuring physical strength.

[0003]

However, this load device is effective when used for training at a sports club or the like, but practical when used for a health check in an ordinary household. Not.

[0004] An object of the present invention is to propose a health check device which can be easily used in ordinary households.

[0005]

The configuration of the health check device according to the present invention is as follows.

[0006] The health check device according to claim 1
Te is a bather heart rate heart rate measuring device for measuring the water temperature sensor for measuring the bath temperature, health bather on the basis of a signal from the heart rate measuring device and the water temperature sensor and health diagnostic device and outputting the operation state, that consist of
It is characterized by the following.

[0007] Further, the health check device according to claim 2
In, a heart rate measuring device for measuring the heart rate of the occupant, a room temperature sensor for measuring the temperature in the sauna room, the health of the bather based on the signals from the heart rate measuring device and the room temperature sensor A health diagnostic device that calculates and outputs the status,
Characterized by the following.

[0008] The health check device according to claim 3.
, The hot water or sauna according to claim 1 or 2
Change the room temperature or the amount of air bubbles in the room, and
Configured to measure changes and check health
It is characterized by comprising.

[0009]

[Function] Before taking a bath, the bather wears a heart rate measuring device on the earlobe, chest, wrist, etc., and measures the heart rate in a static state, for example, 15 minutes.
Measure for seconds. This heart rate is recorded in the health checker or controller, and the bather then stays in the bathtub. Or in the case of a sauna, enter the sauna room. In this way,
The heart rate is measured again from the time of entering the bathtub or the sauna room, for example, the heart rate for several minutes. Normally, the heart rate is around 75 in a static state, and 10 minutes after bathing
It is known to rise around 5 and this change is normal. The health checker or the controller outputs information for judging normal or abnormal from the normal value and the currently measured heart rate of the bather. The information to be output may be a numerical value alone, or may simultaneously output health condition determination information, comparison information with past data, and the like. This information may be stored as personal information and used as basic data for the next measurement, or a change in personal metabolism may be learned to change the exercise load (neuro function).

The exercise load (hot water temperature, hot water temperature,
Automatically control the amount of air bubbles and the room temperature of the sauna) so that you can enjoy a bath, bubble bath or sauna under conditions that are optimal for your health, or measure the change in heart rate when you change the exercise load. Thereby, the health condition can be checked from various aspects. In the measurement of heart rate, hot water temperature and sauna room temperature are not always the same, so when measuring heart rate, hot water temperature or room temperature is measured simultaneously by a sensor,
The heart rate, the calculation reference, or the output data is corrected.

[0011] Further, the heart rate has a function of monitoring the health of bathing, if the heart rate indicates an abnormal, Toka issues an alarm buzzer and automatically reported to a third party in a wired or wireless.

[0012]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a bathing apparatus. 1 is a bathtub, 2 is a so-called fully automatic water heater having a reheating function, a water supply function and a hot water supply function, 3 is a sensor for detecting heart rate, hot water temperature and room temperature, 4 is a health diagnostic device (arithmetic unit), The bather a puts the sensor 3 on the body before taking a bath, first measures the heart rate in a static state, and then takes a bath directly and measures the heart rate during bathing (exercise load). Health checker 4
Can output a change in heart rate during bathing to the display unit 5 or print out the change. Alternatively, a comparison with the previous one can be printed out. If the heart rate is abnormal, the alarm (circuit) 6 is driven to notify the bather of the abnormality, or a third party is notified to stop bathing or avoid an accident. Although the heart rate and temperature detection functions are added to the sensor 3 in the embodiment, they may be divided.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a controller of the water heater 2. The controller 7 controls the hot water temperature based on a signal from the health diagnostic device 4 so that a change in the heart rate when the hot water temperature changes can be observed. Or a function of controlling the water heater 2 so that the bath temperature can be automatically adjusted based on the change in the heart rate and bathing can be performed under optimal conditions.

FIG . 2 shows that a bubble nozzle 8 is attached to the bathtub 1.
The exercise load based on the heart rate is configured to be changed by adjusting the amount of bubbles ejected from the bubble nozzle 8, and 9 is a bubble pump (bubble generation control device).

FIG . 3 shows an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a sauna room 10. Numeral 11 denotes a sauna room heating device, and the health diagnostic device 4 measures the heart rate in the sauna room 10, outputs the temperature and adjusts the room temperature based on the heart rate in the same manner as the bathing device shown in FIG. 11 can be performed.

[0016]

The present invention has the above-described configuration and has the following effects.

[0017] a. Since the heart rate can be measured while taking a bath, changes in the heart rate under static conditions and exercise conditions can be used to know one's own health status, and can be used for health management.

[0018] b. It is convenient because you can easily check the health.

C. Bathing temperature, air bubble volume, and temperature of the sauna room can be automatically adjusted to the optimal state according to the heart rate, increasing comfort.

D. Since the heart rate can be measured while changing the exercise load, more detailed health data can be obtained.

E. When the heart rate shows an abnormality, a warning and a notification are issued, so that occurrence of an accident at the time of bathing can be avoided beforehand. This is particularly effective for safety measures at the time of bathing for elderly or sickly ill people.
