2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a paper holder is provided near a toilet such as a home toilet or public toilet.
The user pulls out the toilet paper set in the paper holder from the end portion by a required length and cuts it at the end portion of the cover plate of the paper holder for use. However, with such a method, drawing and cutting of the toilet paper is troublesome, and it may be very difficult to use for an old man, a child, or a physically handicapped person. Also, when pulling out the toilet paper from the holder,
Hands may touch places other than paper, which is not good for hygiene. Furthermore, when taking out the paper from the roll and cutting it, pull it out more than necessary and waste it,
Alternatively, for toilet seats with a washer, since the local area is washed with warm water after use, when wiping off the area after cleaning with toilet paper, if the number of stacked paper sheets is small, the paper will melt with warm water and the finger will directly touch the local area. However, there was a drawback that it was not good for hygiene.

Therefore, in order to eliminate such a drawback, as described in Japanese Patent Application No. 3-87489, "Automatic Toilet Paper Winding / Cutting Device", for example, the user of the toilet bowl himself / herself Instead of pulling out and cutting, the paper is cut to a length suitable for the usage situation at that time, and the series of operations of stacking the paper in a thickness corresponding to the user's intention and taking it out in a usable state is automatically controlled. By doing so, it is considered that the effects such as hygiene, convenience, and economics are further enhanced and the reliability thereof is dramatically improved.

Next, the operation of this embodiment having the above configuration will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing each process of the battery voltage monitoring, the automatic supply of toilet paper, and the remote operation of the hot water washing device executed by the one-chip microprocessor 66. First, when you turn on the power to the device,
The CPU 44a of the one-chip microprocessor 66 executes the battery voltage monitoring process and proceeds to step 100. In step 100, it is determined whether or not the voltage of the battery 22 of the power supply circuit 64 is equal to or higher than the set voltage V ₁ (4.5 V in this embodiment), and if it is determined that the voltage of the battery 22 is equal to or higher than the set voltage V ₁ , the CPU 44a Ends the battery voltage monitoring process once, moves to step 150, and starts the toilet paper automatic supply process. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 100 that the voltage of the battery 22 is lower than the set voltage V ₁ , the CPU 44a continues the battery voltage monitoring process and proceeds to step 110. When the process proceeds to step 110, this time the power supply circuit 64
The voltage of the battery 22 is set voltage V ₂ (4V in this embodiment)
It is determined whether or not there is the above, and the voltage of the battery 22 is set to the set voltage V ₂
When it is determined that the above is present, the CPU 44a determines in step 120.
Then, the lamp for warning the voltage drop of the display circuit 68 is blinked, the battery voltage monitoring process is once terminated, and the process proceeds to step 150. On the other hand, step 11
When it is determined that the voltage of the battery 22 is lower than the set voltage V ₂ at 0, the process proceeds to step 130 and the display circuit 68
The lamp for warning the voltage drop is turned on, and the process proceeds to step 140. In step 140, the CPU 44
a stops all the drive systems of this apparatus, and this processing ends. On the other hand, when the process proceeds to step 150 and the automatic toilet paper supply process is started, first, step 150
Then, the paper detection signal from the phototransistor Ptr ₁ is read to determine whether the paper is in the supply state. If it is determined that the paper is in the supply state, step 1
When it is determined that the paper is not in the supply state in step 60, step 150 is repeated until the paper is supplied.
On the other hand, when the process proceeds to step 160, it is determined whether or not there is a winding number input signal from the operation circuit 62, and when it is determined that there is an input signal, the process proceeds to step 170. If it is determined that there is no input signal, step 1
Wait at 60. Here, when the process proceeds to step 170, the CPU 44a sends the read input data to the RA
It is stored in M44c and the process proceeds to step 180.
After shifting to step 180, the CPU 44a causes the RAM 4
The paper take-up motor drive signal corresponding to the data stored in 4c is read from the ROM 44b, and the relay circuit 6 is read.
7 and the process proceeds to step 190 immediately. As a result, the relay circuit 67 drives the motor 38 to start winding the paper. At this time, step 1
At 90, it is determined whether or not a foreign substance has entered the take-out port E of the front cover 12, and if it is determined that no foreign substance is present, the process proceeds to step 200. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 190 that there is a foreign substance, the drive system of this apparatus is temporarily stopped, and step 190 is repeated until the foreign substance is removed. Then, when the foreign matter is removed in step 190,
Then, the process proceeds to step 200. After shifting to step 200, the CPU 44a causes the rotary encoder 43 to operate.
Once the pulse signal from is read and the rotation speed and number of revolutions of the winding disk 19 are instantly calculated from the pulse signal, the process proceeds to step 210 and the ROM 44b.
The paper feed motor drive signal read in from is output to the relay circuit 67. As a result, the motor 26 and the motor 3
8 is driven synchronously by feedback control, and the paper is sequentially supplied without being cut or loosened. When the series of processes in steps 200 and 210 is completed, the process proceeds to step 220 and the motors 26 and 38 are stopped. Then, the process proceeds to step 230, and the CPU 44
The a reads the paper cutting motor drive signal from the ROM 44b and outputs it to the relay circuit 67. As a result, the motor 28 is driven and the paper is separated from the main body. When the processing up to this point is completed, the CPU 44a temporarily interrupts the toilet paper automatic supply processing and executes the remote operation processing of the hot water cleaning device. When the remote operation processing of the hot water cleaning device is started, first, the CPU 44a executes step 2
In step 40, it is determined whether or not an operation signal for the hot water cleaning device is input to the remote control operation circuit 63. At this time, CPU
If 44a determines that there is an input signal from the remote control operation circuit 63, the process proceeds to step 250, and if not, it proceeds to step 270. After shifting to step 250, the CPU 44a receives the operation signal of the hot water washing device (drive signal for washing the buttocks, massage, bidet, move, dry, stop, nozzle forward / backward adjustment, nozzle strength adjustment, etc.) input from the remote control operation circuit 63. Correspondingly, ROM44 beforehand
The code signal stored in b is read once, and the process proceeds to step 260. When moving to step 260, the CP
The U44a outputs the code signal read in step 250 to the remote control transmission circuit 69. Then, the remote control transmission circuit 69 converts the input code signal into an infrared signal and transmits the infrared signal from the transmission unit RT of the front cover 12 to the outside. As a result, the hot water washing device of the external device is remotely operated. Then, the process proceeds to step 270, and the CPU 44a
Ends the remote control process of the hot water washing device and returns to the automatic toilet paper supply process again. Step 270
Then, it is determined whether or not the paper wound around the winding shaft 18 of the winding disk 19 is removed from the winding shaft 18. If it is determined in step 270 that the paper has been removed from the winding shaft 18, the process proceeds to step 280. If it is determined that the paper has not been removed, the process waits until it is removed. After shifting to step 280, the CPU 44a determines whether or not the number of windings is input again. If it is determined that there is an input, the process returns to step 150 to continue the processing. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no input, this series of processing is temporarily terminated.
