Abstract

Provided is a method of controlling temperature of warm water of a bidet. The method includes: a first step of detecting a current temperature of warm water stored in a storage tank; a second step of gradually adjusting intensity of power supplied to a heating means depending on a difference when the current temperature of the warm water is lower than a target temperature; and a third step of cutting the power supplied to the heating means when the current temperature of the warm water is equal to the target temperature after the second step. Therefore, the warm water can be precisely maintained at a set temperature by checking a temperature of cleaning water in a storage tank using a sensor in real time, and gradually controlling intensity of power supplied to a heating means on the basis of the checked water temperature.

Claims (5)

1. A method of controlling temperature of warm water of a bidet comprising:

a first step of detecting a current temperature of warm water stored in a storage tank; and

a second step of comparing the detected current temperature with a set target temperature, and gradually adjusting intensity of power supplied to a heating means depending on a difference between the current temperature and the target temperature,

wherein adjusting the intensity of power includes supplying a power of 60% to the heating means when the current temperature is 1° C. lower than the target temperature, supplying a power of 80% to the heating means when the current temperature is 2° C. lower than the target temperature, and supplying a power of 100% the heating means when the current temperature is 3° C. lower than the target temperature.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a third step of cutting the power supplied to the heating means when the current temperature of the warm water is equal to the target temperature after the second step.
