室内機等の動作設定をリモートコントローラ(以下、単に「リモコン」と略称する。)から設定することのできる空気調和機が知られている。一般に、リモコンは機種が異なると、リモコンの機能も異なる。従来では、空気調和機のリモコンの電池交換したときは、使用者が機能設定されていた設定内容が消えてしまい再設定が行われる。   There is known an air conditioner in which operation settings of an indoor unit or the like can be set from a remote controller (hereinafter simply referred to as “remote controller”). In general, remote control functions vary depending on the model. Conventionally, when the battery of the air conditioner remote control is replaced, the setting contents set by the user disappear and are reset.

その他には、リモコンの機能設定内容を機能情報として室内機に与えておく。室内機ではリモコンから機能情報を受け取ると、それをそのまま記憶装置に記憶しておく。室内機は記憶装置に記憶している機能情報をリモコンに送信する時は、室内機の電源投入時とし、リモコンは室内機から機能情報を受信すると、その機能情報に示される機能設定の内容を自身に反映させる。この結果、室内機の電源投入前にリモコンが交換されていた場合であっても、交換後のリモコンが交換前のリモコンの設定内容で動作することとしているものもある(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
特開2002−130782号公報
In addition, the function setting contents of the remote controller are given to the indoor unit as function information. When the indoor unit receives the function information from the remote controller, it stores it in the storage device as it is. When the indoor unit transmits the function information stored in the storage device to the remote control, the indoor unit is turned on.When the remote controller receives the function information from the indoor unit, the function setting indicated in the function information is displayed. Reflect on yourself. As a result, even if the remote controller has been replaced before the indoor unit is turned on, there is a case where the remote controller after replacement operates with the setting contents of the remote controller before replacement (for example, see Patent Document 1). ).

以下、本発明を実施するための最良の形態について、図面を参照しながら説明する。   The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(実施の形態1)
図1は、本発明の実施の形態1における室内機10とリモコン20を備えた空気調和機を示すブロック図である。
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an air conditioner including an indoor unit 10 and a remote controller 20 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

図1において、室内機10は室内の温度等を目標値になるように動作制御する。リモコン20は有線又は無線で室内機10と相互通信可能な状態に設けられ、通常運転時においてリモコン20は操作された内容(目標値等)を室内機10に送信することで、室内機10の運転状態の設定変更等を行うことができる。   In FIG. 1, the indoor unit 10 controls the operation so that the indoor temperature becomes a target value. The remote controller 20 is provided in a state where it can communicate with the indoor unit 10 by wire or wirelessly. During normal operation, the remote controller 20 transmits the operated content (target value, etc.) to the indoor unit 10. It is possible to change the setting of the operating state.

室内機10は通信部11と制御装置12と記憶装置13とを備えている。なお、これら以外にもファン等の空気調和を行うための機構が設けられることは勿論であるが図1での図示は省略している。   The indoor unit 10 includes a communication unit 11, a control device 12, and a storage device 13. In addition to the above, a mechanism for air conditioning such as a fan is naturally provided, but the illustration in FIG. 1 is omitted.

通信部11はリモコン20とデータの送受信を行うためのものであり、制御装置12は室内機10の空調機構の制御を行う。記憶装置13は制御装置12によってデータの記憶、記憶データの読み出し、記憶データの消去が制御される記憶手段であり、電気的消去可能な不揮発性メモリである。   The communication unit 11 is for transmitting and receiving data to and from the remote controller 20, and the control device 12 controls the air conditioning mechanism of the indoor unit 10. The storage device 13 is a storage unit that is controlled by the control device 12 to store data, read stored data, and erase stored data, and is an electrically erasable nonvolatile memory.

記憶装置13には室内機10を制御するための制御パラメータが記憶される領域が確保されるとともに、リモコン20より受信するデータを記憶するための記憶領域も確保される。また、記憶装置13に記憶された内容は、室内機10の電源がオフされた場合でも消
滅することはない。
In the storage device 13, an area for storing control parameters for controlling the indoor unit 10 is secured, and a storage area for storing data received from the remote controller 20 is also secured. Further, the content stored in the storage device 13 does not disappear even when the power of the indoor unit 10 is turned off.

リモコン20は通信部21と制御装置22と記憶装置23とボタン部24を備えており、通信部21は室内機10とデータの送受信を行う。また、制御装置22はリモコン20における各機能の設定を行う。また、所定のボタン部24を押下し設定を行った時、制御装置22は機能して、通信部21を介して室内機10とのデータの送受信を行い、室内機10の記憶装置13に記憶されている設定内容をリモコン20の内部に設けられた記憶装置23にアクセスすることができる。記憶装置23は、室内機10の記憶装置13のような不揮発メモリではないため、電池交換等で設定内容が消えてしまう。   The remote controller 20 includes a communication unit 21, a control device 22, a storage device 23, and a button unit 24. The communication unit 21 transmits and receives data to and from the indoor unit 10. In addition, the control device 22 sets each function in the remote controller 20. When the predetermined button unit 24 is pressed and set, the control device 22 functions to transmit / receive data to / from the indoor unit 10 via the communication unit 21 and store the data in the storage device 13 of the indoor unit 10. The set contents can be accessed to the storage device 23 provided in the remote controller 20. Since the storage device 23 is not a non-volatile memory like the storage device 13 of the indoor unit 10, the setting contents are lost by battery replacement or the like.

上記の構成において、リモコン20は各機能の設定を行った場合、設定内容を記憶内容として室内機10に対して送信する。この送信のタイミングは、制御装置22が機能して、リモコン20の機能設定を新たに設定した場合や変更した場合である。   In the above configuration, when the remote controller 20 sets each function, the remote controller 20 transmits the setting contents as stored contents to the indoor unit 10. This transmission timing is when the control device 22 functions and the function setting of the remote controller 20 is newly set or changed.

この設定内容を室内機10の記憶装置13に記憶される。記憶装置13の記憶内容は使用者が設定可能な機能とし、例えばマニュアル操作等によって設定される機能がある。   This setting content is stored in the storage device 13 of the indoor unit 10. The storage contents of the storage device 13 are functions that can be set by the user, for example, a function that is set by manual operation or the like.

また、室内機10の記憶装置13に記憶されている機能設定内容をリモコン20の記憶装置23に送信するタイミングは、リモコン20に設けた所定のボタン24を数秒間、押下すると制御装置22は機能して通信部21を介して室内機10とのデータの送受信を行い、室内機10の記憶装置13に記憶されている設定内容をリモコン20の内部に設けられた記憶装置23にアクセスすることで容易に機能設定することが可能になる。   The timing of transmitting the function setting contents stored in the storage device 13 of the indoor unit 10 to the storage device 23 of the remote controller 20 is such that the control device 22 functions when the predetermined button 24 provided on the remote controller 20 is pressed for several seconds. Then, data is transmitted to and received from the indoor unit 10 via the communication unit 21, and the setting content stored in the storage device 13 of the indoor unit 10 is accessed to the storage device 23 provided inside the remote controller 20. Function setting can be easily performed.

以上のように、リモコンの機能設定が容易にできるように、リモコンに設けた所定のボタンを押下することで室内機の記憶データをリモコンに容易に呼び出し機能設定させることができる。   As described above, the stored data of the indoor unit can be easily called and set to the remote controller by pressing a predetermined button provided on the remote controller so that the remote controller function can be easily set.

その結果、使用者の好みで設定されている機能設定が消えた場合でも、設定内容を呼び出すことで、容易に機能設定が可能となり、使用性を向上させた空気調和機を提供することができる。   As a result, even if the function setting set by the user's preference disappears, it is possible to easily set the function by calling the setting contents, and it is possible to provide an air conditioner with improved usability. .

以上のように、本発明にかかる空気調和機は、壁掛け用の空気調和機だけでなく、天井埋め込み型の空気調和機でも同様の効果を得ることができる。   As described above, the air conditioner according to the present invention can obtain the same effect not only with a wall-mounted air conditioner but also with a ceiling-embedded air conditioner.
