Description

The present disclosure relates to an air conditioning system including an air conditioner.

Childhood asthma has long been a social problem, but asthma is closely related to temperature, and it has been found that the risk of developing asthma after a sudden temperature drop is high (in medical books, temperatures exceeding 3°C for 5 hours A decrease in body temperature is said to have an adverse effect on the body.According to our research, we found that an asthma attack occurs when the temperature changes more than 3°C for one hour.) In recent years, there has been a growing recognition that air conditioners are “devices that maintain health,” such as the use of air conditioners as a countermeasure against heat stroke. , which can be a risk for asthma because it causes rapid temperature changes in the air-conditioned space.

Therefore, in order to prevent adverse effects on the user's body due to sudden temperature changes in the air-conditioned space when the set temperature is set significantly different from the temperature of the air-conditioned space due to erroneous operation of the remote control, etc., the user sets the temperature. There is known an air conditioner that, after setting the temperature, presents a plurality of setting temperature candidates to the user at regular time intervals and allows the user to select one setting temperature (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

(Step S101)
The control device 23 acquires the target temperature and target time information transmitted from the adapter 2 or the operation terminal 8 . When the setting means is operated by the user to set the target temperature and the target time, the adapter 2 or the operating terminal 8 transmits information on the target temperature and the target time to the central remote control device 7 .

(Step S102)
The control device 23 acquires the room temperature information transmitted from the adapter 2 . Room temperature information is obtained from the room temperature sensor 3 and transmitted by the adapter 2 to the centralized remote control device 7 during regular communication.

The control device 23 determines whether it is time to start the operation of the air conditioner 1 based on the target temperature, the target time, and the room temperature obtained in steps S101 and S102, and the preset healthy temperature slope. judge. Here, the healthy temperature slope is a temperature change per unit time for determining whether a burden is applied to the human body. When the temperature change per unit time of the air-conditioned space exceeds the healthy temperature slope, It can be determined that a burden is applied to the human body. For example, the control device 23 determines that it is time to start the operation of the air conditioner 1 when (target time−current time)×healthy temperature slope≦(current room temperature−target temperature). When the control device 23 determines that it is time to start the operation of the air conditioner 1, the process proceeds to step S105. On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that it is not time to start the operation of the air conditioner 1, the process proceeds to step S104.

(Step S104)
The controller 23 determines whether the current time has reached the target time. When the control device 23 determines that the current time has reached the target time, the control ends. On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that the current time has not reached the target time, the process returns to step S102.

(Step S105)
The control device 23 transmits operation start information to the air conditioner 1 . Note that when the air conditioner 1 receives the operation start information via the adapter 2, the air conditioner 1 starts operation. Here, the operation start information includes temperature setting information, and this setting temperature is set to a value such that the temperature change per unit time of the air-conditioned space does not exceed the healthy temperature slope.

(Step S106)
The control device 23 acquires the room temperature information transmitted from the adapter 2 . Room temperature information is obtained from the room temperature sensor 3 and transmitted by the adapter 2 to the centralized remote control device 7 during regular communication.

(Step S107)
The controller 23 determines whether the room temperature has reached the target temperature. When the control device 23 determines that the room temperature has reached the target temperature, the control ends. On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that the room temperature has not reached the target temperature, the process proceeds to step S108.

(Step S108)
The control device 23 determines whether or not the update time has elapsed since the previous transmission of the temperature setting information to the air conditioner 1 . Here, the update time is, for example, [(60/healthy temperature gradient)×minimum unit of set temperature] minutes. If the slope of the healthy temperature is 3°C/h (3°C per hour) and the minimum unit of the set temperature is 0.5°C, the update time is (60/3) x 0.5 = 10 minutes. . When the control device 23 determines that the update time has elapsed since the previous transmission of the temperature setting information to the air conditioner 1, the process proceeds to step S109. On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that the update time has not elapsed since the previous transmission of the temperature setting information to the air conditioner 1, the process proceeds to step S110.

For example, if the target temperature is 25°C, the current set temperature is 27°C, and the minimum unit of the set temperature is 0.5°C, the (next) set temperature will be 26.5°C. However, the set temperature is set to a value such that the temperature change per unit time in the air-conditioned space does not exceed the healthy temperature slope.

(Step S110)
The controller 23 determines whether the current time has reached the target time. When the control device 23 determines that the current time has reached the target time, the control ends. On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that the current time has not reached the target time, the process returns to step S106.

During the control shown in FIG. 4, the control device 23 transmits progress information to each operation terminal 8 to which the connection setting of the air conditioning system has been performed, and causes the display screen of each operation terminal 8 to display the progress information. Here, the elapsed information is information on the temperature of the air-conditioned space with respect to the elapsed time from the reference time, and is information indicating the temperature change in the air-conditioned space from the reference time to the elapsed time. The reference time is, for example, the time when the target temperature and the target time are set by the user, or the time when the operation of the air conditioner 1 is started. By displaying the progress information on the display screen of the operation terminal 8 in this manner, the temperature can be checked even when the user is not in the air-conditioned space, and the temperature of the air-conditioned space can be managed. becomes possible.

The above description is for the case where the air conditioner 1 is in a stopped state at the start of the control flow shown in FIG. Other than that, they are the same.

FIG. 5 is a time transition diagram showing transition of room temperature and set temperature in control of the air conditioning system according to Embodiment 1. FIG.

For example, if the user wishes to set the temperature of the air-conditioned space to 25° C. at 6:00 in the morning before going to bed, the user sets “target temperature: 25° C.” and “target time: 6:00” using the setting means. The control device 23 determines whether it is time to start the operation of the air conditioner 1 based on the target temperature, the target time, and the room temperature sent for each periodic communication. If the healthy temperature slope is 3° C./h (3° C. per hour), the control device 23 starts the cooling operation when the room temperature reaches 28° C. at 5:00 in the morning. Assuming that the minimum unit of the set temperature is 0.5°C, the set temperature is set to 27.5°C, which is 0.5°C lower than the room temperature at the start of operation, and is lowered by 0.5°C every 10 minutes, which is the update time. By setting the temperature, the room temperature can reach the target temperature while avoiding sudden temperature changes. FIG. 5 shows the transition between the room temperature and the set temperature at this time.

As in the control shown in FIG. 4, when air conditioning is controlled to reduce the burden on the human body, it is conceivable that the room temperature will not reach the target temperature by the target time. Any one of load priority control, time priority control, and selection control is performed.

The human body load priority control performs the control shown in Fig. 4, sets the temperature to a value such that the temperature change per unit time in the air-conditioned space does not exceed the healthy temperature slope until the target time is reached, and when the target time is reached This control is to set the target temperature to the set temperature.

The time-prioritized control, in the control shown in FIG. 4, is control that changes the value of the healthy temperature slope so that the target temperature can be reached at the target time and the burden on the human body is reduced as much as possible.

In the selection control, when the user sets the target temperature and the target time from the setting means, the setting means notifies the contents of "The target temperature cannot be reached by the target time. Do you want to execute?" Then, when the user inputs "Yes" from the setting means, the control shown in FIG. 4 is performed as it is. This control is the same as the human load priority control. On the other hand, when the user inputs "No" from the setting means, the temperature change over time is calculated such that the target temperature can be reached at the target time and the burden on the human body is reduced as much as possible. , notifies "Temperature transition over time" and also notifies the content of "Do you want to execute with this temperature transition?" Then, when the user inputs "Yes" from the setting means, the control shown in FIG. 4 is performed so that the temperature changes with respect to the calculated elapsed time. Note that this control is the same as the time priority control. On the other hand, when the user inputs "No" from the setting means, the setting means notifies the contents of "reset the target temperature and target time".

In the control flow of the remote control centralized control device 7 described above, a specific time is set for the target time. good too. When the target time is set to "unset", the control flow of the centralized remote control device 7 is as follows.

However, in the modification of the air conditioning system according to Embodiment 1, the target time is set to "not set". It is determined that it is time to start the operation of No. 1. Alternatively, the control device 23 causes the display screen of the setting means to display the temperature transition over time, an operation start button, and a cancel button, and starts the operation of the air conditioner 1 when the user presses the operation start button. Determine that it is time. When the control device 23 determines that it is time to start the operation of the air conditioner 1, the process proceeds to step S104a. On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that it is not time to start the operation of the air conditioner 1, the process returns to step S101a.

(Step S104a)
The control device 23 transmits operation start information to the air conditioner 1 . Note that when the air conditioner 1 receives the operation start information via the adapter 2, the air conditioner 1 starts operation. Here, the operation start information includes temperature setting information, and this setting temperature is set to a value such that the temperature change per unit time of the air-conditioned space does not exceed the healthy temperature slope.

(Step S107a)
The control device 23 determines whether or not the update time has elapsed since the previous transmission of the temperature setting information to the air conditioner 1 . Here, the update time is, for example, [(60/healthy temperature gradient)×minimum unit of set temperature] minutes. If the slope of the healthy temperature is 3°C/h (3°C per hour) and the minimum unit of the set temperature is 0.5°C, the update time is (60/3) x 0.5 = 10 minutes. . When the control device 23 determines that the update time has elapsed since the previous transmission of the temperature setting information to the air conditioner 1, the process proceeds to step S108a. On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that the update time has not elapsed since the previous transmission of the temperature setting information to the air conditioner 1, the process returns to step S105a.

(Step S108a)
The control device 23 transmits information on the (next) set temperature to the air conditioner 1 . At this time, the (next) set temperature is the temperature that is closer to the target temperature from the current set temperature by the minimum unit of the set temperature. For example, if the target temperature is 25°C, the current set temperature is 27°C, and the minimum unit of the set temperature is 0.5°C, the (next) set temperature will be 26.5°C. However, the set temperature is set to a value such that the temperature change per unit time in the air-conditioned space does not exceed the healthy temperature slope.

On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that the current time has not reached the target time, the process returns to step S202.

Note that the processing of steps S207 to S212 is the same as the processing of steps S105 to S110 in the first embodiment, so description thereof will be omitted.

For example, in the case of “temperature that puts a burden on the human body: 28° C. or higher”, “target temperature: 26° C.”, and “room temperature: 32° C.”, the control device 23 sets the target temperature of 26° C. 1 and causes the air conditioner 1 to perform cooling operation with the set temperature set to 26°C. Then, when the room temperature becomes lower than 28°C, the physical load reduction control described in the first embodiment is performed to set the room temperature to 26°C.

Although not shown in FIG. 7, when the room temperature becomes equal to or higher than the threshold during the processing of steps S207 to S212, the processing of steps S201 to 204 is performed, and when the room temperature becomes less than the threshold, the processing of steps S207 to S212 is performed. may be controlled to restart.

Also, the above description is for the case where the air conditioner 1 is in a stopped state at the start of the control flow shown in FIG. Other than that, they are the same.

As described above, in the air conditioning system according to Embodiment 2, when the target temperature and the target time are set for the air conditioner 1 by the setting means, the control device 23 sets the temperature of the air-conditioned space in advance. While the target temperature is equal to or higher than the threshold, normal control is performed to transmit the target temperature to the air conditioner 1 as the set temperature.

According to the air conditioning system according to Embodiment 2, normal control is performed while the temperature of the air-conditioned space is equal to or higher than the threshold, and physical load reduction control is performed while the temperature of the air-conditioned space is less than the threshold. Rapid temperature changes can be suppressed while expediting the arrival of the

Embodiment 3.
Embodiment 3 will be described below, but the description of the parts that overlap with those of Embodiment 1 will be omitted, and the same reference numerals will be given to parts that are the same as or correspond to those of Embodiment 1. FIG.

The physical load reduction control of Embodiment 1 requires a longer time than normal control until the air-conditioned space reaches a comfortable temperature. Also, the physical load reduction control has no advantage when there are no people in the air-conditioned space. Therefore, in Embodiment 3, the presence or absence of a person is discriminated, and normal control and physical load reduction control are used properly. Specifically, in the third embodiment, normal control is performed when there is no person in the air-conditioned space, and physical load reduction control is performed after a person comes to the air-conditioned space.

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of an air conditioning system according to Embodiment 3. As shown in FIG. FIG. 9 is a functional block diagram of the air conditioner 1 of the air conditioning system according to Embodiment 3. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 8 , the air conditioner 1 includes a human sensor 201 that detects a person in the living room 6 . Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the information about the presence or absence of people in the living room 6 acquired by the human sensor 201 is transmitted to the input unit 11 and processed by the input unit 11 as input information. The human sensor 201 is, for example, an infrared sensor or a visible camera.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a control flow of the remote control centralized control device 7 for the air conditioning system according to Embodiment 3. As shown in FIG.

A control flow of the remote control centralized control device 7 for the air conditioning system according to Embodiment 3 will be described below with reference to FIG. It is assumed that the air conditioner 1 is in a stopped state at the start of the control flow shown in FIG. It is also assumed that no one is in the living room 6 when the control flow shown in FIG. 10 is started. For example, when the living room 6 is a bedroom, the target temperature and target time are set to cool the bedroom before going to bed, but the user does not enter the bedroom even when the operation start time comes. .

Since the processing of steps S301 to S307 is the same as the processing of steps S101 to S107 in the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

(Step S308)
The control device 23 acquires information about the presence or absence of people in the living room 6 transmitted from the adapter 2 . Information on the presence or absence of a person in the living room 6 is obtained from the human sensor 201, and transmitted by the adapter 2 to the remote control centralized control device 7 during regular communication.

(Step S309)
The control device 23 determines whether or not there is a person in the living room 6 . When the control device 23 determines that there is a person in the living room 6, the process proceeds to step S311. On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that there is no person in the living room 6, the process proceeds to step S310.

(Step S310)
The control device 23 sets the target temperature as the set temperature, and transmits information on the set temperature to the air conditioner 1 .

(Step S311)
The control device 23 determines whether or not the update time has elapsed since the previous transmission of the temperature setting information to the air conditioner 1 . Here, the update time is, for example, [(60/healthy temperature gradient)×minimum unit of set temperature] minutes. If the slope of the healthy temperature is 3°C/h (3°C per hour) and the minimum unit of the set temperature is 0.5°C, the update time is (60/3) x 0.5 = 10 minutes. . When the control device 23 determines that the update time has elapsed since the previous transmission of the temperature setting information to the air conditioner 1, the process proceeds to step S312. On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that the update time has not elapsed since the previous transmission of the temperature setting information to the air conditioner 1, the process proceeds to step S313.

(Step S312)
The control device 23 transmits information on the (next) set temperature to the air conditioner 1 . At this time, the (next) set temperature is the temperature that is closer to the target temperature from the current set temperature by the minimum unit of the set temperature. For example, if the target temperature is 25°C, the current set temperature is 27°C, and the minimum unit of the set temperature is 0.5°C, the (next) set temperature will be 26.5°C. However, the set temperature is set to a value such that the temperature change per unit time in the air-conditioned space does not exceed the healthy temperature slope.

(Step S313)
The controller 23 determines whether the current time has reached the target time. When the control device 23 determines that the current time has reached the target time, the control ends. On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that the current time has not reached the target time, the process returns to step S306.

For example, when the room temperature in the bedroom is 30° C. at 21:00, the user uses the setting means to set “target temperature: 24° C.” and “target time: 23:00” to the air conditioner 1 in the bedroom at 21:00. If the setting is made and the user enters the bedroom at 22:00, the room temperature at 23:00 is 27° C. in the physical load reduction control according to the first embodiment. On the other hand, in the control of the third embodiment, since there is no one in the bedroom from 21:00 to 22:00, normal control is performed.

Moreover, the control of Embodiment 3 is effective particularly when the room temperature is far from the target temperature and the current time is close to the target time. For example, if the user sets "target temperature: 23°C" and "target time: 23:00" at 22:00, if the current room temperature is 30°C, even though the air-conditioning time is only one hour, , a room temperature reduction of 7° C. is required. Also, if the healthy temperature slope is 3° C./h (3° C. per hour), it is impossible to bring the room temperature to the target temperature by the target time. However, in the control of Embodiment 3, the probability that the room temperature can reach the target temperature by the target time is increased by performing the normal control while there is no one in the air-conditioned space. If no person is detected in the air-conditioned space for 30 minutes from 22:00, the room temperature reaches 25.5° C. at 22:30 by performing normal control during that time. Then, when a person is detected in the air-conditioned space, the body load reduction control of the first embodiment is performed thereafter, so that the room temperature is lowered by 1.5° C. by 23:00 of the target time. Therefore, the room temperature can be brought to the target temperature by the target time.

As described above, the air conditioning system according to Embodiment 3 includes the human sensor 201 that detects the presence or absence of a person in the air-conditioned space, and when the target temperature and the target time are set for the air conditioner 1 by the setting means, , the control device 23 performs normal control to transmit the target temperature as the set temperature to the air conditioner 1 while a person in the air-conditioned space is not detected, and while a person in the air-conditioned space is detected is for physical load reduction control.

According to the air conditioning system according to Embodiment 3, normal control is performed while a person in the air-conditioned space is not detected, and physical load reduction control is performed while a person in the air-conditioned space is detected. Rapid temperature changes can be suppressed while shortening the time until the air-conditioned space reaches a comfortable temperature.

Embodiment 4.
Embodiment 4 will be described below, but descriptions of parts that overlap with those of Embodiment 1 will be omitted, and parts that are the same as or correspond to those of Embodiment 1 will be given the same reference numerals.

When the user moves between rooms, if there is a large temperature difference between the room from which the user moves and the room to which the user moves, a burden is placed on the human body. Therefore, in Embodiment 4, the burden on the human body is reduced by reducing the temperature difference between the room of the source of movement and the room of the destination of movement.

The remote controller 4 transmits user setting information to the air conditioner 1 , and the remote controller 404 transmits user setting information to the air conditioner 401 . The router 5 transmits and receives information transmitted and received via the network 9 to and from the adapter 2, 402. The adapter 2, 402 is provided outside the air conditioner 1, 401 as shown in FIG. However, it is not limited to this, and may be provided inside the air conditioner 1 , 401 .

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the control flow of the centralized remote control device 7 for the air conditioning system according to Embodiment 4. As shown in FIG.

A control flow of the remote control centralized control device 7 for the air conditioning system according to Embodiment 4 will be described below with reference to FIG. 12 . At the start of the control flow shown in FIG. 12, it is assumed that the user is in living room 6, air conditioner 1 in living room 6 is in operation, and air conditioner 401 in living room 406 is in a stopped state. After starting the control flow shown in FIG. 12, the user moves from living room 6 to living room 406 .

For example, the control device 23 determines that it is time to start the operation of the air conditioner 401 when (target time−current time)×healthy temperature slope≦(current living room temperature−target temperature). When the control device 23 determines that it is time to start the operation of the air conditioner 401, the process proceeds to step S405. On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that it is not time to start the operation of the air conditioner 401, the process proceeds to step S404.

(Step S404)
The controller 23 determines whether the current time has reached the target time. When the control device 23 determines that the current time has reached the target time, the control ends. On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that the current time has not reached the target time, the process returns to step S402.

(Step S405)
The control device 23 determines whether or not there is a person in the living room 6 . When the control device 23 determines that there is a person in the living room 6, the process proceeds to step S406. On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that there is no person in the living room 6, the process proceeds to step S408.

In step S405, if the air conditioner 1 is provided with a human sensor, the control device 23 determines whether or not there is a person in the living room 6 based on whether the human sensor detects a person in the living room 6. Alternatively, the target temperature and the target temperature may be determined for air conditioner 401 within a preset time after air conditioner 1 stops. It may be determined based on whether the time has been set. When the air conditioner 1 is in operation, it can be considered that there is a person in the living room 6 . Further, assuming that the air conditioner 1 is stopped shortly before moving to another room, the target temperature and the target time are set for the air conditioner 401 within a preset time after the air conditioner 1 is stopped. Even if it is set, it can be considered that there is a person in the living room 6 .

(Step S406)
The control device 23 acquires the temperature information of the living room 6 transmitted from the adapter 2 . Information on the temperature of the living room 6 is obtained from the room temperature sensor 3, and the adapter 2 transmits the information to the centralized remote control device 7 during regular communication.

(Step S407)
Control device 23 transmits operation start information to air conditioner 401 . Note that when the air conditioner 401 receives the operation start information via the adapter 402, the air conditioner 401 starts operation. Here, the operation start information includes information on the set temperature, and the room temperature of the living room 6 is set as the set temperature.

(Step S408)
Control device 23 transmits operation start information to air conditioner 401 . Note that when the air conditioner 401 receives the operation start information via the adapter 2, the air conditioner 401 starts operation. Here, the operation start information includes set temperature information, and this set temperature is set to a value such that the temperature change per unit time in the air-conditioned space does not exceed the healthy temperature slope.

(Step S409)
The control device 23 acquires temperature information of the living room 406 transmitted from the adapter 402 . Information on the temperature of the living room 406 is obtained from the room temperature sensor 403, and transmitted to the remote control centralized management device 7 by the adapter 402 during regular communication.

(Step S410)
The control device 23 determines whether the temperature of the living room 406 has reached the target temperature. When the control device 23 determines that the temperature of the living room 406 has reached the target temperature, the control ends. On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that the temperature of the living room 406 has not reached the target temperature, the process proceeds to step S411.

(Step S411)
The control device 23 determines whether or not the update time has elapsed since the previous transmission of the temperature setting information to the air conditioner 401 . Here, the update time is, for example, [(60/healthy temperature gradient)×minimum unit of set temperature] minutes. If the slope of the healthy temperature is 3°C/h (3°C per hour) and the minimum unit of the set temperature is 0.5°C, the update time is (60/3) x 0.5 = 10 minutes. . If the control device 23 determines that the update time has passed since the previous transmission of the temperature setting information to the air conditioner 401, the process proceeds to step S412. On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that the update time has not elapsed since the previous transmission of the temperature setting information to the air conditioner 401, the process proceeds to step S413.

(Step S412)
The control device 23 transmits information on the (next) set temperature to the air conditioner 401 . At this time, the (next) set temperature is the temperature that is closer to the target temperature from the current set temperature by the minimum unit of the set temperature. For example, if the target temperature is 25°C, the current set temperature is 27°C, and the minimum unit of the set temperature is 0.5°C, the (next) set temperature will be 26.5°C. However, the set temperature is set to a value such that the temperature change per unit time in the air-conditioned space does not exceed the healthy temperature slope.

(Step S413)

On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that the current time has not reached the target time, the process returns to step S409.

For example, let living room 6 be a living room and living room 406 be a bedroom. When the user is spending time in the living room before going to bed, the target temperature and target time are set for the air conditioner 401 in the bedroom. At this time, if the living room is air-conditioned and the temperature is 23° C. and the bedroom is not air-conditioned and the temperature is 28° C., the physical load reduction control of the first embodiment will not easily lower the temperature of the bedroom, and the user will be expected to wait longer than the target time. If you move to the bedroom early, the burden on the human body will increase, such as sweating before going to bed. Therefore, as in Embodiment 4, while the user is in the living room of the movement source, the temperature of the bedroom of the movement destination is set to the same temperature as that of the living room of the movement source, and when the user moves to the bedroom, the physical load reduction control of Embodiment 1 is performed. By performing , the temperature difference between the room at the source and the room at the destination is reduced, so it is possible to reduce the burden on the human body.

As described above, the air conditioning system according to Embodiment 4 includes two air conditioners 1 and 401 for air conditioning different air-conditioned spaces, and one air conditioner 1 for air-conditioning one of the air-conditioned spaces operates. and the other air conditioner 401 that air-conditions the other air-conditioned space is in a stopped state, and the target temperature and the target time are set for the other air conditioner 401 by the setting means, the control device 23 While detecting a person in one air-conditioned space, normal control is performed to transmit the temperature of one air-conditioned space as a set temperature to the other air conditioner 401, and a person in one air-conditioned space is detected. While not detected, based on the target temperature, target time, and temperature of the other air-conditioned space, the set temperature is calculated so that the temperature change per unit time of the other air-conditioned space does not exceed the healthy temperature slope. Then, the body load reduction control is performed by transmitting the set temperature to the other air conditioner 401 at every update time.

According to the air conditioning system according to the fourth embodiment, while a person is detected in one air-conditioned space, which is the movement source, normal control is performed to maintain the same temperature environment as that of the one air-conditioned space in the other space, which is the destination. Create it in the air-conditioned space. Therefore, the temperature change between the movement destination and the movement source can be reduced.

Embodiment 5.
Embodiment 5 will be described below, but the description of the parts that overlap with those of Embodiment 1 will be omitted, and the same reference numerals will be given to parts that are the same as or correspond to those of Embodiment 1. FIG.

When the heating operation of the air conditioner 1 is stopped in winter, the temperature of the air-conditioned space may drop rapidly depending on the airtightness of the house. However, since humans become insensitive to temperature changes, especially during sleep, it is very difficult to notice a rapid temperature drop in the air-conditioned space. Also, the temperature of the air taken into the lungs is important to prevent asthma attacks. During sleep, the body feels warm because it is in the futon, but the temperature taken into the lungs is low, so depending on the temperature transition, the risk of asthma attack increases. However, many users want to stop the operation of the air conditioner 1 during sleep to save power. Therefore, in Embodiment 5, when it learns that the airtightness of the house is low, even if the stop is set by the setting means, by performing the heating operation with suppressed capacity for a while, the rapid temperature change in the space to be air-conditioned is performed. is avoided, and the operation of the air conditioner 1 is stopped after the temperature of the air-conditioned space has decreased to a certain temperature difference from the outside air temperature, thereby reducing the burden on the human body.

Outside air temperature sensor 502 is, for example, a thermistor, but is not limited thereto. Then, as shown in FIG. 14, the outside air temperature information acquired by the outside air temperature sensor 502 is transmitted to the input unit 11 and processed as input information by the input unit 11 .

Here, the airtightness and heat insulating performance of the housing performance are such that when the room temperature is uniform while the air conditioner 1 is operating, the heat balance of the room in which the air conditioner 1 is operating is balanced. Therefore, it can be estimated from the temperature difference between the room temperature and the outside air temperature at this time and the amount of heat input by the air conditioner 1 (blowing temperature and blowing air volume). At this time, the influence of solar radiation and the influence of other heat sources such as indoor home appliances may be taken into consideration. When the control device 23 determines that it is necessary to perform the assist heating, the process proceeds to step S505. On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that it is not necessary to perform the heating assist heating, the control ends. Note that assist heating is effective only when there are people in the air-conditioned space. It may also include the bedtime of the user who caused it.

(Step S505)
The control device 23 calculates the set temperature based on the outside air temperature, the room temperature, the healthy temperature slope, and the airtightness of the house so that the temperature change does not exceed the healthy temperature slope, and sends the set temperature information to the air conditioner 1. to send.

For example, when the user sets the air conditioner 1 to stop before going to bed, if the outside temperature is 0° C. and the room temperature is 23° C., the healthy temperature slope is 3° C./h based on the airtightness of the house. , that is, when it is determined that there is a temperature change exceeding 3°C per hour, assist heating is performed. As a result, it is possible to avoid abrupt temperature changes during sleep, and for users who are worried about sudden temperature changes and are constantly operating the air conditioner 1 while sleeping, the operating time of the air conditioner 1 can be reduced. can save power.

As described above, the air conditioning system according to Embodiment 5 includes the outside temperature sensor 502 that detects the outside temperature, and when the setting means sets the air conditioner 1 to stop while the air conditioner 1 is in an operating state, , the control device 23 determines whether or not it is necessary to reduce the burden on the human body based on the outside air temperature, the temperature of the air-conditioned space, and the airtightness of the house, thereby reducing the burden on the human body. When it is determined that it is necessary to stop the operation, the set temperature is calculated based on the outside air temperature, the temperature of the air-conditioned space, and the airtightness of the house, and the set temperature is transmitted to the air conditioner 1 to prevent the air conditioner from affecting the human body. When it is determined that the stop with reduced load is unnecessary, the stop information is transmitted to the air conditioner 1 .
