Temperature control device for air conditioner
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a temperature control device for an air conditioner, and more particularly, to a temperature control device for an air conditioner having a temperature transmitter for measuring a temperature of an external location remote from the air conditioner.
Background
The existing air conditioner is only provided with a temperature sensor at the return air inlet, and the measured temperature value is directly displayed on a control panel on the front surface of the air conditioner and is used as the reference for the temperature control of the air conditioner.
Since the temperature is easily affected by physical factors, the air conditioner has the characteristic that cold air sinks and hot air floats upwards. Furthermore, the air conditioner is generally installed at a higher position in a room, the air outlet is disposed at the lower end of the air conditioner face frame, and the air return inlet is disposed at the upper end of the air conditioner face frame, so that the air return inlet of the air conditioner is very close to the ceiling. The temperature of the air return inlet at the higher position of the existing air conditioner is measured as a reference for temperature control, and the difference between the temperature of the air return inlet and the temperature of the lower position of the air return inlet is obvious, so that the situation of poor temperature control is caused. For example, when the air conditioner is used as a cooling machine, the cool air blown out by the air conditioner sinks downward, so that the air return opening of the air conditioner sucks warmer air, and the actual position of a user is lower than the level of the air return opening of the air conditioner, so that the temperature of the user is lower than that of the air return opening, and the phenomenon of supercooling is caused. When the air conditioner is used as a heater, the hot air blown out by the air conditioner floats upwards, and the cooler air sinks downwards, so that the air return opening of the air conditioner sucks the warmer air, and the temperature of a user is actually lower than that of the air return opening, thereby causing the phenomenon of no warming. Therefore, the temperature of the return air inlet of the air conditioner is used as the reference for controlling the temperature of the air conditioner, which causes the situation of poor temperature control and causes the user to feel uncomfortable phenomena such as overcooling or no warming.

The invention relates to a temperature control device of an air conditioner, which mainly comprises an air conditioner and at least one temperature transmitter. The temperature transmitter is arranged at a remote external position far away from the air conditioner and is provided with a temperature detector for measuring a remote temperature value T of the corresponding remote external position n And a remote temperature value T is transmitted via a temperature transmitter n And (6) transmitting the mixture out.

Wherein, the temperature setter sets a target temperature value T; the temperature sensor is arranged at the return air inlet of the air conditioner and measures the return air temperature value T 0 (ii) a The microprocessor is electrically connected to the temperature setter, the temperature sensor and the compressor respectively. And a microprocessorReceiving the remote temperature value T transmitted by the temperature transmitter n And the return air temperature value T measured by the temperature sensor 0 And then, the calculation process is performed according to the following formula to obtain a reference temperature value Tc.

Wherein f is
n Which refers to the weighting coefficient, n =1,2,3, \8230. The microprocessor compares the reference temperature value Tc with the target temperature value T and then outputs a corresponding control signal to control the operation of the compressor.
Therefore, the invention can transmit the actual temperature of the user to the microprocessor of the air conditioner by the temperature transmitter which is arranged outside the air conditioner, the microprocessor compares the actual temperature with the target temperature value after calculation and outputs a control signal to control the operation of the compressor of the air conditioner, the temperature environment provided by the air conditioner can be in accordance with the actual target temperature value of the user, and the phenomenon of uncomfortable feeling of the user such as overcooling or no warming can not occur.
The microprocessor has a weighting factor f n May be set to be the same or different. If the temperatures of each temperature transmitter and the return air inlet of the air conditioner are all the same, the weighting coefficients are all the same as 1. If the actual location of the user is more important, the weighting coefficient of the temperature transmitter at the location can be increased so as to make the reference temperature value Tc obtained by the microprocessor meet the actual requirement of the user.
In addition, the air conditioner of the present invention may further comprise a temperature display for displaying the reference temperature value Tc obtained by the microprocessor or displaying the set temperature valueOr a remote temperature value T measured by a temperature detector of each temperature transmitter is selectively displayed n For the user to refer to.
Furthermore, the compressor of the present invention can be a fixed frequency compressor or an inverter compressor, wherein the fixed frequency compressor directly controls the on/off of the compressor, and the inverter compressor directly controls the operation speed of the compressor.

Thus, the temperature transmitter can wirelessly transmit the remote temperature value T measured by the temperature transmitter n The wireless transmission mode can be infrared, radio frequency, bluetooth, or other equivalent wireless transmission technologies.
In addition, the present inventionThe temperature transmitter may also have a connection to a microprocessor of the air conditioner. Therefore, the temperature transmitter can transmit the measured remote temperature T by wire n To the microprocessor of the air conditioner.

Detailed Description
Referring to fig. 1, a schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein the present invention is applied to a common living room, and comprises a separate air conditioner 20 and two temperature transmitters 10. As shown in fig. 1, each temperature transmitter 10 is optionally located at a remote external location remote from the outside of the air conditioner 20.
Referring also to fig. 2, a system architecture diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown, in which each temperature transmitter 10 has a temperature detector 11 and a bluetooth wireless transmitter 12. The temperature detector 11 is used to measure the remote temperature T of the remote external position where it is installed n And a remote temperature value T is obtained by the Bluetooth wireless transmitter 12 n And then is transmitted out.
As shown in FIG. 2, the air conditioner 20 has a temperature setter 21, a temperature sensor 22, a microprocessor 23, a temperature display device for displaying a reference temperature Tc (reference temperature)The definition of the value Tc will be described later), a compressor 25, a wireless receiver 26, and an air return 27. Wherein, the temperature setter 21 provides a target temperature value T for a user to set; the temperature sensor 22 is disposed at the return air inlet 27 of the air conditioner 20 and measures the return air temperature T 0 (ii) a The microprocessor 23 is electrically connected to the temperature setter 21,A temperature sensor 22, a wireless receiver 26, and an inverter compressor 25.
The microprocessor 23 receives the remote temperature value T wirelessly transmitted from each temperature transmitter 10 by the wireless receiver 26 of the air conditioner 20 n And a return air temperature value T measured by the temperature sensor 22 0 And then, the calculation process is performed according to the following formula to obtain a reference temperature value Tc,
wherein f is
n Which refers to the weighting coefficient, n =1,2,3, \8230.

n And thus the reference temperature value
If the actual location of the user is important, the remote temperature T can be increased
1 Of weighting coefficients, e.g. T
1 Has a weight coefficient of 2, T
2 Is still 1, then
The microprocessor 23 compares the reference temperature value Tc with the target temperature value T, and then outputs a corresponding control signal to control the operation of the inverter compressor 25.
Furthermore, in order to match the actual operation condition of the inverter compressor 25, the target temperature value T of the temperature control device of the air conditioner of the present invention is a temperature value within an allowable error range. For example, if the target temperature value T is set to 25 ℃ and the error value is set to 0.5 (of course, 0.4, or other numbers), it means that 25 ± 0.5 ℃ all match the range of the target temperature value T. The corresponding control signal outputted by the microprocessor 23 of the air conditioner 20 is to compare the difference between the reference temperature value Tc and the target temperature value T, and if the reference temperature value Tc is greater than the upper limit of the target temperature value T, i.e. greater than 25.5 ℃, it indicates that the user still feels too hot, and the operation rate of the inverter compressor 25 needs to be increased to lower the room temperature. Conversely, if the reference temperature value Tc is less than the lower limit of the target temperature value T, i.e., less than 24.5 ℃, it indicates that the user feels too cold, and the operation rate of the inverter compressor 25 is decreased to raise the room temperature. If the reference temperature Tc is just between the upper and lower limits of the target temperature T, i.e. between 24.5-25.5 ℃, it means that the user feels that the room temperature is just right, and the operation speed of the inverter compressor 25 should be maintained to maintain the room temperature. Therefore, the present invention uses the reference temperature value Tc as the reference for temperature control of the air conditioner 20, rather than using the temperature of the return air inlet as the reference for temperature control in the conventional air conditioner, so that the temperature environment provided by the air conditioner 20 can meet the target temperature required by the user, and the user does not feel uncomfortable with too cold or not warm.
Referring to fig. 3, it is a schematic diagram of another preferred embodiment of the present invention, in which two temperature transmitters 10 are connected to a connection line 1 and a microprocessor 2 of an air conditioner 20 through a connection line 13 respectively. Therefore, the microprocessor 23 can receive the remote temperature value T transmitted by each temperature transmitter 10 by wire n The above-described function of controlling the operation rate of the inverter compressor so that the temperature environment provided by the air conditioner 20 matches the actual target temperature value of the user can be achieved.
The above-mentioned embodiments are merely exemplary for convenience of description, and the scope of the claims of the present invention shall be defined by the claims rather than the examples.
