In indoor unit 10, be equipped with: indoor heat exchanger 20, it is used for and will changes into cold air or warm air by the latent heat that cold-producing medium gasifies by the room air that inlet hole 12 sucks; With indoor fan 22, indoor fan 22 is used for blow air, and described air has carried out heat exchange by indoor heat exchanger 20.
Fig. 2 is according to one embodiment of present invention, is used under the sleep pattern of air-conditioning the control chart of the device of control air-flow.This device comprises input block 100, indoor temperature sensing cell 110, control module 120, driven compressor unit 130, indoor fan driver element 140, blade driving unit 150 and display unit 160.
Under sleep pattern, the angle that control module 120 comes adjusting vane 14a, 16a and 18a according to the result who compares between indoor temperature (Tr) and the control temperature (Ts), thus control is by the direction of discharge orifice 14,16 and 18 air discharged.The above-mentioned direction of air of being controlled by control module 120 is defined as follows.
At first, by the angle of adjusting vane 14a, 16a and 18a, make the user feel the direction of air-flow thereby discharged air has direct user oriented, the air that is discharged with this direction is defined as direct wind; By the angle of adjusting vane 14a, 16a and 18a, thereby discharged air has the direction that direct user oriented makes the imperceptible air-flow of user, and the air that is discharged with this direction is given a dinner for a visitor from afar between being defined as; By the angle of adjusting vane 14a, 16a and 18a, thereby having user oriented intermittently, discharged air make the user feel the direction of air-flow off and on, the air that is discharged with this direction is defined as intermittently wind.
Here, move back and forth (swing) by blade 14a, 16a and 18a in the angle that produces direct wind with between the angle of giving a dinner for a visitor from afar between producing and obtain intermittently wind.Particularly, by making blade 14a, 16a and 18a be defined as directly intermittently wind than the wind at intermittence that the angle place that gives a dinner for a visitor from afar between producing obtains the longer time of stop at the angle place that produces direct wind; Be defined as indirectly intermittently wind by the angle place that makes blade 14a, 16a and 18a between producing, give a dinner for a visitor from afar than the wind at intermittence that obtains the longer time of stop at the angle place that produces direct wind.
Produce direct wind, give a dinner for a visitor from afar, directly intermittently wind and indirectly intermittently the angle of blade 14a, the 16a of wind and 18a and directly wind, give a dinner for a visitor from afar, direct wind the and intermittently time that blows of wind is stored in the form of read-only storage (ROM) of control module 120 indirectly intermittently.
For example, from the floor air conditioner of three surface discharge air,, when front vane 18a transfers downward direction to, produce direct wind by preceding discharge orifice 18 air discharged according to the present invention; And, give a dinner for a visitor from afar between producing by preceding discharge orifice 18 air discharged when front vane 18a transfers level to or during the direction that makes progress.In addition, when left and right blade 14a, 16a transfer the convergence direction to, produce direct wind by left and right discharge orifice 14,16 air discharged; When left and right blade 14a, 16a transfer to when dispersing direction, give a dinner for a visitor from afar between producing by left and right discharge orifice 14,16 air discharged.
Therefore, as the result who compares between indoor temperature (Tr) and the control temperature (Ts), (during Tr＜Ts), control module 120 controls are by the direction of discharge orifice 14,16 and 18 air discharged, thereby give a dinner for a visitor from afar between producing when indoor temperature (Tr) is lower than control temperature (Ts); (during Ts≤Tr≤Ts+P), control module 120 controls are by the direction of discharge orifice 14,16 and 18 air discharged, thereby produce indirectly intermittently wind when indoor temperature (Tr) is not less than control temperature (Ts) and is not higher than control temperature (Ts)+P; (during Tr＞Ts+P), control module 120 controls are by the direction of discharge orifice 14,16 and 18 air discharged, thereby produce directly intermittently wind when indoor temperature (Tr) is higher than control temperature (Ts)+P.Here, control temperature (Ts) can be the temperature of being set by the user, or is programmed in the temperature pattern (temperature pattern) in the sleep pattern.
The operation of compressor 132 is controlled according to the control signal of control module 120 in driven compressor unit 130, and indoor fan driver element 140 comes the operation of control room internal fan 22 according to the control signal of control module 120.
Display unit 160 shows the mode of operation and the error pattern of air-conditioning according to the display control signal of control module 120.That display unit 160 visions show is that classification changes, the direction of blade 14a, 16a and 18a, thereby notifies the current direction of user's blade 14a, 16a and 18a.
The method of utilizing said apparatus to control air-flow under the sleep pattern of air-conditioning below will be described.
At first, its direction makes the user feel that directly the discharged air of air-flow is defined as direct wind; Its direction does not make the user feel that directly the discharged air of air-flow gives a dinner for a visitor from afar between being defined as; Its direction makes the user feel that intermittently the discharged air of air-flow is defined as intermittently wind.Particularly, directly wind blows the indirect wind of time ratio and blows long wind at intermittence of time and be defined as directly intermittently wind, and wind blows the direct wind of time ratio and blows long wind at intermittence of time and be defined as indirectly intermittently wind indirectly.
From the floor air conditioner of three surface discharge air, according to the present invention,, front vane 18a transfers to when assembling direction when transferring downward direction and left and right blade 14a and 16a to, produce direct wind by discharge orifice 14,16,18 air discharged; Transfer to when dispersing direction when front vane 18a transfers level or the direction that makes progress and left and right blade 14a, 16a to, give a dinner for a visitor from afar between producing by discharge orifice 14,16,18 air discharged.In addition, when front vane 18a swings up and down and left and right sides blade 14a and 16a when swinging, produce intermittently wind by discharge orifice 14,16 and 18 air discharged.
Fig. 3 is a flow chart, illustrate according to the present invention, under the sleep pattern of air-conditioning control air-flow method.The cooling down operation of air-conditioning below will be described.
At first, according to user's indication, operator scheme (for example: cooling, heating or sleep pattern) and the operating data (for example: sleep operation time under sleep pattern, control temperature etc.) corresponding with operator scheme are input to control module 120 by input block 100.
As result of determination, before sleep mode operation, when sleep pattern had been imported in judgement, control module 120 judged whether imported the sleep operation time (S204) according to user's indication by input block 100.Do not import sleep operation during the time when judging, control module 120 is default value (about 8 hours) with the sleep operation time set, has been scheduled to this default value (period between usually, promptly from the bedtime to the WA) (S206) in control module 120.
When judgement has been imported sleep operation during the time, control module 120 judges whether imported the control temperature (Ts) under the sleep pattern (S208) according to user's indication by input block 100.When judging the control temperature of not importing under the sleep pattern (Ts), control module 120 will be controlled temperature (Ts) and be set at default value, be scheduled to this default value (S210) in control module 120.
As mentioned above, when the sleep operation time under the sleep pattern and control temperature (Ts) are input to control module 120 or are set to default value according to user's indication, control module 120 passes through indoor temperature sensing cell 110 sensing indoor temperatures (Tr), thereby controls the direction (S212) of air under sleep pattern.
On the other hand, be not less than the control temperature when (Ts) when determining the indoor temperature (Tr) that senses, control module 120 judges whether indoor temperature (Tr) is not less than control temperature (Ts) and is not higher than control temperature (Ts)+P (P approximately is 1 ℃) herein, (S218).When determining indoor temperature (Tr) when being not less than control temperature (Ts) and not being higher than control temperature (Ts)+P, the temperature conditions of the interior space is kept the comfort conditions of the user's that go to bed skin temperature, thereby control module 120 control air discharged from discharge orifice 14,16 and 18, so that it has the direction (S220) that is used to produce wind at indirect intermittence.
On the other hand, when determining the indoor temperature (Tr) that senses when being higher than control temperature (Ts)+P, the temperature conditions rising user's of the interior space skin temperature, therefore control module 120 is controlled air discharged from discharge orifice 14,16 and 18, so that it has the direction that is used to produce wind at direct intermittence, thereby prevent skin temperature raise (S222).
As mentioned above, control module 120 is according to the result who compares between indoor temperature (Tr) and the control temperature (Ts), the direction of control air discharged from discharge orifice 14,16 and 18, give a dinner for a visitor from afar with between producing, intermittently wind or directly wind intermittently indirectly, therefore allow the user to feel air-flow and cosily keep user's skin temperature off and on.In addition, compare with the sleep pattern of traditional air-conditioning, control module 120 improves control temperature (Ts), thereby reduces power consumption.
Thereafter, control module 120 judges whether passed through the predetermined sleep operation time (S224).Also do not pass through sleep operation during the time when determining, method is back among the step S212.Thus, under sleep pattern, the indoor temperature (Tr) that control module 120 sensings change, and control the direction of air discharged from discharge orifice 14,16 and 18 is continuously given a dinner for a visitor from afar with between producing, intermittently wind and directly wind intermittently indirectly.
On the other hand, passed through sleep operation during the time when determining, control module 120 stops the operation of all loads, thereby stops the operation of air-conditioning under sleep pattern.
The revolution that below will describe the adjusting indoor fan 22 according to the present invention, under the sleep pattern of air-conditioning is with energy-conservation process.
Fig. 4 is a flow chart, illustrates according to another embodiment of the present invention, controls air-flow by the revolution of conditioning chamber internal fan so that method for saving energy under the sleep pattern of air-conditioning.Roughly the same among some elements among Fig. 4 and Fig. 3, owing to think that the detailed description to these elements is unnecessary, therefore with its omission.
In Fig. 4, according to user's indication, operator scheme (for example: cooling, heating or sleep pattern) and the operating data (for example: sleep operation time under sleep pattern, control temperature etc.) corresponding with operator scheme are input to control module 120 by input block 100.
As result of determination, before sleep mode operation, when determining when having imported sleep pattern, control module 120 judges whether imported the sleep operation time (S304) according to user's indication by input block 100.When determining the sleep operation time when not being transfused to, control module 120 is default value (S306) with sleep operation time set predetermined in the control module 120.
When judgement has been imported sleep operation during the time, control module 120 judges whether imported the control temperature (Ts) under the sleep pattern (S308) according to user's indication by input block 100.When judging the control temperature of not importing under the sleep pattern (Ts), control module 120 is set at default value (S310) with expectant control temperature (Ts) in the control module 120.
As mentioned above, when the sleep operation time under the sleep pattern and control temperature (Ts) are input to control module 120 or are set to default value according to user's indication, control module 120 passes through indoor temperature sensing cell 110 sensing indoor temperatures (Tr), thereby opens or closes compressor 132 (S312).
When determining compressor when being opened, control module 120 is set at the minimum revolution of indoor fan 22 minimum revolution (S316) of indoor fan 22 when being closed greater than compressor.That is, the minimum revolution of indoor fan 22 is set to about 300RPM.
When determining compressor when being closed, the little Q of minimum revolution (approximately 300RPM) (approximately 50RPM) of indoor fan 22 (S318) when control module 120 was set at the minimum revolution of indoor fan 22 ratio piston compressor and is opened.That is, the minimum revolution of indoor fan 22 is set to about 250RPM.
The minimum revolution of indoor fan 22 when the minimum revolution of indoor fan 22 was opened less than compressor 132 when compressor 132 was closed, thus the susceptibility of user reduced when between discharged air produces, giving a dinner for a visitor from afar to air-flow, reduce power consumption simultaneously.
