First, as shown in Fig. 6 (a), outer surface one side at lens polymerization body 112 arranges shutter 113, this shutter 113 is described above, form by not seeing through ultrared barrier material, thus, block the incident (with reference to Fig. 6 (c)) of infrared ray from specific direction to above-mentioned infrared ray dual sensor 111.And, for example make the shape of the end of this shutter 113 become the curved shape (with reference to Fig. 6 (a)) that comprises circle or elliptical shape, thus, scope infrared ray for above-mentioned infrared ray dual sensor 111 incidents, be that surveyed area in the interior space is set as centered by human body detection device 100, multiple regions (equidistant region) of concentric circles substantially, thus, can infer exist (with reference to Fig. 6 (b)) of human body H in the region of the multiple concentric circles centered by infrared ray sensor.And, (be infrared ray sensor 110 if the infrared ray sensor that particularly makes to possess is two l, 110 r), known according to this Fig. 6 (b), can be remote region (the surveyed area A setting to concentric circles centered by infrared ray sensor 110 in the interior space f) be set as being divided into the surveyed area A on left side, central authorities, right side fL, A fM, A fR, can detect (inferring) existence as the human body H of infrared source.
Then, if make the front of shutter 113 at lens polymerization body 112, move down from the state of above-mentioned Fig. 6 (a), for this surveyed area, except above-mentioned remote three surveyed area A fL, A fM, A fRoutside, further expand to middle distance (surveyed area A i) three surveyed area A iL, A iM, A iR, can be in each surveyed area, detect (inferring) exist (with reference to Fig. 6 (d), (e), (f)) as the human body H of infrared source.
And, if shutter 113 is further moved downwards, for this surveyed area, except above-mentioned remote six surveyed area A fL, A fM, A fR, A lM, A iM, A iRoutside, further expand to closely (surveyed area A n) three surveyed area A nL, A nM, A nR, can be respectively in 9 surveyed areas altogether, detect (inferring) existing (with reference to Fig. 6 (g), (h), (i) as the human body H of infrared source.
(human detection, air-supply control method)
Then, illustrate that the human body detection device 100 by having narrated above principle detects existence and the position thereof of (inferring) indoor human body, controls thus from the method for the air-supply of indoor set 10.
First, Fig. 7 has represented the infrared ray sensor 110 from above-mentioned a pair of (two) l, 110 rthe signal of telecommunication d of output l, d r, by these signals d l, d rwith the positive and negative threshold value comparison of being scheduled to, then in the time that having exceeded the threshold value of pre-sizing, this output is judged to be " unlatching " respectively.Then, (for example 15 seconds) within a certain period of time, for example, carry out this judgement according to certain time interval (centisecond interval), then shared ratio in whole judgement number of times of, the number of times that is judged to be " unlatching " being carried out in this certain hour (number of times/all judge number of times × 100% is judged in=" unlatching ") is exported as reactivity (RA).Reactivity (RA) calculating part 155 that this judgement forms from above-mentioned microcomputer, as reactivity RA l, RA rbe output.
Then, pass through to use the reactivity RA of above-mentioned explanation with reference to the flowchart text of Fig. 8 l, RA r, the existence of inferring the human body H as infrared source in the interior space, the example to the Position Control of this existence from the control method of the air-supply of indoor set 10.This flow chart is so-called summary (summary) flow process, about detailed content, describes with reference to following detail flowchart.
First, in this Fig. 8, first, in the time starting to control, according to above-mentioned reactivity RA l, RA r, for horizontal direction, be divided into the surveyed area A on above-mentioned left side, central authorities, right side l, A m, A r, infer exist (the inferring of horizontal direction: S801) as the human body H of infrared source.
(inferring of the human body existence in level (left and right) direction)
At this, with reference to Fig. 9, the detailed content of inferring (S801) that the human body in above-mentioned horizontal direction exists is described.That is, in the inferring of this horizontal direction, first, by the infrared ray sensor from left side 110 lreactivity RA lfor example, compare (S901) with predetermined threshold value (10%).As a result, if this reactivity RA lbelow predetermined threshold value, (in figure, being "No"), infers the infrared ray sensor 110 in left side lsurveyed area (, the surveyed area A in left side lwith central surveyed area A m) in there is not the human body H as infrared source, then, by the infrared ray sensor from right side 110 rreactivity RA rfor example, compare (S902) with predetermined threshold value (10%).Then, according to the result of this judgement S902, when the infrared ray sensor 110 of judging from right side rreactivity RA ralso while not exceeding predetermined threshold value, (being "No" in the drawings), judges at the indoor human body H (" human body does not exist " in figure: S903) that do not exist.For example,, as an infrared ray sensor 110 having exemplified out from left side lreactivity RA lbe 0%, from the infrared ray sensor 110 on right side rreactivity RA rit is 5% situation.
On the other hand, according to the result of above-mentioned judgement S902, when the infrared ray sensor 110 of judging from right side rreactivity RA rwhile having exceeded predetermined threshold value, (in figure, being "Yes"), infers the region A on the right side of the indoor surveyed area that is divided into three rin, exist as the human body H of infrared source (in figure " at A rin there is human body ": S904).At this, for example, as an infrared ray sensor 110 having exemplified out from left side lreactivity RA lbe 0%, from the infrared ray sensor 110 on right side rreactivity RA rit is 55% situation.
In addition, according to the result of above-mentioned judgement S901, when the infrared ray sensor 110 being judged to be from left side lreactivity RA lwhile having exceeded predetermined threshold value (being "Yes" in the drawings), and, about the infrared ray sensor 110 on right side r, judge its reactivity RA rwhether exceed predetermined threshold value (for example 10%) (S905).As a result, when the infrared ray sensor 110 of judging from right side rreactivity RA rwhile not exceeding predetermined threshold value, (in figure, being "No"), infers the only infrared ray sensor 110 in left side lthe i.e. region A in left side of surveyed area lmiddle existence as the human body H of infrared source (in figure " at A lin there is human body ": S906).At this, for example, as an infrared ray sensor 110 having exemplified out from left side lreactivity RA lbe 60%, from the infrared ray sensor 110 on right side rreactivity RA rit is 0% situation.
On the other hand, according to the result of above-mentioned judgement S905, when the infrared ray sensor 110 of judging from right side rreactivity RA ralso while having exceeded predetermined threshold value, (in figure, being "Yes"), further obtains the infrared ray sensor 110 from left side lreactivity RA lwith the infrared ray sensor 110 from right side rreactivity RA rpoor (RA l-RA r), judge that this difference is whether for example, more than predetermined value (15%) (S907).As a result, if the poor (RA of this reactivity l-RA r) below predetermined value (being "No" in figure), judge the infrared ray sensor 110 on right side rthe infrared ray sensor 110 in left side lboth sides' surveyed area be middle section A mmiddle existence as the human body H of infrared source (in figure " at A min there is human body ": S908).On the other hand, if this reaction rate variance (RA l-RA r) more than predetermined value (being "Yes" in the drawings), judge the infrared ray sensor 110 in left side lsurveyed area be left field A linfrared ray sensor 110 with right side rsurveyed area be right side area A rmiddle existence as the human body H of infrared source (in figure " at A land A rin there is human body ": S909).At this, for example, as an infrared ray sensor 110 having exemplified out from left side lreactivity RA lbe 60%, from the infrared ray sensor 110 on right side rreactivity RA rit is 15% situation.
At this, again return to above-mentioned Fig. 8, according to the result of inferring (S81) of above-mentioned horizontal direction, the angle (position) of controlling longitudinal shutter via wind direction board control part 160 (S82), more particularly, in the time that the human body H about as infrared source is judged to be " not having human body " (S903), for example, end the running of air conditioner.In addition, when inferring out at the region on right side A rmiddle existence, during as the human body H of infrared source (S904), is set the angle (position) of longitudinal shutter, makes to arrive from the air-supply of indoor set 10 the region A on indoor right side r.On the other hand, when inferring out at the region in left side A lmiddle existence, during as the human body H of infrared source (S906), is set the angle (position) of longitudinal shutter, makes to arrive from the air-supply of indoor set 10 the region A in indoor left side l.Then, when inferring out at middle section A mmiddle existence is during as the human body H of infrared source (S908), to middle section A mset the angle (position) of longitudinal shutter, when judging at left field A lwith right side area A rin while existing (S910), set and separate to the left and right longitudinal shutter, respectively region A to the left lwith right side area A rair-supply.
(inferring of activity)
Then,, after " the longitudinally Position Control of shutter " S82 of above narration, carry out " the inferring of activity " shown in Figure 10.Be somebody's turn to do " inferring of activity " according to the result of above-mentioned " the longitudinally Position Control of shutter ".
First, determine whether both sides (the region A on left side and the right side of the interior space land region A r) the middle human body H (S1001) existing as infrared source.As a result, as both sides (the region A judging on left side and right side land region A r) in while there is human body H (in figure for "Yes"), obtain the infrared ray sensor 110 from left side lreactivity RA lwith the infrared ray sensor 110 from right side rreactivity RA rmean value (=(RA l+ RA r)/2), judge whether the mean value that obtains exceedes predetermined threshold value th (for example 50%) (S1002).Then, result, in the time being judged as mean value and exceeding threshold value th (in figure for "Yes"), infers at region A land region A rthe activity of the human body of middle existence be " greatly " (S1003).On the other hand, in the time judging that mean value does not exceed predetermined threshold value th (being "No" in figure), judge activity as " in " degree (S1004).
Then, when judging at region A in above-mentioned judgement S1001 land region A rin while there is not human body H (in figure for "No"), determine whether that in a region be region A lor region A rin there is human body (S1005).As a result, when judging at region A lor region A rmiddle existence is during as the human body H (being "Yes" in figure) of infrared source, the infrared ray sensor 110 from left side lreactivity RA lor from the infrared ray sensor 110 on right side rreactivity RA rfor example, compare (S1006) with predetermined threshold value th (40%).As a result, judging this reactivity RA lor RA rwhile having exceeded predetermined threshold value th (in the drawings for "Yes"), infer activity for " in " degree (S1004).On the other hand, judging reactivity RA lor RA rwhile not exceeding predetermined threshold value (in the drawings for "No"), infer activity for " little " (S1007).
And, when in above-mentioned judgement S1005, judge at reactivity RA lor RA rin while there is not human body (in the drawings for "No"), further judge whether in remaining region to be middle section A min there is human body (S1008).As a result, when judging at central region A min while there is human body (in the drawings for "Yes"), obtain reactivity RA lwith the infrared ray sensor 110 from right side rreactivity RA rmean value (=(RA l+ RA r)/2), the mean value obtaining and predetermined threshold value th (for example 40%) are compared to (S1009).Then, result, in the time being judged as the mean value obtaining and exceeding predetermined threshold value th (in figure for "Yes"), infer this activity for " in " degree (S1004).On the other hand, in the time not exceeding threshold value th (being "No" in figure), judge that activity as " little " (S1007).And, when being middle section A at remaining area min while there is not human body (in the drawings for "No") yet, establish activity for " nothing " (S1010).
At this, again return to Fig. 8, according to by the result that (S83) obtains of inferring of above-mentioned activity, for example, control the speed (wind speed), temperature (wind-warm syndrome) of the wind from indoor set to indoor conveying (S84).More particularly, in the time of the activity " greatly " promoting, increase the speed of the wind of carrying from indoor set 10 by wind direction board control part 160, revise the design temperature in wind-warm syndrome control part 180 downwards.And, at the activity of inferring while being middle, consider the situation while being large lower than activity, the amplitude of the increase of wind speed setting and the downward revision of design temperature.
Then, as shown in Figure 8, carry out far and near direction, what the human body H as infrared source on the depth direction of the interior space existed when indoor set 10 1 sides are watched infers action (Fig. 8: S85).In this " inferring of the human body existence of far and near direction ", as mentioned above, according to the position (angle) of the above-mentioned shutter 113 of the former configuration at lens polymerization body 112, about being divided into remote surveyed area (A f), middle apart from surveyed area (A i), this trizonal region (A of surveyed area closely n), infer the existence as the human body H of infrared source.
(inferring of the human body existence in far and near (degree of depth) direction)
In Figure 11, represent the detailed content of this " inferring of the human body existence in far and near direction ".That is, first, about remote surveyed area (A f), the surveyed area (A of middle distance i), in-plant region (A n) whole surveyed area (A f+ A i+ A n), judge the infrared ray sensor 110 from left side l, reactivity RA lwith the infrared ray sensor 110 from right side rreactivity RA rin at least one party, i.e. reactivity RA land/or RA rwhether exceed predetermined threshold value th (for example 10%) (S1101).As a result, at reactivity RA land/or RA rwhile all not exceeding predetermined threshold value th (being "No" in the drawings), be made as the human body H not existing as infrared source indoor, again return to above-mentioned steps S1101, repeat above-mentioned judgement.
In addition, as mentioned above, about whole surveyed area (A f+ A i+ A n), in the time of the existing of human body H, the infrared ray sensor 110 of above-mentioned pair of right and left l, 110 ras shown in above-mentioned Fig. 6 (g), this shutter 113 moves to lower position, does not carry out blocking of incident infrared, becomes the state that makes whole infrared rays incide infrared ray dual sensor 111 via lens polymerization body 112.
Then, according to the result of above-mentioned judgement S1101, at reactivity RA land/or RA rwhile having exceeded predetermined threshold value th (being "Yes" in the drawings), be made as the human body H as infrared source in indoor existence, then, at remote surveyed area (A f) in, similarly judge reactivity RA with above-mentioned land/or RA rwhether exceed predetermined threshold value th (for example 10%) (S1102).Now a pair of infrared ray sensor 110 l, 110 ras shown in above-mentioned Fig. 6 (a), this shutter 113 moves to uppermost position, blocks the surveyed area (A from middle distance i) and in-plant surveyed area (A n) infrared ray, become thus and only make from remote surveyed area (A f) in the infrared ray of human body H that exists incide the state of infrared ray dual sensor 111.
According to the result of above-mentioned judgement S1102, at remote surveyed area (A f) in, at reactivity RA land/or RA rwhile having exceeded predetermined threshold value th (being "Yes" in the drawings), infer at remote surveyed area (A f) the middle human body H (S1103) existing as infrared source.On the other hand, when in above-mentioned judgement S1102, reactivity RA land/or RA rwhile not exceeding predetermined threshold value th (being "No" in the drawings), infer and in this remote surveyed area, do not have human body H, and, about the surveyed area (A of remote surveyed area and middle distance f+ A i), similarly judge reactivity RA with above-mentioned land/or RA rwhether exceed predetermined threshold value th (for example 10%) (S1104).
In the time of this judgement S1104, a pair of infrared ray sensor 110 l, 110 ras shown in above-mentioned Fig. 6 (d), this shutter 113 moves to centre position, blocks from in-plant surveyed area (A n) infrared ray, become thus and only make from the surveyed area of middle distance and surveyed area (A at a distance i+ A f) in the infrared ray of human body H that exists incide the state in infrared ray dual sensor 111.
As a result, at middle distance and in-plant surveyed area (A i+ A n) in, at reactivity RA land/or RA rwhile exceeding predetermined threshold value th (being "Yes" in figure), the surveyed area (A inferring in middle distance l) the middle human body H (S1105) existing as infrared source.And, at reactivity RA land/or RA rwhile not exceeding predetermined threshold value (being "No" in the drawings), but because infer in above-mentioned judgement S1101 and have human body H, so infer at remaining in-plant surveyed area (A n) the middle human body H (S1106) existing as infrared source.
Then, again return to above-mentioned Fig. 8, the result of inferring (S85) existing according to the human body in above-mentioned far and near direction, via wind direction board control part 160, controls the angle (position) of horizontal shutter (S86).More particularly, in above-mentioned, inferring at remote surveyed area (A f) in while existing as the human body H (above-mentioned Figure 11: S1103) of infrared source, set upward the angle (position) of horizontal shutter, so that air-supply arrives an indoor distant place.On the other hand, inferring at in-plant surveyed area (A n) in while there is human body H (above-mentioned Figure 11: S1105), contrary to the above, set the angle (position) of horizontal shutter downwards, to only blow to the below of indoor set 10.Surveyed area (the A inferring in middle distance i) in while there is human body (above-mentioned Figure 11: S1106), set the angle (position) of horizontal shutter to the angle (position) in the middle of above-mentioned cardinal principle.
As mentioned above, according to embodiments of the invention 1, provide a kind of air conditioner, it arranges at least two infrared ray sensors 110 l, 110 r, make a part for its surveyed area overlapped, then the movably shutter 113 that surveyed area is set as to concentric circles (circular arc) shape is set before each infrared ray sensor, thus by these two infrared ray sensors 110 l, 110 r, be divided into three region A by indoor in the horizontal direction l, A rand A m, and in far and near (degree of depth) direction, for example, be separated into remote A f, middle distance A i, A closely n, can more correctly infer the human body H as infrared source, can control more rightly thus the wind direction from air conditioner., can be with the wind of more appropriate wind direction and the more appropriate temperature of more appropriate wind speed impression on its position indoor people.
(embodiment 2)
Figure 12 (a)~(d) represent the air conditioner of the second embodiment of the present invention (embodiment 2), particularly represents front elevation and the side view of its infrared ray sensor 110.Particularly in this embodiment 2, known with reference to the accompanying drawings, infrared ray sensor 110 possesses the hemispheric shutter (incident direction restriction unit) 113 ' that has formed peristome 130 in a surperficial part.Then, in the inner side of this shutter 113 ', be provided with the lens polymerization body 112 and the infrared ray dual sensor 111 that form infrared ray sensor, and by the shutter drive motor 114 that limits unit drives unit as incident direction, this shutter 113 ' is carried out to rotating drive, same as described above.
In this embodiment 2, the peristome 130 forming in a surperficial part for above-mentioned shutter 113 ' is different from the shutter 113 of above-described embodiment 1, to be formed as slot-shaped peristome, but its shape is still same as described above, be formed as comprising the curved shape (with reference to Figure 12 (a) and (b)) of circle or elliptical shape.; thus; scope infrared ray for the incident of above-mentioned infrared ray dual sensor 111; be that surveyed area in the interior space is centered by human body detection device 100; be set as the substantially region (equidistant region) of concentric circles, can infer thus the existing of human body H in the region of the multiple concentric circles centered by infrared ray sensor (with reference to Figure 12 (c) and (d)).Although not shown at this, be adjacent to configure two above-mentioned infrared ray sensors (, infrared ray sensor 110 l, 110 r), make its surveyed area A land A ra part is overlapped, and this is identical with above-described embodiment 1.
; according to the infrared ray sensor 110 of above-described embodiment 2; as Figure 12 (c) and (d), it is that predetermined scope (is surveyed area A in the drawings that the peristome 130 via slot-shaped is detected as the region limits of the human body H of infrared source lIand A rI), can make to incide infrared ray dual sensor 111 from the infrared ray of human body H.And, by being adjacent to configure a pair of (two) this infrared ray sensor 110, make its surveyed area part overlapping, set in the horizontal direction thus multiple surveyed area (A l, A mand A r), same as described above, the position that compared with prior art can more correctly infer the indoor human body H as infrared source.
And, in Figure 13, represent the variation of the surveyed area of the infrared ray sensor 110 in above-described embodiment 2, represent that the shutter drive motor 114 by limit unit drives unit as incident direction is rotated driving (with reference to Figure 13 (a) to having the shutter 113 ' of above-mentioned slot-shaped peristome 130, (b), (g)), in the surveyed area of infrared ray sensor 110, be indoorly divided into multiple surveyed areas what be provided with air conditioner, detect successively this region memory human body H position (with reference to Figure 13 (b) and (c), Figure 13 (e) and (f), and Figure 13 (h) and (i)).Known according to these figure, according to the infrared ray sensor 110 of this embodiment 2, same as the previously described embodiments, if indoor surveyed area centered by the installation site of infrared ray sensor 110, concentric circles ground is substantially equidistant, and be divided in the horizontal direction multiple regions, compared with prior art can more correctly infer the position as the human body H of infrared source.
In the time of this embodiment 2, " human body in far and near direction exists and infers " in above-mentioned Fig. 8 (S85) carried out the processing shown in Figure 14 and replaced the processing shown in above-mentioned Figure 11.That is, first, about remote surveyed area (A f) (state of infrared ray sensor 110 now with reference to above-mentioned Figure 13 (a)~(c)), judge the infrared ray sensor 110 from left side lreactivity RA lwith the infrared ray sensor 110 from right side rreactivity RA rin at least some be reactivity RA land/or RA rwhether exceed predetermined threshold value th (for example 10%) (S1401).As a result, at reactivity RA land/or RA rsome while having exceeded predetermined threshold value th (in figure for "Yes"), infer at this remote surveyed area (A f) in there is human body (S1402).
On the other hand, in above-mentioned judgement 1401, judging while all not exceeding predetermined threshold value th (being "No" in the drawings) from the reactivity RA of certain infrared ray sensor, then about the surveyed area (A of middle distance i) (state of infrared sensor 110 now, the above-mentioned Figure 13 of reference (d~(f)), judge reactivity RA land/or RA rwhether exceed predetermined threshold value (for example 10%) (S1403).As a result, at reactivity RA land/or RA rsome while having exceeded predetermined threshold value th (in the drawings for "Yes"), infer the surveyed area (A of distance in this i) in there is human body (S1404).Then, when judging in above-mentioned judging (S1403) while all not exceeding predetermined threshold value th (being "No" in the drawings) from the reactivity RA of which infrared ray sensor, further about the surveyed area (A of following middle distance l) repeat above-mentioned action., about in-plant surveyed area (A n) (state of infrared ray sensor 110 now with reference to appeal after Figure 13 (a)~(i)), judge the infrared ray sensor 110 from left side lreactivity RA lwith the infrared ray sensor 110 from right side rreactivity RA rin at least somely whether exceed predetermined threshold value th (for example 10%) (S1405).As a result, at reactivity RA land/or RA rsome while having exceeded predetermined threshold value th (in the drawings for "Yes"), infer at this in-plant surveyed area (A n) in there is human body (S1406).On the other hand, when in the time that this judges in S1405 as "No", again return to above-mentioned judgement treatment S 1401, repeat above-mentioned determination processing, can more positively infer thus the existence of the human body in far and near direction.
According to above-mentioned " inferring of the human body existence of far and near direction " result, via wind direction board control part 160, same as described above, control the angle (position) of horizontal shutter (S86).That is, by the above embodiments 2, also can provide air conditioner, it arranges at least two infrared ray sensors 110 l, 110 r, make a part for its surveyed area overlapped, then the movably shutter 113 that surveyed area is set as to concentric circles (circular arc) shape is set before each infrared ray sensor, thus by these two infrared ray sensors 110 l, 110 r, be divided in the horizontal direction three region A indoor l, A rand A m, and be for example separated into remote A in far and near (degree of depth) direction f, middle distance A i, A closely n, can more correctly infer the existence as the human body H of infrared source, can control more rightly thus the wind direction from air conditioner., can be with the wind of more appropriate wind direction and the more appropriate temperature of more appropriate wind speed impression on its position indoor people.
In the above-mentioned embodiment describing in detail, the curved shape that the shape of for example its end of the shape of above-mentioned shutter 113 or its slot-shaped peristome is formed as for example comprising circle or elliptical shape has been described, but, the invention is not restricted to this, at least centered by this infrared ray sensor 110, surveyed area can be divided into concentric circles substantially, can be other shape.
In addition, in the above-described embodiments, only illustrated two infrared ray sensors 110 have been set l, 110 r, make the overlapped structure of a part of its surveyed area, but the invention is not restricted to this, in addition, for example as shown in Figure 15, can further increase the quantity (N) of infrared ray sensor.Now, passing through above-mentioned two infrared ray sensors 110 l, 110 r, in level (left and right) direction, cut apart the region that can detect from above-mentioned three position (A l, A mand A r) further increase, can be divided into 3+2N (in the time of Figure 14, is A l, A l-M, A m, A r-Mand A r5 regions altogether).That is, thus, the further refinement of indoor surveyed area can be made, the position as the human body H of infrared source can be inferred thus.
