Detailed description of the invention
Below, with reference to accompanying drawing, embodiments of the present invention are described.
(embodiment 1)
Fig. 1 roughly represents the air conditioner of an embodiment of the invention.
As shown in Figure 1, the air conditioner 10 of present embodiment has the remote controller 30 of the operating portion as the operating condition for user's setting air conditioner 10.Air conditioner 10 and remote controller 30 can carry out two-way communication.
Such as, signal (such as, for the signal making running start or to stop, for the signal of change setting temperature, for changing the signal etc. of the operation mode such as cooling, heating) for the operating condition of setting air conditioner 10 is exported to air conditioner 10 by from remote controller 30.On the other hand, such as, the information of the current operating condition (such as, design temperature, wind direction, air quantity etc.) of air conditioner 10 is exported to remote controller 30 by from air conditioner 10.
In addition, the air conditioner 10 of present embodiment is configured to user and can air conditioner 10 is made with less power consumption to operate.That is, air conditioner 10 couples of users can carry out energy-saving operation and support (support).
Specifically, air conditioner 10 is configured to, and first when the beginning operated or in running, user can determine the electricity charge upper limit of its running to stopping.
In addition, the power consumption (power consumption) that air conditioner 10 is configured to consume based on air conditioner 10 after user determines the electricity charge upper limit calculates the spendable remaining electricity charge, and the time can carrying out operating with the remaining electricity charge calculated (can the duration of runs) is prompted to user.
Therefore air conditioner 10 and the structure of remote controller 30 are as shown in Figure 2.Air conditioner 10 comprises: for carrying out the communication unit 12 of two-way communication with remote controller 30; Detect the power consumption test section 14 of the power consumption of air conditioner 10; Calculate the surplus calculating part 16 of the remaining electricity charge; Calculating can the duration of runs can the duration of runs calculating part 18; With storage part 20.On the other hand, remote controller 30 comprises: for carrying out the communication unit 32 of two-way communication with air conditioner 10; For inputting the input part 34 of the electricity charge upper limit that user expects; With the display part 36 for user can be prompted to the duration of runs.
The input part 34 being inputted the remote controller 30 of the electricity charge upper limit by user such as shown in Figure 1, has the load button 40 of the main body 38 being arranged at remote controller 30.In addition, display part 36 such as has the display screen 42 in the front of the main body 38 being arranged at remote controller 30.
When the electricity charge upper limit of expectation is input to remote controller 30 by user, such as shown in Figure 3, electricity charge upper limit 42a is presented on the display screen 42 of the display part 36 of remote controller 30.In figure 3, such as show " 100 yen " at display screen 42 as electricity charge upper limit 42a.As button up and down 40a, 40b of user operation load button 40, on display screen 42, the electricity charge upper limit 42a of display increases and decreases.When under the state that the electricity charge upper limit 42a expected is shown in display screen 42, user presses the decision button 40c of load button 40, the electricity charge upper limit 42a being shown in display screen 42 is imported into the input part 34 of remote controller 30.In addition, the electricity charge upper limit 42a being shown in display screen 42 is the electricity charge roughly that running once consumes.
The signal corresponding with the electricity charge upper limit that the user being input to input part 34 expects is sent to air conditioner 10 via communication unit 32 by remote controller 30.
When the communication unit 12 of air conditioner 10 receives the signal corresponding with the electricity charge upper limit from remote controller 30, the power consumption test section 14 of air conditioner 10 starts the detection of power consumption.That is, power consumption test section 14 starts the detection that user determines the power consumption of the air conditioner 10 after the electricity charge upper limit.
When power consumption test section 14 starts the detection of power consumption, the surplus calculating part 16 of air conditioner 10, based on the power consumption detected by power consumption test section 14, calculates the spendable remaining electricity charge.
Specifically, the surplus calculating part 16 of air conditioner 10, based on the power consumption detected by power consumption test section 14, calculates air conditioner 10 from the electricity charge used after remote controller 30 receives the signal corresponding with the electricity charge upper limit.Such as, the information of the electricity charge of unit electric power is remained on storage part 20 by air conditioner 10, calculates the electricity charge corresponding with power consumption based on this information.
In addition, the electricity charge upper limit that surplus calculating part 16 is expected from user deducts the electricity charge corresponding with power consumption, calculates the spendable remaining electricity charge thus.
Air conditioner 10 can the duration of runs calculating part 18, calculate use the spendable remaining electricity charge calculated by surplus calculating part 16 that air conditioner 10 can be made to operate can the duration of runs.
Specifically, can the duration of runs calculating part 18, as shown in Figure 4, calculating by each moment T (n) (n is integer) of repeating every certain period (such as 1 hour) can the duration of runs.
Being set forth in that moment T (n) calculates can the situation of the duration of runs be that example is described.In order to easy explanation, if during between moment T (n) and moment T (n-1) before thereof P (n), namely just terminate after during the electricity charge of P (n) be C (n), if the electricity charge of the unit interval of P (n) are Cs (n) during this period.In addition, if the spendable remaining electricity charge in moment T (n) are Cr (n).
Electricity charge C (n) of period P (n), can deduct the remaining electricity charge Cr (n-1) that moment T (n-1) calculates remaining electricity charge Cr (n) the coming calculated in moment T (n) by surplus calculating part 16 and calculate.In addition, electricity charge Cs (n) of the unit interval of period P (n), can by calculating the time of electricity charge C (n) of period P (n) divided by period P (n).
Can the duration of runs calculating part 18 in moment T (n), by electricity charge Cs (n) smoothing of the unit interval by P (n) during after just terminating and the smooth value Cs (n) ' of electricity charge Cs (n) of the unit interval calculated divided by spendable remaining electricity charge Cr (n), calculating can the t duration of runs (n).
Mathematical expression 1 is the mathematical expression of the smooth value Cs (n) ' of electricity charge Cs (n) of unit interval for computing interval P (n).
Cs (n) '=α × Cs (n)+β × Cs (n-1) ' ... (mathematical expression 1)
α and β in mathematical expression 1 is weight coefficient (the 1st and the 2nd weight coefficient) separately, and for add up to be 1 numeral.Such as, α, β are 0.5 separately.
As shown in mathematical expression 1, the smooth value Cs (n) ' of electricity charge Cs (n) of the unit interval of period P (n), calculates as follows.First, electricity charge Cs (n) of the unit interval of period P (n) and weight coefficient α are added up to calculate the 1st aggregate-value (Section 1 on the right).Then, the smooth value Cs (n-1) ' of the electricity charge Cs (n-1) of the unit interval of previous period P (n-1) and weight coefficient β is added up to calculate the 2nd aggregate-value (Section 2 on the right).And then, calculate Cs (n) ' by adding up to the 1st and the 2nd aggregate-value.
Moment T (n) can the t duration of runs (n) as shown in mathematical expression 2, by the smooth value Cs (n) ' of remaining electricity charge Cr (n) in moment T (n) divided by the electricity charge of the unit interval of P (n) during after just terminating is calculated.
T (n)=Cr (n)/Cs (n) ' ... (mathematical expression 2)
Electricity charge Cr (n) of period P (n) are corresponding with the operating condition of the air conditioner 10 of period P (n).That is, corresponding with the operating condition of the air conditioner 10 of period P (n).Therefore, moment T (n) can consider that in the recent period operating condition soon calculates the t duration of runs (n).In addition, the operating condition of the air conditioner 10 during also considering than past period P (n) calculates can the t duration of runs (n).Therefore, operated by such as user operation remote controller 30, even if the operating condition of air conditioner 10 changes (such as increasing and decreasing design temperature by user), also can calculate accurately can the t duration of runs (n).
In addition, each electricity charge C (s) of period P (n), electricity charge Cs (n) of unit interval and smooth value Cs (n) ' thereof, be stored in the storage part 20 of air conditioner 10.
When can the duration of runs calculating part 18 calculate can the duration of runs time, air conditioner 10 via communication unit 12 by with can the duration of runs corresponding signal be sent to remote controller 30.
Remote controller 30 via communication unit 32 receive with can signal corresponding to the duration of runs time, as shown in Figure 5, on the display screen 42 of display part 36 display can the duration of runs 42b.In Figure 5, as can the duration of runs 42b display " about 8 hours ".Thus, user can know use the self-determining electricity charge upper limit can carry out the air conditioner 10 operated can the duration of runs.
In the running of air conditioner 10, on the display screen 42 of the display part 36 of remote controller 30 can the duration of runs 42b be updated.That is, air conditioner 10 can the duration of runs calculating part 18 calculate at every turn new can the duration of runs (each moment T (n)) time, on the display screen 42 of remote controller 30 can the duration of runs 42b be updated.Thus, user can know that the high-precision of current executory air conditioner 10 can the duration of runs.
In addition, also can only when user asks, on the display screen 42 of the display part 36 of remote controller 30 display can the duration of runs 42b.
In this case, such as air conditioner 10 can the duration of runs calculating part 18 calculate can the duration of runs time, what this calculated can be stored in storage part 20 duration of runs.User to remote controller 30 such as operate load button 40 request provide can the duration of runs time, remote controller 30 request signal of the duration of runs can be sent to air conditioner 10 by being used for asking providing.When air conditioner 10 receives request signal, by be stored in storage part 20 can the duration of runs corresponding response signal be sent to remote controller 30.Then, remote controller 30 based on the response signal obtained from air conditioner 10, can the duration of runs 42b be presented on display screen 42.Thus, with always can the duration of runs 42b be presented at compared with the situation on display screen 42, the power consumption of remote controller 30 can be suppressed.Such as, when remote controller 30 is driven by releasably built-in battery (not shown), the consumption of this battery can be suppressed.
Mention the situation relevant to the power consumption of remote controller 30, calculate the remaining electricity charge surplus calculating part 16 and calculate air conditioner 10 can the duration of runs can the duration of runs calculating part 18 also can be arranged at remote controller 30, but as shown in Figure 2, be preferably disposed on air conditioner 10.Thus, remote controller 30 is in order to calculate the remaining electricity charge, can the situation of the duration of runs and power consumption disappear.Consequently, the power consumption of remote controller 30 can be suppressed.
In addition, when can the duration of runs calculating part 18 calculate can be zero the duration of runs time, it can be zero the duration of runs that remote controller 30 can show on the display screen 42 of display part 36.Thus, the electricity charge of air conditioner 10 that user can know in running have arrived the electricity charge upper limit determined by user.
Also can substitute can be the duration of runs on zero display screen 42 being presented at the display part 36 of remote controller 30 or on this basis when air conditioner 10 by can the duration of runs calculating part 18 calculate can be zero the duration of runs time, shut down.Thereby, it is possible to suppress the electricity charge of air conditioner 10 to exceed the electricity charge upper limit determined by user.And, when can the duration of runs calculating part 18 calculate can be zero the duration of runs time, by cancelling the electricity charge upper limit in the display of display part 36, also can notify that the electricity charge reach the upper limit to user.Namely, with when can the duration of runs calculating part 18 calculate can be zero the duration of runs time, perform that display part 36 display can be the action of zero duration of runs, the mode of at least one of cancelling the action that the electricity charge upper limits stops in the action of the display of display part 36 or the running of air conditioner 10 forms air conditioner 10, can notify that user reaches the electricity charge upper limit thus.
Related to this, also can with when can the duration of runs calculating part 18 calculate can be zero the duration of runs time, the mode whether user can select the running of air conditioner 10 to stop forms air conditioner 10.Such as by the load button 40 of user operation remote controller 30, as the action of the air conditioner 10 that can be calculated as the duration of runs after zero, the running of air conditioner 10 is selected whether to stop by user.Thus, according to the hobby of user, can determine can calculating part 18 calculates the duration of runs can be the duration of runs action of air conditioner 10 after zero.
In addition, when when can the duration of runs calculating part 18 calculate can be zero the duration of runs time running of air conditioner 10 is stopped, user can be notified before making running stop.
Such as, when can the duration of runs calculating part 18 such as, as when can calculate the 1st stipulated time (be different from zero, 45 minutes) duration of runs, using 2nd stipulated time (such as 30 minute) the 42c time showing as shown in Figure 6 as to air conditioner 10 shut down shorter than the 1st stipulated time on the display screen 42 of the display part 36 of remote controller 30.Afterwards, when have passed through for the 2nd stipulated time from the moment showing for the 2nd stipulated time, air conditioner 10 shuts down.Thus, user, before the running of air conditioner 10 stops, can knowing the time to air conditioner 10 stops.Such as, air conditioner 10 can be suppressed to stop suddenly causing user to be taken aback.
Do and a little supplement, due to by can the duration of runs, calculating part 18 calculated can contain error the duration of runs, so can increase and decrease the duration of runs.Therefore, when air conditioner 10 is configured to notify user as the time stopping to air conditioner 10 by display part 36 as former state the duration of runs, the time to air conditioner 10 stops can increasing and decreasing.Consequently, user's confusion (being confused about situation) is likely caused.So the 2nd stipulated time till near air conditioner 10 stops makes air conditioner 10 stop when have passed through for the 2nd stipulated time from notifying the moment of the 2nd stipulated time after notifying user by display part 36.In addition, be preferably configured to after the 2nd time of stipulated time as the stopping to air conditioner 10 was notified user by display part 36, remote controller 30 carries out countdown to the 2nd stipulated time.Thus, after the 2nd stipulated time was notified user, because of under the state that the change etc. of the place to place of remote controller 30 causes the communication connection cannot establishing air conditioner 10 and remote controller 30, the display of the stopping of air conditioner 10 and remote controller 30 also can be made synchronous.
According to the present embodiment, air conditioner 10 can perform energy-saving operation, and user actually can experience energy-conservation.
Specifically, as shown in Figure 5, showing at the display screen 42 of the display part 36 of remote controller 30 can the duration of runs, and thus, what user can know the operating condition of air conditioner 10, the self-determining electricity charge upper limit of user and air conditioner 10 by rule of thumb can the dependency relation of the duration of runs.
That is, user efficiently and with having experience can know which kind of operating condition of employing can carry out long time running with the less electricity charge (namely less electricity).That is, experience can be had the operating condition that energy-saving operation can realize is known.
Such as, when user operation remote controller 30 changes the operating condition of air conditioner 10, the power consumption of air conditioner 10 changes (the spendable remaining electricity charge namely calculated by surplus calculating part 16 change).Consequently, by can the duration of runs, calculating part 18 calculates can change the duration of runs.Therefore, when reducing the duration of runs, user can know user change after operating condition to energy-conservation not contribution.On the other hand, when increasing the duration of runs, can know that this operating condition has contribution to energy-conservation.
As mentioned above, user knows and contributes to energy-conservation operating condition with having experience, and by the operating condition of this user's setting air conditioner 10, air conditioner 10 can perform energy-saving operation.In addition, consequently, user can obtain the satisfaction contributing to energy-saving operation, namely actually can experience energy-conservation.
Above, describe the present invention for above-mentioned embodiment, but the present invention is not limited to above-mentioned embodiment.
Such as when above-mentioned embodiment, air conditioner is configured to when the beginning operated or in running, and user can determine the electricity charge upper limit to its running stops.But, the present invention is not limited thereto.That is, can determine that the mode of the electricity charge upper limit of the multiple running of continuous print is formed air conditioner with user.But in this case, time long between the running withholding period between multiple running separately, likely user is difficult to know the operating condition that can realize energy-saving operation with having experience.
Such as, in addition, by air conditioner 10 can calculating part 18 carries out the duration of runs computational methods of the duration of runs can be not limited to above-mentioned method, namely uses the method for mathematical expression 1 and 2.
The air conditioner of other embodiment can the duration of runs calculating part be configured to calculate by each moment repeated every certain period can the duration of runs.This can calculate with the operating condition of the air conditioner in this moment based on calculating this duration of runs in the remaining electricity charge in moment of the duration of runs.
Such as, these corresponding relation data are stored in the storage part of air conditioner by the corresponding relation of the electricity charge of unit interval when air conditioner being operated under trying to achieve to experimental or theoretical property the various operating condition of air conditioner and each operating condition in advance.
Can the duration of runs calculating part, by by the electricity charge of the remaining electricity charge divided by the unit interval corresponding with operating condition, calculating can the duration of runs.
As mentioned above, if the present invention the spendable remaining electricity charge calculated by surplus calculating part can be used to calculate can the duration of runs, its computational methods do not limit.Wherein, the computational methods of above-mentioned embodiment (namely using the method for mathematical expression 1 and 2) can calculate accurately can the duration of runs, so preferably.
And, the electricity charge of air conditioner and the power consumption that air conditioner uses unique corresponding be clear and definite.Therefore, power consumption can be used calculate with the alternative electricity charge and the mode of the duration of runs can be formed air conditioner.
In this case, be made up of the input part of the remote controller of air conditioner the mode of the unique corresponding power consumption upper limit of user's input and the electricity charge upper limit with the alternative electricity charge.That is, the electricity upper limit of expectation is input to the input part of remote controller by user.
In addition, the surplus calculating part of air conditioner, the power consumption (power consumption) that the power consumption upper limit (being imported into the power consumption upper limit of input part) expected based on user and the air conditioner in operating consume, calculates spendable remaining power consumption.That is, spendable remaining power consumption is calculated by deducting power consumption from the power consumption upper limit.
And then, air conditioner can the duration of runs calculating part, calculate use the spendable remaining power consumption that calculated by surplus calculating part to operate can the duration of runs.
Further, the invention is not restricted to as the air conditioner 10 of above-mentioned embodiment and remote controller 30 for air conditioner that the main body of the operating portion and air conditioner that operate air conditioner is formed separately.Such as can for the floor of indoor can be positioned in or can move, even be provided integrally with main body the air conditioner of operating portion, input part and display part.

In the running of air conditioner 10, on the display screen 42 of the display part 36 of remote controller 30 and the display part 56 of portable information terminal 50 can the duration of runs 42b be updated.That is, air conditioner 10 can the duration of runs calculating part 18 calculate at every turn new can the duration of runs (each moment T (n)) time, on the display screen 42 of remote controller 30 can the duration of runs 42b be updated.Thus, user can know that the high-precision of current executory air conditioner 10 can the duration of runs.
In addition, also can only when user asks, on the display screen 42 of the display part 36 of remote controller 30 and the display part 56 of portable information terminal 50 display can the duration of runs 42b.
In this case, such as air conditioner 10 can the duration of runs calculating part 18 calculate can the duration of runs time, what this calculated can be stored in storage part 20 duration of runs.User to remote controller 30 or portable information terminal 50 such as operate load button 40 request provide can the duration of runs time, remote controller 30 or portable information terminal 50 request signal of the duration of runs can be sent to air conditioner 10 by being used for asking providing.When air conditioner 10 receives request signal, by be stored in storage part 20 with can the duration of runs corresponding response signal be sent to remote controller 30 and portable information terminal 50.Then, remote controller 30 and portable information terminal 50 based on the response signal received from air conditioner 10, can the duration of runs 42b be shown in display screen 42.Thus, with always can the duration of runs 42b be presented at compared with the situation of display screen 42, the power consumption of remote controller 30 and portable information terminal 50 can be suppressed.Such as, when remote controller 30 and portable information terminal 50 are driven by dismountable built-in battery (not shown), the consumption of this battery can be suppressed.
Mention the situation relevant to the power consumption of remote controller 30 and portable information terminal 50, calculate the remaining electricity charge surplus calculating part 16 and calculate air conditioner 10 can the duration of runs can the duration of runs calculating part 18 also can be arranged at remote controller 30 and portable information terminal 50, but as shown in Figure 2, be preferably arranged on air conditioner 10.Thus, remote controller 30 and portable information terminal 50 are in order to calculate the remaining electricity charge, can the situation of the duration of runs and power consumption disappear.Consequently, the power consumption of remote controller 30 and portable information terminal 50 can be suppressed.
In addition, also can work as can the duration of runs calculating part 18 calculate when can be zero the duration of runs, the display on the display screen 42 of display part 36 and display part 56 of remote controller 30 and portable information terminal 50 can be zero the duration of runs.Thus, the electricity charge of air conditioner 10 that user can know in running have arrived the electricity charge upper limit determined by user.
Substituting can be zero display screen 42 being presented at the display part 36 of remote controller 30 and the display part 56 of portable information terminal 50 duration of runs, or in addition, air conditioner 10 calculate can the duration of runs calculating part 18 be zero can the duration of runs time, running can be made to stop.Thereby, it is possible to suppress the electricity charge of air conditioner 10 to exceed the electricity charge upper limit determined by user.And, when can the duration of runs calculating part 18 calculate can be zero the duration of runs time, by cancelling the electricity charge upper limit in the display of display part 36,56, also can notify that demand charge reaches the upper limit.Namely, with when can the duration of runs calculating part 18 calculate can be zero the duration of runs time, perform that display part 36,56 display can be the action of zero duration of runs, the mode of at least one of cancelling the action that the electricity charge upper limits stops in the action of the display of display part 36,56 or the running of air conditioner 10 forms air conditioner 10, thereby, it is possible to notify that user reaches the electricity charge upper limit.
Related to this, also can with when can the duration of runs calculating part 18 calculate can be zero the duration of runs time, the mode whether user can select the running of air conditioner 10 to stop forms air conditioner 10.Such as by the load button 40 of user operation remote controller 30, as the action of the air conditioner 10 that can be calculated as the duration of runs after zero, the running of air conditioner 10 is selected whether to stop by user.Thus, according to the hobby of user, can determine can calculating part 18 calculates the duration of runs can be the duration of runs action of air conditioner 10 after zero.In addition, in portable information terminal 50, also input operation same as described above can be carried out.
In addition, when when can the duration of runs calculating part 18 calculate can be zero the duration of runs time running of air conditioner 10 is stopped, also can notify user before making running stop.
