Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air conditioner controlled based on dosages of infrared ray and its operating method. <P>SOLUTION: An infrared ray detecting sensor is attached to a horizontally rotating louver of the air conditioner installed in a room for air condition. The sensor measures the dosages of infrared ray in plural spaces of the room when the louver is driven, and the results are stored for every space. The dosages of infrared ray in the room detected during operation of the air conditioner are compared with the stored dosages, and a discharge rate of the air conditioner is adjusted based on the comparison. The infrared ray dosages of the respective spaces detected by the sensor are compared with one another, and a discharge direction of the air conditioner is adjusted based on the magnitudes of the dosages. The discharge of the air conditioner is thus automatically controlled in accordance with increase or decrease in the number of persons in the room. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, the installation of floor-standing air conditioners for air conditioning is rapidly increasing in large-scale dining rooms and classrooms.
The floor-standing air conditioner is located in one space in the room and performs cooling / heating functions so that the air in the room is conditioned. However, in this case, since the floor-standing air conditioner is installed in a specific space, there is a problem that the indoor air in a large-scale space cannot be uniformly and comfortably conditioned.

For example, when an air conditioner is installed in a room to cool the room, the room temperature is measured using a thermometer attached to the air conditioner as shown in FIG. 6 (S1).
Then, the measured indoor temperature is compared with a reference temperature preset by the user (S2), and when the indoor temperature is lower than the reference temperature, the discharge amount is reduced (S3), and the indoor temperature is set to the reference temperature. If the temperature is higher than the temperature, the discharge amount is increased (S4).

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, when the air conditioner 1 is installed in the specific space a in the room, the air conditioner 1 measures only the indoor temperature of the specific space a and air-conditions it. The drive system is controlled based on the comparison result with the reference temperature set in the machine. For example, if the floor-standing air conditioner 1 is an air conditioner that performs a cooling function and the measured indoor temperature is lower than a reference temperature,
The floor-standing air conditioner stops the cooling function, and strengthens the cooling function when the measured indoor temperature is higher than the reference temperature. That is, the cooling function is controlled only based on the temperature of the specific space a, and the room temperatures of the other spaces b, c, and d cannot be recognized, so that the room air cannot be uniformly conditioned.

In addition, the room temperature also increases as the number of people in the room increases. However, since the conventional floor-standing air conditioner recognizes only the room temperature of the specific space a as described above and is controlled based on the temperature, the occupant in the b or c space is not the a space. When it increases, the temperature cannot be recognized and the indoor temperature is continuously increased, so that the user cannot feel comfort even though the air conditioner is operating.
