Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem wherein an energy-saving operation cannot be achieved when a set temperature is set high in heating and low in cooling in a memory in advance, as an operation of a compressor is controlled by comparing an indoor temperature detected by a room temperature sensor with the set temperature stored in the memory. <P>SOLUTION: As upper and lower limit values of the set temperature of a remote controller 8 are set according to seasons by using a temperature setting means 2 and a schedule setting means 3 disposed in a remote control device 1, the energy-saving operation is achieved, and the power consumption of a building as a whole is reduced. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a remote control device that sets a temperature setting range of an air conditioner.

  Conventionally, in an air conditioner having a function of switching and operating a set temperature of an air conditioner, a set input means such as a main body operation unit or a remote controller is used to set the indoor set temperature, cooling operation or heating operation and its operation mode, Setting input conditions such as the air volume mode and timer mode of the inner blower are stored in the memory, and the room temperature detected by the room temperature sensor is compared with the set temperature stored in the memory by the comparison means to control the operation ( For example, see Patent Document 1).

FIG. 4 shows a conventional installation state described in Patent Document 1. In FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, it is composed of a control unit microcomputer 101, setting input means 102, room temperature sensor 103, save operation switch 104, compressor 105, memory 106, comparison means 107, and operation condition setting means 108.

  However, in the above-described conventional configuration, the indoor temperature detected by the room temperature sensor is set by setting the save operation switch and the set temperature stored in the memory is compared to control the operation of the compressor. However, if the set temperature is set high during heating and set low during cooling, there is a problem that energy-saving operation cannot be achieved.

  The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems. When remotely controlling a system of a plurality of indoor units and outdoor units, a building manager who remotely manages the air conditioner can perform heating setting according to the season. An object of the present invention is to provide a remote control device for an air conditioner that prevents energy from being set so that the set temperature cannot be set high and the set temperature cannot be set low when the cooling is set.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the remote control device for an air conditioner of the present invention uses temperature setting means and schedule setting means provided in the remote control device, and sets the temperature setting range of the remote control to the season. It can be set accordingly.

  As a result, the building manager who performs remote control can perform energy-saving operation of heating, and the power consumption of the entire building can be eliminated.

  When the remote controller for an air conditioner of the present invention is remotely controlled by a system of a plurality of indoor units and outdoor units, a building administrator who manages the air conditioner remotely manages air conditioning from the remote controller, Since the upper and lower limits of the temperature setting range of the remote control can be set according to the season, energy-saving operation can be performed and the power consumption of the entire building can be eliminated. In addition, since the power of the device can be cut off, useless standby power can be eliminated.

A first invention is a remote control device for remotely controlling a plurality of indoor units and outdoor units, temperature setting means for setting a temperature setting range of a remote controller for an air conditioner from the remote control device, and a remote control by the temperature setting means After setting the temperature range, schedule setting means that can manage the temperature range for each season, and when the schedule setting means is input, the schedule setting time and the upper and lower limits of the temperature setting range are stored, A remote control device for an air conditioner comprising a control means for controlling a plurality of indoor units and outdoor units, and transmitting and receiving communication signals, and a communication line connecting the remote control device, the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. Therefore, the building manager who remotely manages the air conditioner can schedule the air conditioning from the remote control device, and set the upper and lower limits of the temperature setting range of the remote control according to the season. Runode, remote control device for an air conditioner characterized by the energy-saving operation of the entire building.

  According to the second invention, in particular, the remote control device according to the first invention is provided with display means for notifying that the schedule is being managed, so that the administrator can grasp the schedule setting state.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a configuration block diagram of an air conditioner according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In the air conditioner remote control device system of the figure, the temperature setting means for setting the temperature setting range of the air conditioner remote control from the remote control device, the temperature range of the remote control set by the temperature setting means, and the temperature range The schedule setting means that can manage the schedule for each season, and when the schedule setting means is input, the schedule setting time and the upper and lower limits of the temperature setting range are stored, and a plurality of indoor units and outdoor units are controlled. And a control means for transmitting and receiving communication signals, and a communication line for connecting the remote control device, the indoor unit and the outdoor unit.

  About the remote control apparatus of the air conditioner comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below.

  First, when the set temperature is set by the temperature setting means 2 mounted in the remote control device 1 and the schedule setting means 3 is input and stored in the control unit 4, the indoor unit 7a and the indoor unit 7b are controlled from the remote controller 8. The set temperature data is transmitted to the control unit 4 via the communication line 5 and is transmitted to the control unit 4 mounted in the remote control device 1, and the data exceeding the upper and lower limits of the temperature range set by the control unit 4 is received. Then, temperature data within the set temperature range is transmitted to the remote controller.

  As described above, by inputting the schedule setting means 3 installed in the remote control device 1 and setting the upper and lower limits of the temperature range according to the season, the building manager can adjust the air conditioning according to the season from the remote control device. The system can perform energy-saving operation.
