Description

  The present invention relates to an air conditioner.

  A conventional indoor unit of an air conditioner is mainly composed of a casing constituting an indoor unit main body, a design surface attached to the front surface of the casing, and a sensor disposed in the casing. The sensor is an infrared sensor or a CMOS camera sensor that detects the state of the air-conditioning target area (for example, the room temperature or the position of the human body), and the conventional air conditioner uses the information from this sensor to obtain the appropriate temperature in a predetermined direction. Air-conditioning control is performed without unevenness.

  For example, in the prior art disclosed in Patent Document 1 below, in order to prevent the presence of the sensor as much as possible, the presence of the sensor is increased by arranging the sensor in one of a plurality of holes formed in the design surface. Inconspicuous structure is adopted.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 64-24607 (FIG. 1 etc.)

  However, in the conventional technology represented by the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, a measure is taken to minimize the presence of the sensor. However, due to design restrictions such as flattening the appearance of the equipment, for example, some sensors are provided on the inner side (back side) of the design surface. In this case, the sensor senses the design surface. Therefore, an opening corresponding to the angle of view is required, so that not only the opening is enlarged, but also a depression from the design surface toward the sensor is emphasized, and the design is deteriorated. Therefore, such a measure is a hindrance to the need to impress a flat design. On the other hand, as a measure for reducing the opening, for example, when a sensor is provided in the vicinity of the design surface and, for example, a silicon lens is provided in the opening, the sensor is transparent only with this lens. There was a problem such as a decrease in sensor sensitivity. As described above, in a conventional air conditioner equipped with a camera sensor or the like, there is a trade-off between design and functionality, and even if design is deteriorated, priority is given to functionality or functionality is reduced. Even so, there was a problem that measures to prioritize design were necessary.

  This invention is made | formed in view of the above, Comprising: It aims at obtaining the air conditioner which does not feel the presence of a sensor, without causing a functional fall.

  In order to solve the above-described problems and achieve the object, the present invention provides an indoor unit body, a panel installed on the front surface of the indoor unit body, and disposed between the indoor unit body and the panel. And a sensor composed of a detection unit that detects the state of the air-conditioning target area through an opening formed in the panel and a holding unit that holds the detection unit, and the opening includes the holding unit. It is formed in a shape different from the contour of the outer peripheral surface, and the indoor unit main body is colored in the same color as the holding portion.

  According to the present invention, the contour of the sensor is made inconspicuous when the sensor is viewed from the side of the design surface, so that there is an effect that the presence of the sensor is not felt without causing a decrease in functionality.

  Embodiments of an air conditioner according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is an external view of an indoor unit 10 of an air conditioner according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a first diagram for explaining the relationship between the opening shown in FIG. 1 and the sensor disposed in the housing, and FIG. 3 shows the relationship between the opening and the housing shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a second diagram for explaining the relationship between the sensors arranged, and FIG. 4 is a third diagram for explaining the relationship between the opening shown in FIG. 1 and the sensors arranged in the housing. FIG.

  An indoor unit 10 shown in FIG. 1 includes a housing 12 that is an indoor unit body that constitutes the indoor unit 10, a design surface 11 that is disposed in front of the housing 12, and a center of the design surface 11. An opening 2 to be formed is provided. The casing 12 of the indoor unit 10 is provided with a non-movable sensor 1 as shown in FIG. This sensor 1 is a camera or the like that detects the state of the air-conditioning target area, and the air conditioner according to the present embodiment uses the information from the sensor 1 to send air at a suitable temperature in a predetermined direction and perform air conditioning without unevenness. Control is in progress.

  In the lower side of FIG. 2, the sensor 1 is composed of, for example, a lens 1 b and a barrel 1 a that holds the lens 1 b. In order to make the presence inconspicuous, for example, on the inner side (back side) of the design surface 11. Is provided. The housing 12 is formed with a recess 12 a that is formed in a concave shape from the front of the indoor unit 10 toward the housing 12 and in which the sensor 1 is disposed. In the upper side of FIG. 2, a region 3 surrounded by an outer peripheral portion of the barrel 1 a and an opening 2 for securing an angle of view determined by the lens 1 b is shown. In the following description, a group of components constituting sensing inside the device is referred to as a sensing device, and the sensing device according to the first embodiment drives the opening 2 and the sensor 1 if the sensor is, for example, a camera sensor. A board 14 (to be described later) on which electrical components to be mounted are mounted, and a case 15 (to be described later) that holds and incorporates the sensor 1 and the board 14 are included.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 4, when the housing 12 is colored differently from the color (for example, black) applied to the sensor 1, the housing 12 is opened from between the opening 2 and the barrel 1a. Since the color (for example, white) of the body 12 can be visually observed, the presence of the sensor 1 is felt by the user who viewed the opening 2 from the front direction of the indoor unit 10 due to the color difference between the sensor 1 and the opening 2. It will make you feel. In particular, since the opening 2 needs to have a size corresponding to the sensing field angle of the sensor 1 determined by the lens 1b, the region 3 is enlarged as the opening 2 becomes wider. In other words, the outline of the sensor 1 is emphasized, and the user is conscious of the sensor 1 and gives a sense of resistance.

  In order to prevent the outline of the sensor 1 from being noticeable or to prevent the sensor 1 from being touched, it is conceivable to provide a protective lens such as a silicon lens in the opening 2. However, with this lens alone, the sensor 1 is transparent, and the sensitivity of the sensor 1 is reduced by this lens. Further, when a protective lens such as a magic mirror is provided in the opening 2, not only the sensitivity of the sensor 1 is lowered but also the cost is increased.

  On the other hand, in the conventional air conditioner, a round opening 2 may be employed as shown in FIG. However, when the opening 2 having the same shape as the contour of the sensor 1 is provided, the contour of the sensor 1 is further emphasized, which gives a strong resistance to the user.

  Outside the sensing region (not shown) of the case 12, the case 15, or the lens 1b of the air conditioner according to the first embodiment, a color (for example, black) equivalent to the barrel 1a of the sensor 1 is applied, and The opening 2 is formed in a shape (for example, a square, a horizontally long rectangle, a horizontally long ellipse, etc.) different from the outline (round shape) of the sensor 1. Therefore, the area 3 around the sensor 1 is projected as the same color as the sensor 1 to the eyes of the user viewing the sensor 1 from the front side of the indoor unit 10, and the opening has a shape different from the shape of the sensor 1. 2 is projected. Therefore, a strong resistance is not given to the user.

  Next, the operation will be described. When the user presses each button provided on the remote controller (not shown), an infrared signal corresponding to the type of the operated button is transmitted to the indoor unit 10, and in the indoor unit 10 that has received the infrared signal, this signal The air conditioner control is performed so that the operation state according to the signal is obtained, and the indoor unit 10 uses the information from the sensor 1 to send the appropriate temperature of the wind in a predetermined direction without any unevenness. Air conditioning control is performed. Note that the sensor 1 is not limited to a camera sensor. Elements necessary for sensing such as a sensor element (not shown), a barrel 1a, a lens 1b, and an IC (Integrated Circuit: not shown) are packaged in one package. As long as it is a generic name for the module, any sensor may be used such as a camera, a microphone, a pyroelectric sensor, a thermopile sensor, an infrared sensor, a radio wave sensor such as Doppler / ultrasonic wave, and an air quality sensor such as dust / odor.

  As described above, the air conditioner according to the first embodiment includes an indoor unit body (housing 12), a panel (design surface 11) installed on the front surface of the housing 12, and the housing 12. A detection unit (lens 1b) that is disposed between the design surface 11 and detects the state of the air-conditioning target area through the opening 2 formed in the design surface 11, and a cylindrical holding that holds the lens 1b. And an opening 2 is formed in a shape different from the contour of the outer peripheral surface of the barrel 1a, and the casing 12 is given a color equivalent to that of the barrel 1a. Therefore, when the sensor 1 is viewed from the front surface of the indoor unit 10, the outline of the sensor 1 becomes inconspicuous, and the effect that the presence of the sensor 1 is not felt without causing a decrease in functionality can be obtained.

  Further, the color equivalent to that of the barrel 1a may not be applied to the entire casing 12, and the casing 12 has an area equivalent to the opening 2 projected onto the casing 12 (for example, as shown in FIG. 4A). You may make it give the color equivalent to the barrel 1a to the hollow 12a of the housing | casing 12 enclosed with the dotted line pulled out from the both sides of the opening part 2 shown on the upper side. In this way, even when the entire housing 12 cannot be made the same color as the barrel 1a, the presence of the sensor 1 is not felt by only changing the color of a partial area of the housing 12. An effect can be obtained.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
FIG. 5 is a first diagram for explaining a configuration of a sensing device for an air conditioner according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 shows an air conditioner according to the second embodiment of the present invention. It is a 2nd figure for demonstrating a structure. Hereinafter, the same parts as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted. Only different parts will be described here.

  In many home appliances, from the viewpoint of user protection (product safety) or from the viewpoint of protection of the sensor 1, measures are generally taken so that the sensor element cannot be touched directly. For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, by providing a protective lens 13 on the design surface 11, it is possible to prevent the sensor 1 from being touched via the design surface 11, but a user like an air conditioner. In a device capable of removing the panel of the design surface 11, the user can touch the sensor 1 after removing the design surface 11, and thus the protective lens 13 is also required in the housing 12 part. However, when the protective lens 13 is provided twice, the sensor sensitivity is lowered and the cost is increased.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the sensor 1 is provided on the inner side (back side) of the design surface 11 as a measure for avoiding the user directly touching the sensor 1, the sensor 1 Since the opening 2 corresponding to the angle of view to be sensed is required, the large opening 2 is formed on the design surface 11 and the design is deteriorated.

  Note that the shape of the opening 2b formed in the case 15 is not limited to a round shape, and as shown in FIG. 6E, for example, a non-sensing portion of the sensor 1 (for example, a portion of the barrel 1a) ) May be formed in a horizontally long oval shape (including a rectangle). When a human body detection camera is used as the sensor 1 in the air conditioner, an image in the vicinity of the ceiling in the room is not necessary, and it may be a wide angle in the horizontal direction. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 6 (e), even when the opening 2b having a shape covering a part of the sensor 1 is used, the function of the sensor 1 is not hindered, and the contour of the sensor 1 is Since it becomes less conspicuous, it is possible to make the design so that the sensor 1 is not even more conscious.

  As described above, the air conditioner according to the second embodiment includes the case 15 that encloses the sensor 1 and the electrical components that drive the sensor 1 as shown in FIGS. An opening 2b provided between the opening 2a and the sensor 1, and the opening 2b covers the front surface of the lens 1b; and Since the protective lens 13 disposed on the inner peripheral side of the opening 2a is provided, it is avoided that the sensor 1 is directly touched without causing a decrease in sensitivity of the sensor 1, and further, the sensor 1 senses. Since the opening 2 corresponding to the angle of view is not required, the design is not deteriorated.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6 (e), the shape of the opening 2b is formed so as to cover the non-sensing portion on the upper side of the sensor 1 and / or the non-sensing portion on the lower side of the sensor 1. It is possible to design the sensor 1 so that the function of the sensor 1 is not hindered and the sensor 1 is not conscious.

The sensor 1 becomes so expensive that the size or height (the size of the sensor 1 in the direction from the substrate 14 toward the design surface 11) is customized, and the type of sensor 1 mounted on the substrate 14 is not general-purpose. Expensive. The third embodiment uses a small and inexpensive sensor 1 as shown in FIG. 1 instead of the sensor 1 used in the second embodiment, and FIG. An example in which the sensor 1 is used in a sensing device is shown. A flexible cable 4 having a connector 5 provided at one end is connected to the sensor 1 shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C, and this sensor 1 is connected to the substrate 14 via the connector 5. Is done. However, when the cable 4 pulled out from the sensor 1 is not fixed in the internal space of the case 15, the cable 4 is damaged in the worst case, for example, by contacting the inside of the case 15 with vibration of the sensing device. there is a possibility.

In the sensing device shown in FIG. 7A, a spring (not shown) that prevents the sensor 1 from shifting to the spacer 6 side may be provided between the spacer 6 and the sensor 1. . With this configuration, the sensor 1 can be prevented from moving away from the protective lens 13. For example, the sensor 1 is shifted to the spacer 6 side due to tolerances such as the sensor 1 and the case 15, and the design surface 11 is directed to the sensor 1. It can prevent entering into the corner.

  As another example, as shown in FIG. 7B, the sensing device according to the third embodiment includes a first case 15a containing the sensor 1 and a first case 15a from the inside of the machine. The sensor 2 is clamped by the surface where the first case 15a and the second case 15b abut at a position where the second case 15b to be fixed, the first case 15a and the second case 15b face each other. And a substrate 14 on which electric components to be driven are mounted. The first case 15a includes a holding portion 15d that extends in an inner direction of the first case 15a and holds the bottom portion of the sensor 1; An insertion hole 15 c formed between the case 15 a and the holding portion 15 d and inserted through the cable 4 drawn from the sensor 1 and connected to the substrate 14, and a hole provided between the opening 2 a and the sensor 1. A certain opening 2b is formed It is, in the opening 2b, covers the front surface of the lens 1b, and, the protective lens 13 is provided which is disposed on the inner peripheral side of the opening 2a. Then, by sliding the one end of the cable 4 in from the sensor 1 side of the insertion hole 15c, the cable 4 is fixed so as to be housed in the insertion hole 15c, so that the cable 4 vibrates with the vibration of the sensing device. Even in this case, damage to the cable 4 is prevented. In addition, the sensing device shown in FIG. 7B has a spring (not shown) that prevents the sensor 1 from moving toward the holding portion 15d between the holding portion 15d that holds the bottom of the sensor 1 and the sensor 1. May be provided.

May be provided. If comprised in this way, it can prevent that the sensor 1 leaves | separates from the protective lens 13, for example, the sensor 1 changes to the holding | maintenance part 12b side by tolerances, such as the sensor 1 and the case 15, and the design surface 11 is the sensor 1's side. It is possible to prevent entering into the directivity angle.

  FIG. 8 is a second diagram for explaining the configuration of the sensing device for an air conditioner according to the third embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 7A and 7B show configuration examples using two cases (first case 15a and second data 15b). When two cases are used in this way, the inside of the case is sealed, so that the adhesion of dust to the sensor 1 can be suppressed, but the cost is increased.

  The sensing device shown in FIG. 8 is configured to suppress the adhesion of dust to the sensor 1 using one case 15 instead of two cases.

  An annular member 18 shown in FIG. 8A is an annular member that is interposed between the outer periphery of the sensor 1 and the case 15. The annular member 18 is fitted into the outer peripheral portion of the barrel 1a, and the sensor 1 is press-fitted into the case 15 with the annular member 18 mounted. By using the annular member 18, for example, dust that has entered from between the substrate 14 and the case 15 can be prevented from adhering to the lens 1 b portion. This annular member 18 can also be used for the sensor 1 of the first and second embodiments.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8B, instead of the annular member 18, the shielding member is interposed between the case 15 and the substrate 14 and shields the internal space of the case 15 and the external space of the case 15. Even if the spacer 19 is used, the same effect can be obtained. That is, by providing the spacer 19, it is possible to prevent dust from entering the inner peripheral side of the case 15 from between the substrate 14 and the case 15.

  The heat generating circuit 20 such as the driving circuit of the sensor 1 is a surface opposite to the surface on the sensor 1 side of the substrate 14 as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B in consideration of heat radiation. It is desirable to provide in. Further, the sensing device shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B includes a spacer 6 having a predetermined thickness interposed between the substrate 14 and the sensor 1, and between the spacer 6 and the sensor 1. A spring (not shown) that prevents the sensor 1 from moving toward the spacer 6 may be provided. With this configuration, the sensor 1 can be prevented from moving away from the protective lens 13. For example, the sensor 1 is shifted to the spacer 6 side due to tolerances such as the sensor 1 and the case 15, and the design surface 11 is directed to the sensor 1. It can prevent entering into the corner.

  In addition, if it supplements about the housing | casing 12 and case 15 demonstrated in Embodiment 2, 3, the color of the design surface 11 is various, such as white and a translucent color, but the case where the sensor 1 such as a camera is used. Depending on the material and color of the design surface 11, the housing 12 may flare (diffuse light) and affect the function of the sensor 1. In order to prevent such flare, for example, between the opening 2 of the design surface 11 and the housing 12 (the back side of the opening 2) or the case 15 (first case 15a) to which the protective lens 13 is attached. You may make it arrange | position the raw material (for example, a semi-transparent black member etc.) which does not permeate | transmit light between the opening part 2a and the case 15 (opening part 2a back surface).

  As described above, according to the air conditioner according to the first to third embodiments, since the protective lens 13 does not need to be doubled, the material to be used is suppressed, and thus volume reduction is achieved. It is possible to facilitate the recovery at the time of disassembly and disposal.

  In addition, the air conditioners shown in the first to third embodiments show an example of the contents of the present invention, and can be combined with other known techniques, and depart from the gist of the present invention. Of course, it is possible to change and configure such as omitting a part within the range.

  As described above, the present invention can be applied to an air conditioner, and is particularly useful as an invention that does not cause the presence of a sensor without causing a decrease in functionality.
