  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of the air conditioner interlocking window opening / closing device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, an outdoor unit 1 of an air conditioner 2 of an air conditioner interlocking window opening / closing device is installed outdoors, and in addition to an outside air temperature detecting means 3 for detecting an outside air temperature, a compressor for compressing a refrigerant, and circulating the refrigerant A refrigerant pipe to be decompressed, an expansion valve for decompressing the refrigerant, an outdoor heat exchanger for exchanging heat between the refrigerant and the outdoor air, and an outdoor blowing means for blowing air to the outdoor heat exchanger (all (Not shown).

  In addition, the indoor unit 4 of the air conditioner 2 is installed on the wall of the room, and in addition to the room temperature detecting means 5 for detecting the room temperature, the refrigerant pipe for circulating the refrigerant, the refrigerant and the room air. An indoor heat exchanger for exchanging heat and air blowing means (both not shown) for blowing air exchanged by the indoor heat exchanger into the room are provided. Both the indoor unit 4 and the outdoor unit 1 are connected by a refrigerant pipe 6.

  The window 7 provided in the room includes a window opening / closing means 8 whose opening degree can be freely adjusted and the window can be opened or closed automatically or electrically. The opening / closing operation of the window 7 and the driving of the air conditioner 2 are controlled by the control means 9 in the window opening / closing means 8 and the air conditioner 2.

  The operation and action of the air conditioner interlocking window opening / closing device in the present embodiment configured as described above will be described below.

  First, when a user sets a desired set temperature and gives an instruction for cooling operation to the air conditioner 2, in the air conditioner 2, the compressor mounted on the outdoor unit 1 is driven and discharged from the compressor. After the heat exchange is performed by the outdoor heat exchanger, the refrigerant is decompressed by the expansion valve and is heat-exchanged with the air by the indoor unit 4.

  The relatively low-temperature air that has undergone heat exchange is blown into the room by the blowing means. At this time, for example, when the indoor temperature is 30 ° C., the air conditioning set temperature set by the user is 28 ° C., and the outside air temperature is 35 ° C., the user can realize a comfortable indoor temperature by the cooling operation of the air conditioner 2. it can. On the other hand, when the room temperature is 30 ° C., the set temperature is 28 ° C., and the outside air temperature is 25 ° C., the control means 9 stops the cooling operation, the window opening / closing means 8 opens the window 7, and the air blowing means of the indoor unit 4 When the air blowing operation is performed, outdoor air having a temperature lower than that of the room flows into the room, and the air blowing means is operated only when the compressor is stopped, that is, the cooling operation is stopped. The temperature can be made comfortable.

  Since the power required for driving the blowing means is sufficiently smaller than the power required for driving the compressor, the window 7 is opened and the outside air is operated while the blowing means is operated as compared with the case where the operation of the compressor is continued. Is more comfortable because the overall temperature can be reduced in a shorter time than when the air blowing means is not operated while the power consumption is reduced and energy is saved as a whole. If air blowing operation is not carried out here, it is not easy to replace indoor and outdoor air with a small pressure difference, and it is difficult to introduce low-temperature outdoor air into the room. It becomes difficult to lower the room temperature efficiently.

  An example of a criterion for determining whether the control unit 9 stops the cooling operation of the air conditioner 2 and operates the window opening / closing unit 8 is that the outside air temperature is lower than the indoor temperature or the cooling set temperature. It is done. In this case, as the temperature difference between the outside air temperature and the room temperature, or the temperature difference between the outside air temperature and the cooling set temperature is large (for example, 3 ° C. or more), the room temperature can be easily lowered using the outside air. Further, the room temperature is controlled to a comfortable temperature by changing the opening degree of the window 7 from the temperature information of the outside air temperature, the room temperature, and the set temperature, or changing or stopping the rotation speed of the fan of the air blowing means. Can be easily realized.

The automatically opened window 7 automatically instructs the air conditioner 2 to stop the cooling operation or when the outside temperature is lower than the set temperature and the room temperature becomes the set temperature. It is closed with. When the window 7 is automatically opened and the outside air temperature becomes higher than the set temperature, or when the outside air temperature becomes higher than a temperature obtained by subtracting a predetermined temperature (for example, 1 ° C.) from the set temperature,
The window 7 is automatically closed, and the air conditioner 2 performs a cooling operation.

  When the window 7 is automatically opened to take outside air into the room, the window opening / closing means 8 informs the user that the window 7 is opened using sound or light before or during opening. This is, for example, for preventing the window 7 from opening while the user is not aware of it and causing an unfavorable situation for the user. Specifically, before the window is opened, a lamp or LED (not shown) provided in the window opening / closing means 8 or the control means 9 is flashed or lit, or an electronic sound is emitted for notification. The notification means (not shown) may be any one of a lamp, LED, electronic sound, etc., or a plurality of these may be combined.

  Before going to bed, the air conditioner 2 starts the cooling operation, and after the fixed time has passed, the outside air temperature drops, the cooling operation is stopped, and the window opening / closing means 8 opens the window 7. When the user is able to grasp in advance and there is a notification before the window 7 is opened because the user is sleeping, the user who is sleeping will wake up and the user will be inconvenienced. The user can also select and set notification.

  Further, the window opening / closing means 8 has functions of a notifying means and a clock, and it is also possible for the user to set automatically so as to notify in the daytime and not in the nighttime. In addition, if the window 7 is automatically opened by the window opening / closing means 8 or the user is informed in advance that the window 7 is opened by the notification means, the user can The automatic opening / closing function can be turned off, and the automatic opening / closing function can be selectively used.

  Although only the operation for opening the window 7 has been described above, the same applies to the operation for closing the window 7. When closing the window 7, the user is notified that a part of the body such as a hand or a finger is accidentally injured by the window 7, or an important object is not injured. The presence / absence of the notification can be selectively set, and the use of the automatic opening / closing function of the window 7 can be selectively set.

  It is also effective to provide a rain sensor (not shown) in order to prevent rain when it is raining outdoors when the window 7 is automatically opened and the rain enters the room. As a result, even if the conditions for opening the window 7 by stopping the cooling operation are prepared, if it is raining, the cooling operation is continued without opening the window 7, or the opening of the window 7 is made smaller. It is possible to stop the cooling operation and drive the air blowing means.

  Further, the window opening / closing means 8 is provided in the plurality of windows 7, and the air blowing means and the plurality of windows 7 cooperate to control the room temperature to a comfortable temperature, thereby enabling more comfortable control. Specifically, when the indoor and outdoor wind passages are improved by opening a plurality of windows 7, it is possible to easily take outside air into the room. It is possible to control the room temperature as desired by stopping the operation or adjusting the opening of each window 7.

  Here, the outside air temperature detecting means 3 and the indoor temperature detecting means 5 necessary for the automatic opening / closing of the window 7 and the operation of the air blowing means are respectively attached to the indoor unit 1 and the indoor unit 4 of the air conditioner 2. By using it, it is not necessary to install it newly and it is cheap. On the other hand, when the place where the temperature is to be measured is different from the above, for example, when the outside air temperature detecting means 3 is to be installed in the vicinity of the window 7 outside the window 7, the temperature is measured by newly installing the temperature. It is also possible to increase the detection accuracy.

Although the case of the cooling operation has been described above, the same applies to the case of the heating operation as follows. Only the parts different from the cooling operation will be described. When the user sets a desired set temperature and gives an instruction for heating operation to the air conditioner 2, in the air conditioner 2, the compressor is driven and a high-temperature refrigerant is sent to the indoor unit 4. Air is heat-exchanged, and relatively hot air is blown into the room by the blowing means.

  At this time, for example, when the room temperature is 15 ° C., the set temperature is 22 ° C., and the outside air temperature is 10 ° C., the user can make the room temperature comfortable by the heating operation of the air conditioner 2. On the other hand, when the room temperature is 15 ° C., the set temperature is 22 ° C., and the outside air temperature is 25 ° C., the heating operation is stopped, the window opening / closing means 8 opens the window 7, and the air blowing means of the indoor unit 4 performs the air blowing operation. Even when the outdoor air having a higher temperature than the room flows into the room and the compressor is not driven, that is, the heating operation is stopped, the room temperature can be made comfortable and energy saving. At this time, if the air blowing means is operated as necessary, it is possible to easily exchange the indoor and outdoor air with a small pressure difference, efficiently take in the outside air, save energy to a certain extent, and shorten the time. Because the room temperature can be lowered, it is comfortable.

  As an example of a criterion for the control means 9 to stop the heating operation of the air conditioner 2 and operate the window opening / closing means 8 to open the window 7, as compared with the indoor temperature or the heating set temperature, The outside temperature is high. In this case, as the temperature difference between the outside air temperature and the room temperature, or the temperature difference between the outside air temperature and the heating set temperature is large (for example, 3 ° C. or more), the room temperature can be easily increased using the outside air. Moreover, the room temperature is controlled to a comfortable temperature by changing the opening degree of the window 7 from each temperature information of the outside air temperature, the room temperature, and the set temperature, or changing or stopping the rotation speed of the fan of the air blowing means. Can be realized relatively easily.

  The automatically opened window 7 automatically instructs the air conditioner 2 to stop the heating operation or when the outside temperature is higher than the set temperature and the room temperature becomes the set temperature. Closed. Further, when the window 7 is automatically opened and the outside air temperature becomes lower than the set temperature, or when the outside air temperature becomes lower than a temperature obtained by adding a predetermined temperature (for example, 1 ° C.) from the set temperature, the window 7 Is automatically closed, and the air conditioner 2 performs heating operation.

  In addition, the air conditioner interlocking window opening and closing device in the present embodiment does not approach a suspicious person or enter the room through the window 7 when the window 7 is automatically opened or opened. It has a crime prevention function. Specifically, the crime prevention function includes a human sensor (not shown) that detects that a person has approached. When the human sensor detects that a person has approached the window 7, light such as a lamp or an LED is displayed. Or a sound such as an electronic sound, or the window 7 is automatically closed. Thus, even when the window opening / closing means 8 automatically opens the window 7, it is possible to prevent a suspicious person from approaching or entering from the window, so that the user is relieved.

  As described above, the air conditioner interlocking window opening and closing device according to the present invention drives the air blowing unit of the air conditioner when the window is opened, so that the outside air can be efficiently taken into the room and is comfortable. In addition to being energy-saving, when the outside air temperature is high not only during cooling but also during heating, it is possible to stop the heating operation by opening the window and taking in outside air. When opening windows, it has a security function and can give the user a sense of security, so it is not limited to the home air conditioning field, but also to the commercial air conditioning field, residential building field, and home security field. Application is possible.
