Next, the control function of the pattern remote controller of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
First, the “remote control learning function” will be described.
When the learning button 6 of the remote control unit 1 shown in FIG. 1 is pressed for 1 second or longer, four COOL ON, COIL OFF, HEAT ON, and HEAT OFF are displayed in the table graph of the liquid crystal screen 9 of FIG. enter in.
Press the menu button / move button 2 up / down selection move ▲ to select the desired mode from the four options COOL ON → COOL OFF → HEAT ON → HEAT OFF.

The remote control light transmitting unit is applied to the light receiving unit on the side of the remote control main body 1, for example, the remote control light transmitting unit of the air conditioner is applied to turn on the remote control.
Then, the remote control mode of the remote controller is stored in the database via the light receiving unit and controller shown in FIG.
Hereinafter, all four remote control codes of COOL ON, COIL OFF, HEAT ON, and HEAT OFF are stored in order, and the mode switching button 4 is pressed for 1 second or more and saved.
Then, the right side of the menu button / movement button 2 left / right selection movement ▲ is pressed for 1 second or more to end the remote control learning mode.

Next, the “reservation pattern function” will be described.
In the case of setting heating / cooling of a couple, an elderly room, a nursery room, and a staff room in the 1 to 4 pattern display shown in the table graph of the liquid crystal screen 9 of the remote control main body 1 in the explanatory diagram of the liquid crystal screen of FIG. This will be explained based on.
For example, in the case of registering a scene assuming a working couple for pattern 1, select mode 1 by pressing mode switching button 4.
Press the up / down selection move ▲ mark of the menu button / movement button 2 to select the reservation 1 of the table graph on the liquid crystal screen 9 in FIG. 2, and press the time button 3 for 1 second to enter the time setting mode.
Select the ON / OFF time by pressing the left / right selection move ▲ mark of the menu button / movement button 2, and set the time by pressing the up / down selection movement ▲ mark of the menu button / movement button 2.
Then, the center push button of the menu button / movement button 2 is pressed to save the set value, and the time setting mode is terminated.
Further, press the center push button of the menu button / movement button 2 for 1 second to enter the temperature setting mode, and the number of the temperature setting item blinks, so press the up / down selection move ▲ mark of the menu button / movement button 2 to set the temperature. .
Then, the central push button of the menu button / movement button 2 is pressed for 1 second to save the set value, and the temperature setting mode is terminated.
In this way, the reservation 1, ON time, OFF time, and temperature of the liquid crystal screen 9 are completed.
Subsequently, reservations 2 to 5 are selected, and time setting and temperature setting are performed in the same manner.

  In the case of an elderly room, the mode switching button 4 is pressed to select pattern 2. Then, reservation setting is made for reservation 1, ON time, OFF time, and temperature of the liquid crystal screen 9, reservations 2 to 5 are subsequently selected, and time setting and temperature setting are similarly performed.

  The nursery room selects the pattern 3 by pressing the mode switching button 4. Then, reservation setting is made for reservation 1, ON time, OFF time, and temperature of the liquid crystal screen 9, reservations 2 to 5 are subsequently selected, and time setting and temperature setting are similarly performed.

  The staff room selects the pattern 4 by pressing the mode switching button 4. Then, reservation setting is made for reservation 1, ON time, OFF time, and temperature of the liquid crystal screen 9, reservations 2 to 5 are subsequently selected, and time setting and temperature setting are similarly performed.

Finally, the “demand control function” will be described.
When a large number of air conditioners are installed in a large room, if one air conditioner is stopped in order to reduce power consumption, unevenness in air conditioning will occur. Therefore, an ECO setting mode is provided to limit the operation of the air conditioner by setting a demand value (maximum demand power) for 30 minutes according to the contract power determination method when one air conditioner is to be stopped so as to save energy.
In the ECO setting mode, a divisor is calculated by the number of air conditioners for 30 minutes, a stop time per unit is calculated, and repetitive control is performed in which the air conditioners are stopped in order for the stop time.
Therefore, the total number of air conditioners is 1 stop = the number of operating units, which reduces power consumption and saves energy.

When the auto / manual switching button 7 of the remote control body 1 shown in FIG. 1 is continuously pressed for 1 second or longer, four ECO OFF, ECO-1, ECO-2, and ECO-3 are displayed in the table graph of the liquid crystal screen 9 in FIG. Enter the ECO setting mode.
Press the menu button / move button 2 up / down selection move ▲ to select the desired mode from the four options ECO OFF, ECO-1, ECO-2, and HECO-3.
Press the Menu button / Movement button 2 left / right select move ▲ mark to change the ECO pattern such as ECO-1 (6 A to F) and ECO-2 (5 A to E) as shown in FIG. Select / set, press the center push button of the menu button / movement button 2 for 1 second to save the set value, and end the ECO setting mode.

The operation of the pattern remote controller according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Press the power button 5 of the remote control body 1 shown in FIG. 1 to turn on the power, and press the mode switching button 4 to turn on / off one of the patterns 1 to 4 of the working couple, the elderly room, the nursery room, and the staff room select.
When the auto / manual switching button 7 is pressed to select auto, the air conditioner performs air conditioning control according to the ON time, OFF time, and temperature of reservations 1 to 5 based on the selected pattern.
When the auto / manual switching button 7 is pressed to select auto, the number of operating units is limited according to the ECO pattern as shown in FIG.
When the manual is selected by pressing the auto / manual switching button 7, the cooling / heating is selected by the cooling / heating switching button 8, and the normal air conditioning operation is performed.
