Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air conditioner for controlling an air conditioner based on a skin temperature of an air conditioner. 2. Description of the Related Art As a prior art of such an air conditioner, there is one disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-321421. According to this prior art, the radiant temperature detecting means provided on the upper part of the windshield is first turned toward the reference temperature member, and then swung toward the occupant's head or knee, thereby providing the radiant temperature detecting means. To receive infrared rays from the occupant's head, face, and chest, and then invert the radiation temperature detection means, receive infrared rays from the occupant's chest, face, and head, and return to the reference temperature member again. Make up. The temperature calculating means estimates and calculates the occupant's skin temperature, especially the face temperature, based on the reference temperature of the reference temperature member and the radiant energy from each part of the occupant detected by the radiant temperature detecting means. Air conditioning control is performed based on the temperature. [0004] In the above-described prior art, a part where clothes are not worn (for example, a head or a face) but a part where clothes are worn (for example, a chest).
However, radiant energy from the surface of each part is detected in the same manner. Therefore, for the part where the clothes are attached to the body, the radiation temperature detecting means actually detects the radiant energy from the surface of the clothes at the part, and detects the radiant energy from the skin at the part. Not detected. [0005] As described above, according to the above-mentioned prior art, it is impossible to estimate the skin temperature at a site where clothes are worn, such as the chest, and as a result, the skin temperature at each site of the occupant's body is determined. I can't do that. Generally, it is known that the skin temperature of the human body is different depending on each part. Therefore, when air-conditioning air is blown to the body of the air-conditioning driver, unless the air-conditioning air corresponding to the skin temperature of each part of the body is blown out independently, the air-conditioning driver will not be able to blow each part of the body. It cannot be said that air-conditioning control is performed so that a comfortable feeling of heat can be obtained for each. [0006] In this sense, since the skin temperature of individual parts of the body of the air-conditioning driver cannot be monitored in the above-described conventional technology, the air-conditioning driver can obtain a comfortable feeling of warmth for each part of the body. Air conditioning cannot be controlled.
In view of the above, the present invention detects a skin temperature at a predetermined part of the body of an air-conditioning driver, and controls the air-conditioning of the predetermined part based on the skin temperature, so that the predetermined part has a comfortable feeling of warmth. It is intended to be obtained. [0007] To achieve the above object, according to an aspect of, in the first aspect of the present invention, the air conditioning unit for blowing conditioned air to a predetermined part of the body of the air conditioning driver, the predetermined

And estimating means, so that a warming estimated by the thermal sensation estimating means becomes a predetermined target temperature sensation, and a heat adjusting means for adjusting the amount of heat of air blown from the air conditioning unit to the predetermined portion It is characterized by having. [0008] [0009] [0010] In the present invention of claim 1, wherein [effects of the invention, compute the skin temperature of the predetermined portion of the air conditioning operation's body by skin temperature calculating means
It can be out. Thus, the thermal sensation estimating means based on the calculated <br/> skin temperature to estimate the thermal sensation of the predetermined portion, as heat regulating means the estimated warming becomes a predetermined target temperature sensation,
By adjusting the amount of heat of the air blown out from the air conditioning unit to the predetermined portion, the air conditioning can be controlled so that each portion having a different skin temperature can obtain a comfortable thermal sensation. [0011] In addition, according to the first aspect of the present invention, even if clothes are worn on the predetermined part, the skin temperature calculating means determines the amount of clothing at the predetermined part, the air temperature near the predetermined part, and the predetermined temperature. Since the skin temperature of the predetermined part is calculated based on the wind speed near the part and the amount of solar radiation to the predetermined part, it is possible to calculate the skin temperature of the part where clothes are worn. . Therefore, a thermal sensation is estimated based on the calculated skin temperature, and the amount of heat of air blown from the air conditioning unit to the predetermined portion is adjusted so that the estimated thermal sensation becomes a predetermined target thermal sensation. By doing so, air-conditioning control can be performed so that each part having a different skin temperature can obtain a comfortable warm feeling. In general, it is known that the skin temperature at a site such as an arm or a lower limb changes depending on the amount of blood flowing through the site, that is, the body temperature at the site. Therefore, as in the invention described in claim 1 ,
In calculating the skin temperature of a predetermined part, first, the body temperature of the predetermined part is calculated, and the skin temperature is calculated based on the body temperature, thereby accurately calculating the skin temperature of the part such as the arm or the lower limb.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. When the vehicle air conditioner is activated, a flag FL for calculating the body temperature Tc before the occupant gets on the vehicle is set to 1 in step S1. The reason why FL is set to 1 here is whether or not FL = 0 in step S11, that is, whether or not the processing of this loop has been executed twice or more since the vehicle air conditioner was started, as described later. Is determined. Next, at step S2, the auto switch 2
It is determined whether 6 is on or off. If it is on, the process proceeds to the next step S3, and if it is off, the process returns to step S2 again. In step S3, it is determined whether or not the clothing amount is set by the clothing amount input device 24. If it is set here, the process proceeds to the next step S5. If the clothing amount input device 24 has not been operated at all since the operation of the air conditioner, or if the user has forgotten to press the switch 24e after setting the clothing amount with the switches 24a to 24d, the process proceeds to step S4 and proceeds to step S4. Is notified to the occupant by flashing or the like. In step S5, the clothing amount CLO of the lower limb is calculated from the clothing amount set by the clothing amount input device 24, based on the clothing amount conversion values shown in Table 1 below stored in the ROM. [Table 1] Next, in step S6, the walking speed of the ordinary person, that is, the wind speed V0 of the air hitting the person while walking, is set, and the metabolic heat (the amount of heat emitted from the human body) Qm during the walking of the ordinary person is calculated. Set. Where V0 is 1 m /
s and Qm are set to 120 W / m ² . Next, at step S7, the outside air temperature sensor 20
Is converted into a temperature and the outside air temperature Tout is read.
Then, in step S8, the value from the solar radiation sensor 21 is converted into the amount of solar radiation and the amount of solar radiation Qr is read. And step S
In step 9, the value from the inside air temperature sensor 19 is converted into a temperature and the inside air temperature Tin is read. Next, in step S10, the body temperature Tc of the occupant is calculated. Here, the calculation method differs depending on whether the flag FL is 1 or 0. First, when FL = 1, that is, when the processing of this loop is performed for the first time after the activation of the vehicle air conditioner, the occupant's skin temperature Ts is obtained based on the following equation (1).
Into equation 2 to determine the occupant's internal temperature Tc.
Ts is obtained by calculating Expression 1 again using c, and the calculation of substituting this Ts into Expression 2 to obtain Tc is repeated, and the converged Tc is set as the occupant's body temperature. Ts = Tout−sQd + kf × (Qr + Qe)
+ Qm0｝ / α Qm = kd × (Tc−Ts) + kb × (Tc−Ts) More specifically, first, the skin temperature Ts of the occupant is calculated using the following equation (1). Here, Qd is the amount of conduction heat related to the occupant's internal temperature Tc. As Tc increases, Qd also increases. Here, when calculating the formula 1 for the first time, Qd is determined from Tc which is assumed to be, for example, 36.7 ° C. Kf is a transmission efficiency indicating the degree of the amount of heat that goes out of the occupant through the clothes from the skin surface and is determined by the clothes amount CLO calculated in step S5.
As O increases, it decreases. Qe is the heat of evaporation, Q
m0 is the calorific value. Α is the heat transfer coefficient between the occupant's skin surface and the air, and is determined by V0 set in step S6 and Tout read in step S7. Next, Tc determined by equation (1) is substituted into equation (2) to determine Tc. Here, kd is a heat conduction coefficient indicating the degree of heat transmitted from the occupant's body to the skin surface, and kb is a blood flow heat transfer coefficient indicating the degree of heat flowing as blood from the occupant's body to the skin surface. The value set in step S6 is used as Qm. The Tc calculated in this way is the initially assumed Tc (eg, 36.7 ° C.)
And Qd is calculated again based on the calculated Tc.
Is determined from this Qd using Equation 1, and then Tc is obtained from Equation 2. If this calculation is repeated several times, Tc converges at a certain value.
Is the body temperature immediately after the occupant gets on the vehicle. Conversely, if FL = 0, that is, if the processing of this loop has been performed one or more times since the activation of the air conditioner for the vehicle, the body temperature Tc and skin temperature Ts ( (Calculated in step S13 to be described later) is substituted into the following equation 3 to determine the amount of change in body temperature Tc '. ## EQU3 ## Cc × Tc ′ = Qm−kd × (Tc−Ts) +
kb × (Tc−Ts) (Cc is the heat capacity of the body) When FL = 0, the occupant is already seated and Qm is small, so here Qm
= 60 W / m ² . Then, the present internal temperature Tc is calculated by adding the internal temperature Tc obtained in the previous loop execution to the above-mentioned change amount Tc '. After the body temperature Tc is calculated in step S10 as described above, it is determined in step S11 whether or not FL = 0.
If L = 1, FL is set to 0 in step S12, and a skin temperature change rate Ts' described later is set to 0. That is, immediately after the occupant gets into the vehicle, the conditioned air is not blown to the occupant, so that the occupant's skin temperature does not change. Therefore, when FL = 1, the skin temperature change rate T
Set s' to 0. In step S13, the lower limb skin temperature Ts of the occupant while actually receiving the conditioned air from the foot outlet 16 is calculated based on the following equation (4). Ts = Ta− ｛Qd + kf × (Qr + Qe) +
Qm0｝ / α Here, Ta is the air temperature in the vicinity of the lower leg of the occupant, and is calculated based on the value T ′ obtained by converting the value from the outlet temperature sensor 22 into the temperature and the following equation (5). ## EQU5 ## Ta = Tin−kt × (Tin−T ′) (kt
In Expression 4, Qd is a value determined from the body temperature Tc calculated in step S10, and α is a value determined by the wind speed Va near the lower leg of the occupant and the air temperature Ta. The wind speed Va is calculated based on a value V 'obtained by converting the value from the blow-off wind speed sensor 23 into a wind speed value and the following equation (6). Note that kv in Equation 6 is the foot outlet 16
Is a constant determined by the shape of. Va = kv × V 'Then, in step S14, the warm feeling S is calculated using the following equation (7).
Is estimated. S = k1 × Ts + k2 × Ts ′ + k3 The method of estimating the thermal sensation S in step S14 differs depending on whether the flag FL is 1 or 0. For example, when FL is 1, the skin temperature change rate Ts '= 0 is set in step S12, so Ts' = 0 and Ts calculated in step S13 are substituted into the above equation (7). This gives a warm feeling S. If FL is 0, Ts' is obtained from a value obtained by subtracting Ts calculated in step S13 of the previous execution loop from Ts calculated in step S13 of the current execution loop. Then, Ts' and step S13 of the current execution loop are executed.
The thermal sensation S is obtained by substituting Ts calculated in the above equation into the above equation (7). Next, in step S15, it is determined whether or not the difference between the thermal sensation S estimated in step S14 and the target thermal sensibility Sc stored in advance in the ROM falls within the allowable value ΔS. To maintain the current air condition. On the other hand, if it does not fit, in step S17, the above Sc is substituted as S in the above equation 7, and the Ts calculated in step S13 of the current execution loop is substituted as Ts, so that the occupant's sense of warmth S is reduced. The target change amount T of the skin temperature required to reach the target thermal sensation Sc
Calculate s'. Then, in step S18, Ts 'calculated in step S17 is substituted into the following equation (8), so that Ts required to realize the target change amount Ts' is obtained.
Calculate a change amount ΔTa of a (air temperature near the lower leg of the occupant). Note that Cs in Expression 8 is the heat capacity of the skin. ## EQU8 ## Cs × Ts ′ = α × (Ta + ΔTa−Ts) −
{Qd + kf × (Qr + Qe) + Qm0} In step S18, after calculating ΔTa, a target air temperature Ta ′ near the lower leg of the occupant (= Ta + ΔTa) is calculated. Then, in step S19, step S9
The target blow-out temperature T of the air blown out from the foot outlet 16 is calculated from the inside air temperature Tin read in step (1), the target air temperature Ta 'calculated in step S18, and the following equation (9). ## EQU9 ## Ta ′ = Tin−kt × (Tin−T) (k
t is a constant) The target outlet temperature T obtained from the above equation 9 is the outlet temperature Tcool during maximum cooling of the air conditioner and the outlet temperature Tho during maximum heating.
If it is within the range of t, the relationship of the above equation 8 can be satisfied even if the wind speed Va near the occupant's lower limb is maintained as it is, and the target change amount Ts' calculated in step S17.
Can be realized. In this embodiment, the blower voltage applied to the drive motor 4 is determined based on the characteristics shown in FIG. That is, the inside air temperature T under the same target temperature sense Sc
Since the relationship between in and the blower voltage is as shown in FIG. 5, the blower voltage is determined from the target temperature sense Sc and the inside air temperature Tin. On the other hand, if the target outlet temperature T is equal to or lower than the Tcool or equal to or higher than the Thot, it is not possible to realize Ts' that satisfies Equation 8 by merely changing the outlet temperature. Therefore, in this case, Ts' that satisfies the above equation 8 is realized by increasing the wind velocity Va. For this purpose, a target blowing wind speed Va ′ for increasing the wind speed Va is determined, and a target value V of the blowing wind speed from the foot outlet 16 is determined from Va ′ and the following equation (10). ## EQU10 ## Va ′ = kv × V
(Kv is a constant) By increasing Va in this manner, α related to Va increases, and thus Ts obtained by the above equation (8) is obtained.
'Increases. In step S20, the wind speed blown out from the foot outlet 16 is determined by the wind speed V calculated in step S19.
The blower voltage to be applied to the drive motor 4 while being detected by the blow-off wind speed sensor 23 is set such that Then, in step S21, the air mix door 19 is driven while detecting with the blow-off temperature sensor 22 so that the blow-out temperature from the foot outlet 16 becomes the temperature T calculated in step S10. In step S22, it is determined whether or not the auto switch 26 is turned off. If the auto switch 26 is turned off, the control exits from the execution loop and ends. If the auto switch 26 has not been turned off, step S8
Return to As described above, in the present embodiment, step S
At 10, the body temperature Tc is determined based on the clothing amount CLO of the lower limb, and at step S13, the skin temperature Ts is determined based on the internal temperature Tc. Therefore, the temperature of the skin surface of the lower limb can be determined. In the present embodiment, the skin temperature Ts
