Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、室内機に電気集塵器を搭載し、リモコン装置に空気調和の運転、停止を操作するエアコンボタンと、電気集塵器の運転を操作する空気清浄ボタンとを設けた空気調和機に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術及び発明が解決しようとする課題】
この種の従来の空気調和機においては、電気集塵器による集塵運転中に空気調和運転を開始すると、集塵電極に対する通電が断たれて空気調和運転のみに移行する構成になっていた。従って、空気調和運転中も電気集塵器による集塵動作を継続するためには、空気調和の運転、停止を操作するボタンとは別のボタンを操作しなければならず、空気調和運転と空気清浄運転とを連携させる場合の操作性が幾分悪かった。
【０００３】
また、空気調和運転の停止中に電気集塵器を運転する場合、風量は空気調和運転時に選択可能な最小値、すなわち、微風に固定され、さらに、集塵電極には常時通電させたため、静かな省エネルギー運転ができなかった。
【０００４】
さらに、空気調和運転の停止中に電気集塵器を運転する場合、風量及び風向が固定であったため、集塵性能を高めるにはそれなりの変更操作を必要とした。
【０００５】
本発明は上記の課題を解決するためになされたもので、第１の目的は空気調和運転と空気清浄運転とを連携させる場合の操作性を向上させることのできる空気調和機を提供することにある。
本発明の第２の目的は静かな省エネルギー運転を可能にする空気調和機を提供することにある。
本発明の第３の目的は使用者が特別な設定操作をしなくとも、集塵性能を高めることのできる空気調和機を提供することにある。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の目的を達成するため、請求項１に係る発明は、室内機に電気集塵器を搭載し、空気調和機の運転操作を行なうリモコン装置を備えた空気調和機において、リモコン装置に空気調和の運転、停止を操作する第１のボタンと、前記電気集塵器の運転を操作する第２のボタンとを設け、空気調和運転の停止中での前記第２ボタンによる電気集塵器の運転中に、第１のボタンによって空気調和運転を開始するとき、電気集塵器の集塵電極の通電状態を継続させ、第１のボタンによって空気調和運転を停止するとき、集塵電極の通電を同時に停止する制御部を備え、制御部は、空気調和運転の停止中に、第２のボタンによって電気集塵器を運転するときの電気集塵器の運転状態として、室内送風機を指定された風量で送風運転し、かつ、前記集塵電極を連続通電する第１の運転状態と、室内送風機を超微風で運転し、かつ、集塵電極を運転開始から所定の時間だけ連続通電し、所定時間を経過した後は断続通電に移行する第２の運転状態とを備えることを特徴とするものである。
【０００７】
請求項２に係る発明は、請求項１に記載の空気調和機において、制御部は、空気調和運転の停止中に、第２のボタンを操作する毎に電気集塵器の運転状態を、前記第１の運転状態と、前記第２の運転状と、集塵電極の通電及び室内送風機の送風の両方を停止する運転停止状態とに順次切替える動作を繰返すことを特徴とするものである。
【０００８】
請求項３に係る発明は、請求項１に記載の空気調和機において、制御部は、第１の運転状態にて室内送風機の風量を、時間の経過に応じて低下させることを特徴とするものである。
【００１２】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を好適な実施形態に基づいて詳細に説明する。
図１は本発明を適用する空気調和機の室内機の概略構成を示す斜視図である。同図において、室内機１は上下方向で見て中間部よりも上方の側壁に設置され、この室内機１から電源コードが導出され、プラグ２が壁に設けられたコンセントに差込まれている。室内機１はその正面部下方に吹出し空気の方向を調整するルーバ３を備え、その上方に室内空気を吸込む吸込みパネル４を備えている。また、室内機１の正面部の下方側部に表示器等と並べてリモコン装置からの光信号を受信する受光部５が設けられている。図１では図示を省略したが、吸込みパネル４と、その内側に設けられる室内送風機との間に電気集塵器を構成する空気清浄ユニットが設置されている。
【００１３】
図２は本発明に係る空気調和装置の第１の実施形態のリモコン装置の概略構成を示す平面図である。ここに示すリモコン装置１０は上方（図面の上側）に表示部１１を有し、この表示部１１の下方に空気調和の運転、停止を操作する第１のボタンとしてのエアコンボタン１２と、電気集塵器の運転を操作する第２のボタンとしての空気清浄ボタン１３とが並べて設けられ、さらにその下の領域に風量調整用の風量ボタン１４を含む複数の設定ボタンが配置されている。
【００１４】
図３は本発明に係る空気調和機の第１の実施形態の室内制御部の概略構成を示すブロック図であり、特に、本発明に関係する要素のみを示している。ここで、室内制御器２０はＣＰＵ２１を主体に構成され、このＣＰＵ２１に受光部５と、室内ファンモータ６と、空気清浄ユニット７と、ルーバ駆動モータ８とが接続されている。ＣＰＵ２１はリモコン装置１０の光信号を受光部５で受信して、室内ファンモータ６、空気清浄ユニット７及びルーバ駆動モータ８を制御するが、空気清浄ボタン１３の操作回数を計数したり、タイマとして経過時間を計測したりするカウンタ２２を備えている。
【００１５】
ここで、室内制御器２０の主要な動作のうち特に本発明に関連する部分について以下に説明する。先ず、リモコン装置１０のエアコンボタン１２をオン操作すると空気調和運転が開始され、このエアコンボタン１２を再度オン操作すると空気調和運転が停止される。この場合、ＣＰＵ２１は、エアコンボタン１２を操作し、エアコンの運転指令があれば空気清浄ユニット７は運転中か否かを判定する。ここで、空気清浄ユニット７が運転中でないと判定すれば、空気清浄ユニット７を運転しないまま周知の空気調和運転を実行し、もし、空気清浄ユニット７が運転中であれば、集塵電極の通電状態を継続するとともに空気調和運転を実行し、停止指令があれば、空気調和運転を停止すると同時に集塵電極の通電をも停止して空気調和機の動作を全面的に停止させる。
【００１６】
一方、空気調和運転の停止中に、リモコン装置１０の空気清浄ボタン１３を最初にオン操作すると、図４（ａ）に示すように、室内送風機を空気調和運転する場合の弱風が得られるようにＣＰＵ２１が室内ファンモータ６の回転数を制御すると同時に、ＣＰＵ２１は空気清浄ユニット７の集塵電極に通電し、さらに、図４（ｂ）に示す如く、ルーバ３が下向きになるようにルーバ駆動モータ８を制御する。これによって強力な集塵力が発揮される。そして、１５分を経過した時点で、ＣＰＵ２１は、弱風と比較して風量のより少ない微風（空気調和運転時の最も少ない風量）が得られるように室内ファンモータ６の回転数を変更制御し、さらに、ルーバ３が上向きになるようにルーバ駆動モータ８を制御する。この集塵状態で１５分を経過すると、ＣＰＵ２１は、駆動音を伴うことのない超微風状態が得られるように室内ファンモータ６を超低速回転させる。この超微風による集塵状態をイオン風運転と称する。
【００１７】
この結果、運転開始の直後の１５分間は弱風による強力集塵が行われ、また、ルーバ３を下向きにしたことによって床に積もった埃を一気に集塵する。その後、ルーバを上向きにすると共に風量を低減させて天井付近の軽い埃の微力集塵が行われる。さらに、１５分経過後はイオン風運転によって省エネルギー、低騒音運転が行われる。なお、上記した図４（ｂ）に示す実施例では、ルーバ３が下向きになるようにルーバ駆動モータ８を制御したが、運転開始の直後の１５分間だけルーバを上下方向にスイングさせるように構成したものでもよく、これによって空調対象空間の塵埃を満偏無く吸収させることができる。
【００１８】
以上、空気清浄ボタン１３をオン操作した１回目の動作について説明したが、空気清浄ボタン１３をもう１回オン操作した２回目にはこれとは別の集塵動作が行われる。すなわち、図５に示したよう、ＣＰＵ２１は常時超微風が得られるように室内ファンモータ６を制御し、空気清浄ユニット７の集塵電極に対して最初に６０分間だけ連続通電し、続いて、１０分間だけ通電を停止し、その後、１０分間通電するというように、断続通電に移行する。これは、イオン風運転を、室内ファンモータ６を常時超微風運転する状態の中で、集塵電極への通電を連続して行った後、断続運転するものであり、埃の発生割合の少ない環境にて運転当初から低騒音運転を所望し、その後、省エネルギーを所望する場合に好適な運転モードということができる。
【００１９】
なお、空気清浄ボタン１３をもう一度オン操作した３回目には、送風及び集塵電極に対する通電が停止され、つまり、電気集塵器の運転が停止される。従って、空気清浄ボタン１３をオン操作する毎に、上記三つの運転状態が順次繰返される。
【００２０】
一方、空気清浄ユニット７の運転時にエアコンボタン１２をオン操作して空気調和運転を開始した場合、集塵電極に対する通電状態を継続させるように制御している。これによって、空気清浄ボタン１３によって積極的に空気清浄運転の停止操作をしない限り、集塵動作が継続されることになり、空気調和と空気清浄の両方を実施する場合のリモコン装置１０における操作性が向上する。また、空気調和運転の停止時に集塵電極の通電を同時に停止するため、空気調和運転と空気清浄運転とを連携させる場合の操作性を向上させることができる。また、さらに空気調和運転の停止中に空気清浄ボタン１３の操作回数に応じて、所定時間の経過後、あるいは、運転当初から静かな省エネルギー運転が行われ、さらに、風向及び風量を適切に変更することにより、使用者が特別な設定操作をしなくとも、集塵性能を高めることができる。
【００３１】
【発明の効果】
以上の説明によって明らかなように、請求項１に係る発明によれば、電気集塵器の運転を操作する第２のボタンによる電気集塵器の運転中に空気調和の運転、停止を操作する第１のボタンにより空気調和運転が開始されたとしても、電気集塵器の集塵電極の通電状態を継続させ、空気調和運転を行なっているときに空気調和機を停止するとき、第１のボタンにより空気調和運転の停止とともに集塵電極の通電を同時に停止させるので、空気調和運転と空気清浄運転とを連携させる場合の操作性を向上させることができ、また、空気調和運転の停止中に電気集塵器を運転するとき、電気集塵器の運転状態を、室内送風機を指定された風量で送風運転し、前記集塵電極を連続通電する第１の運転状態と、室内送風機を超微風で運転し、かつ、前記集塵電極を運転開始から所定の時間だけ連続通電し、所定時間を経過した後は断続通電に移行する第２の運転状態とを備えるので、集塵力を高めた運転と、静かで、かつ、省エネルギー運転が選択可能になるという効果もある。
【００３２】
請求項２に係る発明によれば、空気清浄用のボタンを操作する毎に前記第１の運転状態と、前記第２の運転状と、運転停止状態とに電気集塵器の運転状態を切り替えることが出来るので、単一のボタン操作のみで使用者が望む集塵状態が実現できる効果もある。
【００３３】
請求項３に係る発明によれば、前記第１の運転状態にて、室内送風機の風量を、時間の経過に応じて低下させるので、大きな集塵力で集塵した後は静かな省エネルギー運転が行われる効果がある。

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on preferred embodiments.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of an indoor unit of an air conditioner to which the present invention is applied. In the figure, the indoor unit 1 is installed on the side wall above the middle portion when viewed in the vertical direction, the power cord is led out from the indoor unit 1, and the plug 2 is inserted into an outlet provided on the wall. . The indoor unit 1 includes a louver 3 that adjusts the direction of the blown air below the front portion thereof, and a suction panel 4 that sucks indoor air above the louver 3. In addition, a light receiving unit 5 that receives an optical signal from the remote control device is provided on a lower side portion of the front portion of the indoor unit 1 along with a display and the like. Although not shown in FIG. 1, an air cleaning unit that constitutes an electric dust collector is installed between the suction panel 4 and an indoor fan provided inside the suction panel 4.
[0013]
FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a schematic configuration of the remote control device of the first embodiment of the air-conditioning apparatus according to the present invention. The remote controller 10 shown here has a display unit 11 on the upper side (upper side of the drawing), an air conditioner button 12 as a first button for operating air conditioning operation and stop, and an electric current collector below the display unit 11. An air purifying button 13 as a second button for operating the duster is provided side by side, and a plurality of setting buttons including an air volume button 14 for adjusting the air volume are arranged below the air cleaning button 13.
[0014]
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the indoor control unit of the first embodiment of the air conditioner according to the present invention, and particularly shows only elements related to the present invention. Here, the indoor controller 20 is mainly configured by a CPU 21, and the light receiving unit 5, the indoor fan motor 6, the air cleaning unit 7, and the louver drive motor 8 are connected to the CPU 21. The CPU 21 receives the optical signal of the remote control device 10 by the light receiving unit 5 and controls the indoor fan motor 6, the air cleaning unit 7 and the louver drive motor 8. The CPU 21 counts the number of operations of the air cleaning button 13, or as a timer. A counter 22 that measures elapsed time is provided.
[0015]
Here, the part relevant to the present invention among the main operations of the indoor controller 20 will be described below. First, when the air conditioner button 12 of the remote control device 10 is turned on, the air conditioning operation is started. When the air conditioner button 12 is turned on again, the air conditioning operation is stopped. In this case, the CPU 21 operates the air conditioner button 12 and determines whether or not the air cleaning unit 7 is in operation if there is an air conditioner operation command. Here, if it is determined that the air purification unit 7 is not in operation, a known air-conditioning operation is performed without operating the air purification unit 7, and if the air purification unit 7 is in operation, the dust collecting electrode If the energization state is continued and the air conditioning operation is executed and a stop command is issued, the air conditioning operation is stopped and at the same time, the energization of the dust collecting electrode is also stopped to completely stop the operation of the air conditioner.
[0016]
On the other hand, when the air purification button 13 of the remote control device 10 is first turned on while the air conditioning operation is stopped, as shown in FIG. 4A, a weak wind in the case of the air conditioning operation of the indoor blower is obtained. At the same time, the CPU 21 controls the rotational speed of the indoor fan motor 6 and at the same time, the CPU 21 energizes the dust collecting electrode of the air cleaning unit 7 and further drives the louver so that the louver 3 faces downward as shown in FIG. The motor 8 is controlled. As a result, a powerful dust collecting force is exhibited. Then, when 15 minutes have elapsed, the CPU 21 changes and controls the number of rotations of the indoor fan motor 6 so as to obtain a light breeze with a smaller air volume than the weak wind (the smallest air volume during the air-conditioning operation). Further, the louver drive motor 8 is controlled so that the louver 3 faces upward. After 15 minutes have passed in this dust collection state, the CPU 21 rotates the indoor fan motor 6 at a very low speed so as to obtain an ultra-fine wind state with no driving sound. This dust collection state by the ultra-fine wind is called ion wind operation.
[0017]
As a result, strong dust collection by a weak wind is performed for 15 minutes immediately after the start of operation, and dust accumulated on the floor is collected all at once by making the louver 3 face down. Thereafter, the louver is turned upward and the air volume is reduced to collect light dust near the ceiling. Furthermore, after 15 minutes, energy-saving and low-noise operation is performed by ion wind operation. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4B, the louver drive motor 8 is controlled so that the louver 3 faces downward. However, the louver is swung up and down for 15 minutes immediately after the start of operation. The dust in the air-conditioning target space can be absorbed completely.
[0018]
The first operation in which the air purification button 13 is turned on has been described above. However, another dust collection operation is performed in the second time in which the air purification button 13 is turned on again. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the CPU 21 controls the indoor fan motor 6 so as to always obtain super-fine wind, and continuously energizes the dust collecting electrode of the air cleaning unit 7 for 60 minutes first, Transition to intermittent energization such that energization is stopped for 10 minutes and then energized for 10 minutes. This is an ion wind operation in which the indoor fan motor 6 is always operated in a super-fine wind , and the dust collection electrode is continuously energized and then intermittently operated, and the generation rate of dust is small. It can be said that the operation mode is suitable when low noise operation is desired from the beginning of operation in the environment and energy saving is desired thereafter.
[0019]
In the third time when the air cleaning button 13 is turned on again, the air flow and the energization to the dust collecting electrode are stopped, that is, the operation of the electric dust collector is stopped. Therefore, each time the air cleaning button 13 is turned on, the above three operating states are sequentially repeated.
[0020]
On the other hand, if the air conditioning button 12 during the operation of the air cleaning unit 7 with ON operation began air conditioning operation is controlled in so that to continue the energization conditions of the dust collecting electrode. As a result, the dust collection operation is continued unless the air cleaning operation is actively stopped by the air cleaning button 13, and the operability in the remote control device 10 when both air conditioning and air cleaning are performed. Will improve. In addition, since the energization of the dust collecting electrode is stopped at the same time when the air conditioning operation is stopped, the operability when the air conditioning operation and the air cleaning operation are linked can be improved. Further, a quiet energy-saving operation is performed after a predetermined time has elapsed or from the beginning of the operation according to the number of times the air purification button 13 is operated while the air conditioning operation is stopped, and the wind direction and the air volume are appropriately changed. Thus, the dust collection performance can be improved without the user performing a special setting operation.
