[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to an air conditioner with a display screen, and relates to an air conditioner having a sensory display screen that can freely express the feeling of any season as an image. be.

[Prior Art] FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a conventional air conditioner with a display described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 1-63925.

In the figure, (1) is the air supply/exhaust port of the air conditioner;
Cold or hot air is blown out and room air is sucked in through this air supply/exhaust port (1).

(2) is a display section that displays images on the screen, and (3) is a wall on which the air supply/exhaust port (1) and the display section (2) are provided.

A conventional air conditioner with a display is configured as described above, and the air conditioner having the air supply and exhaust ports (1) and the display section (2) that displays images on the screen are integrated into the same system. It is built into the wall (3). In addition, instead of the wall-embedded type mentioned above, as a stationary air conditioner with a display,
For example, there is a device described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 63-49418.

Each of the above-mentioned air conditioners with a display simply incorporates a display means and an air conditioning means, and the display means and the air conditioning means do not necessarily operate in conjunction with each other. Therefore, even if the air conditioning operation changes, the display state is always constant, or the display state is unrelated to the air conditioning operation.

However, it has long been known that the sense of coolness and warmth that humans feel is influenced by visual colors, and conversely, if cold or warm air is applied according to visual colors, air conditioning will be effective. is also known to increase.

Therefore, an air conditioner with a display in which a display means and an air conditioner are linked has been devised, and such a device is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-75438.

L Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional air conditioner with a display disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-75438, the color of the display means is simply changed according to the room temperature state during cooling and heating. Met. Therefore, although the air conditioning operation and the display state are linked, the color of the display means is different between the cooling operation and the heating operation, and the color only changes depending on the operating time.

However, it has long been known that the sense of coolness or warmth that humans experience is not only affected by the effects of actual cold or warm air or colors, but also by the visual sense of the seasons. It was known. Conversely, it has been known that the effect of air conditioning can be further enhanced by applying cold or warm air according to the visual sense of the seasons. For this reason, it has been desired to actively utilize this sense of the seasons.

Therefore, this invention expresses any seasonal feeling etc. with a screen display and links this screen display with air conditioning.
An object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner with a display screen that can realize more effective air conditioning.

[Means for Solving the Problems] An air conditioner with a display screen according to the present invention includes a light-transmitting illuminated panel (5) depicting a photograph, a painting, etc., and a back portion of the illuminated panel (5). A display screen means consisting of an illuminator (9) for illuminating an arbitrary color tone, and an inlet (6) and an outlet (7) arranged around the illumination panel (5) of the display screen means. and air conditioning means.

[Function] In the air conditioner with a display screen of the present invention, a light-transmitting electrical panel (5) depicting a photograph or painting, etc.
By illuminating the back of the body with an arbitrary color tone using the illuminator (9), it is possible to express an arbitrary sense of the season through images, to create a feeling of coolness or warmth in the human sensibility through the senses, and to cool or cool the body from a sensory perspective. In addition to assisting with heating, it actually conditions the air using cold and warm air from the air conditioning means.

[Implementation f! 1] Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the external appearance of an air conditioner with a display screen that is an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view showing a vertical section of the main body of the air conditioner with a display screen shown in Fig. 1. be.

In the figure, (4) is the main body of the air conditioner with a display screen, (
5) is a translucent illuminated panel located at the center of the front of the air conditioner body with display screen (4), and this illuminated panel (5) depicts still images such as photographs or paintings. ing. (6) is a suction port for indoor air intake, (7)
is an outlet for blowing out cold air or hot air, and these suction I:I (6) and outlet (7) are arranged around the illumination panel (5). (8) is a controller that controls each operation of the air conditioner with a display screen, (9) is an illumination panel (5
) is an illuminator located on the back of the vehicle, which provides illumination in any color tone. In addition, this air conditioner body with display screen (4)
A heat exchanger, an axial fan, etc. are also built in as air conditioning means, but these are not shown.

As mentioned above, in the air conditioner with a display screen of this embodiment, the display screen means is composed of the illumination panel (5) and the illuminator (9), and the display screen means and the air conditioning means are integrated. This constitutes an air conditioner with a display screen. Further, an inlet (6) and an outlet (7) of this air conditioning means are arranged around the display screen means. Note that the principle of air conditioning operation by air conditioning means is well known;
The explanation will be omitted here.

In the air conditioner with a display screen of this embodiment, by changing the color tone of the illumination by the illuminator (9), the color tone of the photograph, painting, etc. depicted on the illumination panel (5) also changes. Therefore, any image of spring, summer, fall, winter, morning, day, night, etc. can be freely expressed as an image on the screen.

By expressing such an arbitrary sense of the season, it is possible to arbitrarily give a sense of coolness or warmth to human sensibilities through the sense of sight. Also, at this time, the air outlet (7)
Cooling or heating is also performed in terms of actual temperature by blowing cold air and hot air from the air conditioner.

Here, it will be specifically explained that any seasonal feeling can be expressed by the display screen means.

A specific control circuit of the illuminator (9) of the display means of the air conditioner with a display screen of this embodiment has a configuration as shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram showing an example of a control circuit for controlling illumination of the display screen means of the air conditioner with display screen of the present invention. This circuit is a control circuit that can arbitrarily change the color tone using three colored lamps: red, green, and blue. That is, the color tone of the entire illumination can be changed by appropriately adjusting the output voltages for the lamps of red, green, and blue colors, adjusting the intensity of the color of each lamp, and synthesizing the colors.

Further, as the illuminator (9) of this display screen means, 40
18 W fluorescent lights are used, and 6 each of red, green, and blue lights are used.

By arbitrarily changing the color tone of the illuminator (9), any image of spring, summer, fall, winter, morning, noon, or night can be displayed on the illuminated panel (5).

For example, when depicting a photograph of a mountain on the illuminated panel (5), to express the image of morning, the lighting condition should be in clear tones, and to express the image of daytime, the lighting condition should be in bright tones. To express the image of dusk, use a reddish sunset lighting condition. Therefore, even on a hot summer morning, by expressing a refreshing morning scene on the illuminated panel (5), it is possible to create a sense of coolness through the senses.

Moreover, the seasonal feeling of spring, summer, fall, and winter can also be expressed by photographs or paintings depicted on the illuminated panel (5). For example, if you depict a photo of a winter mountain in the summer and express a dazzling snowy mountain that looks like a winter mountain from both the photo and the lighting,
It can express a cold scene just by looking at it. in this way,
By expressing a sense of the season that is different from the actual season, the cooling or heating effect can be further enhanced.

Note that the color tone of this illuminator (9) can be determined using FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a characteristic diagram showing the relationship between the temperature and the output to the illuminator to provide a sensory display that appeals to the senses. From this characteristic diagram, red VRt according to temperature t
, green V Gt, and blue V Bt are determined. For example, when the temperature is 11, red VRtl, green VG
tl and blue VBtl are output, and when the temperature is t2, red VRt2 is output.

Green color VGt2 and blue color VBI3 are respectively output. As a result, the illuminator (9) enters an illumination state with a color tone corresponding to each output voltage. In this way, depending on the temperature, the illuminator (
By changing the color tone of 9), the air conditioning effect can be promoted visually.

On the other hand, if the air conditioning means is also set to an air conditioning operating state that changes appropriately according to the temperature, the display screen means and the air conditioning means will change in conjunction with each other according to the temperature.

As described above, the air conditioner with a display screen of this embodiment includes a display screen means consisting of an illuminated panel (5) depicting a photograph or painting, an illuminator (9) whose color tone changes, and a display screen means for displaying the display screen. It includes an air conditioning means having an inlet (6) and an outlet (7) arranged around the illumination panel (5) of the screen means.

By illuminating the illumination panel (5) with any color tone from the back of the illumination panel (5), it is possible to express any sense of season or the like on the illumination panel (5) through images. At the same time, air conditioning is actually performed using cold air and hot air from the air conditioning means.

Therefore, it is possible to create an image of coolness or warmth in the human sensibility through vision, and assist in cooling or heating from a sensory perspective, and since the temperature actually changes through air conditioning, it is extremely effective to achieve more comfortable air conditioning. This can be realized in a number of ways, contributing to energy savings.

By the way, in the explanation of the above embodiment, the color tone of the illuminator (9) of the display screen means changes in accordance with changes in temperature, but it is also possible to change the color tone in accordance with the passage of time. You may. In addition, in the upper air example, the illumination panel (
Although still images such as photographs and paintings are described in 5), it can also be used for moving images. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, only the air conditioner with a display screen was described and the installation method was not described, but even if this installation method is a wall-embedded type,
Alternatively, it may be a stationary type.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the air conditioner with a display screen of the present invention expresses any seasonal feeling etc. in images using the display screen means, gives a feeling of coolness or warmth to human sensibilities through the visual sense, In addition to assisting air conditioning from a sensory perspective, the air conditioning means actually performs air conditioning from a temperature perspective.
It can extremely effectively achieve more comfortable air conditioning and contribute to energy savings.
