Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a comfortable sleeping environment while air conditioning the inside of a bed together with a bedroom by a method wherein detection is done by a room temperature sensor in a bedroom and a temperature sensor in a bed, and a first indoor unit and second indoor unit are operated by a common outdoor unit. CONSTITUTION:When both temperatures in a bedroom and in a bed are higher than a certain set value, a temperature sensor 11 and room temperature sensor 12 detect this, a control unit 13 operates an outdoor unit 9, and at the same time, a first valve 14 which is piping-connected to a first indoor unit 7 and a second valve 15 which is piping-connected to a second indoor unit 8 are opened, and the insides of the bedroom and bed are air conditioned. Also, when only the temperature in the bedroom is higher than the set temperature, only the second valve is opened, and only the second indoor unit is operated to air condition the inside of the bedroom only. In addition, when only the temperature in the bed is higher, in the same manner, only the first indoor unit is operated to air condition the inside of the bed only.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sleeping device that performs air conditioning by blowing air.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, devices have been developed that add air-conditioning and heating functions to sleeping devices so that the user can sleep comfortably.

A conventional device of this kind, as shown in FIG.
A bedding member 2 that surrounds the body of the sleeper 1, an air conditioner 3 that generates an airflow of a predetermined temperature and humidity near the body of the sleeper 1 within the bedding member 2, and a temperature and humidity of the airflow that is measured. It is comprised of a measuring device 4 and a control device 5 that controls the operation of the air conditioner 3, and is configured to cool or heat the sleeping person 1 using the air flow. (For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 56-97416) Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above configuration, only the sleeping person in the bed is heated and cooled, and the entire bedroom cannot be air-conditioned. Therefore, it is difficult to control the air conditioning inside the bed.
Another air conditioner must be installed for the bedroom. Furthermore, when the above-mentioned device was installed in the main body of the sleeping device, there was a problem in that the treatment of exhaust heat and drain water became complicated. In addition, if there is only an indoor air conditioner in the bedroom, if the room temperature in the bedroom is very high in the summer, the room temperature will gradually drop by driving the air conditioner, but The temperature in the room was slow to drop, making it difficult to sleep, among other issues.

The present invention solves such conventional problems, and aims to provide a comfortable sleeping environment by air-conditioning the bed as well as the bedroom.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the sleeping device of the present invention includes a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature in the bed, a room temperature sensor for detecting the temperature in the bedroom, and a temperature sensor provided in the main body. The indoor unit includes a first indoor unit, a second indoor unit installed indoors, an outdoor unit common to the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit, and a control device.

Effect The present invention has the above-described configuration, so that, for example, in summer,
If the temperature inside the bedroom and bed is extremely high, the temperature sensor inside the bedroom and the temperature sensor inside the bed will detect this, and the common outdoor unit will control the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit. It is operated to cool both the bedroom and the sleeping area. Further, when the temperature inside the bedroom and bed is not so high, only the second indoor unit is operated to cool only the room temperature of the bedroom.

Furthermore, if you dry your futon during the day and the room temperature in the bedroom is high (even if the temperature in the bed is high, only the first indoor unit will be operated to cool only the inside of the bed).
Due to the above-mentioned effects, a comfortable sleeping environment can be obtained in any case.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 6 denotes a sleeping device main body, which has a first indoor unit 7 for air conditioning inside the bed.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a second indoor unit for use in the bedroom, which, together with the first indoor unit, is connected to a common outdoor unit 9 with refrigerant piping. Reference numeral 10 denotes a mat having a hollow interior, into which the conditioned air blown out from the first indoor unit 7 is blown (not shown). Reference numeral 11 indicates a temperature sensor in the bed installed on the surface of the man 10, and reference numeral 12 indicates a room temperature sensor for detecting the temperature in the bedroom.

In FIG. 2, when the temperature inside the bedroom and the bed are both higher than a certain set value, the temperature sensor 11 and the room temperature sensor 12 detect this, and the control device 13 operates the outdoor unit 9. A first valve 14 connected to the first indoor unit 7 and a second valve 15 connected to the second indoor unit 8 are opened to air condition the inside of the bedroom and the bed.

Further, when only the temperature inside the bedroom is higher than the set temperature, only the second valve is opened, and only the second indoor unit is operated to air-condition only the inside of the bedroom. Furthermore, when the temperature only inside the bed is high, in the same way, only the first indoor unit 7 is operated to air-condition only the inside of the bed.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the sleeping device of the present invention provides the following effects.

(1) Since it has a first indoor unit for the temperature sensor that detects the temperature inside the bed and a second indoor unit for the room temperature sensor that detects the temperature inside the bed, both the inside of the bedroom and the bed or Either one can be air conditioned.

(2) Since it has a common outdoor unit, there is no need to treat exhaust heat or drain water in the bedroom.
