Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a control device for an air conditioner, and more specifically, it generates and stores a plurality of operation control programs, and selectively controls the operation as necessary. The present invention relates to a control device for an air conditioner.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in air conditioners shared by multiple users,
There are differences in the comfortable indoor environment depending on the user,
Each device is often used with different setting modes for temperature, air volume, air direction, etc., and it takes time and effort to reset the control mode of the control device using a remote control device each time, making it inconvenient to use.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and allows easy operation by inputting and storing the setting mode of a comfortable indoor environment for a plurality of elderly users in the air conditioner control device in advance. The object of the present invention is to provide a control device for an air conditioner that can set a setting mode for a comfortable environment for elderly people.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, a program input means for inputting the operation control program of the air conditioner, a program registration means for registering the operation control program, a memory, and a program selection means for selecting the operation control program from the outside are provided. , consisting of a program reading means for reading out the operation control program, an operation control means for controlling the operation of the air conditioner according to the operation control program, and an operation state monitoring means for monitoring the operation state with an indoor temperature detector or the like. The indoor and outdoor units of the air conditioner were controlled according to the same operation control program.

[Effect]

According to the above configuration, a program input means for inputting an operation control program into the control device of the air conditioner, a program registration means, a memory, a program selection means, and a program reading means are provided, and each indoor environment is By registering and storing the setting mode in advance, you can change the operation control setting mode using a simple program readout method.
A comfortable indoor environment can be created.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a control device for an air conditioner according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows the arrangement of a switch panel that is an operating part thereof.

The control device includes a program input means 1 for manually inputting a control program set externally using a select switch etc., a program registration means 3 for classifying the input control program and storing it in a memory 2, a program selection means 4 for selecting a control program stored in the memory 2; a program reading means 5 for reading out the selected control program from the memory 2; and a program reading means 5 for reading out the selected control program from the memory 2; It is composed of an operation control means 8 that controls the operation, and an operation state monitoring means IO that monitors the operation state of the indoor unit 6 or the outdoor unit 7 using an indoor temperature detector 9 or the like and feeds back information to the operation control means 8. .

A program input means 1, a program registration means 3, and a program selection means 4 are arranged on a switch panel 11, and a select switch Sn for setting modes such as timer setting, temperature setting, air volume setting, and operation switching, and its display section 12,
It consists of a self-illuminating program select switch P that registers each control mode for each user and blinks during use to display the control mode in use, and a self-illuminating program set switch PS5 that sets the program and a program reset switch PRS. has been done.

For example, when the select switch Sn is raised, the indicated value on the display changes by keeping the button pressed, and when the set value is reached, the control mode is set by releasing the button.The set value remains on the display. Displayed.

The control mode set in this way is stored in the memory 2 in the control device by the program registration means 3 by pressing the program set switch PS, and is stored by the program selection means 4 by selecting the program select switch Pn. The operating state monitoring means is selected, read by the program reading means 5, and sent to the operation control means 8, and compares and monitors the environmental information from the indoor temperature detector 9 and the control information from the indoor unit 6 or the outdoor unit 7. l
O controls the operation of the air conditioner so that the set value is achieved.

FIG. 3 shows a flowchart for starting the operation of the air conditioner of the present invention. When the power is turned on to the control device, the program from the previous operation is reset at the same time as the power is turned on (21).
, the program set switch PS button repeatedly blinks (22).

When the program set switch PS is pressed in this state (23), the program select switch Pn starts blinking (24), and if a certain period of time (for example, 30 Sec) or more elapses without the program set switch PS being pressed (2
5) A standard program preset in the control device is called to start operation of the air conditioner (26).

When any one of the program select switches Pn is pressed while the program select switch Pn is blinking (27), the control program registered in the program set switch Pn is read from the memory and written to the control memory (28); The operation of the air conditioner is controlled by this control program (29), and the controlled operation is continued under these conditions until the power is turned off or the program reset switch PRS is pressed (30).

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a registration method for registering a favorite control program for senior dogs. When the control device is powered on and the program set switch PS button is pressed (31), the program set switch PS The button repeatedly blinks (32).

In this state, if you select any one of the program select switches Pn and press that button (33), the blinking of the program set switch PS moves to the pressed program select switch Pn (34), and in this state, the select switch The control mode is input by Sn and stored in the memory of the control device (35).

Similarly, the controlled operation continues under these conditions until the power is turned off or the program reset switch PRS is pressed.

As mentioned above, by registering the control program that the elderly dogs prefer in one of the program select switches Pn and selecting it at the time of use to operate the air conditioner, the elderly dogs can create a comfortable indoor room. environment can be created.

In addition, although this example describes a method in which one air conditioner is used by multiple users in series, when multiple air conditioners arranged in each section are controlled by one control device. In addition, by registering the desired control program to the program select switch Pn assigned to the section of the dog used by the user, it is possible to simultaneously create a comfortable indoor environment for the elderly dogs being used. .

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention creates a comfortable indoor environment for each user with a simple button operation by inputting and registering the control program preferred by the elderly dog in the air conditioner control device. I can do it.
