Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable comfortable and quick air-conditioning by controlling the direction of louvers of individual room machines so that air blown from the individual room machines will not hit mutually. CONSTITUTION:The direction of the air being blown from room machines 1 and 3 is regulated by simultaneous control of the driving of louvers 11 and 21 with microcomputers 9 and 19 through the giving or taking of signals between transmitting sections 13 and 23 and receiving sections 15 and 25 so that the air blown will not hitting mutually. For example, when the room machines 1 and 3 are arranged in a room side by side on a plane. swinging operations of the louvers 11 and 21 are made to interlock in the same direction thereby enabling the avoiding of the hitting of the air blown. This enables the distribution of temperature in a dwelling space efficiently and evenly thereby achieving comfortable and quick air conditioning.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air conditioning controller for air conditioning a room with a plurality of indoor units.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the recent improvement in habitability in houses, the number of rooms is increasing and the room area is also increasing. Along with this, there is a tendency that the air-conditioned space area handled by one indoor unit also increases.

In general, when air conditioning is performed, as the amount of air blown out from the indoor unit increases, the user feels uncomfortable called cold draft and the blowing noise increases. On the contrary, if the amount of blown air is small, quick air conditioning cannot be performed.

From the above, in air conditioning of a large room, it is conceivable that a plurality of indoor units are provided to share the air conditioning capacity and to perform quick air conditioning with an appropriate amount of blown air.

[0005]

By the way, when one room is air-conditioned by a plurality of indoor units, the collision of the blown air from each indoor unit causes discomfort to the user and the temperature of the entire room. The distribution may be disturbed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above,
An object of the invention is to provide an air conditioning control device that can contribute to comfortable and quick air conditioning.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, in an apparatus for air conditioning one room with a plurality of indoor units,
The gist of the present invention is to have means for controlling the orientation of the louver of each indoor unit so that the air blown from each indoor unit does not collide with each other.

Further, the present invention, in a device for air-conditioning one room by a plurality of indoor units, has means for controlling the position of the louver of each indoor unit so that the air blown out from each indoor unit does not collide with each other. Is the gist.

[0009]

In the air-conditioning control device according to the present invention, the blowing air from each indoor unit collides with each other by controlling the direction of the louver of each indoor unit or the louver swing operation of each indoor unit arranged in one room. By not doing so, it is possible to prevent the user from feeling uncomfortable or disturbing the temperature distribution in the room.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 and 3 are first and second indoor units respectively installed in one room, and 5 is a remote controller for instructing air conditioning to the first and second indoor units 1 and 3. .

The first indoor unit 1 has a remote control signal receiving section 7 for receiving a signal from the remote controller 5, a microcomputer 9 for controlling the operation of the entire first indoor unit 1, and a louver 11.
And a transmitting unit 13 and a receiving unit 15 for exchanging signals with the second indoor unit 3 via the transmission line 12.

The second indoor unit 3 has the same structure as the first indoor unit 1 and has a remote control signal receiving section 17, a microcomputer 19, a louver 21, a transmitting section 23 and a receiving section 25.

The remote controller 5 includes the first and second indoor units 1
A remote control signal transmission unit 27 that transmits an air conditioning instruction signal to the control unit 3 and 3, and a microcomputer 29 that controls the overall operation of the remote control 5.
And a swing button 31 for instructing the louvers 11, 21 of the indoor units 1, 3 to perform a swing operation, and an indoor unit facing button 33 for notifying that the first and second indoor units 1, 3 are oppositely arranged. And have.

In the apparatus of this embodiment having such a structure, the blowing direction of the blowing air from the indoor units 1 and 3 is determined by the transmitting unit 1.
It is characterized in that the driving of the louvers 11 and 21 by the microcomputers 9 and 19 is synchronously controlled by exchanging signals between the signals 3 and 23 and the receiving units 15 and 25 so that blown air does not collide with each other. Therefore, it is possible to find various control modes depending on the deployment position situation of the indoor units 1 and 3.

Specifically, when the indoor units 1 and 3 are arranged side by side on one surface of the room 35 as shown in FIG. 2, the swing motions of the louvers 11 and 21 are interlocked in the same direction ((1) in FIG. 2 → By performing (2) → (3) → (2) → (1)), it is possible to avoid the collision of the blowing air.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the indoor unit 1,
When the three louvers 11 and 21 are arranged facing each other, when air conditioning is performed without swinging the louvers 11 and 21, the respective louvers 11 and 21 are
It is possible to avoid the collision of the blown air by temporarily swinging in the same direction, ending the swing there, and starting blowing (see FIG. 3). When air conditioning is performed while swinging the louvers 11 and 21, the swing operation can be similarly avoided by limiting the swing ranges of the louvers so that they do not overlap each other and performing the swing operation.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the blow-out winds do not collide with each other, so that the wind blows to every corner of the room with the minimum required blow-out air amount, and the temperature distribution in the living space is efficiently made uniform. be able to.

In the above-described embodiment, the louvers 11 and 21 of the first and second indoor units 1 and 3 are synchronously controlled, but the louver 1 is prevented from colliding with the blowing air.
It goes without saying that asynchronous control may be used as long as the drive of the drive wheels 1 and 21 can be controlled.

[0020]

As described above, according to the present invention,
By controlling the louver direction or louver swing motion of each indoor unit deployed in one room so that the air blown from each indoor unit does not collide with each other, it may cause discomfort to users. Since the temperature distribution in the room is prevented from being disturbed, the temperature distribution in the living space can be efficiently and uniformly made, and comfortable and quick air conditioning can be performed.
