Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an abnormality content confirmation device for an air conditioner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for a product having a high serviceability, which is simple and easy to understand for confirming and displaying an abnormality content due to a failure of a separate type air conditioner.

The conventional means for confirming and displaying the abnormality content of the indoor unit of the separate type air conditioner has a structure as shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the confirmation means and the display method will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in the figure, the indoor unit body 101 and the outdoor unit body 102 are connected by a refrigerant pipe 103, and
The indoor unit control device 104 and the outdoor unit control device 105 are connected by an indoor / outdoor connection line 106, and an inside / outside signal 107 and an outside / inside signal 1
08 are transmitted and received respectively. The indoor unit main body 101 includes a display device 109 connected to the indoor unit side control device 104 and a receiving device 112.
12 received the transmission signal 111 transmitted from the wireless remote controller 110.

In the above configuration, the display device 109 normally displays information on the operating state of the indoor unit body 101, but when an abnormality occurs on the indoor unit body 101 side, the indoor unit side control device 104 causes the display device 109 to display. A signal corresponding to the content of the abnormality is transmitted, and this display device 109 blinks according to the signal and displays a display pattern different from that during normal operation to notify that the abnormality has occurred.

[0006]

In such a conventional air conditioner abnormality content confirmation apparatus, the display of the abnormality on the indoor unit main body 101 side is performed by the display device 109 used during normal operation. Since it is a method of displaying differently from the display pattern, when checking the blinking pattern corresponding to the content of the abnormality, it is necessary to refer to the manual etc. one by one, and it is difficult to judge due to the influence of ambient light etc. Become
There is also a problem that if the confirmation is started in the middle of blinking, it is necessary to confirm again from the beginning.

The present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an abnormality content confirmation device for an air conditioner that can easily confirm the abnormality content of an indoor unit without referring to a manual or the like, without being affected by ambient light. The first purpose is to provide.

A second object is to be able to reliably confirm that an abnormality has occurred with a wireless remote controller at hand.

[0009]

In order to achieve the first object, an abnormality content confirmation device for an air conditioner according to the present invention comprises:
A first means is an indoor unit main body equipped with a wireless remote controller, an indoor unit control device connected to an outdoor unit control device in the outdoor unit main body by an indoor / outdoor connection line, and an indoor unit control device provided in the indoor unit main body. A display unit that is connected to the indoor unit control device and displays the operating state, a receiving unit that is connected to the indoor unit control device and receives an infrared signal from the wireless remote controller, and a connection unit that is connected to the indoor unit control device and displays the abnormality content. A configuration is provided that includes a speaker unit that notifies by voice and an abnormality content confirmation unit provided in the wireless remote controller.

In order to achieve the second object, the second
Means for receiving an abnormality content transmission device connected to the indoor unit control device in the indoor unit body, and a signal from the abnormality content transmission device connected to the wireless remote controller control device in the wireless remote controller. An apparatus and a speaker unit that is connected to the wireless remote controller control apparatus and notifies the content of abnormality by voice are provided.

[0011]

According to the present invention, by the configuration of the above-mentioned first means, the abnormality content confirmation signal from the wireless remote controller is transmitted to the receiving section of the indoor unit in which the abnormality has occurred, so that the abnormality content of the indoor unit is detected by the speaker section. Will be informed as a voice.

Further, according to the structure of the second means, when an abnormality occurs, the speaker unit provided in the wireless remote controller notifies the user of the abnormality by voice.
