BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a heating system that uses both an air conditioner and a floor heating device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a device for heating a room, there are generally an air conditioner (commonly known as an air conditioner) capable of cooling and heating operation, and a hot air heating device using oil or gas. A floor heating system that heats hot water from hot water supply facilities or hot water heated by solar heat has attracted attention. This floor heating system has a small heating capacity, but uses radiant heat, so it is effective in uniformly and efficiently heating the room, while the former air conditioner has a large heating capacity and warms the room quickly. Etc. are advantageous. Therefore, by using the air conditioner (hereinafter abbreviated as an air conditioner) and the floor heating device together, a heating system capable of more efficient and economical heating can be obtained. In this case, conventionally, the operation of the air conditioner and the operation of the floor heating device are individually controlled by the operation controller dedicated to the air conditioner and the operation controller dedicated to the floor heating device, respectively.

[0003]

Therefore, when the heating operation is performed, the user has to operate the operation controllers of the air conditioner and the floor heating system, respectively, and normally, these two controllers are separately arranged in the room. Therefore, it is troublesome to operate. In addition, adjustment of room temperature setting etc. is done separately for each controller, and the adjustment setting operation is troublesome,
There was a problem that uneconomical driving situation would result if proper setting and adjustment were not performed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and makes it possible to control an air conditioner and a floor heating device with a single operation controller, and automatically operate the air conditioner and the floor heating device according to the room temperature. It is an object of the present invention to provide a heating system that is controlled so that operation, stop, and strong / weak operation are performed in an interlocking manner to improve operability and enable economical operation and use.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention of claim 1 is an air conditioner and a floor heating device,
In a heating system for heating, one operation controller capable of selectively switching between an independent operation of an air conditioner and a combined operation of an air conditioner and a floor heating device, and operation is started by a control command from the operation controller. The air conditioner and the floor heating device are provided with one control device that interlocks and controls the operation so as to reach a set room temperature.

Further, according to the invention of claim 2, a temperature sensor for detecting a room temperature is provided, and when the temperature information from the temperature sensor is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, the operation of the air conditioner is stopped and only the floor heating device is provided. The heating operation is automatically controlled.

Further, in the invention of claim 3, when the temperature information by the temperature sensor is below a predetermined temperature, the air conditioner is automatically controlled to output-adjusted operation.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 is an air conditioner (air conditioner) installed and installed in an appropriate place in the room 2 such as a wall surface. Reference numeral 3 denotes a floor heating device formed by laying a heating pipe 5 on the floor surface of the room 2 for guiding and flowing hot water from the hot water supply device. Reference numeral 4 denotes a single operation controller provided so that the air conditioner 1 and the front floor heating device 3 can be remotely controlled, and is mounted on a wall surface or the like at a height position which is easily operated by a user. A command 7 from the operation controller 4 is input from the control line 8 to control the air conditioner 1 connected by the circuit wiring 9 for power supply and control signal, and the circuit wiring 21.
A control device that is provided to control the opening and closing of the electromagnetic valve 19 for supplying hot water by sending a control signal via, and is attached to a part of the floor heating device 3 in the embodiment.

Now, the above-mentioned operation controller 4 is shown in FIG.
17 is a driving switch,
Reference numeral 18 is a set temperature operation unit for vertically shifting and setting a desired cooling temperature or heating temperature. 16
Is a temperature display portion for switching and displaying the set temperature and the room temperature during actual cooling and heating, and shows the temperature display state when the heating set temperature of 25 ° C. is set in the figure. Further, the operation controller 4 is provided with an operation mode setting switch 15 for selectively setting the control when the air conditioner 1 is used alone and the control when the air conditioner 1 and the floor heating device 3 are used together. It is provided.

Then, the operation mode setting switch 15
When the setting operation is performed on the interlocking side as shown in the figure, the control device 7 controls both the air conditioner 1 and the floor heating device 3 to operate, and controls the operation and stop of the air conditioner 1 according to the temperature state of the room 2. In addition, the air conditioner 1 can be controlled to operate by adjusting the high output state and the low output state.

That is, in the air conditioner 1, a temperature sensor 12 is arranged in the air passage or the like in the air conditioner 1 so as to detect the room temperature. The temperature information from the temperature sensor 12 is input to the control device 7 through the circuit wiring 9, and the control device 7 sends the next control command to the air conditioner 1 according to the temperature information. A reception unit 14 is provided on the air conditioner 1 side for transmitting a control signal from the unit 13 and receiving the control signal. This transmission / reception control can be performed by, for example, an infrared type light emitting section using infrared rays and a light receiving section.

Therefore, for example, when the temperature sensor 12 detects that the room temperature is higher than a certain temperature, a control signal for temporarily stopping the operation of the air conditioner 1 is transmitted to the transmitter 1 of the controller 7.
3 is transmitted, and the receiving unit 14 receives it and the air conditioner 1
The operation is stopped and the floor heating device 3 is controlled to perform heating only. Alternatively, instead of stopping the operation of the air conditioner 1, a control command such as lowering the rotation speed of the blower fan is sent to operate the air conditioner 1 in a low output state in which the heating capacity is weakened. When the temperature sensor 12 detects that the room temperature has dropped to a predetermined temperature or less due to the stop of the operation of the air conditioner 1 and a lapse of time, a transmission start command signal for restarting the operation of the air conditioner 1 is sent. 13 is sent and the air conditioner 1 is restarted.

As described above, when the air conditioner 1 and the floor heating device 3 can be controlled by the one operation controller 4 and the one control device 7 and the heating operation is performed in combination, the air conditioner 1 and the air conditioner 1 are initially operated. A quick heating effect is obtained by operating both floor heating devices 3, and thereafter, ON / OFF control of the air conditioner 1 and output adjustment operation control are automatically performed according to the room temperature to maintain the room temperature on average. As a result, resource-saving use can be achieved, and room temperature control can be appropriately performed to improve comfort.

When the operation mode setting switch 15 is set to the independent side, the floor heating system 3 is stopped and only the air conditioner 1 is operated to perform heating, and the air conditioner 1 responds to the room temperature detected by the temperature sensor 12. The operation and stop are controlled intermittently.

[0015]

As described above, according to the invention of claim 1,
Since it is possible to control the air conditioner and the floor heating system by interlocking with one operation controller, there are separate dedicated controllers for the air conditioner and the floor heating system as in the past, and there are individual users. The operability is further improved and it is easier to handle than the case where the operation of starting and stopping the operation or setting the temperature is performed. In addition, parts cost and wiring circuit are simplified,
Installation work and serviceability can also be improved.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the air-conditioner operation stop control is performed according to the room temperature information, and the control for switching to the operation of only the floor heating device is automatically performed. Economical operation can be achieved, rapid heating is enabled and it is easy to maintain an appropriate room temperature to ensure comfort.

Further, according to the third aspect of the invention, since the output adjusting operation of the air conditioner can be performed according to the room temperature, more detailed control of the room temperature can be performed, and the comfort is further improved. It will be possible.
