[0014]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically showing a connection relationship between an air conditioner 3 and a remote control device 1 according to the present invention and a configuration of the remote control device 1. As shown in FIG. The air conditioner 3 is composed of an outdoor unit 3a and an indoor unit 3b which are electrically and mechanically connected to each other. ing. Here, the line 2 may be wired or wireless (including not only radio wave communication but also optical communication such as infrared light).

The remote control device 1 includes a transmission material 2
(I / O) 101 for directly transmitting and receiving signals to and from the indoor unit 3b via the
A central processing unit (CPU) 102 that performs various controls based on signals from the CPU 1 and a display unit (LC) made of, for example, a liquid crystal whose display can be switched based on the central processing unit 102
D) 104 and a dedicated memory (RO) holding predetermined data to be given to the central processing unit 102.
M) 103, a mode switch 105 for requesting the central processing unit 102 to perform control, and a setting switch 10
6. Operation switch 107 and inspection / test run switch 10
8 is provided.

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the external appearance of the remote control device 1. In the display unit 104, characters, figures, symbols, and the like that can be displayed are all illustrated. The display unit 104 has a wind direction / air volume display unit 104a as a part thereof, and the present application particularly relates to this display and will be described later in detail.

The operation switch 107 is for switching operation / stop of the air conditioner 3, and the mode switch 105 is for switching operation modes such as cooling / heating / ventilation. The inspection / test operation switch 108 is used for performing inspections and test operations other than the normal operation. The setting switches 106 include a switch 106a for adjusting the wind direction, a switch 106b for adjusting the air volume, a switch 106c for adjusting the temperature, and a switch 10 for other adjustments.
6d may be further included.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the remote control device 1 according to the present embodiment. First, when the power is turned on, information on the presence / absence of the indoor wind direction is given from the indoor unit 3b to the remote control device 1 via the transmission member 2 (step S11). Here, “presence / absence of indoor wind direction” indicates whether or not the type of the indoor unit is such that the wind direction / air volume can be controlled by the remote control device.

In step S12, the information is transmitted to the central processing unit 102 via the interface unit 101 in the remote control device 1. When the central processing unit 102 receives the information indicating that there is no indoor wind direction, the central processing unit 102 displays on the display unit 104 the wind direction / air volume display unit 10.
4a is controlled not to be displayed (step S16). Thereby, the remote control device 1 is compatible with an indoor unit of a type in which the wind direction and the air volume cannot be controlled by the remote control device.

On the other hand, if the central processing unit 102 receives the information indicating that the indoor wind direction is present, the remote control device 1 further requests the indoor unit 3b to transmit a wind direction pattern and receives it (step S13). When information on the wind direction pattern is given to the central processing unit 102, the information is analyzed based on predetermined data stored in the dedicated memory 103, and the number of objects, the wind direction start position, the wind direction moving direction, and the like are obtained. The central processing unit 102 displays the wind direction / air volume display section 104a in a predetermined pattern based on the analysis results. For example, as a result of the analysis, if the swing width of the indoor unit 3b is small, the portion corresponding to the range in which the indoor unit 3b cannot be swung is excluded from the display target, and the wind direction / air volume display unit 104a is displayed (S15). Here, “excluded from the display target” means that no display is made in any case during driving, and the meaning is different from not displaying a position different from the wind direction to indicate the wind direction. This is because the latter can be displayed if the position of the wind direction is different during driving. In this way, the remote control device 1 can display the wind direction and the air volume that match the type of the indoor unit 3b. In the remote control device 1 on which such a display is made, the operation of the indoor unit 3b can be controlled by operating the setting switch 106.

FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram showing the configuration of the wind direction / air volume display section 104a. The upper rectangle schematically shows the indoor unit 3b. The wind direction / air volume display unit 104a has a plurality of display units spread in a fan shape, and these units are shaded in the figure. Each of these display units is designated by a predetermined coordinate system S (X, Y) as shown. Here, X = 0, 1, 2,..., 10 and Y = 0, 1, 2, 3, 3. Only display units corresponding to ranges within the set limit of the indoor unit 3b are selectively displayed for dynamic display described later without being removed from display targets.

FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram showing a specific example in the case where the display unit of the wind direction / air volume display section 104a is selectively displayed to indicate the wind direction. Of the three display units displayed in the diagonally lower left direction, the one present at the bottom has the coordinates S (1,
3), and among the display units displayed in the downward direction, the coordinate of the lowermost display unit is S (5, 2).

FIGS. 6 to 18 are schematic diagrams showing the display of the wind direction / air volume display section 104a when the indoor unit 3b is of a cassette type. However, it is assumed that the number of objects in the balloon is one and the number of swing steps is five.

FIGS. 6 to 10 show swing positions P, respectively.
Wind direction / air volume display unit 1 when the wind direction is fixed to 0 to P4
04a is indicated. In this case, since the number of objects in the balloon is one, the swing positions P0 to P4
Respectively correspond to positions where the X coordinate is 0 to 4. The position where the wind direction should be fixed is the wind direction adjustment switch 10
6a, in a counterclockwise direction (P0 → P1 → P2 →
(P3 → P4 direction). When the power is turned on, for example, W3 is set as the air volume. When the air volume is Wi, a display unit whose Y coordinate is from 0 to i is displayed. Here, the larger the value of i, the larger the air volume. The display unit 1 is operated by operating the air volume adjustment switch 106b.
04a does not change.

FIGS. 11 to 18 sequentially show dynamic display of the wind direction / air volume display section 104a when the wind direction swings. The wind direction swing starts from the swing position P0, moves downward to the swing position P4 as the outward path, and then moves to the swing position P0 as the return path.

FIGS. 19 to 28 are schematic diagrams showing the display of the wind direction / air volume display section 104a when the indoor unit 3b is of a ceiling type. However, the number of objects in the balloon is two, and the number of swing steps is four.

FIGS. 19 to 22 show the display of the wind direction / air volume display section 104a when the wind direction is fixed at the swing positions P0 to P4, respectively. In this case, the number of objects of the balloon is two, and the swing positions P0 to P4 do not change the wind direction from each object (the skip amount is 0), and substantially change the wind direction by changing the wind amount. . Specifically, it is as follows. Position P
At 0, the first object blows out the wind in the wind direction of the X coordinate 1 with the airflow W3, and the second object does not blow out the wind. At the position P1, the first object blows out the wind at the wind direction of the X coordinate 1 with the wind amount W2, and the second object blows the wind at the wind direction of the X coordinate 5 with the wind amount W1. At the position P2, the first object blows out the wind at the wind direction of the X coordinate 1 with the wind amount W1, and the second object blows the wind at the wind direction of the X coordinate 5 with the wind amount W2. At the position P3, the first object does not blow out the wind, and the second object blows out the wind with the wind amount W3 in the wind direction of the X coordinate 5.

The positions P0 to P3 can be operated by the wind direction adjustment switch 106a. Actually, the direction of the wind blown from each object is not changed, but the wind direction can be substantially changed by changing the air volume as described above. Specifically, it can be moved in the counterclockwise direction from the position P0 to the position P3, and the airflows of the first and second objects are respectively reduced and increased one by one.

FIGS. 23 to 28 sequentially show dynamic displays of the wind direction / air volume display section 104a when the wind direction swings. The wind direction swing starts from the swing position P0, moves first to the swing position P4 as the outward path, and then moves to the swing position P0 as the return path. The substantial fluctuation of the wind direction due to the change of the air flow on the outward route is the same as the wind direction control when the above-mentioned wind direction is fixed. On the return path, the airflow of the first and second objects is increased and decreased by one each as the airflow is moved clockwise from the position P3 to the position P0.

Tables 1 to 3 show that there is one louver motor,
An example of data transmitted from the indoor unit 3b to the remote control device 1 is shown under the restriction that the number of objects is two or less and the number of steps in moving the position is two to five. The data is composed of fields D0 to D6. This data corresponds to the wind direction pattern referred to in step S13.

[0031]

[Table 1]

[0032]

[Table 2]

[0033]

[Table 3]

The field D0 defines the number of A swing objects. The central processing unit 102 of the remote control device determines the number of objects by detecting the second bit and the third bit of the field D0 (step S1).
4). If the number of objects is 1, fields D5 and D
6 is ignored and if the number of objects is 2, field D
Control is performed in consideration of D5 and D6. In the examples shown in FIGS. 6 to 18, the second bit and the third bit of the field D0 are “0” and “0”, respectively, and FIGS.
Are "1" and "0", respectively.

The values of the 0th and 1st bits and the 4th to 7th bits of the field D0 are fixed to "0", and all the bits of the field D1 are fixed to "0". The field or bit fixed to “0” in this way can be used as a spare when further control parameters are required in the future, and supports the further versatility of the remote control device 1. . The meaning of these bits is because it is sufficient to rewrite the ROM 103 of the remote control device 1.

The field D2 defines a louver pattern. The 0th bit defines the direction of the swing operation, that is, which direction from the swing start position at the beginning of the swing. For example, when the start position is P2, “down” indicates a control in which the position advances from P2 to P3 to P4, and “up” indicates a control in which the position advances from P2 to P1 to P0. The first bit defines a swing pattern, that is, whether or not a reciprocation. In the examples shown in FIGS. 6 to 18, the 0th bit and the 1st bit of the field D2 are "0" and "0", respectively, and the same applies to the examples shown in FIGS.

The second and third bits of the field D2 define the number of swing stages, and the fourth to sixth bits define the swing start position. For example, if the swing start position is P0 and the number of swing steps is 5, the positions P0 to P4 are set. If the swing start position is P1 and the number of swing steps is 3, the position P is set.
It is determined that each of 1 to P3 can be set. FIG.
In the example shown in FIG. 18 to FIG. 18, the second to sixth bits of the field D2 are “1”, “1”, “1”, “1”, respectively.
"0", "0", "0", and in the examples shown in FIGS. 19 to 28, "1", "1", "0", "1", "0", respectively.
“0” and “0” (in each case, the fourth to sixth bits are “1”, “0”, “1”, “0” “1”
"1", "1", "1", "1" are also possible). The seventh bit of the field is undefined and is ignored by the central processing unit 102.

The field D3 defines the wind direction of the first object. The 0th and 1st bits define a wind direction skip width, and define how many steps the wind direction moves between positions of a settable number of steps. The second bit defines the wind direction change direction. That is, the movement of the wind direction position is clockwise (X coordinate decrease)
Or counterclockwise (X-coordinate increase). If the skip width is set to 0 in the 0th and 1st bits, the wind direction does not move in the X coordinate direction, so the 2nd bit has no meaning. The third to sixth bits define the wind direction start position. The seventh bit is the 0th bit when the swing operation starts.
Stipulates whether to keep the previous display (fixed position) without following the sixth bit. In the examples shown in FIGS. 6 to 18, the 0th to 6th bits of the field D3 are "1", "0", "0", "0", "0", "0", and "0", respectively. In the example shown in FIG. 28, “0” “0” “Don't Care” “1” “0” “0” “0”
It is.

The field D4 defines the air volume of the first object. The 0th to 3rd bits define whether or not to change in the air volume change direction defined by the 4th bit at the start of the swing. “Go” means that the Y coordinate changes, and “stop” means that it does not change. The fourth bit is the position Pi (i =
The direction when moving between 〇 to 4) is defined. increase,
Any decrease refers to an increase or decrease in the Y coordinate. The fifth and sixth bits are the air volume start position, that is, the air volume at the swing start position (Y coordinate in the air direction / air volume display unit 104a).
Is specified. The seventh bit specifies whether or not to keep the previous display (position fixed) without following the 0th to 6th bits when the swing operation starts. In the examples shown in FIGS. 6 to 18, the 0th to 6th bits of the field D4 are "0", "0", "0", "0", and "Don't Car".
e ”“ 1 ”“ 1 ”, and in the examples shown in FIGS. 19 to 28,“ Don't Care ”“ 1 ”“ 1 ”“ 1 ”
"1""1""1".

The fields D5 and D6 define the wind direction and the air volume of the second object, and the contents thereof are described in the fields D3 and D6.
Same as D4. Since the second object does not exist in the examples shown in FIGS. 6 to 18, the fields D5 and D5 are determined based on the second and third bits of the field D0.
6 is ignored. In the examples shown in FIGS. 19 to 28, the 0th to 6th bits of the field D5 are “0”, “0”, “Don't Care”, “1”, “0”, “1”, and “0”.
And the 0th to 6th bits of the field D6 are "Don't Care""1""1""1""0"
“0” and “0”.

In the above example, the control of the wind direction and the air volume has been described, but it is obvious that the control can be applied to the temperature setting. That is, information about the temperature range that can be set in the indoor unit 3b is transmitted to the remote control device 1 in advance. The remote control device 1 displays the temperature range on the display unit 104. Operate the temperature control switch 106c to increase the temperature of the indoor unit 3b.
The operator can easily understand that even if the user tries to control the temperature, the setting that exceeds the upper limit of the temperature range that can be set in the indoor unit 3b cannot be easily understood by the operator, and the remote control device 1 controls to ignore the setting. By doing so, there is no need to manufacture a remote control device for each model.

[0042]

As described above, according to the remote controller for an air conditioner according to the present invention, it can be commonly applied to air conditioners having different settable wind direction and air volume, so that the remote controller for each model can be used. Need not be manufactured, and the cost reduction can be achieved by improving the mass production effect. This saves a great deal of effort in managing the remote control device, and also avoids the need to redesign the wind direction and air volume display for newly developed remote control devices in the future. .
