Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a control device for an air conditioner, and in particular, it changes the set temperature and humidity depending on the work intensity of the occupants of the air-conditioned room.

Conventionally, this type of control device has a temperature controller that can be manually set, and the temperature set by the temperature controller has a temperature range of ±1 to
There was a switch to raise or lower the temperature by about 2 degrees Celsius. However, this switch has "high" and "low"
etc., so the function was merely to fine-tune the set temperature.

Furthermore, there is no particular basis for setting the temperature of the temperature regulator, and it is often set in advance and fixed, and the occupants in the room rarely adjust it frequently. Therefore, the room may be excessively cooled or heated, resulting in unnecessary consumption of electricity.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks by allowing the occupants to select a comfortable temperature and humidity based on the work intensity that can be easily determined.

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

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an indoor unit of a separate air conditioner exclusively for cooling, which is provided with an intake grill 2 and an outlet grill 3, and is also equipped with a slide-type temperature controller 4 that can be manually set. Indoor unit 1
An operation panel 6 is connected through a cord 5, and the operation panel 6 is provided with an operation switch 7, work intensity switches 8, 9, and 10 for selecting work intensity, and a timer 11. Next, in FIG. 2, the work intensity switch 8 shows "sleep", the switch 9 shows "sitting still", and the switch 10 shows "work".

Next, the operation of the present invention with the above configuration will be explained. First, the person in the room sets the temperature controller 4 in advance.
Next, if the person in the room is sitting in a chair, the work intensity switch 9 is set to ``sitting still'', and the operation switch 7 starts cooling. Thereafter, when the room temperature stabilizes to a nearly constant level, if the occupants are comfortable, it is fine to leave it as it is, but if it is too cold or too hot, the temperature controller 4 should be adjusted. If you do this every time you drive, the temperature regulator 4 will be fixed at a suitable temperature, and there will be no need to adjust it every time you drive. Therefore, the only thing that is checked each time the machine is operated is the work intensity of the person in the room, and this can be easily determined regardless of the senses of the person in the room. If you want to transition from a sitting state to a sleeping state, by pressing the work intensity switch 8, the temperature will rise by 1 degree Celsius relative to the temperature set by the temperature controller 4, providing comfortable cooling even during sleep. At the same time, it saves energy. If the work intensity changes from sitting still to gymnastics, heavy lifting, etc., by pressing the work intensity switch 10,
The indoor temperature setting is lowered by 2 degrees Celsius, making it comfortable even during intense work. The reason why the temperature was lowered by 2 degrees Celsius is that the difference in the amount of heat generated by the human body between sitting still and working hard is greater than the difference between sleeping and sitting still.

In addition, in this example, as mentioned above, the range of change in the set temperature is 1 degree Celsius increase and 2 degrees Celsius increase compared to the static sitting position.
This is because the display on the work intensity switch 9 was "sitting still". That is, if the display of work intensity switches 8, 9, and 10 are "sitting still", "medium work", and "heavy work", then "medium work" is indicated.
It is also possible to raise or lower the temperature by ±2 degrees Celsius.

Further, in this embodiment, only the temperature was controlled, but the humidity may also be controlled by the work intensity switches 8, 9, and 10. Furthermore, it is not limited to a cooling device, but may also be a heating device.

As described above, according to the present invention, there is provided a temperature or humidity controller that can vary the temperature or humidity of an air-conditioned room to an arbitrary setting value, and a temperature or humidity controller that can adjust the temperature or humidity of the air-conditioned room to a desired value depending on the work intensity of the people in the air-conditioned room. Since it is equipped with a work intensity switch that changes the settings of the humidity controller, it not only provides comfortable air conditioning according to the work intensity, but also has a great practical effect of saving energy. To explain this in more detail,
The temperature or humidity in the room is set to a value that is almost comfortable for the occupants, but this is the optimal value for a certain working condition (for example, sitting still). but,
The amount of heat generated by the human body (including sweating) changes depending on the intensity of work, and the optimal indoor temperature or humidity changes accordingly. By selecting a work intensity switch that can be easily determined without depending on the senses of the people in the room, it is possible to easily maintain the optimum indoor temperature and humidity, which improves comfort and
And, it has an energy saving effect.
