Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention provides a control section, a receiving section, and a transmitting section (operating section).
This relates to a wireless remote control device having a remote controller, in which the input from the transmitter is input to the interrupt terminal of the microcomputer of the controller, and other input/output terminals can be used for manual input and display output. It provides an operating device.

Conventionally, in this type of remote control device, as shown in FIG. 1, a signal from a remote controller 1 is inputted to a microcomputer 3 via a receiving section 2, and an output section 4 is operated in response to this input signal. in this case,
During inspection, service, etc., the microcomputer 3 cannot be operated unless the remote control 1 is moved to input an input signal to the microcomputer 3. Conventionally, during this inspection and service, the remote control 1 and microcomputer 3 are separated, which makes the work inconvenient, and since the signal is in a pulsed state, it is difficult to judge whether or not the input is normal. It was hot.

The present invention eliminates the drawbacks of the remote control device described above, and provides a microcomputer 3 with an interrupt input terminal for receiving input signals from the remote controller 1, as well as a manual input terminal for service, and an output for displaying the input status, etc. The purpose of this is to simplify and improve the efficiency of checking the operation of the remote control device by providing terminals and appropriately using these input and output terminals during inspections, services, etc.

Hereinafter, a case where an embodiment of the present invention is applied to an air conditioner will be described with reference to FIG. 2. Here, since the remote control 1, receiving section 2, microcomputer 3, and output section 4 are the same as those shown in FIG. 1, their explanation will be omitted.

In the same figure, I ₁ in the microcomputer 3
~ _I8 is an input terminal to which the protective resistor section 5 is connected. Further, O ₁ to _{O 3} are output terminals, to which the protective resistor section 6 is also connected. Reference numeral 7 is a manual input device which can be connected to the microcomputer 3 as required, and input can be made to each input terminal through each switch 7a, 7b, . . . 7h of the manual input device 7. The microcomputer 3 has a built-in function for identifying the correspondence between each input terminal and the switches 7a, 7b, . . . , 7h of the remote controller 1. 8 is a display circuit which, like the manual input device 7, can be connected as necessary, and which corresponds to the input of the manual input device 7.
The light emitting elements 8a to 8c are turned on by setting the output terminals _O1 to _O3 to high level signals. Here, the number of input/output terminals _I1 to _I8 of the microcomputer 3 may be provided as required.

In the above configuration, in the case of an air conditioner, the switches for the remote control 1, which is a remote control device, include a run/stop switch, a fan motor speed change switch,
A timer time setting switch or the like may be considered, but by using switches 7a, 7b...7h of the manual input device 7 as switches corresponding to these switches, the signal can be input manually. You can check the input status and timer remaining time display.

Therefore, there is no need to operate the remote controller 1 every time the inspection work is performed, making the work easier.

As is clear from the above embodiments, a remote control device equipped with a service input/output terminal of the present invention constitutes a wireless remote control device by a receiving section, a control section, and a transmitting section, and the control section constitutes a wireless remote control device. An interrupt input terminal of the microcomputer to be used is provided with an input terminal for inputting the signal from the transmitter and a service manual input terminal for manually inputting the signal to this input terminal,
It is also equipped with an output terminal for displaying the input status of the microcomputer, and by providing a manual input terminal and an output terminal for display of the microcomputer, work is simplified and made more efficient during inspections and services. Moreover, it has various advantages, such as the ability to connect as many display circuits as necessary to increase the versatility of the microcomputer, rather than making each microcomputer individual depending on whether or not it has a display circuit.
