종래 기술에서는 공기조화기의 초기 설치시 사람의 위치에 상관없이 공기조화기 자체의 고정된 루버동작 영역으로만 풍향이 조절되게 설치하였다.In the prior art, when the air conditioner is initially installed, the wind direction is controlled to be adjusted only to a fixed louver operating area of the air conditioner itself regardless of the position of the person.

이러한 종래기술의 구성은 제1도에 도시한 바와 같이 운전자에 의해 공기조화기를 가동하기 위해 리모콘등을 사용한 송신부(1)와, 이 송신부(1)에서 출력된 공기조화기의 가동신호를 수신하는 수신부(2)와, 상기 수신부(2)로부터 가동신호를 받아 적외선센서(4) 및 스텝모터(5)의 동작을 제어하는 중앙처리장치(3)와, 소정감지영역에 위치한 인체의 활동량수를 검출하는 적외선센서(4)와, 좌우루버(Louver)를 구동시키는 스텝모터(5)로 구성되어 있다.The configuration of the prior art, as shown in FIG. 1, is to receive the operation signal of the transmitter 1 using the remote controller or the like and the air conditioner output from the transmitter 1 to operate the air conditioner by the driver. A receiving unit 2, a central processing unit 3 for receiving an operation signal from the receiving unit 2, and controlling the operation of the infrared sensor 4 and the step motor 5; It consists of the infrared sensor 4 which detects, and the step motor 5 which drives a left-right louver.

상기한 적외선센서(4)는 제2도에 도시한 바와 같이 제 1센서(4a) 및 제 2센서(4b)를 어레이(Array)시켜 상기 센서(4a, 4b)가 감지할 수 있는 A, B, C 영역의 사용자 위치를 검출하는데, 도면에서x는 제 1센서(4a)의 감지가능여역, y는 제 2센서(4b)의 감지가능영역을 각각 나타낸다.As shown in FIG. 2, the infrared sensor 4 is an array of first and second sensors 4a and 4b, which can be detected by the sensors 4a and 4b. In the drawing, x denotes a user position of the first sensor 4a, and y denotes a detectable region of the first sensor 4a.

상기 구성에 의한 종래기술의 동작은 송신부(1)에 의해 가동신호입력후 어떤 특정모드의 신호(예 : 인공지능모드)가송신되면 수신부(2)에 의해 신호가 수신되어, 중앙처리장치(3)에 의해 좌우루버를 구동시키기 위한 스텝모터(5)를 동작시켜 제 3도에서와 같이 공기조화기(7)의 송풍영역인 A,B,C 영역을 제어하게 된다.According to the above-described operation of the prior art, when a signal of a specific mode (for example, an artificial intelligence mode) is transmitted by the transmitting unit 1 after inputting the operation signal, the signal is received by the receiving unit 2, and the central processing unit 3 The step motor 5 for driving the left and right louvers is operated to control the A, B and C areas of the air conditioner 7 as shown in FIG.

이때, 인체 위치의 검지는 상기 적외선센서(4)가 제 4도에 도시한 파형과 같이 평상시는 인체의 활동량수를 감지하면 입력되는 펄스의 상태가 하이(High)상태에서 로우(Low)상태로 변화하는데, 이때 로우상태의 활동량수를 비교판단하여 누적된 활동량수의 차와 합을 비교함으로써 좌우 루버의 동작영역을 판단하여 각 동작영역의 풍향을 제어한다.At this time, the detection of the position of the human body, when the infrared sensor 4 detects the activity amount of the human body as usual, as shown in the waveform shown in FIG. 4, the state of the input pulse goes from the high state to the low state. In this case, by comparing the activity amount in the low state and comparing the sum and the difference of the accumulated activity amount to determine the operation area of the left and right louvers to control the wind direction of each operation area.

이와같은 종래기술은 공기조화기의 좌우루버구동 제어시 제품이 설치되어지는 조건과는 무관하게 상기 적외선센서(4)에 의해 감지된 활동량수를 비교하여 전영역(A+B+C 영역)을 제어하게 되므로, 제품설치 이후 사용자가 위치할 수 없는 사각지역을 불필요하게 스위(swing)하여 송풍을 해주므로써 송풍을 받고자하는 사람은 보다 적게 바람을 쐬는 문제점이 있었다.This prior art compares the amount of activity detected by the infrared sensor 4 to control the entire area (A + B + C area) regardless of the conditions in which the product is installed when controlling the left and right louver driving of the air conditioner. Since it is controlled, since the user unnecessarily swipes the blind spot where the user cannot be located after the product is installed and blows, the person who wants to receive the air blows less air.

본 발명은 상기 문제점을 해결하기 위해 사용자가 존재할 수 없는 사각지역을 판단하여 실내에 있는 사람의 위치로 루버의 동작영역을 설정하기 위한 공기조화기의 루버동작영역 설정방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.An object of the present invention is to provide a method for setting a louver operating area of an air conditioner for determining the blind area where a user cannot exist to set the operating area of the louver to a position of a person in the room to solve the above problems. .

본 발명 방법을 수행하는데 관련된 공기 조화기의 구성은 공기조화기에 리코콘을 사용하여 신호를 송신하는 송신부(1)와, 상기 송신된 신호를 수신하는 수신부(2)와, 상기 신호에 따라 부하를 구동시키는 중앙처리장치(3)와, 좌우루버를 구동시키는 스텝모터(5)와, 사용자의 활동량을 체크하여 루버의 스윙영역을 결정하여 주는 적외선센서(6)로 구성되어 있다.The configuration of the air conditioner related to carrying out the method of the present invention includes a transmitter 1 for transmitting a signal to the air conditioner using a reconcon, a receiver 2 for receiving the transmitted signal, and a load according to the signal. A central processing unit 3 for driving, a step motor 5 for driving the left and right louvers, and an infrared sensor 6 for determining the swing area of the louver by checking the amount of activity of the user.

상기에서 본 발명에 사용된 적외선센서(6)는 제6도에 도시한 바와 같이 센서모듈(Module) 내부에 세영역(A,B,C 영역(제7도 참조))을 동시에 감지할 수 있는 1개의 칩이 있고 상기 영역구분의 정확성을 위해 4개의 가이드(guide)(5a,5b,5c,5d)가 장착된다.As shown in FIG. 6, the infrared sensor 6 used in the present invention may simultaneously detect three regions A, B, and C (see FIG. 7) inside the sensor module. There is one chip and four guides 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d are mounted for accuracy of the area division.

상기 구성에 의한 본 발명의 동작은 송신부(1)에 의해 자동풍향 신호가 송신되면 수신부(2)에 의해 수신된 신호가 중앙처리장치(3)에 입력되어 좌우루버를 구동시키기 위한 스텝모터(5)를 구동시킨다.According to the operation of the present invention by the above configuration, when the automatic wind direction signal is transmitted by the transmitter 1, the signal received by the receiver 2 is input to the central processing unit 3 to drive the step motor 5 for driving the left and right louvers. ).

상기 동작에 의한 공기조화기의 루버동작영역 설정을 위한 흐름을 제8도를 참조하여 설명하면, 운전개시후 사용자의 자동풍향 선택으로 루버가 동작되는 영역의 활동량수를 감지하여 누적하는 제 1과정과, 상기 제 1과정의 루버가 동작되는 영역의 활동량수 누적후 소정시간이 경과할 경우 사각영역을 판단하는 제 2과정과, 상기 제 2과정의 사각영역 이외의 영역에서 루버가 동작되는 영역을 설정하는 제 3과정으로 이루어진다.The flow for setting the louver operating area of the air conditioner according to the above operation will be described with reference to FIG. 8. The first process of detecting and accumulating the active quantity of the area in which the louver is operated by the user's automatic wind direction selection after starting operation is performed. And a second process of determining a blind area when a predetermined time elapses after accumulating the activity quantity of the region where the louver is operated in the first process, and an area where the louver is operated in an area other than the blind area of the second process. The third step is to set.

상기 과정들을 좀더 상세히 설명하기 위해 단계별로 설명하면, 먼저 공기조화기가 운전중일경우(S1) 사용자에 의한 자동풍향신호가 선택되면(S2) 소정시간(TΦ), 경과후 (S3), 좌우루버 동작영역(A,B,C 영역)에서의 활동량수가 로우상태(즉 0)인가를 확인하여 (S4,S6,S8) 로우상태이면 인체의 활동량수를 누적한다.(즉, A→A+1, B→B+1, C→C+1)(S5,S7,S9)In order to explain the above steps in more detail, first, when the air conditioner is in operation (S1), when the automatic wind signal is selected by the user (S2), a predetermined time (TΦ), after (S3), left and right louver operation If the amount of activity in the areas A, B, and C is low (i.e., zero), and if the state is low (S4, S6, S8), the active amount of the human body is accumulated (i.e., A → A + 1, B → B + 1, C → C + 1) (S5, S7, S9)

상기 활동량수 누적후 소정기간(T1)이 경과될 경우(S10) 어느하나의 사각예상지역(예:C영역)에서 감지된 인체의 활동량수(C)가 일정기준횟수(Q)보다 작은가를 비교하여(S11) 기준 횟수보다 작을 경우에는 다시 상기 C영역의 활동량 수를 누적하여(즉, H→H+1)(S12) 그 누적 횟수(H)가 기준횟수(y) 이상이되면(S13) 상기 C영역에는 사용자가 위치하지 않는 사각영역으로 판단하고서 상기 누적횟수(H)를 세트시킨다(S14).When a predetermined period (T1) has elapsed after accumulating the activity quantity (S10), it is compared whether the activity quantity (C) of the human body detected in any blind spot (for example, C region) is smaller than a predetermined reference number (Q). If (S11) is smaller than the reference number of times, the number of activities of the C region is accumulated again (that is, H → H + 1) (S12) and if the cumulative number (H) is greater than or equal to the reference number (y) (S13) In the area C, it is determined that the user is not in a rectangular area, and the cumulative number H is set (S14).

상기와 같이 사각 영역이 판단될 경우 나머지 A,B 영역만을 좌우루버의 스위가능한 영역으로 설정하여 A영역 및 B영역의 활동량수(A,B)가 최저활동량수(L)보다 둘다 작거나 (S15, S16) 혹은 최고 활동량수(M)보다 둘다 큰경우에는 (S18,S19) A+B 영역을 좌우루버가 스윙하고(S17), 상기 A영역의 활동량수(A)와 상기 B영역의 활동량수(B)의 차이가 'Φ'보다 큰가를 판단하여(S20) 그차이가 활동량 차이 판단기준수(Q')보다 클 경우에(S22), 상기 A영역의 활동량수(A)가 크면 A영역을 좌우루버가 스윙하고(S23) 아니면 A+B영역을 좌우루버가 스윙하며, 역으로 상기 B영역의 활동량수가 크면 B영역을 좌우루버가 스윙하고(S24) 아니면 A+B 영역을 좌우루버가 스윙한다.When the blind area is determined as described above, only the remaining areas A and B are set as switchable areas of the left and right louvers so that the number of activities A and B of the areas A and B are both smaller than the minimum number of activities L or not (S15). (S16) or when both of the maximum activity amount (M) are greater than (S18, S19), the left and right louvers swing in the A + B area (S17), and the activity amount in the A area (A) and the activity amount in the B area It is determined whether the difference of (B) is greater than 'Φ' (S20) and when the difference is larger than the activity difference difference criterion number (Q ') (S22), if the number of activities A in the area A is large, area A The left and right louvers swing (S23) or the A + B area swings the left and right louvers. On the contrary, if the amount of activity of the B area is large, the left and right louvers swing the B area (S24). Swing

이상과 같이 본 발명은 공기조화기가 설치된 이후에 사람이 위치하지 않는 사각영역(예를들면, '벽면' ···)을 운전중에 판단하여 좌우풍향루버의 스윙영역을 자동설정하여 운전하므로써 재실자에게 최상의 쾌적성을 제공할 수 있는 효과가 있다.As described above, according to the present invention, after the air conditioner is installed, the blind area (for example, the 'wall') is not determined by the user during operation and automatically sets the swing area of the left and right wind louvers to operate. There is an effect that can provide the best comfort.
