본 발명은 실내온도에 따라 공기조화기의 설정온도 및 설정풍량을 자동으로 조절하는 방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 공기조화기의 수동운전시 사용자가 실내온도에 따라 가장 많이 설정하는 설정온도 및 설정풍량을 공기조화기의 자동운전시 설정온도 및 설정풍량으로 자동조절하여 사용자 개개인의 다양한 요구를 만족시키기 위한 공기조화기의 학습에 의한 설정온도 및 설정풍량 자동조절방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method for automatically adjusting the set temperature and the set air volume of the air conditioner according to the room temperature, and in particular, the set temperature and the set air volume that the user sets the most according to the room temperature during the manual operation of the air conditioner The present invention relates to a method for automatically adjusting a set temperature and a set amount of air by learning an air conditioner to satisfy various needs of individual users by automatically adjusting the set temperature and set amount of air at the time of automatic operation of the air conditioner.

종래의 공기조화기에서는 설정온도 및 설정풍량을 사용자가 매번 직접 입력했다. 또는 자동조절기능이 있는 공기조화기의 경우에는 실내온도에 따라 정해져 있는 온도 및 풍량을 설정온도 및 설정풍량으로 자동설정하였다. 예를들어, 실내온도 : X℃일때, 설정온도 : 23℃, 설정풍량 : 강풍으로 저장되어 있고 자동조절기능을 수행하게 되면, 실내온도가 X℃에서는 설정온도 : 23℃, 설정풍량 : 강풍으로 자동설정하므로, 사용자가 매번 설정온도 및 설정풍량을 조절해야 하는 불편함을 해소하였다.In a conventional air conditioner, a user directly inputs a set temperature and a set air volume each time. Alternatively, in the case of an air conditioner with an automatic control function, the temperature and air flow rate determined according to the room temperature are automatically set to the set temperature and air flow rate. For example, if the room temperature: X ℃, set temperature: 23 ℃, set wind volume: strong wind is stored and the automatic adjustment function is performed, if the room temperature is X ℃ set temperature: 23 ℃, set wind volume: strong wind The automatic setting eliminates the inconvenience of the user having to adjust the set temperature and set air volume each time.

그러나, 이러한 종래 자동조절기능은 실내온도에 따라 다수의 일반적인 사용자를 만족시키기 위한 온도 및 풍량을 설정온도 및 설정풍량으로 조절하는 것으로, 사용자 개개인의 다양한 요구를 만족시키지 못하는 문제점이 있었다.However, such a conventional automatic adjustment function is to adjust the temperature and the amount of air to set a set temperature and the set amount of air to satisfy a plurality of general users according to the room temperature, there is a problem that does not satisfy the various needs of individual users.

본 발명의 목적은 상기와 같은 종래의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로, 공기조화기의 수동운전시 사용자가 설정하는 설정온도 및 설정풍량을 실내온도에 따라 저장하여, 공기조화기의 자동운전시 실내온도에 따라 상기 저장된 온도 및 풍량을 설정온도 및 설정풍량으로 조절하여 사용자 개개인의 다양한 요구를 만족시키기 위한 공기조화기의 학습에 의한 설정온도 및 설정풍량 자동조절방법을 제공하는데 있다.An object of the present invention is to solve the conventional problems as described above, by storing the set temperature and the set air volume set by the user during the manual operation of the air conditioner according to the room temperature, the room temperature during the automatic operation of the air conditioner By adjusting the stored temperature and the amount of air according to the set temperature and the set amount of air according to the present invention to provide a method for automatically adjusting the set temperature and set air volume by learning the air conditioner to satisfy the various needs of the individual.

이하 본 발명의 기술적 구성을 첨부한 도면을 참조하여 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings the technical configuration of the present invention.

본 발명 공기조화기의 학습에 의한 설정온도 및 설정풍량 자동조절방법은, 공기조화기 수동운전인 경우 사용자에 의해 설정되는 설정온도 및 설정풍량을 실내온도에 따라 분류하여 각각의 기억공간에 저장하는 설정온도 및 설정풍량 저장단계(S10)와; 공기조화기 자동운전인 경우 실내온도에 해당되는 기억공간을 검색하여 가장 많이 저장된 온도데이타, 풍량데이타를 설정온도 및 설정풍량으로 조절하는 설정온도 및 설정풍량 조절단계(S20)로 구성되는 것을 기술적 구성상의 기술적 특징으로 한다.According to the present invention, a method of automatically adjusting a set temperature and a set air volume by learning of an air conditioner includes classifying a set temperature and a set air volume set by a user according to the indoor temperature in a manual operation of the air conditioner, and storing the set temperature and the set air volume in each storage space. A set temperature and set air volume storing step (S10); In the case of automatic operation of the air conditioner, the technical configuration includes a set temperature and a set air volume adjusting step (S20) of searching the storage space corresponding to the room temperature and adjusting the most stored temperature data and the air volume data to the set temperature and the set air volume. The technical features of the award.

또한, 상기 공기조화기 자동운전인 경우 자동운전이 실시된 초기인지 자동운전이 진행되는 중인지를 판단하고, 상기 판단결과 자동운전초기인 경우 자동운전초기를 해제하고, 상기 설정온도 및 설정풍량 조절단계(S20)를 수행하며, 상기 판단결과 자동운전중인 경우에는 실내온도에 해당되는 기억공간을 검색하여 가장 많이 저장된 풍량데이타를 설정풍량으로 조절하는 설정풍량 조절단계(S21)를 수행한다.In addition, in the case of the automatic operation of the air conditioner, it is determined whether the automatic operation is performed in the initial stage or the automatic operation is in progress. In operation S20, when the automatic operation is performed, the set air volume adjusting step S21 of searching the storage space corresponding to the room temperature and adjusting the most stored air volume data to the set air volume is performed.

이러한 본 발명 공기조화기의 학습에 의한 설정온도 및 설정풍량 자동조절방법은, 공기조화기가 운전중 수동운전인지 자동운전인지를 판단하여 상기 판단결과 수동운전인 경우에는 설정온도 및 설정풍량 저장단계(S10)를 수행한다.The method of automatically adjusting the set temperature and set air volume by learning the air conditioner of the present invention determines whether the air conditioner is a manual operation or an automatic operation during operation. S10) is performed.

상기 설정온도 및 설정풍량 저장단계(S10)에서는 수동운전중 사용자에 의해 설정되는 설정온도와 설정풍량을 실내온도에 따라 분류하여 각각의 기억공간에 저장한다. 예를들어 제1도에 나타낸 바와같이, 실내온도를 X℃ 이상인 경우, Y℃ 보다 높고 X℃ 보다 낮은 경우, Y℃ 이하인 경우로 나누고, 현재 실내온도가 X℃ 이상인 경우 X℃ 이상에 해당하는 기억공간, 즉 제2기억공간에 사용자에 의해 설정된 설정온도를 제5기억공간에 사용자에 의해 설정된 설정풍량을 저장한다.In the set temperature and set wind volume storing step (S10), the set temperature and the set wind volume set by the user during manual operation are classified according to the room temperature and stored in each storage space. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, when the room temperature is above X ° C., higher than Y ° C. and lower than X ° C., it is divided into below Y ° C., and when the present room temperature is above X ° C., The set temperature set by the user in the storage space, that is, the second memory space, and the set air volume set by the user in the fifth memory space.

그러면, 공기조화기를 수동운전할때 마다 실내온도에 따라 사용자가 설정하는 온도데이타들 및 풍량데이타들이 각 실내온도에 따라 분류된 기억공간에 저장된다.Then, whenever the air conditioner is manually operated, temperature data and air volume data set by the user according to the room temperature are stored in the storage space classified according to the room temperature.

한편, 상기 판단결과 자동운전인 경우에는 자동운전이 실시된 초기인 자동운전이 진행되는 중인지를 판단한다.On the other hand, in the case of the automatic operation as a result of the determination, it is determined whether the automatic operation which is the initial stage of the automatic operation is in progress.

상기 판단결과 자동운전이 실시된 초기상태인 자동운전초기의 경우에는, 자동운전초기상태를 해제한 다음, 설정온도 및 설정풍량 조절단계(S20)에서 실내온도에 해당되는 기억공간에서 온도데이타 및 풍량데이타를 검색하여 가장 많이 저장된 온도데이타와 풍량데이타를 설정온도 및 설정풍량으로 자동조절한다.As a result of the determination, in the case of the initial operation of the automatic operation which is the initial state in which the automatic operation is performed, the initial operation of the automatic operation is released, and then the temperature data and the air volume in the storage space corresponding to the room temperature in the set temperature and set air volume adjusting step (S20). Search the data and automatically adjust the most stored temperature data and air volume data to the set temperature and set air volume.

예를들어, 현재 실내온도가 Y℃ 보다 높고 X℃ 보다 낮은 경우 제2기억공간과 제5기억공간을 검색하고, 검색결과 온도데이타로 24℃가, 풍량데이타로 강풍이 가장 많이 저장되어 있으면, 24℃를 설정온도로, 강풍을 설정풍량으로 자동조절한다.For example, if the current room temperature is higher than Y ° C and lower than X ° C, the second memory space and the fifth memory space are searched, and if the search result shows that 24 ° C is the temperature data and the strongest wind is stored as the air volume data, Automatically adjusts the strong wind to the set temperature and 24 ℃ as the set temperature.

여기서 상기 실내온도에서 24℃와 강풍이 가장 많이 저장되어 있다는 것은 수동운전시 사용자가 상기 실내온도에서 설정온도로 24℃를, 설정풍량으로 강풍을 가장 많이 선택했다는 것이며, 상기 실내온도에서 24℃를 설정온도로, 강풍을 설정풍량으로 자동조절한다는 것은 상기 실내온도에서 사용자에게 가장 적합한 온도와 풍량을 설정온도와 설정풍량으로 조절한다고 말할 수 있다.Here, the most stored 24 ° C and strong wind at the room temperature means that the user selected 24 ° C as the set temperature and the strong wind as the set amount of air at the time of manual operation, and 24 ° C at the room temperature. Automatically adjusting the strong winds to the set temperature with the set temperature may be said to adjust the temperature and the air volume that are most suitable for the user at the indoor temperature to the set temperature and the set wind volume.

또한, 상기 판단결과 자동운전이 진행되는 중인 경우에는, 이미 설정온도가 조절되어 있는 상태이므로 현재 실내온도에 따라 사용자에게 적합한 풍량을 설정하면된다. 그러므로, 설정풍량 조절단계(S21)에서 현재 실내온도에 해당되는 기억공간을 검색하여 가장 많이 저장된 풍량데이타를 설정풍량으로 자동조절한다.In addition, when the automatic operation is in progress as a result of the determination, since the set temperature is already adjusted, the air volume suitable for the user may be set according to the current indoor temperature. Therefore, in the setting air volume control step (S21), the storage space corresponding to the current room temperature is searched to automatically adjust the most stored air volume data to the set air volume.

이상에서 살펴 본 바와 같이, 본 발명 공기조화기의 학습에 의한 설정온도 및 설정풍량 자동조절방법은, 공치조화기의 수동운전시 사용자가 실내온도에 따라 가장 많이 설정하는 설정온도 및 설정풍량을 공기조화기의 자동운전시 설정온도 및 설정풍량으로 자동조절하는 것으로, 사용자 개개인의 다양한 요구를 만족시킬 수 있는 유용한 것이다.As described above, the method for automatically adjusting the set temperature and set air volume by learning the air conditioner according to the present invention includes setting the air temperature and the set air volume that the user sets the most according to the room temperature during the manual operation of the air conditioner. It is useful to satisfy various needs of each user by automatically adjusting the set temperature and set air volume during the automatic operation of the unit.
