공기조화기는 쾌적한 실내환경을 조성하기위하여 실내에 보내는 공기의 온도, 습도, 기류 및 청결도를 조정하는 장치이다.An air conditioner is a device that controls the temperature, humidity, airflow, and cleanliness of air sent to the room to create a pleasant indoor environment.

제4도는 종래의 공기조화기의 사시도이다. 도시된 바와 같이, 공기조화기는 공기흡입구(53) 및 공기토출구(55)가 형성된 본체케이싱(51)과, 본체케이싱(51)내에 수용되어 공기흡입구(53)를 통하여 유입된 공기가 열교환되는 열교환기(미도시)와, 열교환기에 인접설치되어 열교환된 공기를 공기토출구(55)를 통하여 실내에 제공하는 송풍팬(미도시)을 가진다.4 is a perspective view of a conventional air conditioner. As shown, the air conditioner is a heat exchanger in which a main body casing 51 having an air inlet 53 and an air outlet 55 is formed, and the air received in the body casing 51 and introduced into the air inlet 53 exchanges heat. Machine (not shown) and a blowing fan (not shown) provided adjacent to the heat exchanger to provide heat exchanged air to the room through the air discharge port 55.

본체케이싱(51)의 공기토출구(55)영역에는 토출되는 공기의 풍향을 조절할 수 있도록 복수의 수직풍향조절부재(57) 및 수평풍향조절부재(59)가 각각 설치되어 있다. 수평풍향조절부재(59)는 공기토출구(55)의 좌우방향을 따라 배치된 회동축을 중심으로 상하회동가능하도록 설치되며, 수직풍향조절부재(57)는 공기토출구(55)의 상하방향을 따라 배치된 회동축을 중심으로 좌우회동가능하도록 설치되어 있다.A plurality of vertical wind direction control members 57 and horizontal wind direction control members 59 are respectively installed in the air discharge port 55 of the main body casing 51 so as to control the wind direction of the discharged air.

It is installed so that it can rotate left and right about the arranged rotational axis.

본체케이싱(51)의 전면 공기흡입구(53)의 상측영역에는 기기의 운전조작을 위한 조작부(61)가 마련되어 있으며, 조작부(61)에는 운전모드 등을 선택할 수 있도록 복수의 조작버튼(63)이 구비되어 있다.The upper part of the front air inlet 53 of the main body casing 51 is provided with an operation unit 61 for operating the device, and the operation unit 61 has a plurality of operation buttons 63 to select an operation mode or the like.

제2도는 제1도의 공기조화기의 요부제어블럭도이다. 도시된 바와 같이, 마이컴(21)에는 외부로부터의 전원을 각 전기부품에 인가하는 전원부(23)와, 수직풍향조절부재(7)의 회동각위치를 감지하는 센서부(25)가 부속되어 있다. 또한, 마이컴(21)에는 운전조작을 위한 조작부(11)와, 공기토출구(5)를 통하여 토출되는 공기의 풍향을 표시하는 풍향표시부(19) 및 수직풍향조절부재(7)를 회동구동시키는 스텝핑모터(27)가 각각 부속되어 있다.FIG. 2 is a block diagram of main parts of the air conditioner of FIG. As shown, the microcomputer 21 is provided with a power supply unit 23 for applying power from the outside to each electric component, and a sensor unit 25 for detecting the rotation angle position of the vertical wind direction control member 7. . In addition, the microcomputer 21 has stepping for rotating the operation unit 11 for driving operation, the wind direction display unit 19 and the vertical wind direction control member 7 which display the wind direction of the air discharged through the air discharge port 5. Each motor 27 is attached.

스텝핑모터(27)는 마이컴(21)으로부터 소정의 펄스가 인가되면 소정의 각도범위를 일정각도씩 회전하게 된다. 본 실시예의 경우 스텝핑모터(27)는, 0°부터 90°까지의 각도범위를 10°씩 9단계로 이동가능하도록 구성되어 있고, 마이컴(21)은 스텝핑모터(27)를 소정 시간마다 한번씩 구동하도록 스텝핑모터(27)의 사양에 맞는 펄스를 발생시킨다.The stepping motor 27 rotates the predetermined angle range by a predetermined angle when a predetermined pulse is applied from the microcomputer 21. In the present embodiment, the stepping motor 27 is configured to move the angular range from 0 ° to 90 ° in 9 steps by 10 °, and the microcomputer 21 drives the stepping motor 27 once every predetermined time. To generate a pulse that meets the specification of the stepping motor (27).

이러한 구성에 의하여, 조작부(11)의 운전키(13)에 의해 운전모드가 선택되면 본체케이싱(1)내의 송풍팬이 구동되고 열교환기에 의해 열교환된 공기가 공기토출구(5)를 통하여 실내로 제공되게 된다. 자동풍향조절기능이 선택되지 않은 경우, 센서부(25)는 수직풍향조절부재(7)의 정지각위치를 검출하고, 마이컴(21)은 센서부(25)의 검출신호에 기초하여 수직풍향조절부재(7)의 정지각위치에 대응된 LED램프가 점등되도록 풍향표시부(19)를 제어하게 된다.By such a configuration, when the operation mode is selected by the operation key 13 of the operation unit 11, the blowing fan in the main body casing 1 is driven, and the air heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger is provided to the room through the air discharge port 5. Will be.

LED램프(20d)가 점등(S6)되었으면 다시 수직풍향조절부재(7)의 회동각 위치가 10°만큼 변환하였는가를 판별하고(S7), 변환 되었으면 LED램프(20d)를 소등하고(S9). LED램프(20c)를 점등하며(S10), 변환되지 않았으면 자동풍향조절스위치(15)의 켜짐여부를 확인한다(S8).3 is a flowchart illustrating an automatic wind direction display method of an air conditioner according to the present invention. As illustrated, when the automatic wind direction control switch 15 is turned on (S1), the microcomputer 21 controls the wind direction display unit 19 so that the LED lamp 20e is turned on (S2). When the predetermined time is inflated, the sensor unit 25 detects the rotation angle position of the vertical wind direction adjusting member 7, and when the detected rotation angle position is converted by 10 ° (S3), the microcomputer 21 displays the wind direction display unit 19. ), The LED lamp 20e is turned off (S5), and the LED lamp 20d is turned on (S6). If the detected rotation angle position is not 10 degrees, check whether the automatic wind direction control switch 15 is turned on (S4). When the LED lamp 20d is turned on (S6), it is again determined whether the rotation angle position of the vertical wind direction adjusting member 7 has been converted by 10 ° (S7), and when it is converted, the LED lamp 20d is turned off (S9). The LED lamp 20c is turned on (S10), and if not converted, the automatic wind direction control switch 15 is turned on (S8).

이런 과정에 따라 마이컴(21)은 스텝핑모터(27)를 제어하여 수직풍향조절부재(7)를 회동시키고, 수직풍향조절부재(7)의 회동각위치의 10°변환 여부를 판별(S3, S7,S17,S13)한다. 판별결과 회동각위치가 10°변환 되었으면 다수의 LED램프를 순차적으로 점멸시키는 동작을 반복하고(S2,S5,S6,S9,S10,S11,S12), 변환되지 않았으면 자동풍향조절스위치(15)의 ON상태를 확인하는 과정(S4, S8, S18, S14)을 반복한다. 이때, 자동풍향조절스위치(15)가 ON상태에 있으면 다시 각각 LED램프를 점등하고(S2, S6, S10,S12), OFF상태에 있으면 수작풍향조절부재(7)는 중앙부을 향하도록 회동시키고(S15), 중앙영역에 배치된 LED램프(20e)를 점등시킴과 동시에 나머지 LED램프는 소등시킨다(S16).According to this process, the microcomputer 21 controls the stepping motor 27 to rotate the vertical wind direction control member 7, and determines whether the rotation angle position of the vertical wind direction control member 7 is changed by 10 ° (S3 and S7). S17, S13). As a result of the determination, if the rotation angle position is changed by 10 °, the operation of repeatedly flashing a plurality of LED lamps is repeated (S2, S5, S6, S9, S10, S11, S12), and if it is not converted, the automatic wind direction control switch 15 Repeat the process of checking the ON state of (S4, S8, S18, S14). At this time, when the automatic wind direction control switch 15 is in the ON state, the LED lamps are turned on again (S2, S6, S10, S12), and in the OFF state, the manual wind direction control member 7 is rotated to face the center portion (S15). At the same time, the LED lamp 20e disposed in the center area is turned on and the remaining LED lamps are turned off (S16).

전술 및 도시한 실시예에서는, 수직풍향조절부재를 자동으로 회동구동시킬 수 있도록 스텝핑모터를 구성하고, 수직풍향조절부재의 회동각위치에 대응하여 다수의 LED램프를 배치하여, 수직풍향조절부재의 회동각위치에 대응하여 LED램프를 점멸하도록 함으로써, 토출되는 풍향을 표시하도록 구성하여 설명하고 있지만, 수평풍향조절부재를 회동구동시키는 스텝핑모터를 마련하고 수평풍향조절부재의 회동각위치에 대응하여 다수의 LED램프를 배치하고 수평풍향조절부재의 회동각위치에 대응하여 LED램프를 점멸하도록 구성할 수 있음은 물론이다.In the above-described and illustrated embodiments, the stepping motor is configured to automatically rotate the vertical wind direction control member, and a plurality of LED lamps are disposed corresponding to the rotation angle of the vertical wind direction control member, Although the configuration is described to display the discharged wind direction by causing the LED lamp to flash in correspondence with the rotation angle position, a stepping motor for rotating the horizontal wind direction control member is provided, and a large number is provided in response to the rotation angle position of the horizontal wind direction control member. Of course, it is possible to arrange the LED lamp and to blink the LED lamp corresponding to the rotation angle position of the horizontal wind direction control member.

이상 설명한 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따르면, 비교적 먼거리에서도 토출되는 공기의 풍향을 용이하게 식별할 수 있는 공기조화기 및 공기조화기의 풍향표시방법이 제공된다.As described above, according to the present invention, an air conditioner and a wind direction display method of the air conditioner are provided which can easily identify the wind direction of the air discharged even at a relatively long distance.
