상기와 같이 구성된 냉난방겸용의 공기조화기에 있어서, 사용자가 리모콘이나 조작부(15)를 조작하여 운전/정지키(이하, 운전키라 한다)를 누른다음 원하는 운전모드(예를들면, 냉방)와 설정온도(Ts)를 입력하면, 실내팬모터(21)의 구동에 따라 실내팬(23)이 회전하면서 흡입구(3)를 통해 실내공기가 본체(1)내로 흡입된다.In the above-described air conditioning and air conditioner, the user operates the remote controller or the control unit 15 to press the operation / stop key (hereinafter referred to as the operation key), and then the desired operation mode (for example, cooling) and the set temperature. When Ts is input, the indoor fan 23 is sucked into the main body 1 through the suction port 3 while the indoor fan 23 rotates in response to the driving of the indoor fan motor 21.

상기 흡입구(3)를 통해 흡입된 실내공기의 온도(Tr;이하, 실내온도라 한다)와 설정온도(Ts)를 비교하여 실내온도(Tr)가 설정온도(Ts)보다 높은 경우 설정온도(Ts)와 실내온도(Tr)의 차에 따라 압축기의 운전주파수를 결정하여 압축기를 온시킨다.When the indoor temperature Tr is higher than the set temperature Ts by comparing the temperature Tr of the indoor air sucked through the suction port 3 with the set temperature Ts, the set temperature Ts. ) And the operation frequency of the compressor according to the difference between the room temperature (Tr) and turn on the compressor.

상기 압축기가 온되면, 냉매의 순환에 따라 실내열교환기(19)가 냉각되므로 흡입구(3)를 통해 본체(1)내로 흡입된 실내공기가 실내열교환기(19)를 통과하면서 실내열교환기(19)내에 흐르는 냉매의 증발잠열에 의해 냉풍으로 열교환되고, 실내열교환기(19)에서 열교환된 냉풍은 덕트부재(25)의 안내를 받아 상부로 안내된다.When the compressor is turned on, the indoor heat exchanger 19 is cooled according to the circulation of the refrigerant, so that the indoor air sucked into the main body 1 through the suction port 3 passes through the indoor heat exchanger 19 and the indoor heat exchanger 19. Heat exchanged into the cold air by the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant flowing in the c), the cold air heat exchanged in the indoor heat exchanger 19 is guided to the upper side under the guidance of the duct member (25).

이때, 토출구(7)의 후면일측에 설치된 덕트관(31)내의 송풍팬(35)이 오프 상태이므로 상부로 안내된 냉풍은 냉기유출구(27)를 통해 덕트관(31)으로 토출되지 않고, 토출구(7)를 통해 본체(1)가 설치된 실내공간으로 토출되면서 상하풍향날개(9) 및 좌우풍향날개(11)의 풍향각도에 따라 상하 또는 좌우로 풍향이 조절되어 냉방운전을 행한다.At this time, since the blowing fan 35 in the duct pipe 31 installed on one side of the discharge port 7 is turned off, the cold air guided upward is not discharged to the duct pipe 31 through the cold air outlet 27, and the discharge hole is discharged.

반면, 사용자가 덕트운전을 선택하면, 송풍팬모터(33)가 구동되어 송풍팬(35)이 회전하므로 실내열교환기(19)에서 열교환된 찬 공기가 냉기안내부(29)의 안내에 따라 냉기유출구(27)로 강제 유입되고, 상기 냉기유출구(27)로 유입된 냉기는 덕트관(31)을 통해 안내되어 본체(1)가 설치된 장소 이외의 다른 공조공간으로 토출되어 본체(1) 설치장소 이외의 다른 공조공간을 냉방시킨다.On the other hand, when the user selects the duct operation, the blower fan motor 33 is driven to rotate the blower fan 35 so that the cold air heat exchanged in the indoor heat exchanger 19 is cold air according to the guidance of the cold air guide unit 29. Forced flow into the outlet 27, the cold air flowed into the cold air outlet 27 is guided through the duct pipe 31 is discharged to the air conditioning space other than the place where the main body 1 is installed to place the main body (1) Cool other air conditioning spaces.

이하, 상기와 같이 구성된 공기조화기의 덕트운전장치 및 그 제어방법의 작용효과를 설명한다.Hereinafter, the operation and effect of the duct operation apparatus and control method of the air conditioner configured as described above will be described.

도 4는 본 발명에 의한 공기조화기의 덕트운전 제어 동작순서를 도시한 플로우챠트로써, 도 4에서 S는 스텝(STEP)을 표시한다.FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation procedure of the duct operation control of the air conditioner according to the present invention, in which S denotes a step.

먼저, 공기조화기에 전원이 인가되면, 전원수단(100)에서는 도시되지 않은 교류전원단으로부터 공급되는 상용교류전압을 상기 공기조화기의 구동에 필요한 소정의 직류전압으로 변환하여 각 구동회로 및 제어수단(104)에 출력한다.First, when power is applied to the air conditioner, the power supply means 100 converts a commercial AC voltage supplied from an AC power terminal (not shown) into a predetermined DC voltage required for driving the air conditioner, thereby driving each circuit and control means ( Output to 104).

따라서, 스텝S1에서는 상기 전원수단(100)으로부터 출력되는 직류전압을 제어수단(104)에서 입력받아 공기조화기를 초기화시킨다.Therefore, in step S1, the DC voltage output from the power supply means 100 is input from the control means 104 to initialize the air conditioner.

이때, 사용자가 운전조작수단(102)을 조작하여 운전키를 누른다음 원하는 공기조화기의 운전모드(예를들면, 냉방)와 설정온도(Ts), 설정풍량을 입력하면, 상기 운전조작수단(102)으로부터 운전선택신호 및 운전시작신호(이하, 운전신호라 한다)가 제어수단(104)에 입력된다.At this time, when the user operates the operation operation means 102 and presses the operation key, and inputs a desired operation mode (for example, cooling), a set temperature (Ts), and a set air volume of the air conditioner, the operation operation means ( From the 102, an operation selection signal and an operation start signal (hereinafter referred to as operation signal) are input to the control means 104.

이에 따라, 스텝S2에서 제어수단(104)은 상기 운전조작수단(102)으로부터 운전신호가 입력되었는지를 판별하여, 운전신호가 입력되지 않은 경우(NO일 경우)에는 공기조화기를 운전대기상태로 유지하면서 스텝S2이하의 동작을 반복수행한다.Accordingly, in step S2, the control means 104 determines whether the driving signal is input from the driving operation means 102, and maintains the air conditioner in the operation standby state when the driving signal is not input (NO). The operation of step S2 and below is repeated.

상기 스텝S2에서의 판별결과, 운전신호가 입력된 경우(YES일 경우)에는 스텝S3으로 나아가서 제어수단(104)은 운전조작수단(102)에 의해 입력된 운전조건이 냉방운전인가를 판별하여, 냉방운전이 아닌 경우(NO일 경우)에는 스텝S31로 나아가서 선택된 운전모드에 따라 공기조화기의 운전을 수행하면서 상기 스텝S3으로 복귀하여 스텝S3이하의 동작을 반복수행한다.As a result of the discrimination in step S2, when an operation signal is input (YES), the control means 104 determines whether or not the operation condition input by the operation operation means 102 is a cooling operation. If it is not the cooling operation (NO), the flow advances to step S31 to return to step S3 while performing the operation of the air conditioner in accordance with the selected operation mode, and repeats the operations of step S3 and below.

상기 스텝S3에서의 판별결과, 냉방운전인 경우(YES일 경우)에는 공기조화기의 냉방운전을 수행하기위해 스텝S4로 나아가서 제어수단(104)은 실내팬(23)을 구동하기위한 제어신호를 실내팬모터구동수단(126)에 출력한다.As a result of the discrimination in step S3, in the case of the cooling operation (YES), the control means 104 proceeds to step S4 to perform the cooling operation of the air conditioner, and the control means 104 supplies a control signal for driving the indoor fan 23. Output to the indoor fan motor driving means (126).

이에 따라, 실내팬모터구동수단(126)은 사용자가 설정한 풍량에 따라 실내팬모터(21)의 회전수를 제어하여 실내팬(23)을 온시킨다.Accordingly, the indoor fan motor driving means 126 controls the rotation speed of the indoor fan motor 21 according to the air volume set by the user to turn on the indoor fan 23.

상기 실내팬(23)이 온되면, 흡입구(3)를 통해 실내공기가 본체(1)내로 흡입되기 시작하는데, 이때에 본체(1)내로 흡입되는 실내공기의 온도(Tr)를 실내온도감지수단(106)에서 감지한다.When the indoor fan 23 is turned on, the indoor air starts to be sucked into the main body 1 through the suction port 3, and at this time, the indoor temperature (Tr) of the indoor air sucked into the main body 1 is measured by the indoor temperature. Detect at 106.

이때, 스텝S5에서는 소정시간(압축기를 보호하기위한 지연시간, 약 3분 정도)이 경과하였는지를 판별하여, 소정시간이 경과하지 않은 경우(NO일 경우)에는 소정시간이 경과할때까지 스텝S5이하의 동작을 반복수행한다.At this time, in step S5, it is determined whether the predetermined time (delay time for protecting the compressor, about 3 minutes) has elapsed, and if the predetermined time has not elapsed (NO), the step S5 or less until the predetermined time elapses. Repeat the operation.

상기 스텝S5에서의 판별결과, 소정시간이 경과한 경우(YES일 경우)에는 스텝S6으로 나아가서 제어수단(104)은 상기 실내온도감지수단(106)에 의해 감지된 실내온도(Tr)의 아날로그데이터를 입력받아 디지털로 변환시킨다음 실내온도(Tr)가 설정온도(Ts)보다 큰가를 판별하여, 실내온도(Tr)가 설정온도(Ts)보다 크지 않은 경우(NO일 경우)에는 실외기의 운전동작을 대기하면서 상기 스텝S5로 복귀하여 스텝S5이하의 동작을 반복수행한다.As a result of the discrimination in step S5, when a predetermined time has elapsed (YES), the process proceeds to step S6, whereby the control means 104 detects analog data of the room temperature Tr detected by the room temperature sensing means 106. FIG. After converting to digital, it determines whether the room temperature (Tr) is greater than the set temperature (Ts) .If the room temperature (Tr) is not greater than the set temperature (Ts) (if NO), the outdoor unit operates. The process returns to step S5 and waits for to repeat the operation of step S5 or less.

상기 스텝S6에서의 판별결과, 실내온도(Tr)가 설정온도(Ts)보다 큰 경우(YES일 경우)에는 스텝S7로 나아가서 제어수단(104)은 실내온도(Tr)와 설정온도(Ts)의 차에 따라 압축기(121)의 운전주파수와 실외팬모터의 회전수를 결정하여 압축기(121)와 실외팬(125)을 구동하기위한 제어신호를 압축기구동수단(120)과 실외팬모터구동수단(124)에 출력한다.As a result of the discrimination in step S6, when the room temperature Tr is greater than the set temperature Ts (YES), the process proceeds to step S7, whereby the control means 104 determines the indoor temperature Tr and the set temperature Ts. The driving frequency of the compressor 121 and the number of rotations of the outdoor fan motor are determined according to the difference, and control signals for driving the compressor 121 and the outdoor fan 125 are supplied to the compressor driving means 120 and the outdoor fan motor driving means ( 124).

따라서, 상기 압축기구동수단(120)에서는 제어수단(104)에서 결정된 운전주파수에 따라 압축기(121)를 온시키고, 실외팬모터구동수단(124)에서는 제어수단(104)에서 결정된 회전수에 따라 실외팬(125)을 온시킨다.Accordingly, the compressor driving means 120 turns on the compressor 121 according to the operating frequency determined by the control means 104, and the outdoor fan motor driving means 124 outdoors according to the rotation speed determined by the control means 104. Turn on the fan 125.

상기 압축기(121)와 실외팬(125)이 온되면, 냉매의 순환에 따라 실내열교환기(19)가 냉각되므로 스텝S8에서는 실내팬(23)의 회전력에 의해 흡입구(3)를 통해 본체(1)내로 흡입된 실내공기가 실내열교환기(19)를 통과하면서 실내열교환기(19)내에 흐르는 냉매의 증발잠열에 의해 냉풍으로 열교환되고, 실내열교환기(19)에서 열교환된 냉풍은 덕트부재(25)의 안내를 받아 상부로 안내된다.When the compressor 121 and the outdoor fan 125 are turned on, the indoor heat exchanger 19 is cooled according to the circulation of the refrigerant. In step S8, the main body 1 is formed through the suction port 3 by the rotational force of the indoor fan 23. The indoor air sucked into the heat exchanger is heat-exchanged with cold air by latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant flowing in the indoor heat exchanger 19 while passing through the indoor heat exchanger 19, and the cold air heat-exchanged by the indoor heat exchanger 19 is the duct member 25. ) Is guided to the top with guidance.

이때, 토출구(7)의 후면일측에 설치된 덕트관(31)내의 송풍팬모터(33)가 오프 상태이므로 상부로 안내된 냉풍은 냉기유출구(27)를 통해 덕트관(31)으로 토출되지 않고, 토출구(7)를 통해 본체(1)가 설치된 실내공간으로 토출되면서 상하풍향날개(9) 및 좌우풍향날개(11)의 풍향각도에 따라 상하 또는 좌우로 풍향이 조절되어 실내냉방을 행한다.At this time, since the blowing fan motor 33 in the duct pipe 31 installed on one side of the discharge port 7 is turned off, the cold air guided upward is not discharged to the duct pipe 31 through the cold air outlet 27. While the main body 1 is discharged through the discharge port 7, the air direction is controlled up and down or left and right according to the wind direction angle of the up and down wind vane 9 and the left and right wind vane 11, thereby cooling the room.

상기와 같이 실내냉방이 일정시간 수행되면, 실내공기의 온도가 점차 낮아지므로 이때의 변화하는 실내온도(Tr)를 감지하여 실내온도(Tr)가 설정온도(Ts)에 도달하면 압축기(121)를 오프시킨다.When the indoor cooling is performed for a predetermined time as described above, since the temperature of the indoor air gradually decreases, the compressor 121 is detected when the indoor temperature Tr reaches the set temperature Ts by detecting the changing room temperature Tr at this time. Turn it off.

상기 압축기(121)가 오프됨에 따라 실내공기의 온도(Tr)가 점차 높아져 실내온도(Tr)가 설정온도(Ts) + 1℃에 도달하면 압축기(121)를 다시 온시켜 실내온도(Tr)를 설정온도(Ts)로 낮추는 과정을 반복하여 실내온도(Tr)를 설정온도(Ts)로 유지시키는 냉방운전을 행한다.As the compressor 121 is turned off, the temperature Tr of the indoor air gradually increases, and when the room temperature Tr reaches the set temperature Ts + 1 ° C., the compressor 121 is turned on again to increase the room temperature Tr. The cooling operation is performed to maintain the room temperature Tr at the set temperature Ts by repeating the process of lowering the set temperature Ts.

상기와 같은 공기조화기의 냉방운전시에, 스텝S9에서는 운전조작수단(102)의 덕트운전키가 온되었는지를 판별하여, 덕트운전키가 온되지 않은 경우(NO일 경우)에는 상기 스텝S8로 복귀하여 냉방운전을 계속해서 수행하면서 스텝S8이하의 동작을 반복수행한다.In the cooling operation of the air conditioner as described above, in step S9, it is determined whether the duct operation key of the operation operation means 102 is turned on, and if the duct operation key is not turned on (NO), the flow goes to step S8. The operation of step S8 and below is repeated while returning and continuing cooling operation.

상기 스텝S9에서의 판별결과, 덕트운전키가 온된 경우(YES일 경우)에는 본체(1)가 설치된 장소와 실내열교환기(19)에서 열교환된 공기를 덕트관(31)을 통해 토출시키는 공조공간이 서로 다르므로 스텝S10으로 나아가서 제어수단(104)은 송풍팬(35)을 구동하기위한 제어신호를 송풍팬모터구동수단(128)에 출력한다.As a result of the determination in step S9, when the duct operation key is turned on (YES), the air-conditioning space for discharging the heat exchanged air from the place where the main body 1 is installed and the indoor heat exchanger 19 through the duct pipe 31 is shown. Since these are different from each other, the control means 104 proceeds to step S10 to output a control signal for driving the blower fan 35 to the blower fan motor drive means 128.

따라서, 송풍팬모터구동수단(128)은 제어수단(104)으로부터 출력되는 제어신호를 입력받아 송풍팬모터(33)의 회전수를 제어하여 송풍팬(35)을 온시킨다.Therefore, the blowing fan motor driving means 128 receives the control signal output from the control means 104 to control the rotation speed of the blowing fan motor 33 to turn on the blowing fan 35.

상기 송풍팬(35)이 온되면, 스텝S11에서는 실내열교환기(19)에서 열교환된 찬 공기가 냉기안내부(29)의 안내에 따라 냉기유출구(27)로 강제 유입되고, 상기 냉기유출구(27)로 유입된 냉기는 덕트관(31)을 통해 안내되어 본체(1)가 설치된 장소 이외의 덕트관(31)이 설치된 다른 공조공간으로 토출되어 본체(1) 설치장소 이외의 다른 공조공간을 냉방시키는데, 이때 본체(1)가 설치된 장소의 실내온도(Tr)가 설정온도(Ts)에 도달하여도 압축기(121)를 연속운전시켜 실내온도(Tr)와 설정온도(Ts)에 따른 실온제어를 무시하고 공기조화기를 강제로 연속운전시키면서 리턴한다.When the blowing fan 35 is turned on, in step S11, cold air heat-exchanged in the indoor heat exchanger 19 is forced into the cold air outlet 27 under the guidance of the cold air guide unit 29, and the cold air outlet 27 The cold air introduced into the air is guided through the duct pipe 31 to be discharged to another air-conditioning space where the duct pipe 31 is installed except for the place where the main body 1 is installed, thereby cooling the air-conditioning space other than the place where the main body 1 is installed. At this time, even if the indoor temperature Tr of the place where the main body 1 is installed reaches the set temperature Ts, the compressor 121 is continuously operated to control room temperature according to the room temperature Tr and the set temperature Ts. Ignore and return with forced operation of air conditioner.

상기의 설명에서와 같이 본 발명에 의한 공기조화기의 덕트운전장치 및 그 제어방법에 의하면, 덕트운전시 실내온도와 설정온도에 따른 온도제어를 무시하고 공기조화기를 연속운전시킴으로써 덕트운전을 행하는 공조공간의 실내온도가 설정온도에 도달하지 못하여도 본체 설치장소가 설정온도에 도달하면 냉방운전을 중지시킴으로 발생하는 오동작을 방지할 수 있다는 효과가 있다.According to the duct operation apparatus and control method of the air conditioner according to the present invention as described above, the air conditioning is carried out by continuously operating the air conditioner while ignoring the temperature control according to the room temperature and the set temperature during the duct operation Even if the indoor temperature of the space does not reach the set temperature, there is an effect that the malfunction caused by stopping the cooling operation when the main body installation place reaches the set temperature can be prevented.
