Referring to FIG. 4, various noises may be generated during operation of the
And to the user, such noise is felt louder at night than during the day. This is because there are various living noises in addition to the
Therefore, the user can set the time for which the noise reduction operation of the
The reference time zone may be set in various ways. For example, an input unit may be provided at one side of the
When the reference time zone is set (S11), it is continuously determined whether the current time corresponds to the reference time zone. (S12) That is, it is determined whether the current time corresponds to the reference time zone, If it does not correspond to the reference time zone, it is again determined whether the current time corresponds to the reference time zone (S12).
However, when the current time corresponds to the reference time zone, the noise reduction operation is started (S13). In more detail, when the current time corresponds to the reference time zone, the noise generated by at least one of the
After the noise reduction operation is started, it is determined whether the current time does not correspond to the reference time zone (S14). When the current time corresponds to the reference time zone, it is again determined whether the current time does not correspond to the reference time zone (S14). However, when the current time does not correspond to the reference time zone, the noise reduction operation of the
In addition, the above-described process may be repeatedly performed while the operation of the air conditioner, that is, the
By the above process, the noise reduction operation can be performed only in the reference time zone. That is, there is an advantage that the noise reduction operation can be performed at a time desired by the user. In this case, the current time corresponding to the reference time zone may be regarded as a low noise requirement for determining whether to perform the noise reduction operation.
In addition, as described above, since the user is generally more sensitive to noise at night than at daytime, the reference time zone may be set to a corresponding time zone after sunset and before sunrise. For example, assuming that the sunset time is 6 pm and the sunrise time is 6 am, the reference time zone may be set from 6 pm to 6 am. Therefore, the noise reduction operation is automatically performed at night, and there is an advantage that the noise reduction operation can be stopped during the day.
EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the noise reduction operation | movement of 2nd Example of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner by this invention is demonstrated in detail with reference to attached drawing. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the low noise requirement is when the outdoor temperature falls below the reference temperature.
Fig. 5 is a control block diagram of the second embodiment of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner according to the present invention, and Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing the noise reduction operation of the second embodiment of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner according to the present invention.
5 and 6, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner further includes a
When the operation of the air conditioner is started, the temperature of the outdoor air is sensed through the temperature sensor 37 (S21).
It is determined whether the temperature of the outdoor air falls below the reference temperature (S22), and when the temperature of the outdoor air falls below the reference temperature, the noise reduction operation of the outdoor unit is started (S23). However, when the temperature of the outdoor air exceeds the reference temperature, the outdoor air temperature is detected again (S22).
After the noise reduction operation is started, the temperature of the outdoor air is sensed (S24). In operation S25, it is determined whether the temperature of the outdoor air corresponds to the reference temperature or more. When the temperature of the outdoor air falls below the reference temperature, the outdoor air temperature is detected again (S24). However, when the temperature of the outdoor air corresponds to the reference temperature or more, the noise reduction operation is stopped (S26).
In this case, the reference temperature may be set by the installer or the user.
According to the outdoor unit, the noise reduction operation may be automatically performed at night, and the noise reduction operation may be stopped during the day. More specifically, the temperature of outdoor air is generally lower at night, and the temperature of outdoor air is relatively high at daytime. However, the temperature of the outdoor air detected at the boundary time between night and day may be set as the reference temperature. In such a case, when the temperature of the outdoor air changes from the day to the night so that the temperature of the outdoor air falls below the reference temperature, the noise reduction operation is performed, and the temperature of the outdoor air corresponds to the reference temperature or more by changing from the night to the daytime. In this case, the noise reduction operation is stopped. That is, the noise reduction operation is automatically performed at night, and the noise reduction operation is stopped during the day. At this time, the temperature of the outdoor air is less than the reference temperature, it can be seen as a low noise requirement for determining whether to perform the noise reduction operation.
Here, the reference temperature varies depending on the season. In general, the average temperature of the outdoor air changes according to the spring, summer, autumn and winter seasons. Reflecting this tendency, the reference temperature can be set to different values depending on the season. For example, the summer reference temperature may be set to a value higher than the winter reference temperature. In such a case, since the reference temperature is also automatically changed as the seasons change, an optimum noise reduction operation for each season is possible.
Hereinafter, the noise reduction operation of the third embodiment of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the low noise requirement is a case where the fan speed is equal to or greater than the reference speed.
