Description

에어컨의 제습량 표시 장치{APPARATUS FOR DISPLAY AMOUNT OF DEHUMIDIFICATION}[0001] APPARATUS FOR DISPLAY AMOUNT OF DEHUMIDIFICATION [0002]

본 발명은 에어컨의 제습량 표시 장치에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 에어컨의 제습운전시 배수되는 응축수가 드레인 판을 통해 수조탱크에 담수되는 양을 측정하고, 측정 결과를 본체 디스플레이에 표시함으로써 제습량을 시각적으로 확인할 수 있도록 하는 에어컨의 제습량 표시 장치에 관한 것이다.
The present invention relates to a dehumidifying amount display apparatus for an air conditioner. More particularly, the present invention relates to a dehumidifying amount display apparatus for measuring the amount of dehydration of condensed water drained in a dehumidifying operation of an air conditioner into a water tank tank through a drain plate, The amount of dehumidification of the air conditioner can be visually confirmed.

일반적으로 냉각사이클을 이용한 에어컨은 압축기(compressor)에서 압축된 냉매를 응축기(condenser)에서 액화시킨 뒤, 팽창밸브(expansion valve)를 통해 기화시킬 때, 증발기(evaporator)에서 흡수되는 기화열로 실내를 냉각시키게 된다.Generally, an air conditioner using a cooling cycle is a device in which a refrigerant compressed in a compressor is liquefied in a condenser, and then, when the refrigerant is vaporized through an expansion valve, the room is cooled by evaporation heat absorbed in an evaporator .

이때, 에어컨의 제습운전은 냉방운전과 동일한 운전시스템으로, 희망온도에 따라 실외기의 구동 온오프가 반복되지만, 제습운전은 실내온도를 강하시키는 것이 주목적이 아니라 열교환기 즉, 실내기(증발기)를 통해 실내의 습기를 제거하는 것이 주 목적이므로, 냉방운전과 같이 풍량이 강하게 운전되지 않고 낮은 풍량으로 운전되는 점에서 차이가 있다.At this time, the dehumidifying operation of the air conditioner is the same operating system as the cooling operation, and the driving of the outdoor unit is repeated according to the desired temperature. However, the dehumidifying operation is not the main purpose of lowering the room temperature but the heat exchanger It is different in that the air volume is not actively operated as in cooling operation but is operated in a low air volume because the main purpose is to remove moisture in the room.

그러나, 이러한 제습운전시 진행상태만 표시될 뿐 제습 기능이 제대로 동작하고 있는지 또는 얼마나 제습되었는지 여부를 확인할 수 없어 불편함이 존재하였다.
However, there was an inconvenience in this dehumidification operation because only the progress state was displayed and it was not possible to confirm whether the dehumidification function was operating properly or how dehumidified it was.

FIG. 2 is a view illustrating an example of a water tank tank installed in an apparatus for displaying dehumidification amount of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention FIG. 3 is an embodiment of a display unit of an apparatus for displaying the amount of dehumidification of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention.

도 1 내지 도 3에서와 같이 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 에어컨의 제습량 표시 장치는, 키입력부(10), 감지부(21), 밸브(30), 제어부(40), 구동부(50) 및 디스플레이부(60)를 포함한다.1 to 3, the dehumidifying amount display apparatus for an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a key input unit 10, a sensing unit 21, a valve 30, a control unit 40, a driving unit 50, And a display unit 60.

키입력부(10)는 기능 선택을 위한 사용자 키 입력수단이다.The key input unit 10 is a user key input unit for function selection.

즉, 에어컨의 냉방 운전, 자동 운전, 제습 운전 및 송풍 운전과 같은 기능을 선택한다. That is, functions such as cooling operation, automatic operation, dehumidification operation, and air cooling operation of the air conditioner are selected.

또한, 각 기능에 따른 설정값을 입력한다. 제습운전의 경우 습도 및 제습시간 등을 선택할 수 있다.In addition, a setting value according to each function is inputted. In the case of dehumidifying operation, humidity and dehumidification time can be selected.

감지부(21)는 수조탱크(20)에 구비되며, 수조탱크(20)에 담수되는 응축수의 양을 측정한다.The sensing unit 21 is provided in the water tank 20, and measures the amount of condensed water that is desalinated in the water tank 20.

따라서, 감지부(21)는 수위감지센서, 중량센서 등과 같이 응축수의 양을 측정하기 위한 수단이라면 어느 것이 적용되어도 무방하다.Accordingly, the sensing unit 21 may be any means for measuring the amount of condensed water such as a water level sensor, a weight sensor, and the like.

이때, 수조탱크(20)는 도 2에서와 같이 드레인 호스(81)를 통해 배수되는 응축수가 중간에서 일시적으로 담수되도록 설치되며, 자세히는, 제습 운전 수행시 실외기의 압축기(51)가 구동됨에 따라 증발기(실내 열교환기, 70)에 맺히는 응축수가 드레인 판(80)으로 배수되어 드레인 호스(81)를 통해 담수된다. 그리고, 수조탱크(20)에 담수된 응축수는 드레인 호스(81)를 통해 외부로 배수된다.2, the water tank tank 20 is installed such that condensed water drained through the drain hose 81 is temporarily drained from the middle, and more specifically, when the dehumidifying operation is performed, the compressor 51 of the outdoor unit is driven Condensate generated in the evaporator (indoor heat exchanger) 70 is drained to the drain plate 80 and is drained through the drain hose 81. Condensate drained in the tank tank 20 is drained to the outside through the drain hose 81.

또한, 수조탱크(20)는 내부 청소 등을 진행할 수 있도록 탈부착이 가능하게 설치된다.In addition, the water tank tank 20 is detachably attached so as to perform internal cleaning or the like.

밸브(30)는 제어부(30)의 제어에 따라 개폐되는 솔레노이드밸브로써, 수조탱크(20)에 담수된 응축수를 배수시키기 위해 수조탱크(20) 하단에 설치된다.The valve 30 is a solenoid valve that is opened or closed under the control of the control unit 30 and is installed at the lower end of the water tank tank 20 in order to discharge the condensed water fresh out of the water tank tank 20.

제어부(40)는 수조탱크(20)의 탈부착을 감지하고, 키입력부(10)로부터 입력되는 기능에 따라 밸브(30)를 제어하되, 자세히는 키입력부(10)로 제습 기능이 입력되고, 수조탱크(20)의 장착이 감지되면 밸브(30)를 폐쇄시키고, 제습 기능을 제외한 다른 기능(예를들면, 냉방, 자동, 송풍 등)이 입력되면 밸브(30)를 개방시킨다.The control unit 40 senses the attachment and detachment of the water tank 20 and controls the valve 30 according to the function inputted from the key input unit 10. The dehumidifying function is inputted to the key input unit 10 in detail, When the mounting of the tank 20 is detected, the valve 30 is closed and the valve 30 is opened when other functions (for example, cooling, automatic, blowing, etc.) except the dehumidifying function are inputted.

만약, 수조탱크(20)의 이탈이 감지되면, 구동부(50)에 구동정지신호를 출력하여 제습 운전을 정지시키고, 도 3에서와 같이 디스플레이부(60)에 수조탱크의 탈착 상태를 표시하는데, "수조탱크 없음"(62)과 같이 표시할 수도 있다.When the detachment of the water tank tank 20 is sensed, a driving stop signal is outputted to the driving unit 50 to stop the dehumidifying operation, and the detachment state of the water tank tank is displayed on the display unit 60 as shown in FIG. Quot; no water tank tank "(62).

또한, 제어부(40)는 키입력부(10)로 제습 기능이 입력되면, 구동부(50)에 구동신호를 출력하여 키입력부(10)를 통해 입력된 설정값에 따라 제습 운전을 수행하고, 감지부(21)로부터 측정되는 응축수의 양에 기반하여 디스플레이부(60)에 제습량을 표시(61)한다.When the dehumidifying function is input to the key input unit 10, the control unit 40 outputs a driving signal to the driving unit 50 to perform a dehumidifying operation according to the set value input through the key input unit 10, (61) on the display unit (60) based on the amount of condensed water measured from the condenser (21).

즉, 제습 기능이 입력되면, 밸브(30)를 폐쇄시켜 제습 운전 수행시 배수되는 응축수가 수조탱크(20)에 담수되도록 하고, 감지부(21)를 통해 수조탱크(20)에 담수된 응축수의 양을 측정한다.That is, when the dehumidifying function is inputted, the valve 30 is closed so that the condensed water drained in the dehumidifying operation is desorbed in the water tank 20, and the condensed water in the water tank tank 20 Measure the amount.

이때, 제어부(40)는 감지부(21)로부터 측정되는 응축수의 양이 설정량(만수)을 초과하면, 밸브(30)를 개방시켜 수조탱크(20)에 담수된 응축수를 외부로 배수시키고, 디스플레이부(60)에 응축수의 배수 상태를 표시하는데, "응축수 배수중"과 같이 표시할 수도 있다.At this time, if the amount of condensed water measured from the sensing unit 21 exceeds the set amount (full water number), the control unit 40 opens the valve 30 to drain the condensed water, which has been despooled in the water tank tank 20, The drainage state of the condensed water is displayed on the display unit 60, and may be displayed as "during drainage of condensed water ".

또한, 제어부(40)는 수조탱크(20)에 담수된 응축수가 모두 배수되면 다시 밸브(30)를 폐쇄시켜 수조탱크(20)에 응축수가 담수되도록 한다.The control unit 40 closes the valve 30 again when the condensate drained in the water tank 20 is completely drained, so that the condensed water is drained to the water tank 20.

이때, 배수된 응축수의 양을 누적하여 설정기간에 따라 총 제습량을 산출하여 제공할 수도 있고, 산출된 제습량을 초기화할 수도 있다.At this time, the total amount of dehumidified water can be calculated and provided according to the set period by cumulating the amount of discharged condensed water, or the calculated dehumidified water amount can be initialized.

구동부(50)는 제어부(40)의 제어에 따라 실외기의 압축기(51)를 구동시킨다.The driving unit 50 drives the compressor 51 of the outdoor unit under the control of the control unit 40.

디스플레이부(60)는 에어컨 전면의 표시 패널로써, 도 3에 도시된 바와 같이 키입력부(10)를 통해 선택된 기능과, 현재온도 및 희망온도와 더불어 감지부(21)로부터 측정되는 응축수의 양에 기반한 제습량을 표시(61)하고, "수조탱크 없음" 및 "응축수 배출중"과 같은 안내 멘트를 표시(62)할 수도 있다. The display unit 60 is a display panel on the front surface of the air conditioner. The display unit 60 displays the function selected through the key input unit 10 and the amount of condensed water measured from the sensing unit 21 together with the current temperature and the desired temperature, The amount of dehumidification based on the amount of dehumidification is displayed (61), and indication (62) such as "no water tank tank" and "during discharge of condensed water" can be displayed.

상술한 바와 같이, 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 에어컨의 제습량 표시 장치는 에어컨의 제습운전시 배수되는 응축수가 드레인 판을 통해 수조탱크에 담수되는 양을 측정하고, 측정 결과를 본체 디스플레이에 표시함으로써 제습량을 시각적으로 확인할 수 있도록 하여 제품의 신뢰도를 향상시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 제품 성능을 용이하게 판단할 수 있다.
As described above, in the dehumidifying amount display apparatus of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention, the amount of condensed water drained in the dehumidifying operation of the air conditioner is discharged into the water tank tank through the drain plate, The amount of dehumidification can be visually confirmed so that the reliability of the product can be improved and the product performance can be easily judged.

도 4는 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 에어컨의 제습량 표시 방법의 동작 흐름을 도시한 순서도로써, 이를 참조하여 본 발명의 구체적인 동작을 설명한다.FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation flow of a dehumidifying amount display method of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, and a specific operation of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

먼저, 제어부(40)가 키입력부(10)로부터 제습 기능이 입력되는지 판단한다(S10).First, the control unit 40 determines whether the dehumidifying function is input from the key input unit 10 (S10).

여기서, 키입력부(10)는 기능 선택을 위한 사용자 키 입력수단이다.Here, the key input unit 10 is a user key input means for function selection.

즉, 에어컨의 냉방 운전, 자동 운전, 제습 운전 및 송풍 운전과 같은 기능을 선택한다. That is, functions such as cooling operation, automatic operation, dehumidification operation, and air cooling operation of the air conditioner are selected.

또한, 각 기능에 따른 설정값을 입력한다. 제습운전의 경우 습도 및 제습시간 등을 선택할 수 있다.In addition, a setting value according to each function is inputted. In the case of dehumidifying operation, humidity and dehumidification time can be selected.

S10 단계의 판단결과, 제습 기능이 입력되지 않았으면, 밸브(30)를 개방시킨다(S11).As a result of the determination in step S10, if the dehumidifying function is not input, the valve 30 is opened (S11).

그러나, 제습 기능이 입력되었으면, 구동부(50)에 구동신호를 출력하고(S20), 수조탱크(20)의 상태를 감지한다(S30).However, if the dehumidifying function is input, a driving signal is outputted to the driving unit 50 (S20), and the state of the water tank 20 is sensed (S30).

이때, 구동부(50)는 제어부(40)의 제어에 따라 실외기의 압축기(51)를 구동시킨다.At this time, the driving unit 50 drives the compressor 51 of the outdoor unit under the control of the control unit 40.

그리고, 수조탱크(20)는 드레인 호스(81)를 통해 배수되는 응축수가 중간에서 일시적으로 담수되도록 설치되며, 자세히는, 제습 운전 수행시 실외기의 압축기(51)가 구동됨에 따라 증발기(실내 열교환기, 70)에 맺히는 응축수가 드레인 판(80)으로 배수되어 드레인 호스(81)를 통해 담수된다. 그리고 수조탱크(20)에 담수된 응축수는 드레인 호스(81)를 통해 외부로 배수된다.The water tank tank 20 is installed such that condensed water drained through the drain hose 81 is temporarily drained from the middle. More specifically, as the compressor 51 of the outdoor unit is driven during the dehumidifying operation, the evaporator (the indoor heat exchanger And 70 are drained to the drain plate 80 and then drained through the drain hose 81. [ The condensate drained in the water tank 20 is drained to the outside through the drain hose 81.

또한, 수조탱크(20)는 내부 청소 등을 진행할 수 있도록 탈부착이 가능하게 설치된다.In addition, the water tank tank 20 is detachably attached so as to perform internal cleaning or the like.

S30 단계의 판단 결과, 수조탱크(20)가 이탈되었으면 구동부(50)에 구동정지신호를 출력하여 제습 운전을 정지시키고(31), 디스플레이부(60)에 수조탱크의 탈착 상태를 표시한다(S32).As a result of the determination in step S30, if the water tank tank 20 is removed, a driving stop signal is outputted to the driving unit 50 to stop the dehumidifying operation (31) and display state of the water tank tank in the display unit 60 ).

그러나, 수조탱크(20)가 장착되었으면 밸브(30)를 폐쇄시킨다(S40).However, when the water tank tank 20 is mounted, the valve 30 is closed (S40).

이때, 밸브(30)는 제어부(30)의 제어에 따라 개폐되는 솔레노이드밸브로써, 수조탱크(20)에 담수된 응축수를 외부로 배수시키기 위해 수조탱크(20) 하단에 설치된다.The valve 30 is a solenoid valve that is opened or closed under the control of the control unit 30 and is installed at the lower end of the water tank tank 20 in order to discharge the condensed water fresh out of the water tank tank 20 to the outside.

밸브(30)가 폐쇄되고, 구동신호에 따라 제습 운전이 수행되면(S50), 수조탱크(20)에 구비되는 감지부(21)로부터 측정되는 응축수의 양을 입력받는다(S60).The valve 30 is closed and the dehumidifying operation is performed according to the driving signal in step S50 so that the amount of condensed water measured from the sensing unit 21 provided in the water tank 20 is input in step S60.

이때, 감지부(21)는 수조탱크(20)에 구비되며, 수조탱크(20)에 담수되는 응축수의 양을 측정한다.At this time, the sensing unit 21 is provided in the water tank 20, and measures the amount of condensed water to be desalinated in the water tank 20.

따라서, 감지부(21)는 수위감지센서, 중량센서 등과 같이 응축수의 양을 측정하기 위한 수단이라면 어느 것이 적용되어도 무방하다.Accordingly, the sensing unit 21 may be any means for measuring the amount of condensed water such as a water level sensor, a weight sensor, and the like.

S60 단계에서 입력된 응축수의 양에 기반하여 디스플레이부(60)에 제습량을 표시한다(S70).The dehumidifying amount is displayed on the display unit 60 based on the amount of the condensed water inputted in the step S60 (S70).

만약, S60 단계에서 입력된 응축수의 양이 설정량을 초과하면, 밸브(30)를 개방시켜 수조탱크(20)에 담수된 응축수를 배수시키고, 디스플레이부(60)에 응축수의 배수 상태를 표시하는데, "응축수 배출중"을 표시할 수도 있다.If the amount of the condensed water inputted in step S60 exceeds the set amount, the valve 30 is opened to drain the condensed water that has been despooled in the water tank tank 20, and the drainage state of the condensed water is displayed on the display part 60 , "During Condensate Emptying"

이때, 배수된 응축수의 양을 누적하여 설정기간에 따라 총 제습량을 산출하여 제공할 수도 있고, 산출된 제습량을 초기화할 수도 있다.At this time, the total amount of dehumidified water can be calculated and provided according to the set period by cumulating the amount of discharged condensed water, or the calculated dehumidified water amount can be initialized.

즉, 디스플레이부(60)는 에어컨 전면의 표시 패널로써, 도 3에 도시된 바와 같이 키입력부(10)를 통해 선택된 기능과, 현재온도 및 희망온도와 더불어 감지부(21)로부터 측정되는 응축수의 양에 기반한 제습량을 표시(61)하고, "수조탱크 없음" 및 "응축수 배출중"과 같은 안내 멘트를 표시(62)할 수도 있다. That is, the display unit 60 is a display panel on the front surface of the air conditioner. As shown in FIG. 3, the display unit 60 displays a function selected through the key input unit 10, a current temperature and a desired temperature, The amount of dehumidification based on the amount (61) may be displayed, and indication (62) such as "no tank tank" and "during discharge of condensate" may be displayed.

상술한 바와 같이, 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 에어컨의 제습량 표시 방법은 에어컨의 제습운전시 배수되는 응축수가 드레인 판을 통해 수조탱크에 담수되는 양을 측정하고, 측정 결과를 본체 디스플레이에 표시함으로써 제습량을 시각적으로 확인할 수 있도록 하여 제품의 신뢰도를 향상시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 제품 성능을 용이하게 판단할 수 있다.
As described above, in the method of displaying the dehumidification amount of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention, the amount of condensed water drained in the dehumidifying operation of the air conditioner is discharged into the water tank tank through the drain plate, The amount of dehumidification can be visually confirmed so that the reliability of the product can be improved and the product performance can be easily judged.
