In this case, The control unit 190 drives the blowing motor 22 so that the blowing fan 24 rotates at a weak wind intensity. In this embodiment, the weakness, which is the wind strength of cleansing the silence, is the slowest speed of the blowing fan 24. The normal-sound clearing-time display unit 163 displays 'silent'.

가습청정에서 후술할 취침가습청정 외의 다른 모드로 변경되는 경우를 이하에서 가습운전 해제라 한다. 가습청정에서 다른 모드로 변경되면, 제어부(190)는 수차모터(42)의 동작을 정지하여 가습을 중단한다. 제어부(190)는 운전모드가 가습청정과 후술할 취침가습청정으로 설정된 경우 외에 수차모터(42)를 공기상태 등에 따라 자동으로 작동하는 경우는 없다.The case where the mode is changed to another mode other than the sleeping humidification mode to be described later in the description of the humidifying mode is hereinafter referred to as a humidifying mode. When the mode is changed from the humidifying clean mode to another mode, the control unit 190 stops the operation of the aberration motor 42 to stop the humidification. The control unit 190 does not automatically operate the aberration motor 42 in accordance with the air state or the like in addition to the case where the operation mode is set to the humidifying clean mode and the sleep humidifying mode to be described later.

사용자가 바람세기키(243)를 누를 때마다 제어부(190)는 바람세기를 자동, 약, 중, 강으로 설정하여 설정된 바람세기에 따라 송풍팬(24)의 회전속도를 조절한다. 바람세기 약은 정음청정시의 바람세기인 미약보다 송풍팬(24)의 회전속도가 빠르다. 바람세기가 약, 중, 강으로 갈수록 송풍팬(24)의 회전속도는 빨라진다. 바람세기 강은 후술할 쾌속모드시 바람세기인 쾌속보다 송풍팬(24)의 회전속도가 느리다. 사용자는 바람세기키(243)를 눌러 바람세기를 미약 또는 쾌속으로 설정할 수 없다.Each time the user presses the wind intensity key 243, the controller 190 sets the wind intensity to automatic, medium, heavy, and steep, and adjusts the rotational speed of the blowing fan 24 according to the set wind intensity. The speed of rotation of the air blowing fan 24 is faster than that of the weak wind, which is the wind strength at the time of clearing the sound. The wind speed of the air blowing fan 24 increases as the wind intensity decreases toward the middle, middle, and the river. The wind speed of the wind blowing fan 24 is slower than the fast speed of the wind speed in the fast mode to be described later. The user can not set the wind strength to weak or rapid by pressing the wind strength key 243.

바람세기가 자동으로 설정된 경우 제어부(190)는 공기상태에 따라 송풍팬(24)의 회전속도를 조절한다. 바람세기가 자동으로 설정된 경우 제어부(190)는 송풍팬(24)의 회전속도를 약, 중, 강 3단계로 구분하여 제어하며, 송풍팬(24)의 회전속도 단계가 약에서 강으로 갈수록 송풍팬(24)의 회전속도는 빨라진다. 바람세기가 자동으로 설정된 경우 송풍팬(24)의 회전속도 단계가 약, 중, 강일 때 각각의 송풍팬(24)의 회전속도는, 사용자가 설정하는 바람세기의 약, 중, 강의 각각의 송풍팬(24)의 회전속도와 같거나 유사하다. 바람세기가 설정되면, 표시부(163)는 해당 바람세기를 문자로 표시한다.When the wind strength is automatically set, the controller 190 adjusts the rotational speed of the blowing fan 24 according to the air condition. When the wind strength is automatically set, the control unit 190 controls the rotational speed of the blowing fan 24 in three stages of about, middle, and heavy. When the rotational speed of the blowing fan 24 changes from weak to strong, The rotation speed of the fan 24 is accelerated. When the wind strength is automatically set, the rotational speed of each of the blowing fans 24 when the rotational speed of the blowing fan 24 is about the middle, middle, and high is determined by the wind speed of each of the wind intensity set by the user, Is equal to or similar to the rotational speed of the fan (24). When the wind strength is set, the display unit 163 displays the wind strength as a character.

바람세기가 자동에서 약, 중, 강으로 변경되는 경우를 이하 바람세기 자동 해제라 한다.When the wind intensity changes from automatic to weak, medium, and steep, the wind speed is automatically canceled.

바람세기가 자동이 아닌 약, 중, 강으로 설정되고, 운전모드가 가습청정 또는 취침가습청정으로 설정되어 수차모터(42)가 동작하는 경우, 수차(44)의 회전속도 단계는 설정된 바람세기와 연동된다. 즉, 바람세기가 강으로 설정되면 제어부는 수차(44)의 회전속도 단계를 강으로 설정하고, 바람세기가 중으로 설정되면 제어부는 수차(44)의 회전속도 단계를 중으로 설정하고, 바람세기가 약으로 설정되면 제어부는 수차(44)의 회전속도 단계를 약으로 설정한다.When the airstream motor 42 is operated by setting the wind strength to be weak, medium, or strong rather than automatic, and the operation mode is set to humidification clean or sleep humidification clean, the rotational speed level of the aberration 44 is set to Interworking. That is, when the wind strength is set to be strong, the controller sets the rotation speed of the aberration 44 to a strong, and if the wind strength is set to medium, the controller sets the rotation speed of the aberration 44 to middle, The control unit sets the rotation speed step of the aberration 44 to about zero.

In the rapid mode, the controller 190 operates the electric dust collecting module 15 and the air blowing motor 22, and the aberration motor 42 does not operate. In the rapid mode, the controller 190 operates the wind force for a predetermined time (30 minutes in this embodiment), releases the rapid mode, and sets the operation mode to the previous operation mode. In the present embodiment, the rapid speed, which is the wind strength of the rapid mode, is the fastest speed of the blowing fan. In the rapid mode, the display unit 163 displays 'rapid'.

When the sleep reservation is set for general clean or humidification clean, the operation mode in which the noise is reduced in the previous operation mode is set. When the sleep reservation is set in the general clean mode, the operation mode is set to the sleep clean mode. When the in-use reservation is set in the humidification mode, the operation mode is set to the sleep mode. The difference between the sleeping general cleaning and the sleeping humidifying cleaning differs depending on whether the aberration motor 42 is operated or not, and the other operations are the same.

취침가습청정은 공기청정과 가습을 동시에 조용하게 수행하는 운전모드로서, 취침청정시 제어부(190)는 전기집진모듈(15), 송풍모터(22) 및 수차모터(42)를 작동한다. 취침가습청정시 제어부(190)는 바람세기를 설정된 시간(본 실시예에서 1시간)동안 약으로 작동하고 이후 자동으로 설정하며, 이에 따라 수차(44)의 회전속도 단계를 설정된 시간동안 약으로 설정하고 이후 자동으로 설정된다. 설정된 시간 경과 후 제어부(190)는 송풍모터(22)를 제어하여 송풍팬(24)의 회전속도를 조절하고 수차모터(42)를 제어하여 수차(44)의 회전속도를 조절한다. 취침가습청정에 대한 자세한 설명은 후술한다.The controller 190 controls the electric dust collecting module 15, the air blowing motor 22, and the aberration motor 42 when the sleeping state is cleaned.
