Description

Air conditioning system

This disclosure relates to an air conditioning system equipped with an air conditioner.

Traditionally, childhood asthma has become a social problem, but asthma is closely related to temperature, and it has been found that there is a high risk of developing it after a sudden temperature drop (in medical books, temperatures exceeding 3 ° C in 5 hours). It is said that the decrease has an adverse effect on the body. Our research has found that temperature changes exceeding 3 ° C for 1 hour cause asthma attacks). Recently, there is a growing awareness that air conditioners are used as a measure against heat stroke, and that they are "devices that maintain health." On the other hand, when a set temperature that is far from the temperature of the air-conditioned space is set. , It can be a risk for asthma because it causes a sudden temperature change in the air-conditioned space.

Therefore, when the set temperature is set far from the temperature of the air-conditioned space due to an erroneous operation of the remote control, the user sets it so that the user's body is not adversely affected by the sudden temperature change of the air-conditioned space. There is known an air conditioner that presents a plurality of set temperature candidates to a user at regular intervals after setting a temperature and allows the user to select one set temperature from the candidates (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

The remote control centralized management device includes a room temperature sensor and a setting means for setting a target temperature and a target time, and the remote operation centralized management device has the target temperature and the target time set for the air conditioner from the setting means. Based on the temperature of the air-conditioned space, the set temperature is calculated so that the temperature change per unit time of the air-conditioned space does not exceed the preset healthy temperature gradient, and the set temperature is calculated at each preset update time. It is equipped with a control device that controls body load reduction to transmit the set temperature to the air conditioner.

According to the air conditioning system according to the present disclosure, the set temperature is calculated so that the temperature change per unit time of the air-conditioned space does not exceed the healthy temperature gradient, and the set temperature is transmitted to the air conditioner at each update time.

Next, the control flow of the remote control centralized management device 7 of the air conditioning system according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. At the start of the control flow shown in FIG. 4, it is assumed that the air conditioner 1 is in the stopped state.

(Step S101)
The control device 23 acquires the target temperature and target time information transmitted from the adapter 2 or the operation terminal 8. When the setting means is operated by the user and the target temperature and the target time are set, the adapter 2 or the operation terminal 8 transmits the information on the target temperature and the target time to the remote control centralized management device 7.

(Step S102)
The control device 23 acquires the room temperature information transmitted from the adapter 2. The room temperature information is acquired from the room temperature sensor 3, and the adapter 2 transmits it to the remote control centralized management device 7 during periodic communication.

(Step S103)
The control device 23 determines whether it is time to start the operation of the air conditioner 1 based on the target temperature, the target time, and the room temperature acquired in steps S101 and S102, and the preset health temperature gradient. judge. Here, the healthy temperature slope is a temperature change per unit time for determining whether or not a burden is applied to the human body, and when the temperature change per unit time of the air-conditioned space exceeds the healthy temperature slope, It can be determined that the human body is burdened. For example, the control device 23 determines that it is time to start the operation of the air conditioner 1 when (target time-current time) × healthy temperature slope ≦ (current room temperature-target temperature) is satisfied. When the control device 23 determines that it is time to start the operation of the air conditioner 1, the process proceeds to step S105. On the other hand, if the control device 23 determines that it is not the time to start the operation of the air conditioner 1, the process proceeds to step S104.

(Step S104)
The control device 23 determines whether the current time has reached the target time. When the control device 23 determines that the current time has reached the target time, the control is terminated. On the other hand, if the control device 23 determines that the current time has not reached the target time, the process returns to the process of step S102.

(Step S105)
The control device 23 transmits the operation start information to the air conditioner 1. When the air conditioner 1 receives the operation start information via the adapter 2, the air conditioner 1 starts the operation. Here, the operation start information includes the information of the set temperature, and the set temperature is set to a value such that the temperature change per unit time of the air-conditioned space does not exceed the healthy temperature slope.

(Step S106)
The control device 23 acquires the room temperature information transmitted from the adapter 2. The room temperature information is acquired from the room temperature sensor 3, and the adapter 2 transmits it to the remote control centralized management device 7 during periodic communication.

(Step S107)
The control device 23 determines whether the room temperature has reached the target temperature. When the control device 23 determines that the room temperature has reached the target temperature, the control is terminated. On the other hand, if the control device 23 determines that the room temperature has not reached the target temperature, the process proceeds to step S108.

(Step S108)
The control device 23 determines whether or not the update time has elapsed since the information on the set temperature was transmitted to the air conditioner 1 last time. Here, the update time is, for example, [(60 / health temperature slope) × minimum unit of set temperature] minutes. When the health temperature slope is 3 ° C./h (3 ° C. per hour) and the minimum unit of the set temperature is 0.5 ° C., the update time is (60/3) × 0.5 = 10 minutes. .. If it is determined that the update time has elapsed since the control device 23 previously transmitted the set temperature information to the air conditioner 1, the process proceeds to step S109. On the other hand, if it is determined that the update time has not elapsed since the control device 23 previously transmitted the information on the set temperature to the air conditioner 1, the process proceeds to step S110.

(Step S109)
The control device 23 transmits information on the (next) set temperature to the air conditioner 1. At this time, the temperature that is closer to the target temperature by the minimum unit of the set temperature from the current set temperature is defined as the (next) set temperature. For example, if the target temperature is 25 ° C, the current set temperature is 27 ° C, and the minimum unit of the set temperature is 0.5 ° C, the (next) set temperature will be 26.5 ° C. However, the set temperature is set so that the temperature change per unit time of the air-conditioned space does not exceed the healthy temperature slope.

(Step S110)
The control device 23 determines whether the current time has reached the target time. When the control device 23 determines that the current time has reached the target time, the control is terminated. On the other hand, if the control device 23 determines that the current time has not reached the target time, the process returns to the process of step S106.

During the control shown in FIG. 4, the control device 23 transmits the progress information to each operation terminal 8 in which the connection setting of the air conditioning system is set, and displays the progress information on the display screen of each operation terminal 8. Here, the progress information is information on the temperature of the air-conditioned space with respect to the elapsed time from the reference time, and is information indicating the temperature change of the air-conditioned space from the reference time to the elapsed time. The reference time is, for example, the time when the target temperature and the target time are set by the user, or the time when the operation of the air conditioner 1 is started. By displaying the progress information on the display screen of the operation terminal 8 in this way, the temperature can be confirmed even when the user is absent from the air-conditioned space, and the temperature of the air-conditioned space can be managed. Is possible.

The above description is for the case where the air conditioner 1 is in the stopped state at the start of the control flow shown in FIG. 4, but when the air conditioner 1 is in the operating state, the process of step S103 is skipped. It is the same except that.

FIG. 5 is a time transition diagram showing transitions between room temperature and set temperature in the control of the air conditioning system according to the first embodiment.

For example, if you want the air-conditioned space to be 25 ° C at 6 am before going to bed, the user sets "target temperature: 25 ° C" and "target time: 6 o'clock" using the setting means. The control device 23 determines whether it is time to start the operation of the air conditioner 1 from the target temperature, the target time, and the room temperature sent for each periodic communication. When the health temperature slope is 3 ° C./h (3 ° C. per hour), the control device 23 starts the cooling operation at the timing when the room temperature reaches 28 ° C. at 5 am. Assuming that the minimum unit of the set temperature is 0.5 ° C, the set temperature is set to 27.5 ° C, which is 0.5 ° C lower than the room temperature at the start of operation, and the temperature is lowered by 0.5 ° C every 10 minutes, which is the update time. By setting the temperature, it is possible to avoid a sudden temperature change and bring the room temperature to the target temperature. The transition between the room temperature and the set temperature at this time is shown in FIG.

If the air conditioning control is performed so as to reduce the burden on the human body as in the control shown in FIG. 4, it is possible that the room temperature does not reach the target temperature by the target time. In that case, the following human body Performs one of load priority control, time priority control, and selection control.

The human body load priority control is performed as shown in FIG. 4, and the set temperature is set so that the temperature change per unit time of the air-conditioned space does not exceed the healthy temperature gradient until the target time is reached, and when the target time is reached. It is a control to set the target temperature to the set temperature.

The time priority control is a control that changes the value of the health temperature gradient so that the target temperature can be reached at the target time and the burden on the human body is reduced as much as possible in the control shown in FIG.

In the selection control, when the target temperature and the target time are set by the user from the setting means, the setting means notifies the content of "The target temperature cannot be reached by the target time, but should it be executed?". Then, when the user inputs "Yes" from the setting means, the control shown in FIG. 4 is performed as it is. This control is the same as the human body load priority control. On the other hand, if the user inputs "No" from the setting means, the temperature transition with respect to the passage of time is calculated so that the target temperature can be reached at the target time and the burden on the human body is reduced as much as possible, and the setting means. Notifies "temperature transition with respect to the passage of time" and also informs the content of "do you execute at this temperature transition?". Then, when the user inputs "Yes" from the setting means, the control shown in FIG. 4 is performed so that the temperature changes with respect to the calculated time lapse. This control is the same as the time priority control. On the other hand, when the user inputs "No" from the setting means, the setting means notifies the content of "Please reset the target temperature and the target time".

In the control flow of the remote control centralized management device 7 described above, the target time is set to a specific time, but the target time can be set to "not set" by the setting means. May be good. When "not set" is set for the target time, the control flow of the remote control centralized management device 7 is as follows.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a control flow of the remote control centralized management device 7 according to a modified example of the air conditioning system according to the first embodiment.

Next, the control flow of the remote control centralized management device 7 according to the modified example of the air conditioning system according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. At the start of the control flow shown in FIG. 6, it is assumed that the air conditioner 1 is in the stopped state.

(Step S101a)
The control device 23 acquires the target temperature and target time information transmitted from the adapter 2 or the operation terminal 8. When the setting means is operated by the user and the target temperature and the target time are set, the adapter 2 or the operation terminal 8 transmits the information on the target temperature and the target time to the remote control centralized management device 7.

(Step S102a)
The control device 23 acquires the room temperature information transmitted from the adapter 2. The room temperature information is acquired from the room temperature sensor 3, and the adapter 2 transmits it to the remote control centralized management device 7 during periodic communication.

(Step S103a)
The control device 23 determines whether it is time to start the operation of the air conditioner 1. However, in the modification of the air conditioning system according to the first embodiment, "not set" is set for the target time. Therefore, for example, the control device 23 of the control device 23 is set to the air conditioner when the target temperature is input by the setting means. It is determined that it is time to start the operation of 1. Alternatively, the control device 23 displays the temperature transition with respect to the passage of time, the operation start button, and the cancel button on the display screen of the setting means, and starts the operation of the air conditioner 1 when the user presses the operation start button. Judge that it is time. If the control device 23 determines that it is time to start the operation of the air conditioner 1, the process proceeds to step S104a. On the other hand, if the control device 23 determines that it is not the time to start the operation of the air conditioner 1, the process returns to the process of step S101a.

(Step S104a)
The control device 23 transmits the operation start information to the air conditioner 1. When the air conditioner 1 receives the operation start information via the adapter 2, the air conditioner 1 starts the operation. Here, the operation start information includes the information of the set temperature, and the set temperature is set to a value such that the temperature change per unit time of the air-conditioned space does not exceed the healthy temperature slope.

(Step S105a)
The control device 23 acquires the room temperature information transmitted from the adapter 2. The room temperature information is acquired from the room temperature sensor 3, and the adapter 2 transmits it to the remote control centralized management device 7 during periodic communication.

(Step S106a)
The control device 23 determines whether the room temperature has reached the target temperature. When the control device 23 determines that the room temperature has reached the target temperature, the control is terminated. On the other hand, if the control device 23 determines that the room temperature has not reached the target temperature, the process proceeds to step S107a.

(Step S107a)
The control device 23 determines whether or not the update time has elapsed since the information on the set temperature was transmitted to the air conditioner 1 last time. Here, the update time is, for example, [(60 / health temperature slope) × minimum unit of set temperature] minutes. When the health temperature slope is 3 ° C./h (3 ° C. per hour) and the minimum unit of the set temperature is 0.5 ° C., the update time is (60/3) × 0.5 = 10 minutes. .. If it is determined that the update time has elapsed since the control device 23 previously transmitted the information on the set temperature to the air conditioner 1, the process proceeds to step S108a. On the other hand, if the control device 23 determines that the update time has not elapsed since the last time the information on the set temperature was transmitted to the air conditioner 1, the process returns to the process of step S105a.

(Step S108a)
The control device 23 transmits information on the (next) set temperature to the air conditioner 1. At this time, the temperature that is closer to the target temperature by the minimum unit of the set temperature from the current set temperature is defined as the (next) set temperature. For example, if the target temperature is 25 ° C, the current set temperature is 27 ° C, and the minimum unit of the set temperature is 0.5 ° C, the (next) set temperature will be 26.5 ° C. However, the set temperature is set so that the temperature change per unit time of the air-conditioned space does not exceed the healthy temperature slope.

If the control device 23 determines that the room temperature is below the threshold value, the process proceeds to step S205. On the other hand, if the control device 23 determines that the room temperature is equal to or higher than the threshold value, the process proceeds to step S204. In the second embodiment, the determination in step S203 is performed immediately after the target temperature and the target time are set by the user, but the determination is not limited thereto. For example, it may be performed from a preset time (for example, 1 hour) before the target time, or when the air conditioner 1 is equipped with a motion sensor, the motion sensor is the person in the living room 6. It may be done when it is detected.

(Step S204)
The control device 23 transmits the operation start information to the air conditioner 1. When the air conditioner 1 receives the operation start information via the adapter 2, the air conditioner 1 starts the operation. Here, the operation start information includes the information of the set temperature, and the target temperature is set in the set temperature.

(Step S205)
The control device 23 determines whether it is time to start the operation of the air conditioner 1 based on the target temperature, the target time, and the room temperature acquired in steps S201 and S202, and the preset health temperature inclination. judge. For example, the control device 23 determines that it is time to start the operation of the air conditioner 1 when (target time-current time) × healthy temperature slope ≦ (room temperature-target temperature) is satisfied. If the control device 23 determines that it is time to start the operation of the air conditioner 1, the process proceeds to step S207. On the other hand, if the control device 23 determines that it is not the time to start the operation of the air conditioner 1, the process proceeds to step S206.

(Step S206)
The control device 23 determines whether the current time has reached the target time. When the control device 23 determines that the current time has reached the target time, the control is terminated. On the other hand, if the control device 23 determines that the current time has not reached the target time, the process returns to the process of step S202.

Since the processing of steps S207 to S212 is the same as the processing of steps S105 to S110 of the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

For example, in the case of "temperature that puts a burden on the human body: 28 ° C or higher", "target temperature: 26 ° C", and "room temperature: 32 ° C", the control device 23 sets the target temperature of 26 ° C as the set temperature and sets the air conditioner. Information on the set temperature is transmitted to 1, and the air conditioner 1 is made to perform the cooling operation with the set temperature set to 26 ° C. Then, when the room temperature becomes less than 28 ° C., the body load reduction control described in the first embodiment is performed to bring the room temperature to 26 ° C.

Although not shown in FIG. 7, if the room temperature exceeds the threshold value during the processing of steps S207 to S212, the processing of steps S201 to 204 is performed, and if the room temperature becomes less than the threshold value, the processing of steps S207 to S212 is performed. It may be a control to restart.

Further, the above description is a case where the air conditioner 1 is in the stopped state at the start of the control flow shown in FIG. 7, but when the air conditioner 1 is in the operating state, the process of step S205 is skipped. It is the same except that.

As described above, in the air conditioning system according to the second embodiment, when the target temperature and the target time are set for the air conditioner 1 by the setting means, the temperature of the air conditioning target space is set in advance in the control device 23. While the temperature is equal to or higher than the threshold value, normal control is performed to transmit the target temperature to the air conditioner 1 as a set temperature, and when the temperature of the air conditioning target space is lower than the threshold value, physical load reduction control is performed.

According to the air conditioning system according to the second embodiment, normal control is performed while the temperature of the air-conditioned space is equal to or higher than the threshold value, and body load reduction control is performed while the temperature of the air-conditioned space is lower than the threshold value. It is possible to suppress a sudden temperature change while accelerating the arrival at.

Embodiment 3.
Hereinafter, the third embodiment will be described, but the description thereof will be omitted for those overlapping with the first embodiment, and the same parts or the corresponding parts as those in the first embodiment will be designated by the same reference numerals.

The body load reduction control of the first embodiment requires a longer time until the air-conditioned space reaches a comfortable temperature as compared with the normal control. In addition, the body load reduction control has no advantage when there are no people in the air-conditioned space. Therefore, in the third embodiment, the presence or absence of a person is discriminated, and the normal control and the body load reduction control are used properly. Specifically, in the third embodiment, when there is no person in the air-conditioned space, normal control is performed, and after a person comes to the air-conditioned space, physical load reduction control is performed.

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the air conditioning system according to the third embodiment. FIG. 9 is a functional block diagram of the air conditioner 1 of the air conditioner system according to the third embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 8, the air conditioner 1 includes a motion sensor 201 that detects a person in the living room 6. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the information on the presence or absence of a person in the living room 6 acquired by the motion sensor 201 is transmitted to the input unit 11 and processed as input information by the input unit 11. The motion sensor 201 is, for example, an infrared sensor or a visible camera, but is not limited thereto, and may be any other sensor as long as it can detect the presence or absence of a person.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a control flow of the remote control centralized management device 7 of the air conditioning system according to the third embodiment.

Hereinafter, the control flow of the remote control centralized management device 7 of the air conditioning system according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. At the start of the control flow shown in FIG. 10, it is assumed that the air conditioner 1 is in the stopped state. Further, at the start of the control flow shown in FIG. 10, it is assumed that there are no people in the living room 6. For example, when the living room 6 is used as a bedroom, the target temperature and the target time are set in order to cool the bedroom before going to bed, but the user does not enter the bedroom even when the operation start time is reached. ..

Since the processing of steps S301 to S307 is the same as the processing of steps S101 to S107 of the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

(Step S308)
The control device 23 acquires the information on the presence / absence of a person in the living room 6 transmitted from the adapter 2. Information on the presence or absence of a person in the living room 6 is acquired from the motion sensor 201, and the adapter 2 transmits it to the remote control centralized management device 7 during periodic communication.

(Step S309)
The control device 23 determines whether or not there is a person in the living room 6. If the control device 23 determines that there is a person in the living room 6, the process proceeds to step S311. On the other hand, if the control device 23 determines that there is no person in the living room 6, the process proceeds to step S310.

(Step S310)
The control device 23 sets the target temperature as the set temperature, and transmits information on the set temperature to the air conditioner 1.

(Step S311)
The control device 23 determines whether or not the update time has elapsed since the information on the set temperature was transmitted to the air conditioner 1 last time. Here, the update time is, for example, [(60 / health temperature slope) × minimum unit of set temperature] minutes. When the health temperature slope is 3 ° C./h (3 ° C. per hour) and the minimum unit of the set temperature is 0.5 ° C., the update time is (60/3) × 0.5 = 10 minutes. .. If it is determined that the update time has elapsed since the control device 23 previously transmitted the information on the set temperature to the air conditioner 1, the process proceeds to step S312. On the other hand, if it is determined that the update time has not elapsed since the control device 23 previously transmitted the information on the set temperature to the air conditioner 1, the process proceeds to step S313.

(Step S312)
The control device 23 transmits information on the (next) set temperature to the air conditioner 1. At this time, the temperature that is closer to the target temperature by the minimum unit of the set temperature from the current set temperature is defined as the (next) set temperature. For example, if the target temperature is 25 ° C, the current set temperature is 27 ° C, and the minimum unit of the set temperature is 0.5 ° C, the (next) set temperature will be 26.5 ° C. However, the set temperature is set so that the temperature change per unit time of the air-conditioned space does not exceed the healthy temperature slope.

(Step S313)
The control device 23 determines whether the current time has reached the target time. When the control device 23 determines that the current time has reached the target time, the control is terminated. On the other hand, if the control device 23 determines that the current time has not reached the target time, the process returns to the process of step S306.

For example, when the room temperature in the bedroom is 30 ° C at 21:00, the user uses a setting means to set the air conditioner 1 in the bedroom to "target temperature: 24 ° C" and "target time: 23:00". When the setting is made and the time when the user enters the bedroom is 22:00, the room temperature at 23:00 is 27 ° C. in the body load reduction control of the first embodiment. On the other hand, in the control of the third embodiment, since there are no people in the bedroom from 21:00 to 22:00, the room temperature is already 24 ° C., which is comfortable at 22:00.

Further, the control of the third embodiment is particularly effective when the room temperature is far from the target temperature and the current time is close to the target time. For example, if the user sets "target temperature: 23 ° C" and "target time: 23:00" at 22:00, when the current room temperature is 30 ° C, the air conditioning time is only one hour. , 7 ° C. lowering of room temperature is required. Further, when the health temperature slope is 3 ° C./h (3 ° C. per hour), it is impossible to reach the target temperature at room temperature by the target time. However, in the control of the third embodiment, the probability that the room temperature can be set to the target temperature by the target time is high by performing the normal control while there are no people in the air-conditioned space. If no person is detected in the air-conditioned space for 30 minutes from 22:00, the room temperature reaches 25.5 ° C. at 22:30 by performing normal control during that time. Then, when a person is detected in the air-conditioned space, the body load reduction control of the first embodiment is performed thereafter, so that the room temperature is lowered by 1.5 ° C. by 23:00 of the target time. Therefore, it is possible to set the room temperature to the target temperature by the target time.

As described above, the air conditioning system according to the third embodiment includes a human sensor 201 for detecting the presence or absence of a person in the air-conditioned space, and the target temperature and the target time are set for the air conditioner 1 by the setting means. In the control device 23, while the person in the air-conditioned space is not detected, the control device 23 performs normal control to transmit the target temperature as a set temperature to the air conditioner 1, and while detecting the person in the air-conditioned space. Performs physical load reduction control.

According to the air conditioning system according to the third embodiment, the normal control is performed while the person in the air-conditioned space is not detected, and the body load reduction control is performed while the person in the air-conditioned space is detected. It is possible to suppress sudden temperature changes while accelerating the time until the air-conditioned space reaches a comfortable temperature.

When the control device 23 determines that the current time has reached the target time, the control is terminated. On the other hand, if the control device 23 determines that the current time has not reached the target time, the process returns to the process of step S402.

(Step S405)
The control device 23 determines whether or not there is a person in the living room 6. If the control device 23 determines that there is a person in the living room 6, the process proceeds to step S406. On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that there is no person in the living room 6, the process proceeds to step S408.

In step S405, the control device 23 determines whether or not there is a person in the living room 6 based on whether the human feeling sensor detects a person in the living room 6 when the air conditioner 1 is provided with the human feeling sensor. It may be determined based on whether the air conditioner 1 is in operation, or the target temperature and the target for the air conditioner 401 within a preset time after the air conditioner 1 is stopped. The determination may be made based on whether the time is set. When the air conditioner 1 is in operation, it can be considered that there is a person in the living room 6. Further, assuming that the air conditioner 1 is stopped shortly before moving to the room, the target temperature and the target time for the air conditioner 401 are set within a preset time after the air conditioner 1 is stopped. Even if it is set, it can be considered that there is a person in the living room 6.

(Step S406)
The control device 23 acquires the temperature information of the living room 6 transmitted from the adapter 2. Information on the temperature of the living room 6 is acquired from the room temperature sensor 3, and the adapter 2 transmits it to the remote control centralized management device 7 during periodic communication.

(Step S407)
The control device 23 transmits the operation start information to the air conditioner 401. When the air conditioner 401 receives the operation start information via the adapter 402, the air conditioner 401 starts the operation. Here, the operation start information includes the information of the set temperature, and the room temperature of the living room 6 is set as the set temperature.

(Step S408)
The control device 23 transmits the operation start information to the air conditioner 401. When the air conditioner 401 receives the operation start information via the adapter 2, the air conditioner 401 starts the operation.

The control device 23 determines whether the temperature of the living room 406 has reached the target temperature. When the control device 23 determines that the temperature of the living room 406 has reached the target temperature, the control is terminated. On the other hand, if the control device 23 determines that the temperature of the living room 406 has not reached the target temperature, the process proceeds to step S411.

(Step S411)
The control device 23 determines whether or not the update time has elapsed since the last time the information on the set temperature was transmitted to the air conditioner 401. Here, the update time is, for example, [(60 / health temperature slope) × minimum unit of set temperature] minutes. When the health temperature slope is 3 ° C./h (3 ° C. per hour) and the minimum unit of the set temperature is 0.5 ° C., the update time is (60/3) × 0.5 = 10 minutes. .. If it is determined that the update time has elapsed since the control device 23 previously transmitted the set temperature information to the air conditioner 401, the process proceeds to step S412. On the other hand, if it is determined that the update time has not elapsed since the control device 23 previously transmitted the information on the set temperature to the air conditioner 401, the process proceeds to step S413.

At this time, the temperature that is closer to the target temperature by the minimum unit of the set temperature from the current set temperature is defined as the (next) set temperature. For example, if the target temperature is 25 ° C, the current set temperature is 27 ° C, and the minimum unit of the set temperature is 0.5 ° C, the (next) set temperature will be 26.5 ° C. However, the set temperature is set so that the temperature change per unit time of the air-conditioned space does not exceed the healthy temperature slope.

(Step S413)

When the control device 23 determines that the current time has reached the target time, the control is terminated. On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that the current time has not reached the target time, the process returns to the process of step S409.

For example, the living room 6 is the living room and the living room 406 is the bedroom. When the user spends time in the living room before going to bed, the target temperature and target time are set for the air conditioner 401 in the bedroom. At this time, when the living room is air-conditioned and the temperature is 23 ° C and the bedroom is not air-conditioned and the temperature is 28 ° C, the temperature of the bedroom does not easily drop in the body load reduction control of the first embodiment, and the user is required to exceed the target time. If you move to the bedroom early, the burden on the human body will increase, such as sweating before going to bed. Therefore, as in the fourth embodiment, while the user is in the living room of the moving source, the temperature of the destination bedroom is set to the same temperature as the living room of the moving source, and when the user moves to the bedroom, the physical load reduction control of the first embodiment is performed. By doing this, the temperature difference between the moving source room and the moving destination room becomes smaller, so it is possible to reduce the burden on the human body.

As described above, the air conditioning system according to the fourth embodiment includes two

air conditioning machines

1 and 401 for air-conditioning different air-conditioned spaces, and one air-conditioning machine 1 for air-conditioning one of the air-conditioned spaces is operated. The control device 23 sets the target temperature and the target time for the other air conditioner 401 from the setting means while the other air conditioner 401 that is in the state and air-conditions the other air-conditioned space is stopped. While detecting a person in one air-conditioned space, normal control is performed to transmit the temperature of one air-conditioned space as a set temperature to the other air conditioner 401, and the person in one air-conditioned space is sent. While not detected, the set temperature is calculated based on the target temperature, target time, and the temperature of the other air-conditioned space so that the temperature change per unit time of the other air-conditioned space does not exceed the healthy temperature gradient. Then, the body load reduction control is performed to transmit the set temperature to the other air conditioner 401 at each update time.

According to the air conditioning system according to the fourth embodiment, while a person is detected in one of the air-conditioned spaces that are the moving source, the other air-conditioned space that is the moving destination is in the same temperature environment as the one air-conditioned space by normal control. Create in the air-conditioned space. Therefore, the temperature change between the destination and the source can be reduced.

Embodiment 5.
Hereinafter, the fifth embodiment will be described, but the description thereof will be omitted for those overlapping with the first embodiment, and the same parts or the corresponding parts as those in the first embodiment will be designated by the same reference numerals.

When the heating operation of the air conditioner 1 is stopped in winter, the temperature of the air-conditioned space may drop sharply depending on the airtightness of the house. However, since humans become insensitive to temperature changes, especially during sleep, it is extremely difficult to notice even if a sudden temperature drop occurs in the air-conditioned space. In addition, the temperature of the air taken into the lungs is important to prevent asthma attacks. While sleeping, the body feels warm because it is in the duvet, but the temperature taken up by the lungs is low, which increases the risk of asthma attacks depending on the temperature transition. However, there are many users who want to stop the operation of the air conditioner 1 while sleeping to save power. Therefore, in the fifth embodiment, when it is learned that the airtightness of the house is low, even if the stop is set by the setting means, the heating operation with the capacity suppressed for a while is performed, so that the temperature of the air-conditioned space changes suddenly. By stopping the operation of the air conditioner 1 after the temperature of the air-conditioned space is reduced to a certain temperature difference from the outside air temperature, the burden on the human body is reduced.

FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the air conditioning system according to the fifth embodiment. FIG. 14 is a functional block diagram of the air conditioner 1 of the air conditioning system according to the fifth embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 13, the air conditioner 1 is provided with an outdoor unit 501, and the outdoor unit 501 is provided with an outside air temperature sensor 502 for detecting the outside air temperature. The outside air temperature sensor 502 is, for example, a thermistor, but is not limited thereto. Then, as shown in FIG. 14, the outside air temperature information acquired by the outside air temperature sensor 502 is transmitted to the input unit 11 and processed as input information by the input unit 11.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a control flow of the remote control centralized management device 7 of the air conditioning system according to the fifth embodiment.

Hereinafter, the control flow of the remote control centralized management device 7 of the air conditioning system according to the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. At the start of the control flow shown in FIG. 15, it is assumed that the air conditioner 1 is in the operating state.

(Step S501)
The control device 23 determines whether or not the stop information has been received. When the setting means is operated by the user and the stop is set for the air conditioner 1, the adapter 2 or the operation terminal 8 transmits the stop information to the remote control centralized management device 7. If the control device 23 determines that the stop information has been received, the process proceeds to step S502. On the other hand, if the control device 23 determines that the stop information has not been received, the process of step S501 is performed again.

(Step S502)
The control device 23 acquires the information on the outside air temperature transmitted from the adapter 2. Information on the outside air temperature is acquired from the outside air temperature sensor 502, and the adapter 2 transmits it to the remote control centralized management device 7 during periodic communication.

(Step S503)
The control device 23 acquires the room temperature information transmitted from the adapter 2. The room temperature information is acquired from the room temperature sensor 3, and the adapter 2 transmits it to the remote control centralized management device 7 during periodic communication.

(Step S504)
The control device 23 is a stop that reduces the burden on the human body based on the outside air temperature, the room temperature, the preset health temperature inclination, and the airtightness of the house acquired in steps S502 and S503 (hereinafter referred to as assist heating). It is determined whether it is necessary to perform (referred to). Here, the airtightness and heat insulating properties of the housing performance are such that when the room temperature is uniform while the air conditioner 1 is operating, the heat balance of the room in which the air conditioner 1 is operating is balanced. Therefore, it can be estimated from the temperature difference between the room temperature and the outside temperature at this time and the amount of heat input (blow-off temperature and blow-out air volume) by the air conditioner 1. At this time, the influence of sunlight and the influence of other heat sources such as indoor home appliances may be taken into consideration. If the control device 23 determines that it is necessary to perform assist heating, the process proceeds to step S505. On the other hand, when the control device 23 determines that it is not necessary to perform heating assist heating, the control is terminated. Since assist heating is effective only when there are people in the air-conditioned space, it is possible to include whether or not there are people in the air-conditioned space as a condition for determining whether assist heating is necessary, and learn in advance. The bedtime of the user may be included.

(Step S505)
The control device 23 calculates the set temperature based on the outside air temperature, the room temperature, the healthy temperature gradient, and the airtightness of the house so that the temperature does not change beyond the healthy temperature gradient, and the information of the set temperature in the air conditioner 1 is obtained. To send.

Even if the control device 23 determines in step S504 that it is necessary to perform assist heating, if the user again sets the stop for the air conditioner 1, the user's intention is respected. , The assist heating may be canceled and the air conditioner 1 may be stopped.

For example, when the user sets the air conditioner 1 to stop before going to bed, if the outside temperature is 0 ° C and the room temperature is 23 ° C, the health temperature gradient of 3 ° C / h is based on the airtightness of the house. When it is determined that there is a temperature change exceeding 3 ° C., that is, a temperature change exceeding 3 ° C. per hour, assist heating is performed. As a result, sudden temperature changes during sleep can be avoided, and for users who are concerned about sudden temperature changes and always operate the air conditioner 1 at bedtime, the operating time of the air conditioner 1 can be reduced. Can save electricity.

As described above, the air conditioning system according to the fifth embodiment is provided with an outside temperature sensor 502 for detecting the outside temperature, and when the air conditioning machine 1 is set to stop from the setting means for the air conditioning machine 1 in the operating state. , The control device 23 determines whether or not it is necessary to perform a stop that reduces the burden on the human body based on the outside temperature, the temperature of the air-conditioned space, and the airtightness of the house, and reduces the burden on the human body. When it is determined that it is necessary to stop, the set temperature is calculated based on the outside temperature, the temperature of the air-conditioned space, and the airtightness of the house, and the set temperature is transmitted to the air conditioner 1 to the human body. When it is determined that the stop with reduced burden is not necessary, the stop information is transmitted to the air conditioner 1.

According to the air conditioning system according to the fifth embodiment, when it is determined that it is necessary to reduce the burden on the human body, the set temperature is set based on the outside temperature, the temperature of the air-conditioned space, and the airtightness of the house.
