Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to control an air conditioner with consideration of the organic rhythm of a human body by providing operation discriminating means for detecting the time of getting into bed, time measuring means and room temperature setting means which shifts the set temperature to a lower temperature at the time of getting into bed, and then shifts the set temperature to an upper temperature after elapse of a definite time measured by the time measuring means. CONSTITUTION:An indoor unit 4 connected to an outdoor unit constitutes a refrigerating cycle and performs cooling operation or heating operation. Control means 8 corrects a set temperature in accordance with signals produced by operation discriminating means 6 and time measuring means 7. When the time of getting into bed is detected by operation discriminating means 6, room temperature setting means 5 shifts a set temperature Tset which is automatically or manually set in accordance with an outdoor temperature and the like at that time to a temperature lower by a correct value theta1 deg. than the set temperature Tset, and shifts the lower set temperature Tset to a temperature upper by a correct value theta2 deg. after elapse of definite time t1 measured by time measuring means 7. Consequently, the room temperature is controlled in accordance with the organic rhythm of a human body, thereby making it possible to create a comfortable circumstances for sleeping at the time of getting into bed.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Application The present invention relates to a control device for an air conditioner that controls a comfortable temperature during sleep. Figure 5 shows an example of conventional cooling sleep mode control.

In Fig. 5, when entering the bed at time to, the "good night" button of the air conditioner is pressed, and at the same time the temperature (Tset) is automatically or manually set using the outdoor temperature, etc.
However, the problem that the invention attempts to solve is to increase the temperature by 2θdeg based on the standard and maintain it until the time of waking up (tl). The standard for temperature control during operation is set to the room temperature when you go to bed, that is, the comfortable temperature in your daily life.There is a possibility that you will wake up feeling hot due to an increase in the claw value caused by bedding such as futons and towel blankets that you wear while sleeping. In addition, the temperature is raised after going to bed and then maintained at a constant temperature, so there is a possibility of awakening due to the chilly temperature caused by the decrease in the metabolic rate of the human body at dawn. The present invention has the problem of not being able to create a comfortable sleeping environment that corresponds to the human body's biological rhythm.In view of the above problems, we have considered the human body's biological rhythm when going to bed.11! ! L. The purpose is to create a comfortable sleeping environment when going to bed by controlling the set temperature. In addition, the present invention (in view of the above-mentioned problems) aims to create a comfortable sleeping environment at the time of waking up by controlling the set temperature in consideration of the biological rhythm of the human body at the time of waking up. Means To solve the above problems, the air conditioner of the present invention includes: a room temperature setting means for setting the indoor temperature; an operation determining means for determining when the cooling sleep mode is activated; and a measuring means for measuring the elapsed time since the cooling sleep mode is activated. control for detecting a signal from a time measuring means and the operation determining means, lowering the set temperature by a first temperature by the room temperature setting means, and then increasing it by a second temperature by the time measuring means after a certain period of time has elapsed; The present invention also includes a room temperature setting means for setting the indoor temperature, an operation determination means for determining when the cooling sleep mode is activated, and a clock means for detecting the time.
The device is provided with a control means for determining by the operation determination means that sleep driving is in progress and for raising the set temperature by a constant temperature by the room temperature setting means when it is dawn by the timekeeping means. ζ Even if the following is the invention ζ
By controlling the set temperature in consideration of the human body's biological rhythm when going to bed, it is possible to create a comfortable sleeping environment when going to bed. By controlling this, a comfortable sleeping environment can be created when waking up.Example Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, the first embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In FIG. 1(a), l is an indoor heat exchange image, 2 is an air blower for the indoor heat exchanger, and 3 is an indoor air blower circuit. , Even if the indoor unit 4 is constituted by these, this indoor unit 4 may be of a well-known configuration, or may be connected to a well-known outdoor unit (not shown) to constitute a well-known refrigeration cycle. Figure 1 (
In b), 5 is a room temperature setting means, 6 is an operation determination means 7 is a time measurement means, and 8 is a control means for correcting the set temperature based on the signals from the operation determination means 6 and the time measurement means 7. This figure shows an example of the set temperature controlled by the above configuration.
For the temperature (Tset) that is automatically or manually set according to the outdoor temperature etc. at that time,
The room temperature setting means 5 sets Tse by the correction value θ+ deg.
t is shifted downward, and then the time measuring means 7 shifts t
Even if the temperature is shifted upward by θadeg after one hour, the room temperature can be controlled according to the human body's biological rhythm when going to bed, and a comfortable sleeping environment can be created when going to bed. According to FIG. 4, the second embodiment of the present invention
An example will be described. Here, the same symbols as ζ are given to the same items as in the first embodiment, and the explanation is omitted. Fig. 4 shows an example of the set temperature controlled by the above configuration. When θd is set, the set temperature is set by the room temperature setting means 5.
Even if only the EG is shifted upward, the room temperature can be controlled according to the biological rhythm of the human body when waking up, and a comfortable sleeping environment can be created when waking up. Control device CL for an air conditioner according to the invention When entering the bed is detected by the operation determining means, the set temperature is shifted downward by the room temperature setting means, and then shifted upward by the time measuring means after a certain period of time has elapsed. It is possible to control the body by considering the biological rhythm of the human body. As a result, it is possible to perform comfortable air conditioning without waking up due to the steamy heat when going to bed.In addition, the air conditioner control device of the present invention determines that the air conditioner is in sleep mode using the operation determination means. Moreover, by shifting the set temperature upward using the room temperature setting means when it is dawn using the timekeeping means, it is possible to perform control that takes into account the biological rhythm of the human body at the time of waking up. It is possible to provide comfortable air conditioning without
