Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain a comfortable residential atmosphere for 24 hours a day by providing an output device which drives a capacity varying means. a set time detector and a means for detecting the operation start time being set depending upon living events such as outing and homecoming. CONSTITUTION:When a living event judging device judges it is 'resing mode', cooling (or heating) is started a certain time period before the resing time in order to attain a comfortable room temperature. When it is judged 'outing/ homecoming mode', the air flow value is lowered by a air flow changing device, and cooling (or heating) is carried out at the minimum capacity with saving energy, and cooling (or heating) is started at a maximum capacity of an air conditioner a specified time period prior to the homecoming time and stopped after a certain time period has elapsed. For example, when the air conditioner is operated in 'rising mode', cooling (or heating) is started a specified time period prior to the rising time and a comfortable room temperature is attained by the rising time. When the air conditioner is operated in 'outing/homecoming mode', cooling (or heating) is carried out so as to avoid steep fall (or rise) in the room temperature for saving input energy. Thereby, the residential space in a room is maintained comfortable.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to operation control of air conditioners that adapts to human life scenes. I am using the air conditioner by changing various settings for its operating status.
4 Problems that the invention aims to solve The basic scenes of human life are “waking up” and “going out”
There are five daily life scenes, including turning points in life such as "going home" and "going to bed", and five daily life scenes, each of which requires a comfortable living environment. It is necessary to improve the operability of the combination of "going home" and "going home" as one life scene. The present invention takes into consideration the above-mentioned conventional problems, and provides a means for solving the above-mentioned problems by realizing a 24-hour comfortable living environment that is comfortable in five living situations without impairing the advantages of the conventional technology. In order to solve the problem, the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, includes an output means for outputting a signal judged by a life scene judgment means, a driving start time detecting means, and a setting for detecting and outputting the elapse of a set time from the start of driving. In an air conditioner equipped with a time detection means, a compressor capacity variable means, etc., mode 1 is determined by the determination means among the five modes of the life scene.An output signal is output and the operation start time is detected. or a set time detection means, and an output means for driving the ability variable means.
Teams determined to have air conditioning (or heating) a certain period of time before waking up to make the room temperature comfortable.

Next, when the life scene is determined to be ``going out/returning home mode'', the air volume value is lowered by the air volume change means (i.e., cooling (or heating) is performed while saving input energy in minimum capacity operation.
The air conditioner is cooled (or heated) at its maximum capacity for a certain period of time before returning home, and the operation is stopped after a certain period of time. For reference and explanation, Fig. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram of an indoor unit showing one embodiment of the present invention. a 3 is the pipe through which the refrigerant flows.a Furthermore, even if the indoor unit is equipped with an operation control section having a microcomputer (hereinafter referred to as LSI) programmed with a timer function, temperature control function, etc. , the operation control circuit configuration will be explained here. Components that are the same as those in FIG. 2 will be described with the same reference numerals. In the same figure, B, C

4. Create the basic operating time of LSI 24, and LSI 24 corresponds to set time detection means, set temperature slide means, and output means.Next, we will explain life scene control with reference to Figure 4. Classified into 1, ``waking up,'' 2, ``going out/coming home,'' 3, and ``
4. Going to bed, 4. Normal driving. Human life revolves around these 5 things. When the air conditioner is operated in "wake-up" mode, it starts cooling (heating) a certain amount of time before the wake-up time.
Even if the room temperature is comfortable when you wake up after starting operation, the air conditioner is operated in "going out/returning home" mode. Enter cooling (heating) operation to the extent that the room temperature does not rise (decrease) rapidly. To save energy, the air conditioner performs rapid cooling (heating) a certain amount of time before returning home.1. X, it is also possible to switch to normal operation after reaching a comfortable space quickly.
Next, when the air conditioner is operated in the "sleep" mode, it will continue to perform cooling (heating) operation suitable for sleeping until the set time.
X: Stop operation when the set time is reached. Then, the daily life pattern of ``waking up'', ``going out/returning home'', ``normal'', ``sleeping'', and the driving cycle are repeated. Based on the above explanation, the control circuit shown in FIG. 3 controls the contents of the flowchart shown in FIG. 5. Step 1 is the "Wake up" mode, Step 2 is the "Going out/Going home" mode, Step 3 is the "Normal" mode, and Step 4 is the "Sleeping" mode. By controlling air conditioners according to people's daily life situations, we can maintain a comfortable room temperature throughout the day, from when we wake up, when we go to bed, and when we go to bed. You can maintain a comfortable living space. Also, it is possible to reduce the noise when you wake up and when you go to bed, which requires silence.
