Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wireless remote control controller for an air conditioner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a wireless remote control control device for an air conditioner has been increasingly applied for its convenience and high added value.

Conventionally, a wireless remote control controller of this type generally has a structure as shown in FIG.

The structure will be described below with reference to FIG. As shown in the figure, an air conditioner 101 and a wireless remote control device (hereinafter abbreviated as remote controller) 102 are provided, and when the remote controller 102 has a request for operation of the air conditioner 101, a control signal thereof is sent to the air conditioner 101. The signal is transmitted to the built-in signal receiving means 103.

The signal receiving means 103 converts the output control signal into an electrical control signal and outputs it to the control means 104.

The control means 104 controls an air conditioning load such as a fan motor according to the output control signal.

The manual operation means 105 built in the air conditioner 101 directly controls the air conditioner 101 separately from the remote controller 102. When an operation request is made, an electric control signal is sent to the control means 104. Output.

The control means 104 is a manual control means 105.
The air-conditioning load such as the fan motor is controlled by the control signal output from the remote controller 102 as in the case of the remote controller 102.

With the above structure, the air conditioner 104 is operated by the remote controller 102 and the manual operation means 105.

The manual operation means 105 is generally a remote controller 10.
It is used for emergency operation when the battery is dead or lost.

[0011]

In such a conventional wireless remote control controller, since the signal receiving means 103 is built in the air conditioner 101,
Since the distance between the remote controller 102 and the reception signal means 103 is long like an air conditioner or a ventilation fan embedded in the ceiling, it is difficult for the control signal transmitted from the remote controller 102 to reach the signal reception means 103. there were.

Further, in the conventional wireless remote control control device, the manual control means 105 is the air conditioner 1.
Since it is built in 01, when it is installed at a high place that cannot be reached like an air conditioner or a ventilation fan embedded in the ceiling, the manual operation means 105
Had a problem that it was difficult to operate.

The present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the signal receiving means and the manual operating means incorporated in the air conditioner are put out of the air conditioner and installed at a place easily reachable. An object of the present invention is to provide a wireless remote control control device that can be operated by a user.

[0014]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a wireless remote control controller of the present invention includes an air conditioner, a wireless remote control device for operating the air conditioner, and an outside of the air conditioner. A signal receiving unit installed in the air conditioner for converting a control signal transmitted from the wireless remote control device into an electric signal capable of directly controlling the air conditioner; and the wireless remote control device installed outside the air conditioner. Separately, a manual operation means for converting an operation request for operating the air conditioner into an electric signal, the signal receiving means, and a control signal output from the manual operation means are combined and transmitted to the air conditioner. Signal transmission means,
It is a wireless remote control control device comprising control means which is built in the air conditioner and controls the air conditioner by an electric control signal transmitted by the signal transmission means.

[0015]

According to the present invention, the signal receiving means and the manual operating means are installed outside the air conditioner, and the signal receiving means and the manual operating means are electrically connected to each other through the signal transmitting means. By outputting to the control means built in the machine, the signal receiving means can be installed near the remote controller, and the manual operating means can be installed in a place easily reachable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the remote controller 2 is means for transmitting a control signal when an operation request for the air conditioner 1 is made.

The signal receiving means 3 is provided outside the air conditioner 1 and converts the control signal transmitted from the remote controller 2 into an electric signal.

The manual operation means 5 is installed outside the air conditioner 1 and is a means for converting an operation request into an electric signal when manually operating the air conditioner 1.

The signal transmitting means 6 is a signal receiving means 3 and
It is a means for synthesizing an electric control signal output from the manual operation means 5 and transmitting it to the control means 4 built in the air conditioner 1.

The control means 4 is means for analyzing the transmitted electrical control signal and controlling the air conditioning load such as a fan motor.

Further, a specific circuit will be described with reference to FIG. The control means 4 comprises a microcomputer 11 and its peripheral circuit 12.

The signal transmission means 6 includes a power supply line 13 (VDD and G
ND) and the signal line 14 in one circuit.

The manual operation means 5 comprises a pull-up resistor 15 and a switch 16, which are connected to the power supply line and the signal line of the signal transmission means 6, respectively.

The switch 16 is an emergency operation switch,
It is used as an operation / stop operation of the air conditioner 1.

In the above structure, the control signal transmitted from the remote controller 2 is converted into an electric control signal by the signal receiving means 3 and output to the signal line 14.

Similarly, by pressing the switch 16, an electric control signal is output to the signal line 14.

These control signals are transmitted to the microcomputer 11 through the signal line 14, and the microcomputer 11 analyzes the transmitted control signals and outputs them to the peripheral circuit 14 such as a fan motor.

[0029]

As is apparent from the above embodiments, according to the present invention, the signal receiving means and the manual operating means are installed outside the air conditioner, and the signal receiving means and the manual operating means are electrically connected. A wireless remote in which the signal receiving means can be installed near the remote controller and the manual operating means can be installed within easy reach by outputting to the control means built in the air conditioner through the connected signal transmitting means. A control device can be provided.
