Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a control device for an air conditioner.

[Prior Art] FIG. 4 is an overall configuration diagram showing a control device for an air conditioner previously filed, for example, shown in Japanese Patent Application No. 1-173205, and FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the control device. FIG. 6 is a flow chart for controlling the operation.

In FIGS. 4 and 5, (1) is a room temperature detecting means for detecting room temperature, and a temperature sensitive resistance element (2) for detecting temperature.
It is composed of. (3) is a thermal sensation expression means,
It is composed of a plurality of switch parts (4) representing the "hot" and "cold" thermal sensations. (5) is a set temperature determining means, which is a room temperature detecting means (1) and a thermal sensation expressing means (3).
Is a means for determining the set temperature in accordance with the input from each of the above, and the detected room temperature at that time is the set temperature determined according to the number of times the thermal sensation expressing means (3) is operated within a certain period of time. It is a means for changing it on the basis of, and is configured in the microcomputer (6). The microcomputer (6) consists of an input circuit (7), a CPU
(8), a memory (9) and an output circuit (10).

The input of the switch section (4) and the output of the temperature sensitive resistance element (11) as a temperature detector for detecting the room temperature are input to the input circuit (7) through an A / D converter (12). . The operation of the compressor (13) is controlled by the output from the output circuit (10). (14) is an operation switch for inputting operation / stop.

Next, the operation of the conventional control device will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG. Figure 6 shows a micro computer (6).
Is a flow chart including the program of the set temperature determining means (5) stored in the memory (9) of FIG.

The case of heating operation will be described below. In the flow chart shown in FIG. 6, when the operation switch (14) is turned on, the flow shown in FIG. 6 starts. Step (20
The initial setting temperature is set in step 1) and the process proceeds to step (202).
At step (202), the room sound detected by the temperature-sensitive resistance element (2) is input, at step (203) the set temperature and room temperature are compared, and if the room temperature is lower than the set temperature, compression is made at step (204). If the machine is on, and if it is higher, the step (205) outputs the compressor on / off command via the output circuit (10) according to the compressor off operation mode. Step (20
6) and subsequent steps are the flow as the set temperature determining means (5). If there is a switch input at step (206), "when it is hot" switch input at step (207) or "when it is cold"
Judge whether switch input. If it is judged that the switch input is "when it is hot", the process proceeds to step (208). The switch input determines how many times the switch has been input within a certain time (x minutes), and the switch (209) is input for the first switch input. ), Set the temperature slightly lower than the current room temperature, for example, by 1deg. If it is judged in step (208) that the switch input has been received twice or more within a certain time (x minutes), the process proceeds to step (210). The set temperature is increased relative to the present room temperature,
For example, set it lower by 2deg. If the switch (207) judges that the switch is "when it is cold", that is, when it is "hot", the process proceeds to step (211) without inputting the switch.
"When it is hot" As with the switch input, a certain time (x
It is determined how many times the switch input is performed during each minute), and at the first switch input, the set temperature is set slightly higher than room temperature by, for example, 1 deg in step (212). In the case of two or more times, the set temperature is increased with respect to room temperature in step (213), for example, set higher by 2 deg.

From the next time, at the changed set temperature, the step (20
The flow from 2) controls the on / off of the compressor, and the environment is controlled so that the set temperature and room temperature are constant. In this way, if the user inputs the degree of thermal sensation by the number of times the switch is pressed within a certain time (x minutes), it is determined that the feeling is stronger when the number of times is large, and the set temperature is accordingly adjusted. Can be changed.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In a conventional air conditioner control device, since the sensation to be input is only a thermal sensation, the range that can be operated only by inputting the sensation is limited to the cooling mode and the heating mode. However, there is a problem that the humidity factor, which is indispensable for air conditioning, cannot be adjusted.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and by changing the set humidity according to the number of times the user operates the moist-heat sensation expressing means that expresses the sensation of moist-heat felt by the user. , It is possible to input the degree of the user's feeling of heat and humidity, and to provide a comfortable living environment that suits the user's more definite intentions.

[Means for Solving the Problem] An air conditioner according to the present invention includes a humidity detecting means for detecting humidity, a moist heat sensation expressing means for expressing a sensation of moist heat, and outputs of the humidity detecting means and the sensation for humidity sensation respectively. A set humidity determining means for determining the set humidity according to the above is provided, and the set humidity determining means outputs the set humidity output according to the number of times the switch part, which is a moist heat sensation expressing means, is operated within a certain time. The setting humidity determining means for changing the humidity on the basis of is set.

The initial setting humidity is set with, and the process proceeds to step (102). The humidity detected by the humidity sensor (16) is input in step (102), and the set humidity is compared with step (103). If the humidity is higher than the set humidity, step (104)
Press to turn on the compressor, turn off the humidifier, and if it is low, press step (105) to adjust the operation mode to turn off the compressor and turn on the humidifier.
An on / off command for the compressor (13) and the humidifier (19) is issued via the (10).

The flow from step (106) onward is as the set humidity determining means (18). If there is a switch input at step (106), it is determined at step (107) whether the switch input is "when steaming" or when "drying". "When steaming"
If it is judged that the switch input is input, the process proceeds to step (108), and it is judged how many times the switch input has been made within a fixed time (x minutes), and the first switch input is switched to the step (10).
Proceed to 9) and set the set humidity slightly lower than the current humidity by 10%. If it is judged in step (108) that the switch input has been made twice or more within a certain time (x minutes), step (11)
Go to 0) and set the humidity 20% higher than the current humidity.
Set low. If the switch (107) determines that the switch is “when dry”, the process proceeds to step (111) to determine how many times switch input has been made within a certain time (x minutes), as in the case of switch input “when steaming”. Then, for the first switch input, in step (112), the set humidity is set slightly higher than the humidity by 10%. If it is more than twice, in step (113), set the set humidity to be 20% higher than the humidity.

From the next time, step again with the changed set humidity (102)
