  • FIG. 4 is a view illustrating a direction of an airflow generated by the vane controlling method of an air conditioner according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of a method of controlling vanes of a ceiling type air conditioner, examples of which are illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4 .
  • the method of controlling vanes of the ceiling type air conditioner in order to increase feeling of satisfaction of people in a room with regard to the indoor air conditioning when the cooling/heating is initiated, controls a plurality of vanes 21 to 24 simultaneously and supplies a direct airflow.
  • the method is characterized in that a rate of the indoor airflow varies as time passes to minimize discomfort of people in a room due to the indoor airflow.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the method of controlling vanes of the ceiling type air conditioner in a heating mode, and the method of controlling vanes of a ceiling type air conditioner according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3 as follows.
  • a user starts the heating mode, and it is determined whether or not the indoor temperature is under a predetermined temperature (S30).
  • the angle of all the vanes 21 to 24 is controlled to be a maximum angle, that is, the fourth angle X4 such that the heated airflow rapidly reaches the floor.
  • the rate of the airflow is increased to be a maximum rate to supply a direct airflow for increasing body temperatures of people in the indoor within a short period of time.
  • the angle of all the vanes 21 to 24 is adjusted to be a third angle X3, less than the fourth angle X4, to decrease the rate of the airflow (S38).
  • the angle of all the vanes 21 to 24 is adjusted to be a second angle X2, less than the third angle X3, to further decrease the rate of the airflow (S42).
