Description

本発明は、空気調和機の動作状態を外部に表示する表示装置に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a display device that displays an operating state of an air conditioner to the outside.

従来のこの種の表示装置を例えば図2を用いて説明すると、空気調和機の運転時,室内側本体に取り付けてある光度検出装置11が部屋の明るさに応じて電気信号を出力し,この電気信号は比較器13で基準値と比較判定され,高Hと低Lの2制御信号が出力される。L信号時は,LSI14内蔵の演算回路により記憶回路の第2の出力モ−ドにオン信号が出力され,出力装置15内蔵のトランジスタの出力パルス幅が大きくなり,表示灯16の発光ダイオ−ドの光度が増す。逆に比較器13からの制御信号がH信号の時,LSI14内蔵の演算回路により記憶回路の第1の出力モ−ドにオン信号が出力され,出力装置15内蔵のトランジスタの出力パルス幅が小さくなり表示灯16の発光ダイオ−ドの光度が減少する。以上のように周囲の明るさを検出し、表示の明るさを制御している物があった(特許文献1参照)。   A conventional display device of this type will be described with reference to FIG. 2, for example. When the air conditioner is in operation, the light intensity detection device 11 attached to the indoor side body outputs an electrical signal according to the brightness of the room. The electric signal is compared with the reference value by the comparator 13, and two control signals of high H and low L are output. When the signal is L, an ON signal is output to the second output mode of the memory circuit by the arithmetic circuit built in the LSI 14, the output pulse width of the transistor built in the output device 15 is increased, and the light emitting diode of the indicator lamp 16 The brightness of. Conversely, when the control signal from the comparator 13 is an H signal, an ON signal is output to the first output mode of the memory circuit by the arithmetic circuit built in the LSI 14, and the output pulse width of the transistor built in the output device 15 is small. The light intensity of the light emitting diode of the short indicator lamp 16 decreases. As described above, there is an object that detects ambient brightness and controls display brightness (see Patent Document 1).

また、従来のこの種の表示装置を図3を用いて説明する。車載電子機器を複合的に制御するためのマイコン26に時計回路25を接続する。車載電子機器の動作指令や動作確認等を行うための表示器28を設ける。マイコン26と表示器28の間に実質的な表示輝度を増減させための制御回路27を介在させる。制御回路27は、時計回路25から出力される時刻データに対応して多段階または連続的に制御して表示器28の表示輝度を制御する。夕刻頃にライトのオン/オフするかという微妙な時間帯の場合に、昼用の表示輝度では明るくて眩しすぎて表示内容が確認し難く、夜用の表示輝度では暗くて表示内容が見えにくい状態になってしまわないように表示器28の表示の輝度が変化する。以上のように時間帯により表示の明るさを制御している物があった(特許文献2参照)。   A conventional display device of this type will be described with reference to FIG. A clock circuit 25 is connected to a microcomputer 26 for controlling the in-vehicle electronic device in a complex manner. A display 28 is provided for performing operation commands, operation confirmation, and the like of the in-vehicle electronic device. A control circuit 27 is provided between the microcomputer 26 and the display 28 to increase or decrease the substantial display luminance. The control circuit 27 controls the display luminance of the display 28 by controlling in multiple steps or continuously in accordance with the time data output from the clock circuit 25. In the delicate time zone of turning on / off the light around the evening, the display brightness for daytime is too bright and dazzling, making it difficult to check the display content, and the display brightness for night time is too dark to see the display content. The display brightness of the display 28 changes so as not to enter the state. As described above, there is an object whose display brightness is controlled by the time zone (see Patent Document 2).

また従来のこの種の表示装置を図4を用いて説明する。運転及び各種設定指示を行う操作部34と、室温等の各種情報を表示する表示部33と、前記表示部の表示の明るさを切り替える表示明るさ切替手段32と、機器の運転状態を判断する運転状態判断部31とを備え、前記表示明るさ切替手段32は前記運転状態判断部31からの信号に応じて表示部33の明るさを切り替えるようにしている。以上のように、操作したときに表示の明るさを変更する物があった(特許文献3参照)。

上記説明より明らかなように本発明は、機器の操作時にのみ動作状態の表示を行うことで、電気代の削減、表示装置の長寿命化を実現できる。また、周囲の明るさの検出を行うことなく適切な明るさでの表示を実現できる。   As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the electricity bill and extend the life of the display device by displaying the operation state only when the device is operated. In addition, display with appropriate brightness can be realized without detecting ambient brightness.

第1の発明は、リモコン等からの機器の操作信号をきっかけとして、一定時間のみ動作状態の表示を行うことで、安価に日常生活の妨げになることが無く、不要な表示によるクレームを防止することができる表示装置を実現することができる。   According to the first aspect of the present invention, the operation state is displayed only for a certain period of time triggered by a device operation signal from a remote controller or the like, so that daily life is not hindered at a low cost and claims due to unnecessary display are prevented. A display device that can be used can be realized.

第2の発明は、機器の操作時にのみ動作状態の表示を時刻による適切な明るさで行うことで、周囲の明るさの検出を行うことなく表示装置を制御でき、安価にその時刻に対応した適切な明るさの表示装置を実現することができる。   According to the second aspect of the present invention, the display device can be controlled without detecting ambient brightness by displaying the operating state with appropriate brightness according to the time only when the device is operated.
