【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、エアコンやファンヒータ等の冷暖房器の遠隔操作に用いられる、冷暖房器用リモコン送信機に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、エアコンやファンヒータ等の冷暖房器の高機能化が進む中、これらの機器の冷暖房や温度の設定等を、遠隔操作用のリモコン送信機で行うことが増えている。
【0003】
このような従来の冷暖房器用リモコン送信機について、図4及び図5を用いて説明する。
【0004】
図4は従来の冷暖房器用リモコン送信機のブロック図、図5は同外観図であり、同図において、1は半透明な複数の操作キーが配列された操作部、2は操作部1の操作内容を表示するLCD等の表示部で、操作部1には通常使用されることの多い、遠隔操作する冷暖房器の運転を切/入する操作キー1Aや、冷暖房器の運転状態を冷暖房や除湿、空気清浄等に切換える操作キー1B、温度設定用の操作キー1C,1Dが配列されている。
【0005】
なお、操作部1は扉として前後に開閉可能なように構成されており、日付や時刻設定、或いはタイマー設定等の使用頻度の比較的少ない操作キーは、操作部1の後方に配列されている。
【0006】
そして、3は操作部1や表示部2が接続されたマイコン等の制御部で、制御部3には冷暖房器を遠隔操作するためのリモコンデータが記憶されると共に、赤外線発光ダイオード等の送信部4が接続されて、リモコン送信機が構成されている。
【0007】
以上の構成において、操作部1を操作すると、これによって制御部3が記憶したリモコンデータを電気信号として出力し、この電気信号から送信部4が赤外線のリモコン信号を送信するように構成されている。
【0008】
例えば、操作部1の操作キー1Aを押圧操作すると、制御部3から運転を切/入するリモコンデータが電気信号として出力され、この電気信号によって送信部4が赤外線のリモコン信号を送信し、これを冷暖房器が受信して運転を開始または停止する。
【0009】
また、操作キー1Bを押圧操作すると、表示部2の表示が冷房や暖房、除湿、空気清浄等に切換わって、冷暖房器の運転状態が設定され、操作キー1Cや1Dを押圧操作すると、表示部2の温度表示が切換わって、温度が設定されるように構成されているものであった。
【0010】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら上記従来の冷暖房器用リモコン送信機においては、操作部1の操作内容を、表示部2の文字や数字等の表示によって確認するように構成されているため、周囲が暗い場合には設定した内容が確認しづらく、また操作キーの誤操作もおこし易いという課題があった。
【0011】
本発明は、このような従来の課題を解決するものであり、操作や表示の確認が容易で、使い勝手のよい冷暖房器用リモコン送信機を提供することを目的とする。
【0012】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために本発明は、以下の構成を有するものである。
【0013】
本発明の請求項1に記載の発明は、複数の操作キーが配列された操作部と、この操作部の操作内容を表示する表示部と、冷暖房器のリモコンデータを記憶すると共に、上記操作部の操作によってリモコンデータを電気信号として出力する制御部と、この電気信号によってリモコン信号を送信する送信部と、上記操作部または表示部の少なくとも一方を後方から照光する発光素子からなり、上記発光素子を寒色及び暖色に発光する二層の発光層が形成されたEL素子とし、この二層の発光層を同時発光させて中間色を発光させると共に、上記操作部の操作が暖房または温度上昇の場合には上記発光素子が暖色に発光し、操作が冷房または温度下降の場合には寒色に発光し、操作が冷暖房以外の場合には中間色に発光する冷暖房器用リモコン送信機を構成したものであり、冷暖房や温度の設定等を行う際、操作内容によって操作部や表示部が暖色または寒色に発光するため、操作や表示の確認が容易で、使い勝手のよい冷暖房器用リモコン送信機を得ることができるという作用を有する。
また、発光層が二層のEL素子で暖色と寒色、及び中間色を発光させることができるため、冷暖房以外の除湿や空気清浄等の設定を行う際には、冷暖房時とは異なる色に発光するため、確認が容易で使い易いものとすることができるという作用を有する。
さらに、一つのEL素子で暖色及び寒色或いは中間色等を発光させることができるため、発光色の異なる複数の発光素子を用いる必要がなく、構成部品数を減らし、安価な冷暖房器用リモコン送信機を得ることができるという作用を有する。
【0015】
請求項に記載の発明は、請求項1記載の発明において、表示部前面に、押圧操作によってスイッチング動作する透明タッチパネルを配置したものであり、操作部に加え、表示部でも各種設定や操作が可能なリモコン送信機が得られるという作用を有する。
【0018】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態について、図1〜図3を用いて説明する。
【0019】
なお、従来の技術の項で説明した構成と同一構成の部分には同一符号を付して、詳細な説明を省略する。
【0020】
(実施の形態)
図1は本発明の一実施の形態による冷暖房器用リモコン送信機のブロック図、図2は同部分断面図であり、同図において、1は半透明な複数の操作キーが配列された操作部、2は操作部1の操作内容を表示するLCD等の表示部で、操作部1には図5で示したような、通常使用されることの多い、遠隔操作する冷暖房器の運転を切/入する操作キー1Aや、冷暖房器の運転状態を冷暖房や除湿、空気清浄等に切換える操作キー1B、温度設定用の操作キー1C,1Dが配列されている。
【0021】
そして、3は配線基板6上に装着され、操作部1や表示部2が接続されたマイコン等の制御部で、制御部3には冷暖房器を遠隔操作するためのリモコンデータが記憶されると共に、赤外線発光ダイオード等の送信部4が接続されている。
【0022】
また、7は制御部3に接続された、暖色及び寒色に発光する二層の発光層が形成された発光素子としてのEL素子で、このEL素子7が操作部1及び表示部2の下面に配置され、これらを後方から照光するようにして、リモコン送信機が構成されている。
【0023】
なお、図3はこのようなEL素子の部分断面図であり、同図において、11はポリエチレンテレフタレート等の透明な絶縁フィルムで、この下面に、酸化インジウム錫等の光透過性電極層12Aと、合成樹脂に硫化亜鉛等を分散させた暖色発光体層13が順次重ねて形成されている。
【0024】
そして、さらにこの上に、光透過性電極層12Bや寒色発光体層14、銀やカーボンレジン系の背面電極層15が重ねて印刷形成され、これらを絶縁層16が覆ってEL素子7が構成されている。
【0025】
以上の構成において、操作部1の各操作キーを操作すると、各操作キー下面の可動接点が配線基板6上面の固定接点に接触し、これによって制御部3が記憶したリモコンデータを電気信号として出力し、この電気信号から送信部4が赤外線のリモコン信号を送信する。
【0026】
例えば、操作部1の操作キー1Bを押圧操作すると、制御部3から運転状態を切換えるリモコンデータが電気信号として出力され、この電気信号によって送信部4が赤外線のリモコン信号を送信し、これを冷暖房器が受信して運転状態が冷房や暖房、除湿、空気清浄等に切換わる。
【0027】
そして、この時、例えば冷房に切換えた場合には、EL素子7の光透過性電極層12Bと背面電極層15に電圧が印加され、この間の寒色発光体層14がブルーやグリーン等の寒色に発光して、操作キー1Bや表示部2の表示が寒色に照光される。
【0028】
これに対し、暖色に切換えた場合には、光透過性電極層12Aと12Bに電圧が印加され、この間の暖色発光体層13がピンクやオレンジ等の暖色に発光するため、操作キー1Bや表示部2の表示は暖色に照光される。
【0029】
さらに、除湿や空気清浄等の冷暖房以外の運転状態に切換えた場合には、光透過性電極層12Aと12B、及び背面電極層15に電圧が印加され、寒色発光体層14も暖色発光体層13も同時に発光するため、操作キー1Bや表示部2の表示は、これらの寒色と暖色が混合されたホワイト等の中間色に照光される。
【0030】
同様に、温度設定用の操作キー1Cや1Dを押圧操作すると、温度上昇用の操作キー1Cを押圧操作した場合には、EL素子7の暖色発光体層13が発光し、温度下降用の操作キー1Dを押圧操作した場合には、寒色発光体層14が発光して、操作キー1C,1Dや表示部2の温度表示を各々照光するように構成されている。
【0031】
このように本実施の形態によれば、操作部1及び表示部2の後方に、暖色及び寒色に発光するEL素子7を配置し、操作部1の操作が暖房または温度上昇の場合にはEL素子7が暖色に発光し、操作が冷房または温度下降の場合には寒色に発光するように冷暖房器用リモコン送信機を構成することによって、冷暖房や温度の設定等を行う際、操作内容によって操作部1や表示部2が暖色または寒色に発光するため、操作や表示の確認が容易で、使い勝手のよい冷暖房器用リモコン送信機を得ることができるものである。
【0032】
そして、操作部1の操作が冷暖房以外の場合には、EL素子7を中間色に発光させることによって、冷暖房以外の、除湿や空気清浄等の設定を行う際にも、確認が容易で使い易いものとすることができる。
【0033】
また、EL素子7を寒色及び暖色に発光する寒色発光体層14と暖色発光体層13の二層の発光層が形成されたものとし、この二層の発光層を同時発光させて中間色を発光することによって、発光層が二層のEL素子7で暖色と寒色、及び中間色を発光させることができるため、リモコン送信機を安価なものとすることができる。
【0034】
なお、寒色発光体層14と背面電極層15の間に、さらに光透過性電極層と中間色発光体層を形成し、これらを絶縁層16で覆ってEL素子を構成して、操作キーや表示部2の表示を中間色に照光する場合には、この中間色発光体層をイエローやライトグリーン等の中間色に発光させる構成としても、本発明の実施は可能である。
【0035】
また、可撓性を有する絶縁フィルム等の上基板下面に形成された上電極を、下基板上面に形成された下電極と、上下基板間に形成したドットスペーサによって所定の間隙で対向させて、押圧操作によってスイッチング動作する透明タッチパネルを、LCD等の表示部2前面に配置することによって、表示部2でも各種設定や操作の可能なリモコン送信機とすることができる。
【0037】
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明によれば、操作や表示の確認が容易で、使い勝手のよい冷暖房用リモコン送信機を得ることができるという有利な効果が得られる。

[0020]
(Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a remote controller for an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view thereof, in which 1 is an operation unit in which a plurality of translucent operation keys are arranged, Reference numeral 2 denotes a display unit such as an LCD for displaying the operation contents of the operation unit 1. The operation unit 1 is used to turn off / on the remote-controlled air conditioner as shown in FIG. There are arranged an operation key 1A for operating, an operation key 1B for switching the operation state of the air conditioner to air conditioning, dehumidification, air cleaning, etc., and temperature setting operation keys 1C, 1D.

The control unit 3 stores remote control data for remotely operating the air conditioner. A transmission unit 4 such as an infrared light emitting diode is connected.
[0022]
Reference numeral 7 denotes an EL element as a light emitting element connected to the control unit 3 and having two light emitting layers emitting warm and cold colors. The EL element 7 is provided on the lower surface of the operation unit 1 and the display unit 2. The remote control transmitter is configured such that these are arranged and illuminated from behind.
[0023]
FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view of such an EL element, in which 11 is a transparent insulating film such as polyethylene terephthalate, and a light-transmitting electrode layer 12A such as indium tin oxide is formed on the lower surface thereof. A warm luminescent layer 13 in which zinc sulfide or the like is dispersed in a synthetic resin is sequentially stacked.
[0024]
Further thereon, a light transmissive electrode layer 12B, a cold light emitting layer 14 and a back electrode layer 15 made of silver or carbon resin are overlaid and printed, and these are covered with an insulating layer 16 to constitute the EL element 7. Has been.

Then, the transmission unit 4 transmits an infrared remote control signal from this electrical signal.
[0026]
For example, when the operation key 1B of the operation unit 1 is pressed, remote control data for switching the operation state is output from the control unit 3 as an electrical signal, and the transmission unit 4 transmits an infrared remote control signal by this electrical signal. The equipment is received and the operating state is switched to cooling, heating, dehumidification, air purification, or the like.
