Description

本発明は、エアフィルタの清掃を自動的に行うようにした空気調和機の清掃機構制御装置に関するものである。 The present invention relates to an air conditioner cleaning mechanism control device that automatically cleans an air filter.

現在、空気調和機の省エネ推進の高まりから、エアフィルタの清掃を自動的に行うようにした空気調和機が広く普及してきた。   Currently, air conditioners that automatically clean air filters have become widespread because of the energy saving promotion of air conditioners.

様々な自動清掃機構が考えられている中で、実用性の面からエアフィルタの着脱を可能にした機構が主流となっており、その清掃機構においては、日常はエアフィルタの自動清掃を行い、長期的に蓄積するような油成分等の汚れは、エアフィルタを外して直接に洗浄
する構成を取っている。
While various automatic cleaning mechanisms are being considered, the mechanism that allows the air filter to be attached and detached from the standpoint of practicality has become the mainstream, and in that cleaning mechanism, the air filter is automatically cleaned on a daily basis, Contamination such as oil components that accumulates over the long term is configured to be removed directly by removing the air filter.

そしてこの構成を取った場合、エアフィルタの着脱に際して人的影響が含まれるようになるため、エアフィルタの施工を容易にする工夫や、施工不備時に不具合に対処できる手段を備えておく制御を考えることが必要となってきた。   When this configuration is adopted, human influences are included when the air filter is attached / detached. Therefore, a device for facilitating the construction of the air filter and a control equipped with a means for coping with a malfunction when the construction is inadequate are considered. It has become necessary.

着脱可能なエアフィルタを備えた清掃機構制御装置として、エアフィルタの施工不備時には清掃機構部がエアフィルタに引っかかり自動清掃が停止するものがある(未公開自社出願2005−293589号参照)。 As a cleaning mechanism control device equipped with a detachable air filter, there is a cleaning mechanism control device that catches the air filter when the air filter is not installed properly and stops automatic cleaning (see unpublished in-house application No. 2005-293589).

これはエアフィルタの引っかかった状況に応じて清掃機構部の駆動方向を選択して清掃機構部をエアフィルタの通風路外に駆動させることができるため、早期に不具合を解決して復帰の対処ができるといったメリットがある。   This is because the cleaning mechanism can be driven out of the ventilation path of the air filter by selecting the driving direction of the cleaning mechanism according to the situation where the air filter is caught. There is an advantage that you can.

しかしながら、前記従来の制御装置を用いた空気調和機においては、エアフィルタの施工に不具合があった場合、その不具合に気が付くタイミングは、運転を開始して空調機を使用して1回目の掃除を行なう時、すなわちユーザが空調機を利用してからしばらく経ってからの事であり、不具合の対処は施工業者ではなくユーザ自身が対処しなければならなかった。 However, in the air conditioner using the conventional control device , when there is a problem in the construction of the air filter, the timing when the problem is noticed is to start the operation and use the air conditioner for the first cleaning. When it is performed, that is, after the user has used the air conditioner for a while, the trouble must be dealt with by the user, not the contractor.

その結果ユーザにとって利便性に欠けるものとなっていたため、エアフィルタ装着不備をユーザが使用するより前に見付けられるような手段を備えておく必要性があった。   As a result, since it has become inconvenient for the user, it has been necessary to provide a means for finding inadequate air filter attachment before the user uses it.

前記従来の課題を解決するために、本発明の空気調和機の清掃機構制御装置は、空気中の塵埃を捕集する着脱可能なエアフィルタと、前記エアフィルタに沿って駆動可能な清掃機構と、送風機構と、吸引ノズルと、前記吸引ノズルに連通された吸引装置と、排気ダクトを具備した空気調和機において、運転を開始する信号を発信する空調機運転開始手段と、前記空調機運転開始手段からの信号を読み取り出力する空調機運転開始読取出力手段と、空気調和機の電源を初めて投入したかどうかを判別する電源初回投入判別手段と、空気調和機の電源が初回投入したかどうかを記憶する電源初回投入有無記憶手段とを有し、前記電源初回投入判別手段と前記電源初回投入有無記憶手段からの出力に基づき、前記電源投入が初回の時は前記清掃機構を駆動させるとともに、2回目以降の時には空調機を運転開始させる清掃機構駆動信号出力手段を備えたことを特徴としたものである。 In order to solve the conventional problems, an air conditioner cleaning mechanism control device according to the present invention includes a removable air filter that collects dust in the air, and a cleaning mechanism that can be driven along the air filter. An air conditioner operation start means for transmitting a signal for starting operation in an air conditioner equipped with a blower mechanism, a suction nozzle, a suction device communicated with the suction nozzle, and an exhaust duct; and the air conditioner operation start The air conditioner operation start reading output means for reading and outputting the signal from the means, the power supply first turning on judging means for judging whether or not the air conditioner is turned on for the first time, and whether or not the air conditioner is turned on for the first time. and a power first turned existence storage means for storing, based on the output from the said power supply first turned discriminating means power first turned existence storage means, when the power is turned on for the first time in the cleaning mechanism Causes driven, when the second and subsequent is obtained by comprising the cleaning mechanism drive signal output means for starting operation of the air conditioner.

上記手段を用いることにより、エアフィルタの装着に不具合があった場合でも、空調機の電源初回投入時、すなわち施工業者が空調機を据え付けた後に行なう試運転時に、清掃機構を駆動させるようにして、施工業者が居る間にエアフィルタの装着不備を見付けられ、早期に不具合に対応することができる。   By using the above means, even if there is a problem with the installation of the air filter, the cleaning mechanism is driven when the air conditioner is turned on for the first time, i.e., during a trial run after the contractor installs the air conditioner, While there is a contractor, it is found that the air filter is not properly installed, and it is possible to deal with the problem at an early stage.

本発明の空気調和機の清掃機構制御装置は、エアフィルタの装着不備の場合、施工業者が空調機を据え付けた後に行なう試運転時に清掃機構を駆動させるようにするため、施工業者が居る間に不具合を対処することができ、ユーザの利便性が高まる。 In the air conditioner cleaning mechanism control device of the present invention, when the air filter is not installed properly, the cleaning mechanism is driven during a trial operation performed after the contractor installs the air conditioner. To improve user convenience.

In the air conditioner having an exhaust duct, an air conditioner operation start means for transmitting a signal for starting operation, an air conditioner operation start read output means for reading and outputting a signal from the air conditioner operation start means, and air conditioning A first power-on determination unit that determines whether or not the power of the machine is turned on for the first time; and a first power-on / off storage unit that stores whether or not the air conditioner is first turned on. and based on the output from the power supply first turned existence storage means, wherein with power-on time of the first time to drive the cleaning mechanism, when the second and subsequent to start operating the air conditioner Due to the provision of a scavenging mechanism drive signal output means, even if there is a problem with the air filter mounting, when the power first on of the air conditioner, i.e. during commissioning contractor is performed after installation of the air conditioner, drives the cleaning mechanism In this way, it is possible to find inadequate mounting of the air filter while the contractor is present, and to cope with the problem at an early stage.

以下、本発明の実施の形態について、図面を参照しながら説明する。なお、この実施の形態によって本発明が限定されるものではない。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

(実施の形態)
図1は、本発明の清掃機構の概略図、図2は本発明の実施の形態における制御のブロック線図、図3は制御のフローチャートを示すものである。
(Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a cleaning mechanism of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a block diagram of control in an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart of control.

図1において、着脱可能なエアフィルタ11の清掃を自動的に行うように、清掃部分13は左右方向に移動が可能となるようなガイド部12を有しているため、エアフィルタに沿って左右方向に移動ができる。そして清掃部13が吸引式のノズルの形体をとり、吸引ノズルには吸引ダクト14と吸引装置15、および排気ダクト16が連通され、吸引ノズルから吸い込まれた埃は、排気ダクトから放出されるため、エアフィルタ近辺の埃が取り除かれるため清潔になるという構造の清掃機構である。   In FIG. 1, the cleaning portion 13 has a guide portion 12 that can move in the left-right direction so that the removable air filter 11 is automatically cleaned. Can move in the direction. The cleaning unit 13 takes the form of a suction type nozzle, and the suction duct 14, the suction device 15, and the exhaust duct 16 are communicated with the suction nozzle, and dust sucked from the suction nozzle is discharged from the exhaust duct. The cleaning mechanism is structured to be clean because dust in the vicinity of the air filter is removed.

図2、図3において、施工業者が空調機を据え付けエアフィルタをセットしてから試運転をすべく、リモコンや試運転ボタン等の空調機運転開始発信手段21により空調機を運転させる(ステップ31)。   2 and 3, the air conditioner is started by the air conditioner operation start transmission means 21 such as a remote control or a test operation button so that the contractor installs the air conditioner and sets the air filter and performs the test operation (step 31).

そして運転開始信号はマイコン22内の空調機運転開始読取出力手段23で読み取り空調機を運転させる信号を出力するわけだが、運転が据え付けられてから初回の運転である場合は、マイコン22内の電源初回投入判別手段24にて電源が初回投入されたと判別し(ステップ32のN)、空調機を運転させる前にエアフィルタ装着の正誤を確認するべく、清掃機構部駆動信号出力手段26により清掃機構27を強制的に一往復させる(ステップ33)。そして電源初回投入有無記憶手段25により電源電圧が初回投入済みと記憶させてから(ステップ34)、空調機の運転を開始させる(ステップ35)。   The operation start signal is read by the air conditioner operation start reading output means 23 in the microcomputer 22 and a signal for operating the air conditioner is output. If this is the first operation after the operation is installed, the power supply in the microcomputer 22 is output. It is determined that the power is turned on for the first time by the first-time input determining means 24 (N in Step 32), and the cleaning mechanism drive signal output means 26 is used to check whether the air filter is installed before operating the air conditioner. 27 is forced to reciprocate once (step 33). Then, after the power supply voltage is stored for the first time by the power-on / off storage means 25 (step 34), the operation of the air conditioner is started (step 35).

もし清掃機構27を一往復させたときにエアフィルタが誤って装着されていれば、清掃部13がエアフィルタに引っかかり左右方向への駆動ができなくなるため、エラーランプ等の信号を出して、不具合を知らせて、対応を促すようにすればよい。   If the air filter is installed incorrectly when the cleaning mechanism 27 is reciprocated once, the cleaning unit 13 is caught by the air filter and cannot be driven in the left-right direction. Can be encouraged to respond.

また、2回目以降の電源投入時に関しては、マイコン22内で電源初回投入は既にされたと記憶されているため、電源初回投入判別手段24にて電源初回投入済みと判別し(ステップ32のY)、運転信号発信後は(ステップ31)通常通りに空調機の運転を開始する(ステップ35)。   Further, at the second and subsequent power-on times, it is stored that the first power-on has already been performed in the microcomputer 22, so that the first power-on discriminating means 24 determines that the power is first turned on (Y in step 32). After the operation signal is transmitted (step 31), the operation of the air conditioner is started as usual (step 35).

以上のように、本実施の形態においては、運転を開始する信号を発信する空調機運転開始手段と、前記空調機運転開始手段からの信号を読み取り出力する空調機運転開始読取出力手段と、空気調和機の電源を初めて投入したかどうかを判別する電源初回投入判別手段と、空気調和機の電源が初回投入したかどうかを記憶する電源初回投入有無記憶手段と、
前記電源初回投入判別手段と前記電源初回投入有無記憶手段からの出力により清掃機構を動作させる制御であるため、エアフィルタの装着に不具合があった場合でも、空調機の電源初回投入時、すなわち施工業者が空調機を据え付けた後に行なう試運転時に、空調機を運転する前に清掃機構を一往復駆動させてエアフィルタ装着の正誤を確認するようにしたため、施工業者が居る間にエアフィルタの装着不備を見付けられ、早期に不具合に対応することができ、その結果ユーザの利便性が高まる。
As described above, in the present embodiment, an air conditioner operation start unit that transmits a signal for starting operation, an air conditioner operation start read output unit that reads and outputs a signal from the air conditioner operation start unit, and an air A first power-on determining means for determining whether or not the power to the conditioner is turned on for the first time; a first power on / off storage means for storing whether or not the air conditioner is first turned on;
Since it is a control to operate the cleaning mechanism by the output from the first power-on determination means and the first power-on / off storage means, even when there is a problem with the air filter installation, During the trial run after the air conditioner was installed by the contractor, the cleaning mechanism was driven one reciprocation before the air conditioner was operated to check whether the air filter was installed correctly. Can be found, and it is possible to cope with the problem at an early stage, and as a result, convenience for the user is enhanced.

以上のように、本発明にかかる空気調和機の清掃機構制御装置は、エアフィルタの装着不備を見付けられ、早期に不具合に対応することができるので、清掃機構を搭載した空気清浄機や換気扇等にも適用できる。 As described above, the air conditioner cleaning mechanism control device according to the present invention can find deficiencies in the air filter and can cope with problems at an early stage. It can also be applied to.
