方法に関するものである。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a wind direction control method for controlling the direction of cold air blown out from the outlet of an air conditioner. The present invention relates to a method for controlling the wind direction of an air conditioner that cools the air and quickly makes the entire room comfortable.

布を均一化することが難しい。[Conventional Example] Conventionally, in this type of air conditioner, the direction of the cold air blown is varied in order to rapidly cool a living space and create a comfortable environment throughout the room. For this purpose, a single vertical wind direction plate is installed on the outlet side of the air conditioner, and this vertical wind direction plate can be rotated vertically to blow cold air directly onto the human body, which in turn cools the living space. After that, the upper and lower wind direction plates are rotated horizontally to ensure that the cool air is distributed throughout the room. However, when using the above-mentioned vertical wind direction plates, the wind direction is limited and it is difficult to equalize the temperature distribution throughout the room.

が提案されている。Therefore, for example, in addition to the above-mentioned - vertical wind direction plates, left and right wind direction plates are provided on the cold air outlet side, and these vertical wind direction plates are horizontally
A wind direction control method has been proposed in which the wind direction is rotated in the vertical direction and the left and right wind direction plates are rotated in the left and right directions to change the air flow blown out in the left and right directions.

風を直接人体に吹き付けずに、室内の温度を均一化する
ようにしている。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, in the above-mentioned wind direction control method, for example, at the start of cooling operation, one vertical wind direction plate is set downward, and cold air is blown directly onto the human body to rapidly cool the living space. When the indoor temperature reaches the set temperature, the upper and lower wind direction plates are rotated upward, and the left and right air direction plates are rotated in the left and right directions to cool the room without blowing cold air directly onto the human body. Trying to equalize the temperature.
しかしながら、上下風向板および左右風向板は室内温度

かかる場合もある。However, the vertical wind direction plate and the left and right wind direction plate are controlled based on the indoor temperature, and since there is only one vertical wind direction plate, when the indoor temperature is high, the vertical wind direction plate remains facing downward for a long time. Therefore, depending on the indoor temperature, spots of cold air may be blown directly onto the human body for a long period of time, causing negative effects such as being too cold on the human body.Furthermore, the indoor temperature may take a long time to equalize, and it may take time until a comfortable environment is achieved. It may take some time.

される。First, when the cooling operation is started, as shown in FIG. A control signal is output to set the wind flow direction to be approximately parallel to the obtained wind flow direction (approximately at the center position), and each of the wind direction plates is rotated by the motor of the left and right wind direction adjusting plate drive unit 13 (step 5TI).
If each of the wind direction plates is already substantially parallel to the wind flow direction, the motor cannot be driven by the left and right wind direction adjustment plate driving section 13. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, the indoor control section From 7 onwards, the main wind direction plate 10a of the vertical wind direction adjustment plate 10 is set in a substantially vertical direction (for example, about 90 degrees), and the side wind direction plate 1
A control signal that sets 0b in a substantially horizontal direction (for example, 30 to 45 degrees) is output, and the main wind direction plate 10a and the sub wind direction plate fob are rotated by the motor of the vertical wind direction adjustment plate drive unit 11 (
Step 5T2). Note that if the main wind direction plate 10a is already in the vertical direction, only the side wind direction plate 10b is rotated. On the other hand, the outdoor control section 22 controls the outdoor fan section 1
8, the four-way valve section 19 and the inverter section 20 are controlled, and the cold air obtained in the refrigeration cycle including the compressor 21 is blown out from the outlet 14 in the indoor fan section 6. At this time, the main wind direction plate 10a and the side wind direction plate 10b of the vertical wind direction adjustment plate 10 direct the cold air from the air outlet 14 of the air conditioner downwardly throughout the room, as shown in FIG. It is said to be a double speech bubble. That is, it is low area cooling, and the cold air is divided into upper and lower halves and blown directly onto the human body, providing a comfortable cooling sensation and quickly cooling the living space.

A determination is made as to whether or not the timer time of the timer section 9 has reached a predetermined value Ta (for example, 5 minutes) (step ST3).
), when the low area cooling is performed for a predetermined time Ta, as shown in FIG. Opposite and outward control signals are output,
Each of the wind direction plates is rotated by the motor of the left and right wind direction adjustment plate drive unit 13 (step 5T4).At this time, the vertical wind direction adjustment plate 1O remains double, as shown in Fig. 1O. The cold air from the air outlet 14 is blown out twice and is also divided into left and right directions. In other words, it is called surround cooling, and the cold air is not blown in spots but is blown around the human body, providing a comfortable feeling of cooling.1. It not only cools the living space, but also cools other parts of the room to some extent.

体が設定温度に基づいた快適環境とされる。Next, the indoor control unit 7 sets surround cooling,
A determination is made as to whether or not the timer time of the timer unit 9 has reached a predetermined value Tb (for example, 5 minutes) (step 5T5);
When the surround cooling is performed for a predetermined time Tb,
As shown in FIG. 8, the indoor control unit 7 outputs a control signal that sets the main wind direction plate 10a and the side wind direction plate 10b of the vertical wind direction adjustment plate lO in a substantially horizontal direction.
, the side wind direction plate 10b is rotated (step 5T6). Note that the rotation of the main wind direction plate 10a and the side wind direction plate 10b is such that the side wind direction plate 10b is already in a substantially horizontal direction, so the main wind direction plate 10b is rotated (step 5T6). 10a alone, but depending on their structure, it may be done integrally. In this case, each wind direction plate of the left side wind direction plate group 12a and each wind direction plate of the right side wind direction plate group 12b may be left outside as they are. As shown in FIG. 11, the cold air from the outlet 14 is blown out throughout the room. That is, the entire room is cooled, and the entire room is made into a comfortable environment based on the set temperature.

The cold air is directed to wrap around the human body, rapidly cooling the living space in two stages. Furthermore, surround cooling is performed for a predetermined period of time following the low area cooling, and when the living space has been cooled, it is automatically switched to the overall cooling.

(minutes), the cold air from the outlet is double-blown downward to create low-area cooling), and then for a predetermined period of time (for example, 5 minutes), the double cold air is divided outward (surround cooling). At first, low-area cooling blows cold air directly onto the human body, rapidly cooling the living space and giving a cooling sensation.Before the human body gets too cold and has any negative effects, it switches to surround cooling and the cold air blows directly onto the human body. It wraps around the room from the left and right sides, allowing the living space to be quickly cooled without having any negative effects on the human body.
