Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a set temperature from being shifted into a waking region of a user by a method wherein an indoor heat exchanger and an indoor air blowing means are operated under a restriction of an indoor temperature detected by an indoor temperature sensing means and an indoor temperature set value set by an indoor temperature setting means and a temperature shifting means, and the air-conditioner is provided with a control means for outputting an instruction for driving the operation in response to the difference between these temperatures. CONSTITUTION:An indoor unit 1 of an air-conditioner is comprised of an indoor heat exchanger 2 and an indoor air blower means 3. A temperature shift means 7 measures an elapsing time from a turning-on signal of a good-night switch 6 and then a set room temperature is shifted in sequence in response to the elapsing time. A control means 8 uses the indoor heat exchanger 2 and an indoor air blowing means 3 with a turned-on signal of the good-night switch 6 under a restricted and predetermined range set by an indoor temperature detected by a room temperature detecting means 4 and a set room temperature set by a room temperature setting means 5 and a temperature shift means 7 and outputs an instruction for driving the indoor unit 1 in response to these temperature differences. With such an arrangement, it is possible to limit the room temperature setting after temperature shift of the indoor unit from a going-to-bed time within a range where no waking occurs and to provide a comfortable sleeping environment at all times.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the conventional example described above, the temperature is shifted based on the room temperature setting of the user. Figure 5 (above) shows a schematic diagram of the comfortable sleep temperature range in the summer and winter.First, in the summer, The temperature range around 26℃ is the comfortable range.There are individual differences in the lower limit temperature.
The upper limit temperature TI is a nearly constant value, and air conditioning operation with a temperature setting higher than this often results in awakening.In winter, the comfortable temperature range is around 15 degrees Celsius due to the effects of bedding, etc. In the winter comfortable sleep zone (Friend) There are individual differences in the upper limit temperature. The lower limit temperature T1" is a nearly constant value, and air conditioning operation with a temperature setting below this often results in awakening at 1.% General The set temperature used is 16°C to 30°C, and the temperature shift amount is approximately +2°C during deep cooling.
During heating, there is a temperature shift of about -5°C, but depending on the user's set temperature before going to bed, the set temperature may reach the waking range as shown in Figure 5. be. In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention inherits the comfortable and economical setting temperature shift of the past, and at the same time makes it possible to automatically shift the setting temperature to the waking range without imposing restrictions or other inconvenience on the user. Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the air conditioner of the present invention (above
An indoor unit consisting of an indoor heat exchanger and an indoor ventilation means, a room temperature detection means for detecting the indoor temperature, a room temperature detection means for setting the indoor temperature, a sleep switch operated at bedtime, and an on signal of the sleep switch. Temperature shifting means for measuring elapsed time and sequentially shifting the room temperature setting according to the elapsed time; and room temperature setting means for detecting the indoor heat exchanger and the indoor ventilation means by the room temperature detection means in response to an ON signal from a sleep switch. and a control means that limits the room temperature setting set by the temperature shift means to within a predetermined range and issues a command for driving based on the temperature difference between these temperatures.

In Fig. 1, 2 is an indoor heat exchanger, 3 is an indoor ventilation means, and these constitute the indoor unit 1. 21o4 is a room temperature detection means for detecting the indoor temperature, 5 is a room temperature detection means for setting the indoor temperature, and 6 is a sleeping area. 7 is a temperature shift method in which the elapsed time from the on signal of the sleep switch 6 is measured and the room temperature setting is sequentially shifted according to the elapsed time; 8 is a temperature shift method in which the indoor heat exchanger 2 is operated by the on signal of the sleep switch 6; The indoor ventilation means 3 is used to limit the indoor temperature detected by the room temperature detection means 4 and the room temperature setting set by the room temperature setting means 5 and the temperature shift means 7 to a predetermined range. Next, the operation of the control means 8 will be explained in detail with reference to FIG. 2. FIG. First, the set temperature T$ is set by the room temperature setting means 5.
(step 11), and the room temperature T is detected by the room temperature detection means 4 (step 12). If the sleep switch 6 is not operated in step 13, a conventional cooling/heating operation such as 0N10FF of the compressor is performed based on the set temperature Ts and the room temperature T.If the sleep switch 6 is not operated at bedtime, The elapsed time is measured by the temperature shift means 7 (step 14), and the temperature shift amount ΔT is calculated according to the time (step 1).
5) Add and change the temperature shift amount ΔT to the set temperature Ts (step 16).

Next, set the limit temperature T, which indicates the wakefulness range, in Step 17), and compare it with the shifted set temperature Ts in Step 18) and Step 19. If it is not appropriate, that is, outside the comfortable sleep range, 1-1 Set the set temperature Ts. A limit temperature T is set (step 20). If appropriate, the set temperature after the temperature shift is used without modification, and thereafter, conventionally known cooling/heating operations such as 0N10FF of the compressor are performed in the same manner based on the set temperature Ts and the room temperature T (step 21). As described above, the room temperature setting after the temperature shift of the indoor unit during sleep is limited to a range that does not lead to awakening. Figures 3 and 4 show timing charts of the indoor temperature and set temperature during sleep according to this embodiment. Figure 3 shows that the set temperature T after the temperature shift is comfortable. Indicates a case where the temperature is within the sleep range, that is, below the limit temperature TI.A temperature shift (indicated by △T+ and △T2 in Fig. 3) is performed every time elapsed after going to bed (indicated by 11 and t2 in Fig. 3). Figure 4 shows a case where the set temperature 'r'' after the temperature shift is outside the comfortable sleep range, that is, above the limit temperature T, and the temperature shift △T2 is not performed after the elapsed time t2 after going to sleep, and the set temperature Ts is Limit temperature T, closed.
