Abstract

PURPOSE:To securely operate an air conditioner, by a method wherein a transmitter is provided with a deflecting plate for deflecting the direction of a signal beams emitted from a transmitting part, and the direction of a signal beam is adjusted to the direction toward a receiving part of the air conditioner. CONSTITUTION:A transmitting part 11 is provided at an upper part of the transmitter 7 which is comprised of a light-emitting element 12 emitting infrared rays, a reflector 13 for reflecting the infrared rays emitted from the element 12 and a port 14 for transmitting the infrared rays therethrough. When various switches of the transmitter 7 are operated, the light-emitting element 12 radiates the infrared rays, the light reflected by mirror plate 17 is received by a light-receiving element 6, and a room-side unit 1 starts operating. When the level of an optical signal reaching the receiving part 5 is low due to an installing condition, the angle of incidence of the infrared rays from the element 12 and the resultant angle of reflection are adjusted by regulating the angle of the mirror plate 17 so that the optical signal reaches the receiving part 5 at a high level, thereby securing the operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a transmitting device for an air conditioner that transmits operating details using optical signals, etc., and is intended to ensure that the transmitted signal is transmitted to the receiving section of the air conditioner. This is one of the purposes.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, means for transmitting signals such as ultrasonic waves or light has been known as means for controlling the operation of air conditioners. However, in the case of an air conditioner, unlike a television or the like, it is not necessary to operate it frequently, so it is desirable to mount the transmitting device on a wall or the like. However, the installation location of an air conditioner is often limited due to the decoration of the room, and due to this nature, if the transmitter is selected in a location where the signal can most easily reach, the decorative feel of the room will be lost. However, there are times when a location is selected that is difficult for the signal to reach. In such a state, the operation of the air vibration conditioner cannot be properly controlled, and there are also disadvantages in that signals may not be transmitted as the power supply voltage of the transmitting device decreases.

本発明は、上記従来の欠点を解消するものである。The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks.

以下、本発明をその一実施例を示す図面を参考に説明す

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings showing one embodiment thereof.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an indoor unit of a separate type air conditioner having a well-known structure, which is equipped with an inlet 2 and an outlet 3 at the front, and is attached to a wall 4 of the room. Reference numeral 6 denotes a receiving section provided on the front surface of the indoor unit 1, in which a light receiving element 6 dedicated for reception is provided. 7 is a transmitting device;
Similar to the indoor unit 1, it is attached to the wall surface 4 of the room and is provided with various switches 8, 9, and 10 for performing operation control, ventilation control, and the like. 11 is the transmitting device 7
A transmitting unit provided on the upper part of the device includes a light emitting element 12 that emits infrared rays, a reflecting device 13 that reflects the infrared rays of this light emitting element 12, and an opening 14 that transmits the infrared rays.
It is composed of
