である。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an air conditioner equipped with a humidity detector.

一般に、室内の快適湿度は、その雰囲気の風速によって
影響さ扛、その風速が高い場合は、高めの湿度でも許容
できることが知らｎている。It is generally known that the comfortable humidity in a room is affected by the wind speed in the atmosphere, and if the wind speed is high, a higher humidity can be tolerated.

したがって、この風速に無関係に湿度の設定値を決定す
ることは、空調エネルギの無駄となる恐れがある。Therefore, determining the humidity setting regardless of the wind speed may result in a waste of air conditioning energy.

る。The present invention was made from the above-mentioned viewpoint, and indirectly detects the wind speed in the indoor atmosphere by the rotation speed of the blower.
This is intended to save energy by changing the humidity setting.

, a temperature regulator 9, a humidity regulator 1o, and a compressor motor 11 are connected in series. However, even if the series circuit of the blower rotation speed switch 12 and the motor 13 for the blower 6 is connected in parallel to the series circuit of the temperature regulator 9, humidity controller 10, and compressor motor 11, the outdoor unit 3 A lunar blower motor 14 is connected in parallel to the compressor motor 11. 16 is a temperature sensor, and 16 is a humidity sensor. -! In addition, the humidity controller 10 includes a temperature sensor 16. The compressor motor 11 is controlled by signals from a humidity detector 16 and a blower rotation speed switch 12.

以上の構成でつぎに本発明の詳細な説明する。The present invention will now be described in detail with the above configuration.

低くいために、体感上、不快を感じる恐れは少ない。1. Operation switch 8. The temperature regulator 9 is closed, and the blower motor 13 is turned on by the blower rotation speed switch 12.
Suppose that the air conditioner rotates at high speed and cooling of the room 1 is started. Thereafter, the temperature in the room 1 decreases, and at the same time, the humidity also decreases. At this time, when the cooling stop setting value of any n of the temperature regulator 9 and humidity controller 10 is reached, the compressor motor 11
When the blower motor 14 is stopped and cooling is temporarily stopped, the blower rotation speed switch 1 is then automatically or manually operated.
When the blower motor 13 is switched to low speed operation by 2,
At the same time, the set value of the humidity controller 10 decreases. Therefore, even if the indoor air velocity decreases during subsequent cooling, the humidity setting is low, so there is little risk of discomfort.

風量が犬のときは、低湿度により不快を感じ易いので、
暖房停止の設定湿度を高めにすｎは良い。It may also be used for heating; in this case, the amount of air from an indoor blower is low, since dogs tend to feel uncomfortable due to low humidity.
It is a good idea to set the humidity higher when the heating stops.
