(控制装置)(control device)
图4是说明图1所示的空调机的室内机的图，是示出控制装置的结构的框图。Fig. 4 is a diagram illustrating an indoor unit of the air conditioner shown in Fig. 1 , and is a block diagram showing a configuration of a control device.
在图4中，控制装置70与用户(在室者)U1对应地控制送风机5的每分钟转速和吹出方向(上下风向板9和左右风向板10等的姿势)。In FIG. 4 , the control device 70 controls the rotation speed per minute and the blowing direction (postures of the vertical louver 9 and the horizontal louver 10 , etc.) of the air blower 5 in correspondence with the user (occupant) U1.
即，如以下所详细说明地，控制装置70为，在摄像装置50拍摄并基于图像来识别用户U1的脸部F1、且脸部F1在脸部识别范围内持续停留脸部识别时间的期间的情况下，认定用户U1是期望向自身送风的人，并控制上下风向板9和左右风向板10的姿势以朝向该认定的用户U1(在用户U1移动的情况下确定移动目的地并朝向移动目的地)吹出调节空气。That is, as described in detail below, the control device 70 is to recognize the face F1 of the user U1 based on the image captured by the imaging device 50, and the face F1 stays within the face recognition range for the face recognition time. In this case, it is determined that the user U1 is a person who desires to blow air to himself, and the postures of the vertical louvers 9 and the left and right louvers 10 are controlled to face the identified user U1 (if the user U1 moves, determine the destination and move toward destination) to blow out conditioned air.
此时，控制装置70判断用户U1的特征(男性或女性)，在判断的特征为女性、且在制冷运转中或送风运转中的情况下或者要开始制冷运转或送风运转的情况下(与上次运转停止时为制冷运转或送风运转的情况相同)，与制热运转中、或判断的特征为男性且在制冷运转中或送风运转的情况相比，降低送风机5的每分钟转速。即，在制冷运转中或送风运转中，女性比男性感到更寒冷，因此对于女性，降低送风机5的每分钟转速，对女性吹送比男性更少量(更低速)的调节空气(冷风)，从而确保舒适性。At this time, the control device 70 judges the characteristics of the user U1 (male or female). It is the same as in the cooling operation or the ventilation operation when the operation was stopped last time), and compared with the heating operation, or the judged characteristic is male and in the cooling operation or the ventilation operation, the per minute of the blower 5 is reduced. Rotating speed. That is, women feel colder than men during cooling operation or air blowing operation, so for women, the revolutions per minute of blower 5 are reduced, and a smaller amount (lower speed) of conditioned air (cold air) is blown to women than men, thereby Ensure comfort.
而且，在集中地朝向用户U1吹送调节空气(以下称为“集中吹出”)之后经过预先确定的时间(以下称为“集中吹出时间”)后，考虑用户U1足够凉爽或温暖了，因此停止集中吹出，朝向包括用户U1在内的大范围分散地吹出调节空气(以下称为“分散吹出”)。And, after a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as "concentrated blowing time") has elapsed after the conditioned air is intensively blown toward the user U1 (hereinafter referred to as "concentrated blowing"), it is considered that the user U1 is cool or warm enough, so the concentration is stopped. In the blowing, the conditioned air is distributed and blown over a wide range including the user U1 (hereinafter referred to as "distributed blowing").
另外，在分散吹出时，即使女性受到冷风，也不会感到令人不快的寒冷，因此使降低了的每分钟转速回到原始的每分钟转速，推进大范围的制冷。In addition, even if women are exposed to cold wind when blowing out in a diffuse manner, they will not feel unpleasantly cold, so the reduced RPM is returned to the original RPM, and wide-ranging cooling is promoted.
因此，控制装置70至少具有用于执行在后述的控制流程(图6～图8)中记载的各步骤的构件(脸部识别构件、特征判断构件、转速维持构件、转速降低构件、起动指令构件、集中吹出指令构件、转速恢复构件、分散吹出指令构件、跟踪构件、跟踪集中吹出指令构件、跟踪转速恢复构件、跟踪分散吹出指令构件、结束构件)。Therefore, the control device 70 has at least means for executing each step described in the control flow (FIG. 6 to FIG. component, concentrated blowing command component, rotational speed recovery component, dispersed blowing command component, tracking component, tracking centralized blowing command component, tracking rotational speed recovery component, tracking dispersed blowing command component, end component).
(用户的识别)(identification of user)
图5是用于说明图1所示的空调机的室内机的用户的识别要领的侧视图。Fig. 5 is a side view for explaining how to identify a user of the indoor unit of the air conditioner shown in Fig. 1 .
在图5中，室内机100在室内90的一方的壁(以下，称为“背面壁”)91上设置在靠近顶壁面92的位置。In FIG. 5 , an indoor unit 100 is installed on one wall (hereinafter, referred to as a “rear wall”) 91 of a room 90 at a position close to a ceiling wall surface 92 .
而且，摄像装置(例如，30万像素的CCD摄像机)50具有朝向斜下方的视野51。并且，在视野51内，在距摄像装置50为距离L1～距离L2(L1<L2)的范围(图中，以斜线示出。以下，称为“脸部识别范围”)52内，用户U1的脸部F1持续停留预先确定的时间即“脸部识别时间(例如，2秒钟)”的期间时，控制装置识别成“用户U1是期望向自身送风的人”。Furthermore, the imaging device (for example, a 300,000-pixel CCD camera) 50 has a field of view 51 directed obliquely downward. In addition, within the field of view 51 , within a range (shown with oblique lines in the figure; hereinafter referred to as "face recognition range") 52 from the imaging device 50 at a distance L1 to a distance L2 (L1<L2), the user When the face F1 of U1 stays for a predetermined time, that is, "face recognition time (for example, 2 seconds)", the control device recognizes that "user U1 is a person who wants to blow air to himself".
并且，控制装置70在用户U1距摄像装置50为比距离L3(比距离L2远(L2<L3))更近时，判断为“用户U1要使自己被室内机100识别”，从而在虽然在接近到比距离L3还要近但在脸部识别范围52内仍没有脸部F1时，使未图示的告知构件告知该信息。In addition, when the user U1 is closer to the imaging device 50 than the distance L3 (farther than the distance L2 (L2<L3)), the control device 70 judges that "the user U1 wants to be recognized by the indoor unit 100", so that even if the When the approach is closer than the distance L3 but there is no face F1 within the face recognition range 52 , this information is notified by a notifying means not shown.
例如，通过声音告知“无法识别脸部”、或“请进一步接近”，或者使表示无法识别脸部的灯点亮或者闪烁。另外，告知构件也可以取代上述声音或者灯的点亮或闪烁，而显示文字或图像。For example, "face cannot be recognized" or "please get closer" is announced by voice, or a lamp indicating that face cannot be recognized is turned on or blinks. In addition, the notifying means may display characters or images instead of the above-mentioned sound or lighting or flickering of lamps.
另外，“控制装置识别用户U1的脸部F1”与“控制装置识别用户U1是期望向自身送风的人”是相同的意思。In addition, "the control device recognizes the face F1 of the user U1" has the same meaning as "the control device recognizes that the user U1 is a person who desires to blow air to himself".
另一方面，在用户U1接近至距摄像装置50为比距离L3还要近并到经过预先确定的脸部识别时间(例如，2秒钟)为止，无法识别脸部F1时(脸部F1为进入脸部识别范围52内时)，判断为“用户U1是不期望向自身送风的人”，即无需进行后述的控制。On the other hand, when the user U1 approaches the camera 50 closer than the distance L3 and the predetermined face recognition time (for example, 2 seconds) elapses, the face F1 cannot be recognized (the face F1 is When entering the face recognition range 52), it is determined that "the user U1 is a person who does not wish to blow air to himself", that is, it is not necessary to perform the control described later.
此时，也可以使未图示的告知构件告知该信息。例如，通过声音告知“以上次结束时的运转模式运转”，或者使表示“以上述结束时的运转模式的运转”的灯点亮或闪烁。At this time, the information may be notified by notifying means not shown. For example, "operate in the operation mode at the end of the previous time" is notified by voice, or a lamp indicating "operate in the operation mode at the end of the above" is lit or blinked.
(用户的追踪)(user tracking)
控制装置70在识别用户U1(识别为期望向自身送风的人)后，通过摄像装置50拍摄的用户U1的图像追踪用户U1，确定其移动目的地(以下，称为“用户位置”)P1。After the control device 70 recognizes the user U1 (recognized as a person who desires to blow air to himself), he tracks the user U1 through the image of the user U1 captured by the camera device 50, and determines his moving destination (hereinafter referred to as "user position") P1 .
即，在用户U1不移动而脸部F1持续处于脸部识别范围52的期间，将与脸部识别范围52对应的最近位置P0确定为用户位置P1。而且，在识别脸部F1后，将用户U1向远离室内机100的方向移动并且所述移动结束后、即用户U1立定的位置或者坐下的位置确定为用户位置P1。That is, while the face F1 is continuously in the face recognition range 52 while the user U1 is not moving, the closest position P0 corresponding to the face recognition range 52 is determined as the user position P1. Furthermore, after the face F1 is recognized, the user U1 moves away from the indoor unit 100 and after the movement, that is, the position where the user U1 stands or sits is determined as the user position P1.
(用户的特征的判断)(judgment of user's characteristics)
控制装置70基于识别的用户U1的脸部F1(准确来说，关于脸部F1的信息)，对用户U1是“男性”还是“女性”来进行性别判断。The control device 70 performs gender judgment on whether the user U1 is "male" or "female" based on the recognized face F1 of the user U1 (accurately, information about the face F1).
另外，特征判断的要领并不限定，也可以是基于加上脸部F1以外的形态(体格等)的信息。In addition, the method of feature determination is not limited, and it may be based on adding information of forms (physique, etc.) other than the face F1.
(送风机的每分钟转速的设定)(Setting of the speed per minute of the blower)
在用户U1为女性且在制冷运转中或送风运转中或者要开始制冷运转或送风运转的时候(与上次运转停止时的运转模式为制冷运转或送风运转的情况相同)，将送风机的每分钟转速(每单位时间的转速)变更为比用户U1为男性的情况等的每分钟转速(以下称为“维持转速(N)”)小的每分钟转速(以下称为“降低转速(αN)”)。When the user U1 is female and is in cooling operation or ventilation operation or is about to start cooling operation or ventilation operation (same as when the operation mode was cooling operation or ventilation operation when the operation stopped last time), the blower The rotation speed per minute (rotational speed per unit time) of the user U1 is changed to a lower rotation speed per minute (hereinafter referred to as "reduction speed ( αN)").
即，与男性相比，女性“不耐冷”，因此与男性同样地曝于集中地吹送的冷风中的话，会感到不快，因此减小送风量(和送风速度)。That is, women are "intolerant to cold" compared to men, so they feel uncomfortable when exposed to concentrated cold wind like men, so the air volume (and air speed) is reduced.
另外，在用户U1为男性的情况下、以及用户U1为女性且在制热运转中，不进行这样的降低(减小)每分钟转速的变更。In addition, when the user U1 is a male, and when the user U1 is a female and is in the air-warming operation, such a change to lower (decrease) the rpm is not performed.
并且，如后所述，在朝向用户U1(用户U1所在的位置)集中地送风后，在经过集中吹出时间后切换至分散吹出，而在分散送风时，将降低转速(αN)恢复至维持转速(N)，调节空气被送至大范围。And, as will be described later, after concentrated air blowing toward the user U1 (where the user U1 is located), it is switched to distributed blowing after the concentrated blowing time elapses, and the reduced rotation speed (αN) is restored to Maintaining the speed (N), conditioned air is sent to a wide range.
即，当在集中吹出时间的期间曝于被集中地吹送的调节空气中后，考虑用户U1足够凉爽(或者温暖)了，因此出于防止过冷(或者过热)的目的，将集中的送风切换为分散吹出。That is, after being exposed to the conditioned air blown intensively during the concentrated blowing time, it is considered that the user U1 is cool (or warm) enough, so for the purpose of preventing overcooling (or overheating), the centralized blown air Switch to diffuse blowout.
这样的话，通过分散吹出，到达用户U1的风量比集中地送风的情况减少，因此即使恢复到维持转速，也不会使用户U1(女性)感到不快。而且，由于送风的调节空气的到达范围变广，因此优选将每分钟转速恢复至变更前，确保送风量。In this way, the distributed blowing reduces the air volume reaching the user U1 compared to the case of concentrated air blowing, so the user U1 (female) will not feel uncomfortable even if the rotation speed is restored to the maintenance speed. Furthermore, since the reaching range of the conditioned air to be blown becomes wider, it is preferable to return the rpm to the value before the change to secure the blown air volume.
(控制流程)(control flow)
图6～图8是示出图1所示的空调机的室内机的控制流程的流程图。6 to 8 are flowcharts showing a control flow of the indoor unit of the air conditioner shown in FIG. 1 .
在图6中，在用户U1的脸部F1在脸部识别范围52停留(持续停留)至少脸部识别时间的期间时(S1)，控制装置70识别为“用户U1是期望向自身送风的人”(用户识别步骤，S2)。In FIG. 6 , when the face F1 of the user U1 stays (stays continuously) in the face recognition range 52 for at least the face recognition time (S1), the control device 70 recognizes that "the user U1 wants to blow air to himself." Person" (user identification step, S2).
而且，判断识别的用户U1的特征(男性或女性)(特征判断步骤，S3)。Also, the characteristics (male or female) of the recognized user U1 are judged (characteristic judging step, S3).
接着，在制冷运转中或送风运转中或者要开始制冷运转或送风运转时(当前制冷运转中或送风运转中或者上次运转结束时的运转模式为制冷运转或送风运转)，在未判断用户U1为女性的情况下(与当前运转中或者上次运转结束时的运转模式为制热的情况，或者当前运转中或者上次运转结束时的运转模式为制冷且判断用户U1为男性的情况相同，S4)，将送风机5的每分钟转速设定为当前运转中或者上次运转结束时的送风机5的维持转速(N)(转速维持步骤，S5)。Next, when the cooling operation or the ventilation operation is in progress or when the cooling operation or the ventilation operation is about to start (the operation mode is the cooling operation or the ventilation operation during the current cooling operation or the ventilation operation or when the previous operation is completed), in the When it is not determined that the user U1 is a female (the same as the case where the operation mode is heating during the current operation or at the end of the previous operation, or the operation mode is cooling during the current operation or at the end of the previous operation and it is determined that the user U1 is male Same situation as above, S4), the rotation speed per minute of the air blower 5 is set as the maintenance speed (N) of the air blower 5 during the current operation or the end of the last operation (speed maintenance step, S5).
另一方面，在当前制冷运转中或送风运转中或者上次运转结束时的运转模式为制冷运转或送风运转、并判断用户U1为女性的情况下(S4)，将送风机5的每分钟转速设定为将当前运转中或者上次运转结束时的送风机5的每分钟转速降低了的降低转速(αN)(转速降低步骤，S6)。另外，并不限定降低转速(αN)相对于维持转速(N)的大小，不过例如可以是80％(α＝0.80)或者70％(α＝0.70)。On the other hand, when the current cooling operation or blowing operation, or the operation mode at the end of the previous operation is cooling operation or blowing operation, and it is judged that the user U1 is female (S4), the blower 5 is set to The rotational speed is set to a reduced rotational speed (αN) obtained by reducing the rotational speed per minute of the air blower 5 during the current operation or at the end of the previous operation (rotational speed reduction step, S6). In addition, the magnitude of the reduced rotational speed (αN) relative to the maintained rotational speed (N) is not limited, but may be, for example, 80% (α=0.80) or 70% (α=0.70).
接着，判断制冷循环是处于运转中(制冷运转中、制热运转中等)还是处于停止中(送风运转中)(S7)，在处于运转中的情况下继续该运转，另一方面，在制冷循环停止的情况下起动制冷循环(起动步骤S8)。Next, it is judged whether the refrigeration cycle is in operation (cooling operation, heating operation, etc.) or stopped (air blowing operation) (S7). When the cycle is stopped, the refrigeration cycle is started (starting step S8).
由此，使送风机5以设定好的每分钟转速(维持转速或降低转速)旋转，朝向用户U1或用户U1站立的最近位置P0集中地吹出调节空气(集中吹出步骤，S9)。Thereby, the air blower 5 is rotated at the set RPM (maintain the RPM or reduce the RPM), and concentratedly blow out the conditioned air toward the user U1 or the nearest position P0 where the user U1 stands (concentrated blowing step, S9).
接着，判断用户U1是否从最近位置P0(脸部识别范围52正下方的范围)移动到了其他位置(S10)。Next, it is determined whether or not the user U1 has moved from the nearest position P0 (the range immediately below the face recognition range 52 ) to another position ( S10 ).
在图7中，在判断用户U1持续停留在最近位置P0的情况下(S10)，在集中吹出开始到经过预先确定的时间(以下称为“集中吹出时间”)为止(S11)，继续集中吹出步骤(S9)。In FIG. 7, when it is judged that the user U1 continues to stay at the nearest position P0 (S10), the concentrated blowing is continued until a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as "concentrated blowing time") elapses from the start of the concentrated blowing (S11). Step (S9).
另一方面，在经过了集中吹出时间的情况下(S11)，在送风机5以降低转速旋转时(S12)，使送风机5的每分钟转速恢复至维持转速(转速恢复步骤，S13)，停止集中吹出，使送风机5以维持转速旋转，朝向包括用户U1和最近位置P0在内的大范围分散地吹出调节空气(分散吹出步骤，S14)。在此期间，只要未按下结束按钮(S15)，则回到判断用户U1是否移动的步骤(S10)，在结束按钮被按下后，使制冷循环的运转停止。On the other hand, when the concentrated blowing time has passed (S11), when the air blower 5 rotates at a reduced speed (S12), the speed per minute of the air blower 5 is restored to the maintenance speed (speed recovery step, S13), and the concentration is stopped. For blowing out, the air blower 5 is rotated at a constant rotation speed, and the conditioned air is blown out in a dispersed manner over a wide range including the user U1 and the nearest position P0 (distributed blowing step, S14 ). During this period, as long as the end button is not pressed (S15), it returns to the step of judging whether the user U1 moves (S10), and after the end button is pressed, the operation of the refrigeration cycle is stopped.
在图8中，在判断用户U1从最近位置P0移动到室内的其他场所的情况下(S10)，追踪用户U1，确定用户U1的位置(以下称为“用户位置P1”)(跟踪步骤，S16)。In Fig. 8, when it is judged that the user U1 moves from the nearest position P0 to other indoor places (S10), the user U1 is tracked to determine the position of the user U1 (hereinafter referred to as "user position P1") (tracking step, S16 ).
接着，到经过集中吹出时间为止(S17)，使送风机5以设定好的每分钟转速旋转，朝向用户位置P1集中地吹出调节空气(跟踪集中吹出步骤，S18)。Next, until the concentrated blowing time elapses (S17), the air blower 5 is rotated at the set RPM, and the conditioned air is blown out intensively toward the user position P1 (following the concentrated blowing step, S18).
另一方面，在经过了集中吹出时间的情况下(S17)，在送风机5以降低转速旋转时(S19)，使送风机5的每分钟转速恢复至维持转速(跟踪转速恢复步骤，S20)，停止集中吹出，使送风机5以维持转速旋转，朝向包括用户位置P1的周围在内的范围分散地吹出调节空气(跟踪分散吹出步骤，S21)。On the other hand, when the centralized blowing time has passed (S17), when the air blower 5 rotates at a reduced speed (S19), the speed per minute of the air blower 5 is returned to the maintenance speed (tracking speed recovery step, S20), and the air blower is stopped. For centralized blowing, the air blower 5 is rotated at a constant rotation speed, and the conditioned air is blown out in a dispersed manner over a range including the periphery of the user position P1 (following and distributed blowing step, S21 ).
并且，在按下设于未图示的遥控器的结束按钮时(S22)，停止制冷循环的运转。另一方面，在结束按钮未被按下的时候，回到跟踪步骤(S16)，反复此后的步骤。另外，无论是步骤S1以后的哪一个步骤，在结束按钮被按下的情况下(未图示)，都停止制冷循环的运转。Then, when an end button provided on a remote controller (not shown) is pressed (S22), the operation of the refrigeration cycle is stopped. On the other hand, when the end button is not pressed, it returns to the tracing step (S16), and the subsequent steps are repeated. In addition, in any step after step S1, when the end button is pressed (not shown), the operation of the refrigeration cycle is stopped.
(作用效果)(Effect)
室内机100通过执行以上的控制流程而得到以下的作用效果。The indoor unit 100 obtains the following effects by executing the above control flow.
用户U1通过站立在室内机100的最近位置P0，不必操作遥控器等就会有调节空气集中地朝向自身吹出，因此能够简单且迅速地受到调节空气(能够快速地变得凉爽或温暖)。When the user U1 stands at the closest position P0 of the indoor unit 100, the conditioned air is blown toward him in a concentrated manner without operating a remote control etc.
此时，在制冷运转中或送风运转中或者要开始制冷运转或送风运转时，在判断用户U1为女性的情况下，降低送风机5的每分钟转速。由此，对女性吹送比男性更少量(更低速)的冷风，因此防止了原本“不耐冷”的女性感到寒冷而不快。At this time, if the user U1 is judged to be female during the cooling operation or the ventilation operation or when the cooling operation or the ventilation operation is about to be started, the rpm of the blower 5 is reduced. As a result, a smaller amount (lower speed) of cold wind is blown to women than to men, thereby preventing women who are originally "cold intolerant" from feeling cold and unhappy.
并且，在用户U1移动了的情况下，用户U1被跟踪而能够在确定的移动目的地受到调节空气，因此在该情况下，也不必操作遥控器等而会有调节空气朝向自身吹出，因此能够简单且迅速地受到调节空气。In addition, when the user U1 moves, the user U1 is tracked and can receive conditioned air at the specified moving destination. Therefore, in this case, the conditioned air is blown toward the user without operating a remote control or the like. Simply and quickly receive conditioned air.
并且，在运转停止中的情况下，运转起动，因此能够省去寻找遥控器等的麻烦。因而，无需特殊的作业，就能够快速地凉爽(温暖)，因此增加了便利性和舒适性。In addition, since the operation is started when the operation is stopped, it is possible to save the trouble of searching for a remote controller or the like. Therefore, cooling (warming) can be performed quickly without special work, thereby increasing convenience and comfort.
并且，在用户U1温暖(凉爽)了时，将集中吹出切换为分散吹出，因此用户U1不会过冷(过热)且能够将调节空气送至室内的大范围(与不限定于用户位置P1而包括用户位置P1的周围的范围相同)，从而能够使室内的大范围成为舒适的空调环境。And, when the user U1 is warmed (cool), the centralized blowing is switched to the distributed blowing, so the user U1 will not be overcooled (overheated) and the conditioned air can be sent to a wide range of the room (not limited to the user position P1 but The surrounding area including the user position P1 is the same), so that a large indoor area can be provided with a comfortable air-conditioned environment.
另外，在以制冷运转或送风运转朝向女性集中吹出的情况下，送风机以降低转速旋转，另一方面，在进行分散吹出的情况下，送风机以维持转速旋转，因此消除了女性的不快感，并且能够使室内的大范围的空调环境良好。In addition, in the case of concentrated blowing toward women in cooling operation or blowing operation, the blower rotates at a reduced speed, and on the other hand, in the case of distributed blowing, the blower rotates at a constant speed, so that the discomfort of women is eliminated. And it can make the air-conditioning environment in a large range of the room good.
(吹出要领)(Blow out essentials)
图9～图11是说明图1所示的空调机的室内机的调节空气的吹出要领的俯视图。以上，示出了朝向用户位置P1连续地送风的情况，然而本发明并不限定于此，也可以通过遥控器等的操作实现的“送风模式”的切换来朝向用户位置P1间歇性地送风(以下称为“摆动送风”)。FIGS. 9 to 11 are plan views illustrating how the conditioned air is blown out from the indoor unit of the air conditioner shown in FIG. 1 . In the above, the case where the air is blown continuously toward the user position P1 has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is also possible to intermittently blow air toward the user position P1 by switching the "air blowing mode" realized by operating a remote controller or the like. Air supply (hereinafter referred to as "swing air supply").
而且，通过遥控器等的操作，或者也可以是：决定预先确定的时间(以下称为“分散吹出开始时间”，例如，15分钟)，在经过该分散吹出开始时间后，不限定于用户位置P1地向室内的大范围均匀地吹送(分散吹出)调节空气。以下，分别进行说明。And, by the operation of the remote control etc., or also can be: determine the predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as "distributed blowing start time", for example, 15 minutes), after this dispersed blowing start time has passed, it is not limited to the user's position. The conditioned air is uniformly blown (distributed blown) over a wide range of the room at P1. Hereinafter, each will be described.
(集中吹出)(concentrated blowing)
在图9中，在用户位置P1处于室内90的左侧(从室内机100观察左手)的情况下，右侧左右风向板群10R和左侧左右风向板群10L双方(参照图3)成为朝向用户位置P1吹出调节空气的姿势(集中吹出的姿势)。因此，与向室内90大致均匀地吹出调节空气的(分散吹出的)情况相比，用户U1集中地受到更长时间或者更大量的调节空气。In FIG. 9, when the user position P1 is on the left side of the room 90 (the left hand viewed from the indoor unit 100), both the right side louver group 10R and the left side louver group 10L (refer to FIG. The user position P1 is a posture in which conditioned air is blown out (a posture in which blowout is concentrated). Therefore, compared with the case where the conditioned air is blown substantially uniformly into the room 90 (distributed blowing), the user U1 receives the conditioned air intensively for a longer time or in a larger amount.
即，用户U1在从气温高的(或者低的)外部进入室内90时，无需寻找遥控器并按下在遥控器设置的运转开始按钮的操作，仅通过使脸部F1接近室内机100，就能够开始强力(大功率)的运转。而且，在强力运转开始后，若移动并立定或坐下的话，该位置被作为用户位置P1自动地确定，朝向用户位置P1吹送强力的冷气或暖气(设定吹出温度)，因此无需为了使调节空气可靠地到达自身的位置而操作遥控器等。因而，提高了便利性和舒适性。That is, when the user U1 enters the indoor unit 90 from outside where the temperature is high (or low), there is no need to search for the remote controller and press the operation start button provided on the remote controller. Powerful (high power) operation can be started. Moreover, after the powerful operation starts, if you move and stand or sit down, this position is automatically determined as the user position P1, and powerful cold air or warm air is blown toward the user position P1 (set the blowing temperature), so there is no need to adjust The air reliably arrives at its own position to operate the remote control and the like. Thus, convenience and comfort are improved.
即，相对于用户U1实现了局部的“强力的凉感(大功率制冷)模式”或者“强力的热感(大功率制热)模式”。That is, a local "powerful cool feeling (high-power cooling) mode" or "strong heat feeling (high-power heating) mode" is realized for the user U1.
另外，吹出的调节空气的空气流在刚被吹出后被看成是具有与吹出口7的大小大致相同的剖面的大致均匀的流速的束，然而其在室内90流动的过程中与周围的空气混合而扩散，因此实际上到达用户位置P1的空气流具有比吹出口7的大小大的剖面，在该剖面内也成为流动的方向和流速各种各样的空气流的束的集合。In addition, the air flow of the conditioned air that is blown out is regarded as a bundle of substantially uniform flow velocity having a cross-section substantially the same size as that of the blower outlet 7 immediately after being blown out. Mixed and diffused, the air flow that actually reaches the user position P1 has a cross section larger than the size of the outlet 7, and in this cross section also becomes a bundle of air flows with various flow directions and flow velocities.
因此，本发明中“朝向用户位置P1吹送调节空气”和“集中吹出”意味着使所述扩展开的空气流平均化时的中央“朝向特定的位置”，意味着调节空气也到达用户位置P1的周围。Therefore, in the present invention, "blow the conditioned air toward the user position P1" and "concentrate blow out" mean "toward a specific position" at the center when the spread air flow is averaged, and mean that the conditioned air also reaches the user position P1 around.
(分散吹出)(distributed and blown out)
在图10或图11中，也可以是，左侧左右风向板群10L被固定成总是朝向用户位置P1吹出调节空气的姿势，右侧左右风向板群10R以在包括用户位置P1和用户位置P2在内的预定的范围(图中，以α表示)往复并吹出调节空气的方式转动(摆动)。In FIG. 10 or FIG. 11 , the left and right louver groups 10L may be fixed in a posture that always blows conditioned air toward the user position P1, and the right and left louver groups 10R may be positioned to include the user position P1 and the user position. It rotates (oscillates) so as to reciprocate and blow out conditioned air within a predetermined range (indicated by α in the figure) including P2.
这样的话，朝向识别的用户U1集中地吹出更大量的调节空气，从而提高了用户U1的舒适性，并且在除用户位置P1以外的范围，间歇性地吹出更少量的调节空气。In this way, a larger amount of conditioned air is blown intensively toward the identified user U1, thereby improving the comfort of the user U1, and a smaller amount of conditioned air is blown intermittently in a range other than the user position P1.
因此，在不想曝于直接的风流中的用户U2处于与用户位置P1不同的位置即用户位置P2的情况下，通过向用户位置P2间歇性地吹出更少量的调节空气，从而也维持了用户U2的舒适性。Therefore, even when user U2, who does not want to be exposed to direct wind currents, is in user position P2, which is a different position from user position P1, by intermittently blowing a smaller amount of conditioned air to user position P2, user U2 is also maintained. comfort.
例如，如图10所示，也可以是，左侧左右风向板群10L被固定成总是朝向用户位置P1吹出调节空气的姿势，右侧左右风向板群10R以在包括用户位置P1和用户位置P2的预定的范围(图中，以α表示)往复并吹出调节空气的方式转动(摆动)。For example, as shown in FIG. 10 , the left and right louver groups 10L may be fixed in such a way that the conditioned air is always blown toward the user position P1, and the right and left louver groups 10R may be positioned to include the user position P1 and the user position. The predetermined range of P2 (indicated by α in the figure) rotates (oscillates) so as to reciprocate and blow out conditioned air.
这样的话，朝向识别的用户U1集中地吹出更大量的调节空气，从而提高了用户U1的舒适性，并且在除用户位置P1以外的范围，间歇性地吹出更少量的调节空气。In this way, a larger amount of conditioned air is blown intensively toward the identified user U1, thereby improving the comfort of the user U1, and a smaller amount of conditioned air is blown intermittently in a range other than the user position P1.
因此，在与用户U1体温(或者体感温度)不同的用户U2处于与用户位置P1不同的位置即用户位置P2的情况下，通过向用户位置P2间歇性地吹出更少量的调节空气，从而也维持了用户U2的舒适性。Therefore, when the user U2 whose body temperature (or body temperature) is different from that of the user U1 is at the user position P2 which is different from the user position P1, a smaller amount of conditioned air is blown intermittently to the user position P2, thereby also maintaining The comfort of user U2 is improved.
(摆动吹出)(swing blow out)
并且，如图11所示，也可以是，右侧左右风向板群10R和左侧左右风向板群10L双方在包括用户位置P1和用户位置P2的预定的范围(图中，以α表示)转动(摆动)并吹出调节空气，在朝向用户位置P1的范围(图中，以β表示)，相对于除此以外的范围使摆动速度变缓(延长吹出时间)。这样的话，与图10所示的情况同样地，与识别的用户U1一起，也维持了与用户U1体温(或体感温度)不同的用户U2的舒适性。Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11 , both the right louver group 10R and the left louver group 10L may rotate within a predetermined range (indicated by α in the figure) including the user position P1 and the user position P2. (Swing) and blow out the conditioned air, and in the range toward the user position P1 (indicated by β in the figure), the swing speed is slowed down (the blowing time is extended) compared to other ranges. In this case, similarly to the case shown in FIG. 10 , the comfort of the user U2 whose body temperature (or sensible temperature) is different from that of the user U1 is also maintained along with the recognized user U1.
另外，集中吹出的要领的选定(图9、图10或图11所示的任意的选定)可以预先确定，或者也可以是用户U1在集中吹出开始时或开始后通过遥控器等确定或变更。In addition, the selection of the method of concentrated blowing (arbitrary selection shown in FIG. 9, FIG. 10, or FIG. 11) may be predetermined, or may be determined by the user U1 through a remote controller or the like when the concentrated blowing starts or after the start. change.
另外，也可以使右侧左右风向板群10R和左侧左右风向板群10L双方的转动(摆动)同步，朝向用户位置P1间歇性地送风。In addition, the rotation (swing) of both the right side louver group 10R and the left side louver group 10L may be synchronized to intermittently blow air toward the user position P1.
此时，在未受到送风的时间段，用户U1的体温表观上回升。即，从冷(热)处进入室内的用户U1的平均的体温逐渐上升(下降)，但与受到送风的时间段相比，未受到送风的时间段的体温更低。At this time, the body temperature of the user U1 apparently rises during the period of time when the air is not blown. That is, the average body temperature of the user U1 who enters the room from a cold (hot) place gradually increases (decreases), but the body temperature is lower in the time period not receiving air blowing than in the time period receiving air blowing.

Flowchart of the process. In addition, the same code|symbol is attached|subjected to the same part as Embodiment 1, or a corresponding part, and some description is abbreviate|omitted.
本发明的实施方式2涉及的空调机的室内机(以下称为“室内机”)200检测用户U1的体温，并根据检测出的体温来变更调节空气的吹出温度。即，实施方式1中说明的室内机100在制冷运转时或送风运转时朝向女性以降低转速使送风机旋转，相对于此，实施方式2中说明的室内机200在制冷运转时或送风运转时朝向女性以降低转速使送风机旋转并且根据检测出的体温来变更吹出温度。Indoor unit (hereinafter referred to as "indoor unit") 200 of the air conditioner according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention detects the body temperature of user U1, and changes the outlet temperature of conditioned air according to the detected body temperature. That is, the indoor unit 100 described in Embodiment 1 rotates the air blower toward the female at a reduced speed during the cooling operation or the air blowing operation. Turn the air blower at a reduced speed while facing the woman and change the blowing temperature according to the detected body temperature.
在图12中，室内机200在主体1的前表面且吹出口7的旁边，设置有接收来自遥控器(未图示)的信号的接收装置40、拍摄室内的情况的摄像装置50以及检测室内的温度的测温装置60。In FIG. 12 , the indoor unit 200 is provided with a receiving device 40 for receiving signals from a remote controller (not shown), an imaging device 50 for photographing indoor conditions, and an indoor inspection device 50 on the front surface of the main body 1 and next to the air outlet 7 . The temperature measuring device 60 of the temperature.
并且，在主体1的内部设置有控制装置80，所述控制装置80至少基于摄像装置50拍摄的人的位置信息和测温装置60检测出的人的体温信息来控制制冷循环(未图示的压缩机或制冷剂膨胀阀等)、风向调整装置(上下风向板9和左右风向板10)以及送风机5。Moreover, a control device 80 is provided inside the main body 1, and the control device 80 controls the refrigeration cycle based on at least the position information of the person photographed by the imaging device 50 and the body temperature information of the person detected by the temperature measuring device 60 (not shown). compressor or refrigerant expansion valve, etc.), wind direction adjustment device (up and down wind direction plate 9 and left and right wind direction plate 10) and blower 5.
(摄像装置、测温装置)(camera device, temperature measuring device)
另外，本发明并不限定接收装置40、摄像装置50和测温装置60的形式或设置位置，例如，可以使摄像装置50为具有100万以下的像素的CCD摄像机，使测温装置60为红外线传感器，并将两者一起设置在例如前面板2的中央部，或者分别设置在离开的位置。In addition, the present invention does not limit the form or installation position of the receiving device 40, the imaging device 50 and the temperature measuring device 60. For example, the imaging device 50 can be a CCD camera with less than 1 million pixels, and the temperature measuring device 60 can be an infrared ray sensor. sensor, and both are arranged together, for example, at the central portion of the front panel 2, or are arranged at separate positions.
而且，摄像装置50拍摄的时间间隔和测温装置60检测温度的时间间隔并不限定，是在待机中和制冷循环的运转中能够进行以下说明的控制的被看作是连续的时间间隔(例如，每隔1秒)。Moreover, the time interval between the imaging device 50 and the temperature detection device 60 is not limited, and it is regarded as a continuous time interval during standby and during the operation of the refrigeration cycle that can be controlled as described below (for example, , every 1 second).
(控制装置)(control device)
在图13中，控制装置80与用户(在室者)对应地控制送风机5的每分钟转速和吹出方向(上下风向板9和左右风向板10等的姿势)，并且控制调节空气的吹出温度。In FIG. 13, the control device 80 controls the rotation speed per minute and the blowing direction (postures of the vertical louvers 9 and the left and right louvers 10, etc.) of the air blower 5 corresponding to the user (the occupant), and controls the blowing temperature of the conditioned air.
即，如以下所详细说明地，控制装置80为，对摄像装置50识别脸部F1后的用户U1判断特征并且由测温装置60检测出识别的用户U1(判断特征后的用户U1)的体温T1，基于体温T1设定(变更或维持)吹出温度，并控制上下风向板9和左右风向板10的姿势以朝向该用户U1(在用户U1移动的情况下确定移动目的地并朝向移动目的地)吹出设定好的吹出温度的调节空气。That is, as described in detail below, the control device 80 determines the characteristics of the user U1 after the face F1 is recognized by the imaging device 50 and detects the body temperature of the recognized user U1 (the user U1 after the characteristic determination) by the temperature measuring device 60 . T1, set (change or maintain) the blowing temperature based on the body temperature T1, and control the postures of the vertical louver 9 and the left and right louver 10 to face the user U1 (if the user U1 moves, determine the destination and move toward the destination) ) to blow out conditioned air at the set blowing temperature.
此时，控制装置80设定吹出温度，并且与室内机100同样地判断用户U1的特征(男性或女性)，在判断的特征为女性、且在制冷运转中或送风运转中或者要开始制冷运转或送风运转的时候，降低送风机5的每分钟转速，使女性曝于比男性更少量(更低速)的调节空气(冷风)，从而确保舒适性。At this time, the control device 80 sets the blowing temperature, and judges the characteristics of the user U1 (male or female) similarly to the indoor unit 100. When running or air-supply running, reduce the rotation speed per minute of blower fan 5 so that women are exposed to a smaller amount (lower speed) of conditioned air (cold wind) than men, thereby ensuring comfort.
并且，通过朝向用户U1集中吹出调节空气，并根据检测出的体温T1判断用户U1是否足够凉爽或温暖，设定吹出温度(恢复或维持)并且停止集中吹出而切换为分散吹出。另外，在分散吹出时，即使女性受到冷风，也不会感到不快的寒冷，因此使降低了的每分钟转速回到原始的每分钟转速，推进室内的大范围的制冷。And, by intensively blowing conditioned air toward user U1, and judging whether user U1 is cool or warm enough according to the detected body temperature T1, set the blowing temperature (restore or maintain) and stop concentrated blowing and switch to distributed blowing. In addition, even if a woman is exposed to cold wind during the dispersed blowing, she will not feel uncomfortable cold, so the reduced RPM is returned to the original RPM, and the cooling of the room is promoted in a wide range.
因此，控制装置80至少具有用于执行在后述的控制流程(图14～16)中记载的各步骤的构件(脸部识别构件、特征判断构件、转速维持构件、体温判断构件、温度设定构件、起动构件、集中吹出指令构件、温度恢复构件、转速恢复构件、分散吹出指令构件、跟踪构件、跟踪集中吹出指令构件、跟踪温度恢复构件、跟踪转速恢复构件、跟踪分散吹出指令构件)。Therefore, the control device 80 has at least means for executing each step described in the control flow ( FIGS. component, starting component, concentrated blowing command component, temperature recovery component, rotational speed recovery component, dispersed blowing command component, tracking component, tracking concentrated blowing command component, tracking temperature recovery component, tracking rotational speed recovery component, tracking dispersed blowing command component).
(用户的体温的判断)(judgment of temperature of user)
基于测温装置60检测的室内的温度(准确来说是温度分布)，确定用户位置P1处的用户U1的体温。接着，在确定的体温处于预先确定的“标准温度范围”以外的情况下，如以下说明地变更调节空气的吹出温度。另外，在摄像装置50未识别脸部的情况下，不实施以下说明的控制。Based on the indoor temperature (more precisely, the temperature distribution) detected by the temperature measuring device 60, the body temperature of the user U1 at the user position P1 is determined. Next, when the determined body temperature is outside the predetermined "standard temperature range", the outlet temperature of the conditioned air is changed as described below. In addition, when the imaging device 50 does not recognize a face, the control described below is not performed.
(吹出温度的设定)(Setting of blowing temperature)
在确定的体温比预先确定的“标准温度范围”的上限温度(例如，38℃)高的情况下，判断用户U1从热的室外进入室内或者刚洗完澡而想要快速变凉爽，在为当前运转中的情况下，将调节空气的吹出温度变更为比该时刻的调节空气的吹出温度低的温度(例如，低5℃的温度)，另外，在为当前停止中的情况下，变更为比在上次的运转停止时设定的调节空气的吹出温度低的温度(例如，低5℃的温度)(强力吹出、大功率吹出)。When the determined body temperature is higher than the upper limit temperature (for example, 38° C.) of the predetermined “standard temperature range”, it is judged that the user U1 enters the room from the hot outside or wants to cool down quickly after taking a bath. When the current operation is in progress, change the blowing temperature of the conditioned air to a temperature lower than the blowing temperature of the conditioned air at that time (for example, a temperature lower than 5°C), and when it is currently stopped, change it to A temperature lower than the blowing temperature of the conditioned air set at the time of the last stop of operation (for example, a temperature lower by 5° C.) (strong blowing, high-power blowing).
另一方面，在确定的体温比预先确定的“标准温度范围”的下限温度(例如，35℃)低的情况下，判断用户U1从寒冷的室外进入室内而想要快速变温暖，在为当前运转中的情况下，将调节空气的吹出温度变更为比该时刻的调节空气的吹出温度高的温度(例如，高5℃的温度)，另外，在为当前停止中的情况下，变更为比在上次的运转停止时设定的调节空气的吹出温度高的温度(例如，高5℃的温度)(强力吹出、大功率吹出)。On the other hand, when the determined body temperature is lower than the lower limit temperature (for example, 35° C.) of the predetermined “standard temperature range”, it is judged that the user U1 enters the room from the cold outside and wants to get warm quickly. When the operation is in progress, change the blowing temperature of the conditioned air to a temperature higher than the blowing temperature of the conditioned air at that time (for example, a temperature higher than 5°C), and when it is currently stopped, change it to a temperature higher than The blowing temperature of the conditioned air set at the time of the last stop of operation is high (for example, 5° C. higher temperature) (strong blowing, high-power blowing).
并且，在确定的体温为预先确定的“标准温度范围”以内的温度(例如，35～38℃)的情况下，判断用户U1想要调节空气朝向自身集中地吹出，在为当前运转中的情况下，将调节空气的吹出温度保持为该时刻的调节空气的吹出温度不变，另外，在为当前停止中的情况下，设定为与上次的运转停止时设定的调节空气的吹出温度相同的温度(标准吹出)。In addition, when the determined body temperature is within the predetermined "standard temperature range" (for example, 35-38°C), it is determined that the user U1 wants to adjust the air to be blown out concentratedly toward himself, which is the case in the current operation. In this case, the blowing temperature of the conditioned air is maintained at the same time as the blowing temperature of the conditioned air at that time, and in the case of the current stop, it is set to the blowing temperature of the conditioned air that was set when the operation was stopped last time. Same temperature (standard blowout).
另外，在使右侧左右风向板群10R和左侧左右风向板群10L双方的转动(摆动)同步，朝向用户位置P1间歇性地送风的情况下，在未受到送风的时间段，用户U1的体温表观上回升。即，从冷(热)处进入室内的用户U1的平均的体温在强力吹出步骤中逐渐上升(下降)，但对于测温装置60实际检测出的温度来说，与受到送风的时间段相比，未受到送风的时间段的体温更低。因此，优选将在未受到送风的(朝向用户位置P1以外吹出的)时间段，测温装置60检测出的温度作为“体温”。In addition, when the rotation (swing) of both the right louver group 10R and the left louver group 10L is synchronized to intermittently blow air toward the user position P1, the user may U1's body temperature apparently rises. That is, the average body temperature of the user U1 entering the room from a cold (hot) place gradually rises (falls) in the strong blowing step, but for the temperature actually detected by the temperature measuring device 60, it is the same as the time period when the air is blown. The body temperature is lower than that of the time period without air supply. Therefore, it is preferable to use the temperature detected by the temperature measuring device 60 as the "body temperature" during the period of time when no air is blown (blow toward the user position other than P1).
(控制流程)(control flow)
在图14中，当在脸部识别范围52停留(持续停留)至少脸部识别时间的期间时(S101)，控制装置70识别为“用户U1是期望向自身送风的人”(用户识别步骤，S102)。而且，判断识别的用户U1的特征(男性或女性)(特征判断步骤，S103)。In FIG. 14 , when staying in the face recognition range 52 (staying continuously) for at least the face recognition time (S101), the control device 70 recognizes that "the user U1 is a person who desires to blow air to himself" (user recognition step , S102). Also, the characteristic (male or female) of the recognized user U1 is judged (characteristic judging step, S103).
接着，在当前制冷运转中或送风运转中或者上次运转结束时的运转模式为制冷运转或送风运转，在未判断用户U1为女性的情况下(与当前运转中或者上次运转结束时的运转模式为制热的情况，或者当前制冷运转中或送风运转中或者上次运转结束时的运转模式为制冷或送风运转且判断用户U1为男性的情况相同，S104)，将送风机5的每分钟转速设定为当前运转中或者上次运转结束时的送风机5的维持转速(N)(转速维持步骤，S105)。Next, when the current cooling operation or the ventilation operation or the operation mode at the end of the previous operation is the cooling operation or the ventilation operation, if the user U1 is not judged to be female (the same as the current operation or the previous operation completion) The operation mode of user U1 is heating, or the current operation mode is cooling or air supply operation during cooling operation or air supply operation, or the operation mode at the end of the previous operation is the same as the case where it is judged that the user U1 is male, S104), and the air blower 5 The rotation speed per minute is set as the maintenance rotation speed (N) of the air blower 5 during the current operation or at the end of the last operation (speed maintenance step, S105).
另一方面，在当前运转中或者上次运转结束时的运转模式为制冷、并判断用户U1为女性的情况下(S104)，降低当前运转中或者上次运转结束时的送风机5的每分钟转速而将送风机5的每分钟转速设定为降低转速(αN)(转速降低步骤，S106)。另外，并不限定降低转速(αN)相对于维持转速(N)的大小，不过例如可以是80％(α＝0.80)或者70％(α＝0.70)。On the other hand, when the operation mode is cooling during the current operation or at the end of the previous operation, and it is determined that the user U1 is female (S104), the rpm of the air blower 5 during the current operation or at the end of the previous operation is reduced. And the rotation speed per minute of the air blower 5 is set to the reduced rotation speed (αN) (the rotation speed reduction step, S106). In addition, the magnitude of the reduced rotational speed (αN) relative to the maintained rotational speed (N) is not limited, but may be, for example, 80% (α=0.80) or 70% (α=0.70).
接着，测温装置60检测识别的用户U1的体温(T1)(S107)，判断体温(T1)是否是预先设定的标准温度范围内的温度(体温判断步骤，S108)。Next, the temperature measuring device 60 detects the body temperature (T1) of the identified user U1 (S107), and judges whether the body temperature (T1) is within a preset standard temperature range (body temperature judging step, S108).
接着，在体温(T1)为比标准温度范围的上限温度(TU)高的温度(T1>TU)的情况下，将调节空气的吹出温度设定为比当前运转中的调节空气的吹出温度或者在上次运转停止时设定的调节空气的吹出温度低的吹出温度(T-ΔT)(温度设定步骤，S109之1)。Next, when the body temperature (T1) is higher than the upper limit temperature (TU) of the standard temperature range (T1>TU), the outlet temperature of the conditioned air is set to be higher than the outlet temperature of the conditioned air currently in operation or The outlet temperature (T-ΔT) is lower than the outlet temperature of the conditioned air set when the operation was stopped last time (temperature setting step, 1 of S109).
而且，在体温(T1)为比标准温度范围的下限温度(TL)低的温度(T1<TL)的情况下，将调节空气的吹出温度设定为比当前运转中的调节空气的吹出温度或者在上次运转停止时设定的调节空气的吹出温度高的吹出温度(T+ΔT)(温度设定步骤，S109之2)。In addition, when the body temperature (T1) is lower than the lower limit temperature (TL) of the standard temperature range (T1<TL), the outlet temperature of the conditioned air is set to be higher than the outlet temperature of the conditioned air currently in operation or The blowing temperature (T+ΔT) is higher than the blowing temperature of the conditioned air set when the operation was stopped last time (temperature setting step, S109-2).
而且，在体温(T1)为处于所述标准温度范围内的温度(TL≤T1≤TU)的情况下，将调节空气的吹出温度设定为与当前运转中的调节空气的吹出温度或者在上次运转停止时设定的调节空气的吹出温度相同的吹出温度(T)(温度设定步骤，S109之3)。Also, when the body temperature (T1) is within the standard temperature range (TL≤T1≤TU), the blowing temperature of the conditioned air is set to be equal to or higher than the blowing temperature of the conditioned air currently in operation. The blowing temperature (T) is the same as the blowing temperature of the conditioned air set when the operation is stopped (temperature setting step, 3 of S109).
接着，判断制冷循环是处于运转中(制冷运转中、制热运转中等)还是处于停止(送风运转)(S110)，在停止的情况下起动制冷循环(起动步骤，S111)。Next, it is determined whether the refrigeration cycle is in operation (cooling operation, heating operation, etc.) or stopped (ventilation operation) (S110), and if stopped, the refrigeration cycle is started (starting step, S111).
由此，使送风机5以设定好的每分钟转速(维持转速或降低转速)旋转，朝向用户U1或用户U1站立的最近位置P0集中地吹出调节空气(集中吹出步骤，S112)。Thereby, the air blower 5 is rotated at the set RPM (maintain the RPM or reduce the RPM), and concentratedly blow out the conditioned air toward the user U1 or the nearest position P0 where the user U1 stands (concentrated blowing step, S112).
接着，判断用户U1是否从最近位置P0(脸部识别范围52正下方的范围)移动到了其他位置(S113)。Next, it is judged whether the user U1 has moved from the nearest position P0 (the range immediately below the face recognition range 52 ) to another position ( S113 ).
在图15中，在判断用户U1持续停留在最近位置P0的情况下(S113)，判断测温装置60检测出的用户U1的体温(T2)是否是预先设定的标准温度范围内的温度(S114)。In FIG. 15, when it is judged that the user U1 continues to stay at the nearest position P0 (S113), it is judged whether the body temperature (T2) of the user U1 detected by the temperature measuring device 60 is within the preset standard temperature range (S113). S114).
于是，在判断体温(T2)是处于标准温度范围内的温度(TL≤T2≤TU)的情况下，恢复至设定调节空气的吹出温度之前的吹出温度(T)(温度恢复步骤，S115)。另外，在体温(T2)达到标准温度范围内为止，只要未按下结束按钮，则回到所述集中吹出步骤(S112)，继续之后的步骤。Then, when it is judged that the body temperature (T2) is a temperature within the standard temperature range (TL≤T2≤TU), return to the blowout temperature (T) before setting the blowout temperature of the conditioned air (temperature recovery step, S115) . In addition, until the body temperature (T2) reaches the standard temperature range, as long as the end button is not pressed, it returns to the above-mentioned collective blowing step (S112), and continues the following steps.
并且，恢复到设定吹出温度前的吹出温度(T)的时候，在送风机5以降低转速旋转时(S116)，使送风机5的每分钟转速恢复至维持转速(转速恢复步骤，S117)，停止集中吹出，使送风机5以维持转速旋转，朝向包括用户U1和最近位置P0的周围的范围分散地吹出设定前的吹出温度(T)的调节空气(分散吹出步骤，S118)。在此期间，只要未按下结束按钮(S119)，则判断用户U1是否移动了(S113)，继续以后的步骤。And, when returning to the blowing temperature (T) before setting the blowing temperature, when the blower 5 rotates with a reduced speed (S116), the speed per minute of the blower 5 is returned to the maintenance speed (speed recovery step, S117), and stop Concentrated blowing, the blower 5 is rotated at a constant rotation speed, and the conditioned air of the blowing temperature (T) before setting is blown out in a dispersed manner toward the surrounding range including the user U1 and the nearest position P0 (distributed blowing step, S118). During this period, as long as the end button is not pressed (S119), it is judged whether the user U1 has moved (S113), and the subsequent steps are continued.
在图16中，在判断用户U1从最近位置P0移动到室内的其他场所的情况下(S113)，追踪用户U1，确定用户U1的位置(以下称为“用户位置P1”)(跟踪步骤，S120)。接着，在到测温装置60检测出的用户U1的体温(T2)达到预先设定的标准温度范围内的温度范围内(TL≤T2≤TU)为止(S121)，使送风机5以设定好的每分钟转速(维持转速或降低转速)旋转，朝向用户位置P1集中地吹出设定好的吹出温度的调节空气(跟踪集中吹出步骤，S122)。In Fig. 16, when it is judged that the user U1 moves from the nearest position P0 to other indoor places (S113), the user U1 is tracked to determine the position of the user U1 (hereinafter referred to as "user position P1") (tracking step, S120 ). Next, until the body temperature (T2) of the user U1 detected by the temperature measuring device 60 reaches the temperature range (TL≤T2≤TU) within the preset standard temperature range (S121), the blower 5 is set to The rotation speed per minute (maintain the rotation speed or reduce the rotation speed) rotates, and the conditioned air with the set blowing temperature is blown out intensively toward the user position P1 (tracking and concentrated blowing step, S122).
并且，在测温装置60检测出的用户U1的体温(T2)达到预先设定的标准温度范围内的温度范围内(TL≤T2≤TU)的情况下，或者一开始就处于标准温度范围内的情况下(S121)，将设定好的吹出温度恢复至设定前的温度(T)(跟踪温度恢复步骤，S123)。而且，在送风机5以降低转速旋转时(S124)，使送风机5的每分钟转速恢复至维持转速(跟踪转速恢复步骤，S125)。And, when the body temperature (T2) of the user U1 detected by the temperature measuring device 60 reaches the temperature range (TL≤T2≤TU) within the preset standard temperature range, or is within the standard temperature range from the beginning In the case of (S121), the set blowing temperature is restored to the pre-set temperature (T) (tracking temperature recovery step, S123). And, when the air blower 5 is rotating at the reduced rotational speed (S124), the rotational speed per minute of the air blower 5 is returned to the maintenance rotational speed (tracking rotational speed recovery step, S125).
因此，使送风机5以维持转速旋转，朝向包括用户位置P1的周围的范围分散地吹出设定前的吹出温度的调节空气(跟踪分散吹出步骤，S126)。Therefore, the air blower 5 is rotated at the maintained rotation speed, and the conditioned air at the blowing temperature before setting is dispersedly blown out toward the range including the periphery of the user position P1 (following and distributed blowing step, S126 ).
并且，在按下设于未图示的遥控器的结束按钮时(S127)，停止制冷循环的运转。另一方面，在结束按钮未被按下的时候，回到跟踪步骤(S120)，反复此后的步骤。Then, when an end button provided on a remote controller (not shown) is pressed (S127), the operation of the refrigeration cycle is stopped. On the other hand, when the end button is not pressed, it returns to the tracking step (S120), and the subsequent steps are repeated.
另外，无论是步骤S1以后的哪一个步骤，在结束按钮被按下的情况下(未图示)，都停止制冷循环的运转。In addition, in any step after step S1, when the end button is pressed (not shown), the operation of the refrigeration cycle is stopped.
(作用效果)(Effect)
室内机200通过执行以上的控制流程而在室内机100(实施方式1)起到的作用效果之外，得到以下的作用效果。The indoor unit 200 obtains the following functions and effects in addition to the functions and effects exerted by the indoor unit 100 (Embodiment 1) by executing the above control flow.
从冷(热)处进入室内的体温低(高)的用户U1通过站立在室内机200的最近位置P0，能够利用强力的调节空气(吹出温度变更了)而快速地温暖(凉爽)。另外，当用户U1在足够温暖(凉爽)前，从最近位置P0移动到其他位置的时候，用户U1被跟踪而能够在确定的位置处通过强力的调节空气(吹出温度变更了)而快速地温暖(凉爽)。The user U1 with a low (high) body temperature who enters the room from a cold (hot) place can be quickly warmed (cooled) by strong conditioned air (the blowing temperature has been changed) by standing at the closest position P0 of the indoor unit 200 . In addition, when the user U1 moves from the nearest position P0 to another position before it is sufficiently warm (cool), the user U1 is tracked and can quickly warm up at the determined position by strongly adjusting the air (the blowing temperature is changed) (cool).
另一方面，想要当前运转中的调节空气(吹出温度不变更)朝向自身吹出的用户U1通过站立在室内机200的最近位置P0，能够受到当前运转中的调节空气。On the other hand, the user U1 who wants to blow out the conditioned air currently in operation (without changing the blowing temperature) can receive the conditioned air in operation by standing at the closest position P0 of the indoor unit 200 .
并且，在用户U1温暖(凉爽)了的时候，恢复至吹出温度变更前的温度的“不强力的调节空气”被送至用户位置P1，因此无需特别的作业，就能够享受舒适的空调环境。In addition, when the user U1 is warmed (cooled), the "soft conditioned air" returned to the temperature before the blowout temperature change is sent to the user position P1, so that the user can enjoy a comfortable air-conditioned environment without special work.
另外，在用户U1持续站立在最近位置P0且体温(T2)保持为标准温度范围以外的温度(T2<TL，TU<T2)的情况下，调节空气的吹出温度也回到设定前的吹出温度(T)，因此在这样的情况下，用户U1暂时离开最近位置P0，并再次使脸部F1被识别。In addition, when the user U1 continues to stand at the nearest position P0 and the body temperature (T2) remains outside the standard temperature range (T2<TL, TU<T2), the blowing temperature of the conditioned air also returns to the blowing out before setting. temperature (T), so in this case the user U1 temporarily leaves the nearest position P0 and makes the face F1 recognized again.
另外，以上，记载了设定(变更、维持)调节空气的吹出温度，然而也可以取代吹出温度，设定制冷循环中的制冷剂温度(例如，压缩机的出口温度、制冷剂膨胀阀的出口温度等)。In addition, above, it has been described to set (change, maintain) the blowing temperature of the conditioned air, but instead of the blowing temperature, the temperature of the refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle (for example, the outlet temperature of the compressor, the outlet of the refrigerant expansion valve, etc.) may be set. temperature, etc.).
