Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, this type of air conditioner needs to be equipped with both an expensive distance detection device and a position detection device in order to determine the presence or absence of a user and the user's location, so there is a disadvantage of raising product costs and increasing AS (after-sales service) costs due to sensor failures.

Embodiment Construction

[0036] An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] figure 1 It is a perspective view showing an indoor unit of an air conditioner with a user detection device provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0038] figure 1 In the air conditioner indoor unit 10 (hereinafter referred to as the air conditioner), suction ports 12 are formed at the lower parts of both sides to suck in indoor air, and discharge ports 14 are formed at the upper parts of both sides to discharge the air sucked through the suction ports 12 again. to indoors.

[0039] The discharge port 14 is provided with blades 16 not only for opening and closing the discharge port 14 but also for adjusting the wind direction of the discharge air. The upper side of the blades 16 is provided with a driving motor 18 for driving the blades 16 .

[0040] If the drive motor 18 uses a variable reluctance stepping motor (Variable Reluc...

Abstract

The present invention relates to an air conditioner provided with a user detection device and a control method thereof. The air conditioner uses a cheap multichannel heat sensor to judge whether a user exists and the distance to the user, and controls the operation of the air conditioner based on the judgment. With this end in view, the air conditioner provided by the invention conditions the air of the conditioned space through regulating the direction and quantity of the discharged air. The air conditioner comprises the following components: a user detection device which is used for detecting the user information through the temperature value that is measured by a plurality of channels and is generated by the heat source existing in the conditioned space; and an air conditioner control part which is used for judging the user information existing in the conditioned space based on the measured temperature value and controls the operation of the air conditioner based on the judged user information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an air conditioner and a control method thereof, in particular to an air conditioner and its control method for judging the presence or absence of a user and the distance to the user by using a multi-channel thermal sensor, and controlling the operation of the air conditioner based on this method. Background technique [0002] Generally speaking, an air conditioner is a device used to cool or heat an indoor space. The device discharges heat from the surroundings when the liquid refrigerant vaporizes and releases heat when the refrigerant liquefies by applying a normal refrigeration cycle that circulates the refrigerant. Its thermal properties carry out heat exchange with the air (cold air or warm air), thereby regulating the indoor temperature. [0003] This type of air conditioner is equipped with fans and blades to control the air flow (air direction and air volume) of the exhausted air, thereby changing the air volu...
