Control method and apparatus for air-conditioner
First Claim
1. A control method for an air-conditioner, comprising:
- a first step of reading in, at a predetermined detection time interval, a detected temperature Tm of the atmosphere near a remote controller;
a second step of adding, when a difference between a present or new detected temperature Tm and a last or old detected temperature Tm(old) is more than a predetermined value, a first correction value corresponding to a temperature difference (Ts -Tm) to a set temperature Ts set in advance to thereby obtain a corrected set temperature Tsc, and of adding, when a difference between a present or new detected temperature Tm and a last or old detected temperature Tm(old) is less than said predetermined value, a second correction value corresponding to a temperature difference (Ts -Tm) to a last or old set temperature Tsc(old) to thereby obtain a corrected set temperature Tsc ; and
a third step of operating a compressor in dependency upon a difference between said corrected set temperature Tsc and a detected temperature Ta of a suction or inlet air.

Abstract
A detected temperature Tm of the atmosphere of a remote controller is read in at a predetermined detection time interval. When a difference between a present or new detected temperature Tm and a last or old detected temperature Tm(old) is above a predetermined value, a first correction value corresponding to the temperature difference (Ts -Tm) is added to a set temperature Ts set in advance to thereby determine a set temperature Tsc. On the other hand, when a difference between a present or new detected temperature Tm and a last or old detected temperature Tm(old) is less than the predetermined value, a second correction value corresponding to the temperature difference (Ts -Tm) is added to the last or old set temperature Tsc(old) to thereby determine a corrected set temperature Tsc, thus to operate a compressor motor in dependency upon a difference between the corrected set temperature Tsc and a detected temperature of a suction or inlet air.

7. A control apparatus for an air-conditioner comprising a remote controller and a main controller,
said remote controller including: -
temperature setting means for setting a set temperature Ts, temperature detection means for detecting an ambient temperature to output a detected temperature Tm signal, mode selector means for selecting an operation mode to attach importance to the ambient temperature of said remote controller or an operation mode to attach importance to the ambient temperature of said main controller, and transmission means for transmitting, to said main controller, at a predetermined detection time interval, signals of the set temperature Ts by said temperature setting means, the detected temperature Tm from said temperature detection means, and an operation mode selected by said mode selector means, said main controller including; receiving means adapted to receive the set temperature Ts signal, the detected temperature Tm signal, and the operation mode signal transmitted from said remote controller, temperature detection means for detecting temperature of a suction or inlet air from the interior of a room to output a detected temperature Ta signal, and frequency command determination means adapted for reading in said detected temperature Tm signal at a predetermined time interval wherein when a difference between a present or new detected temperature Tm and a last or old detected temperature Tm(old) is more than a predetermined value, said frequency command determination means adds a first correction value corresponding to a temperature difference (Ts -Tm) to said set temperature Ts to thereby obtain a corrected set temperature Tsc, while when a difference between a present or new detected temperature Tm and a last or old detected temperature Tm(old) is less than said predetermined value, said frequency command determination means adds a second correction value corresponding to the temperature difference (Ts -Tm) to the last or old set temperature Tsc(old) to thereby obtain a corrected set temperature Tsc, thus to determine an Operation frequency f of a compressor in dependency upon a difference between said corrected set temperature Tsc and the detected temperature Ta of a suction or inlet air. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
