Embodiment Construction

[0066] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0067] A general household air conditioner is usually composed of an outdoor unit and an indoor unit connected to each other through a refrigerant line, and Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show the indoor unit of the air conditioner of the present invention.

[0068] The indoor unit has a main body 2 and a movable front panel (hereinafter referred to as the front panel) 4 that can freely open and close the front opening 2a of the main body 2. When the air conditioner is stopped, the front panel 4 is close to the main body 2 to close the front opening 2a. Conversely, when the air conditioner is running, the front panel 4 moves away from the body 2, opening the front opening 2a. 1 shows a state where the front panel 4 closes the front opening 2a, and FIG. 2 shows a state where the front panel 4 opens the front opening 2a.

[0069] As shown in Figure 3, inside the main body 2, there is...

Abstract

The present invention provides an air conditioner having an indoor device for allocating the human body detecting sensor to the position with sufficient view field. At lease one human body detecting sensor (26, 28, 30, 32, 34) is installed on the upper side of the indoor device for insuring if a person is detecting to control the running of the air conditioner.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an air conditioner provided with a human detection sensor for detecting whether there is a person on an indoor unit. Background technique [0002] Conventional air conditioners are provided with a human detection sensor on an indoor unit to detect the presence of a person by using the human detection sensor to perform comfortable and efficient air conditioning operation (for example, refer to Patent Document 1 or 2). [0003] In addition, when the air conditioner is operated using only the human body detection sensor, when the person is sleeping, the person hardly moves. Therefore, it is often determined that no one is present, and the air conditioner stops operating. An air conditioner has been proposed in which an indoor unit is provided with a human detection sensor and a photosensor (for example, refer to Patent Document 3). [0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-241003 [0005] [Patent Do...
