A cooling cycle or dehumidifying cycle is formed in which the refrigerant having passed through the exchanger 14 returns to the compressor 10 through the four-way valve 11. That is, the outdoor heat exchanger 12 functions as a condenser, and the indoor heat exchanger 14 functions as an evaporator.

  On the other hand, in the heating operation, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 10 is switched from the four-way valve 11 to the indoor heat exchanger 14, the expansion valve 13, the outdoor heat exchanger as shown by the broken arrow in the figure when the four-way valve 11 is switched. A heating cycle is formed, which flows in order to 12 and the refrigerant passing through the outdoor heat exchanger 12 returns to the compressor 10 through the four-way valve 11. That is, the indoor heat exchanger 14 functions as a condenser, and the outdoor heat exchanger 12 functions as an evaporator.

  In the indoor unit 2, an indoor fan 16 facing the indoor heat exchanger 14 is disposed. At the outlet of the indoor unit 2, an upper and lower flap 17 is disposed which changes the blowing direction in the vertical direction. Then, in the indoor unit 2, a notification means 18 for giving a notification is disposed. As shown in FIG. 1, an indoor temperature sensor (indoor temperature detection means) 21 for detecting an indoor temperature and an indoor humidity sensor (indoor humidity detection means) 22 for detecting an indoor humidity are attached to the indoor unit 2.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit of the air conditioner 1 includes a compressor 10, a four-way valve 11, an expansion valve 13, a motor 16a for driving the indoor fan 16, and a motor 17a for driving the upper and lower flaps 17. The notification unit 18, the indoor temperature sensor 21, the indoor humidity sensor 22, and the controller 30 are connected. Therefore, the control unit is based on a command from the controller 30 (such as a start operation or a set temperature of the room temperature), the room temperature detected by the room temperature sensor 21, and the room humidity detected by the room humidity sensor 22. , Control of the operation of the air conditioner 1 and the notification by the notification means 18.

  Here, the controller 30 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3A shows a state in which the lid 33 on the upper surface of the controller 30 is opened.

  The left portion 31 of the controller 30 includes a display portion 41, a temperature control dial 42 disposed below the display portion 41, an operation start button 43 disposed inside the temperature control dial 42, and a temperature control dial 42. A stop button 44 disposed on the lower right side is provided. Further, in the right part 32 of the controller 30, a driving selection dial 45, an air volume selection dial 46, and a wind direction selection dial 47 are provided in order from the top.

On the operation display unit 41a, the operation (automatic, cooling, heating, dehumidifying or air blowing operation) selected by the operation selection dial 45 is displayed. Further, the temperature changed by rotating the temperature adjustment dial 42 is displayed on the set temperature display section 41 b.

  The temperature adjustment dial 42 is for changing the set temperature. The set temperature can be raised by rotating the temperature adjustment dial 42 to the right, and the set temperature can be reduced by rotating the temperature adjustment dial 42 to the left. When the operation start button 43 is pressed, the operation selected by the operation selection dial 45 is started, and when the stop button 44 is pressed during operation, the operation is stopped.

  Automatic, cooling, heating, dehumidification, and ventilation can be switched and selected by the operation selection dial 45 of the right part 32 of the controller 30. With the air volume selection dial 46, the air volume can be switched between automatic, fine (small amount), weak (small amount) and strong (large amount). The wind direction selection dial 47 can switch the wind direction automatically, upward (upward), middle (horizontally) or downward (downward) for selection.

  And the cover part which covers the whole is provided in the back surface of the controller 30, and the state which removed the cover part is shown in FIG.3 (b). As shown in FIG. 3B, the mode switching unit 50 is provided on the back surface of the controller 30 when the lid is removed. The mode switching unit 50 can switch the high temperature prevention mode of the air conditioner 1 to any of the forced operation mode, the notification mode, and the off mode.

  In the notification mode, when the room is in a high temperature state or a high humidity state, forced operation is automatically started based on the room temperature and the room humidity. Therefore, when the mode is switched to the notification mode, the forced operation is automatically started even when the user does not perform the operation start operation on the controller 30 when the room is in the high temperature state or the high humidity state. Indoor temperature and humidity decrease.

  Further, in the notification mode, when the room is in a high temperature state or a high humidity state, a notification to prompt start of operation is automatically performed based on the room temperature and the room humidity.

  When the mode is switched to the notification mode, the user can not select the heating (heating operation) with the controller 30 to perform the operation start operation, and select the automatic (automatic operation) to perform the operation start operation of the automatic operation. Can only do. In the air conditioner 1, when the automatic operation is started by the user, the air volume is made lower than the air volume of the cooling operation, and the upper and lower flaps 17 are arranged near the upper end of the movable range to change the blowing direction upward.

  In the air conditioner 1, when determining whether to start forced operation in the notification mode or when determining whether to notify in the notification mode, a determination diagram for the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity is used. In the determination diagram, as shown in FIG. 4, the vertical axis represents room humidity (relative humidity), and the horizontal axis represents room temperature.

  The following describes the notification mode.

  FIG. 4 is an example of the determination diagram in the notification mode. In this determination diagram, a high temperature zone, a monitoring zone, and a standby zone are set. The high temperature zone is a region where the room is in a high temperature state or high humidity state, and it is necessary to reduce the room temperature and the room humidity. The standby zone is an area far from the high temperature zone, and is an area where it is not necessary to reduce the room temperature or the room humidity. The monitoring zone is an area close to the high temperature zone, and is an area in which the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity are easily changed to the high temperature zone.

In the determination diagram of FIG. 4, points A to F indicate points which are the following room temperature and room humidity. Point A: indoor temperature is 27 degrees, indoor humidity is 100% point B: indoor temperature is 27 degrees, indoor humidity is y ₁ between 70-80%, point C : Indoor temperature is 33 degrees, indoor humidity is 30% point D: indoor temperature is 28 degrees, indoor humidity is 100% point E: indoor temperature is 28 degrees, indoor Humidity is y ₂ between 70-80% · Point F: Indoor temperature is 34 ° C and indoor humidity is y ₃ between 30-40%

Then, a line l ₁ of connecting the points A and B and the point C, a line between the waiting zone and monitoring zone, a line l ₂ connecting a point D and point E and point F, and monitoring zone It is a line between the high temperature zone. Accordingly, as shown in the decision diagram of Figure 4, standby zone, a lower left region of the line l _1, the high temperature zone, the upper right area (indoor temperature and the indoor humidity of the line l ₂ is on line l ₂ a certain including the case), the monitoring zone is an area sandwiched between the high temperature zone and the standby zone (indoor temperature and the indoor humidity which might reside on a line l _1).

  Therefore, when the air conditioner 1 is stopped, when switched to the notification mode, the operation operation differs depending on whether the room temperature and the room humidity are in the high temperature zone, the monitoring zone, and the standby zone. Therefore, the driving operation in each zone after switching to the notification mode will be described.

  When the room temperature and the room humidity are in the high temperature zone, it is necessary to reduce the room temperature and the room humidity, so a notification to prompt the start of operation is performed.

  When the room temperature and the room humidity are in the monitoring zone, the room temperature and the room humidity are easily changed to the high temperature zone. Therefore, the room temperature and the room humidity need to be properly detected. In the blowing operation, the compressor is stopped and the indoor fan 16 of the indoor unit is driven. In the air conditioner 1, since the indoor temperature sensor 21 and the indoor humidity sensor 22 are attached to the inside of the indoor unit 2, when the upper and lower flaps 17 are closed when the operation is stopped, heat is accumulated inside the indoor unit In some cases, room temperature and room humidity can not be detected properly. Therefore, when the room temperature and the room humidity are in the monitoring zone, the air flows inside the indoor unit 2 by starting the air blowing operation, so that the room temperature and the room humidity can be properly detected. Here, in the air blowing operation when the room temperature and the room humidity are in the monitoring zone, the air flow rate is lower than the air flow rate in the cooling operation, and the upper and lower flaps 17 are disposed near the upper end of the movable range to make the blowing direction upward. change.

  When the room temperature and the room humidity are in the standby zone, the room temperature and the room humidity do not need to be reduced because the room temperature and the room humidity do not need to be lowered.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the notification mode, when the room temperature and the room humidity are in the high temperature zone, the notification for prompting the start of the operation is started.

  Next, control in the notification mode of the air conditioner 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, when the operation of the air conditioner 1 is stopped, the mode switching unit 50 (see FIG. 3B) of the controller 30 switches to the notification mode (step S1). Here, the case where the room temperature and the room humidity when switched to the notification mode are in the standby zone (see FIG. 4) will be described.

  In the notification mode, it is determined whether the indoor temperature detected by the indoor temperature sensor 21 and the indoor humidity detected by the indoor humidity sensor 22 are in the monitoring zone (step S2). When the room temperature and the room humidity change from the standby zone to the high temperature zone, it is considered to change to the high temperature zone after changing from the standby zone to the monitoring zone. Therefore, in step S2, based on whether the room temperature and the room humidity are in the monitoring zone, it is determined whether the room temperature and the room humidity approach the high temperature zone where the cooling operation needs to be started.

  When it is determined that the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity are in the monitoring zone (step S2: YES), the indoor fan 16 is driven to start the air blowing operation (step S3). When the room temperature and the room humidity are in the monitoring zone near the high temperature zone, the air flows inside the indoor unit 2 by starting the air blowing operation, so that the room temperature and the room humidity can be properly detected.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the room temperature and the room humidity are not in the monitoring zone (step S2: NO), the room temperature and the room humidity are in the standby zone, so it is determined whether the room temperature and the room humidity are in the monitoring zone (Step S2).

  Then, after the air blowing operation is started in step S3, it is determined whether the indoor temperature detected by the indoor temperature sensor 21 and the indoor humidity detected by the indoor humidity sensor 22 are in the monitoring zone (step S4). If it is determined that the room temperature and the room humidity are in the monitoring zone (Step S4: YES), the room temperature and the room humidity can be properly detected because the room temperature and the room humidity are in the monitoring zone near the high temperature zone Thus, the blowing operation is continued (step S3).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the room temperature and the room humidity are not in the monitoring zone (step S4: NO), it is considered that the room temperature and the room humidity change to the standby zone or the high temperature zone after the air blowing operation is started. . Therefore, it is determined whether the room temperature and the room humidity are in the standby zone (step S5). When it is determined that the room temperature and the room humidity are in the standby zone (Step S4: YES), the room temperature and the indoor humidity change from the monitoring zone close to the high temperature zone to the standby zone, so the air blowing operation is stopped. (Step S6). Then, it transfers to step S2 and it is judged whether room temperature and room humidity exist in a monitoring zone. On the other hand, if it is determined that the room temperature and the room humidity are not in the standby zone (step S5: NO), the room temperature and the room humidity are in the high temperature zone, and it is necessary to reduce the room temperature and the room humidity. A notification to start driving is started (step S7).

<Features of the air conditioner of the present embodiment>
In the air conditioner 1 of the present embodiment, when the room is in a state where it is necessary to reduce the room temperature and the room humidity, the notification means 18 automatically performs notification to prompt the start of operation. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the user from becoming a heat stroke or the like because the room temperature and the room humidity can be prevented from continuing for a long time in a high state.

  Further, in the air conditioner 1 of the present embodiment, it is determined whether to perform notification to prompt start of operation based on the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity in a state where the indoor fan 16 is driven and air flows inside the indoor unit 2 Therefore, even if heat is absorbed to the inside of the indoor unit 2 at the time of operation stop when the indoor temperature sensor 21 or the indoor humidity sensor 22 is inside the indoor unit 2, the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity can be properly detected.

  Furthermore, in the air conditioner 1 of the present embodiment, by setting the monitoring zone close to the high temperature zone in which the notification for prompting the start of operation is performed, the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity indicate the high temperature zone in which the notification for promoting the start of operation is performed. When approaching, the indoor fan 16 can be driven. Therefore, it is possible to properly detect the room temperature and the room humidity and determine whether a notification to start the operation is performed.

  In addition, in the air conditioner 1 of the present embodiment, after the indoor fan 16 is driven, the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity are in the monitoring zone near the high temperature zone where the notification for prompting the start of operation is performed. Driving of the fan 16 can be continued. Therefore, it is possible to determine whether the room temperature and the room humidity are properly detected and the notification to start the operation is performed.

  Further, in the air conditioner 1 of the present embodiment, by setting the high temperature zone to a range in which the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity need to be reduced, the operation start is promoted when the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity are in the high temperature zone. Informing can be performed.

  Furthermore, in the air conditioner 1 of the present embodiment, the load on the user can be reduced by making the air volume when the indoor fan 16 is driven smaller than that during the cooling operation.

  In addition, in the air conditioner 1 of the present embodiment, when the indoor fan 16 is driven, the direction of the upper and lower flaps 17 of the indoor unit 2 is changed to change the blowing direction upward, from the indoor unit 2 Because the user does not directly blow the user's wind, the burden on the user can be reduced.

  Further, in the air conditioner 1 of the present embodiment, since the controller 30 can not select the heating operation and perform the operation start operation in the notification mode, the heating operation can be prevented from being erroneously started.

  Furthermore, in the air conditioner 1 of the present embodiment, since only the automatic operation can be selected and the operation start operation can be performed in the notification mode, the heating operation is performed when the outside air temperature is low.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The air conditioner according to the second embodiment differs from the air conditioner according to the first embodiment in the timing at which the notification for prompting the start of operation in the notification mode is performed. In addition, since the other structure is the same as that of the said 1st Embodiment, the description is suitably abbreviate | omitted using the same code | symbol.

  In the air conditioner of the second embodiment, the determination diagram for determining whether to perform notification to prompt the start of operation is the same as the determination diagram (FIG. 4) for the air conditioner of the first embodiment.

  And, in the air conditioner of the first embodiment, in the notification mode, when the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity are in the high temperature zone, the notification to prompt the start of operation is performed, while, in the air conditioner of the second embodiment, In the notification mode, when the room temperature and the room humidity are in the high temperature zone, a notification for prompting the start of the operation is performed, and the notification for promoting the start of the operation is performed when the room temperature and the room humidity are in the monitoring zone for a predetermined time.

  Next, control in the notification mode of the air conditioner of the second embodiment will be described.

  First, when the operation of the air conditioner is stopped, the mode switching unit 50 (see FIG. 3B) of the controller switches to the notification mode (step S21). Here, the case where the room temperature and the room humidity when switched to the notification mode are in the standby zone will be described.

  In the notification mode, it is determined whether the indoor temperature detected by the indoor temperature sensor 21 and the indoor humidity detected by the indoor humidity sensor 22 are in the monitoring zone (step S22). When the room temperature and the room humidity change from the standby zone to the high temperature zone, it is considered to change to the high temperature zone after changing from the standby zone to the monitoring zone. Therefore, in step S22, it is determined whether the room temperature and the room humidity approach a high temperature zone where the cooling operation needs to be started, based on whether the room temperature and the room humidity are in the monitoring zone.

  When it is determined that the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity are in the monitoring zone (step S22: YES), the indoor fan 16 is driven to start the air blowing operation (step S23). When the room temperature and the room humidity are in the monitoring zone near the high temperature zone, the air flows inside the indoor unit 2 by starting the air blowing operation, so that the room temperature and the room humidity can be properly detected.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the room temperature and the room humidity are not in the monitoring zone (step S22: NO), the room temperature and the room humidity are in the standby zone, so the process proceeds to step S22 and the room temperature and the room humidity are Continue to determine if it is in the monitoring zone.

  Then, after the air blowing operation is started in step S23, it is determined whether the indoor temperature detected by the indoor temperature sensor 21 and the indoor humidity detected by the indoor humidity sensor 22 are in the monitoring zone (step S24). If it is determined that the room temperature and the room humidity are not in the monitoring zone (step S24: NO), it is considered that the room temperature and the room humidity change to the standby zone or the high temperature zone after the air blowing operation is started. Therefore, it is determined whether the room temperature and the room humidity are in the standby zone (step S25). If it is determined that the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity are in the standby zone (step S25: YES), the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity change from the monitoring zone close to the high temperature zone to the standby zone, so the air blowing operation is stopped (step S26) The process proceeds to step S22, and the determination as to whether the room temperature and the room humidity are in the monitoring zone is continued. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S25 that the room temperature and the room humidity are not in the standby zone (step S25: NO), the room temperature and the room humidity are in the high temperature zone, and it is necessary to reduce the room temperature and the room humidity. Therefore, a notification to prompt the start of driving is issued (step S27).

<Features of the air conditioner of the present embodiment>
In the air conditioner according to the present embodiment, as in the air conditioner according to the first embodiment, when the room is in a state in which the room temperature and the room humidity need to be reduced, the notification unit 18 prompts the user to start the operation. Is done automatically. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the user from becoming a heat stroke or the like because the room temperature and the room humidity can be prevented from continuing for a long time in a high state.

  Further, in the air conditioner of the present embodiment, after the indoor fan 16 is driven, when the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity are in the monitoring zone for a predetermined time, a notification to prompt start of operation is performed. Therefore, it is possible to notify the user that the room temperature and the room humidity need to be reduced before the notification is necessary to reduce the room temperature and the room humidity.

Third Embodiment
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The air conditioner according to the third embodiment differs from the air conditioner according to the first embodiment in the timing at which the notification for prompting the start of operation in the notification mode is performed. In addition, since the other structure is the same as that of the said 1st Embodiment, the description is suitably abbreviate | omitted using the same code | symbol.

  In the air conditioner of the third embodiment, the determination diagram for determining whether to perform notification to prompt the start of operation is the same as the determination diagram (FIG. 4) for the air conditioner of the first embodiment.

  And, in the air conditioner of the first embodiment, in the notification mode, when the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity are in the high temperature zone, the notification for prompting the start of operation is performed, while in the air conditioner of the third embodiment. In the notification mode, when the indoor temperature or the indoor humidity after the indoor fan 16 is driven is higher than the indoor temperature or the indoor humidity before the indoor fan 16 is driven, a notification to prompt the start of operation is performed.

  Next, control in the notification mode of the air conditioner will be described.

  First, when the operation of the air conditioner is stopped, the mode switching unit 50 (see FIG. 3B) of the controller switches to the notification mode (step S41). Here, the case where the room temperature and the room humidity when switched to the notification mode are in the standby zone will be described.

  In the notification mode, it is determined whether the indoor temperature detected by the indoor temperature sensor 21 and the indoor humidity detected by the indoor humidity sensor 22 are in the monitoring zone (step S42). When the room temperature and the room humidity change from the standby zone to the high temperature zone, it is considered to change to the high temperature zone after changing from the standby zone to the monitoring zone. Therefore, in step S42, it is determined whether the room temperature and the room humidity approach a high temperature zone where the cooling operation needs to be started, based on whether the room temperature and the room humidity are in the monitoring zone.

  When it is determined that the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity are in the monitoring zone (step S42: YES), the indoor fan 16 is driven to start the air blowing operation (step S43). When the room temperature and the room humidity are in the monitoring zone near the high temperature zone, the air flows inside the indoor unit 2 by starting the air blowing operation, so that the room temperature and the room humidity can be properly detected.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the room temperature and the room humidity are not in the monitoring zone (step S42: NO), it is considered that the room temperature and the room humidity are in the standby zone, so the process proceeds to step S2 and the room temperature and room temperature Continue to determine if the indoor humidity is in the monitoring zone.

  Then, after the air blowing operation is started in step S43, it is determined whether the room temperature detected by the room temperature sensor 21 or the room humidity detected by the room humidity sensor 22 is higher than before the air blowing operation is started ( Step S44). If it is determined that the room temperature and the room humidity have risen before the start of the air blowing operation (step S44: YES), the room temperature and the room humidity approach a high temperature zone where the cooling operation needs to be started or It is considered that the temperature and the indoor humidity have changed to the high temperature zone. For this reason, since it is necessary to reduce room temperature and room humidity, the alert which urges start of operation is started (Step S45).

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the room temperature and the room humidity have not risen before the start of the air blowing operation (step S44: NO), the process proceeds to step S43, and the air blowing operation is continued.

<Features of the air conditioner of the present embodiment>
In the air conditioner according to the present embodiment, as in the air conditioner according to the first embodiment, when the room is in a state in which the room temperature and the room humidity need to be reduced, the notification unit 18 prompts the user to start the operation. Is done automatically. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the user from becoming a heat stroke or the like because the room temperature and the room humidity can be prevented from continuing for a long time in a high state.

  Further, in the air conditioner according to the present embodiment, the operation starts when the indoor temperature or the indoor humidity after the indoor fan 16 is driven is higher than the indoor temperature or the indoor humidity before the indoor fan 16 is driven. Notification to prompt the Therefore, the notification can be started before the start of the operation is required to inform the user that it is necessary to reduce the room temperature and / or the room humidity.

Fourth Embodiment
Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The air conditioner according to the fourth embodiment differs from the air conditioner according to the first embodiment in terms of the time when the air blowing operation is performed in the notification mode and the time when a notification to start the operation is performed. In addition, since the other structure is the same as that of the said 1st Embodiment, the description is suitably abbreviate | omitted using the same code | symbol.

  In the air conditioner of the fourth embodiment, the determination diagram shown in FIG. 8 is used for the determination diagram for determining whether to perform notification to prompt the start of operation. The vertical axis of the determination diagram indicates the indoor humidity (relative humidity), and the horizontal axis indicates the indoor temperature.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the high temperature zone and the standby zone are set in the determination diagram. The high temperature zone shown in FIG. 8 is an area where the room temperature and the room humidity need to be reduced, and the standby zone is an area where the room temperature and the room humidity do not need to be reduced. And in the air conditioner of a 4th embodiment, since a monitoring zone is not set, after switching to information mode, ventilation operation is started regularly. The air blowing operation is stopped when a predetermined air blowing time has elapsed.

As shown in the decision diagram of Figure 8, the waiting zone is a lower left region in FIG. 4 and the same line l ₂ of the first embodiment, the high temperature zone, upper right region of a line l ₂ (room temperature and it is including when the indoor humidity is on the line l _2).

  Then, when the room temperature and the room humidity are in the high temperature zone, it is necessary to reduce the room temperature and the room humidity, so a notification to prompt the start of the operation is performed.

  On the other hand, when the room temperature and the room humidity are in the standby zone, the room temperature and the room humidity do not need to be reduced, but the standby zone is an area far from the high temperature zone and an area near the high temperature zone Since the temperature or the indoor humidity tends to change to the high temperature zone), when the room temperature or the indoor humidity tends to rise, since the temperature zone is approaching the high temperature zone, notification to prompt the start of operation is performed. On the other hand, when the room temperature and the room humidity are in the standby zone and the room temperature or the room humidity does not tend to rise, the notification for prompting the start of the operation is not performed. Therefore, when the room temperature and the room humidity are in the standby zone, after the air blowing operation is started, the air blowing operation is stopped when the predetermined air blowing time has elapsed in a state where the notification for prompting the operation start is not performed. .

  As described above, in the air conditioner according to the first embodiment, in the notification mode, when the room temperature and the room humidity are in the high temperature zone, the notification to start the operation is started, while the notification is started in the fourth embodiment. In the air conditioner, in the notification mode, when the room temperature and the room humidity are in the high temperature zone, a notification to start the operation is performed, and after the air blowing operation is started, the room temperature or the room humidity (room temperature and room humidity In the case where at least one of them is in an upward trend, a notification is provided to prompt the start of driving.

  Next, control in the notification mode of the air conditioner will be described.

  First, when the operation of the air conditioner is stopped, the mode switching unit 50 (see FIG. 3B) of the controller 30 switches to the notification mode (step S51). Here, the case where the room temperature and the room humidity when switched to the notification mode are in the standby zone will be described.

  In the notification mode, it is determined whether a predetermined time has elapsed (step S52). If it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed (step S52: NO), the determination is continued until the predetermined time has elapsed. And when predetermined time passes (step S52: YES), a ventilation operation is started (S53). After the air blowing operation is started, it is determined whether the indoor temperature detected by the indoor temperature sensor 21 and the indoor humidity detected by the indoor humidity sensor 22 are in the high temperature zone (step S54). If it is determined that the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity are in the high temperature zone (step S54: YES), a notification to start the operation is started (step S5).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity are not in the high temperature zone (step S54: NO), it is determined whether a predetermined air blowing time has elapsed after the air blowing operation is started (step S56). After the air blowing operation is started, if it is determined that the predetermined air blowing time has elapsed (step S56: YES), the air blowing operation is stopped (step S57). Then, the process proceeds to step S52, and after the air blowing operation is started in step S53, it is determined whether a predetermined air blowing time has elapsed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the predetermined air blowing time has not elapsed after the air blowing operation is started in step S53 (step S56: NO), the room detected by the indoor temperature sensor 21 after the air blowing operation is started. It is determined whether the temperature or the indoor humidity detected by the indoor humidity sensor 22 tends to increase (step S58). If it is determined that the room temperature or the room humidity has a rising tendency (step S58: YES), the room temperature or the room humidity approaches the high temperature zone, and a notification to prompt the start of operation is performed (step S55). On the other hand, when it is determined that the room temperature or the room humidity does not tend to increase (step S58: NO), the process proceeds to step S56, and after the air blowing operation is started, it is determined whether a predetermined air blowing time has elapsed.

<Features of the air conditioner of the present embodiment>
In the air conditioner according to the present embodiment, as in the air conditioner according to the first embodiment, when the room is in a state in which the room temperature and the room humidity need to be reduced, the notification unit 18 prompts the user to start the operation. Is done automatically. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the user from becoming a heat stroke or the like because the room temperature and the room humidity can be prevented from continuing for a long time in a high state.

  Further, in the air conditioner of the present embodiment, since the indoor fan 16 is periodically driven in the notification mode, it is possible to properly detect the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity and determine whether a notification to start the operation is performed.

Fifth Embodiment
Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The air conditioner according to the fifth embodiment includes the air conditioner according to the first embodiment, the point that the notification for prompting the start of operation is stopped when the user selects the cooling operation or the automatic operation in the controller 30, and the cooling operation is performed. This point is different from the point that notification is provided to prompt the user to lower the set temperature when the set temperature is higher than the predetermined temperature when selected. In addition, since the other structure is the same as that of the said 1st Embodiment, the description is suitably abbreviate | omitted using the same code | symbol.

  In the air conditioner of the fifth embodiment, the determination diagram for determining the start of the notification for prompting the start of operation is the same as the determination diagram (FIG. 4) for the air conditioner of the first embodiment. And in the air conditioner of the fifth embodiment, when switched to the notification mode, the user can not select the heating (heating operation) with the controller 30 to perform the operation start operation, and the automatic (automatic operation) or Cooling (cooling operation) can be selected to perform only the operation start operation of the automatic operation or the cooling operation. In the air conditioner, when the automatic operation or the cooling operation is started by the user, the upper and lower flaps 17 are disposed near the upper end of the movable range to change the blowing direction upward.

  Here, the cooling operation in the notification mode in the air conditioner 1 is a cooling operation with a set temperature of 28 ° C. Then, when the room temperature falls by 1 degree or more below the set temperature (when the room temperature becomes 27 degrees or less), the cooling operation is in the thermo-off state. Here, in the thermo-off state, the compressor is stopped and the indoor fan 16 is driven. In the air conditioner 1, when the cooling operation is in the thermo-off state, the air flow rate may be lower than that of the cooling operation, and the upper and lower flaps 17 may be disposed near the upper end of the movable range to change the blowing direction upward. This can reduce the burden on the user.

  Next, control in the notification mode of the air conditioner will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, when the operation of the air conditioner is stopped, the mode switching unit 50 (see FIG. 3B) of the controller 30 switches to the notification mode (step S91). Here, the case where the room temperature and the room humidity when switched to the notification mode are in the standby zone (see FIG. 4) will be described.

  In the notification mode, it is determined whether the indoor temperature detected by the indoor temperature sensor 21 and the indoor humidity detected by the indoor humidity sensor 22 are in the monitoring zone (step S92). When the room temperature and the room humidity change from the standby zone to the high temperature zone, it is considered to change to the high temperature zone after changing from the standby zone to the monitoring zone. Therefore, in step S2, based on whether the room temperature and the room humidity are in the monitoring zone, it is determined whether the room temperature and the room humidity approach a high temperature zone for which notification to prompt the start of operation is required.

  When it is determined that the indoor temperature and the indoor humidity are in the monitoring zone (step S92: YES), the indoor fan 16 is driven to start the air blowing operation (step S93). When the room temperature and the room humidity are in the monitoring zone near the high temperature zone, the air flows inside the indoor unit 2 by starting the air blowing operation, so that the room temperature and the room humidity can be properly detected.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the room temperature and the room humidity are not in the monitoring zone (step S 92: NO), the room temperature and the room humidity are in the standby zone, so it is determined whether the room temperature and the room humidity are in the monitoring zone (Step S92).

  Then, after the air blowing operation is started in step S3, it is determined whether the indoor temperature detected by the indoor temperature sensor 21 and the indoor humidity detected by the indoor humidity sensor 22 are in the monitoring zone (step S94). If it is determined that the room temperature and the room humidity are in the monitoring zone (step S94: YES), the room temperature and the room humidity can be properly detected because the room temperature and the room humidity are in the monitoring zone near the high temperature zone Thus, the blowing operation is continued (step S93).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the room temperature and the room humidity are not in the monitoring zone (step S94: NO), it is considered that the room temperature and the room humidity change to the standby zone or the high temperature zone after the air blowing operation is started. . Therefore, it is determined whether the room temperature and the room humidity are in the standby zone (step S95). When it is determined that the room temperature and the room humidity are in the standby zone (Step S94: YES), the room temperature and the indoor humidity change from the monitoring zone close to the high temperature zone to the standby zone, so the air blowing operation is stopped. (Step S96). Then, it transfers to step S92 and it is judged whether room temperature and room humidity exist in a monitoring zone. On the other hand, if it is determined that the room temperature and the room humidity are not in the standby zone (step S95: NO), the room temperature and the room humidity are in the high temperature zone, and it is necessary to reduce the room temperature and the room humidity. A notification for prompting to start driving is automatically performed (step S97).

  After the notification for prompting to start driving is performed, it is determined whether the user has performed a driving start operation in the controller 30 (step S98). If the user has not performed the operation start operation (step S98: NO), the notification to prompt the operation start is continued.

  On the other hand, when the user performs the operation start operation (step S98: NO), it is determined whether the cooling operation or the automatic operation is selected to perform the operation start operation (step S99). When the cooling operation or the automatic operation is selected and the operation start operation is performed (step S99: YES), the notification for prompting the operation start is stopped (step S100). Then, it is determined whether the operation performed for the operation start operation is the cooling operation (step S101), and if the operation is not the cooling operation (step S101: NO), the automatic operation (the set temperature of the cooling operation 28 ° C.) is performed (Step S102). On the other hand, if the operation performed for the operation start operation is the cooling operation (step S101: YES), the cooling operation is performed (step S103). Then, it is determined whether the set temperature is higher than the predetermined temperature (28 ° C.) (step S104). If the set temperature is less than or equal to the predetermined temperature (NO in step S104), the set temperature is less than or equal to the predetermined temperature (28 ° C.), and the room temperature and the room humidity can be reduced.

  On the other hand, when the set temperature is higher than the predetermined temperature (step S104: YES), since the room temperature and the room humidity can not be reduced, a notification to prompt the user to lower the set temperature is performed (step S105).

  Then, it is determined whether the user has performed an operation to lower the set temperature to the predetermined temperature or less by rotating the temperature adjustment dial 42 in the controller 30 (step S106). When the user performs an operation to lower the set temperature to the predetermined temperature or less (step S106: YES), the notification to prompt the user to lower the set temperature is stopped (step S107). On the other hand, when the user does not perform the operation to lower the set temperature to the predetermined temperature or less (step S104: NO), the notification to continue to lower the set temperature is continued.
