Title:
AIR CONDITIONING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/037503
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is an air conditioning device that can perform blowing control which takes into account the surface temperature of part of a person's body that is hidden by an obstruction such as a piece of furniture, and that can appropriately blow conditioned air onto the body of a user. Accordingly, this air conditioning device is configured to comprise: a blowing mechanism that can change the wind direction of conditioned air blown out from a blowing out port; a temperature detecting means that detects a surface temperature within a preset detection range; a person's body identifying unit that detects a person's body and identifies a region in which the detected person's body exists on the basis of a detection result of the temperature detecting means; a floor temperature detecting means that detects a floor temperature; an estimated temperature calculating unit that identifies a part of the person's body for which the temperature of the person's body is not detected by the temperature detecting means in the region in which the person's body exists, and calculates an estimated value of the temperature of the identified part of the person's body on the basis of the detection result of the temperature detecting means and a detection result of the floor temperature detecting means; and a blowing control unit that controls the blowing mechanism on the basis of the estimated value of the temperature of the part of the person's body.
