　制御装置４２は、受信装置４１によって受信された情報をもとに、空気調和用通信装置３の周囲の温度が空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された温度に近づくと共に、当該周囲の湿度が空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された湿度に近づくように冷凍サイクル装置１１を制御する。具体的には、制御装置４２は、受信装置４１によって受信された情報をもとに冷凍サイクル装置１１を構成する圧縮機５１及び膨張機構５３の動作を制御する。これにより、当該周囲の温度は空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された温度に近づき、当該周囲の湿度は空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された湿度に近づく。 Based on the information received by the receiving device 41, the control device 42 approaches the temperature set for the air conditioning communication device 3 and the ambient humidity. Controls the refrigeration cycle apparatus 11 so as to approach the humidity set for the air conditioning communication apparatus 3. Specifically, the control device 42 controls the operations of the compressor 51 and the expansion mechanism 53 that constitute the refrigeration cycle device 11 based on the information received by the receiving device 41. Accordingly, the ambient temperature approaches the temperature set for the air conditioning communication device 3, and the ambient humidity approaches the humidity set for the air conditioning communication device 3.
　例えば、空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された温度と空気調和用通信装置３の周囲の温度との差があらかじめ決められた第１閾値より大きく、かつ空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された湿度と空気調和用通信装置３の周囲の湿度との差があらかじめ決められた第２閾値より大きい場合、制御装置４２は、空気調和用通信装置３の周囲の温度が空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された温度に近づくと共に、当該周囲の湿度が空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された湿度に近づくように冷凍サイクル装置１１を制御する。 For example, the difference between the temperature set for the air conditioning communication device 3 and the ambient temperature of the air conditioning communication device 3 is larger than a predetermined first threshold value, and the air conditioning communication device 3 When the difference between the set humidity and the ambient humidity of the air conditioning communication device 3 is greater than a predetermined second threshold, the control device 42 determines that the ambient temperature of the air conditioning communication device 3 is equal to the air conditioning communication. The refrigeration cycle apparatus 11 is controlled such that the ambient humidity approaches the humidity set for the air conditioning communication device 3 while approaching the temperature set for the device 3.
　上述の通り、実施の形態１に係る空気調和システム１では、空気調和用通信装置３は、設定された温度を示す設定温度情報と、設定された湿度を示す設定湿度情報と、温度計３４によって計測された温度を示す計測温度情報と、湿度計３５によって計測された湿度を示す計測湿度情報と、位置検出機構３６によって検出された位置を示す位置情報とを室内機４に無線で送信する機能を有する。室内機４は、空気調和用通信装置３からの情報をもとに、空気調和用通信装置３の周囲の温度が空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された温度に近づくと共に、当該周囲の湿度が空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された湿度に近づくように冷凍サイクル装置１１を制御する。 As described above, in the air conditioning system 1 according to Embodiment 1, the air conditioning communication device 3 includes the set temperature information indicating the set temperature, the set humidity information indicating the set humidity, and the thermometer 34. A function of wirelessly transmitting measured temperature information indicating the measured temperature, measured humidity information indicating the humidity measured by the hygrometer 35, and position information indicating the position detected by the position detection mechanism 36 to the indoor unit 4. Have On the basis of information from the air conditioning communication device 3, the indoor unit 4 approaches the temperature set for the air conditioning communication device 3 while the ambient temperature of the air conditioning communication device 3 approaches The refrigeration cycle apparatus 11 is controlled so that the humidity approaches the humidity set for the air conditioning communication device 3.
　したがって、空気調和システム１は、空気調和用通信装置３の周囲の温度を空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された温度に近づけることができると共に、当該周囲の湿度を空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された湿度に近づけることができる。ユーザが空気調和用通信装置３を所持していれば、空気調和システム１は、ユーザの周囲の温度を空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された温度に近づけることができると共に、ユーザの周囲の湿度を空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された湿度に近づけることができる。ユーザの周囲は、ユーザを中心にしてユーザからあらかじめ決められた距離の範囲内の空間である。あらかじめ決められた距離の一例は、２メートルである。 Therefore, the air conditioning system 1 can bring the ambient temperature of the air conditioning communication device 3 close to the temperature set for the air conditioning communication device 3, and the ambient humidity can be set to the ambient conditioning communication device 3. The humidity can be approached. If the user has the air conditioning communication device 3, the air conditioning system 1 can bring the temperature around the user closer to the temperature set for the air conditioning communication device 3, and Can be brought close to the humidity set for the air conditioning communication device 3. The periphery of the user is a space within a range of a predetermined distance from the user with the user as the center. An example of the predetermined distance is 2 meters.
　ユーザが空気調和用通信装置３を所持していなくても、空気調和用通信装置３がユーザから比較的近い距離の範囲内に置かれた場合、空気調和システム１は、ユーザの周囲の温度を空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された温度に近づけることができると共に、ユーザの周囲の湿度を空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された湿度に近づけることができる。比較的近い距離の一例は、１メートルである。すなわち、空気調和システム１は、ユーザが希望する温度及び湿度の空気調和を実現することができる。 Even if the user does not have the air conditioning communication device 3, if the air conditioning communication device 3 is placed within a relatively close distance from the user, the air conditioning system 1 will adjust the temperature around the user. While being able to approach the temperature set with respect to the communication apparatus 3 for air conditioning, the humidity around a user can be brought close to the humidity set with respect to the communication apparatus 3 for air conditioning. An example of a relatively close distance is 1 meter. That is, the air conditioning system 1 can achieve air conditioning at a temperature and humidity desired by the user.
　空気調和用通信装置３は、設定温度情報、設定湿度情報、計測温度情報、計測湿度情報及び位置情報を周期的に室内機４に送信する。そのため、例えば空気調和用通信装置３を所持するユーザの位置が変化することによって空気調和用通信装置３の周囲の温度及び湿度が変化しても、空気調和システム１は、空気調和用通信装置３の周囲の温度を空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された温度に近づけることができると共に、当該周囲の湿度を空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された湿度に近づけることができる。 The air conditioning communication device 3 periodically transmits the set temperature information, the set humidity information, the measured temperature information, the measured humidity information, and the position information to the indoor unit 4. Therefore, for example, even if the temperature and humidity around the air conditioning communication device 3 change due to a change in the position of the user who owns the air conditioning communication device 3, the air conditioning system 1 does not change the air conditioning communication device 3. The ambient temperature can be brought close to the temperature set for the air conditioning communication device 3, and the ambient humidity can be brought closer to the humidity set for the air conditioning communication device 3.
　ユーザによって設定された温度を示す設定温度情報と、ユーザによって設定された湿度を示す設定湿度情報とは、メモリ３３ａに記憶される。そのため、ユーザは、希望する温度及び湿度を示す情報を空気調和用通信装置３に一度入力すれば、希望する温度及び湿度を変更するまで、希望する温度及び湿度を示す情報を空気調和用通信装置３に入力する必要がない。つまり、空気調和用通信装置３は、ユーザが希望する温度及び湿度を示す情報が一度入力されれば、ユーザが希望する温度及び湿度が変更されるまで、ユーザが希望する温度及び湿度を示す情報をユーザに入力させることを省略させることができる。ユーザが希望する温度及び湿度を変更して設定温度情報及び設定湿度情報の内容が変更された場合、送信装置３８は変更後の設定温度情報及び設定湿度情報を室内機４に送信する。 The set temperature information indicating the temperature set by the user and the set humidity information indicating the humidity set by the user are stored in the memory 33a. Therefore, once the user inputs information indicating the desired temperature and humidity to the air conditioning communication device 3, the information indicating the desired temperature and humidity is input to the air conditioning communication device until the desired temperature and humidity are changed. There is no need to enter 3. In other words, once the information indicating the temperature and humidity desired by the user is input once, the air conditioning communication device 3 is information indicating the temperature and humidity desired by the user until the temperature and humidity desired by the user are changed. Can be omitted from the user. When the temperature and humidity desired by the user are changed and the contents of the set temperature information and the set humidity information are changed, the transmission device 38 transmits the changed set temperature information and set humidity information to the indoor unit 4.
　ところで、室内機４がユーザの位置を認識する機能を有している場合がある。その場合、ユーザと室内機４との間に障害物が存在しているとき、室内機４はユーザの位置を認識することができないので、空気調和用通信装置３が存在しなければ、ユーザが所望する空気調和を空気調和機２が行うことは困難である。しかしながら、実施の形態１に係る空気調和システム１は空気調和用通信装置３を有しており、空気調和用通信装置３は、上述の設定温度情報、設定湿度情報、計測温度情報、計測湿度情報及び位置情報を室内機４に送信する。そのため、ユーザと室内機４との間に障害物が存在していても、ユーザが空気調和用通信装置３を所持するか空気調和用通信装置３がユーザから比較的近い距離の範囲内に置かれ、かつ空気調和用通信装置３からの情報が室内機４に届く状況であれば、空気調和機２はユーザが所望する空気調和を行うことができる。 Incidentally, the indoor unit 4 may have a function of recognizing the position of the user. In that case, when there is an obstacle between the user and the indoor unit 4, the indoor unit 4 cannot recognize the position of the user. Therefore, if the air conditioning communication device 3 does not exist, the user It is difficult for the air conditioner 2 to perform desired air conditioning. However, the air-conditioning system 1 according to Embodiment 1 includes the air-conditioning communication device 3, and the air-conditioning communication device 3 includes the above-described set temperature information, set humidity information, measured temperature information, and measured humidity information. And the position information is transmitted to the indoor unit 4. Therefore, even if there is an obstacle between the user and the indoor unit 4, the user has the air conditioning communication device 3 or the air conditioning communication device 3 is located within a relatively short distance from the user. In addition, if the information from the air conditioning communication device 3 reaches the indoor unit 4, the air conditioner 2 can perform the air conditioning desired by the user.
　上述した実施の形態１では、空気調和用通信装置３は入力部３１を有しており、ユーザは入力部３１を用いて希望する温度及び湿度を示す情報を空気調和用通信装置３に入力する。しかしながら、空気調和機２の運転を制御する遠隔制御装置が空気調和用通信装置３とは別に設けられている場合、ユーザが希望する温度及び湿度を示す情報は、ユーザによって遠隔制御装置に入力された後に、遠隔制御装置から空気調和用通信装置３に入力されてもよい。 In the first embodiment described above, the air conditioning communication device 3 has the input unit 31, and the user inputs information indicating the desired temperature and humidity to the air conditioning communication device 3 using the input unit 31. . However, when a remote control device for controlling the operation of the air conditioner 2 is provided separately from the air conditioning communication device 3, information indicating the temperature and humidity desired by the user is input to the remote control device by the user. After that, it may be input from the remote control device to the air conditioning communication device 3.
　遠隔制御装置は、ユーザの指示にしたがって、空気調和機２に例えば冷房運転又は暖房運転を行わせる装置である。いずれにしても、メモリ３３ａは、設定された温度を示す設定温度情報と、設定された湿度を示す設定湿度情報とを記憶する。空気調和用通信装置３は、遠隔制御装置と一体のものであってもよい。 The remote control device is a device that causes the air conditioner 2 to perform, for example, a cooling operation or a heating operation in accordance with a user instruction. In any case, the memory 33a stores set temperature information indicating the set temperature and set humidity information indicating the set humidity. The air conditioning communication device 3 may be integrated with the remote control device.
　上述した実施の形態１では、温度計３４及び湿度計３５は計測を常時行う。しかしながら、温度計３４及び湿度計３５は、あらかじめ決められた時間の間隔をおいて計測を繰り返し行ってもよい。つまり、温度計３４及び湿度計３５は計測を周期的に行ってもよい。 In the first embodiment described above, the thermometer 34 and the hygrometer 35 always perform measurement. However, the thermometer 34 and the hygrometer 35 may repeat measurement at predetermined time intervals. That is, the thermometer 34 and the hygrometer 35 may perform measurement periodically.
　空気調和用通信装置３は、空気調和用通信装置３から室内機４への向きを特定する向き特定部を有していてもよい。空気調和用通信装置３が向き特定部を有している場合、送信装置３８は向き特定部によって特定された向きを示す情報も室内機４に無線で送信する。室内機４では、受信装置４１が向きを示す情報を受信し、制御装置４２は、向きを示す情報を用いて空気調和用通信装置３の位置をより正確に特定する。 The air conditioning communication device 3 may include a direction specifying unit that specifies the direction from the air conditioning communication device 3 to the indoor unit 4. When the air conditioning communication device 3 has a direction specifying unit, the transmission device 38 also wirelessly transmits information indicating the direction specified by the direction specifying unit to the indoor unit 4. In the indoor unit 4, the reception device 41 receives the information indicating the direction, and the control device 42 specifies the position of the air conditioning communication device 3 more accurately using the information indicating the direction.
　空気調和用通信装置３から室内機４に送信される位置情報は、空気調和用通信装置３の位置についての誤差の情報を含む場合があるので、制御装置４２は、向きを示す情報を用いることにより、空気調和用通信装置３の位置をより正確に特定することができる。空気調和機２は、空気調和用通信装置３の位置をより正確に特定することにより、空気調和用通信装置３の周囲の温度を空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された温度に近づけることと、当該周囲の湿度を空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された湿度に近づけることとをより精度良く行うことができる。向き特定部は、例えば位置検出機構３６の内部に位置する。向き特定部の一例は、加速度センサである。 Since the position information transmitted from the air conditioning communication device 3 to the indoor unit 4 may include error information about the position of the air conditioning communication device 3, the control device 42 uses information indicating the direction. Thus, the position of the air conditioning communication device 3 can be specified more accurately. The air conditioner 2 moves the temperature around the air conditioning communication device 3 closer to the temperature set for the air conditioning communication device 3 by more accurately specifying the position of the air conditioning communication device 3. And it is possible to perform the ambient humidity closer to the humidity set for the air conditioning communication device 3 with higher accuracy. The orientation specifying unit is located inside the position detection mechanism 36, for example. An example of the orientation specifying unit is an acceleration sensor.
　送信装置３８は、設定温度情報が示す温度と温度計３４によって計測された温度との差があらかじめ決められた第１閾値を超えた場合、又は、設定湿度情報が示す湿度と湿度計３５によって計測された湿度との差があらかじめ決められた第２閾値を超えた場合、設定温度情報、設定湿度情報、計測温度情報、計測湿度情報及び位置情報を室内機４に無線で送信してもよい。その場合、送信装置３８から室内機４への通信データの送信の回数は抑制される。すなわち、その場合、空気調和システム１は、空気調和用通信装置３の周囲の温度を空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された温度に近づけることができると共に、当該周囲の湿度を空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された湿度に近づけることができ、かつ送信装置３８から室内機４への情報の送信に係る電力を抑制することができる。 The transmitter 38 measures the difference between the temperature indicated by the set temperature information and the temperature measured by the thermometer 34 exceeding a predetermined first threshold value, or the humidity indicated by the set humidity information and the hygrometer 35. When the difference from the measured humidity exceeds a predetermined second threshold, the set temperature information, the set humidity information, the measured temperature information, the measured humidity information, and the position information may be transmitted to the indoor unit 4 wirelessly. In that case, the frequency | count of transmission of the communication data from the transmitter 38 to the indoor unit 4 is suppressed. That is, in that case, the air conditioning system 1 can bring the ambient temperature of the air conditioning communication device 3 close to the temperature set for the air conditioning communication device 3, and the ambient humidity is used for air conditioning. It is possible to approach the humidity set for the communication device 3 and to suppress power related to transmission of information from the transmission device 38 to the indoor unit 4.
　室内機４の制御装置４２は、設定温度情報が示す温度と計測温度情報が示す温度との差が第１閾値を超えた場合、又は、設定湿度情報が示す湿度と計測湿度情報が示す湿度との差が第２閾値を超えた場合、空気調和用通信装置３の周囲の温度が空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された温度に近づくと共に、当該周囲の湿度が空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された湿度に近づくように冷凍サイクル装置１１を制御してもよい。 When the difference between the temperature indicated by the set temperature information and the temperature indicated by the measured temperature information exceeds the first threshold, the control device 42 of the indoor unit 4 or the humidity indicated by the set humidity information and the humidity indicated by the measured humidity information When the difference between the two values exceeds the second threshold value, the ambient temperature of the air conditioning communication device 3 approaches the temperature set for the air conditioning communication device 3, and the ambient humidity is the air conditioning communication device 3. The refrigeration cycle apparatus 11 may be controlled so as to approach the humidity set for the.
　上述した実施の形態１では、メモリ３３ａはマイクロコンピュータ３３に含まれる。しかしながら、メモリ３３ａはマイクロコンピュータ３３に含まれなくてもよい。つまり、メモリ３３ａは、空気調和用通信装置３に含まれていれば、マイクロコンピュータ３３の外に位置していてもよい。上述した実施の形態１では、記憶部３７はマイクロコンピュータ３３の外に位置しているが、記憶部３７はマイクロコンピュータ３３に含まれてもよい。更に言うと、メモリ３３ａ及び記憶部３７の機能はひとつの記憶媒体によって実現されてもよい。 In the first embodiment described above, the memory 33a is included in the microcomputer 33. However, the memory 33a may not be included in the microcomputer 33. In other words, the memory 33 a may be located outside the microcomputer 33 as long as it is included in the air conditioning communication device 3. In the first embodiment described above, the storage unit 37 is located outside the microcomputer 33, but the storage unit 37 may be included in the microcomputer 33. Furthermore, the functions of the memory 33a and the storage unit 37 may be realized by a single storage medium.
　上述のように室内機４がユーザの位置を認識する機能を有する場合があるが、ユーザの位置を認識する機能を有する室内機４は、ユーザの一例である子供を認識することが困難である場合がある。子供は、遠隔制御装置を用いて空気調和機２が行う空気調和を制御することが困難である場合もある。そのため、空気調和用通信装置３は子供に所持されてもよい。空気調和用通信装置３は、ペットに所持されてもよい。設定温度情報及び設定湿度情報は子供の保護者又はペットの飼い主によって入力されてもよい。この場合、室内機４は、子供又はペットに対して設定温度情報及び設定湿度情報をもとにした空気調和を行うことができる。 Although the indoor unit 4 may have a function of recognizing the user's position as described above, the indoor unit 4 having a function of recognizing the user's position is difficult to recognize a child that is an example of the user. There is a case. The child may have difficulty controlling the air conditioning performed by the air conditioner 2 using the remote control device. Therefore, the air conditioning communication device 3 may be carried by a child. The air conditioning communication device 3 may be carried by a pet. The set temperature information and set humidity information may be input by a child guardian or a pet owner. In this case, the indoor unit 4 can perform air conditioning based on the set temperature information and the set humidity information for the child or the pet.
　空気調和用通信装置３が子供又はペットに所持される場合に温度計３４及び湿度計３５が子供又はペットの体温に反応することを防止するために、空気調和用通信装置３の筐体の一部は温度計３４及び湿度計３５と空間により離される。又は、空気調和用通信装置３の筐体の一部と温度計３４及び湿度計３５との間に、断熱材が設けられる。空気調和用通信装置３は、当該一部が子供又はペットに接するように子供又はペットに所持される。 In order to prevent the thermometer 34 and the hygrometer 35 from reacting to the body temperature of the child or pet when the air conditioning communication device 3 is carried by a child or pet, one of the casings of the air conditioning communication device 3 is used. The part is separated from the thermometer 34 and the hygrometer 35 by a space. Alternatively, a heat insulating material is provided between a part of the housing of the air conditioning communication device 3 and the thermometer 34 and the hygrometer 35. The air conditioning communication device 3 is carried by the child or pet so that the part of the communication device 3 contacts the child or pet.
　空気調和用通信装置３は、温度計３４と湿度計３５とのうちの一方を有していなくてもよい。空気調和用通信装置３が温度計３４を有していて湿度計３５を有していない場合、空気調和用通信装置３の送信装置３８は、設定温度情報、計測温度情報及び位置情報を室内機４に送信する機能を有する。室内機４の受信装置４１は、送信装置３８から設定温度情報、計測温度情報及び位置情報を受信し、室内機４の制御装置４２は、受信装置４１によって受信された設定温度情報、計測温度情報及び位置情報をもとに冷凍サイクル装置１１を制御する。この場合、空気調和システム１は、空気調和用通信装置３の周囲の温度を空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された温度に近づけることができる。空気調和用通信装置３が温度計３４を有していて湿度計３５を有していない場合、送信装置３８は、設定温度情報が示す温度と温度計３４によって計測された温度との差が第１閾値を超えた場合、設定温度情報、計測温度情報及び位置情報を室内機４に送信してもよい。 The air-conditioning communication device 3 may not have one of the thermometer 34 and the hygrometer 35. When the air conditioning communication device 3 includes the thermometer 34 and does not include the hygrometer 35, the transmission device 38 of the air conditioning communication device 3 transmits the set temperature information, the measured temperature information, and the position information to the indoor unit. 4 has a function to transmit. The receiving device 41 of the indoor unit 4 receives the set temperature information, measured temperature information, and position information from the transmitting device 38, and the control device 42 of the indoor unit 4 receives the set temperature information and measured temperature information received by the receiving device 41. The refrigeration cycle apparatus 11 is controlled based on the position information. In this case, the air conditioning system 1 can bring the temperature around the air conditioning communication device 3 closer to the temperature set for the air conditioning communication device 3. When the air conditioning communication device 3 has the thermometer 34 and does not have the hygrometer 35, the transmission device 38 has a difference between the temperature indicated by the set temperature information and the temperature measured by the thermometer 34. When the threshold value is exceeded, the set temperature information, the measured temperature information, and the position information may be transmitted to the indoor unit 4.
　空気調和用通信装置３が温度計３４を有しておらず湿度計３５を有している場合、空気調和用通信装置３の送信装置３８は、設定湿度情報、計測湿度情報及び位置情報を室内機４に送信する機能を有する。室内機４の受信装置４１は、送信装置３８から設定湿度情報、計測湿度情報及び位置情報を受信し、室内機４の制御装置４２は、受信装置４１によって受信された設定湿度情報、計測湿度情報及び位置情報をもとに冷凍サイクル装置１１を制御する。この場合、空気調和システム１は、空気調和用通信装置３の周囲の湿度を空気調和用通信装置３に対して設定された湿度に近づけることができる。空気調和用通信装置３が温度計３４を有しておらず湿度計３５を有している場合、送信装置３８は、設定湿度情報が示す湿度と湿度計３５によって計測された湿度との差が第２閾値を超えた場合、設定湿度情報、計測湿度情報及び位置情報を室内機４に送信してもよい。 When the air conditioning communication device 3 does not have the thermometer 34 but has the hygrometer 35, the transmission device 38 of the air conditioning communication device 3 sends the set humidity information, the measured humidity information, and the position information indoors. It has a function to transmit to the machine 4. The receiving device 41 of the indoor unit 4 receives the set humidity information, measured humidity information, and position information from the transmitting device 38, and the control device 42 of the indoor unit 4 receives the set humidity information and measured humidity information received by the receiving device 41. The refrigeration cycle apparatus 11 is controlled based on the position information. In this case, the air conditioning system 1 can bring the humidity around the air conditioning communication device 3 closer to the humidity set for the air conditioning communication device 3. When the air conditioning communication device 3 does not have the thermometer 34 but has the hygrometer 35, the transmission device 38 has a difference between the humidity indicated by the set humidity information and the humidity measured by the hygrometer 35. When the second threshold is exceeded, the set humidity information, the measured humidity information, and the position information may be transmitted to the indoor unit 4.
　上述した実施の形態１では、室内機４は室内熱交換器４３を有し、室外機５は圧縮機５１、室外熱交換器５２、膨張機構５３及び四方切換弁５４を有する。膨張機構５３は、室外機５ではなく室内機４に含められてもよい。このように、冷凍サイクル装置１１の一部は室内機４に含まれ、冷凍サイクル装置１１の残部は室外機５に含まれる。 In the first embodiment described above, the indoor unit 4 includes the indoor heat exchanger 43, and the outdoor unit 5 includes the compressor 51, the outdoor heat exchanger 52, the expansion mechanism 53, and the four-way switching valve 54. The expansion mechanism 53 may be included in the indoor unit 4 instead of the outdoor unit 5. Thus, a part of the refrigeration cycle apparatus 11 is included in the indoor unit 4, and the remaining part of the refrigeration cycle apparatus 11 is included in the outdoor unit 5.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a processing circuit 46 in a case where at least some of the components configuring the transmission device 38 are realized by the processing circuit 46. That is, at least some of the functions of the input unit 31, the reception unit 32, the data generation unit 33 b, the thermometer 34, the hygrometer 35, the position detection mechanism 36, and the transmission device 38 may be realized by the processing circuit 46.
　処理回路４６は、専用のハードウェアである。処理回路４６は、例えば、単一回路、複合回路、プログラム化されたプロセッサ、並列プログラム化されたプロセッサ、ＡＳＩＣ（Application　Specific　Integrated　Circuit）、ＦＰＧＡ（Field-Programmable　Gate　Array）、又はこれらを組み合わせたものである。入力部３１、受付部３２、データ生成部３３ｂ、温度計３４、湿度計３５、位置検出機構３６及び送信装置３８の一部は、残部とは別個の専用のハードウェアであってもよい。 The processing circuit 46 is dedicated hardware. The processing circuit 46 is, for example, a single circuit, a composite circuit, a programmed processor, a parallel programmed processor, an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), or a combination thereof. It is. The input unit 31, the reception unit 32, the data generation unit 33 b, the thermometer 34, the hygrometer 35, the position detection mechanism 36, and a part of the transmission device 38 may be dedicated hardware separate from the rest.

It is a figure which shows the processor 56 in case at least one part function is implement | achieved by the processor 56. FIG. That is, at least some of the functions of the input unit 31, the reception unit 32, the thermometer 34, the hygrometer 35, the position detection mechanism 36, and the transmission device 38 are realized by the processor 56 that executes a program stored in the memory 57.
