[0002]
[Prior art]
A wide variety of air blowers for exchanging indoor air by supplying and exhausting and ventilating have been developed. Some of them are equipped with heat exchangers and perform ventilation by supply and exhaust while exchanging heat between the supply and exhaust flows. In addition to the ventilation system, an air blower incorporating an air purifying unit for purifying indoor air by circulating indoor air has been developed. In such a blower, many of them have been conventionally controlled by a motor operation control circuit as shown in FIGS.
[0003]
That is, the exhaust blower motor 50 having a speed adjusting notch and the air supply blower motor 51 not having a speed adjusting notch include first and second control switches 52 and 53 and a relay 54. Further, the control unit 55 controls the operation of the motor 50 belonging to the exhaust and the motor 51 belonging to the supply air by two different control methods. The first control switch 52 starts and stops the two motors 50, 51, and the second control switch 53 switches the notch of the motor 50 belonging to exhaust, and is connected via a relay contact 56. It is connected to a motor 50 belonging to the exhaust. When the first control switch 52 is operated, a voltage is applied to the two motors 50 and 51, and the exhaust fan and the supply fan start operation simultaneously. Here, when the second control switch 53 is operated, a voltage is applied to the relay coil 57 of the relay 54 and the relay contact 56 is switched to switch the notch of the motor 50 of the exhaust fan. Further, when the first control switch 52 is opened, both the exhaust fan and the supply fan stop. In the motor operation control circuit of FIG. 7, the control unit 55 and the motors 50 and 51 are connected by caulking with an insulating coating open / close terminal 58, and in the case shown in FIG.
[0004]
Further, what is shown in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-192234 shown in FIG. 9 is provided with notches for speed adjustment in the motors 50 and 51 of the exhaust fan and the air supply fan, and operates the damper plate. A motor 62 is provided. In the control, the first control switch 52 is simultaneously started and stopped, the second control switch 53 is simultaneously switched to weak / strong, and the third control switch 61 is used to start and stop the motor 62. By providing a changeover switch 60 on this, the notches of the motors 50 and 51 can be individually changed. When the second control switch 53 is switched to strong, the strong switch can be switched to strong by the switch 60.
[0005]
The motor operation control circuit described above is also applied to a ventilator incorporating an air purification unit. For example, it is possible to control the operation of a motor belonging to ventilation using a variable speed control method and the motor for circulation belonging to air purification using an on / off control method.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Controlling multiple motors individually is not so difficult by electronic control technology using a microcomputer, and each motor has a start / stop control switch and a speed switch control switch. However, the former has a problem that causes a significant increase in cost, and the latter has a problem that the number of control switches increases. The switch box of JIS C8336, which is often used normally, can incorporate only three standard tumbler switches in a row. For example, two start / stop control switches and individual speed switching control switches are provided for two motors. In some cases, four tumbler switches are required and two rows are required, which is disadvantageous in terms of design and space saving of the switch occupation area. Further, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-192234, the notch of the motor can be changed while the air supply fan and the exhaust air fan are independent from each other, but the control method by the control switch is used. The air blower and the exhaust air blower cannot be interchanged (see FIG. 10).
[0007]
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described conventional problems, and the problem is that a plurality of motors are grouped and the operation of the group is controlled by different control methods. It is to obtain a low-cost motor operation control circuit that can easily replace the control system, to prevent the switch circuit area of the operation circuit from being expanded, and to group a plurality of blowers. It is to obtain a low-cost blower that can perform operation control with different control methods and can easily change the control method for a group.

In this embodiment, the control system can be switched between the motor 10 belonging to ventilation and the motor 11 belonging to circulation. However, the supply fan 3 and the exhaust fan 4 are configured by separate motors. Regarding the exhaust ventilation device, it is also possible to change the control method between the motor belonging to the supply air and the motor belonging to the exhaust. In this case, a ventilation operation for increasing the supply air volume from the exhaust air volume and a ventilation operation for decreasing the supply air volume below the exhaust air volume can be easily performed at hand by simply replacing the connector 17. Furthermore, switching of control methods between grouped motor groups or blower groups can be performed in the same manner. In this case, even when the motor group or the fan group grouped from different places are controlled and the place of control is to be exchanged, the control place can be easily exchanged without changing the wiring. Further, the present invention can also be applied to a simultaneous start / stop as in the conventional example shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 and a blower device that performs notch switching operation for only one blower.
