Air conditioning system and method of using solar cell
View Patent ↗An air conditioning system using a solar cell, which uses the electricity effectively by heating the heat devices for designated time and a method for driving the system. The air conditioning system includes a solar cell generating electricity from solar light, a power distribution control part controlling operating voltage of the electricity of the solar cell and distributing to a battery or to the heating element, a control terminal generating a user command signal and an interface part controlling the power distribution control part in response to a command signal from the control terminal.
1. An air conditioning system comprising:
a solar cell generating electricity from solar light;
a power distribution control part directly connected to the solar cell, an interface part, a battery, and a heating element, the power distribution control part controlling operating voltage of the electricity of the solar cell and distributing electrical power to the interface part, the battery, and the heating element;
a wireless transferring module generating a user command signal;
the interface part controlling the power distribution control part in response to a command signal received from the wireless transferring module,
wherein the interface part comprises:
a monitoring part monitoring status of the air conditioning system;
a first control module controlling the monitoring part;
a second control module controlling electrical power supply to the heating element by controlling the power distribution control part;
a time control module receiving a command signal from the wireless transferring module and controlling the second control module to operate the heating element during time of a key-corresponding signal included in the command signal; and
a decision module configured to:
determine whether the command signal from the wireless transferring module includes the key-corresponding signal,
transfer the command signal to the first control module and the time control module if the wireless transferring module includes the key-corresponding signal, and
transfer the command signal to the first control module and the second control module if the wireless transferring module does not include the key-corresponding signal,
wherein the heating element comprises a seat heater, an engine inner heater and a heat storage part.
2. A method for driving an air conditioning system using a solar cell, the method comprising:
a) transferring, by a wireless transferring module, a user command signal to an interface part;
b) determining, by a decision module of the interface part, whether the command signal from the wireless transferring module includes a key-corresponding signal;
c) transferring, by the decision module if the command signal from the wireless transferring module includes the key-corresponding signal, the command signal to a time control module of the interface part;
d) transferring, by the decision module, the command signal to a second control module of the interface part, if the command signal from the wireless transferring module does not include the key-corresponding signal;
e) operating, by the time control module, the second control module during a time of the key-corresponding signal; and
f) controlling, by the second control module, an electrical power supply to a heating element by controlling a power distribution control part, wherein the power distribution control part is directly connected to the solar cell, the heating element, the interface part, and a battery and is configured to control operating voltage of the solar cell, to distribute electrical power to the interface part, the battery, and the heating element,
wherein the heating element comprises a seat heater, an engine inner heater, and a heat storage part.
