Description
The present invention relates to a method of operating a household temperature regulator and a flow rate regulating valve utilizing an automatic meter reading system, and more particularly, to a method of operating a household temperature regulator and a flow rate regulating valve using a remote meter reading system, ) And calorie counting, as well as the operation status of the flow control valve for the flow control of the flow rate is monitored in real time, so that the actual flow rate and the use of the heat amount can be known. As a result of failure of the generation temperature regulator and the flow control valve, It is possible to prevent the heating and cooling complaints caused by exhaustion or malfunction of equipment and to check the abnormality of each household thermostat or flow control valve in the central control room at the remote place in order to increase the inspection time and efficiency. How to confirm the operation of the thermostat and flow control valve A.
In this case, the number of heatings used should be checked for each household, and each household is provided with each valve provided in the hot water distributor. So that hot water for heating can be supplied only as needed.
However, when an abnormality occurs in the valve installed in the hot water distributor, or when an abnormality occurs in each piping and the stable hot water can not be supplied, various problems may arise. To prevent this, various techniques such as the technique described in Korean Patent No. 10-0185497 As a method for preventing overheating due to valve clogging of a hot water distributor, a specific configuration of the hot water distributor is a method of preventing overheating by supplying a heating water to the main control unit, and the temperature of the heating water and the temperature of the heating water are measured using a temperature sensor, When the temperature difference of the heating water return temperature is below the predetermined temperature, it operates normally. When the temperature difference is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature, the control means operates by the control signal of the main control unit and opens the bypass means for directly connecting the supply portion of the hot water distributor and the water return portion, By bypassing, the temperature is lowered, Characterized in that such valve is locked or or uniformly supplied to the high-temperature hot water, even if blocked by the accumulation of foreign matter into the interior of the exchanger.
However, in the case of the above-mentioned patent, the abnormal state can be detected only when the valve or the piping is completely blocked, and the control for closing the valve is not performed, so that the hot water can not be detected when the hot water is introduced.
In addition, the above patent must be directly identified for each household, and the central control system does not collectively collect or manage the information or collectively control the whole, group, or individual.
The Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) system includes a watt-hour meter for measuring the amount of electricity used and a meter for measuring the usage of water, gas, hot water, and heating, and water meters such as a gas meter, a hot water meter and a calorimeter A remote meter reading device that communicates with the plurality of meters to receive the meter reading data from the meter, stores the data in its own memory, and transmits the meter reading data of each meter to the watt hour meter at predetermined time intervals; For connecting the meter reading data collected by the remote meter reading device to the remote meter reading device through the relay device and the relay device to request the meter reading data to the remote meter reading device and reading the meter reading data provided from the remote meter reading device Collected, and converted into a database. Using the meter reading data, the usage amount of each meter And a central control unit for checking the operation of the central control unit. With such a configuration, the amount of electricity, water, hot water, gas, heating, and the like is monitored remotely.
In addition, in the general remote meter reading system, only the information on the flow rate and the amount of the heat detected through the meter connected to each pipe is known, and information on the operation of the temperature controller or the flow rate control valve Collection and management.
That is, in the case of the existing remote meter reading system, only the information of the controller set in each generation was known, and in the central system, only the flow rate and the consumption of the heat detected through the cooling / heating flow meter or the integrated calorimeter connected to each pipe Could know. In addition, the generation temperature control device controls each generation temperature control device so as to prevent cooling or heating by turning ON / OFF the flow control valve. However, if the actual generation temperature control device or flow control valve malfunctions and the heating / Heating civil complaints, unintended energy consumption, and billing, which can lead to civil disputes.
In addition, in the case of conventional remote meter reading system, it is a system for charge billing by remote meter reading, and in the case of temperature controller and distributor system, Since the operation status of each household temperature regulator and flow regulating valve can not be known remotely, the inspectors must visit each household individually to check for the abnormality of the domestic facilities, have.
Also, when judging the abnormality of the flow regulator / distributor valve of each household before each household moves in after building in an apartment or the like, conventionally, each valve must be directly visited and checked, so it takes considerable manpower and time, There was a problem without method.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic meter reading system, which is installed in each household for an automatic meter reading system and is connected to a heating pipe through which hot water for heating or steam is moved, (Or motor controller) that controls the flow control valve that opens and closes the heating piping while measuring the consumption of heat and heat, and collects the status of the flow control valve and the generation temperature controller installed in the cooling / heating piping in real time and sets them at home The present invention is directed to a system and method for confirming the operation of a temperature controller and a flow control valve using an automatic meter reading system that can determine whether an abnormality exists by comparing the difference between a state and an actual consumed energy.
In addition, according to the present invention, not only the state of the household temperature regulator and the flow rate regulating valve can be detected by connecting the valve controller for each household to the remote management server of the central control room, but also each household temperature regulator and the flow rate regulating valve can be controlled in the central control room In case of stopping and restarting the heating and ventilation for a long time before moving into a multi-family house such as an apartment, a household thermostat using a remote meter reading system that can be useful when checking the entire heating / cooling pipe, household temperature regulator and flow control valve And an object of the present invention is to provide a system and method for confirming the operation of a flow control valve.
