The model of the parallel a/D converter 401 is an 8-bit parallel a/D converter ADC 0841. The 555 time base device 411, the resistor 412, the resistor 413 and the capacitor 414 form an oscillator, periodic pulses output by the oscillator are connected to a start conversion input end WR of the parallel A/D converter 401, and each pulse starts an A/D conversion, so that the parallel A/D converter 401 works in an automatic continuous conversion mode.

Considering the input-output relationship of AD0841, the proportional value calculating unit 400 follows the equation
The proportional value control voltage UK is calculated according to the ratio between the first flow voltage U1 and the total flow voltage U2, and the sensitivity control voltage U3. U3 is the maximum value of the proportional-value-control-voltage UK, the magnitude of which adjusts the sensitivity of the proportional-value-control-voltage UK. When the temperature T of the inlet cold water is reduced, the sensitivity control voltage U3 is increased, the sensitivity of the proportional value control voltage UK is adjusted to be increased, and the maximum value of the proportional value control voltage UK is increased; when the inlet cold water temperature T rises, the sensitivity control voltage U3 decreases, the sensitivity of the adjustment proportional value control voltage UK decreases, and the maximum value of the proportional value control voltage UK decreases. When the inlet cold water temperature T changes from the highest value TH to the lowest value TL, the sensitivity control voltage U3 changes from the minimum value U3min to the maximum value U3 max. The cold water temperature only plays a compensation role in the adjusting process, so the minimum value U3min of the sensitivity control voltage U3 is selected to be 0.4-1 time of the maximum value U3 max. When U3min equals U3max, the device has no sensitivity cold water temperature compensation function.
The minimum value U3min and the maximum value U3max of the sensitivity control voltage U3 are realized by adjusting the parameters of the elements in the cold water temperature measuring unit 300.

For example, the cold water temperature sensor 907 may be a PTC thermistor, and in this case, the positions of the cold water temperature sensor 907 and the resistor 302 in the embodiment shown in fig. 5 may be interchanged. In order to adjust the minimum value U3min and the maximum value U3max of the sensitivity control voltage U3 more flexibly and conveniently, a resistor may be connected in parallel to the cold water temperature sensor 907 in the embodiment shown in fig. 5. In addition, when the NTC thermistor or the PTC thermistor is used as the cold water temperature sensor 907, a resistance bridge may be used to measure a resistance value change of the cold water temperature sensor 907 due to a temperature change.
The embodiment shown in fig. 6 is suitable for the situation that the requirement on the calculation speed of the comparative value is not high and the change of the input voltage is relatively gentle. Because the utility model discloses well U1, U2 reflect the water heater flow, change gently, so be suitable for. The proportional value calculating unit 400 may also adopt other analog dividers and analog multiplier circuits, for example, an analog divider and an analog multiplier circuit which are composed of integrated analog multipliers/dividers such as AD734 and AD534, to calculate UK according to U1, U2 and U3.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 7, the voltage dividing circuit formed by the resistor 502 and the resistor 503 is a flow threshold QY setting circuit, and is provided with a flow threshold voltage output end for outputting a set flow threshold voltage UY; the set flow rate threshold QY can be changed by changing the voltage division ratio between the resistor 502 and the resistor 503. The relationship between the flow threshold voltage UY and the flow threshold value QY is

The proportional valve driving unit 600 is composed of a gas proportional regulating valve and a proportional valve driving circuit, an input end of the proportional valve driving circuit is connected to a proportional value control voltage output end, and an opening degree of the gas proportional regulating valve is driven by the proportional valve driving circuit.
An embodiment of the proportional valve driving circuit is shown in fig. 8 and comprises a power operational amplifier 601, a resistor 602, a resistor 603 and a freewheeling diode 604. A freewheeling diode 604 is connected in parallel across the proportional coil 630. The working principle is as follows: the flow of the gas can be changed by changing the opening of the gas proportion adjusting valve, so that the combustion power of the gas water heater is changed, and the temperature of hot water is changed. The method specifically comprises the following steps: when the proportional value control voltage UK is increased, the output voltage UB of the proportional valve driving circuit is increased, the current on the proportional coil 630 is increased, the opening degree of the gas proportional regulating valve is increased, the combustion power of the gas water heater is increased, and the temperature of hot water is increased; when the proportional value control voltage UK is reduced, the output voltage UB of the proportional valve driving circuit is reduced, the current on the proportional coil 630 is reduced, the opening degree of the gas proportional regulating valve is reduced, the combustion power of the gas water heater is reduced, and the temperature of hot water is reduced.
The resistor 602 and the resistor 603 are used for adjusting the range of the output voltage UB of the proportional valve driving circuit, and when the proportional value control voltage UK is equal to the maximum control voltage UM, the maximum control current, i.e., the rated current, flows through the proportional coil 630, so that the opening degree of the gas proportional regulating valve reaches the maximum value.
Other types of drive circuits may be used for the proportional valve drive circuit, such as triode power drive circuits, voltage/PWM conversion and PWM drive circuits, and so forth. The proportional valve drive circuit functions as: when the proportional value control voltage UK increases, the current on the proportional coil 630 is controlled to increase; when the proportional value control voltage UK decreases, the current on the proportional coil 630 is controlled to decrease; when the proportional value control voltage UK is the maximum value UM, the current on the proportional coil 630 is controlled to be the rated current.

In order to ensure the safe use of the gas water heater, the gas water heater can also comprise a wind pressure switch 16 and a temperature control switch 17 shown in fig. 9. In the use process of the water heater, if the air pressure switch 16 detects that the exhaust fan is not started, or the temperature control switch 17 detects that the fire is too large and the temperature of the outlet water is too high, or the water control switch 11 detects that the water flow is too small, the electromagnetic valve 15 can be bounced to turn off the gas, and safety accidents are avoided.

When the device is used for the gas water heater, the controller 10 can use various popular ignition controllers of the gas water heater at present, such as a DKG2 controller, a DKG3 controller, a DHS-B7A controller, a DHS-B7B controller, a HD 7PQA1-CP controller and various other ignition controllers of the gas water heater.
When the device is used for the gas water heater, a control circuit in the device can be combined with the controller 10 to form a new temperature regulation controller. Fig. 10 shows a block diagram of a gas water heater control system with a temperature remote adjusting function, which is composed of a temperature adjusting controller 20, an ignition discharge needle 12, a flame sensing needle 13, an exhaust fan 14, an electromagnetic valve 15, a gas proportional adjusting valve 21, a first flow sensor 902, a second flow sensor 903, and a cold water temperature sensor 907, or optionally includes a wind pressure switch 16 and a temperature control switch 17.

Similarly, the solenoid valve 15 in fig. 10 preferably uses a safety shut-off valve in a gas proportional valve assembly, and the gas proportional control valve 21 uses a gas proportional control valve in the gas proportional valve assembly.
