Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of floor heating, in particular to an automatic flow regulator based on hot water distribution.
Background
With the improvement of living standard of people, many apartments and residential rooms adopt ground heating, the ground heating can be divided into electric heating type ground heating and water ground heating according to functions, a steel cage is paved below a floor, a water pipe (usually a copper pipe) is paved below the steel cage, and water is heated to 50-60 ℃ through a heater (the water ground heating is usually heated by a boiler) and then is fed into the water pipe below the floor, so that the whole indoor room is uniformly heated. In the whole hot water distribution system, in order to adjust the flow of hot water, a manual valve or an automatic regulating valve is required to be arranged on a water return pipe so as to adjust the flow of hot water, for example, if the temperature of the water on the water return pipe is higher than a set value, the waste of heat energy is larger, at the moment, the opening degree of the manual valve or the electric control valve is required to be reduced so as to slow down the backflow of the hot water in the water return pipe, the heat exchange time between the hot water and a room is prolonged, the heat energy utilization rate in the hot water is increased, and similarly, when the temperature of the water in the water return pipe is lower than the set value, the shortage of hot water heating is indicated, at the moment, the opening degree of the manual valve or the electric control valve is required to be increased, the flow rate of the hot water is increased, and the indoor heat supply amount is ensured. However, in the actual use process, the manual valve is very inconvenient to operate, so that the current mainstream is to set an electric control valve on the water return pipe, then detect the indoor temperature through a temperature sensor, and control the opening degree of the electric control valve according to the temperature detected by the temperature sensor, so that the indoor relatively stable temperature is maintained. However, the whole system is complex by controlling the hot water return quantity through the temperature sensor, the electric control valve, the controller and the like, and a plurality of temperature sensors are required to be arranged for different rooms, so that the whole system is complex and has more faults.
