DE2946948A1 - Heating regulator allowing variable temp. profile - has cursors corresponding to respective times set to required temps. - Google Patents

Abstract

The regulator has a number of sliding cursors (2) extending parallel to one another, each corresoonding to a respective point within a 24 hour cycle and set at a selected height relative to a vertical temo. scale (3), to indicate the reouired temp. at this point. The heights of the cursors (2) are successively detected, to provide reference temos for comparison with the actual temp., the differences between them used for controlling a radiator valve (8), to maintain the reouired temp. profile throughout the day. The regulator may have an additional cursor (2a) cooperating with a heating timer switch (11).

Description

Heating controller

The invention relates to a heating controller for individual control the room temperature per room, with a number of sliding tabs (e.g. 1 Tab per hour) to set the desired room temperature that corresponds to the specified 7- t can be queried according to the setpoint set and from a setpoint / actual value Comparison then acts the controller accordingly with an electr.

Size of opening or closing of the valve on the radiator.

With such controllers, each room can be heated individually and by adjusting the temperature, the daily cycle in the room above all a lot Energy to be started.

It is known that the temperature in an apartment rrit several Rooms are usually regulated by a thermostat 1 living room. It is the controller is set so that the apartment is heated from morning to evening, while the temperature is automatically lowered at night. To the heating control To make it even more precise, external sensors are also used, which act in such a way that that when the outside temperature drops you automatically use energy to heat the apartment is increased. With different variants, e.g. also with the 3-point control one tries to heat the apartments more optimally. With the 3-point rule, z.P. The temperature of the heating water is reduced over the midday period, while it is fed to radiators that are hotter in the morning and evening.

All these leveling systems for heating rooms are therefore so disadvantageous because the central control from one room, e.g. vi; i living room, As a result, some rooms are heated and some remain too cold. There in he level is heated in such a way that all rooms are warmly heated to be habitable, is one Overheating of some rooms cannot be avoided.

This means that more energy is used than is absolutely necessary.

A certain amount of energy is saved through the use of so-called thermostat valves achieved. The Termonstat valves on the individual radiators are intended to regulate the temperature hold in the room at a certain preselected value, so that overheating of Rooms is used.

However, the disadvantage of these thermostat valves is also due to the Hand. On the one hand, only a constant temperature can be achieved without readjustment, and this, too, is a waste of energy, if for example children's room every morning be highly heated, even when the children are at school. Transverse; in the evening in the Living rooms, when there are visitors, are heated longer, so the children's rooms are also heated kept at higher temperatures unless the valves are turned off by hand. Since this is not done in the level, more energy is used for heating as required.

The invention is based on the object of adjusting the room temperature individually to regulate in each room so that the temperatures even the RE frequenting the Rooms can be adjusted automatically.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that in every room r there is a controller with a number of sliding tabs (e.g. 1 tab per hour) to set the desired room temperature. The riding positions are queried at the specified time for the set target value and from a Target-actual comparison in the controller, the controller then acts with an electr. size on the supply of energy to the heating element, e.g. opening or closing the valve on the radiator.

Furthermore, according to the invention, a large number of tabs are preferred arranged vertically parallel next to each other. It is advantageous to have one rider per hour assigned while summing up the hours from midnight to morning a rider to be placed. The room temperature can be adjusted with the tabs move up or down can be preselected. Another rider will used to preselect a certain permanent temperature. According to the on the case According to the invention, the tabs are at the correct time on the printed scale queried and a target / actual value comparison made. To turn the heating controller on To set the correct time, the appropriate tab can erdindungsgemrj be brought to the very top position and with a push of the start button the current time entered.

According to the invention, the heating controller works for 1 room is provided on the radiator or radiators in this particular room. In the heating controller a temperature sensor is installed that determines the actual value and the setpoint the set tab is compared where the time is preferred is indicated by LED6.

The advantages achieved with the invention consist in particular in that each room can be heated individually. Every room can be heated so as it corresponds to the daily routine taking place in it. E.g. a bath in the As a rule, only ask for a higher temperature in the morning and in the evening. The temperature in the nursery can be done regularly in the morning - during school time and earlier in the evening than in the living room be lowered. The multitude of tabs allows the temperature to be changed every hour in the relevant rooms.

With these few examples it is immediately evident that an optimal one Heating of the individual rooms is achieved and thus above all the energy consumption is optimized on the part of the heating, i.e. compared to the existing heating systems Save energy.

Another advantage is the easy operation of the heating controller. the The position of the rider also shows the daily routine in the room, since the riders are parallel are arranged vertically.

A power reserve ensures that the time is correct in the event of a power failure remains stored or the clock continues to run.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is described in the following.

In the housing (1) are side by side vertically movable tabs (2) arranged. The scale (9) 10-15-20-25 are temperature values in OC and are marked by lines (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) horizontally in the area of all tabs (2).

Scale (4) are the hours of a whole day, which the respective Riders (2) are assigned. There are optical display elements below the scale (4) (5) which show what time is set.

The cable (6) is the mains connection. With the cable (7) the commands to the valve (8) on the radiator (9) e.g. to open or close.

A temperature sensor is built into the housing (1) of the heating controller, and a termometer (10).

If the switch (11) is in the "autom" position, then one after the other the tab (r) queried. The switch in the "Duration" position means that the room is is kept continuously at a constant temperature of the rider (2a).

The operation of the heating controller is very easy.

First, all tabs (2) (not 2a) are set to the desired temperature set. e.g. 8 oo = 20 ° C 9 oo = 1 W C etc. The switch to the position "autom" set. The time is set on the hour by pressing the appropriate Rider e.g.

1000 is pushed all the way up and pressed on the button (12). This tab is then set to the desired temperature.

The tabs are set to the setpoint setting for the temperature every hour queried and compared with the actual value of the temperature sensor.

The valve on the radiator is opened or closed accordingly.

During the holiday season, the tab (2a) is set to the desired temperature set and the switch (11) set to "permanent".

This optimal heating method saves a lot of energy.
