Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electric heating system having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • thermostats room temperature controllers
  • a set temperature can be set which is compared with the actual temperature measured in a room to be heated.
  • control signals are transmitted wirelessly by the thermostats to the heating bodies or their control devices, for example by means of a radio remote control.
  • the heating elements can be connected directly to the power supply via radio-controlled plugs or adapters, and the radio control of the room thermostats acts on the switch plugs to control switching on or off. shutdown of the heating bodies.
  • the same source also describes the option of providing on the heating bodies themselves radio receiver control devices which provide direct control of the heating power as a function of the signals of the radio-transmitted thermostat.
  • a heating body controlled by radio waves is for example described in the document US 5,272,477 .
  • thermostats Prior to commissioning, a unambiguous functional relationship must be established between a thermostat and the receiver provided on the heater and / or the controller by matching them to each other. This avoids in an environment of several premises that the heating bodies are inadvertently controlled by "foreign" thermostats.
  • the object of the invention is, in a heating system having the generic characteristics, to provide a particularly simple and intelligible tuning to be used between a heating element or its individual control device with the receiver on the one hand, and a room thermostat on the other hand.
  • the learning operation (in "learn-enable" mode) with a view to establishing a unambiguous functional relationship between a thermostat arranged in a compact housing and an associated control device to a heating body, including the receiver, is, according to the invention, based on a mutual spatial or physical mutual. Therefore, in particular, it is essential to avoid an erroneous agreement between a heating body and a "bad" thermostat, when the system comprises several.
  • the thermostat can be provided with an autonomous power supply (batteries, accumulators). Therefore, it is not connected to a physical conductor but is mobile and can therefore be placed anywhere in the room.
  • the invention takes advantage of it.
  • the direction in which the identification signals are transmitted is therefore basically indifferent, and it can therefore go from the thermostat to the control device / heating body or vice versa.
  • the first possibility is preferred, however, because the thermostat necessarily includes an emitter for transmitting the heating or power control signals. This transmitter can advantageously also transmit the identification signals. Therefore, it is not excluded to use another transmitter or other means for the transmission of identification (system).
  • This method is also advantageous because, if necessary, several heating bodies located in one or more rooms can be controlled by a single thermostat. Indeed, if in this case, we wanted to place in the thermostat an individual identification of each heater, they should have several memory locations that should be able to be interrogated individually. This could result in complicated and difficult to understand command for laypersons.
  • each heating body if it is provided in each heating body a single memory location for the identification of a thermostat, it is very simple to establish an unambiguous working relationship between these two devices.
  • the thermostat comprises in any case control elements for setting parameters, for example the set temperature, the on or off times, etc., these elements can advantageously also be used to activate the mode. transmitted to transmit the identification signals. Normally, this last operation does not occur very frequently. Therefore, a special actuation, for example the simultaneous depressing of two keys or the like, can trigger the transmission of the identification.
  • This mode is preferably automatically limited to a predetermined time interval during which it is then necessary to bring the thermostat of the control device of the heating body.
  • the identification signals will in any case also be appropriately associated with the normal control signals (for example superimposing or emitting them before or after them), so that the receiver provided in the control device "knows” that it is requested by the thermostat concerned. Therefore, even when the learning operation is activated, it is possible to simply transmit a "normal" command and power signal whose identification part is separated by filtration and kept in permanent memory.
  • the control device In any case, it is advantageous, for simplicity of use, to indicate on the heating body or the control device the location of which the thermostat must be approached for the learning operation. This location will normally be located near the electrical connections (power) of the heating body that are provided anyway, when the receiver is placed directly on the heating body. If the control device with the receiver is arranged separately from the heating element, for example in its power supply line and / or on the connection or connection box to which the heating element is connected, the control device shall be provided with a corresponding identification.
  • a transmission in which no galvanic connection of current conduction is established between the thermostat and the heating body even if the thermostat is placed in a defined location of the heating body or the device order must also be considered as contactless.
  • heating bodies consisting of panes with electrically conductive and heatable layers are used. These heating bodies may be transparent and include in particular a limited connection zone visible from the outside. In a preferred embodiment of these heating bodies, this zone is also that from which the thermostat must be approached for the transmission of the identification signals. Special marking on an outer surface of the glass heater is then not necessary, even if the connection area is provided on the flat side not facing the user.
  • control device of each heating body is separated therefrom, preferably being disposed on the fixed connection location.
  • the thermostat must be approached from a location of the control device possibly provided with a registration in order to introduce the mutual agreement.
  • non-volatile means in particular that the identification stored in memory is not lost in the event of a power failure or disconnection of the heating body of the network. It is also the same for the storage of the identification in the thermostat, which must also be kept in permanent memory so that the contents of the memory is kept in case of disappearance of the working voltage or replacement batteries or accumulators.
  • each successful read operation is clearly reported to the operator. This can be done preferably by acoustic and / or optical means. A failure of the transmission of the identification may also possibly be signaled to invite the operator to repeat it. For this purpose, for example, green and red light-emitting diodes can be provided.
  • the drawing illustrates, in highly simplified representation, in the figure 1 , a connection diagram and functional which takes the components of the heating system and its control which are essential for a more precise description of the invention; in the figure 2 , a view of a configuration of the heating system with a spatially separated arrangement of a heating body and its control.
  • an electric heating body 1 of which only a portion is shown is connected to an external supply voltage U, preferably at the usual voltage of the country's network.
  • U an external supply voltage
  • a heating element only a heating resistor 2 is shown here.
  • the latter is controlled by a power switching element 3 which, for its part, can connect and disconnect several power stages and possibly, unlike the representation, several heating resistors.
  • the switching element 3 is itself managed by a regulating element 4 (in the simplest case, an on / off command).
  • the regulation element 4 receives setpoint signals from a receiver element 5.
  • Control signals (here represented by an arrow) for maintaining a predetermined temperature of the room are sent without contact to the latter by a thermostat 6 or a transmitter 7 which is incorporated therein.
  • the thermostat 6 has an independent power supply voltage (batteries or accumulators, for example) which is not shown here in detail. It also has a digital display 8 which presents information on the management of electric heating and which preferably works as multifunction display. Below the display 8 are provided several actuating elements, for the manual adjustment for example of the set temperature, date, time, etc. The associated switching elements are imposed by the state of the art and are therefore not shown or explained in more detail.
  • the thermostat 6 still contains a permanent magnet 9.
  • a switch 10 normally open and able to be actuated magnetically, which can be closed when approaching the permanent magnet 9, is provided according to the invention. invention in or on the heating body.
  • a signal from the receiver 5 is brought to a connection of this switch 10 whose other connection is connected to an input of a memory element 11 (non-ephemeral, ie an element storing the information permanently).
  • a marker 12 by which the operator recognizes the location near which it must approach the thermostat 6 to close the switch 10 is provided on the outside of the heater.
  • a display element 13 is still associated with the memory element 11.
  • the elements 3, 4, 5, 10 and 11 are the essential components of the electrical control of the heating body and are optically joined by a dashed frame to form a control unit or a control device S.
  • This control device is itself arranged according to the figure 1 in or on the heating body 1, but can also be mounted at a distance therefrom.
  • This last variant is illustrated schematically in the figure 2 .
  • the heater 1 is placed in a sketched room only and is connected via a cable connection to a power supply (connection or connection box).
  • Said cable connection 15 starts from a control device S mounted independently of the heating element 1 on a wall of the room.
  • This controller may be attached to the wall (junction box) or may be combined with a connector for a junction box.
  • control device could also, while retaining the same functionality, be arranged in the form of a movable member, movable, in the middle of the cable connection, if sufficient reception security for the Switching and control signals are guaranteed.
  • it is provided on its outer face facing the local of a location 12 which has the same function as the location 12 on the heating body according to the figure 1 .
  • the thermostat 6 is located anywhere in the room or even outside, whose functional relationship / radio link to the control device S is indicated by a double arrow.
  • the thermostat 6 or, as the case may be, its emitter 7 are connected in the emission mode of its characteristic. As already indicated, this can be activated by a special actuation, explained in the instructions for use, of one or more control elements of the thermostat 6.
  • the thermostat 6 is then brought closer to the magnet 9 of the mark 12 of the heating body 1 or the control device S and thus the switch 10. The latter closes; this activates a "learn-enable" mode of the memory element 11.
  • the receiver 5 provided on the heating body or in the control device S receives the signals emitted by the transmitter 7 during the learning operation and they contain at least the characteristic identification of the thermostat 6.
  • the receiver 5 comprises a signal separation (filter, ...) which is capable of distinguishing the identification signals from the normal control signals.
  • the identification is then brought to the memory element 11 by a separate output and the switch 10 closed. This memory element then modifies its contents and applies the latter to its output.
  • the display device 13 is activated when the same signal is applied to the input and the output of the memory element 11.
  • the thermostat can then again be moved away from the heating element 1 and the transmission can be interrupted. .
  • the switch 10 closes and thus separates the input of the memory element 11 from the signal flow.
  • the receiving element 5 passes the received signals (and thus the identification signals plus the control signals) to a comparison stage 14 which is connected upstream of the input of the control element 4.
  • the output signal of the control element memory 11 which corresponds to the identification of the thermostat is also applied.
  • the comparison stage 14 must therefore check whether the control signals which are brought to it have a corresponding identification part, in other words, if they come from the "correct" thermostat. Signals that come without contact from a thermostat not registered in the memory element 11 are ignored by the control of the heating element 1.
  • the "learn-enable" mode of the memory element 11 can also be activated by other means, for example by inductive or capacitive coupling. These means can even allow a direct transfer of the identification in the memory element 11 as soon as the thermostat placed in emission mode is approached to the appropriate location of the heating body.
  • modifying or updating the contents of the memory could also be used for a direct feedback of the memory element 11 to the thermostat 6.
  • it could be used, for example a transponder adapted to be activated by the memory element 11. The latter can return the reading or, as the case may be, the modification of the content of the memory with a response signal to a corresponding receiving element provided in the thermostat which for its part interrupts the transmission mode of the identification.
