TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a wireless floor heating control device.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, this type of floor heating control device generally uses wired communication. As shown in FIG. 6, for example, the conventional floor heating control system includes, for example, hot water supply pipes 22a, 22b from a heat source unit 1 to four radiating panels 20a, 20b, 20c, 20d via hot water valves 21a, 21b, 21c, 21d. , 22c and 22d are connected, and the hot water return pipe 23 is integrated and connected to the heat source device 1. On the other hand, the floor heating remote controllers 24a, 24b, 24c, and 24d are provided with the floor heating remote controller 24a in the room with the heat radiation panel 20a, the floor heating remote controller 24b in the room with the heat radiation panel 20b, and the floor heating remote controller in the room with the heat radiation panel 20c. A floor heating remote control 24d is attached to a room having a heat radiation panel 20d, and the heat source unit 1 opens the hot water valve 21a to heat the heat radiation panel 20a, for example, in response to a request from the floor heating remote control 24a. That is, for example, in the case of a heat source device that can connect four systems of floor heating in the heat source device 1, there is always one hot water valve connection terminal that operates in conjunction with one floor heating remote control connection terminal. , There were four combinations of these. The number of the four sets may be any number according to the capability of the heat source device.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in a conventional floor heating control system, there is a floor heating panel that definitely corresponds to a connection terminal of a hot water valve that controls the supply of hot water to a radiator panel and a floor heating remote control that is connected to a corresponding floor heating remote control connection terminal. There was a problem that it had to be attached to the room. That is, the floor heating remote control 24a must be attached to the room where the heat radiating panel 20a is provided, and the hot water valve 21a must be connected to the hot water outflow pipe 22a connected to the heat radiating panel 20a. It is very difficult to match the wiring to the buried hot water piping and hot water valve, and the wiring to the floor heating remote control for each system as the number of floor heating systems increases, but if you do this, When used as it is, even if the operation switch of the floor heating remote control is turned on, there is a problem that the floor of the room does not warm and the floor of the next room warms, resulting in a serious construction error.
[0004]
When a wireless floor heating remote control is used, the remote control stores the ID code of the heat source and the heat source stores the ID code of the remote control so that the heat source and the remote control can be communicated one-to-one at the time of construction. Registration work is performed, but at this time, in addition to this work, it is necessary to set which wireless floor heating remote control corresponds to which radiator panel, and if this setting method is complicated, mistakes in setting, Forget the settings themselves. Then, even if the operation switch of the floor heating remote control is turned on like the wired communication remote control, the floor of that room does not warm up, the floor of the next room warms up or the floor does not warm up at all, which is also a big problem Met.
[0005]
In addition, when there are a plurality of wireless floor heating remote controls, it is conceivable that the same heat radiation panel is set by a plurality of wireless floor heating remote controls in an overlapping manner. Then, one radiator panel is heated by the operation of the plurality of wireless floor heating remote controllers, and the heating operation may be performed without the user's intention.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention comprises a heat source unit, a plurality of floor heating radiating panels installed on the floor, and a wireless floor heating remote controller. When the combination is set, a warning is displayed on the remote controller to urge the installer to change the combination.

Then, the installer is urged to duplicate the setting of the heat radiating panel number, and is prompted to change the setting.
[0008]
In addition, the floor warming system setting means receives the operation instruction from the wireless floor heating remote controller as the combination information set later is valid, when the same heat radiation panel number is set by a plurality of wireless floor heating remote controllers repeatedly, The previously set combination is invalid and ignores the operation instruction from the wireless floor heating remote controller. Then, the same heat radiation panel is prevented from being warmed by operation instructions from a plurality of wireless floor heating remote controllers.
[0009]

Is not set by a plurality of wireless floor heating remote controllers, the previously set combination information is restored, and the operation instruction from the wireless floor heating remote controller is made valid. Then, even if the same heat radiation panel is set by mistake with a plurality of wireless floor heating remote controllers, if the combination set later is corrected, all the previously set combinations can be operated normally. is there.
[0010]
If the maximum number of registered IDs does not exceed the wireless floor heating remote controller when the wireless floor heating remote controller ID is registered, the floor heating system setting unit may determine the radiating panel numbers of the wireless floor heating remote controller for which ID registration has already been performed and the wireless floor heating remote controller for newly registering ID. Has a function of not deleting the ID of the wireless floor heating remote controller whose ID is already registered even if the IDs overlap. Even if the same heat radiation panel is set by a plurality of wireless floor heating remote controllers by mistake, there is no need to redo the ID registration of the previously registered remote controller.
[0011]
If the maximum number of registered IDs exceeds the maximum number of registered IDs for the wireless floor heating remote controller, the floor heating system setting unit deletes the remote controller ID having the same floor heating panel number as that of the wireless floor heating remote controller for newly registering the ID. It has a function of storing a remote control ID. Then, at the time of replacement due to a failure of the wireless floor heating remote controller, the same heat radiation panel is not set by a plurality of wireless floor heating remote controllers.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0013]
(Examples 1 and 2)
FIG. 1 illustrates a wireless floor heating control device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. First, a control method of a floor warming / radiating panel will be described with reference to FIG. 1 is a heat source unit, 2a and 2b are floor heat radiation panels laid in a living room or a dining room, and 3a and 3b are wireless floor heating remote controllers. In the wireless floor heating remote controller, when the operation switches 10a and 10b are operated, an operation request is instructed to the remote controller wireless communication units 13a and 13b via the remote controller controllers 12a and 12b. When receiving the operation request signal from the remote control wireless communication means 13a, 13b of the wireless floor heating remote controller, the wireless communication means 6 in the heat source unit 1 sends the operation request signal to the heat source control means 4. Upon receiving the operation request signal, the heat source control means 4 determines which radiator panel the remote controller which issued the request signal is combined with, and opens the opening / closing portion 5a or 5b of the corresponding floor warming / radiating panel to supply hot water. To heat the radiator panel and perform heating operation. The combination information of the remote controller and the heat radiating panel is stored in the nonvolatile memory 7.
[0014]
The heat source unit 1, the wireless floor heating remote controller 3a, and the wireless floor heating remote controller 3b are shipped completely separately from the factory, and each of the heat source unit and the remote controller has a unique ID code from the time of shipment. The ID code is shipped in a state where it is stored in the nonvolatile memory 7 of the heat source device and the nonvolatile memories 14a and 14b of the remote controllers.
[0015]
In order to prevent interference with the adjacent heat source equipment at the construction site, the heat source equipment needs to store the ID code of the corresponding remote control, and conversely, the remote control needs to store the ID code of the corresponding heat source. In order to recognize the ID codes mutually, the remote control registration switches 15a and 15b and the heat source registration switch 8 are operated, respectively, and registration is performed while confirming the ID codes of the heat source devices on the remote control displays 11a and 11b. At the time of this ID registration, the number (2a or 2b) of the floor warming / radiating panel combined with the wireless floor heating remote controllers 3a and 3b is also registered.
[0016]
It is also possible to operate the remote control setting switches 16a and 16b, respectively, and confirm the panel number on the remote control indicators 11a and 11b, and change only the panel number to be combined with the wireless floor heating remote controller after ID registration is completed. .
[0017]
Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Now, the ID code of the wireless floor heating remote controller 3a is 0001, the combined panel number is 2a, and the combination is valid (s1).
[0018]
Here, the setting switch 16b of the wireless floor heating remote controller 3b of the ID code 0010 is operated to set the radiation panel number to be combined with the wireless floor heating remote controller 3b to 2a (s2), and transmit the number to the heat source device. An ID code (0001) and a panel number (2a) are added to the transmission information (s3).
[0019]
In the heat source device 1 receiving this, the floor warming system setting means 9 sets the radiating panel number of the wireless floor heating remote controller 3a with the ID code 0001 and the wireless floor heating remote controller 3b with the ID code 0010 to 2a. The information of the wireless floor heating remote controller 3a (ID code 0001), which is the combination information, is invalidated, and the information of the wireless floor heating remote controller 3b (ID code 0010) received later is validated (s4).
[0020]
Thereafter, even if an operation request signal is received from the wireless floor heating remote controller 3a, the operation request signal is invalidated, the request signal is not transmitted to the heat source control means 4, and the heat source device 1 does not operate according to the instruction from the wireless floor heating remote controller 3a.
[0021]
Further, the floor warming system setting means 9 transmits an error display instruction signal to the wireless floor heating remote controller 3b in order to have the installer recognize that the panel numbers are duplicated (s5). The wireless floor heating remote controller 3b receives the error display instruction signal and performs a warning display (Err) on the display 11b (s6).
[0022]
In the present embodiment, the warning display is displayed on the remote controller 3b which has been combined later. However, when the operation instruction is performed with the wireless floor heating remote controller 3a, an error display instruction is issued from the floor heating system setting means 9 on the contrary. It is also possible to transmit and display a warning.
[0023]
Further, the setting switch is not provided with a dedicated switch, and can be realized by simultaneously pressing or long-pressing switches required for normal operation such as an operation switch and a temperature adjustment switch.
[0024]
As described above, the radiant panel number is set to be duplicated by the installer, and the setting is urged to be changed, and at the same time, the same radiant panel is not heated by operation instructions from multiple wireless floor heating remote controllers. It is.
[0025]
(Example 3)
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3 showing a data flow. Since the radiator panel numbers of the wireless floor heating remote controller 3a with the ID code 0001 and the wireless floor heating remote controller 3b with the ID code 0010 are both 2a, the wireless floor heating remote controller 3a (ID code) 0001) is invalidated, and the information of the wireless floor heating remote controller 3b (ID code 0010) received later is validated (s7).
[0026]
From this state, the setting switch 16b is operated with the wireless floor heating remote controller 3b to change the radiating panel number to 2b (s8) and transmit it to the heat source device (s9). Then, the floor heating system setting means 9 restores the previously set combination of the wireless floor heating remote controller 3a and the radiating panel number 2a, and validates the subsequent operation instructions from the wireless floor heating remote controller 3a (s10).
[0027]
As described above, even if the same heat radiation panel is set by a plurality of wireless floor heating remote controllers by mistake, if the combination set later is corrected, all the combinations set earlier can be normally operated. Things.
[0028]
(Example 4)
Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 4 showing a data flow. Now, the wireless floor heating remote controller 3a having the ID code 0001 is combined with the heat radiating panel 2a. The wireless floor heating remote controller 3b having the ID code 0010 is combined with the heat radiating panel 2b, and both are in a normally operable state (s11).
[0029]
From this state, a new wireless floor heating remote controller 3c (ID code 0100) is registered as an ID, at the same time the panel number is set to 2a (s12), and the information is transmitted to the heat source unit 1 (s13). Up to three remote controller ID codes can be registered in the nonvolatile memory 7 of the heat source unit, and the registration of the third remote controller is within the registration allowable range.
[0030]
Then, the floor warming system setting means 9 invalidates the information of the wireless floor heating remote controller 3a (ID code 0001), which was the preceding combination information, and validates the information of the wireless floor heating remote controller 3c (ID code 0100) received later. However, the duplicate ID code 0001 of the wireless floor heating remote controller is not erased (so-called registration deletion) but is stored in the memory (S14).
[0031]
As described above, even when the same heat radiation panel number as that of another remote controller is set by mistake at the time of ID registration, and the setting of the panel number is changed as shown in the third embodiment after realizing that there is a setting error later. Therefore, it is possible to easily operate all the remote controllers normally without the need to redo the ID registration of the remote controller previously registered.
[0032]
(Example 5)
Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5 showing a data flow. Now, the wireless floor heating remote controller 3a having the ID code 0001 is combined with the heat radiating panel 2a. The wireless floor heating remote controller 3b having the ID code 0010 is combined with the heat radiating panel 2b. In addition, the wireless floor heating remote controller 3c having the ID code 0100 is combined with the heat radiating panel 2c, and both are in a normally operable state (s15).
[0033]
Further, up to three remote control ID codes can be registered in the nonvolatile memory 7 of the heat source unit, and the number of remote control ID codes has already reached the maximum number. From this state, a new wireless floor heating remote controller 3d (ID code 1000) is registered as an ID, and at the same time, the panel number is set to 2a (s16), and the information is transmitted to the heat source unit 1 (s17).
[0034]
Then, the floor warming system setting means 9 searches for the same panel number as the received panel number 2a from the previously stored combination information, and finds the ID code of the wireless floor heating remote controller 3a (ID code 0001) having the same panel number. All the panel numbers are deleted, and the combination of the newly received wireless floor heating remote controller 3d (ID code 1000) and the panel number 2a is validated.
[0035]
In this way, when replacing the wireless floor heating remote controller due to a failure, the same heat radiation panel is not set by a plurality of wireless floor heating remote controllers.
[0036]
【The invention's effect】
As is clear from the above description, the wireless floor heating control device of the present invention warns the installer of the duplicate setting of the heat radiating panel number, prompts the user to change the setting, and sets the wireless floor heating remote controller and the heat radiating panel at the time of construction. Combination errors can be prevented.
