Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、特に無線通信床暖房リモコンに関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来この種の床暖房リモコンは、有線通信とするのが一般的であった。従来の床暖房制御システムは図１４に示すように、たとえば、熱源機１から四つの床暖房パネル２ａ、２ｂ、２ｃ、２ｄに温水弁３ａ、３ｂ、３ｃ、３ｄを介して温水往パイプ４ａ、４ｂ、４ｃ、４ｄが接続されており、温水戻パイプ５は統合されて熱源機１へ接続されている。一方、床暖房リモコン６ａ、６ｂ、６ｃ、６ｄは、床暖房パネル２ａのある部屋に床暖房リモコン６ａが、床暖房パネル２ｂのある部屋に床暖房リモコン６ｂが、床暖房パネル２ｃのある部屋に床暖房リモコン６ｃが、床暖房パネル２ｄのある部屋に床暖房リモコン６ｄがそれぞれとりつけられ、熱源機１はたとえば床暖房リモコン６ａの要求に応じて温水弁３ａを開き床暖房パネル２ａを加熱する。すなわち、熱源機１内には、たとえば、４系統の床暖房を接続できる熱源機である場合、一つの床暖房リモコン接続端子に対し、それに連動して動作する温水弁接続端子が必ず一つあり、これらの組み合わせが４組あるということになっていた。この４組という組数は、熱源機の能力に応じて何組であっても構わない。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、従来の床暖房制御システムでは、床暖房パネルへの温水の供給をコントロールする温水弁の接続端子と、それに対応する床暖房リモコン接続端子につながる床暖房リモコンを間違いなく対応する床暖房パネルのある部屋につけなければならないという課題を有していた。すなわち、床暖房パネル２ａのある部屋に必ず床暖房リモコン６ａをつけ、かつ、この床暖房パネル２ａにつながる温水往パイプ４ａには温水弁３ａがつながっていなければならないということであり、床下や壁内に埋設される温水配管や温水弁への配線、床暖房リモコンへの配線を、床暖房の系統数が多くなればなるほど系統ごとに間違いなく一致させるのはとても困難でありながら、これを仮に間違ったままで使用すると、床暖房リモコンの運転スイッチを入れても、その部屋の床が暖まらずに、隣の部屋の床が暖まるという施工上の課題を有していた。
【０００４】
また、無線通信の床暖房リモコンを使用したとしても、施工時にどの床暖房リモコンがどの床暖房パネルに対応するのかを設定してやる必要が有り、もし、この設定の方法が煩雑であると、設定を間違えたり、設定そのものを忘れてしまったりする。すると、同様に床暖房リモコンの運転スイッチを入れても、その部屋の床が暖まらずに、隣の部屋の床が暖まることになり、これも施工上の課題であった。
【０００５】
さらにこういった課題を解決するために、熱源機内にある試運転スイッチを押せば、複数個の温水弁の内一つを開とし、暖房用放熱パネル面に置かれたリモコンの室温感熱部が一定時間内に温度上昇を検知すれば、現在開としている温水弁の系統番号を熱源機よりの通信で知り、このリモコンの持つ記憶部に記憶させるとともに、逆にリモコンの持つ固有番号を通信にて熱源機へ送信し、熱源機はこの受信した固有番号をその内部に持つ記憶部に記憶させるようにした場合、リモコンの室温感熱部は、リモコンを壁面に取りつけた時に床面の温度上昇を室内空気の自然対流により検出しやすくするため、リモコンの表面より突出した構成となっているため、試運転時にリモコンを暖房用放熱パネル面に置いても、床面の温度上昇を検出するのに時間が掛かり、複数系統の試運転を完了するのにたいへん時間が掛かるという課題を有していた。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、熱源機内にある試運転スイッチを押せば、複数個の温水弁の内一つを開とし、暖房用放熱パネル面にリモコンを置いたときに室温感熱部が一定時間内に温度上昇を検知すれば、現在開としている温水弁の系統番号を熱源機からの通信で知り、このリモコンの持つ記憶部に記憶させるとともに、逆にリモコンの持つ固有番号を通信にて熱源機へ送信し、熱源機はこの受信した固有番号をその内部に持つ記憶部に記憶させるようにしたものにあって、前記室温感熱部がコネクタにて着脱可能で、リモコンを放熱パネルの表面に置いて試運転する時は、前記リモコンの端面に設けた別のコネクタに差し替えることで、前記室温感熱部が床面の温度上昇を検出するものである。
【０００７】
本発明によれば、熱源機にある試運転スイッチを押すことにより、床暖房リモコンとそれに対応する温水弁の系統番号を自動的に熱源機の不揮発性メモリに記憶する。すなわち、アドレスの自動設定を可能にすると共に、隣家の床暖房リモコンから運転指示が電波送信されてきたとしても、その送信されてきた床暖房リモコンのアドレスが熱源機の不揮発性メモリに記憶されていなければ、運転動作に入らないので、隣家の床暖房リモコンによる誤動作を防止することができるだけでなく、安価に構成することができる。
【０００８】

【００１３】
【実施例】
以下、本発明の実施例について図面を用いて説明する。
【００１４】
（実施例１）
図１は本発明の実施例１での無線通信床暖房制御システムの構成図であり、図２はその一つの床暖房リモコンの外観図である。図１において、１１は熱源機であり、１２ａ、１２ｂ、１２ｃ、１２ｄは床暖房パネルであり、１３ａ、１３ｂ、１３ｃ、１３ｄは温水弁であり、１４ａ、１４ｂ、１４ｃ、１４ｄは温水往パイプであり、１５は温水戻パイプであり、１６ａ、１６ｂ、１６ｃ、１６ｄは床暖房リモコンであり、１７は試運転スイッチであり、１８は不揮発性メモリである。熱源機１１から四つの床暖房パネル１２ａ、１２ｂ、１２ｃ、１２ｄに温水弁１３ａ、１３ｂ、１３ｃ、１３ｄを介して温水往パイプ１４ａ、１４ｂ、１４ｃ、１４ｄが接続されており、温水戻パイプ１５は統合されて熱源機１１へ接続されている。また、熱源機１１には試運転スイッチ１７と不揮発性メモリ１８が設けられている。また、図２のたとえば一つの床暖房リモコン１６ａには、運転スイッチ１９ａ、室温サーミスタ２０ａ、不揮発性メモリ２１ａがある。
【００１５】
図３は本発明の実施例１での床暖房リモコン１６ａを床暖房パネル１２ａに置いた時の縦断面図であるが、室温サーミスタ２０ａはプリント基板２４ａとリード線２３ａにて電気接続されている。保護カバー２２ａは、室温サーミスタ２０ａの機械的衝撃を保護するとともに、その上下に開口スリット部２７ａを設け、床暖房リモコン１６ａを壁面に取り付けた際に自然対流による床面の温度上昇を検出しやすい構成となっている。また、床温サーミスタ２５ａは、同様にプリント基板２４ａとリード線２６ａにて電気接続されているが、床暖房リモコン１６ａの背面側、すなわち、床暖房パネル１２ａと接面側に配置され、床暖房リモコン１６ａの背面の床温サーミスタ２５ａの近傍に設けた開口部２８ａにより床暖房パネル１２ａの温度上昇を検出しやすい構成となっている。
【００１６】
次に動作作用について説明する。たとえば、図１のように４系統の床暖房システムの場合、床暖房パネル１２ａに対応する床暖房リモコン１６ａの運転スイッチ１９ａが押されると、熱源機１１は電波でその信号をうけ、床暖房パネル１２ａにつながる温水往パイプ１４ａの途中にある温水弁１３ａを開き、床暖房パネル１２ａに温水を供給する。同様に、床暖房パネル１２ｂと床暖房リモコン１６ｂ、温水弁１３ｂの組合せと、床暖房パネル１２ｃと床暖房リモコン１６ｃ、温水弁１３ｃの組合せと、床暖房パネル１２ｄと床暖房リモコン１６ｄ、温水弁１３ｄの組合せもおなじ動作作用関係となる。
【００１７】
しかしながら、床暖房リモコン１６ａと１６ｂと１６ｃと１６ｄは、その内部の不揮発性メモリ（たとえば２１ａ）内にあらかじめ工場出荷段階で記憶させてある固有番号以外は外観上まったく同じ物で、施工現場でどの床暖パネル用の床暖房リモコンかを設定（以下、アドレス設定と呼ぶ）しなければならない。本発明では、この床暖房リモコンへのアドレス設定が短時間の試運転で容易に行えるシステムを提供する。
【００１８】
いま、互いに区別のつかない４つの床暖房リモコンをそれぞれ、床暖房パネル１２ａの近傍にあるものを床暖房リモコン１６ａ、床暖房パネル１２ｂの近傍にあるものを床暖房リモコン１６ｂ、床暖房パネル１２ｃの近傍にあるものを床暖房リモコン１６ｃ、床暖房パネル１２ｄの近傍にあるものを床暖房リモコン１６ｄとする。熱源機１１は試運転スイッチ１７が押されると、まず、温水弁１３ａを開け、温度上昇が有ったかどうかを各床暖房リモコンに一定時間ごとに電波通信にて問い掛ける。床暖房パネル１２ａに面接触している床温サーミスタ２５ａで一定時間内に温度上昇が検出できた床暖房リモコン１６ａは、電波通信で温度上昇の有った旨の返事をするとともに、不揮発性メモリ２１ａ内にあらかじめ工場出荷段階で記憶させてある固有番号（たとえば本事例の場合１６ａとする）を送信する。この情報を受け取った熱源機１１は、この情報、すなわち「温水弁１３ａと床暖房リモコン１６ａは対応する」を記号情報、たとえば「１３ａ⇔１６ａ」を不揮発性メモリ１８に書き込む。同様にして、他の床暖房リモコンについても、温水弁との相対関係が記憶され、試運転を完了する。
【００１９】
次に、通常運転時は、床暖房リモコン１６ａはその固有番号１６ａをアドレスとして使用し、その運転スイッチ１９ａが押されると、「１６ａ運転」と電波送信する。それを受けた熱源機１１は、不揮発性メモリ１８内のデータを照合し、床暖房リモコン１６ａに対応する温水弁は１３ａであると認識し、温水弁１３ａを開ける。したがって、試運転を行えば、自動的にアドレス設定できたことになる。
【００２０】
（実施例２）
本発明の実施例２での構成図は図１と同じであり、また、本発明の実施例２での一つの床暖房リモコンの外観図は図２と同じである。
【００２１】
図４は本発明の実施例２での床暖房リモコン１６ａを床暖房パネル１２ａに置いた時の縦断面図である。室温サーミスタ２０ａはリード線２３ａを介してプリント基板２４ａとコネクタ３０ａにて電気接続されている。保護カバー２２ａは、その上部に開口スリット部２７ａと下部に開口部２９ａとを有する。プリント基板２４ａの下端部にはコネクタ３０ａと同形状のコネクタ３１ａを、コネクタ３１ａの近傍のリモコンケース下端面部に開口部３２ａを設けてある。
【００２２】
図５は同縦断面図であるが、試運転時の状態を示すものである。室温サーミスタ２０ａをコネクタ３０ａから抜き、開口部２９ａから取り外す。取り外した室温サーミスタ２０ａを開口部３２ａに通してコネクタ３１ａと接続する。この時、室温サーミスタ２０ａの感熱部をセロハンテープ等で床暖房パネル１２ａに密着させることで、試運転時に床暖房パネル１２ａの温度上昇を短時間で検出可能となる。
【００２３】
試運転が完了すれば再び図４に示すように、室温サーミスタ２０ａをコネクタ３０ａに接続して、リモコン１６ａを壁面に取り付ける。このような構成とすれば、室温サーミスタと床温サーミスタを個別に持つ必要が無く安価な構成とすることができる。
【００２４】
（実施例３）
本発明の実施例３での構成図と一つの床暖房リモコンの外観図は同様に図１、図２と同じである。図６は本発明の実施例３での床暖房リモコン１６ａを床暖房パネル１２ａに置いた時の縦断面図である。室温サーミスタ２０ａはリード線２３ａにてプリント基板２４ａと電気接続されている。保護カバー２２ａは、その上部に開口スリット部２７ａと下部に開口部２９ａとを有する。
【００２５】
図７は同縦断面図であるが、試運転時の状態を示すものである。リード線２３ａは、室温サーミスタ２０ａの感熱部を開口部２９ａから引き出し、室温サーミスタ２０ａの感熱部を床暖房パネル１２ａに接触させるに十分な長さを有する。
【００２６】
この時、室温サーミスタ２０ａの感熱部をセロハンテープ等で床暖房パネル１２ａに密着させることで、試運転時に床暖房パネル１２ａの温度上昇を短時間で検出可能となる。
【００２７】
試運転が完了すれば再び図５に示すように、室温サーミスタ２０ａを保護カバー２２ａ内の元の位置に戻し、リモコン１６ａを壁面に取り付ける。このような構成とすれば、室温サーミスタを差し換えるコネクタを用意する必要が無く安価な構成とすることができる。
【００２８】
（実施例４）
本発明の実施例４での構成図と一つの床暖房リモコンの外観図は同様に図１、図２と同じである。図８は本発明の実施例４での床暖房リモコン１６ａを床暖房パネル１２ａに置いた時の縦断面図である。室温サーミスタ２０ａはリード線２３ａを介してプリント基板２４ａとコネクタ３０ａにて電気接続されている。保護カバー２２ａは、その上下部に開口スリット部２７ａを有する。室温サーミスタ２０ａの直下には、プリント基板２４ａの開口部３３ａと、床暖房リモコン１６ａの背面の床暖房パネル１２ａに接面する部分に開口部３４ａを設けてある。
【００２９】
試運転時に床暖房パネル１２ａの温度上昇があると、矢印３５ａの経路で気流上昇が発生し、床暖房パネル１２ａの温度上昇を室温サーミスタ２０ａにて短時間で検出でき、試運転時間の短縮につながる。試運転が完了すれば、試運転時と通常運転時に室温サーミスタ２０ａの位置を変えたりすることなく、このまま壁面に設置できる。また、試運転時に室温サーミスタ２０ａの感熱部を床暖房パネル１２ａにセロテープ等で貼りつける必要も無く、床面の化粧仕上げ面にキズを付けることも無い。
【００３０】
なお、プリント基板２４ａに設けた開口部３３ａは開口部でなくとも、単にプリント基板の切り欠き部でもかまわない。つまり、床暖房リモコン１６ａの内部に矢印３５ａの経路で気流上昇を邪魔するものがないことが重要となる。
【００３１】
（実施例５）
本発明の実施例５での構成図と一つの床暖房リモコンの外観図は同様に図１、図２と同じである。図９は本発明の実施例５での床暖房リモコン１６ａを床暖房パネル１２ａに置いた時の縦断面図である。室温サーミスタ２０ａはリード線２３ａを介してプリント基板２４ａとコネクタ３０ａにて電気接続されている。保護カバー２２ａは、その上下部に開口スリット部２７ａを有する。室温サーミスタ２０ａの直下には、プリント基板２４ａの開口部３３ａと、床暖房リモコン１６ａの背面の床暖房パネル１２ａに接面する部分に開口部３４ａを設けてあり、開口部３４ａを閉じることのできる開閉フタ３６ａをも有する。
【００３２】
図１０は床暖房リモコン１６ａの背面の開口部３４ａと開閉フタ３６ａの構成を示した斜視図である。開閉フタ３６ａはヒンジ構造で床暖房リモコン１６ａの背面に接続されており、試運転時は開、壁面に取り付ける通常運転時には閉とすることができる。
【００３３】
試運転時に床暖房パネル１２ａの温度上昇があると、矢印３５ａの経路で気流上昇が発生し、床暖房パネル１２ａの温度上昇を室温サーミスタ２０ａにて短時間で検出でき、試運転時間の短縮につながるばかりでなく、壁面に取り付けた通常運転時に壁面内の冷気の影響を受けることはない。
【００３４】
（実施例６）
本発明の実施例６での構成図と一つの床暖房リモコンの外観図は同様に図１、図２と同じである。図１１は本発明の実施例６での床暖房リモコン１６ａを床暖房パネル１２ａに置いた時の縦断面図である。室温サーミスタ２０ａはリード線２３ａを介してプリント基板２４ａとコネクタ３０ａにて電気接続されている。
【００３５】
保護カバー２２ａは、その上下部に開口スリット部２７ａを有する。室温サーミスタ２０ａの直下には、プリント基板２４ａの開口部３３ａと、床暖房リモコン１６ａの背面の床暖房パネル１２ａに接面する部分に開口部３４ａを設けてあり、開口部３４ａを閉じることのできる開閉フタ３６ａをも有する。
【００３６】
図１２は床暖房リモコン１６ａの背面の開口部３４ａと開閉フタ３６ａの構成を示した床暖房リモコン１６ａの内部より見た斜視図である。開閉フタ３６ａは床暖房リモコン１６ａの内背面部に設けたスライドレール３７ａに案内されて上下スライド式の開閉構造を持つ。
【００３７】
試運転時に床暖房パネル１２ａの温度上昇があると、矢印３５ａの経路で気流上昇が発生し、床暖房パネル１２ａの温度上昇を室温サーミスタ２０ａにて短時間で検出でき、試運転時間の短縮となるのは実施例５と同様だが、開閉フタ３６ａを開いたときに床暖房リモコン１６ａの背面側に突出しないので、床暖房パネル１２ａの熱を逃がすことなく室温サーミスタ２０ａにて検出でき、試運転時間をさらに短縮することができる。
【００３８】
図１３は試運転が完了した後、床暖房リモコン１６ａを壁面に取り付けるため立てたときの開閉フタ３６ａを、床暖房リモコン１６ａの背面側から見た斜視図である。開閉フタ３６ａは自重により落下し、図１２に示すストッパー３８ａで止まって開口部３４ａを閉じている。３９ａは開閉ふた３６ａの開作業を容易にするための掘り込み取っ手部である。
【００３９】
このような構造であれば、試運転完了後に開閉ふた３６ａを閉じ忘れることはなく、壁面に取り付けた通常運転時に壁面内の冷気の影響を受けることはない。
【００４０】
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明によれば、熱源機にある試運転スイッチを押せば、床暖房リモコンとそれに対応する温水弁の系統番号を自動的に熱源機の不揮発性メモリに記憶するので、自動的にアドレス設定ができると共に、また、隣家の床暖房リモコンから運転指示が電波送信されてきたとしても、その送信されてきた床暖房リモコンのアドレスが熱源機の不揮発性メモリに記憶されていなければ、運転動作に入らないようにすることで、隣家の床暖房リモコンによる誤動作を防止するだけでなく、熱源機にある試運転スイッチを押せば、床暖房リモコンとそれに対応する温水弁の系統番号を自動的に熱源機の不揮発性メモリに記憶するので、自動的にアドレス設定ができることに加えて、室温サーミスタと床温サーミスタを個別に持つ必要が無く安価な構成とすることができる。
【００４１】
また、本発明によれば、さらに加えて、室温サーミスタを差し換えるコネクタを用意する必要が無くさらに安価な構成とすることができる。
【００４２】
また、本発明によれば、さらに加えて、試運転時と通常運転時に室温サーミスタの位置を変えるとう煩雑な作業を必要とすることなく、そのまま壁面に設置できる。また、試運転時に室温サーミスタの感熱部を床暖房パネルにセロテープ等で貼りつける必要も無く、床面の化粧仕上げ面にキズを付けることもないという特有の効果を有する。
【００４３】
また、本発明によれば、さらに加えて、リモコンの室温感熱部の、前記リモコンを床面に置いて試運転する時に床面との接触面部に開閉可能部を設けたので、試運転時は開、壁面に取り付ける通常運転時には閉とすることができるので、床暖房パネルの温度上昇を室温サーミスタにて短時間で検出でき、試運転時間の短縮につながるばかりでなく、壁面に取り付けた通常運転時に壁面内の冷気の影響を受けることはない。
【００４４】
また、本発明によれば、さらに加えて、開閉可能部を開いたときに床暖房リモコンの背面側に突出しないので、床暖房パネルの熱を逃がすことなく室温サーミスタにて検出でき、試運転時間をさらに短縮することができる。しかも、試運転が完了した後、床暖房リモコンを壁面に取り付けるため立てると、開閉可能部は自重により自動的に開口部を閉じるので、試運転完了後に開閉可能部を閉じ忘れることはなく、壁面に取り付けた通常運転時に壁面内の冷気の影響を受けることはありえない。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  The present invention particularly relates to a wireless communication floor heating remote controller.
[0002]
[Prior art]
  Conventionally, this type of floor heating remote control is generally wired communication. As shown in FIG. 14, the conventional floor heating control system includes, for example, a hot water supply pipe 4a from the heat source unit 1 to four floor heating panels 2a, 2b, 2c, and 2d via hot water valves 3a, 3b, 3c, and 3d. 4b, 4c, 4d are connected, and the warm water return pipe 5 is integrated and connected to the heat source unit 1. On the other hand, the floor heating remote control 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d is provided in the room with the floor heating panel 2a, the floor heating remote control 6a in the room with the floor heating panel 2b, and the floor heating remote control 6b in the room with the floor heating panel 2c. The floor heating remote controller 6c is installed in a room with the floor heating panel 2d, and the heat source unit 1 opens the hot water valve 3a, for example, in response to a request from the floor heating remote controller 6a to heat the floor heating panel 2a. That is, in the heat source unit 1, for example, in the case of a heat source unit that can connect four floor heating systems, 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 machine.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
  However, in the conventional floor heating control system, the floor heating panel corresponding to the floor heating remote control connected to the connection terminal of the hot water valve that controls the supply of hot water to the floor heating panel and the corresponding floor heating remote control connection terminal is definitely provided. I had the problem of having to put it in a room. That is, the floor heating remote controller 6a must be attached to the room with the floor heating panel 2a, and the hot water valve 3a must be connected to the hot water feed pipe 4a connected to the floor heating panel 2a. It is very difficult to match the wiring to the hot water pipes and hot water valves embedded in the inside and the wiring to the floor heating remote control with each floor heating system, but it is very difficult to match them. If it is used in the wrong state, even if the floor heating remote control is turned on, the floor of the room does not warm, and the floor of the next room is heated.
[0004]
  Also, even when using a floor heating remote control for wireless communication, it is necessary to set which floor heating remote control corresponds to which floor heating panel at the time of construction.If this setting method is complicated, it is necessary to set it. Make mistakes or forget the settings themselves. Then, when the operation switch of the floor heating remote controller was turned on in the same manner, the floor of the room was not warmed, and the floor of the adjacent room was warmed, which was also a construction problem.
[0005]
  In order to solve these problems, pressing the test switch in the heat source unit opens one of the hot water valves, and the room temperature thermosensitive part of the remote control placed on the heat radiating panel surface is constant. If the temperature rise is detected within the time, the system number of the hot water valve that is currently open is known by communication from the heat source unit, and stored in the storage unit of this remote control, and conversely, the unique number of the remote control is communicated. When it is transmitted to the heat source unit and the heat source unit stores the received unique number in its internal storage unit, the room temperature thermosensitive unit of the remote control will increase the floor temperature when the remote control is attached to the wall. In order to facilitate detection by natural convection of the air, it has a configuration that protrudes from the surface of the remote control. Time consuming, there is a problem that very time-consuming to complete the commissioning of a plurality of systems.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  In the present invention, if a test run switch in the heat source unit is pushed, one of the plurality of hot water valves is opened, and when the remote control is placed on the surface of the heat radiating panel, the room temperature thermosensitive part rises in temperature within a certain time. If detected, know the system number of the hot water valve that is currently open by communication from the heat source machine, and store it in the storage unit of this remote control, and conversely send the unique number of the remote control to the heat source machine by communication, The heat source machine stores the received unique number in its own storage unitThen, the room temperature thermosensitive part is detachable with a connector, and when the remote control is placed on the surface of the heat dissipation panel for trial operation, the room temperature thermosensitive part is replaced by another connector provided on the end face of the remote control. Detecting temperature rise on the floorIt is.
[0007]
  According to the present invention, the system number of the floor heating remote controller and the corresponding hot water valve is automatically stored in the nonvolatile memory of the heat source unit by pressing a test operation switch in the heat source unit. That is, the address can be automatically set, and even if an operation instruction is transmitted by radio from the floor heating remote control of the neighbor, the transmitted address of the floor heating remote control is stored in the nonvolatile memory of the heat source unit. Otherwise, the operation does not enter, so it is possible to prevent malfunctions due to the floor heating remote control in the neighbor's house.Not only can it be configured at low cost.

【Example】
  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0014]
  Example 1
  FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a wireless communication floor heating control system in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an external view of one floor heating remote controller. In FIG. 1, 11 is a heat source machine, 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d are floor heating panels, 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d are hot water valves, and 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d are hot water feed pipes. Yes, 15 is a hot water return pipe, 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d are floor heating remote controllers, 17 is a trial run switch, and 18 is a non-volatile memory. The hot water return pipes 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d are connected from the heat source unit 11 to the four floor heating panels 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d via hot water valves 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d, It is integrated and connected to the heat source unit 11. Further, the heat source device 11 is provided with a test run switch 17 and a nonvolatile memory 18. Further, for example, one floor heating remote controller 16a in FIG. 2 includes an operation switch 19a, a room temperature thermistor 20a, and a nonvolatile memory 21a.
[0015]
  FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view when the floor heating remote controller 16a according to the first embodiment of the present invention is placed on the floor heating panel 12a. The room temperature thermistor 20a is electrically connected to the printed circuit board 24a through the lead wires 23a. . The protective cover 22a protects the mechanical impact of the room temperature thermistor 20a, and is provided with opening slit portions 27a above and below it, so that when the floor heating remote controller 16a is attached to the wall surface, it is easy to detect the temperature rise of the floor due to natural convection. It has a configuration. Similarly, the floor temperature thermistor 25a is electrically connected to the printed circuit board 24a and the lead wire 26a. However, the floor temperature thermistor 25a is disposed on the back side of the floor heating remote controller 16a, that is, on the side in contact with the floor heating panel 12a. The opening 28a provided in the vicinity of the floor temperature thermistor 25a on the back surface of the remote control 16a is configured to easily detect the temperature rise of the floor heating panel 12a.
[0016]
  Next, the operation and operation will be described. For example, in the case of a four-floor floor heating system as shown in FIG. 1, when the operation switch 19a of the floor heating remote controller 16a corresponding to the floor heating panel 12a is pressed, the heat source unit 11 receives the signal by radio waves, and the floor heating panel The hot water valve 13a in the middle of the hot water outgoing pipe 14a connected to 12a is opened, and hot water is supplied to the floor heating panel 12a. Similarly, the combination of the floor heating panel 12b, the floor heating remote control 16b, and the hot water valve 13b, the combination of the floor heating panel 12c, the floor heating remote control 16c, and the hot water valve 13c, the floor heating panel 12d, the floor heating remote control 16d, and the hot water valve 13d. This combination also has the same operational relationship.
[0017]
  However, the floor heating remote controllers 16a, 16b, 16c, and 16d are exactly the same in appearance except for the unique numbers that are stored in advance in the non-volatile memory (for example, 21a) at the factory shipment stage. It must be set (hereinafter referred to as address setting) whether it is a floor heating remote control for the floor warming panel. The present invention provides a system in which address setting to the floor heating remote controller can be easily performed by a short test run.
[0018]
  Now, four floor heating remote controllers that are indistinguishable from each other are the floor heating remote control 16a near the floor heating panel 12a, the floor heating remote control 16b near the floor heating panel 12b, and the floor heating panel 12c. What is in the vicinity is the floor heating remote control 16c, and what is in the vicinity of the floor heating panel 12d is the floor heating remote control 16d. When the trial operation switch 17 is pressed, the heat source unit 11 first opens the hot water valve 13a and asks each floor heating remote controller by radio wave communication at regular intervals to determine whether or not the temperature has risen. The floor heating remote controller 16a, which has detected a temperature rise within a predetermined time by the floor temperature thermistor 25a in surface contact with the floor heating panel 12a, responds that the temperature has risen by radio wave communication, and has a non-volatile memory. A unique number (for example, 16a in this case) stored in advance in the factory shipment stage in 21a is transmitted. Receiving this information, the heat source device 11 writes this information, that is, “the hot water valve 13a and the floor heating remote control 16a correspond” symbol information, for example, “13a⇔16a” in the nonvolatile memory 18. Similarly, with respect to other floor heating remote controllers, the relative relationship with the hot water valve is stored, and the trial operation is completed.
[0019]
  Next, during normal operation, the floor heating remote controller 16a uses the unique number 16a as an address. When the operation switch 19a is pressed, the floor heating remote controller 16a transmits a radio wave “16a operation”. Receiving this, the heat source unit 11 collates the data in the nonvolatile memory 18, recognizes that the hot water valve corresponding to the floor heating remote controller 16a is 13a, and opens the hot water valve 13a. Therefore, if a trial run is performed, the address can be automatically set.
