The present invention relates to a wired / wireless control system of a boiler, and more specifically, to enable two-way communication between a communication device and a boiler, and when a consumer or a boiler manager directly connects to the boiler using a communication device, the status of the boiler can be checked. It also relates to a wired / wireless control system for a boiler that allows status and information about the boiler to be transmitted to a consumer or boiler manager's communication device at regular intervals even without direct connections.

Boilers used in homes and public buildings are used for heating or hot water.

These boilers are divided into oil boilers and gas boilers according to the type of fuel provided.

When comparing oil and gas boilers having the same capacity, oil boilers are cheaper than gas boilers in terms of purchase price, but gas boilers have less fuel consumption than oil boilers.

However, in the long run, the cost to consumers is almost the same for both oil and gas boilers.

Therefore, gas boilers are used when the city gas is supplied, and oil boilers are frequently used in other areas where the city gas is not supplied.

On the other hand, water vapor generated during the combustion of gas generates heat energy in the process of converting into water (H ₂ O) when contacted with a low temperature object or air.

At this time, the method designed to increase the thermal efficiency by the gas boiler to re-absorb the generated heat is called a condensing gas boiler.

Such condensing gas boilers have a higher thermal efficiency than conventional gas boilers, and fuel costs are significantly reduced. Therefore, the use of condensing gas boilers is increasing.

In the following description, the boiler refers to a term including all water heaters and the like including an oil boiler, a gas boiler, and a condensing boiler.

A common boiler is usually installed in a veranda of a home or a building except for piping, and a thermostat for selecting / controlling various functions of a boiler is installed in a living room or a room.

In the past, to start or shut down a boiler, the consumer had to move to a place where the thermostat was installed.

Therefore, since the heating is not performed after going out for a long time without operating the boiler during the winter season, which uses a lot of heating, it takes a lot of time to wait until it is heated by directly operating the temperature controller.

At this time, if any abnormality occurs in the boiler, it is inconvenient to spend a lot of time to apply for maintenance after applying for A / S.

In recent years, in the case of boilers developed in recent years, technologies for starting / stopping boilers have been developed so that communication devices (general wired / wireless phones, mobile phones, PCS, PDA, Internet, etc.) can be used even if consumers do not operate the temperature controller as in the past. Remote control).

Therefore, even if you go out, you can monitor the condition of the boiler by connecting it to the boiler with a communication device, so that if the boiler malfunctions, you can analyze the cause immediately and respond quickly and accurately to provide consumers with more convenience. .

By the way, most of the known model system, it is possible to check the state of the boiler only when connected to the boiler by a communication device (including general wired and wireless phones, mobile phones, PCS, etc.). In addition, even when connected to a communication device, if various data (DATA) are requested for the controller of the boiler, the requested data is transmitted only as a voice signal of the telephone.

Therefore, when the voice signal is not properly received, it is difficult to completely solve the inconvenience in use, such as not having to retry or being transmitted according to the line condition.

For example, when the controller and the telephone of the boiler are connected, there is a disadvantage in that the status of the boiler can be confirmed only by making a call because the consumer cannot make a call without making a call.

In addition, in the case of the boiler manager, the call must be made to all boilers to be managed at all times, so that equipment / facility is required accordingly, and the manager has to stay there if necessary.

In addition, even if a consumer or a boiler manager periodically checks the status of the boiler through a communication device, when the boiler is not connected to the boiler in some cases, the boiler cannot be corrected.

In this case, an abnormality may occur in the boiler, which may lead to a large accident such as a fire or an explosion, and the controller may be damaged and the cause may not be properly understood.

In particular, the conventional control system that can remotely control the boiler through the Internet or telephone, etc. has a disadvantage in that it is burdensome for the consumer in terms of cost because it requires a separate dedicated line and a dedicated modem.

In addition, the conventional method was able to control the boiler or obtain the status information of the boiler only when the communication device (telephone, Internet) is connected to the boiler in real time.

Therefore, when requesting the status data of the boiler by connecting to the boiler by telephone or mobile phone, the voice signal can be transmitted only, so that the information can be obtained only by real-time access, and there is a problem that a retry is required.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to enable the two-way communication between the communication device and the boiler so that the state of the boiler when the consumer or boiler manager directly connected to the boiler using the communication device In addition to providing a wired / wireless control system for a boiler, it is possible to check the status and information about the boiler at regular intervals even without direct connection.

That is, the present invention can remotely control all the matters related to the operation of the boiler at a remote distance from the boiler while periodically checking the status of the boiler to provide improved reliability in using the boiler. To provide wired and wireless control systems.

In particular, the present invention, when an abnormal condition of the boiler occurs, the abnormal condition of the boiler is transmitted from the controller of the boiler to the server closest to the location where the boiler is installed, and the server receiving the abnormal condition of the boiler transmits it to the consumer and the boiler manager at the same time. Accordingly, the purpose of the boiler manager is to provide a wired / wireless control system for the boiler to prevent accidents by establishing a control system to process the after-sales service (A / S) more quickly and accurately.

In addition, the present invention is to connect the boiler and the communication device or server through a low-cost phone line in terms of cost, rather than the conventional Internet dedicated line, and to provide the call cost to send the information periodically from the boiler side to the server to the toll free In other words, it is another object to provide a wired / wireless control system of a boiler that is economically advantageous from the consumer's point of view.

In addition, the present invention manages all the information transmitted when a periodic or abnormal occurrence from the boiler in a database (DB) in the integrated management server, to systematically manage the after-sales service (A / S) in the future as the integrated management of the overall information about the boiler Another purpose is to provide a wired / wireless control system for a boiler that can be provided by the boiler.

In addition, the present invention, when providing the status of the boiler to the consumer or the boiler administrator through the communication device from the server receiving the information of the boiler through a communication device, by providing a voice service, as well as text services, so that the consumer or boiler administrator Even if a direct connection is not received, the boiler status information is recorded as a text service on a communication device. Therefore, it is to provide a wired / wireless control system of a boiler so that the status of the boiler can be grasped in a short time later.

The present invention for achieving the above object, in the wired and wireless control system of the boiler to be able to remotely control the state of the boiler through a communication device from the outside, provided in the boiler a plurality of equipment parts related to the operation of the boiler A controller comprising: a controller for controlling and a temperature controller having a unique number and a password for two-way communication while enabling data transmission / reception between the controller at a position spaced from the controller; A communication device capable of remotely controlling the controller and receiving data from the controller; Wired / wireless control of the boiler, characterized in that it comprises a connection network having a server configured to be connected via the temperature controller and a communication line (or telephone line) bidirectionally and mutually communicate with the communication device at the same time.

In particular, the temperature controller is provided with a notification function to periodically transmit the status of the boiler to the communication device of the consumer, the notification function is to be made according to the consumer's choice.

However, in the wired / wireless control system of the present invention, when an abnormality occurs in the boiler, an abnormal state of the boiler is transmitted to the communication device through the temperature controller, ignoring whether the notification function is selected or not and the set transmission period of the notification function. Information is set to be transmitted.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

1 is a control block diagram of a wired and wireless control system of a boiler according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a control block diagram of the controller and the temperature control period of the control system shown in FIG.

Before explaining this figure, it demonstrates generally about this invention as follows.

In the wired / wireless control system of the boiler according to the present invention, the controller 10 of the boiler 1 is connected to a temperature controller 20 capable of transmitting / receiving, and the temperature controller 20 transmits / receives a telephone to the outside. The communication unit 26 is provided and is connected to the server 32 by a communication line (or telephone line), and the external communication device 5 (wired / wireless telephone, cellular phone, PDA, PC, etc.) is connected by the server 32. It is configured to be transmitted / received.

Accordingly, the two-way communication between the communication device 5 and the boiler 1 is enabled so that the boiler 1 may be directly connected to the server 32 connected to the boiler 1 by using the communication device 5 or a consumer or a boiler manager. The status and information of the boiler 1 can be checked through the server 32 provided with the boiler 1 information at regular intervals even without direct connection. It can be sent to.

Accordingly, the consumer or the boiler manager can remotely control all the matters related to the operation of the boiler 1 at a remote distance from the boiler 1 through the communication device 5 as in the related art. The state can be checked periodically, so that improved reliability can be given in using the boiler 1.

At this time, the boiler manager means a technician in charge of the after-sales service (A / S) of the boiler (1) or a responsible area after-sales service (A / S) center of the boiler (1).

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the boiler 1 is provided with a controller 7 comprising a controller 10 and a thermostat 20.

The controller 10 having a predetermined unique number controls a predetermined device component 2 related to the operation of the boiler 1.

In this case, the predetermined device part 2 includes a blower, a heater, a valve, and the like.

The controller 10 is also connected to the temperature controller 20 having a predetermined unique number and password for communication.

The controller 10 compares / determines and calculates data input from the first input processing unit 11 and the first input processing unit 11 to read and process data of all sensors provided in the boiler 1. A first comparison decision unit 12 for generating a control signal, and a first determination to determine the state of the device component (2), such as a blower, a valve, etc. according to the value determined by the first comparison decision unit 12 and output accordingly And an output unit 13 and a first boiler communication transmission / reception processing unit 14 for processing communication transmission / reception data with the temperature controller 20.

That is, the first boiler communication transceiving processor 14 is connected to each other to enable bidirectional communication with the second boiler communication transceiving processor 24 of the temperature controller 20 to be described later.

The temperature controller 20 includes a second boiler communication transmission / reception processing unit 24 capable of bidirectional communication with the first boiler communication transmission / reception processing unit 14 of the controller 10, an external predetermined communication device 5 or a server ( 32) a communication unit 26 which is also capable of two-way communication, a second input processing unit 21 which inputs and processes various information related to the control of the device component 2 by reading input values of various switches, and the second input processing unit. The value (data) inputted at (21) and the value (data) received at the second boiler communication transmission / reception processing unit 24 and the communication unit 26 are compared / determined to determine the setting / selection state of the temperature controller and the boiler accordingly. A second comparison judging unit 22 for determining the control signal of (1) and an output unit to the display unit 25 for displaying the current setting / selection state at a value determined by the second comparison judging unit 22; It has two output parts 23.

Here, the communication device 5 includes a general wired / wireless telephone, a mobile phone, a PCS, a PDA, a computer capable of communicating with the Internet 31, and the like, and data between the controller 7 and the communication device 5 are mutually bidirectional. In order to be transmitted, it may be directly connected through wired or wireless, or may be connected through a connection network 30 connected by a separate telephone line.

That is, the separate connection network 30 refers to a server 32 connected to the boiler 1 through a communication line (or a telephone line), an integrated management server 33 that can be connected to the server 32 in real time, and these Internet 31 to build the environment of the.

The integrated management server 33 serves to store and update (up-date) the information (data) provided by the server 32 for each boiler by a database (DB), thereby using the boiler history and various information. It can be used as a useful material for future customer (consumer) support.

At this time, the server 32 is preferably provided in a boiler sales agency or the local after-sales service (A / S) branch located closest to the boiler (1).

Therefore, in order to control the boiler 1 with a general wired / wireless phone, a mobile phone, a PCS, or a PDA, the communication device 5 directly connects to the communication unit 26 of the temperature controller 20 or makes a phone call to the server 32. You have to walk in.

Details of the remote control of the boiler 1 will be described later.

In addition, the communication unit 26 of the temperature controller 20 has a notification function that is periodically connected to the server 32 via the connection network 30 at a predetermined time interval to provide a state of the boiler 1. In this way, the state information of the boiler 1 provided to the server 32 is transmitted to the communication device 5 of the consumer directly through the server 32.

Of course, in this case, when it is cumbersome for the consumer to be periodically provided with the status information of the boiler 1, the consumer may stop receiving the information periodically by the choice of the consumer.

That is, the notification function is to determine whether or not to transmit according to the choice of the consumer.

In this case, the predetermined time interval may be set directly by the consumer or the boiler administrator, or may be remotely controlled by the server 32 or the integrated management server 33.

In addition, the method of receiving the status for the boiler 1 may be in the form of a text message, a voice message transmitted from the server 32.

When the boiler 1 is to be controlled by a computer capable of internet 31 among the communication devices 5, the server 32 must first be connected to the server 32.

In addition, the method for receiving the status of the boiler 1 via the Internet, may be a method such as an email by the server 32 and the integrated management server 33.

On the other hand, the temperature controller 20 and the controller 10 always share two-way data while bidirectionally communicating, and the controller 10 starts and stops the boiler 1 according to the input data of the temperature controller 20.

Therefore, the consumer may operate or stop the boiler 1 by the controller 10 by directly manipulating the second input processing unit 21 provided in the temperature controller 20 or by using the communication device 5 described above. The boiler 1 can be operated and scheduled remotely.

In addition, the temperature controller 20 and the controller 10 are always bidirectionally communicating and sharing data with each other, and the communication unit 26, the server 32, and the communication device 5 of the temperature controller 20 bidirectionally communicate with each other. The communication device 5 and the temperature controller 20 communicate with each other because they are designed to be able to do this.

Thus, data can be transmitted from the boiler 1 to the communication device 5 first, so that a consumer or a boiler manager can receive various information of the boiler 1 through the communication device 5.

Hereinafter will be described a specific embodiment of the wired / wireless control system of the boiler.

As shown in FIG. 2, the temperature controller 20 and the controller 10 communicate with each other at regular intervals through the first and second boiler communication transmission and reception processing units 14 and 24, and operate and operate the boiler 1. We share various information about.

In addition, the communication unit 26 of the temperature controller 20 may be bidirectionally connected to the communication device 5 and the server 32, and the communication device 5 and the server 32 may also be bidirectionally connected to each other. have.

Therefore, various types of information related to the state and operation of the boiler 1 can be transmitted and shared with the communication device 5 and the server 32 at regular intervals.

Of course, when an abnormality occurs in the boiler 1, it is set to ignore the set transmission period according to the notification function, and to immediately communicate with the communication device 5 and the server 32 from the temperature controller 20 As will be described later.

Thus, at a distance away from the boiler 1, a consumer or a boiler manager uses a communication device 5 including a general wired / wireless telephone, a mobile phone, a PCS, a PDA, a computer capable of communicating with the Internet 31, and the boiler 1 ).

That is, by using the communication device 5 to dial the communication unit 26 of the temperature controller 20 and directly connected to the state of the boiler 1 (operation or non-operation, selected function, temperature, etc.) Can be controlled.

Of course, the communication device 5 may be used to dial the communication unit 26 of the thermostat 20 to directly control the state of the boiler 1 by connecting through the server 32 instead of directly making a connection. have.

Hereinafter, a method of remotely making a call to the communication device 5 to the server 32 will be described.

First, when the communication device 5 makes a phone call to the server 32, it is connected to the server 32. The state of the boiler 1 in the state of being connected to the server 32 (operation / non-operation, selected function) , Temperature, etc.)

The input method may be any method such as text, voice, or message. The following method may be preferable.

When the consumer inputs the desired state of the boiler 1 using the communication device 5 to remotely control the operation of his boiler 1, the server 32 stores the information selected by the consumer in the database. (DB) and update it in real time (Up-Date).

That is, when the consumer connects to the server 32, the server 32 checks whether the person making the call is the temperature controller 20 or the consumer, and if the consumer first selects a voice service or a text service by voice. To connect to the desired service function.

And, if you want a voice service, the server 32, for example, "00 boiler," "Please press the first number and password first" and the voice output, and after confirming the transmitted unique number and password, if the "service number you want" Please press "" and answer the voice service, open the database corresponding to the unique number and let the customer select the desired service.

Of course, other methods may be employed to determine the consumer as described above.

When the customer answers or receives the request, selects the desired service and ends the service, the two-way communication between the communication device 5 and the server 32 is released.

When the customer requests a function change by arranging the received and input data, the server 32 connects to the communication unit 26 of the temperature controller 20 according to the unique number corresponding to the boiler 1 of the consumer. .

When connected to the communication unit 26 of the temperature controller 20, after confirming the password, and transmits the data requested by the consumer, communication is released when the communication unit 26 is completed.

Of course, when the information selected by the consumer in the communication unit 26 is input, it is transferred to the first boiler communication transmission / reception processing unit 14 through the second boiler communication transmission / reception processing unit 24, and the first boiler communication transmission / reception processing unit 14 is performed. ) Controls the appliance component 2 through the first output unit 13.

If the customer calls the first time to request a function change and then selects the confirmation function, the server 32 may call the customer to transmit the status of the change and the current boiler 1 status to the voice service.

In addition, if you want a text service, check the unique number and password as above, and if it is correct, "hang the phone, please wait a minute" after the voice transmission, the customer corresponding to the unique number to the integrated management server 33 requests the text service Inform.

Then, the integrated management server 33 connects to the consumer through the telephone service of the text service homepage through the Internet 31 homepage.

Then, as in the voice service above, the user checks the information of the consumer again while guiding the text service, and then texts the status of the current boiler 1 in the database (DB) where the status of the boiler 1 is desired. If a request for a function change is received, the consumer selects the end of the call. After the call is terminated, the call is terminated, the call history is stored in the database, and the requested value is collected and transmitted to the server 32.

Then, as described above, the server 32 calls the temperature controller 20, processes and when completed, stores and updates the database (DB) of the server 32 and transmits the data to the integrated management server 33.

The integrated management server 33 transmits the function change is completed to the requested consumer (corresponding to the unique number) and the current status of the boiler (1) by text mail, and stored and updated in the consumer's database (DB).

On the other hand, the above state means that the consumer directly connected to the boiler 1 using the communication device 5 in order to control the state of their boiler (1).

However, on the contrary, the boiler 1 may inform the consumer about the condition of the boiler 1.

In this case, it is advantageous to use the notification function provided in the temperature controller 20.

If it is assumed that the notification function is set to the second input processing unit 21 of the temperature controller 20 at intervals of 4 hours, a timer (not shown) in the communication unit 26 is operated every 4 hours to operate the boiler. Various information related to the state and operation of (1) are transmitted to the communication device (5).

That is, when the communication unit 26 makes a call to the server 32 of the connection network 30, the server 32 is automatically connected to the server 32 adjacent to the consumer.

In this connection, various procedures are first performed. First, when a password is transmitted and a response is confirmed by the server 32, the communication unit 26 has a predetermined unique number and a number (password) related to the operation of the current boiler (1). Send the number corresponding to the status (heating, stop status).

For example, if the heating of the boiler 1 is "1" and the stop is "2", the corresponding number is transmitted.

Then, the server 32 confirms the received data and ends the telephone connection state.

After the connection is terminated, the server 32 transmits the data to a communication device 5 such as a telephone, a mobile phone, or a mail address of a computer corresponding to a unique number among the received data.

Of course, in order to transmit data from the server 32 to the communication device 5, when selling the boiler (1), it will have to have the customer's communication device (5) information for the boiler (1).

In addition, if the data transmitted directly to the general telephone out of the communication device 5 through the controller 7, voice ("00 boiler" "notification service." "Current boiler of the customer is selected to go out heating Is stopped ", etc.) is sent.

Of course, after being transmitted, it is automatically terminated after a predetermined time, for example, 10 seconds.

If the communication device 5 is transmitted to a mobile phone or a PCS including a PDA, the Internet 31 is connected to the telephone service homepage ("00 boiler" "notification service" "current customer's boiler 1) Going out is selected and the heating is turned off ", etc.) will be sent as a text mail.

And, if the communication device (5) is a computer, via the homepage of the boiler (1) manufacturer, etc. ("00 Boiler (1)" "Notification service" "Current boiler of the customer is selected to go out Heating is stopped ”, etc.) may be sent to the e-mail of the consumer.

Of course, in order to receive the transmission by e-mail, the consumer will have to accurately intervene his e-mail when purchasing the boiler (1), or even register the homepage of the boiler (1) company even after purchasing the boiler (1).

As such, the temperature controller 20 and the controller 10 are capable of bidirectional communication through the first and second boiler communication transmission and reception processing units 14 and 24, and the temperature controller 20 is a consumer communication device 5. And since the two-way communication with the server 32 is possible, the current state of the boiler 1 can be periodically transmitted to the communication device 5 of the consumer.

Therefore, the consumer can use the boiler 1 with confidence.

Of course, the above information may be transmitted to the communication device 5 of the boiler manager in addition to the consumer.

However, as above, the service of the outgoing function guidance degree of the boiler 1 need not be substantially delivered to the boiler manager.

However, if an abnormality occurs in the boiler 1 and the boiler 1 is overheated, this information will have to be transmitted not only to the consumer but also to the boiler manager.

That is, when a signal from a sensor (not shown) that detects a signal that an abnormality has occurred in the boiler 1 is read by the first input processing unit 11 of the controller 10, the first comparison determination unit 12 is performed. It is read that the boiler 1 is in an abnormal state.

The data is transmitted by the first boiler communication transmission / reception processing unit 14 to the second boiler communication transmission / reception processing unit 24 of the temperature controller 20, and then passes through the second comparison judgment unit 22 or the communication unit ( 26) directly.

Then, the communication unit 26 transmits the abnormal state information of the boiler 1 to the communication device 5 of the consumer or the boiler manager through the server 32 regardless of whether the notification function is selected in the above-described manner.

The type of transmission may be text or voice as described above. For example, "00 boiler" "Currently, your boiler is over XX. Please check with the boiler company customer service." Can be

Of course, this information is stored and managed in the database (DB) of the integrated administrator server (33).

On the other hand, in the server 32, when the abnormal state data of the boiler 1 is received, it is set to go through the process of confirming whether or not the abnormality of the boiler 1 before transmitting to the consumer or boiler manager.

That is, when the communication unit 26 transmits the abnormal state information of the boiler 1 to the server 32, the server 32 makes a call to a contact corresponding to the unique number of the communication unit 26, When the connection with the communication unit 26 is made, confirm the password for the transmission / reception, and then check the current state of the boiler (1) through data communication.

Then, when the state of the current boiler 1 thus confirmed and the abnormal state data of the boiler 1 transmitted and received from the communication unit 26 are compared with each other and are equal to each other, the boiler 1 finally has an abnormality. As a result, according to the abnormal state data received by the communication unit 26 is to transmit the data to the consumer or the boiler manager.

In this case, when the server 32 transmits an abnormal state of the boiler 1 to the boiler manager, an address, a contact point, and a contact address of the boiler 1 are received through a text message on the communication device 5 of the boiler manager (particularly, a mobile phone). The current state data of the boiler 1 can be transmitted in detail so that it can be coped with more quickly.

As described above, in the present invention, when an error occurs in the boiler 1, it is immediately transmitted to the communication device 5 of the consumer or the boiler manager, so that the consumer and the boiler manager can know at the same time as the error occurs, and the boiler manager can analyze the exact cause You can do it quickly.

In other words, even if there is no after-sales service (A / S) request through the customer's failure report, the boiler manager can immediately detect the abnormal state of the boiler (1) can respond quickly.

In particular, when the abnormal condition of the boiler 1 is simple, the boiler manager does not visit the home of the consumer directly, but connects to the communication unit 26 of the thermostat 20 through the server 32 to control remotely. If not, it can be done more safely and conveniently by visiting customers whenever they need it.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent leading to a large accident such as a fire or an explosion due to a sudden abnormality of the boiler 1.

In the above-described embodiment, the server 32 and the integrated management server 33 have been described separately, but they may be configured in one piece.

As described above, according to the present invention, the two-way communication between the communication device and the boiler enables the consumer or the boiler manager to directly connect to the boiler by using the communication device, as well as to confirm the status of the boiler and to the boiler even without a direct connection. There is an effect that the status and information can be transmitted to the communication device of the consumer or boiler manager at regular intervals.

In other words, according to the present invention, it is possible to remotely control all the matters related to the operation of the boiler at a long distance away from the boiler and to periodically check the status of the boiler to give improved reliability in using the boiler. It works.

Particularly, in the present invention, when an abnormal condition of the boiler occurs, the abnormal condition of the boiler is transmitted from the controller of the boiler to the server closest to the location where the boiler is installed, and the server that receives the abnormal condition of the boiler simultaneously sends it to the consumer and the boiler manager. Therefore, the boiler manager can control the after-sales service (A / S) more quickly and accurately, thereby preventing the accident of the boiler in advance.

In addition, the present invention is connected between the boiler and the communication device or the server through a low-cost phone line in terms of cost, rather than a conventional Internet dedicated line, and the incoming call costs to periodically send information (notification function) from the boiler side to the server is a receiver By providing it as a burden, it is economically very advantageous from the consumer's point of view, thereby promoting the consumer's desire to purchase.
