The operation and effect of the method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. FIG.

First, as shown in FIG. 1, a boiler to which the method of the present invention is applied basically comprises a remote controller 1 having a function of interlocking with an external server 4 via Wi-Fi, a smart phone 2, - the pie router (3).

2, the control unit 11 of the boiler having such a connection structure performs the maximum and minimum value calculation subroutine 20 every time the user operates the heating button to perform the initial combustion operation, And updates the corresponding maximum value and minimum value.

The maximum and minimum value calculation subroutine 20, which is executed every time the user operates the heating button by the control unit 11 in the boiler and performs the initial combustion operation, will be described first with reference to FIG.

Every time the user operates the heating button to perform the initial combustion operation, the control unit 11 in the boiler acquires the current weather information of the installation region and the corresponding region of the boiler from the external server 4 via the router 3 And stores it in the storage device 13 (S21).

The control unit 11 in the boiler activates the heating operation of the boiler and acquires the room temperature through the room temperature sensor 12 provided on the remote controller 1 and outputs the room temperature to the storage unit 13 at the first room temperature A. [ (S22). Then, it is determined whether the temperature of the circulating water side of the heating circulation water is continuously maintained within ± X degree C of the heating set temperature for the first predetermined time t1 (S23).

In this case, in the present invention, the temperature is set to ± 3 ° C. in the present invention at ± 3 ° C., and the first time (t 1) is set to 3 to 7 minutes in the present invention at the initial heating stabilization time in consideration of the boiler capacity, Respectively.

Accordingly, in the boiler control unit 11, for example, when the user sets the heating set temperature at 40 占 폚, the return-side temperature of the initial heating circulating water in the heating combustion operation is 35 to 37 占 폚 or 43 to 45 占 폚, The continuation judgment (S23) in which the continuation is continued for 3 to 7 minutes which is the time t1.

As a result of the determination by the controller 11 in the boiler, if the return-side temperature of the heating circulation water continues for a first time t1 that is within ± X ° C of the preset heating temperature, The temperature is acquired and stored in the storage device 13 at the second room temperature B (S24).

The controller 11 in the boiler then calculates the difference between the second room temperature B stored in the storage device 13 and the first room temperature A 1) is greater than "0 " is continued for the second predetermined time t2 (S25).

At this time, the second time t2 is set to 10 to 15 minutes in the present invention in consideration of the boiler capacity, the heating area, and the installation environment.

As a result of the determination in step S25 that the state in which the difference between the second room temperature B and the first room temperature A is greater than zero is continued for the second predetermined time t2, (S26) that the difference between the first room temperature (A) and the first room temperature (A) is greater than "0" is not continued for the second time (t2) .

As a result of the determination in step S25, the controller 11 in the boiler determines whether the difference between the second room temperature B and the first room temperature A is greater than zero for a second predetermined time t2, If the state in which the difference between the second room temperature B and the first room temperature A is greater than 0 is continued for the second time t2 (Yes in S25), the indoor temperature detected through the remote controller 1 And stores it as the third room temperature C in the storage device 13 (S27)

(Y - (B - A) / t2} according to the increase of the heating temperature by dividing the result obtained by subtracting the second room temperature (B) from the third room temperature (C) by the second time (t2) (S28), and selects maximum and minimum values in the maximum and minimum value tables stored in the storage device 13 in the form of FIG. 4 corresponding to the temperature of the area received from the server 4 (S29).

In step S30, the control unit 11 of the boiler determines whether the slope Y of the heating temperature is greater than the maximum value of the maximum and minimum values selected in step S30, If the slope Y is larger than the maximum value of the maximum and minimum value tables (Yes at S30), the maximum value is updated to the maximum value corresponding to the increase of the heating temperature (S31) and the process is terminated.

However, if it is judged at S30 that the slope Y of the heating unit 11 in the boiler is higher than the maximum value of the maximum and minimum value tables (No at S30), the slope Y (Y) is smaller than the minimum value of the maximum and minimum value tables selected in the above (S32).

If it is determined in step S32 that the slope Y of the room temperature is lower than the minimum value of the selected maximum and minimum tables, And if it is smaller than the minimum value of the minimum value table, the minimum value is updated to the minimum value according to the rise of the heating temperature (S33) and the process is terminated.

2, the control unit 11 in the boiler determines whether the user requires heating from the external smartphone 2 app (S1) in order to reduce the energy of the boiler during normal operation (S1). As a result, 2) If the application requests heating, the installation area and weather information of the boiler are acquired from the server 4 and stored in the storage device 13 (S2).

Thereafter, the control unit 11 of the remote controller 1 determines whether the information acquisition from the server 4 has failed (S3). If it fails, it recognizes that the heating energy monitoring operation has failed and switches to normal operation (S4).

However, if the information acquisition is successful (Yes in S3), the heating operation is started through the boiler, and at the same time, the indoor temperature is acquired through the indoor temperature detection sensor 12 provided on the remote controller 1, (S5), which is stored in the storage device (13), and then the temperature of the circulating water of the heating circulation water is set to a first time t1 (e.g., within a range of +/- 3 DEG C 3 to 7 minutes) (S6).

That is, for example, when the user sets the heating set temperature at 40 占 폚, the return-side temperature of the initial heating circulation water during the heating combustion operation is within the range of 35 to 37 占 폚 or 43 to 45 占 폚, (S6) to continue to hold for 7 minutes.

As a result of continuing the judgment (S6) as to whether or not the temperature of the circulation side of the heating circulation water continues for the first time which is set within the range of 占 C 占 of the set heating temperature, (S7), the room temperature detected through the remote controller 1 is acquired and stored in the storage device 13 at the second room temperature (B).

Then, it is determined whether a value obtained by subtracting the first room temperature (A) from the second room temperature (B) is smaller than 0 (S8). If the second room temperature (B) If the value is smaller than "0", the boiler is operating in a state where the insulation of the room is well-known due to a window opened on the smartphone (2) and the like, and a message informing that the heating energy is being wasted And displays it on the display unit 26 of the smartphone 2 (S9)

Accordingly, the user of the boiler recognizes the character displayed on the display portion of the smartphone () carried by the user at the remote place, and recognizes that the current window is open so that the heating can not be performed at the desired temperature even when heating .

Therefore, it is possible to take measures such as stopping the operation of the boiler from the remote place, so that it is possible to prevent unnecessary heating costs and shorten the life span of the product caused by the waste of the heating energy, .

On the other hand, if it is determined that the value of the second room temperature (B) - the first room temperature (A) is smaller than 0 in the control unit 11 in the boiler (S8) (S10), and when the second time (t2) elapses, the indoor temperature detected through the remote controller (1) is acquired and stored in the storage device (13) at the third room temperature (C) (S11).

(Y - (B - A) / t2} according to the increase of the heating temperature by dividing the result obtained by subtracting the second room temperature (B) from the third room temperature (C) by the second time (t2) (S12), and selects maximum and minimum values in the maximum and minimum value tables stored in the storage device 13 in the form of FIG. 4 corresponding to the temperature of the area received from the server 4 (S13).

In step S14, the control unit 11 determines whether the slope Y of the heating temperature is within a range of a value obtained by adding the first multiplication factor to the selected minimum value, If the inclination Y due to the rise of the heating temperature is within the range of the minimum value + the first magnification (%) selected in the above, the user transmits a heating energy waste message to the smartphone 2 (S15) (S15).

In this case, the first multiplication factor (%) added to the minimum value may be set within a range that can be regarded as a waste of the minimum energy reference. In the present invention, the first multiplication factor is set to 8 to 12%.

If it is determined in step S14 that the inclination Y of the control unit 11 in the boiler is within the range of the minimum value + the first multiplication factor selected as described above (No in S14) It is determined whether the inclination Y due to the rise in the heating temperature is within the range of the maximum value + the second magnification (%) selected in the above (S16), and if it is not within the range of the maximum value + the second magnification (%), the process is terminated.

However, if the inclination Y due to the rise of the heating temperature is within the range of the maximum value + the second multiplication factor (%) selected in the above (Yes in S16), a message informing that the heating efficiency is on is transmitted to the smartphone (S17) By displaying the display on the display unit 26, the user can accurately know that the heating in his / her home is normally performed, so that the merchandise and the reliability of the boiler itself can be greatly improved.

In this case, the second magnification (%) is set within a higher range so as to be recognized as the maximum value efficiency heating, unlike the first magnification (%) which is compared with the minimum value. In the present invention, .

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
