The present invention relates to a digilog type room temperature controller, in particular, the state of the room temperature controllers by connecting the room temperature controllers installed in the living room and each room of the building in a master-slave manner. And the set temperature can be checked and changed by the main room temperature controller, and the change of the set temperature is performed by the rotation operation of the digital dial knob, and according to the operation state of the dial knob or the operation state of the cooling / heating device. The present invention relates to a digit-based indoor temperature controller capable of providing a user-friendly operation environment by changing the color of the light emitting part around the dial knob.

At present, apartments and houses where most people live in Korea use oil or gas boilers as the main heating devices for heating the rooms. Remote controllers for heating such boilers are in the form of a room temperature controller. It is installed one by one in the kitchen. However, in the case of the heating system installed in existing houses, the room thermostat only controls the temperature of the heating water supplied from the boiler, and does not control the temperature of each room separately. Therefore, in order for the occupants of the house to use the temperature of each room differently, it was inconvenient to adjust the opening degree by manually adjusting the valve of the heating pipe to each room by hand.

On the other hand, as the level of residential environment of the people has been greatly improved, recently built luxury apartments have been installed with a separate room temperature controller in each room, and an indoor temperature control system that can remotely control the valves of the heating pipes to each room is installed. It is showing.

However, even in the case where a plurality of indoor temperature controllers are installed in one generation, in order to control the temperature of each room, it is inconvenient to operate the indoor temperature controllers installed in the room.

In addition, the conventional room temperature controller is composed of buttons of the input part (up) and down (down) for temperature control, giving users a hard feeling, and in order to set the desired temperature, the user must press the button continuously to set the desired temperature. There was a inconvenience, and there was a disadvantage that the confirmation signal corresponding to the user's operation does not appear prominently in the room temperature controller.

In addition, the conventional room temperature controllers have a disadvantage in that a wallpaper is absorbed and takes a long time to be repaired in the process of repairing because a broken controller has to be removed and a new controller is installed for repair in case of a failure. .

In order to solve the first problem, the present invention connects a plurality of indoor temperature controllers installed in one household in a master-slave manner to grasp and set the current temperature of the plurality of different indoor temperature controllers in the main indoor temperature controller. It is an object of the present invention to provide a digitized indoor temperature controller capable of changing the temperature.

In order to solve the second problem, the present invention adopts a digital dial knob as a set temperature changing device, so that the user can easily hold and turn by hand, and change the set temperature more easily. It provides familiarity and affection to users who are familiar with it, and the color of the light emitting part around the dial knob is changed whenever the dial knob is operated or depending on the operation status of the boiler and air conditioner. An object of the present invention is to provide a digitized indoor temperature controller that can easily check the status.

In order to solve the third problem, the present invention is to make the rear case in the form of a separate bracket that is detachably combined with the front case and the printed circuit board to be fixed to the wall separately when the rear bracket when a failure occurs during use It is an object of the present invention to provide a digitized indoor temperature controller that can remove a printed circuit board and a front case and easily replace it with a new one without opening it.

In order to achieve the above object, a digitlog type room temperature controller provided by the present invention includes a temperature sensor (81) for sensing a room temperature; Room selection buttons 51,... 56 for selecting which of a plurality of rooms to select, display and control; A mode selection button 3 capable of setting functions such as cooling, heating, indoors, going out, vacancy, and reservation; A display unit 4 for displaying data such as a current temperature and a set temperature, room numbers, cooling, heating, rehabilitation, going out, vacancy, and reservation; A dial knob 6 for rotating in a diglog manner and for changing a set temperature; It is provided at the periphery of the dial knob 6, and emits light in a first color when the dial knob 6 is operated, and in a second color different from the first color when the dial knob 6 is not operated.
