The present invention relates to an automatic temperature control method according to the boiler time and a boiler temperature controller using the same, in particular, the automatic temperature control method according to the boiler time and boiler temperature using the same by subdividing the temperature controller of the boiler by time to set different temperature for each time It is about a regulator.

In general, a boiler is a heating system that supplies a predetermined heat source inside a house by applying a predetermined heat to the heating water for use in heating of a house or living space. Such a boiler has a boiler temperature controller installed indoors and controls the operation of the boiler body and the temperature of the heating water, and a boiler body circulating the heating water heated to a predetermined temperature by the burner to the room.

Commonly used boilers in the home is applied to the on-off control method using a bimetal installed in the room switch, when the room temperature is lower than the set temperature, the bimetal is 'on' to operate the boiler to improve the room temperature, On the contrary, if the room temperature is higher than the set temperature, the bimetal is 'off' to stop the operation of the boiler to maintain the room temperature at the set temperature.

1 is an external configuration diagram of a boiler temperature controller according to the prior art, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a boiler temperature controller according to the prior art.
