Abstract

PURPOSE: An automatic operation control method of a boiler using detected temperature of tap water for determining seasons is provided to automatically operate the boiler with the temperature proper for seasons. CONSTITUTION: An automatic operation control method of a boiler using detected temperature of tap water for determining seasons is as follows. A CPU(Central Processing Unit) of a main controller determines whether an auto-function operation button of a room controller is turned on or not(S11). If the auto-function operation button is turned on, the temperature of tap water for determining seasons and room temperature are detected(S12). Control temperature of heating water comparing to present temperature of the tap water or room control temperature and control temperature for hot water are calculated using a pre-set table(S14). A combustion process of the boiler is operated corresponding to the calculated control temperature of heating water, the room control temperature, and the control temperature for hot water(S15). If the combustion process is operated, whether the temperature of the heating and hot water reaches preset temperature or not is determined. If the temperature does not reach, a step is returned to an initial step. If the temperature reaches, all processes are completed(S16).

 The operation and effect of the method of the present invention having the above steps will be described as follows.

First, the boiler to which the method of the present invention is applied is configured such that the main controller 1 and the room controller 2 perform bidirectional communication and control the operation of the boiler as shown in FIG. 1.

At this time, the main controller 1 stores the indoor and outdoor air temperature detectors 11 and 12 for detecting indoor and outdoor air temperatures, the direct water temperature detector 17, and various data and control programs. ), A functional part driving unit 14 for driving various functional parts, a central processing unit 15 for performing an overall control function of the boiler, and a communication unit 16.

In addition, the room controller 2 includes an indoor temperature detector 21 for detecting an indoor temperature, a display unit 22 for displaying various states, and a user to change and set according to heating and hot water control temperatures as necessary. Automatic function operation button 23, the temperature setting unit 24 to allow the user to set the heating and hot water temperature, the human body sensor 25 to detect whether there is a human body (that is the user) in the room, the overall of the room controller It has a form having a central processing unit 26 and the communication unit 27 for performing a control function.

In addition, in order to provide a comfortable heating using the boiler having the above configuration, it is necessary to manage the temperature of the room and the temperature of the floor at the same time, the desired temperature may vary according to the user.

By the way, in most cases, the room temperature is suitable about 24 ~ 25 ℃, the room temperature is known to be suitable about 32 ~ 38 ℃, although there are some differences depending on the construction structure of the building, the temperature of the floor as described above In order to set 32 ~ 38 ℃, it is appropriate if the boiler's heating water supply temperature is 45 ~ 55 ℃.

In addition, the direct water temperature supplied to the boiler in the home may also be different depending on the installation type of the pipe and the environmental conditions of the surroundings, but according to statistics, the water supply to the home usually shows about 10 to 20 ° C in spring or autumn. It is known to represent 20 to 25 ℃ in the summer, and less than 5 ℃ ~ 10 ℃ in the winter, based on this to create a table applied to the method of the present invention by the memory device 13 or the central processing unit 15 in the main controller (1) Remembered).

On the other hand, in the method according to the present invention to allow the user to operate the boiler under the optimal conditions with a simple button operation, in one embodiment of the first of the central processing unit in the main controller ( In step 15), the output signal of the room controller 2 is normally input in real time, and it is determined by the user whether the automatic function operation button 23 installed in the room controller 2 is "on" (S11). .

As a result of the determination, if the user maintains the "off" state without pressing the automatic function operation button 23, the normal operation mode is executed. If the user presses the automatic function operation button 23 and the "on" signal is detected, The indoor temperature is detected through the indoor temperature detectors 11 and 21 installed in the main and room controllers 1 and 2, respectively, while detecting the direct temperature for season determination through the temperature detection sensor installed in the inflow pipe. The temperature is detected (S12).

Subsequently, the main controller 1 communicates with the room controller 2 to determine whether a human body is detected through the human body sensor 25 installed in the room controller 2 (S13), and if the human body is not detected. If not, the heating operation according to the outgoing operation mode in order to reduce unnecessary fuel and electricity royalty (S17).

However, when the human body is detected through the human body sensor 25 as described above, it is determined that there is a user or the like in the room. Using the table (see FIG. 4), the heating water control temperature or the indoor control temperature and the hot water control temperature with respect to the current direct water temperature are calculated (S14).

In this case, the calculated values of the heating water control temperature and the indoor and hot water control temperature will be described with reference to the table shown in FIG. 4, and the indoor (setting) temperature is 22 ± It is calculated as 1 ℃, the heating water limit (control) temperature is calculated as 45 ± 3 ℃, the hot water (set) temperature is calculated as 37 ± 2 ℃, and the direct water temperature is detected, for example below 2 ℃ The indoor (set) temperature is calculated to be 25 ± 1 ℃, the heating water limit (control) temperature is calculated to 70 ± 3 ℃, and the hot water (set) temperature is calculated to be 45 ± 2 ℃.

Thereafter, the central processing unit 15 in the main controller 1 performs the combustion operation of the boiler in response to the heating water control temperature or the indoor control temperature and the hot water control temperature values calculated above (S15). In the process of carrying out the combustion operation, the central processing unit 15 in the main controller 1 continuously determines whether the temperature of the heating water and the hot water has reached the user's set temperature (S16). It will return to and end when it reaches.

In this way, by detecting the direct water temperature, the season is judged, and then the heating water control temperature or the indoor control temperature and the hot water control temperature according to the indoor temperature in the relevant season can be calculated to operate the boiler under optimum conditions, thus maintaining a pleasant indoor environment. Not only can the hot water temperature be automatically set to the control temperature in accordance with the current water supply temperature, it is possible to carry out the desired hot water operation easily.

Meanwhile, in another embodiment of the present invention, first, as in the embodiment, the central processing unit 15 in the main controller 1 receives the output signal of the room controller 2 normally in real time and is continuously input by the user. It is determined whether or not the automatic function operation button 23 provided in the room controller 2 is "on" (S21).

As a result of the determination, if the user maintains the "off" state without pressing the automatic function operation button 23, the normal operation mode is executed. If the user presses the automatic function operation button 23 and the "on" signal is detected, The indoor temperature is detected through the indoor temperature detectors 11 and 21 installed in the main and room controllers 1 and 2, respectively, while detecting the direct temperature for season determination through the temperature detection sensor installed in the inflow pipe. In addition to detecting the temperature, the temperature of the outside air is detected through the outside temperature detection unit 12 connected to the outside temperature detection sensor installed in the air supply port of the boiler (not shown) (S22).

Subsequently, the main controller 1 communicates with the room controller 2 to determine whether a human body is detected through the human body sensor 25 installed in the room controller 2 (S23), and if no human body is detected. If not, the heating operation according to the outgoing operation mode in order to reduce unnecessary fuel and electricity royalty (S27).

However, when the human body is detected through the human body sensor 25 as described above, it is determined that there is a user or the like in the room. Using the table (see FIG. 5), the heating water control temperature or the indoor control temperature, the hot water control temperature, and the heating time limit are calculated (S24) compared to the current direct water temperature and the outside air temperature.

In this case, the calculated values of the heating water control temperature and the indoor and hot water control temperatures will be described with reference to the tables shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, and the outside air temperature is 10 when the direct water temperature is detected as 15-18 ° C., for example. If the temperature is below -14 ℃, the indoor (set) temperature is calculated as 23 ± 1 ℃, the heating water limit (control) temperature is calculated as 45 ± 3 ℃, and the hot water (set) temperature is calculated as 37 ± 2 ℃. For example, the heating time limit per hour is calculated as 40 minutes of digestion versus 20 minutes of combustion.

In addition, if the outside water temperature is 10 ℃ or more when the direct water temperature is detected, for example, 2 ℃ or less, the indoor (set) temperature is calculated as 23 ± 1 ℃, and the heating water limit (control) temperature is 70 ± 3 ℃. Hot water (set) temperature is calculated as 45 ± 2 ℃, heating time limit per hour is calculated as 45 minutes of digestion compared to 15 minutes of combustion.

Thereafter, the central processing unit 15 in the main controller 1 performs the combustion operation of the boiler based on the heating water control temperature or the indoor control temperature and the hot water control temperature and the heating time limit data calculated above. In the process of performing the combustion operation of the boiler as described above, the central processing unit 15 in the main controller 1 continuously determines whether the temperature of the heating water and the hot water has reached the user's set temperature. If it is not reached (S26), the process returns to the initial stage, and if it has reached, it ends.

As such, the season is judged by detecting the direct water temperature supplied to the boiler, the current outdoor air temperature is determined in the season, and the heating water control temperature or the indoor control temperature, the hot water control temperature, and the heating time limit according to the outdoor air temperature in the season. It is possible to operate the boiler under the optimum conditions by calculating the temperature can be more precisely control the temperature of the heating water supply can not only provide more heating, but also greatly improve the user's convenience.
