Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail so that those of ordinary skill in the art can easily carry out the present invention. The present invention may be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. In order to clearly explain the present invention in the drawings, parts irrelevant to the description are omitted, and the same reference numerals are given to the same or similar components throughout the specification.

Hereinafter, a heating management system through flow control according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 .

Referring to FIG. 1 , a heating management system 100 (hereinafter referred to as a heating management system for convenience) through flow control according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed in a residential space 110 to supply and return circulating water for heating and cooling. It is formed to manage heating by controlling the flow rate of circulating water connected to the pipe to be supplied and returned.

The heating management system 100 measures the temperature of the circulating water (A) supplied through the circulation pipe to the residential space 110 in the first temperature measuring unit 120a, and is returned to the circulation pipe in the residential space 110 . The temperature of the circulating water (B) is measured by the second temperature measuring unit (120b), and the flow rate is controlled through the flow control valve module 130 for controlling the supply flow rate of the circulating water (A) to control the amount of heating heat. and may include environmental information measurement modules 140a and 140b for acquiring environmental information from the inside and outside of the living space 110, respectively.

Here, as shown in FIG. 1b , the first temperature measurement module 120a , the second temperature measurement module 120b , the flow control valve module 130 , and the environment information measurement module 140 include the data measurement unit 200 . For example, the data measurement unit 200 may be connected to the measurement data processing unit 300 to transmit measurement data to the measurement data processing unit 300 .

2 is a block diagram of the data measuring unit 200 of the present invention. The data measuring unit 200 is configured to acquire environmental information including heating information, which is heating-related information, and information on the inside and outside of the residential space 110 . To this end, the data measurement unit 200 includes a first temperature measurement module 120a, a second temperature measurement module 120b, a flow control valve module 130 and an environment information measurement module ( 140) is formed.

The first temperature measurement module 120a is formed on the supply side of the circulation pipe and is formed to measure a first temperature that is the inflow temperature of the circulating water into the residential space 110 .

The second temperature measurement module 120b is formed on the drain side of the circulation pipe and is formed to measure the second temperature, which is the return temperature of the circulating water that has passed through the residential space 110 .

The flow control valve module 130 is formed between the first temperature measurement module 120a and the second temperature measurement module 120b, and is configured to control the flow rate of the circulating water and obtain a passing flow rate. The flow control valve module 130 may be, for example, a complex valve for proportional control.

Composite valve refers to a valve capable of proportional control that can control the flow rate through the valve as needed without changing the flow rate according to the differential pressure between the valve upstream and downstream. Since the conventional open/close valve controls heating only by supplying or stopping circulating water, there is a problem in that it is difficult to supply a constant amount of heat to the inside of the residential space 110 . However, the composite valve used in the present invention has a configuration that can continuously supply a desired amount of flow to a space requiring heating because the user can control the degree of opening of the valve.

In addition, the degree of opening of the compound valve may be controlled through, for example, a voltage applied to the compound valve. That is, since the compound valve has an opening degree corresponding to preset reference voltages, and when a voltage is applied, the compound valve can open the valve with an opening degree corresponding to the applied voltage, so a sensor that directly measures the flow rate Even if it is not included, it is possible to obtain a through-flow rate.

Here, it has been described that the composite valve included in the flow control valve module may be controlled through a voltage for convenience of description, but the present invention is not limited thereto and various preset variable factors may be used.

The environmental information measurement module 140 is configured to acquire the internal environment and the external environment of the residential space 110 . The environmental information measurement module 140 may acquire any one of the internal temperature, humidity, design insulation degree, window opening/closing state, and heating time of the residential space 110 as the internal environment. In addition, the environment information measurement module 140 may acquire any one of the external temperature, humidity, and weather of the residential space 110 as the external environment.

The data measurement unit 200 generates measurement data including the first temperature, the second temperature, the passing flow rate and the environment information obtained from each of the four modules, and transmits the generated measurement data to the measurement data processing unit 300 to be described later. transmit

The measurement data processing unit 300 is configured to obtain measurement data from the data measurement unit 200 , and analyze and process the obtained measurement data to measure the amount of heat used for heating. For this purpose, the measurement data processing unit 300 includes a measurement data acquisition module 310 , a heat quantity calculation module 320 , a heating learning module 330 , an abnormal state determination module 340 , and flow control information as shown in FIG. 3 . It may be formed to include the generating module 350 .

The measurement data acquisition module 310 is configured to acquire measurement data including heating information and environment information from the data measurement unit 200 .

The amount of heat used calculation module 320 is configured to obtain the amount of heat used for heating through calculation of heating information. The amount of heat used is the amount of heat used for heating and may be obtained using Equation 1 below.

Equation 1

: 제2온도)(here,

: Calorie used per unit time,

: Volumetric flow rate through the valve per unit time,

: static specific heat of circulating water,

: first temperature,

: 2nd temperature)

Equation 1 is an equation for obtaining the amount of heat used per unit time. The calorific value calculation module 320 obtains the passing flow rate, the first temperature, and the second temperature obtained from the flow control valve module 130 to obtain the amount of heat used for heating, and obtains the static specific heat of the pre-stored circulating water. get more Thereafter, the heat consumption calculation module 320 may obtain the amount of heat used per unit time by substituting the obtained value into Equation 1 above.

In addition, the amount of heat used calculating module 320 may calculate the amount of heat used by using an integrated value generated by obtaining the heating time included in the measured data from the measured data obtaining module 310 . The amount of heat used calculating module 320 may obtain the total amount of heat used for heating by multiplying the amount of heat used per unit time obtained using Equation 1 by the heating time.

Furthermore, the amount of heat calculation module 320 may further acquire a measured heat amount, which is the amount of heat used to increase the indoor temperature by 1 degree. In this case, the measured heat quantity may include not only the amount of heat used but also environmental information in the corresponding situation.

The heating learning module 330 is formed to learn the relationship between the amount of heat used and the environmental information. The heating learning module 330 may be formed to determine the heating abnormal state in the abnormal state determination module 340 to be described later by checking and learning the change in the amount of heat used according to the environmental information.

The heating learning module 330 may acquire the internal temperature and the external temperature of the residential space 110 from the environmental information, learn heating efficiency according to the difference between the two temperatures, and obtain it as learning efficiency. In the present invention, heating efficiency is defined as the amount of heat used to increase the internal temperature by 1 degree. Heating efficiency generally depends not only on the difference between the internal temperature and the external temperature, but also on the absolute value of the internal temperature. Accordingly, the heating learning module 330 may use various factors to acquire and learn heating efficiency.

As described above, the heating learning module 330 may use the internal temperature and the external temperature as a main factor in the process of learning heating efficiency by acquiring the internal temperature and the external temperature. In addition, the heating learning module 330 may increase the accuracy of learning efficiency by using humidity, weather, heating time, insulation efficiency of a residential space, etc. as sub factors among environmental information.

The abnormal state determination module 340 is formed to determine the abnormal state of heating. Abnormal state determination module 340 obtains an abnormal state in the heating device that directly affects heating, such as the temperature of the circulating water, the state of the circulation pipe, and the failure of the flow control valve module 130 to generate device abnormal information. can In addition, the abnormal state determination module 340 may generate environmental abnormality information that is an abnormal state of the sealing degree or the thermal insulation degree of the living space 110 .

The device abnormality information includes information that an abnormal state of the heating device is suspected, and the environmental abnormality information includes information that thermal energy is leaked to the outside because the heating space is not sufficiently sealed.

The abnormal state determination module 340 receives learning efficiency from the heating learning module 330 to generate device abnormal information and environmental abnormal information. As described above, the learning efficiency includes heating efficiency in various environmental conditions within the corresponding residential space 110 as a combination of the main factor and the sub-factor.

Here, when the learning efficiency corresponding to the environmental information included in the measurement data is different from the actually used measurement efficiency, the abnormal state determination module 340 may determine that heating is not performed efficiently. Accordingly, the abnormal state determination module 340 may determine which of the measurement efficiency and the learning efficiency is better and determine the abnormal state.

When the measurement efficiency is better than the learning efficiency, there may be an error in the measurement value or an excessive amount of heat is supplied. Therefore, in this case, the abnormal state determination module 340 does not properly control the flow rate using the flow rate control valve module 130, or the measured value of the first temperature measurement module 120a or the second temperature measurement module 120b. Since there is a possibility that an error has occurred, it is possible to generate device anomaly information.

In addition, when the measurement efficiency is worse than the learning efficiency, it may be a case in which a factor reducing the internal temperature exists, such as an open window of a heating space or an operation of an air conditioner. Therefore, in this case, the abnormal state determination module 340 may determine that the sealing of the heating space is not sufficiently performed and may generate environmental abnormality information.

The flow control information generation module 350 is formed to generate flow control information capable of adjusting the flow rate of the circulating water. The flow control information is transmitted to the flow control valve module 130 to control the flow rate passing through the circulating water, and it is possible to perform proportional control of the flow control valve module 130 .

Meanwhile, in an embodiment of the present invention, the flow control information generating module 350 may generate different flow control information according to an externally input mode. The mode input from the outside may be a manual mode or an automatic mode.

The manual mode is a mode configured to supply a flow rate corresponding to a value arbitrarily set by a user from the outside. The flow control information generating module 350 generates flow control information to open the flow control valve until the set temperature value is reached or during the heating time when the user selects the manual mode by setting a specific temperature value or heating time do.

The automatic mode is a mode configured to supply a flow rate according to a preset condition or a learning result. When the user selects an automatic mode, the flow control information generating module 350 generates flow control information capable of adjusting the opening/closing degree, opening/closing time, etc. of the flow control valve to satisfy preset conditions in the automatic mode. In addition, the flow control information generation module 350 may generate flow control information to supply a flow rate by using a learning result of learning a user's heating pattern rather than a preset condition.

In addition to heating efficiency, the heating learning module 330 may generate learned heating information by using a plurality of factors such as heating temperature, period, time, and environmental information. The learned heating information may be used to predict the user's heating pattern, and when the user automatically sets the heating mode, the flow control information generating module 350 receives the learned heating information and receives the learned heating information to determine the flow rate according to the user's heating pattern. It is also possible to generate flow control information capable of controlling the control valve module 130 .

Meanwhile, a heating management method using the heating management system of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 . 4 is a flowchart illustrating a heating management method using flow rate control according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating in more detail the step of obtaining heating information and environmental information of FIG. 4 , and FIG. It is a flowchart showing in more detail the step of calculating the amount of heat used for heating.

Referring to FIG. 4 , the heating management method 400 using flow control using the heating management system of the present invention includes a step of obtaining heating information and environmental information (S410) and heating information and environmental information used for heating. It may include calculating the amount of heat used (S420).

First, the present invention obtains heating information and environmental information using a heating management system (step S410). To this end, as shown in FIG. 5, step S410 is a step of measuring a first temperature that is the inlet temperature of circulating water (S411), a step of measuring a second temperature that is a return temperature of circulating water (S412), and the passage of circulating water. It may include a step (S413) of obtaining a flow rate and a step (S414) of measuring internal information and external information of the residential space.

In step S411, a first temperature that is an inflow temperature of the circulating water is measured. Step S411 may measure a first temperature, which is an inflow temperature of the circulating water into the residential space.

In step S412, a second temperature that is a return temperature of the circulating water that has passed through the residential space may be measured.

In step S413, the flow rate of the circulating water may be adjusted and a passing flow rate may be obtained. For this, step S413 may use a compound valve for proportional control, for example. Composite valve refers to a valve capable of proportional control that can control the flow rate through the valve as needed without changing the flow rate according to the differential pressure between the valve upstream and downstream. Since the conventional open/close valve controls heating only by supplying or stopping circulating water, there is a problem in that it is difficult to supply a constant amount of heat to the interior of the residential space. However, the composite valve used in the present invention has a configuration that can continuously supply a desired amount of flow to a space requiring heating because the user can control the degree of opening of the valve.

In addition, the degree of opening of the compound valve may be controlled through, for example, a voltage applied to the compound valve. That is, since the compound valve has an opening degree corresponding to preset reference voltages, and when a voltage is applied, the compound valve can open the valve with an opening degree corresponding to the applied voltage, so a sensor that directly measures the flow rate Even if it is not included, it is possible to obtain a through-flow rate.

Here, it has been described that the composite valve included in the flow control valve module may be controlled through a voltage for convenience of description, but the present invention is not limited thereto and various preset variable factors may be used.

Finally, in step S414, internal information and external information of the residential space are measured. In step S414, any one of the internal temperature, humidity, design insulation degree, window opening/closing state, and heating time of the residential space may be acquired as the internal environment. In addition, any one of external temperature, humidity, and weather of the residential space may be acquired as the external environment.

When heating information and environmental information are obtained by using step S410, the heating management method 400 using flow control of the present invention is next to step S420, calculating the amount of heat used for heating using the heating information and environmental information. Follow the steps. Here, the heating information may include the first temperature, the second temperature, and the flow rate obtained in steps S411 to S413, and the environment information may include the internal environment and the external environment obtained in step S414.

In step S420, the amount of heat used for heating is calculated using the heating information and the environment information obtained in step S410. To this end, step S420 is a step of obtaining the amount of heat used for heating through calculation of heating information (S421), a step of learning the relationship between the amount of heat used and environmental information to obtain learning efficiency (S422), and determining an abnormal state of heating and generating flow control information, which is information for controlling the flow rate (S424).

In step S421, the amount of heat used for heating is calculated by receiving the heating information and environmental information measured in step S410. In step S421, the amount of heat used for heating may be obtained through calculation of heating information. The amount of heat used is the amount of heat used for heating, and may be obtained using Equation 2 below.

Equation 2

: 제2온도)(here,

: Calorie used per unit time,

: Volumetric flow rate through the valve per unit time,

: static specific heat of circulating water,

: first temperature,

: 2nd temperature)

Equation 2 is an equation for obtaining the amount of heat used per unit time. In step S421, the first temperature obtained in step S411, the second temperature obtained in step S412, and the flow rate obtained in step S413 are obtained to obtain the amount of heat used for heating, and the static specific heat of the pre-stored circulating water is obtained. get more Thereafter, in step S421, the amount of heat used per unit time may be obtained by substituting the obtained value into Equation 2 above.

In addition, in step S421, the heating time may be further obtained from step S414 to calculate the amount of heat used. In step S421, the total amount of heat used for heating may be obtained by multiplying the amount of heat used per unit time obtained using Equation 2 by the heating time.

Furthermore, step S421 may further acquire a measured heat amount, which is a heat amount used to increase the room temperature by 1 degree. In this case, the measured heat quantity may include not only the amount of heat used but also environmental information in the corresponding situation.

Next, in step S422, learning efficiency is obtained by learning the relationship between the amount of heat used and the environmental information. Step S422 is formed to learn the relationship between the amount of heat used and the environmental information. Step S422 may be configured to determine a heating abnormality state in step S423 to be described later by checking and learning a change in the amount of heat used according to the environmental information.

Step S422 acquires the internal temperature and the external temperature of the residential space from the environmental information, learns the heating efficiency according to the difference between the two temperatures, and acquires it as the learning efficiency. In the present invention, heating efficiency is defined as the amount of heat used to increase the internal temperature by 1 degree. Heating efficiency generally depends not only on the difference between the internal temperature and the external temperature, but also on the absolute value of the internal temperature. Therefore, in order to acquire and learn heating efficiency, step S422 may use various factors.

As described above, in step S422, the internal temperature and the external temperature may be used as main factors in the process of learning heating efficiency by acquiring the internal temperature and the external temperature. In addition, in step S422, the accuracy of learning efficiency may be increased by using humidity, weather, heating time, insulation efficiency of a residential space, etc. as sub factors among environmental information.

Next, step S423 determines the abnormal state of heating. Step S423 is formed to determine an abnormal state of heating. Step S423 may generate device abnormality information by acquiring an abnormal state in the heating device that directly affects heating, such as the temperature of the circulating water, the state of the circulation pipe, and the failure of the flow control valve module. In addition, step S423 may generate environmental abnormality information that is an abnormal state of the sealing degree or the thermal insulation degree of the living space.

The device abnormality information includes information that an abnormal state of the heating device is suspected, and the environmental abnormality information includes information that thermal energy is leaked to the outside because the heating space is not sufficiently sealed.

In step S423, learning efficiency is transferred from step S422 to generate device abnormality information and environmental abnormality information. As described above, the learning efficiency includes heating efficiency in various environmental conditions within the corresponding residential space as a combination of the main factor and the sub-factor.

Here, when the learning efficiency corresponding to the environmental information included in the measurement data is different from the actually used measurement efficiency, in step S423 it may be determined that the heating is not performed efficiently. Accordingly, in step S423, it is possible to determine which of the measurement efficiency and the learning efficiency is better and determine the abnormal state.

When the measurement efficiency is better than the learning efficiency, there may be an error in the measurement value or an excessive amount of heat is supplied. Therefore, in this case, in step S423, there is a possibility that the flow rate control using the flow control valve module is not properly performed or an error has occurred in the measured value obtained in step S411 or S412. Therefore, device abnormality information may be generated.

In addition, when the measurement efficiency is worse than the learning efficiency, it may be a case in which a factor reducing the internal temperature exists, such as an open window of a heating space or an operation of an air conditioner. Therefore, in this case, in step S423, it is determined that the sealing of the heating space using the circulating water is not sufficiently performed, and environmental abnormality information may be generated.

Finally, in step S424, it is possible to generate flow control information for controlling the flow rate of the circulating water passing through. The flow control information is transmitted to the flow control valve module to adjust the flow rate passing through the circulating water, and to perform proportional control of the flow control valve module.

Meanwhile, in an embodiment of the present invention, step S424 may generate different flow control information according to a mode input from the outside. The mode input from the outside may be a manual mode or an automatic mode.

The manual mode is a mode configured to supply a flow rate corresponding to a value arbitrarily set by a user from the outside. In step S424, when the user selects the manual mode by setting a specific temperature value or heating time, the flow control information is generated to open the flow control valve until the set temperature value is reached or during the heating time.

The automatic mode is a mode configured to supply a flow rate according to a preset condition or a learning result. In step S424, when the user selects the automatic mode, flow control information is generated that can adjust the opening/closing degree and the opening/closing time of the flow control valve to satisfy the conditions set in the automatic mode. In addition, in step S424, the flow rate control information may be generated to supply the flow rate by using the learning result of learning the user's heating pattern rather than the preset condition.

In step S442, in addition to heating efficiency, the learned heating information may be generated using a plurality of factors such as heating temperature, period, time, and environmental information. The learned heating information may be used to predict the user's heating pattern, and when the user automatically sets the heating mode, step S424 receives the learned heating information to control the flow control valve module according to the user's heating pattern. It is also possible to generate flow control information that can be used.
