- The present application is related to, and claims the priority benefit of, U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62/041,975 filed Aug. 26, 2014, the contents of which are hereby incorporated in their entirety into the present disclosure.
- The presently disclosed embodiments generally relate to heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (“HVAC”) systems, and more particularly, to an HVAC controller assembly.
- Home automation systems are continuing to gain traction in the marketplace. Increasingly, HVAC systems are being included in the home automation packages. To accomplish a full automated system, HVAC controllers require a communication module compatible with the automation system.
- In one aspect, an HVAC control mounting assembly is provided. The mounting assembly includes a housing, at least one communication module receptacle disposed in the housing, and at least one antenna operably coupled to a respective communication module receptacle. In one embodiment, the housing is configured to be operably coupled to an HVAC control unit. In one embodiment, the at least one antenna is located on a front side of the mounting assembly. In one embodiment, the at least one antenna is located on a rear side of the mounting assembly. In one embodiment, the at least one antenna is located within a cavity formed on the mounting assembly.
- The mounting assembly further includes a communication module disposed within any of the at least one communication module receptacles. In one embodiment, the communication module is removable.
- In one aspect, an HVAC controller assembly is provided. The HVAC controller assembly includes the mounting assembly and an HVAC control unit operably coupled to the mounting assembly. In one embodiment, the HVAC control unit includes a thermostat. The HVAC control unit is configured to wirelessly communicate and exchange data with at least one remote device.
- The embodiments and other features, advantages and disclosures contained herein, and the manner of attaining them, will become apparent and the present disclosure will be better understood by reference to the following description of various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of an HVAC control mounting assembly; -
FIG. 2 illustrates a perspective view of an HVAC controller assembly; and -
FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of a structure containing the HVAC controller assembly. - For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles of the present disclosure, reference will now be made to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings, and specific language will be used to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of this disclosure is thereby intended.
- Since numerous communication modules and protocols are available in the market, having an HVAC controller capable of communicating with all protocols would increase the overall size to accommodate the different communication modules, and greatly increasing the cost. There is therefore a need for an HVAC controller assembly capable of accommodating the numerous communications protocols without increasing the size and costs of the HVAC controller.

In one embodiment, the at least one antenna 16 is located on arear side 13 of themounting assembly 10. In one embodiment, the at least one antenna 16 is located within acavity 15 formed on themounting assembly 10. For example, as shown inFIG. 1 ,antenna 16A is operably coupled tocommunication module receptacle 14A andantenna 16B is operably coupled tocommunication module receptacle 14B. It will be appreciated that each of the antennas 16 are spaced apart at a suitable distance to avoid noise and other radio interference. - The
mounting assembly 10 further includes a communication module 18 disposed within any of the at least one communication module receptacles 14. In one embodiment, the communication module 18 is removable. For example, as shown inFIG. 1 ,communication module 18A is disposed incommunication module receptacle 14A, andcommunication module 18B is disposed incommunication module receptacle 14B. It will be appreciated that the communication module 18 may be any wireless communication device operable to transmit and receive data to/from a secondary device. The wireless communication device may operate according to protocols such as Z-WAVE® radio, ZIGBEE® radio, Wi-Fi, BLUETOOTH®, radio frequency (RF) radio, etc., to name a few non-limiting examples. -
FIG. 2 illustrates an HVAC controller assembly, generally indicated at 20. TheHVAC controller assembly 20 includes themounting assembly 10 and anHVAC control unit 22 operably coupled to themounting assembly 10. In one embodiment, theHVAC control unit 22 includes a thermostat. As shown inFIG. 3 , theHVAC control unit 22 is configured to operate at least oneHVAC component 24 via a wired or wireless connection. TheHVAC control unit 22 is further configured to wirelessly communicate and exchange data with at least one remote device 26, for example home automation controllers to name one non-limiting example, within astructure 28 via the at least one communication module 18. It will be appreciated that theHVAC control unit 22 may communicate with any remote device 26 having a similar communication module 18 disposed in the communication module receptacles 14. For example, ifdevice 26A is capable of wirelessly communicating via Z-WAVE® radio, a Z-WAVE® communication module 18 is placed incommunication module receptacle 14A of theHVAC control unit 22, and ifdevice 26B is capable of wirelessly communicating via Wi-Fi, a Wi-Fi communication module 18 is placed incommunication module receptacle 14B of theHVAC control unit 22. The use of communication module 18 allows theHVAC control unit 22 to exchange data withdevice 26A and/ordevice 26B to enable control of theHVAC control unit 22 and/or the at least oneHVAC component 24. - It will therefore be appreciated that the present embodiments place at least one communication module receptacles 14 in the HVAC
control mounting assembly 10 to increase the flexibility in communication capabilities of theHVAC control unit 22.
