Abstract

The invention discloses a solar water heater based on the Internet of Things. The solar water heater comprises a solar water heater body and strong algorithm software, wherein the solar water heater body serves as a thin client running a weak algorithm; a strong algorithm used for controlling the solar water heater body is set on the strong algorithm software; the strong algorithm software can be downloaded to the central control system of a smart home system; and the central control system and the solar water heater body communicate with each other based on the Internet of Things, and are connected with each other in a wireless or wire communication manner. By setting of the strong algorithm, a user can check data from all sensors in the solar water heater on the central control system or a terminal device, so as to change the algorithm strategy as required; and accordingly, the user can precisely control the solar water heater according to the own real situation and use demand, and then the use of the solar water heater can be more flexible and individualized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of home appliances, in particular to a solar water heater based on the Internet of Things technology. Background technique [0002] Solar water heater is a device that converts sunlight energy into heat energy. It heats water from low temperature to high temperature to meet the needs of hot water in people's life and production. At present, it is mainly vacuum tube solar water heaters. Vacuum tube household solar water heaters are It is composed of heat-collecting vacuum tubes, water storage tanks, brackets and other related parts. The conversion of solar energy into heat mainly relies on heat-collecting vacuum tubes. The heat-collecting vacuum tubes use the principle of hot water floating up and cold water sinking to make water microcirculate to achieve the required hot water. . [0003] Household solar water heaters need to operate automatically or semi-automatically. The controller composed of IC electronic compon...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] With the improvement of people's quality of life, people have higher and higher requirements for the functions of solar water heaters, which makes the control algorithm stored in the controller more and more complicated. However, the current control algorithm is set on the solar water heater controller. A reasonable algorithm strategy is set according to the experimental data during production. The user can only control the input parameters, but cannot change the control strategy. Taking the temperature of hot water as an example, the temperature of the solar water heater is collected by the temperature sensors installed in the solar water heater. Calculated by the software algorithm in the solar water heater, the software algorithm includes some correction values, which are set by the manufacturer when leaving the factory. However, as the use time increases, people will feel that the temperature they set is different from the heat generated by the solar water heater. The water temperature is different. This is due to the deviation between the aging sensor and the data collected by the original sensor. The correction value is based on the data collected by the original sensor, and the user cannot change the correction value, that is, the aging sensor cannot be compensated. The error caused by it; if there is an operation interface, the user can modify the correction value to make up for the error caused by the aging sensor, making it more in line with the current actual situation, which will help users get a better experience when using solar water heaters
