System for controlling ambient conditions within a given area with automated fluid register

Abstract

A system for controlling temperature within a given area or room by regulating the inflow of heated or cooled air thereto. At least one vent communicates with the area and is positionable in either an open orientation or a closed orientation, thereby respectively facilitating or restricting the flow of conditioned air into the area. A control assembly is operatively associated with the one vent and structured to control its disposition between the open and closed orientations. A temperature sensor is disposed within the area and determines “temperature data” therein. In turn the temperature data is determinative of positioning the vent in either the open or closed orientations. Wireless communication facilities may be associated with the temperature sensor and the control assembly to transmit, by wireless communication, the determined temperature data from the temperature sensor to the control assembly.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0001]The invention relates to systems for controlling and / or maintaining a predetermined, adjustable ambient condition within a given area by regulating the flow of fluid into the area through an automated fluid register. The present embodiment is directed to a system for controlling and / or maintaining a predetermined, adjustable temperature within an area or room by regulating the flow of heated or cooled conditioned air into the area, from a source of conditioned air, through at least one vent. As a result, the source of conditioned air does not have to be directly regulated, such as by being turned on or shut-off.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART[0002]A common problem in multi-roomed and air conditioned buildings is the difficulty of maintaining a uniform temperature throughout the entire building. In, for example, a multi-room dwelling, the air-conditioning unit is located exteriorly of the dwelling, and fluid ducts are disposed thr...

Benefits of technology

[0013]Additional structural and operative features of one or more preferred embodiments of the system of the present invention include the control assembly comprising a servomechanism and a drive structure. As such the servomechanism serves to control activation or deactivation of the drive structure, wherein the drive structure is interconnected in driving relation to the one vent. As such, the cooperative activation and operation of the servomechanism and drive structure serve to dispose the one vent in the aforementioned open or closed

Problems solved by technology

A common problem in multi-roomed and air conditioned buildings is the difficulty of maintaining a uniform temperature throughout the entire building.

In certain circumstances, such wildly deviating temperatures between rooms in a building is undesirable
