Each control strategy is configured with a relationship between operating power and operating time at that operating power. The operating power configured in the control strategy includes the optimal operating power for the current temperature range. The temperature regulating device operates at optimal power in each temperature range to raise the ambient temperature to the set target temperature, thereby maximizing energy savings.

[0077] 5) When T 环 <T 设 And 1℃≤T 设 -T 环 <2℃, the temperature control device operates continuously at 60% of its rated power, and the operating time t5 is recorded, along with the start time t during this period. 50 The ambient temperature at time T 50 The ambient temperature at time t5 is T5.

[0080] When T 环 >T 设 And 5℃≤T 环 -T 设 The temperature control device operates continuously at 100% rated power, and the operating time is recorded as t. 10 The start time t of the operation within this time period 100 The ambient temperature at time T 100 During the run to time t 10 The ambient temperature at time T 10 Of course, the cooling process may also include control logic for other temperature ranges, which can be set according to actual needs, and will not be listed here.

[0081] In some embodiments, when the difference between the current ambient temperature value and the target temperature value is within a preset temperature difference range, the average heat loss value is determined.

[0082] Set the current operating power of the temperature control device to the average heat loss value.

[0083] In some embodiments, the average heat loss value is determined by the following formula:

[0092] Determine the heat loss for each operating phase, and then determine the average heat loss Q for all phases using the following formula. 损 :

[0093] When T 环 =T 设 Then, the average heat loss value is fed back to the central processing unit, which then precisely controls the heating unit, for example, by setting the operating power of the temperature control unit to Q. 损 This ensures that the output power of the temperature control device is balanced with heat loss to achieve energy saving and ensures that the target temperature value set by the user fluctuates within the allowable error range.

The operating state may include the current operating power and / or the operating time at the current operating power.

[0097] In some embodiments, it also includes:

[0098] The maximum volume of the temperature regulation space is determined based on the maximum rated power of the temperature regulation device.

[0099] If the maximum space volume value is less than the space volume value, a reminder message will be issued.

[0100] Optionally, the maximum space value of the usage location can be calculated based on the maximum rated power that the temperature regulating device can output, and the upper limit of the usage location space value can be preset in the system logic. This is to prevent the electric heater from being unable to meet the ambient temperature rise requirements even when the space is too large, so as to promptly remind the user of the heating effect or directly prohibit the user from turning on the electric heater, thus avoiding unnecessary energy waste.

[0101] An optional formula for calculating the maximum space value of a usage location includes:

[0102]

[0103] In the above formula, V is the maximum spatial volume value, and P 额 ρ is the rated power of the temperature control device, c is the specific heat capacity of air, and ρ is the air density.

[0104] In some embodiments, it also includes:

[0105] Obtain the current operating power and / or the operating time at the current operating power of the temperature control device;

[0106] The current operating power and / or the operating time are sent to the server so that the server can monitor the current operating status of the temperature regulation device.

[0107] In some embodiments, it also includes:

[0108] The current operating power and / or operating time of the temperature regulating device under the current operating power are adjusted according to the current control strategy.

[0110] Optionally, the temperature acquisition device / module can acquire the ambient temperature in real time, and feed it back to the central processing unit module in real time according to the changes in the ambient temperature. The central processing unit will then process and calculate the data, compare it with the initial operating curve in real time, and provide feedback and compensation based on the deviation value of the comparison result.

[0111] Optionally, the ambient temperature rise trend of the temperature-controlled space can be referenced. Figure 2 , Figure 2 This application provides an embodiment of an environmental temperature rise trend diagram under a certain working condition.

[0117] Optionally, the preset optimization process includes: referencing the configured operating power and / or the operating time at the operating power, and optimizing the operating state of the temperature regulating device based on the current operating state of the temperature regulating device (including the current operating power and / or the operating time at the current operating power) and the temperature rise of the temperature regulating space, so as to obtain an optimized control strategy.

[0118] Optionally, the central processing unit can record the operating state intelligently selected by the temperature control device after each set of operating parameters, and intelligently analyze the configured operating power and / or the running time under the operating power, the current operating power and / or the running time under the current operating power. It can also feed back the data and analysis results of the operation process to the server.
