Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of control technology, and in particular to a control method, apparatus, equipment and storage medium for heating equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the cold winter, when outdoor temperatures are low, users can use heating equipment to maintain indoor temperatures and seek a comfortable living environment. Currently, the common way to control heating equipment is for users to select a set temperature according to their needs. After the heating equipment is ignited, the indoor temperature is monitored by a thermostat. When the indoor temperature reaches the set temperature, the heating equipment can be shut off. When the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature exceeds a certain value, the heating equipment can be restarted.

[0003] However, when controlling the heating equipment in the above way, it takes a long time for the indoor temperature to adjust to the set temperature after each start-up, which affects the user experience. Other methods that can quickly adjust the indoor temperature consume a lot of energy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a control method, device, equipment, and storage medium for heating equipment. By adjusting the outlet water temperature in a stepped manner, the time required to adjust the indoor temperature to the user-set temperature can be shortened, while energy consumption can be saved.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a control method for a heating device, comprising: upon receiving a start command, monitoring the current indoor temperature; controlling the heating device to operate based on the highest outlet water temperature, and determining a target difference between the current indoor temperature and a user-set temperature every first preset time interval; if the target difference satisfies a first preset condition, controlling the heating device to operate based on the target outlet water temperature, and determining the target difference every second preset time interval; the second preset time interval being less than the first preset time interval; the target outlet water temperature being an outlet water temperature corresponding to the current outdoor temperature of the area where the heating device is located; and if the target difference satisfies a second preset condition, dynamically adjusting the target outlet water temperature based on the target difference, and controlling the heating device to operate based on the dynamically adjusted target outlet water temperature.

[0007] In the technical solution provided in this application, upon receiving a start command, the current indoor temperature can be continuously monitored. Furthermore, the heating equipment can be initially controlled to operate at the highest outlet water temperature, thus quickly reducing the temperature difference between the current indoor temperature and the user-set temperature. During the process of controlling the heating equipment to operate at the highest outlet water temperature, a target difference between the current indoor temperature and the user-set temperature can be determined every first preset time interval. This target difference gradually decreases as the heating equipment runs longer. When the target difference decreases to a certain level, i.e., when the target difference meets the first preset condition, continuing to control the heating equipment to operate at the highest outlet water temperature would result in energy waste. Therefore, when this application determines that the target difference meets the first preset condition, the outlet water temperature can be lowered from the highest outlet water temperature to the target outlet water temperature to save energy. Moreover, since this target outlet water temperature corresponds to the current outdoor temperature of the area where the heating equipment is located, energy savings can be further achieved. Subsequently, during the operation of the heating equipment based on the target outlet water temperature, a target difference can be determined every second preset time interval. When the target difference becomes so small that it is no longer within the user's perception range, i.e., when the target difference meets the second preset condition, the target outlet water temperature can be dynamically adjusted based on the target difference to maintain the current indoor temperature. It can be seen that the technical solution provided in this application, through step-by-step adjustment of the outlet water temperature, can quickly reduce the temperature difference between the current indoor temperature and the user-set temperature, thereby shortening the time required to adjust the indoor temperature to the user-set temperature, thus improving the user experience and saving energy.

[0017] If the temperature rise is determined to be greater than or equal to the first preset value, the target outlet water temperature is adjusted based on the first correction value; if the temperature rise is determined to be less than or equal to the second preset value, the target outlet water temperature is adjusted based on the second correction value and the highest outlet water temperature.

[0018] Optionally, in another possible design, before the above-mentioned "controlling the heating equipment to operate based on the highest outlet water temperature", the control method for the heating equipment provided in this application may further include: determining the highest outlet water temperature based on the equipment identifier of the heating equipment.

[0019] Optionally, in another possible design, after the above-mentioned "start monitoring the current indoor temperature", the control method of the heating equipment provided in this application may further include: determining whether the current difference between the user-set temperature and the current indoor temperature is less than a third preset value.

[0020] If the current difference is determined to be greater than or equal to the third preset value, the heating equipment is controlled to operate based on the highest outlet water temperature;

[0021] If the current difference is determined to be less than the third preset value, the heating equipment is controlled to operate based on the target outlet water temperature.

[0063] Furthermore, the acquisition, storage, use, and processing of data in this application's technical solution all comply with relevant national laws and regulations.

[0064] Currently, the common method for controlling heating equipment involves users selecting a set temperature. After the heating equipment ignites, a thermostat monitors the indoor temperature. When the indoor temperature reaches the set temperature, the heating equipment can be shut off. When the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature exceeds a certain value, the heating equipment can be restarted. However, in this method, the indoor temperature takes a considerable amount of time to adjust to the set temperature after each startup, impacting the user experience. Other methods that allow for rapid temperature adjustment, on the other hand, consume significant amounts of energy.

[0065] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this application provides a control method for a heating device. This method can quickly reduce the temperature difference between the current indoor temperature and the user-set temperature by adjusting the outlet water temperature in a stepwise manner, thereby shortening the time required to adjust the indoor temperature to the user-set temperature and saving energy.

[0066] The heating equipment control method provided in this application embodiment can be executed by a heating equipment control device. This control device can be implemented through software and / or hardware and integrated into the heating equipment control device executing this method. The heating equipment control device can be integrated with the heating equipment; for example, it can be integrated into the boiler. Alternatively, the heating equipment control device can be a device independent of the heating equipment; for example, it can be a boiler thermostat. Of course, in practical applications, the heating equipment control device can be other devices, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0067] The control method for the heating equipment provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0068] Reference Figure 1 The control method for heating equipment provided in this application includes S101-S104:

[0069] S101. Upon receiving the start command, begin monitoring the current indoor temperature.

[0070] In one possible implementation, the heating equipment may be equipped with a start button. When a user needs to use the heating equipment, they can trigger a start command by pressing the start button, or they can send a start command to the control device of the heating equipment by pressing the start button.

[0071] In another possible implementation, the control device of the heating equipment can communicate with a user terminal, which may contain a heating equipment application (APP) for controlling the operation of the heating equipment. While using the heating equipment APP, the user can trigger a start command from the user terminal to the control device by performing a trigger operation on the APP's application interface. For example, the heating equipment APP's application interface may include a start control, which the user can click, long-press, or swipe to trigger the start command.

[0072] The user terminal can be any type of terminal, such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, desktop computer, laptop computer, notebook computer, ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), handheld computer, netbook, personal digital assistant (PDA), wearable electronic device, virtual reality device, etc.

[0073] It is understood that in practical applications, users can also trigger the start command in other ways. This application embodiment does not limit this. For example, users can also trigger the start command through voice commands.

[0074] The control equipment of the heating system may include a temperature sensor for real-time monitoring of the current indoor temperature; or, the control equipment of the heating system may be connected to a temperature sensor to obtain the current indoor temperature monitored by the temperature sensor.

[0075] S102. Control the heating equipment to operate based on the highest outlet water temperature, and start determining the target difference between the current indoor temperature and the user-set temperature every first preset time interval.

[0076] The highest outlet water temperature is the maximum allowable outlet water temperature during the operation of the heating equipment. The first preset duration can be a predetermined duration, such as one hour. The user-set temperature can be a temperature set by the user according to their needs; for example, the user can select the user-set temperature by triggering an operation on the heating equipment's app or by operating the temperature adjustment buttons on the heating equipment. The target difference, which is the temperature difference between the current indoor temperature and the user-set temperature, can be a positive or negative value.

[0077] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, before controlling the heating equipment to operate based on the highest outlet water temperature, the highest outlet water temperature can also be determined based on the equipment identifier of the heating equipment.

[0078] Among them, the equipment identifier for heating equipment can be an identifier used to uniquely identify the type of heating equipment.

[0079] For example, heating equipment can be divided into two categories according to the type of heating equipment it supplies. The first type of heating equipment supplies radiators, and the second type of heating equipment supplies underfloor heating. The maximum outlet water temperature of the first type of heating equipment can be 60℃, and the maximum outlet water temperature of the second type of heating equipment can be 75℃.

[0080] Heating equipment produced by the same manufacturer may come in many types, and the maximum outlet water temperature may differ between different types. In this embodiment, the control device and the heating equipment can be two independent devices, allowing the manufacturer to mass-produce the control device. To ensure the universality of the control device for mass-produced heating equipment, in this embodiment, the control device can also determine the maximum outlet water temperature based on the device identifier before controlling the heating equipment to operate based on the maximum outlet water temperature.

[0081] S103. When the target difference is determined to meet the first preset condition, the heating equipment is controlled to operate based on the target outlet water temperature, and the target difference is determined once every second preset time interval.

[0082] The first preset condition can be a condition predetermined by humans; the target difference meeting the first preset condition is used to characterize that continuing to control the heating equipment to operate based on the highest outlet water temperature would result in energy waste. For example, the first preset condition can be that the target difference is less than or equal to 2℃.

[0083] The target outlet water temperature is the outlet water temperature corresponding to the current outdoor temperature of the area where the heating equipment is located. For example, the current outdoor temperature of the area where the heating equipment is located can be the current outdoor temperature of the city where the heating equipment is located, which can be obtained through the heating equipment's APP.

[0084] The second preset duration can be a predetermined duration that is shorter than the first preset duration. For example, the second preset duration can be 20 minutes.

[0085] Optionally, the control method for heating equipment provided in this application embodiment may further include, before starting to monitor the current indoor temperature, determining a target heating curve from candidate heating curves based on the lowest outdoor temperature of the area where the heating equipment is located; correspondingly, controlling the heating equipment to operate based on the target outlet water temperature may include: determining the target outlet water temperature corresponding to the current outdoor temperature in the target heating curve, and controlling the heating equipment to operate based on the target outlet water temperature.

[0086] Among them, the candidate heating curve is used to characterize the correspondence between outdoor temperature and outlet water temperature, and the outlet water temperature corresponding to the same outdoor temperature is different in each candidate heating curve.

[0087] For example, the lowest outdoor temperature in the area where the heating equipment is located can be the average of the historical lowest outdoor temperatures in the city where the heating equipment is located, and this lowest outdoor temperature can be obtained through the heating equipment's APP.

[0088] Reference Figure 2 This application provides a coordinate diagram illustrating the correspondence between outdoor temperature and outlet water temperature, as shown in the embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the horizontal axis represents the outdoor temperature, and the vertical axis represents the outlet water temperature, both in °C. Figure 2 Nine different candidate heating curves are shown, namely E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, E7, E8 and E9. Each candidate heating curve has a different slope. The larger the slope, the higher the outlet water temperature corresponding to the same outdoor temperature.

[0089] Optionally, determining the target heating curve from the candidate heating curves based on the lowest outdoor temperature of the area where the heating equipment is located may include: determining the candidate outlet water temperature corresponding to the lowest outdoor temperature in each candidate heating curve; and determining the candidate heating curve with the smallest absolute difference between the candidate outlet water temperature and the highest outlet water temperature as the target heating curve.

[0090] For example, if the lowest outdoor temperature in the area where the heating equipment is located is -10℃ and the highest outlet water temperature of the heating equipment is 60℃, then according to... Figure 2 The candidate outlet water temperatures corresponding to -10℃ among the nine candidate heating curves were determined. It can be seen that the absolute difference between the candidate outlet water temperature E6 and 60℃ is the smallest, therefore E6 can be selected as the target heating curve. If the current outdoor temperature is -5℃, then the target outlet water temperature corresponding to -5℃ can be determined to be 55℃ based on E6. The absolute difference is the absolute value of the difference between the candidate outlet water temperature and the highest outlet water temperature.

[0091] This application provides multiple candidate heating curves. When determining the target outlet water temperature of the heating equipment, the target heating curve can be first determined from the multiple candidate heating curves based on the lowest outdoor temperature of the area where the heating equipment is located. Then, the target outlet water temperature is determined based on the target heating curve and the current outdoor temperature. Generally, the lowest outdoor temperature varies in different geographical areas. In this application embodiment, when the lowest outdoor temperature is low, the slope of the determined target heating curve is also low, and the corresponding target outlet water temperature is also low. This allows the indoor temperature increase process in areas with low lowest outdoor temperatures to be relatively gradual, reducing energy consumption.

[0092] Optionally, the control method for the heating equipment provided in this application embodiment may further include: during the process of controlling the heating equipment to operate based on the target outlet water temperature, determining a temperature rise value every fourth preset time interval; if the temperature rise value is determined to be greater than or equal to a first preset value, adjusting the target outlet water temperature based on a first correction value; if the temperature rise value is determined to be less than or equal to a second preset value, adjusting the target outlet water temperature based on the second correction value and the highest outlet water temperature.

[0093] The temperature rise value is the difference between the current indoor temperature and the previous indoor temperature, where the previous indoor temperature is the time preceding the current moment up to the fourth preset duration. The fourth preset duration can be a predetermined duration, such as 1 hour. The first preset value can be a predetermined temperature value, such as 2℃. The second preset value can be a predetermined temperature value, such as 0.5℃. The first correction value can be a predetermined negative temperature value, such as -3℃, meaning that if the original target outlet water temperature is 50℃, the adjusted target outlet water temperature can be 47℃. The second correction value can be a predetermined positive temperature value, such as 3℃, meaning that if the original target outlet water temperature is 50℃, the adjusted target outlet water temperature can be 53℃.

[0094] In practical applications, the energy consumption of the heating equipment is minimized when the temperature rise within a fourth preset time period falls within the range of the second preset value to the first preset value. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the temperature rise is too low, a positive second correction value can be used to adjust the target outlet water temperature so that the temperature rise falls within the range of the second preset value to the first preset value, thereby saving energy. Similarly, when the temperature rise is too high, a negative second correction value can be used to adjust the target outlet water temperature so that the temperature rise falls within the range of the second preset value to the first preset value, thereby saving energy. In addition, to avoid the adjusted target outlet water temperature exceeding the maximum outlet water temperature, the target outlet water temperature should be adjusted in conjunction with the second correction value and the maximum outlet water temperature.

[0095] Optionally, in the control method of the heating equipment provided in the embodiments of this application, after starting to monitor the current indoor temperature, it may further include: determining whether the current difference between the user-set temperature and the current indoor temperature is less than a third preset value; if the current difference is determined to be greater than or equal to the third preset value, controlling the heating equipment to operate based on the highest outlet water temperature; if the current difference is determined to be less than the third preset value, controlling the heating equipment to operate based on the target outlet water temperature.

[0096] The third preset value can be a predetermined temperature value, such as 5℃.

[0097] In practical applications, there may be situations where the difference between the user-set temperature and the current indoor temperature is not significant. In such cases, using a step-by-step adjustment method for the target outlet water temperature may result in energy waste. Therefore, when the current difference between the user-set temperature and the current indoor temperature is less than a third preset value, this embodiment of the application can directly control the heating equipment to operate based on the target outlet water temperature. The current difference is the absolute value of the real-time difference between the user-set temperature and the current indoor temperature.

[0098] S104. When the target difference is determined to meet the second preset condition, the target outlet water temperature is dynamically adjusted based on the target difference, and the heating equipment is controlled to operate based on the dynamically adjusted target outlet water temperature.

[0099] The second preset condition can be a condition predetermined by the user. The target difference meeting the second preset condition is used to characterize the situation; the target difference is so small that it is no longer within the user's perception range. For example, the second preset condition can be that the absolute value of the target difference is less than 0.5℃. For instance, if the current indoor temperature is 23.8℃ and the user sets the temperature to 24℃, the user's perception of 23.8℃ and 24℃ is basically the same. In this case, it can be determined that the target difference meets the second preset condition.

[0100] Optionally, dynamically adjusting the target outlet water temperature based on the target difference may include: determining the target difference once every third preset time interval; if the target difference is determined to meet the third preset condition, then determining the outlet water temperature correction value based on the target difference, and dynamically adjusting the target outlet water temperature based on the outlet water temperature correction value.

[0101] The third preset duration can be a predetermined duration, such as 10 minutes.

[0102] In this embodiment, when the target difference meets the second preset condition, it indicates that the current indoor temperature has been adjusted to the user's desired temperature. At this time, the current indoor temperature can be maintained by dynamically adjusting the target outlet water temperature. Specifically, when the target difference is positive, it indicates that the current indoor temperature is too high, and the target outlet water temperature can be corrected by a negative outlet water temperature correction value. When the target difference is negative, it indicates that the current indoor temperature is too low, and the target outlet water temperature can be corrected by a positive outlet water temperature correction value.

[0103] In summary, the control method for heating equipment provided in this application embodiment can continuously monitor the current indoor temperature upon receiving a start command. Furthermore, it can initially control the heating equipment to operate at the highest outlet water temperature, thus quickly reducing the temperature difference between the current indoor temperature and the user-set temperature. During the process of controlling the heating equipment to operate at the highest outlet water temperature, a target difference between the current indoor temperature and the user-set temperature can be determined every first preset time interval. This target difference gradually decreases as the heating equipment runs longer. When the target difference decreases to a certain level, i.e., when the target difference meets the first preset condition, continuing to control the heating equipment to operate at the highest outlet water temperature would result in energy waste. Therefore, this application embodiment, upon determining that the target difference meets the first preset condition, can lower the outlet water temperature from the highest outlet water temperature to the target outlet water temperature to save energy. Moreover, since the target outlet water temperature corresponds to the current outdoor temperature of the area where the heating equipment is located, energy consumption can be further saved. Subsequently, during the process of controlling the heating equipment to operate based on the target outlet water temperature, a target difference can be determined every second preset time interval. When the target difference becomes so small that it is no longer within the user's perception range, that is, when the target difference meets the second preset condition, the target outlet water temperature can be dynamically adjusted based on the target difference to maintain the current indoor temperature. It can be seen that this embodiment of the application, through step-by-step adjustment of the outlet water temperature, can quickly reduce the temperature difference between the current indoor temperature and the user-set temperature, thereby shortening the time required to adjust the indoor temperature to the user-set temperature, thus improving the user experience and saving energy.

[0104] Optional, such as Figure 3 As shown in the embodiments of this application, a control method for a heating device is also provided, the method comprising S301-S307:
