Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fluorinated underfloor heating, and more particularly to a control system and control method for fluorinated underfloor heating, as well as electronic equipment thereof. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, they have higher requirements for room heating. Underfloor heating, with its advantages over ordinary air conditioning, has become widely used in home heating. Underfloor heating is generally divided into "water-based underfloor heating" and "fluorinated underfloor heating."

[0003] In the emerging "fluorinated underfloor heating" technology, the control of fluorinated underfloor heating can only be done through a dedicated wired controller. When users want to adjust the underfloor heating temperature of a certain room, they also need to set it on the dedicated wired controller, which is very inconvenient to use.

[0004] To solve the above problems, multiple refrigerant-based underfloor heating controllers can be installed in different rooms. However, room temperature can be adjusted not only through the refrigerant-based underfloor heating system but also through the air conditioner. If the user wants to adjust the room temperature simultaneously through both the refrigerant-based underfloor heating and the air conditioner, separate settings need to be made on the refrigerant-based underfloor heating controller and the air conditioner controller, which is very cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a control system and control method for fluorinated underfloor heating, as well as electronic equipment, to at least solve the technical problem that it is inconvenient to adjust the temperature through a fluorinated underfloor heating wired controller.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a control system for fluorinated underfloor heating, characterized in that the control system for fluorinated underfloor heating is located in the same communication network as the control system of an air conditioner, and the control system for fluorinated underfloor heating includes a fluorinated underfloor heating controller and at least one flow control valve, wherein:

[0007] One flow control valve is installed on a fluorinated underfloor heating branch, and different fluorinated underfloor heating branches are laid in different heating areas. Each flow control valve is connected to the fluorinated underfloor heating controller. The flow control valve is used to control the real-time flow of the fluorinated underfloor heating branch where the flow control valve is located.

[0008] The fluorinated underfloor heating controller is interconnected with the air conditioner controller in the air conditioner's control system. The fluorinated underfloor heating controller is used to control the flow control valve based on fluorinated underfloor heating control commands. The fluorinated underfloor heating control commands are input through the air conditioner wired controller connected to the air conditioner controller and transmitted to the fluorinated underfloor heating controller via the communication network.

[0009] In one feasible embodiment of this application, the fluorinated underfloor heating controller includes a virtual transfer module, wherein:

[0010] The virtual transfer module is used to generate virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controllers. The number of virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controllers is the same as the number of flow control valves. One virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller is associated with one flow control valve. One virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller is also associated with one air conditioner controller. The virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller is used to control the currently associated flow control valve according to the fluorinated underfloor heating control command transmitted by the air conditioner controller through the communication network.

[0011] In one feasible embodiment of this application, the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller is used to calculate the current opening value according to the fluorinated underfloor heating control command, and control the opening value of the associated flow control valve according to the current opening value.

[0012] In one feasible embodiment of this application, the fluorinated underfloor heating controller further includes an air conditioner association module, wherein:

[0013] The air conditioner association module is used to obtain the identity identifier of the air conditioner controller and associate the virtual refrigerant floor heating controller with the corresponding air conditioner controller based on the identity identifier; wherein, the identity identifier describes the heating zone of the air conditioner controller.

[0014] In one feasible embodiment of this application, the air conditioner association module is used to determine the heating zone of the refrigerant underfloor heating branch where the flow control valve is located, determine the heating zone controlled by the air conditioner according to the identity of the air conditioner controller, and associate the air conditioner controllers with the same heating zone and the virtual refrigerant underfloor heating controller corresponding to the flow control valve.

[0015] In one possible embodiment of this application, the identity identifier is one or more of an IP address, a project address, or a MAC address.

[0016] Secondly, this application provides a control method for fluorinated underfloor heating, the control method being applied to the control system of fluorinated underfloor heating described in any of the embodiments of the first aspect above, the control method comprising:

[0017] At least one virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller is generated; wherein the number of virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controllers is the same as the number of flow control valves, and one virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller is associated with one flow control valve;

[0018] Associate the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller with the corresponding air conditioner controller;

[0019] When the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller receives a fluorinated underfloor heating control command through the communication network, it controls the flow control valve associated with the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller according to the fluorinated underfloor heating control command; wherein, the fluorinated underfloor heating control command is input through the air conditioner wired controller connected to the currently associated air conditioner controller.

[0020] In one feasible embodiment of this application, controlling the flow control valve associated with the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller according to the fluorinated underfloor heating control command includes:

[0021] The current opening value of the flow control valve is calculated based on the fluorinated underfloor heating control command;

[0022] The opening value of the flow control valve associated with the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller is controlled according to the current opening value.

[0023] In one feasible embodiment of this application, associating the virtual refrigerant-based underfloor heating controller with a corresponding air conditioner controller includes:

[0024] Determine the heating zone of the fluorinated underfloor heating branch where the currently associated flow control valve is located;

[0025] The heating zone where the air conditioner controller is located is determined based on the identity identifier of the air conditioner controller;

[0026] Associate the air conditioner controllers of the same heating area and the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controllers corresponding to the flow control valves.

[0027] Thirdly, this application provides an electronic device for performing the control method for fluorinated underfloor heating as described in any of the embodiments of the second aspect above.

[0028] The technical solutions provided in this application have the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0029] In the technical solution provided in this application embodiment, the control system of the fluorinated underfloor heating and the control system of the air conditioner are in the same communication network. The control system of the fluorinated underfloor heating includes a fluorinated underfloor heating controller and at least one flow control valve, wherein: one flow control valve is set on a fluorinated underfloor heating branch, and different fluorinated underfloor heating branches are laid in different heating areas. Each flow control valve is connected to the fluorinated underfloor heating controller, and the flow control valve is used to control the real-time flow of the fluorinated underfloor heating branch where the flow control valve is located; the fluorinated underfloor heating controller is interconnected with the air conditioner controller in the air conditioner control system, and the fluorinated underfloor heating controller is used to control the flow control valve based on the fluorinated underfloor heating control command; wherein, the fluorinated underfloor heating control command is input through the air conditioner wired controller connected to the air conditioner controller and transmitted to the fluorinated underfloor heating controller based on the communication network.

[0030] As can be seen, when a user wishes to adjust the temperature of each heating zone, they only need to input the refrigerant-based underfloor heating control command through the air conditioner's wired controller. This command is transmitted via a communication network to the refrigerant-based underfloor heating controller, which then acts on the flow control valve on the refrigerant-based underfloor heating branch in that heating zone, thereby adjusting the temperature of the refrigerant-based underfloor heating in that zone. With the technical solution provided in this application, users do not need to sequentially use the air conditioner's wired controller and the refrigerant-based underfloor heating controller to adjust the temperature of the heating zone, making it more convenient.

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this application. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0040] To address the technical problem of the inconvenience of adjusting the temperature through a fluorinated underfloor heating wired controller, this application provides a control system, control method, and electronic equipment for fluorinated underfloor heating, which can conveniently achieve simultaneous control of the room's air conditioner and fluorinated underfloor heating.

[0041] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the control system for an air conditioner and fluorinated underfloor heating in the prior art, with reference to... Figure 1 This will further explain the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0042] In the existing technology, the control system of the air conditioner and the control system of the refrigerant underfloor heating are independent of each other. In any heating zone, the air conditioner in that heating zone is controlled by the air conditioner wired controller. When the user inputs the corresponding control command on the air conditioner wired controller, the air conditioner performs the corresponding action according to the control command, such as heating, cooling, switching modes, etc.

[0043] Fluorine underfloor heating covers multiple heating zones. Of course, different fluorine underfloor heating branches can be laid in different heating zones. When a user wants to control the fluorine underfloor heating in a certain heating zone, the corresponding control command needs to be entered into the fluorine underfloor heating wired controller installed in that heating zone. The fluorine underfloor heating wired controller transmits the control command to the fluorine underfloor heating controller, which controls the flow control valve indicated by the control command, thereby controlling a certain fluorine underfloor heating branch.

[0044] In some specific scenarios, if a user wants to control both the underfloor heating and air conditioning in a specific heating zone simultaneously, the user needs to first configure the air conditioner on the air conditioner's wired controller in that zone, and then configure the underfloor heating on the underfloor heating controller in the same zone. Clearly, this setup method is inconvenient.

[0045] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a control system for a fluorinated underfloor heating system provided in an embodiment of this application, with reference to... Figure 2 This application provides a control system for fluorinated underfloor heating. The control system is located on the same communication network as the air conditioner's control system. The control system includes a fluorinated underfloor heating controller and at least one flow control valve, wherein:

[0046] A flow control valve is installed on one of the fluorinated underfloor heating branches. Different fluorinated underfloor heating branches are laid in different heating areas. Each flow control valve is connected to the fluorinated underfloor heating controller. The flow control valve is used to control the real-time flow of the fluorinated underfloor heating branch where the flow control valve is located.

[0047] The fluorinated underfloor heating controller is interconnected with the air conditioner controller in the air conditioner's control system. The fluorinated underfloor heating controller is used to control the flow control valve based on fluorinated underfloor heating control commands. The fluorinated underfloor heating control commands are input through the air conditioner wired controller connected to the air conditioner controller and transmitted to the fluorinated underfloor heating controller via a communication network.

[0048] Specifically, the control system for fluorinated underfloor heating provided in this application is located on the same communication network as the control system of an air conditioner. Based on this communication network, the air conditioner controller and the fluorinated underfloor heating controller can interact and coordinate. The control system for fluorinated underfloor heating provided in this application includes a fluorinated underfloor heating controller and at least one flow control valve.

[0049] A flow control valve is installed on one branch of the fluorinated underfloor heating system. Different branches are laid in different heating zones. Each flow control valve is connected to the fluorinated underfloor heating controller. In some practical scenarios, one branch can be laid in a single room. The flow control valve controls the real-time flow rate of its assigned branch, effectively controlling the temperature of the fluorinated underfloor heating system within the heating zone.

[0050] In one feasible embodiment of this application, the flow control valve may specifically be an electronic expansion valve. The flow control valve and the fluorinated underfloor heating controller may be physically connected via a line or virtually connected via a network.

[0051] The refrigerant-based underfloor heating controller and the air conditioner controller in the air conditioner's control system are interconnected via a communication network. The refrigerant-based underfloor heating controller controls the flow control valve through refrigerant-based underfloor heating control commands, which are actual commands input by the user. The user inputs the refrigerant-based underfloor heating control commands through the air conditioner's wired controller in the air conditioner's control system. The air conditioner's wired controller transmits the refrigerant-based underfloor heating control commands to the air conditioner controller, and the air conditioner controller transmits the refrigerant-based underfloor heating control commands to the refrigerant-based underfloor heating controller through the communication network.

[0052] In one feasible embodiment of this application, the communication network can be a single-layer communication network or a multi-layer communication network.

[0053] In one feasible embodiment of this application, the air conditioner and the fluorinated underfloor heating system can share the same refrigerant system or use different refrigerant systems. Whether or not the air conditioner and the fluorinated underfloor heating system use the same refrigerant system, it has no impact on the implementation of the technical solution provided in this application.

[0054] Figure 3 This application provides another schematic diagram of a control system for fluorinated underfloor heating, as illustrated in the embodiments of the present application. Figure 3 This application describes the specific linkage method between the control system of a fluorinated underfloor heating system and the control system of an air conditioner, as well as the specific control method of the fluorinated underfloor heating system.

[0055] In one feasible embodiment of this application, the fluorinated underfloor heating controller includes a virtual transfer module, wherein:

[0056] The virtual transfer module is used to generate virtual refrigerant floor heating controllers. The number of virtual refrigerant floor heating controllers is the same as the number of flow control valves. One virtual refrigerant floor heating controller is associated with one flow control valve. One virtual refrigerant floor heating controller is also associated with one air conditioner controller. The virtual refrigerant floor heating controller is used to control the currently associated flow control valve according to the refrigerant floor heating control commands transmitted by the air conditioner controller through the communication network.

[0057] Specifically, the fluorinated underfloor heating controller includes a virtual transfer module, which can generate a virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller, and the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller can actually control the flow control valve. In the technical solution provided in this application, the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller can actually be regarded as a control program in the fluorinated underfloor heating controller. It does not have a specific hardware device, but runs in the form of a program or code in the fluorinated underfloor heating controller.

[0058] A virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller is associated with a flow control valve and an air conditioner controller. Based on this, a correspondence is established between the air conditioner controller in any heating zone, the fluorinated underfloor heating branch in that heating zone, and the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller, forming a control chain for the air conditioner and fluorinated underfloor heating in a certain heating zone.

[0059] By generating a virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller to control the flow control valve, there is no need to set up corresponding hardware facilities to achieve specific control of the flow control valve, which saves costs and facilitates subsequent maintenance.

[0060] In a feasible embodiment of the present application, the control of the flow control valve is actually achieved by controlling the opening degree of the flow control valve. When the virtual fluorine floor heating controller receives the fluorine floor heating control instruction from the associated air conditioner controller, it calculates the current opening degree value according to the fluorine floor heating control instruction, and controls the opening degree value of the associated flow control valve according to the current opening degree value.

[0061] In a feasible embodiment of the present application, calculating the current opening degree value according to the fluorine floor heating control instruction can be achieved through a preset opening degree value calculation rule. For example, those skilled in the art can pre-store the opening degree value calculation rule in the storage space of the fluorine floor heating controller. This opening degree value calculation rule stipulates the corresponding relationship between the fluorine floor heating control instruction and the current opening degree value. The specific opening degree value calculation rule needs to be set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation.

[0062] For example, those skilled in the art can set the opening degree value calculation rule between the working temperature of the fluorine floor heating and the current opening degree value. When the fluorine floor heating control instruction sets the working temperature of the fluorine floor heating, the virtual fluorine floor heating controller in the fluorine floor heating controller determines the current opening degree value of the corresponding flow control valve. For example, when the fluorine floor heating works at 28°C, the basic opening degree value of the flow control valve is 60%A; when the fluorine floor heating works at 30°C, the basic opening degree value of the flow control valve is 70%A, where A is the opening degree value when the flow control valve is fully open. Continuing to refer to Figure 3 , in a feasible embodiment of the present application, the fluorine floor heating controller further includes an air conditioner association module, where:

[0063] The air conditioner association module is used to obtain the identity identifier of the air conditioner controller, and associate the virtual fluorine floor heating controller with the corresponding air conditioner controller according to the identity identifier; where the identity identifier describes the heating area of the air conditioner controller.

[0064] To achieve the accurate association between the virtual fluorine floor heating controller and the air conditioner controller, enabling the user to perform linkage control on the air conditioner and the fluorine floor heating in a certain heating area, an air conditioner association module is provided in the fluorine floor heating controller.

[0065] It can be understood that if it is desired to achieve the linkage control of the air conditioner and the fluorine floor heating in a certain heating area, it is first necessary to ensure that the fluorine floor heating control instruction input by the user on the air conditioner wire controller in the current heating area can be transmitted to the virtual fluorine floor heating controller associated with the flow control valve on the fluorine floor heating branch in the current heating area. Therefore, the association between the air conditioner controller and the virtual fluorine floor heating controller is completed based on the identity identifier of the air conditioner controller.

[0066] The identity identifier describes the heating area of the air conditioner controller. In a feasible embodiment of the present application, the identity identifier is one or more of an IP address, a project address, or a MAC address.

[0067] In one feasible embodiment of this application, the air conditioner association module is specifically used to determine the heating zone of the refrigerant underfloor heating branch where the flow control valve is located, determine the heating zone controlled by the air conditioner according to the identity of the air conditioner controller, and associate the air conditioner controllers with the same heating zone and the virtual refrigerant underfloor heating controllers corresponding to the flow control valve.

[0068] Specifically, after creating a virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller on the fluorinated underfloor heating controller, a corresponding flow control valve is assigned to each virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller, and the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controllers and flow control valves are interconnected. The virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller determines the heating zone of the fluorinated underfloor heating branch where the flow control valve is located. The location information of the heating zone of the fluorinated underfloor heating branch where the flow control valve is located can be manually imported into the fluorinated underfloor heating controller by technicians. When the fluorinated underfloor heating control system and the air conditioner control system are connected to the same communication network for the first time, the fluorinated underfloor heating controller obtains the identity identifiers of all air conditioner controllers. The fluorinated underfloor heating controller identifies these identity identifiers and determines the heating zone of the air conditioner controlled by each air conditioner controller based on the identification results. Then, the fluorinated underfloor heating controller associates the air conditioner controllers with the same heating zone with the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controllers corresponding to the flow control valves.

[0069] In one feasible embodiment of this application, the creation of the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller can be done automatically based on the connection of the flow control valve, or it can be manually configured by those skilled in the art when the flow control valve is connected.

[0070] Taking the automatic creation of a virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller based on the connection of a flow control valve as an example, in some possible implementation scenarios, the flow control valve is connected to the fluorinated underfloor heating control system. When the flow control valve is powered on, it automatically sends flow control valve information to the fluorinated underfloor heating controller. The flow control valve information includes the flow control valve model, the location information of the heating area of ​​the fluorinated underfloor heating branch where the flow control valve is located (which can be pre-imported into the flow control valve by technicians), and the flow control valve's serial number.

[0071] After receiving the flow control valve information, the fluorinated underfloor heating controller first determines whether the flow control valve has been assigned a virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller based on the flow control valve's serial number. If a virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller has already been assigned, no action is taken, and the previously assigned virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller can continue to be used. If a virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller has not yet been assigned, a virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller is created, and the newly created virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller is associated with the flow control valve. The location information of the heating zone of the fluorinated underfloor heating branch where the flow control valve is located is imported into the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller.

[0072] Based on all the above system implementation examples, in some practical implementation scenarios, when users want to control the air conditioner and the refrigerant-based underfloor heating system individually or in conjunction with each other in a certain heating area, this can be achieved in the following ways:

[0073] An air conditioner, a refrigerant-based underfloor heating branch, and an air conditioner wired controller are installed in a certain heating zone. The air conditioner wired controller has different control interfaces, including a refrigerant-based underfloor heating control interface and an air conditioner control interface.

[0074] When a user wants to control the air conditioner in the heating zone, they can directly input the air conditioner control command on the air conditioner control interface. The air conditioner control command is transmitted to the air conditioner controller and then to the air conditioner, allowing the user to control the air conditioner.

[0075] When a user wishes to control the fluorinated underfloor heating in the heating area, they can switch to the fluorinated underfloor heating control interface, enter the fluorinated underfloor heating control command, and the fluorinated underfloor heating control command is transmitted to the air conditioner controller. It is then sent through the communication network to the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller associated with the air conditioner controller, and then transmitted to the flow control valve associated with the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller. The user can then control the fluorinated underfloor heating branch.

[0076] Of course, in one feasible embodiment of this application, some automatic linkage control methods can also be set to automatically generate refrigerant underfloor heating control commands based on the air conditioner control commands. For example, when the user switches the air conditioner's operating mode to energy-saving mode, a refrigerant underfloor heating control command that can set the refrigerant underfloor heating operating mode to energy-saving mode is automatically generated, and the refrigerant underfloor heating operating mode is switched to energy-saving mode simultaneously.

[0077] Continue to refer to Figure 3 In one feasible embodiment of this application, a corresponding fluorinated underfloor heating wired controller is configured for each fluorinated underfloor heating system within the heating area, allowing users to input fluorinated underfloor heating control commands via the controller. In some implementation scenarios, when both fluorinated underfloor heating wired controllers and air conditioner wired controllers exist, they can be placed in different locations within the same heating area for user convenience.

[0078] It is understood that, through the technical solutions provided by the above embodiments of this application, in the control system of fluorinated underfloor heating, the fluorinated underfloor heating wired controller will no longer be a necessary control component. Even without the installation of a fluorinated underfloor heating wired controller, users can still effectively control the fluorinated underfloor heating in different heating zones.

[0079] The technical solution provided in this application allows users to adjust the temperature of each heating zone simply by inputting a refrigerant-based underfloor heating control command via the air conditioner's wired controller. This command is transmitted to the refrigerant-based underfloor heating controller via a communication network, thereby acting on the flow control valve on the refrigerant-based underfloor heating branch in that heating zone and thus adjusting the temperature of the refrigerant-based underfloor heating in that zone. This technical solution eliminates the need for users to sequentially adjust the temperature of the heating zone using both the air conditioner's wired controller and the refrigerant-based underfloor heating controller, making the process more convenient.

[0080] Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating a control method for fluorinated underfloor heating provided in this application embodiment is shown below. Figure 4 This application also provides a control method for fluorinated underfloor heating, which is applied to the control system of the fluorinated underfloor heating system in any of the above system embodiments. The control method includes:

[0081] S1: Generate at least one virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller; wherein the number of virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controllers is the same as the number of flow control valves, and one virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller is associated with one flow control valve;

[0082] S2: Associate the virtual refrigerant floor heating controller with the corresponding air conditioner controller;

[0083] S3: When the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller receives the fluorinated underfloor heating control command through the communication network, it controls the flow control valve associated with the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller according to the fluorinated underfloor heating control command; wherein, the fluorinated underfloor heating control command is input through the air conditioner wired controller connected to the currently associated air conditioner controller.

[0084] Specifically, the control method for fluorinated underfloor heating provided in this application embodiment can control the control system of fluorinated underfloor heating, and the control method for fluorinated underfloor heating provided in this application embodiment can be specifically applied to a fluorinated underfloor heating controller.

[0085] When the control system of fluorinated underfloor heating starts running, the fluorinated underfloor heating controller generates multiple virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controllers, which are the same number as the flow control valves. It then assigns one virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller to each currently connected flow control valve. The virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller is used to control the flow control valves.

[0086] After generating the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller, the fluorinated underfloor heating controller associates the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller with the corresponding air conditioner controller. Specifically, the associated air conditioner controller and the fluorinated underfloor heating branch where the flow control valve corresponding to the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller is located are in the same heating zone.

[0087] When a user inputs a refrigerant-based underfloor heating control command via the air conditioner's wired controller connected to the air conditioner's main controller, the command is transmitted through a communication network to a virtual refrigerant-based underfloor heating controller. The virtual controller then controls the flow control valve according to the command, thereby controlling the refrigerant-based underfloor heating circuits within the current heating zone. This allows users to directly control the refrigerant-based underfloor heating circuits via the air conditioner's wired controller, which is quite convenient.

[0088] In one feasible embodiment of this application, controlling the flow control valve associated with the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller according to the fluorinated underfloor heating control command includes:

[0089] Calculate the current opening value of the flow control valve based on the control command for the fluorinated underfloor heating system;

[0090] The opening value of the flow control valve associated with the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller is controlled based on the current opening value.

[0091] Specifically, when the virtual refrigerant floor heating controller receives the refrigerant floor heating control command from the associated air conditioner controller, it calculates the current opening value based on the refrigerant floor heating control command, and controls the opening value of the associated flow control valve based on the current opening value.

[0092] In one feasible embodiment of this application, the calculation of the current opening value based on the fluorinated underfloor heating control command can be achieved through a preset opening value calculation rule. For example, those skilled in the art can pre-store the opening value calculation rule in the storage space of the fluorinated underfloor heating controller. This opening value calculation rule specifies the correspondence between the fluorinated underfloor heating control command and the current opening value. The specific opening value calculation rule needs to be set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation.

[0093] For example, those skilled in the art can set the calculation rules for the working temperature and current opening value of the fluorinated underfloor heating. When the working temperature of the fluorinated underfloor heating is set in the fluorinated underfloor heating control command, the virtual fluorinated underfloor heating controller in the fluorinated underfloor heating controller determines the current opening value of the corresponding flow control valve. For example, when the fluorinated underfloor heating is working at 28°C, the basic opening value of the flow control valve is 60%A, and when the fluorinated underfloor heating is working at 30°C, the basic opening value of the flow control valve is 70%A, where A is the opening value when the flow control valve is fully open.

[0094] In one feasible embodiment of this application, associating the virtual refrigerant-based underfloor heating controller with the corresponding air conditioner controller includes:

[0095] Determine the heating zone of the fluorinated underfloor heating branch where the currently associated flow control valve is located;

[0096] The heating zone where the air conditioner controller is located is determined based on the controller's identification identifier;

[0097] Associate the air conditioner controllers and the virtual refrigerant floor heating controllers corresponding to the flow control valves in the same heating area.

[0098] Specifically, the association method between the virtual refrigerant floor heating controller and the corresponding air conditioner controller can be implemented through the air conditioner association module in the refrigerant floor heating controller in the above system embodiment. The specific implementation has been described in the above system embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0099] In another aspect, embodiments of this application also provide an electronic device capable of implementing the control method for fluorinated underfloor heating as described in any of the above method embodiments. Specifically, the electronic device may be a fluorinated underfloor heating controller as described in any of the above system embodiments.
