[0047] The floor heating room temperature control device is a floor heating room temperature control solution that combines energy-saving, comfort, safety and intelligence. The product solves the problem that the existing product's room temperature controller cannot be linked with the wall-mounted boiler, avoids energy waste, extends the service life of the wall-mounted boiler, and realizes intelligent room temperature control. The product includes an intelligent room temperature control box, a thermostat, a wireless signal transceiver, an electric heating actuator, etc., and supports wireless and remote control, improving the convenience of installation and operation. Experimental data shows that compared with traditional temperature control products, the gas consumption per unit area during the heating period is saved by 1.38m 3 / ㎡, saving 20% energy consumption. While saving energy, it can greatly reduce the emissions of pollutants such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide. The control system mainly includes a single-chip microcomputer as the core controller, a keyboard input module, a display module, a communication module, a temperature acquisition module, a driving module, a remote control device, etc., and can realize the judgment, processing, output, and control of the control logic of the floor heating system. The intelligent room control box is the control center of the whole device, receiving signals from the temperature controllers of each room. When the temperature controllers of all rooms reach the set temperature, the intelligent room control box controls the wall-mounted boiler to stop running with the help of the transceiver. When the temperature of any one room thermostat drops below the set temperature, the intelligent room control box controls the wall-mounted boiler to start with the help of the transceiver.

[0048] Intelligent controller: As the core component, it is responsible for receiving and processing signals from the indoor temperature sensor and the flow sensor, and sending instructions to the wall-mounted boiler and the floor heating system according to the preset control strategy.

[0049] It has an intelligent learning function and can automatically optimize the control strategy according to the user's usage habits and the temperature changes inside and outside the room. It supports multiple communication protocols and is compatible with wall-mounted boilers and floor heating systems of different brands and models. The intelligent temperature control box mainly consists of a temperature sensor, (or thermostat, single-chip microcomputer control module), actuator, and other auxiliary components inside. Working principle: The working process of the intelligent temperature control system usually includes the following steps: The temperature sensor monitors the ambient temperature in real time and feeds back the data to the controller. The controller calculates the best temperature control plan according to the preset temperature range or user instructions, and the received temperature data. The controller sends instructions to the actuator, and the actuator adjusts the operating state of heating, cooling and other equipment according to the instructions. The system realizes the precise control of the indoor temperature by continuously cycling this process.

[0050] Indoor temperature sensor: Distributed in different areas of the room, it monitors the indoor temperature in real time and transmits the data to the intelligent controller. Multiple temperature measurement points can be set according to user needs to achieve zoned temperature control. Working principle: The resistance value of the thermistor changes with the change of temperature. This change can be positive temperature coefficient (the resistance value increases with the increase of temperature) or negative temperature coefficient (the resistance value decreases with the increase of temperature). The thermistor can achieve high precision within a limited temperature range.

[0051] Wireless linkage module: It includes a wireless transmitter and a receiver, which are used to realize the wireless signal transmission between the wall-mounted boiler and the floor heating system. There is no need for complex physical wiring, and the installation process is more flexible and convenient, especially suitable for transforming the traditional floor heating and wall-mounted boiler linkage system. Working principle: The working principle of the wireless linkage module is to control the start and stop of the wall-mounted boiler through the temperature control panels in each area of the room, realizing the wireless linkage between the floor heating and the wall-mounted boiler.

[0052] Specifically, when the indoor temperature control panel senses that the temperature reaches the preset value, it will send a wireless signal to the linkage module. After receiving this signal, the linkage module will further process it and send a control signal to the wall-mounted boiler. After receiving the control signal, the wall-mounted boiler will perform start-stop operations according to the instructions of the signal. In this way, the wireless linkage control between the floor heating and the wall-mounted boiler is achieved.

[0053] The advantage of this linkage control is that it can avoid the frequent start and stop of the wall-mounted boiler caused by the lag of heat transfer of the floor heating. When the temperatures of all rooms reach the preset value, all temperature control panels will send signals to the linkage module, and the linkage module will then control the wall-mounted boiler to extinguish and stop burning, thereby saving gas and protecting the wall-mounted boiler.

[0054] In addition, the wireless linkage module can also implement some other functions, such as delaying the notification of the boiler ignition after the temperature control panel is turned on, and linkage control of the start and stop of the external water pump, etc. These can further improve the energy-saving effect and usability of the system.

[0055] Ratio valve: The main working effect of the indoor temperature sensor is reflected in the accurate measurement of temperature and signal conversion. It can sense the ambient temperature in real time and convert this temperature information into an electrical signal for output for the control system to analyze. This accurate measurement and conversion ability makes the indoor temperature sensor play an important role in the temperature control system and can ensure that the system starts in a timely manner according to temperature changes.

[0056] Working principle: The working principle of the valve is mainly to control the flow, pressure or temperature of the fluid by adjusting the opening of the fluid passage according to the input signals (such as temperature, pressure, etc.).

[0057] The valve usually contains components such as valve flaps, valve seats, and valve stems inside. When it is necessary to adjust the fluid flow or pressure, by rotating or moving the valve stem, the valve flap is driven to move within the valve seat, thereby changing the opening of the fluid passage. The sealing performance between the valve flap and the valve seat determines the control accuracy and leakage rate of the valve.

[0058] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
