The water pressure potential energy of the flowing water is converted into electric energy and transmitted to the communication unit for use, so as to meet the self-sufficient power supply and control system of the system.
[0047] In a specific embodiment, the differential pressure power generation unit 100 comprises: a self-acting differential pressure valve 50 and a generator 60, the input end of the self-acting differential pressure valve 50 is arranged in communication with the water supply pipeline 210, and the water pressure of the water flow can be automatically stabilized to provide stable working conditions for the generator 60.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, it also includes a water supply downhole direct-buried driving device 410 and a water return downhole direct-buried driving device 420, and the communication unit includes a water supply communication unit 610 and a water return communication unit 620.

[0055] A control method using a downhole automatic charging control electric regulating valve system includes the following steps:
[0056] S100, the differential pressure charging unit converts water pressure potential energy into electrical energy;
[0057] In this specific step, the pressure difference charging unit converts the water pressure potential energy of the water flow through the return water pipeline 220 into electrical energy. Specifically, the heat well down pressure difference power generation device includes a shell, an output pipeline, an input pipeline, a self-operated pressure difference valve 50, and a generator 60. The shell is a hollow structure. The two ends of the input pipeline are respectively adapted to connect the heat well down water supply pipeline 210 and the shell. The two ends of the output pipeline are respectively adapted to connect the heat well down return water pipeline 220 and the shell. The self-operated pressure difference valve 50 and the generator 60 are both arranged inside the shell. The input end of the self-operated pressure difference valve 50 is connected with the input pipeline, and the output end is connected with the output pipeline. The generator 60 is adapted to electrically connect the downhole battery box 500 and the self-operated pressure difference valve 50, and provides electrical energy for the downhole battery box 500. The generator 60 outputs electrical energy to the battery box and the automatic control component, reduces the dependence on external cables, adapts to the difficult wiring scene underground, and can generate electricity by using the water flow in the water supply pipeline 210 and the return water pipeline 220 underground and the pressure difference of the water flow without repeatedly replacing the battery of the downhole battery box 500. The electrical energy is transmitted to the downhole battery box 500, which greatly improves the work efficiency. Specifically, the shell provides a closed space for the generator 60 and the self-operated pressure difference valve 50 to resist the harsh environment of underground humidity, dust, high pressure, etc. The input pipeline connects the heat well down water supply pipeline 210 and the shell, and the output pipeline connects the shell and the return water pipeline 220 to form a hydraulic circulation channel. The self-operated pressure difference valve 50 automatically adjusts the water flow pressure difference to provide constant hydraulic drive for the generator 60. The generator 60 realizes mechanical energy-electricity conversion through stable water flow, and transmits the converted electricity to the downhole battery box 500. It also includes a check valve 70, which is communicatively arranged on the output pipeline to ensure that water only flows from the water supply pipeline 210 to the return water pipeline 220 and cannot flow back. When the return water side pressure of the heating system fluctuates, the water flow does not impact the turbine of the generator 60 and the valve core of the self-operated pressure difference valve 50 in the reverse direction, avoiding damage to the equipment due to reverse rotation. It realizes a one-way flow channel of “input→self-operated pressure difference valve→output”, ensuring the continuity of the power generation process and the effectiveness of the pressure difference valve adjustment. It also includes input and output manual ball valves 20. The input manual ball valve 20 is communicatively arranged on the input pipeline, and the output manual ball valve 20 is communicatively arranged on the output pipeline, which is used to fully open or close the power supply system. Usually, both manual ball valves 20 are open, and only when disassembling or maintaining will they be closed. In this way, when maintaining, closing the two ball valves can quickly isolate the device from the heating system, without the need to shut down the entire heating system, reducing the impact of maintenance on heating, physically cutting off the flow to protect the safety of maintenance personnel, and preventing external impurities from entering the clean chamber to be maintained.Further comprising: an electrically operated on-off valve 40, the electrically operated on-off valve 40 is arranged in the interior of the shell, and two ends of the electrically operated on-off valve 40 are connected with the input pipeline and the self-operated pressure difference valve 50 respectively, the electrically operated on-off valve 40 controls important components of the whole power generation system, because the power generation system will make the heat supply unstable, so it is not all-weather power generation, when the battery power is lower than 50% and the time is at noon, the valve opening and the opening size are controlled. Further comprising: an input pressure transmitter 10 and an output pressure transmitter 10, the input pressure transmitter 10 is arranged in communication on the input pipeline, and the output pressure transmitter 10 is arranged in communication on the output pipeline, wherein the input pressure transmitter 10 and the output pressure transmitter 10 are connected with the electrically operated on-off valve 40, and control the opening and closing of the electrically operated on-off valve 40. The pressure transmitter 10 can transmit the water pressure of the backwater side to the backwater communication control unit in real time, and then upload it to the cloud platform, so that the user can monitor the water pressure data in real time, and at the same time, this component also participates in the control of the electrically operated on-off valve 40, for example, when the electrically operated on-off valve 40 receives an alarm of excessive water pressure, the valve opening of the electrically operated on-off valve 40 will be reduced. Further comprising: a filter 30, the filter 30 is arranged in communication on the input pipeline, which can filter impurities from the water, and improve the service life of the turbine of the generator 60. The input manual ball valve 20, the input pressure transmitter 10, the filter 30, the electrically operated on-off valve 40, the self-operated pressure difference valve 50, the check valve 70, the output pressure transmitter 10 and the output manual ball valve 20 are connected in sequence. In this way, the whole process coverage of "manual on-off → pressure monitoring → impurity filtering → automatic on-off → pressure difference stabilization → reverse flow blocking → pressure monitoring → manual on-off" is realized, the function is layered and clear, conflicts are avoided, and the standardized flow channel is convenient for on-site installation, arrangement and fault troubleshooting. The shell comprises: a cover body and a cover body, the cover body is a hollow square structure, and one end is open, the cover body is a plate structure matched with the opening of the cover body, and the cover body and the cover body are connected by sealing bolts.

[0060] S300, the communication unit adjusts the opening and closing degree of the water supply pipeline 210 and the backwater pipeline 220;
[0061] After the communication unit obtains self-sufficient electric energy, the staff does not need to replace the battery, and the opening and closing degree adjustment of the water supply pipeline 210 and the backwater pipeline 220 can be completed.

[0067] S130, the generator 60 of the differential pressure power generation unit 100 converts the water pressure potential energy of the water flow into electric energy;
[0068] In this specific step, the generator 60 can convert the water pressure potential energy into electric energy. When the water flowing in the water supply pipeline 210 flows into the water return pipeline 220, the water pressure potential energy of the water flow itself is converted into electric energy, and the generated electric energy is transmitted to the communication unit through the power generation control unit 300, so as to realize the self-sufficiency of the overall system.
[0069] In one specific embodiment, S110, the electric switch valve 40 of the differential pressure power generation unit 100 adjusts the water inflow of the input end of the self-operated differential pressure valve 50 further includes the following steps:
