These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0053] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions 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.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0055] In this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0056] With the rapid development of technology and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, heating equipment, as an indispensable part of modern homes, has received increasing attention. Heating equipment aims to provide residents with a warm and comfortable living environment by regulating indoor temperature.

[0057] However, while heating equipment plays a vital role in providing warmth and comfort, existing systems still present challenges in energy management. Specifically, current heating systems typically employ two temperature regulation strategies to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures. The first strategy intelligently predicts and automatically adjusts the set temperature by analyzing occupants' historical usage habits and combining this with current and future weather forecasts. The second strategy achieves remote and precise control of the heating system by installing indoor thermostats and utilizing IoT technology or dedicated communication ports.

[0058] Therefore, the urgent problem to be solved is how to operate heating equipment in a more energy-efficient manner while ensuring a constant and comfortable indoor temperature, so as to achieve optimal energy allocation, reduce unnecessary energy waste, and improve user satisfaction.

[0059] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a control method for heating equipment. After obtaining the indoor and outdoor temperatures of the building, the method first compares the outlet and return water temperatures of the heating equipment to determine if the temperature difference meets the necessary conditions for heating. If the conditions are met, the heating equipment is activated. Simultaneously, when determining the heating operation, the building's insulation performance parameters, the current indoor temperature, and the outdoor temperature are comprehensively considered to precisely set the target heating temperature. This method solves the problem of not being able to operate heating equipment in a more energy-efficient manner, thereby effectively reducing energy consumption, improving energy utilization efficiency, and providing users with a more economical, environmentally friendly, and comfortable living experience.

[0060] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] Figure 1 The flow chart of the control method for the heating equipment provided in this embodiment Figure 1 .like Figure 1 As shown, the control method for the heating equipment provided in this embodiment includes:

[0062] S101: Obtain the indoor and outdoor temperatures of the house.

[0063] The indoor temperature indicates the current internal temperature of the building. The outdoor temperature indicates the current external temperature of the building.

[0064] By obtaining the indoor and outdoor temperatures of a house, it means that both the indoor and outdoor temperatures of the house at the current moment can be obtained. For example, the outdoor temperature of the house at the current moment is -10°C, and the indoor temperature is 26°C.

[0065] Understandably, indoor temperature, as a key indicator directly reflecting the thermal comfort of a building, has a direct impact on the physical comfort of its inhabitants. Outdoor temperature, on the other hand, serves as an important indicator for assessing the impact of the external environment on a building's heat exchange, determining the external climatic conditions that a building needs to cope with, such as cold, hot, or mild.

[0066] Therefore, by obtaining the indoor and outdoor temperatures of a house, one can not only understand the thermal comfort level inside the house, but also the temperature outside the house.

[0067] The timing of this acquisition step can be, for example, real-time or at a preset period. This application does not impose any special restrictions on this.

[0068] Different acquisition factors require different acquisition methods. For example, when the acquisition factor is indoor temperature, it can be acquired through an indoor temperature sensor or a smart thermostat.

[0069] When the acquisition factor is outdoor temperature, it can be obtained, for example, by querying an application on a mobile terminal connected to the heating equipment, or by obtaining it through an outdoor temperature sensor. This application does not impose any special restrictions on the acquisition methods for indoor and outdoor temperatures.

[0070] S102: Based on the outlet and return water temperatures of the heating equipment, determine whether the difference between the outlet and return water temperatures meets the heating conditions.

[0071] The outlet water temperature refers to the water temperature when the water is heated by the heating equipment and then transported to the radiators or other heat dissipation equipment through the pipes.

[0072] Return water temperature refers to the temperature of the water in the radiator or other heat dissipation equipment when it returns to the heating equipment after completing the heat exchange with the indoor environment.

[0073] Heating conditions are used to assess whether additional heating is needed inside a house to raise the indoor temperature.

[0074] The purpose of this step is to determine whether the difference between the outlet and return water temperatures of the heating equipment meets the heating conditions, in order to ascertain whether the current internal temperature of the house has dropped to a level where heating is necessary.

[0075] If the difference between the outlet water temperature and the return water temperature meets the heating conditions, it indicates that the current internal temperature of the house has dropped to a level where heating is required. At this time, the heating equipment can be controlled to heat up, and the target heating temperature of the heating equipment can be determined based on the house's thermal insulation performance parameters, indoor temperature, and outdoor temperature.

[0076] If the difference between the outlet water temperature and the return water temperature does not meet the heating conditions, it indicates that the current internal temperature of the house has not dropped to a level where heating is required. In this case, new indoor and outdoor temperatures can be obtained.

[0077] Understandably, the outlet water temperature characterizes the initial heat level supplied by the heating equipment to the house, while the return water temperature characterizes the remaining heat level after the heat supplied by the heating equipment has undergone heat exchange within the house. If the difference between the outlet and return water temperatures is small, it indicates that the internal temperature of the house is relatively stable during the heating process, and therefore, it is not necessary to immediately increase the heating intensity. Conversely, if the difference between the outlet and return water temperatures is large, it indicates that the internal temperature of the house is unstable during the heating process, causing a large amount of heat to be lost to the external environment, resulting in a significant drop in the internal temperature of the house, and therefore, it is necessary to immediately increase the heating intensity.

[0078] Therefore, by taking into account both the outlet water temperature and the return water temperature, it is possible to infer whether the current internal temperature of the house has dropped.

[0079] In this step, for example, the outlet water temperature and return water temperature of the heating equipment can be determined first. Then, based on the outlet water temperature and return water temperature of the heating equipment, it can be determined whether the difference between the outlet water temperature and the return water temperature meets the heating conditions.

[0080] S103: If the difference between the outlet water temperature and the return water temperature meets the heating conditions, the heating equipment is controlled to heat, and the target heating temperature of the heating equipment is determined based on the thermal insulation performance parameters of the house, the indoor temperature and the outdoor temperature.

[0081] The purpose of this step, which controls the heating equipment, is to address the current drop in the interior temperature of the house and ensure that the indoor temperature can rise and be maintained within the comfort range desired by the residents.

[0082] Understandably, when the difference between the outlet water temperature and the return water temperature meets the heating conditions, it means that the indoor temperature of the house has dropped to a level where heating needs to be increased. Therefore, controlling the heating equipment can not only prevent the indoor temperature from dropping further, but also avoid affecting the comfort and health of the residents.

[0083] The purpose of this step is to set the target heating temperature of the heating equipment based on the building's insulation performance parameters, the current indoor temperature, and the outdoor temperature, so as to ensure that the indoor temperature can be raised quickly while saving energy.

[0084] Understandably, by comprehensively considering the building's insulation performance parameters, the current indoor temperature, and the outdoor temperature, a target heating temperature can be calculated. This temperature can not only quickly raise the indoor temperature, but also minimize the energy consumption of the heating equipment while meeting the indoor temperature requirements, so as to achieve efficient energy utilization.

[0085] The heating equipment control method provided in this embodiment first acquires the indoor and outdoor temperatures of the building. Then, considering both the outlet and return water temperatures of the heating equipment, it determines whether the temperature difference between the outlet and return water temperatures is sufficient to support further heating needs. If it does support further heating needs, the heating equipment is controlled to heat to the determined target temperature. This method solves the problem of not being able to operate heating equipment in a more energy-efficient manner, thereby effectively reducing unnecessary energy consumption while ensuring optimal indoor comfort for residents, ultimately achieving optimal energy allocation.

[0086] Figure 2 The flow chart of the control method for the heating equipment provided in this embodiment Figure 2 .like Figure 2 As shown. This embodiment is... Figure 1 Based on the embodiments, the control method for heating equipment is described in detail. The control method for heating equipment provided in this embodiment includes:

[0087] S201: Obtain multiple historical outlet water temperatures and corresponding historical return water temperatures of the heating equipment, and determine historical insulation performance parameters based on the historical outlet water temperature and historical return water temperature.

[0088] Historical water temperature refers to the temperature of the hot water flowing out of the heating equipment.

[0089] Historical return water temperature refers to the temperature of the hot water that flows out of the heating equipment and returns to the heating equipment after circulating through the heating system.

[0090] The purpose of obtaining multiple historical outlet water temperatures and corresponding historical return water temperatures of the heating equipment in this step is to determine the operating data of the heating equipment over a period of time (e.g., the past 7 days). This data includes, but is not limited to, the temperature of the hot water flowing out of the heating equipment and the temperature of the water returning to the heating equipment after circulation.

[0091] This step can be achieved, for example, by querying a database of heating equipment. This application does not impose any special restrictions on this.

[0092] For example, at 8:00 AM on July 1, 2024, the historical outlet water temperature of the heating equipment was found to be 55°C, and the corresponding historical return water temperature was 40°C. This means that at that moment, the hot water flowing out of the heating equipment was 55°C, while the water returning to the heating equipment after circulating through the heating system was 40°C.

[0093] Similarly, at 9:00 AM on July 1, 2024, the historical outlet water temperature of the heating equipment was found to be 55°C, and the corresponding historical return water temperature was 42°C. This means that at that moment, the hot water flowing out of the heating equipment was 55°C, while the water returning to the heating equipment after circulating through the heating system was 42°C.

[0094] By analyzing multiple historical outlet water temperatures and corresponding historical return water temperatures of the heating equipment, it is possible to determine the thermal insulation performance parameters of the house at different points in time when the heating equipment was used to heat the house over a period of time.

[0095] This is understandable, as the outlet water temperature refers to the temperature of the hot water flowing out of the heating equipment, reflecting the amount of heat the equipment imparts to the house. A higher outlet water temperature means that the heating equipment releases more heat into the house per unit of time.

[0096] The corresponding return water temperature refers to the temperature at which the hot water returns to the heating system after circulating within the house. It reflects the remaining heat after the hot water has exchanged heat with the interior environment of the house during its circulation.

[0097] Therefore, by analyzing multiple historical outlet water temperatures and corresponding historical return water temperatures, it is possible to analyze the heat loss of hot water during circulation, thereby indirectly assessing the building's insulation performance. Good insulation indicates that less heat is lost during hot water circulation. Conversely, poor insulation indicates that more heat is lost during hot water circulation.

[0098] S202: Based on multiple historical thermal insulation performance parameters and corresponding historical outdoor temperatures, a preset mapping relationship between outdoor temperature and thermal insulation performance parameters is obtained by fitting.

[0099] The purpose of this step is to obtain a mapping relationship that can be used to evaluate the thermal insulation performance of a house.

[0100] Understandably, historical insulation performance parameters of a building are used to characterize heat loss within the building. A higher historical insulation performance parameter indicates better insulation performance, while a lower parameter indicates poorer insulation performance.

[0101] Outdoor temperature is one of the key factors affecting the rate of heat loss from inside a building. When the outdoor temperature drops, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the building increases, which accelerates heat loss. Therefore, the lower the outdoor temperature, the greater the heat input required for the building to maintain its internal temperature, and the faster the rate of heat loss will also increase.

[0102] Therefore, by analyzing multiple historical thermal insulation performance parameters (i.e., the differences in outlet and return water temperatures at different time points) and corresponding historical outdoor temperature data, and performing fitting analysis, a mapping model describing the relationship between outdoor temperature and building thermal insulation performance can be established. This model can predict how the building's thermal insulation performance will change under different outdoor temperature conditions.

[0103] S203: Obtain the indoor and outdoor temperatures of the building.

[0104] The explanation steps for step S203 are similar to those for step S101, and will not be repeated here.

[0105] S204: Determine whether the difference between the outlet water temperature and the return water temperature is greater than a preset threshold; if yes, proceed to step S205; if no, proceed to step S203.

[0106] The preset threshold can be, for example, 5°C or 8°C. This application does not impose any special restrictions on this.

[0107] The purpose of determining whether the difference between the outlet water temperature and the corresponding return water temperature of the heating equipment is greater than a preset threshold is to determine whether the current thermal insulation performance of the house is poor.

[0108] If the difference between the outlet water temperature and the corresponding return water temperature of the heating equipment is greater than the preset threshold, it indicates that the current thermal insulation performance of the house is poor. In this case, it can be determined that the difference between the outlet water temperature and the return water temperature meets the heating conditions.

[0109] If the difference between the outlet water temperature and the corresponding return water temperature of the heating equipment is not greater than the preset threshold, it indicates that the current thermal insulation performance of the house is good. At this time, the new indoor and outdoor temperatures can be obtained.

[0110] Understandably, by comparing the difference between the outlet water temperature and the corresponding return water temperature of the heating equipment with a preset threshold, the amount of heat lost when hot water circulates in the house can be determined, and thus the change in the house's thermal insulation performance can be obtained.

[0111] If the difference between the outlet water temperature and the corresponding return water temperature of the heating system is greater than a preset threshold, it indicates that the hot water has lost a significant amount of heat during circulation, suggesting poor insulation of the building. Conversely, if the difference between the outlet water temperature and the corresponding return water temperature is less than or equal to the preset threshold, it indicates that the hot water has lost less heat, suggesting relatively good insulation of the building.

[0112] S205: Determine that the difference between the outlet water temperature and the return water temperature meets the heating conditions.

[0113] Among them, the heating conditions are used to trigger the heating equipment to perform heating operations.

[0114] Understandably, when the difference between the outlet water temperature and the corresponding return water temperature of the heating system exceeds a preset threshold, it indicates poor insulation of the building, leading to rapid heat loss. Therefore, to increase the indoor temperature, the heating system needs to be activated.

[0115] S206: Determine the thermal insulation performance parameters of the house based on the outdoor temperature and the preset mapping relationship between outdoor temperature and thermal insulation performance parameters.

[0116] The purpose of this step is to determine the thermal insulation performance parameters at the current outdoor temperature based on the mapping relationship between the outdoor temperature and the thermal insulation performance parameters obtained through previous fitting.

[0117] Understandably, since the thermal insulation performance of a building is closely related to external environmental conditions (such as temperature and humidity), by comprehensively considering the current outdoor temperature and the pre-established mapping relationship, the thermal insulation effect of a specific building under the current outdoor environment can be more accurately evaluated, so as to provide a basis for the control of heating equipment.

[0118] In this step, for example, the current outdoor temperature of the house can be input into a preset mapping relationship between outdoor temperature and thermal insulation performance parameters to obtain the thermal insulation performance parameters output by the mapping relationship.

[0119] For example, suppose the preset mapping relationship between outdoor temperature and thermal insulation performance parameter is y = 0.2 * x + 0.6, where y is the thermal insulation performance parameter of the house and x is the preset outdoor temperature. Given that the outdoor temperature is 3℃, then based on this information, the thermal insulation performance parameter y of the house can be determined to be 1.2.

[0120] S207: Control the heating of heating equipment.

[0121] The explanation of step S208 is the same as that in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0122] S208: Input the building's thermal insulation performance parameters, indoor temperature, and outdoor temperature into a pre-trained temperature model to obtain the target heating temperature of the heating equipment output by the temperature model. The temperature model is trained based on the building's historical thermal insulation performance parameters, historical indoor temperature, and historical outdoor temperature.

[0123] The purpose of this step is to obtain the target temperature that the water in the heating equipment should reach after heating.

[0124] Understandably, since the temperature model is trained based on the building's historical insulation performance parameters, historical indoor temperature, and historical outdoor temperature, it can comprehensively consider multiple factors and predict the target temperature that the water in the heating equipment should reach after heating under different conditions.

[0125] Therefore, by inputting the building's thermal insulation performance parameters, indoor temperature, and outdoor temperature into a pre-trained temperature model, the target temperature that the water in the heating equipment should reach after heating under the current conditions (i.e., the building's thermal insulation performance parameters, indoor temperature, and outdoor temperature) can be obtained.

[0126] Optionally, step S208 provides one implementation method for determining the target heating temperature of the heating equipment based on the thermal insulation performance parameters of the house, the indoor temperature, and the outdoor temperature. This application provides another implementation method, which specifically includes: determining the target heating temperature of the heating equipment based on the thermal insulation performance parameters of the house, the indoor temperature, the outdoor temperature, and a preset mapping relationship between the thermal insulation performance parameters, the indoor temperature, the outdoor temperature, and the target temperature.

[0127] Among them, the preset mapping relationship between thermal insulation performance parameters, indoor temperature, outdoor temperature and target temperature is used to predict the temperature that the water in the heating equipment should reach after being heated under the current conditions (such as the thermal insulation performance parameters of the house, indoor temperature and outdoor temperature).

[0128] For example, the mapping relationship between the preset thermal insulation performance parameters, indoor temperature, outdoor temperature and target temperature can be T=a*u+b*v+c*w+d, where T is the preset target temperature, u is the preset indoor temperature, v is the preset outdoor temperature, and w is the preset thermal insulation performance parameter. In this case, T, u, v and w are variable variables, a, b and c are constant coefficients, and d is a constant.

[0129] In this step, for example, the thermal insulation performance parameters of the house, the indoor temperature and the outdoor temperature can be input into the preset mapping relationship between the thermal insulation performance parameters, the indoor temperature, the outdoor temperature and the target temperature to obtain the target temperature output by the mapping relationship.

[0130] Understandably, by using the building's thermal insulation performance parameters, indoor temperature, and outdoor temperature as input factors and inputting them into a pre-built mapping relationship, the target temperature output by the mapping relationship can be obtained. This target temperature can characterize the temperature that the water in the heating equipment should reach after being heated under the current conditions.

[0131] The control method for heating equipment provided in this embodiment first collects multiple historical outlet water temperatures and corresponding historical return water temperature data of the heating equipment, analyzes and determines a series of historical insulation performance parameters. Then, using these historical insulation performance parameters and their corresponding outdoor temperature data, a preset mapping relationship between outdoor temperature and insulation performance parameters is constructed. Next, the current indoor and outdoor temperatures of the house are obtained, and it is determined whether the difference between the current outlet and return water temperatures exceeds a preset threshold. If so, it is determined that the difference between the outlet and return water temperatures meets the heating conditions. Subsequently, based on the previously established mapping relationship, the insulation performance parameters of the current house are determined. Then, the insulation performance parameters of the house, the indoor temperature, and the outdoor temperature are input into a pre-trained temperature model to obtain the target heating temperature output by the temperature model, so that the heating equipment heats according to the target temperature. This method effectively solves the problem of heating equipment not being able to operate in a more energy-efficient manner, thereby avoiding energy waste and improving user satisfaction.

[0132] Figure 3 The flow chart of the control method for the heating equipment provided in this embodiment Figure 3 .like Figure 3 As shown. Based on the above embodiments, this application also provides another method for determining whether the current thermal insulation performance of the house meets the heating conditions based on the outlet and return water temperatures of the heating equipment, specifically including:

[0133] S301: Determine if the difference between the outlet water temperature and the return water temperature is greater than a preset threshold; if yes, proceed to step S302; otherwise, proceed to step S305.

[0134] The explanation of step S301 is the same as that in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0135] S302: Determine whether the water outlet of the heating equipment is still used for non-heating purposes; if yes, proceed to step S303; if no, proceed to step S304.

[0136] Non-heating uses refer to the use of heating equipment for purposes other than indoor heating. These uses include, but are not limited to, washing hands, face, vegetables, dishes, or laundry.

[0137] The purpose of determining whether the water outlet of a heating system is used for non-heating purposes is to determine whether the loss of heat from the hot water in the heating system is related to the user's water usage behavior.

[0138] It's understandable that a building's insulation performance is related to the outdoor temperature, but not to the user's water usage. However, the user's water usage will cause heat loss in the heating system. Therefore, when it's determined that the difference between the outlet and return water temperatures of the heating system exceeds a preset threshold, it's also necessary to determine whether the heat loss in the heating system is related to the user's water usage.

[0139] Specifically, the hot water in heating equipment has a dual function: on the one hand, it circulates in the heating system as a heat transfer medium, providing a warm environment indoors; on the other hand, this hot water may also be directly used by users to meet their daily hot water needs, such as washing hands, face, and vegetables. Therefore, the drop in hot water temperature in heating equipment is mainly caused by two factors: first, the hot water naturally cools down during the heating process due to heat loss from the room; second, when users directly use the hot water, some heat is drawn from the system, leading to a drop in water temperature.

[0140] Therefore, given the aforementioned dual functions, it is necessary to determine whether the water output from the heating equipment is also used for non-heating purposes (i.e., whether the user is directly using the hot water) to accurately distinguish the cause of the hot water temperature drop. If the user is indeed using the hot water provided by the heating equipment, then the drop in hot water temperature is directly related to the user's behavior, indicating that the hot water has been used by the user and some heat has been lost. Conversely, if the water output from the heating equipment is only used for heating and is not directly used by the user, then the drop in hot water temperature is more likely due to heat loss during the heating process.

[0141] If the water from the heating equipment is also used for non-heating purposes, it indicates that the loss of heat from the hot water in the heating equipment is related to the user's water usage behavior. In this case, it can be determined that the difference between the outlet water temperature and the return water temperature does not meet the heating conditions.

[0142] If the water outlet of the heating equipment is not used for non-heating purposes, it indicates that the heat loss of the hot water in the heating equipment is unrelated to the user's water usage behavior. In this case, it can be determined that the difference between the outlet water temperature and the return water temperature meets the heating conditions.

[0143] In this step, determining whether the water output from the heating equipment is still used for non-heating purposes can be done, for example, by detecting and analyzing the water flow sensor built into the heating equipment.

[0144] S303: The difference between the outlet water temperature and the return water temperature does not meet the heating conditions.

[0145] Understandably, if it is determined that the current insulation performance of the house does not meet the heating requirements, it means that the current internal temperature of the house can provide a comfortable experience for the user. At the same time, it also means that the current internal temperature of the house is sufficient. In this case, the heating equipment does not need to perform heating operations.

[0146] S304: Determine that the difference between the outlet water temperature and the return water temperature meets the heating conditions.

[0147] It is understandable that if the current insulation performance of the house meets the heating conditions, it means that the current internal temperature of the house cannot provide a comfortable experience for the user. At the same time, it also means that the current internal temperature of the house is insufficient. In this case, the heating equipment needs to start heating.

[0148] S305: Obtain new indoor and outdoor temperatures.

[0149] If the difference between the outlet and return water temperatures of the heating system is determined to be no greater than a preset threshold, it indicates that the building's current insulation performance is good. At this point, to prevent insufficient indoor temperature, it is necessary to obtain the latest indoor and outdoor temperature data so that adjustments can be made according to environmental changes.

[0150] The control method for heating equipment provided in this embodiment first determines whether the difference between the outlet water temperature and the return water temperature is greater than a preset threshold. If this difference exceeds the threshold, it indicates a potential heating demand. In this case, it further determines whether the outlet water of the heating equipment is also being used for non-heating purposes. If the outlet water is being used for non-heating purposes, it is determined that the difference between the outlet and return water temperatures does not meet the heating conditions. Conversely, if the outlet water is not being used for non-heating purposes, it is determined that the difference between the outlet and return water temperatures meets the heating conditions, thereby triggering the heating operation of the heating equipment. This method can more accurately assess the insulation performance and heating needs of a building, avoid unnecessary energy consumption, and ensure that sufficient heat can be provided promptly when needed.
