[0041] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

Therefore, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0043] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the term "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean internal communication between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood by those skilled in the art in specific circumstances.

[0044] As described in the background technology above, in order to meet the heating needs of multiple rooms, a heating grading device and a corresponding room thermostat are installed for each room in the heating system, which makes the installation of the heating system cumbersome and the equipment bloated. The control and scheduling flexibility of the heating system is poor, and the temperature of each room cannot be quickly adjusted.

[0045] Based on this, the utility model provides a room controller and heating system, which obtains data from all thermostats in all heating systems through a radio frequency communication unit, and controls the heating of all heating areas by setting a water pump switch in the switch unit that is connected one-to-one with the water pumps in the heating areas, thereby simplifying the system structure of the heating system, improving the flexibility of the control and scheduling of the heating system, and realizing rapid adjustment of the temperature of each heating area.

[0046] The following combination Figures 1 to 5 , describing the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0047] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, a heating system is provided. Figure 1Schematic diagram of a heating system according to this embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a heating device, a room controller, and a thermostat cluster. The heating device is used to provide heat to multiple heating zones and is equipped with multiple water pumps, each corresponding to a specific heating zone. The room controller is connected to each of the multiple water pumps and controls the start and stop of the pumps to control the heating supply to the corresponding heating zones.

[0048] In this embodiment, the thermostat cluster includes a main thermostat and a sub-thermostat. All sub-thermostats are connected to the main thermostat, and the main thermostat is connected to the sub-room controller. At the same time, the main thermostat and the sub-thermostat correspond to multiple heating zones one by one, and respectively control the temperature of the corresponding heating zones. The main thermostat is used to receive heating adjustment requests from the sub-thermostats, and to send the heating adjustment requests of the main thermostat and / or sub-thermostat to the sub-room controller. In this way, the main thermostat serves as a transfer station for communication and information transmission between the sub-thermostat and the sub-room controller. The main thermostat can filter the information transmitted by the sub-thermostat, filter out the relevant data required by the sub-room controller, such as the relevant data of the heating adjustment request, and only send this data to the sub-room controller, thereby reducing the data received by the sub-room controller, so that the sub-room controller can directly control the start and stop of the water pump based on the received data, improving the sub-room controller's data processing efficiency and response efficiency to heating adjustment requests, and enabling the sub-room controller to quickly adjust the temperature of each heating zone.

[0049] In one embodiment, the heating device includes a heating module and a heating pipeline, and multiple water pumps are respectively arranged on the heating pipeline; optionally, the heating module can be a wall-mounted boiler. The heating pipeline is connected to the heating module and is also connected to each heating zone, so that the heating of the heating module is delivered to each heating zone. The water pump is used to control the heating of the corresponding heating zone by the heating module; when the water pump is turned on, the heating device is connected to the heating pipeline connected to the heating zone corresponding to the water pump, and the heating device can provide heating to the heating zone; when the water pump is turned off, the heating pipeline is disconnected from the heating pipeline connected to the heating zone corresponding to the water pump, and the heating device cannot provide heating to the heating zone. Therefore, by controlling the water pump, the heating of the heating device to each heating zone can be controlled, and there is no need to install heating grading equipment in each heating zone, thereby simplifying the structure of the heating system.

[0050] In one embodiment, the water pump can be installed near the heating device and the room controller. On the one hand, there is no need to install a corresponding water pump in each heating area, which facilitates installation. On the other hand, it also facilitates troubleshooting and maintenance of the heating system.

[0051] In one embodiment, the main thermostat, sub-thermostat, and sub-room controllers are all equipped with radio frequency communication units. These units connect the main thermostat to the sub-thermostats, and the sub-room controllers, respectively, using the radio frequency communication units. This allows the main thermostat to serve as a relay station for information transmission and communication between the sub-thermostats and sub-room controllers. Furthermore, the main thermostat is equipped with a Wi-Fi communication unit, which connects it to the cloud, synchronizing data from each thermostat in the temperature-controlled room cluster to the cloud.

[0052] In one embodiment, a WIFI communication unit may also be provided in the heating device, and the heating device is connected to the cloud through the WIFI communication unit, so that the working status and related data of the heating device are synchronized to the cloud.

[0053] In one embodiment, after synchronizing the data of each thermostat and heating device, the cloud can display this data to the user in the form of application software, etc. The user can adjust the data of the thermostat and heating device through the application software, such as adjusting the heating temperature of the heating area corresponding to a certain thermostat, turning off the heating of the heating area corresponding to a certain thermostat, etc.

[0054] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the other hand, a room controller is provided, which is applied to the heating system as described above. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a room controller in a heating system of this embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the sub-room controller includes a control unit 1, a radio frequency communication unit, and a switch unit 2. The control unit 1 is in communication with the radio frequency communication unit and the switch unit 2 in the sub-room controller, respectively. The control unit 1 receives the heating adjustment request sent by the main thermostat via the radio frequency communication unit, thereby generating a corresponding switch instruction to control the operation of the switch unit 2. The switch unit 2 includes multiple water pump switches 21, each of which is connected to a water pump. The water pumps correspond one-to-one with the heating zones, and thus the water pump switches 21 also correspond one-to-one with the heating zones. By controlling the operation of the water pump switches 21, the water pumps are turned on and off, thereby controlling the heating to the corresponding heating zones.

[0055] In one embodiment, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the switch unit 2 in a heating system of this embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, in addition to the water pump switch 21, the switch unit 2 also includes a driver chip 22. The input end of the driver chip 22 is connected to the control unit 1 for receiving switch commands sent by the control unit 1; the output end of the driver chip 22 is respectively connected to the multiple water pump switches 21 for controlling the operation of the multiple water pump switches 21 based on the received switch commands.

[0056] In one embodiment, the input end of the driver chip 22 includes multiple input pins, and the output end of the driver chip 22 includes multiple output pins. The multiple input pins correspond one-to-one with the multiple output pins. The driver chip 22 controls the output pin corresponding to the input pin to connect to the water pump switch 21 based on the switch command received by the input pin.

[0057] In one embodiment, Figure 4 This is a circuit diagram of a water pump switch 21 in a heating system of this embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, a water pump switch 21 includes a relay KM1, a light-emitting diode D1, and a first resistor R1. One end of the drive coil of relay KM1 is connected to a power source, and the other end of the drive coil of relay KM1 is connected to the output of a driver chip 22. The contact switches of relay KM1 are connected one-to-one with the water pumps. When an input pin of the driver chip 22 receives a switch instruction indicating an open state, the output pin corresponding to the input pin outputs a high level, generating current in the drive coil of relay KM1, attracting the contacts in the contact switch, closing the contact switch, and thus turning on the water pump and providing heat to the heating zone corresponding to the water pump. When an input pin of the driver chip 22 receives a switch instruction indicating an off state, the output pin corresponding to the input pin outputs a low level, eliminating current in the drive coil of relay KM1, causing the contacts in the contact switch to open, and thus turning off the water pump and stopping heating to the heating zone corresponding to the water pump.

[0058] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, one end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the power supply and one end of the drive coil of relay KM1. The other end of the first resistor R1 is connected to one end of a light-emitting diode D1. The other end of the light-emitting diode D1 is connected to the output of the driver chip 22 and the other end of the drive coil of relay KM1. The first resistor R1 acts as a protective resistor, protecting the light-emitting diode D1 from breakdown. The light-emitting diode D1 is used to indicate the on / off status of the corresponding relay KM1 and water pump. When the output pin of the driver chip 22 outputs a high level, the light-emitting diode D1 conducts in the forward direction, indicating that the relay KM1 and the water pump are on. When the output pin of the driver chip 22 outputs a low level, the light-emitting diode D1 conducts in the negative direction, indicating that the relay KM1 is off and the water pump is off.

[0059] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the switch unit 2 may include a plurality of driver chips 22. The number of driver chips 22 is configured accordingly according to the number of heating zones set in the heating system and the number of water pump switches 21 that the driver chips 22 can control. Figure 3For example, there are 8 water pumps in the heating system, that is, there are 8 heating areas. One driver chip 22 can control 7 water pump switches 21, so 2 driver chips 22 need to be configured in the switch unit 2 to control 8 water pumps.

[0060] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the switch unit 2 may further include a linkage switch; one end of the linkage switch is connected to the output of the driver chip 22, and the other end of the linkage switch is connected to a heating device in the heating system. The linkage switch is used to send a switch command to the heating device, instructing it to turn on or off. Similarly, a relay is connected between the linkage switch and the output of the driver chip 22. The linkage switch is controlled in the same manner as the water pump, and will not be further described here.

[0061] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the switch unit 2 may further include a three-way valve switch, one end of which is connected to the output terminal of the driver chip 22, and the other end is connected to a three-way valve corresponding to the water valve; the three-way valve corresponding to the water valve is installed near the water valve of the heating system. Similarly, the three-way valve switch may be a relay. The control of the three-way valve switch and the three-way valve is the same as the control of the water pump switch 21 and the water pump, and will not be repeated here.

[0062] In one embodiment, the compartment controller may further include a function switching unit, which is connected to the control unit 1 . Figure 5 This is a circuit diagram of a function switching unit in a heating system according to this embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, the function switching unit is provided with a mode switching button SW1 and a function switching button SW2.

[0063] The mode switch button SW1 switches the heating system's operating mode, which includes automatic mode, full-on mode, and full-off mode. Automatic mode controls the water pump switch 21 based on heating control requests sent by the main and sub-thermostats. Full-on mode turns the water pump, linkage switch, and three-way valve all on, while full-off mode turns the water pump, linkage switch, and three-way valve all off. Full-on and full-off modes are typically used during heating system commissioning and troubleshooting to verify the proper functioning of the water pump, linkage switch, and three-way valve. One end of the mode switch button SW1 is grounded, while the other end is connected to one end of a second resistor R2 and one end of a third resistor R3. The other end of the third resistor R3 is connected to a power source. The other end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the control unit 1, transmitting the KEY1 signal corresponding to the mode switch button SW1 to the control unit 1. The second resistor R2 acts as a protection resistor to ensure circuit safety, while the third resistor R3 acts as a pull-up resistor, pulling the signal output to the control unit 1 to a high level when the mode switch button SW1 is not pressed.

[0064] The function switch button SW2 can switch the control functions of the relay, including relay state switching, delay switching, and end-of-line delay switching. The relay state switching function switches the control mode for different relay modes. Since the switch instructions corresponding to different relay circuits are different, for example, some relay circuits give a signal quantity "1" to open the relay, while others give a signal quantity "1" to close the relay. In this case, the relay control mode is switched to adjust the switch instructions output to the relay circuit. The delay switching function corresponds to a control method that delays a preset time after receiving the switch instruction before opening or closing the relay. The end-of-line delay switch function corresponds to a control method that controls the last closed relay to close after a preset delay. One end of the function switch button SW2 is grounded, and the other end of the function switch button SW2 is connected to one end of the fourth resistor R4 and one end of the fifth resistor R5. The other end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the power supply. The other end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the control unit 1, and transmits the KEY2 signal corresponding to the function switch button SW2 to the control unit 1. The fourth resistor R4 serves as a protection resistor to protect the circuit. The fifth resistor R5 serves as a pull-up resistor to pull the signal output to the control unit 1 to a high level when the function switching button SW2 is not pressed.

[0065] In one embodiment, the compartment controller may further include an indicator light unit, which is connected to the control unit 1. The indicator light unit includes a plurality of indicator lights, which correspond one to one with the heating areas, and are used to indicate whether the heating of the corresponding heating areas is turned on. Optionally, the indicator light unit may also include indicator lights indicating other states, such as indicator lights indicating the pairing status of the main thermostat and the sub-thermostat, and the main thermostat and the compartment controller, fault alarm lights, and mode selection lights, etc.; the functions of the indicator lights specifically included therein can be adjusted according to actual needs and are not specifically limited here.

[0066] In one embodiment, the sub-room controller may further include a buzzer connected to the control unit 1, which emits a corresponding prompt sound when the user performs a key operation. Optionally, the buzzer will emit prompt sounds with different sound effects for different key operations to indicate different operations of the user.

[0067] In one embodiment, the compartment controller may further include a power supply unit configured to convert AC power into DC power. The power supply unit may be a combination of a rectifier circuit, a buck-boost circuit, and a voltage regulator circuit. The rectifier circuit is configured to convert AC power into DC power, the buck-boost circuit is configured to boost or buck the DC voltage to obtain the voltage required by the compartment controller, and the voltage regulator circuit is configured to maintain a stable DC voltage to prevent fluctuations. The circuit structures of the rectifier circuit, the buck-boost circuit, and the voltage regulator circuit are not specifically limited herein.

[0068] The room controller of this embodiment obtains data from all thermostats in all heating systems through a radio frequency communication unit. By setting a water pump switch 21 in the switch unit 2 that is connected one-to-one with the water pumps in the heating area, it can control the heating of all heating areas, thereby simplifying the system structure of the heating system, improving the flexibility of the control and scheduling of the heating system, and realizing rapid adjustment of the temperature of each heating area.

In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the above-mentioned technical features are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0070] The specific contents of the above-mentioned specific embodiments only express several embodiments of the present invention. Although the description is relatively specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
