[0025] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] This application discloses a heat metering system for heating pipelines.

[0027] Reference Figure 1The heating pipeline heat metering system includes a solar panel 1, a battery 2, a heat metering instrument 3, a control module 4, a wireless transmission module 5, a wireless receiving module 6, and a monitoring platform 7.

[0028] Solar panel 1 is installed on the outer wall of the heating pipe. Solar panel 1 is used to absorb solar energy and convert solar energy into electrical energy.

[0029] Battery 2 is electrically connected to solar panel 1, and battery 2 can store the electrical energy generated by solar panel 1.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 The heat meter 3 is electrically connected to both the solar panel 1 and the battery 2. The electrical energy generated by the solar panel 1 can directly power the heat meter 3, and the electrical energy stored in the battery 2 can also power the heat meter 3. The heat meter 3 can measure data such as heat, flow rate, and temperature on the heating pipeline and generate heating pipeline data from the measured data.

[0031] The control module 4 is electrically connected to both the solar panel 1 and the battery 2. The electrical energy generated by the solar panel 1 can directly power the control module 4, and the electrical energy stored in the battery 2 can also power the control module 4.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 The wireless transmission module 5 is electrically connected to both the solar panel 1 and the battery 2. The wireless transmission module 5 is used to transmit data from the heating pipeline. Simultaneously, the wireless transmission module 5 is also electrically connected to the control module 4, which controls the wireless transmission module 5. The electrical energy generated by the solar panel 1 can directly power the wireless transmission module 5, and the electrical energy stored in the battery 2 can also power the wireless transmission module 5.

[0033] When in use, if there is insufficient sunlight and the power generation of the solar panel 1 is insufficient to maintain the operation of the control module 4, the heat meter 3, and the wireless transmission module 5, the control module 4 controls the battery 2 to supply power to the control module 4, the heat meter 3, and the wireless transmission module 5.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 The wireless receiving module 6 is wirelessly connected to the wireless transmission module 5. The wireless receiving module 6 can use mains power and is used to receive heating pipeline data sent by the wireless transmission module 5.

[0035] The monitoring platform 7 is electrically connected to the wireless receiving module 6. The monitoring platform 7 can display the heating pipeline data received by the wireless receiving module. Specifically, since heat metering instruments 3 are usually installed at different locations on the heating pipeline, there will be multiple sets of heating pipeline data. The monitoring platform 7 can display the heating pipeline data at different locations on the heating pipeline so that professional technicians can understand it.

[0036] Typically, the monitoring platform 7 has a display screen showing the heating pipeline data. Technicians can view and access data at specific locations along the heating pipelines, perform data analysis, and adjust parameters such as temperature and flow rate accordingly, including but not limited to increasing or decreasing the heating temperature or flow rate while maintaining the same temperature or flow rate. Technicians can also adjust the status of the heat metering instruments and wireless transmission module via the control module, including but not limited to operating parameters and detection frequency, to maintain system stability. In extreme weather conditions, the detection frequency of the heat metering instrument 3 is increased. This system automatically switches power supply based on factors such as sunlight and automatically adjusts the detection frequency of the heat metering instruments according to weather conditions, optimizing energy efficiency.

[0037] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 The system also includes a display module 8, which is electrically connected to the control module 4 and the battery 2. The display module 8 can display the heating pipeline data on the heat metering instrument 3, which is electrically connected to the current control module 4, and can be viewed by on-site maintenance personnel or construction personnel.

[0038] The system also includes a thermoelectric power generation module 9, which is electrically connected to the battery 2. The thermoelectric power generation module 9 is laid on the outer wall of the heating pipe and generates electricity based on the temperature difference between the heating pipe and the outside.

[0039] When in use, on sunny days, the solar panel 1 can absorb solar energy to generate electricity, and the solar panel 1 can directly power the control module 4, the heat metering instrument 3, the wireless transmission module 5, and the display module 8. If there is excess electrical energy, it can be stored in the battery 2.

[0040] If it is cloudy during the day or the power supply of solar panel 1 is insufficient, battery 2 and thermoelectric generator 9 can also supply power to control module 4, heat metering instrument 3, wireless transmission module 5 and display module 8;

[0041] Because the temperature difference between the air and the heating pipes is smaller during the day than at night, the thermoelectric power generation module 9 generates less power. Therefore, during the day, the solar panel 1 and the battery 2 are mainly used for power supply. At night, the solar panel 1 generates almost no power, while the thermoelectric power generation module 9 generates relatively more power. The thermoelectric power generation module 9 and the battery 2 can be used to power the control module 4, the heat metering instrument 3, the wireless transmission module 5, and the display module 8, thereby maintaining the normal operation of the control module 4, the heat metering instrument 3, the wireless transmission module 5, and the display module 8.

[0042] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
