Description
本發明與瓦斯器具有關，特別是關於一種瓦斯器具的監控方法。The invention relates to gas appliances, and more particularly to a method of monitoring gas appliances.
瓦斯器具，指利用燃燒瓦斯以產生特定作用的裝置，包含有瓦斯熱水器、瓦斯爐、瓦斯烘衣機、瓦斯壁爐等。此類使用於家居生活中的瓦斯器具有很高的安全顧慮，因此在安裝、操作上均有特別的規範。例如：瓦斯熱水器被要求安裝於室外、瓦斯爐有溫度限制以及熄火自動切斷瓦斯的安全裝置。Gas appliance refers to a device that uses combustion gas to produce a specific effect, including a gas water heater, a gas stove, a gas dryer, a gas fireplace, and the like. Such gas devices used in home life have high safety concerns, and therefore have special specifications for installation and operation. For example, a gas water heater is required to be installed outdoors, a gas furnace has a temperature limit, and a safety device that automatically shuts off the gas when the flame is turned off.
一般而言，使用者必須到瓦斯器具的安裝位置方能操作該瓦斯器具。但是對於安裝在室外的瓦斯熱水器，要使用者在寒冷的氣候中到室外去操作熱水器是一件非常困擾的事。為此，業者曾開發出一種遙控器，讓使用者在室內即可控制瓦斯熱水器的啟閉、溫度設定以及其他事項。In general, the user must be in the installation position of the gas appliance to operate the gas appliance. However, for a gas water heater installed outdoors, it is very troublesome for the user to operate the water heater outdoors in a cold climate. To this end, the industry has developed a remote control that allows users to control the opening and closing, temperature setting and other matters of the gas water heater indoors.
在某些情形下，前述的瓦斯器具需要被預先開啟才會有預定的作用，例如在非常寒冷的氣候下，瓦斯壁爐最好在使用者到家之前的幾個小時即預先開啟，如此使用者到家時即會有溫暖的空間。此種情形並無法利用前述的遙控器來解決，因為此種遙控器只能在有限的距離內進行控制瓦斯器具。In some cases, the aforementioned gas appliance needs to be pre-opened to have a predetermined effect. For example, in a very cold climate, the gas fireplace is preferably pre-opened a few hours before the user arrives home, so that the user arrives home. There will be warm space at the moment. This situation cannot be solved by the aforementioned remote controller because such a remote control can only control gas appliances within a limited distance.
此外，一般家居生活中通常配置有多具的瓦斯器具，每一瓦斯器具皆有專用的遙控器，該情形不僅造成遙控器的收置不易，更常因誤認而造成使用上的困擾。In addition, in general, home life is usually equipped with a variety of gas appliances, each gas appliance has a dedicated remote control, this situation not only makes the remote control is not easy to collect, more often caused by misunderstanding and use.
在瓦斯器具發生異常時，使用者只知道瓦斯器具 無法運作，並不知道何處發生異常。當需要觀看瓦斯器具的使用手冊時，往往已忘記使用手冊被收藏在何處，因此，亦不知該如何處理；要連絡業者維修時，又無法立刻找到業者的連絡方式，而延誤瓦斯器具修復的時間。When an abnormality occurs in a gas appliance, the user only knows the gas appliance. Unable to work, I don't know where an exception occurred. When you need to watch the manual of the gas appliance, you often forget where the manual is stored, so you don't know what to do; when you contact the repairer, you can't find the contact method of the operator immediately, and delay the repair of the gas appliance. time.
本發明之主要目的在於提供一種瓦斯器具的監控方法，可在遠距離控制使用瓦斯器具，並在瓦斯器具發生異常時，使用者可立刻得知服務資訊。The main object of the present invention is to provide a method for monitoring a gas appliance, which can control the use of a gas appliance at a remote distance, and when an abnormality occurs in the gas appliance, the user can immediately know the service information.
為達成前述之發明目的，本發明所提供之瓦斯器具的監控方法，其中具有至少一瓦斯器具連接一中繼器，該中繼器透過一網路連接一遠端控制器，該遠端控制器具有一螢幕，該監控方法包含下列步驟：在該遠端控制器上輸入一指令；經由該網路將該指令傳送至該中繼器；依據該指令產生一控制訊號，並將該控制訊號傳輸至該瓦斯器具，以對該瓦斯器具進行控制；偵測該瓦斯器具運作中的若干數據；以及分析該等數據，並在該等數據中至少一者被判讀為異常時，產生一服務資訊並顯示於該遠端控制器的螢幕上。In order to achieve the foregoing object, the present invention provides a method for monitoring a gas appliance, wherein at least one gas appliance is connected to a repeater, and the repeater is connected to a remote controller through a network, the remote controller has There is a screen, the monitoring method comprises the steps of: inputting an instruction on the remote controller; transmitting the command to the repeater via the network; generating a control signal according to the command, and transmitting the control signal to The gas appliance controls the gas appliance; detects a plurality of data in the operation of the gas appliance; and analyzes the data, and generates a service information and displays when at least one of the data is interpreted as abnormal On the screen of the remote controller.
藉此，可整合家中不同型態的瓦斯器具，並且只需要利用一般常見的設備，例如手機、電腦，作為遠端控制器，即可在遠端遙控家中的瓦斯器具，並且在發生異常時可透過螢幕得知瓦斯器具的服務資訊，以利使用者做進一步的處理，有效地縮短瓦斯器具等待修復的時間。In this way, different types of gas appliances in the home can be integrated, and only a common device such as a mobile phone or a computer can be used as a remote controller to remotely control the gas appliance in the home, and in the event of an abnormality, The service information of the gas appliance is known through the screen, so that the user can further process and effectively shorten the time for the gas appliance to wait for repair.
