The embodiment shown in fig. 6 is suitable for the situation that the requirement on the calculation speed of the comparative value is not high and the change of the input voltage is relatively gentle. In the invention, U1 and U0 reflect the flow of the water heater, and the change is smooth, so the invention is suitable.

A freewheeling diode 604 is connected in parallel across the proportional coil 630. The working principle is as follows: the flow of the gas can be changed by changing the opening of the gas proportion adjusting valve, so that the combustion power of the gas water heater is changed, and the temperature of hot water is changed. The method specifically comprises the following steps: when the proportional value control voltage UK is increased, the output voltage UB of the proportional valve driving circuit is increased, the current on the proportional coil 630 is increased, the opening degree of the gas proportional regulating valve is increased, the combustion power of the gas water heater is increased, and the temperature of hot water is increased; when the proportional value control voltage UK is reduced, the output voltage UB of the proportional valve driving circuit is reduced, the current on the proportional coil 630 is reduced, the opening degree of the gas proportional regulating valve is reduced, the combustion power of the gas water heater is reduced, and the temperature of hot water is reduced.
The resistor 602 and the resistor 603 are used for adjusting the range of the output voltage UB of the proportional valve driving circuit, and when the proportional value control voltage UK is equal to the maximum control voltage UM, the maximum control current, i.e., the rated current, flows through the proportional coil 630, so that the opening degree of the gas proportional regulating valve reaches the maximum value.
Other types of drive circuits may be used for the proportional valve drive circuit, such as triode power drive circuits, voltage/PWM conversion and PWM drive circuits, and so forth. The proportional valve drive circuit functions as: when the proportional value control voltage UK increases, the current on the proportional coil 630 is controlled to increase; when the proportional value control voltage UK decreases, the current on the proportional coil 630 is controlled to decrease; when the proportional value control voltage UK is the maximum value UM, the current on the proportional coil 630 is controlled to be the rated current.

The working principle is as follows: after a water outlet faucet of the water heater is turned on, the water control switch 11 is turned on, the controller 10 controls the exhaust fan 14 to work by electrifying, and simultaneously controls the ignition discharge needle 12 to ignite by discharging; slightly delaying to control the electromagnetic valve 15 to suck and open the coal gas; the ignition discharge needle 12 keeps igniting for tens of seconds, so that the ignition reliability is ensured; after the discharge is finished, the flame induction needle 13 is used for determining whether the ignition is successful or not, and the controller 10 controls the maintaining electromagnetic valve 15 to suck and open the coal gas when the ignition is successful through the induction of the flame induction needle 13; when the ignition is not successful, the electromagnetic valve 15 is controlled to bounce, the gas is cut off, and the water heater stops heating.
In order to ensure the safe use of the gas water heater, the gas water heater can also comprise a wind pressure switch 16 and a temperature control switch 17 shown in fig. 9. In the use process of the water heater, if the air pressure switch 16 detects that the exhaust fan is not started, or the temperature control switch 17 detects that the fire is too large and the temperature of the outlet water is too high, or the water control switch 11 detects that the water flow is too small, the electromagnetic valve 15 can be bounced to turn off the gas, and safety accidents are avoided.
When the device of the invention is used in a gas water heater, the control system of the gas water heater consists of the device and the controller 10, the ignition discharge needle 12, the flame induction needle 13, the exhaust fan 14 and the electromagnetic valve 15 of the system shown in figure 9, or can also selectively comprise a wind pressure switch 16 and a temperature control switch 17. The water control switch 11 in the conventional control system of the gas water heater shown in fig. 9 is replaced by a relay gas switch 508 in the device of the present invention, in which a gas proportional regulating valve is installed in the gas pipeline after the electromagnetic valve 15. Since a gas proportional regulating valve and a safety stop valve are usually included in a conventional gas proportional valve assembly, the electromagnetic valve 15 in the conventional control system of the gas water heater shown in fig. 9 preferably uses the safety stop valve in the gas proportional valve assembly, and the gas proportional regulating valve uses the gas proportional regulating valve in the gas proportional valve assembly.
When the device is used for the gas water heater, the controller 10 can use various popular ignition controllers of the gas water heater at present, such as a DKG2 controller, a DKG3 controller, a DHS-B7A controller, a DHS-B7B controller, a HD 7PQA1-CP controller and various other ignition controllers of the gas water heater.
When the device is used for the gas water heater, a control circuit in the device can be combined with the controller 10 to form a new temperature regulation controller. Fig. 10 shows a block diagram of a control system of a gas water heater with a remote temperature adjustment function, which is composed of a temperature adjustment controller 20, an ignition discharge needle 12, a flame sensing needle 13, an exhaust fan 14, an electromagnetic valve 15, a gas proportional adjustment valve 21, a first flow sensor 902, and a second flow sensor 903, or may further include a wind pressure switch 16 and a temperature control switch 17. The temperature controller 20 is composed of a functional circuit in the controller 10 and a control circuit in the apparatus of the present invention, and the control circuit in the apparatus of the present invention includes corresponding circuits in the first flow measuring unit 100, the second flow measuring unit 200, the adder circuit unit 300, the proportional value calculating unit 400, the flow threshold value switching unit 500, and the proportional valve driving unit 600. Similarly, the solenoid valve 15 in fig. 10 preferably uses a safety shut-off valve in a gas proportional valve assembly, and the gas proportional control valve 21 uses a gas proportional control valve in the gas proportional valve assembly.
The above description is only an example of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention, and various modifications and changes may be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
