Abstract

U radu je prikazan razvoj pametnog uređaja za upravljanje ventilom radijatora. Rad započinje pregledom različitih vrsta glava ventila, fokusirajući se pritom na pametne glave s mogućnošću daljinske regulacije temperature i tehnologija koje se za to koriste. Posebna pažnja posvećena je karakteristikama dizajna i kakav bi on trebao biti da bi uređaj bio prikladan za korištenje što većem broju ljudi. Dan je pregled tržišta i patenata te su na temelju istraženog provedeni intervjui sa svrhom utvrđivanja navika korisnika i njihovih preferencija vezanih uz dizajn kako bi se odredile potrebe. Zatim su prikazane sve komponente jednog takvog uređaja na primjeru dva postojeća uređaja koja su rastavljena. Pomoću njih napravljene su funkcijska struktura i model relacija novog proizvoda te je generirana morfološka matrica koja je poslužila za izradu četiri različita koncepta. Njihovim ocjenjivanjem izabran je jedan za daljnju razradu. Definirane su sve komponente bitne za određivanje dimenzija konačnog proizvoda dok je za ostale koje nemaju utjecaja na to, ostavljeno dovoljno prostora za njihovo postavljanje. Konačni proizvod sastoji se od dva dijela koji omogućavaju pregledan prikaz podataka, lako upravljanje različitim funkcijama i mogućnost da se njime ne upravlja nužno nad samim radijatorom. Osim toga, za razliku od ostalih pametnih glava, uređaj nije ovisan o dodatnim jedinicama i Internetskoj vezi te tako predstavlja spoj između nepametnih i pametnih glava.

Abstract (english)

The thesis presents the development of a smart device for radiator valve control. The paper begins with an overview of different types of heads, focusing on smart heads with remote temperature regulation and the technologies that are used for this. Special attention is paid to the characteristics of the design and what it is that makes a device suitable for use for various groups of people. An overview of the market and patents is given and based on collected information, interviews are conducted with the purpose of determining user habits and preferences related to design in order to determine needs of one such device. After that, all the components of one such device are shown on the example of two existing devices that have been disassembled. Using them, the functional structure and model of relations of the new product were created and a morphological matrix was generated, which was used to create four different concepts. Based on their evaluation, one was chosen for further development. All components essential for determining the dimensions of the final product are defined, while for others that have no influence on that, enough space is left for their placement. The final product consists of two parts that enable an overview of the data, easy management of various options and the possibility of not necessarily controlling it over the radiator itself. In addition, unlike other smart heads, it is not dependent on additional units or the Internet connection, thus representing a combination between non-smart and smart heads.
