Abstract

The invention discloses a control method for an electric water heater. The control method comprises the following steps of recording the water utilization information of a user within a preset period, and generating a water utilization habit table of the user, wherein the water consumption, water utilization duration and water utilization set temperature of the user in a plurality of preset time zones within the preset period are recorded in the water utilization habit table; detecting whether a water utilization instruction of the user is received or not; if yes, controlling the electric water heater to enter a corresponding operating mode according to the time zone corresponding to current time and the water utilization habit table for the previous preset period of the current time. According to the method, the electric water heater can be controlled according to specific requirements of the user, so that convenience is brought to the user, and the energy consumption is lowered. The invention further discloses the electric water heater.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of kitchen and bathroom appliances, in particular to an electric water heater and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, electric water heaters have gradually become more popular household appliances. Present electric water heater is generally made up of housing, the liner in the housing, electric heating component, control circuit and water inlet and outlet device. Among them, the function of the control circuit is simple, it only responds to the temperature set by the user, or only has a timing function for several time periods, and the electric water heater cannot supply hot water during the non-water supply period. For volumetric electric water heaters, the water temperature of the inner tank is always kept within a certain range of the set temperature or the maximum temperature, which will cause unnecessary energy loss when the user do...
