Abstract

The invention provides a water heater and a control method thereof. The water heater comprises an operation interface with a display area and multiple functional keys, a scanner and a controller. The display area is used for displaying current parameters and a current working mode of the water heater, and the functional keys include an on-off functional key. The scanner is used for receiving gestures inputted by a user. After judging that the on-off functional key is triggered, the controller is used for controlling the water heater to enter working modes corresponding to the gestures according to the gestures inputted by the user. By the water heater and the control method thereof, the gestures of the user can be recognized, the water heater is enabled to enter the working modes corresponding to the gestures selectively, operation is simplified, switching is rapid, and the problem that the water heater is incapable of recognizing selections of the user due to objective reasons is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrical appliances, in particular to a water heater and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] In a variety of home appliances, it is desirable to replace traditional electro-mechanical controls, such as knobs, switches, sliders, buttons, etc., with comparable control systems utilizing computer user interfaces. Therefore, touch screen devices have gradually been widely used in household appliances. [0003] However, in the related art, touch screen devices are used in household appliances such as water heaters, because touch screen devices usually use capacitive touch screens. At this time, since the user's hands often have water, if the touch screen is directly touched, the capacitive touch screen will fail, and the user's choice cannot be recognized, which brings great inconvenience to the user. Contents of the invention [0004] The object of the present invention is to solve th...
