Embodiment 1

[0030] Such as figure 1 and image 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a water heater control method, the water heater includes a water storage area and a heating area 1 , and the water storage area communicates with the heating area 1 . The control method of the water heater specifically includes:

[0031] S1. Obtain the water outlet time required for the preset amount of hot water to flow out of the water storage area;

[0032] Hot water reaching a preset water temperature is stored in the water storage area, and the preset water temperature is the temperature of the hot water desired by the user. When the user is in use, the hot water flows out from the water storage area. At this time, the duration of the water output from the beginning of using the hot water to the end of the use is detected. The total amount of hot water consumed by the user during this process is the preset amount.

[0033] S2. Obtain the heating time required for the heating...

Embodiment 2

[0062] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a control device for a water heater, the water heater includes a water storage area and a heating area 1, and the water storage area communicates with the heating area 1; the control device for the water heater includes:

[0063] The first obtaining module is used to obtain the water outlet time required for the preset amount of hot water to flow out from the water storage area; for details, please refer to the step S1 of the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here;

[0064] The second obtaining module is used to obtain the heating time required for the heating zone to heat the preset amount of cold water to the temperature of the hot water; for details, please refer to step S2 of the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here ;

[0065] An adjustment module, configured to adjust the heating power of the heating zone 1 according to the water outlet time and the heating time; wherein, the shortest heati...

Embodiment 3

[0068]An embodiment of the present invention also provides a water heater. The water heater includes that the electronic device may include a processor and a memory, wherein the processor and the memory may be connected through a bus or in other ways, taking the connection through a bus as an example.

Abstract

The invention discloses a water heater control method, a control device and the water heater. The water heater includes a water storage area and a heating area, and the water storage area communicates with the heating area; the control method of the water heater includes: obtaining the The water outlet time required for the preset amount of hot water to flow out of the water storage area; obtain the heating time required for the heating area to heat the preset amount of cold water to the temperature of the hot water; according to the water outlet time and the Adjust the heating power of the heating zone according to the heating duration. With such a setting, the heating power of the heating zone can be adjusted in real time according to the different water consumption conditions of the users, which can ensure the stable supply of hot water to the users. At the same time, it is also possible to prevent the heating zone from maintaining constant heating power for heating, thereby improving the service life of the heating components in the water heater.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a water heater control method, a control device and the water heater. Background technique [0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, many smart appliances have entered people's lives, and water heaters are one of the daily uses of people. Since the existing water heater has only one inner tank, when the user uses hot water through the water heater, as the hot water in the inner tank of the water heater decreases, cold water will be continuously injected into the inner tank of the water heater, so that the water temperature in the inner tank of the water heater will be lowered as a whole. As a result, the water heater cannot provide hot water to the user stably, and the user experience is poor. [0003] In the prior art, some electric water heaters include at least two sub-container units, and multiple sub-container units are arranged in parallel an...
