These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0044] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0045] A gas water heater is a gas appliance that heats water by transferring heat through combustion to cold water flowing through a heat exchanger. The controller of a gas water heater uses various internally configured parameters to control its operation. Therefore, the configuration of these controller parameters is particularly important during the manufacturing process of gas water heaters.

[0046] In existing technologies, after the hardware of the controller is manufactured, various parameters of the controller need to be manually configured according to the type of gas water heater it is used in. The configured controller is then installed onto the corresponding water heater body, thus completing the production and assembly of the gas water heater. However, this manual operation inevitably leads to low efficiency and a high error rate in configuring the controller parameters.

[0047] The automated configuration method for gas water heater controller parameters provided in this application aims to solve the aforementioned technical problems of the prior art. This method, after detecting that the gas water heater controller is powered on, obtains the identification code of the gas water heater; determines the corresponding configuration parameters of the controller based on the gas water heater identification code; and sends the configuration parameters to the controller so that the controller can configure the parameters accordingly. This method, by obtaining the identification code of the gas water heater and determining the corresponding configuration parameters based on the gas water heater identification code, achieves automated configuration of controller parameters, eliminating the need for manual configuration of various controller parameters according to the type of gas water heater, thus improving the efficiency and accuracy of controller parameter configuration.

[0048] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] Figure 1 This is a system architecture diagram of an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the parameter automatic configuration device 1 scans and obtains the machine code on the gas water heater 2 where the controller 4 is located, which contains the parameters to be configured. Then, it obtains the corresponding configuration parameters from the data storage module 3 corresponding to the machine code. Finally, it sends the obtained configuration parameters to the controller 4 so that the controller 4 can configure the parameters according to the configuration parameters.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of an automated configuration method for controller parameters of a gas water heater according to an embodiment of this application. The execution subject of the automated configuration method for controller parameters of a gas water heater provided in this embodiment can be an automated parameter configuration device or a server. This embodiment describes the automated configuration method for controller parameters of a gas water heater using an automated parameter configuration device as the execution subject. Figure 2 As shown, the automated configuration method for the controller parameters of this gas water heater may include the following steps:

[0052] S101: After detecting that the controller of the gas water heater is powered on, obtain the identification code of the gas water heater where the controller is located.

[0053] In this embodiment, the identification code of the gas water heater can be a code stored within the gas water heater during its manufacturing process. Identifying and parsing this identification code can retrieve the gas water heater type pre-stored in the parameter automatic configuration device. The identification code can be a QR code or a barcode, or any other identification code, as long as the gas water heater can be identified through this code.

[0054] In one embodiment, before obtaining the identification code of the gas water heater where the controller is located in step S101 above, the method may further include: determining whether the controller has a communication fault; when the controller has a communication fault, determining whether there is a communication fault between the controller of the gas water heater and the display; if there is a communication fault between the controller and the display, outputting first communication fault information; if there is no communication fault between the controller and the display, outputting second communication fault information; when the controller does not have a communication fault, performing the step of obtaining the identification code of the gas water heater where the controller is located.

[0055] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the subsequent distribution of configuration parameters to the controller, it is necessary to first determine whether the controller has a communication failure. If the controller has a communication failure, a communication failure message can be output to prompt the staff to carry out timely maintenance.

[0056] Furthermore, to determine the cause of the controller communication failure, it's possible to further investigate whether a communication fault exists between the gas water heater's controller and the display. If a communication fault exists between the controller and the display, it's possible that the entire communication module of the controller is faulty, and the display may also have a communication fault. In this case, a first communication fault message can be output to prompt personnel to promptly repair the communication modules of both the controller and the display. If there is no communication fault between the controller and the display, it's possible that the controller's communication module is unable to respond to the communication connection of the parameter automation configuration device, while the display itself is not experiencing a communication fault. In this case, a second communication fault message can be output to prompt personnel to promptly repair the responsiveness of the controller's communication module.

[0057] It should be noted that the presentation of the first and second communication failure information can be flexibly set by those skilled in the art. For example, the first and second communication failure information can be text information, voice information, or graphic information, without any restrictions.

[0058] In this embodiment, the specific implementation method for determining whether a communication fault exists in the controller can be flexibly set by those skilled in the art, and no restrictions are imposed here. For example, the parameter automation configuration device can send a connection request to the controller; if the controller does not respond, it indicates that a communication fault exists in the controller. Similarly, the specific implementation method for determining whether a communication fault exists between the controller and the display of the gas water heater can be flexibly set by those skilled in the art, and no restrictions are imposed here. For example, the parameter automation configuration device can send a command to the controller to communicate with the display; if the display responds, it indicates that there is no communication fault between the controller and the display, but the response function of the controller's communication module may be malfunctioning. If the display responds, it indicates that a communication fault exists between the controller and the display.

[0059] Optionally, when a communication failure occurs in the controller, a communication failure message can be output first to alert the operator. Only after receiving further instructions from the operator to determine the cause of the failure will the step of determining whether a communication failure exists between the gas water heater's controller and the display be executed. Manual operation increases the necessity for fault diagnosis; some faults have straightforward causes and do not require diagnosis, while others have more complex causes and require diagnosis, thus saving time and improving efficiency.

[0060] Optionally, the instructions input by the staff to further determine the cause of the fault can be a flexible combination of buttons on the automated parameter configuration device. Of course, other implementation methods are also possible, and no restrictions are placed here. For example, the instruction to further determine the cause of the fault could be that the staff presses the plus and minus keys simultaneously for a duration of 3 seconds or more.

[0061] Optionally, when a communication failure occurs in the controller, a communication failure message can be output first. After a certain period of time, the system can automatically execute steps to determine whether a communication failure exists between the gas water heater controller and the display. This setting not only promptly alerts staff to any controller communication failures but also eliminates the need for manual intervention, further enhancing the automation of controller parameter configuration.

[0062] S102: Determine the configuration parameters of the controller based on the identification code of the gas water heater.

[0063] In this embodiment, different types of gas water heaters have different functions and corresponding configuration parameters. Therefore, the configuration parameters of the controller can be determined based on the identification code of the gas water heater.

[0064] In one embodiment, step S102, which determines the configuration parameters corresponding to the controller based on the identification code of the gas water heater, may include: determining the data storage module corresponding to the identification code of the gas water heater based on a preset correspondence between the identification code and the data storage module; and obtaining the configuration parameters in the data storage module.

[0065] In this embodiment, the configuration parameters of different types of gas water heaters can be stored in different data storage modules. The data storage module corresponding to the gas water heater's identification code can be easily and conveniently determined based on the preset correspondence between the identification code and the data storage module. This setup allows for the simple and convenient determination of the parameters that the controller of the gas water heater needs to be configured.

[0066] In one embodiment, after obtaining the configuration parameters in the data storage module, the method may further include: determining whether there is an anomaly in the configuration parameters; if so, determining the display that is communicatively connected to the controller; obtaining the controller configuration parameters in the storage unit of the display, and outputting data storage module fault information.

[0067] In this embodiment, the display's storage unit also stores the controller configuration parameters. Therefore, if the configuration parameters are abnormal, the controller configuration parameters in the display's storage unit can be directly retrieved without manual operation. Even if the configuration parameters are abnormal, the required controller configuration parameters can be retrieved as much as possible, further improving the automation and efficiency of controller parameter configuration.

[0068] In one embodiment, after obtaining the controller configuration parameters in the display's storage unit, the method may further include: determining whether there is an abnormality in the controller configuration parameters; if so, outputting a parameter abnormality prompt message.

[0069] In this embodiment, if the configuration parameters obtained from the data storage module are abnormal, it may be due to a fault in the data storage module or an inherent abnormality in the parameters stored in the data storage module. If the controller configuration parameters obtained from the display's storage unit are also abnormal, it is most likely that the parameters themselves are abnormal, and an abnormal parameter message needs to be output to prompt staff to confirm and modify them.

[0070] Optionally, after obtaining the controller configuration parameters from the display's storage unit, the controller configuration parameters can be rewritten to the data storage module, and then the parameters in the data storage module can be obtained again. If the parameters in the data storage module are normal, it indicates a fault in the data storage module; if the parameters in the data storage module are still abnormal, it indicates an inherent abnormality in the parameters themselves. This setting allows for further determination of the cause of abnormal configuration parameters in the data storage module, prompting staff to conduct more targeted confirmation and repair.

[0071] S103: Send the configuration parameters to the controller so that the controller can configure the parameters according to the configuration parameters.

[0072] In one embodiment, before sending the configuration parameters to the controller in step S103 above, the method may further include: determining the first liter value corresponding to the gas water heater based on the gas water heater's identification code; determining whether the second liter value corresponding to the configuration parameters is consistent with the first liter value; if they are inconsistent, updating the configuration parameters based on the first liter value.

[0073] In this embodiment, identifying and parsing the identification code of the gas water heater can determine the first liter value corresponding to the gas water heater. The second liter value can be determined from the liter parameter in the configuration parameters. If the two match, it indicates that the configuration parameters are correct. This setting allows for a second check to determine if the configuration parameters are correct, further improving the accuracy of parameter configuration.

[0074] Optionally, if the second increment value differs from the first increment value, an increment value error message can be output to prompt staff to promptly modify the parameters corresponding to the increment value. Upon receiving the increment value selection command from the staff, the configuration parameters are updated according to the user-input increment value. A restart can then be used to determine if the parameter update was successful. If unsuccessful, an error message is output to prompt staff to modify the parameters again. This setting improves the accuracy of parameter updates.

[0075] Optionally, the increment selection command input by the operator can be a flexible combination of buttons on the automated parameter configuration device; of course, other implementation methods are also possible, without any restrictions. For example, the increment selection command could be that the operator presses the plus and minus keys simultaneously for a duration of 3 seconds or more.

[0076] Optionally, if the second increment value is inconsistent with the first increment value, an increment value error message can be output first. After a certain period of time, the step of updating the configuration parameters according to the first increment value can be automatically executed. This setting not only promptly alerts staff to parameter errors corresponding to the increment values ​​but also eliminates the need for manual operation, further improving the automation of controller parameter configuration.

[0077] In this embodiment, by obtaining the identification code of the gas water heater where the controller is located, and determining the corresponding configuration parameters of the controller based on the gas water heater's identification code, automated configuration of the controller parameters is achieved. This eliminates the need for manual configuration of various controller parameters according to the type of gas water heater, improving the efficiency and accuracy of controller parameter configuration. Furthermore, if the configuration parameters obtained from the data storage module are abnormal, the controller configuration parameters can be directly obtained from the display's storage unit without manual operation. Even if the configuration parameters are abnormal, the necessary controller configuration parameters can be obtained as much as possible, further improving the automation and efficiency of controller parameter configuration.

The execution subject of the automated configuration method for controller parameters of a gas water heater provided in this embodiment can be an automated parameter configuration device or a server. This embodiment describes the automated configuration method for controller parameters of a gas water heater using an automated parameter configuration device as the execution subject. Figure 3 As shown, the automated configuration method for the controller parameters of this gas water heater may include the following steps:

[0080] S201: After detecting that the gas water heater controller is powered on, obtain the identification code of the gas water heater where the controller is located. In this embodiment, the specific implementation of step S201 is detailed in step S101 of the above embodiment one, and will not be repeated here.

[0081] S202: Determine the configuration parameters corresponding to the controller based on the identification code of the gas water heater. In this embodiment, the specific implementation of step S202 is detailed in step S102 of the above embodiment one, and will not be repeated here.

[0082] S203: Send the configuration parameters to the controller so that the controller can configure the parameters according to the configuration parameters. In this embodiment, the specific implementation of step S203 is detailed in step S103 of the above embodiment one, and will not be repeated here.

[0083] S204: Receives the input operating parameters and sends them to the controller so that the controller can configure the parameters according to the operating parameters.

[0084] S205: Sends an operation command to the controller so that the controller can control the gas water heater to operate according to the configuration parameters and operation parameters after receiving the operation command.

[0085] In this embodiment, the configuration parameters may include combustion status parameters, water heater fan parameters, water heater pump parameters, and gas valve parameters; the operating parameters may include temperature parameters and on / off status parameters.

[0086] S205: Obtain and output the operating status of the gas water heater.

[0087] In this embodiment, the controller requires not only configuration parameters but also operating parameters to control the operation of the gas water heater. Therefore, after sending the configuration parameters to the controller, the operating parameters input by the operator are then sent to the controller. This allows the controller to control the gas water heater based on the configuration and operating parameters upon receiving the operating command. The operating status of the gas water heater is then acquired and output so that the operator can determine whether the controller can control the gas water heater to operate normally. If the gas water heater cannot operate normally, the operator can promptly adjust the controller's configuration and operating parameters, thereby completing the configuration and adjustment of the controller parameters.

[0088] Example 3

[0089] In a specific embodiment, when a gas water heater manufacturer produces a certain type of gas water heater, after the controller of the gas water heater is manufactured, the following steps are taken to configure the parameters of the controller:

[0090] The first step is to determine whether there is a communication fault in the gas water heater controller after it is detected that the controller is powered on. If there is a communication fault, a communication fault message is output. After a certain period of time after outputting the communication fault message, it is determined whether there is a communication fault between the gas water heater controller and the display. If there is a communication fault between the controller and the display, a first communication fault message is output; if there is no communication fault between the controller and the display, a second communication fault message is output.

[0091] The second step is to determine the data storage module corresponding to the gas water heater's identification code based on the preset correspondence between the identification code and the data storage module when there is no communication failure in the controller; and to obtain the configuration parameters in the data storage module.

[0092] The third step is to determine if there are any abnormalities in the configuration parameters. If so, determine the display that is connected to the controller; obtain the controller configuration parameters in the display's storage unit, and output the data storage module fault information.

[0093] The fourth step is to determine if there are any abnormalities in the controller configuration parameters. If so, output a parameter abnormality message.

[0094] Fifth step: If there are no abnormalities in the controller configuration parameters, determine the first liter value corresponding to the gas water heater based on the gas water heater's identification code; determine whether the second liter value corresponding to the configuration parameters is consistent with the first liter value.

[0095] Step 6: If the second liter value is inconsistent with the first liter value, output liter value error information. After a certain period of time after outputting the liter value error information, update the configuration parameters according to the first liter value.

[0096] The seventh step is to send the configuration parameters to the controller so that the controller can configure the parameters according to the configuration parameters.

[0097] The eighth step is to receive the input operating parameters and send them to the controller so that the controller can configure the parameters according to the operating parameters.

[0098] The ninth step is to send an operation command to the controller so that the controller can control the gas water heater to operate according to the configuration parameters and operation parameters after receiving the operation command.

[0099] Step 10: Obtain and output the operating status of the gas water heater so that the staff can determine whether the controller can control the gas water heater to operate normally. If the gas water heater cannot operate normally, the staff can adjust the controller configuration parameters and operating parameters in a timely manner, thereby completing the configuration and adjustment of the controller parameters.
