Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of drinking water devices, in particular to a boiling point recognition method of a water dispenser, a boiling point recognition device of a water dispenser, a water dispenser and a storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] The instant heating technology is applied to the water dispenser, which has the advantages of energy saving, instant heating, product size reduction, high space adaptability, cost, etc., and therefore is widely used in the water dispenser. Since the altitude of the user's location is different, the boiling point of the water at the user's location is also different. If the instant water dispenser cannot recognize the local boiling point, it can only output water at a unified target temperature. For example, if the water dispenser outputs water at a target temperature of 95 degrees, when the local boiling point of the user is lower than 95 degrees, the actual output water temperature (95 degrees) is higher than the local boiling point, and the water will be sprayed and boiled with steam, which will cause the water to be unable to be output, or splashed, or sprayed with steam, etc., affecting the water experience, and even causing the user to be scalded by the splashed steam.

[0052] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples; such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. In addition, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention, but those skilled in the art will recognize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0053] Currently, due to varying altitudes at which water dispenser users are located, the boiling point of water in those locations also differs. In my country, for example, the boiling point can range from 89 to 100 degrees Celsius. While instant water dispensers typically have a boiling point setting, the boiling point varies depending on the user's region. Instant water dispensers cannot identify the local boiling point and can only dispense water at a uniform target temperature. For instance, if the dispenser uniformly dispenses water at a target temperature of 95 degrees Celsius, a user whose local boiling point is below 95 degrees Celsius will experience problems such as water not dispensing, splashing, or steam spraying because the actual water temperature (95 degrees Celsius) is higher than the local boiling point. This negatively impacts the user experience and could even cause scalding due to splashing or steam.

[0054] However, adding a pressure sensor to the control board can identify the local air pressure and convert it into boiling point using a specific algorithm. This allows for a design where the outlet water temperature is linked to the local boiling point to solve the problem. For example, if the local boiling point is identified as 95 degrees Celsius, the maximum outlet water temperature can be limited to 90 degrees Celsius. If the boiling point is 90 degrees Celsius, the maximum temperature can be limited to 85 degrees Celsius, and so on. However, this increases the material cost of the pressure sensor, which is detrimental to product cost control.

[0055] In view of this, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a boiling point identification method for a water dispenser 100. The water dispenser 100 includes a water pump 10, an instant heating pipe 20, a heating module 30, and a temperature recording module 40. The instant heating pipe 20 is connected to the water pump 10, the heating module 30 is wound around the instant heating pipe 20, and the temperature recording module 40 includes an inlet water temperature detection unit 41 and an outlet water temperature detection unit 42. The inlet water temperature detection unit 41 is located at the inlet 21 of the instant heating pipe 20, and the outlet water temperature detection unit 42 is located at the outlet 22 of the instant heating pipe 20. The boiling point identification method includes:

[0056] S10: Enable temperature recording module;

[0057] S20: Controls the water pump to operate for a first preset time to supply water to the instant heating pipeline;

[0058] S30: Control the heating module to heat for a second preset time so that the water in the instantaneous heating pipeline boils;

[0059] S40: After a third preset time interval, control the water pump to operate for a fourth preset time and control the heating module to heat for a second preset time, causing the water in the instant heating pipeline to boil; and

[0060] S50: Determine the boiling point temperature based on the outlet water temperature recorded by the temperature recording module.

[0061] Please see Figure 3This application also provides a boiling point identification device 110 for a water dispenser 100. The boiling point identification device 110 includes an activation module 111, a first control module 112, a second control module 113, a third control module 114, and a determination module 115. Specifically, S10 can be implemented by the activation module 111, S20 can be implemented by the first control module 112, S30 can be implemented by the second control module 113, S40 can be implemented by the third control module 114, and S50 can be implemented by the determination module 115. That is, the activation module 111 is used to activate the temperature recording module 40, the first control module 112 is used to control the water pump 10 to work for a first preset time to supply water to the instant heating pipeline 20, the second control module 113 is used to control the heating module 30 to heat for a second preset time to make the water in the instant heating pipeline 20 boil, the third control module 114 is used to control the water pump 10 to work for a fourth preset time after a third preset time interval and control the heating module 30 to heat for a second preset time to make the water in the instant heating pipeline 20 boil, and the determination module 115 is used to determine the boiling point temperature based on the outlet water temperature recorded by the temperature recording module 40.

[0062] This application also provides a water dispenser 100, which includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores a computer program. When the computer program is executed by the processor, the processor is used to turn on the temperature recording module 40, control the water pump 10 to work for a first preset time to supply water to the instant heating pipe 20, control the heating module 30 to heat for a second preset time to make the water in the instant heating pipe 20 boil, control the water pump 10 to work for a fourth preset time after a third preset time interval and control the heating module 30 to heat for a second preset time to make the water in the instant heating pipe 20 boil, and determine the boiling point temperature based on the outlet water temperature recorded by the temperature recording module 40.

[0063] Specifically, a water pump 10 is connected to an instant heating pipe 20. The water pump 10 is used to deliver water to the instant heating pipe 20. The instant heating pipe 20 may include an inlet 21, an outlet 22, and an instant heating pipe 23. The inlet 21 of the instant heating pipe 20 is connected to both the water pump 10 and the instant heating pipe 23. That is, the water pump 10 can deliver water to the instant heating pipe 23 through the inlet 21. A heating module 30 is wound around the instant heating pipe 23. The heating module 30 is used to heat the instant heating pipe 23. That is, the heating module 30 can heat the water in the instant heating pipe 23 by heating the instant heating pipe 23. The outlet 22 is connected to the end of the instant heating pipe 23 away from the inlet 21. The outlet 22 is used to output the water in the instant heating pipe 23. The temperature recording module 40 can be an NTC thermistor sensor or a thermistor capacitive sensor. For example, if the temperature recording module 40 is an NTC thermistor sensor, the NTC thermistor sensor is a negative temperature coefficient thermistor, that is, a sensor resistor whose resistance decreases as the temperature increases. That is, as the temperature of the heating pipe 20 increases, the resistance of the NTC thermistor sensor decreases, and the internal water temperature of the heating pipe 20 is calculated based on the change in resistance. The temperature recording module 40 includes an inlet water temperature detection unit 41 and an outlet water temperature detection unit 42. The inlet water temperature detection unit 41 is located at the inlet 21 and is used to detect the temperature of the inlet 21. The outlet water temperature detection unit 42 is located at the outlet 22 and is used to detect the temperature of the outlet 22.

[0064] Furthermore, the user can activate the boiling point recognition function of the water dispenser 100 by clicking the corresponding button, thereby activating the temperature recording module 40, which then monitors and records the water temperature of the instant heating pipe 20 in real time. With the temperature recording module 40 activated, the first control module 112 can control the water pump 10 to begin supplying water to the instant heating pipe 20 and continuously supply water for a first preset time until the instant heating pipe 20 is full of water. The first preset time can be determined based on the water flow rate of the water pump 10 and the volume of the instant heating pipe 20. For example, the volume of the instant heating pipe 20 can be one liter, and the water flow rate of the water pump 10 can be ten seconds per liter; that is, the first preset time can be ten seconds.

[0065] With the instant heating pipe 20 filled with water, the heating module 30 begins to heat the instant heating pipe 20 and continues to heat it for a second preset time, causing the water in the instant heating pipe 20 to boil. The second preset time can be a fixed time or calculated. For example, the second preset time can be set to 10 seconds, that is, the heating module 30 heats for a fixed 10 seconds to make the water in the instant heating pipe 20 boil.

[0066] When the water in the instant heating pipe 20 is heated to boiling, the water will vaporize, causing the internal pressure of the instant heating pipe 20 to increase. Since pressure and boiling point are positively correlated, the increased pressure leads to a corresponding increase in the local boiling point within the pipe. By controlling the heating module 30 to stop heating for a third preset time, the internal pressure of the instant heating pipe 20 can be released, thereby ensuring the accuracy and validity of the boiling point recorded by the temperature recording module 40. The third preset time can be configured according to actual conditions and is not limited here.

[0067] After heating stops for a third preset time, the water pump 10 can be controlled to supply water to the instant heating pipe 20 for a fourth preset time to fill the instant heating pipe 20 with water. When the instant heating pipe 20 is full of water, the heating module 30 is controlled to heat again for a second preset time, causing the water in the instant heating pipe 20 to boil. Furthermore, the boiling point temperature of the water can be determined based on the outlet water temperature detected by the outlet water temperature detection unit 42. It is understandable that if the water in the instant heating pipe 20 vaporizes, the water in the instant heating pipe 20 will not be full, and continued heating will result in the instant heating pipe 20 becoming dry.

[0068] This application sets up a temperature recording module 40, a water pump 10, an instant heating pipe 20, and a heating module 30. The water pump 10 inputs water into the instant heating pipe 20, and the heating module 30 heats the instant heating pipe 20 to make the water boil. The temperature recording module 40 records the temperature when the water boils, thereby obtaining the boiling point of the water. The maximum water outlet temperature of the water dispenser 100 is determined by the boiling point, which prevents the water from spraying out of the dispenser while outputting water at the highest possible temperature, thus achieving a better user experience.

[0069] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, S30 includes:

[0070] S31: Obtain the inlet / outlet water temperature of the instant heating pipeline;

[0071] S32: Calculate and generate a second preset time based on the inlet / outlet water temperature, volume, preset power of the heating module, and target outlet water temperature of the instant heating pipeline;

[0072] S33: Control the heating module to heat for a second preset time at a preset power, so that the water in the instant heating pipeline boils.

[0073] In some implementations, S31, S32 and S33 can be implemented by the second control module 113. That is, the second control module 113 is used to obtain the inlet water temperature / outlet water temperature of the instant heating pipe 20, and to calculate and generate a second preset time based on the inlet water temperature / outlet water temperature, volume, preset power of heating module 30 and target outlet water temperature of the instant heating pipe 20, and to control heating module 30 to heat the water in the instant heating pipe 20 at preset power for the second preset time, so that the water in the instant heating pipe 20 boils.

[0074] In some embodiments, the processor is used to obtain the inlet / outlet water temperature of the instant heating pipe 20, and to calculate and generate a second preset time based on the inlet / outlet water temperature, volume, preset power of the heating module 30 and target outlet water temperature of the instant heating pipe 20, and to control the heating module 30 to heat the second preset time at the preset power, so that the water in the instant heating pipe 20 boils.

[0075] Specifically, the water temperature T at the outlet 22 or the inlet 21 can be obtained from the inlet water temperature detection unit 41 or the outlet water temperature detection unit 42. Based on the temperature T, the preset power P of the heating module 30, and the volume V of the heating pipe 20, the total time t for heating the water in the current instantaneous heating pipe 20 to 100 degrees Celsius can be calculated.

[0076] Q = Pt = cmΔT

[0077]

[0078] Where c is the specific heat capacity of water, c is a constant of 4200 (J / (kg·℃); ρ is the density of water, 1000 kg / m³. 3 According to the density formula, m = ρV, the preset power is negatively correlated with the outlet water temperature / heating time.

[0079] When the second preset time is obtained, the heating module 30 is controlled to heat the instant heating pipe 20 with a preset power for the second preset time, so that the water in the instant heating pipe 20 boils.

[0080] It should be noted that the preset power can be a fixed power value, or a relationship function can be designed to link power with water temperature or time as needed. For example, the preset power is 600W for the first 0-1 seconds, 500W for the first 1-2 seconds, and 500W for the second 2-3 seconds. t represents time, i.e., the output power.

[0081] P = f(t)

[0082] The preset power is 600W when the outlet water temperature is 60 degrees Celsius; 500W when the outlet water temperature is 70 degrees Celsius; and 400W when the outlet water temperature is 80 degrees Celsius. Tout represents the current outlet water temperature, i.e., the output power.

[0083] P = f(Tout)

[0084] Thus, by obtaining the inlet or outlet water temperature of the instant heating pipe 20, and calculating and generating a second preset time based on the temperature value T of the outlet or inlet water temperature, the preset power P of the heating module 30, the volume V of the instant heating pipe 20, and the target outlet water temperature, the water in the instant heating pipe 20 is heated according to the second preset time and boiled, thereby obtaining the boiling point data of the water.

[0085] Please see Figure 5 In some implementations, S32 includes:

[0086] S321: Measure the volume of the instant heating pipe;

[0087] S322: Calculate the mass of water in the instant heating pipeline based on its volume;

[0088] S323: The heating temperature is obtained based on the inlet water temperature / outlet water temperature and the target outlet water temperature;

[0089] S324: Calculate and generate a second preset time based on the heating temperature, the mass of water in the instantaneous heating pipeline, and the preset power.

[0090] In some implementations, S321, S322, S323 and S324 can be implemented by the second control module 113. That is, the second control module 113 is used to measure the volume of the instant heating pipe 20, calculate the mass of water in the instant heating pipe 20 based on the volume of the instant heating pipe 20, obtain the heating temperature based on the inlet water temperature / outlet water temperature and the target outlet water temperature, and calculate and generate a second preset time based on the heating temperature, the mass of water in the instant heating pipe 20 and the preset power.

[0091] In some embodiments, the processor is used to measure the volume of the instant heating pipe 20, calculate the mass of water in the instant heating pipe 20 based on the volume of the instant heating pipe 20, obtain the heating temperature based on the inlet water temperature / outlet water temperature and the target outlet water temperature, and generate a second preset time based on the heating temperature, the mass of water in the instant heating pipe 20 and the preset power.

[0092] Specifically, when the instant heating pipe 20 has a regular shape, its volume can be calculated by measuring its dimensions. When the instant heating pipe 20 has an irregular shape, its volume can be obtained by filling it with water and measuring the volume of the water.

[0093] According to the density formula: m = ρV, where ρ is the density of water (1000 kg / m³). 3The mass of water in the instant heating pipe 20 can be calculated based on its volume. The heating temperature can be obtained based on the inlet or outlet water temperature and the target outlet water temperature. For example, if the inlet and / or outlet water temperature is 20 degrees Celsius and the target outlet water temperature is 100 degrees Celsius, the heating temperature can be 80 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, a second preset time can be calculated based on the heating temperature, the mass of water in the instant heating pipe 20, and the preset power. The specific calculation process is described in the aforementioned embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0094] Thus, by measuring the volume of the instant heating pipe 20, the mass of water in the instant heating pipe 20 can be obtained. The heating temperature can be obtained based on the inlet water temperature and / or the outlet water temperature and the target outlet water temperature. The second preset time can be calculated based on the heating temperature, the mass of water in the instant heating pipe 20, and the preset power, so that the heating module 30 can heat the instant heating pipe 20 according to the second preset time.

[0095] Please see Figure 6 In some embodiments, before S50, the boiling point identification method further includes:

[0096] S60: After a third preset time interval in the cycle, control the water pump to work for a fourth preset time and control the heating module to heat the water in the instantaneous heating pipeline to boil.

[0097] In some implementations, S60 can be implemented by the third control module 114. That is, the third control module 114 is used to cycle through the steps of controlling the water pump 10 to work for a fourth preset time after a third preset time interval and controlling the heating module 30 to heat the water in the instantaneous heating pipeline 20 to boil.

[0098] In some embodiments, the processor is used to cycle through a preset interval of a third preset time, then control the water pump 10 to operate for a fourth preset time and control the heating module 30 to heat the water in the instantaneous heating pipe 20 to boil.

[0099] Specifically, after completing the third preset time interval, the water pump 10 is controlled to operate for a fourth preset time, and the heating module 30 is controlled to heat the water in the instantaneous heating pipe 20 to boil. This step is repeated a preset number of times, for example, three times, that is, step S40 is repeated three times. The specific number of preset times is not limited here.

[0100] In this way, by repeating step S40 a preset number of times, multiple boiling point temperature values ​​of water can be obtained, providing data basis for subsequently obtaining the maximum boiling point temperature based on multiple boiling point temperature values.

[0101] Please see Figure 7 In some implementations, S50 includes:

[0102] S51: Compare the values ​​of each outlet water temperature;

[0103] S52: Use the maximum outlet water temperature as the boiling point temperature.

[0104] In some implementations, S50 can be implemented by the determining module 115, that is, the determining module 115 is used to compare the magnitudes of the various outlet water temperatures and to use the outlet water temperature with the maximum value as the boiling point temperature.

[0105] In some implementations, the processor is used to compare the magnitudes of the various outlet water temperatures and to use the outlet water temperature with the maximum value as the boiling point temperature.

[0106] Specifically, by repeating step S40 a preset number of times, multiple boiling points of water in the instant heating pipe 20 can be obtained, that is, multiple outlet water temperatures when the water boils can be obtained. By comparing multiple outlet water temperature values, the maximum outlet water temperature can be obtained, and the maximum outlet water temperature is used as the current boiling point temperature.

[0107] In this way, by comparing the values ​​of multiple water outlet temperatures and taking the maximum value as the boiling point temperature, the maximum water outlet temperature of the water dispenser 100 can be determined, preventing steam from being emitted while outputting water at the highest possible temperature.

[0108] This application also provides a non-volatile computer-readable storage medium containing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to implement the boiling point identification method of any of the above embodiments.

[0109] The boiling point identification method of this application includes activating the temperature recording module 40; controlling the water pump 10 to operate for a first preset time to supply water to the instant heating pipe 20; controlling the heating module 30 to heat for a second preset time to make the water in the instant heating pipe 20 boil; after an interval of a third preset time, controlling the water pump 10 to operate for a fourth preset time and controlling the heating module 30 to heat for the second preset time to make the water in the instant heating pipe 20 boil; and determining the boiling point temperature based on the outlet water temperature recorded by the temperature recording module 40. Thus, by setting up the temperature recording module 40, the water pump 10, the instant heating pipe 20, and the heating module 30, water is input into the instant heating pipe 20 by the water pump 10, the water is heated to boiling by the heating module 30, and the temperature recording module 40 records the temperature at which the water boils, thereby obtaining the boiling point of the water. The maximum outlet water temperature of the water dispenser 100 is determined by the boiling point, preventing steam jets while outputting water at the highest possible temperature, resulting in a better user experience.
