[0002] Most of the hot water equipment on the market currently are constant temperature water heaters. Users can set a suitable water temperature, and the water can be heated to the set temperature and discharged at a constant temperature. However, in after-sales feedback, there are feedbacks that when setting 42°C, the water gets hotter and hotter during summer showers, and during winter showers, the water temperature is not hot enough to reach the set temperature at the beginning of using water.

[0003] The fundamental reason is that the hot water equipment controls the water outlet temperature point at the equipment end, while the user experiences the problem at the remote water usage end. Between the equipment end and the water usage end, there will be a long hot water pipeline.

The terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0028] Embodiment 1:

[0029] Since the existing hot water equipment controls the water outlet temperature point at the equipment end, while the user experiences the problem at the remote water use end. Between the equipment end and the water use end, there will be a long hot water pipeline. During the transmission of the hot water pipeline, the temperature at the water use end will be lower than the water outlet temperature at the equipment end due to pipeline heat dissipation. As the pipeline ambient temperature is heated to equilibrium, the temperature at the water use end will be the same as the water outlet temperature at the equipment end.

[0030] Regarding the problems existing in the prior art, such as Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a regulation method, which is applied to an electronic device. The electronic device can be a server, a mobile terminal, a computer, a cloud platform, a hot water system, etc. The functions realized by the device data processing provided by the embodiments of the present application can be achieved by a processor of the electronic device calling program code. Among them, the program code can be stored in a computer storage medium. The regulation method includes:

[0031] Step S1: Obtain the first current water temperature at the water use end.

[0032] Since existing hot water devices all control the outlet water temperature at the water flow outlet of the hot water device and do not actually obtain the outlet water temperature at the user's water usage end, before the pipeline ambient temperature reaches an equilibrium state, the hot water flowing out of the hot water device will have heat dissipation in the pipeline, resulting in the water temperature reaching the outlet end being lower than the water temperature when flowing out of the hot water device, and thus the problem that the water temperature is difficult to reach the target temperature when first using water occurs.

[0033] The main purpose of this application is to quickly adjust the water temperature at the water usage end, so it is necessary to obtain the first current water temperature at the water usage end.

[0034] Of course, after the water usage end is opened, the water that flows out first is the water stored in the pipeline that cannot be heated, and it is meaningless to obtain the first current water temperature at this time. Therefore, in some embodiments, step S1 "obtain the first current water temperature at the water usage end" includes:

[0035] Step S11: Obtain the current startup duration of the hot water device and a preset duration threshold.

[0036] Step S12: When the current startup duration is greater than or equal to the preset duration threshold, obtain the first current water temperature at the water usage end.

[0037] Generally speaking, since the length of the pipeline is fixed and the water flow velocity at the outlet end is relatively stable, after the hot water device is started, the water flow in the heat exchanger of the hot water device will be heated. Therefore, in this application, it is necessary to obtain the current startup duration of the hot water device. When obtaining the current startup duration, the hot water system in this application starts timing from the start of the heating device of the hot water device, and thus obtains the current startup duration of the hot water device. Similarly, in order to prevent the first current water temperature from being meaningless, for example, if the obtained first current water temperature is the water temperature of the water stored in the pipeline, it will cause the hot water device to overheat, resulting in the water temperature flowing out of the hot water device being too high, and the user at the water usage end may be scalded. Therefore, a preset duration threshold is set in this application. This preset duration threshold can ensure that the obtained first current water temperature is meaningful, that is, the water flow when obtaining the first current water temperature is heated by the hot water device.

[0038] Therefore, in step S12, when the current startup duration is greater than or equal to the preset duration threshold, obtain the first current water temperature at the water usage end.

[0039] Step S2: Obtain the target water temperature set by the user.

[0040] The purpose of this application is to quickly adjust the water temperature at the water usage end to the target water temperature set by the user, so it is inevitable to obtain the target water temperature set by the user in this application.

[0041] Step S3: Adjust the current heating temperature of the hot water device according to the first current water temperature and the target water temperature.

[0042] The main core of adjusting the first current temperature at the water usage end is still the adjustment of the hot water device, mainly reflected in the adjustment of the current heating temperature of the hot water device. After obtaining the first current water temperature and the target water temperature, the current heating temperature of the hot water device can be adjusted by the first current water temperature and the target water temperature, so that the water temperature at the water outlet of the hot water device rises, and when the water flow reaches the water usage end, the water temperature is exactly near the target water temperature, realizing the rapid adjustment of the water temperature at the water usage end. Moreover, since the temperature of the water flow in the pipeline is increased, the ambient temperature of the pipeline can be rapidly increased, shortening the time for the ambient temperature of the pipeline to be heated to equilibrium.

[0043] Of course, the hot water system mentioned in this application necessarily includes a hot water device. This hot water system mainly targets hot water devices with a water supply method of heating and flowing out in a timely manner.

[0044] Steps S11 - S12 introduce when to obtain the first current temperature, but do not mention how the hot water device should operate when the current startup duration is less than the preset duration threshold. Therefore, in some embodiments, the adjustment method further includes:

[0045] Step S4: Obtain the second current water temperature at the water inlet of the hot water device.

[0046] Step S5: When the current startup duration is less than the preset duration threshold, determine the current heating temperature of the hot water device according to the second current water temperature and the target water temperature.

[0047] When the first current water temperature cannot be obtained, it is necessary to determine the current heating temperature of the hot water device according to the second current water temperature and the target water temperature to ensure that the hot water temperature just flowing out at the water usage end does not exceed the target temperature.

[0048] In some embodiments, step S5 "determine the current heating temperature of the hot water device according to the first current water temperature and the target water temperature" includes:

[0049] Step S51: Determine a first temperature difference according to the second current water temperature and the target water temperature.

[0050] Step S52: Obtain the first current water flow rate in the hot water device.

[0051] Step S53: Determine the first heating duration of the hot water device for the water flow according to the first current water flow rate.

[0052] Step S54: Determine the current heating temperature of the hot water device according to the first heating duration and the first temperature difference.

[0053] The current heating temperature in this application refers to the current heating temperature of the hot water device. This current heating temperature may be the current heating temperature before obtaining the first current water temperature, or it may be the adjusted current heating temperature. For example, steps S4 to S54 determine the current heating temperature of the hot water device before obtaining the first current water temperature.

[0054] Since the heating of the water flow in this application conforms to the water heating formula, the first temperature difference can be determined by the second current water temperature and the target water temperature in this application. Generally, the water flow rate in the hot water device is stable, so the stable water flow rate will result in a stable heating duration of the water flow. However, in real life, in many cases, multiple faucets are opened simultaneously, which will inevitably lead to a decrease in the inlet pressure of the hot water device. Similarly, it will also lead to a decrease in the outlet pressure of the hot water device and the water pressure at the outlet end. At this time, the water flow rate in the hot water device and the pipeline will decrease, which will cause the heating duration of the water flow in the hot water device to change. Therefore, in this application, it is also necessary to obtain the first current water flow rate in the hot water device. Since the pipe length of the heat exchanger in the hot water device is fixed, the heating duration of the water flow in the current situation, that is, the first current heating duration, can be obtained according to the first current water flow rate and the fixed pipe length. Finally, the current heating temperature is determined according to the first current heating duration and the first temperature difference. In this way, it is possible to avoid the problem of too high water temperature at the water-using end due to the decrease in water pressure and water flow rate caused by other positions also using water during the early stage of heating of the hot water device.

[0055] Steps S4 - S54 explain how to determine the current heating temperature of the hot water device when the startup duration of the hot water device is insufficient. When the startup duration of the hot water device is sufficient, that is, when the current startup duration is greater than or equal to the preset duration threshold, the current heating temperature of the hot water device can be adjusted according to the first current water temperature and the target temperature.

[0056] Therefore, in some embodiments, step S3, "Adjust the current heating temperature of the hot water device according to the first current water temperature and the target water temperature", includes:

[0057] Step S31: When the current startup duration is greater than or equal to the preset duration threshold, obtain the current heating temperature.

[0058] Step S32: Input the current heating temperature, the current startup duration, the second current water temperature, the first current water temperature, and the target water temperature into a preset calculation model.

[0059] Step S33: Adjust the current heating temperature according to the output result of the calculation model.

[0060] To make the first current water temperature equal to the target water temperature, it is necessary to adjust the current heating temperature of the hot water device. However, the heating temperature of the hot water device is necessarily related to the inlet water temperature of the hot water device, and it is also necessary to obtain the current heating temperature of the hot water device. Therefore, in this application, it is necessary to determine the target heating temperature of the hot water device according to the second current water temperature, the current heating temperature, the current startup duration, the first current water temperature, and the target water temperature.

[0061] Among them, a calculation model is preset in this application. The calculation model is Tset_t = f(Tset, t, T_in, T_heat, T_use). Where, T_in: the second current water temperature; T_heat: the current heating temperature; Tset: the target water temperature; T_use: the first current water temperature; t: the current startup duration.

[0062] The pre-designed calculation model includes the relationship between the current heating temperature, the target water temperature, the first current water temperature, and the second current water temperature. The current startup duration is the judgment condition for the operation of the calculation model. Only when the current startup duration is greater than or equal to the preset duration threshold, the calculation model will output the final result according to the current heating temperature, the target water temperature, the first current water temperature, and the second current water temperature. The manifestation form of this result can be the target heating temperature or the compensation temperature, both are acceptable. After obtaining the output result of the calculation model, the current heating temperature can be adjusted according to the output result.

[0063] Figure 2 In it, T1 represents the time when the pipeline ambient temperature is equal to the target water temperature in the prior art. Figure 3 In it, T2 represents the time when the pipeline ambient temperature is equal to the target water temperature in this application. Figure 2 And Figure 3 In it, T0 represents the preset duration threshold, T_set represents the current heating temperature, T_use_water represents the first current water temperature at the water usage place, and T_pipe represents the pipeline ambient temperature. In Figure 2 T_set is equivalent to the target temperature, but in this application, that is, Figure 3 In it, when starting to adjust the current heating temperature, the current heating temperature at this time is not necessarily equal to the target temperature. Of course, in Figure 2 And Figure 3 The inlet water temperature is the same.

[0064] Therefore, by comparing, such as Figure 2 And Figure 3It can be found that the present application obtains the first current water temperature at the water usage end; obtains the target water temperature set by the user; wherein, the hot water system includes hot water equipment, and the water usage end is the water outlet for the user to obtain hot water; and adjusts the current heating temperature of the hot water equipment according to the first current water temperature and the target water temperature. The effect of quickly adjusting the first current water temperature at the water outlet end is achieved, so that the first current water temperature at the water outlet end can be quickly adjusted to the set temperature of the user. At the same time, the time for heating the pipeline environment temperature to equilibrium is shortened, improving the user's water usage experience.
