Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention discloses a technology related to sanitary equipment, and specifically, relates to a temperature display system and a low-power usage method. Background Art

[0002] Currently, most sanitary products on the market are equipped with a display module. For the existing display module, the display will be lit and data will be displayed after startup, and the display will not be turned off until it is shut down.

[0003] However, it is found in daily life that sanitary products actually do not need to be displayed all the time during use. Long-term display will cause the display power consumption to account for most of the system power consumption, resulting in a shorter service time of the entire system due to excessive power consumption. However, if the data is only briefly displayed, when the data changes, it cannot be reflected in real time. To know the real-time data, only manual operation can be used, which reduces the user experience.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art urgently need to develop a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The following will describe in detail the specific implementation manners of the present invention disclosed in conjunction with the drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation manners described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and are not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0032] Figure 1 - Figure 2It is a schematic structural diagram of a temperature display system shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1 shown. The display system includes: a switch 110, a display device 120, a power supply 130, a temperature sensor 140, a first signal connection line 150, a second signal connection line 160, and a power connection line 170; the switch 110 is electrically connected to the display device 120 through the first signal connection line 150, the temperature sensor 140 is electrically connected to the display device 120 through the second signal connection line 160, and the power supply 130 is electrically connected to the display device 120 through the power connection line 170.

[0033] The display device 120 is a digital display device for displaying the temperature value collected by the temperature sensor.

[0034] Exemplarily, the temperature display system in the disclosed embodiment of the present invention includes: a switch 110, a display device 120, a power supply 130, a temperature sensor 140, a first signal connection line 150, a second signal connection line 160, and a power connection line 170. Among them, the switch 110 is electrically connected to the display device 120 through the first signal connection line 150, and can send an open signal to the display device 120 through the first signal connection line 150 when the switch 110 is opened for display by the display device 120, and send a close signal to the display device 120 through the first signal connection line 150 when the switch 110 is closed to turn off the display device 120. The temperature sensor 140 is electrically connected to the display device 120 through the second signal connection line 160, and can send the temperature signal collected by the temperature sensor 140 to the display device 120 to display the received temperature signal when the display device 120 is in the open state. Additionally, it can be understood that if the display device 120 is in the closed state, even if the display device 120 receives the temperature signal from the temperature sensor 140, it cannot display the temperature signal. In this way, it is possible to control whether the display device 120 displays the received temperature signal by opening and closing the switch 110, which can not only ensure that the temperature sensor 140 collects temperature signals in real time, but also reduce the time for the display device 120 to display the temperature signal, achieving the purpose of saving power consumption and reducing the usage cost of the temperature display system.

[0035] The switch 110 is an induction switch, and the induction switch includes one of the following: an infrared induction switch, a temperature induction switch, a microwave induction switch, and a touch induction switch.

[0036] Exemplarily, the switch 110 is an induction switch, which can be an infrared induction switch, a temperature induction switch, a microwave induction switch, and a touch induction switch. Among them, the infrared induction switch, the temperature induction switch, and the microwave induction switch can sense whether a user is approaching the temperature display system. When it is detected that the distance between the user and the display system is less than a preset distance, the switch 110 is turned on. The touch induction switch can turn on or off the temperature display system according to the user's touch action.

[0037] The temperature sensor 140 is arranged at the water outlet of the shower device and is used to monitor the temperature of the water outlet of the shower device.

[0038] Exemplarily, the temperature display system can be applied to sanitary products such as shower systems, faucet systems, and bathroom cabinet systems. Therefore, the temperature sensor 140 is arranged at the water outlet of the shower device to monitor the temperature of the water outlet.

[0039] The display device 110 includes: a first controller, a second controller, and a display; the first controller is electrically connected to the induction switch and the power supply respectively, and the second controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the display respectively.

[0040] An indicator light is arranged on the display, and the indicator light is electrically connected to the second controller.

[0041] Exemplarily, the first controller is electrically connected to the induction switch and the power supply respectively, and controls the power supply through the signal provided by the induction switch. The second controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the display respectively, makes a determination according to the temperature change provided by the temperature sensor, and controls the display to display and whether to light up. The display receives the temperature information provided by the temperature sensor and displays it.

[0042] Figure 3 It is a flowchart of a low-power usage method of a temperature display system shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 3 shown, the method includes:

[0043] In step 301, if the temperature display system is in a working state, the first real-time temperature value of the water outlet is collected through the temperature sensor at preset time intervals, and the collected first real-time temperature value is sent to the display device.

[0044] Exemplarily, when the temperature display system is in a working state (that is, the power supply is turned on and the display device is turned on), the temperature sensor sends the first real-time temperature value of the water outlet collected to the display device, and the first real-time temperature value is displayed in real time through the display device.

[0045] If the induction switch does not receive induction, the display system is in a power-off state; if the induction switch receives induction, the power supply of the display system is turned on to enable the temperature sensor to be in a working state.

[0046] The numerical range of the temperature that the display device can display is 0 to 99 °C, and when the temperature change is less than 1 °C, it is displayed according to the rounding principle.

[0047] In step 302, the display device continuously displays the received first real-time temperature value within a preset m seconds.

[0048] Exemplarily, the display device continuously displays the received first real-time temperature value, and after displaying for m seconds, the display device is turned off to achieve the purpose of saving power consumption.

[0049] Specifically, m seconds is preferably 180 seconds. During the 180-second display time, the temperature display system is still monitoring the temperature in real time, the display device also displays the temperature in real time, and the second controller does not record the currently collected temperature value, but only times the time (starting from the first displayed first real-time temperature value for 180 seconds).

[0050] In step 303, after the preset m seconds have passed, the display device is turned off and the second temperature value when the display device is turned off is determined.

[0051] Preferably, the display device is turned off after 180 seconds, and the second temperature value when the display is turned off is recorded by the second controller.

[0052] In step 304, the third real-time temperature value of the water outlet is collected by the temperature sensor at every preset time interval, and the collected third real-time temperature value is sent to the display device.

[0053] In step 305, when the absolute value of the difference between the third real-time temperature value and the second temperature value is greater than a preset threshold, the display device continuously displays the received first real-time temperature value within a preset n seconds and then turns off the display device.

[0054] Exemplarily, after the display device is turned off, the third real-time temperature value of the water outlet is still continuously collected by the temperature sensor at every preset time interval, and the collected third real-time temperature value is sent to the display device. While receiving the new temperature value, the second controller in the display device judges whether the absolute value of the difference between the third real-time temperature value and the second temperature value is greater than the preset threshold. That is, it judges whether the temperature change of the water outlet is within the preset temperature change threshold range set by the second controller. If it exceeds this range, the display starts to light up and displays in real time for n seconds and then the display device is turned off.

[0055] Preferably, n seconds is 30 seconds.

[0056] In addition, it can be understood that if the absolute value of the difference between the third real-time temperature value and the second temperature value does not exceed the preset threshold, the display device continues to be turned off, and the temperature of the water outlet is continuously monitored through the temperature sensor.

[0057] During the process of the display device displaying the temperature of the water outlet, the above steps 304-305 are continuously repeated until the entire temperature display system is powered off. When the display device is powered on and enters the working state, steps 301-step 305 are executed.

[0058] In summary, the present disclosure relates to a temperature display system and a low-power usage method. The method includes: if the display system is in the working state, the first real-time temperature value of the water outlet is collected through the temperature sensor at preset time intervals, and the collected first real-time temperature value is sent to the display device; the display device continuously displays the received first real-time temperature value within a preset m seconds; after a preset m seconds, the display device is turned off and the second temperature value when the display device is turned off is determined; the third real-time temperature value of the water outlet is collected through the temperature sensor at preset time intervals, and the collected third real-time temperature value is sent to the display device at preset time intervals; when the absolute value of the difference between the third real-time temperature value and the second temperature value is greater than the preset threshold, the display device continuously displays the received first real-time temperature value within a preset n seconds and then turns off the display device. The purpose of reducing the display power consumption, saving the system power consumption, and extending the usage duration can be achieved by setting the time for the display device to display the temperature and the interval time.

[0059] In addition, by setting the induction switch control unit, the power supply can be turned on only after the induction switch is activated, further achieving the purpose of reducing the standby power consumption, saving the system power consumption, and extending the usage duration.
