Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electric appliances, in particular to a water temperature adjusting method and device of a water heater, a computer device and the water heater. BACKGROUND

[0002] The water heater needs to be set with the water temperature before use, but the ordinary user cannot know clearly when the water temperature is suitable for his / her own needs, and often needs to adjust the water temperature for several times. SUMMARY

[0003] Therefore, the present application provides a water temperature adjusting method and device of a water heater, a computer device and the water heater to solve the problem that the water temperature needs to be adjusted for several times when the water heater is used.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a water temperature adjusting method and device of a water heater, a computer device and the water heater, which comprises the following steps: obtaining an initial water temperature; obtaining an ambient temperature; inputting the initial water temperature and the ambient temperature into a preset temperature calculation formula to calculate a first corrected water temperature.

[0005] The water temperature adjusting method of the water heater provided in the embodiment does not directly use the obtained initial water temperature to control the water outlet of the water heater, but inputs the initial water temperature and the ambient temperature into a preset temperature calculation formula to calculate a first corrected water temperature, and then uses the first corrected water temperature to control the water outlet of the water heater. Since the first corrected water temperature takes into account the temperature of the environment in which the water heater is used, it can provide a more suitable water temperature for the user.

[0006] In an optional embodiment, the preset temperature calculation formula is: T 修正1 = K*(T 初始 -T 环境 )+T 环境 , wherein T 修正1 represents the first corrected water temperature, T 初始 represents the initial water temperature, T 环境 represents the ambient temperature, and K represents an influence factor.

[0007] This is because the user's water temperature is generally related to the ambient temperature, and there is a fixed relationship between the user's water temperature and the ambient temperature, and the difference between the user's water temperature and the ambient temperature can reflect the user's water usage habits. At the same time, the ambient temperature also has an impact on the user's water temperature, so the temperature calculation formula is expressed as: T 修正1 = K*(T 初始 -T 环境 )+T 环境 .

[0008] In an alternative embodiment, after the initial outlet water temperature and the ambient temperature are input into the preset temperature calculation formula to obtain the first corrected outlet water temperature, the method further comprises: displaying the first corrected temperature and controlling the water heater to dispense water using the first corrected outlet water temperature; and when the input second corrected outlet water temperature is obtained, modifying the influence factor in the temperature calculation formula according to the second corrected outlet water temperature.

[0009] Thus, not only can the user be provided with a more suitable outlet water temperature, but the influence factor in the temperature calculation formula can become more accurate as the water usage data increases, so that the user can be provided with a more suitable outlet water temperature when the temperature calculation formula is used next time; and since the first corrected temperature has been displayed to the user, the second corrected temperature input by the user on the control panel of the water heater is based on the reference of the first corrected temperature, so the second corrected temperature is more suitable for the user's demand water temperature than the first corrected temperature.

[0010] In an alternative embodiment, modifying the influence factor in the temperature calculation formula according to the second corrected outlet water temperature comprises: inputting the second corrected outlet water temperature, the first corrected outlet water temperature and the ambient temperature into a preset influence factor modification formula to obtain the modified influence factor; the influence factor modification formula is: T 修正2 = K * (T 修正1 - T 环境 ) + T 环境 , wherein T 修正2 represents the second corrected outlet water temperature.

[0011] In an alternative embodiment, before the initial outlet water temperature and the ambient temperature are input into the preset temperature calculation formula to obtain the first corrected outlet water temperature, the method further comprises: determining whether the temperature calculation formula exists; and when it does not exist, controlling the water heater to dispense water using the initial outlet water temperature.

[0012] Thus, the normal operation of the water heater can be ensured when the temperature calculation formula does not exist.

[0013] In an alternative embodiment, after the initial outlet water temperature and the ambient temperature are input into the preset temperature calculation formula to obtain the first corrected outlet water temperature, the method further comprises: displaying the first corrected temperature and controlling the water heater to dispense water using the first corrected outlet water temperature; and when the input second corrected outlet water temperature is obtained, modifying the influence factor in the temperature calculation formula according to the second corrected outlet water temperature. 修正3 = K * (T 初始 - T 环境 ) + T 环境 , wherein T 修正3 represents the third corrected outlet water temperature.

[0014] Thus, the temperature calculation formula can be obtained by calculation.

[0015] In an optional implementation, after the initial outlet water temperature is obtained, the method further includes: determining a temperature interval in which the initial outlet water temperature is located; before the initial outlet water temperature and the ambient temperature are input into the preset temperature calculation formula to obtain the first corrected outlet water temperature, the method further includes: selecting a temperature calculation formula corresponding to the temperature interval from a preset temperature calculation formula set according to the temperature interval; wherein the temperature calculation formula set includes temperature calculation formulas corresponding to multiple temperature intervals; and the selected temperature calculation formula is used as the preset temperature calculation formula.

[0016] Thus, the influence of seasons on the user's demand water temperature is considered, and different temperature calculation formulas can be provided according to the change of seasons.

[0017] In an optional implementation, before the initial outlet water temperature and the ambient temperature are input into the preset temperature calculation formula to obtain the first corrected outlet water temperature, the method further includes: obtaining identification information of the current target object; obtaining a preset database, wherein the database includes temperature calculation formulas corresponding to each target object; selecting a temperature calculation formula corresponding to the current target object from the database; and using the selected temperature calculation formula as the temperature calculation formula.

[0018] Thus, the temperature calculation formula corresponding to the current target object can be selected, so that the influence factor K in the temperature calculation formula is more accurate, and the correction frequency of the influence factor can be further reduced.

[0019] In an optional implementation, the database further includes historical outlet water temperatures corresponding to each target object, and the initial outlet water temperature is obtained by: determining, according to the identification information of the current target object, whether there is a historical outlet water temperature corresponding to the current target object in the database; when there is, determining the initial outlet water temperature by using the historical outlet water temperature corresponding to the current target object; and when there is not, using the obtained setting temperature as the initial outlet water temperature.

[0020] Thus, the user does not need to frequently set the initial outlet water temperature, and the user experience is improved.

[0021] In an optional implementation, the initial outlet water temperature is determined by using the historical outlet water temperature corresponding to the current target object, including: selecting, from the database, the actual outlet water temperature corresponding to the current target object at the most recent time; and using the selected actual outlet water temperature as the initial outlet water temperature.

[0022] Thus, the actual outlet water temperature corresponding to the current target object at the most recent time can be used as the initial temperature, and since this temperature is closest to the user's water use habit, the calculation amount can be reduced.

[0023] In a second aspect, the present application further provides a water temperature adjusting device of a water heater, comprising a first obtaining module, a second obtaining module and a calculating module, the first obtaining module is configured to obtain an initial outlet water temperature; the second obtaining module is configured to obtain an ambient temperature; and the calculating module is configured to input the initial outlet water temperature and the ambient temperature into a preset temperature calculation formula to obtain a first corrected outlet water temperature.

[0024] In a third aspect, the present application further provides a computer device, comprising a memory and a processor, the memory and the processor are communicatively connected, the memory stores computer instructions, and the processor executes the computer instructions to perform the water temperature adjusting method of the first aspect or any of the corresponding embodiments thereof.

[0025] In a fourth aspect, the present application further provides a water heater comprising the computer device of the third aspect.

[0026] In a fifth aspect, the present application further provides a computer readable storage medium, the computer readable storage medium stores computer instructions, and the computer instructions are configured to make a computer execute the water temperature adjusting method of the first aspect or any of the corresponding embodiments thereof.

[0038] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0039] The water heater needs to set the water temperature before use. On the one hand, the user has no clear concept of temperature; meanwhile, the adaptability of each person to temperature, environmental temperature, etc. is different, and different people have different needs for water temperature in different environments. The user needs to repeatedly debug each time when using the water heater.

[0040] According to an embodiment of the present application, a water temperature adjusting method of a water heater is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flow chart of the drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a group of computer executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flow chart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from here.

[0041] In the present embodiment, a water temperature adjusting method of a water heater is provided, which can be used in a computer device of a water heater. Figure 1 is a flow schematic view of a water temperature adjusting method of a water heater according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 The flow includes the following steps:

[0042] Step S101, an initial water temperature is acquired.

[0043] Step S102, an environmental temperature is acquired.

[0044] The environmental temperature is the temperature of the environment where the water heater is used.

[0045] Step S103, input the initial outlet water temperature and the ambient temperature into a preset temperature calculation formula to obtain a first corrected outlet water temperature.

[0046] The water temperature adjustment method of the water heater provided in this embodiment does not directly use the obtained initial outlet water temperature to control the outlet water of the water heater, but inputs the initial outlet water temperature and the ambient temperature into a preset temperature calculation formula to obtain a first corrected outlet water temperature, and then uses the first corrected outlet water temperature to control the outlet water of the water heater. Since the first corrected outlet water temperature takes into account the temperature of the environment in which the water heater is used, a more suitable outlet water temperature can be provided for the user.

[0047] In this embodiment, a water temperature adjustment method of a water heater is provided, which can be used in a computer device of the water heater. Figure 2 is a flowchart of another water temperature adjustment method of a water heater according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in the figure, the flowchart includes the following steps: Figure 2

[0048] Step S201, obtain an initial outlet water temperature.

[0049] Step S202, obtain an ambient temperature.

[0050] Step S203, determine whether a temperature calculation formula exists; when it does not exist, go to step S204; when it exists, go to step S206.

[0051] Step S204, use the initial outlet water temperature to control the water heater to outlet water.

[0052] Step S205, when the input third corrected outlet water temperature is obtained, input the initial outlet water temperature, the third corrected outlet water temperature and the ambient temperature into a preset influence factor determination formula to obtain an influence factor, and obtain a temperature calculation formula according to the influence factor.

[0053] Specifically, the influence factor determination formula is: T 修正3 = K * (T 初始 -T 环境 ) + T 环境 , T 修正3 represents the third corrected outlet water temperature.

[0054] Step S206, input the initial outlet water temperature and the ambient temperature into a preset temperature calculation formula to obtain a first corrected outlet water temperature.

[0055] Specifically, the temperature calculation formula is: T 修正1 = K * (T 初始 -T 环境 ) + T 环境 ​

[0056] wherein, T 修正1 represents the first corrected outlet water temperature, T 初始 represents the initial outlet water temperature, T 环境 represents the ambient temperature, and K represents an influence factor.

[0057] This is because the user's water temperature is generally related to the ambient temperature, and there is a fixed relationship between the user's water temperature and the ambient temperature, and the difference between the user's water temperature and the ambient temperature can reflect the user's water habits; at the same time, the ambient temperature also has an impact on the user's water temperature, so the temperature calculation formula is represented as: T 修正1 = K * (T 初始 - T 环境 ) + T 环境 .

[0058] In step S206, K in the temperature calculation formula is a known quantity, and Tinitialand Tambientare input into the temperature calculation formula to obtain the first corrected outlet water temperature. Specifically, K in the temperature calculation formula is obtained according to steps S204 and S205.

[0059] In step S207, the first corrected temperature is displayed, and the water heater is controlled to dispense water using the first corrected outlet water temperature.

[0060] In step S208, when the input second corrected outlet water temperature is obtained, the influence factor in the temperature calculation formula is corrected according to the second corrected outlet water temperature.

[0061] In this embodiment, although the first corrected outlet water temperature takes into account the temperature of the environment in which the water heater is used, the accuracy of the influence factor K will affect the accuracy of the first corrected outlet water temperature. Therefore, after the water heater is controlled to dispense water using the first corrected outlet water temperature, it is possible to obtain the second corrected temperature input by the user on the control panel of the water heater, at which time it is indicated that the influence factor is not accurate, so it is necessary to correct the influence factor.

[0062] In this embodiment, since the first corrected temperature has been displayed to the user in step S207, the second corrected temperature input by the user on the control panel of the water heater is based on the reference of the first corrected temperature, so the second corrected temperature is more in line with the user's demand water temperature than the first corrected temperature. Specifically, correcting the influence factor in the temperature calculation formula according to the second corrected outlet water temperature includes inputting the second corrected outlet water temperature, the first corrected outlet water temperature, and the ambient temperature into a preset influence factor correction formula to obtain a corrected influence factor;

[0063] The influence factor correction formula is: T 修正2 = K * (T 修正1-T 环境 )+T 环境

[0064] wherein, T 修正2 represents the second corrected outlet water temperature.

[0065] Thus, after the modified influence factor is obtained, when the initial outlet water temperature and the ambient temperature are obtained next time, the initial outlet water temperature and the ambient temperature are input into T 修正1 = K*(T 初始 -T 环境 )+T 环境 for calculation, K uses the modified influence factor, and the modified influence factor can be more fitted to the habit of the user compared with the unmodified influence factor. That is, in the temperature calculation formula T 修正1 = K*(T 初始 -T 环境 )+T 环境 , the influence factor is not fixed, but becomes more accurate with the increase of the water data.

[0066] Of course, there can be a case that the second corrected outlet water temperature is not received, which indicates that the accuracy of the influence factor is high at this time, and no further correction is needed. As shown in Figure 3 the influence factor is not fixed, but becomes more accurate with the increase of the water data (i.e. the number of uses).

[0067] The water temperature adjustment method of the water heater provided in the embodiment can not only provide a more suitable outlet water temperature for the user, but also the influence factor in the temperature calculation formula can become more accurate with the increase of the water data, so that a more suitable outlet water temperature can be provided for the user when the temperature calculation formula is used next time.

[0068] In the embodiment, a water temperature adjustment method of a water heater is provided, which can be used in a computer device of the water heater. Figure 4 is a flowchart of another water temperature adjustment method of a water heater according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 the flowchart includes the following steps:

[0069] Step S401, obtaining an initial outlet water temperature.

[0070] Step S402, obtaining an ambient temperature.

[0071] Step S403, judging whether a temperature calculation formula exists; when it exists, going to step S406; when it does not exist, going to step S404.

[0072] Step S404, controlling the water heater to perform water outlet by using the initial outlet water temperature.

[0073] Step S405, when the input third corrected outlet water temperature is acquired, the initial outlet water temperature, the third corrected outlet water temperature and the ambient temperature are input into a preset influence factor determination formula to calculate an influence factor, and a temperature calculation formula is obtained according to the influence factor.

[0074] Step S406, a temperature interval in which the initial outlet water temperature is located is determined.

[0075] Specifically, in different seasons, the user's demand for water temperature will change greatly, that is, in different seasons, the user's habits are quite different, so different temperature intervals can be set, and different influence factors K are corresponded in each temperature interval.

[0076] Step S407, a temperature calculation formula corresponding to the temperature interval is selected from a preset temperature calculation formula set according to the temperature interval.

[0077] Specifically, the temperature calculation formula set includes temperature calculation formulas corresponding to multiple temperature intervals. The multiple temperature calculation formulas have the same expression form, and the only difference is that the influence factor K is different.

[0078] Step S408, the initial outlet water temperature and the ambient temperature are input into the selected temperature calculation formula to calculate a first corrected outlet water temperature.

[0079] Step S409, the first corrected temperature is displayed, and the water heater is controlled to output water by using the first corrected outlet water temperature.

[0080] Step S410, when the input second corrected outlet water temperature is acquired, the influence factor in the temperature calculation formula is corrected according to the second corrected outlet water temperature.

[0081] The water temperature adjustment method of the water heater provided in the embodiment considers the influence of seasons on the user's demand for water temperature, can provide different temperature calculation formulas according to the change of seasons, and can further calculate a more accurate first corrected outlet water temperature, so as to reduce the number of times of adjusting and setting the temperature by the user and improve the user experience.

[0082] In the embodiment, a water temperature adjustment method of a water heater is provided, which can be used in a computer device of the water heater. Figure 5 is a flowchart of still another water temperature adjustment method of a water heater according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in the figure, the flowchart includes the following steps: Figure 5

[0083] Step S501, identification information of a current target object is acquired.

[0084] As shown in Figure 6 ​As shown, the gesture sensor can be arranged at the intermediate position of the water outlet switch. When a user uses the water heater for the first time, the user binds a personal gesture through the gesture sensor and inputs personal information, and the information is transmitted to the water heater, and the water heater transmits the information to the client through WiFi for storage for calling.

[0085] In step S502, a preset database is acquired.

[0086] In the above database, not only the temperature calculation formula corresponding to each target object is included, but also the historical water outlet temperature corresponding to each target object is included.

[0087] In step S503, the temperature calculation formula corresponding to the current target object is selected from the database.

[0088] This is because the water use habits of different users are different, and selecting the temperature calculation formula corresponding to the current target object from the database can make the influence factor K in the temperature calculation formula more accurate, and further can reduce the correction times of the influence factor.

[0089] In step S504, whether the historical water outlet temperature corresponding to the current target object exists in the database is judged according to the identification information of the current target object; when it exists, step S505 is entered; when it does not exist, step S507 is entered.

[0090] In step S505, the initial water outlet temperature is determined by using the historical water outlet temperature corresponding to the current target object.

[0091] Specifically, the initial water outlet temperature can be determined by using the historical water outlet temperature corresponding to the current target object by the following method: selecting the actual water outlet temperature corresponding to the current target object in the database; and selecting the selected actual water outlet temperature as the initial water outlet temperature. This is because the influence factor K in the temperature calculation formula becomes more accurate with the increase of the use times of the user, and therefore the actual water outlet temperature corresponding to the current target object in the database is the most accurate and closest to the water use habits of the user. Using the actual water outlet temperature corresponding to the current target object in the last time as the initial temperature can reduce the calculation amount.

[0092] It should be noted that if the first corrected water outlet temperature is not corrected in the last water use process, the actual water outlet temperature corresponding to the current target object in the last time is the actual water outlet temperature obtained by using the first corrected water outlet temperature to control the water heater to outlet water; if the first corrected water outlet temperature is corrected in the last water use process, the actual water outlet temperature corresponding to the current target object in the last time is the actual water outlet temperature obtained by using the second corrected water outlet temperature to control the water heater to outlet water.

[0093] Step S506, obtaining the initial outlet water temperature input by the target object.

[0094] Step S507, obtaining the ambient temperature.

[0095] Step S508, inputting the initial outlet water temperature and the ambient temperature into the selected temperature calculation formula for calculation to obtain the first corrected outlet water temperature.

[0096] Step S509, displaying the first corrected temperature and controlling the water heater to outlet water by using the first corrected outlet water temperature.

[0097] Step S510, when the input second corrected outlet water temperature is obtained, the influence factor in the temperature calculation formula is corrected according to the second corrected outlet water temperature.

[0098] The water temperature adjustment method of the water heater in the embodiment of the application not only selects the temperature calculation formula corresponding to the current target object to make the influence factor K in the temperature calculation formula more accurate, but also further reduces the correction times of the influence factor, and uses the actual outlet water temperature corresponding to the current target object in the last time as the initial temperature, so that the calculation amount can be reduced because the temperature is closest to the user's water use habit.

[0099] In order to describe the water temperature adjustment method of the water heater in the embodiment of the application in more detail, a specific example is given. Figure 7 The operation principle of the water temperature adjustment method of the water heater is as follows:

[0100] When the user uses the water heater for the first time, the personal gesture is bound through the gesture sensor and the personal information is input, the information is transmitted to the water heater, and the water heater transmits the information to the client through WiFi for storage for calling.

[0101] When the user uses the water heater for the first time, the water heater is heated at the set temperature of the user; in the future, the user's identity is recognized through the gesture, the ambient temperature is obtained, and the water temperature suitable for the user is intelligently adjusted; if the user adjusts the water temperature, the water temperature data and the environmental data of the user are synchronously collected, the influence factor in the temperature calculation formula is corrected, and the corrected influence factor is uploaded to the client for storage for adjusting the outlet water temperature next time; the more data collected, the more the water temperature adjusted intelligently conforms to the user's habit.

[0102] The process of intelligently adjusting the water temperature is as shown in the figure. Figure 7 When the user uses the water heater for the first time, the water heater is heated at the set temperature of the user; in the future, the user's identity is recognized through the gesture, the ambient temperature is obtained, and the water temperature suitable for the user is intelligently adjusted; if the user adjusts the water temperature, the water temperature data and the environmental data of the user are synchronously collected, the influence factor in the temperature calculation formula is corrected, and the corrected influence factor is uploaded to the client for storage for adjusting the outlet water temperature next time; the more data collected, the more the water temperature adjusted intelligently conforms to the user's habit.

[0103] The actual water outlet temperature of the last time is obtained when the user uses water next time, the ambient temperature during this time is collected, and the water outlet temperature, i.e., the first corrected water outlet temperature, is calculated through a calculation formula. If the water outlet temperature at this time is still not suitable, modification is needed, and then the modified water outlet temperature is recorded, and the latest K value is calculated again.

[0104] Then these data are recorded in the user data again, transmitted to the client through WiFi for backup, and used for prediction and calculation of the next water outlet temperature. After multiple debugging, the K value tends to be more and more stable, and the difference between the adjusted water outlet temperature and the water temperature required by the user is smaller.
