[0048] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the electronic device according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0049] The present invention will be further illustrated by way of embodiments below, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] This embodiment provides a control method for a bathroom drying system, referring to... Figure 1The bathroom drying system includes: a water heater 1, a circulating water pump 2, a heating branch installed in the bathroom 3, a temperature sensor 4, and a humidity sensor 5. In the diagram, the thin arrows indicate the direction of water flow, and the thick arrows indicate the direction of air flow.

[0052] The circulating water pump 2 is used to provide water flow power so that the hot water output from the water heater 1 flows through the heating branch 3 and returns to the water heater 1.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 The control methods include:

[0054] S11. Acquire the temperature collected by temperature sensor 4 and the humidity collected by humidity sensor 5.

[0055] S12. Control the working status of water heater 1 and circulating water pump 2 according to temperature and humidity.

[0056] The heating branch 3, temperature sensor 4, and humidity sensor 5 are all located in the bathroom. The water heater 1, circulating water pump 2, and heating branch 3 can be connected in a preset order to form a circulation loop, with the circulating water pump 2 providing the water flow power for the circulation loop.

[0057] Understandably, connecting various devices to form a circulation loop may require water pipes and connectors for inter-device connections. The water pipe connected to the inlet of water heater 1 can be designated as inlet circuit 11, and the water pipe connected to the outlet of water heater 1 can be designated as outlet circuit 12. The outlet of inlet circuit 11 is connected to the inlet of water heater 1, the outlet of water heater 1 is connected to the inlet of outlet circuit 12, the outlet of outlet circuit 12 is connected to the inlet of circulating water pump 2, the outlet of circulating water pump 2 is connected to the inlet of heating branch circuit 3, and the outlet of heating branch circuit 3 is connected to the inlet of inlet circuit 11.

[0058] Heating branch 3 may include: a wall-mounted branch and a towel rack branch. The wall-mounted branch is fixed to the bathroom wall (either inside or outside the wall) and / or floor (either inside or outside the floor). The towel rack branch is fixed to the towel rack. The connection between the towel rack branch and the wall-mounted branch may be in series or in parallel. The wall-mounted branch and the towel rack branch may be in a serpentine or concentric circle pattern.

[0059] Wall and floor heating channels can cover an entire wall or floor, or only a portion of it. Through wide-area heating, they evaporate moisture in the bathroom, raising the temperature and lowering humidity, achieving dehumidification and warming, creating a dry and hygienic environment. Towel rack heating channels enhance the dehumidification effect on towel racks, preventing rapid bacterial growth on towels.

[0060] Temperature sensor 4 and humidity sensor 5 can be installed at the bathroom vent or in other places inside the bathroom.

[0061] The working status can be reported as either "on" or "off".

[0062] Water heaters have a high heat output and can heat water quickly. In particular, gas water heaters can have a heat output of over 20kW (kilowatts), which is even faster. They also use circulating heating and avoid the safety hazards such as electric leakage associated with electric heating.

[0063] This embodiment utilizes the hot water provided by the water heater to continuously circulate and heat the water in the bathroom's circulation loop. The water heater's rapid heating capacity can quickly generate a large amount of heat to evaporate the moisture in the bathroom, increase the temperature inside the bathroom, and reduce the humidity, thus achieving the purpose of dehumidification and heating. In conjunction with the fan, the heating speed and effect are further enhanced, and the air circulation is accelerated to expel the hot and humid water vapor, making the bathroom a dry and hygienic environment.

[0064] In specific implementation, refer to Figure 3 Step S12 includes:

[0065] S121. When the humidity is greater than the preset humidity threshold, control both the water heater 1 and the circulating water pump 2 to be in the on state.

[0066] Among them, heating and dehumidification can be controlled solely by humidity.

[0067] Humidity thresholds can be set according to actual needs.

[0068] In specific implementation, refer to Figure 3 Step S12 further includes:

[0069] S122. When the humidity is less than or equal to the humidity threshold, in response to the bathroom heating start command, if the temperature is less than the preset first temperature threshold, the water heater 1 and the circulating water pump 2 are both turned on; if the temperature is greater than or equal to the preset second temperature threshold, the water heater 1 and the circulating water pump 2 are both turned off.

[0070] The first temperature threshold is less than the second temperature threshold.

[0071] The first and second temperature thresholds can be set according to the user-defined heating temperature and hysteresis temperature values. The first temperature threshold can be the difference between the heating temperature and the hysteresis temperature value, and the second temperature threshold can be the sum of the heating temperature and the hysteresis temperature value. The preferred hysteresis temperature value is 3 degrees Celsius.

[0072] Frequent startups can be avoided by using the first and second temperature thresholds, and the user's perception deviation is small when the temperature fluctuates within a range of ±3 degrees.

[0073] Humidity threshold, first temperature threshold, and second temperature threshold can be set according to actual needs.

[0074] In specific implementation, refer to Figure 3 Step S12 further includes:

[0075] S123. When the humidity is less than or equal to the humidity threshold, both the water heater 1 and the circulating water pump 2 are kept in the off state.

[0076] Once the humidity has decreased to the predetermined target, the heating and dehumidification process can be stopped.

[0077] In specific implementation, refer to Figure 1 The bathroom drying system also includes: a heat exchanger 6, a first fan 7, and a second fan 8 located at the bathroom vent.

[0078] The outlet of heat exchanger 6 is connected to the inlet of heating branch 3.

[0079] The first fan 7 is used to circulate air from around the heat exchanger 6 into the bathroom.

[0080] The second fan 8 is used to circulate air from inside the bathroom to the outside.

[0081] Control methods also include:

[0082] When the humidity is less than or equal to the humidity threshold and the temperature is greater than the temperature recorded when the water heater was last turned on, the first fan 7 and / or the second fan 8 are controlled to be turned on.

[0083] When the humidity is greater than the humidity threshold, the operating state of the first fan 7 and / or the second fan 8 is controlled to be the same as the operating state of the water heater 1.

[0084] When the temperature is less than or equal to the temperature recorded when the water heater was last turned on, the operating state of the first fan 7 and / or the second fan 8 shall be the same as the operating state of the water heater 1.

[0085] Among them, heating branch 3 can be connected to circulating water pump 2 through heat exchanger 6, the outlet of circulating water pump 2 is connected to the inlet of heat exchanger 6, and the outlet of heat exchanger 6 is connected to the inlet of heating branch 3.

[0086] The temperature recorded the last time the water heater was turned on, that is, the temperature just before dehumidification, which is also the room temperature of the bathroom.

[0087] The hot air generated by heat exchanger 6 and the first fan 7 can further heat and dehumidify the air in the bathroom, enhancing the heating speed and effect, accelerating air circulation to expel hot and humid moisture, and creating a dry and hygienic environment in the bathroom. Positioning heat exchanger 6 before heating branch 3 maximizes the heating and dehumidification effect of heat exchanger 6 and the first fan 7.

[0088] The second fan 8 further accelerates air circulation to expel hot and humid moisture, making the bathroom a dry and hygienic environment.

In the diagram, the thin arrows indicate the direction of water flow, and the thick arrows indicate the direction of air flow.

[0091] The circulating water pump 2 is used to provide water flow power so that the hot water output from the water heater 1 flows through the heating branch 3 and returns to the water heater 1.

[0092] Reference Figure 4 The control system includes:

[0093] The acquisition module 21 is used to acquire the temperature collected by the temperature sensor 4 and the humidity collected by the humidity sensor 5.

[0094] The heating and dehumidification module 22 is used to control the working status of the water heater 1 and the circulating water pump 2 according to the temperature and humidity.

The water heater 1, circulating water pump 2, and heating branch 3 can be connected in a preset order to form a circulation loop, with the circulating water pump 2 providing the water flow power for the circulation loop.

[0096] Understandably, connecting various devices to form a circulation loop may require water pipes and connectors for inter-device connections. The water pipe connected to the inlet of water heater 1 can be designated as inlet circuit 11, and the water pipe connected to the outlet of water heater 1 can be designated as outlet circuit 12. The outlet of inlet circuit 11 is connected to the inlet of water heater 1, the outlet of water heater 1 is connected to the inlet of outlet circuit 12, the outlet of outlet circuit 12 is connected to the inlet of circulating water pump 2, the outlet of circulating water pump 2 is connected to the inlet of heating branch circuit 3, and the outlet of heating branch circuit 3 is connected to the inlet of inlet circuit 11.

[0097] Heating branch 3 may include: a wall-mounted branch and a towel rack branch. The wall-mounted branch is fixed to the bathroom wall (either inside or outside the wall) and / or floor (either inside or outside the floor). The towel rack branch is fixed to the towel rack. The connection between the towel rack branch and the wall-mounted branch may be in series or in parallel. The wall-mounted branch and the towel rack branch may be in a serpentine or concentric circle pattern.

[0098] Wall and floor heating channels can cover an entire wall or floor, or only a portion of it. Through wide-area heating, they evaporate moisture in the bathroom, raising the temperature and lowering humidity, achieving dehumidification and warming, creating a dry and hygienic environment. Towel rack heating channels enhance the dehumidification effect on towel racks, preventing rapid bacterial growth on towels.

[0099] Temperature sensor 4 and humidity sensor 5 can be installed at the bathroom vent or in other places inside the bathroom.

[0100] The working status can be reported as either "on" or "off".

[0101] Water heaters have a high heat output and can heat water quickly. In particular, gas water heaters can have a heat output of over 20kW (kilowatts), which is even faster. They also use circulating heating and avoid the safety hazards such as electric leakage associated with electric heating.

[0102] This embodiment utilizes the hot water provided by the water heater to continuously circulate and heat the water in the bathroom's circulation loop. The water heater's rapid heating capacity can quickly generate a large amount of heat to evaporate the moisture in the bathroom, increase the temperature inside the bathroom, and reduce the humidity, thus achieving the purpose of dehumidification and heating. In conjunction with the fan, the heating speed and effect are further enhanced, and the air circulation is accelerated to expel the hot and humid water vapor, making the bathroom a dry and hygienic environment.

[0103] In practice, the heating and dehumidification module 22 is also used to control both the water heater 1 and the circulating water pump 2 to be in the on state when the humidity is greater than the preset humidity threshold.

[0104] Among them, heating and dehumidification can be controlled solely by humidity.

[0105] Humidity thresholds can be set according to actual needs.

[0106] In specific implementation, the heating and dehumidification module 22 is also used to respond to the bathroom heating start command when the humidity is less than or equal to a humidity threshold. If the temperature is less than a preset first temperature threshold, it controls both the water heater 1 and the circulating water pump 2 to be in the on state. If the temperature is greater than or equal to a preset second temperature threshold, it controls both the water heater 1 and the circulating water pump 2 to be in the off state.

[0107] The first temperature threshold is less than the second temperature threshold.

[0108] The first and second temperature thresholds can be set according to the user-defined heating temperature and hysteresis temperature values. The first temperature threshold can be the difference between the heating temperature and the hysteresis temperature value, and the second temperature threshold can be the sum of the heating temperature and the hysteresis temperature value. The preferred hysteresis temperature value is 3 degrees Celsius.

[0109] Frequent startups can be avoided by using the first and second temperature thresholds, and the user's perception deviation is small when the temperature fluctuates within a range of ±3 degrees.

[0110] Humidity threshold, first temperature threshold, and second temperature threshold can be set according to actual needs.

[0111] In practice, the heating and dehumidification module 22 is also used to control both the water heater 1 and the circulating water pump 2 to be in a closed state when the humidity is less than or equal to the humidity threshold.
