The driving assembly is connected with the movable plate 200 and is used to drive the movable plate 200 to move in the box body 100 to adjust the size of the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12. The heating disc 600 is arranged on the box body 100 and is located on the wall surface of the box body 100 surrounding the first chamber 11, and is used to heat the water in the first chamber 11.

[0037] The wall surface includes, but is not limited to, the inner wall surface, the outer wall surface, the left surface, the right surface, the top, and the bottom of the box body.

Therefore, the orientation terms may change according to different positions and different use states. Therefore, the orientation terms or other orientation terms should not be interpreted as restrictive terms.

[0038] In one embodiment, the first chamber 11 is used to store filtered water that needs to be heated, and the storage amount of hot water is dynamically stored according to the user's demand. The second chamber 12 is used to store filtered water at room temperature.

[0039] The box body is divided into a first chamber and a second chamber by the movable plate. The two chambers are used to store water in different states. The hot water is dynamically stored by moving the movable plate to meet the user's demand, facilitate the user's use, and reduce energy consumption.

[0041] The material of the sealing member is selected according to the actual situation, such as silicone, rubber, synthetic resin, metal, plant fiber, animal leather, etc.

[0042] In one embodiment, the drive assembly includes a telescopic tube 300 and a drive rod 400 arranged in the telescopic tube. One end of the telescopic tube 300 is connected to the movable plate 200, and the other end is located on the box body 100. The drive rod 400 drives the telescopic tube 300 to perform telescopic movement. The telescopic tube 300 drives the movable plate 200 to move in the box body 100 to adjust the size of the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12. The size of the two chambers is dynamically adjusted according to the user's demand to obtain water data according to the user's use habit, such as water temperature data and water quantity data used by the user. The overall water temperature and water quantity of the user in a certain period are analyzed according to the water data, and the size of the two chambers is dynamically adjusted according to the analysis result. Or get the user's reservation water temperature and water quantity, dynamically adjust the size of the two chambers according to the user's setting data. When the required water temperature is higher, the volume of the first chamber is adjusted to be larger than that of the second chamber. When the required water temperature is lower, the volume of the first chamber is adjusted to be smaller than that of the second chamber, so as to adjust the storage amount of hot water and room temperature water, and reduce the energy consumption when heating hot water.

[0043] The driving rod can be a cylinder, a hydraulic rod, a linear motor, a motor plus a worm gear, or a gear rack, etc.

[0044] In one embodiment, the box includes a first limiting component 101 and a second limiting component 102, both of which are fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the box 100. The second limiting component 102 is arranged opposite to the first limiting component 101. The driving component is used to drive the movable plate 200 to move between the first limiting component 101 and the second limiting component 102. The limiting component is used to limit the activity boundary of the movable plate 200, so that the movable plate moves within a certain range in the box. The limiting components are provided with scales to measure the water level, thereby ensuring the balance of the clean water stored in the two chambers.

[0045] The position of the limiting component can be set according to actual conditions, such as 1 / 3 of the box or 1 / 4 of the box.

[0046] In one embodiment, a second sealing member is arranged between the telescopic pipe and the movable plate, which is used to ensure that no clean water enters the telescopic pipe when the movable plate moves relative to the box.

[0047] In one embodiment, a third sealing member is arranged between the telescopic pipe and the box, which is used to ensure that no clean water enters the telescopic pipe when the movable plate moves relative to the box.

[0048] In one embodiment, a second sealing member is arranged between the telescopic pipe and the movable plate, and a third sealing member is arranged between the telescopic pipe and the box, which are used to ensure that no clean water enters the telescopic pipe when the movable plate moves relative to the box.

[0049] In one embodiment, the driving component further includes a support frame 500, which is fixed to the outer wall of the box 100. The driving rod 400 is fixed to the support frame 500, and the support frame 500 is used to support the driving rod 400.

[0050] In one embodiment, the water storage bucket further includes a controller. An electromagnetic valve 202 is arranged on the movable plate, and the electromagnetic valve 202 is electrically connected to the controller. The controller is used to open the electromagnetic valve 202 to connect the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 when the state of the water in the water storage bucket meets the water flow condition, so that the water in the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 flows to each other.

[0051] The water flow condition can be set according to actual conditions, such as the condition that the water temperature set by the user is less than the water temperature of the clean water in the first chamber.

[0052] When the water storage bucket is in a heating state and the water temperature in the first chamber is greater than the water temperature in the second chamber, the electromagnetic valve is in a closed state, so as to ensure that the water in the first chamber and the second chamber does not flow into each other.

[0053] In one embodiment, the box body and the movable plate are made of heat preservation materials, and the movable plate is made of a heat insulation material, so as to prevent heat transfer between the first chamber and the second chamber and improve the heat preservation effect of the box body.

[0054] The working principle of the water storage bucket will be further described below. Figure 1 The working principle of the water storage bucket will be further described below.

[0055] The movable plate 200 of the water storage bucket divides the water storage bucket into a first chamber 11 and a second chamber 12. The first chamber 11 is used for containing filtered water that needs to be heated, and the heating disc 600 is used for heating the water in the first chamber 11. The second chamber 12 is used for containing filtered water at room temperature. The driving rod 400 drives the telescopic pipe 300 to perform telescopic movement, and the telescopic pipe 300 drives the movable plate 200 to move in the box body 100, so as to adjust the sizes of the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12. The sizes of the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 are dynamically adjusted according to the water consumption set by the user. The support frame 500 is used for supporting the driving rod 400. There is a first sealing element 201 between the movable plate 200 and the box body 100, which prevents the water in the two chambers from flowing into each other. There is a second sealing element between the telescopic pipe 300 and the movable plate 200, and a third sealing element between the telescopic pipe 300 and the box body 100, so as to ensure that no water in the telescopic pipe 300 enters when the movable plate 200 moves relative to the box body 100. The first limiting assembly 101 of the box body 100 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall surface of the box body 100, and the movable plate 200 is located between the first limiting assembly 101 and the telescopic pipe 300, which is used for limiting the activity boundary of the movable plate 200. When the state of the water in the water storage bucket meets the water flow condition, the controller is used for opening the electromagnetic valve 202 to make the water in the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 flow into each other, for example, when the water temperature set by the user is less than the water temperature of the water in the first chamber, the electromagnetic valve 202 is opened to make the water in the two chambers flow into each other to adjust the water temperature.

[0056] The working principle of the water storage bucket will be further described below. Figure 1 The water outlet control process of the water storage bucket will be further described.

[0057] As shown in Figure 2 The water outlet control method of the water storage bucket provided by the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

[0058] S21, determining the volume of each chamber.

[0059] The volume of each chamber is adjusted according to the water consumption habit, and the water consumption habit is determined according to the water consumption data of the water storage bucket. The water consumption habit includes the water temperature, the water consumption, the water consumption time period, etc.

[0060] In one embodiment, determining the water usage habit comprises: obtaining current setting information of the water storage bucket, determining the water usage habit corresponding to the current setting information according to a correspondence between the setting information and the water usage habit; wherein the correspondence is determined according to the water usage data.

[0061] The current setting information includes water temperature, water volume, and water time period set by the user, etc.

[0062] The water usage data of the water storage bucket is historical data, including but not limited to setting information before the user uses water, water outlet information, etc., such as water temperature, water volume, and water time period, water outlet flow rate, etc.

[0063] Obtaining the water usage data of the water storage bucket comprises: obtaining the water usage data according to the user's habit of using the water storage bucket, obtaining the water temperature, water volume, and water time period of the user using the water storage bucket from the cloud data storage location of the water storage bucket, analyzing and calculating the total water volume and water temperature of the user in a certain time period according to the stored water usage data, and determining the water usage habit corresponding to the current setting information according to the correspondence between the setting information and the water usage habit.

[0064] By obtaining the water usage data to determine the water usage habit, and then determining the water outlet condition of the water storage bucket according to the water usage habit, the volume of the water storage bucket chamber is dynamically adjusted, and the hot water is dynamically stored, so that the water temperature of the water outlet reaches the temperature set by the user, the waiting time of the user is reduced, the user is facilitated, the needs of the user are met, the user experience is improved, and energy consumption is low.

[0065] In one embodiment, the correspondence is obtained by fitting the water usage data obtained in different time periods, representing the correspondence between the setting information and the water usage habit. In actual application, the time period, water temperature, and water volume used by the user are inconsistent, and the water temperature and water volume required by the user are inconsistent in different time periods. By fitting the water usage data in different time periods, the water usage habit of the user is analyzed and calculated, and the water usage habit of the user in a certain time period is determined according to the correspondence, and the heating condition of the water storage bucket is determined according to the water usage habit of the user. For example, when the water volume required by the user is greater than M (L) and the water temperature is greater than N (℃), it is judged that the hot water volume required by the user exceeds the heating capacity of the current water storage bucket, that is, the user needs to wait for a long time for the total water outlet, and the heating function of the water storage bucket needs to be started in advance, which facilitates the user and improves the user experience.

[0066] In one embodiment, the water usage data is used as a training sample, a neural network is trained using the training sample, and the trained neural network represents the correspondence between the setting information and the water usage habit. The input parameters of the neural network include the setting information and the water usage data, and the output parameters include the water usage habit.

[0067] In an embodiment, the current setting information further comprises reservation information of the user, such as a water use time period, a water temperature, a water volume, etc. reserved by the user, and the step of obtaining the current setting information of the water storage bucket further comprises: obtaining reservation information of the water storage bucket, wherein the reservation information comprises a water temperature and a reservation water volume reserved by the user, a time period during which the user reserves to use the water storage bucket, and a water temperature, etc. The heating of the water storage bucket is determined according to the reservation information of the user. If the reservation information of the user is inconsistent with the water use habit obtained through the corresponding relationship, the reservation information of the user is used as the criterion. For example, the user reserves M(L)N(℃) water, and if the water use habit of the user during the time period is Q(L)P(℃) according to the corresponding relationship, the heating of the water storage bucket is based on M(L)N(℃) at this time.

[0068] In an embodiment, the water storage bucket comprises at least two chambers, each chamber is used to store water at different temperatures, the heating of the water storage bucket is determined according to the current setting information. If hot water above 60℃ is frequently used during a certain time period, for example, at 10 o'clock in the morning, the user needs to use 2L of water at a temperature of 95℃, before 10 o'clock in the morning, the water storage bucket adjusts the position of the movable plate according to the amount of hot water used by the user, determines the heating of the water storage bucket, and calculates the time required to heat 2L of water from room temperature to 95℃ according to the current power of the heater, which is A minutes. At the time of 10:00-A, the water storage bucket starts to heat the water at room temperature, so that the user can quickly get hot water at 95℃ at 10 o'clock.

[0069] In an embodiment, determining the water use habit comprises: obtaining the current environmental temperature and the current setting information of the water storage bucket, and determining the water use habit corresponding to the current environmental temperature and the current setting information according to the corresponding relationship among the environmental temperature, the setting information, and the water use habit. The environmental temperature affects the heat preservation of the water storage bucket. For example, in summer, the environmental temperature is high, the heat dissipation of the water storage bucket is slow, the water use time period is increased, and the temperature of the hot water in the water storage bucket is reduced slowly for a long time; in winter, the environmental temperature is low, the heat dissipation of the water storage bucket is fast, the water use time period is shortened, and the heat dissipation of the water storage bucket is avoided to cause the water temperature of the water storage bucket to be lower than the temperature required by the user.

[0070] Similar to the corresponding relationship between the setting information and the water use habit, the corresponding relationship among the environmental temperature, the setting information, and the water use habit can be obtained by fitting water use data or a neural network obtained by training, and the specific implementation process is not described here.

[0071] S22, determining a water outlet strategy of the water storage bucket according to the volume of each chamber.

[0072] The water storage bucket comprises at least two chambers, each chamber is used to store water at different temperatures.

[0073] In one embodiment, the water storage tank comprises a movable plate arranged in the water storage tank for separating the water storage tank into at least two chambers, and adjusting the volume of each chamber according to the water usage habit comprises:

[0074] The position of the movable plate is adjusted according to the water usage habit to adjust the volume of each chamber of the water storage tank.

[0075] The volume of the chamber of the water storage tank is adjusted by adjusting the movable plate, the position of the movable plate is moved, the hot water is dynamically stored, the user's demand is met, the user is facilitated to use, and energy consumption is reduced.

[0076] In one embodiment, the movable plate separates the water storage tank into a first chamber and a second chamber, the first chamber is used for storing water at a first temperature, and the second chamber is used for storing water at a second temperature, the water usage habit comprises water temperature and water quantity. The position of the movable plate is adjusted according to the water usage habit, comprising: when the water temperature of the water at the first temperature is not greater than a first threshold value, the movable plate is adjusted to make the volume ratio of the first chamber to the second chamber a first coefficient; when the water temperature of the water at the first temperature is greater than a second threshold value, the movable plate is adjusted to make the volume ratio of the first chamber to the second chamber a second coefficient; wherein the first coefficient is less than the second coefficient.

[0077] Wherein, the values of the first temperature, the second temperature, the first threshold value, the second threshold value, the first coefficient, and the second coefficient are set according to actual conditions, the first temperature is greater than the second temperature, for example, the first temperature is 60℃, and the second temperature is 27℃.

[0078] In the embodiment of the application, the water at the first temperature is hot water, and the water at the second temperature is cold water. The tank is separated into a first chamber and a second chamber by the movable plate, and the two chambers are used for storing water at different temperatures. The first chamber is used for storing filtered water that needs to be heated, and the storage amount of the hot water is dynamically stored according to the user's demand. The second chamber is used for storing filtered cold water.

[0079] In order to ensure the storage amount of normal temperature water of the water storage tank, the volume ratio of the first chamber to the second chamber is 2:1. When the user's demand for hot water is small at a certain moment, i.e., the water quantity is small, for example, the water temperature is 60℃, the volume ratio of the first chamber to the second chamber is adjusted to 1.5:1. When the user's demand for hot water is large at a certain moment, i.e., the water quantity is large, for example, the water temperature is 80℃, the position of the movable plate is moved to make the volume of the first chamber larger, and the volume ratio of the first chamber to the second chamber is 4:1, and the temperature of the hot water is heated to 100℃. The volume of the first chamber is increased to make the amount of heated hot water more, so as to meet the user's demand for water temperature and water quantity.

[0080] According to the user's demand to dynamically adjust the size of the two chambers, the water use data is obtained according to the user's use habit, such as the water temperature and the water volume used by the user, the overall water temperature and the water volume used by the user in a certain period of time are analyzed according to the water use data, and the size of the two chambers is dynamically adjusted by moving the movable plate according to the analysis result; or the water temperature and the water volume reserved by the user are obtained, and the size of the two chambers is dynamically adjusted according to the data set by the user. When the required water temperature is higher, the volume of the first chamber is adjusted to be greater than the volume of the second chamber; when the required water temperature is lower, the volume of the first chamber is adjusted to be less than the volume of the second chamber, so as to adjust the storage amount of hot water and normal temperature clean water, and reduce the energy consumption when heating hot water.

[0081] In one embodiment, when the volume of water in the first chamber is less than a third threshold value, the first chamber is heated, wherein the third threshold value is determined according to the water use habit.

[0082] When the volume of water in the first chamber is less than the third threshold value, i.e. the volume of hot water is not enough, the water needs to be heated to increase the temperature of the water in the first chamber, so that the water outlet of the water storage bucket reaches the water temperature and the water volume required by the user, for example, the volume of water in the first chamber is 1.5L, and the water volume determined according to the water use habit is 2L, then the first chamber is heated. The third threshold value is determined according to the water use habit, which is consistent with the user's use habit, is convenient for the user to use and improves the user experience.

[0083] In one embodiment, when the temperature of water in the first chamber is less than a fourth threshold value, the first chamber is heated, wherein the fourth threshold value is determined according to the water use habit.

[0084] When the temperature of water in the first chamber is less than the fourth threshold value, i.e. the temperature of hot water is not enough to reach the required temperature, the water needs to be heated to increase the temperature of the water in the first chamber, so that the water outlet of the water storage bucket reaches the water temperature and the water volume required by the user, for example, the water in the first chamber is 40℃, and the required temperature is 60℃, then the first chamber is heated. The fourth threshold value is determined according to the water use habit, which is consistent with the user's use habit, is convenient for the user to use and improves the user experience.

[0085] In one embodiment, when the volume of water in the first chamber is less than a third threshold value, and the temperature is less than a fourth threshold value, the first chamber is heated, wherein the third threshold value and the fourth threshold value are determined according to the water use habit.

[0086] When the water volume in the first chamber is less than the third threshold value and the temperature of the water in the first chamber is less than the fourth threshold value, i.e. the temperature and volume of the hot water are not enough to reach the temperature required by the user, the water needs to be heated to increase the temperature of the water in the first chamber so that the water outlet of the water storage bucket reaches the water consumption temperature and water consumption volume required by the user, for example, the water volume in the first chamber is 1.5L and the temperature is 40℃, and the water consumption volume required by the user is 2L and the water consumption temperature is 60℃, then the first chamber is heated. The third threshold value and the fourth threshold value are determined according to the water consumption habit, which is consistent with the use habit of the user, is convenient for the user to use and improves the user experience.

[0087] In one embodiment, the setting information includes a set water temperature, and the water storage bucket further includes a solenoid valve arranged on the movable plate, which is used to open the solenoid valve when the temperature of the water in the first chamber is not less than the set water temperature so that the temperature of the water in the first chamber is equal to the set water temperature.

[0088] When the state of the water in the water storage bucket meets the water circulation condition, the solenoid valve is opened to make the first chamber and the second chamber communicate, so that the water in the first chamber and the second chamber circulates with each other, the water in the first chamber is hot water, the water in the second chamber is cold water, and the water in the two chambers circulates with each other, so that the temperature of the water in the first chamber is equal to the set temperature, for example, the water consumption temperature is 30℃ and the temperature of the water in the first chamber is 40℃. The water circulation condition is set according to the actual situation, for example, the condition is that the water temperature set by the user is less than the water temperature of the clean water in the first chamber.

[0089] When the water storage bucket is in the heating state and the temperature of the water in the first chamber is greater than the temperature of the water in the second chamber, the solenoid valve is in the closed state to ensure that the water in the first chamber and the second chamber does not circulate with each other.

[0090] In one embodiment, the water outlet strategy of the water storage bucket is determined according to the volume of each chamber, which includes: judging whether the water consumption temperature is greater than a first temperature threshold value; if the water consumption temperature is greater than the first temperature threshold value, determining the temperature per second that the water storage bucket can heat according to the power of the water storage bucket; and determining the water outlet volume of the first chamber and the water outlet volume of the second chamber of the water storage bucket according to the temperature per second that the water storage bucket can heat.

[0091] The first temperature threshold value is set according to the actual situation.

[0092] If the water consumption temperature is greater than the temperature of the water in the first chamber, for example, the water consumption temperature is 40℃ and the temperature of the water in the first chamber is 30℃, the maximum temperature per second that can be heated is determined according to the heating power of the water storage bucket, the hot water is quickly outlet according to the user requirement, the temperature of the hot water reaches the temperature set by the user, the heat loss during water outlet is reduced, the hot water is stored according to the use habit of the user for the user to use, and the energy consumption of the hot water heating is reduced.

[0093] In one embodiment, further comprising: obtaining a water use habit, the water use habit including a water use temperature and a water use amount; determining whether the water use temperature is equal to the second temperature threshold and whether the water use amount is equal to the capacity threshold; when the water use temperature is not equal to the second temperature threshold and the water use amount is greater than the capacity threshold, the volume ratio of the first chamber to the second chamber is the third coefficient, if the user needs a large amount of hot water at a certain time and the set temperature is greater than the temperature of the first chamber, the movable plate is placed at the maximum position of the first chamber, and the temperature of the hot water is heated to 100 DEG C.

[0094] Wherein, the second temperature threshold and the third coefficient are set according to actual conditions.

[0095] In one embodiment, the first chamber is used to hold water at a first temperature, and the second chamber is used to hold water at a second temperature; when the first temperature is less than the current ambient temperature, the water flowing out of the water outlet of the water storage bucket is the water in the first chamber.

[0096] The first temperature is the required temperature calculated according to the user's water use habit and water use amount and heated, if the first temperature is less than the current ambient temperature, it is considered that the user's water demand in this period is basically 0, of course, it may also be that the user just starts to use the water storage bucket, at this time the water use habit has not been recorded, at this time the first temperature is equal to the current ambient temperature, at this time the user uses water only according to the current normal water storage bucket heating.

[0097] In one embodiment, the flow rate of the water outlet of the water storage bucket is equal to the flow rate of the water outlet of the water purifier. To ensure the maximum water output and heat loss, the maximum water output of the water purifier is kept consistent with the maximum water output of the water storage bucket, so that the water outlet flow rate of the water storage bucket is increased, which is convenient for rapid water outlet and meets the user's water demand.

[0098] The working principle of the water outlet of the water storage bucket will be described in detail below:

[0099] In one embodiment, the water storage bucket is located on the water dispenser, and the water dispenser further comprises a water purifier, and the output end of the water purifier is communicated with the water storage bucket. When the user starts to demand hot water, the water storage bucket starts to heat, if the user needs a large amount of hot water at a certain time, the movable plate is placed at the maximum position of the first chamber, and the temperature of the hot water is heated to 100℃. If the user needs hot water at N℃, the ambient temperature (the temperature of the water in the second chamber) is M℃, and the temperature of the water in the first chamber is K℃, wherein K is the temperature that needs to be heated according to the user's water usage habit and water usage, if the water usage demand is large at a certain time, which exceeds the capacity of the first chamber, it is directly heated to 100℃. In order to ensure the maximum water output and the minimum heat loss, the maximum water output of the water purifier and the maximum water output of the water storage bucket are kept consistent, that is, the water outlet of the first chamber is used when the user uses hot water, so that the water outlet flow rate of the water storage bucket is increased, which is convenient for rapid water outlet and meets the user's water demand. The maximum flow rate of the water outlet of the water purifier is Q1 L / s, the maximum flow rate of the water outlet of the water storage bucket is Q1 L / s, the mixed temperature = (temperature 1*mass 1+temperature 2*mass 2) / total mass, and according to the mass calculation formula: m=ρV (m is mass, ρ is density, and V is volume), the maximum mass of the water outlet of the water purifier per second is Q1 kg, and the maximum water output of the water outlet of the water storage bucket is Q1 kg. At this time, it is assumed that the hot water output is Q2 L / s, the actual water output of the water storage bucket is Q3 L / s, and the water storage bucket needs to mix the water (cold water, hot water) of the two chambers when hot water is demanded. For example, the user needs a temperature of 65℃ at a certain time, and the hot water chamber is 90℃ at this time, so the first and second chambers need to be mixed to obtain the temperature required by the user, so Q2+Q3=Q1, and the mixed temperature calculation formula is: N*Q1=(M*Q2+K*Q3), Q2=(K-N)*Q1 / (K-M), and Q3=(N-M)*Q1 / (K-M). If the water temperature K is less than or equal to M, the water in the first chamber is also used as normal temperature purified water, if the set temperature is greater than K, the water in the first chamber is used preferentially, and the movable plate returns to the right end while the water is used. The right side stores water and heats again when the user needs water next time, and then the heater of the water outlet of the water purifier starts to work, heats the current water in the second chamber to the calculated required temperature, and then mixes the water in the first chamber to obtain the temperature selected by the user.

[0100] If the user's hot water demand in a certain time period is not a uniform temperature, that is, the user uses different water temperatures in the same period, for example, the user sets the drinking water temperature to 85 DEG C at 9 o'clock today and 65 DEG C at 9 o'clock tomorrow, then the user's hot water demand at 9 o'clock is not a uniform temperature, and it is also possible that the user selects different water temperatures in the same period in winter and summer, the mixed temperature needs to be calculated according to the user's water use habit, and the mixed temperature is calculated according to the formula mixed temperature = (temperature 1 * mass 1 + temperature 2 * mass 2 +... + temperature N * mass N) / (mass 1 + mass 2 +... + mass N) to obtain the accurate mixed temperature and the total mass (mass 1 + mass 2 +... + mass N), wherein N is the water use habit and water use amount in a plurality of time periods, the water temperature required by the user in a certain period is calculated according to the user's water use habit and water use amount, so as to provide drinking water quickly in the future in the same period. If the total mass is less than the maximum capacity of the first chamber, heat directly to the mixed temperature, if the total mass is greater than the maximum capacity of the first chamber, directly fill the first chamber with water and heat directly to 100 DEG C to ensure user water.

[0101] If the water temperature in the current water storage bucket cannot reach the temperature required by the user, then the maximum temperature P that can be heated per second is calculated according to the power of the heater at the outlet of the current water purifier, at this time N = (P*Q2+K*Q3) / (Q2+Q3), Q2+Q3<=Q1, P<=100 (the highest water temperature); Q2 = (K-N)*Q3 / (N-P), wherein K is the water temperature in the water storage bucket, N is the user water temperature, that is, the user set water temperature, P is the maximum temperature that can be heated per second calculated according to the power of the heater at the outlet of the current water purifier, Q2 is the mass of the water outlet from the first chamber, P*Q2 indicates the maximum heating capacity of the water outlet of the current water purifier, that is, Q2 kg of water can be heated to P per second, K*Q3 indicates the mass and temperature of the hot water outlet from the first chamber. N < P <= 100, the larger P is, the smaller Q2 is, and the larger Q3 is, in the case of saving user time, hot water is used preferentially, and then the water outlet of the water purifier is heated. According to the user's demand, hot water is quickly discharged, and the temperature of the hot water reaches the temperature set by the user, reducing the heat loss during water discharge, according to the user's use habit to store hot water for the user to use, reducing the energy consumption of hot water heating.
