[0054] Step 4: The water temperature controller compares the reference water temperature with the target temperature and adjusts the temperature of the smart water tank according to the temperature gradient based on the temperature difference between the reference water temperature and the target temperature.

[0055] In step 3, the water temperature sensor collects the water temperature from the faucet in real time and sends the detected reference water temperature to the water temperature controller, including:

[0056] Step 301: Set the monitoring duration, wherein the monitoring duration is obtained by the following formula: T = T0 + C / V, where T represents the monitoring duration, T0 represents the compensation time, and the value range of T0 is 1.2min-1.5min; C represents the water volume in the water pipe; and V represents the maximum flow rate at the outlet.

[0057] Step 302: When water flows through the outlet, the water temperature sensor starts timing. When the water flow time reaches the end time of the monitoring period, it starts to collect the water temperature of the faucet and uses the water temperature at this time as the reference water temperature.

[0058] The temperature gradient is set according to the following rules:

[0059] For the first two temperature adjustments: the adjustment gradient was 0.8℃ / time, and the interval between each adjustment was 1 minute;

[0060] After two temperature adjustments: the adjustment gradient is 0.3℃ / time - 0.5℃ / time, and the interval between each adjustment is 30s-40s.

[0061] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: the user terminal receives the desired water temperature set by the user in real time and uses the desired water temperature set by the user as the target temperature; the user terminal sends the target temperature to the water temperature controller via wireless transmission; after receiving the target temperature, the water temperature controller controls the smart water tank to adjust the water temperature to the target temperature; the water temperature sensor collects the water temperature from the faucet in real time and sends the detected reference water temperature to the water temperature controller; the water temperature controller compares the reference water temperature with the target temperature and adjusts the temperature of the smart water tank according to the temperature difference between the reference water temperature and the target temperature.

[0062] Specifically, the water temperature sensor collects the water temperature from the faucet in real time and sends the detected reference water temperature to the water temperature controller, including:

[0063] The monitoring duration is set, and the monitoring duration is obtained by the following formula: T = T0 + C / V, where T represents the monitoring duration, T0 represents the compensation time, and the value of T0 ranges from 1.2 min to 1.5 min; C represents the water volume in the water pipe; and V represents the maximum flow rate at the outlet.

[0064] When water flows through the outlet, the water temperature sensor starts timing. When the water flow time reaches the end of the monitoring period, it starts collecting the water temperature from the faucet and uses the water temperature at this time as the reference water temperature.

[0065] Specifically, the water temperature controller compares the reference water temperature with the target temperature and adjusts the temperature of the smart water tank based on the temperature difference between the reference water temperature and the target temperature, including:

[0066] The water temperature controller compares the reference water temperature with the target temperature to obtain a consistency comparison result;

When the temperature gradient changes, the water temperature controller obtains the temperature information fed back by the water temperature sensor in real time until the reference water temperature and the target temperature are consistent.

[0068] The temperature gradient is set according to the following rules:

[0069] For the first two temperature adjustments: the adjustment gradient was 0.8℃ / time, and the interval between each adjustment was 1 minute;

[0070] After two temperature adjustments: the adjustment gradient is 0.3℃ / time - 0.5℃ / time, with an interval of 30s-40s between each adjustment.

[0071] The above technical solution has the following effect: The water temperature regulation device based on temperature recognition proposed in this embodiment has a water temperature regulation function based on temperature recognition. When the user sets the desired temperature, the temperature sensor will detect the water temperature. When the temperature is detected to be too high or too low, the water temperature will be adjusted in time to maintain it within the dynamic range of the set water temperature. This solves the problem of unsuitable water temperature when people use water in daily life and avoids the risk of being scalded by hot water.

[0072] This invention proposes a water temperature regulation method based on temperature recognition, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the water temperature adjustment method includes:

[0073] S1. The user terminal receives the desired water temperature set by the user in real time and uses the desired water temperature set by the user as the target temperature.

[0074] S2. The user terminal sends the target temperature to the water temperature controller via wireless transmission. After receiving the target temperature, the water temperature controller controls the smart water tank to adjust the water temperature to the target temperature.

[0075] S3. The water temperature sensor collects the water temperature from the faucet in real time and sends the detected reference water temperature to the water temperature controller.

[0076] S4. The water temperature controller compares the reference water temperature with the target temperature and adjusts the temperature of the smart water tank according to the temperature difference between the reference water temperature and the target temperature.

[0077] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: First, the user terminal receives the desired water temperature set by the user in real time and uses the user-set desired water temperature as the target temperature; then, the user terminal sends the target temperature to the water temperature controller via wireless transmission, and the water temperature controller controls the smart water tank to adjust the water temperature to the target temperature after receiving the target temperature; then, the water temperature sensor collects the water temperature from the faucet in real time and sends the detected reference water temperature to the water temperature controller; finally, the water temperature controller compares the reference water temperature with the target temperature and adjusts the temperature of the smart water tank according to the temperature difference between the reference water temperature and the target temperature.

[0078] The above technical solution has the following effect: The water temperature regulation method based on temperature recognition proposed in this embodiment has a water temperature regulation function based on temperature recognition. When the user sets the desired temperature, the temperature sensor will detect the water temperature. When the temperature is detected to be too high or too low, the water temperature will be adjusted in time to maintain it within the dynamic range of the set water temperature. This solves the problem of unsuitable water temperature when people use water in daily life and avoids the risk of being scalded by hot water.

[0079] In one embodiment of the present invention, the water temperature sensor collects the water temperature from the faucet in real time and sends the detected reference water temperature to the water temperature controller, comprising:

[0080] S301. Set the monitoring duration, wherein the monitoring duration is obtained by the following formula: T = T0 + C / V, where T represents the monitoring duration, T0 represents the compensation time, and the value range of T0 is 1.2min-1.5min; C represents the water volume in the water pipe; and V represents the maximum flow rate at the outlet.

[0081] S302. When water flows through the outlet, the water temperature sensor starts timing. When the water flow time reaches the end of the monitoring period, it starts collecting the water temperature of the faucet and uses the water temperature at this time as the reference water temperature.

[0082] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: First, the monitoring duration is set, which is obtained by the following formula: T = T0 + C / V, where T represents the monitoring duration, T0 represents the compensation time, and the value range of T0 is 1.2min-1.5min; C represents the water volume in the water pipe; and V represents the maximum flow rate at the outlet. Then, when water flows through the outlet, the water temperature sensor starts timing. When the water flow time reaches the end of the monitoring duration, the water temperature at the faucet is collected and used as the reference water temperature.

[0083] The effect of the above technical solution is as follows: Since the water pipe has a certain length, a portion of water will be stored in the pipe in advance. When the faucet is first turned on, the water flowing out is all the water stored in the pipe in advance. This portion of water cannot be temperature controlled, so the water temperature cannot reflect the actual water temperature corresponding to the smart water tank. Therefore, by monitoring the above duration, accurate water level and temperature can be obtained, thereby providing accurate reference data for subsequent temperature adjustment.

[0084] In one embodiment of the present invention, the water temperature controller compares the reference water temperature with the target temperature and adjusts the temperature of the smart water tank according to the temperature difference between the reference water temperature and the target temperature, including:

[0085] S401, The water temperature controller compares the reference water temperature with the target temperature to obtain a consistency comparison result;

[0086] S402. When the consistency comparison result shows that there is a temperature difference between the reference water temperature and the target temperature, the intelligent water tank is controlled to adjust the temperature according to the preset temperature gradient based on the temperature difference value. When the temperature gradient changes, the water temperature controller obtains the temperature information fed back by the water temperature sensor in real time until the reference water temperature and the target temperature are consistent.

[0087] The temperature gradient is set according to the following rules:

[0088] For the first two temperature adjustments: the adjustment gradient was 0.8℃ / time, and the interval between each adjustment was 1 minute;

[0089] After two temperature adjustments: the adjustment gradient is 0.3℃ / time - 0.5℃ / time, and the interval between each adjustment is 30s-40s.

[0090] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: First, the water temperature controller compares the reference water temperature with the target temperature to obtain a consistency comparison result; then, when the consistency comparison result shows that there is a temperature difference between the reference water temperature and the target temperature, the intelligent water tank is controlled to adjust the temperature according to a preset temperature gradient based on the temperature difference value, and the water temperature controller obtains the temperature information fed back by the water temperature sensor in real time when the temperature gradient changes, until the reference water temperature and the target temperature are consistent.

[0091] The temperature gradient is set according to the following rules:

[0092] For the first two temperature adjustments: the adjustment gradient was 0.8℃ / time, and the interval between each adjustment was 1 minute;

[0093] After two temperature adjustments: the adjustment gradient is 0.3℃ / time - 0.5℃ / time, and the interval between each adjustment is 30s-40s.

[0094] The effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the above method can effectively improve the temperature control efficiency, thereby reaching the user's preset temperature as quickly as possible. At the same time, the above method can improve the stability of temperature adjustment while effectively improving the efficiency of water temperature control. It prevents the temperature adjustment gradient from being too large, which would cause the temperature adjustment to be too abrupt and exceed the response time of the intelligent water tank temperature adjustment, resulting in large fluctuations in water temperature adjustment and thus reducing the efficiency of temperature adjustment to reach the target temperature.

[0095] This invention proposes a water temperature regulation system based on temperature recognition, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the water temperature regulation system includes:

[0096] The target temperature acquisition module is used for the user terminal to receive the desired water temperature set by the user in real time, and to use the desired water temperature set by the user as the target temperature.

[0097] The adjustment and control module is used for the user terminal to send the target temperature to the water temperature controller via wireless transmission, and the water temperature controller controls the smart water tank to adjust the water temperature to the target temperature after receiving the target temperature;

[0098] A water temperature acquisition module is used to acquire the water temperature of the faucet in real time by the water temperature sensor and send the detected reference water temperature to the water temperature controller.

[0099] The comparison and adjustment module is used by the water temperature controller to compare the reference water temperature with the target temperature and adjust the temperature of the smart water tank according to the temperature difference between the reference water temperature and the target temperature.

[0100] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: First, the target temperature acquisition module controls the user terminal to receive the water temperature set by the user in real time, and uses the water temperature set by the user as the target temperature.

[0101] Then, the user terminal is controlled by the adjustment and control module to send the target temperature to the water temperature controller via wireless transmission. After receiving the target temperature, the water temperature controller controls the smart water tank to adjust the water temperature to the target temperature.

[0102] Then, the water temperature acquisition module is used to control the water temperature sensor to collect the water temperature of the faucet in real time, and the detected reference water temperature is sent to the water temperature controller.

[0103] Finally, the comparison and adjustment module controls the water temperature controller to compare the reference water temperature with the target temperature, and adjusts the temperature of the smart water tank according to the temperature difference between the reference water temperature and the target temperature.

[0104] The above technical solution has the following effect: The water temperature regulation system based on temperature recognition proposed in this embodiment has a water temperature regulation function based on temperature recognition. When the user sets the desired temperature, the temperature sensor will detect the water temperature. When the temperature is detected to be too high or too low, the water temperature will be adjusted in time to maintain it within the dynamic range of the set water temperature. This solves the problem of unsuitable water temperature when people use water in daily life and avoids the risk of being scalded by hot water.

[0105] In one embodiment of the present invention, the water temperature acquisition module includes:

[0106] The setting module is used to set the monitoring duration, which is obtained by the following formula: T = T0 + C / V, where T represents the monitoring duration, T0 represents the compensation time (the value of T0 ranges from 1.2 min to 1.5 min), C represents the water volume in the water pipe, and V represents the maximum flow rate at the outlet.

[0107] The reference water temperature acquisition module is used to control the water temperature sensor to start timing when water flows through the outlet. When the water flow time reaches the end time of the monitoring period, it starts to collect the water temperature of the faucet and uses the water temperature at this time as the reference water temperature.

[0108] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: First, the monitoring duration is set through the setting module, wherein the monitoring duration is obtained by the following formula: T = T0 + C / V, where T represents the monitoring duration, T0 represents the compensation time, and the value range of T0 is 1.2min-1.5min; C represents the water volume in the water pipe; and V represents the maximum flow rate at the outlet. Then, the reference water temperature acquisition module controls the water temperature sensor to start timing when water flows through the outlet. When the water flow time reaches the end time of the monitoring duration, the water temperature at the faucet is collected and used as the reference water temperature.

[0109] The effect of the above technical solution is as follows: Since the water pipe has a certain length, a portion of water will be stored in the pipe in advance. When the faucet is first turned on, the water flowing out is all the water stored in the pipe in advance. This portion of water cannot be temperature controlled, so the water temperature cannot reflect the actual water temperature corresponding to the smart water tank. Therefore, by monitoring the above duration, accurate water level and temperature can be obtained, thereby providing accurate reference data for subsequent temperature adjustment.

[0110] In one embodiment of the present invention, the comparison adjustment module includes:

[0111] The comparison result acquisition module is used by the water temperature controller to compare the reference water temperature with the target temperature to obtain a consistency comparison result.

[0112] The temperature regulation module is used to control the smart water tank to adjust the temperature according to a preset temperature gradient based on the temperature difference value when the consistency comparison result shows that there is a temperature difference between the reference water temperature and the target temperature. When the temperature gradient changes, the water temperature controller obtains the temperature information fed back by the water temperature sensor in real time until the reference water temperature and the target temperature are consistent.

[0113] The temperature gradient is set according to the following rules:

[0114] For the first two temperature adjustments: the adjustment gradient was 0.8℃ / time, and the interval between each adjustment was 1 minute;

[0115] After two temperature adjustments: the adjustment gradient is 0.3℃ / time - 0.5℃ / time, and the interval between each adjustment is 30s-40s.

[0116] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: First, the comparison result acquisition module controls the water temperature controller to compare the reference water temperature with the target temperature to obtain a consistency comparison result; then, when the consistency comparison result shows that there is a temperature difference between the reference water temperature and the target temperature, the temperature adjustment module controls the smart water tank to adjust the temperature according to a preset temperature gradient based on the temperature difference value. When the temperature gradient changes, the water temperature controller obtains the temperature information fed back by the water temperature sensor in real time until the reference water temperature and the target temperature are consistent.

[0117] The effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the above method can effectively improve the temperature control efficiency, thereby reaching the user's preset temperature as quickly as possible. At the same time, the above method can improve the stability of temperature adjustment while effectively improving the efficiency of water temperature control. It prevents the temperature adjustment gradient from being too large, which would cause the temperature adjustment to be too abrupt and exceed the response time of the intelligent water tank temperature adjustment, resulting in large fluctuations in water temperature adjustment and thus reducing the efficiency of temperature adjustment to reach the target temperature.
