[0002] Against the backdrop of the booming health industry, consumer demand for household water purifiers is constantly expanding the boundaries of product value beyond water quality safety requirements, with product functions gradually shifting from safety to health and comfort. In addition to pure water products, products with a wide range of functions have emerged. Among them, the concept of boiled water (i.e., cooked water) is deeply rooted in consumers' minds and may become the next selling point for water purifiers.
[0003] Currently, the national standard only requires that hot water reach its boiling point within 200ml. Boiled water is produced by heating with an instant heating element. During the heating process, because the volume of cold water in the boiling water setting is too large, and the temperature of the boiled water setting must be controlled after the cold water is boiled first, some of the low-temperature water in the boiling water setting will be transferred to the boiled water setting. This results in the user getting cold water as the first cup of water, which significantly affects the promotion of the boiled water function and the actual user experience of the product.

In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.
[0083] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description.
