[0055] Please see Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the frame structure of a water purifier according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the frame of the water purifier may include a booster pump 11, a membrane chromatograph 12, an ultraviolet sterilizer 13, a water flow measuring device 14, a hot water outlet pump 15, a heating element 16, an inlet water temperature detection device 17, and an outlet water temperature detection device 18. Specifically, the inlet of the water purifier is connected in sequence to the booster pump 11, the membrane chromatograph 12, the ultraviolet sterilizer 13, the water flow measuring device 14, the hot water outlet pump 15, and the heating element 16. The output end of the heating element 16 is connected to the outlet of the water purifier. The inlet water temperature detection device 17 is located between the hot water outlet pump 15 and the heating element 16, and the outlet water temperature detection device 18 is located between the outlet of the water purifier and the heating element 16. It should be noted that the booster pump 11, the membrane chromatograph 12, the ultraviolet sterilizer 13, the water flow measuring device 14, the hot water outlet pump 15, the heating element 16, the inlet water temperature detection device 17, and the outlet water temperature detection device 18 are all installed on the pipeline to detect, disinfect, or control the water in the pipeline.
[0056] In one specific embodiment, the booster pump 11 is used to pressurize the water in the pipeline, the membrane chromatograph 12 can effectively separate and purify various biological macromolecules in the water, such as proteins, peptides, enzymes, etc., the ultraviolet sterilizer 13 is used to disinfect and sterilize the water in the pipeline, the water flow measuring device 14 is used to measure the water flow rate in the pipeline, the hot water outlet pump 15 is used to maintain the pressure and flow rate of the hot water system in the water purifier to ensure that the hot water can flow out smoothly, the heating element 16 is used to heat the water in the pipeline, the inlet water temperature detection device 17 is used to detect the inlet water temperature value entering the heating element 16, and the outlet water temperature detection device 18 is used to detect the outlet water temperature value flowing out of the heating element 16.

[0058] It should be noted that, Figure 1 The arrows in the diagram indicate the direction of water flow.
[0059] In addition, it should be noted that, Figure 1 The diagram shown is merely a schematic of the frame structure of a water purifier. This schematic may include more or fewer nodes, and this application does not impose any limitations on it.
[0060] The heating monitoring method for the aforementioned water purifier described in this application is as follows. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 The diagram shown is a flowchart illustrating a water purifier heating monitoring method provided in an embodiment of this application. The following is a summary of the process. Figure 2 The technical solution of this application is described in detail. It should be noted that this specification provides the method operation steps as shown in the embodiments or flowcharts, but based on conventional or non-inventive labor, more or fewer operation steps may be included. The order of steps listed in the embodiments is merely one of many possible execution orders and does not represent the only execution order. In practical applications, the methods shown in the embodiments or drawings can be executed sequentially or in parallel. Specifically, the water purifier includes pipes and a water flow measuring device and a hot water pump installed on the pipes. Therefore, the heating monitoring method of the water purifier specifically includes the following steps:
[0061] S101: Obtain the first water flow value detected by the water flow measurement device and the second water flow value corresponding to the hot water outlet pump. The second water flow value represents the water flow value corresponding to the hot water outlet pump during normal operation.
[0062] In this embodiment, the first water flow rate is the water flow rate in the pipe detected by the water flow measurement device, that is, the first water flow rate is the actual water flow rate in the pipe. In a specific embodiment, the water flow measurement device can be a flow meter. The second water flow rate is the water flow rate corresponding to the hot water outlet pump during normal operation. The second water flow rate can be obtained by testing the hot water outlet pump in the laboratory before it leaves the factory. The hot water outlet pump is used to maintain the pressure and flow rate of the hot water system in the water purifier to ensure that the hot water can flow out smoothly.
[0063] It should be noted that before executing step S101, that is, before obtaining the first water flow value detected by the water flow measuring device and the second water flow value corresponding to the hot water outlet pump, the water purifier needs to be triggered to be in the heating state. In a specific implementation, the hot water outlet button can be pressed so that when the water purifier is triggered to be in the heating state, the heating of the water purifier can be monitored so as to reasonably control the heating process of the water purifier and improve the heating accuracy.
[0064] Furthermore, when the water purifier is activated to heat, it first turns on the heating element to preheat the water stored in it and detects the preheated water temperature. If the preheated water temperature is greater than or equal to the preset preheating temperature, the water purification valve and hot water pump are turned on, allowing water in the pipes to enter the heating element through these valves. The heating element then heats the water flowing through it, and outputs hot water at the preset temperature for the user.
[0065] One approach is to use a water flow measuring device to detect the presence of water flow in the pipes to prevent dry burning. However, water flow measuring devices can become damaged or malfunction over time, or impurities in the water can cause the turbine of the water flow measuring device to become stuck. This can lead to the water flow measuring device detecting insufficient water flow and immediately stopping heating, even though there is water in the pipes. Consequently, users cannot use hot water, affecting their experience. Therefore, this application proposes a heating monitoring method that can accurately control the heating of a water purifier. This method enables reasonable heating control of the water purifier and avoids misjudging the presence of water in the pipes due to damage to the water flow measuring device or a stuck turbine, thus improving the user experience.
[0066] S102: Determine the change in water flow rate corresponding to the pipeline based on the first water flow rate value and the second water flow rate value.
[0067] In this embodiment, the water flow change value corresponding to the pipeline is the difference between the target water flow value and the actual water flow value in the pipeline. The target water flow value in the pipeline is equal to the water flow value corresponding to the hot water pump during normal operation, i.e., the second water flow value corresponding to the hot water pump. The actual water flow value in the pipeline is equal to the first water flow value detected by the water flow measuring device. Therefore, the difference between the second water flow value and the first water flow value can be processed to obtain the water flow change value corresponding to the pipeline. This allows for obtaining the heating monitoring result of the water purifier based on the water flow change value and the first water flow value, enabling reasonable heating control of the water purifier. This avoids misjudging the presence of water in the pipeline due to damage to the water flow measuring device or turbine jamming, thus improving the user experience.
[0068] In one specific embodiment, the water flow rate in the pipeline can be detected once at a preset time interval. That is, the water flow rate in the pipeline is detected once at each preset time interval, thereby obtaining multiple first water flow rates. Based on the multiple first water flow rates and second water flow rates, multiple water flow rate change values can be obtained, so as to determine the water flow rate change value when the water flow rate in the pipeline is in a stable state from the multiple water flow rate change values, thereby improving the heating monitoring accuracy of the water purifier.
[0069] In some embodiments, the preset time length can be 40 milliseconds, 50 milliseconds, or 60 milliseconds, etc., preferably 50 milliseconds.
[0070] S103: Determine the heating monitoring results corresponding to the water purifier based on the first water flow value and the water flow change value.
[0071] In this embodiment, when the first water flow rate value and the water flow rate change value are at different values, it can reflect the status information of the water flow rate measuring device and whether the pipeline is in a water shortage state. Therefore, based on the first water flow rate value and the water flow rate change value, the heating monitoring result corresponding to the water purifier can be determined so as to achieve reasonable heating control of the water purifier. This can avoid the situation where the presence of water in the pipeline is misjudged due to damage to the water flow rate measuring device or the turbine of the water flow rate measuring device being stuck, thereby improving the control accuracy and reliability of the water purifier.
[0072] Furthermore, in one specific embodiment, the water purifier also includes a heating element, correspondingly, such as Figure 3 As shown, this is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining the heating monitoring results of a water purifier according to an embodiment of this application. Specific step S103 may include:
[0073] S1031: When the change value of water flow meets the first preset change condition and the first water flow value meets the first preset water flow condition, the heating monitoring result corresponding to the water purifier is determined as the first heating monitoring result. The first heating monitoring result indicates that the controllable heating element heats the liquid in the pipe, and the water flow measuring device is in a stuck state.
[0074] S1032: If the change in water flow does not meet the first preset change condition, the heating monitoring result corresponding to the water purifier is determined as the second heating monitoring result. The second heating monitoring result indicates that the heating element can be controlled to heat the liquid in the pipe, and the water flow measuring device is in normal operating condition.
[0075] In this embodiment, the first preset change condition is that the change in water flow rate is greater than a first preset change threshold. In some embodiments, the first preset change threshold can be 30 ml, 40 ml, 50 ml, or 60 ml, etc. Preferably, the first preset change threshold is 50 ml. The first preset water flow condition is that the first water flow rate is greater than or equal to the first preset water flow rate threshold. In some embodiments, the first preset water flow rate threshold is greater than or equal to 60 ml, 70 ml, 80 ml, 90 ml, or 100 ml, etc. Preferably, the first preset water flow rate threshold is 100 ml. Furthermore, when the change in water flow rate satisfies the first preset change condition, and the first water flow rate... When the first preset water flow condition is met, that is, when the change in water flow is greater than the first preset change threshold and the first water flow value is greater than or equal to the first preset water flow threshold, it indicates that the water in the pipeline is flowing normally and the water flow measuring device is in a stuck state. At this time, the heating element can be controlled to heat the liquid in the pipeline, which can realize a reasonable judgment on whether the water flow measuring device is in an abnormal state, thereby improving the accuracy of heating control of the water purifier. Therefore, even if the water flow measuring device is in an abnormal state, namely a stuck state, the heating element can still be controlled to heat the liquid in the pipeline, thus improving the accuracy and reliability of heating monitoring.
[0076] Specifically, the first water flow rate value is the actual water flow rate in the pipe. If the first water flow rate value is greater than or equal to the first preset water flow rate threshold, it indicates that water exists in the pipe. However, if the change in water flow rate exceeds the first preset change threshold, it indicates that the water flow measurement device is stuck. Therefore, the heating element can be controlled to heat the water in the pipe to meet the user's hot water needs. Simultaneously, an early warning message can be generated indicating that the water flow measurement device is stuck, reminding the user to repair or replace the stuck device. This avoids misjudging the presence of water in the pipe due to the device being stuck for an extended period, improving the accuracy and reliability of heating monitoring and enhancing the user experience.
[0077] In one specific embodiment, the change in water flow does not meet the first preset change condition, that is, the change in water flow is less than or equal to the first preset change threshold. Therefore, when the change in water flow is less than or equal to the first preset change threshold, it indicates that the water in the pipe is flowing normally and the water flow measuring device is in normal operating condition. At this time, the heating element can be controlled to heat the liquid in the pipe, thereby enabling reasonable judgment of whether the water flow measuring device is in an abnormal state, so as to improve the accuracy of heating control of the water purifier.
[0078] Furthermore, in one specific embodiment, the water purifier also includes an outlet water temperature detection device, correspondingly, such as... Figure 4 As shown, this is a flowchart illustrating another method for determining the heating monitoring results of a water purifier provided in this application embodiment. Specific step S103 may include:
[0079] S1033: When the first water flow rate value meets the second preset water flow rate condition, the first water temperature value and the second water temperature value detected by the water temperature detection device at the first preset interval are obtained.
[0080] S1034: Determine the change in outlet water temperature based on the first outlet water temperature value and the second outlet water temperature value;
[0081] S1035: Determine the heating monitoring results corresponding to the water purifier based on the second outlet water temperature value and the outlet water temperature change value.
[0082] In this embodiment, the second preset water flow condition is that the first water flow value is less than the second preset water flow threshold. In some embodiments, the second preset water flow threshold can be 60 ml, 70 ml, 80 ml, 90 ml, or 100 ml, etc. Preferably, the second preset water flow threshold is 100 ml. When the first water flow value is less than the second preset water flow threshold, combined with the water temperature value detected by the water temperature detection device, it can be further determined whether the water flow measuring device is in a malfunctioning state and whether there is a lack of water in the pipeline, so as to achieve reasonable heating control of the water purifier, avoid misjudging whether there is water in the pipeline, so as to significantly improve the accuracy and reliability of heating monitoring and improve the user experience.
[0083] In one specific embodiment, the outlet water temperature detection device can be a temperature sensor. The outlet water temperature detection device is used to detect the temperature value of the water output by the heating element, that is, the outlet water temperature detection device is used to detect the water temperature value after heating. In some embodiments, the first preset interval can be 80 milliseconds, 90 milliseconds, 100 milliseconds, 120 milliseconds, or 140 milliseconds, etc. Preferably, the first preset interval is 100 milliseconds. Then, the first outlet water temperature value and the second outlet water temperature value are the water temperature values detected by the outlet water temperature detection device at 100 millisecond intervals. It can be understood that the water temperature value in the pipe can be detected once at the first preset interval, that is, the water temperature value in the pipe is detected once every 100 milliseconds, so that multiple outlet water temperature values can be obtained. In order to determine the outlet water temperature change value based on the adjacent outlet water temperature values obtained by detecting the water temperature value in the pipe at 100 millisecond intervals, the heating monitoring result of the water purifier can be determined based on the second outlet water temperature value and the outlet water temperature change value, so as to improve the heating monitoring accuracy of the water purifier.
[0084] In one specific embodiment, the outlet water temperature change value is the temperature change value of the water in the pipeline during a first preset interval. That is, the outlet water temperature change value can be determined by the difference between the second outlet water temperature value and the first outlet water temperature value. It can be understood that the difference between the second outlet water temperature value and the first outlet water temperature value can be processed to obtain the outlet water temperature change value. Based on the second outlet water temperature value and the outlet water temperature change value, the heating monitoring result corresponding to the water purifier can be determined, so as to achieve reasonable heating control of the water purifier. This can avoid the situation where the presence of water in the pipeline is misjudged due to damage to the water flow measuring device or the turbine of the water flow measuring device is stuck, thereby improving the user experience.
[0085] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, this is a flowchart illustrating another method for determining heating monitoring results provided in this application embodiment. Specific step S1035 may include:
[0086] S10351: If multiple consecutive water outlet temperature changes within a first preset time period meet the second preset change condition, and the second water outlet temperature meets the preset output temperature condition, the heating monitoring result corresponding to the water purifier is determined to be the third heating monitoring result. The third heating monitoring result indicates that the pipeline is in a water shortage state, and the heating element is controlled to stop heating the liquid in the pipeline.
[0087] S10352: When the change value of the outlet water temperature meets the third preset change condition, the heating monitoring result corresponding to the water purifier is determined to be the fourth heating monitoring result. The fourth heating monitoring result indicates that the heating element can be controlled to heat the liquid in the pipe, and the water flow measurement device is in a failure state.
[0088] In this embodiment, the second preset change condition is that the change value of the outlet water temperature is greater than the second preset change threshold. In some embodiments, the second preset change threshold is 2 degrees, 3 degrees, 4 degrees, 5 degrees, 8 degrees or 10 degrees, etc. In the case where multiple consecutive outlet water temperature change values meet the second preset change condition within the first preset time period, the first preset time period is greater than the first preset interval time period. Specifically, the first preset time period can be 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds or 4 seconds, etc. Preferably, the first preset time period is 1 second, so that multiple outlet water temperature values can be obtained within 1 second. Thus, multiple outlet water temperature change values can be determined based on multiple adjacent outlet water temperature values, so as to determine the relationship between multiple consecutive outlet water temperature change values within the first preset time period and the second preset change threshold. Under the condition of meeting the second preset change condition, the heating monitoring result corresponding to the water purifier can be further determined.
[0089] Furthermore, the preset output temperature condition is that the second outlet water temperature value is greater than or equal to the preset output temperature threshold. In some embodiments, the preset output temperature threshold can be 70 degrees, 80 degrees, 85 degrees, 90 degrees, 95 degrees or 97 degrees, etc. Preferably, the preset output temperature threshold is 95 degrees. Then, if multiple consecutive outlet water temperature changes within the first preset time period meet the second preset change condition, and the second outlet water temperature value meets the preset output temperature condition, that is, if multiple consecutive outlet water temperature changes within the first preset time period are greater than the second preset change threshold, and the second outlet water temperature value is greater than or equal to the preset output temperature threshold, it indicates that the pipeline is in a water shortage state. At this time, the heating element can be controlled to stop heating the liquid in the pipeline to prevent dry burning, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of heating monitoring.
[0090] In one specific embodiment, the third preset change condition is that the change value of the outlet water temperature is less than or equal to the third preset change threshold. In some embodiments, the third preset change threshold is 2 degrees, 3 degrees, 4 degrees, 5 degrees, 8 degrees, or 10 degrees, etc. In practical applications, the third preset change threshold is equal to the second preset change threshold. Therefore, when the change value of the outlet water temperature meets the third preset change condition, that is, when the change value of the outlet water temperature is less than or equal to the third preset change threshold, it indicates that the water in the pipeline is flowing normally and the water flow measurement device is in a malfunctioning state. At this time, the heating element can be controlled to heat the liquid in the pipeline, which can realize a reasonable judgment on whether the water flow measurement device is in an abnormal state, thereby improving the accuracy of heating control of the water purifier. Thus, even when the water flow measurement device is in an abnormal state, where the abnormal state is a malfunctioning state, the heating element can still be controlled to heat the liquid in the pipeline, improving the accuracy and reliability of heating monitoring.
[0091] Meanwhile, when the change in outlet water temperature is less than or equal to the third preset change threshold, an early warning message can be generated indicating that the water flow measurement device is in a malfunctioning state. This will remind the user to replace the malfunctioning water flow measurement device to avoid misjudging the presence of water in the pipeline due to the water flow measurement device being in a malfunctioning state for a long time. This will improve the accuracy and reliability of heating monitoring and enhance the user experience.
[0092] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 6 As shown, it is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining a target water flow change value provided in an embodiment of this application. Specifically, before step S103, the method further includes:
[0093] S1021: Determine the fluctuation value of water flow rate based on two adjacent water flow rate change values;
[0094] S1022: Determine the target water flow change value based on the water flow change fluctuation value and the preset fluctuation conditions. The target water flow change value indicates that the liquid in the pipeline is in a stable state.
[0095] Accordingly, step S103 may include:
[0096] S1036: Determine the heating monitoring results corresponding to the water purifier based on the first water flow rate value and the target water flow rate change value.
[0097] In this embodiment, the fluctuation value of water flow rate can characterize whether the liquid in the pipeline is in a stable output state. Specifically, the fluctuation value of water flow rate is equal to the difference between two adjacent fluctuation values of water flow rate. Furthermore, based on the fluctuation value of water flow rate and the preset fluctuation conditions, the target fluctuation value of water flow rate can be determined. So that when the fluctuation value of water flow rate is at the target fluctuation value, the heating monitoring result corresponding to the water purifier can be determined based on the first fluctuation value and the target fluctuation value of water flow rate, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of heating monitoring.
[0098] In one specific embodiment, the preset floating condition can be that the water flow change fluctuation value is less than the preset floating threshold. In some embodiments, the preset floating threshold can be 5 ml, 10 ml, 15 ml or 20 ml, etc. Preferably, the preset floating threshold is 10 ml. Then, the target water flow change value can be determined according to the relationship between the water flow change fluctuation value and the preset floating condition, thereby further improving the accuracy of the heating control of the water purifier.
[0099] It should be noted that since there are multiple values for water flow change, multiple fluctuation values for water flow change can be determined. Thus, among these multiple fluctuation values, the target fluctuation value for water flow change can be determined, so that the target water flow change value can be determined based on the target fluctuation value for water flow change.
[0100] In one specific embodiment, step S1022 may include:
[0101] S10221: If multiple consecutive water flow change fluctuation values meet the preset fluctuation conditions within the second preset time period, the last water flow change value within the second preset time period is determined to be the target water flow change value.
[0102] Specifically, the second preset duration can be 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, or 4 seconds, etc. Preferably, the second preset duration is 1 second, so that multiple water flow change values can be obtained within 1 second. Based on multiple adjacent water flow change values, multiple water flow change fluctuation values can be determined to determine the relationship between multiple consecutive water flow change fluctuation values within the second preset duration and the preset fluctuation threshold. When multiple consecutive water flow change fluctuation values within the second preset duration all meet the preset fluctuation conditions, it indicates that the liquid in the pipeline is in a stable flow state. Therefore, the last water flow change value within the second preset duration is determined as the target water flow change value to improve the accuracy of heating monitoring.
[0103] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, it is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining early warning information provided in an embodiment of this application. Specifically, the method may further include:
[0104] S104: When the heating monitoring results of the water purifier indicate that the water flow measurement device is stuck, a first warning message is generated.
[0105] S105: When the heating monitoring results corresponding to the water purifier indicate that the pipeline is in a water shortage state, a second early warning message is generated;
[0106] S106: If the heating monitoring results corresponding to the water purifier indicate that the water flow measurement device is in a malfunctioning state, a third warning message is generated.
[0107] Specifically, the first warning information can be either used to control the sound of the first warning or to control the flashing of the first warning indicator light. When the first warning sound is heard or the first warning indicator light is flashing, it indicates that the water flow measurement device is stuck. This can remind the user to repair or replace the water flow measurement device in time to avoid misjudging the presence of water in the pipeline due to the water flow measurement device being stuck for a long time. This improves the accuracy and reliability of heating monitoring and enhances the user experience.
[0108] In some embodiments, the second warning information may be information for controlling the sound of the second warning sound or information for controlling the flashing of the second warning indicator light. Thus, when the second warning sound is sounded or the second warning indicator light flashes, it indicates that the pipeline is in a water shortage state. At this time, the heating element can be controlled to stop heating the liquid in the pipeline to prevent dry burning, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of heating monitoring.
[0109] In some embodiments, the third warning information can be information for controlling the sound of the third warning or information for controlling the flashing of the third warning indicator. When the third warning sound is heard or the third warning indicator flashes, it indicates that the water flow measurement device is in a malfunctioning state. This can remind the user to replace the water flow measurement device in time to avoid misjudging the presence of water in the pipeline due to the water flow measurement device being in a malfunctioning state for a long time. This improves the accuracy and reliability of heating monitoring and enhances the user experience.
[0110] As can be seen from the above technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, the following technical effects are achieved:
[0111] This application determines the water flow change value corresponding to the pipeline based on the first water flow value detected by the water flow measuring device and the second water flow value corresponding to the hot water outlet pump. In order to obtain the heating monitoring result of the water purifier based on the water flow change value and the first water flow value, the water purifier can be reasonably heated and controlled. This can avoid misjudgment of whether there is water in the pipeline due to damage to the water flow measuring device or the turbine of the water flow measuring device being stuck, thus improving the user experience.
