[0002] A water purifier is a water treatment device that performs deep filtration and purification treatment on water quality according to the use requirements of the water. The water purified by a household water purifier can be directly drunk. Due to the high demand of users for hot drinking water, instant drinking water machines and water purifiers are gradually widely used. The mainstream instant drinking water machines on the market generally use a large-power heater of 3000 watts or more to achieve instant heating effect, and the water volume can reach 22 liters per hour. However, the first cup of water (about 200 milliliters) generally only reaches about 50 degrees Celsius, which cannot meet the customer's use requirements. In addition, due to the insufficient heating efficiency, the hot water outflow is small.
[0003] Therefore, an instant water purifier with a water storage structure appears. The water storage structure is used for water storage and heat preservation. For example, if the user does not take high-temperature water or boiling water for a long time, the water in the water storage structure will not be fresh, or the water will be repeatedly boiled and heated. In addition, due to the heat preservation requirement, the power consumption is high. SUMMARY

[0064] Specifically, the preheating container is a preheating tank in Figure 1 ; the first heating device can be a heating body, i.e., a preheating heating body in Figure 1 , which is usually arranged at the bottom of the preheating tank; a water inlet valve and a water inlet pump are arranged on the water inlet pipeline, the water inlet valve is used for controlling the conduction or cutoff of the water inlet pipeline, and the water inlet pump is used for applying a first acting force to the water in the water supply device so that the water in the water supply device flows to the preheating container through the water inlet pipeline; a hot water pump, the second heating device and a hot water outlet valve are arranged on the water outlet pipeline, the hot water pump is used for applying a second acting force to the water in the preheating container so that the water in the preheating container flows to the water outlet pipeline, the second heating device can be a heating body, i.e., a quick heating heating body in Figure 1 , and the hot water outlet valve is used for controlling the conduction or cutoff of the water outlet pipeline; a drain valve is arranged on the drain pipeline, and the drain valve is used for controlling the conduction or cutoff of the drain pipeline; a water outlet backflow valve is arranged on the backflow pipeline, and the water outlet backflow valve is used for controlling the conduction or cutoff of the backflow pipeline.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 2 , which is a flowchart of a control method of a water purifier provided by an embodiment of the present application. It should be noted that the present specification provides method operation steps such as embodiments or flowcharts, but more or fewer operation steps can be included based on conventional or non-creative labor. The order of steps listed in the embodiments is only one of the many execution orders, and does not represent the only execution order. In actual system or product execution, the method order shown in the embodiments or the drawings can be executed in sequence or in parallel (for example, in a parallel processor or multi-thread processing environment). Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , the method can comprise:
[0066] S201, in response to a hot water selection signal, controlling the water inlet pipeline to be conducted, applying a first acting force to the water in the water supply device based on the water inlet pipeline so that the water in the water supply device flows to the preheating container through the water inlet pipeline, and heating the water in the preheating container based on the first heating device.
[0067] The hot water selection signal is triggered by a user based on the water purifier. Specifically, the user needs to select hot water or normal temperature water before taking water, and then set the water taking parameters, such as the target water output, and if the user selects hot water, the water taking parameters can also include the target water temperature, and then the user can take water. These selections or settings can be made by the user based on the control panel of the water purifier, and the hot water selection signal is triggered based on the user's selection of hot water.
[0068] The first force is triggered by the user by opening the water inlet pump. Specifically, the water inlet pump can be set as a centrifugal pump.
[0069] Specifically, when the user selects hot water to trigger the hot water selection signal, the water inlet valve is opened to control the water inlet pipeline to be conducted, the water inlet pump is opened to make the water in the water supply device flow to the preheating container through the water inlet pipeline, and the first heating device is opened to heat the water flowing into the preheating container.
[0070] In an exemplary embodiment, the preheating container is provided with a first liquid level detection device and a third temperature sensing device, the distance between the first liquid level detection device and the bottom of the preheating container is greater than the distance between the first heating device and the bottom of the preheating container; the process of heating the water in the preheating container based on the first heating device in the above step S201 can include the following steps:
[0071] In response to the first liquid level signal output by the first liquid level detection device, the third temperature sensing device collects the fifth temperature data;
[0072] In the case where the fifth temperature data is lower than the first preset temperature, the first heating device is controlled to enter the working state, the water in the preheating container is heated based on the first heating device, the fifth temperature data is updated, and when the updated fifth temperature data reaches the second preset temperature, the first heating device is controlled to enter the non-working state.
[0073] The first liquid level signal indicates that the water level in the preheating container reaches a first preset height. Specifically, the first liquid level detection device is arranged on the side wall of the preheating container, and the distance between the first liquid level detection device and the bottom of the preheating container is the first preset height. When the first liquid level detection device detects the water level, the first liquid level signal is output.
[0074] In a specific implementation, the first heating device is arranged at the bottom of the preheating container, and the first liquid level detection device is higher than the first heating device. For example, the first liquid level detection device is 2 cm higher than the first heating device, which ensures that there is water when the first heating device is working, and prevents dry burning.
[0075] The third temperature sensing device is used to detect the water temperature in the preheating container.
[0076] The fifth temperature data indicates the current temperature of the water in the preheating container.
[0077] wherein the first preset temperature is less than or equal to the second preset temperature. In specific implementation, the first preset temperature and the second preset temperature are usually less than the target outlet water temperature. In specific implementation, the second preset temperature can be set to be 2 degrees Celsius higher than the first preset temperature.
[0078] In specific implementation, the reference temperature is the first preset temperature. Figure 3 Fig. 1 shows a flowchart of a water adding preheating method of a water purifier provided by an embodiment of the present application. In the figure, the unlocking operation is an operation of triggering a hot water selection signal by a user. The first liquid level detection device can be a probe, i.e., the first liquid level probe in the figure. The third temperature sensing device can be a temperature sensor, i.e., the preheating tank temperature sensor in the figure. After the user selects hot water, the water inlet pump is turned on to add water to the preheating container. When the first liquid level detection device detects the liquid level, the temperature data collected by the third temperature sensing device, i.e., the fifth temperature data, is acquired. It is determined whether the fifth temperature data is lower than the first preset temperature. If the fifth temperature data is lower than the first preset temperature, the first heating device is turned on to heat the water in the preheating container. When the temperature data collected by the third temperature sensing device reaches the second preset temperature, the first heating device is turned off. If the fifth temperature data is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, the first heating device does not need to be turned on.
[0079] As can be seen from the above technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the first liquid level detection device and the third temperature sensing device in the preheating container, the distance between the first liquid level detection device and the bottom of the preheating container is greater than the distance between the first heating device and the bottom of the preheating container. When the first liquid level detection device detects the water level, if the temperature data collected by the third temperature sensing device is lower than the first preset temperature, the first heating device is turned on to heat the water in the preheating container. When the temperature data collected by the third temperature sensing device reaches the second temperature data, the first heating device is turned off. This ensures that there is water when the first heating device is working, preventing dry burning. The water in the preheating container is preheated before the user takes water, so as to shorten the heating time of the second heating device during the user's water taking process, thereby maximizing the outlet water flow of hot water and improving the hot water response speed of the water purifier.
[0080] In one exemplary embodiment, the preheating container is provided with a second liquid level detection device, and the distance between the second liquid level detection device and the bottom of the preheating container is greater than the distance between the first liquid level detection device and the bottom of the preheating container. The process of controlling the water inlet pipeline to be conducted in the above step S201 can include the following steps:
[0081] In response to a second liquid level signal output by the second liquid level detection device, the water inlet pipeline is controlled to be turned on, and a first force is applied to the water in the water supply device based on the water inlet pipeline, so that the water in the water supply device flows to the preheating container through the water inlet pipeline.
[0082] In response to a third liquid level signal output by the second liquid level detection device, the application of the first force is stopped, and the water inlet pipeline is controlled to be turned off.
[0083] The second liquid level signal indicates that the water level in the preheating container is lower than a second preset height. Specifically, the second liquid level detection device is arranged on the side wall of the preheating container, and the distance from the bottom of the preheating container is the second preset height. When the second liquid level detection device does not detect the water level, the second liquid level signal is output.
[0084] The second preset height is greater than the first preset height.
[0085] The third liquid level signal indicates that the water level in the preheating container reaches the second preset height. Specifically, when the second liquid level detection device detects the water level, the third liquid level signal is output.
[0086] Specifically, if the water level in the preheating container is lower than the second preset height, the water inlet valve and the water inlet pump are opened in sequence to add water to the preheating container. When the water level in the preheating container reaches the second preset height, the water inlet pump and the water inlet valve are closed in sequence to stop adding water to the preheating container.
[0087] In a specific implementation, reference is made to Figure 3 The second liquid level detection device can be a liquid level probe, i.e., the second liquid level probe in the figure. When the second liquid level probe detects the liquid level, the water inlet pump and the water inlet valve are closed, and the addition of water to the preheating container is stopped.
[0088] Specifically, if the water level in the preheating container reaches the second preset height when the drainage starts, to prevent the water in the preheating container from overflowing during the drainage, the distance between the second liquid level detection device and the top of the preheating container is set based on the total volume of the water outlet pipeline and the backflow pipeline, so as to ensure that when the water level in the preheating container reaches the second preset height, the remaining capacity of the preheating container is greater than the total volume of the water outlet pipeline and the backflow pipeline.
[0089] As can be seen from the above technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the embodiments of the present application control the amount of water in the preheating container during the operation of the water purifier to ensure that the water outlet device does not stop water during the user's water taking process.
[0090] S203, in response to the water taking signal, a second force is applied to the water in the preheating container based on the water outlet pipeline, so that the water in the preheating container flows to the water outlet pipeline.
[0091] wherein the water taking signal indicates a target water outlet temperature. Specifically, after the user selects hot water, the user sets water taking parameters, such as the target water outlet temperature, the target water outlet volume, and the like, based on the control panel of the water purifier, and then confirms water taking, triggering the water taking signal. In a specific implementation, the user can confirm water taking through a touch key on the control panel of the water purifier.
[0092] wherein the target water outlet temperature is a water temperature required by the user and set by the user through the water purifier.
[0093] wherein the second force is triggered by the user by opening the hot water pump. Specifically, the hot water pump can be set as a centrifugal pump.
[0094] Specifically, when the water taking signal is triggered by confirming water taking, the hot water pump is opened, so that the water in the preheating container flows to the water outlet pipeline.
[0095] S205, based on the second heating device and the target water outlet temperature, heating the water flowing through the second heating device through the water outlet pipeline, controlling the water outlet pipeline to be conducted, so that the water outlet device outlets water until the water outlet device stops outletting water.
[0096] Specifically, by adjusting the duty cycle of the hot water pump to adjust the water flow, and by adjusting the duty cycle of the second heating device to adjust the heating power, the target water outlet temperature is taken as the heating target, the heating speed is improved on the basis of satisfying the heating power being less than the maximum power of the second heating device, the water flow is maximized on the premise of ensuring that the water outlet temperature of the water outlet device reaches the target water outlet temperature, and the response speed of the water outlet device to outlet hot water is ensured.
[0097] Specifically, the water outlet device stopping outletting water can be that the user actively closes the water outlet device, or the water outlet volume of the water outlet device reaches the target water outlet volume set by the user. In a specific implementation, the water outlet device usually refers to a faucet, and the user takes water through the water outlet device.
[0098] In an exemplary embodiment, the process of heating the water flowing through the second heating device through the water outlet pipeline based on the second heating device and the target water outlet temperature in the above step S205 can include the following steps:
[0099] (1) collecting sixth temperature data based on the second temperature sensing device.
[0100] wherein the second temperature sensing device is arranged on the water outlet pipeline on the side of the second heating device close to the preheating container, that is, the temperature sensor Tin in Figure 1
[0101] wherein the sixth temperature data is the temperature of the water in the water outlet pipeline that has not been heated by the second heating device.
[0102] (2) determining a third temperature difference between the sixth temperature data and the target outlet water temperature.
[0103] The third temperature difference is compensated by the second heating device.
[0104] (3) determining a first heating power based on the third temperature difference and a second acting force.
[0105] The second acting force corresponds to a duty cycle of the hot water pump, i.e., a water flow in the outlet pipeline.
[0106] The first heating power is less than a maximum power of the second heating device.
[0107] In a specific implementation, the first heating power can be calculated by the following formula:
[0108] Heating power (kW) = temperature difference (K) * flow (kg / min) * 4.2 / 60 (1)
[0109] The unit of the heating power is kilowatt, the unit of the temperature difference is Kelvin, the unit of the flow is kilogram per minute, and 4.2 is a coefficient value. The temperature difference can refer to the third temperature difference or the fourth temperature difference. Specifically, the target outlet water temperature is the heating target. On the premise of ensuring that the outlet water temperature of the outlet device reaches the target outlet water temperature, the flow is maximized to improve the heating speed on the premise that the heating power is less than the maximum power of the second heating device, thereby ensuring the response speed of the outlet device flowing out hot water.

[0121] (8) Controlling the second heating device to work based on the second heating power, and adjusting the second force to the third force.
[0122] Specifically, the third force is applied to the water in the preheating container by the water outlet pipeline, so that the water in the preheating container flows to the water outlet pipeline.
[0123] As can be seen from the above technical solutions of the embodiment, the heating power of the second heating device and the water flow of the water outlet pipeline are adjusted, the target outlet water temperature is taken as a heating target, the heating speed is increased on the premise that the heating power is less than the maximum power of the second heating device, the water flow is maximized on the premise that the outlet water temperature of the outlet device reaches the target outlet water temperature, and the response speed of the hot water flowing out of the outlet device is improved.
[0124] S207, the control backflow pipeline and the drainage pipeline are conducted to make the water in the water outlet pipeline flow into the preheating container through the backflow pipeline, and the water in the preheating container and the water in the preheating container flow out through the drainage pipeline.
[0125] Specifically, the backflow valve is opened to make the backflow pipeline conductive, and the drain valve is opened to make the drain pipeline conductive; the water in the outlet pipeline is partially backflowed into the preheating container by gravity and partially backflowed into the preheating container by the action of the hot water pump.
[0126] As can be seen from the above technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the embodiments of the present application can ensure that the user obtains fresh water each time by emptying the residual water in the pipeline and the preheating container after the user finishes taking water; thus, the user does not need to quickly heat the residual water when taking hot water next time, which may cause the problem of small hot water outlet flow due to insufficient heating efficiency or the problem of substandard temperature of the first cup of water, the embodiments of the present application add water to the preheating container and preheat the preheating container in the process in which the user sets the water taking parameters, thereby maximizing the outlet flow of hot water and ensuring that the initial outlet temperature reaches the target outlet temperature set by the user.
[0127] In one exemplary embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , the outlet pipeline includes a first pipeline and a second pipeline, one end of the first pipeline is used to connect the outlet device, the other end of the first pipeline is connected to the second heating device, one end of the second pipeline is connected to the second heating device, the other end of the second pipeline is connected to the preheating container, the hot water outlet valve is arranged in the first pipeline, and the hot water pump is arranged in the second pipeline; as shown in Figure 5 , it is a flowchart of a water draining method of a water purifier provided by the embodiments of the present application, and the step S207 can include the following steps:
[0128] S501, the second heating device is closed, and the second action force is stopped.
[0129] Specifically, after the user finishes taking water, the second heating device and the hot water pump are closed.
[0130] S503, the backflow pipeline and the drain pipeline are controlled to be conductive, so that the water in the first pipeline flows into the preheating container through the backflow pipeline.
[0131] Specifically, the water in the first pipeline backflows into the preheating container along the backflow pipeline under the action of gravity.
[0132] S505, the first pipeline is controlled to be cut off.
[0133] Specifically, after the water in the first pipeline is emptied, the hot water outlet valve is closed.
[0134] In one exemplary embodiment, a first temperature sensing device is arranged on the first pipeline; referring to Figure 4 , it is a flowchart of a water taking and draining method of a water purifier provided by the embodiments of the present application, and the step S505 can include the following steps:
[0135] obtaining first temperature data;
[0136] collecting second temperature data based on the first temperature sensor;
[0137] determining a first temperature difference between the first temperature data and the second temperature data;
[0138] in a case where the first temperature difference is less than a first preset threshold, controlling the first pipeline to keep a conducting state, updating the second temperature data, updating the first temperature difference, and until the first temperature difference reaches the first preset threshold, controlling the first pipeline to be cut off.
[0139] wherein the first temperature data is collected by the first temperature sensor before the water in the first pipeline flows into the preheating container, denoted as Tout0. Specifically, after the user finishes taking water, the second heating device and the hot water pump are turned off, and the first temperature data Tout0 is collected based on the first temperature sensor.
[0140] wherein the second temperature data is collected by the first temperature sensor during the process of draining the first pipeline, denoted as Tout1. Specifically, the backflow valve and the drain valve are opened, and the second temperature data Tout1 is collected based on the first temperature sensor.
[0141] Specifically, after the hot water backflows, the temperature in the first pipeline is affected by the air temperature, and the detection value of the first temperature sensor will decrease, so the first temperature difference will be generated.
[0142] wherein the first preset threshold is a temperature threshold. Specifically, in a case where the first temperature difference is less than the first preset threshold, it is considered that the water in the first pipeline has not been drained, and the first pipeline continues to be drained until the first temperature difference is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold, it is considered that the water in the first pipeline has been drained, and the hot water outlet valve is closed. In a specific implementation, considering the delay of gravity backflow, when the first temperature difference is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold, the hot water outlet valve is closed after a few seconds.
[0143] As can be seen from the above technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the embodiments of the present application drain the water in the first pipeline by means of gravity, confirm whether the first pipeline is drained according to the temperature change in the first pipeline after the hot water backflows, and close the hot water outlet valve after confirming the drainage, so as to facilitate subsequent drainage of other pipelines.
[0144] S507, based on the second pipeline applying a second acting force to the water in the preheating container, so that the water in the second pipeline flows into the preheating container through the backflow pipeline, and is drained together with the water in the preheating container through the drain pipeline.
[0145] Specifically, the hot water pump is opened, the second pipeline, the backflow pipeline and the preheating container form a loop, part of the water flows to the drain pipeline and part of the water flows to the outlet pipeline, therefore the outlet pipeline is connected to the side wall of the preheating container close to the bottom and the drain pipeline is connected to the bottom of the preheating container, so that the connection between the outlet pipeline and the preheating container is higher than the connection between the drain pipeline and the preheating container; during the drainage process, as the amount of water to be drained gradually decreases, the water to be drained finally flows to the drain pipeline.
[0146] S509, stop applying the second force, control the backflow pipeline and the drain pipeline to be cut off.
[0147] Specifically, after the drainage is completed, the hot water pump is closed, the outlet backflow valve and the drain valve are closed.
[0148] As can be seen from the above technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the embodiments of the present application drain the water in the first pipeline and the second pipeline into the preheating container respectively by means of gravity and the hot water pump after the user finishes taking water, and drain the water in the preheating container into the drain pipeline, so as to empty the residual water in the pipeline and the preheating container, thereby ensuring that the user gets fresh water each time.
[0149] In one exemplary embodiment, a second temperature sensing device is arranged on the second pipeline; with reference to Figure 4 It shows a flowchart of a water taking and draining method of a water purifier provided by the embodiments of the present application, and the above step S509 can include the following steps:
[0150] Acquire third temperature data collected by the second temperature sensing device;
[0151] Collect fourth temperature data based on the second temperature sensing device;
[0152] Determine a second temperature difference between the third temperature data and the fourth temperature data;
[0153] In the case where the second temperature difference is less than a second preset threshold, the second force is maintained, the fourth temperature data is updated, the second temperature difference is updated, and when the second temperature difference reaches the second preset threshold, the application of the second force is stopped and the backflow pipeline and the drain pipeline are controlled to be cut off.
[0154] The third temperature data is collected by the second temperature sensing device before the water in the second pipeline flows into the preheating container, denoted as Tin0. Specifically, after the drainage of the first pipeline is completed, the hot water outlet valve is closed, and the third temperature data Tin0 is collected based on the second temperature sensing device.
[0155] The fourth temperature data is collected by the second temperature sensing device in the process of the water in the second pipeline flowing into the preheating container, denoted as Tin1. Specifically, the hot water pump is opened, and the fourth temperature data Tin1 is collected based on the second temperature sensing device.
[0156] Specifically, since the hot water flows back, the temperature in the second pipeline is affected by the air temperature, the detection value of the second temperature sensing device decreases, and thus the second temperature difference is generated.
[0157] In the specific implementation, considering the time delay of pipeline backflow, when the second temperature difference is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold, the hot water pump, the water outlet backflow valve and the drain valve are closed after a delay of several seconds.
[0158] According to the above technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the embodiments of the present application empty the water in the second pipeline with the help of the hot water pump, confirm whether the second pipeline is emptied according to the temperature change in the second pipeline after the hot water flows back, close the hot water pump, the water outlet backflow valve and the drain valve after confirming the emptying, complete the emptying of the pipeline and the preheating container, and thus ensure that the user obtains fresh water each time.
