[0037] The present disclosure will be further described below by way of examples, but the present disclosure is not limited in the scope of the examples.

[0038] The prefix words such as "first", "second" in the embodiments of the present disclosure are only used to distinguish different description objects, and have no limiting effect on the position, order, priority, quantity or content of the described objects. The use of ordinal words such as "first" in the embodiments of the present disclosure does not limit the described objects, and the description of the described objects should be referred to the description in the context of claims or embodiments, and should not be considered as redundant limitation because of the use of such prefix words. In addition, in the description of the embodiments, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more than two.

[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] Figure 1 A flow chart of a control method of a water purifier is provided for an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The control method of the water purifier provided in the embodiment includes:

[0041] S101, obtaining the standing time of the hot water outlet of the water purifier;

[0042] S102, in response to the standing time being greater than the preset standing time, obtaining the outlet water temperature of the hot water outlet;

[0043] S103, in response to the outlet water temperature being lower than the preset sterilization temperature, controlling the first heat exchange unit to heat and sterilize the stagnant water in the hot water outlet pipeline.

[0044] In step S101, the standing time of the hot water outlet represents the standing time of the stagnant water in the hot water outlet pipeline, which can be determined by the opening state of the hot water outlet valve, the outlet flow of the hot water outlet and / or the working state of the water purifier. The hot water outlet represents the outlet with outlet water temperature higher than inlet water temperature, which can be warm water outlet.

[0045] In step S102, the preset standing time can be obtained based on the time when the total amount of bacteria in the stagnant water exceeds the standard or the user's habit of using the water purifier. For example, for a water purifier used in a school, the preset standing time is 24 hours.

[0046] In step S103, when the standing time is greater than the preset standing time and the outlet water temperature is less than the preset sterilization temperature, it is considered that the total number of bacteria in the stagnant water in the hot water outlet pipeline does not meet the health and safety requirements, and the stagnant water needs to be sterilized. Based on the first heat exchange unit arranged on the hot water outlet pipeline, the stagnant water in the hot water outlet pipeline is heated to increase the temperature of the stagnant water in the hot water outlet pipeline without boiling, so as to complete the sterilization of the stagnant water.

[0047] In the scheme, the standing time of the hot water outlet of the water purifier and the outlet water temperature of the hot water outlet are used to determine whether the bacteria in the current hot water outlet pipeline exceeds the standard, and the first heat exchange unit is used to heat the stagnant water in the hot water outlet pipeline to achieve the sterilization purpose of the stagnant water.

[0048] As an implementable way, as shown in Figure 2 The step of controlling the first heat exchange unit to sterilize the stagnant water in the hot water outlet pipeline in step S103 includes:

[0049] S1031, heating the stagnant water temperature in the hot water outlet pipeline to a preset sterilization temperature range, and maintaining the water temperature in the preset sterilization temperature range;

[0050] S1032, in response to the duration that the water temperature is maintained in the preset sterilization temperature range being greater than a preset sterilization time, stopping heating.

[0051] In the scheme, by continuously heating the hot water outlet pipeline, the stagnant water in the heated outlet pipeline meets the temperature requirement of pasteurization, and the high-temperature sterilization of the stagnant water is completed by continuously heating for a preset sterilization time, so that the hot water supplied by the water purifier after standing does not cause the total number of bacteria to not meet the health and safety requirements.

[0052] As an implementable way, the control method further includes:

[0053] In response to the outlet water temperature being higher than a preset outlet water temperature, the first heat exchange unit is controlled to exchange heat with the hot water outlet pipeline to reduce the outlet water temperature to the preset outlet water temperature.

[0054] In the scheme, the temperature of the first heat exchange unit after heating the hot water outlet pipeline is relatively high, which will affect the water temperature of the water purifier supplying hot water. The first heat exchange unit is used to quickly cool the hot water outlet pipeline after completing the sterilization treatment of the stagnant water, so that the water purifier can meet the high-precision temperature control of hot water supply.

[0055] As an implementable way, a second heat exchange unit is arranged on the water inlet pipeline of the water purifier, the first heat exchange unit and the second heat exchange unit are connected, and the control method further includes:

[0056] In response to the first heat exchange unit being in a working state, the water inlet temperature of the water inlet is obtained;

[0057] In response to the water inlet temperature being lower than a preset water inlet temperature, the first heat exchange unit and the second heat exchange unit are connected, and the heat of the hot water outlet pipeline is used to heat the water inlet pipeline.

[0058] In the scheme, the first heat exchange unit and the second heat exchange unit are connected through a conveying pipe, and the second heat exchange unit is used to heat the water inlet pipeline. When the first heat exchange unit is working, the residual heat obtained by the first heat exchange unit through heat exchange of the hot water outlet pipeline is guided to the second heat exchange unit through the conveying pipe, and the second heat exchange unit heats the water inlet pipeline by using the residual heat to improve the water inlet temperature of the water purifier and reduce the heating energy consumption of the water purifier.

[0059] As an implementable way, the first heat exchange unit includes a vortex air supply assembly and a first heat exchange assembly, the first heat exchange assembly is used for heat exchange with the hot water outlet pipeline, and the step of controlling the first heat exchange unit to perform heat exchange with the hot water outlet pipeline includes:

[0060] obtaining a temperature difference between the outlet water temperature and the preset outlet water temperature;

[0061] controlling the vortex air supply assembly to deliver cold air to the first heat exchange assembly, and the power of the vortex air supply assembly is proportional to the temperature difference.

[0062] In the scheme, the first heat exchange unit includes a vortex air supply assembly and a first heat exchange assembly as a vortex heat exchange unit, the vortex air supply assembly includes a cold air pipeline, a hot air pipeline and an air pressure pump, and the cold air or hot air is delivered to the first heat exchange assembly to perform heat exchange between the first heat exchange assembly and the hot water outlet pipeline. And based on the temperature difference between the outlet water temperature and the preset outlet water temperature, the power of the air pressure pump is adjusted to control the flow of cold air or hot air delivered to the first heat exchange assembly to adjust the outlet water temperature.

[0063] As an implementable way, the water purifier includes a filtering unit, and the control method further includes:

[0064] In response to the standing time being greater than the preset standing time, the filtering unit is flushed.

[0065] In the scheme, while heating and sterilizing the stagnant water in the hot water outlet pipeline, the filtering unit is flushed to ensure the water quality of the entire water purifier water supply pipeline and avoid the risk of exceeding the total number of bacteria in the water purifier water supply.

[0066] The working mode of the control method of the water purifier in the embodiment will be explained in detail through specific implementation manners:

[0067] As shown in Figure 3 The water purifier includes a heating tank 1, and the heating tank 1 provides hot water supply for the water purifier.

[0068] A first heat exchange unit is installed on the hot water outlet pipe of heating tank 1. The first heat exchange unit includes a first heat exchange component 11 and a vortex air supply component 12. The vortex air supply component 12 includes a hot air control valve 121, a hot air exhaust valve, a cold air control valve 123, a cold air exhaust valve, a vortex tube 125, a pressure pump 126, a pump control valve 127, and an inlet one-way valve. A water temperature probe 2 is also installed on the hot water outlet pipe to detect the temperature of the hot water after passing through the first heat exchange unit. The hot water from the heating tank is ultimately supplied externally through the hot water outlet valve 13.

[0069] On the side of the water inlet pipe of the heating tank 1, a water inlet pipe, a second heat exchange unit 3, a filter unit and a pressure tank 4 are arranged in sequence. The filter unit includes a first pre-filter 21, a second pre-filter 22, a reverse osmosis filter 23 and a post-filter 24.

[0070] The second heat exchange unit 3 is connected to the first heat exchange unit through the delivery pipe 31. An inlet water temperature probe 32 and an inlet water valve 33 are also installed on the inlet water pipe to detect the inlet water temperature after passing through the second heat exchange unit 3.

[0071] The operating modes of a water purifier include:

[0072] Hot water output mode: The air pump control valve 127, air pressure pump 126, cold air control valve 123 and hot air inlet valve 122 of the vortex air supply component 12 are all opened at the same time. At this time, the cold air in the vortex tube is continuously sent to the first heat exchange component 11. The cold air and the hot water in the first heat exchange component 11 flow in opposite directions, so the water flowing in the first heat exchange component 11 can be cooled down quickly, so that hot water at the preset temperature can be obtained.

[0073] Sterilization mode: The water purifier detects that the hot water outlet valve 13 and the inlet valve 31 have not been opened for more than the preset settling time. The preset settling time can be 24 hours. At the same time, the temperature probe 2 detects that the water temperature at the hot water outlet is lower than the preset sterilization temperature, which is generally 40℃.

[0074] At this time, the water purifier enters the sterilization mode, that is, the air pump control valve 127, air pressure pump 126, cold air control valve 123 and hot air control valve 122 are opened, and the hot water outlet pipe is heated through the first heat exchange component until the outlet water temperature probe 2 detects that the hot water outlet temperature has reached the preset sterilization temperature. The preset sterilization temperature can be 70°C, which is based on the temperature requirement of pasteurization, and is maintained at 70°C for 15 minutes, so as to use hot air to sterilize the hot water outlet pipe in the first heat exchange unit at high temperature.

[0075] Because the temperature inside the first heat exchange unit in the sterilization mode is high, the outlet water temperature may be high. The ratio of cold air to hot air intake in the first heat exchange unit will be adjusted until the outlet water temperature detected by the outlet water temperature probe 2 reaches 50°C.

[0076] Meanwhile, in actual use, the initial temperature of the hot water in the hot water tank 1 is relatively high, but as it is used continuously, if the constant hot water outlet flow rate is maintained, the hot water temperature at the hot water outlet will become lower and lower, that is, the outlet water temperature detected by the outlet water temperature probe 2 becomes lower and lower, but in this embodiment, the air supply flow rate into the first heat exchange assembly can be adjusted by adjusting the power of the air pressure pump 126, so as to indirectly control the heat exchange amount of the first heat exchange assembly, thereby effectively controlling the hot water outlet temperature to be constant at the preset outlet water temperature.

[0077] Monitoring raw water temperature: the water purification machine monitors the raw water temperature in the inlet water pipe in real time through the inlet water temperature probe 32, and the preset inlet water temperature of the water purification machine is 25℃±5℃. If the inlet water temperature is lower than the preset inlet water temperature, the conveying pipe between the first heat exchange unit and the second heat exchange unit is opened. In the case that the first heat exchange unit is working, the hot air in the first heat exchange assembly is introduced into the second heat exchange unit to heat the raw water in the inlet water pipeline, so that the raw water temperature meets the demand of the preset inlet water temperature.

[0078] The control method of the water purification machine provided in this embodiment can timely heat and sterilize the stagnant water in the hot water outlet pipeline without adding additional sterilization devices, so as to ensure that the total number of bacteria in the outlet water meets the health and safety requirements. By connecting the first heat exchange unit and the second heat exchange unit, the residual heat in the first heat exchange unit is used to heat the inlet water pipeline, so as to reduce the energy consumption of the water purification machine.

[0079] Embodiment 2

[0080] Corresponding to the control method of the water purification machine, the disclosure also provides an embodiment of a control system of a water purification machine.
