Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or server that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0032] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a filter replacement processing system structure according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown in the embodiments of this specification, a filter replacement system is provided. The system includes a data acquisition module, a water purification control module, a data processing module, and an interaction module. The data acquisition module is connected to the water purification control module and the data processing module, respectively. The interaction module is connected to the data processing module and the water purification control module, respectively. The data processing module is connected to the water purification control module.

[0033] Specifically, the water purification control module is used to acquire device switch commands issued by the user and send control commands to the data acquisition module and the data processing module; the data acquisition module is used to collect water quality data, which may optionally include data on large particles such as suspended solids and colloidal materials; the data processing module is used to process the water quality data collected by the data acquisition module and send the replacement prompt information based on the data processing results to the interaction module; the interaction module is used to receive the replacement prompt information sent by the data processing module and remind the user to replace the filter cartridge of the water purification device.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the water purification device is further equipped with detection devices such as a water flow sensor and a data sensor. Optionally, the water flow sensor is used to sense whether water has entered the water purification device. Specifically, the water flow sensor is located at the water inlet of the water purification device. Correspondingly, when the water purification device is put into use, the water flow sensor sends a signal to the water purification control module when it detects water entering the water purification device. The water purification control module then sends a water pump operation command to the water pump in the water purification device to start the water pump. The data sensor is used to acquire water quality data of the tap water entering the water purification device. Specifically, the data sensor is located in the data acquisition module. Optionally, when the water pump is running, it sends an operation signal to the water purification control module. Correspondingly, when the water purification control module receives the water pump operation signal, it sends a data acquisition command to the data acquisition module. Correspondingly, the data acquisition module acquires water quality data based on the data sensor. Further, the data acquisition module transmits the acquired water quality data to the data processing module. Correspondingly, the data processing module processes the data. Further, based on the data processing results, the data processing module sends filter replacement information back to the interaction module.

[0035] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the steps of a filter replacement method according to an exemplary embodiment. In an optional embodiment, this invention uses a data processing module in a water purification device as the execution entity to describe an embodiment of a control method, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the above method may include:

[0036] S201: In response to the water pump operation command of the water purification equipment, obtain the current usage time of the current filter element in the water purification equipment.

[0037] In one specific embodiment, the water pump operation command is an instruction to turn on the water pump in the water purification device; the current usage time can be the cumulative usage time from the first use of the water pump to the current use of the water pump; optionally, the water purification device has a power supply requirement, specifically, when the water purification device is in use, the user will complete the power supply operation of the water purification device, specifically, the water purification device can be put into use multiple times.

[0038] Specifically, after the user turns on the water purification switch of the water purifier, the water flow sensor detects that water has entered the water purifier, and the water purification control module controls the water pump to start running. Correspondingly, the data processing module of the water purifier responds to the water pump operation command and obtains the current usage time of the current filter element in the water purifier.

[0039] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a process for determining the current usage time according to an exemplary embodiment. In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, the process of obtaining the current usage time of the current filter element in the water purification device in response to the water pump operation command can include:

[0040] S301: During the operation of the water pump, the operation timing is processed based on a preset counter;

[0041] S303: At the moment when the water pump stops running, obtain the count value corresponding to the preset counter;

[0042] S305: Determine the current usage time based on the count value.

[0043] In one specific embodiment, the water purification device is further equipped with a preset counter. Optionally, the preset counter counts based on a counting frequency. Correspondingly, the count value of the preset counter can represent the running time of the water pump in the water purification device. Optionally, the preset counter can count based on a counting frequency of 1 second, 1 minute, or 1 hour, etc. The counting frequency of the preset counter can be set according to user needs, the usage status of the water purification device, or the usage status of the filter element in the water purification device. When the water purification control module learns that the water pump has started running, it controls the preset counter to start counting. Optionally, the preset counter works continuously during the water pump operation. Correspondingly, during the water pump operation, the preset counter performs running time processing, that is, the preset counter performs counting processing based on the counting frequency during the water pump operation. Furthermore, when the water pump stops running, the preset counter stops counting. Correspondingly, when the water purification control module obtains the water pump operation stop signal detected by the water pump detector, it sends a stop counting command to the preset counter. Correspondingly, the preset counter stops counting and sends the obtained count value to the data processing module.

[0044] Specifically, upon receiving the count value, the data processing module determines the current usage time corresponding to the current filter element. Specifically, the data processing module accumulates the count value of the preset counter to determine the current usage time corresponding to the current filter element.

[0045] In the above embodiments, by using a preset counter to time the water pump operation, the current usage time corresponding to the current filter element is determined, which improves the accuracy of determining the current usage time and further improves the accuracy of calculating the current service life of the current filter element.

[0046] S203: Based on the target water quality correction information corresponding to the current filter element, the preset filter element decay rate, and the current usage time, determine the current service life of the current filter element.

[0047] In one specific embodiment, the target water quality correction information can be determined based on the first reference turbidity information, the preset reference turbidity information, and the preset time, during the initial use of the current filter cartridge. Optionally, the target water quality correction information is used to indicate whether the service life of the current filter cartridge in the water purification device needs to be corrected. Specifically, since the service life of the filter cartridge varies due to different water quality, the target water quality correction information needs to be calculated to determine whether the service life of the current filter cartridge needs to be corrected. The preset time can be the duration for which the water purification device collects turbidity information. The preset filter cartridge decay rate can be a pre-set standard decay rate for the service life of the current filter cartridge in the water purification device. Specifically, during the operation of the water pump, the water purification device acquires the target water quality correction information and the preset filter cartridge decay rate corresponding to the current filter cartridge. Accordingly, based on the acquired target water quality correction information, the preset filter cartridge decay rate, and the current usage time of the current filter cartridge, the service life of the current filter cartridge is determined.

[0048] Figure 4 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a process for determining target water quality correction information based on first reference turbidity information, according to an exemplary embodiment. In an optional embodiment, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the above method may further include:

[0049] S401: When the current filter element is used for the first time, obtain the first baseline turbidity information of the water entering the water purification equipment within a first preset time period;

[0050] S403: When the end time corresponding to the first preset time period is reached, the target water quality correction information is determined based on the first reference turbidity information, the preset reference turbidity information and the preset duration.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, the first preset time period is a period of time during the initial use process, and the duration of the first preset time period is a preset duration; the first reference turbidity information can be the average value of multiple water quality turbidity data values ​​entering the water purification device during the first preset time period during the initial use process; the preset reference turbidity information can be the corresponding standard value of the average value of multiple water quality turbidity data values ​​entering the water purification device during the first preset time period during the initial use process.

[0052] Specifically, the first preset time period is set by the user based on the actual situation. Optionally, the first preset time period can be the period during which the current filter cartridge is first used. Optionally, the water purifier will detect whether the current filter cartridge is being used for the first time during operation. If the water purifier detects that the current filter cartridge is being used for the first time, the data processing module obtains the first reference turbidity information of the water entering the water purifier within the first preset time period. Furthermore, when the end time corresponding to the first preset time period is reached, the target water quality correction information is calculated based on the obtained first reference turbidity information, preset reference turbidity information, and preset duration, thereby determining the target water quality correction information.

[0053] Figure 5 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a process for determining first reference turbidity information according to an exemplary embodiment. In an alternative embodiment, such as... Figure 5 As shown, obtaining the first reference turbidity information of the water entering the water purification equipment within the first preset time period includes:

[0054] S501: Within a first preset time period, based on a preset frequency, acquire multiple first turbidity information of the water entering the water purification equipment;

[0055] S503: Based on multiple first turbidity information, determine the first reference turbidity information of the water entering the water purification equipment within a first preset time period.

[0056] In a specific embodiment, the first turbidity information can be the turbidity data value of the water entering the water purification device acquired during the first preset time period during initial use; the preset frequency can be the acquisition frequency of the first turbidity information; specifically, the user can set the turbidity data volume and preset frequency based on actual needs. Optionally, the turbidity data volume can be the number of first turbidity information acquired during the initial use of the current filter cartridge; correspondingly, when the water pump starts running, the first preset time period is set. Optionally, the start time of the first preset time period can be set after the water pump has been running for a period of time, for example, after the water pump has been running for 30 seconds; further, the water purification device control data acquisition module collects the first turbidity information within the first preset time period based on the set preset frequency, and accordingly, acquires multiple first turbidity information. Further, the data acquisition module sends the acquired multiple first turbidity information to the data processing module.

[0057] Furthermore, the data processing module receives multiple first turbidity information items and calculates the first reference turbidity information based on these multiple first turbidity information items over a first preset time period. Specifically, according to the formula... (1) Calculate the first reference turbidity information, that is, calculate the average value of multiple first turbidity information values; where A in the formula represents the first reference turbidity information. This represents the sum of multiple first turbidity information, where n represents the number of first turbidity information.

[0058] In the above embodiments, the accuracy of determining the current first reference information is improved by determining the first reference information by obtaining multiple first turbidity information within a first preset time period, and further, the accuracy of calculating the target water quality correction information is improved.

[0059] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a process for determining target water quality correction information according to an exemplary embodiment. In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the target water quality correction information determined based on the first reference turbidity information, the preset reference turbidity information, and the preset duration includes:

[0060] S601: Determine the reference turbidity difference based on the reference turbidity information and the preset reference turbidity information;

[0061] S603: Determine the reference deviation value based on the reference turbidity difference and preset reference turbidity information;

[0062] S605: Determine the target water quality correction information based on the benchmark deviation value and the preset duration.

[0063] In one specific embodiment, upon obtaining the first reference turbidity information, the data processing module compares the first reference turbidity information with preset reference turbidity information. Optionally, if the first reference turbidity information is not less than the product of the first weighting coefficient and the preset reference turbidity information, i.e., A≧K1A 标准 In the case of formula Calculate the target water quality correction information. Optionally, K1 can be 1.05; provided that the first reference turbidity information is not greater than the product of the second weighting coefficient and the preset reference turbidity information, i.e., A≦K2. 标准 In the case of formula Calculate the target water quality correction information. Optionally, K2 can be 0.95. Specifically, first, subtraction is performed based on the first reference turbidity information and the preset reference turbidity information to determine the reference turbidity difference. Then, the reference turbidity difference is divided by the preset reference turbidity information to determine the reference deviation probability, i.e., the reference deviation value. Finally, the target water quality correction information is calculated by combining the reference deviation value and the preset duration. The target water quality correction information is calculated when the first reference turbidity information falls between the product of the first weighting coefficient and the preset reference turbidity information, and the product of the second weighting coefficient and the preset reference turbidity information. 标准 <A<K1A 标准In this case, the target water quality correction information is set to 1, i.e., a = 1; where in the above formula, K1 represents the first weighting coefficient, K2 represents the second weighting coefficient, and A represents the first reference turbidity information. 标准 This indicates the preset baseline turbidity information.

[0064] In one specific embodiment, when the data processing module obtains the target water quality correction information, it sets a calculation flag bit. Specifically, it sets the calculation flag bit to be valid. Accordingly, the valid calculation flag bit is used to indicate that the target water quality correction information has been calculated. The data processing module sends the valid calculation flag bit to the water purification control module. Furthermore, based on the water pump operation command already received, the water purification control module controls the preset counter to start counting time when it obtains the valid calculation flag bit.

[0065] In the above embodiments, by comparing the first reference turbidity information and the preset reference turbidity information, the calculation formula for calculating the target water quality correction information is determined, and the target water quality correction information is calculated based on the first reference turbidity information, the preset reference turbidity information and the preset duration, thereby improving the accuracy of determining the target water quality correction information. Furthermore, it improves the accuracy of determining the current service life of the current filter element, and improves the accuracy and timeliness of the current filter element replacement.

[0066] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of a process for determining the current service life of a filter element according to an exemplary embodiment. In an optional embodiment, such as... Figure 7 As shown, determining the current lifespan of the current filter cartridge based on the target water quality correction information corresponding to the current filter cartridge, the preset filter cartridge decay rate, and the current usage time can include:

[0067] S701: Based on the target water quality correction information and the preset filter cartridge decay rate, determine the current decay rate corresponding to the current filter cartridge;

[0068] S703: Determine the current service life based on the current decay rate and current usage time.

[0069] In one specific embodiment, the current attenuation rate can be the attenuation rate corresponding to the service life of the current filter element; specifically, the current service life of the current filter element can be calculated based on the formula B = a * a 标准 *C(4), where a represents the target water quality correction information, a 标准 This indicates the preset filter cartridge decay rate, and C indicates the current usage time of the current filter cartridge;

[0070] Specifically, the target water quality correction information and the preset filter cartridge decay rate are multiplied to obtain the decay rate corresponding to the current filter cartridge, i.e., the current decay rate. Furthermore, based on the current decay rate corresponding to the current filter cartridge and the current usage time of the current filter cartridge, a multiplication operation is performed to determine the current lifespan of the current filter cartridge, i.e., the current service life.

[0071] In the above embodiments, the current decay rate of the current filter element is determined by using the calculated target water quality correction information and the preset filter element decay rate. Then, based on the current decay rate and the current usage time, the current service life is calculated. This improves the orderliness of the current service life calculation, the accuracy of determining the current service life of the current filter element, and the accuracy of the filter element replacement reminder.

[0072] S205: If the current service life is not less than the preset service life, provide a replacement reminder for the current filter element.

[0073] In one specific embodiment, the replacement prompt information is used to indicate whether the current filter element needs to be replaced; the current service life can be the service life corresponding to the current filter element; specifically, the current filter element has a standard service life, which is the service life that the current filter element can use during its use; further, the preset service life can be a portion of the standard service life corresponding to the current filter element; optionally, the preset service life can be the product of a third weighting coefficient and the standard service life.

[0074] Specifically, once the data processing module obtains the current service life of the current filter element, it compares the current service life with the preset service life. Furthermore, if the current service life is not less than the preset service life, the data processing module will provide a replacement prompt for the current filter element; if the current service life is less than the preset service life, the data processing module will not provide a replacement prompt for the current filter element, and the current filter element can continue to perform the next water purification operation.

[0075] In the above embodiments, by comparing the calculated current service life of the filter element with the preset service life, the accuracy of determining the filter element replacement prompt is improved, and further, the accuracy of filter element replacement is improved. At the same time, through accurate filter element replacement prompt information, the timeliness of filter element replacement is improved, and the waste of filter element resources is reduced.

[0076] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of a process for determining replacement flag information according to an exemplary embodiment. In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, after providing the replacement prompt for the current filter element, the above method may further include:

[0077] S801: When the water pump is running, within a second preset time period, based on a preset frequency, acquire multiple second turbidity information of the water entering the water purification equipment;

[0078] S803: Based on multiple second turbidity information, determine the second reference turbidity information of the water quality entering the water purification equipment within a second preset time period;

[0079] S805: Determine the replacement flag information based on the second reference turbidity information and the first reference turbidity information.

[0080] In one specific embodiment, the second preset time period is a period of time during the current use process, and the duration of the second preset time period is the preset duration; the replacement flag information is used to indicate whether the filter element replacement of the water purifier has been completed; the second turbidity information can be the turbidity data value of the water entering the water purifier obtained during the second preset time period during the current use process; the second reference turbidity information can be the average value of the turbidity data value of the water entering the water purifier during the second preset time period during the current use process.

[0081] Specifically, after the data processing module feeds back the change prompt information to the interaction module and the water purification control module, the water purification control module will continuously acquire the signal indicating whether the water pump is running. When the water purification control module reacquires the water pump running signal, after the water pump has been running for a period of time, it acquires multiple second turbidity information within the second preset time period. Accordingly, based on formula (1), it uses the multiple second turbidity information to calculate the second reference turbidity information during this use process. Furthermore, it compares the calculated second reference turbidity information with the first reference turbidity information. Further, based on the comparison result of the second reference turbidity information and the first reference turbidity information, it obtains more... Replacement flag information; Optionally, if the second reference turbidity information is between the first reference turbidity information and the product of the fourth weighting coefficient and the first reference turbidity information, i.e., A≦D≦K4A, the filter element in the water purification device is considered to have been replaced, and the replacement flag information indicates that the filter element replacement of the water purification device is complete; Optionally, if the second reference turbidity information is greater than the product of the fourth weighting coefficient and the first reference turbidity information, i.e., D>K4A, the filter element in the water purification device is considered not to have been replaced, i.e., the replacement flag information indicates that the filter element replacement of the water purification device is not complete; where D represents the second reference turbidity information and K4 represents the fourth weighting coefficient.

[0082] In the above embodiments, by using the second reference turbidity information and the first reference turbidity information to determine whether the filter element has been replaced, the safety of the water purification equipment is ensured, and the user experience is further improved.

[0083] Figure 9This is a schematic flowchart of a filter replacement method according to an exemplary embodiment. In one specific embodiment, such as... Figure 9 As shown, during the initial use of the water purification equipment, multiple first turbidity information points within a first preset time period are acquired. Based on these first turbidity information points, a first reference turbidity information is calculated. Then, based on the first reference turbidity information, the preset reference turbidity information, and the preset time period, target water quality correction information is calculated. Further, the data processing module acquires the count value of a preset counter during pump operation. Correspondingly, based on the count value, the current usage time of the current filter element is calculated. Further, based on the target water quality correction information, the current usage time, and the preset attenuation rate, the current service life of the current filter element is calculated. Finally, the current service life is compared with the preset service life to determine the current... The filter cartridge replacement prompt information determines whether the current filter cartridge needs to be replaced. Furthermore, the data processing module, based on data processing instructions from the water purification control module, detects whether the current filter cartridge has been replaced, acquires multiple second turbidity information values ​​within a second preset time period, calculates a second baseline turbidity information based on these values, and compares the calculated second baseline turbidity information with the first baseline turbidity information to determine the replacement indicator. This improves the accuracy of filter cartridge lifespan calculation and filter cartridge replacement prompts. Furthermore, accurate filter cartridge replacement prompts improve the timeliness of filter cartridge replacement, further reducing filter cartridge waste and enhancing the user experience.

[0085] The information acquisition module 1001 is used to acquire the current usage time of the current filter element in the water purification equipment in response to the water pump operation command of the water purification equipment.

[0086] The lifespan determination module 1003 is used to determine the current lifespan of the current filter element based on the target water quality correction information corresponding to the current filter element, the preset filter element decay rate, and the current usage time; the target water quality correction information is determined based on the first reference turbidity information of the water entering the water purification device within a preset time period, the preset reference turbidity information, and the preset time period during the initial use of the current filter element.

[0087] The replacement feedback module 1005 is used to provide a replacement prompt message for the current filter element when the current service life is not less than the preset service life.

[0088] In an optional embodiment, the above-described apparatus further includes:
