[0001] This application relates to the field of water purifier technology, and in particular to a water purifier control method, device, equipment and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Existing water purifiers often integrate heating functions. To increase the hot water output flow rate and improve the user experience, the heating power of the heating element is often increased to achieve this. For example, the heating power of the heating element can reach around 3200W. However, due to the power limitations of some users' home circuits, a water purifier with a power of up to 3200W can easily cause the circuit breaker to trip during normal operation. Since the heating power of the water purifier is fixed at the factory, it cannot be used in all users' home circuits. Summary of the Invention

[0054] 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 1As 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, and an inlet water temperature detection device 17. 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.

[0055] 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.

[0057] It should be noted that, Figure 1 The arrows in the diagram indicate the direction of water flow.

[0058] In addition, it should be noted that, Figure 1The 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.

[0059] The following describes the water purifier control method described in this application. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 The diagram shown is a flowchart illustrating a water purifier control 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 possible execution order among many steps and does not represent the only execution order. In practical applications, the methods shown in the embodiments or accompanying drawings can be executed sequentially or in parallel. Specifically, the water purifier control method specifically includes the following steps:

[0060] S101: Obtain the working status data of the water purifier. The working status data includes the output voltage and the first output power of the heating element in the water purifier. The first output power is the maximum output power of the heating element.

[0061] In this embodiment, the output voltage corresponding to the heating element is the voltage value flowing through the heating element when it is working normally, that is, the voltage value across the heating element when it is working normally. The first output power corresponding to the heating element is the maximum output power corresponding to the heating element, that is, the maximum output power before the power of the heating element is adjusted. It can be understood that the first output power is the current maximum output power corresponding to the heating element. It should be noted that when the water purifier is powered for the first time, the first output power corresponding to the heating element is the maximum output power corresponding to the heating element at the factory, that is, the rated power. After the water purifier is powered multiple times, the first output power corresponding to the heating element is the current maximum output power corresponding to the heating element. The current maximum output power corresponding to the heating element is less than or equal to the maximum output power corresponding to the heating element at the factory. It can be understood that the maximum output power of the heating element is adjustable. Therefore, the solution provided by this application can avoid the circuit tripping situation caused by the maximum output power of the water purifier being too high, so that the maximum output power of the water purifier can adapt to the actual power supply situation in the user's home, thereby improving the user experience.

[0062] In practical applications, the maximum output power of the heating element at the factory can be 3200W. After adjustment, the maximum output power of the heating element can be 1000W to 3200W. Therefore, by reducing or maintaining the maximum output power of the heating element, the maximum output power of the water purifier can be adapted to the actual power supply situation in the user's home, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the water purifier.

[0063] S102: Determine the power adjustment data based on the output voltage and the first output power. The power adjustment data represents the power value after adjusting the maximum output power of the water purifier.

[0064] Specifically, when the output voltage meets the preset voltage condition, that is, when the output voltage is less than the preset voltage threshold, the maximum output power of the water purifier can be adjusted to a value equal to the power adjustment data. It should be noted that when the output voltage is less than the preset voltage threshold, it indicates that the critical condition for triggering the circuit to trip has been reached. Therefore, the maximum output power of the water purifier can be adjusted so that the corresponding maximum output power of the water purifier is equal to the power adjustment data. This can avoid the circuit tripping situation due to the maximum output power of the water purifier being too high, so that the maximum output power of the water purifier can adapt to the actual power supply situation in the user's home, improving the user experience.

[0065] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, it is a flowchart illustrating a power adjustment data determination method provided in an embodiment of this application. Specifically, step S102 may include:

[0066] S1021: Compare the output voltage with a preset voltage threshold;

[0067] S1022: When the output voltage is less than the preset voltage threshold, obtain the heating time corresponding to the heating element;

[0068] S1023: Determine the second output power corresponding to the heating element based on the heating time and the first output power. The second output power is the maximum output power corresponding to the heating element after adjustment, and the second output power is less than the first output power.

[0069] S1024: Determine the second output power as the power adjustment data.

[0070] In this embodiment, when the output voltage is less than a preset voltage threshold, it indicates that the critical condition for triggering the circuit to trip has been reached. The maximum output power of the water purifier can then be adjusted so that the maximum output power of the water purifier is reduced to the power adjustment data. This allows the maximum output power of the water purifier to adapt to the actual power supply situation in the user's home, thereby avoiding the circuit tripping caused by the maximum output power of the water purifier being too high.

[0071] In one specific embodiment, when the output voltage is less than a preset voltage threshold, a second output power corresponding to the heating element can be determined based on the obtained heating time and first output power. The heating time is the time from triggering heating to detecting that the output voltage is less than the preset voltage threshold. The second output power is the output power value to which the maximum output power of the heating element needs to be adjusted. That is, by reducing the maximum output power of the heating element to the second output power, the circuit tripping situation caused by the excessive maximum output power of the water purifier can be avoided. Furthermore, the second output power is determined as power adjustment data; that is, the maximum output power of the water purifier is equal to the power adjustment data. Therefore, based on the power adjustment data, when the heating element in the water purifier is controlled to heat at its maximum output power, a circuit tripping situation will not occur, improving the reliability, safety, and control accuracy of the water purifier, thus solving the problem of easy circuit tripping when too many electrical appliances are used in a user's home.

[0072] In practical applications, water purifiers also include a voltage detection circuit. The voltage detection circuit is used to detect the output voltage of the heating element in the water purifier. When the output voltage of the heating element is detected to be less than a preset voltage threshold, the power adjustment data is determined based on the heating time and the first output power of the heating element. That is, the first output power is adjusted and updated to the power adjustment data to ensure that the water purifier can output stably.

[0073] Furthermore, in a specific embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, it is a flowchart illustrating a second output power determination method provided in an embodiment of this application. Specifically, step S1023 may include:

[0074] S10231: Determine the heating time percentage corresponding to the heating element based on the heating time and the preset heating time threshold;

[0075] S10232: Determine the second output power corresponding to the heating element based on the heating time ratio and the first output power.

[0076] In this embodiment, the second output power can be determined based on the ratio of the first output power and heating time to the preset heating time threshold. Power adjustment data can be determined based on the second output power, thereby avoiding the situation where the maximum output power of the heating element is too large or too small, so as to achieve precise adjustment of the maximum output power of the heating element.

[0077] Specifically, the product of the heating time percentage corresponding to the heating element and the first output power can be used as the second output power corresponding to the heating element. In practical applications, let the second output power be equal to the power adjustment data P. max ,but

[0078]

[0079] In the formula, P m The first output power is T, the heating time is A, and the preset heating time threshold is A. The preset heating time threshold is greater than the heating time, which can reduce the power adjustment data equal to the second output power, thereby adjusting the maximum output power of the heating element to ensure the heating stability of the water purifier.

[0080] S103: Control the heating element in the water purifier according to the power adjustment data.

[0081] In this embodiment of the application, heating control of the heating element in the water purifier can be understood as controlling the maximum output power of the heating element as power adjustment data, so as to adjust the maximum output power of the heating element to adapt to the power supply situation of all users.

[0082] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, this is a flowchart illustrating a heating control method for a heating element provided in an embodiment of this application. Specifically, step S103 may include:

[0083] S1031: Obtain the heating temperature difference data corresponding to the heating element;

[0084] S1032: Determine the water flow rate corresponding to the hot water pump in the water purifier based on the power adjustment data and heating temperature difference data;

[0085] S1033: Based on the water flow rate data, determine the third output power corresponding to the heating element. The third output power represents the output power of the heating element corresponding to a one-degree increase in water temperature in the water purifier.

[0086] S1034: Based on the third output power and power adjustment data, determine the number of sine waves generated by the heating element in one cycle. One cycle is the cycle corresponding to when the water in the water purifier reaches the boiling point from a certain temperature value.

[0087] S1035: Heating control of the heating element is based on the number of sine waves.

[0088] In this embodiment, the heating temperature difference data is the temperature difference data corresponding to the boiling point from a certain temperature value. Specifically, under one standard atmosphere, the heating temperature difference data is the temperature difference data corresponding to water being heated from 0 degrees Celsius to 100 degrees Celsius, that is, the heating temperature difference data is 100. Under non-standard atmosphere, the heating temperature difference data is the temperature difference data corresponding to water being heated from 0 degrees Celsius to the boiling point corresponding to the current atmosphere. It should be noted that the heating temperature difference data corresponding to non-standard atmosphere is less than the heating temperature difference data corresponding to one standard atmosphere.

[0089] In some specific embodiments, the water flow data is the minimum water flow rate corresponding to the hot water pump in the water purifier. Based on this minimum water flow rate, a third output power, representing the output power of the heating element corresponding to a one-degree increase in water temperature within the water purifier, can be determined. This third output power, along with power adjustment data, allows for the determination of the number of sine waves generated by the heating element within one cycle. The number of sine waves generated by the heating element within one cycle is the number of sine waves generated by the current or voltage flowing through the heating element within one cycle. Based on this number of sine waves, heating control of the heating element can be implemented. By controlling the number of sine waves generated by the heating element within one cycle, the maximum output power of the heating element can be controlled, thereby achieving precise heating control and improving the power supply applicability of the water purifier.

[0090] In practical applications, the ratio of the product of the power adjustment data and the second heating parameter to the product of the heating temperature difference data and the first heating parameter can be used as the heating temperature difference data corresponding to the heating element. Specifically, let the water flow rate data be FLOW. min ,but

[0091]

[0092] In the formula, P max Here, M represents the heating temperature difference, 4.2 represents the first heating parameter, and 60 represents the second heating parameter. Furthermore, given the water flow rate, the product of the water flow rate and the first heating parameter can be divided by the second heating parameter to obtain the third output power. Specifically, let the third output power be P. min ,but

[0093]

[0094] In the formula, FLOW min 4.2 represents the water flow rate, 60 represents the first heating parameter, and 4.2 represents the second heating parameter.

[0095] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 6 As shown, it is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining the number of sine waves provided in an embodiment of this application. Specifically, step S1034 may include:

[0096] S10341: Determine the ratio of power adjustment data to the third output power;

[0097] S10342: Determine the number of sine waves based on the ratio, where the number of sine waves is the integer part of the ratio of the power adjustment data to the third output power.

[0098] In one specific embodiment, let the number of sine waves be N, then

[0099]

[0100] In the formula, P max For power adjustment data, P min The third output power is N, which is an integer. This allows us to obtain the number of sine waves, so that we can adjust the maximum output power of the heating element based on the number of sine waves to suit the power supply conditions of all users.

[0101] Furthermore, in one specific embodiment, the water purifier includes a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) control circuit, and correspondingly, step S1035 may include:

[0102] S10351: Based on the thyristor control circuit, it controls the heating element to generate a number of sine waves in one cycle, so that the output power of the heating element is the power adjustment data.

[0103] In this embodiment of the application, the number of sine waves generated by the heating element in one cycle can be controlled by the thyristor control circuit, so as to adjust the maximum output power of the heating element to adapt to the power supply conditions of all users.

[0104] In one specific embodiment, the thyristor control circuit is a circuit that uses a thyristor (also known as a silicon controlled rectifier) ​​as a switching element. It is mainly used for the control and regulation of alternating current. Specifically, a positive voltage needs to be applied between the anode and cathode of the thyristor, and a positive voltage is also applied to the control electrode. Only then will the thyristor be in the conducting state. When the thyristor is turned off, the positive voltage applied between the anode and cathode of the thyristor needs to be reduced or removed so that the anode current is less than the minimum holding current, thereby turning off the thyristor. Furthermore, by controlling the conduction and shutdown of the thyristor, the number of sine waves generated by the heating element in one cycle can be controlled to adjust the maximum output power of the heating element.

[0105] Specifically, the more times a thyristor is turned on in one cycle, the greater the output power; conversely, if the number of turns on decreases, the output power will decrease. This is mainly because the thyristor allows current to flow when it is on and blocks current flow when it is off. Therefore, the maximum output power of the heating element can be effectively controlled by controlling the number of times the thyristor is turned on.

[0106] In an optional implementation, step S10351 may include:

[0107] S103511: Controls the thyristor in the thyristor control circuit to be in an alternating on and off state so that the sine wave generated by the heating element appears alternately in one cycle, and the preset interval between adjacent sine waves is equal to the cycle length corresponding to the sine wave.

[0108] In this embodiment of the application, by controlling the thyristor in the thyristor control circuit to be in an alternating on and off state, the sine wave generated by the heating element in one cycle appears alternately, thereby improving the uniformity of heating by the heating element and thus improving the water purifier's tolerance.

[0109] In one specific embodiment, the sine wave and the preset interval appear alternately. For example, the number of times the sine wave generated by the heating body alternates within one cycle is greater than or equal to 6, thereby achieving equal symmetry of the sine wave and improving the heating uniformity of the heating body.

[0110] In another specific embodiment, multiple sine waves alternate with multiple preset intervals. For example, two sine waves alternate with two preset intervals, three sine waves alternate with three preset intervals, or four sine waves alternate with four preset intervals, and so on.

[0111] It should be noted that the number of sine waves generated by the heating element in one cycle is controlled by wave dropping, and each pulse needs to be activated at the zero crossing point. This can prevent the water purifier's tolerance from being reduced due to sudden changes in the output voltage of the heating element.
