Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

In addition, components, features, and elements with the same name in different embodiments of the present application may have the same meaning or different meanings, and their specific meanings need to be determined by their explanation in the specific embodiment or further combined with the context of the specific embodiment.

[0043] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0044] In the subsequent description, the suffixes such as "module", "component" or "unit" used to represent elements are only used to facilitate the description of the present application, and have no specific meanings. Therefore, "module", "component" or "unit" can be used in a mixed manner.

[0045] The substance replenishment method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied in Figure 1 In an application environment, the application environment includes: a processor 1, a memory 2, an object detection component 31, and a salt detection component 32, and the processor 1 is electrically connected to the memory 2, the object detection component 31, and the salt detection component 32.

[0046] The object detection component 31 obtains the water level height and the salt block height in the water tank of the water heater, and the salt detection component 32 obtains the salt content detected by the salt detection component. The above-mentioned processor 1 implements the steps when executing the computer program: obtaining the water level height and the salt block height in the water tank of the water heater by the object detection component 31; obtaining the salt content detected by the salt detection component 32; generating material replenishment prompt information corresponding to the water tank according to the water level height, the salt block height and the salt content.

[0047] The material replenishment scheme provided in the present application can obtain the water level height and salt block height in the water tank detected by the detection component, and obtain the salt content detected by the salt detection component, so as to generate material replenishment prompt information corresponding to the water tank according to the water level height, salt block height and salt content. There is no need for the user to manually open the water tank to determine the usage level of the water and salt blocks in the water tank. Therefore, the usage level of the water and salt blocks in the water tank can be accurately determined, and the material in the water tank can be accurately replenished, which effectively improves the softening effect and intelligence, and thus improves the user experience.

[0048] Figure 1 The application environment is suitable for water heaters, such as Figure 2 The diagram shows part of the water heater structure. Figure 2 The water heater includes: a salt box 21, an object detection component 22a, a salt detection component 22b, a memory ( Figure 2 not shown), a processor ( Figure 2 The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a salt box 21 having a plurality of salt blocks 23 and a plurality of salt blocks 23. The method comprises: manufacturing a salt box 21 having a plurality of salt blocks 23 and a plurality of salt blocks 23 ...

[0049] It is understandable that the water heater may also include other components, such as a power supply component, the input end of the power supply component is electrically connected to the AC power supply, and the output end of the power supply component inputs electrical energy to the power-consuming components of the water heater (that is, the control component, the detection component, the memory, and the processor), which is not limited here.

[0050] The present application provides a material replenishment method, including: obtaining the water level height and salt block height detected by the detection component; obtaining the salt content detected by the salt detection component; and generating material replenishment prompt information corresponding to the water storage tank according to the water level height, salt block height and salt content.

[0051] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the substance supplementation method provided in this application, and combined with Figure 2 , as follows:

[0052] S101, obtaining the water level height and salt block height detected by the object detection component.

[0053] Among them, in the embodiment of the present application, the object detection component can be a TOF sensor (an optical sensor), ToF: Time of flight, which calculates the distance between the object being measured by measuring the "flight time" of signals such as ultrasound or light between the transmitter and the receiver. It is essentially a distance measurement method.

[0054] Sensors that use the ToF principle to achieve distance measurement are called ToF sensors. Commonly used ToF sensors include ultrasonic, infrared and laser.

[0055] Taking optical ToF as an example, the sensor emits laser or infrared through a micro-emitter, and the light is reflected on the surface of the target object and received by the receiver. By calculating the exact time between the emission of light and the reception of light, the distance from the ToF sensor to the target object can be calculated: (speed of light * flight time) / 2. It can be understood that the ToF sensor emits a light pulse, which is reflected back after encountering an object (such as water or a salt block), and the ToF sensor receives the reflected light pulse. By calculating the round-trip time of the light pulse, the ToF sensor can determine the distance to the object.

[0056] For example, when the user turns on the automatic softening function switch of the water heater, the height information of each target object to be measured in the water tank of the water heater can be obtained through the detection component, where the target object to be measured can be a salt block in a salt box or the current water level in the water tank.

[0057] S102: Obtain the salt content detected by the salt detection component.

[0058] Among them, the salt detection component of the embodiment of the present application can be a salinity sensor, and the working principle of the salinity sensor is mainly based on the conductivity detection method. The working principle of the salinity sensor is mainly based on the conductivity detection method, because the conductivity of the aqueous solution increases with the increase of the salt content. Specifically, when salt is dissolved in water, positive and negative ions are formed, and these ions can conduct electricity. Therefore, by measuring the conductivity of the aqueous solution, the salt content can be indirectly determined. The salinity sensor is usually composed of a pair of electrodes with a layer of platinum or rhodium with stable physical and chemical properties on the surface. These electrodes can be inserted into the solution to be tested, and the conductivity of the solution is determined by measuring the flow of current.

[0059] Specifically, the salinity sensor is usually composed of a pair of electrodes. When these electrodes are immersed in water containing ionic substances, the ions in the water react with the electrode sheets on the electrodes to form a capacitor. When a DC voltage passes through this capacitor, the presence of ionic substances affects the resistance value of the capacitor, thereby changing the conductivity. The salinity sensor calculates the salinity in the water by measuring this change in conductivity. Of course, the salt detection component can also be an intelligent salinity sensor, which also includes a platinum black conductivity electrode and a corresponding conditioning circuit, and converts the salinity concentration by measuring the conductivity concentration of the ion solution. An increase in the ion concentration in the solution will result in a higher conductivity value, and the current size is proportional to the conductivity of the solution.

[0060] S103, generating material replenishment prompt information corresponding to the water storage tank according to the water level, salt block height and salt content.

[0061] For example, judging whether the current water level is lower than the preset minimum safe water level, judging whether the height of the salt block is lower than the preset minimum height, and judging whether the salt content is within the preset appropriate range, if it is too high or too low, adjustments may be required. If the water level is lower than the minimum safe water level, the system will prompt that water needs to be added. If the height of the salt block is lower than the minimum height, the system will prompt that salt blocks need to be added. If the salt content is too high, the system may prompt that fresh water needs to be added to dilute the salt, or that desalination equipment needs to be used. If the salt content is too low, the system may prompt that more salt blocks need to be added.

[0062] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, these prompt messages can be displayed to the user in an easy-to-understand manner through the user interface of the water heater, such as through an LED screen or a touch screen.

[0063] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the step of “generating material replenishment prompt information corresponding to the water storage tank according to the water level, the salt block height and the salt content” may specifically include:

[0064] Calculate the height difference between the water level and the salt block in the water storage tank according to the water level and the salt block height;

[0065] Based on the height difference and salt content, the corresponding material replenishment prompt information of the water storage tank is generated.

[0066] For example, the height difference between the water level and the salt block is calculated, and then the current salt content is obtained through the salinity sensor. Then, it is decided whether the substance needs to be supplemented based on the height difference and the salt content. If the water level is lower than the preset minimum water level, it is prompted to add water; if the salt block height is lower than the preset minimum salt block height, it is prompted to add salt blocks. If the height difference is less than the preset safety height difference, it is necessary to add water or salt blocks to maintain the appropriate water-salt ratio. If the salt content is higher than the preset maximum salt content, it is prompted to add fresh water to reduce the salt content. If the salt content is lower than the preset minimum salt content, it is prompted to add salt blocks to increase the salt.

[0067] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the step of “generating material replenishment prompt information corresponding to the water storage tank based on the height difference and the salt content” may specifically include:

[0068] Detecting whether the salt content is greater than or equal to a preset salt content;

[0069] If the salt content is greater than or equal to the preset salt content, determining whether the water level is less than or equal to the salt block according to the height difference;

[0070] If the water level is less than or equal to the salt block, a water replenishment prompt message corresponding to the water storage tank is generated.

[0071] The detected salt content is compared with the preset salt content to determine whether the salt content has reached the preset standard. If the salt content is greater than or equal to the preset salt content, the height difference between the water level in the water storage tank and the salt block needs to be calculated next. If the water level is less than or equal to the height of the salt block, this indicates that the water in the water storage tank may not be sufficient to maintain normal water-salt balance or operating efficiency, and a reminder message for replenishing water should be generated at this time. The prompt message may be: "Since the current salt content has reached or exceeded the preset value, and the water level is lower than or equal to the height of the salt block, it is recommended to add water immediately to maintain the water-salt balance in the water storage tank.

[0072] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the following may be specifically included:

[0073] If the salt content is less than the preset salt content, determining whether the water level is less than or equal to the salt block according to the height difference;

[0074] If the water level is greater than or equal to the salt block, a salt block replenishment prompt message corresponding to the water storage tank is generated.

[0075] For example, if the water level is greater than or equal to the height of the salt block, this indicates that the salt block in the water tank may not be sufficient to maintain the required salt content, and a prompt message for replenishing the salt block should be generated. The prompt message can be: "Since the current salt content is lower than the preset value and the water level is higher than the salt block height, it is recommended to replenish the salt block immediately to increase the salt content in the water tank."

[0076] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the following may be specifically included:

[0077] If the water level is greater than or equal to the salt block, the salt content is less than the preset salt content and the height of the salt block is less than the preset value, a salt block replenishment prompt message corresponding to the water storage tank is generated.

[0078] If the water level is greater than or equal to the height of the salt block, and the salt content is less than the preset salt content, and the height of the salt block is also less than the preset value, this indicates that the salt block may need to be supplemented to increase the salt content. In this case, the system will generate a prompt message to supplement the salt block, such as: "It is detected that the salt content in the water tank is lower than the preset value, and the height of the salt block is lower than the minimum safe height. It is recommended to supplement the salt block immediately to ensure that the salt content and the amount of salt blocks in the water tank remain at an appropriate level."

[0079] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, after the step of “generating material replenishment prompt information corresponding to the water storage tank according to the water level height, the salt block height and the salt content”, the following may be specifically included:

[0080] If the material replenishment prompt information is water replenishment prompt information, then the preset multi-level water level line information is obtained;

[0081] The water storage tank is replenished according to the multi-level water level information, water level height and salt block height.

[0082] First, you need to obtain the multi-level water level information of the water storage tank. This information usually includes the height of different water levels and the corresponding water replenishment amount. Judge based on the water level height and the salt block height: Use the water level sensor to obtain the current water level height and compare it with the height of the salt block. Determine the amount of water that needs to be replenished by calculating the relationship between the water level height and the salt block height. Determine the specific amount of water replenishment based on the multi-level water level information and the current water level height. Start the water replenishment system and inject water into the water storage tank until the water level reaches the preset safety level. During the water replenishment process, continuously monitor the water level changes to ensure that the water replenishment amount is appropriate to avoid overflow or shortage.

[0083] In summary, this embodiment obtains the water level height and salt block height detected by the detection component; obtains the salt content detected by the salt detection component, and finally, generates the material replenishment prompt information corresponding to the water tank according to the water level height, salt block height and salt content. In the material replenishment scheme provided in the present application, the water level height and salt block height in the water tank detected by the detection component, and the salt content detected by the salt detection component, can be obtained, so as to generate the material replenishment prompt information corresponding to the water tank according to the water level height, salt block height and salt content, without the need for the user to manually open the water tank to determine the degree of use of the water and salt blocks in the water tank. Thus, the degree of use of the water and salt blocks in the water tank can be accurately determined, and the material in the water tank can be accurately replenished, effectively improving the softening effect and intelligence, thereby improving the user experience.
