[0040] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and the embodiments of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0041] As one of the important components of the heating device, the heating component usually needs to monitor the temperature of the water source when using the heating component for heating. Specifically, the thermostat can be used. At present, the thermostat is mounted on the surface of the hot tank. When the temperature of the thermostat is lower than the set value, it is closed and the heating tube is powered on for heating; when the temperature of the thermostat reaches the set value, it is disconnected and the heating tube is powered off and stops heating. Using this principle, the water in the hot tank is stabilized within a certain range, which plays a role in heat preservation.

[0042] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The heating device shown includes a hot pot 101, a thermostat 102, and a heating tube 103. Its working principle is: the thermostat is mounted on the surface of the hot pot, and when the temperature of the thermostat is lower than the set value, it is closed, and the heating tube is powered on for heating; when the temperature of the thermostat reaches the set value, it is disconnected, and the heating tube is powered off and stops heating. Using this principle, the water in the hot pot is stabilized within a certain range, which plays a role in heat preservation.

[0043] Figure 1 The hot tank insulation solution shown in the figure, regardless of whether the user is at home or not, the heating tube keeps heating repeatedly, which wastes electricity resources when the user is not at home or resting at night, and also easily forms "thousand-boiling water".

[0044] In view of the existence of the above-mentioned problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a heating device and a heating control method, connecting a controller with a heating component and a temperature sensor. The controller can control the turning on or off of the heating component according to the living body information and the temperature information reported by the temperature sensor, thereby avoiding the heating component from repeatedly heating when the user is not at home or resting at night, causing waste of resources, thereby improving resource utilization and avoiding waste of electricity.

[0045] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the heating device provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2As shown, the heating device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a water inlet pipeline 201, a heating component 202, a temperature sensor 203 and a controller 204, wherein the water inlet pipeline 201 is connected to the heating component 202, and the heating component 202 is used to heat the water source of the water inlet pipeline 201; the temperature sensor 203 is connected to the heating component 202, and the temperature sensor 203 is used to detect the water temperature in the heating component 202; the controller 204 is connected to the heating component 202 and the temperature sensor 203, and the controller 204 is used to detect living body information within a preset range of the heating device, and the controller 204 is also used to control the opening or closing of the heating component 202; the controller 204 controls the opening or closing of the heating component 202 according to the living body information and the temperature information reported by the temperature sensor 203.

[0046] Among them, the water inlet pipeline 201 is responsible for transporting water to the heating component 202. The heating component 202 is connected to the water inlet pipeline 201, and its function is to heat the water flowing through it to increase the water temperature to the required insulation temperature. The temperature sensor 203 is used to monitor the water temperature in the heating component in real time to ensure that the water temperature is maintained within the set insulation temperature range. The main functions of the controller 204 include: detecting living body information within a preset range, such as using CSI (Channel State Information) technology to sense whether there is human activity nearby. According to the living body information and the temperature data provided by the temperature sensor, the heating component is intelligently controlled to be turned on or off. When human activity is detected, the controller can start the heating component to ensure that hot water is available when the user needs it. When no human activity is detected, or during the rest time period set by the user, the controller can turn off the heating component to save energy and prevent the water temperature from being too high.

[0047] For example, the user sets the insulation temperature to 40°C, and sets the rest time period from 10 pm to 6 am through the controller 204. At 9:55 pm, the user is ready to rest, and the controller 204 detects human activity and records it. When the time reaches 10 o'clock, the controller 204 turns off the heating component 202 to enter energy-saving mode. At 5:50 am the next morning, the user gets up and starts to move around. The controller 204 detects changes in living body information and restarts the heating component 202 according to the preset logic to ensure that when the user needs water at 6 am, the water temperature has reached or is close to the insulation temperature of 40°C. In this way, the heating device can not only provide the hot water required by the user, but also save energy when the user is not in use, thereby improving usage efficiency.

[0048] See also Figure 3 The heating component 202 includes a heating tank 2021 and a heating element 2022 disposed in the heating tank 2021 . The water inlet pipe 201 is connected to the heating tank 2021 . The heating element 2022 is used to heat the water source in the heating tank 2021 .

[0049] The heating tank 2021 is the main part of the heating component 202, which is used to store water that needs to be heated. The heating tank is usually made of heat-resistant materials to withstand temperature changes during the heating process. The heating element 2022 is arranged in the heating tank 2021, such as being arranged at the bottom of the heating tank 2021, and is a direct heat source for heating the water source. The heating element may be composed of a heating wire, an electric heating tube or other forms of electric heating elements, which are responsible for converting electrical energy into thermal energy, thereby heating the water in the heating tank. The connection method between the water inlet pipeline 201 and the heating tank 2021 may include pipes, valves, etc. to control the entry and outflow of water. The heating element 2022 is used to heat the water source in the heating tank 2021. When the controller 204 determines that heating is required based on the water temperature information and living body information detected by the temperature sensor 203, the heating element 2022 will be started to heat the water to a preset insulation temperature.

[0050] For example, the insulation temperature set by the user is 50°C. When the user leaves home, the controller 204 does not detect any living information through the CSI technology and decides to turn off the heater 2022 to save energy. When the user returns home and the CSI technology detects living information, the controller 204 will determine whether the water temperature is lower than 50°C based on the reading of the temperature sensor 203. If the water temperature is lower than the set insulation temperature, the controller 204 will start the heater 222 to heat the water in the heating tank 2021. The heater 2022 starts working, converting electrical energy into thermal energy, causing the water temperature in the heating tank to gradually rise until it reaches or exceeds 50°C. Once the insulation temperature is reached, the controller 204 will adjust the working state of the heater 222 based on the real-time monitored water temperature and living information to maintain a constant water temperature, ensuring that the user has access to hot water at any time.

[0051] See also Figure 4 The heating assembly 202 includes a heating tank 2021 and a heating element 2022 disposed outside the heating tank 2021. The water inlet pipe 201 is connected to the heating tank 2021. The water inlet pipe 201 is connected to the heating tank 2021. The heating element 2022 heats the water source in the heating tank 2021 through heat exchange. Figure 3 The difference between the heating device and the heating device is that the heating element 2022 is arranged on the outside of the heating tank 2021, rather than the inside. The heating element 2022 is an independent heating unit, which transfers heat to the water in the heating tank by heat exchange. The heating element 2022 transfers heat to the outer wall of the heating tank 2021 through some heat exchange mechanism (for example, through heat conduction, convection or radiation). The water in the heating tank absorbs this heat by contacting the tank wall, thereby achieving the purpose of heating. Controller 204: Responsible for monitoring the entire heating process, including detecting water temperature and living body information, and controlling the working state of the heating element 2022 based on this information to ensure that the water temperature in the heating tank is maintained within the insulation temperature range set by the user.

[0052] For example, the user sets the insulation temperature to 60°C. When the controller 204 detects that the water temperature in the heating tank 2021 is lower than 60°C through the temperature sensor 203, it starts the heating element 2022. The heating element 2022 starts to heat up and transfers heat to the outer wall of the heating tank 2021 through heat exchange. The water in the heating tank gradually rises in temperature by contacting these heated inner walls. When the water temperature reaches or exceeds 60°C, the controller 204 adjusts the power of the heating element 2022 or turns off the heating element according to the real-time monitored water temperature and living body information (if any) to maintain the water temperature within the set insulation temperature range. If the user is away from home for a long time, the controller 204 cannot detect the living body information, and may reduce the heating power of the heating element 2022 or turn it off completely to save energy. When the user returns and the living body information is detected, the controller 204 will adjust the work of the heating element 2022 accordingly to ensure that the user can use hot water.

[0053] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the temperature sensor 203 is disposed on the outer surface of the heating tank 2021 , or passes through the heating tank 2021 .

[0054] Set on the outer surface of the heating tank 2021: In this way, the temperature sensor 203 is directly installed on the outside of the heating tank 2021 and contacts the outer surface of the tank. The sensor can monitor the temperature of the outer surface of the heating tank in real time, thereby indirectly inferring the temperature of the water in the tank.

[0055] Through the heating tank 2021: In this way, the temperature sensor 203 penetrates the side wall of the heating tank 2021 and directly contacts the water in the tank. The sensor can more accurately monitor the actual temperature of the water in the tank because the sensor is in direct contact with the water, reducing the time and error of temperature transfer.

[0056] For example, the heating device is used for a household water heater, and the user sets the insulation temperature to 45°C. The temperature sensor 203 can provide different temperature monitoring solutions according to different installation methods. If the sensor is installed on the outer surface of the heating tank 2021, the controller 204 will indirectly control the heating state of the heating element 2022 according to the temperature information provided by the sensor to maintain the water temperature in the tank close to 45°C. If the sensor runs through the heating tank 2021, the controller 204 will obtain more direct temperature feedback, thereby more accurately controlling the heating element 2022 to ensure that the water temperature is constant at the set insulation temperature. Regardless of the installation method, the controller 204 will intelligently adjust the heating component according to the real-time monitored water temperature and living body information to achieve energy saving and meet the user's hot water needs.

[0057] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the controller 204 can determine whether there is a living body within the preset range of the heating device based on the living body information; when the controller 204 detects that there is a living body within the preset range of the heating device, the controller 204 controls the heating component 202 to be turned on or off according to the temperature information reported by the temperature sensor 203.

[0058] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, when the controller 204 detects the presence of a living body within a preset range of the heating device, the controller 204 calculates the difference between the temperature value corresponding to the temperature information reported by the temperature sensor 203 and a preset value; when the temperature value is greater than the preset value, the controller 204 controls the heating component 202 to be turned on.

[0059] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, when the temperature value is less than or equal to a preset value, the controller 203 controls the heating component 202 to be turned off.

[0060] The heating device provided in the present application includes: a water inlet pipeline 201, a heating component 202, a temperature sensor 203, and a controller 204; the water inlet pipeline 201 is connected to the heating component 202, and the heating component 202 is used to heat the water source of the water purification pipeline; the temperature sensor 203 is connected to the heating component 202, and the temperature sensor 203 is used to detect the water temperature in the heating component 202; the controller 204 is connected to the heating component 202 and the temperature sensor 203, and the controller 204 is used to detect living body information within a preset range of the heating device, and the controller 204 is also used to control the opening or closing of the heating component 202; wherein the controller 204 controls the opening or closing of the heating component 202 according to the living body information and the temperature information reported by the temperature sensor 203. In the heating control scheme of the present application, the controller 204 is connected to the heating component 202 and the temperature sensor 203. The controller 204 can control the turning on or off of the heating component 202 according to the living body information and the temperature information reported by the temperature sensor 203, so as to avoid the heating component 202 repeatedly heating when the user is not at home or resting at night, thereby improving resource utilization and avoiding electricity waste.

[0061] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic flow chart of a heating control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The heating control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is used to control the heating device described above. It should be noted that the above description of the implementation method and beneficial effects of the heating device is also applicable to the heating control method of this embodiment.

[0062] like Figure 5 As shown, the heating control method provided in the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0063] Step S301, detecting living body information within a preset range of the heating device;

[0064] Step S302: Acquire temperature information of a temperature sensor.

[0065] Step S303: controlling the heating component to be turned on or off according to the temperature information and the living body information.

[0066] In step S301, various sensor technologies, such as infrared sensors, motion sensors or CSI (Channel State Information) technology, can be used to detect the presence and activity of living bodies. If a living body is detected, it indicates that the user may need to use hot water, and the heating device should be prepared to heat or maintain the water temperature.

[0067] In step S302, a temperature sensor is installed on the outer surface of the heating tank or runs through the heating tank to measure the water temperature in real time and send the data to the controller. The controller receives the data for subsequent decision-making process to determine whether the working state of the heating component needs to be adjusted.

[0068] In step S303, a living body is present and the water temperature is lower than the set value: If a living body is detected and the water temperature is lower than the insulation temperature set by the user, the controller will start the heating component to start heating the water.

[0069] No living organisms present and water temperature below set point: If no living organisms are detected and the water temperature is below the set keep warm temperature, the controller can choose not to activate the heating component to save energy.

[0070] Living organisms are present and the water temperature reaches or exceeds the set value: If living organisms are detected and the water temperature reaches or exceeds the set insulation temperature, the controller will maintain the working state of the heating component or make appropriate adjustments to maintain the water temperature.

[0071] No living organisms present and water temperature at or above set point: If no living organisms are detected and the water temperature reaches or exceeds the set hold temperature, the controller may choose to shut down the heating element to save energy.

[0072] Application: This intelligent control method can significantly improve energy efficiency and reduce unnecessary energy consumption, while ensuring that users can get hot water at the right temperature when they need it.

[0073] For example, a family member gets up and goes into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. The CSI sensor detects live information and transmits this information to the controller. At this time, the temperature sensor detects that the water temperature in the heating tank is 30°C and sends this information to the controller. If the water temperature is lower than 45°C and live information is detected (family members are in the kitchen), the controller will start the heating component, the heating element will start working, and the water will be heated to 45°C. If the water temperature has reached 45°C and live information is detected, the controller will maintain the working state of the heating component to ensure that the water temperature remains at the set insulation temperature. If the water temperature is lower than 45°C, but no live information is detected (family members are not in the kitchen), the controller may choose not to start the heating component to save energy. If the water temperature is higher than 45°C and no live information is detected, the controller may turn off the heating component, or reduce the power to prevent the water temperature from being too high and save energy.

[0074] As a result, the heating device can achieve intelligent temperature control and energy management, improve user experience and save energy.

[0075] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the step of “controlling the turning on or off of the heating component according to the temperature information and the living body information” may specifically include:

[0076] Determining whether there is a living body within a preset range of the heating device according to the living body information;

[0077] When a living body is detected within a preset range of the heating device, the difference between the temperature value corresponding to the temperature information reported by the temperature sensor and the preset value is calculated;

[0078] When the temperature value is greater than the preset value, the heating component is controlled to be turned on;

[0079] When the temperature value is less than or equal to the preset value, the heating component is controlled to be turned off.

[0080] For example, a user enters the bathroom to take a shower. The sensor detects the living body information and transmits this information to the controller. After the user enters the bathroom, the controller requests the temperature sensor to provide the current water temperature information. The controller calculates that the difference between the current water temperature (38°C) and the preset insulation temperature (42°C) is 4°C. Based on the difference, the controller determines that the water needs to be heated, so it starts the heating component, and the heating element starts working to heat the water to the preset insulation temperature. During the heating process, the water temperature rises to 42°C, at which time the water temperature detected by the temperature sensor is equal to the preset insulation temperature. The controller determines that the current water temperature has reached the preset value, so it controls the heating component to stop heating to save energy and prevent the water temperature from being too high.

[0081] Through this series of intelligent control steps, the heating device can automatically adjust the heating process according to the user's actual presence and water temperature requirements, ensuring that the user can use water at the appropriate temperature when needed, while saving energy when the user is not present, improving overall energy efficiency and user experience.

[0082] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, it may further specifically include: when it is detected that there is no living body within a preset range of the heating device, the heating component is controlled to be turned off.

[0083] For example, based on the feedback from the sensor, the controller determines that there is no user in the bathroom at present, so it decides to turn off the heating component to save energy. If the water temperature in the heating tank 2021 is 40°C at this time, and the insulation temperature set by the user is 42°C, even if the water temperature is lower than the preset value, the controller will choose to turn off the heating component because no living information is detected. The controller will stop supplying power to the heating element, and the heating element will stop heating, thereby avoiding unnecessary energy consumption. If a family member returns to the bathroom later, the sensor will detect the living information again and pass this information to the controller. If the family member who returns to the bathroom needs to use hot water and the water temperature has dropped to 38°C, the controller will restart the heating component based on the new living information and water temperature to heat the water to the preset insulation temperature of 42°C.

[0084] The above is the heating control process provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0085] The embodiment of the present application provides a heating control method, which obtains the temperature information of the temperature sensor after detecting the living body information within the preset range of the heating device, and finally controls the opening or closing of the heating component according to the temperature information and the living body information. In the heating control scheme of the present application, the controller is connected to the heating component and the temperature sensor. The controller can control the opening or closing of the heating component according to the living body information and the temperature information reported by the temperature sensor, so as to avoid the heating component repeatedly heating when the user is not at home or resting at night, thereby improving resource utilization and avoiding power waste.
