Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0102] In addition, the technical solutions between the various implementation methods can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the fact that they can be implemented by ordinary technicians in this field. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this disclosure.

[0103] Example 1

[0104] This embodiment provides a drinking water platform that can output medium-temperature water. As a feasible implementation method, the drinking water platform is as follows Figure 1 As shown, it includes a water outlet device 101, a normal temperature water tank 102 and a hot water tank 103.

[0105] The water outlet device 101 includes a first water outlet pipe 1011 , a first water outlet control module 1014 , a first water supply module 1012 and a second water supply module 1013 . The first water supply module 1012 and the second water supply module 1013 are disposed on the first water outlet pipe 1011 .

[0106] The first water outlet control module 1014 is connected to the water outlet 104 of the drinking water platform, the first water outlet pipe 1011 is connected to the normal temperature water tank 102, the hot water tank 103 and the first water outlet control module 1014, the first water supply module 1012 is arranged between the normal temperature water tank 102 and the second water supply module 1013, and the second water supply module 1013 is arranged between the hot water tank 103 and the first water outlet control module 1014.

[0107] When the first water outlet control module 1014 is turned on, the first water outlet pipe 1011 is connected to the water outlet 104, and the first water supply module 1012 is used to transport the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water tank 102 to the second water supply module 1013, and the second water supply module 1013 is used to suck out high temperature water from the hot water tank 103 when the normal temperature water passes through; wherein, the normal temperature water and the high temperature water are mixed to obtain medium temperature water.

[0108] Specifically, when the user uses the drinking water platform to obtain medium-temperature water, the first water outlet control module 1014 is turned on, so that the first water outlet pipe 1011 is connected to the water outlet 104. The first water delivery module 1012 delivers the normal-temperature water in the normal-temperature water tank 102 to the second water delivery module 1013 by rotating. When the normal-temperature water quickly passes through the second water delivery module 1013, the second water delivery module 1013 sucks out high-temperature water from the hot water tank 103, mixes the normal-temperature water with the high-temperature water to obtain medium-temperature water, and delivers it to the water outlet 104 through the first water outlet pipe 1011.

[0109] As a feasible implementation, the first water delivery module 1012 includes a micro pump, and the second water delivery module 1013 includes an ejector. The micro pump quickly delivers normal temperature water to the ejector, and the normal temperature water triggers a Venturi effect when passing through the ejector. The ejector sucks out the high temperature water in the hot water tank 103, mixes the high temperature water with the normal temperature water, and then obtains medium temperature water.

[0110] Exemplarily, the micro pump is disposed below the normal temperature water tank 102. When the first water outlet control module 1014 is turned on, the first water outlet pipe 1011 is connected to the water outlet 104. The normal temperature water in the normal temperature water tank 102 flows to the micro pump under the action of gravity, and the micro pump quickly transports the normal temperature water to the ejector, and mixes with the high temperature water to obtain medium temperature water.

[0111] See also Figure 2 As a feasible implementation, the hot water tank 103 is arranged below the normal temperature water tank 102, and the hot water tank 103 is connected to the normal temperature water tank 102 through the water trap 105; the drinking water platform also includes a first temperature sensing device 1015 and a control device 106. The main function of the water trap is to form a bend in the pipeline so as to accumulate a certain amount of water at the lower part of the pipeline, which can prevent the hot air in the hot water tank 103 from entering the normal temperature water tank 102.

[0112] The first temperature sensing device 1015 is disposed between the second water supply module 1013 and the first water outlet control module 1014. The first temperature sensing device 1015 is used to detect the first temperature of the medium-temperature water. The control device 106 is electrically connected to the first water supply module 1012 and the first temperature sensing device 1015. The control device 106 is used to receive the first temperature and drive the rotation speed of the first water supply module 1012 according to the first temperature so as to keep the first temperature within a preset temperature range.

[0113] Exemplarily, the hot water tank 103 is disposed below the normal temperature water tank 102 and is connected to the normal temperature water tank 102 through a U-shaped or S-shaped trap. Normal temperature water first enters the normal temperature water tank 102 and enters the hot water tank 103 through a pipe disposed at the bottom of the normal temperature water tank 102. That is, after the hot water tank 103 is filled with normal temperature water, the normal temperature water tank 102 begins to store normal temperature water.

[0114] Then, during the water discharge process, after the high-temperature water in the hot water tank 103 is reduced, the normal-temperature water in the normal-temperature water tank 102 will automatically be added to the hot water tank 103, causing the temperature of the high-temperature water to gradually decrease. If the speed at which the first water delivery module 1012 delivers normal-temperature water to the ejector remains unchanged, as the temperature of the high-temperature water decreases, the temperature of the medium-temperature water will also gradually decrease.

[0115] Specifically, the faster the rotation speed of the first water delivery module 1012 is, the more normal temperature water will pass through the second water delivery module 1013 in the same time, which will cause the temperature of the medium temperature water to decrease. Therefore, when the control device 106 detects that the first temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, it drives the first water delivery module 1012 to reduce the rotation speed to increase the temperature of the medium temperature water. Similarly, when the control device 106 detects that the first temperature is higher than the second preset temperature, it drives the first water delivery module 1012 to increase the rotation speed to reduce the temperature of the medium temperature water. In addition, the temperature of the medium temperature water is maintained at 45 degrees Celsius to 55 degrees Celsius.

[0116] In addition, in order to ensure that medium-temperature water can be output, it is also necessary to ensure that there is a certain amount of normal-temperature water in the normal-temperature water tank 102.

[0117] As a feasible implementation, the drinking water platform further includes a water level detection device disposed in the normal temperature water tank, the water level detection device being used to detect the current water level of the normal temperature water;

[0118] The control device 106 is electrically connected to the water level detection device. The control device 106 is used to receive the current water level of the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water tank, and drive the first water outlet control module 1014 according to the current water level and a preset lower limit water level.

[0119] Exemplarily, if the current water level reaches the preset lower limit water level, the control device 106 drives the first water outlet control module 1014 to turn on; if the current water level does not reach the preset lower limit water level, the control device 106 drives the first water outlet control module 1014 to turn off.

[0120] In practical applications, the drinking water platform is mostly a water dispenser. In order to meet the needs of users for drinking water of various temperatures, the drinking water platform needs to be able to output not only medium-temperature water, but also normal-temperature water and / or high-temperature water.

[0121] As a feasible implementation, the water outlet device 101 further includes a second water outlet pipe and a second water outlet control module, one end of the second water outlet pipe is connected to the hot water tank 103, and the other end is connected to the second water outlet control module, so that the drinking water platform can directly output high-temperature water. The second water outlet control module is connected to the water outlet 104. When the second water outlet control module is turned on, the second water outlet pipe is connected to the water outlet 104, and the medium and high temperature water in the hot water tank 103 is output from the water outlet 104 through the second water outlet pipe.

[0122] Similarly, as another feasible implementation, the water outlet device 101 further includes a third water outlet pipe and a third water outlet control module, one end of the third water outlet pipe is connected to the normal temperature water tank 102, and the other end is connected to the third water outlet control module. The third water outlet control module is connected to the water outlet 104. When the third water outlet control module is turned on, the third water outlet pipe is connected to the water outlet 104, and the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water tank 102 is output from the water outlet 104 through the third water outlet pipe.

[0123] Specifically, the first water outlet control module 1014, the second water outlet control module and the third water outlet control module can be connected to different water outlets 104 respectively. Alternatively, any two water outlet control modules are combined to one water outlet 104, for example, any two of the first water outlet control module 1014, the second water outlet control module and the third water outlet control module are combined to form a two-inlet and one-outlet valve. Alternatively, the first water outlet control module 1014, the second water outlet control module and the third water outlet control module are all connected to the same water outlet 104, for example, the first water outlet control module 1014, the second water outlet control module and the third water outlet control module are combined to form a three-inlet and one-outlet valve.

[0124] Exemplarily, the first water outlet control module 1014 and the second water outlet control module are combined into a two-inlet and one-outlet hot water outlet valve, and the outlet 104 of the hot water outlet valve is connected to the hot water outlet 104 in the drinking water platform. The third water outlet control module is a cold water outlet valve, and the cold water outlet valve is connected to the normal temperature water outlet 104 of the drinking water platform.

[0125] The drinking water platform provided in this embodiment also has heating and filtering functions.

[0126] As a feasible implementation method, the drinking water platform is as follows Figure 3 As shown, a filtering device 107 is also included.

[0127] The filter device 107 is connected to the normal temperature water tank 102 and the water inlet 108 of the drinking water platform. The control device 106 is electrically connected to the filter device 107, and the control device 106 is used to respond to the start of the filter device 107. The filter device 107 is used to obtain water to be filtered through the water inlet 108, filter the water to be filtered to obtain normal temperature water, and transport the normal temperature water to the normal temperature water tank 102 and the hot water tank 103.

[0128] Specifically, the filtering device 107 includes a water inlet pipe, and a water inlet valve, a water inlet pump and a filtering module arranged on the water inlet pipe; one end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the water inlet 108 of the drinking water platform, and the other end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the normal temperature water tank 102; the control device 106 is electrically connected to the water inlet valve and the water inlet pump respectively, and the control device 106 is used to receive the opening of the water inlet valve and drive the water inlet pump to pressurize so that the water to be filtered passes through the filtering module and enters the normal temperature water tank 102.

[0129] As a feasible implementation mode, the filtration module includes a pretreatment unit, a reverse osmosis filtration unit and a post-filtration unit connected in sequence; the pretreatment unit is used to filter visible impurities, the reverse osmosis filtration unit is used to filter invisible impurities, and the post-filtration unit is used to adjust the pH value of the water to be filtered.

[0130] The pre-treatment unit and the post-filtration unit respectively include at least one of filter cotton, activated carbon filter element, and ultrafiltration filter element, and the reverse osmosis filtration unit includes one or more reverse osmosis filter elements.

[0131] Specifically, the pretreatment unit is used to filter visible impurities in the water to be filtered to obtain first filtered water. The reverse osmosis filtration unit is used to filter invisible impurities such as viruses, bacteria, heavy metals, etc. in the first filtered water to obtain second filtered water. The post-filtration unit is used to adjust the pH of the second filtered water to neutral or weakly alkaline to obtain third filtered water to improve the taste.

[0132] For example, see Figure 4 On the water inlet pipe 1071 connected between the water inlet 108 and the normal temperature water tank 102, a pre-treatment unit 1072, a water inlet valve 1073, a water inlet pump 1074, a reverse osmosis filtration unit 1075 and a post-filtration unit 1076 are sequentially arranged.

[0133] The control device 106 drives the water inlet valve 1073 to open, drives the water inlet pump 1074 to pressurize, and obtains the water to be filtered from the water inlet 108. The pretreatment unit 1072 is used to filter the visible impurities in the water to be filtered to obtain the first filtered water. The reverse osmosis filtration unit 1075 is used to filter the invisible impurities such as viruses, bacteria, heavy metals, etc. in the first filtered water to obtain the second filtered water. The post-filtration unit 1076 is used to adjust the pH value of the second filtered water to neutral or weak alkaline to obtain normal temperature water with good taste, and finally input the normal temperature water into the normal temperature water tank 102.

[0134] As a feasible implementation, the drinking water platform further includes a heating device disposed in the hot water tank 103 and a low water level sensing device disposed in the normal temperature water tank 102 .

[0135] Specifically, the low water level sensing device is used to sense and obtain a first water level signal representing a first water level of normal temperature water; the control device 106 is electrically connected to the heating device and the low water level sensing device, respectively, and the control device 106 is used to receive the first water level signal, drive the heating device to start, and heat the normal temperature water entering the hot water tank 103 from the normal temperature water tank 102 to obtain high temperature water.

[0136] That is, when the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water tank 102 reaches the first water level, the control device 106 drives the heating device to start, and heats the normal temperature water in the hot water tank 103 to obtain high temperature water. After the heating device is started, the heating device can be set to automatically stop heating after a fixed heating time according to actual needs, or it can be set to stop heating after the high temperature water reaches a fixed temperature.

[0137] Exemplarily, the low water level sensing device is a float liquid level gauge, which is composed of a float, a rod, etc. The float usually floats on the liquid surface in the normal temperature water tank 102, and when the water level of the normal temperature water tank 102 changes, the float also moves up and down. Due to the magnetic effect, the reed of the float liquid level gauge is magnetically attracted, and the liquid surface position is changed into an electrical signal. Among them, the float liquid level gauge is a prior art that should be known to those skilled in the art, and will not be introduced in detail here.

[0138] The low water level sensing device in this embodiment sets an upper limit for the rise of the float, that is, when the float rises from the bottom to the top of the low water level sensing device, it reaches the first water level and generates a first water level signal. In addition, after the normal temperature water submerges the low water level sensing device, the first water level signal will continue to be generated.

[0139] As a feasible implementation, the drinking water platform further includes a second temperature sensing device disposed in the hot water tank 103, and the second temperature sensing device is used to detect the second temperature of the high-temperature water in the hot water tank 103. The control device 106 is electrically connected to the second temperature sensing device, and the control device 106 is further used to receive the second temperature, and according to the second temperature and a preset temperature threshold, that is, when the second temperature reaches the preset temperature threshold, drive the heating device to stop.

[0140] Exemplarily, when the second temperature sensing device detects that the second temperature reaches 95 degrees Celsius or 100 degrees Celsius, the control device 106 drives the heating device to stop heating.

[0141] After the filtering device 107 is started, the filtering device 107 can be set to automatically stop filtering after filtering for a fixed time according to actual needs, or it can be set to stop filtering after the water level in the normal temperature water tank 102 reaches a fixed water level.

[0142] As a feasible implementation, the drinking water platform also includes a high water level sensing device arranged in the normal temperature water tank 102, and the high water level sensing device is arranged above the low water level sensing device; the high water level sensing device is used to sense and obtain a second water level signal representing the second water level of normal temperature water.

[0143] The control device 106 is electrically connected to the low water level sensing device and the high water level sensing device respectively. The control device 106 is also used to receive a first water level signal to drive the heating device 1016 to start, and receive a second water level signal to drive the filtering device 107 to stop.

[0144] Exemplarily, a low water level sensing device and a high water level sensing device are provided in the normal temperature water tank 102 . When the water inlet valve is opened, the filter device 107 delivers normal temperature water to the normal temperature water tank 102 and the hot water tank 103 .

[0145] Normal temperature water first enters the hot water tank 103 through a pipe arranged at the bottom of the normal temperature water tank 102, until the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water tank 102 reaches a first water level, the low water level sensing device generates a first water level signal, the control device 106 receives the first water level signal, drives the heating device 1016 to start, and heats the normal temperature water in the hot water tank 103 to obtain high temperature water.

[0146] At the same time, the filtering device 107 continues to supply normal temperature water to the normal temperature water tank 102 until the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water tank 102 reaches a second water level. The high water level sensing device produces a second water level signal, and the control device 106 receives the second water level signal to drive the filtering device 107 to stop supplying normal temperature water to the normal temperature water tank 102.

[0147] In addition, in order to prevent the low water level sensing device from failing or malfunctioning, and erroneously starting the heating device 1016, as a feasible implementation method, the drinking water platform also includes a middle water level sensing device, which is arranged between the low water level sensing device and the high water level sensing device; the middle water level sensing device is used to sense and obtain a third water level signal representing a third water level of normal temperature water; wherein the third water level is higher than the first water level, and the third water level is lower than the second water level; the control device 106 is electrically connected to the middle water level sensing device, and the control device 106 is also used to receive the first water level signal and the third water level signal, and drive the heating device 1016 to start.

[0148] That is, the heating device 1016 is activated only when the control device 106 receives the first water level signal and the third water level signal at the same time. In this way, the drinking water platform can activate the heating device 1016 to heat the normal temperature water in the hot water tank 103 to obtain high temperature water when there is enough normal temperature water in the normal temperature water tank 102.

[0149] Similarly, in order to prevent the high water level device from failing and the filtering device 107 from being stopped in time, resulting in the water in the normal temperature water tank 102 overflowing, as a feasible implementation method, the drinking water platform also includes a spare water level sensing device arranged in the normal temperature water tank 102; the spare water level sensing device is used to sense and obtain a fourth water level signal representing a fourth water level of normal temperature water; wherein the fourth water level is higher than the second water level; the control device 106 is electrically connected to the spare water level sensing device, and the control device 106 is also used to receive the fourth water level signal and drive the filtering device 107 to stop.

[0150] As a feasible implementation, the drinking water platform further includes a first drainage pipe and a first drainage valve arranged on the first drainage pipe, so as to discharge the waste water generated by the filtering device 107 .

[0151] Specifically, the first drainage pipe connects the filter device 107 and the drainage port of the drinking water platform. The control device 106 is used to drive the first drainage valve to open in response to the filter device 107 starting, and to drive the first drainage valve to close in response to the filter device 107 stopping.

[0152] Exemplarily, one end of the first drainage pipe is connected to the osmosis filtration unit, and the other end is connected to the first drainage valve. In response to the start of the filtration device 107, the control device 106 drives the first drainage valve to open, so that the wastewater generated by the reverse osmosis filtration unit can be discharged through the drainage port. In response to the stop of the filtration device 107, the control device 106 drives the first drainage valve to close.

[0153] In addition, this embodiment takes into account that if the normal temperature water and high temperature water stored in the drinking water platform are not used for a long time, they will still breed a large number of bacteria. Therefore, the idle time of the water outlet device 101 can be accumulated through the control device 106 to facilitate the discharge of high temperature water and normal temperature water that have not been used for a long time.

[0154] As a feasible implementation, the drinking water platform further includes a second drainage pipe and a second drainage valve disposed on the second drainage pipe. The second drainage pipe connects the hot water tank 103 and the drainage port of the drinking water platform. The control device 106 is also used to accumulate the idle time of the water outlet device 101, and drive the second drainage valve to open according to the idle time and the preset time threshold, that is, when the idle time reaches the preset time threshold, and drive the second drainage valve to close in response to the emptying of the normal temperature water tank 102 and the hot water tank 103.

[0155] Based on the drinking water platform provided in the above embodiment, in an actual application scenario, it is specifically implemented as a Figure 5 The water dispenser shown.

[0156] In response to the opening of the water inlet valve 1073, the control device drives the water inlet pump 1074 to pressurize, and the tap water is sequentially passed through the pre-treatment unit 1072, the reverse osmosis filtration unit 1075 and the post-filtration unit 1076 from the water inlet 108 based on the water inlet pipe 1071 to obtain normal temperature water and transport it to the normal temperature water tank 102. Generally, a container made of polypropylene can be selected as the normal temperature water tank 102. In addition, an exhaust hole 1025 is opened at the top of the normal temperature water tank 102 for exhaust.

[0157] When the water inlet valve 1073 is opened, the first drain valve 1092 is opened at the same time. Wastewater generated by the reverse osmosis filtration unit 1075 is discharged through the first drain pipe 1091 and the drain port 109. When the water inlet valve 1073 is closed, the first drain valve 1092 is closed at the same time.

[0158] Normal temperature water enters the hot water tank 103 through the water trap 105 provided at the bottom of the normal temperature water tank 102. A stainless steel heating liner can usually be selected as the hot water tank 103. When the hot water tank 103 is full, normal temperature water will continue to be transported to the normal temperature water tank 102 until the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water tank 102 reaches the first water level, and the low water level sensing device 1021 continues to generate the first water level signal. Then, the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water tank 102 reaches the third water level, and the middle water level sensing device 1023 generates the third water level signal. The control device 106 receives the first water level signal and the third water level signal, and drives the heating device 1016 to heat the normal temperature water in the hot water tank 103 to obtain high temperature water.

[0159] Continue to input normal temperature water into the normal temperature water tank 102 until the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water tank 102 reaches the second water level, and the high water level sensing device 1022 generates a second water level signal. The control device 106 receives the second water level signal, drives the water inlet valve 1073 and the water inlet pump 1074 to close, and stops water delivery.

[0160] If the high water level sensing device 1022 fails, when the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water tank 102 reaches the fourth water level, the control device 106 drives the water inlet valve 1073 and the water inlet pump 1074 to close according to the fourth water level signal sensed by the backup water level sensing device 1024.

[0161] The second temperature sensing device 1017 detects the second temperature of the high-temperature water. When the second temperature reaches 95 degrees Celsius, the control device 106 drives the heating device 1016 to stop heating.

[0162] In the water dispenser, the first water outlet control module 1014 and the second water outlet control module 1018 form a two-inlet and one-outlet hot water outlet valve.

[0163] When the user takes the medium-temperature water, the first water outlet control module 1014 is turned on, so that the first water outlet pipe 1011 is connected to the hot water outlet 1041. The micro pump quickly delivers the normal temperature water to the ejector, triggering the Venturi effect. The ejector sucks out the high temperature water in the hot water tank 103, mixes the high temperature water with the normal temperature water, and then obtains the medium temperature water. The medium temperature water is delivered to the hot water outlet 1041 through the first water outlet pipe 1011. The first temperature sensing device 1015 detects the first temperature of the medium temperature water. When the first temperature is lower than 45 degrees Celsius, the control device 106 drives the micro pump to reduce the speed. When the first temperature is higher than 55 degrees Celsius, the control device 106 drives the micro pump to increase the speed.

[0164] When the user uses high-temperature water, the second water outlet control module 1018 is turned on, so that the second water outlet pipe 10181 is connected to the water outlet. The high-temperature water is transported to the hot water outlet 1041 through the second water outlet pipe 10181.

[0165] When the user uses normal temperature water, the third water outlet control module 1096 is turned on to connect the third water outlet pipe 1095 with the normal temperature water outlet 1042. The normal temperature water is delivered to the normal temperature water outlet 1042 through the third water outlet pipe 1095.

[0166] If the user does not use the water in the water dispenser for a long time, the control device 106 accumulates the idle time of the water outlet device of the water dispenser, and drives the second drain valve 1094 to start according to the idle time and the preset time threshold, so as to discharge the high-temperature water in the hot water tank 103 through the second drain pipe 1093 and the drain port 109. During the drainage process of the hot water tank 103, the normal-temperature water in the normal-temperature water tank 102 also enters the hot water tank through the pipe 104, and is also discharged through the second drain pipe 1093 and the drain port 109.

[0167] Furthermore, in order to prevent water backflow, in this embodiment, one-way valves are provided on the first water outlet pipe 1011 , the second water outlet pipe 10181 , the third water outlet pipe 1095 , the second drainage pipe 1093 and the first drainage pipe 1091 .

[0168] Example 2

[0169] This embodiment provides a control method for a drinking water platform.

[0170] Based on the drinking water platform of the above embodiment, the control method is as follows Figure 6 As shown, including:

[0171] S201, using the first water delivery module to deliver the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water tank to the second water delivery module;

[0172] S202, when the normal temperature water passes through the second water delivery module, controlling the second water delivery module to suck out the high temperature water from the hot water tank, and mixing the normal temperature water with the high temperature water to obtain medium temperature water;

[0173] S203, in response to the first water outlet control module being turned on, obtaining a first temperature of the medium-temperature water detected by a first temperature sensing device;

[0174] S204: When the first temperature does not reach the preset temperature condition, adjust the rotation speed of the first water supply module according to the first temperature until the first temperature reaches the preset temperature condition.

[0175] Through the above implementation, the rotation speed of the first water delivery module is intelligently controlled to provide users with medium-temperature water of suitable temperature. Not only can the first temperature of the medium-temperature water be moderately maintained within a preset target temperature or a preset temperature range, but also the energy-saving effect of the drinking water platform can be improved.

[0176] Based on the above drinking water platform, in order to keep the first temperature of the medium-temperature water suitable for users to drink, as a feasible implementation, step S204 includes:

[0177] Determine whether the first temperature is greater than a preset temperature upper limit of a preset temperature range, and if so, control the rotation speed of the first water delivery module to increase to reduce the first temperature;

[0178] It is determined whether the first temperature is less than a preset temperature lower limit of a preset temperature range. If so, the rotation speed of the first water delivery module is controlled to decrease to increase the first temperature.

[0179] As another feasible implementation, step S204 includes:

[0180] Determine whether the first temperature is greater than a preset target temperature, and if so, control the rotation speed of the first water delivery module to increase to reduce the first temperature;

[0181] It is determined whether the first temperature is lower than a preset target temperature. If not, the rotation speed of the first water delivery module is controlled to decrease to increase the first temperature.

[0182] Specifically, the faster the rotation speed of the first water delivery module is, the more normal temperature water will pass through the second water delivery module in the same time, which will cause the temperature of the medium temperature water to decrease. Therefore, when it is detected that the first temperature is less than the preset temperature lower limit or the preset target temperature, the rotation speed of the first water delivery module is reduced to increase the temperature of the medium temperature water. When it is detected that the first temperature is greater than the preset temperature upper limit or the preset target temperature, the rotation speed of the first water delivery module is increased to reduce the temperature of the medium temperature water. In addition, the first temperature of the medium temperature water is maintained between the preset temperature lower limit and the preset temperature upper limit, or maintained at the preset target temperature.

[0183] Furthermore, in order to ensure that medium-temperature water can be output, it is also necessary to ensure that there is a certain amount of normal-temperature water in the normal-temperature water tank. As a feasible implementation, before the first water outlet control module is turned on, it also includes:

[0184] Obtain the current water level of the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water tank through the water level detection device;

[0185] Determine whether the current water level reaches the preset lower limit water level;

[0186] If it is reached, the first water outlet control module is controlled to start;

[0187] If not reached, the first water outlet control module is controlled to remain closed.

[0188] That is to say, when the current water level of the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water tank does not reach the preset lower limit water level, it is necessary to control the first water outlet control module to remain closed to prevent the outlet water temperature from being too high and scalding the user.

[0189] Based on the filtering device, heating device and low water level sensing device of the above-mentioned drinking water platform, in order to intelligently start the heating device in the drinking water platform, as a feasible implementation method, the control method also includes:

[0190] S301, controlling the filter device to start, so as to deliver normal temperature water to the normal temperature water tank and the hot water tank;

[0191] S302: In response to the first water level signal, the heating device is controlled to start, so as to heat the normal temperature water entering the hot water tank from the normal temperature water tank to obtain high temperature water.

[0192] The first water level signal is generated when the low water level sensing device senses that the normal temperature water reaches the first water level.

[0193] As another feasible implementation, based on the water level sensing device in the above-mentioned drinking water platform, step S302 includes: in response to the first water level signal and the third water level signal, controlling the heating device to start.

[0194] Among them, the third water level signal is generated when the middle water level sensing device senses that the normal temperature water reaches a third water level. The third water level is higher than the first water level, and the third water level is lower than the second water level.

[0195] That is to say, the heating device can be started only when the first water level signal and the third water level signal are generated at the same time.

[0196] After the filter device is started, the control method should promptly control the filter device to stop supplying water to the normal temperature water tank to prevent the normal temperature water from overflowing or flowing back into the filter device.

[0197] Based on the high water level sensing device of the above-mentioned drinking water platform, in order to intelligently control the filtering device to stop, as a feasible implementation method, after step S301, it also includes the step of: controlling the filtering device to stop in response to the second water level signal.

[0198] The second water level signal is generated when the high water level sensing device senses that the normal temperature water reaches the second water level.

[0199] Furthermore, based on the backup water level sensing device of the above-mentioned drinking water platform, to prevent the high water level sensing device from failing, as a feasible implementation method, after step S301, it also includes the step of controlling the filtering device to stop in response to the fourth water level signal.

[0200] Among them, the fourth water level sensing signal is generated by the backup water level sensing device when it senses that the normal temperature water reaches a fourth water level, and the fourth water level is higher than the second water level.

[0201] Similarly, after the heating device is started, the control method should promptly control the heating device to stop heating to save energy.

[0202] Based on the second temperature sensing device of the drinking water platform, the heating device can be intelligently controlled to stop. As a feasible implementation, after step S302, the following steps are further included:

[0203] Detecting a second temperature of the high-temperature water in the hot water tank by a second temperature sensing device;

[0204] In response to the second temperature reaching the preset temperature threshold, the heating device is controlled to stop.

[0205] Furthermore, based on the first drainage pipe and the first drainage valve of the drinking water platform, the waste water generated by the filtering device can be discharged. As a feasible implementation, after step S301, the following steps are further included:

[0206] Controlling the first drainage valve to open so as to discharge the waste water generated by the filtering device from the first drainage pipe to the drinking water platform;

[0207] In response to the filter device stopping, the first drain valve is controlled to be closed.

[0208] In addition, this embodiment also takes into account that if the normal temperature water and high temperature water stored in the drinking water platform are not used for a long time, they will still breed a large number of bacteria. Therefore, the idle time of the water outlet device can be accumulated to facilitate the discharge of high temperature water and normal temperature water that have not been used for a long time.

[0209] Based on the second drainage pipe and drainage valve of the drinking water platform, as a feasible implementation method, the control method also includes:

[0210] S401, accumulating the idle time of the water outlet device; wherein the idle time is reset to zero each time the second water outlet control module is turned on;

[0211] S402, in response to the idle time of the water outlet device exceeding a preset time threshold, controlling the second drain valve to open, so as to discharge the high-temperature water and the normal-temperature water from the second drain pipe to the drinking water platform;

[0212] S403: In response to the normal temperature water tank and the hot water tank being emptied, the second drain valve is controlled to be closed.

[0213] The above embodiment reduces the possibility of bacteria breeding in the normal temperature water and high temperature water by regularly discharging the normal temperature water and high temperature water that have not been used for a long time.

[0214] Example 3

[0215] This embodiment provides a control system for a drinking water platform.

[0216] Based on the drinking water platform of the above embodiment, the control system is as follows Figure 7 As shown, including:

[0217] The first water delivery control unit 501 is used to use the first water delivery module to deliver the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water tank to the second water delivery module;

[0218] The second water supply control unit 502 is used to control the second water supply module to suck out high-temperature water from the hot water tank when the normal-temperature water passes through the second water supply module, and mix the normal-temperature water with the high-temperature water to obtain medium-temperature water;

[0219] The temperature detection unit 503 is used to obtain the first temperature of the medium-temperature water detected by the first temperature sensing device in response to the first water outlet control module being turned on;

[0220] The temperature control unit 504 is used to adjust the rotation speed of the first water supply module according to the first temperature when the first temperature does not reach the preset temperature condition, until the first temperature reaches the preset temperature condition.

[0221] Through the above implementation, the rotation speed of the first water delivery module is intelligently controlled to provide users with medium-temperature water of suitable temperature. Not only can the first temperature of the medium-temperature water be moderately maintained within a preset target temperature or a preset temperature range, but also the energy-saving effect of the drinking water platform can be improved.

[0222] Based on the above-mentioned drinking water platform, in order to keep the first temperature of the medium-temperature water suitable for users to drink, as a feasible implementation method, the temperature control unit 504 is used to determine whether the first temperature is greater than the preset upper temperature limit of the preset temperature range. If so, the rotation speed of the first water delivery module is controlled to increase to lower the first temperature; determine whether the first temperature is less than the preset lower temperature limit of the preset temperature range. If so, the rotation speed of the first water delivery module is controlled to decrease to increase the first temperature.

[0223] As another feasible implementation, the temperature control unit 504 is used to determine whether the first temperature is greater than the preset target temperature. If so, the rotation speed of the first water supply module is controlled to increase to lower the first temperature; determine whether the first temperature is lower than the preset target temperature. If not, the rotation speed of the first water supply module is controlled to decrease to increase the first temperature.

[0224] Specifically, the faster the rotation speed of the first water delivery module is, the more normal temperature water will pass through the second water delivery module in the same time, which will cause the temperature of the medium temperature water to decrease. Therefore, when the temperature control unit 504 detects that the first temperature is less than the preset temperature lower limit or the preset target temperature, it reduces the rotation speed of the first water delivery module to increase the temperature of the medium temperature water. When the temperature control unit 504 detects that the first temperature is greater than the preset temperature upper limit or the preset target temperature, it increases the rotation speed of the first water delivery module to reduce the temperature of the medium temperature water. In addition, the first temperature of the medium temperature water is maintained between the preset temperature lower limit and the preset temperature upper limit, or maintained at the preset target temperature.

[0225] Furthermore, in order to ensure that medium-temperature water can be output, it is also necessary to ensure that there is a certain amount of normal-temperature water in the normal-temperature water tank. As a feasible implementation, the control system further includes an intelligent control unit 505, which is used to obtain the current water level of the normal-temperature water in the normal-temperature water tank through a water level detection device; determine whether the current water level reaches a preset lower limit water level; if so, control the first water outlet control module to turn on; if not, control the first water outlet control module to remain closed.

[0226] That is to say, when the current water level of the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water tank does not reach the preset lower limit water level, it is necessary to control the first water outlet control module to remain closed to prevent the outlet water temperature from being too high and scalding the user.

[0227] Based on the filtering device, heating device and low water level sensing device of the above-mentioned drinking water platform, in order to intelligently start the heating device in the drinking water platform, as a feasible implementation method, the intelligent control unit 505 is used to control the start of the filtering device to deliver normal temperature water to the normal temperature water tank and the hot water tank; in response to the first water level signal, the heating device is controlled to start to heat the normal temperature water entering the hot water tank from the normal temperature water tank to obtain high temperature water.

[0228] The first water level signal is generated when the low water level sensing device senses that the normal temperature water reaches the first water level.

[0229] Based on the water level sensing device in the above-mentioned drinking water platform, as another feasible implementation, the intelligent control unit 505 is used to control the start-up of the heating device in response to the first water level signal and the third water level signal.

[0230] Among them, the third water level signal is generated when the middle water level sensing device senses that the normal temperature water reaches a third water level. The third water level is higher than the first water level, and the third water level is lower than the second water level.

[0231] That is to say, the heating device can be started only when the first water level signal and the third water level signal are generated at the same time.

[0232] After the filter device is started, the control method should promptly control the filter device to stop supplying water to the normal temperature water tank to prevent the normal temperature water from overflowing or flowing back into the filter device.

[0233] Based on the high water level sensing device of the above-mentioned drinking water platform, in order to intelligently control the filtering device to stop, as a feasible implementation method, the intelligent control unit 505 is used to control the filtering device to stop in response to the second water level signal.

[0234] The second water level signal is generated when the high water level sensing device senses that the normal temperature water reaches the second water level.

[0235] Furthermore, based on the backup water level sensing device of the above-mentioned drinking water platform, to prevent the high water level sensing device from failing, as a feasible implementation method, the intelligent control unit 505 is used to control the filtering device to stop in response to the fourth water level signal.

[0236] Among them, the fourth water level sensing signal is generated by the backup water level sensing device when it senses that the normal temperature water reaches a fourth water level, and the fourth water level is higher than the second water level.

[0237] Similarly, after the heating device is started, the control method should promptly control the heating device to stop heating to save energy.

[0238] Based on the second temperature sensing device of the above-mentioned drinking water platform, the heating device can be intelligently controlled to stop. As a feasible implementation mode, the intelligent control unit 505 is used to detect the second temperature of the high-temperature water in the hot water tank through the second temperature sensing device; in response to the second temperature reaching the preset temperature threshold, the heating device is controlled to stop.

[0239] Moreover, based on the first drain pipe and the first drain valve of the above-mentioned drinking water platform, the waste water generated by the filtering device can be discharged. As a feasible implementation mode, the intelligent control unit 505 is used to control the opening of the first drain valve to discharge the waste water generated by the filtering device from the first drain pipe to the drinking water platform; in response to the stopping of the filtering device, the first drain valve is controlled to be closed.

[0240] In addition, this embodiment also takes into account that if the normal temperature water and high temperature water stored in the drinking water platform are not used for a long time, they will still breed a large number of bacteria. Therefore, the idle time of the water outlet device can be accumulated to facilitate the discharge of high temperature water and normal temperature water that have not been used for a long time.

[0241] Based on the second drain pipe and drain valve of the above-mentioned drinking water platform, as a feasible implementation method, the intelligent control unit 505 is used to accumulate the idle time of the water outlet device; wherein, the idle time is reset each time the second water outlet control module is turned on; in response to the idle time of the water outlet device exceeding the preset time threshold, the second drain valve is controlled to open to discharge high-temperature water and normal-temperature water from the drinking water platform through the second drain pipe; in response to the normal-temperature water tank and the hot-water tank being emptied, the second drain valve is controlled to close.

[0242] The above embodiment reduces the possibility of bacteria breeding in the normal temperature water and high temperature water by regularly discharging the normal temperature water and high temperature water that have not been used for a long time.
