Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water intake control, and in particular to a water intake control method, device, water purification equipment and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] At present, the water faucets of water purification equipment on the market, such as water purifiers, are mainly mechanical faucets and electric faucets. Among them, the electric faucets are small in size, beautiful in appearance, and have various functions such as quantitative water intake, classified water intake, child lock, TDS (Total Dissolved Solids, the total amount of dissolved solids in water) display, etc. Users can directly operate the faucet button interface to control the water output. Combined with convenient operation and efficient water resource utilization, they are widely welcomed by users.

[0003] With the continuous development of technology, in order to meet the different water needs of users for domestic water and drinking water, dual-outlet water purification equipment came into being. Specifically, dual-outlet water purification equipment is a water purification equipment with two faucet outlets, one of which produces purified water (also called domestic water), which is suitable for washing vegetables and rice, but cannot be drunk directly; the other faucet produces pure water (also called drinking water), which can be drunk directly.

[0004] However, since the dual-outlet water purification equipment's domestic water and drinking water structure is designed to share a water outlet, that is, this type of equipment has a short section of shared pipe at the water outlet, in actual applications, when the user has finished drawing water, due to the effect of atmospheric pressure, some water will remain in the cavity of the shared pipe, and this part of water will be taken out the next time water is drawn. If domestic water was drawn last time, there will be a water mixing problem when drinking water is drawn next time, which will affect the water quality of the drinking water.

[0005] In summary, due to limitations of volume and appearance, existing dual-outlet water purification equipment can easily cause users to encounter mixed water during the water collection process. Especially for drinking water, mixing with domestic water will directly affect the taste and quality of the water, greatly reducing the user experience. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a water intake control method, device, water purification equipment and storage medium to solve the problem that the water quality of drinking water in the existing dual-outlet water purification equipment is affected due to water mixing, thereby reducing the taste and quality of drinking water and making it difficult to meet user needs.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a water intake control method, which is applied to a water purification device, wherein the water purification device is a dual-outlet water purification device, and the method comprises:

[0008] Detect the current water intake mode of the target water purification equipment, which includes a domestic water mode and a drinking water mode;

[0009] When the current water intake mode is the domestic water mode, the target water intake of the target water purification device is obtained, the target water purification device is controlled to perform a domestic water intake operation based on the target water intake, and the current water intake of the target water purification device is obtained;

[0010] Subtract the target water intake from the current water intake to obtain the current remaining water volume;

[0011] The mode switching time is determined based on the current remaining water volume, and the target water purification device is controlled to switch to the drinking water mode based on the mode switching time to perform the drinking water extraction operation.

[0012] The water intake control method provided by the present invention, when it is detected that the current water intake mode of the target water purification device is the domestic water use mode, obtains the target water intake volume of the target water purification device and controls the target water purification device to perform a water intake operation for domestic water based on the target water intake volume, determines the mode switching time by calculating the current remaining water volume in real time, and when the mode switching time is met, controls the target water purification device to switch to the drinking water mode and then performs a drinking water intake operation, which can avoid water mixing when the user takes drinking water after taking domestic water, ensures that the water retained in the shared pipeline of the water purification device is drinking water, not only realizes the intelligent adjustment of the water intake mode, but also ensures the water intake quality, thereby greatly improving the user experience.

[0013] In an optional implementation, obtaining a target water intake and a current water intake of a target water purification device includes:

[0014] In response to the user's water intake setting operation on the target water purification device, a corresponding water intake amount is generated, and the water intake amount is determined as a target water intake amount;

[0015] The corresponding amount of water taken is calculated based on the model of the target water purification equipment, and the amount of water taken is determined as the current amount of water taken.

[0016] The present invention obtains the set target water intake through user needs and calculates the corresponding water intake according to the model of the target water purification equipment, which can not only meet the user's water demand, but also ensure the calculation accuracy of the current water intake based on the current water intake of the equipment calculated by different models, which helps to improve the accuracy and efficiency of subsequent water intake control.

[0017] In an optional implementation, the corresponding amount of water taken is calculated based on the model of the target water purification equipment, including:

[0018] When the target water purification device is performing a water intake operation for domestic water, the total number of pulses is obtained through a flow meter installed on the target water purification device;

[0019] Based on the total number of pulses, the corresponding flow is matched from a first preset relationship, and the flow is determined as the amount of water taken. The first preset relationship is a mapping relationship between different numbers of pulses and their corresponding flow rates.

[0020] For models with flow meters, the present invention calculates the current water intake by recording the total number of pulses of the target water purification equipment when performing water intake operations for domestic water, and combines the mapping relationship between different numbers of pulses and their corresponding flow rates to ensure the calculation accuracy of the current water intake, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent water intake control.

[0021] In an optional implementation, the corresponding amount of water taken is calculated based on the model of the target water purification equipment, including:

[0022] When the target water purification equipment is performing water extraction operation for domestic water, the water pump operation time of the target water purification equipment is obtained, the corresponding water volume is matched from the second preset relationship based on the water pump operation time, and the water volume is determined as the water volume extracted. The second preset relationship is a mapping relationship between different operation times and their corresponding water volumes.

[0023] For models without flow meters, the present invention calculates the current water intake by recording the water pump operating time of the target water purification equipment when performing water intake operations for domestic water, and combines the mapping relationship between different operating times and their corresponding water volumes. This can ensure the calculation accuracy of the current water intake and greatly improve the accuracy and efficiency of subsequent water intake control.

[0024] In an optional implementation, determining the mode switching time based on the current remaining water volume includes:

[0025] Determine whether the current remaining water volume reaches the preset water volume threshold;

[0026] If the current remaining water volume reaches the preset water volume threshold, the current operating time of the target water purification device is recorded accordingly, and the current operating time is determined as the mode switching time.

[0027] The present invention determines the mode switching time by the relationship between the current remaining water volume and the preset water volume threshold, so as to obtain accurate mode switching time, and thereby realizes automatic switching from taking domestic water to taking drinking water, so that users do not need to worry about the impact of water quality when taking different types of water, and can obtain clear drinking water, which not only ensures the taste and quality of drinking water, but also meets the water needs of users.

[0028] In an optional implementation, the water intake control method further includes:

[0029] If the current remaining water volume does not reach the preset water volume threshold, the process returns to the step of determining whether the current remaining water volume reaches the preset water volume threshold.

[0030] When the current remaining water volume has not reached the preset water volume threshold, the present invention determines that the water intake operation at this time has not yet met the mode switching condition and needs to continue to run the current water intake mode. This can ensure the calculation accuracy of the mode switching time, achieve effective water intake mode adjustment, and further enhance the user experience.

[0031] In an optional implementation, the water intake control method further includes:

[0032] When the current water intake mode is the drinking water mode, the target water intake volume set by the user is obtained, and the target water purification device is controlled to perform the drinking water intake operation based on the target water intake volume.

[0033] When the current water intake mode of the present invention is the drinking water mode, there is no need to consider the mixing of water when the user takes drinking water after taking domestic water. The target water intake volume set by the user is used to control the target water purification equipment to perform the drinking water intake operation, which can speed up the water intake control process and meet the user's efficient water intake needs.

[0034] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a water intake control device, which is applied to a water purification device, wherein the water purification device is a dual-outlet water purification device, and the device comprises:

[0035] A detection module, used to detect the current water intake mode of the target water purification equipment, the current water intake mode includes a domestic water mode and a drinking water mode;

[0036] An acquisition module, used to acquire the target water intake of the target water purification equipment when the current water intake mode is the domestic water mode, control the target water purification equipment to perform the domestic water intake operation based on the target water intake, and acquire the current water intake of the target water purification equipment;

[0037] A calculation module is used to subtract the target water intake from the current water intake to obtain the current remaining water volume;

[0038] The control module is used to determine the mode switching time based on the current remaining water volume, and control the target water purification equipment to switch to the drinking water mode based on the mode switching time to perform the drinking water extraction operation.

[0039] The water intake control device provided by the present invention detects the current water intake mode of the target water purification equipment, and when it is detected that the current water intake mode is the domestic water use mode, obtains the target water intake volume of the target water purification equipment and performs the domestic water intake operation based thereon; during the domestic water intake process, the mode switching time is determined by real-time calculation of the current remaining water volume, and when the mode switching time is reached, the target water purification equipment is controlled to switch to the drinking water mode and then continue the drinking water intake operation, which can overcome the problem of mixed water when the user takes drinking water after taking domestic water, realizes the intelligent adjustment of the water intake mode, ensures the taste and quality of the water, and improves the user experience.

[0049] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. 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 those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a water intake control method is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0051] In this embodiment, a water intake control method is provided, which is applied to a water purification device, wherein the water purification device is a dual-outlet water purification device. Figure 1 is a flow chart of a water intake control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0052] Step S101, detecting the current water intake mode of the target water purification equipment, where the current water intake mode includes a domestic water mode and a drinking water mode.

[0053] It should be noted that the specific type of the target water purification equipment in this embodiment is not limited here, and it can be adaptively adjusted based on actual needs. For example, a water purifier with a dual-outlet electric-controlled faucet provides different types of water sources through different electric-controlled faucets, such as purified water that retains minerals and is suitable for washing vegetables and rice, and pure water that is filtered and removed of bacteria and microorganisms and can be directly drunk, which is only an exemplary description.

[0054] Step S102, when the current water intake mode is the domestic water mode, obtain the target water intake of the target water purification equipment, control the target water purification equipment to perform domestic water intake operation based on the target water intake, and obtain the current water intake of the target water purification equipment.

[0055] In this embodiment, the target water intake is the water intake set based on the user's water demand, and its specific acquisition method can be adaptively adjusted based on the actual device type. For example, for a water purifier with different water intake gears, its water intake gear may include water volumes such as 300ML, 500ML and 1L, and the user can select the corresponding water intake gear to set his water demand, which is only an exemplary description.

[0056] Step S103, subtract the target water intake from the current water intake to obtain the current remaining water volume.

[0057] It should be noted that the current water intake in this embodiment represents the real-time water intake of the user for domestic water at the current moment; the current remaining water volume represents the real-time remaining water volume of the user for domestic water at the current moment, and the subsequent water intake mode switching time can be determined based on it to achieve accurate drinking water mode switching.

[0058] Step S104, determining the mode switching time based on the current remaining water volume, and controlling the target water purification equipment to switch to the drinking water mode based on the mode switching time to perform a drinking water intake operation.

[0059] In this embodiment, the determination of the mode switching time needs to ensure that the current remaining water volume is greater than or equal to the common pipeline volume of the target water purification equipment, that is, the common pipeline size of the dual-outlet water purifier. It should be noted that the common pipeline size of the dual-outlet water purifier is a fixed value, and its numerical value is set based on the product structure design of the water purifier.

[0060] The water intake control method of the embodiment of the present invention, when it is detected that the current water intake mode of the target water purification equipment is the domestic water use mode, obtains the target water intake volume of the target water purification equipment and controls the target water purification equipment to perform the domestic water intake operation based on the target water intake volume, determines the mode switching time by calculating the current remaining water volume in real time, and when the mode switching time is met, controls the target water purification equipment to switch to the drinking water mode and then perform the drinking water intake operation, which can avoid water mixing when the user takes domestic water and then drinking water, ensures that the water retained in the shared pipeline of the water purification equipment is drinking water, not only realizes the intelligent adjustment of the water intake mode, but also ensures the water intake quality, thereby greatly improving the user experience.

[0061] In this embodiment, a water intake control method is provided, which is applied to a water purification device, wherein the water purification device is a dual-outlet water purification device. Figure 2 is a flow chart of another water intake control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0062] Step S201, detect the current water intake mode of the target water purification equipment, the current water intake mode includes domestic water mode and drinking water mode. Figure 1 Step S101 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0063] Step S202, when the current water intake mode is the domestic water mode, obtain the target water intake of the target water purification equipment, control the target water purification equipment to perform domestic water intake operation based on the target water intake, and obtain the current water intake of the target water purification equipment.

[0064] Specifically, the target water intake and current water intake of the target water purification equipment are obtained in the above step S202, including:

[0065] Step S2021, in response to the user's water intake setting operation on the target water purification device, a corresponding water intake amount is generated, and the water intake amount is determined as the target water intake amount.

[0066] It should be noted that the specific method of the user's water intake setting operation for the target water purification device in this embodiment is not limited here, and is adjusted based on the actual product structure adaptability. For example, for a water purifier with different water intake gears, the user can select the corresponding water intake gear to set its water demand; for a water purifier with a water intake key / button / switch, the user can determine the corresponding water volume by pressing / closing the key / button / switch, which is only an exemplary description.

[0067] Step S2022, calculating the corresponding amount of water taken based on the model of the target water purification equipment, and determining the amount of water taken as the current amount of water taken.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present invention, the set target water intake is obtained through user needs, and the corresponding water intake is calculated based on the model of the target water purification equipment. This can not only meet the user's water demand, but also ensure the calculation accuracy of the current water intake based on the current water intake of the equipment calculated based on different models, which helps to improve the accuracy and efficiency of subsequent water intake control.

[0069] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the model of the target water purification equipment includes a model with a flow meter and a model without a flow meter. If the model of the target water purification equipment is a model with a flow meter, the above step S2022 calculates the corresponding amount of water taken based on the model of the target water purification equipment, including:

[0070] Step a1, when the target water purification equipment is performing a water intake operation for domestic water, the total number of pulses is obtained through a flow meter installed on the target water purification equipment.

[0071] Step a2, matching the corresponding flow rate from a first preset relationship based on the total number of pulses, and determining the flow rate as the amount of water taken, the first preset relationship being a mapping relationship between different numbers of pulses and their corresponding flow rates.

[0072] It should be noted that the method for obtaining the total number of pulses of the water intake of the model with a flow meter in this embodiment can be adaptively adjusted according to the water mode of the model, such as the quantitative water intake mode. Specifically, when the model with a flow meter performs quantitative water intake, the total number of pulses can be accumulated by the number of pulses obtained by the flow meter in the water intake state, and the amount of water taken can be confirmed by the mapping relationship between the total number of pulses of the flow meter and the flow rate.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present invention, by recording the total number of pulses of the target water purification equipment when performing water intake operations for domestic water, and combining the mapping relationship between different numbers of pulses and their corresponding flow rates to calculate the current water intake volume, the calculation accuracy of the current water intake volume can be guaranteed, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent water intake control.

[0074] In this embodiment, if the model of the target water purification device is a model without a flow meter, the calculation of the corresponding amount of water taken based on the model of the target water purification device in the above step S2022 includes:

[0075] Step b1, when the target water purification equipment performs water extraction operation for domestic water, obtain the water pump operation time of the target water purification equipment, match the corresponding water volume from the second preset relationship based on the water pump operation time, and determine the water volume as the water volume extracted, the second preset relationship is a mapping relationship between different operation times and their corresponding water volumes.

[0076] In this embodiment, the flow meter-free model can calculate the corresponding water volume by the relationship between the water pump flow and time characteristics. Specifically, it is judged by the time when the water pump is turned on, and the corresponding water volume is confirmed by the linear relationship between the water pump running time and the water volume taken.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present invention, by recording the water pump operation time of the target water purification equipment when performing water intake operation for domestic water, and combining the mapping relationship between different operation times and their corresponding water volumes to calculate the current water intake volume, the calculation accuracy of the current water intake volume can be guaranteed, thereby greatly improving the accuracy and efficiency of subsequent water intake control.

[0078] Step S203: Subtract the target water intake from the current water intake to obtain the current remaining water volume. Figure 1 Step S103 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0079] Step S204, determining the mode switching time based on the current remaining water volume, and controlling the target water purification equipment to switch to the drinking water mode based on the mode switching time to perform a drinking water intake operation.

[0080] Specifically, the above step S204 includes:

[0081] Step S2041, determining whether the current remaining water volume reaches a preset water volume threshold.

[0082] In this embodiment, the specific value of the preset water volume threshold is adaptively adjusted based on actual demand, such as the preset water volume threshold of 20ML, which is only used as an exemplary illustration.

[0083] It should be noted that, according to the accuracy requirements of the actual project for the machine model, the preset water volume threshold in this embodiment can be the volume of the shared pipeline of the dual-outlet water purification equipment; or the sum of the shared pipeline volume of the dual-outlet water purification equipment and the preset capacity error, wherein the specific value of the preset capacity error can be set adaptively. Specifically, the residual water volume on the shared pipeline of the dual-outlet water purification equipment at the water outlet can be used to determine when the user is about to finish taking water through the relevant flow calculation method when taking domestic water. At this time, the remaining water intake needs to be greater than or equal to the capacity or volume of the shared pipeline to automatically switch the water flow load, turn off the domestic water and turn on the drinking water at the same time, so that the water flow at the end of water taking is drinking water. This ensures that the water retained in the shared pipeline is drinking water, avoiding the problem of mixed water when the user takes domestic water and then takes drinking water, thereby improving the quality and taste of the drinking water.

[0084] Step S2042: If the current remaining water volume reaches the preset water volume threshold, the current operating time of the target water purification device is recorded accordingly, and the current operating time is determined as the mode switching time.

[0085] In this embodiment, the specific method for obtaining the current operating time of the target water purification equipment is not limited here, and can be obtained based on conventional data acquisition methods in the field, such as by installing a timer on the target water purification equipment to obtain the corresponding operating time.

[0086] Step S2043: if the current remaining water volume has not reached the preset water volume threshold, the process returns to the step of determining whether the current remaining water volume has reached the preset water volume threshold.

[0087] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, when the current remaining water volume has not reached the preset water volume threshold, it can be clearly stated that the water extraction operation at this time has not yet met the mode switching conditions, and it is necessary to continue to run the current water extraction mode, that is, to control the target water purification equipment to continue the water extraction operation for domestic water, so as to ensure the calculation accuracy of the mode switching time, realize effective water extraction mode adjustment, and enhance the user experience.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present invention, the mode switching time is determined by the relationship between the current remaining water volume and the preset water volume threshold, so that accurate mode switching time can be obtained, and thereby automatic switching to drinking water when taking domestic water is achieved, so that users do not need to worry about the impact of water quality when taking different types of water, and can obtain clear drinking water, thereby ensuring the taste and quality of drinking water and meeting the water needs of users.

[0089] It should be noted that the calculation method of the water volume in this embodiment can also be set based on the water intake accuracy of the actual model and the adaptability of the type of collection equipment installed. Specifically, for models with high water intake accuracy, such as models equipped with high-precision flow meters, the amount of water can be accurately determined, and the remaining water intake is switched when the volume of the shared pipeline is equal to the volume of the shared pipeline. For models with lower accuracy, the water intake flow rate can be judged by using the linear relationship between the water pump start time and the flow rate; since there must be errors in the water intake accuracy during the actual operation of the equipment, the switching timing can be adaptively judged according to the maximum error limit obtained in the test, and an error margin can be left when the mode is switched to ensure that the shared pipeline is drinking water when the water intake is completed. For models with high sensitivity to water pump flow control and start-stop control, the user's key command to stop taking domestic water can be used as the switching timing. After stopping water intake, the pump is not immediately shut down and the water is stopped. This switching logic is executed before stopping. When the shared pipeline volume of the model is small, the delay time for shutting off the water is short, and the user will not perceive the problem of delayed shutting off the water. It should be noted that this judgment method has a delayed water shut-off design. The models that adopt this method must meet the characteristics of sensitive water pump control and small shared pipeline volume. In addition, when shutting off the water or taking water, the water pressure of the pipeline of the target water purification equipment is different, which can also be used to judge the timing of ending water taking. The above content is only for illustrative purposes and is not limited to this.

[0090] In actual applications, when the current water intake mode is the drinking water mode, there is no need to consider the mixed water situation when the user takes drinking water after taking domestic water. It is only necessary to control the target water purification equipment to perform the drinking water intake operation according to the target water intake volume set by the user. Therefore, when the current water intake mode is the drinking water mode, the water intake control method of this embodiment also includes: when the current water intake mode is the drinking water mode, obtaining the target water intake volume set by the user, and controlling the target water purification equipment to perform the drinking water intake operation based on the target water intake volume. Specifically, this type of water intake control method can speed up the water intake process and greatly meet the user's demand for efficient water intake.

[0091] In a specific embodiment, a dynamic water intake adjustment scheme is proposed for a dual-outlet faucet with a quantitative water intake function. Figure 3 This is a flow chart of quantitative water intake control. Figure 3 It can be seen that the process of quantitative water intake control includes:

[0092] 1. Start collecting water.

[0093] 2. Determine whether to use domestic water.

[0094] In this embodiment, if the user takes drinking water, the water taking logic is executed normally, the drinking water function load is turned on, and it is closed normally after the selected amount of water is taken, and drinking water remains in the water outlet.

[0095] In this embodiment, if the user takes domestic water, the remaining drinking water required is determined according to the volume of the common pipeline of the water outlet of the model, such as n milliliters, that is, the remaining water intake is n milliliters, and then the time node for the functional load switching is set according to the water flow rate and the water intake. Specifically, when the water intake amount minus the water intake amount = the volume of the common pipeline, it is judged that the water intake is about to be completed, and the drinking water functional load is turned on, so that when the water intake is completed, the domestic water in the cavity of the water outlet, that is, in the common pipeline, is replaced by drinking water.

[0096] In a specific embodiment, when a machine with a quantitative water intake function is used, there is a 30ML shared water outlet space (i.e., a shared pipeline) at the tap water outlet. The flow rate when the machine is taking water is 1L / Min, and the user takes 500ML of domestic water (i.e., the target water intake). Specifically, when starting to take water, the domestic water function load (i.e., domestic water mode) is first executed to flow out domestic water. When the water is taken for 28 seconds, 467ML of domestic water has been taken. Then the drinking water load is turned on for 2 seconds, and 33ML of drinking water flows out to completely discharge the domestic water in the shared pipeline, so that all the remaining water in the shared pipeline is drinking water. The above-mentioned water intake control method can ensure that the next time water is taken, there will be no mixing of water when taking drinking water due to the residual domestic water in the shared pipeline.

[0097] In summary, after the double-outlet faucet applies the water extraction control method of the embodiment of the present invention, it can automatically switch to the drinking water extraction mode when extracting domestic water, that is, switch to the drinking water extraction mode in advance when the domestic water extraction is completed. It only needs to ensure that the timing of the advance switching is correct to ensure that the residue in the shared pipeline is all drinking water, so that the user does not need to worry about the water quality being affected when extracting different types of water. Water extraction is more intelligent, ensuring the quality of water extraction and improving the user's water extraction experience.

[0098] In this embodiment, a water intake control device is also provided, which is used to implement the above-mentioned embodiments and preferred implementation modes, and the descriptions that have been made will not be repeated. As the term "module" is used below, it can implement a combination of software and / or hardware of a predetermined function. Although the devices described in the following embodiments are preferably implemented in software, the implementation of hardware, or a combination of software and hardware, is also possible and conceivable.

[0099] The present invention provides a water intake control device, which is applied to a water purification device, wherein the water purification device is a double-outlet water purification device, such as Figure 4 As shown, the device comprises:

[0100] The detection module 401 is used to detect the current water intake mode of the target water purification equipment, and the current water intake mode includes a domestic water mode and a drinking water mode.

[0101] The acquisition module 402 is used to acquire the target water intake of the target water purification equipment when the current water intake mode is the domestic water mode, control the target water purification equipment to perform domestic water intake operation based on the target water intake, and acquire the current water intake of the target water purification equipment.
