[0003] Chinese invention patent application CN117045120A discloses a boiled water dispenser, comprising a first heat exchanger, a heating water tank, a water outlet pump and a boiled water control valve, wherein the first heat exchanger comprises a cold water inlet, a hot water outlet, a boiling water inlet and a boiled water outlet, the boiling water inlet and the hot water outlet are respectively connected to the heating water tank, the water outlet pump is connected between the boiled water outlet and the boiled water control valve, the heating water tank is connected to the atmosphere, and is characterized in that: it also comprises a storage water tank, a first water inlet pump and a control module, the first water inlet pump is connected between the cold water inlet and the storage water tank, the first water inlet pump, the water outlet pump and the boiled water control valve are respectively electrically connected to the control module, the control module controls the operation of the boiled water control valve, the water outlet pump and the first water inlet pump, and the water inlet flow rate Q1 of the first water inlet pump is less than or equal to the water outlet flow rate Q2 of the water outlet pump; this boiled water dispenser, through A storage water tank and its first water inlet pump are added.

Although the low-temperature container 1 can avoid the problem of the temperature of warm water deviating from the set temperature due to the unstable pressure of tap water, the low-temperature container 1 will occupy a large space, resulting in a larger volume and higher cost of the drinking water equipment using it. In addition, the low-temperature container 1 will also result in higher costs. Therefore, under the premise of directly connecting the drinking water equipment to the tap water without setting the low-temperature container 1, it is a technical problem to be solved to be able to quickly and accurately output warm water of the set temperature T. Summary of the invention

[0005] An object of the present invention is to solve or alleviate the above technical problems.

[0006] The means adopted by the present invention is a control method for an automatic temperature regulating device of a drinking water device, wherein the drinking water device comprises a low-temperature water inlet pipe, a heating container, a heat exchange device, a warm water outlet pipe, a temperature sensor and an electronic control device; the heating container is provided with a heating container water inlet pipe, a high-temperature water outlet pipe and a heating device; the low-temperature water inlet pipe, the heat exchange device and the heating container water inlet pipe are connected in sequence, and the high-temperature water outlet pipe, the heat exchange device and the warm water outlet pipe are connected in sequence; the low-temperature water inlet pipe is used for tap water connection; an electric valve and a water source flow meter are provided on the low-temperature water inlet pipe; a warm water delivery device and a warm water flow meter are provided on the warm water outlet pipe; and a warm water valve; the temperature sensor comprises a heating temperature probe arranged in the heating container and a warm water temperature probe arranged on the warm water outlet pipe; the electric valve, the heating temperature probe, the warm water temperature probe, the water source flow meter, the warm water delivery device and the warm water flow meter are electrically connected to the electronic control device respectively;

[0007] The control method of the automatic temperature regulating device of the drinking water equipment comprises the following steps:

[0008] Turning on the drinking water device;

[0009] When the warm water valve is opened, the actual opening degree B of the electric valve controlled by the electronic control device is 1.

[0010] The water flow rate flowing through the low-temperature water inlet pipe measured by the water source flow meter is the low-temperature water flow rate q1; the water flow rate flowing through the warm water outlet pipe measured by the warm water flow meter is the warm water flow rate q2; the ratio of the low-temperature water flow rate q1 to the warm water flow rate q2 is the inlet-outlet water ratio A; the parameter corresponding to the inlet-outlet water ratio A, input into the electronic control device and stored is the inlet-outlet water ratio threshold value A1;

[0011] The electronic control device controls the actual opening degree B to decrease from value 1 at a speed of the electric valve adjustment interval M multiplied by the electric valve adjustment unit N, until the water inlet and outlet ratio A is between value 1 and the water inlet and outlet ratio threshold value A1, the electronic control device 8 records the actual opening degree B at this time and assigns it to the self-stored opening degree KM;

[0012] The step of rapid mixing is specifically that the electronic control device measures the actual temperature t of the warm water at each temperature measurement time interval S, and compares the absolute value of the difference between the actual temperature t of the warm water and the target temperature T of the warm water with the temperature difference threshold C;

[0013] If the absolute value of the difference between the actual measured temperature t of the warm water and the target temperature T of the warm water is less than or equal to the temperature difference threshold C, the absolute value of the difference between the actual measured temperature t of the warm water and the target temperature T of the warm water is repeatedly compared with the temperature difference threshold C, so that the absolute value of the difference between the actual measured temperature t of the warm water and the target temperature T of the warm water is compared with the temperature difference threshold C to enter the next step of the self-circulation step without entering the step of rapid mixing;

[0014] If the absolute value of the difference between the actual measured warm water temperature t and the target warm water temperature T is greater than the temperature difference threshold C, the next actual opening degree B is adjusted according to the actual measured warm water temperature t. The next actual opening degree B is equal to the actual opening degree B of this time minus the absolute value of the actual opening degree B of the previous time, multiplied by the difference between the target warm water temperature T and the actual measured warm water temperature t of this time, and then divided by the value obtained by subtracting the absolute value of the actual measured warm water temperature t of this time from the actual measured warm water temperature t of the previous time, and then subtracted by the actual opening degree B of this time.

[0015] The effect achieved by the present invention is that, under the premise that the low-temperature water inlet pipe is directly connected to tap water and no buffer container is provided, warm boiled water of a set temperature T can be output quickly and accurately.

[0016] A further technical solution is, after waiting for n temperature measurement time intervals S, if the absolute value of the difference between the last measured temperature t of warm water in the step of rapid mixing and the target temperature T of warm water is greater than a temperature difference threshold C, the last actual opening degree B of the step of rapid mixing is compared with the self-stored opening degree KM;

[0017] If the actual opening degree B is less than the self-stored opening degree KM, then return to the rapid mixing step;

[0018] If the actual opening degree B is greater than or equal to the self-storage opening degree KM, the electronic control device 8 adjusts the actual opening degree B to the self-storage opening degree KM, and the water inlet and outlet ratio A is between the value 1 and the water inlet and outlet ratio threshold value A1, then the step of returning to rapid mixing is returned; if the water inlet and outlet ratio A is outside the interval between the value 1 and the water inlet and outlet ratio threshold value A1, then the step of turning on the drinking water equipment is returned.

[0019] It can realize self-checking and improve the reliability of drinking water equipment operation.

[0020] A further technical solution is as follows: if the actual opening degree B is equal to 1, and if the water inlet and outlet ratio A is between the value 1 and the water inlet and outlet ratio threshold value A1, then the process returns to the step of rapid mixing; and if the water inlet and outlet ratio A is greater than the value 1, then the process returns to the step of turning on the drinking water device; and if the water inlet and outlet ratio A is less than the water inlet and outlet ratio threshold value A1, then the entire process is terminated.

[0021] It can realize self-checking and improve the reliability of drinking water equipment operation.

[0022] According to a further technical solution, a pressure-stabilizing valve is also provided on the warm water outlet pipe.

[0023] To reduce the pressure fluctuation of tap water.

[0024] The means adopted by the present invention is an automatic temperature regulating device for drinking water equipment, and uses the above-mentioned automatic temperature regulating device control method for drinking water equipment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] As a specific embodiment, the drinking water equipment automatic temperature control method of the embodiment of the present invention, the drinking water equipment includes a low-temperature water inlet pipe 1, a heating container 2, a heat exchange device 3, a warm water outlet pipe 4, a temperature sensor 5 and an electronic control device 8. The electronic control device 8 is an electronic control device with a computing function, such as a circuit board provided with an MCU and a touch screen.

[0029] The heating container 2 is provided with a heating container water inlet pipe 21, a high temperature water outlet pipe 22 and a heating device 23. The heating device 23 is an electric heating pipe, etc., for heating the water in the heating container 2.

[0030] Usually, the heating container 2 is provided with a boiling water pipe 29; the boiling water pipe 29 is provided with a boiling water valve 291. The boiling water in the heating container 2 can be directly output through the boiling water pipe 29 by opening the boiling water valve 291. It should be noted that the boiling water in this patent refers to water close to or equal to 100°C, rather than just water reaching the boiling point in the physical sense, such as water greater than or equal to 95°C and close to 100°C, where the 95°C can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0031] Typically, a heating water level sensor 24 electrically connected to the electronic control device 8 is provided in the heating container 2; the heating water level sensor 24 includes one or more of a low-level sensor 241 for detecting the lowest water level in the heating container 2, a high-level sensor 242 for detecting the highest water level in the heating container 2, and a limit sensor 249 for detecting the limit water level in the heating container 2, so as to improve safety and / or equipment reliability.

[0032] The low-temperature water inlet pipe 1, the heat exchange device 3, and the heating container water inlet pipe 21 are connected in sequence, and the high-temperature water outlet pipe 22, the heat exchange device 3, and the warm water outlet pipe 4 are connected in sequence. It is easy to understand that the heat exchange device 3 is a conventional heat exchange device in the prior art, which usually includes a heat exchange outer layer and a heat exchange inner layer. The heating container water inlet pipe 21 is connected to one of the heat exchange outer layer and the heat exchange inner layer of the heat exchange device 3, and the high-temperature water outlet pipe 22 is connected to the other of the heat exchange outer layer and the heat exchange inner layer of the heat exchange device 3, so that the low-temperature water inlet pipe 1, the heat exchange device 3, and the heating container water inlet pipe 21 are connected in sequence, and the high-temperature water outlet pipe 22, the heat exchange device 3, and the warm water outlet pipe 4 are connected in sequence.

[0033] The low-temperature water inlet pipe 1 is used for connecting with tap water. It is easy to understand that the two ends of the low-temperature water inlet pipe 1 are connected with the heat exchange device 3 and the tap water respectively.

[0034] The low-temperature water inlet pipe 1 is provided with an electric valve 11 and a water source flow meter 12. The electric valve 11 is a conventional electric valve, which is driven by a servo motor or the like to realize closed-loop control, so that its opening degree can be set.

[0035] The warm water outlet pipe 4 is provided with a warm water delivery device 41, a warm water flow meter 42, and a warm water valve 43. The warm water delivery device 41 is a conventional water pump or the like.

[0036] The temperature sensor 5 includes a heating temperature probe 52 disposed in the heating container 2 and a warm water temperature probe 54 disposed on the warm water outlet pipe 4. It is easy to understand that the heating temperature probe 52 is used to measure the water temperature in the heating container 2, and the warm water temperature probe 54 measures the temperature of the warm water flowing through the warm water outlet pipe 4.

[0037] The electric valve 11 , the heating temperature probe 52 , the warm water temperature probe 54 , the water source flow meter 12 , the warm water delivery device 41 , and the warm water flow meter 42 are electrically connected to the electronic control device 8 , respectively.

[0038] The warm water delivery device 41 and the warm water valve 43 are opened (the warm water valve 43 can be a manual valve opened manually, or an electric valve opened by the electric control device 8); the boiled water in the heating container 2 flows into the heat exchange device 3 through the high-temperature outlet pipe 22; at the same time, the electric valve 11 opens the tap water (i.e., low-temperature water) and flows into the heating container 2 through the low-temperature inlet pipe 1, the heat exchange device 3, and the heating container inlet pipe 21 in sequence, replenishing the water in the heating container 2. In this process, the low-temperature water and the boiled water exchange heat in the heat exchange device 3, so that the low-temperature water is heated by the boiled water and is more energy-saving, and the boiled water is cooled by the low-temperature water into warm water.

[0039] For the convenience of explanation, the following parameters are defined in the above process.

[0040] The water flow rate flowing through the low-temperature water inlet pipe 1 measured by the water source flow meter 12 is the low-temperature water flow rate q1; the water flow rate flowing through the warm water outlet pipe 4 measured by the warm water flow meter 42 is the warm water flow rate q2; the ratio of the low-temperature water flow rate q1 to the warm water flow rate q2 (i.e., the low-temperature water flow rate q1 divided by the warm water flow rate q2) is the water inlet and outlet ratio A; the parameter corresponding to the water inlet and outlet ratio A, which is input into the electronic control device 8 and stored, is the water inlet and outlet ratio threshold value A1. It is easy to understand that the warm water flow rate q2 is determined by the warm water delivery device 41. For example, the electronic control device 8 controls the speed of the warm water delivery device 41 to control the warm water flow rate q2. When the speed of the warm water delivery device 41 is constant, the warm water flow rate q2 is also constant.

[0041] The water temperature of the warm water outlet pipe 4 measured by the warm water temperature probe 54 is the warm water actual measured temperature t.

[0042] The opening percentage of the electric valve 11 fed back by the electric valve 11 to the electronic control device 8 is the actual opening degree B; it is easy to understand that the electric valve 11 is fully opened (ie 100% open) and has a value of 1, and the electric valve 11 is fully closed (ie 00% open) and has a value of 0.

[0043] The parameters desired by the user and input into the electronic control device 8 and stored through the touch screen or the like are the warm water target temperature T, and the minimum value of the absolute value of the difference between the warm water measured temperature t and the warm water target temperature T is the temperature difference threshold value C;

[0044] The time between two adjacent measured temperatures t of the warm water is obtained by the electronic control device 8 as the temperature measurement time interval S.

[0045] The time interval for the electronic control device 8 to control and adjust the actual opening degree B is the electric valve adjustment interval M, and the minimum unit for adjusting the actual opening degree B each time is the electric valve adjustment unit N (for example, the electric valve adjustment unit N is 5%); it is easy to understand that the electric valve 11 has a servo closed-loop function, so the opening degree of the electric valve 11 read by the electronic control device 8 is equal to the actual physical opening degree B of the electric valve 11.

[0046] The parameters input into and stored in the electronic control device 8 also include the self-storage opening degree KM and the rapid temperature adjustment opening degree K. These two parameters will be described simultaneously when the control method of the automatic temperature adjustment device for drinking water equipment is described in detail.

[0047] A method for controlling an automatic temperature regulating device for a drinking water device comprises the following steps:

[0048] Turn on the drinking water device; for example, turn on the power switch of the drinking water device.

[0049] When the warm water valve 43 is opened, the electronic control device 8 controls the actual opening degree B of the electric valve 11 to be a value of one. In other words, the electronic control device 8 controls the electric valve 11 to be fully opened.

[0050] The electronic control device 8 controls the actual opening degree B to decrease from the value 1 at the speed of the electric valve adjustment interval M multiplied by the electric valve adjustment unit N (in other words, the self-stored opening degree KM=1-electric valve adjustment interval M*electric valve adjustment unit N) until the water inlet and outlet ratio A is between the value 1 and the water inlet and outlet ratio threshold value A1. The electronic control device 8 records the actual opening degree B at this time and assigns it to the self-stored opening degree KM. For example, the self-stored opening degree KM is assigned to a further technical solution, this time is the nth time (nth is a natural number pre-set in the electronic control device 8 and greater than or equal to 2), and the formula with the number as a subscript is as follows: the actual opening degree B n+1 = Actual opening degree B n -|Actual opening degree B n -Actual opening degree B n-1 |*(Warm water target temperature T-Warm water actual temperature t n ) / | Actual temperature of warm water t n - Actual measured temperature of warm water t n-1For example, this is the second time, and actual opening degree B3 = actual opening degree B2 - |actual opening degree B2 - actual opening degree B1| * (hot water target temperature T - hot water measured temperature t2) / | hot water measured temperature t2 - hot water measured temperature t1|. When the tap water pressure is low, the actual opening degree B will be adjusted accordingly to increase the low-temperature water flow rate q1 accordingly; when the tap water pressure is high, the actual opening degree B will be adjusted accordingly to decrease the low-temperature water flow rate q1 accordingly, but the inlet and outlet water ratio A will be maintained within a certain range; it can eliminate or reduce the situation where the low-temperature water flow rate q1 is small but the warm water flow rate q2 is large, and hotter warm water is output from the warm water outlet pipe 4, or the low-temperature water flow rate q1 is large but the warm water flow rate q2 is small, and colder warm water is output from the warm water outlet pipe 4, thereby achieving the premise that the low-temperature water inlet pipe 1 is directly connected to the tap water and no buffer container (i.e., the low-temperature container 1 in the Chinese invention patent CN118557048B) is set, and warm boiled water of the set temperature T can be output quickly and accurately. It should be noted that if the actual measured warm water temperature t is greater than the target warm water temperature T, the difference between the target warm water temperature T and the actual measured warm water temperature t is a negative number (the negative number is also multiplied by the absolute value of the actual opening degree B this time minus the actual opening degree B last time, and divided by the absolute value of the actual measured warm water temperature t this time minus the actual measured warm water temperature t last time. It can be seen that the negative number is multiplied by the first absolute value and divided by the second absolute value mentioned above to remain a negative number); and the actual opening degree B this time minus the negative number (that is, two negatives equal a positive), which makes the next actual opening degree B larger, thereby improving the heat exchange effect of the heat exchange device 3, and then the actual measured warm water temperature t can quickly approach the target warm water temperature T.

[0051] After waiting for n temperature measurement time intervals S, if the absolute value of the difference between the last measured temperature t of warm water in the step of rapid mixing and the target temperature T of warm water is greater than the temperature difference threshold C, it is easy to understand that if the absolute value of the difference between the last measured temperature t of warm water in the step of rapid mixing and the target temperature T of warm water is greater than the temperature difference threshold C, the self-circulation will be entered in the step of rapid mixing. Compare the last actual opening degree B of the step of rapid mixing with the self-stored opening degree KM;

[0052] If the actual opening degree B is less than the self-stored opening degree KM, the process returns to the rapid mixing step (i.e., the beginning of this step); a self-circulation is achieved and the calculation of the next step is stopped.

[0053] If the actual opening degree B is greater than or equal to the self-stored opening degree KM, the electronic control device 8 adjusts the actual opening degree B to the self-stored opening degree KM, and when the water inlet and outlet ratio A is between the value 1 and the water inlet and outlet ratio threshold value A1, the process returns to the step of rapid mixing, realizes self-circulation and stops the calculation of the next step; if the water inlet and outlet ratio A is outside the range between the value 1 and the water inlet and outlet ratio threshold value A1, the process returns to the step of starting the drinking water device. Self-checking can be realized, and the reliability of the operation of the drinking water device is improved.

[0054] As one of the specific implementations, if the actual opening degree B is equal to 1 (i.e. the electric valve 11 is fully opened), and if the water inlet and outlet ratio A is between the value 1 and the water inlet and outlet ratio threshold value A1, the process returns to the step of rapid mixing, realizes self-circulation and stops the calculation of the next step; and if the water inlet and outlet ratio A is greater than the value 1, the process returns to the step of turning on the drinking water device; and if the water inlet and outlet ratio A is less than the water inlet and outlet ratio threshold value A1, the whole process is terminated; it is easy to understand that when the water inlet and outlet ratio A is less than the water inlet and outlet ratio threshold value A1, it means that the tap water is cut off. It can realize self-checking and improve the reliability of the operation of the drinking water device.

[0055] As one of the specific implementations, a pressure stabilizing valve 13 is also provided on the warm water outlet pipe 4 to reduce the pressure variation of the tap water.

The water flow rate flowing through the low-temperature water inlet pipe (1) measured by the water source flow meter (12) is the low-temperature water flow rate q1; the water flow rate flowing through the warm water outlet pipe (4) measured by the warm water flow meter (42) is the warm water flow rate q2; the ratio of the low-temperature water flow rate q1 to the warm water flow rate q2 is the water inlet and outlet ratio A; the parameter corresponding to the water inlet and outlet ratio A, input into the electronic control device (8) and stored is the water inlet and outlet ratio threshold value A1; The electronic control device (8) controls the actual opening degree B to decrease from the value 1 at a speed of the electric valve adjustment interval M multiplied by the electric valve adjustment unit N until the water inlet and outlet ratio A is between the value 1 and the water inlet and outlet ratio threshold value A1, and the electronic control device (8) records the actual opening degree B at this time and assigns it to the self-stored opening degree KM; The step of rapid mixing is specifically that the electronic control device (8) measures the actual temperature t of the warm water at each temperature measurement time interval S, and compares the absolute value of the difference between the actual temperature t of the warm water and the target temperature T of the warm water with a temperature difference threshold C; If the absolute value of the difference between the actual measured temperature t of the warm water and the target temperature T of the warm water is less than or equal to the temperature difference threshold C, the absolute value of the difference between the actual measured temperature t of the warm water and the target temperature T of the warm water is repeatedly compared with the temperature difference threshold C, so that the absolute value of the difference between the actual measured temperature t of the warm water and the target temperature T of the warm water is compared with the temperature difference threshold C to enter a self-circulation; If the absolute value of the difference between the actual measured temperature t of the warm water and the target temperature T of the warm water is greater than the temperature difference threshold C, the way to adjust the next actual opening degree B according to the actual measured temperature t of the warm water this time is that the next actual opening degree B is equal to the actual opening degree B of this time minus the absolute value of the actual opening degree B of the previous time, multiplied by the difference obtained by subtracting the actual measured temperature t of the warm water from the target temperature T of the warm water this time, and then divided by the value obtained by subtracting the absolute value of the actual measured temperature t of the warm water this time from the absolute value of the actual measured temperature t of the previous time, and then subtracted by the actual opening degree B of this time; After waiting for n temperature measurement time intervals S, if the absolute value of the difference between the last measured warm water temperature t in the rapid mixing step and the warm water target temperature T is greater than the temperature difference threshold C, the last actual opening degree B in the rapid mixing step is compared with the self-stored opening degree KM; If the actual opening degree B at this time is less than the self-stored opening degree KM, then return to the step of rapid mixing; If the actual opening degree B at this time is greater than or equal to the self-stored opening degree KM, the electronic control device (8) adjusts the actual opening degree B to the self-stored opening degree KM, and the water inlet and outlet ratio A is within the interval between the value 1 and the water inlet and outlet ratio threshold value A1, then the process returns to the step of rapid mixing; if the water inlet and outlet ratio A is outside the interval between the value 1 and the water inlet and outlet ratio threshold value A1, then the process returns to the step of starting the drinking water device.
