[0055] According to the embodiment of the present invention, please combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a control method for a water supply device is proposed, wherein the water supply device 1 includes a first water tank 20 for storing pure water and a ready-to-drink system and a brewing system respectively connected to the first water tank 20, and the pure water in the first water tank 20 can be transported to the ready-to-drink system and the brewing system, and supplied to the user through the ready-to-drink system and the brewing system. The water supply device 1 also includes a display control device 90, which is electrically connected to the ready-to-drink system and the brewing system respectively, and the display control device 90 can also interact with the user, receive the user's control instructions through the display control device 90, and control the operation of the ready-to-drink system and the brewing system. Figure 4 As shown, the control method of the water supply equipment includes the following steps:

[0056] Step S101: obtaining a start signal;

[0057] Step S102: starting the instant-drinking system according to the start signal being an instant-drinking start signal, and controlling the instant-drinking system to run according to a preset instant-drinking program;

[0058] Step S103: starting the brewing system according to the start signal being a brewing start signal, and controlling the brewing system to run according to a preset brewing program.

[0059] In step S101, the start signal is the source of instructions that trigger the operation of different functional systems of the water supply device. The start signal can be generated in a variety of ways, such as physical buttons on the device, remote controls, mobile phone APP remote control, etc. When the user wants to use the instant drinking function or brewing function of the water supply device, a start signal will be generated through corresponding operations, and the control system of the water supply device will monitor and obtain the start signal in real time.

[0060] Understandably, the start signal can be a single start signal for starting the water supply device, or the start signal can include multiple different control signals, for example, a start signal for starting the water supply device, a ready-to-drink start signal for controlling the start of the ready-to-drink system, a brewing start signal for controlling the start of the brewing system, etc.

[0061] In step S102, if the acquired start signal is identified as a ready-to-drink start signal, the display and control device will start the ready-to-drink system. The ready-to-drink system usually includes a heating component and a refrigeration component to meet the user's needs for drinking water at different temperatures. The preset ready-to-drink program will run according to the user's settings or the default settings of the water supply equipment. For example, if the user needs hot water, the ready-to-drink system will start the heating device in the heating component to heat the water to the specified temperature and provide it to the user; if the user needs cold water, the refrigeration component will work to cool the water. During operation, the ready-to-drink system will continuously monitor parameters such as water temperature and water volume to ensure the provision of stable and safe drinking water.

[0062] In step S103, when the start signal is determined to be a brewing start signal, the brewing system is started. The brewing system includes a brewing component, and the brewing component 50 includes a brewing pot 51 and a support seat 52. The support seat 52 is arranged on the housing 10, and the brewing pot 51 is detachably arranged on the support seat 52. A heating component (not shown in the figure) is arranged inside the brewing pot 51. When the brewing pot 51 is arranged on the support seat 52, the water storage cavity of the brewing pot 51 is connected to the first water tank 20, and the heating component is electrically connected to the circuit component in the water supply device housing through the support seat 52. And when the brewing pot 51 is arranged on the support seat 52, the water storage cavity of the brewing pot 51 is connected to the first water tank 20, so that the brewing pot 51 can obtain a large amount of pure water for brewing. At the same time, a circuit component is provided inside the limiting box 10, and the heating component inside the brewing pot 51 can be electrically connected to the circuit component through the support base 52, so that the heating component can work to ensure that the pure water in the brewing pot 51 can reach a preset temperature and meet the water temperature required for brewing.

[0063] The preset brewing programs are set according to different brewing needs. For example, when making tea, the system will heat the water to a temperature suitable for brewing tea, and then keep it for a certain period of time for soaking; when stewing desserts, the temperature and time will be adjusted according to the characteristics of the desserts. During the brewing process, the brewing system will monitor parameters such as temperature and time in real time to ensure that the brewing effect meets expectations.

[0064] The water supply device of the present invention integrates the first water tank for storing pure water with the instant drinking system and the brewing system, which can realize multiple functions such as pure drinking water and health stewing, greatly saving home or office space. The control method of the water supply device starts the instant drinking system and the brewing system respectively by obtaining different start signals, and controls them to run according to the preset program. The above control method makes the operation more convenient and efficient. The user only needs to send a corresponding start signal, and the water supply device can automatically work according to the preset program, without complicated operation procedures and separate control of multiple devices, meeting the various needs of users, enriching the functions of the water supply device, and improving the user experience.

[0065] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the method for controlling the instant drinking system to run with a preset instant drinking program includes the following steps:

[0066] Step S201: judging whether the instant drinking water quantity signal is included according to the instant drinking start signal;

[0067] Step S202: when the instant drinking start signal includes an instant drinking water volume signal, the instant drinking water output of the instant drinking system is controlled according to the instant drinking water volume signal;

[0068] Step S203: when the instant drinking start signal does not include an instant drinking water quantity signal, obtaining an instant drinking water supply quantity record of the instant drinking system;

[0069] Step S204: determining the last drinking water supply volume in the drinking water supply volume record as the drinking water theoretical demand volume;

[0070] Step S204: controlling the ready-to-drink water output of the ready-to-drink system according to the theoretical ready-to-drink water demand.

[0071] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the display and control device of the water supply equipment includes a display panel and a relay control board. The display panel is arranged outside the box and is used to interact with the user. The relay control board is arranged inside the box and is electrically connected to the ready-to-drink system and the brewing system respectively. The relay control board is configured to control the operation of the ready-to-drink system and the brewing system according to the control method.

[0072] Specifically, the display panel has functions such as status display, parameter display, prompt information display, and interaction with the user. Specifically, in the status display function, the current operating status of the instant drinking system and the brewing system can be displayed, such as whether the instant drinking system is in the state of heating, cooling, or ready to provide drinking water; whether the brewing system is making tea, stewing desserts, or in standby state, so that the user can understand the working status of the equipment at a glance; for parameter display, in the instant drinking function, the current drinking water temperature is displayed, such as the specific temperature value of hot water, the temperature range of cold water, etc., so that the user can choose the appropriate drinking water according to the displayed temperature, and for the brewing system, the current brewing parameters are displayed, such as brewing temperature, brewing time, remaining time, etc., so that the user can understand the progress and status of brewing, so as to better grasp the brewing effect; for prompt information display, when the equipment fails or an abnormal situation occurs, the display panel will display the corresponding error code or prompt information, inform the user of the problem, and guide the user to take corresponding measures. For example, a water tank water shortage prompt, a heating element failure prompt, etc. For the interactive function of the display panel, the display panel can adopt a touch screen mode, and the user can operate by touching the icons, buttons, etc. on the screen. For example, the user can start the instant drink system by touching the instant drink button on the screen and select the temperature of hot or cold water; in the brewing system, different brewing modes (such as brewing tea, stewing desserts, etc.) can be selected by touching the screen and corresponding parameters can be set.

[0073] In step S201, the display panel is provided with a ready-to-drink quantitative gear icon. The user can control the ready-to-drink quantitative gear icon by touching it to send a ready-to-drink water volume signal to the transfer control panel. The transfer control panel confirms that the water volume corresponding to the quantitative gear is the water volume required by the user based on the ready-to-drink water volume signal after the user operates the ready-to-drink quantitative gear icon. Therefore, after the display control device receives the ready-to-drink start signal, it is necessary to determine whether the user's operation instruction for the ready-to-drink quantitative gear icon is obtained, and then determine the pure water supply of the ready-to-drink system. By judging whether the ready-to-drink start signal contains a ready-to-drink water volume signal, a clear direction is provided for the subsequent determination of the ready-to-drink water output. This judgment mechanism enables the ready-to-drink system to flexibly adapt to the needs of different users, which not only meets the needs of users who have clear requirements for the ready-to-drink water volume, but also provides a reasonable way to determine the water volume for users who do not have specific requirements.

[0074] In step S202, if it is determined that the instant drinking start signal contains an instant drinking water volume signal, the instant drinking system will control the instant drinking water output according to the instant drinking water volume signal. For example, if the user sets the instant drinking water volume to 300 ml, the instant drinking system will accurately output 300 ml of drinking water through a flow control device (such as a solenoid valve, a flow meter, etc.). In this step, the user can set the instant drinking water volume according to their actual needs, and the instant drinking system can accurately output the corresponding amount of water, avoiding the situation of too much or too little water, and improving user satisfaction.

[0075] In step S203, if the ready-to-drink water quantity signal is not included in the ready-to-drink water start signal, the system will obtain the ready-to-drink water supply quantity record of the ready-to-drink system. The ready-to-drink water supply quantity record can be stored in the memory of the water supply device or stored and managed through a cloud server. The ready-to-drink water supply quantity record contains the water quantity information of each previous water supply of the ready-to-drink system, including time, water quantity, etc. When there is no ready-to-drink water quantity signal, the ready-to-drink water supply quantity record is obtained to provide a data basis for determining the ready-to-drink water output. This enables the ready-to-drink system to make relatively reasonable water output decisions without clear user instructions, thereby improving the intelligence and adaptability of the system.

[0076] In step S204, the last amount of drinking water supply is determined from the record of drinking water supply as the theoretical amount of drinking water required. That is, when the user does not clearly specify the amount of drinking water, he or she may tend to use the same or similar amount of water as the last time drinking. For example, if the record of drinking water supply shows that the last amount of drinking water was 400 ml, then in the absence of other designations, 400 ml is used as the theoretical amount of drinking water required this time. Using the last amount of drinking water supply as the theoretical amount of drinking water required is a reasonable assumption based on user habits. The above method can meet the user's potential needs to a certain extent, reduce the user's operating steps, and improve the convenience of use. At the same time, it can also avoid the situation where the output water volume is unreasonable due to uncertainty of the drinking water output.

[0077] In step S205, the ready-to-drink water output of the ready-to-drink system is controlled according to the determined ready-to-drink theoretical water demand. The ready-to-drink system outputs drinking water according to the ready-to-drink theoretical water demand through a corresponding control device to meet the needs of the user.

[0078] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the method for controlling the instant drinking system to run with a preset instant drinking program includes the following steps:

[0079] Step S301: judging whether the ready-to-drink start signal includes a ready-to-drink temperature signal;

[0080] Step S302: when the instant drinking start signal includes an instant drinking temperature signal, controlling the instant drinking water outlet temperature of the instant drinking system according to the instant drinking temperature signal;

[0081] Step S303: when the ready-to-drink start signal does not include a ready-to-drink temperature signal, obtain a preset water outlet temperature, and control the ready-to-drink water outlet temperature of the ready-to-drink system according to the preset water outlet temperature.

[0082] In step S301, it should be noted that the display panel is provided with a ready-to-drink temperature gear icon. The user can control the ready-to-drink temperature gear icon by touching it to send a ready-to-drink temperature signal to the transfer control panel. The transfer control panel confirms that the temperature corresponding to the temperature gear is the outlet water temperature required by the user based on the ready-to-drink temperature signal after the user operates the ready-to-drink temperature gear icon. Therefore, after the display control device receives the ready-to-drink start signal, it is necessary to determine whether the user's operation instruction for the ready-to-drink temperature gear icon is obtained, and then determine the pure water supply temperature of the ready-to-drink system. By judging whether the ready-to-drink start signal contains a ready-to-drink temperature signal, a clear direction is provided for the subsequent determination of the ready-to-drink water outlet temperature. This judgment mechanism enables the ready-to-drink system to flexibly adapt to the needs of different users, which not only meets the needs of users who have clear requirements for the temperature of ready-to-drink water, but also provides a reasonable way to determine the water temperature for users who do not have specific requirements.

[0083] In step S302, if it is determined that the ready-to-drink start signal contains a ready-to-drink temperature signal, the ready-to-drink system will control the ready-to-drink water outlet temperature according to the ready-to-drink temperature signal. The ready-to-drink system may adjust the water temperature through a heating or cooling device to meet the user's requirements. For example, if the user sets the ready-to-drink temperature to 45°C warm water, the ready-to-drink system will start the corresponding instant heating component, heat the output pure water to 45°C and output it to the user. Such a setting can accurately meet user needs. Users can set the ready-to-drink temperature according to their actual needs, and accurately output drinking water of the corresponding temperature, thereby improving user satisfaction. Users can also choose the appropriate water temperature according to different scenarios and needs, such as choosing hot water in winter, cold water in summer, or water of a specific temperature when a specific beverage needs to be brewed, which increases the flexibility and practicality of the ready-to-drink system.

[0084] In step S303, if the ready-to-drink start signal does not include a ready-to-drink temperature signal, the system will obtain the preset water outlet temperature. The preset water outlet temperature can be the default setting of the device, or it can be a common temperature set in advance by the user. For example, the default preset water outlet temperature of the device may be room temperature (25°C), or the user can set the preset water outlet temperature to 50°C according to their own habits. Then, the ready-to-drink system will control the ready-to-drink water outlet temperature according to the preset water outlet temperature, and provide the water to the user after adjusting it to the preset temperature. For users who do not have specific water temperature requirements, the water supply equipment automatically adopts the preset water outlet temperature, and the user does not need to set the temperature every time, which simplifies the operation process and improves the convenience of use.

[0085] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the method of starting the brewing system according to the start signal as a brewing start signal and controlling the brewing system to run a preset brewing program includes the following steps:

[0086] Step S401: determining a stewing mode of the brewing system in response to a user's selection according to the start signal being a brewing start signal;

[0087] Step S402: Control the operation of the brewing system according to the stewing mode.

[0088] In step S401, when the system detects that the start signal is a brewing start signal. Different stewing mode options are displayed on the display panel of the water supply device, or the user is guided to select a mode by means of sound prompts, flashing indicator lights, etc. In this embodiment, the brewing system has 6 brewing modes for users to choose from. The user makes a selection through corresponding operation methods (such as touching the options on the display panel, pressing the physical button on the device, etc.). The water supply device will respond to the user's selection operation in real time and determine the stewing mode of the brewing system. Different stewing modes may correspond to different temperature, time, power and other parameter settings, such as tea brewing mode, stewing dessert mode, insulation mode, etc. By determining the stewing mode in response to the user's selection, the device can perform personalized brewing according to the specific needs of the user. Different users may have different brewing habits and preferences. By allowing users to independently select the stewing mode, the personalized needs of users can be better met and the user's satisfaction can be improved.

[0089] In step S403, after the stewing mode is determined, the water supply device will control the operation of the brewing system according to the parameter settings corresponding to the stewing mode. For example, if the tea-making mode is selected, the system will heat the water to a temperature suitable for brewing tea and keep it for a certain period of time for soaking; if it is a dessert stewing mode, the system will adjust the temperature and stewing time according to the characteristics of the dessert. During operation, the water supply device will continuously monitor parameters such as temperature and time to ensure that the brewing system operates normally according to the preset stewing mode. By automatically controlling the system according to the selected mode, the tedious process of the user manually adjusting the parameters can be avoided, while also ensuring the consistency and high quality of the brewing effect.

[0090] In some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the method for controlling the brewing system to run a preset brewing program includes the following steps:

[0091] Step S501: judging whether a brewing water quantity signal is included according to the brewing start signal;

[0092] Step S502: when the brewing start signal includes a brewing water volume signal, controlling the brewing water volume of the brewing system according to the brewing water volume signal;

[0093] Step S503: When the brewing start signal does not include a brewing water volume signal, a preset water volume is obtained, and the brewing water volume of the brewing system is controlled according to the preset water volume.

[0094] In step S501, the display panel is provided with a brewing quantitative gear icon. The user can control the brewing quantitative gear icon by touching it to send a brewing water quantity signal to the transfer control panel. The transfer control panel confirms that the amount of water corresponding to the brewing quantitative gear is the amount of water required by the user based on the brewing water quantity signal after the user operates the brewing quantitative gear icon. Therefore, after the display control device receives the brewing start signal, it is necessary to determine whether the user's operation instruction for the brewing quantitative gear icon is obtained, and then determine the pure water supply of the brewing system. By judging whether the brewing start signal contains a brewing water quantity signal, a clear direction is provided for the subsequent determination of the brewing water output. This judgment mechanism enables the brewing system to flexibly adapt to the needs of different users, which not only meets the needs of users who have clear requirements for the amount of brewing water, but also provides a reasonable way to determine the amount of water for users who do not have specific requirements.

[0095] In step S502, if it is determined that the brewing start signal contains a brewing water volume signal, the brewing system will control the brewing water volume according to the brewing water volume signal. For example, if the user sets the brewing water volume to 300 ml, the brewing system will accurately output 300 ml of drinking water through a flow control device (such as a solenoid valve, a flow meter, etc.). In this step, the user can set the brewing water volume according to their actual needs, and the brewing system can accurately output the corresponding water volume, avoiding the situation of too much or too little water, and improving user satisfaction.

[0096] In step S503, if the brewing start signal does not include a brewing water volume signal, it means that the user did not explicitly specify the required brewing water volume when starting the brewing system. The preset water volume can be a fixed water volume value set by the device by default, or it can be a common water volume value set by the user in advance according to his or her usage habits. Then, the water supply device will control the brewing water volume of the brewing system according to the preset water volume, ensuring that the brewing system can perform brewing operations according to a relatively reasonable water volume without the user explicitly specifying the water volume.

[0097] In this embodiment, the preset water output is set to the highest water level of the brewing pot as the stewing water volume. That is, if the brewing start signal does not include the brewing water volume signal, pure water is continuously supplied to the brewing pot until the water level in the brewing pot rises to the highest water level of the brewing pot. Specifically, in this embodiment, two water level probes are arranged in the brewing pot at intervals along the vertical direction, one is arranged at the bottom of the brewing pot, and the other is arranged near the top of the brewing pot. The water level detected by the water level probe arranged at the bottom of the brewing pot is the lowest water level of the brewing pot, and the water level detected by the water level probe arranged near the top of the brewing pot is the highest water level of the brewing pot.

[0098] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 As shown, the control method of the water supply equipment includes the following steps:

[0099] Step S601: obtaining a start signal;

[0100] Step S602: starting the instant-drinking system according to the start signal being an instant-drinking start signal, and controlling the instant-drinking system to run according to a preset instant-drinking program;

[0101] Step S603: starting the brewing system according to the start signal being a brewing start signal, and controlling the brewing system to run according to a preset brewing program;

[0102] Step S604: in the process of running the preset instant-drinking program, in response to the user triggering the brewing start signal, controlling the instant-drinking system to stop executing the preset instant-drinking program, and controlling the brewing system to run with the preset brewing program;

[0103] Step S605: During the running of the preset brewing program, in response to the user triggering the ready-to-drink start signal, the brewing system is controlled to stop executing the preset brewing program, and the ready-to-drink system is controlled to run with the preset ready-to-drink program.

[0104] In this embodiment, step S601 is the same as step S101, step S602 is the same as step S102, and step S603 is the same as step S103, which will not be described in detail herein.

[0105] In step S604, when the instant drinking system is running according to the preset instant drinking program, for example, it is heating or cooling drinking water to meet the instant drinking needs of the user. If the user triggers the brewing start signal at this time, the water supply device will immediately respond to this signal and control the instant drinking system to stop the preset instant drinking program being executed, which may include turning off the heating or cooling device, stopping the water flow output and other operations. Then, the power resources and control focus are transferred to the brewing system, and the brewing system is started and the brewing system is operated according to the preset brewing program. The preset brewing program may involve heating water to a specific temperature for operations such as making tea and stewing desserts. The system will adjust the parameters such as heating power and time according to the specific needs of brewing. When the instant drinking function is being used, if you suddenly want to perform a brewing operation, this step can quickly respond and switch to the brewing system to meet the user's new needs. It avoids the situation where the user needs to wait for the instant drinking program to be completed before brewing, and improves the flexibility and convenience of use. Stopping the operation of the instant drinking system in time can avoid unnecessary energy waste. At the same time, resources are concentrated on the brewing system to ensure that the brewing system can run quickly and stably, and improve the resource utilization efficiency of the equipment.

[0106] In step S605, when the brewing system is running according to the preset brewing program, such as in the process of making tea or stewing desserts. If the user triggers the ready-to-drink start signal at this time, the brewing system is controlled to stop the preset brewing program being executed, including stopping heating and other operations, and start the ready-to-drink system and make it run according to the preset ready-to-drink program. The preset ready-to-drink program will adjust the corresponding equipment parameters to meet the user's instant drinking water needs according to the user's ready-to-drink needs, such as providing hot water, cold water or normal temperature drinking water. When the user is in the process of brewing, there may be a sudden situation of urgent need for drinking water. This step can quickly respond to the ready-to-drink start signal, stop the brewing program and switch to the ready-to-drink system to meet the user's drinking water needs. It ensures that users can easily obtain drinking water at any time, thereby improving the practicality of the equipment.

[0107] In some embodiments, Fig.10 As shown, the method for controlling the brewing system to stop executing the preset brewing program includes the following steps:

[0108] Step S701: determining whether the brewing system is in the water supply stage;

[0109] Step S702: according to the brewing system being in the water supply stage, stopping the execution of the preset brewing program after the brewing system completes the water supply;

[0110] Step S703: according to the brewing system not being in the water supply stage, stop executing the preset brewing program.

[0111] In step S701, when it is necessary to control the brewing system to stop executing the preset brewing program, first determine whether the brewing system is currently in the water supply stage. The water supply stage can be determined by monitoring the water flow state, valve state or other relevant parameters in the brewing system. For example, it is possible to determine whether water is flowing into the brewing container by detecting the signal of the water flow sensor, or to check whether the water supply valve is in an open state. If the judgment result is that the brewing system is in the water supply stage, proceed to the next step; if the judgment result is that the brewing system is not in the water supply stage, directly execute step S703.

[0112] In step S702, if it is determined that the brewing system is in the water supply stage, in order to avoid adverse effects on the brewing process caused by the sudden stop of water supply, the water supply device will wait for the brewing system to complete the current water supply operation. This may include waiting for the water flow to be completely injected into the brewing container, or waiting for the water supply pump to complete the current water supply task. While waiting for the water supply to be completed, the system can continue to monitor the water supply status to ensure that the preset brewing program is stopped in time after the water supply is completed. Once the water supply is completed, the system will stop executing the preset brewing program, stop heating or other brewing-related operations.

[0113] In step S703, if it is determined that the brewing system is not in the water supply stage, the water supply device can immediately stop executing the preset brewing program, so that the brewing system enters a stopped state.

[0114] In some embodiments, when the brewing system is running according to a preset brewing program, such as brewing tea, stewing desserts, etc., the water supply device is in a brewing mode and continuously monitors the user's operation instructions.

[0115] If the user triggers a preset shutdown command, which may be a specific button on the device, a specific operation on the touch screen, or a command issued through a remote control, etc. After the user triggers the shutdown command, the system does not immediately stop the brewing process and switch to the ready-to-drink system, but starts timing to continuously monitor whether the shutdown command lasts for a preset time.

[0116] The purpose of setting the preset time length is to avoid user's misoperation. By setting the preset time length, the user can be given a certain amount of time to confirm whether he really wants to stop the brewing process and switch to the ready-to-drink system.

[0117] If the user cancels the shutdown command or does not continuously trigger the shutdown command within the preset time, the brewing system will continue to run according to the preset brewing program. However, if the shutdown command continues for the preset time, the system will determine the user's intention to stop brewing. At this time, the brewing system is controlled to stop executing the preset brewing program and stop heating and other brewing-related operations. At the same time, the system will shift the control focus to the ready-to-drink system, start the ready-to-drink system and make it run according to the preset ready-to-drink program to meet the user's possible ready-to-drink needs, such as providing hot water, cold water or room temperature drinking water.

[0118] In some embodiments, Fig.11 As shown, the water supply equipment also includes a water production system, the water production system includes the above-mentioned first water tank, and the control method also includes the following steps:

[0119] Step S801: Obtaining the water inlet temperature T of the instant drinking system or brewing system in and total dissolved solids content TDS of influent in ;

[0120] Step S802: According to the inlet water temperature T in Greater than or equal to 25℃, according to the formula Calculate the total dissolved solids content compensation value TDS out ;

[0121] Step S803: According to the inlet water temperature T in Less than 25℃, according to the formula Calculate the total dissolved solids content compensation value TDS out ;

[0122] Step S804: Compensate the total dissolved solids content TDS out Control the operation of the water production system.

[0123] In step S801, the instant drinking system and the brewing system share a first water tank for storing pure water. Before the water enters the instant drinking system and the brewing system, the temperature sensor and the first TDS probe provided in the pure water delivery pipeline connected to the water outlet of the first water tank respectively detect the water inlet temperature T in and the total dissolved solids content TDS of the influent in .

[0124] In step S802, if the detected inlet water temperature T in If the temperature is greater than or equal to 25°C, the display and control device will use a specific formula To calculate the total dissolved solids content compensation value TDS out The above is based on experimental data and theoretical models, taking into account the factors affecting the total dissolved solids content when the inlet water temperature is high.

[0125] In step S803, when the inlet water temperature T in When the temperature is less than 25℃, the display and control device will use a specific formula Calculate the total dissolved solids content compensation value TDS out .

[0126] In step S804, the water system further includes a filter assembly 30 and a second water tank 12, and the water supply device 1 further includes a water receiving box 70 and a housing 10. The housing 10 defines a receiving cavity, in which several internal components such as the second water tank 12, the filter assembly 30, and the self-priming pump are installed.

[0127] like Figure 2 As shown, the second water tank 12 is arranged inside the accommodating cavity, and the second water tank 12 is mainly used to provide raw water for the water system of the water supply equipment 1. Moreover, the second water tank 12 can be connected to an external tap water inlet pipe to replenish raw water into the second water tank 12, and can also be used as an independent water tank to get rid of the constraints of the water pipe. In addition, a self-priming pump is connected and arranged between the second water tank 12 and the filter assembly 30. The filter assembly 30 includes a composite filter element and a reverse osmosis filter element. The raw water in the second water tank 12 flows through the composite filter element and the reverse osmosis filter element under the action of the self-priming pump, and finally flows into the first water tank 20 to form pure water to meet the pure water needs of the user. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first water tank 20 is disposed inside the accommodating cavity, and the water inlet of the first water tank 20 is connected to the filter assembly 30 to receive the pure water output by the filter assembly 30.

[0128] The total dissolved solids content compensation value TDS is calculatedout After that, the display and control device will compensate the total dissolved solids content TDS. out Control the operation of the water production system. Specifically, in some embodiments, according to the total dissolved solids content compensation value TDS out The method for controlling the operation of the water production system includes: calculating the remaining service life of the reverse osmosis filter element, and issuing a filter replacement warning message when the remaining service life of the reverse osmosis filter element is less than 5%.

[0129] Among them, the display and control device can compensate the total dissolved solid content TDS out Calculate the remaining service life of the reverse osmosis filter element, wherein the steps of calculating the remaining service life of the reverse osmosis filter element are as follows:

[0130] Step S1001: Power on the water supply equipment to produce water;

[0131] Step S1002: Collect the total dissolved solids content compensation value TDS of the influent water multiple times out ;

[0132] Step S1003: Calculate the total dissolved solids content compensation value TDS out The average value of the TDS value W1 in the use area is obtained;

[0133] Step S1004: Calculate the theoretical total filtered water volume L1 of the reverse osmosis filter element according to the formula L1=(1-(W1-W0)*X*C)*L0;

[0134] Step S1005: L1 / 10*24 calculates the maximum available time H of the service life of the reverse osmosis filter element;

[0135] Step S1006: Calculate the usage time t2 of the reverse osmosis filter element for every 1% of its service life according to the formula H / 100;

[0136] Step S1007: Calculate the real-time cumulative water production p of the reverse osmosis filter element and calculate the real-time cumulative power-on time t3 of the reverse osmosis filter element;

[0137] Step S1008: Determine whether the real-time cumulative water production volume p is greater than 1 liter, if so, execute step S1009, otherwise execute step 1012;

[0138] Step S1009: adding 1 liter to the actual cumulative water production volume P of the reverse osmosis filter element;

[0139] Step S1010: Calculate the filtered water volume L2 of the reverse osmosis filter element per 1% of its service life according to the formula L1 / 100;

[0140] Step S1011: according to aL2<P<bL2, the percentage F of the service life of the reverse osmosis filter element is accumulated by 1%, and step 1015 is executed;

[0141] Step S1012: Determine whether the real-time power-on cumulative time t3 is less than 1 hour, if yes, execute step 1007, if no, execute step S1013;

[0142] Step S1013: adding the actual energized cumulative time H2 of the reverse osmosis filter element to 1 hour;

[0143] Step S1014: according to at2<H2<bt2, the percentage F of the service life of the reverse osmosis filter element is accumulated by 1%;

[0144] Step S1015: Calculate the remaining service life of the reverse osmosis filter element according to 100%-F.

[0145] In this embodiment, W1 is the TDS value of the area of ​​use, that is, the TDS detection value of the inlet water. W0 is the laboratory TDS value, and the laboratory TDS value is set to 200 mg / L. The laboratory TDS value is also the TDS value of the certified laboratory water quality. L1 is the service life of the water supply equipment in the area of ​​use, and is expressed in terms of the theoretical total filtered water volume. L0 is the certified filter element life, where L0 is specifically 18250L (3650L*5 years). X is the water quality coefficient, and X is set to 0.0015 based on preliminary experimental verification. C is the intelligent flushing coefficient, and C is initially set to 1.00 (C can be revised according to different RO filter element membrane rolling methods / electrically controlled flushing procedures).

[0146] The maximum available service life H of the reverse osmosis filter element is calculated according to the formula (L1 / 10)*24, where H is in hours, 24 refers to 24 hours a day, and 10 refers to the daily water production of the water supply equipment of 10L.

[0147] When the remaining service life of the reverse osmosis filter element is less than 5%, the display control device controls the display panel to issue a filter replacement warning message to remind the user to replace the reverse osmosis filter element.

[0148] In other embodiments, the total dissolved solids content compensation value TDS out The method for controlling the operation of the water production system includes: compensating the total dissolved solids content TDS according to the total dissolved solids content TDS out If the value is greater than or equal to 999, the control display panel will issue a warning message to replace the raw water, reminding the user to replace the raw water in the second water tank.

[0149] In this embodiment, different calculation formulas are used to calculate the total dissolved solids content compensation value according to different water inlet temperatures, which can more accurately compensate for water quality changes caused by temperature changes. At different temperatures, the solubility and activity of dissolved substances in water may be different, so targeted compensation calculations are required to ensure that the output water quality information is more accurate and reliable. Since the water inlet temperature may be affected by various factors such as season, climate, and water source, the device can be better adapted to various different usage environments by calculating separately for different temperature ranges. Whether in hot summer or cold winter, accurate water quality compensation values ​​can be provided to ensure stable water quality for the ready-to-drink system and brewing system.

[0150] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Fig.12 As shown, the instant drinking system includes an instant heating component and a refrigeration component, the refrigeration component includes an ice container, and the ice container defines a cavity for storing cold water; the control method also includes the following steps:

[0151] Step S901: obtaining the cold water temperature of the liquid in the cavity;

[0152] Step S902: Based on the cold water temperature being less than or equal to the first preset temperature, controlling the refrigeration component to stop refrigeration;

[0153] Step S903: According to the cold water temperature being greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, controlling the refrigeration component to start refrigeration.

[0154] In step S901, in the instant drinking system, the ice liner of the refrigeration component defines a cavity for storing cold water. The cold water temperature of the liquid in the cavity is obtained in real time through a temperature sensor or other equipment. The temperature sensor can be installed inside the ice liner or in contact with the ice liner to accurately measure the temperature of the cold water. The obtained cold water temperature information will serve as a basis for subsequent control of the refrigeration component.

[0155] In step S902, when the obtained cold water temperature is less than or equal to the first preset temperature, it means that the cold water in the cavity has reached the required low temperature state. At this time, the control system will issue an instruction to control the refrigeration component to stop refrigeration. This can be achieved by turning off the refrigeration compressor, stopping the refrigerant circulation or other methods. Stopping refrigeration can prevent the cold water temperature from being too low, and can also save energy and reduce the operating cost of the equipment.

[0156] In step S903, if the obtained cold water temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, it indicates that the cold water temperature in the cavity has risen and exceeds the acceptable range. In this case, the control system will start the refrigeration component to start refrigeration. The method of starting refrigeration is the same as the normal refrigeration operation, and the temperature of the cold water is lowered by starting the refrigeration compressor, starting the refrigerant circulation, etc., so that it returns to the appropriate temperature range.

[0157] In this embodiment, the first preset temperature is set to 10°C, and the second preset temperature is set to 12°C.

[0158] In some embodiments, the cold water temperature of the liquid in the cavity is obtained once every first preset time period. By regularly obtaining the cold water temperature, the temperature change of the cold water in the cavity can be monitored in real time, so that the water supply equipment can detect the temperature fluctuation in time, and take corresponding control measures when necessary to ensure that the cold water temperature always remains within a relatively stable range. For example, when the temperature has an upward trend, the refrigeration component can be started in advance to cool down to avoid the temperature exceeding the acceptable range for the user. By obtaining the temperature after the first preset time interval, the refrigeration component can be put into standby or low-power operation when the temperature is relatively stable and within the appropriate range, and the refrigeration is only started when needed, thereby greatly improving energy efficiency.

[0159] It should be noted that the control method of the water supply equipment also includes a fault diagnosis method and a processing method for the brewing pot. Specifically, when the temperature of the health pot is too high, the user operates the brewing start signal to enable the water supply equipment to execute the preset brewing program, and the buzzer beeps and reminds 10 times.

[0160] If the temperature sensor is open or short-circuited, the user operates the brewing start signal to make the water supply device execute the preset brewing program, and the buzzer beeps and reminds 10 times.

[0161] If the water level sensor (ie, the water level probe) is short-circuited, the user operates the brewing start signal to enable the water supply device to execute the preset brewing program, and the buzzer beeps and reminds 10 times.

[0162] If a communication failure occurs in the brewing system or the ready-to-drink system, the user operates the brewing start signal to enable the water supply device to execute the preset brewing program, and the buzzer beeps and reminds 10 times.

The electric control system is connected to the power adapter 1020 and is responsible for adapting and adjusting the external input power to meet the power requirements of each component of the water supply device 1. Then, the appropriate power is distributed to different control boards such as the instant heating control board 6010, the transfer control board 92, the brewing control board 5010 and the refrigeration control board 6020 to ensure that each part can obtain a stable and reliable power supply.

[0170] In detail, the relay control board 92 can control the operation of the heat collecting tube and the first water pump 601 through the instant heating control board 6010. The relay control board 92 can also control the operation of the brewing pot 51, the brewing water pump 501 and the heating component through the brewing control board 5010. The relay control board 92 can also control the operation of the electronic ice tank, the cooling fan and the second water pump through the instant heating control board 6010.

[0171] The electronic ice tank uses semiconductor refrigeration to cool the water in the first water tank 20. The electronic ice tank has a cavity, and the water inlet and the water outlet of the electronic ice tank are respectively connected to the cavity. The second water pump can pump the water in the first water tank 20 into the cavity for pre-cooling. When the user needs to drink cold water, the cold water in the cavity is directly discharged through the outlet 64 for the user to use.

[0172] The water supply device 1 also includes a power adapter 1020 for supplying power to the display and control device 90, the instant drinking system and the brewing system.

[0173] Furthermore, the water system further includes a filter assembly 30 and a second water tank 12, and the water supply device 1 further includes a water receiving box 70 and a housing 10. The housing 10 defines a receiving cavity, in which several internal components such as the second water tank 12, the filter assembly 30, and the self-priming pump are installed.

[0174] like Figure 2As shown, the second water tank 12 is arranged inside the accommodating cavity, and the second water tank 12 is mainly used to provide raw water for the water system of the water supply device 1. Moreover, the second water tank 12 can be connected to an external tap water inlet pipe to replenish raw water into the second water tank 12, and can also be used as an independent water tank, thereby getting rid of the constraints of the water pipe.

[0175] In this embodiment, the filter assembly 30 may be provided with a plurality of filter elements, which are connected by waterways, or only one reverse osmosis filter element may be provided. Preferably, a pre-filter element is provided upstream of the reverse osmosis filter element, and the type of the pre-filter element may be PP in different forms, activated carbon in different forms, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and a composite filter element of the above materials, etc. A post-filter element may also be provided downstream of the reverse osmosis filter element, and the type of the post-filter element may be activated carbon in different forms. Of course, the post-filter element and the pre-filter element may be two independent filter elements, or may be a composite filter element. If the post-filter element and the pre-filter element are a composite filter element, the composite filter element has the filtering functions of the pre-filter element and the post-filter element at the same time. The composite filter element has two non-interfering flow paths inside. One flow path is used for coarse filtration, which is equivalent to the pre-filter element. The raw water enters the reverse osmosis filter element after coarse filtration in this flow path; the other flow path is used for re-filtration, which is equivalent to the post-filter element. The pure water filtered by the reverse osmosis filter element is filtered again from this flow path and finally flows out from the water outlet of the composite filter element.

[0176] In addition, a self-priming pump is connected between the second water tank 12 and the filter assembly 30. The raw water in the second water tank 12 flows through the filter assembly 30 under the action of the self-priming pump and finally flows into the first water tank 20 to form pure water to meet the pure water needs of users.

[0177] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first water tank 20 is disposed inside the accommodating cavity, and the water inlet of the first water tank 20 is connected to the filter assembly 30 to receive the pure water output by the filter assembly 30 .
