[0053] Instructions for operating the control buttons

[0054] (1) Temperature / Flow “+” When the touch button is selected as the temperature button, press the “+” button to set the temperature to increase, and each press of the button will increase the set temperature by 5°C; when the touch button is selected as the flow button, press the “+” button to set the flow to increase, and each press of the button will increase the set flow by 50ML.

[0055] (2) Temperature / Flow “-” When the touch button is selected as the temperature button, press the “-” button to set the temperature to decrease, and the set temperature decreases by 5°C each time the button is pressed; when the touch button is selected as the flow button, press the “-” button to set the flow to decrease, and the set flow decreases by 50ML each time the button is pressed.

[0056] (3) The "30℃" button is the normal temperature water button. When the button is clicked, the indicator light below the button lights up and the upper display shows that the set temperature is 30℃.

[0057] (4) The "45℃" button is the milk making button. When the button is clicked, the indicator light below the button lights up and the upper display shows that the set temperature is 45℃.

[0058] (5) The "60℃" button is the honey water button. When the button is clicked, the indicator light below the button lights up, and the upper display shows that the set temperature is 60℃.

[0059] (6) The "85℃" button is the tea brewing button. When the button is clicked, the indicator light below the button lights up and the upper display shows that the set temperature is 85℃.

[0060] (7) The "100℃" button is the boiling water button. When the button is clicked, the indicator light below the button lights up and the upper display shows that the set temperature is 100℃.

[0061] (8) "300ML" button. When the button is clicked, the indicator light below the button lights up, and the display below shows that the set water flow rate is 300ML.

[0062] (9) "500ML" button. When the button is clicked, the indicator light below the button lights up, and the display below shows that the set water flow rate is 500ML.

[0063] (10) "900ML" button. When the button is clicked, the indicator light below the button lights up and the display below shows that the set water flow rate is 900ML.

[0064] The water outlet temperature control method includes selecting a suitable set water outlet temperature by controlling the button group 14, and the device compares the selected set temperature with the water outlet temperature. When the set temperature and the water outlet temperature differ by more than 65°C, the device will delay water outlet for 3 seconds, and the internal heater of the device will heat up quickly. After 3 seconds, the water outlet reaches the desired water outlet temperature. When the set temperature and the water outlet temperature differ by more than 50°C, the device delays water outlet for 2.4 seconds. When the set temperature and the water outlet temperature differ by more than 40°C, the device delays water outlet for 1.8 seconds. When the set temperature and the water outlet temperature differ by more than 30°C, the device delays water outlet for 1.5 seconds. When the set temperature and the water outlet temperature differ by more than 20°C, the device delays water outlet for 1 second. When the set temperature and the water outlet temperature differ by less than 20°C or greater than the set temperature, the device delays water outlet for 0.5 seconds. The greater the difference between the inlet water temperature and the set temperature, the longer the waiting time for water to come out. This means that the water inside the heater should be preheated in advance. Otherwise, the water temperature will not reach the set temperature at the beginning. This application can meet the user's needs for different water outlet temperatures by controlling the water outlet temperature. The device can discharge water according to the set temperature, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0065] PID and inlet water temperature difference constant temperature control function, the heater realizes constant temperature control through the internal PID algorithm and the algorithm combining the inlet water temperature difference. When the outlet water temperature of the equipment is lower than the set temperature, the PID algorithm is combined with the inlet water temperature to calculate the required additional energy to quickly heat the equipment. When it is higher than the set temperature, the heater is controlled to reduce the heat to the equipment, making the outlet water temperature more constant.

[0066] Heater failure detection method: if the water outlet temperature of the equipment still cannot reach the set temperature minus 20°C temperature deviation after the heater works for about 10 seconds, it is judged that the heater fails and alarms. At the same time, the display window 16 displays the alarm information. The alarm is reset after a delay of 3 seconds. If the alarm cannot be eliminated after resetting once, it is considered that the heater fails. The display window 16 displays the alarm information. Press and hold the reset button for 3 seconds to reset the fault.

[0067] The waterless shutdown control method is that when the flow rate is greater than 4P / S and there is a water flow signal, the device determines that water is flowing. When it is less than 4P / S, the device is judged to be shut down due to waterlessness. At the same time, a window 16 is displayed to prompt the alarm reason. Press and hold the reset button for 3 seconds to reset.

[0068] Water flow control, when the set temperature is below 45℃, the water flow is 900ML / MIN, when the set temperature is 50℃-75℃, the water flow is 650ML / MIN, when the set temperature is 80℃-100℃, the water flow is 520ML / M IN.

[0069] Fault display

[0070] When the device fails, the display window 16 prompts the fault information, the upper display is "ERR", and the lower display window 16 displays the alarm code information. The alarm information is as follows:

[0071] F01 means shutdown due to lack of water; F02 means the equipment is not powered on;

[0072] F03 is a heater failure; F04 is an abnormal alarm for excessive flow rate.

[0073] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "inside", "front side", "rear side", "above" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
