Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of drinking water purification equipment, and specifically provides a control method for drinking water purification equipment and drinking water purification equipment. Background Art

[0002] As living standards improve, the use of water purification equipment is increasing. For example, a pipeline water cooler primarily contains core components such as a solenoid valve, water tank, water pump, and heater. During installation and commissioning, the water pump needs to be powered on.

[0003] However, due to the high temperature and humidity inside the water pump, the diaphragm inside the water pump can easily stick, preventing it from opening and, in turn, preventing the water pump from pumping water. In such a situation, if the user activates the heating function, it is very easy to cause the heating element to dry out, posing a safety hazard and property loss to the user, greatly affecting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the above technical problems at least to a certain extent, that is, to solve the problem that the heating body of the existing drinking water purification equipment is prone to dry burning due to adhesion of the diaphragm in the water pump.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a control method for a pure drinking water device, which comprises a water inlet component, a water pump and a heating component connected in sequence, wherein the heating component has a heating chamber and a heating body, the water pump can transport the water in the water inlet component into the heating chamber, and the heating body can heat the water entering the heating chamber. After starting the water pump, the control method comprises the following steps: determining whether the pure drinking water device is powered on for the first time; when it is determined that the pure drinking water device is powered on for the first time, causing the water pump to execute a vibration mode; wherein the vibration mode is that the water pump operates under a preset voltage condition to cause the water pump to vibrate.

[0006] In the preferred technical solution of the control method for the above-mentioned drinking water purification equipment, after the water pump executes the vibration mode, the control method also includes the following steps: obtaining the current flow Qd of the water outlet end of the water pump in real time; judging whether the current flow Qd is less than the first preset flow Q1; and selectively turning off the vibration mode of the water pump based on the judgment result.

[0007] In the preferred technical solution of the control method for the above-mentioned drinking water purification device, the step of "selectively turning off the vibration mode of the water pump according to the judgment result" specifically includes: if the judgment result is "no", turning off the vibration mode of the water pump.

[0008] In the preferred technical solution of the control method for the above-mentioned pure drinking equipment, the specific steps of "selectively turning off the vibration mode of the water pump according to the judgment result" include: if the judgment result is "yes", further obtaining the running time after the water pump executes the vibration mode; judging whether the running time exceeds the preset time; and selectively turning off the vibration mode of the water pump according to the judgment result.

[0009] In the preferred technical solution of the control method for the above-mentioned drinking water purification device, the step of "selectively turning off the vibration mode of the water pump according to the judgment result" specifically includes: if the judgment result is "no", the water pump will not turn off the vibration mode.

[0010] In the preferred technical solution of the control method for the above-mentioned drinking water purification device, the step of "selectively turning off the vibration mode of the water pump according to the judgment result" specifically includes: if the judgment result is "yes", turning off the vibration mode of the water pump.

[0011] In the preferred technical solution of the control method for the above-mentioned drinking water purification equipment, after the water pump turns off the vibration mode, the control method of the present invention also includes the following steps: obtaining the actual water outlet flow Qs of the water outlet end of the water pump; obtaining the second preset flow Q2 set by the user; selectively turning off the water pump according to the actual water outlet flow Qs and the second preset flow Q2; wherein, Q1>Q2.

[0012] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned control method for pure drinking equipment, the step of "selectively turning off the water pump according to the actual water outlet flow rate Qs and the second preset flow rate Q2" includes: comparing the actual water outlet flow rate Qs with the second preset flow rate Q2; and selectively turning off the water pump according to the comparison result.

[0013] In the preferred technical solution of the control method for the above-mentioned drinking water purification device, the step of "selectively turning off the water pump according to the comparison result" specifically includes: if Qs<Q2, turning off the water pump; if Qs≥Q2, not turning off the water pump.

[0014] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a drinking water purification device, which includes a controller, and the controller is configured to be able to execute any one of the control methods for the drinking water purification device introduced above.

[0015] When the above technical solution is adopted, when the drinking water purification device is powered on for the first time, the water pump can be made to execute the vibration mode to generate high-frequency vibration, thereby loosening the diaphragm inside the water pump, thereby avoiding the water pump from being unable to pump water normally due to adhesion of the diaphragm, and thus avoiding the phenomenon of dry burning of the heating component, thereby greatly improving the safety of the use of the drinking water purification device and enhancing the user experience.

[0016] Furthermore, compared with turning off the vibration mode of the water pump after the time for which the water pump executes the vibration mode reaches a preset time length, by obtaining the current flow Qd of the water outlet of the water pump in real time and judging whether the current flow Qd is less than the first preset flow Q1, the vibration mode of the water pump is selectively turned off according to the judgment result. When the current flow at the water outlet of the water pump exceeds the first preset flow, the vibration mode of the water pump can be turned off in time, thereby avoiding excessive noise caused by the water pump executing the vibration mode for a long time, and further improving the user experience.

[0017] Furthermore, when the judgment result is "no", it means that the current flow rate Qd at the water outlet of the water pump is not less than the first preset flow rate Q1, that is, the vibration mode of the water pump has loosened the diaphragm, and now there is no diaphragm adhesion in the water pump. Turning off the vibration mode of the water pump in time can reduce the noise generated by the operation of the water pump, thereby helping to improve the user experience.

[0018] Furthermore, when the judgment result is "yes", it means that the diaphragm of the water pump is still stuck. At this time, the running time after the water pump executes the vibration mode is further obtained, and it is determined whether the running time exceeds the preset time, so as to selectively turn off the vibration mode of the water pump. On the one hand, it can avoid the problem of diaphragm adhesion that cannot be solved due to turning off the vibration mode of the water pump too early; on the other hand, it can also avoid the water pump idling for a long time due to the water pump executing the vibration mode for too long, thereby avoiding the water pump from burning.

[0019] Furthermore, when the judgment result is "no", it means that the running time of the water pump since the execution of the vibration mode has not reached the preset time. At this time, the vibration mode is not turned off, and the water pump can continue to execute the vibration mode to make the water pump vibrate, so that the diaphragm can continue to loosen due to vibration, and then the problem of diaphragm adhesion can be solved while ensuring that the water pump is not burned.

[0020] Furthermore, when the judgment result is "yes", it means that the running time of the water pump since the execution of the vibration mode has reached the preset time. At this time, turning off the vibration mode of the water pump in time can avoid the water pump being burned due to long-term idling of the water pump, thereby further improving the safety of the use of the drinking water purification equipment.

[0021] Furthermore, when the diaphragm of the water pump is still stuck, after turning off the vibration mode, the water pump is selectively turned off by obtaining the actual water flow rate at the water outlet of the water pump and according to the actual water flow rate and the second preset flow rate set by the user. On the one hand, although the diaphragm of the water pump is stuck, the water flow rate of the water pump can meet the user's usage needs. At this time, the water pump is not turned off, which can avoid affecting the normal use of the drinking water purification equipment; on the other hand, when the diaphragm of the water pump is stuck, but the flow rate at the water outlet of the water pump cannot meet the user's use, the water pump can be turned off in time to avoid being burned due to idling.

[0022] Furthermore, compared with first calculating the difference or ratio between the actual water outlet flow rate Qs and the second preset flow rate Q2, then comparing the difference or ratio with the preset value, and selectively shutting down the water pump based on the comparison result, by directly comparing the actual water outlet flow rate Qs with the second preset flow rate Q2 and selectively shutting down the water pump based on the comparison result, the size relationship between the actual water outlet flow rate Qs and the second preset flow rate Q2 can be judged more directly, thereby making it possible to more intuitively judge whether to shut down the water pump.

[0023] Furthermore, in the case of Qs<Q2, it means that the actual water outlet flow rate Qs of the water outlet end of the water pump is less than the second preset flow rate Q2, that is, the diaphragm of the water pump is still sticky, and the actual water outlet flow rate of the water pump cannot meet the user's water demand. At this time, timely shutting down the water pump can avoid the water pump from failing to work normally for a long time and causing water pump failure; in the case of Qs≥Q2, it means that the actual water outlet flow rate Qs of the water outlet end of the water pump is not less than the second preset flow rate Q2, which means that although the diaphragm of the water pump is sticky, the adhesion is not serious, and the actual water outlet flow rate of the water outlet end of the water pump can meet the user's water demand, that is, the diaphragm adhesion of the water pump does not affect the normal use of the water pump. Not shutting down the water pump at this time can avoid affecting the normal use of the drinking water purification equipment.

[0024] In addition, the present invention further provides a drinking water purification device based on the above-mentioned technical solution. Since it includes the control method for drinking water purification equipment introduced above, it has the beneficial effects of the control method for drinking water purification equipment mentioned above. Compared with the drinking water purification equipment before the improvement, the water pump of the drinking water purification equipment of the present invention is less likely to stick, the heating body is not prone to dry burning, and the water pump is not easily burned due to idling. The drinking water purification equipment is safer to use and the user experience is better. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] Based on the problem in the prior art that a diaphragm in a water pump of a conventional water purifying device may stick together, causing the heating body to dry burn easily, the present invention provides a control method for the water purifying device.

[0035] Specifically, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the connection structure of the drinking water purification device of the present invention.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the drinking water purification device of the present invention includes a water inlet component 1, a water pump 2 and a heating component 3 which are connected in sequence. The heating component 3 has a heating chamber 31 and a heating body 32. The water pump 2 can transport the water in the water inlet component 1 to the heating chamber 31, and the heating body 32 can heat the water entering the heating chamber 31.

[0037] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art may set the water pump 2 to be a self-priming pump, or may set the water pump 2 to be a booster pump, or may set the water pump 2 to be any other possible type, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific setting type of the water pump 2 do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention and should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] Exemplarily, the water pump 2 of the present invention is a self-priming pump.

[0039] More preferably, the water pump 2 of the present invention is a DC water pump 2 .

[0040] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art may configure the water inlet component 1 as a water tank, which is connected to the water inlet end of the water pump 2, and the water pump 2 can transport the water in the water tank to the heating chamber 31; or, the water inlet component 1 may be configured as a water inlet pipe, one end of which is connected to the water inlet end of the water pump 2, and the other end of which is connected to a water source, and the water pump 2 can transport the external water source to the heating chamber 31 through the water inlet pipe, and so on. Such adjustments and changes to the specific setting type of the water inlet component 1 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention, and should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] Preferably, the water inlet component 1 of the present invention is a water tank, which is connected to the water inlet end of the water pump 2 , and the water pump 2 can transport the water in the water tank to the heating chamber 31 .

[0042] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art may configure the heating component 3 to include a box body and a heating body 32, with a heating chamber 31 formed in the box body, or may configure the heating component 3 to be an instant heating pipe, with a heating chamber 31 formed in the instant heating pipe, which can heat the water entering the pipe, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific setting type of the heating component 3 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention, and should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0043] Preferably, the heating member 3 of the present invention is an instant heating tube.

[0044] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the drinking water purification device of the present invention further includes a water outlet component 4 , the water outlet end of the heating chamber 31 is connected to the water outlet component 4 , and the water heated by the heating component 3 flows out from the water outlet component 4 .

[0045] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art may set the water outlet component 4 as a water outlet, or may set the water outlet component 4 as a faucet, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific setting type of the water outlet component 4 do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention, and should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0046] Preferably, the water outlet component 4 of the present invention is a water outlet nozzle.

[0047] Next see Figure 2 , Figure 2 It is a flow chart of a control method for a pure drinking device according to the present invention.

[0048] After starting the water pump 2, the control method of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0049] S1: Determine whether the water purification device is powered on for the first time;

[0050] S2: When it is determined that the drinking water purification device is powered on for the first time, the water pump 2 is enabled to execute a vibration mode;

[0051] The vibration mode is that the water pump 2 operates under a preset voltage condition so that the water pump 2 generates vibration.

[0052] Through such a setting, when the drinking water purification device is powered on for the first time, the water pump 2 can be made to execute the vibration mode to generate high-frequency vibration, thereby loosening the diaphragm inside the water pump 2, thereby avoiding the water pump 2 from being unable to pump water normally due to adhesion of the diaphragm, and thus avoiding the phenomenon of dry burning of the heating component 3, which greatly improves the safety of the use of the drinking water purification device and enhances the user experience.

[0053] It should be noted that making the water pump 2 execute the vibration mode means making the water pump 2 operate at a preset voltage above the operating voltage so that the water pump 2 generates vibration.

[0054] Preferably, making the water pump 2 execute the vibration mode is to make the DC water pump 2 operate at a rated voltage so that the water pump 2 generates vibration.

[0055] Specifically, the rated voltage of the DC water pump 2 is set to 24V, so that the water pump 2 performs the vibration mode of operating at a voltage of 24V to vibrate the water pump 2, that is, operating at full voltage to vibrate the water pump 2.

[0056] It should be noted that, in actual applications, the vibration mode of the water pump 2 is not limited to being set to operate at the rated voltage so that the water pump 2 vibrates. For example, the vibration mode of the water pump 2 can also be set to operate at a voltage higher than the operating voltage and lower than the rated voltage so that the water pump 2 vibrates, and so on. Such adjustment and change of the specific working voltage of the vibration mode of the water pump 2 does not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention, and should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0057] Of course, preferably, making the water pump 2 execute the vibration mode is to make the DC water pump 2 operate at a rated voltage so that the water pump 2 generates vibration.

[0058] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art can determine whether the drinking water purification device is powered on for the first time based on the information recorded by the controller of the drinking water purification device, or can also determine whether the drinking water purification device is powered on for the first time based on the information displayed on a mobile device that is connected to the drinking water purification device for communication, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific method of determining whether the drinking water purification device is powered on for the first time do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention, and should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0059] Preferably, the step of "determining whether the drinking water purification device is powered on for the first time" specifically includes:

[0060] Determine whether the water purification device is powered on for the first time based on the information recorded by the controller of the water purification device.

[0061] It should be noted that, in actual applications, the first time the drinking water purification device is powered on may be the first time the drinking water purification device is powered on after leaving the factory, or the first time the drinking water purification device is powered on may be the first time the drinking water purification device is powered on after power is cut off, etc. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention, and should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, after the water pump 2 is caused to execute the vibration mode, the water pump 2 may be caused to turn off the vibration mode after the duration of the vibration mode execution reaches a preset duration.

[0063] In another specific embodiment, after the water pump 2 executes the vibration mode, the current flow rate of the water outlet of the water pump 2 is obtained in real time, the current flow rate is compared with the first preset flow rate, and based on the comparison result, the vibration mode of the water pump 2 is selectively turned off.

[0064] It should be noted that, although both of the above two embodiments can enable the water pump 2 to execute the vibration mode to make the water pump 2 vibrate, thereby loosening the diaphragm, compared with the method of turning off the vibration mode of the water pump 2 after the water pump 2 executes the vibration mode for a preset time, by obtaining the current flow at the water outlet of the water pump 2 in real time after the water pump 2 executes the vibration mode, comparing the current flow with the first preset flow, and selectively turning off the vibration mode of the water pump 2 based on the comparison result, it can avoid the failure to loosen the diaphragm due to the water pump 2 executing the vibration mode for too short a time, and on the other hand, it can avoid the excessive noise of the drinking water purification device due to the water pump 2 executing the vibration mode for too long.

[0065] Next see Figure 3 , Figure 3 It is a flow chart of an embodiment of a control method for a pure drinking device of the present invention.

[0066] Preferably, if Figure 3As shown, after the water pump 2 executes the vibration mode, the control method of the present invention further includes the following steps:

[0067] S3: Obtain the current flow rate Qd of the water outlet of water pump 2 in real time;

[0068] S4: Determine whether the current flow rate Qd is less than the first preset flow rate Q1;

[0069] S5: Based on the determination result, the water pump 2 is selectively turned off in the vibration mode.

[0070] Through such a setting, compared with turning off the vibration mode of the water pump 2 after the time for which the water pump 2 executes the vibration mode reaches a preset time length, by obtaining the current flow Qd of the water outlet end of the water pump 2 in real time, and judging whether the current flow Qd is less than the first preset flow Q1, the vibration mode of the water pump 2 is selectively turned off according to the judgment result. When the current flow at the water outlet end of the water pump 2 exceeds the first preset flow, the vibration mode of the water pump 2 can be turned off in time, thereby avoiding excessive noise caused by the water pump 2 executing the vibration mode for a long time, and further improving the user experience.

[0071] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art may set a flow meter at the water outlet of the water pump 2 to obtain the current flow rate Qd at the water outlet of the water pump 2, or may set a flow sensor 21 at the water outlet of the water pump 2 to obtain the current flow rate Qd at the water outlet of the water pump 2, and so on. Such adjustments and changes to the specific method of obtaining the current water outlet flow rate Qd at the water outlet of the water pump 2 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention, and should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0072] Preferably, the drinking water purification device of the present invention further includes a flow sensor 21 , which is arranged at the water outlet of the water pump 2 to detect the flow rate at the water outlet of the water pump 2 .

[0073] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can set the specific value of the first preset flow rate Q1 based on experience or experiments.

[0074] Exemplarily, the first preset flow rate Q1 is 400 ml / min.

[0075] Preferably, if Figure 3 As shown, the step of "selectively turning off the vibration mode of the water pump 2 according to the judgment result" specifically includes:

[0076] S51: If the judgment result is "No", the water pump 2 is turned off in the vibration mode.

[0077] Through such a setting, when the judgment result is "no", it means that the current flow rate Qd at the water outlet end of the water pump 2 is not less than the first preset flow rate Q1, that is, the water pump 2 executes the vibration mode to loosen the diaphragm, and now there is no diaphragm adhesion in the water pump 2. Turning off the vibration mode of the water pump 2 in time can reduce the noise generated by the operation of the water pump 2, thereby helping to improve the user experience.

[0078] It should be noted that turning off the vibration mode of the water pump 2 means making the water pump 2 operate at a normal operating voltage.

[0079] Specifically, the working voltage of the water pump 2 is set to 8V, and the rated voltage of the water pump 2 is 24V. Then, to make the water pump 2 execute the vibration mode is to make the water pump 2 work at a voltage of 24V, and to make the water pump 2 turn off the vibration mode is to make the water pump 2 work at a voltage of 8V.

[0080] Preferably, if Figure 3 As shown, the specific steps of “selectively turning off the vibration mode of the water pump 2 according to the judgment result” include:

[0081] S52: If the judgment result is "yes", further obtaining the operation time since the water pump 2 entered the vibration mode;

[0082] S53: Determine whether the running time exceeds the preset time;

[0083] S54: Based on the determination result, the water pump 2 is selectively turned off in the vibration mode.

[0084] With such a setting, when the judgment result is "yes", it means that the diaphragm of the water pump 2 is still stuck. At this time, the running time after the water pump 2 executes the vibration mode is further obtained, and it is judged whether the running time exceeds the preset time, so as to selectively turn off the vibration mode of the water pump 2. On the one hand, it can avoid the problem of diaphragm adhesion that cannot be solved due to turning off the vibration mode of the water pump 2 too early; on the other hand, it can also avoid the water pump 2 idling for a long time due to the water pump 2 executing the vibration mode for too long, thereby avoiding the water pump 2 from burning.

[0085] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art may set a specific value of the preset time length based on experience or experiments.

[0086] Exemplarily, the preset duration is 100s.

[0087] Preferably, if Figure 3 As shown, the step of "selectively turning off the vibration mode of the water pump 2 according to the judgment result" specifically includes:

[0088] S541: If the judgment result is "No", the water pump 2 is not turned off in the vibration mode.

[0089] Through such a setting, when the judgment result is "no", it means that the running time of the water pump 2 since the execution of the vibration mode has not reached the preset time. At this time, the vibration mode is not turned off, and the water pump 2 can continue to execute the vibration mode to make the water pump 2 vibrate, so that the diaphragm can continue to loosen due to vibration, and then the problem of diaphragm adhesion can be solved while ensuring that the water pump 2 is not burned.

[0090] Preferably, if Figure 3 As shown, when the judgment result is "No", return to step S53.

[0091] Preferably, if Figure 3 As shown, the step of "selectively turning off the vibration mode of the water pump 2 according to the judgment result" specifically includes:

[0092] S542: If the judgment result is "yes", the vibration mode of the water pump 2 is turned off.

[0093] Through such a setting, when the judgment result is "yes", it means that the running time of the water pump 2 since the execution of the vibration mode has reached the preset time. At this time, the water pump 2 is promptly turned off the vibration mode, which can avoid the water pump 2 from idling for a long time and causing failure of the water pump 2, thereby further improving the safety of the use of the drinking water purification equipment.

[0094] Preferably, after turning off the vibration mode of the water pump 2, the control method of the present invention further comprises the following steps:

[0095] Get the actual water flow rate Qs of the water outlet of water pump 2;

[0096] Obtain the second preset flow rate Q2 set by the user;

[0097] The water pump 2 is selectively turned off according to the actual water flow rate Qs and the second preset flow rate Q2.

[0098] Through such a setting, when the diaphragm of the water pump 2 is still stuck, after turning off the vibration mode, the actual water flow rate of the water outlet end of the water pump 2 is obtained, and the water pump 2 is selectively turned off according to the actual water flow rate and the second preset flow rate set by the user. On the one hand, although the diaphragm of the water pump 2 is stuck, the water flow rate of the water pump 2 can meet the user's usage needs. At this time, the water pump 2 is not turned off, which can avoid affecting the normal use of the drinking water purification equipment; on the other hand, when the diaphragm of the water pump 2 is stuck, but the water flow rate of the water outlet end of the water pump 2 cannot meet the user's use, the water pump 2 can be turned off in time to avoid being burned due to idling.

[0099] It should be noted that the specific method for obtaining the actual water flow rate Qs at the water outlet of the water pump 2 is the same as the method for obtaining the current flow rate Qd at the water outlet of the water pump 2, which will not be repeated here.

[0100] It should be noted that, in actual applications, the second preset flow rate Q2 set by the user can be obtained according to the user's operation of the control panel of the pure drinking device, or the second preset flow rate Q2 set by the user can be obtained according to the user's operation of a mobile device that communicates with the pure drinking device, and so on. Such adjustments and changes to the specific method of obtaining the second preset flow rate Q2 set by the user do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention, and should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0101] Preferably, the second preset flow rate Q2 set by the user is obtained according to the user's operation of the control panel of the drinking water purification device.

[0102] Specifically, the user clicks the water outlet button on the drinking water purification device to obtain the second preset flow rate Q2 set by the user.

[0103] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art can directly compare the actual water outlet flow rate Qs with the second preset flow rate Q2, and selectively shut down the water pump 2 based on the comparison result, or they can first calculate the difference between the actual water outlet flow rate Qs and the second preset flow rate Q2, and then compare the difference with the preset value, and selectively shut down the water pump 2 based on the comparison result, or they can first calculate the ratio between the actual water outlet flow rate Qs and the second preset flow rate Q2, and then compare the ratio with the preset value, and selectively shut down the water pump 2 based on the comparison result, etc. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention, and should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0104] Preferably, the step of “selectively shutting down the water pump 2 according to the actual water flow rate Qs and the second preset flow rate Q2” includes:

[0105] Compare the actual water outlet flow rate Qs with the second preset flow rate Q2;

[0106] Based on the comparison result, the water pump 2 is selectively turned off.

[0107] Through such a setting, compared with first calculating the difference or ratio between the actual water outlet flow rate Qs and the second preset flow rate Q2, then comparing the difference or ratio with the preset value, and selectively shutting down the water pump 2 according to the comparison result, by directly comparing the actual water outlet flow rate Qs with the second preset flow rate Q2 and selectively shutting down the water pump 2 according to the comparison result, it is possible to more directly judge the size relationship between the actual water outlet flow rate Qs and the second preset flow rate Q2, thereby more intuitively judging whether to shut down the water pump 2.

[0108] Preferably, the step of “selectively shutting down the water pump 2 according to the comparison result” specifically includes:

[0109] If Qs < Q2, turn off pump 2; and / or

[0110] If Qs≥Q2, pump 2 will not be turned off.

[0111] Through such a setting, when Qs is less than Q2, it means that the actual water outlet flow rate Qs of the water outlet end of the water pump 2 is less than the second preset flow rate Q2, that is, the diaphragm of the water pump 2 is still sticky, and the water outlet flow rate of the water pump 2 cannot meet the user's water demand. At this time, timely shutting down the water pump 2 can avoid the water pump 2 from failing to work normally for a long time and causing a failure of the water pump 2; when Qs≥Q2, it means that the actual water outlet flow rate Qs of the water outlet end of the water pump 2 is not less than the second preset flow rate Q2, which means that although the diaphragm of the water pump 2 is sticky, the adhesion is not serious, and the actual water outlet flow rate of the water outlet end of the water pump 2 can meet the user's water demand, that is, the diaphragm adhesion of the water pump 2 does not affect the normal use of the water pump 2. Not shutting down the water pump 2 at this time can avoid affecting the normal use of the drinking water purification equipment.

[0112] Preferably, after turning off the water pump 2, the control method of the present invention further comprises the following steps:

[0113] Issue a fault prompt to the user.

[0114] Through such a setting, after the water pump 2 is turned off, a fault prompt is promptly issued to the user, and the fault of the water pump 2 diaphragm adhesion causing the water pump 2 to fail to work normally can be notified to the user in a timely manner, making it convenient for the user to repair the water pump 2 of the drinking water purification equipment after receiving the fault prompt, further improving the user's experience.

[0115] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art may display the fault information on the display screen of the drinking water purification device to issue a fault prompt to the user, or may display the fault information on a mobile device that is communicatively connected to the drinking water purification device to issue a fault prompt to the user, or may set an alarm device on the drinking water purification device to issue a fault prompt to the user through the alarm device, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific prompting methods for issuing fault prompts to the user do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention, and should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0116] Preferably, the water purification device of the present invention further comprises an alarm device, which is used to issue a fault prompt to the user.

[0117] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art may set the alarm device to a sound alarm module, or may set the alarm device to a light alarm module, or may set the alarm device to a sound and light combined alarm module, and so on. Such adjustments and changes to the specific setting types of the alarm device do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention and should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0118] Preferably, the alarm device of the present invention is an alarm module combining sound and light.

[0121] Scenario 1:

[0122] If the current flow rate Qd of the water pump 2 is 410 ml / min, then Qd>Q1, and the water pump 2 is turned off in vibration mode.

[0123] Scenario 2:

[0124] If the current flow rate Qd of the water pump 2 is 400 ml / min, then Qd=Q1, and the water pump 2 is turned off in the vibration mode.

[0125] Scenario 3:

[0126] If the current flow rate Qd of water pump 2 is 0 ml / min, then Qd < Q1, and the vibration mode of water pump 2 is not turned off. In this case:

[0127] (1) If the operating time of the water pump 2 after it enters the vibration mode exceeds the preset time, the water pump 2 is turned off from the vibration mode;

[0128] (2) If the operating time since the water pump 2 started the vibration mode is not the preset time, the water pump 2 is not turned off in the vibration mode.

[0129] In addition, the present invention also provides a drinking water purification device, which includes a controller, and the controller is configured to be able to execute any one of the control methods introduced above.

[0130] It should be noted that, in actual applications, the controller can be set to communicate with the water pump 2 to achieve intelligent adjustment of the working mode of the water pump 2, or the controller can be set to communicate with the flow sensor 21 to achieve intelligent detection of the water flow rate at the outlet end of the water pump 2, etc. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention and should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
