Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of electric water heaters, and particularly to a water heater for energy storage and heat exchange, and its control method and system. Background Art

[0002] Existing electric water heaters mainly include three types: storage-type electric heaters, instant-heating electric heaters, and energy storage-type electric water heaters; the storage-type electric water heater can set the water temperature in the inner tank, but the user needs to heat the water in the inner tank in advance before using water, and mix water through a mixing valve to meet the water temperature requirement for use; the instant-heating electric water heater controls the power of the heating module through a thyristor according to the temperature set by the user to quickly heat the water flow; the energy storage-type electric water heater combines the functions of heat storage and instant heating, and can discharge water quickly and in large quantities according to the set outlet water temperature of the user.

[0003] However, the current control scheme for energy storage-type electric water heaters is relatively simple. Usually, the energy storage medium is first heated to a certain temperature, and then the heat is transferred to the water for use through heat exchange. The heating speed in this process is relatively slow, and it is difficult to quickly reach a constant temperature state; there is a lack of a systematic water energy storage control scheme, and there is no obvious advantage in terms of energy conservation and quick constant temperature.

[0004] Moreover, the existing control scheme for phase change material energy storage and heat exchange has deficiencies in the control logic of energy storage control and constant temperature water output. For example, in the process of heat transfer from the phase change material to the water, due to the limited heat transfer coefficient between the two, the heat may not be quickly and effectively transferred to the water flow, resulting in the outlet water temperature not quickly reaching the set constant temperature value. In addition, the thermal conductivity of most phase change materials is relatively low, and the heat transfer speed is slow during the energy storage process, resulting in a long energy storage time and low efficiency, which is likely to lead to the failure to achieve the goals of energy conservation, quick constant temperature, and energy consumption savings according to demand.

[0036] Embodiment 1, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a schematic flowchart of an embodiment of a control method for a water heater for energy storage and heat exchange provided by this application. The control method is used for a water heater for energy storage and heat exchange. Among them, the water heater for energy storage and heat exchange includes a mixing valve, an instant water heater, a water storage tank, and a water valve. As Figure 1 shown, the control method includes Step 101 - Step 103, specifically as follows:

[0037] Step 101: When it is detected that there is a water usage demand, calculate the required instantaneous power based on the current inlet water temperature, current water flow rate, and preset temperature of the water heater for energy storage and heat exchange, and calculate the instantaneous power of the instant water heater based on the current voltage and current of the water heater for energy storage and heat exchange.

[0038] In one embodiment, the water heater for energy storage and heat exchange is respectively subjected to a fault detection and a water volume detection of the water storage tank.

[0039] Specifically, since fault detection of the water heater for energy storage and heat exchange is a necessary step to ensure safe use and normal operation of the system, and the water storage tank is the storage and supply source of hot water, whether the water volume is sufficient is directly related to whether the user's water usage demand can be met. Therefore, after the water heater for energy storage and heat exchange is powered on and started, it is necessary to first perform a fault detection and a water volume detection of the water heater for energy storage and heat exchange.

[0040] In one embodiment, fault detection is performed on the water heater for energy storage and heat exchange, which specifically includes: after detecting that the water heater for energy storage and heat exchange is powered on, fault detection is performed on each module circuit in the water heater for energy storage and heat exchange. When a fault is detected in the target module circuit, a fault code corresponding to the target module circuit is generated, and the fault code is displayed on the display module of the water heater for energy storage and heat exchange.

[0041] Specifically, each of the module circuits includes, but is not limited to, a temperature sensor circuit, a mixing valve circuit, an operator communication circuit, etc.

[0042] Specifically, when performing fault detection on the temperature sensor circuit, a detection resistor or other detection element in the temperature sensor circuit can be used to measure the resistance value or output voltage of the temperature sensor, so as to determine whether there is a short circuit or open circuit in the temperature sensor.

[0043] Specifically, when performing fault detection on the mixing valve circuit, the feedback of its reset signal can be checked to determine whether the mixing valve can be normally reset, so as to determine whether the mixing valve is faulty.

[0044] Specifically, when performing fault detection on the operator communication circuit, it is determined whether the operator is faulty by detecting whether data can be normally received and sent.

[0045] Specifically, when a fault is detected in the target module circuit, the system will immediately generate a corresponding fault code; among them, the fault code is preset, and each fault code uniquely corresponds to a specific fault type; and based on the fault code, rapid fault location can be achieved.

[0046] Preferably, when a fault is detected in the temperature sensor circuit, the fault code E1 corresponding to the temperature sensor circuit is generated; when a fault is detected in the mixing valve circuit, the fault code E2 corresponding to the mixing valve circuit is generated; when a fault is detected in the operator communication circuit, the fault code E3 corresponding to the operator communication circuit is generated.

[0047] Specifically, by immediately performing self-check on the water heater for energy storage and heat exchange after power-on and startup, faults can be detected and displayed in a timely manner. At this time, the heating function is turned off to avoid operating in a fault state and ensure that the system is in a safe and operable state, laying a foundation for subsequent normal use.

[0048] In one embodiment, when detecting the water volume in the water storage tank of the water heater for energy storage and heat exchange, the water volume in the water storage tank is obtained. When the water volume in the water storage tank does not meet the preset water volume threshold of the water storage tank, the water storage tank is automatically replenished with water until the water volume in the water storage tank meets the preset water volume threshold; the water storage temperature of the water storage tank is obtained. When the water storage temperature does not meet the preset water storage temperature threshold, the water stored in the water storage tank is heated until the water storage temperature meets the preset water storage temperature threshold, and the heating of the water stored in the water storage tank is stopped; the current water storage temperature of the water storage tank is continuously obtained. When it is detected that the current water storage temperature of the water storage tank drops from the preset water storage temperature threshold to the preset dead band temperature, the water stored in the water storage tank is reheated.

[0049] Specifically, the water volume in the water storage tank is obtained based on a liquid level sensor. When it is detected that the water volume in the water storage tank is lower than the preset water volume threshold of the water storage tank, it is determined that the water volume in the water storage tank does not meet the preset water volume threshold, and the automatic water replenishment program for the water storage tank is started. Among them, the automatic water replenishment program for the water storage tank controls the water valve in the water heater for energy storage and heat exchange to open, so that external water sources flow into the water storage tank through the water valve until the liquid level sensor detects that the water volume in the water storage tank is not lower than the preset water volume threshold, that is, the water volume in the water storage tank meets the preset water volume threshold, and the automatic water replenishment program for the water storage tank is closed to close the water valve; it ensures that at any time, the water storage tank has enough water volume to meet the potential water use needs of users, avoids the interruption of hot water supply due to insufficient water volume, and maintains the basic operation function of the system.

[0050] Specifically, a water storage temperature probe is arranged in the water storage tank to obtain the water storage temperature of the water storage tank based on the water storage temperature probe.

[0051] Specifically, when the water storage temperature does not meet the preset water storage temperature threshold, the water storage heater is started to heat the water stored in the water storage tank, and during the heating process, the water storage temperature is continuously monitored. Once the preset water storage temperature threshold is reached, the water storage heater is immediately stopped from heating the water to prevent energy waste caused by overheating.

[0052] Specifically, the preset dead-band temperature is a parameter that allows the stored water temperature to fluctuate within a certain range; when the stored water temperature drops from the preset stored water temperature threshold to the dead-band temperature, it means that the stored water temperature in the water storage tank is insufficient, and at this time, the re-heating program needs to be started; this control method based on the dead-band temperature can not only avoid triggering heating due to frequent small temperature fluctuations, reduce the start-stop times of the heater, and extend the service life of the equipment, but also ensure that heat is replenished in time when the stored water temperature actually drops to a level that may affect the quality of hot water supply, providing users with continuous and stable hot water. Especially for users with a large number of family members and strong continuity of bathing time, it effectively guarantees a comfortable user experience and achieves a good balance between energy conservation and practicality.

[0053] Preferably, users can set the stored water temperature and the dead-band temperature according to the household water usage situation; if there are few family members and the bathing time is not continuous, the stored water temperature can be set lower, and at the same time, the temperature difference between the preset stored water temperature and the dead-band temperature can be set larger, which can reduce the waste of energy for heat storage and save electricity; if there are more family members and the bathing time is highly continuous, the stored water temperature can be set higher, and the temperature difference between the preset stored water temperature and the dead-band temperature can be set smaller.

[0054] In an embodiment, when it is detected that the energy storage heat exchange water heater has no fault and the water volume in the water storage tank meets the preset water volume threshold of the water storage tank, the water valve is used to detect the water usage demand of the energy storage heat exchange water heater; when it is detected based on the water valve that the current water flow rate meets the preset water flow rate threshold, it is determined that there is a current water usage demand.

[0055] Specifically, after the water heater is powered on and the fault and the water volume in the water storage tank are detected, the water valve is always in a detection state to detect whether someone uses hot water. When the water valve detects that there is water flow passing through, by comparing the current water flow rate with the preset water flow rate threshold, and when the current water flow rate is not less than the preset water flow rate threshold, it is determined that there is a current water usage demand. At this time, the sensor inside the water valve will convert the water flow signal into an electrical signal and transmit it to the control system of the energy storage heat exchange water heater, thereby triggering the energy storage heat exchange water heater to start the constant temperature program; this detection method based on the water valve is simple, direct, accurate and efficient, can quickly capture the user's water usage intention, realize the rapid switching of the system from the standby state to the working state, and ensure that users can obtain hot water at an appropriate temperature in a timely manner.

[0056] In an embodiment, when calculating the required instantaneous power based on the current inlet water temperature, the current water flow rate and the preset temperature, by calculating the temperature difference between the current inlet water temperature and the preset temperature, inputting the temperature difference and the current water flow rate into a preset required instantaneous power calculation formula, the required instantaneous power is calculated, where the preset required instantaneous power calculation formula is as follows:

[0057] ;

[0058] Wherein, is the instantaneous power, is the specific heat capacity of water, is the water flow rate per unit time, is the temperature difference between the set temperature and the inlet water temperature, is the unit time.

[0059] In one embodiment, when calculating the instantaneous power of the instant water heater based on the current voltage and current of the energy storage heat exchange water heater, the product of the current voltage and the current is calculated, and this product is used as the instantaneous power of the instant water heater.

[0060] Step 102: If the required instantaneous power is greater than the instantaneous power of the instant water heater, turn on the instant water heater, calculate the first adjustment power based on the required instantaneous power, and adjust the position of the mixing valve based on the first mixing valve adjustment ratio corresponding to the first adjustment power.

[0061] In one embodiment, when the required instantaneous power is greater than the instantaneous power of the instant water heater, it indicates that relying solely on the current power of the instant water heater cannot meet the requirement of quickly heating the water to the preset temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the mixing valve and turn on the instant water heater at the same time.

[0062] In one embodiment, when calculating the first adjustment power based on the required instantaneous power and adjusting the position of the mixing valve based on the first mixing valve adjustment ratio corresponding to the first adjustment power, the product of the preset target ratio and the required instantaneous power is calculated, and this product is used as the first adjustment power; obtain a preset mixing valve adjustment parameter association table, wherein the mixing valve adjustment parameter association table includes multiple groups of powers and the mixing valve adjustment ratios corresponding to each of the multiple groups of powers; perform a traversal process on the mixing valve adjustment parameter association table based on the first adjustment power, determine the first target power in the mixing valve adjustment parameter association table that matches the first adjustment power, and obtain the first target mixing valve adjustment ratio corresponding to the first target power, and use the first target mixing valve adjustment ratio as the first mixing valve adjustment ratio corresponding to the first adjustment power.

[0063] Specifically, the preset target ratio is 95%. When the required instantaneous power is P, 95%P is used as the first adjustment power.

[0064] Preferably, the preset target ratio can also be set to other target ratio values according to user requirements.

[0065] Specifically, the function of the mixing valve is to adjust the ratio of the water heated by the heat storage tank to the cold water, and can accurately control the mixing water temperature. Therefore, establish the correlation table of the mixing valve adjustment parameters in advance, and record the relationship between different power values and their corresponding mixing valve adjustment ratios through the correlation table of the mixing valve adjustment parameters. This relationship can be obtained through experimental tests. So that after calculating the first adjustment power, the first target mixing valve adjustment ratio can be quickly determined through the correlation table of the mixing valve adjustment parameters, enabling the adjustment of the mixing valve to be based on the real-time required instantaneous power, thereby more accurately controlling the cold and hot water mixing ratio and helping to quickly reach and stably output the water temperature expected by the user.

[0066] Specifically, when adjusting the position of the mixing valve based on the first mixing valve adjustment ratio corresponding to the first adjustment power, adjust the valve core position of the mixing valve according to the first mixing valve adjustment ratio to change the cross-sectional areas of the hot water channel and the cold water channel in the mixing valve, thereby realizing the mixing of cold and hot water in the corresponding proportion, meeting the user's demand for water temperature, preliminarily stabilizing the outlet water temperature, and providing a good starting state for the subsequent fine adjustment based on the PID algorithm.

[0067] Step 103: Calculate the temperature difference between the current outlet water temperature and the preset temperature. Based on the temperature difference, use the PID algorithm to correct the first mixing valve adjustment ratio, and adjust the position of the mixing valve based on the corrected mixing valve adjustment ratio until the current outlet water temperature meets the preset temperature.

[0068] In one embodiment, when using the PID algorithm to correct the first mixing valve adjustment ratio, obtain the initial proportional coefficient, initial integral coefficient, and initial derivative coefficient of the PID controller; perform optimization processing on the initial proportional coefficient, the initial integral coefficient, and the initial derivative coefficient based on the temperature difference to obtain the optimized proportional coefficient, optimized integral coefficient, and optimized derivative coefficient; input the temperature difference, the optimized proportional coefficient, the optimized integral coefficient, and the optimized derivative coefficient into the PID controller, so that the PID controller outputs a proportional adjustment amount, and correct the first mixing valve adjustment ratio based on the proportional adjustment amount to obtain the corrected mixing valve adjustment ratio.

[0069] Specifically, the initial proportional coefficient of the PID controller 、initial integral coefficient and initial derivative coefficient It is determined based on the theoretical modeling and empirical estimation of the water heater system; these coefficients have different functions in the control process; among them, the proportional coefficient mainly adjusts the control signal proportionally according to the difference between the set temperature and the actual outlet water temperature; for example, when the temperature difference is large, the mixing valve adjustment ratio is increased to quickly respond to the temperature deviation; the integral coefficient is used to accumulate past temperature deviations, and its function is to eliminate the steady-state error of the system. Even if the temperature difference is small, but if there is a continuous deviation, the integral term will continuously accumulate, causing the mixing valve to gradually adjust to a more appropriate position to ensure that the final outlet water temperature can accurately reach the set temperature; the differential coefficient focuses on the rate of change of the temperature difference. When the temperature changes too fast, a control signal will be generated to suppress this rapid change, prevent temperature overshoot, and make the water temperature approach the set temperature more smoothly.

[0070] Specifically, when optimizing the initial proportional coefficient, the initial integral coefficient, and the initial differential coefficient based on the temperature difference, adjustments are made in combination with factors such as the magnitude of the current temperature difference, the change trend, and the running time of the system; for example, if the temperature difference remains at a large value for a period of time and shows no tendency to decrease, the proportional coefficient and the integral coefficient may be appropriately increased to accelerate the adjustment speed and eliminate errors; at the same time, if the rate of change of the temperature difference suddenly increases, the differential coefficient may be correspondingly increased to enhance the stability of the system.

[0071] Preferably, when optimizing the initial proportional coefficient, the initial integral coefficient, and the initial differential coefficient based on the temperature difference, a fuzzy controller can be used to optimize the initial proportional coefficient, the initial integral coefficient, and the initial differential coefficient.

[0072] Preferably, the temperature difference, the initial proportional coefficient, the initial integral coefficient, and the initial differential coefficient are input into the fuzzy controller so that the fuzzy controller outputs the change amount of the proportional coefficient, the change amount of the integral coefficient, and the change amount of the differential coefficient. The change amount of the proportional coefficient is added to the initial proportional coefficient to obtain the optimized proportional coefficient; the change amount of the integral coefficient is added to the initial integral coefficient to obtain the optimized integral coefficient; the change amount of the differential coefficient is added to the initial differential coefficient to obtain the optimized differential coefficient.

[0073] Specifically, the real-time temperature difference, the optimized proportional coefficient, the optimized integral coefficient, and the optimized differential coefficient are input into the PID controller. The PID controller will calculate according to its internal mathematical model, and this calculation process comprehensively considers the functions of the proportional, integral, and differential links. For example, the proportional link calculates a preliminary adjustment amount based on the optimized proportional coefficient and the current temperature difference; the integral link calculates an additional adjustment amount based on the optimized integral coefficient and the accumulation of temperature deviations over a period of time in the past; the differential link calculates an adjustment amount to suppress overshoot or accelerate approaching the set temperature based on the optimized differential coefficient and the change rate of the temperature difference. Finally, the adjustment amounts of these three links are added together to obtain the correction mixing valve adjustment ratio. By continuously repeating this process, that is, continuously monitoring the temperature difference and the correction mixing valve adjustment ratio, the outlet water temperature gradually approaches and finally reaches the set temperature, achieving a stable constant temperature state and providing comfortable hot water supply for users.

[0074] In one embodiment, when the required instantaneous power is greater than the instantaneous power of the instant water heater and the instant water heater is turned on, the power of the instant water heater can be further adjusted to achieve the effect of rapid constant temperature through the adjustment of the instant water heater power and the position of the mixing valve.

[0075] In one embodiment, if the required instantaneous power is not greater than the instantaneous power of the instant water heater, the second mixing valve adjustment ratio corresponding to the required instantaneous power is obtained, and the position of the mixing valve is adjusted based on the second mixing valve adjustment ratio.

[0076] Specifically, if the required instantaneous power is not greater than the instantaneous power of the instant water heater, it means that the current heating capacity of the instant water heater is sufficient to meet the demand for heating water to the set temperature. Therefore, there is no need to additionally turn on the instant water heater, but instead, the mixing valve is directly adjusted to achieve rapid constant temperature.

[0077] Specifically, when obtaining the second mixing valve adjustment ratio corresponding to the required instantaneous power, by obtaining a preset mixing valve adjustment parameter association table, where the mixing valve adjustment parameter association table includes multiple sets of powers and the mixing valve adjustment ratios corresponding to the multiple sets of powers respectively; traversing the mixing valve adjustment parameter association table based on the required instantaneous power, determining the second target power in the mixing valve adjustment parameter association table that matches the required instantaneous power, and obtaining the second target mixing valve adjustment ratio corresponding to the second target power, and taking the second target mixing valve adjustment ratio as the second mixing valve adjustment ratio corresponding to the required instantaneous power.

[0078] Specifically, when adjusting the position of the mixing valve based on the second mixing valve adjustment ratio corresponding to the required instantaneous power, the spool position of the mixing valve is adjusted according to the second mixing valve adjustment ratio, so as to change the cross-sectional areas of the hot water channel and the cold water channel in the mixing valve, thereby realizing the mixing of cold and hot water in the corresponding proportion, meeting the user's demand for water temperature, initially stabilizing the outlet water temperature, and providing a good starting state for the subsequent fine adjustment based on the PID algorithm.
