[0043] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0044] The method for increasing the pressure of water outlet of a water heater provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a system for increasing the pressure of water outlet of a water heater. Figure 1 As shown, the water heater outlet pressure boosting system includes a water heater 101 and three signal transmitting modules 102. The water heater 101 is provided with a signal receiving module 1011. The signal receiving module 1011 is respectively connected to the controller of the water heater 101 and the plurality of signal transmitting modules 102. The three signal transmitting modules 102 are respectively provided at three water outlet points of the household pipeline. The three water outlet points are connected to the water outlet pipeline of the water heater 101.

[0045] The water heater 101 is used to respond to the user's water point opening operation and start running. The controller receives the first water use signal sent by the first signal transmission module through the signal receiving module 1011. After receiving the first water use signal, the controller detects the water flow corresponding to the first water use signal. The controller determines whether to turn on the water pump of the water heater based on the water flow and the preset water flow threshold. During operation, the controller determines the current number of water points opened based on the number of water use signals received by the signal receiving module 1011. Based on the current number of water points opened and whether the water pump is turned on based on the first water use signal, the controller determines the target operating speed of the water pump, and controls the water pump to operate at the target operating speed for boosting.

[0046] The signal transmitting module 102 is used to send a water use signal to the signal receiving module 1011 when the user opens the water use point.

[0047] The following will describe in detail a method for increasing the pressure of water outlet from a water heater provided in an embodiment of the present application in conjunction with a specific implementation method. Figure 2 A flow chart of a method for increasing the pressure of water outlet from a water heater provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the specific steps are as follows:

[0048] Step 201, in response to the user's water point opening operation, the water heater starts to operate, and the controller receives a first water use signal sent by a first signal transmitting module through a signal receiving module.

[0049] In practice, when using a gas water heater, users often open multiple water outlets. When multiple water outlets are opened at the same time, the water pressure of the water outlets is low, which affects the user's experience. Therefore, when there are many water outlets, the gas water heater needs to be pressurized so that the water pressure of multiple water outlets can be maintained. In the prior art, the boost control requires the user to manually operate the boost, and regardless of the number of water outlets, the speed of the water pump after boosting is single and fixed, and it is impossible to perform intelligent boosting according to the number of water outlets opened. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of poor user experience caused by insufficient water pressure when multiple water outlets are opened at the same time, and the gas water heater is in any state during the whole operation process, the user does not need to press the boost button on the water heater operation control module. The water heater can receive the signal of the water outlet signal transmission module, and the controller of the water heater actively starts the water pump and increases the running speed of the water pump, thereby realizing intelligent boosting and improving the user's comfort. When the user opens the water outlet to use water at the beginning, the water heater starts to discharge water, and the controller receives the first water use signal sent by the first signal transmission module through the signal receiving module. At this time, the water pump of the water heater has not been turned on, and only one water point is using water. Therefore, it is not necessary to turn on the water pump to increase the pressure and increase the water output. The subsequent steps can detect the water flow rate and determine whether it is necessary to turn on the water pump for pressure increase. Therefore, in response to the user's water point opening operation, the water heater starts to run, and the controller receives the first water use signal sent by the first signal transmitting module through the signal receiving module. Among them, the first signal transmitting module is the first signal transmitting module that receives the water point opening after the water heater is running and sends a water use signal to the controller.

[0050] Step 202: After receiving the first water usage signal, the controller detects the water flow rate corresponding to the first water usage signal.

[0051] During implementation, after the controller receives the first water use signal sent by the first signal transmitting module, it detects the water flow rate of the water pipe through the water flow sensor or pressure sensor of the water heater, and then determines whether it is necessary to turn on the water pump for pressurization after the first water use point is opened based on the water flow rate.

[0052] Step 203: The controller determines whether to start the water pump of the water heater according to the water flow rate and a preset water flow rate threshold.

[0053] In implementation, after the controller detects the water flow rate of the first water use point, it can compare the water flow rate with the preset water flow rate threshold to determine whether the water flow rate of the first water use point meets the user's water demand. The preset water flow rate threshold is a value set according to the user's water demand. If the user's water demand is not met, the water pump needs to be turned on for pressurization. If the user's water demand is met, the water pump does not need to be turned on. Therefore, the controller determines whether to turn on the water pump of the water heater based on the water flow rate and the preset water flow rate threshold.

[0054] Furthermore, the specific process of executing step 203 is as follows:

[0055] Step 1: The controller compares the water flow rate with a preset water flow rate threshold. If the water flow rate is greater than or equal to the preset water flow rate threshold, it is determined not to start the water pump of the water heater.

[0056] In implementation, the controller compares the water flow rate with the preset water flow rate threshold. If the water flow rate is greater than or equal to the preset water flow rate threshold, it means that the water flow rate of the first water point has met the user's needs before the water pump is turned on for pressurization. In other words, before the water pump is turned on for pressurization, the water output of the water outlet pipe is already very large, and it is necessary to turn on the water pump for pressurization to further increase the water output. Therefore, the controller compares the water flow rate with the preset water flow rate threshold. If the water flow rate is greater than or equal to the preset water flow rate threshold, it is determined not to turn on the water pump of the water heater.

[0057] Step 2: If the water flow rate is less than a preset water flow rate threshold, the controller determines to start the water pump of the water heater.

[0058] In implementation, the controller compares the water flow rate with the preset water flow rate threshold. If the water flow rate is less than the preset water flow rate threshold, it means that the water flow rate of the first water point cannot meet the user's water demand before the water pump is turned on for pressurization. In other words, before the water pump is turned on for pressurization, the water output of the water outlet pipe is small. At this time, the water pump needs to be turned on for pressurization to increase the water output to meet the user's water demand. Therefore, if the water flow rate is less than the preset water flow rate threshold, the controller determines to start the water pump of the water heater.

[0059] Step 204: During the operation of the water heater, the controller determines the number of water use points currently opened based on the number of water use signals received by the signal receiving module.

[0060] In implementation, after the user opens the first water point, the water heater starts to run. During the operation of the water heater, the more water points the user opens, the more water output the water heater needs, and the greater the water output pressure the water heater needs to increase. When the user opens the water point, the signal transmitting module set at the water point will send a water use signal to the signal receiving module. The number of water use signals received by the signal receiving module can be determined based on the number of water points opened by the user. Therefore, during the operation of the water heater, the controller can determine the current number of water points opened based on the number of water use signals received by the signal receiving module.

[0061] Further, the step of executing step 204 is: the controller determines the number of water use signals received by the signal receiving module as the current number of water use points opened.

[0062] In practice, the more water points the user opens, the greater the water outlet pressure the water heater needs to increase. Therefore, it is necessary to first determine the current number of water points opened, and then determine the operating speed of the water heater pump based on the current number of water points opened. Since, when the user opens a water point, the signal transmitting module set at the water point will send a water signal to the signal receiving module. Therefore, the controller determines the number of water signals received by the signal receiving module as the current number of water points opened.

[0063] Step 205 , according to the number of water use points currently opened and whether the water pump is turned on based on the first water use signal, the controller determines the target operating speed of the water pump, and controls the water pump to operate at the target operating speed for boosting.

[0064] In implementation, after the user opens the first water point, the water pump for boosting is not turned on based on the first water signal for water flow with a large amount of water, and the water pump is turned on for boosting only for water flow with a small amount of water. After the number of water points opened by subsequent users increases, in order to ensure the user's water demand, it is necessary to turn on the water pump for boosting. The more water points are opened, the higher the running speed of the water pump will be, so that the water pressure of the water outlet can be guaranteed. Then, when the number of water outlet points is opened, the running speed of the corresponding water pumps for water outlets with a large water flow and water outlets with a small water flow is also different. Therefore, when the number of water points opened is large, the controller can determine the target running speed of the water pump according to the current number of water points opened and whether the water pump is turned on based on the first water signal, and control the water pump to run at the target running speed for boosting.

[0065] Further, the process of executing step 205 is as follows:

[0066] Step A: If the water pump is turned on based on the first water use signal, the controller queries the target operating speed of the water pump corresponding to the current number of water use points opened in the first correspondence between the pre-stored number of water use points opened and the operating speed of the water pump.

[0067] In implementation, when the number of water outlets opened is large, the running speeds of the corresponding water pumps opened are also different for the water outlets with large water flow and the water outlets with small water flow. That is to say, when the number of water outlets opened is large, and the number of water outlets opened is the same, the running speed of the water pump corresponding to the water outlet with large water flow is less than the running speed of the water pump corresponding to the water outlet with small water flow. At the same time, when the user opens the first water point for the first time, it is determined whether to turn on the water pump according to the water flow of the water point. That is to say, when the number of water points opened is large, whether the water pump is turned on based on the first water signal can be divided into two methods for determining the running speed of the water pump. In the case where the water pump is turned on based on the first water signal, the technician opens the water points with different numbers of water points opened in advance, and then determines the running speed required by the water pump under the requirement of meeting the user's water demand, so that the first corresponding relationship between the number of water points opened and the running speed of the water pump is obtained. The controller stores the first corresponding relationship between the number of water points opened and the running speed of the water pump. During the operation of the water heater, when it is determined that the water pump wants to increase the pressure under the current number of water use points opened, the target operating speed of the corresponding water pump is required. If the water pump is turned on based on the first water use signal, the controller queries the target operating speed of the water pump corresponding to the current number of water use points opened in the first correspondence between the pre-stored number of water use points opened and the operating speed of the water pump.

[0068] Step B, if the water pump is not turned on based on the first water use signal, the controller queries the target operating speed of the water pump corresponding to the current number of water use points opened in the second correspondence between the pre-stored number of water use points opened and the operating speed of the water pump, and controls the water pump to operate at the target operating speed for boosting.

[0069] In implementation, when there are a large number of water points open, whether the water pump is turned on based on the first water signal can be divided into two methods for determining the running speed of the water pump. In the case where the water pump is not turned on based on the first water signal, the technician pre-opens the water points with different numbers of water points open, and then determines the required running speed of the water pump under the requirement of meeting the user's water demand. In this way, a second corresponding relationship between the number of water points opened and the running speed of the water pump is obtained. The controller stores the second corresponding relationship between the number of water points opened and the running speed of the water pump. During the operation of the water heater, when it is determined that the water pump needs to be pressurized under the current number of water points opened, the target running speed of the correspondingly opened water pump is required. If the water pump is not turned on based on the first water signal, the controller queries the target running speed of the water pump corresponding to the current number of water points opened in the pre-stored second corresponding relationship between the number of water points opened and the running speed of the water pump, and controls the water pump to run at the target running speed for pressurization.

[0070] For example, Figure 3 As shown, taking three water points as an example, when the user opens water point 1, the water heater enters the working state, and the controller monitors the water flow rate output by the current sensor signal, and compares the water flow rate with the preset threshold A. If the water flow rate is greater than or equal to the preset threshold A, the water pump is not started for pressurization. The water heater maintains the working state. Then water point 2 is opened by the user, and the water pump operates at the initial speed R1. Then the water heater maintains the working state. Water point 3 is opened, and the water pump speed is adjusted. At this time, the speed of the water pump is R2. R2 is greater than R1. If the water flow rate is less than or equal to the preset threshold A, the water pump is started for pressurization. At this time, the initial speed of the water pump is R3, and the water heater maintains the working state. Water point 2 is opened, the water pump speed is adjusted, and the speed is increased to R4. The water heater maintains the working state. Water point 3 is opened, the water pump speed is adjusted, and the speed is increased. At this time, the water pump speed is R5.

[0071] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for increasing the pressure of water outlet of a water heater. During the whole operation process of the water heater, no matter what state it is in, the user does not need to press the pressure increase button on the water heater operation control module, thereby improving the user experience. After the user opens the water outlet, by receiving the signal from the signal transmitting module of the water outlet, the water pump is actively started and the water pump speed is increased, thereby realizing intelligent pressure increase and improving the user's comfort. The problem of poor user experience caused by insufficient water outlet pressure when multiple water outlets are opened at the same time is solved.
