If the number of water replenishments is already very large and reaches a preset upper limit, the system stops further water replenishment and identifies the current water taking mode (e.g., quantitative water taking or non-quantitative water taking) to determine whether it is necessary to replenish water immediately to improve the state of frequent water replenishment. The system continuously monitors the water storage state in the current water taking mode and restarts water replenishment when a water shortage is detected. If the water shortage state occurs again, the system determines the water taking mode again.

The system can identify when water replenishment is needed and when water replenishment should be stopped, thereby avoiding waste of water resources and unnecessary water replenishment operations. By monitoring the water taking mode and the water shortage state in real time, the system can flexibly adjust the water replenishment strategy according to different water taking modes (quantitative water taking or non-quantitative water taking) and actual conditions (such as the average water inflow and the water outflow), ensuring that the pipeline machine always has sufficient water supply while avoiding frequent water replenishment, thereby reducing the damage caused by frequent water replenishment to the equipment and prolonging the service life of the equipment.

[0046] To make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, those skilled in the art can understand that, in the embodiments of the present application, many technical details are proposed in order to make the readers better understand the present application. However, the technical solutions claimed by the present application can be implemented even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments. The division of the following embodiments is for the convenience of description, and should not constitute any limitation on the specific implementation of the present application, and the embodiments can be combined and referenced with each other on the premise of no contradiction.

[0047] With the improvement of living standards, especially in terms of drinking water, in order to facilitate daily life, there are pipeline machines that can instantly take hot water and quantitatively dispense water on the market. After the filtered water from the water purifier is connected to the pipeline machine, the instant hot water and water quantity dispensing functions of the drinking water are realized.

[0048] The pipeline machine has a fixed water storage tank, and has full water level and low water level detection. When the user uses water, if it is detected that the water in the water tank does not reach the full water level, the pipeline machine will control to replenish water, and when the water tank reaches the low water level, it will report a water shortage protection. At the same time, the pipeline machine has devices that can control the water inflow and outflow (such as electric ball valves, solenoid valves, etc.), which can set different power or on-off control water inflow and outflow, and can have devices that can detect water inflow and outflow (such as flow meters, etc.).

[0049] In order to provide stable water outflow, the pipeline machine has a fixed water storage tank, and has full water level and low water level detection. When the user uses water, if it is detected that the water in the water tank does not reach the full water level, the pipeline machine will control to replenish water, and when the water tank reaches the low water level, it will report a water shortage protection. However, the water outflow of the water purifier or other water purification equipment on the market is different and has a large difference, which will cause the water outflow of the pipeline machine to be inconsistent with the water inflow.

[0050] The water capacity of the pipeline machine is fixed. When the water tank water inflow is much greater than the water outflow, the water tank water replenishment time is faster than the water outflow time, the water tank is filled with water, but the water outflow is not enough to replenish the water flow, and therefore, the water replenishment is frequently started and stopped during the water taking process. When the water tank water inflow is much smaller than the water outflow, the water outflow is greater than the inflow, the water outflow of the pipeline machine is interrupted or the water shortage protection occurs, and the user's water taking is affected. The frequent water replenishment or water shortage interruption affects the user experience and reduces the service life and reliability of the pipeline machine device.

[0051] In order to solve the technical problems of frequent water replenishment or water shortage interruption, which reduce the service life and reliability of the pipeline machine device, the present application provides a water replenishment control method of a pipeline machine. The implementation details of the water replenishment control method of the pipeline machine of the present embodiment will be described below. The following content is only provided for the convenience of understanding the implementation details, and is not necessary for the implementation of the present solution.

[0052] Embodiment one:

[0053] The water replenishment control method of the pipeline machine of the present embodiment can be applied to an electronic device with communication, calculation and data storage capabilities. The specific process can be as shown in Figure 1 , which includes:

[0054] Step 110: obtaining the number of water replenishments of the pipeline machine within a target time period of one-time water taking reaching a preset water volume, wherein the water replenishment is to replenish the water tank of the pipeline machine to a full water state;

[0055] In the present embodiment, the pipeline machine is used with a water purifier after starting. In the normal use process, in order to detect whether there is frequent water replenishment, the actual number of water replenishments within a target time period of one-time water taking reaching a preset water volume is detected. The value of the preset water volume can be determined according to actual needs. In order to make it more convenient to observe, the preset water volume is set to 500ml in the present embodiment. Correspondingly, the target time period is a period of time spent when one-time water taking reaches 500ml.

[0056] Within the target time period, the water level change of the water tank is monitored in real time by the control system of the pipeline machine, and the number of times that the water tank is replenished from a non-full water state to a full water state each time is recorded. The recorded number of water replenishments is stored in the database of the system for subsequent analysis and processing.

[0057] Step 120: obtaining the average water inflow of the target time period when the number of water replenishments is greater than a preset number threshold;

[0058] In the present embodiment, the water inflow Q 进 , the water outflow Q 出and the amount of water in the water tank. When the one-time water output meets the preset water amount, such as 500ml of water amount, the water filling is started in the process of detecting the insufficient water. When the cumulative cycle of stopping water filling after detecting full water exceeds X times (i.e. the preset number threshold), it is considered that the water filling flow rate is too large compared with the water output flow rate, and the phenomenon of frequent water replenishment occurs. At this time, the water filling average flow rate Q 进 in the target time period is calculated by using the real-time obtained water filling flow rate Q a .

[0059] The preset number threshold is set according to the actual situation, and different water tank capacities can correspond to different number thresholds. For example, when the water tank capacity is 1000ml, the corresponding number threshold is 4 times, and when the water tank capacity is 2000ml, the number threshold is set to 3 times.

[0060] In some optional embodiments, the water filling average flow rate in the target time period is obtained by: in the target time period when the one-time water output reaches the preset water amount, obtaining a first water filling flow rate each time after taking out a first water amount, wherein the first water amount is less than the preset water amount; and calculating the average value of each first water filling flow rate to obtain the water filling average flow rate in the target time period.

[0061] In this embodiment, the water filling average flow rate Q a is calculated as follows: Q 进1 =∑Q 进n / n, where n is the number of obtained first water filling flow rates.

[0062] For example, the first water amount can be set to 100ml, and the real-time water filling flow rate Q 进1 is obtained each time 100ml of water is taken out. When the water amount reaches the preset water amount of 500ml, a total of 5 first water filling flow rates are obtained, which are Q 进1 ~Q 进5 . The average value of the 5 first water filling flow rates is calculated to obtain the water filling average flow rate.

[0063] The water filling average flow rate is calculated by the above-mentioned average value calculation method, so that the current water filling speed of the pipeline machine can be more accurately understood, and a more reliable reference basis can be provided for the subsequent adaptive water replenishment process.

[0064] Step 130: When the number of water replenishments reaches the upper limit of the number of one-time water outputs, if the insufficient water state occurs again, stop water replenishment, determine the water taking mode at this time, and start water replenishment when water shortage occurs in the water taking mode at this time, wherein the upper limit of the number is greater than or equal to the number threshold;

[0065] In this embodiment, the preset upper limit of the number of times is greater than or equal to the number of times threshold, for example, the number of times threshold is 5, and the upper limit of the number of times is 5, 7 or 10, etc., which is determined according to actual conditions, and is not limited here. When the number of times of water replenishment reaches the upper limit of the number of times, but the water tank still cannot maintain the full water state, the system needs to stop further water replenishment operation to avoid wasting water resources and damaging the equipment. At the same time, the system needs to determine the current water taking mode (such as quantitative water taking, non-quantitative water taking, etc.), and restart the water replenishment operation when the water shortage state is detected.

[0066] It should be noted that at this time the pipeline machine has just terminated the frequent water replenishment state. Frequent water replenishment means that the water inflow speed is much greater than the water outflow speed, so even if the water replenishment action is stopped, due to the large water inflow speed, it will not immediately cause the water tank to be out of water. Therefore, when the number of times of water replenishment reaches the upper limit of the number of times, the system stops the water replenishment operation, and detects the water taking mode set by the user or determines the current water taking mode according to the water taking behavior of the user. Under the current water taking mode, the system comprehensively judges whether the water taking demand of the user can be met by comprehensively judging the remaining water amount in the water tank and the current water inflow speed. If yes, no water replenishment is performed, and if no, water replenishment is performed.

[0067] Step 140, when the water tank is not full again, determine the water taking mode at this time, if the water taking mode at this time is non-quantitative water taking, determine whether to start water replenishment according to the difference between the average water inflow rate and the water outflow rate at this time.

[0068] In this embodiment, when the water tank is not full again, it indicates that water replenishment has been performed at step 130. After that, the user takes water, which causes the water tank to be not full again. It can be understood that the stop of water replenishment and the start of water replenishment in step 130 can be realized by simple signal control, and in this step, it is necessary to determine whether the system at this time can meet the water taking demand of the user according to the difference between the average water inflow rate and the water outflow rate at this time.

[0069] In the non-quantitative water taking mode, the user may continuously take water from the pipeline machine, causing the water level of the water tank to change continuously. At this time, the system needs to determine whether to start the water replenishment operation according to the difference between the average water inflow rate and the water outflow rate. If the average water inflow rate is greater than the water outflow rate, the water outflow can be ensured to be continuous, so water replenishment can not be started to reduce equipment wear and tear; if the average water inflow rate is less than the water outflow rate, there is a risk of insufficient water supply, so water replenishment needs to be started to meet the water taking demand of the user. Through this method, the effect of unnecessary water replenishment is realized.

[0070] In summary, the water replenishment control method of the pipeline machine provided in the embodiment records the number of water replenishments of the pipeline machine in a period of time when the pipeline machine starts to dispense water and reaches a preset water amount. If the number of water replenishments exceeds a preset reasonable number (i.e., the number threshold) in the period of time, the system further calculates and obtains the average water inflow in the period of time to understand the stability or efficiency of the water supply. If the number of water replenishments is already very large and reaches the preset upper limit, the system stops further water replenishment and identifies the current water taking mode (e.g., quantitative water taking or non-quantitative water taking) to determine whether it is necessary to replenish water immediately to improve the frequent water replenishment state. The system continuously monitors the water storage state in the current water taking mode and restarts water replenishment when a water shortage is detected. If the water shortage occurs again, the system determines the water taking mode again. If it is a non-quantitative water taking mode at this time, the system compares the average water inflow calculated in the foregoing with the current water outflow to determine whether to start water replenishment.

[0071] The application can more effectively manage the water replenishment process by accurately calculating the number of water replenishments and the water inflow. The system can identify when water replenishment is needed and when water replenishment should be stopped, thereby avoiding waste of water resources and unnecessary water replenishment operations. By monitoring the water taking mode and the water shortage state in real time, the water replenishment strategy can be flexibly adjusted according to different water taking modes (quantitative water taking or non-quantitative water taking) and actual conditions (such as the average water inflow and the water outflow), ensuring that the pipeline machine is always supplied with sufficient water while avoiding frequent water replenishment, thereby reducing damage to the equipment caused by frequent water replenishment and prolonging the service life of the equipment.

[0072] In some optional embodiments, the determining the water taking mode at this time until detecting a water shortage in the water taking mode at this time to start water replenishment comprises: when it is determined that the water taking mode at this time is quantitative water taking, obtaining the water outflow at this time, calculating the remaining water amount of the water tank in real time according to the water outflow; calculating the remaining water outflow of the quantitative water taking according to the water outflow; if the remaining water amount of the water tank is less than or equal to the remaining water outflow, determining that there is a water shortage and starting water replenishment, and if the remaining water amount of the water tank is greater than the remaining water outflow, not starting water replenishment.

[0073] In the embodiment, the frequent water replenishment is detected in step 110, and water has been taken all the time. Therefore, when the system determines that the water taking mode at this time is quantitative water taking, the remaining water outflow of the quantitative water taking process can be calculated. Therefore, as long as the remaining water amount of the water tank can meet the requirement of the remaining water outflow, the water taking can be avoided from being short of water, and the frequent water replenishment can also be avoided.

[0074] For example, the fixed water volume of the water tank is 1000ml, and the current water volume is 500ml. If 200ml of water has been dispensed, then the remaining water volume is 300ml (500-200ml), and the remaining water volume in the water tank is 800ml (1000-200ml). Comparing the remaining water volume in the water tank (800ml) with the remaining water volume for dispensing (300ml), it is found that the former is greater than the latter, so no water needs to be added, otherwise water needs to be added.

[0075] In some optional embodiments, the determining of the current water dispensing mode until detecting that water shortage occurs in the current water dispensing mode to start water addition includes: when it is determined that the current water dispensing mode is non-quantitative water dispensing, water addition is started until the water in the water tank reaches the preset water shortage state, otherwise, water addition is not started.

[0076] In this embodiment, if the current water dispensing is non-quantitative water dispensing, because the water tank has been in the frequent water addition state before, the current water inflow rate is much greater than the water outflow rate (or the water inflow volume is greater than the water outflow volume), which can ensure that the water tank is not empty, so even if the water tank is not filled to the full water state, the user's water demand can be met.

[0077] In subsequent daily use, the water inflow volume and the water outflow volume may change, and the water inflow volume may be less than the water outflow volume, or the water tank may leak. In this case, the water in the water tank will gradually decrease until it reaches the preset low water level, and the system will detect that the water in the water tank reaches the preset water shortage state. At this time, water addition is started again, and the user's water demand can be met.

[0078] In some optional embodiments, the determining of whether to start water addition according to the difference between the water inflow average volume and the current water outflow volume includes: when the water inflow average volume is less than or equal to the current water outflow volume, water addition is started; when the water inflow average volume is greater than the current water outflow volume, water addition is started until water shortage is detected, otherwise, water addition is not started.

[0079] In this embodiment, if the water inflow average volume is less than or equal to the current water outflow volume, it means that the water supply speed is insufficient to meet the user's water demand, or the water tank has a problem such as water leakage that causes the water volume to decrease. In this case, the system should immediately start the water addition operation to ensure that there is enough water in the water tank for the user to use.

[0080] If the average inflow rate is greater than the current outflow rate, it means that the water supply speed is sufficient, at least at the current time, and the water in the tank will not be quickly reduced to a dangerous level due to the user's water taking. Therefore, in this case, the system does not need to immediately start the water replenishment operation. However, even if the average inflow rate is greater than the outflow rate, the system still needs to continuously monitor the water level in the tank. Once it is detected that the water level has dropped below the preset water shortage threshold (i.e., a water shortage state occurs), the system should immediately start the water replenishment operation to avoid the situation where the user has no water available.

[0081] It should be noted that the average inflow rate Q a will be continuously updated according to the actual use. For example, when the next time the frequent water replenishment phenomenon occurs again, the process of steps 110 and 120 is repeated to calculate a new average inflow rate Q a , and the new average inflow rate Q a is compared with the outflow rate to determine whether water replenishment needs to be started.

[0082] In some optional embodiments, after determining the water taking mode at the time when the water shortage state occurs again, the method further includes: if the water taking mode at the time is quantitative water taking, determining whether the remaining water amount in the tank at the time is greater than the water taking amount selected by the user at the time; when the remaining water amount in the tank at the time is greater than the water taking amount selected by the user at the time, not starting water replenishment; and when the remaining water amount in the tank at the time is less than or equal to the water taking amount selected by the user at the time, starting water replenishment.

[0083] In this embodiment, when the water shortage state occurs again and it is confirmed that the water taking mode at the time is quantitative water taking, the water taking amount selected by the user at the time is directly compared with the remaining water amount in the tank to predict whether the current water taking can meet the user's one-time water taking demand. When the remaining water amount in the tank is greater than the water taking amount selected by the user at the time, the user's one-time water taking demand can be met, and water replenishment is not started to reduce the number of water replenishments as much as possible; otherwise, water replenishment is performed to meet the user's habitual water replenishment demand. Thus, the effect of unnecessary water replenishment is further strengthened, which helps to prolong the service life of the pipeline machine.

[0084] In some optional embodiments, the method further includes: detecting whether the pipeline machine reaches a water shortage alarm state within a target time period of one-time water taking reaching a preset water amount; and when the water shortage alarm state is reached, stopping water taking until the tank is replenished to a full water state.

[0085] In this embodiment, the pipeline machine detects the water tank condition during water taking. If the pipeline machine is in a water shortage warning state within the preset water quantity (e.g. 500 ml of water output), it is considered that the water inflow is too small to meet the water taking condition. An alarm is given, and water output is stopped. The next time water is taken, the water tank needs to be filled to the full water level before water can be taken. In this way, the situation of no water available for taking during water taking is avoided as much as possible, and stable water taking guarantee is provided for the user.

[0086] In some optional embodiments, the detection of whether the pipeline machine reaches the water shortage warning state includes: detecting whether the number of water shortage alarms reaches a preset alarm number threshold or the water shortage state maintenance time reaches a preset time threshold within a target time period of one-time water output reaching the preset water quantity. For example, if the water tank frequently reaches the water shortage state for more than Y times or the water shortage state is maintained for less than Z time during water taking, it is considered that the water inflow is too small to meet the water taking condition. An alarm is given for water taking, and water output is stopped. The next time water is taken, the water tank needs to be filled to the full water level before water can be taken. The values of Y and Z are determined according to actual use requirements, and are not limited here.

[0087] Embodiment Two:

[0088] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, this embodiment provides an application example of a water replenishment control method of a pipeline machine. The overall water replenishment control process is as shown in Figure 2 It should be noted that the scheme of this embodiment is an improvement based on the control method of the pipeline machine product. In addition to being applied to the pipeline machine product, the control logic can also be applied to other product series that are common to the principle, such as a pure water machine and a boiled water machine.

[0089] The entire water replenishment process is divided into three stages, namely a self-learning detection stage, a self-adaptive frequent water replenishment control stage, and a frequent water shortage control stage. The specific control logic of each stage is as follows:

[0090] After the pipeline machine is turned on and used with a water purifier, the water inflow Q 进 , the water outflow Q 出 , the real-time water quantity of the water tank, and the full water quantity L 满 of the water tank can be detected in real time during normal use, and can be controlled to enter the self-adaptive water replenishment and water output mode.

[0091] Step One, Self-learning Detection Stage

[0092] Pipeline machine in the process of taking water, detection of water tank water, in a one-time water to meet Yml water volume time, detection of water start water times, in the detection of full water stop water cumulative cycle more than X1 times, it is considered that the water flow is much larger than the water flow, resulting in frequent water phenomenon, affect the user experience, and affect the whole machine use reliability problem. After recording the average water flow Q a (100ml take real-time flow rate Q 进1 , Q a =∑Q 进1 ~Q 进n / n), while entering the next stage.

[0093] Step two, adaptive frequent water control stage

[0094] In the frequent water and reach the one-time water when the preset upper limit X2 times (or in a one-time water to meet Yml water volume of time period, the last water after full water. X2 is greater than or equal to X1), the next time not full water, not immediately start water, while starting to record the real-time water L 实时 (L 实时 = water time T 实时 *Q 出 ), while real-time calculation of the remaining water in the tank L 剩 (L 剩 =L 满 -L 实时 ).

[0095] After confirming whether this time is a quantitative water. If this time is a quantitative water, calculate the remaining water volume of this time, compare the remaining water volume with the remaining water in the tank. If the remaining water volume is less than the remaining water in the tank, this time does not water, otherwise immediately water to full water.

[0096] If this time is not quantitative water, then until the water is detected to start water (at this time, the water flow is greater than the water flow, which can ensure continuous water), otherwise do not start water.

[0097] When the next time to start taking water again, when the user button is pressed to take water to determine whether it is quantitative water. If it is quantitative water, it is determined whether the remaining water in the tank L 剩 whether to meet the user's choice of water volume at this time, if it is satisfied, do not start water, otherwise water to full level.

[0098] If it is not quantitative water, it is determined whether Q a is greater than the water flow Q 出 at this time, if Q a is greater than the water flow Q 出If water is detected, water replenishment is started (at this time, the water inflow is greater than the water outflow, which can ensure continuous water outflow), otherwise, water replenishment to full water is started immediately.

[0099] It should be noted that the average water inflow Q a will be updated continuously according to actual use. For example, when the next frequent water replenishment phenomenon occurs again, the above steps one and two are repeated, a new average water inflow Q a is calculated, and the new average water inflow Q a is compared with the water outflow to determine whether water replenishment needs to be started.

[0100] Step three, control stage when frequent water shortage

[0101] When the water tank of the pipeline machine frequently reaches water shortage for more than Y times or is maintained in a water shortage state for more than Z time during water taking, it is considered that the water inflow is too small to meet the water taking condition, and an alarm is given for water taking, and water outflow is stopped at the same time. The next time water taking needs to be replenished to full water before water taking.

[0102] In summary, the embodiment accurately calculates the number of water replenishment and the water inflow, thereby more effectively managing the water replenishment process. The system can identify when water replenishment is needed and when water replenishment should be stopped, thereby avoiding waste of water resources and unnecessary water replenishment operations. By monitoring the water taking mode and the water shortage state in real time, the water replenishment strategy can be flexibly adjusted according to different water taking modes (quantitative water taking or non-quantitative water taking) and actual conditions (such as average water inflow and water outflow), ensuring that the pipeline machine always has sufficient water supply while avoiding frequent water replenishment, achieving the effect of "unnecessary, no water replenishment", thereby significantly reducing the damage caused by frequent water replenishment to the equipment and prolonging the service life of the equipment.
