DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0064] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0066] In the embodiments of the present application, the words "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.
[0067] With the continuous development of science and technology, the functions of smart home appliances are constantly being updated. In order to meet people's ever-increasing living needs, various smart home appliances are constantly being innovated to provide people with a more efficient and convenient life.
[0068] Among them, the emergence of water heaters has gotten rid of the previous limitation of obtaining high-temperature water, and can provide users with water of suitable temperature at any time. In the existing technology, there are many types of water heaters, but due to the actual situation and usage habits in my country, gas water heaters are still the first choice for many consumers; in addition, solar water heaters are water heaters assembled with vacuum collector tubes, which can produce hot water when there is light, and can be widely used for household and industrial hot water. As a new energy product, solar water heaters are showing a strong development momentum because of their advantages of low energy consumption and low emissions.
[0069] However, the common water heater combination products in the industry are series products of solar water heaters + gas water heaters, but the series type must be modified and equipped with pipelines; most users only have solar water heaters installed in their homes, which are easily restricted by the external environment and cannot use hot water when the weather is bad; or users have both solar water heaters and gas water heaters installed in their homes, but when using them, they can only adjust the water use selection by manually changing the corresponding valves. The operating steps for adjusting the water use selection are cumbersome, resulting in a poor user experience; and when the user chooses to change the current water supply water heater, no matter what type of water heater is switched, the corresponding valve can only be changed manually.
[0070] In response to the above problems, the present application provides a water supply control method.
[0071] First, the implementation scenarios involved in this application are described.
[0072] As people's living standards improve, their requirements for comfort in family life are also getting higher and higher. The various electrical appliances that come with it not only facilitate human life, but also occupy a lot of space; for this reason, more and more multifunctional electrical appliances have entered people's lives. Water heaters are also experiencing technological innovation.
[0073] In the prior art, water heaters can be divided into electric water heaters, gas water heaters, solar water heaters, magnetic water heaters, air water heaters, heating water heaters, etc. according to different principles; and the main function of water heaters is to produce hot water. When water heaters first came into the user's field of vision, most users chose a single type of water heater to supply hot water for home use; with the continuous development of water heater technology, using only a single type of water heater can no longer meet the user's water needs. Therefore, combination water heaters are gradually being chosen by more and more users, that is, using water heaters with multiple different energy sources to supply hot water at the same time.
[0074] Users can choose the type of water heater used in the combination water heater according to their own preferences. At present, some users in the market have used the combination of solar energy + gas water heaters, air energy + heating furnaces, etc. This application does not impose any special restrictions on the type of water heater in the combination water heater.
[0075] Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the scenario of two water supply devices connected in parallel includes: a first water supply device 1, a second water supply device 2, a temperature detection device 3, a first control device 4, a second control device 5, a main control device 6 with a display screen, and a water use device 7.
[0076] It is understandable that the following embodiments of the present application do not impose special restrictions on the combined water supply device of the first water supply device and the second water supply device, wherein the type of water heater selected by the combined water supply device is selected by the user, and the water supply scheme when the combined water supply device supplies water can adopt the water supply control method shown in the following embodiments to achieve control of water supply devices of different energy types. The combined water supply device of the first water supply device and the second water supply device shown in this embodiment includes but is not limited to a parallel product of a solar water heater + a gas water heater. The following embodiments are specifically described using the parallel product of a solar water heater + a gas water heater as an example.
[0077] like Figure 1 As shown, the first water supply device 1 and the second water supply device 2 are connected in parallel to supply water to the water-using device 7, and the water-using device 7 is connected to the first water supply device and the second water supply device, respectively. The temperature detection device 3 is arranged between the first water supply device 1 and the water-using device 7, and the temperature detection device 3 is used to detect the outlet water temperature of the water outlet of the first water supply device; the first control device 4 is arranged at the water inlet of the first water supply device 1, and the first control device 4 is used to control whether the first water supply device 1 works; the second control device 5 is arranged at the water inlet of the second water supply device 2, and the second control device 5 is used to control whether the second water supply device 2 works; the main control device 6 is connected to the first control device 4 and the second control device 5 in communication, and the display interface of the main control device 6 is provided with a first control, a second control and a third control, the first control is used to control the first water supply device 1 and the second water supply device 2 to supply water to the water-using device 7, the second control is used to control the first water supply device 1 to supply water to the water-using device 7, and the third control is used to control the second water supply device 2 to supply water to the water-using device 7.
[0078] Among them, the first water supply device 1 can be set on the balcony, for example, and the second water supply device 2 can be set in the kitchen, for example. The main control device 6 controls the opening and closing of the first control device 4 and the second control device 5 to further control the first water supply device 1 and the second water supply device 2 to supply water; the user can switch the three water supply modes by operating the first control, the second control and the third control set on the display interface of the main control device 6. For example, the first water supply device 1 can be a solar water heater set on the balcony, and the second water supply device 2 can be a gas water heater set in the kitchen; when the user only needs the solar water heater to supply water, the user can touch the second control through the display interface of the main control device 6, and the second control can control the first water supply device 1 to supply water to the water-using device 7; therefore, after the user touches the second control, since the main control device 6 is connected to the first control device 4 and the second control device 5 in communication, the main control device 6 can control the first control device 4 to open and the second control device 5 to close, so as to realize the solar water heater supplying water while the gas water heater does not supply water.
[0079] The water supply control method provided by the present application detects the outlet water temperature of the solar water heater in real time, and controls the gas water heater connected in parallel to supply water when the outlet water temperature does not reach the preset temperature; the user can independently select three water supply modes through the main control device: water supply by solar water heater only, water supply by gas water heater only, and automatic water supply by solar water heater and gas water heater. The method optimizes the water supply switching operation between solar water heater and gas water heater, improves the utilization rate of solar energy, avoids the limitation of the external environment on water supply by solar water heater only, and improves the user experience.
[0080] The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0081] Figure 2 The process of the water supply control method provided in the embodiment of the present application Figure 1 The execution subject of this embodiment may be, for example, a main control device. Figure 2 As shown, the water supply control method provided in this embodiment includes:
[0082] S201: Acquire the current working mode of the main control device, and acquire the current operating status of the first water supply device and the second water supply device.
[0083] Among them, the operating status is used to indicate whether the first water supply device and the second water supply device are supplying water, and the working mode is used to indicate that the first water supply device and the second water supply device are in different operating states. There is a correlation between the working mode and the operating status.
[0084] It can be understood that different working modes correspond to different operating states. After the user determines the current working mode through the main control device, the first water supply device and the second water supply device are controlled to supply water in the operating state corresponding to the current working mode according to the currently determined working mode.
[0085] The working mode currently selected by the user is obtained through the main control device, that is, the current working mode of the main control device is obtained; since different working modes correspond to different operating states, according to the correlation between the working mode and the operating state, after determining the current working mode of the main control device, the main control device controls the first water supply device and the second water supply device to supply water through a communication connection, and the water supply conditions of the water supply devices are consistent with the working mode currently selected by the user, so that the current operating states of the first water supply device and the second water supply device can be obtained.
[0086] For example, if the working mode currently selected by the user is "automatic mode", the current working mode is: "solar water heater + gas water heater", and the current operating state corresponding to the current working mode should be: "solar water heater supplies water, and gas water heater assists the solar water heater in supplying water".
[0087] S202: When the current working mode is the first working mode and the current operating state is the first operating state, obtaining the outlet water temperature of the first water supply device, and determining whether the outlet water temperature reaches a preset outlet water temperature.
[0088] Among them, the first operating state is used to indicate that the first water supply device is in a working state, and the second water supply device is in a non-working state; the water outlet temperature is used to indicate the water supply temperature of the water outlet of the first water supply device, and the preset water outlet temperature is used to indicate the pre-set water outlet temperature in the current working mode. The first working mode can be, for example, an automatic mode.
[0089] It can be understood that a temperature detection device is provided at the water outlet of the first water supply device to detect the water supply temperature of the water outlet of the first water supply device in real time, and the water supply temperature changes with the working efficiency of the first water supply device. The temperature detection device can be, for example, a temperature sensor.
[0090] In the first working mode, both the first water supply device and the second water supply device can supply water to the water-using device, the first water supply device is the main water supply device, and the second water supply device is the auxiliary water supply device. Wherein, under the premise that the working mode does not change, the working state of the first water supply device does not change, that is, the first water supply device always supplies water to the water-using device in the current working mode; the second water supply device assists the first water supply device in supplying water according to the water supply working condition of the first water supply device; if the first water supply device cannot meet the water demand of the current user, the main control device controls the second water supply device to supply water; if the first water supply device can meet the water demand of the current user, the main control device controls the second water supply device to stop supplying water; therefore, in the first working mode, whether the second water supply device supplies water is correlated with the water supply efficiency of the first water supply device.
[0091] If the current working mode is the first working mode and the current operating state is the first operating state, the first water supply device is in a working state and the second water supply device is in a non-working state. At this time, the temperature detection device provided at the water outlet of the first water supply device is used to detect the water outlet temperature of the first water supply device; based on the detection result, it is determined whether the water outlet temperature reaches the preset water outlet temperature.
[0092] The purpose of judging whether the outlet water temperature reaches the preset outlet water temperature in this step is to determine whether to control the second water supply device to supply water in the current first working mode.
[0093] For example, if the current working mode is automatic mode and the current working state is the first working state, that is, the solar water heater is working and the gas water heater is not working, then the water outlet temperature of the solar water heater when working is obtained through the temperature sensor, and it is determined whether the water outlet temperature is consistent with the water outlet temperature currently set by the user.
[0094] S203: If the outlet water temperature does not reach the preset outlet water temperature, switching the first operating state to a second operating state.
[0095] The second operating state is used to indicate that the first water supply device is in a working state and the second water supply device is also in a working state.
[0096] After determining whether the water outlet temperature at the water outlet of the first water supply device is consistent with the water outlet temperature currently set by the user, the main control device adjusts the operating states of the first water supply device and the second water supply device according to the determination result.
[0097] If the water outlet temperature does not reach the preset water outlet temperature, it indicates that the water supply efficiency of the first water supply device does not meet the user's water demand. At this time, the operating state of the first water supply device and the second water supply device is switched from the first operating state to the second operating state, so that the second water supply device also starts to supply water.
[0098] If the outlet water temperature reaches the preset outlet water temperature, it indicates that the water supply efficiency of the first water supply device meets the user's water demand. At this time, the operating states of the first water supply device and the second water supply device are not changed, and they still supply water in the first operating state.
[0099] For example, the preset water outlet temperature can be 45°C. If the water outlet temperature at the water outlet of the first water supply device is 40°C, 40°C<45°C, then it indicates that the water supply efficiency of the solar water heater cannot meet the user's current demand for water temperature. At this time, the gas water heater is controlled to supply water, so that when the solar water heater and the gas water heater work at the same time, the user's demand for water temperature can be met; if the water outlet temperature is 45°C, 45°C=45°C, then it indicates that the water supply efficiency of the solar water heater can meet the user's current demand for water temperature. At this time, the current water supply state of the solar water heater can be kept unchanged.
[0100] The water supply control method provided in this embodiment obtains the current working mode of the main control device, and then obtains the current operating status of the first water supply device and the second water supply device; when the current working mode is the first working mode and the current operating status is the first operating status, the water outlet temperature of the first water supply device is obtained, and it is determined whether the water outlet temperature reaches the preset water outlet temperature; when the water outlet temperature does not reach the preset water outlet temperature, the current operating status is switched so that both the first water supply device and the second water supply device are in working status. This method improves the utilization rate of solar energy, avoids the limitations of the external environment on water supply using only solar water heaters, and improves the user experience.
[0101] Figure 3 The process of the water supply control method provided in the embodiment of the present application Figure 2 .like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment Figure 2 Based on the embodiment, the water supply control method is described in detail. The water supply control method shown in this embodiment includes:
[0102] S301: Acquire a user's touch operation on a plurality of controls displayed on a display interface of the main control device, and determine a target control according to the touch operation.
[0103] The target control is used to indicate the control corresponding to the working mode selected by the current user.
[0104] The user can independently select the working mode to be run on the display interface of the main control device, and thus perform touch operations on the corresponding controls; the main control device can obtain touch information corresponding to the user's current touch operation, that is, which control the user has touched; and by analyzing and processing the touch information, it can be determined which control the user has currently selected, and the currently selected control is the target control.
[0105] It can be understood that the acquisition of touch operation can be obtained, for example, through a touch detection device, or through key information. The display interface of the main control device is configured with a touch detection device, which can detect the touch position of the user on the display interface. According to the currently detected touch position, it can be determined which control the user has selected, that is, the target control can be determined; the corresponding multiple controls on the display interface of the main control device can be a button-type transmission mechanism, and different buttons correspond to different transmission information. According to the different transmission information obtained, it can be determined which control the user has selected, that is, the target control can be determined. For example, the working mode corresponding to the first control is solar energy + gas mode, the working mode corresponding to the second control is solar energy mode, and the working mode corresponding to the third control is gas mode.
[0106] For example, if the touch position detected by the touch detection device is in automatic mode, it indicates that the current user touches the first control, and at this time, the first control is determined as the target control.
[0107] S302: Using the working mode corresponding to the target control as the current working mode of the main control device.
[0108] After the user performs a touch operation on the display interface of the main control device, the target control currently selected by the user can be determined. Since different controls correspond to different working modes, the corresponding working mode can be obtained according to the currently determined target control, and the working mode can be used as the current working mode of the main control device.
[0109] It is understandable that there is an association relationship between the target control and the working mode. When the target control is the first control, the working mode is the first working mode; when the target control is the second control, the working mode is the second working mode; when the target control is the third control, the working mode is the third working mode.
[0110] For example, if the target control is the first control, the corresponding working mode is the solar energy + gas mode; if the target control is the second control, the corresponding working mode is the solar energy mode; if the target control is the third control, the corresponding working mode is the gas mode.
[0111] Optionally, the display interface of the main control device further displays: a first display icon and a second display icon. After the working mode corresponding to the target control is used as the current working mode of the main control device, the method further includes:
[0112] If the current working mode is the first working mode, the display interface of the main control device is controlled in real time to display the first display icon and / or the second display icon according to the current operating status; if the current working mode is the second working mode, the display interface of the main control device is controlled to display the first display icon; if the current working mode is the third working mode, the display interface of the main control device is controlled to display the second display icon.
[0113] The first display icon is used to indicate the working condition of the first water supply device, for example, it may be a sun symbol; the second display icon is used to indicate the working condition of the second water supply device, for example, it may be a flame symbol.
[0114] According to the current working mode, the display interface of the main control device is controlled to display the corresponding display icon. If the current working mode is the first working mode, it indicates that the first water supply device is in working state, and the second water supply device will determine whether it needs to run according to the water outlet temperature at the water outlet of the first water supply device. Therefore, in the first working mode, the first display icon on the display interface of the main control device is always on, and the second display icon is displayed according to the current operating status; if the current working mode is the second working mode, it indicates that the first water supply device is in working state, and the second water supply device is not in working state, at this time, the first display icon is always on, and the second display icon is not displayed; if the current working mode is the third working mode, it indicates that the first water supply device is not in working state, and the second water supply device is in working state, at this time, the first display icon is not displayed, and the second display icon is always on.
[0115] For example, if the current working mode is the first working mode, the sun icon on the display interface is always on, and the flame icon may or may not be displayed, depending on the specific operating status; if the current working mode is the second working mode, the sun icon on the display interface is always on, and the flame icon is not displayed; if the current working mode is the third working mode, the sun icon on the display interface is not displayed, and the flame icon is always on.
[0116] S303: When the current working mode is the first working mode and the current operating state is the first operating state, obtaining the outlet water temperature of the first water supply device, and determining whether the outlet water temperature reaches a preset outlet water temperature.
[0117] If the current working mode is the first working mode and the current operating state is the first operating state, the first water supply device is in a working state and the second water supply device is in a non-working state. At this time, the temperature detection device set at the water outlet of the first water supply device is used to detect the water outlet temperature of the first water supply device in real time; based on the currently detected water outlet temperature, it can be determined whether the water outlet temperature reaches the preset water outlet temperature.
[0118] Optionally, the method further includes:
[0119] When the current working mode is the second working mode, it is determined whether the current operating state is the first operating state; when the current operating state is not the first operating state, the current operating state is adjusted to the first operating state.
[0120] If the current working mode is the second working mode, the first water supply device should be in working state, and the second water supply device should not be in working state. The current operating state of the first water supply device and the second water supply device is obtained, and it is determined whether the current operating state is the first operating state, that is, whether the current operating state is consistent with the operating state in which the first water supply device should be in working state and the second water supply device should not be in working state; if they are consistent, there is no need to adjust the current operating state; if they are inconsistent, the main control device is used to adjust the opening and closing states of the first control device and the second control device, and the current operating state is adjusted to the first operating state.
[0121] For example, the first operating state is: "the solar water heater is working, and the gas water heater is not working". If the current operating state is: "the solar water heater is working, and the gas water heater is not working", it means that the current operating state is consistent with the first operating state, and there is no need to adjust the current operating state at this time; if the current operating state is: "the solar water heater is working, and the gas water heater is working", it means that the current operating state is inconsistent with the first operating state. At this time, the opening and closing state of the solenoid valve collector integrator set at the water inlet of the gas water heater is adjusted to make it in a closed state, thereby adjusting the current operating state to the first operating state.
[0122] Optionally, the method further includes:
[0123] When the current working mode is the third working mode, determine whether the current operating state is the third operating state; when the current operating state is not the third operating state, adjust the current operating state to the third operating state.
[0124] The third operating state is used to indicate that the first water supply device is not in a working state, and the second water supply device is in a working state.
[0125] If the current working mode is the third working mode, the first water supply device should not be in working state, and the second water supply device should be in working state. The current operating state of the first water supply device and the second water supply device is obtained, and it is determined whether the current operating state is the third operating state, that is, whether the current operating state is consistent with the operating state that the first water supply device should not be in working state and the second water supply device should be in working state; if they are consistent, there is no need to adjust the current operating state; if they are inconsistent, the main control device is used to adjust the opening and closing states of the first control device and the second control device, and the current operating state is adjusted to the third operating state.
[0126] For example, the third operating state is: "the solar water heater is not working, and the gas water heater is working". If the current operating state is: "the solar water heater is not working, and the gas water heater is working", it indicates that the current operating state is consistent with the third operating state, and there is no need to adjust the current operating state at this time; if the current operating state is: "the solar water heater is working, and the gas water heater is working", it indicates that the current operating state is inconsistent with the first operating state. At this time, the opening and closing state of the solenoid valve collector integrator set at the water inlet of the solar water heater is adjusted to make it in a closed state, thereby adjusting the current operating state to the third operating state.
[0127] S304: If the outlet water temperature does not reach the preset outlet water temperature, controlling the first control device corresponding to the first water supply device to remain turned on.
[0128] S305: Control the second control device corresponding to the second water supply device to switch from a closed state to an open state.
[0129] The first control device may be, for example, a solenoid valve collector integrator arranged at the water inlet of the solar water heater, and the second control device may be, for example, a solenoid valve collector integrator arranged at the water inlet of the gas water heater.
[0130] If the water outlet temperature does not reach the preset water outlet temperature, it indicates that the current water supply efficiency of the first water supply device cannot meet the user's water demand, and the second water supply device is required to assist in water supply to meet the user's water demand. At this time, the first control device corresponding to the first water supply device is controlled to remain open, and the second control device corresponding to the second water supply device is controlled to switch from the closed state to the open state.
[0131] If the water outlet temperature reaches the preset water outlet temperature, it indicates that the current water supply efficiency of the first water supply device can meet the user's water demand. In order to save energy, there is no need to turn on the second water supply device. At this time, the first control device corresponding to the first water supply device is controlled to remain open, and the opening and closing state of the second control device corresponding to the second water supply device is not changed.
[0132] It can be understood that the main control device is communicated with the first control device and the second control device respectively, and the operating status of the first water supply device and the second water supply device can be controlled by controlling the opening and closing states of the first control device and the second control device; the first control device is arranged at the water inlet of the first water supply device, and whether the first water supply device supplies water can be controlled by controlling the opening and closing states of the first control device; the second control device is arranged at the water inlet of the second water supply device, and whether the second water supply device supplies water can be controlled by controlling the opening and closing states of the second control device.
[0133] For example, if the currently obtained outlet water temperature is 40℃, 40℃<45℃, it means that the water supply efficiency of the solar water heater cannot meet the user's current demand for water temperature. At this time, the solenoid valve collector integrator set at the water inlet of the gas water heater is controlled to switch from a closed state to an open state, so that the gas water heater supplies water, thereby meeting the user's demand for water temperature; if the outlet water temperature is 45℃, 45℃=45℃, it means that the water supply efficiency of the solar water heater can meet the user's current demand for water temperature. At this time, the solenoid valve collector integrator at the water inlet of the solar water heater is kept in an open state, so that the current water supply state of the solar water heater remains unchanged.
[0134] S306: Re-obtaining the outlet water temperature of the first water supply device according to a preset period.
[0135] The preset period may be, for example, 5 minutes.
[0136] After adjusting the current operating states of the first water supply device and the second water supply device according to the working mode currently selected by the user, the corresponding water outlet temperature is re-obtained according to a preset period through the temperature detection device arranged at the water outlet of the first water supply device.
[0137] It is understandable that the water outlet temperature provided by the first water supply device to the water-using device will be affected by the external environment. The water outlet temperature may meet the user's water demand, or it may not meet the user's water demand. Therefore, it is necessary to repeatedly obtain the water outlet temperature at a preset time interval to adjust the operating status of the first water supply device and the second water supply device, that is, to realize automatic switching between the first water supply device and the second water supply device in the first working mode.
[0138] For example, in automatic mode, if the solar water heater is working and the gas water heater is also working, it means that the current water supply of the solar water heater cannot meet the user's water demand. After maintaining the current operating state for 5 minutes, the outlet water temperature of the solar water heater is obtained again, which can be 45°C or 40°C.
[0139] S307: Determine whether the new outlet water temperature reaches the preset outlet water temperature.
[0140] After the new water outlet temperature is obtained, it is determined again whether the new water outlet temperature reaches the preset water outlet temperature; and according to the determination result, the operating states of the first water supply device and the second water supply device are adjusted.
[0141] If the new water outlet temperature does not reach the preset water outlet temperature, it indicates that the water supply efficiency of the first water supply device still does not meet the user's water demand. At this time, the operating states of the first water supply device and the second water supply device are not changed.
[0142] If the new water outlet temperature reaches the preset water outlet temperature, it indicates that the water supply efficiency of the first water supply device meets the user's water demand. At this time, the operating states of the first water supply device and the second water supply device are adjusted, and the second operating state is switched to the first operating state, so that the second water supply device also stops supplying water.
[0143] For example, if the re-acquired water outlet temperature is 40℃, 40℃<45℃, it means that the water supply efficiency of the solar water heater still cannot meet the user's current demand for water temperature. At this time, the current operating state of the solar water heater and the gas water heater supplying water at the same time is kept unchanged; if the water outlet temperature is 45℃, 45℃=45℃, it means that the water supply efficiency of the solar water heater can meet the user's current demand for water temperature. At this time, it is necessary to change the current operating state and control the gas water heater to stop supplying water.
[0144] S308: If the new outlet water temperature reaches the preset outlet water temperature, the second operating state is switched to the first operating state.
[0145] The water supply control method provided in this embodiment obtains the user's current touch operation on multiple controls displayed on the display interface of the main control device, and determines the target control according to the touch operation; after determining the target control, the corresponding working mode of the main control device can be determined; when the current working mode is the first working mode and the current operating state is the first operating state, the water outlet temperature of the first water supply device is obtained, and it is judged whether the water outlet temperature reaches the preset water outlet temperature; when the water outlet temperature does not reach the preset water outlet temperature, the current operating state is switched so that both the first water supply device and the second water supply device are in working state; after switching the current operating state, the water outlet temperature of the first water supply device is re-obtained according to the preset cycle, and the water outlet temperature is judged again, so as to determine the corresponding operating state of the first water supply device and the second water supply device. This method optimizes the water supply switching operation between solar water heaters and gas water heaters, improves the utilization rate of solar energy, avoids the limitations of the external environment on water supply using only solar water heaters, and improves the user experience.
