[0025] The technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a liquid heater 1 provided in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the liquid heater 1 includes an operation panel 11 , at least one processor 12 and a memory 13 . Figure 2 A processor 12 is taken as an example. The processor 12 is electrically connected to the memory 13 and the operation panel 11 respectively, and the operation panel 11 is configured to display the functional state and working mode of the liquid heater 1. The memory 13 stores instructions that can be executed by at least one processor 12, and the instructions are executed by at least one processor 12, so that at least one processor 12 executes the working control method of the liquid heater 1 in the following embodiment.

[0027] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the operation panel of the liquid heater 1 provided in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the operation panel of the liquid heater 1 includes a button assembly 110 and a plurality of prompt lights 114. The prompt lights 114 are used to display the function status to be executed or currently executed, such as boiling water, making tea, cooking soups, porridges, and simmering medicinal food; the prompt lights 114 are also used to display the selected working mode or the default working mode in the specified function state or the non-functional standby state, such as heat preservation or self-cooling, quick heating or quiet enjoyment, office or regular.

[0028] The button assembly 110 includes at least one of a switch button 112, a mode button 111, and a configuration button 113. Figure 2In the operation panel 11 shown, the button assembly 110 includes a switch button 112 configured to switch functional states or working modes, and two buttons illustrated as “<” and “>”; the button assembly 110 also includes a mode button 111 configured to switch or select the type of working mode, illustrated as a “mode” button. For example, when the user presses the “mode” button for the first time, the user can select the insulation mode or the self-cooling mode in the first working mode through the switch button 112. When the user presses the “mode” button for the second time, the user can select the fast heating mode or the quiet enjoyment mode in the second working mode through the switch button 112. When the user presses the “mode” button for the third time, the user can select the office mode or the normal mode in the third working mode through the switch button 112. The button assembly 110 also includes a configuration button 113, illustrated as a “debugging appointment” button, a “insulation” button, and a “start cancel” button. The configuration button 113 is used to start or cancel the current functional state, change the configuration parameters of the liquid heater 1 when heating the liquid, or control the liquid heater 1 to enter or leave the insulation mode.

[0029] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flow chart of a method for controlling the operation of a liquid heater 1 provided in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the operation control method of the liquid heater 1 includes the following steps.

[0030] S110: In response to the function instruction generated after the button assembly 110 is triggered, the liquid heater 1 is controlled to enter a designated function state corresponding to the function instruction.

[0031] The function instruction refers to an instruction for controlling the liquid heater 1 to enter a specified function state. The specified function state refers to the heating method performed by the liquid heater 1 to adapt to the type of food or liquid in the heating chamber of the liquid heater 1. In this step, the user clicks at least one button in the button assembly 110 on the operation panel of the liquid heater 1 to select the function state that the liquid heater 1 is about to perform, which is the specified function state. In response to the function instruction generated after the button assembly 110 on the operation panel is triggered, the liquid heater 1 switches its current working state to the specified function state corresponding to the function instruction.

[0032] S120: In response to the mode instruction generated after the button assembly 110 is triggered, the liquid heater 1 is controlled to enter a working mode corresponding to the mode instruction under a specified functional state.

[0033] The mode instruction refers to an instruction for controlling the liquid heater 1 to switch the working mode. The working mode refers to the default configuration work when the liquid heater 1 heats the liquid in the specified functional state or after the liquid heating is completed. For example, after the liquid heating is completed, the insulation program is automatically executed or the heating element is turned off to let the liquid cool naturally; or the liquid heater 1 buzzes to remind or remains silent after the liquid heating is completed; or the liquid heater 1 maintains full-power heating during the liquid heating process or reduces the power heating at a specified stage. In this step, after the liquid heater 1 determines the specified functional state or has entered the specified functional state, based on the mode instruction generated by the button assembly 110 being triggered, the current working mode in the specified functional state is switched to the working mode corresponding to the mode instruction, so that the liquid heater 1 performs work based on the working mode corresponding to the mode instruction during the subsequent heating process and after the heating is completed.

[0034] Based on the above scheme, the liquid heater 1 in the present application can further adjust the working mode based on user needs in a specified functional state. For example, in a specified functional state such as boiling water or cooking porridge, the user can further flexibly set whether the liquid heater 1 keeps the liquid warm after heating, whether the heating process uses a rapid heating mode, whether a buzzing prompt is sounded after heating is completed, etc., so as to fully adapt to the use environment or heating needs of the liquid heater 1. The present application effectively improves the working flexibility and ease of operation of the liquid heater 1, and the switching of functional states or working modes can be achieved by triggering the button assembly 110.

[0035] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flow chart of a method for controlling the operation of a liquid heater 1 provided in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the operation control method of the liquid heater 1 includes the following steps.

[0036] S200: After power-on, the liquid heater 1 is controlled to enter a preset working mode based on preset configuration information.

[0037] The preset configuration information refers to the working mode information pre-stored by the liquid heater 1, which is executed by default after it is powered on or in standby state without function. The preset working mode refers to the default working mode that the liquid heater 1 actively enters after it is powered on, and it can also be the working mode that the liquid heater 1 automatically enters if there is no instruction after the heating is completed. The liquid heater 1 stores the configuration information (data) related to the default working mode as the default execution workflow and parameters in advance, so that in this step, the liquid heater 1 automatically controls its own components to work according to the pre-configured working parameters corresponding to the preset working mode after it is powered on. For example, after the liquid heater 1 is powered on, although it has not entered the specified functional state, it still first enters the preset working mode based on the preset configuration information. The preset working modes are: "Keep Warm", "Quiet Enjoyment", and "Normal".

[0038] S210: In response to the function instruction generated after the button assembly 110 is triggered, the liquid heater 1 is controlled to enter a designated function state corresponding to the function instruction.

[0039] In this step, the user changes the designated functional state of the liquid heater 1 by clicking the switch button 112. Specifically, the liquid heater 1 responds to the trigger signal generated when the switch button 112, such as the "<" or ">" button, is clicked, and determines the target functional state that the liquid heater 1 is about to execute, that is, the designated functional state, according to the known arrangement order of the functional states and the current default functional state. Then, the processor 12 generates a functional instruction based on the name or identifier of the designated functional state to control the liquid heater 1 to search for the corresponding working parameters of the designated functional state based on the functional instruction, and control the components to work according to the working parameters, that is, to control the liquid heater 1 to enter the designated functional state corresponding to the functional instruction.

[0040] S220: When there is a preset working mode in the designated functional state that needs to be locked, the working mode in the designated functional state is locked as the preset working mode.

[0041] The working modes include a heat preservation mode and a self-cooling mode, which can be selected from the first working mode, a quick heating mode and a quiet mode, which can be selected from the second working mode, and an office mode and a normal mode, which can be selected from the third working mode. Specifically, the heat preservation mode refers to the working mode in which the liquid heater 1 controls the heating element to continue to generate heat to maintain the temperature of the liquid after the liquid heating is completed; the self-cooling mode refers to the working mode in which the liquid heater 1 controls the heating element to stop generating heat after the liquid heating is completed so that the liquid in the heating chamber can be cooled naturally; the quick heating mode refers to the working mode in which the liquid heater 1 heats the liquid at full power throughout the whole process of liquid heating to shorten the actual heating time; the quiet mode refers to the working mode in which the liquid heater 1 uses reduced power heating to reduce noise during the working stage with the highest noise during the liquid heating process; the office mode refers to the working mode in which the liquid heater 1 always maintains a silent state during the whole process of liquid heating and after the liquid heating is completed; the normal mode refers to the working mode in which the liquid heater 1 reminds the user by buzzing during the whole process of liquid heating and after the liquid heating is completed.

[0042] In one embodiment, the functional state of the liquid heater 1 includes a drug preparation state. When the designated functional state is the drug preparation state, the liquid heater 1 locks the working mode in the drug preparation state to the keep warm mode. Since the drug will lose its own efficacy if it is naturally cooled after heating, when the designated functional state of the liquid heater 1 is the drug preparation state, the liquid heater 1 forcibly locks the first working mode in the drug preparation state to the keep warm state to prevent the drug in the liquid heater 1 from losing its original efficacy due to accidental touch or missetting of natural cooling after boiling.

[0043] In the above embodiment, locking the working mode means that other instructions are not allowed to change the working mode. Even if a new touch instruction is received, the keep warm mode cannot be switched to the self-cooling mode, and the default keep warm mode in the drug preparation state is continuous keep warm or timed keep warm (long time timing) to prevent the drug from cooling and becoming ineffective.

[0044] In one embodiment, the functional state of the liquid heater 1 includes a recipe preparation state. When the designated functional state is the recipe preparation state, the working mode in the recipe preparation state is locked to the quiet mode, which is used to characterize the liquid heater 1 reducing power for heating in the phase with the highest noise during the liquid heating process. The liquid heater 1 locks the second working mode to the quiet mode in the food preparation state to avoid performance problems such as the bottom of the liquid being burnt or boiling over when the liquid heater 1 uses full power for heating during the heating of porridge or soup.

[0045] In one embodiment, when the liquid heater 1 is in a designated functional state such as boiling water or making tea, the specific modes of the first, second and third working modes can be customized and selected, and no mandatory locking setting is made for any working mode.

[0046] Take the liquid heater 1 as an example, where the designated functional state is a recipe preparation state such as "tremella soup", "medicinal diet", "porridge", etc. In an application process, the user first selects the designated functional state of the liquid heater 1 as a recipe preparation state such as "tremella soup", "medicinal diet", "porridge", etc. by switching the button 112. Then, after the user presses the mode button 111 for the first time, the user further selects the first working mode as the insulation mode or the self-cooling mode by clicking the "<", ">" switching button 112, and the indicator light corresponding to the insulation mode or the self-cooling mode flashes; the user presses the mode button 111 again, and further selects the third working mode as the office mode or the normal mode by clicking the "<", ">" switching button 112, and the indicator light corresponding to the office mode or the normal mode flashes; on this basis, the user clicks the mode button 111 multiple times, and the working mode selection always cycles in sequence between the first working mode corresponding to "insulation / self-cooling" and the second working mode corresponding to "office / normal", and the "quiet enjoyment" indicator light is always on and does not change at all.

[0047] S230: In response to a trigger signal generated when the button assembly is touched, generate a mode instruction for selecting a working mode.

[0048] In order to simplify the operation panel and operation steps of the liquid heater 1, the liquid heater 1 can be configured to generate a mode instruction for selecting a working mode based on a trigger signal generated after at least one button in the button assembly 110 is triggered for a long time, a short time or a combination of times, specifically including the following situations.

[0049] (i) The mode button 111 cooperates with the switch button 112 to generate a corresponding mode instruction.

[0050] In one embodiment, the liquid heater 1 generates a mode instruction for selecting at least one working mode in response to a timing trigger signal generated when the mode button 111 and the switch button 112 are touched in sequence.

[0051] In an application process, the user switches between three working modes (first working mode, second working mode and third working mode) by clicking the mode button 111. When switching to the working mode that the user needs to select, the user selects a specific mode in the working mode by clicking the "<" and ">" switch buttons 112. For example, the user switches between the three working modes of "keeping warm / self-cooling" (first working mode), "fast heating / quiet enjoyment" (second working mode) and "office / conventional" (third working mode) by clicking the mode button 111; then, when the user selects a specific working mode in the first working mode, the user selects whether the first working mode is a keeping warm mode or a self-cooling mode by clicking the "<" and ">" switch buttons 112. For example, the user presses the "<" or ">" button for the first time to enter the keeping warm mode from the self-cooling mode, and presses the "<" or ">" button again to enter the self-cooling mode from the keeping warm mode. The user clicks the switch button 112 to make the liquid heater 1 switch between the keeping warm mode and the self-cooling mode alternately, and the indicator light displays red and blue in turn.

[0052] Therefore, the liquid heater 1 controls the lighting of the corresponding working mode indicator light 114 based on the short-time trigger signal generated after the mode button 111 or the switch button 112 is triggered. The liquid heater 1 also generates a mode instruction for selecting at least one working mode based on the timing trigger signal (a signal obtained by arranging and combining multiple short-time trigger signals in a timing sequence) generated after the mode button 111 and the switch button 112 are triggered in sequence.

[0053] (ii) Generate corresponding mode instructions by configuring button 113.

[0054] The configuration button 113 is used to generate a short-time trigger signal when it is touched to change the configuration parameters of the liquid heater 1 or control the liquid heater 1 to enter the insulation mode. For example, when the configuration button 113 is a insulation button, the insulation button is configured to: generate a short-time trigger signal when it is clicked to generate an insulation instruction for controlling the liquid heater 1 to enter the insulation mode or adjust the insulation temperature (insulation configuration parameter); when the configuration button 113 is a time adjustment reservation button, the adjustment reservation button is configured to: generate a short-time trigger signal when it is clicked to generate an appointment instruction for adjusting the scheduled heating time (appointment configuration parameter) of the liquid heater 1.

[0055] In addition to the short-time trigger signal or the combination of short-time trigger signals used to realize the original configuration function of the configuration button 113, the present application also pre-sets the corresponding relationship between the long-time trigger signal of the configuration button 113 and the working mode switching instruction, so as to further realize the quick switching of the specific working mode of the liquid heater 1 in the first, second or third working mode. That is, the liquid heater 1 generates a mode instruction for selecting at least one working mode in response to the long-time trigger signal generated when the configuration button 113 is continuously touched.

[0056] In one embodiment, the user long presses the keep warm button, and the keep warm button generates a long trigger signal when it is continuously touched to generate a mode instruction for controlling the liquid heater 1 to switch between the keep warm mode and the self-cooling mode in the first working mode; the user long presses the reservation timing button, and the reservation timing button generates a long trigger signal when it is continuously touched to generate a mode instruction for controlling the liquid heater 1 to switch between the office mode and the normal mode in the third working mode.

[0057] During an application process, when the user turns on the liquid heater 1, or when the liquid heater 1 finishes heating the liquid in the heating chamber, the liquid heater 1 automatically enters the keep-warm mode by default; or, the user short presses the keep-warm button to set the first working mode to the keep-warm mode; then, the user long presses the keep-warm button to cancel the default keep-warm mode of the liquid heater 1 and change the first working mode to the self-cooling mode; finally, the user long presses the keep-warm button again to control the liquid heater 1 to automatically enter the keep-warm mode again.

[0058] During an application process, the user changes the reservation time or other reservation configuration parameters of the liquid heater 1 by short pressing the reservation adjustment button; the user controls the liquid heater 1 to enter the state of selecting a specific mode in the third working mode by long pressing the reservation adjustment button, thereby realizing switching between office mode and normal mode.

[0059] (iii) Generate corresponding mode instructions by switching button 112.

[0060] In one embodiment, the liquid heater 1 generates a mode instruction for selecting at least one working mode in response to a combined trigger signal generated when at least two switching buttons 112 are touched simultaneously. Each trigger signal in the combined trigger signal can be a long trigger signal or a short trigger signal. In one embodiment, the two switching buttons 112 are touched simultaneously to generate a mode instruction for controlling the liquid heater 1 to switch between the fast heating mode and the quiet enjoying mode in the second working mode.

[0061] In an application process, the user presses the switch buttons 112 "<", ">" at the same time, so that the two switch buttons 112 are triggered at the same time to generate a combined trigger signal, so as to further control the liquid heater 1 to switch between the fast heating mode and the quiet mode in the second working mode. For example, after the user presses the two switch buttons 112 at the same time for the first time, the second working mode of the liquid heater 1 is changed to the fast heating mode; when the user presses the two switch buttons 112 at the same time for the second time, the second working mode of the liquid heater 1 is switched from the fast heating mode to the quiet mode.

[0062] In the embodiments or application processes of the present application, when the third working mode of the liquid heater 1 is the office mode, the liquid heater 1 is accompanied by a buzzing prompt when switching to a specific working mode based on various types of trigger signals, a buzzing prompt when completing liquid heating, entering the insulation or self-cooling mode, and a buzzing prompt when the user lifts the heating container of the liquid heater 1.

[0063] Based on the above scheme, the liquid heater 1 can further simplify the operation steps of selecting a specific working mode under a certain working mode type based on the original operation method of gradually changing the specific working mode by clicking the mode button 111 and the switch button 112 step by step; the user can directly select the second working mode as the quick heating mode or the quiet enjoying mode by touching the two switch buttons 112 at the same time, the user can directly select the first working mode as the keeping warm mode or the self-cooling mode by long pressing the keeping warm button, and the user can directly select the third working mode as the office mode or the normal mode by long pressing the appointment adjustment button. This application simplifies the operation steps of the user to select a specific working mode through the above technical scheme, effectively improving the user's product experience.

[0064] S240: In response to the mode instruction generated after the button assembly 110 is triggered, the liquid heater 1 is controlled to enter a working mode corresponding to the mode instruction under a specified functional state.

[0065] In this step, the liquid heater 1 can further adjust the working mode based on the mode instruction in the specified functional state. For example, in the specified functional states such as boiling water and cooking porridge, the user can further flexibly and conveniently select the working mode such as whether the liquid heater 1 keeps the liquid warm after the liquid is heated, whether the heating process adopts the rapid heating mode, whether to buzz after the heating is completed, etc., so as to fully adapt to the use environment or heating needs of the liquid heater 1.

[0066] S250: Store and mark the current working mode and / or configuration parameters as the default working mode and / or default configuration parameters in the specified functional state.

[0067] After the user selects the designated functional state of the liquid heater 1, and selects a specific working mode among at least one working mode based on the designated functional state, and / or changes the specific configuration parameters of the liquid heater 1 based on the designated functional state, the liquid heater 1 stores the currently selected working mode and marks it as the default working mode and / or default configuration parameters under the designated functional state, so that the next time the liquid heater 1 enters the same designated functional state, the working mode or configuration parameters are directly adjusted to the default working mode and / or default configuration parameters based on the user's preference settings, so that the user can use the liquid heater 1 more quickly.

[0068] Based on the above scheme, the present application can, without changing the basic functions of each button on the original operation panel of the liquid heater 1, further realize the quick switching of the specific working mode of the liquid heater 1 under different working modes by pre-configuring the mode instructions corresponding to the long and short timing trigger signals or combined trigger signals of different types of buttons. At the same time, the liquid heater 1 automatically memorizes the user's behavioral habits in the current usage scenario (that is, the selected working mode and / or configuration parameters in the current functional state) to meet the user's preferences in subsequent applications; in addition, the liquid heater 1 indicates that the user has entered a different working mode through different beep prompts in the normal mode; in the office mode, it remains silent without a buzzing prompt, which improves the user's experience. The present application can effectively simplify the operation panel and operation method of the liquid heater 1, automatically record user preference settings, and realize more convenient operation of the liquid heater 1 at a lower cost while ensuring the basic functions of the liquid heater 1, effectively improving the intelligence and convenience of the liquid heater 1 in the human-computer interaction process.

[0069] The embodiment of the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium, which stores a computer program. The computer program can be executed by the processor 12 to complete the operation control method of the liquid heater 1.

[0070] If the function is implemented in the form of a software function module and sold or used as an independent product, it can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present application, or the part that contributes to the prior art or the part of the technical solution, can be embodied in the form of a software product.
