The embodiment of the present invention provides a sterilization control method, device, equipment and medium. The sterilization control method can be found in Figure 4 , Figure 4 Schematic diagram of application scenario of the sterilization control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The sterilization control method is applied to a controller 12 of a water tank 10, and the controller 12 is in communication connection with an ultraviolet lamp 11 provided in the water tank 10; wherein the water tank 10 is a water tank provided in a water purifier.

[0026] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the sterilization control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps S110-S130.

[0027] S110, obtaining the operating status of the water tank in real time.

[0028] In this embodiment, the operating state of the water tank is obtained in real time or periodically, and the operating state includes a first operating state, a second operating state and a third operating state; the first operating state is a water replenishment state, the second operating state is a water storage state, and the third operating state is a water replenishment state + a water intake state; when the water tank is in the third operating state, the ultraviolet lamp is controlled to turn on and the output power of the ultraviolet lamp is adjusted to the maximum output power.

[0029] When the water tank is in the second operating state and the number of water replenishment times within the preset refresh cycle is greater than 0, it is necessary to determine whether the turn-on time of the ultraviolet lamp has been reached based on the off time of the ultraviolet lamp. Therefore, when the water tank enters the second operating state (water storage state) from the first operating state (water replenishment state) and / or the third operating state (water replenishment state + water intake state), the off time of the ultraviolet lamp needs to be reset (i.e., re-timed).

[0030] In one embodiment, after step S110, it also includes: when the operating state is the third operating state, controlling the ultraviolet lamp to turn on and adjusting the output power of the ultraviolet lamp to the maximum output power; determining the third operating parameter of the ultraviolet lamp according to the water flow time and the preset working cycle; wherein the preset working cycle includes a first dark resurrection time and a first refresh cycle.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the operating state is the third operating state (water replenishment state + water intake state), the ultraviolet lamp is controlled to turn on and the output power of the ultraviolet lamp is adjusted to the maximum output power; then, the third operating parameter of the ultraviolet lamp is determined according to the water flow time and the first dark resurrection time in the preset working cycle to control the output power and / or irradiation time of the ultraviolet lamp according to the third operating parameter; the preset working cycle includes the first dark resurrection time and the first refresh cycle, the first dark resurrection time can be set to 5 hours, the first refresh cycle can be set to 3 hours, and the first dark resurrection time ≥ the first refresh cycle.

[0032] Dark resurrection duration refers to the duration of bacterial dark resurrection. The duration of bacterial dark resurrection means that some bacteria, when exposed to adverse environmental conditions for a long time, will enter a dormant state in which their metabolic activities are almost completely stopped. In this state, although the bacterial cell structure and function are severely damaged, they still maintain a certain survival ability. When the environmental conditions improve, these bacteria can be reactivated and resume normal metabolic activities and reproduction ability. The duration from dormancy to activation of bacteria is the duration of bacterial dark resurrection.

[0033] The embodiment of the present invention accurately controls the output power and / or irradiation duration of the ultraviolet lamp by setting the first dark revival duration, thereby preventing bacteria from reviving and regenerating before the next sterilization operation is performed (i.e., before the next first refresh cycle arrives).

[0034] The determining of the third working parameter of the ultraviolet lamp according to the water flow time and the preset working cycle includes:

[0035] According to the preset dark resurrection duration-output parameter table, the output parameters corresponding to the first dark resurrection duration are obtained, and the output power and / or irradiation duration of the ultraviolet lamp are controlled according to the output parameters, so that the dark resurrection duration of bacteria is longer than the first dark resurrection duration; the preset dark resurrection duration-output parameter table can be obtained by continuous adjustment and optimization through experiments or simulations.

[0036] In one embodiment, after determining the third working parameter of the ultraviolet lamp according to the water flow time and the preset working cycle, the method further includes: clearing the off time of the ultraviolet lamp.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the water tank is in the second operating state and the number of water replenishment times within the preset refresh cycle is greater than 0, it is necessary to determine whether the turn-on time of the ultraviolet lamp has been reached based on the off time of the ultraviolet lamp; when the water tank enters the second operating state (water storage state) from the first operating state (water replenishment state) and / or the third operating state (water replenishment state + water intake state), the off time of the ultraviolet lamp is reset (i.e., re-timed).

[0038] S120. When the operating state is the first operating state, control the ultraviolet lamp to turn on and determine a first operating parameter of the ultraviolet lamp according to the water flow time.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the operating state is the first operating state (water replenishment state), the ultraviolet lamp is controlled to turn on and the first working parameter of the ultraviolet lamp is determined according to the water flow time; specifically, the first working parameter corresponding to the water flow time is obtained according to the preset dark resurrection time-output parameter table, and the output power and / or irradiation time of the ultraviolet lamp is controlled according to the first working parameter so that the dark resurrection time of the bacteria is greater than the first dark resurrection time.

[0040] S130. When the operating state is the second operating state, determine the second operating parameter of the ultraviolet lamp according to the number of water replenishment times within a preset refresh cycle and / or a preset working cycle to control the ultraviolet lamp according to the second working parameter.

[0041] In this embodiment, when the operating state is the second operating state (water storage state), the second operating parameter of the ultraviolet lamp is determined according to the number of water replenishment times within a preset refresh cycle and / or a preset working cycle to control the ultraviolet lamp according to the second working parameter; wherein the preset refresh cycle can be set to 24 hours.

[0042] If the number of water replenishment times within the preset refresh cycle is 0, the second working parameter of the ultraviolet lamp is determined according to the preset refresh cycle and the set sterilization execution time; when the preset refresh cycle is 24 hours and the sterilization execution time is 0 o'clock, at zero o'clock, the ultraviolet lamp is controlled to turn on to sterilize the water in the water tank, and the output power and / or irradiation time of the ultraviolet lamp is controlled so that the dark resurrection time of bacteria is greater than or equal to the preset refresh cycle.

[0043] If the number of water replenishment times within the preset refresh cycle is greater than 0, the second working parameter of the ultraviolet lamp is determined according to the preset working cycle to control the ultraviolet lamp according to the second working parameter.

[0044] In one embodiment, the second working parameter of the ultraviolet lamp is determined based on the number of water replenishment times within a preset refresh cycle and / or a preset working cycle, including: if the number of water replenishment times is equal to zero, the second working parameter of the ultraviolet lamp is determined based on the sterilization execution time and the preset second dark revival time to control the ultraviolet lamp according to the second working parameter.

[0045] In this embodiment, if the number of water replenishment times is equal to zero, the second working parameter of the ultraviolet lamp is determined according to the sterilization execution time and the preset second dark revival time to control the ultraviolet lamp according to the second working parameter; wherein, the sterilization execution time can be set according to actual application, the sterilization execution time can be set in an idle period, the second dark revival time is greater than or equal to the preset refresh cycle, and the preset refresh cycle has a value range of 6 hours to 24 hours.

[0046] When the preset refresh cycle is 24 hours, the second dark resurrection time is 26 hours, and the sterilization execution time is 0 o'clock, at 0 o'clock every day, the ultraviolet lamp is controlled to turn on to sterilize the water in the water tank, and the output power and / or irradiation time of the ultraviolet lamp is controlled so that the dark resurrection time of bacteria is greater than or equal to 26 hours.

[0047] In one embodiment, the second operating parameter of the ultraviolet lamp is determined based on the number of water replenishment times within a preset refresh cycle and / or a preset working cycle, including: if the number of water replenishment times is greater than zero, obtaining the off time of the ultraviolet lamp; determining the on time based on the off time and the first refresh time in the preset working cycle; determining the second operating parameter based on the on time and the first dark revival time in the preset working cycle to control the ultraviolet lamp according to the second operating parameter.

[0048] In this embodiment, if the number of water replenishment times is greater than zero, the off time of the ultraviolet lamp is obtained; the on time is determined according to the off time and the first refresh time in the preset working cycle; for example, the off time is 2 hours and the first refresh time is 3 hours, then after 1 hour, the ultraviolet lamp is controlled to turn on and the output power and / or irradiation time of the ultraviolet lamp is controlled according to the first dark resurrection time in the preset working cycle to sterilize the water tank, so that the dark resurrection time of the bacteria is greater than or equal to the first dark resurrection time; the first dark resurrection time can be set to 5 hours.

[0049] Furthermore, when the water tank enters the second operating state (water storage state) from the first operating state (water replenishment state) and / or the third operating state (water replenishment state+water intake state), the off time of the ultraviolet lamp is reset (i.e., re-timed).

[0050] In one embodiment, after determining the second working parameter of the ultraviolet lamp according to the sterilization execution time and the preset second dark revival time, it also includes: if a periodic update signal is detected, the preset refresh period and the second dark revival time are updated according to the periodic update signal.

[0051] In this embodiment, the corresponding periodic update signal can be automatically generated according to the user's usage habits, or the user can manually adjust and trigger the corresponding periodic update signal, and the preset refresh period and the second dark resurrection duration are updated according to the detected periodic update signal.

[0052] In one embodiment, after step S130, it also includes: obtaining a time period in which the historical usage frequency of the water tank is less than a predetermined frequency among multiple time periods included in a preset statistical cycle as the idle time period; and updating the sterilization execution time according to the idle time period.

[0053] In this embodiment, a time period in which the historical usage frequency of the water tank is less than a predetermined frequency among multiple time periods included in a preset statistical period is obtained as the idle time period; the sterilization execution time is updated according to the idle time period; wherein the middle time period of the idle time period can be set as the sterilization execution time; for example, the water tank often has no water replenishment operation between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m., at this time, the middle value (3 a.m.) is taken as the sterilization execution time.

[0054] To sum up, the embodiment of the present invention can obtain the operating status of the water tank in real time, so as to dynamically adjust the working parameters of the ultraviolet lamp according to the operating status of the water tank, which can effectively improve the energy efficiency ratio of the ultraviolet lamp and meet the sterilization requirements under different operating conditions; the embodiment of the present invention can also accurately control the output power and / or opening time of the ultraviolet lamp according to the working parameters of the ultraviolet lamp, which can effectively improve the sterilization efficiency and ensure the reliability of drinking water.
