[0132] In the specific implementation process, the gas water heater is firstly in the power-on state, and the gas water heater is in the standby state by turning on the power button. At this time, the gas water heater keeps detecting ① to determine whether the water flow rate is ≥ the start-up water flow rate L1 of the gas water heater. If ① is satisfied, it enters ② to detect whether the gas water heater has a fault; if ① is not satisfied, the gas water heater will not have any response and will remain in the standby state; if ② is satisfied, the gas water heater will report a corresponding fault; if ② is not satisfied, the fan is controlled to rotate at the first speed N1 for the first preset time T1 (it should be noted that the fan is controlled to rotate at the first speed N1 to clean up the exhaust gas or debris from the last combustion ), judge whether ③ water flow ≥ gas water heater startup water flow L1; if ③ is satisfied, control the fan to rotate at the second ignition speed N2, and control the proportional valve to open the valve body with the ignition current I, pass the gas, and ignite the gas water heater at the same time. After ignition, enter ④ water cut-off flow ≥ gas water heater startup water flow L1; if ③ is not satisfied, control the fan to rotate at the third speed N3 for the third preset time T3 and then turn off; if ④ is satisfied, judge whether ⑤ the gas water heater senses the flame; if ④ is not satisfied, control the fan to rotate at the third speed N3 for the third preset time T3 and then turn off; if ⑤ is satisfied, determine that the gas water heater is at the corresponding load. Stable combustion, and enter ⑥ to determine whether the water flow rate is ≥ the shutdown water flow rate L2 of the gas water heater; if ⑤ is not satisfied, enter ⑦ to determine whether the ignition number is ≤ the preset ignition number (for example, the preset ignition number can be set to 3, or it can be set to other values); if ⑦ is satisfied, the proportional valve is controlled to be closed, and after waiting for the first preset time T1, it returns to controlling the fan to rotate at the first speed N1 for the first preset time T1; if ⑥ is satisfied, determine ⑧ whether the gas water heater senses the flame; if ⑥ is not satisfied, the proportional valve is controlled to be closed, and the fan rotates at the third speed N3 for the third preset time T3 and then turns off; if ⑧ is satisfied, determine ⑨ whether the combustion of the gas water heater is ≤ the first Second preset time T2; if ⑧ is not satisfied, the proportional valve is controlled to be closed, and the gas water heater reports a flameout fault, and the fan is controlled to rotate at the third speed N3 for the third preset time T3 and then turn off; if ⑨ is satisfied, it is determined that the gas water heater is burning stably at the corresponding load; if ⑨ is not satisfied, the proportional valve is controlled to be closed, and the gas water heater reports a timeout fault, and the fan is controlled to rotate at the third speed N3 for the third preset time T3 and then turn off; if ⑦ is not satisfied, the proportional valve is controlled to be closed, and the gas water heater reports a non-ignition fault; after reporting various faults, the gas water heater can be powered off or shut down to cancel the fault code, and the gas water heater will return to standby mode after powering on again.

[0133] This embodiment monitors the water flow rate of the gas water heater in real time and determines the next operation according to the water flow rate, thereby preventing the gas water heater from continuing to burn when the water flow is excessive. This enables the gas water heater to maintain stable combustion and meet the normal performance requirements of the gas water heater.
