[0037] DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] In order to make the features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0039] When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Instead, they are only examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the attached claims.

[0040] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as suggesting or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0041] The following are detailed descriptions respectively. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments.

[0042] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of a water outlet device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Among them, the water outlet device 1 includes a water storage component 20, a water inlet 901 and a water outlet 902. The water outlet device 1 refers to a device that can store and provide water on demand, which can be various types of equipment, such as a water dispenser, a water heater, a water purification and heating integrated device (referring to a water purification device that integrates water purification and heating functions), etc. The water storage component 20 in the water outlet device 1 can be a simple water storage tank, or it can be a hot water tank or a water storage tank with a heat preservation function. Water enters from the water inlet 901 of the water outlet device 1, passes through the relevant pipelines, the water storage component 20 and the filter component (if equipped) for purification or heating and other treatments, and is finally discharged through the water outlet 902 for user use.

[0043] In the related art, the water outlet device 1 generally heats the water in the water storage component 20 to the boiling point and then stops heating. After the water in the water storage component 20 is heated to the boiling point, the user needs to immediately operate the water outlet device 1 to discharge water in order to obtain water at a higher temperature. If the water outlet device 1 heats the water in the water storage component 20 to the boiling point and the user does not immediately operate the water outlet device 1, the water in the water storage component 20 will decrease in temperature over time and may eventually be lower than the user's expected temperature, failing to meet the user's water needs.

[0044] In response to the above problems, the present application proposes a control method for a water outlet device, which mainly includes: in response to the start-up operation of the target function of the water outlet device, first control the water outlet device to quickly heat the water in the water storage component based on a larger first power. After the temperature of the water in the water storage component reaches the target temperature below the boiling point, record the waiting time of the water outlet device. Before the waiting time reaches the reference time, slowly heat the water in the water storage component based on a smaller second power to maintain its temperature above the target temperature. In this way, it can ensure that the water outlet device provides water above the target temperature within a certain period of time, effectively meeting the user's water demand.

[0045] based on Figure 1 The structure shown is shown below. Figure 2 - Fig. 9, the control method of the water outlet equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application is introduced in detail.

[0046] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 The flow chart of a control method of a water outlet device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. The water outlet device includes a water storage component. Figure 2 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps S101-S103.

[0047] S101, in response to a start-up operation of a target function of a water outlet device, controlling the water outlet device to heat water in a water storage assembly based on a first power.

[0048] Specifically, the start-up operation of the target function of the water outlet device refers to an operation in which the user starts the target function of the water outlet device in a certain manner.

[0049] In a possible implementation, the user can press a physical button of the water outlet device to start the target function of the water outlet device. Specifically, the user presses, rotates or touches the physical button on the water outlet device to trigger the start operation of the target function.

[0050] In a possible implementation, the user can start the target function of the water outlet device in the interactive interface provided by the water outlet device. Specifically, the user uses a finger or a stylus to select a virtual button or menu option on the touch screen / touch display of the water outlet device, thereby triggering the start operation of the target function.

[0051] In a possible implementation, the user can start the target function of the water outlet device through a user device that is communicatively connected to the water outlet device, and the user device can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart watch, etc. Specifically, the user sends a water outlet instruction to the water outlet device through an application or a remote control function on a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart watch, etc., thereby triggering the start operation of the target function.

[0052] In addition, there are many possible ways to start the target function of the water outlet device, such as through voice control, timing setting, sensor triggering, etc., which are not listed here one by one.

[0053] In response to the start-up operation of the target function of the water outlet device, the water outlet device is controlled to heat the water in the water storage component based on the first power. Specifically, the water outlet device includes a heating component, such as a heating rod, a heating plate or a heating film, and the process of controlling the water outlet device to heat the water in the water storage component based on the first power is to use the heating component to continuously transfer heat to the water in the water storage component so that the water temperature gradually rises.

[0054] In a possible implementation, the water outlet device is controlled to heat the water in the water storage component based on a fixed first power. In this way, from the start of heating to the reaching of the target temperature, the heating component always works at the constant first power without being affected by other factors.

[0055] In a possible implementation, the water outlet device is controlled to heat the water in the water storage component based on the dynamic first power. In this way, the water outlet device dynamically adjusts the first power of the heating component according to the difference between the temperature of the water in the water storage component and the target temperature.

[0056] In one possible implementation, the water outlet device is controlled to heat the water in the water storage component based on a preset heating curve, and the first power is determined based on the heating curve. The heating curve is pre-set according to the heating characteristics of the water and user needs, and it specifies the law of change of power over time or water temperature during the heating process. The water outlet device will automatically adjust the power of the heating component (i.e., the first power) according to this heating curve to ensure that the water temperature can gradually rise to the target temperature in an expected manner.

[0057] S102, after the temperature of the water in the water storage assembly reaches a predetermined target temperature, the waiting time of the water outlet device is recorded, and the target temperature is lower than the boiling point temperature of the water in the water storage assembly.

[0058] Specifically, the target temperature involved in this embodiment is lower than the boiling point of the water in the water storage component. Generally, the deviation between the target temperature and the boiling point is not large, which means that the water reaching the target temperature can be regarded as hot water and can meet the daily water needs of the user. For example, the boiling point of the water in the water storage component is 100°C, and the target temperature is 98°C.

[0059] As the water outlet device heats the water in the water storage assembly based on the first power, the temperature of the water in the water storage assembly gradually rises. In this process, the temperature of the water in the water storage assembly needs to be compared with the target temperature to determine whether the temperature of the water in the water storage assembly has reached the target temperature.

[0060] Among them, the water outlet device includes a temperature sensor, and the temperature of the water in the water storage component is determined by the temperature data collected by the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor senses the temperature change of the water in the water storage component and converts it into an electrical signal, thereby realizing the perception of the water temperature. In one possible implementation, the temperature sensor can be fixed at a specific position of the water storage component, such as the bottom, middle or top, to monitor the water temperature at that position. In one possible implementation, in order to more comprehensively understand the water temperature distribution inside the water storage component, the water outlet device can be equipped with multiple temperature sensors, which are arranged at different positions of the water storage component.

[0061] After the temperature of the water in the water storage assembly reaches a predetermined target temperature, the waiting time of the water outlet device is recorded. In one case, the waiting time starts from the moment when the temperature of the water in the water storage assembly reaches the target temperature, and is continuously recorded using a timer or a similar functional unit. It is understandable that the waiting time actually increases dynamically.

[0062] S103, before the waiting time reaches a predetermined reference time, if the temperature of the water in the water storage assembly is lower than the target temperature, the water outlet device is controlled to heat the water in the water storage assembly based on the second power, and the first power is greater than the second power.

[0063] Specifically, the reference time involved in this embodiment is a predetermined time threshold, and the reference time is introduced to ensure that the water in the water storage component can be maintained at a higher temperature level within the time range in which the user may perform water discharge operations.

[0064] After recording the waiting time, it is necessary to compare the waiting time with a predetermined reference time in real time or according to a preset period (for example, 1 second is a preset period).

[0065] Before the waiting time reaches the reference time, in order to maintain the temperature of the water in the water storage component, it is necessary to compare the temperature of the water in the water storage component with the target temperature in real time or according to a preset cycle (for example, 1 second is also the preset cycle).

[0066] If the temperature of the water in the water storage component is not lower than the target temperature, it indicates that the water in the water storage component meets the temperature requirement and does not need to be heated. At this time, the water outlet device will remain in standby mode.

[0067] If the temperature of the water in the water storage assembly is lower than the target temperature, it indicates that the water in the water storage assembly does not meet the temperature requirement, and it is necessary to control the water outlet device to heat the water in the water storage assembly based on the second power.

[0068] Specifically, the first power is greater than the second power, that is, the second power is a smaller power relative to the first power. The reason why the smaller second power is used for heating before the waiting time reaches the reference time is because the temperature of the water in the water storage component is close to the target temperature, and only a small amount of heat supplement is needed to maintain the water temperature. Using the second power for heating can effectively avoid repeated boiling of the water in the water storage component, reduce the deterioration of water quality, and also play a role in energy saving and consumption reduction, extending the service life of the water outlet equipment.

[0069] In a possible implementation, the water outlet device is controlled to heat the water in the water storage component based on a fixed second power. In this way, from the start of heating to the reaching of the target temperature, the heating component always works at the constant second power without being affected by other factors.

[0070] In a possible implementation, the water outlet device is controlled to heat the water in the water storage component based on the dynamic second power. In this way, the water outlet device dynamically adjusts the second power of the heating component according to the difference between the temperature of the water in the water storage component and the target temperature.

[0071] In one possible implementation, the water outlet device is controlled to heat the water in the water storage component based on a preset heating curve, and the second power is determined based on the heating curve. The heating curve is preset according to the heating characteristics of the water and user needs, and it specifies the law of change of power over time or water temperature during the heating process. The water outlet device will automatically adjust the power of the heating component (i.e., the second power) according to this heating curve to ensure that the water temperature can gradually rise to the target temperature in an expected manner.

[0072] It is understandable that before the waiting time reaches the reference time, the user may not perform a water discharge operation on the water discharge device, or may perform a water discharge operation on the water discharge device. Regardless of whether there is a water discharge operation or not, before the waiting time reaches the reference time, the water discharge device can provide water above the target temperature to meet the user's water demand.

[0073] In another possible implementation, after the waiting time reaches the reference time, the water outlet device can be controlled to stop heating the water in the water storage component to avoid continuous energy consumption. Alternatively, on this basis, the water outlet device is controlled to send a prompt message indicating that the water outlet device has stopped heating or that the target function has stopped.

[0074] To facilitate understanding of the present embodiment, an example is provided below.

[0075] Assume that the boiling point of water in the water storage component of the water outlet device is 100°C and the target temperature is set to 98°C.

[0076] The user starts the target function through the interactive interface or physical button provided by the water outlet device. In response to the start-up operation of the target function, the water outlet device starts to quickly heat the water in the water storage component based on the first power P1 (assuming P1 = 2000W). During this process, the water outlet device uses its internal heating component (such as a heating rod) to continuously transfer heat to the water.

[0077] As the heating progresses, the temperature sensor built into the water outlet device monitors and feeds back water temperature information in real time. When the temperature of the water in the water storage component reaches the target temperature of 98°C, the water outlet device automatically starts recording the waiting time T and switches to standby mode. At this time, the waiting time T is continuously updated from 0 seconds.

[0078] Before the waiting time T reaches the preset reference time Tref (assuming Tref = 10 minutes), the water outlet device will continuously compare T with Tref and monitor the temperature of the water in the water storage component at the same time. If the temperature of the water in the water storage component drops below the target temperature of 98°C (possibly due to the influence of the ambient temperature or the natural heat dissipation of the water storage component), the water outlet device uses a smaller second power P2 (assuming P2 = 500W) to slowly heat the water in the water storage component to maintain the temperature of the water in the water storage component above the target temperature of 98°C.

[0079] During the standby state (before the waiting time T reaches the reference time Tref), the user can operate the water outlet device at any time to obtain hot water above 98°C from the water outlet device. If the user does not operate the water outlet device for a long time and the waiting time T reaches the reference time Tref, the water outlet device can automatically stop heating the water in the water storage component.

[0080] In this embodiment, in response to the start-up operation of the target function of the water outlet device, the water outlet device is first controlled to quickly heat the water in the water storage component based on the larger first power. After the temperature of the water in the water storage component reaches the target temperature below the boiling point, the waiting time of the water outlet device is recorded. Before the waiting time reaches the reference time, the water in the water storage component is slowly heated based on the smaller second power to maintain its temperature above the target temperature. In this way, it can be ensured that the water outlet device provides water above the target temperature within a certain period of time, effectively meeting the user's water demand.

[0081] See also Figure 3 , provides a schematic diagram of a flow chart of controlling water discharge of a water discharge device in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps S201. Step S201 may be Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, step S102 is performed afterwards.

[0082] S201, before the waiting time reaches a predetermined reference time, in response to a water outlet operation on the water outlet device, controlling the water outlet device to discharge water in the water storage assembly.

[0083] Specifically, before the waiting time reaches a predetermined reference time, the water outlet device conditionally heats the water in the water storage assembly based on the second power, so that the temperature of the water in the water storage assembly is maintained above the target temperature. At this time, if the user operates the water outlet device to outlet water, the water outlet device can be controlled to discharge the water in the water storage assembly in response to the water outlet operation on the water outlet device.

[0084] Specifically, the water outlet operation of the water outlet device refers to an operation in which a user triggers the water outlet device to start outlet water in some way.

[0085] In a possible implementation, the user can press a physical button of the water outlet device to implement the water outlet operation of the water outlet device. Specifically, the user triggers the water outlet operation by pressing, rotating or touching the physical button on the water outlet device.

[0086] In a possible implementation, the user can implement water dispensing operation on the water dispensing device in the interactive interface provided by the water dispensing device. Specifically, the user uses a finger or a stylus to select a virtual button or menu option on the touch screen / touch display of the water dispensing device, thereby triggering the water dispensing operation.

[0087] In a possible implementation, the user can implement the water outlet operation of the water outlet device through a user device that is communicatively connected to the water outlet device, and the user device can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart watch, etc. Specifically, the user sends a water outlet instruction to the water outlet device through an application or a remote control function on a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart watch, etc., thereby triggering the water outlet operation.

[0088] In addition, there are many possible ways to implement the water outlet operation of the water outlet device, such as through voice control, timing setting, sensor triggering, etc., which are not listed here one by one.

[0089] Control the water outlet device to discharge the water in the water storage component, specifically, control the water outlet device to open the water outlet valve of the water outlet device or start the water pump and other components of the water outlet device, so that the water in the water storage component that has been heated and maintained above the target temperature passes through the pipeline inside the water outlet device, and is finally discharged from the water outlet of the water outlet device for use by the user. In this way, the user can obtain water with a suitable temperature and meeting the use requirements.

[0090] In this embodiment, the water in the water storage component is heated conditionally based on the second power and maintained above the target temperature. During this period, the water in the water storage component is discharged immediately in response to the user's water discharge operation, thereby achieving a rapid response and efficient satisfaction of user needs. The user does not need to wait for a long time for the water temperature to be heated to a suitable temperature, and can obtain water above the target temperature, which improves the convenience and comfort of water use.

[0091] See also Figure 4 , a schematic diagram of a process for controlling the water outlet device to discharge water after heating is provided for an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps S301-S302, and steps S301-S302 may be used as Figure 3 The illustrated embodiment shows a detailed step of step S201 of "controlling the water outlet device to discharge water from the water storage component in response to the water outlet operation of the water outlet device".

[0092] S301, in response to a water outlet operation of the water outlet device, controlling the water outlet device to heat water in the water storage assembly based on a third power, where the third power is greater than the second power;

[0093] S302, after the temperature of the water in the water storage assembly reaches the boiling point, control the water outlet device to discharge the water in the water storage assembly.

[0094] Specifically, for the definition of the water discharge operation of the water discharge device in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The explanation of the embodiment shown will not be repeated here. The third power involved in this embodiment is greater than the second power, that is, the third power is a larger power relative to the second power. The reason why a larger third power is used to heat the water in the water storage component in response to the water discharge operation of the water discharge device is that the larger third power can make the temperature of the water in the water storage component quickly reach the boiling point temperature, shortening the time from the water discharge operation to the water discharge.

[0095] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the third power and Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the third power has a magnitude relationship with the first power. The third power may be greater than the first power, or less than the first power, or even equal to the first power.

[0096] After the temperature of the water in the water storage component reaches the boiling point, the water outlet device is controlled to discharge the water in the water storage component. Specifically, the water outlet device is controlled to open the water outlet valve of the water outlet device or start the water pump and other components of the water outlet device, so that the water in the water storage component passes through the pipeline inside the water outlet device and is finally discharged from the water outlet of the water outlet device for use by the user. In this way, the user can obtain water at or close to the boiling point.

[0097] In this embodiment, by responding to the user's water discharge operation, the third power is switched to a higher power to heat the water in the water storage component, which significantly shortens the time required for the water to boil, thereby achieving rapid discharge of boiling water or water close to the boiling point. This embodiment not only improves the user's water use efficiency, but also ensures that the user can obtain water that meets the boiling point temperature requirement in a timely manner, thereby improving the user experience.

[0098] In one embodiment, Figure 3 After step S201 in the embodiment shown, or Figure 4 After step S302, the embodiment shown further includes the following steps:

[0099] The water outlet device is controlled to stop heating the water in the water storage assembly.

[0100] Specifically, after the water outlet device is controlled to discharge the water in the water storage component, it indicates that the user has finished using the water this time. At this time, continuing to heat the water in the water storage component will cause unnecessary energy waste and may cause the water quality to deteriorate due to long-term heating. Therefore, it is necessary to control the water outlet device to stop heating the water in the water storage component.

[0101] In specific implementation, controlling the water outlet device to stop heating the water in the water storage component can be achieved by turning off the power of the heating component or adjusting its power to zero. The heating component may include a heating rod, a heating plate, or a heating film. After receiving the stop heating instruction, the heating component will immediately stop transferring heat to the water in the water storage component.

[0102] In addition, another possible implementation method is to control the water outlet device to stop heating the water in the water storage component in response to the water outlet operation of the water outlet device, and then control the water outlet device to discharge the water in the water storage component.

[0103] In this embodiment, after the water outlet device has finished discharging water, it is promptly controlled to stop heating the water in the water storage component, which effectively avoids unnecessary energy waste, helps maintain water quality, and avoids the problem of water quality deterioration that may be caused by long-term heating. In addition, because reducing unnecessary heating not only saves energy, but also reduces the workload of the heating component, and prolongs the service life of the water outlet device.

[0104] See also Figure 5 , a schematic diagram of a process for determining a target temperature is provided for an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps S401-S403, and steps S401-S403 may be Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, step S101 is performed before the above step.

[0105] S401, obtaining air pressure data of the environment in which the water outlet device is located;

[0106] S402, determining the boiling point temperature of water in the water storage component according to the air pressure data;

[0107] S403, determining the target temperature according to the boiling point temperature.

[0108] Specifically, the air pressure data of the environment in which the water outlet device is located refers to the atmospheric pressure value of the current location of the water outlet device. The air pressure represented by the atmospheric pressure value is an important factor affecting the boiling point temperature of water. The boiling point temperature of water will be different under different air pressures. Therefore, in order to more accurately control the heating process of the water outlet device, it is necessary to obtain the air pressure data of the environment in which the water outlet device is located.

[0109] Regarding obtaining the air pressure data of the environment in which the water outlet device is located, in a possible implementation, the water outlet device may have a built-in air pressure sensor. The air pressure sensor can sense and measure the air pressure data of the environment in which the water outlet device is located in real time, and this method does not need to rely on external equipment or networks.

[0110] In a possible implementation, the water outlet device may send a request to obtain air pressure data to the server, and the request carries the geographical location information of the water outlet device. After receiving the request, the server will obtain the air pressure data of the environment where the water outlet device is located by querying the relevant meteorological database or air pressure database according to the geographical location information of the water outlet device in the request. Then, the server returns the obtained air pressure data to the water outlet device. This method does not require the water outlet device to be equipped with an air pressure sensor.

[0111] Furthermore, the boiling point temperature of the water in the water storage component is determined according to the air pressure data. Specifically, according to the acquired air pressure data, the boiling point temperature of the water at the atmospheric pressure value corresponding to the air pressure data is calculated using the known relationship between the boiling point temperature and the atmospheric pressure value. In this way, the water outlet device can accurately determine the boiling point temperature of the water in the water storage component according to the actual air pressure conditions of the environment.

[0112] Furthermore, the target temperature is determined based on the boiling point temperature. Therefore, the process is actually to adjust downward based on the boiling point temperature to obtain a target temperature lower than the boiling point temperature. In one possible implementation, the boiling point temperature can be subtracted from a fixed temperature value to obtain the target temperature. In one possible implementation, the boiling point temperature can be subtracted from a dynamic temperature adjustment amount to obtain the target temperature. This temperature adjustment amount can be dynamically adjusted based on factors such as the water volume of the water storage component, the heating power of the water outlet device, and the user's water demand.

[0113] In this embodiment, by obtaining the air pressure data of the environment in which the water outlet device is located, and determining the boiling point temperature of the water in the water storage component accordingly, and then accurately setting the target temperature, the accuracy and adaptability of the heating control of the water outlet device are significantly improved.

[0114] In one embodiment, based on Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, step S403 is further refined and may further include the following steps:

[0115] Acquire index data of the water storage component, where the index data of the water storage component represents the water volume of the water storage component;

[0116] Determine the temperature adjustment amount according to the index data of the water storage component, wherein the amount of water in the water storage component represented by the index data of the water storage component is inversely proportional to the temperature adjustment amount;

[0117] Subtract the temperature adjustment amount from the boiling point to obtain the target temperature.

[0118] Specifically, the greater the amount of water in the water storage component, the more heat is required to heat the water in the water storage component to raise its temperature to a certain level. Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, if it is necessary to control the water outlet device to heat the water in the water storage component based on the third power so that its temperature rises from the target temperature to the boiling point before controlling the water outlet device to discharge the water in the water storage component, then the influence of the water amount in the water storage component can be considered when setting the target temperature to avoid fluctuations in the water outlet response speed of the water outlet device due to different water amounts in the water storage component.

[0119] First, it is necessary to obtain the index data of the water storage component. Among them, the index data of the water storage component represents the water volume of the water storage component. For example, the above index data can be pressure data, water level data, weight data, etc. These index data can be converted into the water volume of the water storage component based on a certain relationship. Taking pressure data as an example, the water outlet device includes a pressure sensor arranged under the water storage component, and the pressure data is collected by the pressure sensor. If the relationship between the pressure data and the water volume is determined in advance, then the water volume of the water storage component can be determined according to the relationship and the pressure data. Similarly, taking water level data as an example, the water outlet device may include a water level sensor arranged for the water storage component. The water level data collected by the water level sensor, combined with the relationship between the water level data and the water volume, can also determine the water volume of the water storage component. Taking weight data as an example, if the water storage component is equipped with a weight sensor, then the weight data collected by the weight sensor can directly reflect the water volume of the water storage component, because the weight of water is proportional to its volume (i.e., the water volume) when the density is known.

[0120] Furthermore, the temperature adjustment amount is determined according to the index data of the water storage component, and the water volume of the water storage component represented by the index data of the water storage component is inversely proportional to the temperature adjustment amount. In a possible implementation, the mapping relationship between the water volume of the water storage component and the temperature adjustment amount can be recorded in a database, a data table or other file storing data. After obtaining the water volume of the water storage component, the temperature adjustment amount corresponding to the water volume of the water storage component can be obtained by querying the database, data table or other file storing data.

[0121] It can be understood that the water volume of the water storage component is inversely proportional to the temperature adjustment amount, which means that the larger the water volume of the water storage component, the smaller the temperature adjustment amount, and the higher the target temperature obtained by subtracting the temperature adjustment amount from the boiling point temperature; the smaller the water volume of the water storage component, the larger the temperature adjustment amount, and the lower the target temperature obtained by subtracting the temperature adjustment amount from the boiling point temperature.

[0122] Finally, subtract the temperature adjustment amount from the boiling point to get the target temperature.

[0123] The target temperature determined in this embodiment can actually be used as Figure 4 The target temperature of the embodiment shown is Figure 4 The illustrated embodiments are combined. Specifically, in response to the water outlet operation of the water outlet device, the water outlet device is controlled to heat the water in the water storage component based on the third power, and the heating process is that the heating component of the water outlet device transfers heat to the water in the water storage component. Assume that under the third power, the heating component transfers heat X to the water in the water storage component in unit time, and the boiling point temperature is 100°C. When the water volume of the water storage component is 5L, the corresponding target temperature is 96°C, and the water in the water storage component needs heat X to rise from the target temperature of 96°C to the boiling point temperature of 100°C; when the water volume of the water storage component is 10L, the corresponding target temperature is 98°C, and the water in the water storage component needs heat X to rise from the target temperature of 98°C to the boiling point temperature of 100°C. It can be seen that since different target temperatures are set for the water volumes of different water storage components, the water outlet device is controlled to heat the water in the water storage component based on the third power, so that the time required for the water in the water storage component to rise from the target temperature to the boiling point temperature is consistent (both are the unit time required for the heating component to transfer heat X to the water in the water storage component). In this way, it can be ensured that when the water volume in the water storage component is different, the water outlet device can also outlet water within a certain period of time, thereby avoiding fluctuations in the water outlet response speed of the water outlet device due to different water volumes in the water storage component.

[0124] In this embodiment, the temperature adjustment amount is dynamically adjusted according to the water volume of the water storage component, and then the target temperature is determined based on the temperature adjustment amount and the boiling point temperature. Under the guidance of the target temperature, the heating process of the water outlet device becomes precisely controllable, avoiding the influence of different water volumes in the water storage component on the water outlet speed of the water outlet device, and effectively improving the user experience.

[0125] See also Figure 6 , a schematic diagram of a flow chart for controlling the heating of a water outlet device after water replenishment is provided for an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 6 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps S501-S502, and steps S501-S502 may be used as Figure 2 The detailed steps of step S101 of the embodiment are shown.

[0126] S501, in response to a start-up operation of a target function of a water outlet device, controlling the water outlet device to replenish water to a water storage component;

[0127] S502: After the water level in the water storage assembly is higher than a predetermined heating water level, control the water outlet device to heat the water in the water storage assembly based on a first power.

[0128] Specifically, in addition to heating, the target function involved in this embodiment also supports water replenishment. The above-mentioned heating water level is a water level threshold predetermined according to the actual use of the water outlet device and user needs. This water level threshold is used to determine whether the water in the water storage component has reached a suitable amount for heating. Since the heating process usually requires a certain amount of water to ensure heating efficiency and safety, the heating water level is configured as a higher water level in the water storage component to ensure that there is enough water in the water storage component before heating.

[0129] Regarding the start-up operation of the target function of the water outlet equipment, Figure 2 The illustrated embodiment has relevant explanations, which will not be repeated here. In response to the start-up operation of the target function of the water outlet device, the water outlet device is controlled to replenish water to the water storage component. Specifically, the water outlet device is controlled to open the water replenishment valve or start the water replenishment pump, so that water enters from the water inlet of the water outlet device and flows into the water storage component through the relevant pipeline.

[0130] In the process of replenishing water, it is necessary to obtain the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component. Specifically, the water level sensor inside the water outlet device detects the water level in the water storage component and generates water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component. In a possible implementation, the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component can directly indicate the relationship between the water level in the water storage component and the heating water level, for example, the water level in the water storage component is higher than the heating water level, or the water level in the water storage component is not higher than the heating water level. In a possible implementation, the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component can indicate the water level in the water storage component. On the basis of determining the water level in the water storage component and the heating water level, the relationship between the water level in the water storage component and the heating water level can be further determined, for example, the water level in the water storage component is higher than the heating water level, or the water level in the water storage component is not higher than the heating water level, that is, the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component indirectly indicates the relationship between the water level in the water storage component and the heating water level.

[0131] After the water level in the water storage assembly is higher than the predetermined heating water level, the water outlet device is controlled to heat the water in the water storage assembly based on the first power. Figure 2 The relevant explanations are given in the illustrated embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0132] To understand the relevant water levels in this example, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7It is an example schematic diagram of a water level provided in an embodiment of the present application. Among them, the water outlet device 1 includes a first water level probe 233 and a second water level probe 908, and the first water level probe 233 and the second water level probe 908 are both water level sensors. The water level probe determines the height of the water level by detecting the contact between it and the water surface. Therefore, the first water level probe 233 can be regarded as a high water level probe, and its corresponding detection water level is the heating water level 905; the second water level probe 908 can be regarded as a low water level probe, and its corresponding detection water level is the reference water level 904. The "water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component" provided by the first water level probe 233 can directly indicate that the water level 903 in the water storage component is higher / not higher than the heating water level 905; the "water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component" provided by the second water level probe 908 can directly indicate that the water level 903 in the water storage component is higher / not higher than the reference water level 904. It can be understood that the reference water level 904 is a low water level relative to the heating water level 905 , and in some cases can be used as a reference for whether to control the water outlet device 1 to replenish water to the water storage component 20 .

[0133] In this embodiment, in response to the activation of the target function, the water outlet device automatically performs a water replenishment operation to ensure that the water storage component has sufficient water, laying a good foundation for the subsequent heating process. By setting the heating water level as a threshold, the water outlet device can intelligently determine when to start heating, avoiding low heating efficiency or safety hazards caused by insufficient water. After the water level in the water storage component reaches the heating water level, the water outlet device automatically switches to the first power for heating, which not only ensures the heating speed, but also realizes the rational use of energy.

[0134] See also Figure 8 , a schematic diagram of a flow chart for controlling a water outlet device to stop heating is provided for an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 8 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps S601. Step S601 may be Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, step S102 is performed afterwards.

[0135] S601, after the waiting time reaches a predetermined reference time, the water outlet device is controlled to stop heating the water in the water storage component.

[0136] Specifically, to avoid continuous energy consumption, regardless of whether the user performs water outlet operation on the water outlet device, the water outlet device needs to be controlled to stop heating the water in the water storage component after the waiting time reaches a predetermined reference time.

[0137] That is, the waiting time reaches the reference time as a trigger condition, triggering the water outlet device to generate a stop heating instruction and send the stop heating instruction to the heating component. The heating component receives the stop heating instruction and stops transferring heat to the water in the water storage component according to the stop heating instruction, thereby ensuring that the water outlet device no longer consumes energy. After stopping heating, the heating component will enter a standby state or shut down completely until it receives a heating instruction next time and then restarts.

[0138] In a possible implementation, after the heating component stops heating, the water outlet device may generate and send a prompt message to the user, informing the user that the waiting time has reached the reference time and the water outlet device has stopped heating the water in the water storage component. The prompt message may be conveyed through a display screen, indicator light, sound prompt of the water outlet device or a communication connection with a user device (such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, etc.).

[0139] In this embodiment, after the waiting time reaches the reference time, the water outlet device automatically stops heating, thereby avoiding energy waste caused by long-term ineffective heating and improving the safety of the water outlet device.

[0140] In one embodiment, the above Figure 2 - Figure 8 The embodiment shown realizes the control of the water outlet device. Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 It is a flow chart of a water outlet device control provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0141] First, in response to the start-up operation of the target function of the water outlet device, the water outlet device is controlled to replenish the water storage component, during which the water level in the water storage component will continue to rise. After the water level in the water storage component is higher than the predetermined heating water level, the water outlet device is controlled to heat the water in the water storage component based on the first power, so that the temperature of the water in the water storage component gradually rises until it reaches the predetermined target temperature.

[0142] After the temperature of the water in the water storage assembly reaches the target temperature, the waiting time of the water outlet device is recorded, wherein the target temperature is lower than the boiling point temperature of the water in the water storage assembly. It is understandable that the waiting time will be continuously updated during this process.

[0143] The waiting time is then compared with a predetermined reference time.

[0144] Before the waiting time reaches the reference time, two steps need to be performed:

[0145] On the one hand, the temperature of the water in the water storage assembly is compared with the target temperature. If the temperature of the water in the water storage assembly is not lower than the target temperature, the water in the water storage assembly does not need to be heated. If the temperature of the water in the water storage assembly is lower than the target temperature, the water outlet device needs to be controlled to heat the water in the water storage assembly based on the second power so that the water in the water storage assembly is maintained above the target temperature. The first power is greater than the second power.

[0146] On the other hand, the user may not perform the water outlet operation on the water outlet device, or may perform the water outlet operation on the water outlet device. If the user performs the water outlet operation on the water outlet device, then in response to the water outlet operation on the water outlet device, it is necessary to control the water outlet device to heat the water in the water storage component based on the third power. Among them, the third power is greater than the second power. During this heating process, the temperature of the water in the water storage component will continue to rise. After the temperature of the water in the water storage component reaches the boiling point, the water outlet device is controlled to discharge the water in the water storage component (equivalent to the water outlet device discharging water). After controlling the water outlet device to discharge the water in the water storage component, it is necessary to further control the water outlet device to stop heating the water in the water storage component. It should be noted that if there is a water outlet operation before the waiting time reaches the reference time, the waiting time can be stopped from being recorded (or the waiting time can be reset and stopped) after the water outlet device is controlled to discharge the water in the water storage component.

[0147] After the waiting time does not reach the reference time, the water outlet device needs to be controlled to stop heating the water in the water storage component.

[0148] The effects that can be achieved by this embodiment can be found in the relevant embodiments of the control method of the water outlet device mentioned above, which will not be described in detail here.

[0160] The effects that can be achieved by this embodiment can be found in the relevant embodiments of the control method of the water outlet device mentioned above, which will not be described in detail here.

[0161] Based on the above Figure 1 The structure of Fig.11 The water outlet device provided in the embodiment of the present application is introduced in detail. It should be noted that: Fig.11 The water outlet device is used to implement this application Figure 2 - Fig. 9 For the convenience of explanation, only the part related to the embodiment of the present application is shown. For the specific technical details not disclosed, please refer to the present application. Figure 2 - Fig. 9 Specifically, the water outlet device 1 may include a memory 906, a processor 907 and a water storage component 20;

[0162] The processor 907 is electrically connected to the memory 906 .

[0163] The processor 907 is the control center of the water outlet device 1, and may include one or more processing cores. The processor 907 uses various interfaces and lines to connect the various parts of the entire water outlet device 1, and executes various functions and processes data of the water outlet device 1 by running or calling the computer program stored in the memory 906, and calling the data stored in the memory 906, so as to control the water outlet device 1 as a whole.

[0168] After the temperature of the water in the water storage assembly reaches a predetermined target temperature, recording the waiting time of the water outlet device, the target temperature being lower than the boiling point temperature of the water in the water storage assembly;

[0169] Before the waiting time reaches a predetermined reference time, if the temperature of the water in the water storage assembly is lower than the target temperature, the water outlet device is controlled to heat the water in the water storage assembly based on the second power, and the first power is greater than the second power.

[0170] Optionally, after recording the waiting time of the water outlet device, the processor 907 specifically performs: before the waiting time reaches a predetermined reference time, in response to the water outlet operation of the water outlet device, controlling the water outlet device to discharge water in the water storage component.
