[0037] Detailed Implementation

[0038] To make the features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] In the following description, when referring to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0040] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting 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 that feature.

[0041] The following will provide a detailed description of each example. It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a water outlet device provided in an embodiment of this application. The water outlet device 1 includes a water storage component 20, an inlet 901, and an outlet 902. The water outlet device 1 refers to a device capable of storing and providing water on demand; it can be various types of equipment, such as a water dispenser, water heater, or integrated water purification and heating device (a water purification device that integrates water purification and heating functions). The water storage component 20 in the water outlet device 1 can be a simple water storage tank, or a hot water tank or storage vessel with heat preservation function. Water enters from the inlet 901 of the water outlet device 1, undergoes purification or heating treatment through related pipelines, the water storage component 20, and a filter component (if equipped), and is finally discharged through the outlet 902 for user use.

[0043] In related technologies, the water dispensing device 1 typically heats the water in the water storage component 20 to its boiling point and then stops heating. The user needs to immediately dispense water from the water dispensing device 1 after the water in the water storage component 20 has been heated to its boiling point to obtain hot water. If the user does not immediately dispense water from the water dispensing device 1 after it has heated the water in the water storage component 20 to its boiling point, the water temperature in the water storage component 20 will drop over time, potentially falling below the user's desired temperature and failing to meet their water needs.

[0044] To address the aforementioned problems, this application proposes a control method for a water dispensing device, mainly comprising: in response to the activation operation of the target function of the water dispensing device, firstly controlling the water dispensing device to rapidly heat the water in the water storage component using a relatively high 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 dispensing device is recorded. Before the waiting time reaches a reference time, the water in the water storage component is slowly heated using a relatively low second power to maintain its temperature above the target temperature. In this way, it can be ensured that the water dispensing device provides water at a temperature above the target temperature within a certain period of time, effectively meeting the user's water demand.

[0045] based on Figure 1 The structural diagram shown below will be combined with... Figure 2 - Figure 9The control method of the water outlet equipment provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail.

[0046] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a water outlet device provided in an embodiment of this application. The water outlet device includes a water storage component. Figure 2 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps S101-S103.

[0047] S101, in response to the start operation of the target function of the water outlet device, controls the water outlet device to heat the water in the water storage component based on the first power.

[0048] Specifically, the activation operation of the target function of the water outlet equipment refers to the operation by which the user activates the target function of the water outlet equipment in a certain way.

[0049] In one possible implementation, the user can activate the target function of the water dispensing device by pressing a physical button. Specifically, the user can trigger the activation of the target function by pressing, rotating, or touching the physical button on the water dispensing device.

[0050] In one possible implementation, users can activate the target function of the water dispensing device through its interactive interface. Specifically, users can use their fingers or styluses to select virtual buttons or menu options on the device's touchscreen / touch display to trigger the activation of the target function.

[0051] In one possible implementation, a user can initiate the target function of the water dispensing device through a user device that is communicatively connected to the device. This user device can be a mobile phone, tablet, smartwatch, or similar device. Specifically, the user sends a water dispensing command to the water dispensing device via an application or remote control function on their mobile phone, tablet, or smartwatch, thereby triggering the activation of the target function.

[0052] In addition, there are many other possible ways to activate the target function of the water outlet equipment, such as voice control, timer settings, and sensor triggering, which will not be listed here.

[0053] In response to the activation 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 a first power. Specifically, the water outlet device includes heating components, such as heating rods, heating plates, or heating films. The process of controlling the water outlet device to heat the water in the water storage component based on the first power involves using the heating components to continuously transfer heat to the water in the water storage component, causing the water temperature to gradually rise.

[0054] In one possible implementation, the water outlet device heats the water in the water storage component based on a fixed first power. In this method, from the start of heating until the target temperature is reached, the heating component always operates at a constant first power, unaffected by other factors.

[0055] In one possible implementation, the water outlet device heats the water in the water storage component based on a dynamic first power. In this approach, 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 storage component and the target temperature.

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

[0057] S102, after the water temperature in the water storage component reaches the predetermined target temperature, record the waiting time of the water outlet device. The target temperature is lower than the boiling point temperature of the water in the water storage component.

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

[0059] As the water outlet device heats the water in the storage component based on the initial power, the temperature of the water in the storage component gradually rises. During this process, it is necessary to compare the temperature of the water in the storage component with the target temperature to determine whether the water temperature in the storage component has reached the target temperature.

[0060] 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 changes in the water temperature within the storage component and converts this information into an electrical signal, thus enabling temperature monitoring. In one possible implementation, the temperature sensor can be fixed at a specific location within the water storage component, such as the bottom, middle, or top, to monitor the water temperature at that location. In another possible implementation, to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the water temperature distribution within the storage component, the water outlet device can be equipped with multiple temperature sensors, each positioned at a different location within the storage component.

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

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

[0063] Specifically, the reference duration involved in this embodiment is a predetermined time threshold. The purpose of introducing the reference duration is to ensure that the water in the water storage component can be maintained at a high temperature level within the time range during which the user may perform water dispensing 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 (such as 1 second).

[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 (such as 1 second as 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 requirements and there is no need to heat it. At this time, the water outlet device will remain in standby mode.

[0067] If the temperature of the water in the water storage component is lower than the target temperature, it indicates that the water in the water storage component does not meet the temperature requirements, and the water outlet device needs to be controlled to heat the water in the water storage component based on the second power.

[0068] Specifically, the first power is greater than the second power, meaning the second power is lower than the first power. The reason for using the lower second power for heating before the reference waiting time is reached is that the water temperature in the storage component is already close to the target temperature, requiring only a small amount of heat to maintain it. Using the second power for heating effectively prevents the water in the storage component from repeatedly boiling, reducing water quality deterioration, while also saving energy and extending the lifespan of the water outlet equipment.

[0069] In one possible implementation, the water outlet device heats the water in the water storage assembly based on a fixed second power. In this method, the heating assembly operates at a constant second power from the start of heating until the target temperature is reached, unaffected by other factors.

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

[0071] In one possible implementation, the water outlet device heats the water in the storage component based on a preset heating curve, and the second power is determined based on this heating curve. The heating curve is preset according to the heating characteristics of water and user needs, and it specifies the change law of power with 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 the expected manner.

[0072] Understandably, users may or may not operate the water dispensing device before the waiting time reaches the reference time. Regardless of whether water is dispensed, the water dispensing device will provide water at or above the target temperature to meet the user's water needs before the waiting time reaches the reference time.

[0073] In another possible implementation, after the waiting time reaches a reference duration, the water outlet device can be controlled to stop heating the water in the storage component, thus avoiding continuous energy consumption. Alternatively, the water outlet device can be controlled to issue a notification message indicating that heating has stopped or that the target function has been stopped.

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

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

[0076] Users can activate the target function through the interactive interface or physical buttons provided by the water dispensing device. In response to the activation of the target function, the water dispensing device begins to rapidly heat the water in the water storage component based on a first power P1 (let P1 = 2000W). During this process, the water dispensing device continuously transfers heat to the water using its internal heating components (such as heating rods).

[0077] As heating progresses, the built-in temperature sensor in the water outlet monitors and reports the water temperature in real time. When the water temperature in the storage component reaches the target temperature of 98℃, the water outlet automatically starts recording the waiting time T and enters standby mode. At this time, the waiting time T is continuously updated starting from 0 seconds.

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

[0079] During standby mode (before the waiting time T reaches the reference time Tref), the user can operate the water outlet at any time to obtain hot water above 98℃. If the user does not operate the water outlet for an extended period of time, and the waiting time T reaches the reference time Tref, the water outlet will automatically stop heating the water in the storage component.

[0080] In this embodiment, in response to the activation operation of the target function of the water dispensing device, the device is first controlled to rapidly heat the water in the water storage component using a relatively high first power. After the water temperature in the storage component reaches the target temperature below the boiling point, the waiting time of the water dispensing device is recorded. Before the waiting time reaches a reference time, the water in the storage component is slowly heated using a relatively low second power to maintain its temperature above the target temperature. This ensures that the water dispensing device provides water at or above the target temperature within a certain period, effectively meeting the user's water needs.

[0081] Please see Figure 3 This application provides a schematic diagram of a process for controlling the water output of a water outlet device, as illustrated in the embodiments of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following step S201, which may be performed in... Figure 2 The example shown is executed after step S102.

[0082] S201, before the waiting time reaches a predetermined reference time, in response to the water discharge operation of the water discharge device, controls the water discharge device to discharge water from the water storage component.

[0083] Specifically, before the waiting time reaches a predetermined reference time, the water dispensing device conditionally heats the water in the water storage component based on the second power, maintaining the water temperature in the storage component above the target temperature. At this time, if the user performs a water dispensing operation on the water dispensing device, the device can be controlled to discharge water from the storage component in response to the operation.

[0084] Specifically, the operation of water outlet equipment refers to the operation by which the user triggers the water outlet equipment to start dispensing water in some way.

[0085] In one possible implementation, the user can press a physical button on the water dispenser to control the water flow. Specifically, the user triggers the water flow operation by pressing, rotating, or touching a physical button on the water dispenser.

[0086] In one possible implementation, users can operate the water dispensing device through its interactive interface. Specifically, users can use their fingers or styluses to select virtual buttons or menu options on the device's touchscreen / touch display to trigger the water dispensing action.

[0087] In one possible implementation, a user can control the water dispensing device via a user device that is communicatively connected to the device. This user device can be a mobile phone, tablet, smartwatch, or similar device. Specifically, the user sends a water dispensing command to the device via an application or remote control function on their mobile phone, tablet, or smartwatch, thereby triggering the water dispensing operation.

[0088] In addition, there are many other possible ways to operate the water outlet equipment, such as voice control, timer settings, and sensor triggering, which will not be listed here.

[0089] The system controls the discharge of water from the water storage unit. Specifically, it controls the opening of the water outlet valve or the activation of the water pump, allowing water that has been heated and maintained at a target temperature in the storage unit to flow through the internal pipes of the system and ultimately be discharged from the outlet for user use. This ensures that users receive water at a suitable temperature that meets their needs.

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

[0091] Please see Figure 4 This application provides a schematic diagram of a process for controlling the water output after heating in an outlet water device, as shown in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the method in this embodiment may include the following steps S301-S302, and steps S301-S302 may be used as a method for... Figure 3 The detailed steps of step S201 in the illustrated embodiment, which are "in response to the water discharge operation of the water discharge device, control the water discharge device to discharge water from the water storage component", are further refined.

[0092] S301, in response to the water discharge operation of the water discharge device, controls the water discharge device to heat the water in the water storage component based on a third power, the third power being greater than the second power;

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

[0094] Specifically, for the definition of the water discharge operation of the water discharge device in this embodiment, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 The relevant explanations of the illustrated embodiment 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 higher power relative to the second power. The reason for using a larger third power to heat the water in response to the water outlet operation is that a larger third power can make the water temperature in the water storage component reach the boiling point temperature quickly, shortening the time from water outlet operation to water outlet.

[0095] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the third power and Figure 2 The magnitude relationship between the first power in the illustrated embodiment is such that the third power can be greater than the first power, less than the first power, or even equal to the first power.

[0096] Once the water in the storage unit reaches its boiling point, the water outlet device discharges the water from the storage unit. Specifically, this involves controlling the outlet device to open its outlet valve or start its water pump, allowing the water from the storage unit to flow through the internal piping and ultimately exit from the outlet for user use. In this way, users can obtain water at or near its boiling point.

[0097] In this embodiment, by responding to the user's water dispensing operation, a higher third power is immediately switched to heat the water in the water storage component, significantly shortening the time required for the water to heat to boiling, thereby achieving rapid dispensing of boiling water or water at near-boiling temperature. This embodiment not only improves the user's water usage efficiency but also ensures that the user can obtain water that meets the boiling point temperature requirements in a timely manner, thus improving the user experience.

[0098] In one embodiment, in Figure 3 After step S201 in the illustrated embodiment, or Figure 4 Following step S302 in the illustrated embodiment, the following steps are also included:

[0099] The water outlet equipment is controlled to stop heating the water in the water storage component.

[0100] Specifically, once the water outlet discharges water from the storage unit, it indicates that the user's water usage has ended. Continuing to heat the water in the storage unit at this point would result in unnecessary energy waste and could potentially degrade the water quality due to prolonged heating. Therefore, it is necessary to stop the water outlet from heating the water in the storage unit.

[0101] In practice, stopping the water outlet equipment from heating the water in the storage component can be achieved by turning off the power to the heating component or adjusting its power to zero. The heating component may include heating rods, heating plates, or heating films, etc. Upon receiving a stop heating command, the heating component will immediately stop transferring heat to the water in the storage component.

[0102] Another possible implementation is to control the water outlet device to stop heating the water in the water storage component in response to the water outlet operation, 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 finishes discharging water, it promptly stops heating the water in the storage component, effectively avoiding unnecessary energy waste and helping to maintain water quality, preventing water quality deterioration that may occur due to prolonged heating. Furthermore, reducing unnecessary heating not only saves energy but also reduces the workload on the heating components, extending the service life of the water outlet device.

[0104] Please see Figure 5 This document provides a flowchart for determining a target temperature in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the method in this embodiment may include the following steps S401-S403, and steps S401-S403 may be performed in... Figure 2 The procedure is performed before step S101 in the illustrated embodiment.

[0105] S401, Obtain the air pressure data of the environment where the water outlet equipment is located;

[0106] S402, Based on the air pressure data, determine the boiling point temperature of the water in the water storage component;

[0107] S403, determine the target temperature based on the boiling point temperature.

[0108] Specifically, the atmospheric pressure data of the environment where the water outlet equipment is located refers to the atmospheric pressure value at the current location of the equipment. Atmospheric pressure is a crucial factor affecting the boiling point temperature of water; the boiling point temperature of water varies under different atmospheric pressures. Therefore, in order to more accurately control the heating process of the water outlet equipment, it is necessary to obtain the atmospheric pressure data of the environment in which the equipment is located.

[0109] Regarding the acquisition of atmospheric pressure data of the environment where the water outlet equipment is located, one possible implementation is that the water outlet equipment can have a built-in atmospheric pressure sensor. This atmospheric pressure sensor can sense and measure the atmospheric pressure data of the environment where the water outlet equipment is located in real time, without relying on external devices or networks.

[0110] In one possible implementation, the water outlet device can send a pressure data acquisition request to the server, carrying the device's geographical location information. Upon receiving the request, the server uses the device's geographical location information to query relevant meteorological or pressure databases to obtain the ambient pressure data of the water outlet device's environment. The server then returns the acquired pressure data to the water outlet device. This method eliminates the need for the water outlet device to be equipped with a pressure sensor.

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

[0112] Furthermore, the target temperature is determined based on the boiling point temperature. Therefore, this process essentially involves adjusting downwards from the boiling point temperature to obtain a target temperature lower than the boiling point. One possible implementation is to subtract a fixed temperature value from the boiling point temperature to obtain the target temperature. Another possible implementation is to subtract a dynamic temperature adjustment amount from the boiling point temperature to obtain the target temperature. This temperature adjustment amount can be dynamically adjusted based on factors such as the water volume in the storage unit, the heating power of the water outlet equipment, and the user's water demand.

[0113] In this embodiment, by acquiring the air pressure data of the environment where the water outlet device is located, and determining the boiling point temperature of the water in the water storage component accordingly, the target temperature is precisely set, which significantly improves the accuracy and adaptability of the heating control of the water outlet device.

[0114] In one embodiment, based on Figure 5 The illustrated embodiment may further refine step S403 by including the following steps:

[0115] Obtain the index data of the water storage component, which represents the water volume of the water storage component;

[0116] The temperature adjustment amount is determined based on the index data of the water storage component. The water volume of the water storage component, as represented by the index data, is inversely proportional to the temperature adjustment amount.

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

[0118] Specifically, the larger the water volume in the water storage component, the more heat is required to heat the water in the storage component to raise its temperature to a certain level. Combined with... 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 before controlling the water outlet device to discharge the water from the water storage component, so that its temperature rises from the target temperature to the boiling point temperature, then the influence of the water volume in the water storage component can be taken into account when setting the target temperature, so as to avoid fluctuations in the water outlet device's water outlet response speed due to different water volumes in the water storage component.

[0119] First, it is necessary to obtain the performance data of the water storage component. This performance data characterizes the water volume of the storage component. For example, this data could be pressure data, water level data, weight data, etc., all of which can be converted into the water volume of the storage component based on certain formulas. Taking pressure data as an example, the water outlet device includes a pressure sensor located below the water storage component. The pressure data is collected by this sensor. If the relationship between pressure data and water volume is predetermined, then the water volume of the storage component can be determined based on this relationship and the pressure data. Similarly, taking water level data as an example, the water outlet device can include a water level sensor installed on the storage component. The water level data collected by the water level sensor, combined with the relationship between water level data and water volume, can also determine the water volume of the storage component. Taking weight data as another example, if the water storage component is equipped with a weight sensor, then the weight data collected by the weight sensor directly reflects the water volume of the storage component, because the weight of water is directly proportional to its volume (i.e., water volume) given a known density.

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

[0121] It is understandable that the inverse relationship between the water volume of the water storage component and the temperature adjustment amount 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; conversely, 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 temperature to obtain the target temperature.

[0123] The target temperature determined in this embodiment can also be used as... Figure 4 The target temperature of the illustrated embodiment, and Figure 4 The illustrated embodiment is described below. Specifically, in response to the water dispensing operation of the water dispensing device, the water dispensing device is controlled to heat the water in the water storage component based on a third power. This heating process involves the heating component of the water dispensing device transferring heat to the water in the water storage component. Assume that at the third power, the heating component transfers heat X to the water in the water storage component per unit time, and the boiling point temperature is 100°C. When the water volume in 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 in the water storage component is 10L, the corresponding target temperature is 98°C, and the water in the water storage component also needs heat X to rise from the target temperature of 98°C to the boiling point temperature of 100°C. Therefore, it can be seen that since different target temperatures are set for different water volumes in the water storage components, controlling the water dispensing device to heat the water in the water storage component based on the third power ensures 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 (it is always 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 the water outlet can still dispense water within a certain time when the water volume of the water storage component is different, thus avoiding fluctuations in the water outlet response speed caused by the different water volume of the water storage component.

[0124] In this embodiment, the temperature adjustment amount is dynamically adjusted according to the water volume in 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 becomes precise and controllable, avoiding the impact of different water volumes in the water storage component on the water outlet speed, and effectively improving the user experience.

[0125] Please see Figure 6 This application provides a schematic diagram of a process for controlling the heating of a water outlet device after water replenishment, as illustrated in the embodiments of this application. Figure 6 As shown, the method in this embodiment may include the following steps S501-S502, and steps S501-S502 may be used as a method for... Figure 2 The detailed steps of step S101 in the illustrated embodiment.

[0126] S501, in response to the activation operation of the target function of the water outlet equipment, controls the water outlet equipment to replenish water to the water storage component;

[0127] S502, 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.

[0128] Specifically, in addition to heating, the target function involved in this embodiment also supports water replenishment. The aforementioned heating water level is a pre-determined water level threshold based on the actual usage of the water outlet equipment 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 to a relatively high water level in the water storage component to ensure that there is sufficient water in the water storage component before heating.

[0129] Regarding the activation operation of the target function of the water outlet equipment, Figure 2 The illustrated embodiments provide relevant explanations, which will not be repeated here. In response to the activation 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 inlet of the water outlet device and flows into the water storage component through the relevant pipelines.

[0130] During the water replenishment process, it is necessary to obtain 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 corresponding water level detection information. In one 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 another possible implementation, the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component can indicate the water level in the water storage component. Based on determining the water level in the water storage component and the heating water level, it is possible to further determine 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. 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 component exceeds a predetermined heating water level, the water outlet device is controlled to heat the water in the water storage component based on a first power. Regarding the control of the water outlet device to heat the water in the water storage component based on the first power, in... Figure 2 The examples shown have relevant explanations, which will not be repeated here.

[0132] To better understand the relevant water levels mentioned in this embodiment, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 7 , Figure 7This is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of water level detection provided in an embodiment of this application. The water outlet device 1 includes a first water level probe 233 and a second water level probe 908, both of which are water level sensors. The water level probes determine the water level by detecting their contact with the water surface. Therefore, the first water level probe 233 can be considered a high water level probe, corresponding to the heated water level 905; the second water level probe 908 can be considered a low water level probe, corresponding to 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 whether the water level 903 in the water storage component is higher or lower than the heated 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 whether the water level 903 in the water storage component is higher or lower than the reference water level 904. Understandably, the reference water level 904 is a lower 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 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 sufficient water volume in the water storage component, 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 volume. 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, ensuring both heating speed and rational energy utilization.

[0134] Please see Figure 8 This application provides a schematic diagram of a process for controlling the water outlet device to stop heating, as shown in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following step S601, which may be performed in... Figure 2 The example shown is executed after step S102.

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

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

[0137] In other words, the system triggers a stop-heating command when the waiting time reaches a reference duration, sending this command to the heating element. Upon receiving the stop-heating command, the heating element ceases transferring heat to the water in the storage unit, thus ensuring the water outlet no longer consumes energy. After stopping heating, the heating element enters standby mode or shuts off completely, only restarting upon receiving the next heating command.

[0138] In one possible implementation, after the heating element stops heating, the water outlet device can generate and send a notification message to the user, informing them that the waiting time has reached a reference duration and the water outlet device has stopped heating the water in the storage component. This notification message can be conveyed through the water outlet device's display screen, indicator lights, sound prompts, or through a communication connection with the user's device (such as a mobile phone, tablet, etc.).

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

[0140] In one embodiment, the above can be combined Figure 2 - Figure 8 The illustrated embodiment implements control of the water outlet equipment. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of a water outlet device control process provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0141] First, in response to the activation of the target function of the water outlet device, the device is controlled to replenish water to the water storage component, during which the water level in the storage component will continuously rise. After the water level in the storage component exceeds a predetermined heating water level, the water outlet device is controlled to heat the water in the storage component based on a first power, so that the temperature of the water in the storage component gradually rises until it reaches a predetermined target temperature.

[0142] After the water in the water storage component reaches the target temperature, the waiting time for the water outlet is recorded. The target temperature is lower than the boiling point of the water in the water storage component. Understandably, the waiting time will be continuously updated during this process.

[0143] Then, the waiting time is compared with a predetermined reference time.

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

[0145] On one hand, the temperature of the water in the water storage component is compared with the target temperature. If the temperature of the water in the water storage component is not lower than the target temperature, there is no need to heat the water in the water storage component. If the temperature of the water in the water storage component is lower than the target temperature, the water outlet device needs to be controlled to heat the water in the water storage component based on the second power to maintain the water in the water storage component above the target temperature. Here, the first power is greater than the second power.

[0146] On the other hand, the user may or may not operate the water dispensing device. If the user operates the water dispensing device, then in response to this operation, the water dispensing device needs to be controlled to heat the water in the water storage component based on a third power, where the third power is greater than the second power. During this heating process, the temperature of the water in the water storage component will continuously rise. After the temperature of the water in the water storage component reaches its boiling point, the water dispensing device is controlled to discharge the water from the water storage component (equivalent to dispensing water). After dispensing the water from the water storage component, it is also necessary to further control the water dispensing device to stop heating the water in the water storage component. It should be noted that if a water dispensing operation occurs before the waiting time reaches the reference time, then the recording of the waiting time can be stopped (or the recording of the waiting time can be reset and stopped) after the water dispensing device discharges the water from the water storage component.

[0147] If the waiting time has not reached the reference time, the water outlet equipment needs to be controlled to stop heating the water in the water storage component.
