[0032] Detailed Implementation

[0033] 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.

[0034] 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.

[0035] 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.

[0036] 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.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1This 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.

[0038] In the actual application scenario of water dispensing device 1, users may perform multiple consecutive water dispensing operations on device 1 within a short period of time, meaning they frequently use device 1 to obtain water. In this case, if device 1 immediately replenishes water to the storage component 20 after each dispensing operation, the replenished water may have a temperature difference with the original water in the storage component 20, causing temperature fluctuations in the water. For example, if the original water in the storage component 20 is hot water that has been heated, while the replenished water is cold water that has not been heated, then the water obtained by the user when dispensing water from device 1 again will be colder than the original water in the storage component 20. In this situation, if the user expected hot water but received cold water, it may negatively impact the user experience. Similarly, if the original water in the storage component 20 is cold water and the replenished water is hot water, and the user expected cold water but received hot water, it may also negatively impact the user experience.

[0039] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a control method for a water dispensing device, primarily comprising: in response to a current water dispensing operation, firstly acquiring water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component. If the water level detection information indicates that the water level in the water storage component is higher than a predetermined reference water level, then recording the waiting time after the current water dispensing operation and acquiring the target reference waiting time corresponding to the current water dispensing operation. After the waiting time reaches the target reference waiting time, controlling the water dispensing device to replenish water to the water storage component. This effectively avoids the water temperature fluctuation problem that may result from immediately replenishing water after the current water dispensing operation, and can provide users with water at a stable temperature for a certain period of time, thereby improving the user experience.

[0040] based on Figure 1 The structural diagram shown below will be combined with... Figure 2 - Figure 9 The control method of the water outlet equipment provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail.

[0041] 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.

[0042] S101, in response to the current water discharge operation of the water discharge device, obtains the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component.

[0043] 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.

[0044] 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.

[0045] 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.

[0046] 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.

[0047] In addition, there are several other possible ways to operate the water dispensing device, such as voice control, timer settings, and sensor triggering, which will not be listed here. The current water dispensing operation of the water dispensing device refers to the most recent water dispensing operation triggered by the user.

[0048] In response to the current water dispensing operation of the water dispensing device, the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component is obtained. Specifically, after the water dispensing device starts dispensing water, the water level sensor inside the water dispensing device will detect the water level in the water storage component and generate the corresponding water level detection information for the water storage component.

[0049] 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 reference water level. For example, the water level in the water storage component is higher than the reference water level, or the water level in the water storage component is not higher than the reference 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 reference water level, it is possible to further determine the relationship between the water level in the water storage component and the reference water level. For example, the water level in the water storage component is higher than the reference water level, or the water level in the water storage component is not higher than the reference 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 reference water level.

[0050] The water level detection information corresponding to the aforementioned water storage components is determined based on the data from the corresponding water level sensors. For example, in cases where the water level detection information directly indicates the relationship between the water level in the water storage component and the reference water level, the water level sensor can be a water level probe. The principle is that when the water level probe contacts the water surface, it triggers a circuit change, thereby directly providing a judgment on whether the water level in the water storage component is higher or lower than the reference water level.

[0051] For example, in cases where the water level detection information of the aforementioned water storage component indirectly indicates the relationship between the water level in the component and a reference water level, the water level sensor can be a pressure sensor or an ultrasonic water level sensor. A pressure sensor can calculate the water depth based on the pressure exerted by the water body, and then convert this into the water level in the storage component. An ultrasonic water level sensor, on the other hand, emits ultrasonic waves and receives their echoes, calculates the water level distance based on the time difference, and then combines this with the known dimensions of the storage component to determine the water level. By comparing the water level detected by the aforementioned water level sensor with a predetermined reference water level, a judgment can be made as to whether the water level in the storage component is higher or lower than the reference water level.

[0052] It should be noted that the water level detection information corresponding to the above-mentioned water storage components is acquired in real time or according to a preset period (such as a preset period of 1 second) to reflect the water level in the water storage components in a timely manner.

[0053] S102, when the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component indicates that the water level in the water storage component is higher than the predetermined reference water level, record the waiting time of the water outlet device after the current water outlet operation, and obtain the target reference waiting time corresponding to the current water outlet operation.

[0054] Specifically, the aforementioned reference water level is a water level threshold predetermined based on the actual usage of the water outlet equipment and user needs. This water level threshold is used to determine whether there is sufficient water in the water storage component, so as to decide whether it is necessary to immediately control the water outlet equipment to replenish the water storage component.

[0055] If the water level detection information for the water storage component indicates that the water level in the component is not higher than a predetermined reference level, it means that the water level in the storage component is low and may not meet the water demand for a certain period of time. In this case, the water outlet equipment can be controlled to immediately replenish the water storage component to ensure that there is enough water to meet the user's water demand.

[0056] If the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component indicates that the water level in the storage component is higher than the predetermined reference water level, it means that the water level in the storage component is not yet at a low level, and the water in the storage component can still meet the water demand for a certain period of time. In this case, it is not necessary to immediately control the water outlet device to replenish the water storage component. Instead, the device starts recording the waiting time after the current water outlet operation and obtains the target reference waiting time corresponding to the current water outlet operation.

[0057] Regarding the recording of the waiting time after the current water dispensing operation, this waiting time starts from the moment corresponding to the current water dispensing operation (i.e., the moment the current water dispensing operation occurs) and is continuously recorded using a timer or similar functional unit. It is understood that the waiting time is actually dynamically increasing.

[0058] Regarding obtaining the target reference waiting time corresponding to the current water discharge operation, the target reference waiting time is a fixed duration used to determine when to control the water discharge equipment to replenish the water storage components.

[0059] In one possible implementation, the reference waiting time for each water discharge operation is consistent. That is, any water discharge operation, including the current water discharge operation, corresponds to the same reference waiting time, which is also the target reference waiting time.

[0060] In one possible implementation, the reference waiting time corresponding to different water discharge operations is not consistent. For example, multiple water discharge operations of the water discharge device each have their own reference waiting time, while the target reference waiting time specifically refers to the reference waiting time corresponding to the current water discharge operation. In this implementation, the reference waiting time corresponding to different water discharge operations may not be the same.

[0061] S103, after the waiting time reaches the target reference waiting time, control the water outlet equipment to replenish the water storage component.

[0062] Specifically, after recording the waiting time, it is necessary to compare the waiting time with the target reference waiting time in real time or according to a preset period (such as 1 second).

[0063] Before the waiting time reaches the target reference waiting time, in order to maintain the stability of the water temperature in the water storage component and avoid unnecessary water replenishment operations, it is not necessary to control the water outlet device to replenish the water storage component.

[0064] After the target reference waiting time is reached, indicating that sufficient time has elapsed, further control of the water outlet equipment is needed to replenish the water storage component. Specifically, the water outlet equipment is controlled to open the water replenishment valve or start the water replenishment pump, allowing water to enter from the inlet of the water outlet equipment and flow into the water storage component through the relevant pipelines. During the water replenishment process, the water level sensor continuously monitors the water level changes in the water storage component. Once the water level reaches the predetermined upper limit (which is higher than the reference water level), the controller will immediately close the water replenishment valve or stop the water replenishment pump to prevent over-replenishment.

[0065] For the reference water level in this embodiment, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is an example schematic diagram of a reference water level provided in an embodiment of this application. The reference water level 904 is positioned at a lower position in the water storage component 20. If the water level 903 in the water storage component is not higher than the reference water level 904, it indicates that the water in the water storage component 20 is insufficient to meet normal water usage needs, and water needs to be replenished. If the water level 903 in the water storage component is higher than the reference water level 904, it indicates that the water in the water storage component 20 can still meet water usage needs for a certain period of time, and water replenishment is not required immediately.

[0066] For information about the water level sensor in this embodiment, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a water level probe and a heated water level according to an embodiment of this application. The water outlet device 1 includes a first water level probe 233 and a second water level probe 234, both of which are water level sensors. The water level probe determines the water level by detecting its 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 234 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 234 can directly indicate whether the water level 903 in the water storage component is higher or lower than the reference water level 904.

[0067] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, an example is provided below.

[0068] Assume the water storage component of the water dispensing device has a predetermined reference water level H_ref, which is set according to the actual usage of the water dispensing device and user needs. The user initiates the water dispensing operation through some means (such as pressing a physical button, operating through an interactive interface, or remotely sending a command), triggering the device to start dispensing water. At this time, the water level sensor inside the device will detect the water level in the storage component in real time and generate corresponding water level detection information for the storage component.

[0069] Assuming the water level in the storage component is H_start when the water dispensing device starts dispensing water, and H_start > H_ref, this indicates that the water level in the storage component is higher than the reference level, and no immediate replenishment is needed. The water dispensing device records the waiting time T_wait after the current dispensing operation and obtains the target reference waiting time T_ref corresponding to the current dispensing operation. In this example, it is assumed that T_ref is a fixed value, consistent for all dispensing operations.

[0070] The waiting time T_wait is a dynamically increasing variable that is continuously recorded using a timer, starting from the moment corresponding to the current water dispensing operation. The water dispensing device will not replenish the water storage component until the waiting time T_wait reaches the target reference waiting time T_ref, in order to maintain the stability of the water temperature in the storage component and avoid unnecessary water replenishment.

[0071] Once the waiting time T_wait reaches (or exceeds) the target reference waiting time T_ref, i.e., T_wait≥T_ref, the water outlet device will control the opening of the water supply valve or start the water supply pump to begin replenishing water to the water storage component.

[0072] Assuming the water level during the replenishment process is H_current, when the water level sensor detects that H_current has reached the predetermined upper limit H_upper (H_upper > H_ref), the water equipment will immediately close the replenishment valve or stop the replenishment pump to prevent over-replenishment. At this point, the replenishment operation is complete, and the water level in the storage component returns to a state higher than the reference water level H_ref, awaiting the trigger of the next water discharge operation.

[0073] In this embodiment, in response to the current water dispensing operation of the water dispensing device, the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component is first obtained. If the water level detection information of the water storage component indicates that the water level in the water storage component is higher than a predetermined reference water level, then the waiting time of the water dispensing device after the current water dispensing operation is recorded, and the target reference waiting time corresponding to the current water dispensing operation is obtained. After the waiting time reaches the target reference waiting time, the water dispensing device is controlled to replenish water to the water storage component. In this way, the water temperature fluctuation problem that may be caused by replenishing water immediately after the current water dispensing operation is effectively avoided, and water with a stable temperature can be provided to the user within a certain period of time to improve the user experience.

[0074] Please see Figure 5 This application provides a flowchart illustrating the process of obtaining a target reference waiting time in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, the method in this embodiment may include the following steps S201-S202, and steps S201-S202 may be used as a method for... Figure 2 The detailed steps of "obtaining the target reference waiting time corresponding to the current water discharge operation" in step S102 of the embodiment shown are as follows.

[0075] S201, Determine the target baseline waiting time based on the current water discharge operation;

[0076] S202, adjust the target baseline waiting time to obtain the target reference waiting time.

[0077] Specifically, the current water dispensing operation involved in this embodiment may be one of a series of consecutive water dispensing operations of the water dispensing device. In this case, the water in the water storage component may have been largely consumed due to the series of consecutive water dispensing operations preceding the current water dispensing operation, or the water in the water storage component may be insufficient to meet the water demand due to a long period of lack of temperature control (such as heating).

[0078] Therefore, this embodiment defines a corresponding reference waiting time for each specific water dispensing operation, so that the reference waiting time for the water dispensing operation can better adapt to the actual water usage situation.

[0079] For the current water discharge operation, the target baseline waiting time is first determined based on the current water discharge operation. The baseline waiting time is a basic, unadjusted duration used to reflect the time that should be referenced when determining whether the water discharge equipment needs to replenish the water storage components under normal circumstances. The target baseline waiting time, on the other hand, specifically refers to the baseline waiting time corresponding to the current water discharge operation.

[0080] In one possible implementation, to simplify processing, the baseline waiting time for each different water discharge operation can be the same. That is, regardless of the order or specific circumstances of the water discharge operations, the same fixed baseline waiting time is used as the target baseline waiting time.

[0081] In another possible implementation, to more accurately adapt to actual water usage, the baseline waiting time for different water dispensing operations can be inconsistent. Determining the target baseline waiting time based on the current water dispensing operation can specifically involve dynamically determining a suitable baseline waiting time for each operation based on at least one factor, such as the frequency, volume, and duration of the water dispensing operation, as well as the water level in the storage components. In this way, the target baseline waiting time will change according to the specific circumstances of the current water dispensing operation.

[0082] After determining the target baseline waiting time, it needs to be adjusted to obtain the target reference waiting time. Specifically, the target baseline waiting time can be adjusted positively or negatively. Positive adjustment means increasing the length of the target baseline waiting time, so that the final target reference waiting time is longer than the target baseline waiting time; negative adjustment means decreasing the length of the target baseline waiting time, so that the final target reference waiting time is shorter than the target baseline waiting time.

[0083] In this embodiment, the target reference waiting time is first determined based on the current water output operation, and then the target reference waiting time is positively or negatively adjusted so that the final target reference waiting time is more in line with water demand, effectively improving the user experience.

[0084] Please see Figure 6 This application provides a flowchart illustrating a process for adjusting duration based on time difference, as shown in the following embodiment. Figure 6 As shown, the method in this embodiment may include the following steps S301-S303, and steps S301-S303 may be used as a method for... Figure 5 The detailed steps of step S202 in the illustrated embodiment.

[0085] S301, determine the time difference between the moment corresponding to the first water discharge operation of the water outlet equipment after the most recent water replenishment of the water storage component and the moment corresponding to the current water discharge operation.

[0086] S302, determine the first duration adjustment amount based on the time difference, and the time difference is proportional to the first duration adjustment amount;

[0087] S303, adjust the target baseline waiting time according to the first duration adjustment amount to obtain the target reference waiting time.

[0088] Specifically, the most recent water replenishment of the water storage component refers to the last time the water outlet equipment replenished the water storage component before the current water outlet operation.

[0089] The first water discharge operation of the water outlet device after the most recent water replenishment of the water storage component refers to the first water discharge operation performed by the user after the most recent water replenishment of the water storage component.

[0090] The time difference between the moment of the first water discharge operation after the most recent water replenishment of the water storage component and the moment of the current water discharge operation is determined. This time difference is specifically obtained by calculating or recording the time interval between the two moments. This time difference reflects the length of time elapsed from the first water discharge operation after the most recent water replenishment of the water storage component to the current water discharge operation.

[0091] The aforementioned time difference characterizes the water usage and potential temperature changes within the water storage unit. A larger time difference indicates a longer time elapsed since the last water dispensing operation (after the most recent water replenishment of the storage unit), and a higher likelihood of significant water consumption or temperature changes (from high to low temperature, or vice versa) in the storage unit. This is because over time, users may frequently operate the water dispensing device, leading to a reduction in the water volume within the storage unit; furthermore, if the storage unit lacks insulation or has poor insulation performance, the water temperature may also change with variations in ambient temperature.

[0092] Therefore, the first duration adjustment amount needs to be determined based on the time difference, where the time difference is directly proportional to the first duration adjustment amount. That is, the larger the time difference, the larger the first duration adjustment amount should be; the smaller the time difference, the smaller the first duration adjustment amount should be.

[0093] Finally, the target baseline waiting time is adjusted based on the first duration adjustment to obtain the target reference waiting time. Specifically, the first duration adjustment is subtracted from the target baseline waiting time to obtain a new target reference waiting time that better reflects the current water usage and the status of the water storage components. This adjusted target reference waiting time will be used to determine when to control the water outlet equipment to replenish the water storage components for the next time.

[0094] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, an example is provided below.

[0095] Assume that after the water storage component was last replenished, the user performs the first water dispensing operation on the water dispensing device, and records the time corresponding to the first water dispensing operation as T_first. Subsequently, the user performs the current water dispensing operation on the water dispensing device, and records the time corresponding to the current water dispensing operation as T_current.

[0096] First, calculate the time difference ΔT, i.e., ΔT = T_current - T_first. ΔT reflects the length of time elapsed from the first water discharge operation after the most recent water replenishment of the water storage component to the current water discharge operation.

[0097] Next, the first duration adjustment amount, Adjustment, is determined based on the time difference ΔT. Since the time difference is proportional to the first duration adjustment amount, a proportionality coefficient K (K>0) can be set such that Adjustment = K*ΔT. Assuming K = 0.5, and the calculated time difference ΔT is 2 minutes (i.e., the user performed the same water dispensing operation again 2 minutes after the first operation), then the first duration adjustment amount, Adjustment, is 1 minute.

[0098] Finally, the target baseline waiting time T_base is adjusted according to the first duration adjustment amount Adjustment to obtain the target reference waiting time T_ref. Assuming the target baseline waiting time T_base is 10 minutes, then the adjusted target reference waiting time T_ref is T_base - Adjustment = 10 - 1 = 9 minutes.

[0099] The adjusted target reference waiting time T_ref (9 minutes) will be used to determine when to control the water outlet device to replenish the water storage component again. Specifically, the water outlet device will replenish the water storage component only after the waiting time T_wait reaches 9 minutes.

[0100] In this embodiment, the target baseline waiting time is dynamically adjusted based on the time difference between the first water dispensing operation after the most recent water replenishment of the water storage component and the current water dispensing operation, thus obtaining the target reference waiting time. This allows the target reference waiting time to take into account both the actual water consumption in the water storage component and possible water temperature changes. Based on the target reference waiting time, the timing of water replenishment can be better determined, effectively improving the user experience.

[0101] Please see Figure 7 This application provides a flowchart illustrating the process of adjusting duration based on the total number of water effluent operations, as shown in the following embodiment. Figure 7 As shown, the method in this embodiment may include the following steps S401-S403, and steps S401-S403 may be used as a method for... Figure 5 The detailed steps of step S202 in the illustrated embodiment.

[0102] S401, Determine the total number of water discharge operations performed on the water discharge equipment since the most recent water replenishment of the water storage component;

[0103] S402, determine the second duration adjustment amount based on the total number of water discharge operations, and the total number of water discharge operations is proportional to the second duration adjustment amount;

[0104] S403, adjust the target baseline waiting time according to the second duration adjustment amount to obtain the target reference waiting time.

[0105] Specifically, the most recent water replenishment of the water storage component refers to the last time the water outlet equipment replenished the water storage component before the current water outlet operation.

[0106] The total number of water discharge operations performed on the water outlet device after the most recent water replenishment of the water storage component refers to the sum of all water discharge operations (including the current water discharge operation) performed by the user on the water outlet device after the most recent water replenishment of the water storage component.

[0107] The total number of water dispensing operations represents the frequency and intensity of water usage by users since the most recent replenishment of the water storage unit. A higher total number of water dispensing operations indicates a higher water demand from users during this period, or that the water dispensing equipment is used more frequently, which may lead to faster depletion of water in the storage unit.

[0108] Therefore, the second duration adjustment needs to be determined based on the total number of water discharge operations, where the total number of water discharge operations is directly proportional to the second duration adjustment. In other words, the larger the total number of water discharge operations, the larger the second duration adjustment should be; the smaller the total number of water discharge operations, the smaller the second duration adjustment should be.

[0109] Finally, the target baseline waiting time is adjusted based on the second duration adjustment to obtain the target reference waiting time. Specifically, the second duration adjustment is subtracted from the target baseline waiting time to obtain a new target reference waiting time that better reflects the current water usage and the status of the water storage components. This adjusted target reference waiting time will be used to determine when to control the water outlet equipment to replenish the water storage components for the next time.

[0110] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, an example is provided below.

[0111] Suppose that after the water storage component was last replenished, the user performed multiple water dispensing operations on the water dispensing device. The total number of these operations is recorded, let's say N times. Each water dispensing operation is assigned a fixed duration adjustment unit M (e.g., 0.5 minutes per operation). Then, the second duration adjustment is the total number of water dispensing operations N multiplied by this duration adjustment unit M, i.e., Adjustment = N * M minutes.

[0112] Assuming the target baseline waiting time T_base is 10 minutes, and the second duration adjustment calculated based on the total number of water discharge operations N is 3 minutes (i.e., N = 6 times, duration adjustment unit M = 0.5 minutes), then the adjusted target reference waiting time T_ref is T_base - Adjustment = 10 - 3 = 7 minutes.

[0113] The adjusted target reference waiting time T_ref (7 minutes) will be used to determine when to control the water outlet device to replenish the water storage component again. Specifically, the water outlet device will replenish the water storage component only after the waiting time T_wait reaches 7 minutes.

[0114] In this embodiment, the total number of water discharge operations since the most recent water replenishment of the water storage component is determined, and the target baseline waiting time is dynamically adjusted accordingly to obtain the target reference waiting time. This allows the target reference waiting time to take into account both the actual water consumption in the water storage component and possible water temperature changes. Based on the target reference waiting time, the timing of water replenishment can be better determined, effectively improving the user experience.

[0115] Please see Figure 8 This application provides a flowchart illustrating the process of determining a target baseline waiting time in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 As shown, the method in this embodiment may include the following steps S2501-S502, where steps S2501-S502 can be used as a... Figure 5 The detailed steps of step S201 in the illustrated embodiment.

[0116] S501, determine the target time period corresponding to the current water discharge operation from multiple time periods of the current date;

[0117] S502, determine the target baseline waiting time based on the target time period and the mapping relationship between the time period and the baseline waiting time.

[0118] Specifically, assuming a day is divided into multiple time periods, users' water needs differ within each period. For example, between 6:00 AM and 8:00 AM, users might use the water provided by the water dispenser for simple washing, consuming relatively little water; conversely, between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM, users might use the water dispenser for cooking or bathing, consuming more water. To accommodate users' water needs at different times, this embodiment proposes determining a target baseline waiting time based on the current time of water dispensing.

[0119] First, it's necessary to determine the target time period corresponding to the current water dispensing operation from multiple time periods within the current date. Here, "current date" refers to the specific date on which the water dispensing operation is performed, such as a specific year, month, and day; "multiple time periods" refers to dividing the current date into several consecutive or non-consecutive time periods, such as 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM, 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM, 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, etc. These time periods can be set based on the user's water usage habits, lifestyle, or the usage of the water dispensing equipment; the target time period corresponding to the current water dispensing operation refers to the specific time period within which the current water dispensing operation occurs. For example, if the current water dispensing operation occurs at 7:00 PM, then its target time period is 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

[0120] After determining the target time period, the target baseline waiting time is determined based on the target time period and the mapping relationship between the time period and the baseline waiting time. Specifically, the mapping relationship between the time period and the baseline waiting time refers to the different baseline waiting times corresponding to different time periods. In one possible implementation, the mapping relationship between the time period and the baseline waiting time can be recorded by a data table, database, or other data storage file. Taking a data table as an example, the time period and the baseline waiting time correspond to different fields. The data table may contain multiple rows of records, each corresponding to a time period and a baseline waiting time. For example, the baseline waiting time for 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM is 5 minutes, and the baseline waiting time for 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM is 10 minutes. Then, based on the target time period, the corresponding target baseline waiting time can be retrieved from this data table. For example, if the target time period is 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, then the retrieved target baseline waiting time is 10 minutes.

[0121] In one possible implementation, the mapping between time periods and baseline waiting times varies depending on the date. For example, on a weekday, users may use more water in the morning and evening due to work or school, and less at noon and in the afternoon. Therefore, on weekdays, the baseline waiting time for the morning and evening periods can be set shorter to better meet users' water needs, while the baseline waiting time for noon and the afternoon periods can be longer because users' water demand is relatively low during these times. Conversely, on a holiday, users' water demand is relatively even throughout the day, with higher demand only at noon and between 6 pm and 8 pm. Therefore, on holidays, the mapping between time periods and baseline waiting times can be adjusted so that the baseline waiting time is shorter during periods of higher anticipated water demand, and slightly longer during periods of lower anticipated water demand.

[0122] In this scenario, the mapping between time periods and baseline waiting times can still be recorded using data tables, databases, or other data storage files. For example, a first data table can be set to correspond to weekdays, and a second data table to correspond to holidays. Each data table is divided into time periods, recording the baseline waiting time for each period. Thus, in practical applications, one only needs to determine whether it is a weekday or holiday based on the current date, then select the corresponding data table for querying to obtain the target baseline waiting time for the current water discharge operation.

[0123] In this embodiment, the target baseline waiting time is dynamically determined based on the specific time period during which the water dispensing operation occurs, combined with the mapping relationship between the time period and the baseline waiting time. This allows for more precise adaptation to users' water needs at different times. During peak water usage periods, such as mornings and evenings, the baseline waiting time is shortened to ensure users can obtain the required water volume in a timely manner, improving the user experience. Conversely, during off-peak water usage periods, the baseline waiting time is appropriately extended to avoid unnecessary frequent water replenishment and improve energy efficiency. Furthermore, this embodiment also considers the impact of date type (such as weekdays and holidays) on water demand, further enhancing the intelligence of the water dispensing equipment and effectively improving the user experience.

[0124] Please see Figure 9 This application provides a schematic diagram of a process for heating after water replenishment, as illustrated in the embodiment of this application. Figure 9 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps S601-S606.

[0125] S601, in response to the current water discharge operation of the water discharge device, obtains the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component.

[0126] For a detailed implementation of step S601, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 The explanation of step S101 in the illustrated embodiment will not be repeated here. After step S601 is completed, steps S602-S603 or steps S604-S606 can be selectively executed.

[0127] S602, when the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component indicates that the water level corresponding to the water storage component is not higher than the predetermined reference water level, the water outlet device is controlled to replenish water to the water storage component;

[0128] S603, when the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component indicates that the water level corresponding to 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, and the heating water level is higher than the reference water level.

[0129] Specifically, the aforementioned heating water level is a pre-determined threshold based on the actual usage of the water outlet equipment and user needs. This threshold is used to determine whether the water in the storage component has reached a suitable amount for heating. Since the heating process typically requires a certain amount of water to ensure heating efficiency and safety, the heating water level is configured to be higher than the reference water level to ensure sufficient water in the storage component before heating. For the specific location of the heating water level, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 The introduction states that the heating water level 905 is higher than the reference water level 904, and 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 heating water level 905.

[0130] When the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component indicates that the water level of the water storage component is not higher than the predetermined reference water level, the water outlet device is controlled to replenish water to the water storage component.

[0131] During the water replenishment process, 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; or, during the water replenishment process, 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.

[0132] If the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component indicates that the water level of the water storage component is not higher than the predetermined heating water level, it proves that the water replenishment process is still continuing and the water in the water storage component has not yet reached a suitable amount for heating. At this time, it is not necessary to control the water outlet device to heat the water in the water storage component.

[0133] When the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component indicates that the water level of the water storage component is higher than the predetermined heating water level, it proves that the water replenishment process has been completed and the water in the water storage component has reached a suitable amount for heating. At this time, it is necessary to control the water outlet equipment to heat the water in the water storage component.

[0134] The water outlet device heats the water in the storage component by activating the internal heating element (such as an electric heating element or a gas heater). Heat is transferred to the water in the storage component through conduction or convection, gradually raising its temperature to the preset target temperature. During the heating process, the water temperature is continuously monitored, and the heating element is automatically shut off once the target temperature is reached to avoid overheating or energy waste.

[0135] S604, when the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component indicates that the water level in the water storage component is higher than the predetermined reference water level, record the waiting time of the water outlet device after the current water outlet operation, and obtain the target reference waiting time corresponding to the current water outlet operation.

[0136] S605, after the waiting time reaches the target reference waiting time, control the water outlet equipment to replenish the water storage component;

[0137] S606, when the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component indicates that the water level corresponding to 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.

[0138] For a detailed implementation of steps S604-S605, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 The explanation of steps S102-S103 in the illustrated embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0139] After step S605, during the water replenishment process, 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; or, during the water replenishment process, the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component can indicate the water level in the water storage component, and based on 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.

[0140] If the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component indicates that the water level of the water storage component is not higher than the predetermined heating water level, it proves that the water replenishment process is still continuing and the water in the water storage component has not yet reached a suitable amount for heating. At this time, it is not necessary to control the water outlet device to heat the water in the water storage component.

[0141] When the water level detection information corresponding to the water storage component indicates that the water level of the water storage component is higher than the predetermined heating water level, it proves that the water replenishment process has been completed and the water in the water storage component has reached a suitable amount for heating. At this time, it is necessary to control the water outlet equipment to heat the water in the water storage component.

[0142] The water outlet device heats the water in the storage component by activating the internal heating element (such as an electric heating element or a gas heater). Heat is transferred to the water in the storage component through conduction or convection, gradually raising its temperature to the preset target temperature. During the heating process, the water temperature is continuously monitored, and the heating element is automatically shut off once the target temperature is reached to avoid overheating or energy waste.

[0143] In this embodiment, water can be replenished promptly when the water level in the storage component is insufficient, and the heating process can be automatically initiated when the water level reaches the appropriate heating level, ensuring that users always have water at a suitable temperature. Particularly in the heating phase after water replenishment, precise control of the heating timing avoids water temperature fluctuations, improving the comfort and safety of water use. Furthermore, this embodiment considers water and heating needs at different times, dynamically adjusting waiting times and heating strategies to achieve efficient energy utilization and long-term stable operation of the equipment, effectively improving the user experience.
