It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

"And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated before and after are in an "or" relationship.
[0049] First, an application scenario applicable to the embodiment of the present application is introduced: a kitchen-type water purifier includes a water purification module, a control module and a water outlet module connected in sequence. The water purification module is used to prepare purified water, the control module is used to control the water temperature and water volume of the purified water, and the water outlet module is used to provide the purified water processed by the control module to the user.
[0050] In some possible embodiments, the water purification module may include, but is not limited to, a water purifier. A replaceable filter element and a water inlet valve are provided inside the water purifier, and the water inlet valve is connected to the control module through a water inlet pipe. A second interactive area is provided outside the water purifier, and the second interactive area may be, but is not limited to, a button display area, a touch screen display area, etc. The second interactive area is used to receive the user's refrigeration control operation, and display the corresponding refrigeration status information based on the refrigeration control operation. In addition, the second interactive area can also be used to receive the user's filter element life reset operation, and display the filter element's service life information based on the filter element life reset operation.
[0051] In some possible embodiments, the control module may include, but is not limited to, a heat pipe, a refrigeration circuit, a cold tank, a main control board, and a frequency conversion board. Among them, the heat pipe is used to heat the clean water prepared by the water purification module. The refrigeration circuit includes a compressor, a condenser, a throttling element, and an evaporator connected in sequence. After the refrigeration circuit is started, the compressor compresses the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous state, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is cooled by the condenser to a medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant, and then throttled and reduced by the throttling element to a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixture, and finally absorbs heat in the evaporator to convert it into a low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, and then returns to the compressor to start the next round of refrigeration cycle. In this process, the evaporator exchanges heat with the cold tank to cool the clean water pre-stored in the cold tank. The main control board receives the user's control instructions and communicates with components such as the water purification module, the water outlet module, the water inlet valve, the water outlet valve, and the frequency conversion board, so as to monitor the status of each component and control the water purifier to work on demand. The frequency conversion board communicates with the main control board and the compressor, thereby dynamically adjusting the operating frequency of the compressor according to the user's refrigeration control instructions.
[0052] In some possible embodiments, the water outlet module may include, but is not limited to, a water intake device and an electrically controlled faucet. The water intake device is used to transfer the purified water in the control module to the electrically controlled faucet. The water intake device may include, but is not limited to, a water pump, etc. The electrically controlled faucet is provided with a first interactive area, and the first interactive area may be, but is not limited to, a touch screen display area, a button display area, etc. The first interactive area is used to receive a user's water outlet control operation, and display corresponding water outlet information based on the water outlet control operation. In addition, the first interactive area may also be used to receive a user's water stop control operation, and display corresponding water outlet information based on the water outlet control operation.
[0053] It is worth noting that the water purifier structure described above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this application, rather than to limit it. For example, in actual applications, the water purifier may include not only a water purification module, a control module, and a water outlet module, but also a sensor module, a wireless communication module, etc., which is not limited in this application.
[0054] In one embodiment, Figure 1As shown, a water purifier control method is provided, and the method is applied to the above-mentioned under-sink water purifier as an example, comprising the following steps:
[0055] S101: In response to a water control operation input by a user based on a first interactive area, a water control instruction carried by the water control operation is sent to a control module through an electronically controlled faucet.
[0056] Among them, the first interactive area can be but is not limited to the touch screen display area on the electric faucet, and the water control operation can be but is not limited to customized interactive actions such as clicking, sliding, and long pressing.
[0057] Optionally, the water purifier responds to the water control operation input by the user to the first interactive area on the electronically controlled faucet, sends the water control instruction carried by the water control operation to the control module through the electronically controlled faucet, and displays the corresponding water output information in the first interactive area on the electronically controlled faucet. It can be understood that the water control instruction is used to determine the water temperature of the water purifier, and the water output information includes the water temperature.
[0058] Specifically, the first interactive area on the electric faucet is provided with different water outlet type controls, each of which represents a water outlet type. Each water outlet type has a preset default water temperature. The user can directly use the default water temperature corresponding to each water outlet type as the outlet water temperature; or adjust the default water temperature corresponding to each water outlet type to obtain the desired outlet water temperature. Exemplarily, when the user clicks on warm water on the first interactive area, the first interactive area displays the default water temperature of 50°C corresponding to warm water. The user can directly use the default water temperature as the final outlet water temperature, or click on the water temperature adjustment control on the first interactive area to adjust the default water temperature, for example, to 40°C.
[0059] If the quantitative water outlet function of the water purifier is not turned on, the user can complete the water outlet control operation for the water purifier by directly clicking the water outlet control in the first interactive area after determining the outlet water temperature; accordingly, the first interactive area displays water outlet information including the outlet water temperature and the outlet water quality. If the quantitative water outlet function of the water purifier is turned on, the user can complete the water outlet control operation for the water purifier by directly clicking the water volume setting control in the first interactive area after determining the outlet water temperature, and then clicking the water outlet control; accordingly, the first interactive area displays water outlet information including the outlet water temperature, outlet water volume and outlet water quality. After the user completes the water outlet control operation for the water purifier, the water purifier sends the water outlet control instruction carried by the water outlet control operation to the control module through the electric control faucet, so that the control module controls the water temperature of the purified water to the outlet water temperature according to the water outlet control instruction.
[0060] It is worth noting that this embodiment only describes a preferred implementation of the present application. The user can also directly click on the water outlet control in the first interactive area to complete the water outlet control operation. At this time, the water outlet temperature of the water purifier is the water temperature of the purified water. The specific method for the user to input the water outlet control operation based on the first interactive area is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.
[0061] S102: When the temperature of the purified water is not equal to the outlet water temperature, the temperature of the purified water is adjusted to the outlet water temperature through the control module.
[0062] It can be understood that, when the temperature of the purified water prepared by the water purification module is not equal to the outlet water temperature set by the user, the water purifier adjusts the temperature of the purified water to the outlet water temperature through the control module, and then transfers the purified water at the outlet water temperature to the electric-controlled faucet through the water collection device to provide it to the user. When the temperature of the purified water prepared by the water purification module is equal to the outlet water temperature set by the user, the control module no longer adjusts the temperature of the purified water, and the water purifier directly transfers the purified water at the outlet water temperature to the electric-controlled faucet through the water collection device to provide it to the user.
[0063] Optionally, when the temperature of the purified water is lower than the outlet water temperature, the heating pipe in the control module heats the purified water to adjust the temperature of the purified water to the outlet water temperature; when the temperature of the purified water is higher than the outlet water temperature, the refrigeration circuit in the control module cools the purified water pre-stored in the cold tank to adjust the temperature of the purified water to the outlet water temperature.
[0064] S103: The purified water at the outlet water temperature is transferred to the electronically controlled faucet through the water intake device.
[0065] Optionally, the water purifier transfers the purified water reaching the outlet water temperature to the electronically controlled faucet through a water pump or other water intake device to provide it to the user. It is understandable that if the quantitative water outlet function of the water purifier is not turned on, the user needs to input the water stop control operation based on the first interactive area to stop the water purifier from discharging water; if the quantitative water outlet function of the water purifier is turned on, the user does not need to input the water stop control operation, and the water purifier can automatically stop discharging water after reaching the water outlet volume set by the user.
[0066] In this embodiment, the water purifier responds to the water control operation input by the user based on the first interactive area, and sends the water control instruction carried by the water control operation to the control module through the electric faucet. When the temperature of the purified water is not equal to the outlet water temperature, the temperature of the purified water is adjusted to the outlet water temperature through the control module, and the purified water at the outlet water temperature is transferred to the electric faucet through the water collection device. The whole process is based on the interaction between the water purification module, the control module and the water outlet module in the water purifier, so that the user can obtain purified water of the required temperature only through simple interactive operations, which simplifies the operation process of taking water and makes the user's water collection process more convenient and efficient.
[0067] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, another water purifier control method is provided, taking the method applied to the above-mentioned under-sink water purifier as an example, comprising the following steps:
[0068] S201: In response to a water control operation input by a user based on a first interactive area, a water control instruction carried by the water control operation is sent to a control module through an electrically controlled faucet.
[0069] Optionally, the water purifier responds to the water control operation input by the user to the first interactive area on the electronically controlled faucet, sends the water control instruction carried by the water control operation to the control module through the electronically controlled faucet, and displays the corresponding water output information in the first interactive area on the electronically controlled faucet. It can be understood that the water control instruction is used to determine the water temperature of the water purifier, and the water output information includes the water temperature.
[0070] Specifically, the first interactive area on the electric faucet is provided with different water outlet type controls, each of which represents a water outlet type. Each water outlet type has a preset default water temperature. The user can directly use the default water temperature corresponding to each water outlet type as the outlet water temperature; or adjust the default water temperature corresponding to each water outlet type to obtain the desired outlet water temperature. Exemplarily, when the user clicks on warm water on the first interactive area, the first interactive area displays the default water temperature of 50°C corresponding to warm water. The user can directly use the default water temperature as the final outlet water temperature, or click on the water temperature adjustment control on the first interactive area to adjust the default water temperature, for example, to 40°C.
[0071] This embodiment is explained by taking the example that the quantitative water outlet function of the water purifier is not turned on. After determining the outlet water temperature, the user directly clicks the water outlet control in the first interactive area to complete the water outlet control operation for the water purifier. After the user completes the water outlet control operation, the first interactive area displays the water outlet information including the outlet water temperature and the outlet water quality. In response to the water outlet control operation input by the user based on the first interactive area, the water purifier sends the water outlet control instruction carried by the water outlet control operation to the control module through the electric control faucet.
[0072] S202: When the temperature of the purified water is not equal to the outlet water temperature, the temperature of the purified water is adjusted to the outlet water temperature through the control module.
[0073] It can be understood that, when the temperature of the purified water prepared by the water purification module is not equal to the outlet water temperature set by the user, the water purifier adjusts the temperature of the purified water to the outlet water temperature through the control module, and then transfers the purified water at the outlet water temperature to the electric-controlled faucet through the water collection device to provide it to the user. When the temperature of the purified water prepared by the water purification module is equal to the outlet water temperature set by the user, the control module no longer adjusts the temperature of the purified water, and the water purifier directly transfers the purified water at the outlet water temperature to the electric-controlled faucet through the water collection device to provide it to the user.
[0074] Optionally, when the temperature of the purified water is lower than the outlet water temperature, the heating pipe in the control module heats the purified water to adjust the temperature of the purified water to the outlet water temperature; when the temperature of the purified water is higher than the outlet water temperature, the refrigeration circuit in the control module cools the purified water pre-stored in the cold tank to adjust the temperature of the purified water to the outlet water temperature.
[0075] S203: The purified water at the outlet water temperature is transferred to the electronically controlled faucet through the water intake device.
[0076] Optionally, the water purifier transfers the purified water reaching the outlet water temperature to the electronically controlled faucet through a water pump or other water intake device to provide it to the user. It is understandable that if the quantitative water outlet function of the water purifier is not turned on, the user needs to input a water stop control operation based on the first interactive area to stop the water purifier from discharging water.
[0077] S204: In response to the water stop control operation input by the user based on the first interactive area, the water stop control instruction carried by the water stop control operation is sent to the control module through the electronically controlled faucet.
[0078] Among them, the first interactive area can be but is not limited to the touch screen display area on the electric faucet, and the water stop control operation can be but is not limited to customized interactive actions such as clicking, sliding, and long pressing.
[0079] It can be understood that since the quantitative water output function of the water purifier in this embodiment is not turned on, the user needs to input the water stop control operation based on the first interactive area to stop the water purifier from outputting water after the water output of the water purifier reaches the required water output.
[0080] Exemplarily, a user can stop the water dispenser from discharging water by clicking the water stop control in the first interactive area on the electric faucet. The water purifier responds to the user's click operation on the water stop control and sends the water stop control instruction carried by the water stop control operation to the control module through the electric faucet.
[0081] S205: The water inlet valve and the water outlet valve are closed through the control module to stop the water purifier from discharging water.
[0082] Among them, the water inlet valve is arranged in the water purification module, and the water inlet valve is connected to the control module through the water inlet pipe; the water outlet valve is arranged between the control module and the water outlet module.
[0083] Optionally, the electronically controlled faucet sends a valve closing signal to the water inlet valve and the water outlet valve through the control module, and the water inlet valve and the water outlet valve automatically close after receiving the valve closing signal, thereby stopping the water purifier from discharging water.
[0084] In this embodiment, the water purifier responds to the water stop control operation input by the user based on the first interactive area on the electric-controlled faucet, sends a water stop control instruction to the control module through the electric-controlled faucet, and closes the water inlet valve and the water outlet valve through the control module, so that the user can flexibly control the water supply and stop of the water purifier based on simple interactive operations, which simplifies the water extraction operation process and makes the user's water extraction process more convenient and efficient.
[0085] In the above-mentioned water purifier control method, the water purifier responds to the water outlet control operation input by the user based on the first interactive area, and sends the water outlet control instruction carried by the water outlet control operation to the control module through the electric-controlled faucet; when the water temperature of the purified water is not equal to the outlet water temperature, the water temperature of the purified water is adjusted to the outlet water temperature through the control module, and the purified water of the outlet water temperature is transferred to the electric-controlled faucet through the water intake device; after the water output of the water purifier reaches the water output volume set by the user, in response to the water stop control operation input by the user based on the first interactive area, the water stop control instruction carried by the water stop control operation is sent to the control module through the electric-controlled faucet, and the water inlet valve and the water outlet valve are closed through the control module to stop the water supply of the water purifier, so that the user can flexibly control the water supply and stop of the water purifier based on simple interactive operations. The entire process is based on the interaction between the water purification module, control module and water outlet module in the water purifier, so that users can obtain purified water of the required temperature through simple interactive operations, and can flexibly control the water supply and stop of the water purifier, which simplifies the water extraction operation process and makes the user's water extraction process more convenient and efficient.
[0086] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, another water purifier control method is provided, taking the method applied to the above-mentioned under-sink water purifier as an example, comprising the following steps:
[0087] S301: In response to a refrigeration start operation input by the user based on the second interactive area, a refrigeration start instruction carried by the refrigeration start operation is sent to the control module through the water purification module.
[0088] It can be understood that the water purification module may include but is not limited to a water purifier, and a second interactive area is provided outside the water purifier, and the second interactive area may be but is not limited to a button display area, etc. The second interactive area is used to receive the user's refrigeration control operation and display corresponding refrigeration status information based on the refrigeration control operation. The refrigeration status information includes refrigeration started status information and refrigeration not started status information.
[0089] Optionally, in order to reduce unnecessary power consumption of the water purifier, the user can turn on the refrigeration circuit in the control module only before drinking cold water, and keep the refrigeration circuit closed at other times. Since the refrigeration circuit is inside the water purifier, the user cannot directly observe whether the refrigeration circuit is turned on. In this embodiment, a button display area including a refrigeration status indicator and a refrigeration status switch button is set outside the water purification module (such as a water purifier) of the water purifier. If the refrigeration circuit of the control module in the water purifier is started, the refrigeration status indicator in the second interactive area lights up; if the refrigeration circuit of the control module in the water purifier is not started, the refrigeration status indicator in the second interactive area goes out. The user can switch the on and off state of the refrigeration circuit by clicking the refrigeration status switch button below the refrigeration status indicator.
[0090] Exemplarily, when the refrigeration status indicator light in the second interactive area is off, the water purifier sends a refrigeration start instruction to the control module through the water purification module in response to the user's click operation on the refrigeration status switch button in the second interactive area.
[0091] S302: Start the refrigeration circuit through the control module.
[0092] Optionally, after receiving the refrigeration start instruction sent by the water purification module, the control module of the water purifier controls the compressor in the refrigeration circuit to start through the frequency conversion board, thereby starting the refrigeration circuit.
[0093] In this embodiment, the water purifier responds to the refrigeration start operation input by the user based on the second interactive area, sends the refrigeration start instruction carried by the refrigeration start operation to the control module through the water purification module, and starts the refrigeration circuit through the control module, thereby ensuring that the user can obtain cold water at the required temperature while reducing unnecessary power consumption of the water purifier.
[0094] S303: In response to the water control operation input by the user based on the first interactive area, the water control instruction carried by the water control operation is sent to the control module through the electronically controlled faucet.
[0095] Optionally, the water purifier responds to the water control operation input by the user to the first interactive area on the electronically controlled faucet, sends the water control instruction carried by the water control operation to the control module through the electronically controlled faucet, and displays the corresponding water output information in the first interactive area on the electronically controlled faucet. It can be understood that the water control instruction is used to determine the water temperature and water volume of the water purifier, and the water output information includes the water temperature, water volume and water quality of the water.
[0096] Specifically, the first interactive area on the electric faucet is provided with different water outlet type controls, each of which represents a water outlet type. Each water outlet type has a preset default water temperature. The user can directly use the default water temperature corresponding to each water outlet type as the outlet water temperature; or adjust the default water temperature corresponding to each water outlet type to obtain the desired outlet water temperature. Exemplarily, when the user clicks on warm water on the first interactive area, the first interactive area displays the default water temperature of 50°C corresponding to warm water. The user can directly use the default water temperature as the final outlet water temperature, or click on the water temperature adjustment control on the first interactive area to adjust the default water temperature, for example, to 40°C.
[0097] If the quantitative water outlet function of the water purifier has been turned on, the user can click the water volume setting control in the first interactive area to set the water outlet volume of the water purifier after determining the outlet water temperature, and finally click the water outlet control to complete the water outlet control operation for the water purifier; accordingly, the first interactive area displays water outlet information including outlet water temperature, outlet water volume and outlet water quality. After the user completes the water outlet control operation for the water purifier, the water purifier sends the water outlet control instruction carried by the water outlet control operation to the control module through the electric control faucet, so that the control module controls the water temperature of the purified water to the outlet water temperature according to the water outlet control instruction, and controls the water volume of the purified water to the outlet water volume set by the user.
[0098] S304: Determine whether the temperature of the purified water is greater than the outlet water temperature. If so, execute S305; if not, execute S308.
[0099] Optionally, the water purifier determines through the control module whether the temperature of the purified water prepared by the water purification module is greater than the outlet water temperature set by the user. When the temperature of the purified water is greater than the outlet water temperature, the purified water pre-stored in the cold tank is cooled by the refrigeration circuit to adjust the temperature of the purified water to the outlet water temperature; when the temperature of the purified water is equal to the outlet water temperature, the purified water is directly transported through the instant heating pipe in the control module; when the temperature of the purified water is less than the outlet water temperature, the purified water is heated by the instant heating pipe to adjust the temperature of the purified water to the outlet water temperature.
[0100] S305: Cooling the purified water pre-stored in the cold tank through a refrigeration circuit to adjust the temperature of the purified water to the outlet water temperature.
[0101] The refrigeration circuit includes a compressor, a condenser, a throttling element and an evaporator connected in sequence. After the refrigeration circuit is started, the evaporator exchanges heat with the cold tank to cool the purified water pre-stored in the cold tank.
[0102] It is understandable that when the temperature of the purified water is greater than the outlet water temperature, the water extraction device directly draws water from the cold tank. Therefore, when the temperature of the purified water is greater than the outlet water temperature, the water purifier first controls the temperature of the purified water and then controls the amount of purified water. It is understandable that since the user has already started the refrigeration circuit in advance, when the temperature of the purified water is greater than the outlet water temperature set by the user, the water purifier cools the purified water pre-stored in the cold tank through the refrigeration circuit, thereby adjusting the temperature of the purified water to the outlet water temperature. Specifically, after the refrigeration circuit is started, the compressor compresses the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is cooled into a medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant through the condenser, and then throttled and reduced by the throttling element into a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixture, and finally absorbs heat in the evaporator to be converted into a low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, and then returns to the compressor to start the next round of refrigeration cycle. In this process, the evaporator exchanges heat with the cold tank, thereby cooling the purified water pre-stored in the cold tank.
[0103] Optionally, a temperature sensor is pre-installed in the cold tank, which feeds back the temperature of the purified water in the cold tank to the main control board in the control module in real time. When the temperature of the purified water in the cold tank drops to the outlet water temperature set by the user, the main control board immediately controls the compressor in the refrigeration circuit to stop working, thereby accurately controlling the temperature of the purified water at the outlet water temperature set by the user.
[0104] S306: The purified water at the outlet water temperature is transferred to the electronically controlled faucet through the water intake device.
[0105] Optionally, when the temperature of purified water is greater than the outlet water temperature set by the user, a water intake device (such as a water pump) directly draws water from the cold tank to transfer purified water at the outlet water temperature to an electrically controlled faucet for provision to the user.
[0106] S307: When the water output of the water outlet valve reaches the water output volume, the water outlet valve is controlled to be closed through the control module.
[0107] Optionally, a water outlet valve is provided between the cold tank and the water outlet module in the control module, and a flow meter for measuring the water outlet amount of the water outlet valve is provided on the side of the water outlet valve, and the flow meter feeds back the water outlet amount of the water outlet valve to the main control board in the control module in real time. When the water outlet amount of the water outlet valve reaches the water outlet amount, the water purifier controls the water outlet valve to close through the main control board in the control module, thereby realizing precise control of the water outlet amount.
[0108] It is worth noting that this embodiment only describes a preferred implementation of the present application. In actual applications, if there is no flow meter on the water outlet valve side, the water output of the water outlet valve can actually be calculated by the water outlet time and the flow rate of the purified water.
[0109] S308: When the water inlet volume of the water inlet valve reaches the water outlet volume, the water inlet valve is controlled to be closed through the control module.
[0110] It is understandable that when the temperature of the purified water is less than or equal to the outlet water temperature, the water intake device needs to draw water from the instant heating pipe in the control module. Therefore, when the temperature of the purified water is less than or equal to the outlet water temperature, the water purifier first controls the amount of purified water and then controls the temperature of purified water. Optionally, the water inlet valve in the water purification module is connected to the control module through a water inlet pipe, and a flow meter for measuring the water inlet amount of the water inlet valve is provided on the side of the water inlet valve. The flow meter feeds back the water inlet amount of the water inlet valve to the main control board in the control module in real time. When the water inlet amount of the water inlet valve reaches the outlet water amount, the water purifier controls the water inlet valve to close through the main control board in the control module.
[0111] It is worth noting that this embodiment only describes a preferred implementation of the present application. In actual applications, if there is no flow meter on the water inlet valve side, the water inlet volume of the water inlet valve can actually be calculated by the water outlet time and the flow rate of the purified water.
[0112] In this embodiment, when the temperature of the purified water is greater than the outlet water temperature, the water taking device directly draws water from the cold tank in the control module. At this time, the water flow through the outlet valve is measured or estimated to ensure that the water output of the purifier is the water output set by the user; when the temperature of the purified water is less than or equal to the outlet water temperature, the water taking device draws water from the outlet side of the heat pipe in the control module. At this time, the water flow through the inlet valve is measured or estimated to ensure that the water output of the purifier is the water output set by the user. The whole process can efficiently and accurately control the amount of purified water, so that the user can obtain the required amount of purified water through simple interactive operations, simplifying the water taking operation process, and making the user's water taking process more convenient and efficient.
[0113] S309: Determine whether the temperature of the purified water is equal to the outlet water temperature. If so, execute S310; if not, execute S312.
[0114] Optionally, when the temperature of the purified water is not greater than the outlet water temperature, the water purifier further determines through the control module whether the temperature of the purified water prepared by the water purification module is equal to the outlet water temperature set by the user. When the temperature of the purified water is equal to the outlet water temperature, the purified water is directly transported through the instant heating pipe in the control module; when the temperature of the purified water is lower than the outlet water temperature, the purified water is heated through the instant heating pipe in the control module to adjust the temperature of the purified water to the outlet water temperature.
[0115] S310: transporting purified water through the instant heating pipe.
[0116] Optionally, when the temperature of the purified water prepared by the water purification module is equal to the water outlet temperature set by the user, the water purifier directly transports the purified water to the water pumping point of the water intake device through the instant heating pipe in the control module without the need for additional heating of the purified water through the instant heating pipe.
[0117] S311: The purified water at the outlet water temperature is transferred to the electronically controlled faucet through the water intake device.
[0118] Optionally, when the temperature of the purified water is equal to the outlet water temperature set by the user, the water intake device draws water from the outlet side of the instant heating pipe to transfer the purified water at the outlet water temperature to the electric-controlled faucet for providing to the user.
[0119] S312: The purified water is heated by the instantaneous heating pipe to adjust the temperature of the purified water to the outlet water temperature.
[0120] Among them, the heat pipe adopts two-stage power to heat the clean water prepared by the water purification module.
[0121] Optionally, when the temperature of the purified water is lower than the outlet water temperature set by the user and the outlet water temperature does not reach a preset temperature value (such as 100°C), the water purifier heats the purified water at a first preset power (such as 1200W) through the instant heating pipe to adjust the temperature of the purified water to the outlet water temperature. When the temperature of the purified water is lower than the outlet water temperature set by the user and the outlet water temperature reaches a preset temperature value (such as 100°C), the water purifier heats the purified water at a second preset power (such as 2000W) through the instant heating pipe to adjust the temperature of the purified water to the outlet water temperature.
[0122] It can be understood that a temperature sensor is installed on the water outlet side of the heat pipe, which feeds back the temperature of the purified water in the heat pipe to the main control board in the control module in real time. When the temperature of the purified water in the heat pipe rises to the outlet water temperature set by the user, the main control board immediately controls the heat pipe to stop heating, thereby accurately controlling the temperature of the purified water at the outlet water temperature set by the user.
[0123] In this embodiment, when the temperature of the purified water is lower than the outlet water temperature, the water purifier adjusts the temperature of the purified water to the outlet water temperature through the instant heating pipe in the control module, and when the purified water temperature measured by the temperature sensor rises to the outlet water temperature, the instant heating pipe is controlled to stop heating; when the temperature of the purified water is higher than the outlet water temperature, the water purifier adjusts the temperature of the purified water pre-stored in the cold tank to the outlet water temperature through the refrigeration circuit in the control module, and when the purified water temperature measured by the temperature sensor drops to the outlet water temperature, the compressor in the refrigeration circuit is controlled to stop working. The whole process can efficiently and accurately control the purified water temperature, so that the user can obtain purified water of the required temperature through simple interactive operations, simplifying the operation process of taking water, and making the user's water taking process more convenient and efficient.
[0124] S313: The purified water at the outlet water temperature is transferred to the electronically controlled faucet through the water intake device.
[0125] Optionally, when the temperature of purified water is lower than the outlet water temperature set by the user, the water intake device draws water from the outlet side of the instant heating pipe to transfer purified water at the outlet water temperature to the electrically controlled faucet for providing to the user.
[0126] In the above-mentioned water purifier control method, the water purifier first determines whether the temperature of the purified water is greater than the outlet water temperature. If the temperature of the purified water is greater than the outlet water temperature, it means that the purified water needs to be cooled. At this time, the purified water pre-stored in the cold tank is cooled by the refrigeration circuit to adjust the temperature of the purified water to the outlet water temperature, and then the purified water at the outlet water temperature is transferred to the electrically controlled faucet through the water intake device, and when the water output of the water outlet valve reaches the outlet water volume, the water outlet valve is controlled to be closed through the control module. If the temperature of the purified water is equal to the outlet water temperature, it means that there is no need to make any adjustment to the temperature of the purified water. When the water inlet valve reaches the outlet water volume, the water inlet valve is controlled to be closed, and then the purified water is directly transported to the pumping place of the water intake device through the instant heating pipe, and finally the purified water at the outlet water temperature is transferred to the electrically controlled faucet through the water intake device. If the temperature of the purified water is lower than the outlet water temperature, it means that the purified water needs to be heated. When the water inlet volume of the water inlet valve reaches the outlet water volume, the water inlet valve is controlled to close, and then the purified water is heated by the instant heating pipe to adjust the temperature of the purified water to the outlet water temperature. Finally, the purified water at the outlet water temperature is transferred to the electric faucet through the water taking device. The whole process is based on the interaction between the water purification module, the control module and the water outlet module in the water purifier, so that the user can obtain the purified water of the required temperature and water volume through simple interactive operations, which simplifies the operation process of water taking and makes the user's water taking process more convenient and efficient.
[0127] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, another water purifier control method is provided, taking the method applied to the above-mentioned under-sink water purifier as an example, comprising the following steps:
[0128] S401: When it is determined that the service life of the filter element has expired, a filter element replacement reminder message is sent to a user's terminal through a control module.
[0129] The filter element replacement reminder information includes but is not limited to the usage time of the filter element, the type of the filter element, etc.
[0130] It is understandable that when the filter element in the water purification module has been used for a longer time than a preset time (such as 6 months), the water purifier determines that the service life of the filter element has expired. Optionally, the water purifier can be connected to a user's mobile phone or other terminal wirelessly (such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.) or wired, and when it is determined that the service life of the filter element has expired, the control module sends a filter element replacement reminder including the filter element's usage time and the type of the filter element to the user's terminal to prompt the user to replace the filter element.
[0131] S402: In response to a filter cartridge life reset operation input by the user based on the second interactive area, a filter cartridge life reset instruction carried by the filter cartridge life reset operation is sent to the control module through the water purification module.
[0132] It can be understood that the water purification module may include but is not limited to a water purifier, and a second interactive area is provided outside the water purifier, and the second interactive area may be but is not limited to a button display area, etc. The second interactive area is used to receive a user's filter life reset operation and display the filter life information based on the filter life reset operation.
[0133] Optionally, after the user sees the filter cartridge replacement prompt information through a mobile phone or other terminal and replaces the filter cartridge based on the filter cartridge replacement prompt information, the user can input the filter cartridge life reset operation based on the second interactive area of the water purification module, so that the water purification module sends the filter cartridge life reset instruction carried by the filter cartridge life reset operation to the control module, so that the control module resets the service life of the filter cartridge. Exemplarily, after replacing the filter cartridge in the water purifier, the user can reset the service life of the filter cartridge by clicking the filter cartridge life reset control in the second interactive area. After the user clicks the filter cartridge life reset control, the filter cartridge life display area in the second interactive area correspondingly displays that the service life of the filter cartridge is 0 days.
[0134] S403: Reset the service life of the filter element through the control module.
[0135] It can be understood that the water purifier resets the service life of the filter cartridge through the control module to recalculate the usage time for the newly replaced filter cartridge by the user, so that when the usage time of the filter cartridge is greater than the preset time, it is determined that the service life of the filter cartridge has expired, and the filter cartridge replacement reminder information is sent to the user's terminal through the control module again.
[0136] In the above-mentioned water purifier control method, when the water purifier determines that the service life of the filter element has expired, the control module sends the filter element replacement reminder information to the user's terminal. After the user replaces the filter element based on the filter element replacement reminder information, in response to the filter element life reset operation input by the user based on the second interactive area, the filter element life reset instruction carried by the filter element life reset operation is sent to the control module through the water purification module, and the service life of the filter element is reset through the control module. The whole process can prompt the user to replace the filter element in time when the service life of the filter element expires, which reduces the failure rate of the water purifier and improves the quality of purified water; in addition, by resetting the service life of the filter element, the user can be promptly reminded when the service life of the filter element after the user's replacement expires, which improves the user's experience.
[0137] It should be understood that, although the various steps in the flowcharts involved in the above-mentioned embodiments are displayed in sequence according to the indication of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in sequence according to the order indicated by the arrows.

Moreover, at least a part of the steps in the flowcharts involved in the above-mentioned embodiments can include multiple steps or multiple stages, and these steps or stages are not necessarily executed at the same time, but can be executed at different times, and the execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily to be carried out in sequence, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least a part of the steps or stages in other steps.
