[0057] The water heated by the heating module 500 enters the heat storage module 400 or the water outlet module 200. The hot water in the heat storage module 400 is used to exchange heat with the normal temperature water input to the heat exchange module 300, and the water heated by the heat exchange in the heat exchange module 300 enters the water outlet module 200 or the heating module 500. The water inlet module 800 is connected to the heat exchange module 300, the heat storage module 400, the heating module 500 and the water outlet module 200 through pipelines, that is, the first path of water input into the water supply device by the water inlet module 800 enters the heat exchange module 300 (the water is heated after heat exchange in the heat exchange module 300), the second path of water input into the water supply device by the water inlet module 800 enters the heat storage module 400 (the water serves as the heat exchange medium of the heat storage module 400), the third path of water input into the water supply device by the water inlet module 800 enters the heating module 500, and the fourth path of water input into the water supply device by the water inlet module 800 enters the water outlet module 200 (the water enters the water outlet module 200 at room temperature).

[0058] The loop module 700 is connected to at least one of the heat exchange module 300 , the heat storage module 400 , and the heating module 500 , and the water outlet module 200 to form a reflux water path.

[0062] Optionally, the heat storage module 400 further includes: a water storage circulation pump 65. The water storage circulation pump 65 is a water pump, which is used to pump the hot water output by the heater 51 back to the heat tank.

[0063] It can be understood that the hot tank is divided into a first hot tank 41A and a second hot tank 41B. The first hot tank 41A has heating and water storage functions, and the second hot tank 41B has a water storage function but not a heating function.

[0064] Optionally, the water outlet module 200 further includes a sixth control valve 16. The sixth control valve 16 is a one-way valve or a two-way valve, which is used to prevent water outside the faucet 25 from entering the water outlet module 200, thereby preventing the water outside the faucet 25 from polluting the water supply device.

[0065] The loop module 700 includes: a diverter valve 64, a seventh control valve 17, a second pumping component 71 and a waste water pipe 72. It is understandable that the second pumping component 71 can be a water pump. The second pumping component 71 can also be replaced by a water bag. The diverter valve 64 is a three-way valve, the first end of the diverter valve 64 is connected to the hot tank, the second end of the diverter valve 64 is connected to the seventh control valve 17, and the third end of the diverter valve 64 is connected to the refrigerator 61.

[0066] Optionally, the first end of the seventh control valve 17 is communicated with the end of the fourth control valve 14 near the tap 25, the second end of the seventh control valve 17 is communicated with the inlet of the second pumping component 71, the third end of the seventh control valve 17 is communicated with the hot tank, and the outlet of the second pumping component 71 is communicated with the waste water pipe 72, wherein the seventh control valve 17 is a three-way valve or a component composed of a plurality of two-way valves. The waterway corresponding to the hot tank, the seventh control valve 17, the second pumping component 71 and the waste water pipe 72 is used as the hot tank drainage waterway (part of the reflux waterway), so that the water in the hot tank can be discharged.

[0068] The water inlet module 800 is connected to the inlet of the water outlet module 200 to form a normal temperature water path, that is, when the water outlet module 200 does not include the sixth control valve 16, the water path corresponding to the water inlet 80, the second control valve 12, the fifth control valve 15, the fourth control valve 14 and the tap 25 is used as a normal temperature water path. When the water outlet module 200 also includes the sixth control valve 16, the water path corresponding to the water inlet 80, the second control valve 12, the fifth control valve 15, the fourth control valve 14, the sixth control valve 16 and the tap 25 is used as a normal temperature water path.

[0069] The water path corresponding to the water inlet 80, the second control valve 12, the fifth control valve 15, the third control valve 13, the refrigerator 61, the cold water pump 62, the cold water valve 63, the sixth control valve 16 to the faucet 25 is used as a cold water path.

[0070] The water inlet module 800, the first tube of the heat exchange module 300, the heating module 500, and the inlet of the water outlet module 200 are connected in sequence to form a hot water waterway. That is to say, the waterway from the water inlet 80, the first tube of the heat exchanger 32, the water change valve 66, the heater 51, the fourth control valve 14 to the faucet 25 is used as the hot water waterway.

[0071] The heat storage module 400 is connected to the second pipe of the heat exchange module 300 to form a circulating heat exchange circuit, that is, the water circuit corresponding to the hot tank, the first pumping component 43, the second pipe of the heat exchanger 32 and the hot tank is used as a circulating heat exchange circuit. When the circulating heat exchange circuit is working, the third control valve 13 is in a closed state, so that the first pumping component 43 extracts water (hot water) in the hot tank from the hot tank to the first end of the second pipe of the heat exchanger 32, and the heat in the hot water is exchanged to the first pipe of the heat exchanger 32 and becomes cold, and then flows back to the hot tank from the second end of the second pipe of the heat exchanger 32.

[0072] The heat carried by the second tube of the heat exchanger 32 is exchanged to the first tube of the heat exchanger 32 to increase the temperature of the water flowing through the first tube of the heat exchanger 32, thereby achieving heat exchange.

[0073] See also Figure 5 For the heating module 500 and the heat storage module 400 being connected to form a hot water storage circuit, an optional implementation method is: using the water circuit formed from the water inlet 80, the first pipe of the heat exchanger 32, the heater 51, the fourth control valve 14, the seventh control valve 17 to the hot tank as a hot water storage circuit.

[0075] The eighth control valve 18 may be a three-way valve or a component formed by combining a plurality of two-way valves.

[0076] It can be understood that the hot tank is provided with an exhaust hole 42, through which the hot tank discharges excess gas inside the hot tank.

[0077] Optionally, the gas exhausted from the hot tank through the exhaust hole 42 is exhausted to the external environment through the exhaust port 26 of the water outlet module 200.

[0078] Optionally, the water path from the water inlet 80, the second control valve 12, the fifth control valve 15, the third control valve 13, the water replenishment valve 67 to the hot tank is used as the water replenishment water path of the hot tank, and the water replenishment water path is used to replenish water to the hot tank.

[0079] Optionally, the heating module 500 uses a thick film heater 51. The thick film heater 51 is usually a heating element formed by making a heating resistor material or the like on a substrate using thick film technology. The thick film heater 51 has the characteristics of rapid heating, high thermal efficiency, stable performance, and long service life, and is widely used in some equipment that requires rapid heating and precise temperature control. It is understandable that the heating module 500 can also use a heater, which is not limited here.

[0080] Optionally, the water outlet module 200 further includes: a ninth control valve, the inlet of the ninth control valve is communicated with the external environment, and the outlet of the ninth control valve is communicated with the exhaust port 26 of the water outlet module 200, wherein the ninth control valve is a one-way valve. Air is supplied to the loop module 700 through the exhaust port 26 of the water outlet module 200 to evacuate water from the ninth control valve to the waste water pipe 72.

[0081] Optionally, the water supply device further includes: a cleaning agent delivery module, which is connected to the water inlet module, the heat exchange module 300, the heat storage module 400, the heating module 500 and the water outlet module. The cleaning agent delivery module includes a cleaning agent storage box and a dosage delivery control valve. Whether the cleaning agent in the cleaning agent storage box is delivered is controlled by controlling the on-off of the dosage delivery control valve, and the delivery amount of the cleaning agent in the cleaning agent storage box is controlled by controlling the conduction time of the dosage delivery control valve. It is understandable that the number of the dosage delivery control valves is multiple, so that cleaning agent can be delivered to each module and the water inlet module separately.

[0082] Optionally, the control module 900 includes: a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, and the processor implements the steps of the water supply device temperature control method described in the present application when executing the computer program. The method includes: obtaining a water outlet instruction, the water outlet instruction includes a target temperature; responding to the water outlet instruction, obtaining the normal temperature water temperature and the thermostat configuration of the water supply device; determining the water outlet control instruction based on the target temperature, the normal temperature water temperature and the thermostat configuration; and controlling the water supply device to discharge water based on the water outlet control instruction. The present application responds to the water outlet instruction carrying the target temperature, accurately obtains the normal temperature water temperature and the thermostat configuration in the water supply device, thereby determining the water outlet instruction that meets the user's needs, and then accurately controls the temperature and discharges water for each module of the water supply device according to the drainage instruction, which not only effectively improves the response speed of the water outlet temperature control of the water supply device, but also reduces the temperature fluctuation, and flexibly meets the user's diverse needs for water at different temperatures.

[0083] Optionally, the water supply device control method of the present application is implemented by a smart device, and the smart device is connected to the water supply device for communication.

[0085] The present invention is described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0086] See also Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 A flow chart of a method for controlling the temperature of a water supply device provided in an embodiment of the present invention is provided. The method is used to control a water supply device. The method includes:

[0087] S1. Obtaining a water outlet instruction, which includes a target temperature;

[0088] The water outlet command is a command for controlling the water outlet module 200 to discharge water. The target temperature is the temperature of the water discharged by the water outlet module 200 that the user wants.

[0094] The normal water temperature of the water supply device is the temperature of the water input into the water supply device through the water inlet 80. The temperature of the water input into the water supply device can be detected by installing a temperature detection sensor at the water inlet 80. When the water outlet instruction is obtained, the real-time temperature detected by the temperature detection sensor is used as the normal water temperature of the water supply device. The heat exchange configuration of the heat exchange module 300 includes: the corresponding relationship data of the flow rate of the second tube of the heat exchanger 32, the flow rate of the first tube of the heat exchanger 32 and the temperature of the water in the hot tank 41. The heating configuration of the heating module 500 includes: the heating power data of the heating module 500, the corresponding relationship between the heated water outlet flow rate and the heating temperature.

[0095] S3. Determine the water control instruction based on the target temperature, normal water temperature and temperature adjustment configuration;

[0096] Optionally, when the water outlet module 200 takes the target temperature as the primary target and the expected flow rate as the secondary target, a table lookup method is used to determine the water outlet control data corresponding to the water outlet control instruction based on the normal water temperature, target temperature, expected flow rate, heat storage data, heat exchange configuration, heating configuration and cooling configuration. It can be understood that the data in the table used by the table lookup method can be obtained through limited experiments and will not be elaborated here.

[0097] The water outlet module 200 takes the target temperature as the primary target and the expected flow rate as the secondary target. That is to say, priority is given to ensuring that the temperature of the discharged water is equal to the target temperature. When the temperature of the discharged water cannot be guaranteed to be equal to the target temperature, the actual water outlet flow rate of the water outlet module 200 is reduced (which is lower than the expected flow rate at this time) so that the temperature of the water discharged by the water outlet module 200 is equal to or close to the target temperature.

[0098] Optionally, the water outlet control data corresponding to the water outlet control instruction includes: control data of each module (heat exchange module 300, heat storage module 400, heating module 500, refrigeration module 600 and water outlet module 200).

[0099] S4. Control the water supply device to discharge water based on the water discharge control instruction;

[0100] Specifically, according to the control data of each module of the water outlet control instruction, the heat exchange module 300, the heat storage module 400, the heating module 500, the refrigeration module 600 and the water outlet module 200 are controlled to drain water, so as to realize the water outlet module 200 to drain water with the target temperature as the primary target and the expected flow rate as the secondary target based on the heat energy stored in the heat storage module 400 and / or the heat energy generated by heating of the heating module 500 and / or the cold energy generated by refrigeration of the refrigeration module 600.

[0101] It can be understood that the water discharged in step S4 can be any one of room temperature water, warm water, boiling water and cold water.

[0102] It can be understood that the present application uses heat exchange and instant heating of the heating module 500 to ensure that the hot water discharged by the water supply device each time is freshly heated water, which meets the user's demand for healthy drinking water.

[0103] This embodiment responds to the water outlet instruction carrying the target temperature to accurately obtain the heat storage data of the heat storage module 400, the heat exchange configuration of the heat exchange module 300, the heating configuration of the heating module 500 and the refrigeration configuration of the refrigeration module 600 in the water supply device, thereby determining the water outlet instruction that meets the user's needs, and then accurately controlling the temperature and discharging water of each module of the water supply device according to the water discharge instruction, which not only effectively improves the response speed of the water outlet temperature control of the water supply device, but also reduces temperature fluctuations, and flexibly meets the user's diverse needs for water at different temperatures.

[0104] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, step S2 "responding to the water outlet instruction, obtaining the normal water temperature and temperature adjustment configuration of the water supply device" may specifically include:

[0105] S21. Identify the target temperature in the received water outlet instruction;

[0106] S22. If the target temperature is identified as a preset first range temperature, the normal water temperature and heating configuration of the water supply device are obtained;

[0107] S23. If the target temperature is identified as being within the preset second temperature range, the normal water temperature and cooling configuration of the water supply device are obtained.

[0108] Specifically, for step S2, after receiving the water outlet instruction, the water outlet instruction is first identified to identify the target temperature of this water outlet task. If the target temperature is detected to be a preset first range temperature, for example, the user presets the first range temperature to be hot water or boiling water higher than the normal water temperature, then the normal water temperature in the normal temperature water path of the water supply device at this time and the heating configuration of the water supply device are obtained, wherein the heating configuration includes a heat exchange configuration, a heat storage configuration and an instant heating configuration. If the target temperature is detected to be a preset first range temperature, for example, the user presets the first range temperature to be ice water or cold water lower than the normal water temperature, then the normal water temperature in the normal temperature water path of the water supply device at this time and the refrigeration configuration of the water supply device are obtained.

[0109] Among them, the heat exchange configuration refers to the system setting for heat exchange in the water supply device, including the type of heat exchanger, heat exchange area, flow channel design and material selection; the heat storage configuration can be the components and settings used to store heat in the water supply device, including heat storage media, heat storage tank design and insulation measures; the instant heating configuration refers to the system setting for heating water in the water supply device, including heating elements, control strategies and safety protection measures; the refrigeration configuration refers to the system setting for lowering the water temperature in the water supply device, including the refrigeration method, refrigerant and refrigeration cycle method.

[0110] In addition, the system can integrate an intelligent temperature prediction module that can predict the user's possible temperature needs based on historical data and current environmental conditions, so as to adjust the configuration of the water supply device in advance. The system can be equipped with environmental sensing sensors, such as temperature and humidity sensors, to monitor external environmental conditions in real time and automatically adjust the configuration of the water supply device according to these conditions. By analyzing the user's water use habits, the system can learn the user's preferences and automatically adjust the configuration to meet the user's personalized needs.

[0111] This embodiment can respond to the user's temperature needs more quickly and reduce energy waste by intelligently selecting configurations according to the target temperature range; it can more accurately control the outlet water temperature and provide a more comfortable user experience. Through intelligent configuration selection, the system can reduce unnecessary energy consumption while meeting user needs, achieve energy-saving effects, and can adapt to different usage environments and user needs, providing a more flexible and adaptable water temperature control solution. By accurately controlling the water temperature, the system can avoid safety issues caused by excessively high or low water temperatures.

[0112] Further, in some embodiments, step S3 "determining the water outlet control instruction based on the target temperature, the normal water temperature and the temperature adjustment configuration" may specifically include:

[0113] S31. If the target temperature is identified as a preset first range temperature, a first water outlet control instruction is determined based on the target temperature, normal water temperature, heat exchange configuration and heating configuration;

[0114] S32. If the target temperature is identified as a preset second range temperature, a second water outlet control instruction is determined based on the target temperature, the normal water temperature and the cooling configuration;

[0115] S33. If the target temperature is identified as normal water temperature, determine the third water outlet instruction.

[0116] Specifically, for step S3, first identify the target temperature in the water outlet instruction; if the target temperature belongs to the preset first range temperature (high temperature range), the first water outlet control instruction will be determined based on the target temperature, normal water temperature, heat exchange configuration and instant heating configuration. If the target temperature belongs to the preset second range temperature (low temperature range), the second water outlet control instruction will be determined based on the target temperature, normal water temperature and refrigeration configuration. If the target temperature is equal to the normal water temperature, the system will determine the third water outlet control instruction. By determining the corresponding water outlet control instruction, the water outlet temperature of the water supply device is controlled.

[0117] In a specific embodiment, this embodiment can also develop an intelligent algorithm that can dynamically adjust the water control instructions according to real-time data to more accurately match the target temperature; in addition to temperature, parameters such as water flow rate and water pressure can also be considered to improve the accuracy and response speed of water control through multi-parameter optimization; the system can learn the user's temperature preference and automatically adjust the water control instructions to reduce the user's operation requirements. In addition, a fault diagnosis function is added to the process of determining the water control instructions, as well as a redundant control strategy when key components fail to ensure the reliability of the system.

[0118] By comprehensively considering the target temperature, normal water temperature and temperature adjustment configuration, the system can more accurately control the outlet water temperature to meet user needs; by intelligently determining the outlet water control instructions, the system can reduce unnecessary energy consumption and improve overall energy efficiency; the system can quickly respond to the user's temperature requirements and provide a more comfortable water experience; through fault diagnosis and redundant control, the system can still operate when key components fail, improving the reliability of the system. The system can adapt to different usage environments and user needs, providing a more flexible and adaptable water temperature control solution.

[0119] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, step S4 "controlling the water supply device to discharge water based on the water discharge control instruction" may specifically include:

[0120] S41. If the target temperature is identified as a preset first range temperature, the hot water circuit in the water supply device is controlled to discharge water based on the first water discharge control instruction;

[0121] S42. If the target temperature is identified as a preset second range temperature, the cold water circuit in the water supply device is controlled to discharge water based on the second water discharge control instruction;

[0122] S43. If it is identified that the target temperature is the normal temperature water temperature, the normal temperature water path in the water supply device is controlled to discharge water based on the third water discharge control instruction.

[0123] Specifically, for step S4, the water outlet control instruction is first identified to determine the range to which the target temperature belongs. If the target temperature is identified as a preset first range temperature (high temperature range), the system will control the hot water circuit in the water supply device to discharge water based on the first water outlet control instruction. If the target temperature is identified as a preset second range temperature (low temperature range), the system will control the cold water circuit in the water supply device to discharge water based on the second water outlet control instruction. If the target temperature is equal to the normal temperature water temperature, the system will control the normal temperature water circuit in the water supply device to discharge water based on the third water outlet control instruction. Based on the above identification and control, the system performs corresponding water circuit control to ensure that the water outlet temperature meets the target temperature requirements.

[0124] In a specific embodiment, in addition to controlling the switch of the water circuit, the flow rate of the water circuit can also be precisely controlled to further fine-tune the water outlet temperature; an integrated temperature sensor monitors the water outlet temperature in real time and feeds back to the control system to achieve closed-loop control; for water supply devices with multiple water outlet points, a multi-zone water outlet control technology is developed to meet the temperature requirements of different water outlet points.

[0125] By precisely controlling the water outlet of different water channels, this embodiment of the invention can ensure that the water outlet temperature meets the target temperature set by the user; it can select the most suitable water channel for water outlet according to actual needs, thereby reducing energy waste and improving energy efficiency; users can choose water outlets of different temperatures according to their needs, thereby improving the convenience and comfort of use; through real-time monitoring and feedback, the system can quickly respond to temperature changes, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the system.

[0126] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the method further comprises:

[0127] S51. Obtain water use habit data;

[0128] Specifically, the water use habit data may be obtained from a preset storage space, or may be obtained from a client or a server.

[0129] It is understandable that water usage habit data may be obtained at intervals, for example, at 4 a.m. every day.

[0130] Water use habit data describes the corresponding relationship between water use time, water use amount and water use temperature.

[0131] S52. Determine the temperature adjustment mode according to the water use habit data;

[0132] Optionally, a table lookup method is used to determine the heat storage mode based on the water usage habit data.

[0133] Optionally, the water use habit data is input into a preset pattern prediction model for classification prediction, a vector element with the largest value is extracted from the predicted vector, and the classification category corresponding to the extracted vector element is used as the temperature control mode.

[0134] The preset pattern prediction model is a pre-trained multi-classification model. The model structure and model training method of the pattern prediction model can be selected from the existing technology and are not limited here.

[0135] S53. The water supply device is used to adjust the temperature of the circulating water exchange circuit according to the temperature adjustment mode;

[0136] Specifically, according to the temperature adjustment mode, the heating module 500 is controlled to heat, and the water heated by the heating module 500 is transported to the heat storage tank 41 of the heat storage module 400 to store thermal energy in the heat storage tank 41 .

[0137] It is understandable that the heat storage mode is determined once at the start time of each interval period, and then the determined heat storage mode is adopted during the interval period to store the water heated by the heating module 500 in the heat storage module 400 .

[0138] This embodiment adopts a heat storage mode determined according to water use habit data to store the water heated by the heating module 500 into the heat storage module 400, so that the heat storage meets the user's water use habits, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving while improving user satisfaction.

[0139] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the method further comprises:

[0140] S61. Obtain the current outlet water temperature of the water supply device;

[0141] Specifically, the temperature detector 21 of the water outlet module 200 detects the real-time temperature of the water entering the water outlet module 200 , and the temperature is used as the outlet water temperature of the water outlet module 200 .

[0142] S62. Generate temperature compensation data according to the outlet water temperature and the target temperature;

[0143] Optionally, the outlet water temperature and the target temperature are input into a preset compensation formula to calculate temperature compensation data.

[0144] It can be understood that the preset compensation formula is obtained by linear fitting based on multiple sets of historical water outlet temperatures and target temperatures.

[0145] S63. Update the water control instruction according to the temperature compensation data;

[0146] Specifically, according to the temperature compensation data, the compensation data of each module is determined by using a table lookup method, thereby generating an update water outlet control instruction to update the drainage control data according to the supplementary data of each module.

[0147] After the water supply device has been used for a period of time, the internal components of the water supply device age, resulting in deviations in the control target and the time effect of the control, which ultimately makes it difficult for the water discharged from the water outlet module 200 to reach the target temperature. In order to solve this problem, this embodiment obtains the outlet water temperature of the water outlet module 200 and compares it with the target temperature to generate temperature compensation data, and then uses the temperature compensation data to update the drainage control data, so as to compensate for the deviations in the control target and the time effect of the control caused by the aging of the internal components of the water supply device according to the updated water outlet control instructions. This can make the drainage control more accurate and adapt to the actual temperature conditions, help to achieve accurate regulation and stable control of the outlet water temperature, and improve the performance and effect of the entire system.

[0148] Further, in some embodiments, the water supply device includes at least one of a heat exchange module, a heat storage module, a heating module, a refrigeration module and a water outlet module, and the water supply device also includes a water inlet;

[0149] The water inlet is connected to the inlet of the water outlet module to form a normal temperature water path;

[0150] The water inlet, the first tube of the heat exchange module, the heating module, and the inlet of the water outlet module are sequentially connected to form a hot water circuit;

[0151] The second pipes of the heat storage module and the heat exchange module are connected to form a circulating heat exchange circuit;

[0152] The water inlet, the refrigeration module and the inlet of the water outlet module are connected in sequence to form a cold water circuit.

[0153] In this embodiment, the hot water discharged by the water supply device each time is freshly heated water through the cooperation of heat exchange and instant heating of the heating module 500, which meets the user's demand for healthy drinking water; the output of hot water is greatly increased and temperature fluctuations are reduced through the cooperation of heat exchange and instant heating of the heating module 500; in addition, by providing a refrigeration module 600 for instant refrigeration, the cold water discharged by the water supply device each time is freshly refrigerated water, which meets the user's demand for healthy drinking water and personalization.
