[0048] The water temperature of traditional water dispensers is usually preset, with hot water generally kept at a temperature close to boiling point and cold water close to freezing point. Although this design can meet the drinking water needs in most cases, users may need water at different temperatures in some specific occasions. For example, when brewing different types of tea, coffee or baby milk powder, precise control of water temperature is particularly important. In addition, some users may feel uncomfortable with overheated or overcooled water, or require drinking water at a specific temperature for health reasons.

[0057] The control scheme of the water dispenser in the embodiment of the present application can be deployed on the server 210, or on the terminal 220, or partially on the server 210 and partially on the terminal 220. In actual scenarios, it can be selected based on actual needs, and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, a water dispenser 300 provided by the present application may include: a heat exchanger 301, a heater 302 and a control system 303, wherein:

[0062] The heat exchanger 301 includes a hot water end and a cold water end, and the inlet P1 of the cold water end is connected to the water inlet passage of the water dispenser 300. Optionally, the water inlet passage may include a water tank assembly, a No. 1 temperature probe, and a flow-controlled water pump, the water tank assembly is used to store water, the No. 1 temperature probe is used to detect the water temperature in the water tank assembly, the flow-controlled water pump can automatically adjust its flow output through the pump, and is used to pump water from the water tank assembly according to the control parameters, and the inlet P1 of the cold water end can be connected to the water outlet of the flow-controlled water pump.

[0063] The outlet P2 of the cold water end of the heat exchanger 301 is connected to the inlet S1 of the heater 302 and the reflux passage respectively; optionally, the outlet P2 of the cold water end of the heat exchanger 301 can be connected to the inlet S1 of the heater 302 through a limiting valve, so as to control the water flow entering the heater 302 through the limiting valve. The inlet S1 of the heater 302 can be provided with a No. 2 temperature probe for detecting the temperature of the water entering the heater 302. The reflux passage can be provided with a pressure switch for controlling the water flow returning to the water tank assembly.

[0064] The inlet P3 of the hot water end of the heat exchanger 301 is connected to the outlet S2 of the heater 302 . Optionally, a temperature probe No. 3 may be provided at the outlet S2 of the heater 302 to detect the temperature of water coming out of the heater 302 .

[0065] The outlet P4 of the hot water end of the heat exchanger 301 is connected to the water outlet passage of the water dispenser 300 ; optionally, the outlet P4 of the hot water end of the heat exchanger 301 can be provided with a No. 4 temperature probe for detecting the water temperature coming out of the heat exchanger 301 .

[0066] The control system 303 is connected to the heat exchanger 301 and the heater 302 respectively, and is used to obtain the target temperature of the water outlet of the water dispenser 300, the preset water flow rate of the water dispenser 300 and the outlet P2 water temperature of the cold water end; determine the inlet P3 water temperature of the hot water end of the heat exchanger 301 according to the target temperature; adjust the control parameters of the water dispenser 300 according to the target temperature, the preset water flow rate, the outlet P2 water temperature of the cold water end, and the inlet P3 water temperature of the hot water end; and control the water dispenser 300 to output water of the target temperature from the water outlet passage according to the control parameters.

[0067] In one embodiment, the outlet S2 of the heater 302 is connected to the water outlet passage; optionally, the water outlet passage may include a 2-in / 1-out hot water valve and a water outlet nozzle, the outlet S2 of the heater 302 may be connected to one of the water inlets of the 2-in / 1-out hot water valve, and the outlet P4 of the hot water end of the heat exchanger 301 may be connected to the other water inlet of the 2-in / 1-out hot water valve.

[0068] Optionally, the water tank assembly may be connected to a water purifier via a water inlet solenoid valve, so that water entering the water tank assembly is purified by the water purifier.

[0069] Optionally, the control system 303 is connected to the water tank assembly, the flow control pump, the temperature probe No. 1, the temperature probe No. 2, the temperature probe No. 3, the temperature probe No. 4, the heating body, and the 2-inlet and 1-outlet hot water valve by wires to output and receive signals. The control system 303 senses the operating parameters and environmental parameters of different modules through a variety of sensors, and selects different control logics to run according to user needs, starts and controls the start and stop of corresponding control valves, conveying equipment, etc., and adjusts the operating parameters of different devices to output boiled water to meet user needs.

[0070] For example, after receiving the cooked water (i.e. boiled water) signal sent by the terminal, the main board of the control system 300 receives the parameters of various sensors, determines the initial water temperature and the stock in the water tank assembly, as well as the real-time boiled water temperature, controls the operating conditions of various components according to the relevant parameters, switches the valve water circuit, adjusts the flow of the flow control water pump, and adjusts the power of the heater 302, thereby outputting boiled water of the required temperature.

[0071] Optionally, the heater 302 has a power-adjustable heating element, which may be a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient, a heating element based on a positive temperature coefficient) heating element, a rare earth thick film heating element or a metal heating tube, etc. The clean water in contact with the heating element is heated and boiled by generating heat. The heating power of the heating element is controlled and adjusted by the control system 303 according to the detected sensor parameters, and the boiling clean water is input from the water outlet of the heating element to the clean water inlet of the heat exchanger.

[0072] Optionally, the heat exchanger 301 has two intertwined water paths, one of which is fed with normal temperature water and the other with heated hot water. There is a large temperature difference between the hot water and the intertwined normal temperature water, so that the energy of the hot water can be exchanged with the normal temperature water. By controlling the temperature difference before and after the heat exchange, the amount of water for heat exchange can be controlled to quickly reduce the temperature of the hot water to the required temperature.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, the flow difference between the two water paths passing through the heat exchanger in unit time can be controlled through the reflux path, thereby controlling the water temperature and flow rate of the water outlet of the water dispenser, and saving the cost of the heat exchanger, thereby saving the cost of the whole machine and reducing the volume of the whole machine.

[0074] Please see Figure 4 , which is a control method for a water dispenser according to an embodiment of the present application, the method can be Figure 1 The electronic device 1 shown is used to perform and can be applied to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the control application scenario of the water dispenser shown in the figure, the outlet water temperature is precisely controlled by precisely adjusting the working parameters of the heat exchanger and the heater according to the actual water temperature demand, ensuring that the user can obtain the water temperature that meets the expectations. Figure 3 Taking the water dispenser 300 as an execution end as an example, the method includes the following steps:

[0075] Step 401: Obtain the target temperature of water coming out of the water dispenser;

[0076] In this step, the target temperature refers to the water outlet temperature of the water dispenser currently required, for example, it can be the temperature of boiled water that the user wants. Assuming that the user wants 45°C water, he can select 45°C on the control panel and press the confirmation button. The control system 303 of the water dispenser receives the confirmation signal and can obtain the target temperature of 45°C.

[0077] Step 402: Determine the outlet water temperature of the heater according to the target temperature;

[0078] In this step, the hot water heated by the heater will enter the hot water end of the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is used to perform heat exchange between the heated hot water and the water at the cold water end to adjust the temperature of the hot water. The outlet water temperature of the heater refers to the water temperature entering the heat exchanger after being heated by the heater. In practical applications, different target temperatures can correspond to different outlet water temperatures of the heater. For example, when the target temperature is relatively high, the outlet water temperature of the heater can be relatively high to ensure that the hot water after passing through the heat exchanger can meet the user's temperature requirements. When the target temperature is relatively low, the outlet water temperature of the heater can be relatively low, which can reduce the energy consumption of the water dispenser and improve energy utilization while meeting the user's requirements for the outlet water temperature.

[0079] by Figure 3 Taking the scenario as an example, in actual application, Figure 3 The temperature probe No. 3 detects the actual water temperature at the outlet of the heater 302, and then determines whether the actual water temperature reaches the outlet water temperature of the heater 302 corresponding to the target temperature. If not, the power of the heater 302 can be increased by the control system 303 to ensure that the actual water temperature reaches the outlet water temperature of the heater 302 required by the target temperature.

[0080] Step 403: adjusting the control parameters of the water dispenser according to the target temperature, the preset water flow rate of the heater and the outlet water temperature of the heater;

[0081] In this step, the preset water flow refers to the water flow entering the water dispenser heater, which can be determined based on the basic hardware parameters of the heater, such as the maximum power. Assuming that the maximum power of the heater is 2KW, the preset water flow can be 0.4L / min, ensuring that the water temperature after being heated by the heater can reach the boiling water temperature requirement. By comprehensively considering the target water temperature required by the user, the preset water flow inherent in the water dispenser, and the required outlet water temperature of the heater, the control parameters of the water dispenser can be dynamically adjusted so that the control parameters can change according to actual needs, thereby improving the flexibility and accuracy of the water dispenser control.

[0082] In one embodiment, step 403 may specifically include: obtaining the current inlet water temperature of the water dispenser heater; determining the heating power of the water dispenser heater based on a first temperature difference between the current inlet water temperature and the outlet water temperature of the heater and a preset water flow rate, wherein the control parameters include the heating power.

[0083] In this embodiment, the current inlet water temperature of the heater can be detected by a temperature sensor, such as by Figure 3 The first temperature difference between the inlet water temperature of the heater and the outlet water temperature of the heater can represent the temperature difference between the actual water temperature entering the heater after coming out of the heat exchanger and the water temperature after the heater is heated under the current target temperature requirement, and represents the energy demand corresponding to the target temperature. According to the energy transfer principle, combined with the preset water flow matching the heater, the heating power required to heat the water from the inlet water temperature of the heater to the required outlet water temperature can be accurately calculated, thereby avoiding unnecessary energy waste. It ensures that the heater achieves the best heating effect with minimal power consumption while meeting the target temperature requirements.

[0084] In one embodiment, step 403 may specifically include: determining the total water inlet flow of the water dispenser according to a second temperature difference between the target temperature and the outlet water temperature of the heater and a preset water flow, wherein the control parameter includes the total water inlet flow.

[0085] In this embodiment, the heat exchanger cools the hot water by exchanging heat between the cold water at the cold water end and the hot water at the hot water end. The second temperature difference between the target temperature and the outlet water temperature of the heater can characterize the temperature change required for the heated hot water after the heat exchange through the heat exchanger, and can characterize the energy change required for the hot water to reach the target temperature. Then, according to the law of conservation of energy, combined with the preset water flow rate of the hot water in the heat exchanger and the efficiency of the heat exchanger, the cold water flow rate required for the heat exchanger to reduce the hot water from the outlet water temperature of the heater to the target water temperature can be accurately calculated, and the cold water flow rate is the total water inlet flow rate of the water dispenser. In this way, using the second temperature difference as the basis for adjustment, the required total water inlet flow rate can be accurately calculated to ensure that the heat exchange process can quickly and accurately reach the target temperature. It not only optimizes the utilization efficiency of water resources, but also reduces waiting time and energy consumption. It enables the water dispenser to flexibly adapt to different water temperature requirements and maintain a stable outlet water temperature and flow rate. It improves the operating efficiency and reliability of the equipment and enhances the user experience.

[0086] Step 404: Control the water dispenser to output water of target temperature from the water outlet passage according to the control parameters.

[0087] In this step, the control parameters can accurately characterize the actual operating status of each module in the water dispenser under the constraint of the target temperature. Therefore, the water dispenser can be accurately controlled to output water that meets the target temperature according to the control parameters. The outlet water temperature can be accurately controlled by precisely adjusting the working parameters of the heat exchanger and heater according to the actual water temperature requirements, ensuring that users can obtain water temperature that meets their expectations.

[0088] In one embodiment, step 404 may specifically include: controlling the water inlet passage of the water dispenser to take in water according to the total water inlet flow, and controlling a preset water flow in the total water inlet flow to pass into the heater, and controlling the remaining water flow in the total water inlet flow except the preset water flow to enter the reflux passage; controlling the heater to heat the water entering the heater according to the heating power, and controlling the heated water to be output from the water outlet passage through the heat exchanger.

[0089] In this embodiment, the total water inlet flow rate can meet the cold water flow rate required by the heat exchanger to reduce the water temperature of the hot water from the outlet of the heater to the target water temperature. By controlling the water inlet passage to enter water at the total water inlet flow rate, the supply of cold water in the heat exchanger is guaranteed, and a fixed preset water flow rate is introduced into the heater so that the heater heats the water and then passes it into the heat exchanger, thereby ensuring the supply of hot water in the heat exchanger, and then achieving the target temperature after the hot water is heat exchanged. For the remaining water flow coming out of the heat exchanger, the return flow passage is introduced and returned to the water tank assembly for reuse, thereby optimizing the distribution and utilization of the water flow. This water flow management strategy not only improves the working efficiency of the heat exchanger, but also reduces unnecessary waste of water resources. During the heating process, the heater is controlled to heat the water according to the calculated heating power, thereby ensuring the heating efficiency and temperature accuracy. After the heated water passes through the heat exchanger, the water temperature meets the target temperature and is then output from the water outlet passage. By accurately adjusting the water inlet and heating process of the water dispenser according to the control parameters, efficient and accurate control of the outlet water temperature is achieved, which not only improves the energy efficiency and reliability of the water dispenser, but also enhances the user experience.

[0090] by Figure 3Taking the scenario shown as an example, when the target temperature t3 of boiled water taken by the user is 45°C, the control system 303 receives the signal transmission for taking boiled water, and the No. 1 temperature sensor of the water tank assembly detects that the temperature of the pure water in the water tank is 25°C (t1). Under the action of the flow limiting valve, the flow through the heating body is fixed to the preset water flow rate of 0.4L / min (Q1). The No. 2 temperature sensor detects that the temperature of the pure water at room temperature rises to 35°C (t4, i.e., the current inlet water temperature of the heater 302) after passing through the heat exchanger 301. Assuming that the target temperature of 45°C requires an outlet temperature of the heater 302 of 95°C, according to the temperature difference of 60°C (i.e., △t1=95°C-t4), the heating power corresponding to 60°C can be found as w1 from the preset power table, and the heating power of the heater 302 is controlled to be adjusted to w1 synchronously. In order to ensure that the inlet water temperature of the heat exchanger 301 detected by the No. 3 temperature sensor (i.e., the actual outlet water temperature after heating by the heater 302) is 95°C, the 95°C boiling water from the heater 302 is controlled to enter the heat exchanger 301 at a preset water flow rate of 0.40L / min (Q1); according to the preset water flow rate of 0.40L / min (Q1) and the temperature difference of 50°C (△t2=95°C-t3), based on the law of conservation of energy, the total water inlet flow rate of the normal temperature water that needs to enter the heat exchanger 301 is calculated to be 0.8L / min (Q2), that is, the pure output flow rate Q2 of the flow control pump is 0.8L / min, of which 0.4L / min (Q1) flows into the heater 302, and the remaining 0.4L / min (Q=Q2-Q1) flows back into the water tank through the pressure switch, so that after convection heat exchange, the output is boiled water that meets the target temperature of 45°C (t3).

[0091] When the user takes boiled water with a target temperature of 35°C (t5), the control system 303 receives the signal transmission for taking boiled water. Sensor No. 1 of the water tank assembly detects that the pure water temperature in the water tank is 25°C (t1). Under the action of the flow limiting valve, the flow through the heater 302 is fixed to the preset water flow of 0.4L / min (Q1). Temperature sensor No. 2 detects that the temperature of the pure water at room temperature rises to 35° after passing through the heat exchanger 301 (t4, i.e., the current inlet water temperature of the heater 302). Assuming that the outlet temperature of the heater 302 required for the target temperature of 35°C is 90°C, based on the temperature difference of 55°C (i.e., △t3=90-35°C), the heating power is determined by the following formula:

[0092] △t3 / △t1=55 / 60

[0093] =91.6%

[0094] Determine that the required heating power of heater 302 is 91.6% of w1, and adjust heater 302 to operate at 91.6% of w1. To ensure that the water temperature of the heat exchanger 301 (i.e., the actual outlet water temperature after heating by heater 302) is 90°C, control the 90°C boiling water from heater 302 to enter the heat exchanger at a preset water flow rate of 0.40L / min (Q1); based on the preset water flow rate of 0.40L / min (Q1) and the temperature difference of 55°C (△t3=90°C-t5), based on the law of conservation of energy, calculate that the total water flow rate of normal temperature water that needs to enter the heat exchanger 301 is Q3, and Q3 can be determined by the following formula:

[0095] Q3=△t3 / △t2*0.8L / min

[0096] =0.88L / min

[0097] That is, the output flow rate Q3 of the flow-controlled water pump is 0.88 L / min, of which 0.4 L / min (Q1) flows into the heater 302, and the remaining 0.48 L / min (Q=Q3-Q1) flows back into the water tank through the pressure switch, so that after convection heat exchange, the output is boiled water that meets the target temperature of 35°C (t5).

[0098] In one embodiment, the outlet of the heater is connected to the water outlet passage; the target temperature is boiling water temperature, and step 404 may specifically include: controlling the heater to heat the water entering the heater according to the heating power, and controlling the heated water to be output from the water outlet passage.

[0099] In this embodiment, by directly connecting the outlet of the heater to the water outlet passage, the water heated by the heater can be directly output to the user without passing through the heat exchanger. This solution is particularly suitable for when the target temperature required by the user is boiling water temperature. By adjusting the heater based on the control parameters determined by the target temperature, the water dispenser can accurately control the heating power of the heater, thereby effectively heating the water entering the heater. The heated water can be output from the water outlet passage at a stable target temperature, meeting the user's demand for high-temperature water.

[0100] by Figure 3Take the scenario shown as an example. When the user takes boiling water, the control system 303 receives the signal transmission for taking boiling water. Sensor No. 1 of the water tank assembly detects that the water temperature in the water tank is 25°C (t1). Due to the effect of the flow limiting valve, the water flow through the heater 302 is fixed at 0.4L / min (Q1). Temperature sensor No. 2 detects that the water temperature rises to 35° (t4) after the pure water at room temperature passes through the heat exchanger 301. According to the first temperature difference of 60°C (△t1=95°C-t4), the heating power of the heater 302 can be adjusted to w1 synchronously according to 60°C (△t1). Then, the heated boiling water does not flow through the heat exchanger 301, but flows directly from the water outlet, meeting the user's demand for boiling water temperature.

[0101] Optionally, you can control Figure 3 The 2-in-1-out hot water valve in the water outlet is used to control the water flow in the water outlet passage. For example, when the user takes cold boiled water, the 2-in-1-out hot water valve in the water outlet passage is switched to the hot water outlet P4 of the heat exchanger 301, and only water is allowed to flow through the heat exchanger 301 and then flow out to the water outlet. When the user takes boiling water, the 2-in-1-out hot water valve in the water outlet passage is switched to the outlet S2 of the heater 302, and the water does not flow through the heat exchanger 301, but directly flows out of the heater 302 and then flows to the water outlet.

[0102] In one embodiment, after step 404, it also includes: detecting the actual water outlet temperature of the water outlet passage; if the actual water outlet temperature is greater than the target temperature, increasing the total water inlet flow of the water dispenser according to the temperature difference between the actual water outlet temperature and the target temperature, and controlling the remaining water flow of the total water inlet flow excluding the preset water flow to enter the reflux passage; if the actual water outlet temperature is lower than the target temperature, reducing the total water inlet flow of the water dispenser according to the temperature difference between the actual water outlet temperature and the target temperature, and controlling the remaining water flow of the total water inlet flow excluding the preset water flow to enter the reflux passage.

[0103] In this embodiment, by detecting the actual water outlet temperature of the water outlet passage after outputting water at the target temperature, the water dispenser can achieve more accurate temperature control. When it is detected that the actual water outlet temperature is higher than the target temperature, it means that the heat exchanger fails to cool the heated hot water to the target temperature. According to the difference between the actual temperature and the target temperature, the total water inlet flow rate can be increased, and then the cold water flow rate used for cooling in the heat exchanger can be increased. Under the premise of ensuring that the water flow entering the heater meets the preset water flow rate, the excess water is circulated through the reflux passage to reduce the water outlet temperature to the target temperature. On the contrary, when the actual water outlet temperature is lower than the target temperature, it means that the water flow rate at the cold water end of the heat exchanger is too large and the temperature is reduced too much. The total water inlet flow rate can be reduced, and then the cold water flow rate in the heat exchanger can be reduced. The water volume can also be adjusted by using the reflux passage to increase the water outlet temperature to the target temperature. This dynamic adjustment mechanism not only improves the temperature control accuracy of the water dispenser, but also effectively reduces energy waste, ensures that users can always get the expected water temperature, and improves the overall performance and user experience of the device.

[0104] by Figure 3 Taking the middle scenario as an example, the water temperature of the water outlet can be detected by temperature sensor No. 4 as the actual water outlet temperature, which is compared with the target temperature. If there is a temperature deviation, the temperature deviation is fed back to the control system 303. The control system 303 fine-tunes the flow rate of the water pump and / or the power of the heater 302 to make the temperature of the water outlet meet the target temperature requirement, thereby achieving the purpose of precise temperature control.

[0105] The control method of the above-mentioned water dispenser controls the temperature of boiled water by adjusting the flow difference between the cold water end and the hot water end of the heat exchanger through the flow control of the water pump. It realizes precise control of the outlet water temperature according to the actual water temperature demand by accurately adjusting the working parameters of the heat exchanger and the heater, ensuring that users can obtain water temperature that meets their expectations.

[0106] Please see Figure 5 , which is a control method for a water dispenser according to an embodiment of the present application, the method can be Figure 1 The electronic device 1 shown is used to perform and can be applied to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the control application scenario of the water dispenser shown in FIG. Figure 3 Taking the water dispenser 300 as an execution end as an example, the method includes the following steps:

[0107] Step 501: Obtain the target temperature of water coming out of the water dispenser;

[0108] Step 502: obtaining the current inlet water temperature of the water dispenser heater;

[0109] Step 503: Determine the heating power of the water dispenser heater according to a first temperature difference between the current inlet water temperature and the outlet water temperature and a preset water flow rate, wherein the control parameters include the heating power.

[0110] Step 504: Determine the total water inlet flow of the water dispenser according to the second temperature difference between the target temperature and the outlet water temperature of the heater and the preset water flow, wherein the control parameters include the total water inlet flow.

[0111] Step 505: Control the water inlet passage of the water dispenser to inlet water according to the total water inlet flow, control a preset water flow in the total water inlet flow to pass into the heater, and control the remaining water flow in the total water inlet flow minus the preset water flow to enter the reflux passage;

[0112] Step 506: Control the heater to heat the water entering the heater according to the heating power, and control the heated water to be output from the water outlet passage through the heat exchanger.
