[0026] In order to make the features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0027] The technical solution in the present application will be described clearly and in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B: "and / or" in the text is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0028] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as suggesting or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0029] In order to improve the safety of drinking water equipment, the embodiment of the present application provides a heating control method, and the execution subject of the heating control method is the drinking water equipment. The following is a detailed description. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments. Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a system architecture diagram of a heating control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The specific process of the heating control method can be as follows:

[0030] In actual scenarios, there are many different heating modes for drinking water equipment during actual use. There are obvious differences in the heating speed of the liquid in the water storage component of the drinking water equipment under different heating modes. In order to determine the boiling point of the liquid in the area where the drinking water equipment is located, a low-power heating mode is often used to heat the liquid in the water storage component, and when the temperature of the liquid in the water storage component reaches the boiling point, the heating is stopped. However, the heating process of the low-power heating mode is too slow, which will increase the debugging time of the debugging personnel of the drinking water equipment, thereby increasing additional human resource costs and affecting the actual user experience.

[0031] Figure 1 It is a scenario schematic diagram of a heating control method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the drinking water equipment mainly includes a water storage component, an air pressure sensor and a water temperature sensor, wherein the water temperature sensor is arranged inside the water storage component to detect the temperature of the liquid in the water outlet component, and the air pressure sensor is arranged on the outer wall of the water storage component to obtain the air pressure value of the area where the drinking water equipment is located.

[0033] Specifically, when the drinking water equipment is powered on for the first time, the air pressure sensor obtains the air pressure data of the area where the drinking water equipment is currently located and determines the regional boiling point temperature of the area where the drinking water equipment is located through the standard boiling point temperature and standard vaporization heat of the liquid in a standard atmospheric environment that have been obtained in advance, wherein the liquid can specifically be water, and the target temperature value is generated by subtracting the preset temperature adjustment value from the boiling point temperature, wherein the target temperature value is the temperature that the water inside the water storage component needs to reach when the drinking water equipment switches from the initial heating mode to the target heating mode, that is, from the high-power heating mode to the low-power heating mode.

[0034] Once the target temperature value is determined, it means that the drinking water equipment is now ready to work. At this time, the external water source is connected to the water inlet of the water storage component and after the water capacity inside the water storage component reaches the preset capacity, the drinking water equipment is controlled to enter the initial heating mode, that is, heating in a high-power heating mode and obtaining the temperature change parameters of the liquid in the water storage component in real time through the water temperature sensor.

[0035] When the temperature change parameter of the liquid detected by the water temperature sensor is equal to the previously determined target temperature value, the drinking water device is controlled to switch to the target heating mode, that is, the drinking water device is controlled to operate in the low-power heating mode to continue heating the liquid inside the water storage component, thereby avoiding heating the temperature of the liquid above the boiling point in the high-power heating mode. In the target heating mode, the water temperature sensor continues to monitor the temperature change parameter. Once the temperature change parameter meets the preset stop heating condition, the drinking water device is controlled to exit the target heating mode to stop heating the liquid in the water storage component.

[0036] Exemplarily, when the drinking water device is in a high altitude area, the air pressure data of the current high altitude area is obtained based on the air pressure sensor, and the boiling point of the liquid in the current high altitude area is determined to be 90 degrees based on the air pressure data. After subtracting the preset temperature value from 90 degrees, 85 degrees is used as the target temperature value.

[0037] After the drinking water equipment enters the working state and the liquid inside the component is filled, it enters the initial heating mode. Since the initial heating mode has a large power, it can quickly heat the liquid. For example, starting from 20 degrees, the water temperature is raised to nearly 85 degrees within 5 minutes. When the water temperature sensor detects that the water temperature reaches 85 degrees, the drinking water equipment switches to the target heating mode. In the target heating mode, the liquid temperature rises slowly, and when it reaches 90 degrees, the drinking water equipment exits the target heating mode to stop heating. Compared with the traditional method of determining the boiling point by low-power heating, the heating time is greatly shortened. For the commissioning personnel, the equipment commissioning can be completed in a shorter time, reducing labor costs. For users, when using the equipment for the first time, they can quickly complete the boiling point determination and use the equipment normally to obtain hot water, which greatly improves the user experience.

[0038] based on Figure 1 The scene diagram shown below will be combined with Figure 2-Figure 6 , a heating control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is introduced in detail.

[0039] Based on the above situation, the present application embodiment proposes a heating control method. Figure 2 , Figure 2 Schematic diagram of a heating control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps S101-S104.

[0040] S101, obtaining air pressure data of the area where the drinking water device is located based on an air pressure sensor, and determining a target temperature value for mode switching of the drinking water device based on the air pressure data.

[0041] Specifically, the air pressure data of the area where the drinking water equipment is located is obtained through the air pressure sensor installed on the drinking water equipment. Then, the standard parameters of the liquid (usually water) under standard atmospheric pressure are obtained from the database built into the drinking water equipment or the pre-set parameter table, wherein the standard parameters include the standard boiling point temperature and standard vaporization heat of the liquid under standard atmospheric pressure. Then, according to the pre-set algorithm, the obtained standard parameters are combined with the local air pressure data measured by the air pressure sensor to obtain the regional boiling point temperature of the area where the drinking water equipment is located.

[0042] In actual scenarios, the high-power heating mode can quickly increase the water temperature, but if it is heated at high power until it reaches the normal boiling point, the water temperature will exceed the boiling point due to the continuous heat input due to the fast heating speed, causing the water to over-boil and produce a large amount of steam. On the one hand, it may cause safety problems, such as scalding users or damaging equipment components; on the other hand, excessive boiling may cause excessive precipitation of minerals and other components in the water, thereby affecting the water quality.

[0043] Based on the above problem, this solution generates the target temperature value by subtracting the preset temperature adjustment value from the boiling point temperature, that is, when switching from high-power heating mode to low-power heating mode, the water inside the water storage component is heated to the required boiling point temperature to avoid heating the temperature of the liquid above the boiling point in the high-power heating mode.

[0044] During the subsequent use of the drinking water device, the air pressure sensor will re-acquire the air pressure data of the area where the drinking water device is located based on the preset interval time to ensure the accuracy of the boiling point temperature. If the detection data of the air pressure sensor cannot be obtained after a certain interval time, a data acquisition request is initiated to the air pressure sensor. If the air pressure sensor fails to respond to the data acquisition request, it is considered that the working state of the air pressure sensor is a failure state; at this time, it is detected whether the drinking water device is matched and connected with any smart device through a home network or a mobile network, wherein the smart device includes but is not limited to a mobile calling device, a smart monitoring device, and a smart wearable device, etc. If the drinking water device is matched and connected with any smart device, a data acquisition request for air pressure data is sent to the smart device; when the smart device receives the data acquisition request, it determines the air pressure data corresponding to the current area where the drinking water device is located according to the location information carried by the drinking water device in the request, and returns the air pressure data to the drinking water device so that the drinking water device executes the above-mentioned target temperature value determination process.

[0045] If the drinking water device fails to match and connect with any smart device, a default temperature value required for mode switching is obtained from a local preset configuration, and the default temperature value is determined as the target temperature value.

[0046] S102, when the drinking water device is in an initial heating mode, obtaining temperature change parameters of the liquid in the water storage component based on a water temperature sensor.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, after the target temperature value is determined, the drinking water equipment can be controlled to enter the working state. The initial heating mode corresponds to the high-power heating mode. At this time, the external water source is obtained through the water inlet of the water storage component and after the water capacity inside the water storage component reaches the preset water capacity, the drinking water equipment is controlled to enter the initial heating mode, that is, heating is performed in the high-power heating mode and the temperature change parameters of the liquid in the water storage component are obtained in real time through the water temperature sensor, wherein the water temperature sensor may include a thermistor water temperature sensor, a thermocouple water temperature sensor and a semiconductor water temperature sensor, which are not specifically limited here.

[0048] Specifically, after the drinking water equipment enters the initial heating mode, the water temperature sensor installed inside the water storage component starts to work. As the heating element in the water storage component starts to release heat, the temperature of the liquid in the water storage component gradually rises. The water temperature sensor converts the water temperature change into a corresponding electrical signal change, which is then transmitted to the control circuit module of the drinking water equipment through a pre-connected wire. After receiving this electrical signal, the control circuit module analyzes and converts it according to the built-in signal processing program and algorithm to obtain specific temperature parameters that can reflect the temperature change of the liquid. For example, the received voltage value or current value is converted into a corresponding temperature value according to the calibrated corresponding relationship, and the corresponding temperature values ​​at different time points are recorded to form temperature change parameters.

[0049] S103: If the temperature change parameter is equal to the target temperature value, the drinking water device is controlled to enter a target heating mode.

[0050] Specifically, when the drinking water device is in the initial heating mode, the water temperature sensor continuously monitors and obtains the temperature change parameters of the liquid in the water storage component, and feeds back to the control module of the drinking water device in real time. When the control module detects that the received temperature change parameters are the same as the target temperature value determined in S101 above, in order to prevent the water temperature from continuing to rise rapidly and exceeding the appropriate range, the control module controls the drinking water device to switch from the relatively large heating power in the initial heating mode to the smaller heating power in the target heating mode.

[0051] After entering the target heating mode, the heating power becomes smaller and the rate of increase in liquid temperature will slow down. This can not only ensure that the temperature of the liquid is maintained within a suitable drinking range close to the target temperature value, but also reduce energy consumption. At the same time, it also avoids problems that may occur due to continuous high-temperature heating, such as deterioration of water quality and increased equipment loss.

[0052] S104: If the temperature change parameter satisfies the preset heating stop condition, the target heating mode is exited to stop heating the liquid in the water storage component.

[0053] Specifically, when the drinking water device is in the target heating mode, the water temperature sensor still continuously monitors the temperature change of the liquid in the water storage component, and transmits the corresponding temperature change parameter to the control module of the drinking water device in real time. When the control module detects that the temperature change parameter is the same as the boiling point temperature of the area where the drinking water device is located, the drinking water device is controlled to exit the target heating mode to stop heating the liquid in the water storage component; or when the control module detects that the temperature change parameter is less than the boiling point temperature of the area and the duration of being at a certain temperature value is greater than a preset time threshold, the drinking water device is controlled to exit the target heating mode to stop heating the liquid in the water storage component.

[0054] As can be seen from the above, by obtaining air pressure data from the air pressure sensor to determine the target temperature value, it can be quickly adjusted according to the air pressure differences in different regions, avoiding long waiting time for detection in plateau areas, greatly improving the speed of equipment activation, and thus enhancing utilization efficiency; in the initial heating mode, the temperature change parameters are obtained by the water temperature sensor to accurately control the heating process; when the temperature change parameter reaches the target value, it switches to the low-power target heating mode, ensuring that the water temperature is suitable while saving energy and reducing consumption, and reducing damage to drinking water equipment due to continuous high-temperature heating, thereby extending the service life of the drinking water equipment; stopping heating in time when the conditions for stopping heating are met can avoid energy waste and prevent safety hazards caused by excessive heating. Overall, drinking water equipment in different regions can operate more intelligently, efficiently and safely, greatly improving the user experience.

[0055] Since the air pressure sensor will be directly affected by the external environment and thus cannot work properly, relevant measures should be taken to ensure that the drinking water equipment can work properly when the air pressure sensor is in an abnormal state. Figure 3 , Figure 3 Schematic diagram of a heating control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps S201-S207.

[0056] S201, obtaining air pressure data of the area where the drinking water device is located based on an air pressure sensor, and determining a target temperature value for mode switching of the drinking water device based on the air pressure data.

[0057] Specifically, the specific execution process of S201 please refer to the above S101, which will not be repeated here.

[0058] S202, obtaining standard parameters of the liquid under standard atmospheric pressure, wherein the standard parameters include the standard boiling point temperature and standard heat of vaporization of the liquid under standard atmospheric pressure.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the standard parameters include the standard boiling point temperature and standard heat of vaporization of the liquid under the standard atmospheric pressure, wherein the standard atmospheric pressure is a relatively fixed pressure value, under which the liquid has clear and relatively fixed characteristic parameters, wherein the standard boiling point temperature is 100 degrees for water, i.e., the critical temperature at which water changes from liquid to gas under standard atmospheric pressure. The standard heat of vaporization characterizes the amount of heat required to be absorbed by a unit mass of water to completely transform into water vapor during the state change process, and the standard parameters are established values ​​that have been determined by a large number of scientific experiments and are widely recognized. In actual scenarios, the standard parameters are pre-stored in the relevant storage unit or control program of the drinking water equipment to facilitate subsequent calls.

[0060] S203, determining the regional boiling point temperature of the area where the drinking water equipment is located based on the standard parameters and the air pressure data.

[0061] Specifically, pre-stored standard parameters are called in the relevant storage unit or control program of the drinking water equipment, and the regional boiling point temperature of the area where the drinking water equipment is located is determined by the air pressure data of the area where the drinking water equipment is located actually measured by the air pressure sensor and a pre-set calculation method. For example, according to the Clausius-Clapeyron Equation (CCE), that is, the quantitative relationship between pressure and boiling point temperature under the gas-liquid equilibrium state, the boiling point temperature under standard atmospheric pressure, the heat of vaporization and the actually measured local air pressure data are substituted into the corresponding deformation formula, and the regional boiling point temperature of the area where the drinking water equipment is located can be calculated.

[0062] S204, lowering the regional boiling point temperature to a preset temperature value to obtain a target temperature value.

[0063] In the embodiments of the present application, due to the influence of the heating power, the liquid inside the water storage component may suddenly boil violently or the temperature may temporarily exceed the appropriate range, which may cause problems such as scalding the user and rapid accumulation of scale in the equipment. By lowering the temperature to the preset value, such as lowering it by a few degrees, when the water temperature of the drinking water equipment reaches the target temperature value during the heating process, the corresponding heating mode switching or control operation can be performed, and the water temperature can be regulated in advance to avoid the occurrence of the above-mentioned adverse conditions, so that the water temperature can be more steadily maintained in a suitable range for drinking. The preset temperature value is obtained by the tester of the drinking water equipment based on actual scene tests and is not specifically limited here.

[0064] Exemplarily, the preset temperature value is set to -5 degrees. When the regional boiling point temperature is determined to be 103 degrees based on the above S204, -5 degrees is subtracted from 103 degrees to obtain 98 degrees, and 98 degrees is determined as the target temperature value.

[0065] S205: If the working state of the air pressure sensor is a failure state, a data acquisition request is sent to a smart device connected to the drinking water device to obtain air pressure data of the area.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, in the normal operation mechanism of the drinking water device, the air pressure sensor is originally used to obtain the air pressure data of the area, and then the corresponding target temperature value is determined based on this. However, when the working state of the air pressure sensor is in a failure state, other backup measures need to be taken to ensure the normal operation of the device.

[0067] Specifically, the air pressure sensor will reacquire the air pressure data of the area where the drinking water device is located based on the preset interval time to ensure the accuracy of the boiling point temperature. If the detection data of the air pressure sensor cannot be obtained after a certain interval time, a data acquisition request is initiated to the air pressure sensor. If the air pressure sensor fails to respond to the data acquisition request, it is considered that the working state of the air pressure sensor is a failure state. At this time, the drinking water device will send a data acquisition request to the smart device connected to it, wherein the smart device can be a smart phone, smart speaker or other smart home central control device that is in the same local area network as the drinking water device and has positioning and air pressure data acquisition functions. It can use its own positioning module to determine the location information of the area, and then obtain the corresponding air pressure data of the area through the network, and then feed the air pressure data back to the drinking water device. After the drinking water device receives the air pressure data fed back from the smart device, it can determine the regional boiling point temperature of the area according to the execution process of S101 above, and further obtain the target temperature value.

[0068] Please also read Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a scene schematic diagram of a heating control method provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure: the working state of the air pressure sensor is in the failure state. At this time, it is detected that the drinking water device is connected to a mobile device, and the drinking water device is controlled to send a data acquisition request to the mobile device. After receiving the request, the mobile device sends its own air pressure data to the smart device, such as Figure 4 The air pressure value of the current area queried by the mobile device is 56.04 kPa, and 56.04 kPa is returned as response data to the drinking water device. Based on the returned air pressure value 56.04 kPa, the drinking water device executes the execution process of S201-203 as described above to determine the regional boiling point temperature of the area, and further obtain the target temperature value.

[0069] S206: If the air pressure sensor is in a failed state and the drinking water device cannot be connected to any smart device, a default temperature value for the drinking water device to switch modes is obtained from a preset configuration file.

[0070] In S207, determine the default temperature value as the target temperature value.

[0071] Specifically, in S206 - S207, if the pressure sensor is in a failure state and the drinking water device fails to successfully connect to any of the above-mentioned intelligent devices, it means that actual pressure data cannot be obtained from the outside. At this time, the drinking water device will obtain the default temperature value required for the drinking water device to switch modes from the preset configuration file. The preset configuration file is set and stored in its internal storage unit before the drinking water device leaves the factory or during the previous configuration stage. The default temperature value is usually a relatively general and conservative temperature value set by comprehensively considering some common and representative regional environmental conditions. Thus, even in the adverse situation where the pressure sensor fails and data cannot be obtained by interacting with external intelligent devices, the drinking water device can still judge the switching of the heating mode based on this default target temperature value, which can ensure to a certain extent that the device can normally provide hot water for users and avoid the situation where the device cannot work properly due to the lack of key data.

[0072] Exemplarily, when the pressure sensor is in a failure state and the drinking water device fails to successfully connect to any of the above-mentioned intelligent devices, if the default temperature value obtained from the preset configuration file is 70 degrees, then 70 degrees is determined as the target temperature value.

[0073] As can be seen from the above, by determining the regional boiling point temperature through standard parameters and pressure data and adjusting to obtain the target temperature value, the device can accurately control the water temperature according to the local actual pressure, avoid overheating in high-altitude areas or insufficient heating in low-altitude areas, ensure that the drinking water temperature is appropriate and energy-saving. Secondly, when the pressure sensor fails, the design of obtaining data from intelligent devices provides a reliable remedial measure to ensure the normal operation of the device. Finally, when the intelligent device cannot be connected, obtaining the default temperature value from the preset configuration file ensures that the device will not stop working due to sensor failures and the inability to obtain external data, improves the stability and adaptability of the device, and guarantees the user experience.

[0074] To prevent hardware damage caused by the drinking water device remaining in the heating state for a long time. Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a schematic flowchart of a heating control method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 5 shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps S301 - S303.

[0075] In S301, if the temperature change parameter meets the preset heating stop condition, then exit the target heating mode to stop heating the liquid in the water storage component.

[0076] Specifically, please refer to the above S103 for the specific execution process of S301, which will not be repeated here.

[0077] S302: If the temperature change parameter is greater than or equal to the preset boiling point temperature, the drinking water device is controlled to exit the target heating mode to stop heating the liquid in the water storage component.

[0078] Specifically, when the temperature change parameter is greater than or equal to the preset boiling point temperature, the drinking water device is controlled to exit the target heating mode to stop heating the liquid in the water storage component. This operation is mainly to prevent the liquid from being overheated. If the heating continues, a large amount of water may vaporize, causing safety hazards. For example, the steam may scald the user or cause damage to the drinking water device itself. At the same time, overheating may also lead to increased mineral precipitation in the water, affecting the water quality and the service life of the device.

[0079] For example, the boiling point temperature corresponding to the air pressure in the area where the drinking water device is located is calculated to be 90°C (preset boiling point temperature). During the heating process of the drinking water device, the water temperature sensor continuously detects the temperature change of the liquid in the water storage component. When the water temperature reaches 90°C, the temperature change parameter is equal to the preset boiling point temperature, and the control module of the drinking water device immediately responds, causing the drinking water device to exit the target heating mode and stop heating the water.

[0080] S303, when the temperature change parameter is less than the boiling point temperature, if it is detected that the temperature change parameter fails to increase within a preset time period, the temperature change parameter is recorded and the drinking water device is controlled to exit the target heating mode to stop heating the liquid in the water storage component.

[0081] Specifically, when the temperature change parameter is less than the boiling point temperature, if it is detected that the temperature change parameter has not increased within the preset time, the temperature change parameter is recorded and the drinking water equipment is controlled to exit the target heating mode to stop heating the liquid in the water storage component. This is because during the normal heating process, the water temperature should continue to rise. If the water temperature does not rise within the preset time, it may mean that the heating element is faulty, there is a power problem, or other abnormal conditions. Stopping heating at this time can avoid wasting energy in an ineffective heating state.

[0082] For example, the preset time is 2 minutes, and the drinking water device heats water in the target heating mode. Under normal circumstances, the water temperature should continue to rise, but at this time the water temperature sensor detects that the water temperature has remained at 88°C (the temperature change parameter is less than the boiling point temperature) within 2 minutes and has not risen. At this time, the drinking water device will record the temperature change parameter of 88°C and control the drinking water device to exit the target heating mode to stop heating.

[0083] From the above, it can be seen that by exiting the target heating mode and stopping heating in time when the temperature change parameter meets the preset stop heating condition, the adverse effects caused by excessive water temperature or abnormal conditions can be avoided, the wear and tear of equipment components due to long-term high temperature can be reduced, and the service life of the equipment can be extended. When the temperature change parameter is greater than or equal to the preset boiling point temperature, the control to stop heating can accurately control the upper limit of the water temperature to ensure safe use and reasonable energy saving. Exiting the heating mode when the temperature change parameter is less than the boiling point temperature but fails to rise within the preset time can avoid ineffective energy consumption of the equipment on the one hand, and prevent safety hazards such as circuit overheating caused by continuous power-on due to faults on the other hand.

[0084] In order to report the water temperature of the liquid in the water outlet component of the drinking water equipment in real time to meet the user's needs. Figure 6 , Figure 6 Schematic diagram of a heating control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps S401-S402.

[0085] S401: If the temperature change parameter satisfies the preset heating stop condition, the target heating mode is exited to stop heating the liquid in the water storage component.

[0086] Specifically, please refer to the above S104 for the specific execution process of S401, which will not be repeated here.

[0087] S402, detecting the temperature of the liquid based on a preset interval time, if the temperature drop value of the liquid is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, controlling the drinking water device to heat the liquid in a target heating mode.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, during the actual use of the drinking water device, even if the liquid reaches a suitable temperature after preliminary heating, the temperature of the liquid will drop over time due to factors such as natural heat loss. By detecting the temperature of the liquid based on a preset interval, the water temperature change can be regularly and timely grasped and heating control can be performed.

[0089] Exemplarily, the preset interval of the drinking water device is 10 minutes, that is, every 10 minutes, the water temperature sensor in the drinking water device will detect the water (liquid) temperature in the water storage component. At the same time, the preset threshold value of the temperature drop value is set to 5 degrees. After heating, the water temperature reaches the preset boiling point temperature of 90 degrees, and then the device enters the target heating mode to maintain the water temperature. As time goes by, during a certain detection (10 minutes after the last detection), the water temperature sensor finds that the current water temperature is 83 degrees, which means that compared with the water temperature at the last detection, the temperature drop of the liquid has reached 7 degrees. At this time, the drinking water device is controlled to heat the water again in the target heating mode. The heating power will be relatively small but sufficient to slowly raise the water temperature so that the water temperature can return to 90 degrees.

[0090] From the above, we can see that this mechanism of detecting temperature changes based on a preset interval and deciding whether to heat the water based on the comparison between the temperature drop value and the preset threshold allows the drinking water equipment to automatically detect water temperature changes caused by environmental factors and make corresponding heating adjustments, thereby eliminating the need for frequent manual intervention and improving the user experience.
