[0054] It should be noted that since the hot water and the additional flowing water circuit have relatively low requirements for flow rate, in order to save space and material costs while meeting the functions, the hot water and the additional flowing water circuit can use pipes with relatively small diameters, such as 2 - inch pipes.

The heating and energy - storage unit 21 can be a heat tank, which is a tank with heating and heat - storage functions.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 as shown in Figure 2 a schematic flowchart of a sterilization control method for the water - supply device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, including the following steps:

[0059] S1: Obtain a sterilization control signal, and the sterilization control signal includes current bacteria information in the water - supply device.

[0060] Among them, the sterilization control signal can be an information carrier triggered when the water supply device is in a preset sterilization period. The sterilization control signal includes current bacteria information, which includes but is not limited to the type and quantity of bacteria, and specific limitations are not made here. Different types and quantities of bacteria have different requirements for sterilization conditions. For example, common Escherichia coli can be killed relatively quickly at a certain temperature, while bacteria such as Legionella may require higher temperatures or longer heating treatments. By obtaining the current bacteria information in the water supply device, corresponding sterilization strategies can be formulated according to its characteristics to avoid over-sterilization or under-sterilization.

[0061] In addition, with the passage of time, differences in water quality in different regions, and changes in the usage frequency of the water supply device, the internal bacteria growth situation is dynamically changing. For example, in summer when the temperature is high and the humidity is large, the bacteria reproduction speed may be faster; or when the water consumption of the water supply device suddenly decreases, the water in the water supply device is updated slowly, and the number of bacteria will increase. Obtaining real-time bacteria information enables its sterilization control method to be applicable to the complex usage scenarios of the water supply device and ensures that the sterilization effect is always reliable.

[0062] S2: Respond to the sterilization control signal and obtain the first energy data and energy generation power data of the water supply device.

[0063] Specifically, when the sterilization control signal is received, it indicates that the water in the water supply device needs to be sterilized. Therefore, in response to the sterilization control signal, the first energy data and energy generation power data of the heating module are obtained to facilitate subsequent accurate determination of sterilization parameters, planning of sterilization strategies, and reasonable control of energy consumption. Among them, the first energy data reflects the initial energy state stored by the heating module when the sterilization control signal is received. For an electric water supply device, it can be the electric energy value already stored in the current heating module, such as measured in degrees of electricity. Among them, the energy generation power data includes the heating power of the heating and heat storage tank and the heating power of the thick film, which specifically reflects the manufacturing energy, output energy efficiency, and capacity of the heating module. For example, for an electric water supply device, it is the rated power of its heating element, usually measured in watts, indicating the ability to convert electric energy into heat energy per unit time. For example, common electric water supply device heating powers have different specifications such as 1500W and 2000W.

[0064] It can be seen that by accurately obtaining the first energy data and energy generation power data of the heating module, it is convenient to subsequently scientifically and reasonably control the sterilization operation of the water supply device based on factors such as the bacteria situation and energy consumption requirements.

[0065] S3: Determine the sterilization parameter information according to the first energy data, the energy generation power data, and the current bacteria information.

[0066] The prediction of the number of bacteria can be carried out according to the waterway environment information and the current bacteria information, and the corresponding number prediction curve can be obtained. Then, according to the energy consumption price information table, the number prediction curve, the first energy data, and the energy generation power data, the sterilization parameter information can be determined.

[0067] Specifically, the steps for determining the sterilization parameter information according to the first energy data, the energy generation power data, and the current bacteria information include:

[0068] Obtain the waterway environment information of the water supply device; perform bacteria number prediction processing according to the waterway environment information and the current bacteria information to obtain a bacteria number prediction curve; obtain an energy consumption price information table; determine the optimal sterilization time period information according to the energy consumption price information table, the bacteria number prediction curve, the first energy data, and the energy generation power data; and determine the optimal sterilization time period information as the sterilization parameter information.

[0069] Specifically, the waterway environment information includes, but is not limited to, the water flow rate and the pipeline material. The waterway environment information of the water supply device can be obtained by installing sensors at key parts of the waterway of the water supply device. For example, a flow velocity sensor can be used to detect the water flow rate at different pipeline positions, and a material identification sensor can be used to determine the pipeline material. Specific limitations are not provided here. It can be understood that the information on the pipeline material can also be stored in advance in a preset storage space. It should be noted that the material of the waterway pipeline affects the ease of bacteria attachment. Stainless steel materials are relatively smooth, and the bacteria attachment may be relatively less, while some plastic materials may be more conducive to bacteria attachment; stagnant water is likely to form in areas with slow water flow, creating conditions for the large reproduction of bacteria, while it is more difficult for bacteria to accumulate in areas with rapid water flow.

[0070] Next, analyze the current bacteria information to determine the growth law of bacteria in the water supply device, and then determine the growth environment of bacteria according to the waterway environment information. By combining the growth law and growth environment of bacteria, the number of bacteria is predicted to obtain a bacteria number prediction curve. Among them, the water flow rate, the pipeline material characteristics, the bacteria type, and the current bacteria number can be used as independent variables, and the predicted bacteria number can be used as the dependent variable. Through multiple regression analysis, the quantitative relationship between each variable and the bacteria number is determined, and then the bacteria number at different time points is calculated. Taking time as the horizontal axis and the predicted bacteria number as the vertical axis, the predicted bacteria number values corresponding to each time point are connected to obtain a bacteria number prediction curve.

[0071] Then, obtain the energy consumption price information table, and determine the optimal sterilization time period information based on the energy consumption price information table, the bacterial quantity prediction curve, the first energy data, and the energy generation power data. Then, determine the sterilization parameter information as the optimal sterilization time period information. Among them, the energy consumption price information table includes electricity price information for different time periods, such as peak-hour electricity price, normal-hour electricity price, and valley-hour electricity price. The peak-hour electricity price generally occurs during the peak electricity consumption period and is relatively high, aiming to guide users to avoid peak electricity consumption and relieve the energy consumption pressure; the normal-hour electricity price is applicable to the normal electricity consumption period; the valley-hour electricity price is during the low electricity consumption period and is the most preferential.

[0072] It can be seen that by obtaining the waterway environment information of the water supply device and combining the current bacterial information to perform bacterial quantity prediction processing to obtain a prediction curve, the change trend of the bacterial quantity can be determined. Then, comprehensively considering the energy consumption price information table, the first energy data, and the energy generation power data to determine the optimal sterilization time period information, so that the sterilization operation can be accurately carried out during the time period when the bacterial quantity is relatively large and the energy consumption cost is relatively low. It avoids the situation of the traditional water supply device sterilizing blindly without considering time periods, realizes the accurate control of the sterilization timing, while ensuring the sterilization effect, minimizes unnecessary energy consumption to the greatest extent, and achieves the dual goals of energy conservation and effective sterilization.

[0073] Among them, the specific steps of determining the optimal sterilization time period information according to the energy consumption price information table, the bacterial quantity prediction curve, the first energy data, and the energy generation power data include:

[0074] According to the bacterial quantity prediction curve, determine the sterilization energy consumption demand curve; according to the first energy data, the energy generation power data, and the sterilization energy consumption demand curve, determine the actual energy consumption curve; according to the actual energy consumption curve and the energy consumption price information table, determine the optimal sterilization time period information.

[0075] Specifically, the bacterial quantity prediction curve intuitively shows the changing trend of the bacterial quantity in the water supply device over a period of time in the future. Different bacterial quantity situations correspond to different disinfection difficulties and required disinfection intensities, which in turn affect the energy consumption demand for disinfection. Among them, the more bacteria there are, the higher the temperature, the longer the heating time, or the stronger the disinfection means are required to achieve an ideal disinfection effect, resulting in an increase in energy consumption. Therefore, the corresponding consumed electric energy or gas volume can be determined according to the bacterial quantity in the bacterial quantity prediction curve, and then the energy consumption demand curve for disinfection can be determined. Among them, the first energy data reflects the existing energy reserve situation or the initial energy-related parameters of the heating module of the current water supply device, and the energy generation power data reflects the efficiency and capacity of the heating module to generate and output energy. By combining the energy consumption demand curve for disinfection, considering the energy consumption demand required for disinfection at different times, and using the energy generation power data to calculate the heating time and heating power of the heating module, while considering the initial energy status represented by the first energy data. For example, if the initial energy reserve is high, the energy generation power can be appropriately reduced or the energy generation time can be shortened when the energy consumption demand for disinfection is met. Then, the actual energy consumption value consumed at each time point is calculated point by point, so as to draw the actual energy consumption curve, with time as the horizontal axis and the actual energy consumption value as the vertical axis.

[0076] Finally, according to the time accuracy of the actual energy consumption curve and the energy consumption price information table, a day or a cycle can be divided into several time intervals, for example, divided by the hour. For each time interval, by combining the energy consumption data in the actual energy consumption curve and the price data in the energy consumption price information table, calculate the energy cost of performing the disinfection operation during this period. The calculation formula is: cost = actual energy consumption × energy price. Then, traverse all time intervals, exclude the time periods with too high energy consumption or too high energy prices, and leave the time periods with relatively low energy consumption and reasonable prices as candidate optimal time periods. Evaluate the candidate optimal time periods. If there is a time period with the lowest energy consumption and the lowest energy price, then determine this time period as the optimal disinfection time period, and record its start and end times and other information. If there are multiple time periods with relatively low energy consumption and relatively low energy prices, it can be flexibly selected according to the actual situation, such as determining the optimal disinfection time periods on different dates according to a certain rotation rule, or determining it in combination with the user's personalized settings, so as to obtain the optimal disinfection time period information.

[0077] It can be seen that by determining the sterilization energy consumption demand curve based on the bacterial quantity prediction curve, the corresponding sterilization energy consumption can be accurately matched according to the dynamic change of the bacterial quantity, avoiding over-sterilization or under-sterilization. While ensuring the effective killing of bacteria and guaranteeing the hygienic safety of hot water, it realizes the rational utilization of energy and improves the energy efficiency of the sterilization process. Further determining the actual energy consumption curve by combining the first energy data and the energy generation power data fully considers the current energy reserve and energy generation capacity of the water supply device, making the prediction of the actual energy consumption in the sterilization process more in line with the actual situation, helping to better plan and control energy consumption and reduce unnecessary energy waste. Determining the optimal sterilization time period information according to the actual energy consumption curve and the energy consumption price information table can significantly reduce the energy consumption cost in the sterilization process.

[0078] Among them, the specific steps of determining the sterilization energy consumption demand curve according to the bacterial quantity prediction curve include:

[0079] Segment the bacterial quantity prediction curve by time period to obtain k sub-bacterial quantity prediction curves; obtain the average bacterial quantities corresponding to the k sub-bacterial quantity prediction curves respectively to get k average bacterial quantity values; determine the energy consumption demand information within the k time periods according to the k average bacterial quantity values; construct a curve according to the energy consumption demand information within the k time periods to obtain the sterilization energy consumption demand curve.

[0080] Specifically, the bacterial quantity prediction curve can be segmented by time period to obtain k sub-bacterial quantity prediction curves. For example, the preset time interval can be segmented. The 24 hours of a day are evenly divided into k time periods, and each time period corresponds to a certain preset duration. That is, when setting every 3 hours as a time period, k is 8. Then, for each sub-bacterial quantity prediction curve, calculate its corresponding average bacterial quantity, so as to obtain k average bacterial quantity values. Among them, by the arithmetic mean method, the bacterial quantity values corresponding to each time node within the time period covered by each sub-bacterial quantity prediction curve are added up, and then divided by the number of time nodes to obtain an average bacterial quantity value, which represents the approximate average level of the bacterial quantity within this time period. For example, if a sub-bacterial quantity prediction curve covers 3 hours and there is a bacterial quantity record value every half hour, then this sub-bacterial quantity prediction curve corresponds to 7 bacterial quantity record values. Adding these 7 bacterial quantity record values and dividing by 7 will obtain the average bacterial quantity value of this time period.

[0081] Next, according to the mapping relationship between the preset average bacterial quantity value and the energy consumption demand, determine the energy consumption demand information during k time periods corresponding to the k average bacterial quantity values. Among them, the larger the average bacterial quantity value, the more serious the bacterial growth. In order to achieve an ideal sterilization effect, it is necessary to increase the heating temperature, extend the heating time, or increase the sterilization frequency, etc., which will lead to an increase in energy consumption. Finally, establish a plane rectangular coordinate system, set the horizontal axis as time, mark the corresponding time ranges on the horizontal axis in sequence according to the order of the k time periods, and then set the vertical axis as the energy consumption demand value, and its unit is determined according to the energy type involved in the energy consumption demand information, such as the degree of electricity or the cubic meter of gas. Then, map the energy consumption demand values in the energy consumption demand information corresponding to each time period to the corresponding scale positions on the vertical axis, and k discrete data points can be obtained. Then, according to the distribution characteristics of the k discrete data points, select the corresponding curve fitting method for fitting, such as linear fitting or polynomial fitting, to obtain the sterilization energy consumption demand curve.

[0082] It can be seen that by segmenting the bacterial quantity prediction curve by time period to analyze the change characteristics of the bacterial quantity in different time periods, then obtaining the average bacterial quantity value corresponding to each time period, and determining the corresponding energy consumption demand information, finally constructing the sterilization energy consumption demand curve, which is convenient to determine the corresponding sterilization strategy according to the sterilization energy consumption demand curve, avoid excessive energy consumption, and make the sterilization operation achieve the optimal resource allocation and effect balance in different time periods.

[0083] Among them, the specific steps of determining the actual energy consumption curve according to the first energy data, the energy generation power data, and the sterilization energy consumption demand curve include:

[0084] Determine the intermediate energy consumption curve according to the sterilization energy consumption demand curve and the first energy data; perform actual energy consumption conversion on the intermediate energy consumption curve according to the energy generation power data to obtain the actual energy consumption curve.

[0085] Specifically, the sterilization energy consumption demand curve can intuitively show the ideal sterilization energy consumption corresponding to factors such as the number of bacteria at different times. Its vertical axis represents the energy consumption demand value required for each time period, and the horizontal axis is time. The first energy data reflects the energy-related parameters initially possessed by the heating module of the water supply device, such as the initial electrical energy reserve or the energy reserve in other forms. In each time period, subtract the initial energy represented by the first energy data from the energy consumption demand value corresponding to the sterilization energy consumption demand curve to obtain multiple first differences. The first difference is the intermediate energy consumption value that needs to be additionally supplemented. Taking the first difference as the vertical axis and time as the horizontal axis, multiple coordinate points are obtained, and connecting these multiple coordinate points can draw the intermediate energy consumption curve. It should be noted that by obtaining the intermediate energy consumption curve, based on the initial energy reserve of the water supply device, the sterilization energy consumption demand can be further adjusted, which is closer to the situation where energy needs to be supplemented from the outside to meet the sterilization demand in actual operation, providing a transitional and more practical energy consumption reference basis for further considering the energy generation power of the heating module and accurately calculating the actual energy consumption.

[0086] Next, for the intermediate energy consumption value corresponding to each time period on the intermediate energy consumption curve, by dividing the intermediate energy consumption value by the corresponding energy generation power, the continuous operation time required to meet this energy consumption demand at this energy generation power can be obtained. Then, based on factors such as the continuous operation time and the energy generation power, the actual energy consumption value of this time period during actual operation is comprehensively calculated. Among them, the energy loss and power fluctuation in actual operation can be considered and appropriately corrected and improved. Taking time as the horizontal axis and the actual energy consumption value as the vertical axis, the actual energy consumption curve is drawn. The actual energy consumption curve accurately reflects the actual energy consumption situation of each time period during the entire sterilization process under actual conditions such as considering the initial energy reserve and the energy generation power characteristics of the heating module.

[0087] It can be seen that by obtaining the actual energy consumption curve, it is convenient to accurately know the energy consumption situation in each time period under actual conditions, thereby realizing the refined control of the energy consumption during the sterilization process. It avoids the problems of overestimating or underestimating energy that may occur when operating solely based on the ideal sterilization energy consumption demand curve, ensures that the energy input is just right, not only meets the sterilization effect requirements but also minimizes unnecessary energy waste to the greatest extent, improves the energy utilization efficiency, and achieves the purpose of energy conservation and efficiency improvement.

[0088] S4: According to the sterilization parameter information, control the water supply device to perform sterilization treatment.

[0089] The sterilization parameter information includes the optimal sterilization period information, so that sterilization treatment can be carried out during the optimal sterilization period. During sterilization, sterilization is carried out by heating, that is, the water temperature can be heated to a preset sterilization temperature (set by empirical values or historical data) for sterilization to reduce energy consumption.

[0090] Specifically, a specific step of controlling the water supply device to perform sterilization treatment according to the sterilization parameter information includes:

[0091] During the sterilization period indicated by the optimal sterilization period information, control the water supply device to heat the water in the heating module to the corresponding sterilization temperature and perform circulating reflux in the water supply device.

[0092] Specifically, analyze the sterilization parameter information to obtain the sterilization temperature setting value corresponding to the current optimal sterilization period and relevant parameters of circulating reflux, such as circulating water flow rate, circulating time, etc. During the sterilization period indicated by the optimal sterilization period information, control the heating module to heat the water so that the water temperature reaches the sterilization temperature setting value, and on the basis of this sterilization temperature setting value, perform circulating reflux in the water supply device to ensure that all water can fully contact the sterilization temperature environment and ensure that bacteria are completely killed. According to the preset circulating time parameter, after reaching the set time, continue to maintain the circulating reflux for a preset period to ensure the reliability of the sterilization effect.

[0093] It can be seen that performing sterilization operation during the optimal sterilization period can save the energy consumption of the water supply device. By heating the water to the corresponding sterilization temperature and performing circulating reflux, the sterilization effect can be improved, and at the same time, unnecessary long-term heating and overheating are avoided, improving the energy utilization efficiency.
