The schematic embodiments of the present application and their descriptions are used to explain the present application, and do not constitute an improper limitation to the present application. In the drawings:

[0036] Figure 2 It is a schematic flowchart of the water outlet control method in the embodiment of the present application. Detailed Embodiments
[0037] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0038] The following will describe in detail the technical solutions provided by each embodiment of the present application with reference to the drawings.
[0039] As Figure 1 shown, it is a schematic diagram of the component structure in the embodiment of the present application, specifically including water inlet and water outlet 1, water outlet 2..., and the water outlet device mainly depends on the user and the ambient temperature to determine the control of the inlet water to obtain the water outlet. The water outlet device includes, but is not limited to, an instant hot faucet, a shower head, etc., and does not have a water tank and is not connected to an external hot water source.
[0040] An embodiment of the present application provides a water outlet control method. As Figure 1 shown, a schematic flow diagram of the water outlet control method in the embodiment of the present application is provided. The method at least includes the following steps S210 to step S220:
[0041] Step S210, identify at least one user.
[0042] The water outlet control method is mainly applied to a water outlet device, and the water outlet device can identify users. Of course, the water outlet device can identify multiple users or one user, and specific limitations are not made in the embodiments of the present application.
[0043] In the default state, the water outlet device is in a state where the water flow is closed, and it will be controlled to open when a control operation is received. It can be understood that the control operation of the water flow can be a manual switch by the user or a user induction switch.
[0044] The water outlet device can identify users, and at the same time, it is also necessary to determine the current ambient temperature when receiving the control operation of the water flow. The user's needs may change according to the current ambient temperature or may be adaptively adjusted according to the user's usage needs.
[0045] It can be understood that when there are multiple water outlet devices, it can be applicable to the situation where multiple users use the water outlet simultaneously. When there is only one water outlet device, multiple users use it in sequence.
[0046] Step S220, if it is determined that the at least one user meets the water outlet control condition, then control the water outlet according to the at least one user, where the at least one user has a corresponding water outlet control mode in different water usage scenarios.
[0047] Determining whether at least one user can meet the water outlet control condition includes: whether the identity information is satisfied.
[0048] Determine the most suitable water outlet temperature, water outlet flow rate, etc. according to the current ambient temperature and the user, so as to control the water outlet device to discharge water.
[0049] Through the above method, at least one user is identified; if it is determined that the at least one user meets the water outlet control condition, then control the water outlet according to the at least one user. By identifying at least one of the users, the water outlet device is controlled to discharge water, and the user does not need to frequently manually adjust the water outlet temperature and water outlet flow rate, which is convenient to use.
[0050] Through the above method, the at least one user has a corresponding controlled water outlet mode in different water usage scenarios, and can provide an adapted water outlet temperature and water flow for the user according to the change of the ambient temperature, or can also provide an adapted water outlet temperature and water flow according to the user's usage habits.
[0051] Different from the related art, different users have different water usage preferences, and users need to frequently perform manual adjustments during use, resulting in a poor user experience. Through the above method, users can use it "without feeling", and conveniently make the water outlet device discharge water according to the user's habits.
[0052] Different from the related art, most of them adopt the method of manually controlling the water outlet of the water outlet device by the user. Through the above method, while simplifying the process of manually controlling the water outlet of the water outlet device, the water outlet control method is optimized, and the user experience is improved.
[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, if it is determined that the at least one user meets the water outlet control condition, then controlling the water outlet according to the at least one user includes: determining the corresponding controlled water outlet mode of the at least one user in different water usage scenarios based on the current ambient temperature information; determining whether the user's identity information meets the water outlet control condition; if it is determined that the user's identity information meets the water outlet control condition, then associating the user identity information with the current ambient temperature information; if it is determined that the user's identity information does not meet the water outlet control condition, then not controlling the water outlet according to the at least one user..
[0054] Using the current ambient temperature information as the basis for determining the corresponding controlled water outlet mode of the at least one user in different water usage scenarios.
[0055] Further, when making a determination, it is determined whether the user's identity information meets the water outlet control condition: if the identity information has been pre-collected and entered, it is considered to meet the water outlet control condition. The following are two possible situations:
[0056] Situation 1: If it is determined that the user's identity information meets the water outlet control condition, then associate the user identity information with the current ambient temperature information. The purpose of establishing the association is to obtain the water outlet control mode through the user identity information + the current ambient temperature information.
[0057] Situation 2: If it is determined that the user's identity information does not meet the water outlet control condition, then do not control the water outlet according to the at least one user. If the identity information meets the identity verification condition or the identity information has not been pre-collected and entered, then the water outlet will not be controlled according to the at least one user, that is, the water outlet device has no response
[0058] It can be understood that the user identity information includes but is not limited to information based on the user's biometric characteristics or information obtained by the user pressing a touch button / screen.
[0059] Further, the water outlet device will also obtain the current ambient temperature information based on the temperature monitoring result. The need for the current ambient temperature information usually refers to the outdoor temperature / air temperature. Of course, since the water outlet device is usually installed indoors, the current ambient temperature information may refer to the indoor temperature, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0060] In addition, it is also necessary to perform an associated matching between the user identity information and the current ambient temperature information. The process of associated matching needs to obtain the corresponding user identity information at different ambient temperatures through the user's historical usage data. For example, [ambient temperature 15°C, corresponding user identity information 1, user-preferred water outlet 1], [ambient temperature 20°C, corresponding user identity information 1, user-preferred water outlet 2], [ambient temperature 30°C, corresponding user identity information 1, user-preferred water outlet 3]. Another example is [ambient temperature 15°C, corresponding user identity information 1, user-preferred water outlet 1], [ambient temperature 15°C, corresponding user identity information 2, user-preferred water outlet 2], [ambient temperature 15°C, corresponding user identity information 3, user-preferred water outlet 3].
[0061] Preferably, the user-preferred water outlet includes, but is not limited to, the user-preferred water flow rate, the user-preferred water temperature, and the user-preferred water outlet mode.
[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, the controlling the water outlet according to the at least one user includes:
[0063] Responding to the result of the association between the user identity information and the current ambient temperature information, and discharging water according to the user's usage habit, where the user's usage habit at least includes one of the following: the flow rate of the water flow, the temperature of the water flow.
[0064] In order to obtain the result of discharging water according to the user's usage habit, when the user identity information is associated and matched with the current ambient temperature information, control the water outlet device to discharge water according to the user's usage habit.
[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, it also includes discharging water in the following manner: discharging water upward according to the habit when using the mouth; or, discharging water upward according to the habit when using the head; or, discharging water downward according to the habit when using the hand; or, discharging water downward according to the habit when taking a bath.
[0066] In order to more finely distinguish the user's usage habit, the user's water outlet habit is further divided into discharging water upward according to the habit when using the mouth, such as rinsing the mouth with upward discharged water.
[0067] Discharging water upward according to the habit when using the head, such as washing the hair with upward discharged water.
[0068] The water comes out downward according to the habit of hand use. For example, wash hands, wash dishes, wash vegetables, etc. with the water coming out downward
[0069] The above method controls the water outlet device to discharge water based on the user's usage habits. The identification of the user's identity information and the user's preferred water outlet habits need to be obtained through pre-configuration or multiple accumulations. The specific process includes:
[0070] Step S1, first store the user identity information, which can be marked as User 1, User 2, User 3...
[0071] It should be noted that it is also possible not to preset. When the user approaches the water outlet device, collect the current user identity information and mark it as User 1, User 2, User 3. Or multiple buttons can be set on the water outlet device, Button 1 represents User 1, Button 2 represents User 2, Button 3 represents User 3...
[0072] Step S2, the user approaches the water outlet device to identify the user identity information
[0073] It should be noted that when identifying the user identity information, it includes but is not limited to biometric identification or the user pressing the screen / button
[0074] It can be understood that biometric identification includes fingerprint information, face information, or sound wave information, etc., and is selected according to the usage scenario of the water outlet device
[0075] Step S3, when the user manually turns on the water flow for the first time to wash, the temperature sensor and flow sensor in the water outlet device can respectively record the water temperature and water flow rate when the usage is stable, and also record the current ambient temperature, and match it to the current user. Among them, the water temperature is marked as W 11 The water flow rate is marked as L 11 The ambient temperature is marked as H 11 . It can be understood that stable usage means that the user does not manually adjust the water temperature and water flow rate within 2 - 5 seconds. When the current user turns on the water flow for the second time to wash, the water temperature is marked as W 12 The water flow rate is marked as L 12 The ambient temperature is marked as H 12 ; and so on. When using for the fifth time, the water temperature is marked as W 15 The water flow rate is marked as L 15 . (To ensure accurate results, at least 5 groups of data or more should be marked).
[0076] Preferably, the above water temperature mark, water flow mark, and ambient temperature mark can also correspond to various water outlet modes respectively. The various water outlet modes include, but are not limited to, washing modes such as washing hair, washing face, or washing hands. Of course, the various water outlet modes can also include other modes other than the non-washing scenarios, which are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0077] Step S4, take the average value of H 11 -H 15 and mark it as the conventional use ambient temperature H1 of User 1 in a certain water outlet mode.
[0078] Take the average value of W according to the above step S3 11 -W 15 and mark it as the optimal use water temperature W1 of User 1 in a certain water outlet mode.
[0079] Take the average value of L according to the above step S3 11 -L 15 and mark it as the optimal use water flow rate L1 of User 1 in a certain water outlet mode.
[0080] If the marked data / number of times does not meet the requirement of 5 groups of data, the average value can be statistically calculated according to the actual marked number of groups.
[0081] Further, when User 1 approaches the water outlet device, identify the current User 1. If User 1 triggers the flowing water in an induction manner, the water outlet device identifies the current water outlet mode and ambient temperature D1. When the value of the current environment D1 is within the range of H1 ± 2 degrees, the current water outlet mode discharges water at the water temperature W1 and water flow rate L1.
[0082] Similarly, if the current ambient temperature D1 is lower than 10 degrees, the outlet water temperature is W1 + 5 degrees;
[0083] Similarly, if the current ambient temperature D1 is higher than 30 degrees, the outlet water temperature is W1 - 5 degrees.
[0084] That is to say, a default outlet water temperature is set for the current ambient temperature.
[0085] In an embodiment of the present application, the controlling the water outlet according to the user based on the current ambient temperature further includes: setting the temperature of the default outlet water based on the current ambient temperature.
[0086] In addition to being able to identify the user's identity information, the water outlet device can also set a corresponding default outlet water temperature based on the current ambient temperature. For example, when the current ambient temperature is 23 degrees Celsius, the corresponding default outlet water temperature is 30 degrees Celsius.
[0087] In one embodiment of the present application, for the user's habitual water outlet preference and if it is determined that at least one user meets the water outlet control condition, then controlling the water outlet according to the at least one user may further include the following process: adjusting the water outlet heating power value according to the temperature of the default water outlet of the user.
[0088] When the manual switch is started, the appropriate default water outlet temperature is automatically adjusted according to the flow rate opened by the user and the ambient temperature; if the user does not like this temperature or is not used to this temperature, the user can adjust the temperature by himself. That is to say, the user adjusts the power through the manual switch.
[0089] According to the water outlet usage frequency, set the corresponding default water outlet temperature according to the current ambient temperature. That is to say, the water outlet device sets the default water outlet temperature as T in real time according to the current ambient temperature H out . The specific process includes:
[0090] Step S11, the ambient temperature sensor in the water outlet device can be arranged at an outdoor location such as a balcony, or the ambient temperature sensor can be arranged at an indoor location such as a kitchen or a bathroom, and is connected to the faucet main controller through a wireless communication method.
[0091] For example, during the peak water usage period from 6:00 to 22:00, the ambient temperature H is sent to the water outlet device once every hour, and during the low peak water usage period from 23:00 to 5:00, the ambient temperature H is sent to the water outlet device once every 3 hours. It can be understood that the reporting period can be flexibly set according to the actual usage scenario and is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0092] Step S12, set the default water outlet temperature based on the ambient temperature.
[0093] If the ambient temperature H is less than 10°C, then the default water outlet temperature T out is 38°C;
[0094] If the ambient temperature H is between 10°C and 15°C, then the default water outlet temperature T out is 35°C;
[0095] If the ambient temperature H is between 15°C and 25°C, then the default water outlet temperature T out is 30°C;
[0096] If the ambient temperature H is between 25°C and 30°C, then the default water outlet temperature T out is 25°C;
[0097] If the ambient temperature H is greater than 30°C, then the default water outlet temperature T out is 20°C.
[0098] In addition, if the current inlet water temperature T inT corresponding to a temperature higher than the ambient temperature out , then the heating module in the instant hot water faucet does not start working, and the corresponding usage scenario may be when the water inlet temperature of the municipal pipeline is high in summer.
[0099] Step S13, when the ambient temperature sensor in the water outlet device fails, remind the user to check the ambient temperature sensor, and set the outlet water temperature T out to 35°C. The comfortable washing temperature for the human body is 30°C - 38°C, which can effectively clean without irritating the skin, so it is defaulted to 35°C.
[0100] The water outlet device is also internally provided with a temperature sensor and a flow sensor. When the user turns on the faucet or adjusts the flow rate, the water outlet device automatically adjusts the instant hot water faucet according to the current inlet water temperature T in and the water flow rate q to the heating power P of the water when it comes out at the water temperature T out .
[0101] For the heating power P = q * p * Cp * (T out - T in ),
[0102] where P is the heating power (W),
[0103] q is the water flow rate (m 3 / s),
[0104] p is the density of water (~1000 kg / m 3 ),
[0105] Cp is the specific heat capacity of water (~4186 J / (kg·°C)),
[0106] T in is the inlet water temperature (°C),
[0107] T out is the target water temperature (35°C).
[0108] Optionally, when it is detected that the water flow rate q is 0, the water outlet device controls the power supply to cut off to prevent dry burning during heating.
[0109] In an embodiment of the present application, the control operation in response to the water flow to identify that the user simultaneously determines the current ambient temperature includes: in the case of receiving the opening control operation of the water flow through non-contact and / or contact methods, identifying the unique identification ID information of the user and determining the current ambient temperature; in the case of receiving the temperature control operation of the water flow, identifying the temperature adjustment range of the user.
[0110] The non-contact method can be an inductive switch, and the contact method can be a touch button / screen, or a physical switch.
[0111] The user's unique identification ID information includes, but is not limited to, biometric ID, user-defined ID, etc.
[0112] The temperature control operation of the water flow can be considered as a control operation for increasing or decreasing the water outlet temperature. By determining the temperature adjustment range through temperature increase or decrease, it can meet the user's requirement of adjusting the temperature up or down based on their own preference on the basis of the target water temperature T of the water outlet. out of the water outlet temperature.
[0113] In an embodiment of the present application, based on the current ambient temperature, before or after the water outlet device discharges water, the temperature of the water discharged by the water outlet device is controlled according to the user's temperature adjustment range, and the temperature of the water discharged by the water outlet device is determined according to the default water discharge temperature and the user's unique identification ID information.
[0114] Usually, the water outlet temperature is adjusted by itself when preparing to use, or when the water temperature feels inappropriate after using water, the temperature of the water discharged by the water outlet device is controlled according to the user's temperature adjustment range.
[0115] Based on the default water discharge temperature as a reference and combined with the user's unique identification ID information, the corresponding water discharge mode, water discharge power, and water discharge flow are selected to obtain the water outlet temperature required by the user.

[0117] Identifying at least one user;
[0118] If it is determined that the at least one user meets the water outlet control condition, the water outlet is controlled according to the at least one user, where the at least one user has a corresponding water outlet control mode in different water use scenarios.
[0119] In some embodiments,
[0120] The step of if it is determined that the at least one user meets the water outlet control condition, then controlling the water outlet according to the at least one user includes:
[0121] Determining the corresponding water outlet control mode of the at least one user in different water use scenarios based on the current ambient temperature information; judging whether the user's identity information meets the water outlet control condition;
