[0054] In order to make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present application more apparent and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0055] With the increasing demand for bathroom comfort and energy efficiency, bathroom heaters, as key heating equipment in bathrooms, have increasingly highlighted the need for intelligent temperature control. However, traditional bathroom heater heating systems mostly use manual control methods and operate in a single heating mode, which has significant technical bottlenecks in dealing with different environmental temperature changes. In particular, in use scenarios with large temperature fluctuations, fixed heating modes not only cannot achieve precise temperature regulation, but also can cause local overheating or insufficient heating and other problems. Such control defects can directly affect the bathing experience of users, cause low energy utilization, and are difficult to meet the dual demands of comfort and energy saving of modern families, and in severe cases, may even cause safety hazards due to temperature loss of control, affecting the service life of the equipment.

[0056] In the prior art in the field, the control of bathroom heaters mainly uses the following two methods:

[0057] Method A: Heating method based on timing control. This method controls heating according to a fixed power output by presetting a heating time period. Although it is simple to implement and has low cost, it cannot be dynamically adjusted according to environmental temperature changes, which can easily lead to energy waste or insufficient heating.

[0058] Method B: On-off control method based on a single temperature threshold. This method detects the ambient temperature and turns off the heating function when the set threshold is reached. Although it achieves temperature regulation to some extent, it lacks consideration of the spatial heat field distribution and cannot guarantee uniform and comfortable heating effect.

[0059] Method A is similar to the present application and both involve temperature control of bathroom heaters, but lack a dynamic response mechanism to changes in environmental temperature. Method B improves the temperature regulation function, but only uses simple on-off control and cannot achieve precise power regulation. Both methods have obvious shortcomings in temperature control accuracy, energy utilization efficiency and user experience, and an innovative solution is needed that can achieve intelligent temperature control while maintaining system stability.

[0060] One of the core ideas of the embodiments of the present application is that, by detecting the temperature and the hot gas volume of the space during the operation of the bathroom heater, when the temperature is greater than or equal to a preset temperature threshold, the target heating parameter is determined according to the hot gas volume, the target heating parameter including a target heating power, and then the bathroom heater is controlled to heat according to the target heating parameter. The embodiments of the present application dynamically adjust the heating parameter of the bathroom heater according to the space temperature and the hot gas volume. The volume of hot gas molecules can reflect the flow and aggregation of hot air. Compared with a single detection of the ambient temperature value around the bathroom heater, the volume of hot gas molecules can more accurately reflect the temperature condition of the entire bathroom, and the precise control of the heating power of the bathroom heater is achieved, thereby improving the use efficiency of the bathroom heater.

[0061] Reference Figure 1 A step flowchart of a control method of a bathroom heater is shown, and the method can specifically include the following steps:

[0062] Step 101, during the operation of the bathroom heater, the temperature and the hot gas volume of the space where the bathroom heater is located are detected.

[0063] The embodiments of the present application can be applied to a smart bathroom heater, which can include a heating module, a sensor and a main control unit. The temperature and the hot gas volume of the space where the bathroom heater is located can be detected by the sensor when the bathroom heater starts to operate.

[0064] In the embodiments of the present application, the temperature refers to the ambient temperature value around the bathroom heater, which can be detected by a temperature sensor or an infrared sensor. The hot gas volume refers to the distribution volume of hot gas molecules in the space, which can be obtained by a hot gas sensor.

[0065] In some examples, the hot gas molecules refer to air molecules heated during the heating process, which can expand and rise due to heating, forming a hot air flow. The essence is still air molecules, but due to the increase in volume caused by the increase in temperature, the hot gas molecules are referred to as hot gas molecules in the embodiments of the present application. At the same time, since the movement direction of the hot gas molecules is upward, the bathroom heater may detect that the ambient temperature is too high, but the actual heating effect does not meet the expectation. Therefore, the volume of hot gas molecules can reflect the flow and aggregation of hot air. Therefore, compared with a single detection of the ambient temperature value around the bathroom heater, the volume of hot gas molecules can more accurately reflect the temperature condition of the entire bathroom, which is helpful to determine whether the bathroom heater needs further heating.

[0066] The embodiments of the present application can solve the problem of the traditional bathroom heater that lacks the monitoring capability of hot gas volume and only relies on a single temperature threshold for control by combining the ambient temperature around the bathroom heater and the volume of the bathroom, so that the monitoring of the bathroom heater on the environmental parameters is more accurate.

[0067] In step 102, after the temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature threshold, the target heating parameter is determined according to the hot gas volume; the target heating parameter includes a target heating power.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, when the temperature detected in step 101 is greater than or equal to the preset temperature threshold, the target heating parameter can be determined according to the hot gas volume at this time, wherein the target heating parameter can include a target heating power.

[0069] In some examples, the target heating parameter can refer to the running configuration that the bath heater needs to perform in the current working state, and the target heating power is a key indicator that directly affects the heating speed and energy consumption level of the bath heater.

[0070] The embodiment of the present application can optimize the energy use efficiency while meeting the temperature demand by dynamically adjusting the target heating power.

[0071] In step 103, the bath heater is controlled to heat according to the target heating parameter.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, the bath heater can be controlled to heat according to the target heating parameter determined in step 102.

[0073] In some examples, when the bath heater heats according to the target heating parameter, the detection of the ambient temperature and the hot gas volume of the bath heater in step 101 can be performed at the same time, and when the preset ambient temperature threshold or hot gas volume threshold is reached, the heating can be stopped.

[0074] By adjusting the running mode of the bath heater in real time and making it work according to the calculated target heating parameter, the embodiment of the present application can more accurately match the actual demand, avoid energy waste or reduced use experience caused by excessive heating or insufficient heating, and more comprehensively evaluate the heating state of the bathroom, so as to develop a more reasonable heating strategy.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, the temperature and the hot gas volume of the space are detected during the working process of the bath heater; when the temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature threshold, the target heating parameter is determined according to the hot gas volume, and the target heating parameter includes a target heating power; then the bath heater is controlled to heat according to the target heating parameter. In the embodiment of the present application, the heating parameter of the bath heater is dynamically adjusted according to the temperature and the hot gas volume of the space, the volume of the hot gas molecules can reflect the flow and aggregation of the hot air, and compared with the single detection of the ambient temperature value around the bath heater, the temperature condition of the whole bathroom can be more accurately reflected, the precise control of the heating power of the bath heater is realized, and the use efficiency of the bath heater is improved.

[0076] Reference Figure 2, a step flow chart of another control method of a bath heater provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown, and the method can specifically include the following steps:

[0077] In step 201, during the operation of the bath heater, the temperature and the hot gas volume of the space where the bath heater is located are detected; the bath heater is internally provided with a temperature sensor and a hot gas sensor;

[0078] The embodiment of the present application can be applied to a smart bath heater, which can include a temperature sensor, a hot gas sensor and a main control unit. After the bath heater is started, the environmental parameters can be collected in real time by the temperature sensor and the hot gas sensor.

[0079] In some examples, step 201 includes the following sub-steps:

[0080] Referring to Figure 3 , a structural diagram of a bath heater according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, and the bath heater specifically includes the following components:

[0081] In sub-step S11, the temperature of the space where the bath heater is located collected by the temperature sensor is obtained.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present application, the temperature sensor can be arranged on the side surface of the bath heater to obtain the temperature around the bath heater. The temperature sensor arranged on the side surface of the bath heater can avoid being directly affected by heat, and if the sensor is installed on the top or directly below, it can be directly affected by the heating element, resulting in distorted readings. Moreover, the side position can avoid the strong heat radiation area of the heating surface, improving the measurement accuracy.

[0083] In sub-step S12, the hot gas volume of the space where the bath heater is located collected by the hot gas sensor is obtained.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, the hot gas sensor can be located directly below the bath heater to obtain the hot gas volume of the space below the bath heater, and the hot gas sensor can accurately capture the dynamic changes of hot gas molecules.

[0085] Hot gas molecules refer to hot air generated after heating, including but not limited to water vapor or humid hot air.

[0086] The hot gas sensor can refer to a water vapor concentration sensor or an infrared gas sensor. Since the hot gas sensor has different absorption peaks for water vapor and CO2 and other gases, for example, CO2 has strong absorption at 4.3 μm, while water vapor has absorption at 2.6 μm and 6.3 μm, so the hot gas sensor can distinguish hot gas values from other gases. At the same time, it can also be combined with a wind speed sensor to determine whether the airflow is caused by heating, and to distinguish between "hot gas" and "ordinary gas".

[0087] The bath heater is one of the main sources of hot gas molecules, but the hot gas molecules can spread to the entire room, especially the upper area, and a single location sensor can not fully capture all the hot gas. In addition, a main sensor can be arranged near the bath heater, and an auxiliary sensor can be arranged at the upper part or corner of the room to achieve comprehensive perception of the hot gas.

[0088] By arranging the temperature sensor on the side surface of the bath heater, direct thermal interference of the heating element is avoided, and the strong heat radiation area is avoided, so that the temperature reading is more true and reliable. Arranging the hot gas sensor directly below the bath heater can accurately capture the dynamic changes of hot gas at the heat source. The embodiments of the present application not only ensure the accuracy of temperature data, but also comprehensively perceive the diffusion state of hot gas in space, provide reliable data support for subsequent intelligent temperature control decision, and significantly improve the accuracy of temperature detection and the comprehensiveness of hot gas monitoring.

[0089] In step 202, after the temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature threshold, the hot gas volume is compared with a plurality of hot gas volume thresholds to determine the hot gas volume interval to which the hot gas volume belongs.

[0090] In the embodiments of the present application, after the environmental temperature of the bath heater is detected to be greater than or equal to the preset temperature threshold in step 201, the hot gas volume can be compared with a plurality of hot gas volume thresholds to determine the hot gas volume interval to which the hot gas volume belongs.

[0091] In some examples, different hot gas volume thresholds can correspond to different hot gas volume intervals in the process of controlling the bath heater. Different hot gas volume intervals can represent the distribution of hot gas in the environment of the bath heater, reflecting the heat state in the bathroom.

[0092] In step 203, the target heating parameter corresponding to the target hot gas volume interval is obtained; the target heating parameter includes a target heating power and a target heating time; the greater the value of the hot gas volume interval to which the hot gas volume belongs, the smaller the corresponding heating power;

[0093] In the embodiments of the present application, the target heating parameter corresponding to the target hot gas volume interval can be obtained by the master control unit. The target heating parameter can include a target heating power and a target heating time. The greater the value of the hot gas volume interval to which the hot gas volume belongs, the smaller the corresponding heating power. That is, the more hot gas molecules in the space where the bath heater is located, the greater the heat, and the smaller the corresponding heating power of the bath heater, so that the heating effect of the bath heater is weakened, and the control effect of the bath heater reaches a constant temperature state.

[0094] By establishing the dynamic correspondence relationship between the hot gas volume interval and the heating parameter, the optimal control scheme can be automatically selected according to the actual heat state of the bathroom, which not only avoids the temperature fluctuation problem caused by the traditional single threshold control, but also realizes precise on-demand heating, significantly improves the temperature control accuracy and energy utilization efficiency of the bathroom heater, and effectively solves the problems of local overheating or insufficient heating caused by the traditional bathroom heater due to the inability to perceive the heat distribution.

[0095] Step 204, taking the heating parameter corresponding to the target hot gas volume interval as the target heating parameter.

[0096] In the embodiment of the present application, the heating parameter corresponding to the target hot gas volume interval determined in step 203 can be taken as the target heating parameter for the current operation of the bathroom heater, so that the bathroom heater can heat according to the predetermined target heating power and heating time.

[0097] In some examples, when the bathroom heater heats according to the predetermined target heating power, it is judged whether the heating time reaches the preset threshold, if yes, the current heating task is completed, and then step 201 is repeatedly executed to detect and judge the current temperature and hot gas volume and determine the target heating parameter.

[0098] In some examples, the ambient temperature and hot gas volume around the bathroom heater can also be detected while the bathroom heater heats according to the target heating parameter, and then the target heating parameter is selected again according to the current ambient temperature and hot gas volume around the bathroom heater, and the heating can be stopped when the ambient parameter reaches the preset ambient temperature threshold or hot gas volume threshold.

[0099] By intelligently matching the target hot gas volume interval with the preset heating parameter, precise and automatic control of the bathroom heater heating process is realized. The corresponding optimal heating parameter can be automatically called according to the real-time determination of the hot gas volume interval, ensuring that the heating intensity accurately matches the current heat environment demand. In the heating execution stage, the heating time can also be continuously monitored, and after reaching the preset threshold, the system automatically enters the ambient parameter detection cycle to form a complete closed-loop control system. Through the cycle detection, dynamic adjustment is realized, effectively solving the problems of energy waste or insufficient heating caused by the fixed power output of the traditional bathroom heater.

[0100] Step 205, controlling the bathroom heater to heat according to the target heating parameter.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, after the target heating parameter is selected, the bathroom heater can heat according to the target heating parameter.

[0102] In some examples, when a preset condition is reached, such as when the heating duration reaches a preset time threshold, or the ambient temperature reaches a preset temperature threshold, or the hot gas volume reaches a preset hot gas volume threshold, the current heating task is ended, and re-detection is performed.

[0103] Sub-step S21, when the hot gas volume belongs to a first hot gas volume interval, control the bathroom heater to heat according to a preset first power and a first preset time; the first hot gas volume interval is an interval less than the first hot gas volume threshold;

[0104] In some examples, when the current hot gas volume is less than the first hot gas volume threshold, such as 10 m 3 , the first hot gas volume interval is reached, at which time the first power, such as 1200 W, is used to heat for the first preset time, such as 10 min, which is the preheating phase of the bathroom heater.

[0105] Sub-step S22, when the hot gas volume belongs to a second hot gas volume interval, control the bathroom heater to heat according to a preset second power and a second preset time; the second hot gas volume interval is an interval greater than or equal to the first hot gas volume threshold and less than the second hot gas volume threshold;

[0106] In some examples, when the current hot gas volume is greater than or equal to the first hot gas volume threshold and less than the second hot gas volume threshold, such as when the hot gas volume is greater than or equal to 10 m 3 and less than 15 m 3 , the second hot gas volume interval is reached, at which time the second power, such as 800 W, is used to heat for the second preset time, such as 8 min, which is the temperature rising phase of the bathroom heater.

[0107] Sub-step S23, when the hot gas volume belongs to a third hot gas volume interval, control the bathroom heater to heat according to a preset third power and a third preset time; the third hot gas volume interval is an interval greater than or equal to the second hot gas volume threshold and less than the third hot gas volume threshold;

[0108] In some examples, when the current hot gas volume is greater than or equal to the second hot gas volume threshold and less than the third hot gas volume threshold, such as when the hot gas volume is greater than or equal to 15 m 3 and less than 20 m 3 , the third hot gas volume interval is reached, at which time the third power, such as 400 W, is used to heat for the third preset time, such as 5 min, which is the temperature maintaining phase of the bathroom heater.

[0109] Sub-step S24, when the hot gas volume belongs to a fourth hot gas volume interval, control the bathroom heater to stop heating according to a fourth preset time; the fourth hot gas volume interval is an interval greater than the third hot gas volume threshold.

[0110] In some examples, when the current hot gas volume is greater than a third hot gas volume threshold, for example, the hot gas volume is greater than or equal to 20 m3, it is a fourth hot gas volume interval, at this time, heating is stopped for a fourth preset time, for example, 15 min, at this time, it is a bath heater heat dissipation stage.

[0111] Through intelligent heating parameter execution control, precise management of the bath heater working process is realized. Based on real-time detection of environmental parameters and accurate determination of the hot gas volume interval, the embodiment of the application automatically executes the target heating parameters matched therewith, including precise power output and scientific heating time control.

[0112] In step 206, when the temperature is less than the preset temperature threshold, the bath heater is controlled to heat according to a fifth preset power and a fifth preset heating time.

[0113] In the embodiment of the application, when the temperature is less than the preset temperature threshold, for example, 20℃, the bath heater is controlled to heat according to a fifth preset power, for example, 1200W, for a fifth preset time, for example, 10 min, until the temperature reaches the preset threshold, for example, 25℃, and the hot gas threshold is determined.

[0114] By setting a standardized heating scheme under low-temperature working conditions, the pain points of low energy efficiency and slow temperature rise of traditional bath heaters in the initial heating stage are effectively solved. When the detected temperature is lower than the preset threshold, the optimized combination of the fifth preset power and heating time can be automatically enabled, and a high power and reasonable time (fast heating mode) is adopted to ensure that the bathroom reaches a comfortable temperature in the shortest time.

[0115] In the embodiment of the application, the temperature and hot gas volume of the space are first detected during the operation of the bath heater; when the detected temperature reaches or exceeds the preset temperature threshold, the hot gas volume is compared with a plurality of preset thresholds to determine its interval; then the corresponding heating parameters are obtained according to the determined hot gas volume interval, wherein the greater the hot gas volume, the smaller the corresponding heating power; finally, the bath heater is controlled to operate according to the determined heating parameters. The embodiment of the application establishes the corresponding relationship between the hot gas volume interval and the heating parameters, realizes fine control of the bath heater heating strategy, and effectively improves the energy utilization efficiency. When the hot gas volume is small, a larger power is used for heating, and as the hot gas volume increases, the heating power is gradually reduced, and when the hot gas volume exceeds the maximum threshold, heating is stopped. This hierarchical control method can automatically adjust the heating intensity according to the real-time thermal environment state of the bathroom, which not only ensures the use comfort, but also avoids energy waste.

[0116] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the application, the embodiments of the application will be described below by way of an example:

[0117] Reference Figure 4, a control flow chart of an embodiment of the present application is shown, which is specifically as follows:

[0118] After the bath heater starts to perform heating;

[0119] The temperature sensor detects whether the current temperature T is greater than or equal to T 目标 ;

[0120] If the current temperature T is greater than or equal to T 目标 , the hot gas volume is judged;

[0121] If the current temperature is less than T 目标 , the temperature sensor detects whether the current temperature T is greater than or equal to T min , which can be a preset temperature threshold;

[0129] It should be noted that for the method embodiments, for the sake of simplicity, the methods will be described as a series of acts but it will be appreciated that the embodiments of methods are not limited to the order of acts, as some steps could be performed in other orders or even at the same time with the present embodiments. Furthermore, not all illustrated acts are required to implement the embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with examples of the present disclosure.

[0130] Referring to Figure 5 , a structural block diagram of a control device of a bath heater is shown, which can specifically include the following modules:

[0131] The data detection module 301 is configured to detect the temperature of the space where the bath heater is located and the volume of hot gas during the operation of the bath heater.

[0132] The embodiments of the present application can be applied to a smart bath heater, which can include a heating module, a sensor and a main control unit. The temperature of the space where the bath heater is located and the volume of hot gas can be detected by the sensor when the bath heater starts to operate.

[0133] In the embodiments of the present application, the temperature refers to the ambient temperature value around the bath heater, which can be detected by a temperature sensor or an infrared sensor. The volume of hot gas refers to the distribution volume of hot gas molecules in the space, which can be obtained by a hot gas sensor.

[0134] In some examples, the hot gas molecules refer to air molecules heated during the heating process, which can expand and rise due to heating, forming a hot gas flow. Its essence is still air molecules, but due to the increase in volume due to the increase in temperature, it is referred to as hot gas molecules in the embodiments of the present application. At the same time, since the movement direction of the hot gas molecules is upward, the bath heater may detect that the ambient temperature is too high, while the actual heating effect does not meet the expected condition. The volume of hot gas molecules can reflect the flow and aggregation of hot air, so compared with detecting only the ambient temperature value around the bath heater, it can more accurately reflect the temperature condition of the entire bathroom, which is helpful to determine whether the bath heater needs further heating.

[0135] The embodiments of the present application can solve the problem of the conventional bath heater lacking the monitoring capability of the volume of hot gas and relying only on a single temperature threshold for control by combining the ambient temperature around the bath heater and the volume of the bathroom, so that the monitoring of the bath heater on the environmental parameters is more accurate.

[0136] The parameter determination module 302 is configured to determine a target heating parameter according to the volume of hot gas when the temperature is greater than or equal to a preset temperature threshold; the target heating parameter includes a target heating power.

[0137] In the embodiment of the present application, when the detected temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature threshold, the target heating parameter can be determined according to the hot gas volume at this time, wherein the target heating parameter can include a target heating power.

[0138] In some examples, the target heating parameter can refer to a running configuration that the bath heater needs to perform in the current working state, and the target heating power is a key indicator that directly affects the heating speed and energy consumption level of the bath heater.

[0139] By dynamically adjusting the target heating power, the embodiment of the present application can optimize the energy use efficiency while meeting the temperature demand.

[0140] The heating control module 303 is configured to control the bath heater to heat according to the target heating parameter.

[0141] In the embodiment of the present application, the bath heater can be controlled to heat according to the determined target heating parameter.

[0142] In some examples, when the bath heater heats according to the target heating parameter, the ambient temperature and the hot gas volume around the bath heater can be detected at the same time, and when a preset ambient temperature threshold or hot gas volume threshold is reached, the heating can be stopped.

[0143] By adjusting the running mode of the bath heater in real time and making it work according to the calculated target heating parameter, the embodiment of the present application can more accurately match the actual demand, avoid energy waste or reduced use experience caused by excessive heating or insufficient heating, and more comprehensively evaluate the heating state of the bathroom, so as to develop a more reasonable heating strategy.

[0144] In the embodiment of the present application, the parameter determination module comprises:

[0145] The interval determination sub-module is configured to compare the hot gas volume with a plurality of hot gas volume thresholds, and determine a hot gas volume interval to which the hot gas volume belongs.

[0146] The parameter acquisition sub-module is configured to acquire a heating parameter corresponding to the target hot gas volume interval.

[0147] The parameter determination sub-module is configured to take the heating parameter corresponding to the target hot gas volume interval as a target heating parameter.

[0148] In the embodiment of the present application, the greater the numerical value of the hot gas volume interval to which the hot gas volume belongs, the smaller the corresponding heating power.

[0149] In the embodiment of the present application, the target heating parameter further includes a target heating time.

[0150] In the embodiment of the present application, the heating control module comprises:

[0151] a first heating control submodule, configured to control the bathroom heater to heat according to a preset first power and a first preset time when the hot gas volume belongs to a first hot gas volume interval; the first hot gas volume interval is an interval less than the first hot gas volume threshold value;

[0152] a second heating control submodule, configured to control the bathroom heater to heat according to a preset second power and a second preset time when the hot gas volume belongs to a second hot gas volume interval; the second hot gas volume interval is an interval greater than or equal to the first hot gas volume threshold value and less than the second hot gas volume threshold value;

[0153] a third heating control submodule, configured to control the bathroom heater to heat according to a preset third power and a third preset time when the hot gas volume belongs to a third hot gas volume interval; the third hot gas volume interval is an interval greater than or equal to the second hot gas volume threshold value and less than the third hot gas volume threshold value;

[0154] a fourth heating control submodule, configured to control the bathroom heater to stop heating according to a fourth preset time when the hot gas volume belongs to a fourth hot gas volume interval; the fourth hot gas volume interval is an interval greater than the third hot gas volume threshold value.

[0155] In the embodiment of the present application, the bathroom heater is provided with a temperature sensor and a hot gas sensor;

[0156] The data detection module comprises:

[0157] a temperature acquisition submodule, configured to acquire the temperature of the space where the bathroom heater is located collected by the temperature sensor;

[0159] In the embodiment of the present application, the device further comprises:

[0160] a second heating module, configured to control the bathroom heater to heat according to a fifth preset power and a fifth preset heating time when the temperature is less than the preset temperature threshold value.

In the embodiment of the present application, the heating parameter of the bathroom heater is dynamically adjusted according to the temperature of the space and the volume of the hot gas. The volume of the hot gas molecule can reflect the flow and aggregation of the hot air. Compared with the single detection of the ambient temperature of the bathroom heater, the temperature of the whole bathroom can be more accurately reflected, the precise control of the heating power of the bathroom heater is realized, and the use efficiency of the bathroom heater is improved.
