Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of intelligent water temperature control and water level management, and specifically relates to a water taking method and system of a step-by-step water taker. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of intelligent household appliances and drinking water equipment, the first batch of water takers has entered a 3-5 year use cycle, with an average water temperature fluctuation rate of 5.2%, a three-year stable performance shrinkage of more than 15%, and a replacement cost of up to 1-3 thousand yuan. The value of second-hand equipment is deeply affected by the water temperature stability (SOT) and water zone deviation. Users face five major anxieties: temperature anxiety, economic burden, no maintenance, invisible data, and residual value depreciation. Most stores only provide detection + replacement services, lacking "non-destructive intelligent maintenance" means. High-frequency use of household or office equipment, as well as long-term idle water takers, all face maintenance needs. The performance fluctuation and stability of the water tank under high-frequency water taking conditions are increasingly prominent, for example, common faults of traditional water dispensers include no cooling, no heating, water flow blockage, water leakage, and odor, which are often caused by power failure, improper bottle installation, thermostat maladjustment, or filter blockage, resulting in decreased user experience and additional repair costs.

[0003] Traditional water level management systems (WMS) mainly rely on overall monitoring and whole-tank water replenishment control, which is difficult to accurately perceive the high-temperature zone and temperature decay characteristics of the water zone, especially in the water replenishment scenario, which can easily lead to increased water zone deviation, local overcooling and overheating, and shortened equipment life. For example, a one-time large amount of cold water replenishment can cause a sudden drop in water temperature, and users need to wait a long time for heating to recover; at the same time, repeated boiling can produce "thousand boiling water", affecting water quality safety. Existing water taking methods usually use one-time water replenishment or invasive detection, such as disassembling and checking the filter or heating element, which poses potential risks to the water tank structure and system stability, and cannot achieve real-time dynamic optimization and remote management. In addition, existing water replenishment and taking technologies mostly rely on fixed water volume or constant replenishment and taking strategies, lack of fine control and adaptive optimization capability for water zone stable state, and are difficult to effectively delay temperature decay and deviation growth, and also cannot form a closed-loop monitoring-replenishment-reinspection process. Ignoring maintenance will also lead to rising hidden costs, such as pipe corrosion, electrical damage, health risks (medical expenses caused by water pollution), and energy waste (increased electricity costs due to low efficiency).

[0004] With the application of cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, intelligent water dispensers are evolving towards automation and interconnection. IoT sensors can monitor water quality, temperature, and water level in real time, supporting predictive maintenance and remote control, such as viewing consumption, detecting leaks, and optimizing water use through mobile apps. However, many systems at this stage still do not fully integrate these technologies. How to achieve step-by-step data collection, stable evaluation, water replenishment strategy optimization, and remote closed-loop management through water level sensors without changing the internal structure of the water tank has become a technical problem that needs to be solved. Although existing IoT water quality monitoring systems can provide cost-effective solutions, they still have limited fine-grained applications for temperature control, making it difficult to fully address the pain points of traditional devices such as insensitive thermostats, uneven heating and cooling, and high maintenance costs.

[0005] The present application proposes a step-by-step water dispenser water taking method, which realizes water temperature life extension, stable operation, and water taking efficiency optimization through step-by-step data collection, bimodal stable curve construction, optimization model deduction, closed-loop monitoring, and platform collaboration. It overcomes the technical defects of insufficient water zone temperature state perception, fixed water replenishment strategy, and lack of closed-loop management in existing technologies. Among them, the water tank is dynamically divided into high-temperature zone, buffer zone, and heating zone by three water level sensors to achieve "small amount and multiple times" water replenishment and eliminate rolling water and uneven heating and cooling. This method does not require invasive intervention, reduces operational risk, improves device implementability and user satisfaction. In high-frequency water taking scenarios, it not only effectively suppresses deviation growth and water zone temperature deviation, but also prolongs the service life of the water tank, reduces energy consumption, and provides data support and intelligent decision-making basis for stable operation and remote management of the water tank. Overall, the present application promotes the sustainable development of intelligent drinking water equipment and significantly alleviates users' concerns about maintenance and costs. SUMMARY

When the water temperature is sufficient and the water level is below the high-temperature zone, only cold water is injected and the existing high-temperature water is used to heat the cold water. By controlling the small amount of dynamic replenishment multiple times, the cold-hot mixing area of the water tank buffer zone is activated, and the water temperature fluctuation period is verified based on the temperature feedback incentive method. Select the water taking mode; S4: Establish a monitoring-water replenishment-reinspection closed loop process. When the water temperature deviation in the water tank is detected, control the overall water temperature in the water tank during the water taking process through batch water replenishment strategy, and adjust the water temperature heating bias value according to the water level change in the water tank.

[0013] Specifically, the step water taking scheme controls the pulse or constant current water replenishment mode with the water replenishment amount amplitude much smaller than the rated water replenishment amount, dynamically adjusts the temperature balance of the water area, activates the low-mixed thermal ion region, and adopts different water replenishment amount amplitude and water taking depth strategies according to different regions, to match the actual stable state and water temperature state distribution of the water area. In the water replenishment stage, the temperature fluctuation is slowed down through stage water temperature buffer and pulse adjustment, and the water area deviation is monitored and balanced in real time.

[0014] Specifically, the flow synchronization alignment method takes timestamp as the main index, synchronizes the data stream output by the water level flow meter, and according to the step water taking stage division rule, combines the water temperature value and instantaneous flow value corresponding to each time point into corresponding data nodes, and encapsulates them into structured data frames in time sequence.

[0015] Specifically, the monitoring-supplementing-rechecking closed loop process performs online monitoring on water area deviation and stable state through step-by-step water level interaction management, and when detecting temperature deviation or stability abnormality in the water area, the water area is balanced in stages and the low-mixing area is activated based on precise heating of the heating area. After the water supplementing is completed, the water area stability and temperature recovery are verified by repeatedly measuring the water supplementing and water taking temperature response curve and water temperature-water level performance change, and the water supplementing parameters and supplementing strategy are dynamically adjusted according to the rechecking result.

[0016] Specifically, the correction method for maintaining the mapping logic is: a water temperature state-water level state double variable correlation matrix is established, the mean square error between the step-by-step water taking model output value and the measured value is calculated, a temperature correction factor and a water level rate correction term are introduced to integrate the high temperature area, the buffer area and the heating area division data, and the non-linear drift of the step-by-step water taking temperature change is compensated.

[0017] Specifically, a water taking system of a step-by-step water taker is used to execute the method according to any one of claims 1-12, and comprises: a water level interaction construction module: step-by-step water supplementing data are acquired, a water temperature-water level double mode curve is constructed based on the water level and water temperature parameters in the step-by-step water supplementing data, the water tank water level is divided into a high temperature area, a buffer area and a heating area, and water supplementing temperature change data are obtained by detecting the change amplitude of the water level in the water supplementing test process; a step-by-step water taking modeling module: a water taking optimization model is constructed based on the water temperature-water level double mode curve, the water temperature stability data are input into the step-by-step water taking model as input parameters, the maintenance mapping logic of the step-by-step water level interaction management on the water temperature state and the water level state is calibrated, and the step-by-step water level interaction management is labeled with water injection demand information through a structure stability calibration method to generate a step-by-step water supplementing scheme; a dynamic water supplementing selection module: the step-by-step water supplementing scheme intelligently supplements the water tank in a small amount and multiple times, when the water temperature is sufficient and the water level is lower than the high temperature area, only cold water is injected and the existing high temperature water is used to heat the cold water, the buffer area cold and hot mixing area of the water tank is activated through control of a small amount and multiple times of dynamic water supplementing, and the water taking mode is selected based on temperature feedback excitation method verification of the water temperature fluctuation period; a closed loop monitoring verification module: a monitoring-supplementing-rechecking closed loop process is established, when the water temperature deviation in the water tank is detected, the overall water temperature of the water tank in the water taking process is controlled through batch water supplementing strategy, the water temperature heating deviation value is adjusted according to the water level change in the water tank, and only heating is performed in the heating area to stably verify the water taking mode.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present application are: The application realizes non-destructive water tank data acquisition and management through a step-by-step water level sensor, is non-destructive, non-intrusive, and has a small amount of intelligent water replenishment, so that the water tank is as maintainable as a heater, the water level sensor is plug-and-play, one-key execution, safe and does not damage the equipment; visual result report + platform historical comparison, the result can be seen; supports a monitoring-replenishment-reinspection closed loop process, creates a standard service path, can obtain key characteristic parameters such as water area temperature, water level, mixing and deviation in real time, and constructs a water temperature-water level bimodal state curve through segmented water level sensor loading and water replenishment and water taking tests, and realizes accurate perception of the water area high temperature area and temperature fluctuation trend. Among them, the water tank is dynamically divided into a high temperature area, a buffer area and a heating area by three water level sensors, the high level sensor ensures the water quality of the high temperature area, the middle level sensor monitors the mixing of the buffer area, and the low level sensor triggers the low-power heating of the heating area, uses the buffer area to isolate hot and cold water, completely eliminates the problem of cold and hot water and uneven heating, and realizes the ultimate energy efficiency.

[0024] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present application to achieve the predetermined application purposes, the specific embodiments, structures, features and effects thereof according to the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 A water taking method of a step-by-step water taking device: S1: Obtain step-by-step water replenishment data, construct a water temperature-water level bimodal curve based on the water level and water temperature parameters in the step-by-step water replenishment data, divide the water tank water level into a high temperature zone, a buffer zone and a heating zone, and obtain water replenishment water temperature change data by detecting the change amplitude of the water level during the water replenishment test; S2: Construct a water taking optimization model based on the water temperature-water level bimodal curve, input the water temperature stability data as an input parameter into the step-by-step water taking model, calibrate the maintenance mapping logic of the step-by-step water level interactive management on the water temperature state and the water level state, and label the water injection demand information of the step-by-step water level interactive management through the structure stability calibration method, to generate a step-by-step water replenishment scheme; S3: The step-by-step water replenishment scheme intelligently replenishes the water tank a few times, when the water temperature is sufficient and the water level is lower than the high temperature zone, only cold water is injected and the existing high temperature water is used to heat the cold water, the cold and hot mixed area of the water tank buffer zone is activated through the control of a few times of dynamic water replenishment, and the water temperature fluctuation period is verified based on the temperature feedback excitation method, and the water taking mode is selected; S4: Establish a monitoring-water replenishment-reinspection closed loop process, when the water temperature deviation in the water tank is detected, control the overall water temperature of the water tank during the water taking process through the batch water replenishment strategy, and adjust the water temperature heating bias according to the water level change in the water tank, only heat in the heating zone, and stably verify the water taking mode.

[0026] Specifically, the step-by-step water replenishment data acquisition method is: zero point calibration is performed by synchronously sampling water temperature flow data through a water level flow meter, a step-by-step water taking mode is set and water level, water temperature and water taking time information are obtained during the water taking stage, the water taking flow and the segmented water level and water temperature curve are unified into a structured data frame through flow synchronization alignment, and step-by-step water taking data is obtained.

[0027] Specifically, the water tank water level division method is: based on the water temperature gradient characteristics corresponding to the water temperature-water level bimodal curve, according to the temperature change rate at different water level heights of the water tank, the upper thermal stable layer with stable temperature and gradient approaching is divided into a high temperature zone; then the middle mixed layer with water temperature decreasing and gradient absolute value increasing after water replenishment is taken as a buffer zone; and then the water level section close to the heating element is quickly heated after water replenishment, and the temperature recovery speed and gradient are greatly increased, which is divided into a heating zone.

[0028] Specifically, the construction method of the water temperature-water level bimodal curve is: Under the condition of a stepping water level sensor, the execution of water replenishment and water taking processes of the water tank in each water level state interval is monitored through stepping water level interaction management, the corresponding water level increment and temperature decay characteristics are recorded, and the temperature change rate and water level response rate are calculated through a differential temperature level analysis method; A water temperature-water level bimodal state curve is constructed with water level as the horizontal axis and water temperature stability as the vertical axis, and a multi-modal feature fusion algorithm is used to take the differential temperature level characteristics and water temperature retention rate as fusion variables. A nonlinear mapping relationship between stability and water level response is established by fitting the corresponding peak values in the water replenishment and water taking processes.

[0029] Specifically, the generation method of the water replenishment temperature change data is: based on the water replenishment temperature response characteristics extracted from the water temperature-water level bimodal state curve, the heat decay growth rate and water temperature retention rate indicators are calculated, and compared with the water tank temperature maintenance time, to generate the water replenishment temperature change data.

[0030] In this embodiment, the system includes a three-layer structure: a device layer (data acquisition module, temperature feedback unit, water replenishment control module, and support area isolation); an algorithm layer (SOT estimation module, bimodal curve construction module, water taking optimization model, and integrated dynamic division logic); and a platform service layer (data archiving, historical analysis, and OTA delivery).

[0031] The stepping water taking module performs multiple segment water taking operations according to the set water taking flow, forming stepping water taking data. The water level sensor continuously outputs the water level height with a sampling frequency of 1-5HZ, the water temperature sensor outputs the real-time water temperature with a synchronous sampling frequency of 1-5HZ, and the water taking flowmeter outputs the instantaneous flow and cumulative flow. These data are used as raw input for subsequent water level interval division, bimodal curve construction, and water taking optimization model training.

[0032] The following method is used to test the water level change and divide the three regions inside the water tank: 1. Test method: In the full water state of the water tank, multiple groups of fixed water replenishment temperature + fixed water replenishment amount of water replenishment / circulation test are carried out; no stirring in the middle, keep the real thermal stratification state; the test data comes from the step-by-step water taking data of S1.

[0033] 2. Partition division basis: (1) High temperature zone: the temperature is stable at the set high temperature value, the fluctuation is 1℃, the fluctuation is small, Tgrad(i)≈0 (the temperature change is very small with the water level change), the typical depth range is 0-20% of the water depth from the water surface.

[0034] (2) Buffer zone: after cold water replenishment, the water temperature appears rapid gradient change, heat mixing is significant, Tgrad(i) is obviously negative (cold water invades upward, causing temperature drop), temperature fluctuation amplitude >1℃, control multiple small amount of water replenishment.

[0035] (3) Heating zone: close to the heater, the water temperature rises rapidly after water replenishment, the temperature rise speed ∂T / ∂t ≥0.1℃ / s, the fluctuation period is short, the heat source influence is obvious, the partition data is used to construct the water temperature-water level bimodal curve.

[0036] The water injection demand information is adaptively generated by the step-by-step water taking model, which is inferred by the water temperature stability data and water level change test data, and is calibrated by the structure stability calibration method, which is determined by the temperature fluctuation characteristics, water taking step, and buffer zone response speed.

[0037] The water temperature fluctuation period is used to judge the thermal stability of the water tank, which is the core parameter of the temperature feedback excitation method. According to the continuous temperature sequence of T(i,t), when a small amount of dynamic water replenishment is carried out for multiple times, the temperature sensor captures the temperature instantaneous change to determine whether it enters the thermal stable zone.

[0038] By collecting step-by-step water taking data, the water temperature-water level bimodal curve is constructed, and the high temperature zone, buffer zone and heating zone are divided according to the water level change test. Based on the water temperature stability data, the system generates water injection demand information to form a step-by-step water taking scheme. Then, the cold and hot mixing response of the buffer zone of the water tank is activated by multiple small amount of dynamic water replenishment, and the temperature fluctuation period is obtained by using the temperature feedback excitation method. Finally, the closed-loop control process of monitoring-water replenishment-reinspection is established, and the stable output of water temperature and dynamic optimization of water taking mode in the water taking process are realized.

[0039] After 90 days of continuous testing, the records show that the water zone deviation is reduced from an average of 4.2 °C to 2.5 °C, a decrease of about 40%; the SOT fluctuation rate is reduced from 0.55% per month to 0.35%; the equipment replacement frequency is reduced by 25%, the maintenance cost is reduced by 10%; the water taking time is shortened by 6.5%, and the water temperature fluctuation is reduced by 2.0 °C. The improvement benefits from the dynamic regional division to eliminate uneven heating, verifies the effectiveness and economy of the method in the actual scene, and promotes the intelligent water taking device to develop in the direction of high efficiency and sustainability.

[0040] Firstly, the water temperature stability (SOT) is calculated by differential temperature analysis (DTA) and hybrid model fusion: , where T t is the current temperature, T new is the initial rated temperature, R t and R new are the current and initial hybrid impedances, respectively, and k r is the impedance weight coefficient.

[0041] Considering the impedance change of the heating zone, the accuracy of SOT evaluation is ensured. Secondly, the temperature-water level dual-mode fitting establishes a response relationship based on polynomial regression: , , The curve accuracy is optimized by minimizing the fitting residual ϵ, where V is the temperature response, L is the water level, a, b, and c are fitting coefficients, and the buffer zone features are fused to realize nonlinear mapping. Finally, the water replenishment control strategy optimization calculates the small amount of water replenishment time based on the water zone deviation ΔT i and the target equilibrium temperature T ref , where I c is the water replenishment amount, and the water zone is balanced by dynamically adjusting t i , and the remaining hot water in the high temperature zone is used to quickly heat and inject cold water.

[0042] Specifically, the construction method of the step-by-step water taking model is: The water temperature stability data and the water temperature-water level dual-mode state curve are input variables, the water temperature performance fluctuation and temperature recovery data are analyzed, and the water tank state replenishment parameter set is constructed by collecting the temperature and water level change parameters of the water tank in the water replenishment and water taking cycle; Based on the water tank state replenishment parameter set, a nonlinear mapping algorithm from water temperature stable state to replenishment strategy is constructed, which maps the water tank taking calibration data to the stable curve of the water tank in the standard initial stable state during the calculation process, analyzes the thermal efficiency and temperature recovery rate indicators, and establishes a water temperature stability performance evaluation function; The stability performance evaluation function calculates the stable change of the water tank under different water amount state intervals by analyzing the temperature response sensitivity coefficient and the water level dynamic weight, and combines the water level increment and the temperature attenuation characteristics during the water tank executes the water replenishment and water taking process to construct a step-by-step water taking model.

[0043] Specifically, the water taking mode includes: a fast replenishment water taking mode, a cycle water taking mode. The fast replenishment water taking mode: based on the medium-high water level state temperature repair strategy of dynamic small amount adjustment, using the high temperature zone to retain hot water to quickly heat and inject cold water combined with the medium-high water level interval state, and according to the small amount of cold water step-by-step micro-replenishment mechanism, controlling the dynamic perception and real-time adjustment of the temperature interval deviation, and activating the reaction of the hot mixed temperature; The cycle water taking mode: based on the water tank state reconstruction mechanism of full cycle water temperature state redistribution, through the low-frequency small amount of cold water to implement the water replenishment and water taking process of the water tank, to reconstruct the complete water temperature state response curve of the water area, activate the temperature false drop area, and in the water taking process, through sampling the water replenishment hysteresis and water taking resilience of each water area, and combining the sampling results, the water taking optimization model is fine-tuned and compensated to perform structural water temperature stability re-calibration.

[0044] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The overall data flow is: the water level and temperature collection flow is directed to the data adaptation and fusion calculation module, and then connected to the real-time temperature control bus, the bus is based on CAN protocol, then bifurcated to the feature extraction engine and the raw temperature and level data is warehoused to InfluxDB for offline compensation model training, then the feature parameters are written to embedded SQLite or local Flash for offline water temperature curve modeling and contrast matrix self-learning, finally through the control instruction API to the execution layer to drive the water replenishment valve and heating element.

[0045] Let the current water taking scheduling trigger time be the control time, and the predefined maximum temperature memory window be the temperature window, then the real-time temperature calculation interval is defined as from the control time minus the temperature window to the control time. In the real-time flow control module, a continuous integral monitoring mode is enabled to process the temperature difference value, and a delay compensation mechanism is superimposed.

[0046] The response weight decay of different water tanks at temperature fluctuation does not use a linear model, but a piecewise adaptive temperature decay function: when the time difference is less than the water tank temperature sensitive turning point, an exponential decay form is used, that is, the first coefficient multiplied by the exponential function, where the exponential is the negative second coefficient multiplied by the time difference; otherwise, a third coefficient multiplied by the time difference minus the power form in the parentheses after the turning point is used, where the power is the fourth coefficient. These coefficients are dynamically issued by the reference temperature model, and are used to realize the weight scheduling strategy of fast decay for high-capacity water tanks and delayed decay for low-capacity water tanks through water level feature mapping.

[0047] The system constructs a comparison control matrix when dynamically modeling the high-temperature zone, buffer zone, and heating zone. The matrix is a three-row, three-column structure. The first row includes high-temperature weights and interval coupling compensation factors. The second row includes zeros, buffer weights, and interval coupling compensation factors. The third row includes heating memory weight factors, heating memory weight factors, and compensation weights. These weights and factors are functions of time. The heating memory weight factor is derived from historical temperature curve residuals in reverse, i.e., the sum of the adaptive learning memory coefficient multiplied by the residual sum divided by the time difference, where the sum range is from the control time minus the temperature window to the control time.

[0048] When the absolute value of the temperature difference value divided by the temperature limit is greater than or equal to 1 and lasts for more than 100 milliseconds, the independent zone compensation mechanism is triggered. The segmented optimization algorithm is started to perform at a twenty-millisecond cycle to independently increase the weights of the buffer zone: First, the abnormal feedback is divided into discrete segments in the time dimension. Each segment sets the weight factor as an exponential function, where the exponent is the negative segment number divided by the total number of segments, multiplied by one plus the standard deviation of the temperature fluctuation of the segment. Then, the compensation signal is added to the target control quantity segment by segment to achieve smooth convergence of the temperature signal. At the same time, the threshold adaptive algorithm analyzes historical feedback to establish a dynamic adjustment model: the new temperature limit is equal to the old temperature limit plus the learning rate multiplied by the average temperature difference minus another learning rate multiplied by the environmental disturbance factor, such as the humidity gradient, to ensure that the threshold is corrected in real time with environmental variables.

[0049] In addition, the coordination feedback algorithm uses particle swarm optimization to perform multi-dimensional search on uncoordinated signals: initialize the particle swarm, and each particle position corresponds to a parameter vector including water quantity, temperature, and time. Update the speed through iteration, which is equal to the inertia weight multiplied by the previous speed plus the cognitive coefficient multiplied by the random number multiplied by the difference between the particle's best position and the current position, plus the social coefficient multiplied by another random number multiplied by the difference between the global best position and the current position, to minimize the coordination delay and fuse frequency domain analysis to extract the dominant frequency through fast Fourier transform, improving the accuracy of abnormal feedback to 98%.

[0050] Through simulation verification, this embodiment has an abnormal response delay of less than 50 ms and a water temperature fluctuation suppression rate of greater than 90% in a high-frequency water taking scene, significantly better than traditional fixed threshold methods, and is suitable for household and commercial drinking water equipment production lines.

[0051] Specifically, the step-by-step water taking scheme dynamically adjusts the temperature balance of the water zone by controlling the pulse or constant flow water replenishment mode with a water replenishment amount amplitude far smaller than the rated water replenishment amount when the water tank is in the low mixing fluctuation region or at the initial stage of temperature drop, activates the low mixing thermal ion region, and adopts different water replenishment amount amplitudes and water taking depth strategies according to different regions to match the actual stable state and water temperature state distribution of the water zone. During the water replenishment stage, the temperature fluctuation is slowed down through stage water temperature buffering and pulse adjustment, and the water zone deviation is monitored and balanced in real time.

[0052] Specifically, the flow synchronization alignment method uses time stamp as the main index to synchronize and align the data stream output by the water level flow meter, and combines the water temperature value and instantaneous flow value corresponding to each time point into corresponding data nodes according to the step-by-step water taking stage division rule, and encapsulates them into structured data frames in time sequence.

[0053] Specifically, the monitoring-water replenishment-reinspection closed loop process monitors the water zone deviation and stable state online through step-by-step water level interaction management. When detecting temperature deviation or stability abnormality in the water zone, the water zone is balanced and the low mixing region is activated based on the precise heating of the heating zone. After water replenishment is completed, the water zone stability and temperature recovery are verified by repeatedly measuring the water replenishment and water taking temperature response curve and the water temperature-water level performance change, and the water replenishment parameters and strategy are dynamically adjusted according to the reinspection result.

[0054] Specifically, the correction method of the maintenance mapping logic is to establish a water temperature state-water level state bivariate correlation matrix, calculate the mean square error between the step-by-step water taking model output value and the measured value, and simultaneously introduce a temperature correction factor and a water level rate correction term to integrate the high temperature zone, buffer zone and heating zone division data to compensate for the nonlinear drift of the step-by-step water taking temperature change.
