Therefore, while ensuring that the hot water equipment can accurately reach the desired temperature, the temperature reaching efficiency of the hot water equipment is improved, that is, the control accuracy of the hot water equipment is improved.

[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0045] The hot water equipment control method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to, for example, Figure 1 In the application scenario shown, the hot water device 102 communicates with the server 104. The data storage system can store the data that the server 104 needs to process. When the hot water device 102 is in the ignition operation stage, the server 104 increases the operating power of the hot water device 102. If it is determined that the hot water device 102 is in the temperature approaching state, the real-time outlet water temperature of the hot water device 102 is obtained. Based on the real-time outlet water temperature, the attenuation coefficient corresponding to the hot water device 102 is generated. According to the attenuation coefficient corresponding to the hot water device 102, the operating power of the hot water device 102 is reduced.

[0046] As one embodiment, when the hot water equipment is in the ignition operation stage, the main control component of the air supply equipment increases the operating power of the hot water equipment; if it is determined that the hot water equipment is in the temperature approaching state, the real-time outlet water temperature of the hot water equipment is obtained; based on the real-time outlet water temperature, the corresponding attenuation coefficient of the hot water equipment is generated; and according to the corresponding attenuation coefficient of the hot water equipment, the operating power of the hot water equipment is reduced.

[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a hot water equipment control method is provided, which is applied to... Figure 1 Taking server 104 as an example, the following steps are included:

[0048] Step 202: When the hot water equipment is in the ignition operation stage, increase the operating power of the hot water equipment.

[0049] In step 202, the operating power can also be the combustion power.

[0050] Optionally, the above method further includes: in response to a hot water demand command for the hot water equipment, controlling the hot water equipment to ignite, and determining that the hot water equipment is in the ignition operation phase.

[0051] Thus, a method for determining the ignition operation stage is provided, which can ensure the accuracy of determining the ignition operation stage of the hot water equipment.

[0052] For example, increasing the operating power of a hot water device includes: obtaining an initial operating power value of the hot water device, and an increment coefficient, and increasing the operating power of the hot water device based on the increment coefficient and the initial operating power value.

[0053] Specifically, the initial operating power value can be an empirical value or determined in a specific way, as detailed in step 304 below, which will not be elaborated here. The increment coefficient can also be an empirical value or determined in a specific way, as detailed in step 306 below, which will not be elaborated here.

[0054] Step 204: If it is determined that the hot water equipment is in the state of approaching the target temperature, then obtain the real-time outlet water temperature of the hot water equipment.

[0055] Optionally, the above method further includes: if the relationship between the target outlet water temperature and the real-time outlet water temperature of the hot water equipment meets a preset relationship condition, then the hot water equipment is determined to be in the temperature approach condition.

[0056] The target outlet water temperature corresponds to the set water temperature of the hot water equipment (the set water temperature is set by the user as needed and extracted from the hot water demand command responded by the hot water equipment). Specifically, the target outlet water temperature is positively correlated with the set water temperature of the hot water equipment.

[0057] Specifically, the preset size relationship conditions can include one of the following:

[0058] Scenario 1: The third temperature difference between the target outlet water temperature and the real-time outlet water temperature is less than the preset temperature difference threshold;

[0059] Scenario 2: The ratio between the target outlet water temperature and the real-time outlet water temperature is greater than the preset ratio threshold.

[0060] The preset temperature difference threshold can be an empirical value or correspond to the power control accuracy of the hot water equipment (e.g., how much power is adjusted in one adjustment; the more power adjusted in one adjustment, the lower the power control accuracy). Specifically, the preset temperature difference threshold and power control accuracy are inversely correlated. Similarly, the preset ratio threshold can be an empirical value or correspond to the power control accuracy of the hot water equipment. Specifically, the preset ratio threshold and power control accuracy are inversely correlated.

[0061] Therefore, considering that the lower the power control accuracy of the hot water equipment, the less power is adjusted in a single adjustment, a larger preset ratio threshold or preset temperature difference threshold needs to be set. This allows the hot water equipment to determine that it is in the temperature approaching state earlier. When the hot water equipment is in the temperature approaching state, the operating power of the hot water equipment is adjusted in real time according to the real-time outlet water temperature. Therefore, the final outlet water temperature of the hot water equipment can be as close as possible to the target outlet water temperature, thus improving the control accuracy of the hot water equipment.

[0062] Considering that any real-time data (including but not limited to real-time outlet water temperature, real-time outlet water temperature change rate, second temperature difference between target outlet water temperature and real-time outlet water temperature, and real-time operating condition data) will change in real time with the power control of the hot water equipment, the steps involving any of the above-mentioned real-time data will be re-executed when any of the above-mentioned real-time data changes. The content of repeated execution of steps will not be repeated hereafter.

[0063] Step 206: Generate the attenuation coefficient corresponding to the hot water equipment based on the real-time outlet water temperature.

[0064] In step 206, the attenuation coefficient is positively correlated with the real-time effluent temperature.

[0065] For example, step 206 includes: determining the real-time outlet temperature change rate of the hot water device based on the real-time outlet temperature of the hot water device; obtaining the second temperature difference between the target outlet temperature and the real-time outlet temperature of the hot water device; performing exponential processing on the real-time outlet temperature change rate and the second temperature difference to obtain an exponential coefficient; and generating the attenuation coefficient corresponding to the hot water device based on the exponential coefficient.

[0066] Furthermore, based on the real-time outlet water temperature of the hot water equipment, the real-time outlet water temperature change rate of the hot water equipment is determined, including: obtaining the historical outlet water temperature of the previous time step, and determining the ratio between the fourth temperature difference between the real-time outlet water temperature and the historical outlet water temperature and the time interval between the real-time outlet water temperature and the historical outlet water temperature as the real-time outlet water temperature change rate of the hot water equipment.

[0067] As an example, the real-time outlet water temperature change rate and the second temperature difference are subjected to exponential processing to obtain the exponential coefficient, including: determining the opposite of the product between the square of the second temperature difference and the real-time outlet water temperature change rate as the power, determining the natural constant as the exponent, and performing exponential power operation to obtain the exponential coefficient.

[0068] Optionally, the negative of the product of the square of the second temperature difference and the rate of change of the real-time outlet water temperature is determined as the power, and the natural constant is determined as the exponent. Exponentiation is then performed to obtain the exponent coefficient, which can be expressed by the formula:

[0069]

[0070] in, For exponential coefficients, This represents the real-time rate of change in outlet water temperature. For the target outlet water temperature, This refers to the real-time outlet water temperature.

[0071] As one embodiment, generating the attenuation coefficient corresponding to the hot water device based on the exponential coefficient includes: determining the exponential coefficient as the attenuation coefficient corresponding to the hot water device.

[0072] Step 208: Adjust the operating power of the hot water equipment according to the corresponding attenuation coefficient.

[0073] For example, step 208 includes: obtaining the real-time operating power value of the hot water device, attenuating the real-time operating power value according to the attenuation coefficient corresponding to the hot water device at the current time step, and obtaining a first target power value; and reducing the operating power of the hot water device to the first target power value.

[0074] Further, as an embodiment, the real-time operating power value is attenuated according to the attenuation coefficient corresponding to the hot water device at the current time step to obtain the first target power value, including: determining the first target power value as the product between the attenuation coefficient corresponding to the hot water device at the current time step and the real-time operating power value.

[0075] As another embodiment, the real-time operating power value is attenuated according to the attenuation coefficient corresponding to the hot water equipment at the current time step to obtain the first target power value, including: determining the difference between the real-time operating power value and the attenuation coefficient corresponding to the hot water equipment at the current time step as the first target power value.

[0076] In this way, multiple methods of reducing operating power are provided, allowing the operating power of hot water equipment to be adjusted to adapt to different adjustment scenarios.

[0077] In this embodiment, by increasing the operating power of the hot water equipment when it is ignited, the hot water equipment can be heated up quickly. When it is determined that the hot water equipment is approaching the desired temperature, the operating power of the hot water equipment is reduced by generating an attenuation coefficient based on the real-time outlet water temperature. This allows the hot water equipment to achieve precise temperature reaching. Therefore, while ensuring that the hot water equipment can accurately reach the desired temperature, the temperature reaching efficiency of the hot water equipment is improved, which means that the control accuracy of the hot water equipment is improved.

[0078] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, this method provides steps for adjusting the operating power of a hot water device. Figure 2 Step 204, increasing the operating power of the hot water equipment, includes:

[0079] Step 302: Obtain the initial inlet water temperature and target outlet water temperature of the hot water equipment.

[0080] In step 302, the initial outlet water temperature is the outlet water temperature of the hot water equipment before the operating power of the hot water equipment is increased.

[0081] Step 304: Determine the initial operating power value of the hot water equipment based on the initial inlet water temperature and the target outlet water temperature.

[0082] In step 304, the initial operating power value is positively correlated with the first temperature difference between the target outlet water temperature and the initial inlet water temperature.

[0083] Therefore, the greater the initial temperature difference between the target outlet water temperature and the initial inlet water temperature, the higher the target outlet water temperature is compared to the initial inlet water temperature. In this case, a higher initial operating power value needs to be set so that the hot water equipment can operate at a higher power and reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible, thus improving the accuracy of the initial operating power value.

[0084] As an embodiment, step 304 includes: obtaining a first temperature difference between the target outlet water temperature and the initial inlet water temperature, and a power control error factor corresponding to the hot water equipment; and fusing the first temperature difference, the ambient temperature of the environment where the hot water equipment is located, the initial water flow rate of the hot water equipment, and the power control error factor to obtain the initial operating power value of the hot water equipment.

[0085] The power control error factor can be an empirical value or generated according to a specific method. There are no restrictions here. The method of generating the power control error factor can refer to the following specific implementation content of generating the power control error factor corresponding to the hot water equipment based on the equipment operating performance characterized by real-time operating condition data. It will not be elaborated here.

[0086] Among them, the initial operating power value is inversely correlated with the ambient temperature of the environment where the hot water equipment is located; the initial operating power value is positively correlated with the initial water flow rate of the hot water equipment; and the initial operating power value is positively correlated with the power control error factor.

[0087] Therefore, considering that the hot water pipes of the hot water equipment inevitably exchange heat with the external environment, and that the temperature difference between the hot water pipes and the environment is relatively high when the ambient temperature of the hot water equipment is low, more heat is exchanged between the hot water pipes and the external environment, resulting in lower heat exchange efficiency of the hot water equipment. Therefore, a higher initial operating power value needs to be set to enable the hot water equipment to operate at a higher power. This ensures that the operation of the hot water equipment also takes into account its heat exchange losses with the external environment, thus improving the accuracy of the initial operating power value.

[0088] Therefore, considering that a larger initial water flow rate of the hot water equipment indicates a larger volume of water waiting for heat exchange, a higher initial operating power value needs to be set so that the hot water equipment can operate at a higher power, allowing all the water in the hot water pipes to undergo sufficient heat exchange, thus improving the accuracy of the initial operating power value generation.

[0089] Step 306: Determine the incremental coefficient of operating power based on the initial inlet water temperature and the target outlet water temperature.

[0090] For example, step 306 includes: combining the first temperature difference between the initial inlet water temperature and the target outlet water temperature, and the initial water flow rate of the hot water equipment, to obtain an incremental coefficient of operating power.

[0091] As an example, a first weight corresponding to a first temperature difference of the hot water equipment and a second weight corresponding to the initial water flow rate of the hot water equipment are obtained; the first temperature difference is weighted using the first weight to obtain a weighted value of the temperature difference, and the initial water flow rate is weighted using the second weight to obtain a weighted flow rate; the weighted value of the temperature difference and the weighted flow rate are fused to obtain an incremental coefficient of the operating power.

[0092] The first and second weights can be empirical values ​​or correspond to the degree of importance. Specifically, the first weight is positively correlated with the importance of the first temperature difference for the power control of the hot water equipment, and the second weight is positively correlated with the importance of the initial water flow rate for the power control of the hot water equipment.

[0093] Thus, by assigning higher weights to data that are more important for the power control of hot water equipment, they account for a larger proportion in the generation of incremental coefficients, thereby improving the accuracy of incremental coefficient generation.

[0094] Step 308: Increase the operating power of the hot water equipment based on the incremental coefficient and the initial operating power value.

[0095] For example, step 308 includes: fusing the incremental coefficient and the initial operating power value to obtain a second target power value; and increasing the operating power of the hot water equipment to the second target power value.

[0096] Furthermore, as an embodiment, fusing the incremental coefficient and the initial operating power value to obtain the second target power value includes: determining the product between the incremental coefficient and the initial operating power value as the second target power value.

[0097] As another embodiment, the second target power value is obtained by fusing the incremental coefficient and the initial operating power value, including: determining the sum of the incremental coefficient and the initial operating power value as the second target power value.

[0098] In this way, multiple ways to increase operating power are provided, allowing the operating power adjustment of hot water equipment to adapt to different adjustment scenarios.

[0099] In this embodiment, the initial inlet water temperature and target outlet water temperature of the hot water equipment are obtained; the initial operating power value of the hot water equipment is determined based on the initial inlet water temperature and target outlet water temperature; the increment coefficient of the operating power is determined based on the initial inlet water temperature and target outlet water temperature; and the operating power of the hot water equipment is increased based on the increment coefficient and the initial operating power value. By determining the initial operating power value and increment coefficient based on the initial inlet water temperature and target outlet water temperature, the process of increasing the operating power of the hot water equipment is matched with the initial inlet water temperature and target outlet water temperature, ensuring the precise increase of the operating power of the hot water equipment.

[0100] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, a method for real-time adjustment of the operating power of a hot water device is provided. Figure 2 After determining that the hot water equipment is in a state of approaching the target temperature, the above method also includes:

[0101] Step 402: Obtain the power control system error value of the hot water equipment during operation.

[0102] As an example, step 402 includes: obtaining the theoretical power value and the actual power value of the hot water equipment during operation, and determining the difference between the actual power value and the theoretical power value as the power control system error value of the hot water equipment during operation.

[0103] Step 404: Adjust the operating power of the hot water equipment according to the power control system error value.

[0104] As an embodiment, step 404 includes: obtaining a first target power value of the hot water equipment during operation; adjusting the first target power value according to the power control system error value to obtain a third target power value; and adjusting the operating power of the hot water equipment to the third target power value.

[0105] The adjustment method can be either summation fusion adjustment or product fusion adjustment; there are no restrictions here.

[0106] Optionally, the above method further includes: acquiring real-time operating condition data of the hot water equipment; generating a power control error factor corresponding to the hot water equipment based on the equipment operating performance characterized by the real-time operating condition data; and adjusting the operating power of the hot water equipment based on the power control system error value and the power control error factor.

[0107] Among them, the power control error factor is inversely correlated with the equipment operating performance characterized by real-time operating condition data.

[0108] Furthermore, the operating power of the hot water equipment is adjusted according to the power control system error value and the power control error factor, including: adjusting the first target power value according to the power control system error value and the power control error factor to obtain a fourth target power value, and adjusting the operating power of the hot water equipment to the fourth target power value.

[0109] The adjustment method can be either summation fusion adjustment or product fusion adjustment; there are no restrictions here.

[0110] In this embodiment, after determining that the hot water equipment is in the near-temperature state, the power control system error value of the hot water equipment during operation is obtained. Based on the power control system error value, the operating power of the hot water equipment is adjusted. Considering that there may be system errors in power control of the hot water equipment, specifically, the heat exchange efficiency under actual power control may differ from the heat exchange efficiency under theoretical power control, the power control system error value is used as the basis for adjusting the operating power to ensure accurate power control of the hot water equipment, thereby improving the control accuracy of the hot water equipment.

[0111] As a more detailed embodiment, when the hot water equipment is in the ignition operation stage, the initial inlet water temperature and the target outlet water temperature of the hot water equipment are obtained; the first temperature difference between the target outlet water temperature and the initial inlet water temperature, and the power control error factor corresponding to the hot water equipment are obtained; the first temperature difference, the ambient temperature of the environment where the hot water equipment is located, the initial water flow rate of the hot water equipment, and the power control error factor are fused to obtain the initial operating power value of the hot water equipment; the first weight corresponding to the first temperature difference of the hot water equipment and the second weight corresponding to the initial water flow rate of the hot water equipment are obtained; the first temperature difference is weighted using the first weight to obtain a weighted value of the temperature difference, and the initial water flow rate is weighted using the second weight to obtain a weighted flow rate; the weighted value of the temperature difference and the weighted flow rate are fused to obtain the incremental coefficient of the operating power; and the operating power of the hot water equipment is increased according to the incremental coefficient and the initial operating power value.

[0112] Furthermore, if it is determined that the hot water equipment is in a state of approaching the target temperature, the real-time outlet water temperature of the hot water equipment is obtained; based on the real-time outlet water temperature, the real-time outlet water temperature change rate of the hot water equipment is determined; the second temperature difference between the target outlet water temperature and the real-time outlet water temperature is obtained; the real-time outlet water temperature change rate and the second temperature difference are subjected to exponential processing to obtain an exponential coefficient; based on the exponential coefficient, the corresponding attenuation coefficient of the hot water equipment is generated; according to the corresponding attenuation coefficient of the hot water equipment, the operating power of the hot water equipment is reduced; the power control system error value of the hot water equipment during operation is obtained; the real-time operating condition data of the hot water equipment is obtained; based on the equipment operating performance characterized by the real-time operating condition data, the corresponding power control error factor of the hot water equipment is generated; based on the power control system error value and the power control error factor, the operating power of the hot water equipment is adjusted.

[0113] In this embodiment, when the hot water equipment is ignited, the operating power of the hot water equipment can be increased to enable the hot water equipment to heat up quickly. When it is determined that the hot water equipment is in the state of approaching the temperature, the attenuation coefficient is generated based on the real-time outlet water temperature, and then the operating power of the hot water equipment is reduced, so that the hot water equipment can achieve precise temperature. Therefore, while ensuring that the hot water equipment can accurately reach the temperature, the temperature reaching efficiency of the hot water equipment is improved, that is, the control accuracy of the hot water equipment is improved.

[0114] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts of the above embodiments are shown sequentially according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least some steps in the flowcharts of the above embodiments may include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times.
