[0046] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0047] To better understand the technical solution of this application, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0048] Currently, when heating equipment is used for both heating and bathroom purposes, there is a risk of insufficient gas supply or high temperature in the combustion chamber, which may cause the water temperature for heating and bathroom to fluctuate simultaneously, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0049] This application provides a solution that, when there is a heating demand, controls the heating gas valve and the zero-cold-water gas valve according to the control strategy corresponding to the zero-cold-water demand period and the current time node. This avoids the problems of insufficient gas supply or high temperature risk in the combustion chamber when heating and bathroom are used together, ensures the stability of the function when heating and bathroom are used together, and improves the user experience.

[0050] It should be noted that the executing entity in this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication, and program execution functions, such as a heating device, a ventilation device, etc., or an electronic device or heating device capable of performing the above functions. The following description uses a heating device as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the subsequent embodiments.

[0051] Based on this, the present application provides a control method for a heating device, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the control method for the heating equipment of this application.

[0052] In this embodiment, the control method of the heating equipment includes steps S10 to S40:

[0053] Step S10: When there is heating demand in the heating equipment, determine the current control strategy based on the period of zero cold water demand and the current time node.

[0054] It should be noted that the heating equipment in this embodiment is an integrated system. It not only provides the necessary heat energy to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature for homes or buildings, but also simultaneously meets the user's daily need for zero-cold-water in the bathroom. The heating equipment includes heating gas valves and bathroom gas valves. By adjusting the opening of these valves, the gas supply for heating and bathroom use can be controlled, thereby achieving precise regulation of both heating and zero-cold-water supply.

[0055] It is understood that the zero cold water demand period refers to the daily period during which the heating equipment uses zero cold water within a certain period of time in the future. The zero cold water demand period can be set in advance by the user; or it can be predicted by the heating equipment through model training based on the user's historical zero cold water usage records in the bathroom. This embodiment does not restrict the method of obtaining the zero cold water demand period. In this embodiment, the zero cold water demand period corresponding to different dates may differ. For example, the zero cold water demand period on weekdays is 20:00 to 21:00, and the zero cold water demand period on holidays is 21:30 to 22:30.

[0056] In practice, the current control strategy refers to the specific method of adjusting the opening degree of heating gas valves and bathroom gas valves, as well as the heating temperature, in order to meet the demand for zero cold water, so as to balance the demand for heating and zero cold water.

[0057] It should be noted that the process involves detecting whether the heating equipment is operating. If the heating equipment is operating, it is determined that there is a heating demand. The process then proceeds to obtain the period of zero cold water demand and the current time point. The relationship between the current time point and the period of zero cold water demand is determined, clarifying whether the current time point is before, during, or after the period of zero cold water demand. Based on this relationship, the current control strategy is determined.

[0058] In one feasible implementation, step S10 may further include steps A11 to A13:

[0059] Step A11: When the current time node falls within the time period from the first preset time node to the start time node of the zero cold water demand period, determine the current control strategy as the first control strategy.

[0060] It should be noted that the first preset time node is the time node corresponding to the preset time period before the zero cold water demand period. The preset time period can be set by the user according to their needs. For example, if the preset time period is 30 minutes and the zero cold water demand period is 20:00 to 21:00, then the first preset time node is 19:30.

[0061] Understandably, if the current time point falls within the period between the first preset time point and the start time point of the zero cold water demand period, it indicates that the zero cold water demand period is about to begin. At this time, it is necessary to increase the heating gas supply and raise the heating temperature. The current control strategy should be designated as the first control strategy to ensure adequate preparation before the start of the zero cold water demand period, ensuring users can obtain hot water promptly while maintaining indoor heating comfort and energy efficiency. For example, if the preset time period is 30 minutes, and the zero cold water demand period is from 20:00 to 21:00, then the first preset time point is 19:30. The current time point is 19:30, falling within the 19:30 to 20:00 period; therefore, the current control strategy should be designated as the first control strategy.

[0062] In this embodiment, when the current first control strategy is the first control strategy, it is necessary to adjust the opening degree of the heating gas valve of the heating equipment and adjust the heating temperature.

[0063] Step A12: When the current time node is at the start time node of the zero cold water demand period, determine the current control strategy as the second control strategy.

[0064] It should be noted that when the current time point is at the beginning of the period with zero cold water demand, it indicates that the period with zero cold water demand for the bathroom has arrived. At this time, it is necessary to reduce the gas supply for heating to ensure the gas supply for the bathroom. The current control strategy is determined to be the second control strategy, thereby ensuring the water temperature for the bathroom and avoiding insufficient gas supply or high temperature in the combustion chamber during the shared heating and bathroom periods. In this embodiment, when the current second control strategy is the first control strategy, it is necessary to adjust the opening degree of the heating gas valve and the bathroom gas valve of the heating equipment.

[0065] Step A13: When the current time node is within the time period from the end time node of the zero cold water demand period to the second preset time node and the stop time of the zero cold water operation is detected to be longer than the preset time, the current control strategy is determined to be the third control strategy.

[0066] It should be noted that the second preset time node is the time node corresponding to the preset time period after the zero cold water demand period. The preset time period can be set by the user according to their needs. For example, if the preset time period is 30 minutes and the zero cold water demand period is 20:00 to 21:00, then the second preset time node is 21:30.

[0067] It is understandable that if the current time point falls within the time interval between the end of the zero cold water demand period and the second preset time point, it indicates that the zero cold water demand period has already ended. At this time, the stop duration of the zero cold water operation is obtained. If the stop duration is longer than the preset duration, it means the user has stopped using the bathroom. In this case, the heating gas supply needs to be restored to ensure the heating temperature, and the current control strategy is determined to be the third control strategy. In this embodiment, when the current control strategy is the third control strategy, the opening degree and heating temperature of the heating equipment's heating gas valve need to be adjusted, and the bathroom gas valve needs to be closed.

[0068] In one feasible implementation, step S10 may further include: when the current time node is within the zero cold water demand period and there is no zero cold water operation information during the duration, obtaining the zero cold water demand probability of the zero cold water demand period; when the zero cold water demand probability of the zero cold water demand period is less than a first probability threshold, determining the current strategy as the third control strategy.

[0069] It should be noted that the zero cold water demand probability refers to the likelihood that a user will use the bathroom during a period of zero cold water demand. The higher the zero cold water demand probability, the greater the likelihood that the user will use the bathroom during that period. In this embodiment, the zero cold water demand probability during a period of zero cold water demand can be preset by the user; alternatively, it can be predicted by the heating equipment through model training based on the user's historical usage records of zero cold water in the bathroom. This embodiment does not restrict the source of the zero cold water demand probability.

[0070] Understandably, when the current time point falls within a period of zero cold water demand, the system checks whether there is any information indicating zero cold water operation within a specified duration starting from the beginning of that period. If zero cold water operation information is detected within that duration, it means the user used the bathroom during the period of zero cold water demand, and the second control strategy remains in effect. If no zero cold water operation information is detected within that duration, it means the user did not use the bathroom during the period of zero cold water demand, and in this case, the probability of zero cold water demand during that period needs to be obtained.

[0071] In practical implementation, when the probability of zero cold water demand during a zero cold water demand period is less than a set first probability threshold, it indicates that the likelihood of the user using the bathroom during the zero cold water demand period is low. To save resources, the heating and gas supply needs to be restored to ensure the heating temperature, and the current control strategy is determined to be the third control strategy. In this embodiment, the first probability threshold can be obtained by averaging the peak probabilities corresponding to historical zero cold water operation periods, or it can be set by the user. This embodiment does not restrict the source of the first probability threshold.

[0072] In practice, if the probability of zero cold water demand during a period of zero cold water demand is not less than the set first probability threshold, it indicates that the user is more likely to use the bathroom during the period of zero cold water demand, and the second control strategy is still maintained.

[0073] Step S20: Control the heating gas valve and / or the zero cold water gas valve of the heating equipment according to the current control strategy.

[0074] It should be noted that the zero-cold-water gas valve refers to the bathroom gas valve in the heating system, which is responsible for controlling the gas supply to ensure that sufficient heat can be accurately and safely provided to heat the water when needed. After determining the current control strategy, one or more of the heating gas valves and the zero-cold-water gas valves in the heating system are controlled according to the current control strategy to ensure the user's functional needs are met.

[0075] In one feasible implementation, step S20 may further include steps B11 to B12:

[0076] Step B11: When the current control strategy is the first control strategy, adjust the current opening of the heating gas valve of the heating equipment according to the first opening increase amount.

[0077] Step B12: Adjust the set heating temperature of the heating equipment according to the increase in heating temperature to obtain the target heating temperature of the heating equipment, and control the heating temperature of the heating equipment according to the target heating temperature.

[0078] It should be noted that when the current control strategy is the first control strategy, before the period of zero cold water demand, the heating gas supply needs to be increased to raise the heating temperature. The first opening increase d1% and the heating temperature increase T1 are obtained, and the opening of the heating gas valve is increased by the first opening increase d1% based on the current opening increase. Based on the set heating temperature T, the heating temperature increase T1 is increased to obtain the target heating temperature T2 = T + T1, thus causing the heating equipment to operate at the target heating temperature T2. In this embodiment, the first opening increase and the heating temperature increase can be set by the user or calculated by the heating equipment based on historical usage records of zero cold water demand.

[0079] In one feasible implementation, step S20 may further include steps C11 to C13:

[0080] Step C11: When the current control strategy is the third control strategy, adjust the current opening of the heating gas valve of the heating equipment according to the third opening increase amount.

[0081] Step C12: Control the heating temperature of the heating equipment according to the set heating temperature.

[0082] Step C13: Close the zero-cold water gas valve of the heating equipment.

[0083] It should be noted that when the current control strategy is the third control strategy, it is either after the period of zero cold water demand and the user has finished using the bathroom, or during the period of zero cold water demand and the user has not used the bathroom. In this case, the heating gas supply needs to be restored to ensure the heating temperature. The third opening increase d3% is obtained, and the opening of the heating gas valve is increased by the third opening increase d3% based on the current opening increase; and the heating equipment is made to operate according to the set heating temperature T. In this embodiment, the third opening increase is calculated based on the current opening of the heating gas valve and the opening of the heating gas valve before entering the first control strategy.

[0084] In this embodiment, before switching to the third control strategy, the heating equipment has already entered the second control strategy, which adjusts the opening and closing of the heating gas valve and the zero-cold-water gas valve, and controls the heating equipment to operate according to the target heating temperature T2. Therefore, when switching to the third control strategy, the initial setting state of the heating equipment will be restored, that is, the control mode will be restored to the state before the first control strategy.

[0085] In this embodiment, when there is a heating demand, the heating gas valve and the zero-cold-water gas valve are controlled according to the control strategy corresponding to the zero-cold-water demand period and the current time node. This avoids the problems of insufficient gas supply or high temperature risk in the combustion chamber when heating and bathroom are used together, ensuring the stability of the function when heating and bathroom are used together and improving the user experience.

[0086] Based on the first embodiment of this application, in the second embodiment of this application, the content that is the same as or similar to that in the first embodiment described above can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. Based on this, please refer to... Figure 2 Step S20 includes steps S21 to S23:

[0087] Step S21: When the current control strategy is the second control strategy, determine the target valve opening of the zero-cold-water gas valve based on the zero-cold-water demand temperature.

[0088] It should be noted that when the current control strategy is the second control strategy, it is already in the period of zero cold water demand, and the heating gas supply needs to be reduced to ensure the gas supply to the bathroom. At this time, the zero cold water demand temperature is obtained. In this embodiment, the zero cold water demand temperature refers to the hot water temperature expected by the user. It can be set by the user or calculated by the heating equipment based on the external ambient temperature. This embodiment does not limit the method of determining the zero cold water demand temperature.

[0089] Understandably, based on the zero cold water demand temperature, the heating equipment will calculate the target valve opening of the zero cold water gas valve. The target valve opening is to ensure that the amount of gas passing through the zero cold water gas valve can generate enough heat, thereby ensuring that the bathroom water temperature reaches the zero cold water demand temperature.

[0090] Step S22: Adjust the target valve opening according to the second opening increase to obtain the adjusted target valve opening.

[0091] It should be noted that the second opening increase amount d2% is obtained by adding this second opening increase amount to the target valve opening, thereby obtaining the adjusted target valve opening. In this embodiment, the second opening increase amount can be set by the user or calculated by the heating equipment based on historical usage records of zero cold water.

[0092] Step S23: Control the zero-cold-water gas valve according to the adjusted target valve opening, and adjust the current opening of the heating gas valve of the heating equipment according to the first opening reduction amount.

[0093] It should be noted that the first reduction in opening amount d4% is obtained, and the opening of the zero-cold-water gas valve is controlled to operate according to the adjusted target valve opening. The opening of the heating gas valve is controlled to decrease by the first reduction in opening amount based on the current opening, and the heating equipment is controlled to maintain the target heating temperature T2. In this embodiment, the first reduction in opening amount can be set by the user or calculated by the heating equipment based on the historical usage records of the zero-cold-water system. This embodiment does not limit the source of the first reduction in opening amount.

[0094] This embodiment effectively ensures the temperature of bathroom water and avoids insufficient gas supply or high combustion chamber temperature during the shared use of heating and bathroom facilities.

[0095] Based on the first embodiment of this application, in the third embodiment of this application, the content that is the same as or similar to that in the first embodiment described above can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. Based on this, please refer to... Figure 3 Before step S10, steps S01 to S02 are also included:

[0096] Step S01: Based on the zero-cold-water demand characteristics of the heating equipment and the zero-cold-water prediction model, obtain the zero-cold-water demand probability for each prediction time period.

[0097] It should be noted that the zero-cold-water demand characteristic information refers to the usage records of zero-cold-water water within a preset time period starting from the current time point. This includes, but is not limited to, the usage time period, the duration of each usage, the outlet water temperature during each zero-cold-water usage, the number of uses within the time period, the outdoor temperature, and the heating setting temperature. For example, if the current time point is 20:00:00 on August 8, 2000, and the preset time period is 2 days, then the usage records of zero-cold-water water for the period from 20:00:00 on August 6, 2000 to 20:00:00 on August 8, 2000 need to be obtained.

[0098] It is understood that the zero-cold-water prediction model is a model trained using historical usage records of zero-cold-water consumption by heating equipment, used to predict the probability of users' demand for zero-cold-water in a future period. In this embodiment, the zero-cold-water prediction model can be either a traditional machine learning model or a deep learning model, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on it.

[0099] In practice, the predicted time period is obtained by dividing a future period into time segments based on the user's historical cold water usage records and selecting an appropriate time length. For example, if the time segment length is 1 hour, then dividing the next 24 hours into time segments yields 24 predicted time segments. By inputting the cold water demand characteristics of the heating equipment into the cold water prediction model, the probability of cold water demand in each predicted time segment within the future period can be obtained.

[0100] In one feasible implementation, step S01 may further include steps D11 to D12:

[0101] Step D11: Obtain the heating equipment's historical operating characteristics information for multiple zero-cold-water operation periods and each zero-cold-water operation period during historical time periods.

[0102] It should be noted that the historical time period can be the period from the initial activation of the heating equipment to the current time point, or it can be a randomly specified time period within the activation period. This embodiment does not limit the historical time period.

[0103] It is understandable that historical operating characteristic information includes, but is not limited to, usage duration T_duration, outlet water temperature T_out, outdoor temperature T_out, and heating set temperature T_heat_set, and obtains the heating equipment's multiple zero-cold-water operation periods T_period and the historical operating characteristic information of each zero-cold-water operation period in historical time periods.

[0104] Step D12: Construct a model based on the historical operating characteristics of each zero-cold-water operating period to obtain a zero-cold-water prediction model.

[0105] It should be noted that, based on the zero-cold-water operating periods and their historical operating characteristics, the number of times the heating equipment was used (N) during the historical time period can be determined. Under various parameter combinations of each zero-cold-water operating period (T_period), its historical operating characteristics, and the number of uses (N), a model is constructed using F = f(T_period, T_duration, T_out, N, T_out, T_heat_set, ...), thus obtaining the zero-cold-water prediction model.

[0106] Step S02: Determine at least one zero cold water demand period from multiple prediction time periods based on the zero cold water demand probability and the second probability threshold for each prediction time period.

[0107] It should be noted that the probability of zero chilled water demand in each predicted time period is compared with the second probability threshold, and the predicted time period with the probability of zero chilled water demand greater than the second probability threshold is selected as the zero chilled water demand period. In this embodiment, the second probability threshold is less than the first probability threshold. The second probability threshold can be obtained by analyzing the historical operating characteristic information corresponding to the historical zero chilled water operation period, or it can be set by the user. This embodiment does not restrict the source of the first probability threshold.

[0108] This embodiment enables accurate prediction of periods with zero cold water demand, laying the foundation for accurate control of subsequent heating equipment.

[0109] It should be noted that the above examples are only for understanding this application and do not constitute a limitation on the control method of the heating equipment of this application. Any simple modifications based on this technical concept are within the protection scope of this application.

[0110] This application also provides a control device for heating equipment; please refer to... Figure 4 The control device for the heating equipment includes:

[0111] The processing module 10 is used to determine the current control strategy based on the period of zero cold water demand and the current time node when there is a heating demand in the heating equipment.

[0112] The control module 20 is used to control the heating gas valve and / or the zero cold water gas valve of the heating equipment according to the current control strategy.
