Description

A method for customizing water purifiers based on water quality data [Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a method for customizing water purifiers based on water quality data. [Background Technology]

[0002] In modern society, people are increasingly valuing healthy lifestyles and recognizing the importance of high-quality drinking water for maintaining good health. Clean, safe water can prevent various diseases, such as intestinal diseases and chronic illnesses. However, people's living areas, environments, and lifestyles differ, leading to varying needs for drinking water. For example, the minerals and trace elements in tap water vary from region to region. Therefore, some users living or working outside their registered area may experience nausea and diarrhea after drinking tap water from that area. Furthermore, different water usage habits, such as drinking directly, brewing tea, or making soup, also influence their drinking water needs. However, the filter components of water purifiers on the market cannot be changed; they can only filter tap water according to the pre-set filter combination, making it difficult to ensure the filtered water meets the user's specific needs. [Summary of the Invention]

[0003] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and provides a method for customizing water purifiers based on water quality data.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A method for customizing a water purifier based on water quality data, characterized by comprising a user smart device and a backend server. The user smart device includes a positioning module, a mobile communication module wirelessly connected to the backend server, a positioning module, and a water purifier customization application system. The backend server includes a water purifier customization system, stores multiple sets of tap water quality data from different regions, and stores information on multiple filter components with different functions. The customization steps are as follows:

[0006] S1. Trigger the startup of the water purifier customization application system in the user's smart device. The water purifier customization application system opens the positioning module and connects with the backend server.

[0007] S2, the water purifier customized application system displays the tap water composition type and tap water application options for users to choose from through the user's smart device;

[0008] S3. After the user selects the type of tap water composition and tap water application, the location information and option information are sent to the water purifier customization system.

[0009] S4. The water purifier customization system searches for the tap water quality data of the corresponding region based on the location information, then generates a filter element combination scheme that matches the option information based on the tap water quality data, and feeds it back to the water purifier customization application system, and returns to S2. The water purifier customization system sends the filter element combination scheme to the manufacturer after the user confirms the filter element combination scheme through the water purifier customization application system.

[0010] The water purifier customization method based on water quality data, as described above, is characterized by: a backend server pre-setting water purifier information consisting of different filter element components and different combinations of filter element components, and storing multiple sets of water quality data for different water purifiers in different regions; in S1, after the water purifier customization application system is connected to the water purifier customization system, the user can search for preset water purifier information through the water purifier customization application system; in S4, the water purifier customization system searches for the same water purifier water quality data in the corresponding region based on the location information, and then replaces the filter element components in the preset water purifier according to the water quality data and the filter element component combination information of the water purifier, generating a filter element component combination scheme that matches the option information.

[0011] The water purifier customization method based on water quality data described above is characterized by: further including a water quality testing device that can be connected to a user's smart device via Bluetooth for detecting water quality data. After the water quality testing device detects the water quality data of tap water or water filtered by the water purifier, it sends the location information and the water quality data to the back-end server through the user's smart device, so that the back-end server can obtain and store water quality data of different water types in different regions.

[0012] The water purifier customization method based on water quality data described above is characterized in that: the tap water quality data of different regions and the water quality data of different water purifiers stored on the back-end server can be obtained by a water quality testing team conducting on-site testing or by collecting water samples and then conducting laboratory testing.

[0013] The water purifier customization method based on water quality data described above is characterized in that: the water purifier customization system performs multi-dimensional clustering processing on water quality data from different regions, classifies the water quality data by region, period, and water quality type, calculates the mean, median, and variance of each category, identifies the adverse factors of tap water in different regions, and generates corresponding water quality adverse reports.

[0014] The water purifier customization method based on water quality data described above is characterized in that: in S4, the water purifier customization system also pushes a report on poor water quality of tap water in the corresponding region to the water purifier customization application system and recommends filter cartridge components based on the poor factors of tap water in the corresponding region.

[0015] The water purifier customization method based on water quality data described above is characterized in that: in step S4, a matching filter element combination scheme is generated according to the adverse factors of tap water in the corresponding region.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0020] The backend server of this invention stores multiple sets of tap water quality data from different regions. After the user selects the tap water composition type and tap water application requirements according to their own needs, the water purifier customization system searches for the corresponding region's tap water quality data based on the location information, and then generates a filter element combination scheme that matches the selection information based on the tap water quality data, so that the filtered water of the customized water purifier better meets the user's needs. At the same time, the backend server can also use water quality testing equipment to upload the tested water quality data of different types of water bodies in different regions to the backend server through the user's smart device. By analyzing the data, the adverse factors of water bodies in different regions can be obtained, which can be used by manufacturers to improve or develop new filter elements. [Image Description]

[0021] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the system of the present invention. [Detailed Implementation]

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. Furthermore, descriptions involving "preferred," "second-best," etc., in this invention are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "preferred" or "second-best" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0024] As shown in Figure 1, a water purifier customization method based on water quality data includes a user smart device 1 and a backend server 2. The user smart device 1 is equipped with a positioning module, a mobile communication module 11 wirelessly connected to the backend server 2, a positioning module 12, and a water purifier customization application system. The backend server 2 is equipped with a water purifier customization system, stores multiple sets of tap water quality data from different regions, and stores information on multiple filter cartridge components with different functions. The customization steps are as follows:

[0025] S1. Trigger the startup of the water purifier customization application system in the user's smart device 1. The water purifier customization application system opens the positioning module 12 and the water purifier customization system in the background server 2.

[0026] S2, The water purifier customized application system displays the tap water composition type and tap water application options for users to select through the user's smart device 1;

[0027] S3. After the user selects the type of tap water composition and tap water application, the location information and option information are sent to the water purifier customization system.

[0028] S4. The water purifier customization system searches for the tap water quality data of the corresponding region based on the location information, then generates a filter element combination scheme that matches the option information based on the tap water quality data, and feeds it back to the water purifier customization application system, and returns to S2. The water purifier customization system sends the filter element combination scheme to the manufacturer after the user confirms the filter element combination scheme through the water purifier customization application system, so that the water filtered by the customized water purifier can better meet the user's needs.

[0029] The tap water composition type option is a regional option, with each region's tap water mineral and trace element content information specified for that region. For example, if a user in region A lives and works in region B, the customized water purifier can select the region A option when choosing the tap water composition type. This ensures that the filtered water from region B retains or supplements the types and amounts of minerals and trace elements found in the tap water from region A, making the filtered water more suitable for the user's needs. The tap water application option reflects the user's primary water usage habits, including options for direct drinking, heating for drinking, brewing tea, making coffee, or cooking soup. Different water usage habits have different requirements for the retained or supplemented minerals and trace elements in the filtered water. For instance, selecting the direct drinking option allows for adjustments to the filtered water's composition to maximize the taste when drinking directly.

[0030] In this case, the backend server 2 has pre-set information on water purifiers with different filter element components and different combinations of filter element components, as well as multiple sets of water quality data for different water purifiers in different regions. In S1, after the water purifier customization application system is connected to the water purifier customization system, the user can search for the preset water purifier information through the water purifier customization application system. In S4, the water purifier customization system searches for the water quality data of the same water purifier in the corresponding region based on the location information, and then replaces the filter element components in the preset water purifier based on the water quality data and the filter element component combination information of the water purifier, generating a filter element component combination scheme that matches the option information, so that this case is compatible with the function of redesigning the filter element component combination scheme and improving the function of the existing water purifier filter element combination scheme.

[0031] As shown in Figure 1, this case also includes a water quality testing device 3 that can communicate with the user's smart device 1 via Bluetooth to detect water quality data. After detecting the water quality data of tap water or water filtered by a water purifier, the water quality testing device 3 sends the location information and the water quality data to the backend server 2 through the user's smart device 1, enabling the backend server 2 to obtain and store water quality data of different water types in different regions. The water quality data includes TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), TOC (Total Organic Carbon), COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), UV (Ultraviolet Transmittance), EC (Electrochemical Conductivity), and temperature data.

[0032] In this case, the water quality data of tap water from different regions and water quality data of different water purifiers stored on the backend server 2 can be obtained by on-site testing by a water quality testing team or by laboratory testing after collecting water samples. Among them, the water quality data from on-site testing by the water quality testing team also includes residual chlorine data, pH data, turbidity data, and water pressure data; the water quality data from laboratory testing also includes bacterial colony data, heavy metal data, and various ion data.

[0033] In this case, all water quality data collected by the backend server 2 is first cleaned to filter out unreasonable data caused by errors in the collection process. Then, the water purifier customization system performs multi-dimensional clustering processing on the water quality data of different regions, classifying the water quality data by region, period, and water quality type, and calculating the average, median, and variance of each category for statistical analysis. This generates attenuation curves of various filter cartridges under different scenarios, as well as recent and historical water quality status tables for different regions. At the same time, it identifies the adverse factors of tap water in different regions and generates corresponding water quality adverse reports, such as excessive heavy metals, insufficient beneficial elements, and high residual chlorine in a certain region.

[0034] In this case, S4 also needs to generate a matching filter element combination scheme based on the adverse factors of the tap water in the corresponding region, so that the customized water purifier can better meet the user's needs and achieve the best filter element combination effect.

[0035] In this case, the S4 water purifier customization system also pushes water quality reports of the corresponding region's tap water to the water purifier customization application system and recommends filter cartridges based on the adverse factors of the tap water in the corresponding region; manufacturers can also improve existing filter cartridges or develop new filter cartridges based on the adverse factors of tap water in different regions.

[0036] In this case, the water quality testing equipment is equipped with a central processing unit (CPU). The CPU is connected to a Bluetooth communication component for wireless communication with the user's smart device, a display component for displaying water quality testing information, a TDS electrode component, an ultraviolet transceiver component, a temperature sensor, and a button component. During testing, the water quality testing equipment is placed in the water to be tested, and the testing is started via the button component. After the testing is completed, the display component shows relevant water quality data such as TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), TOC (Total Organic Carbon), COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), UV (Ultraviolet Transmittance), EC (Electrochemical Conductivity), and temperature.

[0037] The temperature data detection principle of the water quality testing equipment is as follows: the central processing unit has a temperature lookup table that corresponds to the digital water temperature signal generated by the temperature sensor; the temperature sensor comes into contact with the water to be tested and generates different analog voltage outputs according to the water temperature to be tested, which are converted into digital water temperature signals after the A / D conversion of the temperature sensor and sent to the central processing unit; the central processing unit looks up the temperature data according to the digital water temperature signal and the temperature lookup table.

[0038] The detection principle of EC conductivity and TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) data in water quality testing equipment is as follows: The central processing unit (CPU) has a pre-set temperature compensation algorithm relating TDS, EC conductivity, and temperature. The TDS electrode assembly contacts the water being tested and generates different currents based on the distribution of ions in the water. These currents are converted into corresponding voltage signals by the TDS electrode assembly's conversion circuit. After A / D conversion by the TDS electrode assembly, the EC conductivity data of the water being tested is obtained and sent to the CPU. The CPU calculates the TDS total dissolved solids data based on the temperature data, EC conductivity data, the temperature compensation algorithm, and the calibration values ​​of the corresponding water quality parameters. The temperature compensation algorithm is a relationship between temperature, conductivity, and total dissolved solids obtained through curve fitting after multi-point sampling.

[0039] The detection principle of UV transmittance, TOC (Total Organic Carbon), and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) data in water quality testing equipment is as follows: The central processing unit (CPU) has a pre-set relationship between UV transmittance and TOC / COD. The UV transceiver unit contacts the water being tested and emits 275nm UV light. The receiving end of the transceiver unit receives the UV light and converts the light intensity into a corresponding voltage signal via its conversion circuit. After A / D conversion, the UV transmittance data of the water being tested is obtained and sent to the CPU. The CPU calculates the TOC and COD data based on the relationship between UV transmittance and TOC / COD, along with the calibration values ​​of the corresponding water quality parameters. The relationship between UV transmittance and TOC / COD is obtained through curve fitting after multi-point sampling.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
