具体实施方式
下面详细描述本发明的实施例，所述实施例的示例在附图中示出，其中自始至终相同或类似的标号表示相同或类似的元件或具有相同或类似功能的元件。下面通过参考附图描述的实施例是示例性的，仅用于解释本发明，而不能理解为对本发明的限制。
在本发明的描述中，需要理解的是，术语“中心”、“上”、“下”、“前”、“后”、“左”、“右”、“竖直”、“水平”、“顶”、“底”“内”、“外”等指示的方位或位置关系为基于附图所示的方位 或位置关系，仅是为了便于描述本发明和简化描述，而不是指示或暗示所指的装置或元件必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操作，因此不能理解为对本发明的限制。

下面参考图1-图2描述根据本发明实施例的饮品机100的控制方法。其中，饮品机100可以为咖啡机等。在本申请下面的描述中，以饮品机100为咖啡机为例进行说明。
如图1所示，根据本发明实施例的饮品机100的控制方法，饮品机100例如咖啡机等包括锅炉1、酿造腔3、连接在锅炉1和酿造腔3之间的液泵2，锅炉1上设置有液位感应装置(图未示出)和温度感应器13，可选地，液位感应装置可以为液位感应棒，用于检测锅炉1内的最低液位。由此，可方便地监测锅炉1内的液位情况。
可选地，温度感应器13可为热敏电阻，但不限于此。由此，可通过温度感应器13的感应功能感应锅炉1内的液体是否达到预设温度，从而可改善饮品的口感，满足用户对饮品的品质的要求，且可以防止锅炉1内的液体过热，提高饮品机100的安全性。
锅炉1通过加热装置12对锅炉1内的液体进行加热。液泵2例如水泵可将锅炉1内的液体例如水等输送至酿造腔3中。
具体地，参照图1，锅炉1的底部设有出液口11，液泵2上设有进液管21和出液管22。其中，进液管21与出液口11相连，出液管22与酿造腔3相连，由此，便于液泵2将锅炉1内的液体输送至酿造腔3中。
其中，锅炉1优选为非密闭容器，例如，可以将锅炉1的顶部敞开设置，使得锅炉1与外部大气连通，由此，可有效地降低安全隐患，提高饮品机100的安全性和可靠性。
进一步地，锅炉1上或者锅炉1的上方设有锅炉盖(图未示出)，其中锅炉盖可以为手动或者自动开盖。由此，可有效地防止灰尘等落入锅炉1内，且可防止锅炉1内的液体溅出。
具体地，参照图2，饮品机100的控制方法包括以下步骤：
启动加热装置12，对锅炉1内的液体进行加热；
检测锅炉1内的液体是否达到预设温度；
当锅炉1内的液体达到预设温度时，加热装置12停止工作并经过第一预设时间t1后启动液泵2；
液泵2抽水输出至酿造腔3，当锅炉1内的水位到达液位感应装置所检测的水位例如最低液位线时，液泵2继续工作t2时间直至酿造工作结束。例如，在酿造饮品例如咖啡时，在液位感应装置感应到锅炉1内的液位达到液位感应装置所检测的水位例如最低液位线时，开始对t2进行计时。由此，可确保向酿造腔3内加入不同量的液体时，液泵2抽气的时间可以保持一致，从而可以保证将酿造腔3内的残留液体吹干。
例如，在酿造饮品例如咖啡时，可先启动加热装置12例如发热管等，对锅炉1内的液 体例如水等进行加热，当锅炉1内的液体达到预设温度时，加热装置12停止工作并经过第一预设时间t1启动液泵2，此时在该第一预设时间t1内，可均匀加热装置12例如发热管等的余热，即利用加热装置12的余热继续加热锅炉1内的液体，使得液体如水的温度稳定、从而酿造的饮品温度稳定，保证饮品例如咖啡的口感，此外，还极大地节省了能源，避免了能量的浪费。
液泵2抽水输出至酿造腔3，当锅炉1内的水位到达液位感应装置所检测的水位时，液泵2继续工作t2时间直至酿造工作结束。由此，当液泵2将锅炉1内的液体全部输送至酿造腔3内(即锅炉1内的液体全部抽干)后，在液泵2的作用下，可继续向酿造腔3内输送气体，从而可以吹干酿造腔3内残留的液体，降低了酿造腔3的清理难度，且可在取出酿造腔3时，避免酿造腔3内残余的饮品到处滴落弄脏周边的环境。
根据本发明实施例的饮品机100的控制方法，通过在锅炉1内的液体达到预设温度后，控制加热装置12停止工作并停顿第一预设时间后启动液泵2，充分地利用了加热装置12中的余热，使得液体如水的温度稳定、从而酿造的饮品温度稳定，保证饮品例如咖啡的口感。此外，还极大地节省了能源，降低了饮品机100的能量消耗。
根据本发明的一些实施例，第一预设时间t1满足：5s≤t1≤10s。其中，第一预设时间t1的具体数值可以根据实际需要设定。例如，t1可以进一步满足：t1＝5s(秒)等。由此，可充分利用加热装置12中的余热，且可以缩短酿造饮品的整体时间。
具体地，t2满足：20s≤t2≤30s。例如，t2可以进一步满足：t2＝30s等。由此，可以保证吹干酿造腔3内残留的液体。
可选地，预设温度为T，T满足：80℃≤T≤90℃。其具体数值可以根据饮品的要求设定。
根据本发明的一些实施例，加热装置12的工作时间为t3，t3满足：t3≤120s。由此，可将锅炉1内的液体加热至预设温度，且可缩短酿造饮品的整体时间。
进一步地，饮品机100还包括：计时器(图未示出)和突跳式温控器(图未示出)，计时器设置在饮品机100上，突跳式温控器设置在锅炉1上，例如，可在锅炉1的底面上设置突跳式温控器。
根据本发明的一些实施例，饮品机100的控制方法还包括步骤：当锅炉内的液体到达预设温度T时控制饮品机100断电；或者当温度感应器13例如热敏电阻失效时，锅炉1的温度到达突跳式温控器的温度点时，突跳式温控器控制饮品机100断电；或者当温度感应器13和突跳式温控器均失效时，计时器从加热开始计时，计时至t5时间时，控制饮品机100断电。由此，可通过温度感应器13、突跳式温控器和计时器对饮品机100进行三重保护，从而极大地降低了安全隐患，保证饮品机100的使用安全。
具体地，t5满足：120s≤t5≤180s。由此，可以通过计时器计时的方式防止锅炉1受热时间过长，从而可以缩短酿造饮品的整体时间。此外，还进一步地降低了安全隐患，提高了饮品机100的安全性。
当然，可以理解的是，还可以在锅炉1的底面设置熔断器以防止温度过热，起到安全保护作用。
根据本发明的一些实施例，在启动加热装置12之前，还包括步骤：检测锅炉1内的液位是否达到预设液位。例如，可通过锅炉1内的液位感应装置例如液位感应棒等检测锅炉1内液体的液位。由此，便于监测锅炉1内的液体是否达到酿造饮品的要求，从而可以有效地改善饮品的口感。
具体地，饮品机100包括可拆卸的酿造机构(图未示出)，酿造机构具有酿造腔3，在启动加热装置12之前，还包括步骤：检测酿造机构是否安装到位。其中，优选在检测酿造机构是否安装到位之后，检测锅炉1内的液位是否到达预设液位。
进一步地，饮品机100还包括工作状态指示灯(图未示出)，当饮品机100处于异常状态时，工作状态指示灯快速闪烁。这里，需要说明的是，本申请中的“异常状态”酿造机构未安装到位或锅炉1内的液位未达到预设液位等。
例如，当检测到锅炉1内的液位未达到预设液位线时，可设定工作状态指示灯快速闪烁，例如，设定工作状态指示灯以200ms(毫秒)周期快速闪烁，以提醒用户调整锅炉1内的液位。由此，便于监测锅炉1内的液体是否达到酿造饮品的要求，从而可以有效地改善饮品的口感。
此外，还可在酿造机构上设置安全开关。当酿造机构安装到位时，可以触动安全开关，酿造机构通电，可以继续酿造饮品例如咖啡等。当酿造机构的位置偏离正确位置时，可设置错误提示，例如设定工作状态指示灯以200ms周期快速闪烁，以提醒用户调整酿造机构的位置。由此，可防止饮品机100在酿造机构装偏的情况下工作，从而可有效地降低安全隐患，进一步地提高了饮品机100的安全性和可靠性。
根据本发明的一些实施例，液泵2将锅炉1内的液体全部输送至酿造腔3所需的时间为t4，t4满足：35s≤t4≤60s。由此，不仅能满足酿造饮品的液体量要求，还缩短了酿造饮品的整体时间。
下面参考图2描述根据本发明实施例的饮品机100的控制方法的一个具体实施例。
根据本发明实施例的饮品机100的控制方法包括以下步骤：
检测酿造机构是否安装到位；
检测锅炉1内的液位是否达到预设液位；
启动加热装置12，对锅炉1内的液体进行加热；
检测锅炉1内的液体是否达到预设温度或加热装置12工作时间是否达到120s；
当锅炉1内的液体达到预设温度时或加热装置12工作时间是否达到120s时，加热装置12停止工作并经过5s后启动液泵2；
当锅炉1内的水位到达最低液位线时，液泵2继续工作30s。
例如，在酿造咖啡时，先将咖啡机连接至电源，此时，咖啡机上的工作状态指示灯亮，并进入待机状态；
向锅炉1内加入适量的水，按下饮品机100的开始开关，检测酿造机构是否安装到位，当酿造机构的位置不正确时，工作状态指示灯以200ms周期快速闪烁提示用户调整酿造机构的位置，直至酿造机构的位置安装到位后，检测锅炉1内的液位是否达到预设液位；
当锅炉1内的液位没有达到预设液位时，工作状态指示灯以200ms周期快速闪烁提示用户调整锅炉1内的液位，直至锅炉1内的液位达到预设液位时，启动发热管对锅炉1内的水进行加热；
当锅炉1内的水达到80℃时，或者发热管工作时间达到120s时，发热管停止工作，并经过5s后启动液泵2；
当锅炉1内的水位到达最低液位线时，液泵2继续工作30s。
根据本发明实施例的饮品机100的控制方法，充分地利用了加热装置12中的余热，极大地节省了能源，降低了饮品机100的能量消耗。此外，还提升了饮品的口感。
在本说明书的描述中，参考术语“一个实施例”、“一些实施例”、“示意性实施例”、“示例”、“具体示例”、或“一些示例”等的描述意指结合该实施例或示例描述的具体特征、结构、材料或者特点包含于本发明的至少一个实施例或示例中。在本说明书中，对上述术语的示意性表述不一定指的是相同的实施例或示例。而且，描述的具体特征、结构、材料或者特点可以在任何的一个或多个实施例或示例中以合适的方式结合。
尽管已经示出和描述了本发明的实施例，本领域的普通技术人员可以理解：在不脱离本发明的原理和宗旨的情况下可以对这些实施例进行多种变化、修改、替换和变型，本发明的范围由权利要求及其等同物限定。
