Detailed description of the invention
For making object of the present invention, technical scheme and advantage clearly understand, below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the present invention is described in further detail.Should be appreciated that detailed description of the invention described herein only in order to explain the present invention, do not limit protection scope of the present invention.
In the following description, the embodiment first for the water outlet control method of drinking water dispenser is described, then is described each embodiment of the outlet controlling system of drinking water dispenser of the present invention.
Embodiment one
Shown in Figure 1, be the schematic flow sheet of the embodiment one of the water outlet control method of drinking water dispenser of the present invention.As shown in Figure 1, the water outlet control method of the drinking water dispenser in the present embodiment comprises the steps:
Step S101: obtain the echo-signal that ultrasonic sensor detects, wherein, described ultrasonic sensor is arranged on drinking water dispenser water outlet;
The number of ultrasonic sensor can be chosen according to actual needs, in order to realize the automatic control to water outlet, general needs at least two ultrasonic sensors, for this reason, wherein in an embodiment, the number of described ultrasonic sensor at least comprises two, wherein, a ultrasonic sensor is for launching ultrasonic wave, at least one ultrasonic sensor is for receiving ultrasonic wave, that is, can be that a ultrasonic sensor is for launching ultrasonic wave, one or more ultrasonic sensor is for receiving ultrasonic wave, the stronger ultrasonic wave of a ultrasonic sensor emissive porwer can be passed through, echo-signal is that this ultrasonic signal is through shelf, signal after the reflection such as water container or the water surface, echo-signal is by detecting for receiving hyperacoustic ultrasonic sensor, but it should be noted that, be not limited at least two ultrasonic sensors,
Step S102: according to described echo-signal and the distance between the described ultrasonic sensor prestored and the shelf of described drinking water dispenser, judge whether that water container is placed between described delivery port and described shelf, if so, then step S103 is entered;
Wherein, water container is placed between described delivery port and shelf and generally refers to that water container is placed on described shelf, can certainly be that water container is suspended from described water container puts, and such as, user is with hand-held cup;
When hyperacoustic propagation distance is different, propagation time is also different, therefore, the first required propagation time can be propagated between ultrasonic sensor and shelf according to the distance determination ultrasonic wave between ultrasonic sensor and shelf, if and placed water container between described delivery port and described shelf, propagation distance reduces, propagation time also reduces accordingly, simultaneously ultrasonic wave run into when propagating water container along time, have more energy to be reflected, therefore, container is also stronger along the intensity of the echo-signal of reflection, thus, if described echo-signal has the sudden change of intensity (generally referring to unexpected increase) being less than the point sometime in described first propagation time (or sometime scope in), then can be judged to be that water container is placed between described delivery port and described shelf,
As shown in Figure 2, for certain detect time, without the echo-signal of water container oscillogram 2 (a) and have the oscillogram 2 (b) of echo-signal of water container, known by Fig. 2 (a), echo-signal intensity after M point obviously strengthens, can determine that the first propagation time was 1.15ms, and it is known by Fig. 2 (b), before M point, there is sudden change in hyperacoustic echo signal intensity, whether also demonstrate of the present inventionly has the water container mode be placed between described delivery port and described shelf to be feasible according to described echo-signal and described Distance Judgment,
