Generally, when a user obtains hot water through heating of a water heater in winter, when a hot water switch of a water faucet is just turned on, cold water or hot water is often discharged for a period of time, and hot water is only discharged after a certain period of time.
In order to solve the above problems, in this embodiment, before the water outlet of the hot water pipe of the water heater is opened, water in the hot water pipe may be transferred to a standby pipe, the water heater is controlled to start heating, and water heated by the water heater flows into the hot water pipe, so that before the water outlet of the hot water pipe of the water heater is opened, water in the hot water pipe is transferred to the standby pipe, and water heated by the water heater flows into the hot water pipe, so that after the water outlet of the hot water pipe of the water heater is opened, a user can use hot water heated by the water heater in time, and at the same time, cold water flowing out of the hot water pipe is transferred to other standby pipes for reuse, thereby also avoiding waste of cold water resources to a certain extent.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of a water heater according to an exemplary embodiment, where the control method of the water heater is used in a water heater or the like, as shown in fig. 1, and includes the following steps 101 and 102:
in step 101, water in a hot water pipe of the water heater is transferred to a standby pipe before an outlet of the hot water pipe is opened.
In step 102, the water heater is controlled to start heating, and water heated by the water heater is controlled to flow into the hot water pipeline.
Here, the hot water pipe refers to a pipe through which hot water heated by the water heater flows, and when a user uses hot water, the water heater can open a switch of a water outlet of the hot water pipe to enable the hot water to flow out of the water outlet for the user to use. The standby pipeline can be a cold water pipeline or a water inlet pipeline of a water heater and the like.
Here, the water heater can switch on the hot water pipeline to the spare pipeline, sets up first switch at the kneck of hot water pipeline and spare pipeline, and the water heater can control before opening the delivery port of the hot water pipeline of water heater and open this first switch for rivers in the hot water pipeline flow into this spare pipeline, and of course, if the water pressure is not enough when rivers in the hot water pipeline to the spare pipeline, also can set up first water pump at spare pipeline or kneck, control this first water pump and go into this spare pipeline with the water pump in the hot water pipeline. Here, the water heater may open the outlet of the hot water pipe of the water heater when the start instruction is received, and transfer the water in the hot water pipe to the standby pipe before opening the outlet of the hot water pipe of the water heater.
The water heater can control the water heater to start heating when water in the hot water pipeline is transferred to the standby pipeline, and when the water heater is heated, hot water with a certain temperature can be discharged after waiting for a period of time. When opening the switch of the delivery port of hot water pipeline like this, because the cold water in the hot water pipeline has been shifted to reserve pipeline, the hot water of water heater heating has flowed into the hot water pipeline, so the hot water pipeline can directly flow out hot water for the user, and like this, the user can directly use hot water, and more importantly, the cold water that the hot water pipeline flows out is shifted other reserve pipelines so that reuse, has also avoided the cold water wasting of resources to a certain extent.
It should be noted here that the water outlet of the hot water device of the water heater may not be provided with a switch, so that when the water in the hot water pipeline is transferred to the standby pipeline by the water heater, the water heated by the water heater also flows into the hot water pipeline, at this time, a temperature sensor may be arranged at a joint of the hot water pipeline and the standby pipeline, so that when the water in the hot water pipeline is continuously pumped out and transferred to the standby pipeline, if it is detected that the temperature of the water pumped out from the hot water pipeline reaches a preset temperature, such as a hot water temperature that a user is accustomed to, the first switch may be turned off, the transfer of the water in the hot water pipeline to the standby pipeline is stopped, at this time, the water in the hot water pipeline reaches the preset temperature, and a large amount of cold water is still present.
In this embodiment, before the water outlet of the hot water pipe of the water heater is opened, water in the hot water pipe is transferred to the standby pipe, the water heater is controlled to start heating, and water heated by the water heater flows into the hot water pipe, so that before the water outlet of the hot water pipe of the water heater is opened, water in the hot water pipe is transferred to the standby pipe, and water heated by the water heater flows into the hot water pipe, so that after the water outlet of the hot water pipe of the water heater is opened, a user can use hot water heated by the water heater, and meanwhile, cold water flowing out of the hot water pipe is transferred to other standby pipes to be reused, thereby avoiding waste of cold water resources to a certain extent.
In a possible implementation manner, the control method of the water heater may further include the following step a1, and the step 101 may be implemented as the following step a 2.
In step a1, a water usage time of the user is acquired.
In step a2, the water in the hot water pipe is transferred to the standby pipe before the time when the user is used to water.
Here, the user can install the client of the water heater on the user terminal such as a mobile phone, and the water heater is bound through the client, the user inputs the water use habit time of the user on the client, and after the client on the terminal obtains the water use habit time, the client on the terminal can synchronize the water use habit time of the user to the water heater bound with the terminal, so that the water heater can obtain the water use habit time of the user.
Or, the water heater may also obtain the water use habit time of the user according to the water use habit information of the user, where the water use habit information may be information of using hot water that is used by different users in a household, such as time of using hot water each time. If the user uses the water heater, the water heater can acquire the historical water consumption information of each user in the family from the application server of the water heater, and the historical water consumption information is used as the habit water consumption information of the user. If the user uses the water heater for the first time, the water heater can acquire the identity information of the user, such as age, sex, occupation and the like, through a connection network, and the habit water information of similar crowds is acquired through networking search according to the identity information of the user, and the habit water information of the belonged crowds is used as the habit water information of the users. Or, the user may install a client of the water heater on a user terminal, such as a mobile phone, etc., bind the water heater through the client, the user inputs the habit water information of the user on the client, and the client on the terminal can send the habit water information of the user to the water heater after acquiring the habit water information of the user. Of course, the water heater may also use other ways to obtain the habit water information of the user, and the details are not described herein. After the water heater acquires the habit water information of the user, the habit water using time of the user can be determined according to the habit water information of the user.
Here, after the water heater acquires the user's habit water moment, can transfer the water in the hot water pipeline to the spare pipeline by the time of presetting before the user's habit water moment, for example, the habit water moment of acquiring the user is 21: 00, a preset time period, such as 10 minutes, 20: and 50, the terminal can transfer the water in the hot water pipeline to a standby pipeline, and simultaneously, the terminal can control the water heater to start heating and control the water heated by the water heater to flow into the hot water pipeline. Thus, when the user is at 21: when the hot water valve is opened about 00 ℃ to use hot water, because cold water in the hot water pipeline is transferred to the standby pipeline, hot water heated by the water heater flows into the hot water pipeline, and can directly flow out hot water for a user, so that the user can use the hot water in time, and the user can experience the use pleasure of instant heating and instant heating; more importantly, the cold water flowing out of the hot water pipeline is transferred to other standby pipelines for reuse, and the waste of cold water resources to a certain extent is also avoided.
According to the embodiment, the habit water of the user can be acquired, so that the water in the hot water pipeline can be transferred to the standby pipeline in advance before the habit water of the user is used, and meanwhile, the water in the hot water pipeline can be controlled to flow into the hot water pipeline, so that the water in the hot water pipeline is transferred to the standby pipeline before the user uses the hot water pipeline and flows into the hot water pipeline after the water heater is heated, the user does not need to wait for the hot water heated by the water heater in use in time, and the user can experience the use pleasure of instant heating.
In a possible implementation, step 101 in the control method of the water heater described above may be implemented as the following steps B1 and B2.
In step B1, the temperature of the water within the hot water pipe is detected.
In step B2, when the temperature is less than or equal to a preset temperature, the water in the hot water pipe is transferred to a standby pipe.
Here, before the user uses the hot water each time, the water in the hot water pipe may be hot or cold, when the water in the hot water pipe is hot, the water in the hot water pipe does not need to be transferred, and when the user opens the switch of the water outlet of the hot water pipe to use the hot water, the water flowing out of the hot water pipe is the hot water; when the water in the hot water pipeline is cold water, the water in the hot water pipeline needs to be transferred, and the cold water in the hot water pipeline is changed into the hot water heated by the water heater. Therefore, a temperature sensor may be provided on the hot water pipe of the water heater, the temperature sensor being for measuring the temperature of the water in the hot water pipe. When the temperature is higher than the preset temperature, the water in the hot water pipeline is indicated to be hot enough, the water in the hot water pipeline does not need to be transferred, when a user opens a switch at the water outlet of the hot water pipeline to use hot water, the water flowing out of the hot water pipeline is the hot water, and the user can use the hot water in time. When the temperature is lower than or equal to the preset temperature, the water in the hot water pipeline is not hot enough, the water in the hot water pipeline needs to be transferred, and at the moment, the water in the hot water pipeline is transferred to the standby pipeline.
This embodiment is only when detecting the temperature less than or equal to of the water in the hot water pipeline and predetermineeing the temperature, just control the water pump and shift the water in the hot water pipeline to spare pipeline, reduces the transfer number of times of hot water pipeline water-logging, reduces the resource consumption, has also avoided hot water to be shifted out to become cold in the hot water pipeline and extravagant hot water resource.
In a possible implementation, the control method of the water heater may further include the following step C1, and after the step 103, the method further includes the following step C2.
In step C1, when the water outlet of the hot water pipe is closed and the amount of water heated by the water heater entering and exiting the hot water pipe is detected to meet a preset condition, pumping the water heated by the water heater into the heat preservation cavity for caching.
In step C2, controlling the water cached in the heat preservation cavity to flow into the hot water pipeline.
Here, can set up a heat preservation chamber on the water heater, this heat preservation chamber is used for buffering the hot water after this water heater heats, installs rivers monitoring devices on the water heater, after the water heater starts to heat, when the hot water pipeline delivery port is closed, show that the user does not need to use hot water this moment, monitor the hot water volume that flows into this hot water pipeline from the heating device of water heater this moment and compare with the water volume that flows out from the hot water pipeline, the volume of going out satisfies the preset condition such as the volume difference of going out and going out is hot water pipeline capacity or more than 70% of hot water pipeline capacity, just indicates that there is sufficient hot water in the hot water pipeline, just can go into the heat preservation chamber buffer memory with the water after heating in the water heater this moment, the hot water of. Therefore, when the hot water in the hot water pipeline is cooled, and the water heater transfers the water in the hot water pipeline to the standby pipeline, the water outlet valve of the heat preservation cavity can be opened, so that the hot water cached in the heat preservation cavity flows into the hot water pipeline. Of course, the hot water in the thermal insulation chamber may not be enough to fill the hot water pipe, and at this time, the hot water heated in the hot water device of the water heater may continue to flow into the hot water pipe. Of course, when the hot water pipeline is monitored to be full, the hot water heated in the hot water device can be continuously pumped into the heat preservation cavity for preservation.
This embodiment can set up the heat preservation chamber on the water heater, and good hot water is cached in this heat preservation intracavity in advance, and after this water with the hot water pipeline in shifts to spare pipeline, this hot water pipeline is gone into to hot water pump with the heat preservation intracavity buffer memory for can be full of hot water fast in this hot water pipeline, improve and trade water speed.
In a possible implementation, step 101 in the control method of the water heater described above may be implemented as the following steps D1 to D3.
In step D1, a start instruction is received, the start instruction being used to inform the user to start using hot water.
In step D2, the water in the hot water pipe is transferred to the standby pipe.
In step D3, the outlet of the hot water pipe is opened.
Here, the predicted water use time of the water heater may be inaccurate, which may cause that the hot water resource of the water heater may be wasted if the user does not use the water heater at the test time, or the water flowing out of the hot water pipeline is still cold water when the user uses the water heater at the non-predicted time, in order to solve the problem, in this embodiment, the water heater may receive a start instruction when the user turns on a start switch of the water heater, the start instruction is used to inform the user to start using the hot water, at this time, the water heater may not turn on a water outlet of the hot water pipeline, but first transfers the water in the hot water pipeline to a standby pipeline, the water heater starts heating while transferring, and simultaneously turns off a switch of a heating device of the water heater; after the water in the hot water pipeline is completely transferred to the standby pipeline, the switch of the heating device of the water heater is turned on, and the water outlet of the hot water pipeline is turned on at the same time, so that the water heated by the water heater can flow out through the hot water pipeline for users to use.
This embodiment can just shift the water in the hot water pipeline to when user input start instruction spare pipeline to open the delivery port of hot water pipeline after shifting, make the water of water heater heating flow out through hot water pipeline, the accurate user of guaranteeing can both shift the water in the hot water pipeline to spare pipeline when using the water heater at every turn, and make the rivers of water heater heating go into hot water pipeline, make after opening the delivery port of the hot water pipeline of water heater, the user can use the hot water after the heating of water heater heating.
