Description

Liquid heating container, heating control method and heating control device thereof

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of household appliances, in particular to a heating control method and a heating control device for a liquid heating container and the liquid heating container comprising the heating control device.

Background

Domestic consumers have long had the recognition that tap water must be boiled before drinking. However, due to the development of water purification technology, water purifiers have become popular at present, and tap water can be directly drunk after being treated by the water purifiers; on the other hand, more and more consumers select water with better water quality such as mineral water for direct drinking, and the water sources can be used without heating to boil.

However, the existing liquid heating containers in the market, such as electric hot water bottles, generally have only one heating mode, and any kind of liquid can only be directly heated to boiling, so that consumers can drink the liquid after the liquid is cooled to a proper temperature, and the waiting time of the consumers is long, and electric energy is wasted.

Disclosure of Invention

In order to solve at least one of the above technical problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a heating control method for a liquid heating vessel.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a heating control device for a liquid heating vessel.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a liquid heating vessel incorporating the above-described heating control device.

In order to achieve the above object, an embodiment of a first aspect of the present invention provides a heating control method for a liquid heating container, where the liquid heating container includes a liner for containing liquid, a heating assembly for heating the liquid in the liner, and a cooling device for cooling the liquid in the liner; the heating control method includes: receiving a heating instruction and a temperature setting instruction; determining a heating mode corresponding to the heating instruction; when the heating instruction corresponds to a first heating mode, starting a heating assembly to heat the liquid to boiling, and then naturally cooling the liquid to a preset temperature or starting a cooling device to cool the liquid to the preset temperature; and when the heating instruction corresponds to the second heating mode, starting the heating assembly to directly heat the liquid to a preset temperature.

In the heating control method for the liquid heating container provided by the embodiment of the first aspect of the invention, the heating instruction can correspond to a plurality of different heating modes, so that the liquid heating container has a plurality of different heating modes, and further, a proper heating mode can be selected according to different liquid-containing modes (or different water qualities) or according to specific requirements of users, so that the requirements of the users are better met, the use experience of the users is improved, and the market competitiveness of products is increased.

Specifically, the liquid heating container comprises an inner container for containing liquid and a heating assembly for heating the liquid in the inner container; when the liquid heating container operates in the first heating mode, the heating assembly directly heats the liquid in the inner container to boiling, so that the liquid with relatively poor quality (such as unpurified tap water) can be boiled, and the drinking safety of a user is ensured; when the liquid heating container operates in the second heating mode, the heating assembly directly heats the liquid in the inner container to the preset temperature, namely the heating is stopped, so that the situation that liquid with relatively good quality (such as purified tap water or mineral water and other directly drinkable liquid) is required to be heated to be boiled is avoided, the waiting time of a user is further avoided to be too long, and electric energy is saved; therefore, the user can select different heating modes according to different water qualities, so that the selection range of the user is enlarged, and the user requirements are better met.

Through the temperature setting instruction, a user can independently select the required liquid temperature, and the liquid heating container can obtain the liquid at the temperature required by the user no matter in the first heating mode or the second heating mode, so that the user requirement is met, and the waiting time of the user is reduced as much as possible; meanwhile, the user can select different heating modes according to different liquids, and further select proper set temperature according to personal taste or living habits, so that different requirements of different users are further met, user experience is effectively improved, and market competitiveness of products is improved. The sequence of the heating instruction and the temperature setting instruction is not limited, and the temperature setting instruction may precede the heating instruction, or the heating instruction may precede the heating instruction.

More specifically, the liquid heating container also comprises a cooling device for cooling the liquid in the inner container; for the first heating mode, after receiving a temperature setting instruction, the heating assembly is started to heat the liquid in the inner container to boiling so as to ensure the drinking safety of a user; then, the heating assembly is closed, so that the liquid is naturally cooled to a preset temperature; or the heating assembly is closed and the cooling device is also opened at the same time, so that the liquid in the liner is rapidly cooled to the preset temperature, and the cooling speed of the liquid in the liner is effectively increased due to the auxiliary cooling of the cooling device, thereby reducing the waiting time of a user; for the second heating mode, the temperature setting instruction ensures that the preset temperature reached by the liquid in the second heating mode can be changed according to the requirements of the user, namely, the user can set different preset temperatures according to the requirements, so that different requirements of the user are further met, and the user is prevented from waiting for a long time.

In other words, in the above technical solution, the temperature setting instruction corresponds to a temperature setting (or temperature selection) function of the liquid heating container, the first heating mode corresponds to a boiling function of the liquid heating container (i.e. heating to boiling and stopping heating), the second heating mode corresponds to a direct-heating function of the liquid heating container (i.e. heating only to a preset temperature and stopping heating), and among the three functions, the boiling function and the direct-heating function are parallel to each other, and the temperature setting (or temperature selection) function can be used in combination with both the boiling function and the direct-heating function, but can obtain a liquid at a temperature set by a user, and the difference lies in that: when the boiling function is used together with the liquid in the inner container, the liquid in the inner container is heated to boiling and then cooled to the temperature set by a user (natural cooling or active cooling can be performed); when the heating mode is combined with the second heating mode, the liquid in the inner container is directly heated to the temperature set by the user, and the heating is stopped.

Such as: if tap water is contained in the inner container, a user thinks that the water can be drunk after boiling, and needs water at 55 ℃, then the user selects a first heating mode, the temperature is set to be 55 ℃, and the water is heated to boil and then is cooled to 55 ℃; if purified tap water or mineral water is filled in the inner container and the user thinks that the water can be drunk without boiling, the user can select the second heating mode, the temperature is set to be 55 ℃, the water is stopped heating to 55 ℃, and the waiting time of the user can be shortened.

It should be noted that if no temperature setting instruction is received, the direct-heating function or the boiling function is operated independently, and is not used together with the temperature setting (or temperature selection) function; for the direct-heating function, the heating component directly heats the liquid in the inner container to boiling and then automatically stops heating; for the boiling function, if the boiling function is not used together with the temperature setting (or temperature selection) function, the heating component stops heating after the liquid in the inner container is boiled, and the cooling device cannot be automatically started; therefore, in this case, since the heating results of the direct-fired function alone and the boiling function alone are the same, it is generally preferable to use the direct-fired function in combination with a temperature setting (or temperature selection) function, and the set temperature is generally lower than the boiling temperature of the liquid.

In addition, the heating control method for the liquid heating container in the above embodiment of the present invention may further have the following additional technical features:

in the above technical solution, the step of "determining the heating mode corresponding to the heating instruction" specifically includes: judging the type of the heating instruction; and when the heating instruction is a manual heating instruction, selecting a corresponding heating mode according to the type of the manual heating instruction.

The type of the heating instruction is judged firstly, the heating mode of the liquid heating container is determined according to the type of the heating instruction, the control process is scientific and reasonable, and the operation is reliable. Specifically, when the heating instruction is determined to be a manual heating instruction (i.e. the heating mode is manually selected by the user), the heating mode corresponding to the manual heating instruction is selected directly according to the type of the manual heating instruction (boiling instruction or direct-fired instruction), and the scheme is equivalent to determining the heating mode to be operated by the liquid heating container according to the selection of the user, namely: the heating mode adopted by the liquid heating container is completely determined by the user's self-selection, so that the user can select the heating mode meeting the self-demand according to the self-knowledge (such as the water quality of different water sources such as unpurified tap water, purified tap water or mineral water) of the liquid in the inner container and the personal preference or living habit of the user, and the operation is simple and convenient.

In other words, the manual heating instruction corresponds to the manual control of the heating function, so that the user can freely select the 'boiling' function or the 'direct-heating' function according to the self requirement, and the instant requirement of the user is greatly met.

In the above technical solution, the step of "determining the heating mode corresponding to the heating instruction" further includes: and when the heating instruction is an automatic heating instruction, detecting the attribute information of the liquid, and selecting a heating mode corresponding to the detection result according to the detection result.

This scheme is on manual control's basis for liquid heating container has still had intelligent heating function, thereby has further promoted the grade of product, has improved user's use comfort. Specifically, when the heating instruction is determined to be an automatic heating instruction, the property information of the liquid in the inner container, such as the components, hardness, mineral content, TDS value, etc., is detected to determine the type of the liquid, and then the heating mode corresponding to the detection result is selected according to the detection result, that is: the liquid heating container adopts which kind of heating mode, carries out the automatic selection by the product after detecting by oneself, like this, even the user has forgotten or does not know the kind of the liquid of splendid attire in the inner bag, machine itself also can select the most suitable heating mode to both guarantee the security that the user drunk, minimize user's latency again, therefore more intelligent, the grade is higher.

Such as: can set up the TDS meter in the inner bag and detect the TDS value of liquid, distinguish quality of water through the specific size of TDS value and the matching of the predetermined TDS scope of various quality of water, and then select corresponding heating mode, the predetermined TDS scope of like the running water is [ X₁-X₂]The predetermined TDS range of purified water or purified tap water is [ X ]₃-X₄]When the TDS value detected by the TDS meter is [ X ]₁-X₂]When the TDS value is in the range, the first heating mode is automatically selected, and when the TDS value detected by the TDS meter is [ X ]₃-X₄]When the range is within, the second heating mode is automatically selected.

It is understood that TDS (total Dissolved solids), known as total Dissolved solids and measured in milligrams per liter (mg/L), indicates how many milligrams Dissolved solids are Dissolved in 1L water and higher TDS values indicate more Dissolved material in the water.

Of course, the method for detecting water quality is not limited to the TDS meter, and other tools may be used to detect other attribute information of the liquid, and the method is not departing from the concept and spirit of the present invention.

In any of the above technical solutions, the liquid heating container further includes a heat preservation assembly for heat preservation and heating of the liquid in the inner container; and when the liquid reaches the preset temperature, starting the heat preservation assembly to heat and preserve the heat of the liquid.

No matter the boiling function (namely the first heating mode) is adopted to boil the liquid and then reduce the temperature to the preset temperature, or the direct heating function (namely the second heating mode) is adopted to directly heat the liquid to the preset temperature, the liquid heating container is operated in a heat preservation mode to supplement the heat dissipated by the liquid in the inner container, so that the heat is maintained near the set temperature, and a user only needs to heat once to obtain the liquid with the proper temperature in a relatively long period of time at any time, so that the use experience effect is better.

Of course, when the liquid reaches the preset temperature, the liquid heating container can also enter a standby mode, namely, the power supply of the machine is in a switch-on state, but the heating assembly, the heat preservation assembly, the cooling device and other structures do not work, and then the liquid in the inner container is naturally cooled.

It should be explained that, in the process of heating operation and heat preservation operation, the product needs to heat the liquid, only the heating power is different, so the process of heating operation and the process of heat preservation operation can be completed by the same heating device, the heating device has different heating power, high power is adopted in the heating operation, and low power is adopted in the heat preservation operation; of course, the heating operation and the holding operation can also be performed by two separate heating devices, namely: one as a heating component for heating operation and the other as a heat-preserving component for heat-preserving operation are within the scope of the present invention.

In any of the above technical solutions, in the process of starting the cooling device and cooling the liquid to the preset temperature, if an instruction to cancel cooling is received, the cooling device is closed.

According to the technical scheme, when the boiling function and the temperature setting (or temperature selection) function are used together, in the process of cooling after liquid boiling, a user can select to close the cooling device at any time to enable the liquid to be maintained at a relatively high temperature, the cooling device does not need to be stopped automatically when the liquid is not boiled, the control of a product is more flexible, and the use comfort level of the user is further improved; only when the boiling function and the temperature setting (or temperature selection) function are used together, the cooling device can be automatically opened after the liquid is boiled and automatically closed when the liquid is cooled to the set temperature, and manual control by a user is not needed.

Of course, no matter the boiling function heating liquid or the direct-heating function heating liquid is adopted, the user can manually open the cooling device at any time to carry out rapid cooling, or manually close the cooling device at any time to avoid the liquid cooling too fast.

In any of the above technical solutions, the liquid heating container further includes a reminding device for sending a reminding signal; and when the liquid reaches the preset temperature, starting a reminding device to send a reminding signal.

In the above technical solution, the reminding signal includes a sound signal and/or a light signal.

When the liquid temperature reaches the preset temperature, the reminding device is started to send out a reminding signal, so that a user does not need to keep in front of the liquid heating container and repeatedly check the liquid heating container before going to the machine once, and the information can be timely and accurately acquired, and the use comfort of the user is further improved.

Specifically, the reminding signal may be an audio signal, such as "dropping" sound, or playing a piece of music or playing a piece of voice; it can also be a light signal, such as a warning by flashing a signal light; or a combination of both. Of course, the reminding signal is not limited to the sound signal and/or the light signal, and is within the protection scope of the present invention as long as the reminding function is achieved.

In any of the above technical solutions, the preset temperature is a drinkable temperature, and the drinkable temperature range is [ T-5 ℃, T +5 ℃), where T is the current ambient temperature.

The water in the temperature range can not scald and feel ice when being drunk by a user, and the user has good taste and is relatively healthy.

Specifically, the liquid heating container comprises an inner container 10 for containing liquid and a heating assembly 11 for heating the liquid in the inner container 10; when the liquid heating container is operated in the first heating mode, the heating assembly 11 directly heats the liquid in the inner container 10 to boiling, so that the liquid with relatively poor quality (such as unpurified tap water) can be boiled, and the drinking safety of a user is ensured; when the liquid heating container operates in the second heating mode, the heating assembly 11 heats the liquid in the inner container 10 to a preset temperature, namely, the heating is stopped, so that the situation that liquid with relatively good quality (such as purified tap water or mineral water and other liquid which can be directly drunk) is heated to be boiling is avoided, the waiting time of a user is further avoided to be too long, and electric energy is saved; therefore, the user can select different heating modes according to different water qualities, so that the selection range of the user is enlarged, and the user requirements are better met.

Through the temperature setting instruction, a user can independently select the required liquid temperature, and the liquid heating container can obtain the liquid at the temperature required by the user no matter in the first heating mode or the second heating mode, so that the user requirement is met, and the waiting time of the user is reduced as much as possible; meanwhile, the user can select different heating modes according to different liquids, and further select proper set temperature according to personal taste or living habits, so that different requirements of different users are further met, user experience is effectively improved, and market competitiveness of products is improved.

The sequence of the heating instruction and the temperature setting instruction is not limited, and the temperature setting instruction may precede the heating instruction, or the heating instruction may precede the heating instruction.

More specifically, the liquid heating container further comprises a cooling device for cooling the liquid in the inner container 10; for the first heating mode, after receiving a temperature setting instruction, the heating assembly 11 is started to heat the liquid in the inner container 10 to boiling so as to ensure the drinking safety of a user; then the heating component 11 is closed to naturally cool the liquid to a preset temperature; or the heating assembly 11 is closed and the cooling device is also opened at the same time, so that the liquid in the liner 10 is rapidly cooled to the preset temperature, and the cooling speed of the liquid in the liner 10 is effectively increased due to the auxiliary cooling of the cooling device, thereby reducing the waiting time of a user; for the second heating mode, the temperature setting instruction ensures that the preset temperature reached by the liquid in the second heating mode can be changed according to the requirements of the user, namely, the user can set different preset temperatures according to the requirements, so that different requirements of the user are further met, and the user is prevented from waiting for a long time.

In other words, in the above technical solution, the temperature setting instruction corresponds to a temperature setting (or temperature selection) function of the liquid heating container, the first heating mode corresponds to a boiling function of the liquid heating container (i.e. heating to boiling and stopping heating), the second heating mode corresponds to a direct-heating function of the liquid heating container (i.e. heating only to a preset temperature and stopping heating), and among the three functions, the boiling function and the direct-heating function are parallel to each other, and the temperature setting (or temperature selection) function can be used in combination with both the boiling function and the direct-heating function, but can obtain a liquid at a temperature set by a user, and the difference lies in that: when the boiling function is used together, the liquid in the inner container 10 is heated to boiling and then cooled to the temperature set by the user (natural cooling or active cooling can be performed); when the heating mode is used together with the second heating mode, the liquid in the inner container 10 is directly heated to the temperature set by the user, and the heating is stopped.

Such as: if tap water is contained in the inner container 10, a user thinks that the water can be drunk only after boiling, and needs water at 55 ℃, then the user selects a first heating mode, the temperature is set to be 55 ℃, and the water is heated to boil and then is cooled to 55 ℃; if the purified tap water or mineral water is contained in the inner container 10 and the user thinks that the water can be drunk without boiling, the user can select the second heating mode, the temperature is set to 55 ℃, the water heating is stopped when the temperature is 55 ℃, and the waiting time of the user can be shortened.

It should be noted that if no temperature setting instruction is received, the direct-heating function or the boiling function is operated independently, and is not used together with the temperature setting (or temperature selection) function; for the direct heating function, the heating component 11 also directly heats the liquid in the inner container 10 to boiling, and then automatically stops heating; for the boiling function, if the boiling function is not used together with the temperature setting (or temperature selection) function, the heating component 11 stops heating after the liquid in the inner container 10 is boiled, and the cooling device cannot be automatically started; therefore, in this case, since the heating results of the direct-fired function alone and the boiling function alone are the same, it is generally preferable to use the direct-fired function in combination with a temperature setting (or temperature selection) function, and the set temperature is generally lower than the boiling temperature of the liquid.

In some embodiments of the present invention, further, as shown in fig. 2, step 104 specifically includes:

s1042: judging the type of the heating instruction;

s1044: and when the heating command is a manual heating command, selecting a heating mode corresponding to the manual heating command according to the type of the manual heating command.

The type of the heating instruction is judged firstly, the heating mode of the liquid heating container is determined according to the type of the heating instruction, the control process is scientific and reasonable, and the operation is reliable. Specifically, when the heating instruction is determined to be a manual heating instruction (i.e. the heating mode is manually selected by the user), the heating mode corresponding to the manual heating instruction is selected directly according to the type of the manual heating instruction (boiling instruction or direct-fired instruction), and the scheme is equivalent to determining the heating mode to be operated by the liquid heating container according to the selection of the user, namely: the heating mode adopted by the liquid heating container is completely determined by the user's own choice, so that the user can select the heating mode meeting the needs of the user according to the knowledge of the user about the liquid in the inner container 10 (such as the quality of water from different water sources such as unpurified tap water, purified tap water or mineral water) and the personal preference or living habits of the user, and the operation is simple and convenient.

Further, as shown in fig. 2, step S104 specifically includes:

s1046: and when the heating instruction is an automatic heating instruction, detecting the attribute information of the liquid, and selecting a heating mode corresponding to the detection result according to the detection result.

This scheme is on manual control's basis for liquid heating container has still had intelligent heating function, thereby has further promoted the grade of product, has improved user's use comfort. Specifically, when it is determined that the heating command is the automatic heating command, the property information of the liquid in the inner container 10, such as the composition, hardness, mineral content, TDS value, etc., is detected to determine the type of the liquid, and then the heating mode corresponding to the detected result is selected, that is: the liquid heating container adopts which heating mode, carries out automatic selection after detecting by the product is by oneself, like this, even the user has forgotten or does not know the kind of the liquid of splendid attire in inner bag 10, the machine itself also can select the most suitable heating mode to both guarantee the security that the user drunk, again minimize user's latency, therefore more intelligent, the grade is higher.

Such as: can set up the TDS meter in inner bag 10 and come the TDS value of detection liquid, distinguish quality of water through the specific size of TDS value and the matching of the predetermined TDS scope of various quality of water, and then select corresponding heating mode, the predetermined TDS scope of like the running water is [ X₁-X₂]The predetermined TDS range of purified water or purified tap water is [ X ]₃-X₄]When the TDS value detected by the TDS meter is [ X ]₁-X₂]When the TDS value is in the range, the first heating mode is automatically selected, and when the TDS value detected by the TDS meter is [ X ]₃-X₄]When the range is within, the second heating mode is automatically selected.

In any of the above embodiments, the heating control method further includes:

when the liquid reaches the preset temperature, the heat preservation assembly is started to preserve heat and heat the liquid.

No matter the boiling function (namely the first heating mode) is adopted to boil the liquid and then reduce the temperature to the preset temperature, or the direct heating function (namely the second heating mode) is adopted to directly heat the liquid to the preset temperature, the liquid heating container is operated in a heat preservation mode to supplement the heat dissipated by the liquid in the inner container 10, so that the heat is maintained near the set temperature, and a user only needs to heat once to obtain the liquid with the proper temperature in a relatively long period of time at any time, so that the use experience effect is better.

Of course, when the liquid reaches the preset temperature, the liquid heating container may also enter a standby mode, that is, the power supply of the machine is in an on state, but the heating assembly 11, the heat preservation assembly, the cooling device and other structures do not work, and then the liquid in the inner container 10 is naturally cooled.

It should be explained that, since the heating component 11 and the thermal insulation component both perform heating functions, only the heating power is different from the specific time of operation, specifically, the heating component 11 operates during the heating process, and the heating power is relatively large, so as to ensure that the liquid is heated up quickly; the heat preservation assembly works in the heat preservation process, the heating power is relatively low, and only the liquid needs to be ensured not to be cooled. Therefore, the heating component 11 and the heat preservation component can be the same device with different heating powers, and different heating powers can be respectively operated in the heating process and the heat preservation process; or two separate devices may be provided, and different devices may be turned on during the heating process and the heat-retaining process, respectively, although each separate device may have a different heating power.

In any of the above embodiments, in the process of starting the cooling device to cool the liquid to the preset temperature, if an instruction to cancel cooling is received, the cooling device is turned off.

In the embodiment, when the boiling function and the temperature setting (or temperature selection) function are used together, in the process of cooling after liquid boiling, a user can select to close the cooling device at any time to maintain the liquid at a relatively high temperature without waiting for the automatic stop of the cooling device, so that the control of the product is more flexible, and the use comfort of the user is further improved; only when the boiling function and the temperature setting (or temperature selection) function are used together, the cooling device can be automatically opened after the liquid is boiled and automatically closed when the liquid is cooled to the set temperature, and manual control by a user is not needed.

In any of the above embodiments, when the liquid reaches the preset temperature, the reminding device is started to send a reminding signal.

In any of the above embodiments, the predetermined temperature is a drinkable temperature, the drinkable temperature being in the range of [ T-5 ℃, T +5 ℃), where T is the current ambient temperature.
