and S100, receiving the target outlet water temperature input by the user.
The target outlet water temperature input by the user may be completely defined by the user, or a plurality of reference temperatures may be provided by the water supply device 100 for the user to select.
Step S200: and comparing the target outlet water temperature, the cold water temperature and the hot water temperature to obtain a first comparison result.
In the present embodiment, the hot water temperature is detected by the first temperature sensor 114, and the cold water temperature is detected by the second temperature sensor 124. In other embodiments, when the water supply device 100 is not provided with a temperature sensor, the cold water temperature and the hot water temperature may be constant temperatures.
Step S300: and adjusting the water quantity proportion of the hot water and the cold water according to the first comparison result to adjust the actual outlet water temperature of the water supply device 100.
Referring to fig. 4, the step of adjusting the water quantity ratio of the hot water and the cold water according to the first comparison result to adjust the actual outlet water temperature of the water supply device 100 includes:
step S310: and judging whether the target outlet water temperature is less than or equal to the cold water temperature.
If yes, namely the target outlet water temperature is less than or equal to the cold water temperature, step S320 is executed, the water quantity of the hot water is adjusted to zero, and the cold water is output separately. When the target outlet water temperature is equal to the cold water temperature, the hot water supply is closed, and the cold water is independently supplied, so that the actual outlet water temperature can reach the target outlet water temperature. When the target outlet water temperature is lower than the cold water temperature, no matter how the water quantity proportion of the cold water and the hot water is adjusted, the actual outlet water temperature cannot reach the target outlet water temperature, so that the cold water is output independently, and the actual outlet water temperature is equal to the temperature of the cold water so as to be as close to the target outlet water temperature as possible. If not, namely the target outlet water temperature is higher than the cold water temperature, the step S330 is executed to judge whether the target outlet water temperature is higher than the hot water temperature.
If yes, namely the target outlet water temperature is higher than the hot water temperature, step S340 is executed, the water quantity of the cold water is adjusted to zero, and the hot water is output independently. When the target outlet water temperature is higher than the hot water temperature, no matter how to adjust the water quantity proportion of the cold water and the hot water, the actual outlet water temperature cannot reach the target outlet water temperature, so that the hot water is output independently, and the actual outlet water temperature is equal to the temperature of the hot water so as to be as close to the target outlet water temperature as possible.
Further, after the step of adjusting the water amount of the cold water to zero and outputting the hot water separately, the method further comprises the following steps:
step S342: and after the hot water is output for the preset time independently, comparing the target outlet water temperature with the hot water temperature again to obtain a second comparison result. The preset time can be set as required, and in this embodiment, the preset time is 30S. In other embodiments, the preset time may be 1 min.
Step S344: and adjusting the water quantity ratio of the hot water and the cold water according to the second comparison result.
Further, referring to fig. 5, the step of adjusting the water quantity ratio of the hot water and the cold water according to the second comparison result includes: and step S346, judging whether the target outlet water temperature is higher than the hot water temperature again, if so, executing step S348, and prompting the user that the water temperature is insufficient. If not, namely the target outlet water temperature is less than or equal to the hot water temperature, the step S350 is executed, namely the target water quantity proportion of the cold water and the hot water required for reaching the target outlet water temperature is calculated, and the actual water quantity proportion of the hot water and the cold water is adjusted to the target water quantity proportion.
The above steps are performed with the goal that there may be two situations where the target outlet water temperature is greater than the hot water temperature. The first case is that the target outlet water temperature is actually less than or equal to the hot water temperature, but due to the detection position of the first temperature sensor 114, there is a temperature difference between different positions of the hot water in the hot water flow passage 110, and the like, in the initial stage of the single output of the hot water, the hot water temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 114 is relatively low with respect to the accurate hot water temperature, and after the single output of the hot water continues for a period of time, the hot water temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 114 will approach the accurate hot water temperature infinitely, and the target outlet water temperature will be less than or equal to the hot water temperature, and at this time, the target water quantity ratio of the cold water and the hot water required to reach the target outlet water temperature is calculated, and the actual water quantity ratio of the hot water and the cold water is adjusted to the target water quantity ratio, so that the actual.
The second situation is that the target outlet water temperature is actually higher than the hot water temperature, and then when the hot water is output alone for a while, the hot water temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 114 is still lower than the target outlet water temperature, which indicates that the set target outlet water temperature is too high, the water supply device 100 cannot provide water with a temperature meeting the user's requirements and expectations, and at this time, the water temperature is not enough for prompting the user, and the prompting modes are many, and the alarm can be provided through the touch screen display or the alarm.
If the result of the step S330 is negative, that is, the target outlet water temperature is less than or equal to the hot water temperature, the step S350 is directly executed, namely, the target water volume proportion of the hot water and the cold water required for reaching the target outlet water temperature is calculated, and the actual water volume proportion of the hot water and the cold water is adjusted to the target water volume proportion.
Further, referring to fig. 6, the step of calculating the target water volume ratio of the hot water and the cold water required to reach the target outlet water temperature and adjusting the actual water volume ratio of the hot water and the cold water to the target water volume ratio includes:
step S360, calculating target water quantities of cold water and hot water required for reaching the target outlet water temperature, and step S370, adjusting actual water quantities of the hot water and the cold water to the respective target water quantities.
More closely, the step of calculating the target amounts of cold water and hot water required to reach the target outlet water temperature includes the steps of:
according to
And calculating target water amounts of cold water and hot water by two formulas of Q '1 + Q2, wherein Q1 is the target water amount of hot water, Q2 is the target water amount of cold water, Q' is the water yield, T is the target water outlet temperature, T1 is the hot water temperature, and T2 is the cold water temperature.
In particular, the formula
The method is jointly deduced from two formulas of CM1(T1-T) ═ CM2(T-T2) and M ═ rho Q, wherein C is the specific heat capacity of water, M1 is the mass of hot water, and M2 is the mass of cold water; ρ is the density of water; q is the water volume, T is the target outlet water temperature, T1 is the hot water temperature, and T2 is the cold water temperature.
In addition, in this embodiment, the water output Q' is self-defined by the user while self-defining the target water output temperature. That is, step S302 is further included before the step of calculating the target amounts of cold water and hot water required to reach the target outlet water temperature: and receiving the water yield input by the user. The total water yield of the water supply device 100 is defined by a user, so that the function of the water outlet temperature control method can be enriched, the user can adjust different water yields according to the self requirement, the individual requirement of the user on the water yield is met, and the user experience is improved. In other embodiments, the water output Q' may also be a fixed preset value, which cannot be defined and adjusted by the user.
Referring to fig. 7, step S370 specifically includes: step S372: comparing the target water quantity and the actual water quantity of the hot water and the target water quantity and the actual water quantity of the cold water; and step S374: if the target water quantity of the hot water is equal to the actual water quantity, the water quantity of the hot water is not adjusted; if not, adjusting the actual water quantity of the hot water to the target water quantity; if the target water quantity of the cold water is equal to the actual water quantity, the water quantity of the cold water is not adjusted; and if not, adjusting the actual water quantity of the cold water to the target water quantity.
Specifically, if the actual amount of hot water is greater than the target amount of water, the opening degree of the first solenoid valve 112 is decreased to decrease the actual amount of hot water to the target amount of water; if the actual amount of hot water is less than the target amount of water, increasing the opening degree of the first solenoid valve 112 to increase the actual amount of hot water to increase the actual amount of water to the target amount of water; if the actual water amount of the cold water is greater than the target water amount, the opening degree of the second solenoid valve 122 is decreased to decrease the actual water amount of the cold water to decrease the actual water amount to the target water amount; if the actual amount of cold water is less than the target amount of water, the opening degree of the second solenoid valve 122 is increased to increase the actual amount of cold water to the target amount of water.
In addition, it should be noted that, when the water supply apparatus 100 is not provided with two flow meters, the actual water amount and the target water amount do not need to be compared, and the opening degrees of the first electromagnetic valve 112 and the second electromagnetic valve 122 are directly adjusted, so that the actual water amounts of the cold water and the hot water reach the corresponding target water amounts.
When the target outlet water temperature is higher than the cold water temperature and lower than or equal to the hot water temperature, it is indicated that the actual outlet water temperature can be equal to the target outlet water temperature by adjusting the water volume ratio of the cold water to the hot water, at this time, the actual outlet water temperature of the water supply device 100 can be equal to the target outlet water temperature by calculating the target water volume ratio of the hot water to the cold water required for reaching the target outlet water temperature and adjusting the actual water volume ratio of the hot water to the cold water to the target water volume ratio, so as to meet the requirements and expectations of users.
