The invention provides a water heater control method, which monitors the temperature in an inner container through a temperature sensing assembly and controls the operation of each heating assembly according to the monitoring result of the temperature, so that the water temperature in the inner container of the water heater is uniform, and the use experience of the water heater is improved.
In a first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the water heater includes an inner container 100, and a first heating assembly 200, a second heating assembly 300 and a temperature sensing assembly 400 which are arranged inside the inner container 100, wherein the temperature sensing assembly 400 is arranged close to the first heating assembly 200;
as shown in fig. 2, the water heater control method includes the following steps:
step S100, acquiring an actually measured temperature measured by the temperature sensing assembly 400;
s200, comparing the difference of the preset temperature minus the measured temperature with a first preset temperature difference;
step S300, when the difference between the preset temperature and the measured temperature is smaller than or equal to a first preset temperature difference, controlling the first heating assembly 200 to stop heating, and controlling the second heating assembly 300 to operate and heat.
The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below by taking an electric water heater as an example, and accordingly, the heating component referred to herein is generally an electric heating component. Specifically, the inner container 100 of the water heater is used for storing water to be heated and heated, and can be communicated with the outside through the water outlet pipe 500 and the water inlet pipe 600. A first heating assembly 200 and a second heating assembly 300 are arranged inside the inner container 100 to heat the water in the inner container 100. Through setting up two at least heating element, be favorable to improving heating efficiency on the one hand, on the other hand also is favorable to reducing the degree of difficulty that is located heat transfer between the water of different parts in inner bag 100, improves the homogeneity of heating to a certain extent. In order to monitor the temperature in the inner container 100, a temperature sensing assembly 400 is further disposed inside the inner container 100, and the temperature sensing assembly 400 is disposed near the first heating assembly 200 to measure the temperature in the inner container 100. In a specific example, the first heating element 200 may be disposed at the middle of the inner container 100, and the second heating element 300 may be disposed at the bottom of the inner container 100, so that the temperature sensing element 400 is disposed near the first heating element 200, that is, the temperature sensing element 400 is disposed at the middle of the inner container 100, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of the detected temperature and reducing the interference of the local water temperature as much as possible. In addition, because the hot water can float upward under the action of buoyancy, in the heating process, heat convection can be generated in the inner container 100, which is also beneficial to further improving the uniformity of heating and the reliability of temperature detection of the temperature sensing assembly 400. The water heater controls the operation of the first heating unit 200 and the second heating unit 300 according to the measured temperature measured by the temperature sensing unit 400, so that the temperature of water in the inner container 100 meets the user's requirement. The preset temperature for controlling heating can be set by a user according to the requirement of the user, and can also be correspondingly read from a memory of the water heater according to the current working mode. When the difference between the preset temperature and the measured temperature is less than or equal to the first preset temperature difference, it indicates that the temperature near the first heating assembly 200 in the liner 100 detected by the temperature sensing assembly 400 is close to the preset temperature required by the user, and the water temperature near the first heating assembly 200 in the liner 100 reaches a level close to the preset temperature without considering the dry-heating of the water heater. However, due to the large volume of the water heater tank 100, the water temperature in other portions away from the first heating assembly 200 is still generally low, and the overall water temperature distribution in the tank 100 is not uniform. On one hand, in order to avoid overheating the water near the first heating assembly 200, which results in excessive temperature and energy waste, and on the other hand, in order to ensure the balance of the overall water temperature distribution in the inner container 100 as much as possible, the first heating assembly 200 is controlled to stop heating, and the second heating assembly 300 is controlled to operate heating. Wherein, the first predetermined difference in temperature can be according to the sensitivity setting of temperature sensing subassembly 400, usually between 0 ~ 3 ℃, and the sensitivity and the degree of accuracy of temperature sensing subassembly 400 are better, and the setting of the first predetermined difference in temperature can be less to improve control effect.
In the present embodiment, the water heater includes an inner container 100, and a first heating assembly 200, a second heating assembly 300 and a temperature sensing assembly 400 which are disposed inside the inner container 100, wherein the temperature sensing assembly 400 is disposed near the first heating assembly 200; the water heater control method comprises the following steps: acquiring an actual temperature measured by the temperature sensing component 400; comparing the difference of the preset temperature minus the measured temperature with a first preset temperature difference; when the difference between the preset temperature and the measured temperature is less than or equal to the first preset temperature difference, the first heating assembly 200 is controlled to stop heating, and the second heating assembly 300 is controlled to operate and heat. In the scheme, the temperature in the inner container 100 of the water heater is monitored through the temperature sensing assembly 400 arranged close to the first heating assembly 200, when the difference between the preset temperature and the measured temperature is smaller than or equal to a first preset temperature difference, it is indicated that the temperature close to the first heating assembly 200 in the inner container 100 at the moment is close to the preset temperature required by a user, in order to avoid uneven temperature in the inner container, namely, the temperature near the first heating assembly 200 is too high, and the temperature of other parts is too low, the first heating assembly 200 close to the temperature sensing assembly 400 is controlled to stop heating, and the second heating assembly 300 relatively far away from the temperature sensing assembly 400 is controlled to run and heat, through the mode of locally heating the water in the inner container 100, the uneven problem of the water temperature in the inner container 100 is balanced, the heating effect of the water heater is uniform, and the use experience of the water heater is improved.
In the second embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, after step S100, the water heater control method further includes the steps of;
s400, comparing the difference of the preset temperature minus the measured temperature with a second preset temperature difference;
s500, when the difference between the preset temperature and the measured temperature is larger than a second preset temperature difference, controlling the first heating assembly and the second heating assembly to operate and heat;
wherein the second predetermined temperature difference is greater than or equal to the first predetermined temperature difference.
In this embodiment, when the difference between the preset temperature and the measured temperature is greater than the second preset temperature difference, it indicates that the water temperature in the water heater liner 100 at the current state is a certain difference from the preset temperature required by the user. In this case, in order to improve the heating efficiency and to make the temperature of the water in the inner container 100 reach the preset temperature required by the user as soon as possible, the first and second heating assemblies 200 and 300 are controlled to operate and heat simultaneously. The second preset temperature difference is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature difference, and the value of the second preset temperature difference can be specifically between the first preset temperature difference and 5 ℃.
In the third embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, step S300 includes:
step S310, comparing the difference of the preset temperature minus the measured temperature with a third preset temperature difference;
step S320, when the difference between the preset temperature and the measured temperature is less than or equal to a third preset temperature difference, controlling the first heating assembly and the second heating assembly to stop heating;
step S330, when the difference between the preset temperature and the measured temperature is greater than a third preset temperature difference, controlling the first heating assembly to stop heating, and controlling the second heating assembly to operate and heat;
wherein the third predetermined temperature difference is less than the first predetermined temperature difference.
In the present embodiment, it is further considered that the first heating assembly 200 and the second heating assembly 300 may be controlled to stop heating in order to satisfy the user's demand and save energy when the measured temperature has been very close to or even higher than the preset temperature required by the user. Specifically, the stopping of the first and second heating assemblies 200 and 300 is controlled by a third preset temperature difference smaller than the first preset temperature difference. Wherein, the third preset temperature difference can be a negative number, and in consideration of the nonuniformity of the water temperature in the inner container 100, when the temperature sensing assembly 400 detects that the difference between the preset temperature and the measured temperature is greater than the third preset temperature difference, the part far away from the heating assembly in the inner container 100 may still have a lower water temperature, and therefore, the absolute value of the third preset temperature difference can be properly increased to be smaller than zero, so as to ensure the hot water output rate and the output quantity of the water heater.
In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, after step S100, the water heater control method further includes the steps of:
step S610, calculating a temperature change rate of the measured temperature along with time according to the measured temperature;
step S620, comparing the temperature change rate with a first preset change rate;
step S630, when the temperature change rate is smaller than or equal to the first preset change rate, taking the temperature obtained by subtracting a fourth preset temperature difference from the preset temperature as the updated preset temperature;
wherein the fourth predetermined temperature difference is greater than zero.
In order to keep monitoring the temperature in the liner 100, the temperature sensing assembly 400 obtains the measured temperature in real time or at preset time intervals, so that the temperature change rate can be calculated according to the measured temperature and the time. When the water heater is in different working states, the temperature change rate in the inner container 100 is correspondingly different. Specifically, when the water heater is not discharging water, the water amount in the inner container 100 is not changed, and the water temperature change is smaller, namely, the water temperature change rate is smaller; when the water heater discharges water, hot water in the inner container 100 flows out, and external cold water flows into the inner container 100, which causes the temperature change rate to rise. The temperature change rate is compared with a first preset change rate, wherein the first preset change rate corresponds to the maximum temperature change rate of the water heater in a water discharging state. When the temperature change rate is less than or equal to the first preset change rate, it is indicated that the water heater does not discharge water at this time, in order to save energy, and also ensure that the first heating assembly 200 and the second heating assembly 300 can heat the water in the inner container 100 to the temperature required by the user in a short time when the user needs to use the water, the preset temperature for controlling the operation of the heating assemblies can be properly reduced, and the temperature obtained by subtracting the preset temperature from the fourth preset temperature difference is used as the updated preset temperature, so that the temperature of the water in the inner container 100 is maintained at the lower updated preset temperature. The fourth preset temperature difference is larger than zero, the requirement of the user on rapid heating is higher, the set fourth preset temperature difference is smaller, and correspondingly, the energy consumption of the water heater is also increased.
In the fifth embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, after step S610, the water heater control method further includes the steps of:
step S640, comparing the temperature change rate with a second preset change rate;
s650, when the temperature change rate is larger than a second preset change rate, controlling the first heating assembly and the second heating assembly to stop running and generating a dry-burning prompt signal;
wherein the second predetermined rate of change is greater than the first predetermined rate of change.
In this embodiment, when a special condition is considered, that is, when water is not timely supplemented into the inner container 100, the temperature sensing assembly 400 directly contacts with the air in the inner container 100, the detected temperature thereof rapidly rises, and the temperature change rate is large. In order to prevent the potential safety hazard caused by dry combustion of the first heating assembly 200 and the second heating assembly 300 in the inner container 100 under the condition of not supplementing water in time, whether the water heater is in a dry combustion state or not is judged by comparing the temperature change rate with a second preset change rate. When the temperature change rate is greater than the second preset change rate, it indicates that the water amount in the inner container 100 is insufficient or no water exists at the moment, the first heating assembly 200 and the second heating assembly 300 are controlled to stop running, and a dry-fire prompt signal is generated to prompt a user to check the water path of the water heater, so that potential safety hazards are avoided.
