As shown in fig. 3, the control panel 11 includes: a water-consuming equipment selection button 111, wherein the water-consuming equipment selection button 111 is provided on the housing 112.

The control panel 11 is connected to the waterway system 13 and the water using device 12, and a user can send out an instruction for controlling the waterway system 13 or the water using device 12 through the control panel 11, and then a controller and other control devices arranged in the control panel 11 or control devices additionally arranged in the system can execute actions corresponding to the instructions.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a method for realizing water control, and an execution main body for implementing the method comprises a control device in a control panel, a water path system and water utilization equipment. According to different implementation main bodies of the method, a plurality of sets of methods for realizing water control are arranged, and the method comprises the following steps:

control device side in control panel

Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a water control method according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the method including the following steps S101-S105:

in step S101, a selection instruction sent by the control panel is received, and the selection instruction includes: the selected target water using equipment and the function executed by the target water using equipment; the selection instruction is triggered by the user by selecting a button with the water appliance.

The user can select the water consumption equipment selection button 111 in the control panel 11 shown in fig. 3 to trigger the selection instruction, that is, select the target water consumption equipment 12 to be used and the function executed by the target water consumption equipment 12 through the water consumption equipment selection button 111, for example: different numbers of presses of the water usage equipment selection button 111 correspond to different selection instructions (i.e., corresponding to different water usage equipment 12 and functions performed by the water usage equipment 12).

For example, the corresponding selection instruction for 1 press is: the selected target water usage device 12 is a cooking appliance, and the function performed by the target water usage device 12 is a rice heating function; the corresponding selection instruction for pressing 2 times is as follows: the selected target water usage device 12 is a cooking appliance, and the function performed by the target water usage device 12 is a porridge cooking function or the like.

In step S102, determining a water demand according to a function executed by the target water usage device; the water demand includes: water type.

A mapping table as shown in table 1 may be preset, in which the correspondence relationship between the functions executed by the target water usage device 12 and the water usage demand is indicated, and when the user selects the functions executed by the target water usage device 12 through the water usage device selection button 111, the water usage type in the water usage demand may be determined through the mapping table.

TABLE 1

Function performed by target water-using equipment	Water demand
		Porridge	Purified water
Hot rice	Municipal water
		…	…

In table 1, the water types corresponding to the porridge cooking function are: purified water; the water type municipal water corresponding to the function of heating rice.

For example, when the function performed by the target water usage device 12 selected by the user through the water usage device selection button 111 is a hot meal, the type of water to be used is municipal water as can be seen from the above table 1.

In step S103, a target water inlet is determined according to the water usage type, and the water source type corresponding to the target water inlet is the same as the water usage type.

A mapping table as shown in table 2 may be preset, in which the correspondence between the water usage type and the target water inlet 1311 is indicated, and when the water usage type is determined according to the function executed by the target water usage device 12, which target water inlet 1311 is may be determined by the mapping table.

TABLE 2

Type of water used	Water inlet
		Municipal water	First water inlet
Purified water	Second water inlet
		…	…

In table 2, the water inlet 1311 corresponding to municipal water is a first water inlet 1311, and the water inlet 1311 corresponding to purified water is a second water inlet 1311.

Continuing with the above example, when it is determined that the water type is municipal water, it can be seen from table 2 that the target water inlet 1311 is the first water inlet 1311.

In step S104, a target water outlet is determined according to the target water consumption device, and the target water outlet is used for discharging water to the target water consumption device.

Different water consuming devices 12 may correspond to different water outlets 1312, and the system may store the mapping relationship between each water outlet 1312 and the water consuming device 12, for example: the cooking utensil corresponds to a first water outlet 1312, and the faucet corresponds to a second water outlet 1312. When the user selects the target water consuming device 12 through the water consuming device selection button 111, the corresponding target water outlet 1312 can be known through the mapping relationship.

Continuing with the above example: the target water consumption device 12 selected by the user through the water consumption device selection button 111 is a cooking appliance, and the target water outlet 1312 corresponding to the cooking appliance is known as the first water outlet 1312 according to the mapping relation.

In step S105, a corresponding pipeline in the waterway system for communicating the target water inlet and the target water outlet is controlled according to the water usage type, so as to supply water to the target water usage equipment.

When the target water inlet 1311 and the target water outlet 1312 are known, the corresponding pipes in the communication waterway system 13 may be controlled to supply water to the target water-consuming device 12.

For example, when the target water inlet 1311 and the target water outlet 1312 are obtained, a connection instruction indicating connection between the target water inlet 1311 and the target water outlet 1312 may be sent to the water path system 13, and when the water path system 13 receives the connection instruction, the connection between the target water inlet 1311 and the target water outlet 1312 may be connected based on the connection instruction, so as to supply water to the water-consuming equipment 12 through the target water inlet 1311 and the target water outlet 1312.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, each water inlet 1311 is provided with a water inlet valve 1315, and each water outlet 1312 is provided with a water outlet valve 1316, and the step of controlling the corresponding pipeline for communicating the target water inlet and the target water outlet in the waterway system according to the water usage type includes the following substeps a1-a 2:

in A1, the control opens the target water inlet valve corresponding to the target water inlet.

In a2, the control opens the target outlet valve corresponding to the target outlet.

Since each of the inlet valves 1315 and each of the outlet valves 1316 are in the initial state of being closed, when one of the inlet valves 1315 and one of the outlet valves 1316 are opened, the pipes between the inlet valve 1315 and the outlet valve 1316 are connected.

Wherein, the step of controlling to open the target water inlet valve corresponding to the target water inlet may include: the control device sends a valve opening instruction carrying a target water inlet valve identifier to the waterway system, the valve opening instruction indicates to open the target water inlet valve, and after the waterway system receives the valve opening instruction, the target water inlet valve is opened according to the valve opening instruction; the step of controlling to close the target water outlet valve corresponding to the target water outlet may include: and the control device sends a valve opening instruction carrying a target water outlet valve identifier to the waterway system, the valve opening instruction indicates to open the target water outlet valve, and the waterway system opens the target water outlet valve according to the valve opening instruction after receiving the valve opening instruction. When the waterway system opens the target water inlet valve and the target water outlet valve according to the instruction, the waterway system is communicated with the pipeline between the target water inlet and the target water outlet.

Continuing with the above example, target water inlet 1311 is: a first water inlet 1311; the target water outlet 1312 is: a first water outlet 1312; at this time, the target water inlet valve 1315 corresponding to the first water inlet 1311 and the target water outlet valve 1316 corresponding to the first water outlet 1312 are controlled to be opened, so that the pipeline between the first water inlet 1311 and the first water outlet 1312 can be communicated.

The intake valve 1315 and the outlet valve 1316 include: an electronic valve.

When the waterway system 13 includes the inlet pipes 1313 and the outlet pipes 1314, the outlet end of each inlet pipe 1313 is connected to the inlet 1311 through the inlet valve 1315, and the inlet end of each outlet pipe 1314 is connected to the outlet 1312 through the outlet valve 1316.

By providing the inlet valve 1315 and the outlet valve 1316, the inlet valve 1315 and the outlet valve 1316 can be controlled to be closed when the water consuming device 12 does not require water, thereby avoiding the problem that water still flows into the water consuming device 12 through the target inlet 1311 and the target outlet 1312 when the water consuming device 12 is not using water.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the water storage tank 131 of the waterway system 13 includes: a temperature control member 132; the water demand also includes: a target water temperature; at this time, the above method further includes the following sub-steps B1-B2:

in B1, a target temperature of the water in the water storage tank is determined based on the target water temperature.

In B2, the temperature control unit performs temperature control processing on the water in the water storage tank according to the target temperature so that the water flowing into the target water usage device satisfies the target water temperature.

In one implementation, as shown in fig. 7, the control panel 11 further includes: a knob 113 for adjusting the temperature of the outlet water. At this time, the user may select the target water temperature through the knob 113 for adjusting the outlet water temperature.

The knob may be partially located outside the housing and partially located inside the housing, so long as there is sufficient exposed portion of the knob for the user to rotate.

In practical scenarios, users need different outlet water temperatures, such as: the user wants to use hot water when cooking rice and the user wants to use cold water when heating rice. At this time, the user can select the outlet water temperature suitable for himself only by rotating the knob in the control panel 11.

In another implementation, the target water temperature may be automatically matched based on the target water usage device 12 selected by the user and the function performed by the target water usage device 12.

After the target water temperature is determined, since the water outlet 1312 of the water storage tank 131 has a certain distance from the target water usage device 12, the target temperature of the water in the water storage tank 131 and the target water temperature have a certain difference, at this time, the target temperature of the water in the water storage tank 131 can be determined according to the target water temperature, and the temperature control component 132 is further controlled to perform temperature control processing on the water in the water storage tank 131 according to the target temperature, so that the water flowing into the target water usage device 12 meets the target water temperature.

The above determining the target temperature of the water in the water storage tank 131 by the target water temperature may include: a mapping table is preset in which the correspondence between the target water temperature and the target temperature of the water in the water tank 131 is stored.

For example: the target water temperature is 20 ℃, then the target temperature 22 ℃ of the water in the water storage tank 131 can be determined by searching the mapping table, and at this time, the temperature control part 132 is controlled to control the temperature of the water in the water storage tank 131 to make the target temperature of the water in the water storage tank 131 be 22 ℃.

The control means described above may include: the heating means for heating the water in the storage tank 131 may also include a refrigeration module for refrigerating the water in the storage tank 131.

In one embodiment, the step of controlling the temperature control component to perform temperature control processing on the water in the water storage tank according to the target temperature comprises the following substeps C1-C2:

at C1, the operating power of the temperature control component is determined based on the target temperature and the current water temperature in the water storage tank.

In C2, the temperature control component is controlled to operate at the operating power.
