Fig. 1 is a schematic flow diagram of a water quantity regulation method according to some embodiments of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the water amount adjusting method of the embodiment includes steps S11-S13.
In step S11, a target outlet water temperature, inlet water pressure, and inlet water temperature are obtained.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flow diagram of a water quantity regulating method according to other embodiments of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the water temperature adjusting method of the embodiment includes steps S21-S26.

in step S211, an ambient temperature and/or a human body temperature of the user are acquired.
In some embodiments, the ambient temperature and the body temperature of the user may be obtained alternatively or both. The ambient temperature may be a current and local ambient temperature, and may be obtained by acquiring temperature information on a network or detecting the temperature information indoors and outdoors, for example; the human body temperature of the user can be historical body temperature data and current body temperature data of the user, or only the current body temperature data, and the data can be shared by the user and can also be obtained according to real-time detection.
In step S212, a target outlet water temperature is generated according to the ambient temperature and/or the human body temperature.
In some embodiments, since the ambient temperature reflects the current weather conditions, such as the seasonal cold and warm conditions, a comfortable target outlet water temperature suitable for the seasonal cold and warm can be obtained according to the ambient temperature; the data of the human body temperature also show a certain rule, and the target outlet water temperature with certain comfort can be obtained according to the human body temperature. Preferably, the target outlet water temperature can be obtained according to the ambient temperature and the human body temperature, for example, the comfortable target outlet water temperature can be obtained by taking the ambient temperature as a reference judgment basis and the human body temperature as a correction value.

In some embodiments, the water amount control information further includes a reference water output amount, and fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart of generating the water amount control information according to the target water output temperature, the water input pressure, and the water input temperature according to some embodiments of the present invention, which specifically includes steps S221 to S223:
in step S221, a reference water output is generated according to the target water outlet temperature, the water inlet pressure, and the water inlet temperature.
FIG. 5 is a schematic flow chart of generating a reference water output according to a target water outlet temperature, a target water inlet pressure, and a target water inlet temperature according to some embodiments of the present invention, which specifically includes steps S2211 to S2213:
in step S2211, a corresponding initial value of the water amount is determined according to the numerical range of the water inlet pressure.
In some embodiments, the corresponding initial value of the water amount may be determined according to the numerical range of the water inlet pressure, for example, referring to table 1, the initial value of the water amount may be determined according to the corresponding relationship of table 1. For example, when the water inlet pressure is in the range of 0.35-0.50 MPa, the initial value of the water quantity can be 9.5.
| Pressure of water intake (MPa) | Initial value of water quantity |
| 0.05～0.15 | 7 |
| 0.15～0.35 | 8.5 |
| 0.35～0.50 | 9.5 |
| >0.50 | 10 |
TABLE 1
In step S2212, a corresponding water amount correction value is determined according to a difference range between the target outlet water temperature and the inlet water temperature.
In some embodiments, the corresponding water volume correction value is determined according to the difference range between the target outlet water temperature and the inlet water temperature, for example, referring to table 2, the water volume correction value may be determined according to the corresponding relationship of table 2, for example, the water volume correction value is 0 when the temperature difference is 15-20 ℃.
| Temperature difference (. degree.C.) | Correction value of water quantity |
| 0～15 | +1 |
| 15～20 | 0 |
| 20～27 | -1 |
| >27 | -1.5 |
TABLE 2
In step S2213, a reference effluent amount is generated based on the initial water amount value and the water amount correction value.
In some embodiments, the reference outlet is generated according to the initial value of the water amount and the water amount correction value, for example, the sum of the initial value of the water amount and the water amount correction value is calculated, for example, when the initial value of the water amount is 9.5 and the water amount correction value is 0, the sum of the initial value of the water amount and the water amount correction value is 9.5, and the reference outlet is 9.5L/min.
In step S222, a first output water amount is generated according to the reference water yield and a first correction water amount, and a value range of the first correction water amount includes 2L/min to 8L/min.
In some embodiments, the first output water volume is obtained based on the reference water output volume and the first correction water volume.
Fig. 6 is a schematic flow chart of generating a first output water amount according to a reference water yield and a first correction water amount according to some embodiments of the present invention, which specifically includes steps S2221 to S2222:
in step S2221, a first correction water amount is determined from the initial water amount value.
In some embodiments, since the initial value of the water amount reflects the water inlet pressure, for example, when the initial value of the water amount is larger, the water inlet pressure is also larger, and the pressurizable pressure value is also larger, so that the larger water amount can be output, or vice versa. Therefore, the corrected water amount for calculating the large and small water amounts can be obtained from the initial water amount value.
In step S2222, the sum of the reference effluent amount and the first corrected water amount is calculated to obtain the first output water amount.
In some embodiments, the first output volume is greater than the second output volume, and the first output volume is obtained from a sum of the reference output volume and a first corrected volume, wherein the first corrected volume may reflect an upper limit volume indicating that the water inlet pressure may be increased.
In step S223, a second output water amount is generated according to the reference water yield and a second corrected water amount, and a value range of the second corrected water amount includes 0L/min to 5L/min.
In some embodiments, the second output water amount is obtained according to the reference water yield and the second corrected water amount, and it should be noted that, although the value range of the second corrected water amount is different from the value range of the first corrected water amount, the value of the second corrected water amount may be the same as that of the first corrected water amount in a specific implementation.
FIG. 7 is a schematic flow chart of generating a second output water amount according to a reference water yield and a second corrected water amount according to some embodiments of the present invention, which specifically includes steps S2231-2232:
in step S2231, a second corrected water amount is determined based on the initial water amount value.
In some embodiments, since the initial value of the water amount reflects the water inlet pressure, for example, when the initial value of the water amount is larger, the water inlet pressure is also larger, and the pressurizable pressure value is also larger, so that the larger water amount can be output, or vice versa. Therefore, the corrected water amount for calculating the large and small water amounts can be obtained from the initial water amount value.
In step S2232, a difference between the reference effluent amount and the second corrected effluent amount is calculated to obtain a second effluent amount.
In some embodiments, the second output water volume is less than the first output water volume, and the second output water volume is obtained according to a difference between the reference output water volume and the second corrected water volume.
In step S23, target leaving water temperature and/or water volume control information is displayed or broadcasted.
In some embodiments, the target outlet water temperature and/or water amount control information may be displayed through a screen or the like, or the target outlet water temperature and/or water amount control information may be broadcasted through a broadcasting device to prompt a user, so that the user knows the target outlet water temperature and/or water amount control information, and user experience is improved.
In step S24, a modification instruction of the target outlet water temperature and/or water amount control information by the user is received.
In some embodiments, after the user knows the target outlet water temperature and/or water amount control information, the user may also receive a modification of the corresponding data, for example, the user's modification of the target outlet water temperature and/or water amount control information is received through a key, a touch screen, or a voice device, so that the interaction experience may be improved, and the temperature or the water amount may be adjusted to a value that the user wishes to try.
In step S25, the target outlet water temperature and/or the water amount control information is modified according to the modification instruction.
In some embodiments, the water volume alternation output may be performed according to the user-modified information.
In step S26, the water heater is controlled to alternately discharge water in different amounts based on the target outlet water temperature according to the first output water amount and the second output water amount.
Step S26 is the same as the corresponding step of the previous embodiment, and is not described again.
