In particular, when the control device executes the computer program stored in the storage device, the detection device 106 may be controlled to emit an fm continuous wave toward the drip receiving area 104, the fm continuous wave being reflected after encountering the drip receiving receptacle 108 in the drip receiving area 104 and generating a first reflected wave toward the drip receiving receptacle 108; particularly, a frequency difference exists between the first reflected wave and the frequency modulated continuous wave, and the control device can know the state of the water receiving container 108 according to the frequency difference to control the water storage device to discharge water, thereby realizing the non-contact automatic water discharge control.

Specifically, the rising edge refers to a process of controlling the detection device 106 to emit the fm continuous wave to the water receiving area 104 with a chirp rate greater than 0, and the falling edge refers to a process of controlling the detection device 106 to emit the fm continuous wave to the water receiving area 104 with a chirp rate less than 0.

The present embodiment provides a computer-readable storage medium, on which a computer program is stored, and the computer program, when executed by a processor, can implement the steps of the control method of the drinking water device according to any of the above embodiments. Therefore, all the advantages of the control method of the drinking water device are not discussed herein.
In any of the above embodiments, the detection device is an FMCW radar.
In any of the above embodiments, the frequency modulated continuous wave is a triangular wave, a sawtooth wave, or the like.
In a specific embodiment, the drinking equipment provided by the invention adopts FMCW radar to emit triangular waves.
In any of the above embodiments, the first calculation formula is:
Figure BDA0002557765760000191
wherein, R represents the distance between the object to be detected and the detection device (namely the relative distance between the water receiving container or the liquid level in the water receiving container and the detection device); c represents the propagation speed (i.e., the speed of light) of the frequency modulated continuous wave; delta t represents the time required for the frequency modulated continuous wave to return to the detection device after being reflected; k represents the chirp rate of the chirp (taking a positive value, i.e., the positive value of the slope of the straight line representing the chirp in fig. 6 is a known value); Δ f1 represents the frequency difference between the continuous frequency modulated wave and the reflected wave at time t1 (i.e., the first frequency difference and the third frequency difference, measured values); Δ f2 represents the frequency difference between the FM continuous wave and the reflected wave at time t2 (i.e., the second frequency difference and the fourth frequency difference, measured values).
In any of the above embodiments, the second calculation formula is:
Figure BDA0002557765760000201
wherein V represents the moving speed of the object to be detected relative to the detection device (i.e. the moving speed of the water receiving container or the liquid level in the water receiving container relative to the detection device); λ represents the wavelength of the frequency modulated continuous wave; Δ f1 represents the frequency difference (i.e., the first frequency difference and the third frequency difference) between the continuous frequency-modulated wave and the reflected wave at time t 1; Δ f2 represents the frequency difference between the FM continuous wave and the reflected wave at time t2 (i.e. the second frequency difference and the fourth frequency difference).
Further, as shown in fig. 6, the abscissa represents time and the ordinate represents frequency; the solid line in the figure represents a frequency-modulated continuous wave generated by the detection means, and the dotted line in the figure represents a reflected wave after being reflected by the target object; in the figure, B represents the scanning bandwidth of the frequency modulated continuous wave; in the figure, T represents the scanning period of the frequency modulated continuous wave; Δ f1 is the frequency difference between the frequency modulated continuous wave and the reflected wave at time t1 of the rising edge; Δ f2 is the frequency difference between the frequency modulated continuous wave and the reflected wave at time t2 of the falling edge; Δ t1 is the time difference from the emission of the frequency modulated continuous wave to the return of the reflected wave to the detection means during the rising edge; at 2 is the time difference during the falling edge from the emission of the frequency modulated continuous wave to the return of the reflected wave to the detection means.
In particular, if there is no doppler frequency, the frequency difference Δ f1 during the rising edge is equal to the frequency difference Δ f2 during the falling edge. For moving objects, the frequency difference Δ f1 during the rising edge is different from the frequency difference Δ f2 during the falling edge, and the distance and the speed are calculated by the two frequency differences.
The specific embodiment is as follows:
as shown in fig. 1, the drinking device provided by the present invention selects an FMCW radar as a detection device, the detection device emits a continuous wave (i.e., a frequency modulated continuous wave) with a variable frequency within a frequency sweep period, a reflected wave reflected by a target object has a certain frequency difference from the emitted wave, and distance and speed information between the target object and the FMCW radar can be obtained by measuring the frequency difference.
In a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the modulation scheme of the detection device 106 is a triangular wave, wherein a solid line represents a frequency-modulated continuous wave generated by the detection device 106, and a dotted line represents a reflected wave reflected by the target object. As is clear from fig. 6, after the frequency modulated continuous wave is transmitted by the target, the reflected wave has a delay, and in the change of the triangular frequency, the distance measurement can be performed on both the rising edge and the falling edge; if there is no Doppler frequency, the frequency difference Δ f1 during the rising edge is equal to the frequency difference Δ f2 during the falling edge. For a moving object, the frequency difference Δ f1 during the rising edge is different from the frequency difference Δ f2 during the falling edge, and we can calculate the distance and the speed by these two frequency differences, and the specific calculation formula is as follows:
Figure BDA0002557765760000211
wherein R represents a distance between the object to be detected and the detection device 106 (i.e., a relative distance between the water receptacle 108 or a liquid level in the water receptacle 108 and the detection device 106); c represents the propagation speed (i.e., the speed of light) of the frequency modulated continuous wave; k represents the frequency modulation slope of the frequency modulation continuous wave (a positive value is taken in the calculation formula and is a known value); Δ f1 represents the frequency difference (the parameter value to be measured) between the frequency modulated continuous wave and the reflected wave at the time t 1; Δ f2 represents the frequency difference (the value of the parameter to be measured) between the frequency modulated continuous wave and the reflected wave at time t 2.
The FMCW radar based on the principle is arranged inside the water dispenser body 102, the detection range is the water taking area of the water receiving container 108, and whether the water receiving container 108 is placed in the water taking area is identified by detecting whether a moving object (the water receiving container 108) exists or not and distance information embodied by reflected waves; the water adding process can be carried out after the water receiving container 108 is detected to be placed; in the water adding process, liquid level information is obtained through distance information fed back by the FMCW radar, and therefore quantitative water outlet is achieved.
