An embodiment of the present application further provides a backlight display control method, which can be applied to the above-mentioned backlight display shower assembly 100, as shown in the flowchart of fig. 9, the backlight display control method includes the following steps:
step S110: and acquiring the position information of the shower switch key.
The position information may refer to a position of the shower switch key 130 relative to the shower box 111 or the position detector 150, where the position may include a position point of the shower switch key 130 relative to the shower box 111 or the position detector 150 when the spool 122 is in the on state, and a position point of the shower switch key 130 relative to the shower box 111 or the position detector 150 when the spool 122 is in the off state.
As an example, when the valve core 122 is a pressing valve core, the user can open or close the valve core 122 in a pressing manner, and the shower switch key 130 can move along the axis of the fitting hole 1112; when the shower switch key 130 is in the first position, the spool is in the off state; when the shower switch key 130 is at the second position, the valve core is in the open state, wherein the first position and the second position may be two position points along the axial direction of the fitting hole 1112, the position of the shower switch key may be detected by a distance sensor, for example, the position of the shower switch key may be determined by measuring the distance from the shower switch key to the distance sensor by the distance sensor, when the distance from the shower switch key 130 to the distance sensor is a, the shower switch key 130 is determined to be at the first position, and when the distance from the shower switch key 130 to the distance sensor is b, the shower switch key 130 is determined to be at the second position. When the valve core 122 is a rotary valve core, a user can open or close the valve core 122 in a rotary mode, the shower switch key 130 can rotate along the axis of the assembly hole 1112, and when the shower switch key 130 rotates to the first position, the valve core is in a closed state; when the shower switch key 130 is in the second position, the spool is in the open state. Wherein the first position and the second position may be two different positions around the axis of the fitting hole 1112, the position of the shower switch key 130 may be determined by measuring the rotational position of the shower switch key 130 by an angle sensor or a position sensor. As an example, a detecting member (e.g., a magnetic element) may be disposed at the shower switch key 130, a sensing member (e.g., a magnetic sensing element) may be disposed at the first position and the second position, respectively, and when the sensing member disposed at the first position senses the detecting member, the shower switch key 130 is determined to be at the first position; when the sensing member disposed at the second position senses the detecting member, it is determined that the shower switch key 130 is at the second position.
As still another example, as shown in fig. 2 and 7, the position detector 150 may include a first detecting member 151 and a second detecting member 152, the first detecting member 151 is disposed at the shower switch key 130, the second detecting member 152 is disposed at the light emitting member 140 and may be disposed opposite to the first detecting member 151, the first detecting member 151 may be a magnetic element, and the second detecting member 152 may be a magnetic induction element. The magnetic sensor can be disposed on the light emitting element 140, and the shower switch button 130 can be selectively moved close to or away from the magnetic sensor during the movement. When the shower switch key 130 is at the first position, the shower switch key 130 is close to the magnetic induction element, the magnetic induction element induces the magnetic element to generate the change of the level signal, and the control module determines that the shower switch key is at the first position when receiving the level signal; when the shower switch key 130 moves from the first position to the second position, the shower switch key 130 moves away from the magnetic sensing element, the magnetic element is away from the magnetic sensing element, the change of the magnetic field causes the interruption of the change of the level signal, and the control module 161 determines that the shower switch key is in the second position when receiving the interruption of the level signal.
Step S120: judging the opening/closing state of the valve core according to the position information;
and judging whether the valve core 122 is in an open state or a closed state according to the position information, wherein when the shower switch key is in different positions, the valve core 122 corresponds to different states.
As an example, when the shower switch key 130 is in the first position, the spool is in the off state; when the shower switch key 130 is in the second position, the spool is in the open state. The one-to-one corresponding relation between the opening state and the closing state of the valve core and the position can be preset, and when the shower switch key 130 is detected to be in the first position, the valve core can be judged to be in the closing state according to the preset corresponding relation; when the shower switch key 130 is detected to be in the second position, the valve core can be determined to be in the open state according to the preset corresponding relationship.
Step S130: if the valve core is switched from the closed state to the open state, a first instruction is sent to control the light-emitting piece to be opened; and if the valve core is switched from the opening state to the closing state, sending a second instruction to control the light-emitting piece to be closed.
When the valve element 122 is switched from the closed state to the open state, the water outlet corresponding to the valve element 122 discharges water, the first instruction is instruction information for controlling the light emitting element 140 to be opened, where the instruction information may include controlling the light emitting brightness and light variation of the light emitting element 140, for example, controlling the light emitting element 140 to flash light of different colors or controlling the light emitting units 142 at different positions to flash alternately or cyclically.
When the valve element 122 is switched from the open state to the closed state, the water outlet corresponding to the valve element 122 stops discharging water, and the second instruction is instruction information for controlling the light emitting element 140 to be closed so as to stop the light emitting element 140 from emitting light.
In some embodiments, the backlight display shower assembly 100 further includes a power supply module 180, the power supply module 180 includes a water flow generating module 181, the valve body 121 has a water flow channel, the water flow generating module 181 is disposed in the water flow channel, and the control module 161 and the light emitting member 140 are electrically connected to the power generating module, as shown in fig. 10, the step S120 may include the following steps:
step S121: acquiring the working state of a water flow power generation module;
the operation state may include an operation state, a stop operation state, and the like, and when the water flow generating module 181 is in the operation state, the water flow generating module 181 supplies power to the light emitting member 140; when the water current generating module 181 is in the operation stop state, the water current generating module 181 stops supplying power to the light emitting member 140.
In some embodiments, whether the water current power generation module 171 is in an operating state may be determined by detecting whether the impeller of the water current power generation module 171 is in a rotating state, the output current, the output voltage, and the like of the water current power generation module 181. In some embodiments, whether the water current power generation module 171 is in operation may be determined by detecting the flow rate of the water current near the impeller of the water current power generation module 171.
Step S122: judging whether the water flow power generation module is in a running state or not according to the working state;
as an example, if it is detected that the impeller is in a rotating state, it is determined that the water current power generation module 181 is in an operating state, and if it is detected that the impeller is in a stationary state, it is determined that the water current power generation module 181 is in a non-operating state. As another example, if it is detected that the current output from the water current generating module 181 is greater than or equal to a preset value, the water current generating module 181 is determined to be in an operating state, wherein the preset value may be an operating current when the light emitting member 140 can emit light normally; if the current output by the water flow power generation module 181 is detected to be smaller than the preset value or equal to 0, it is determined that the water flow power generation module 181 is in a shutdown state.
As another example, when the flow rate of the water flow near the impeller of the water flow power generation module 171 is detected to be greater than or equal to a preset value, it is determined that the water flow power generation module 181 is in an operating state; if the detected flow velocity of the water flow near the impeller of the water flow power generation module 171 is less than a preset value or equal to 0, it is determined that the water flow power generation module 181 is in the off state, where the preset value may be a corresponding minimum water flow velocity when the impeller of the water flow power generation module 171 can be driven to rotate to supply power to the light emitting element 140.
Step S123: if not, the valve core is determined to be in a closed state.
When the water flow power generation module 171 is not in an operating state, that is, the water flow power generation module 171 is in a closed state, at this time, the water flow in the pipe body 123 does not flow basically, that is, the flow rate of the water flow is basically 0, when the water flow is detected not to flow or the water flow power generation module 171 is in a state of stopping operation, it is indicated that the water outlet is in a state of stopping water outlet, and under the condition of not disconnecting the water gate or stopping water (which can be judged by detecting the on-off state of the water gate switch and the water level condition in the water outlet pipe communicated with the pipe body 123, if the water gate switch is on and the water level in the water outlet pipe meets a preset water level, it is judged that the water gate is on and is in a state of not stopping water), at this time. As an example, in the case that the water gate is not disconnected or the water supply is stopped, when there are a plurality of valve cores 122, each valve core 122 controls the water outlet of one water outlet, and when the water flow power generation module 181 is in the closed state, it is determined that the water outlet of each water outlet is stopped, that is, each valve core 122 is in the closed state. When the water flow power generation module 171 is in the stop operation state, the water flow power generation module 171 is powered off to stop supplying power to the light emitting member 140, and all the light emitting members 140 which are turned on are switched from the on state to the off state to stop emitting light, so that whether the valve element 122 is in the on or off state can be rapidly judged by directly judging the working state of the water flow power generation module 171. As another example, when the water supply process occurs, such as when the main gate is suddenly closed or the water supply is cut off, the water flow in the pipe 123 is interrupted, and the water flow power generation module 171 is switched from the operating state to the shutdown state, in this case, it may be determined that the valve cores 122 are in the closed state, all the light-emitting members 140 corresponding to the plurality of valve cores 122 that have been turned on stop emitting light, and it may be quickly determined that all the valve cores 122 are in the shutdown state by acquiring the operating state of the water flow power generation module 171, without determining the on/off state of the valve core 122 by determining the position information of the shower switch key 130 corresponding to each valve core 122, which may simplify the determination logic and quick response, and in the case that the user does not manually close the valve core 122, to quickly remind the user that the main gate is currently in the shutdown state or the water supply is cut.
The backlight display control method provided by the embodiment of the invention judges the on/off state of the valve core by acquiring the position information of the shower switch key, when the valve core is switched from the off state to the on state, the control module controls the light-emitting piece to be turned on to provide illumination for a user, so that the user can conveniently identify the turned-on valve core to operate the turned-on valve core; when the valve core is switched from the opening state to the closing state, the control module controls the light-emitting piece to be closed so as to stop the illumination of the light-emitting piece.
