The application scenarios of the embodiments of the present invention are explained below:

FIG. 1 is an application scenario diagram of the intelligent water heater control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention. The intelligent water heater control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to the application scenario of the intelligent heating of the water heater. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1 , The executive body of the smart water heater control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is, for example, a smart water heater, and the smart water heater has an intelligent heating function. The traditional water temperature control method monitors the water temperature in the water tank and performs circulating heating according to the preset temperature. Instead, according to the built-in intelligent heating strategy, the user's water consumption time is predicted, and the matching heating program is set. Referring to Figure 1, the heating program is set to heat the water temperature to 38 degrees Celsius at 7:00, and heat the water temperature to 41 degrees Celsius at 19:00. At 21:00 the water temperature is heated to 42 degrees Celsius. By heating the water temperature to a preset temperature within a certain period of time before the water use time, after prematurely heating the water temperature, ineffective heating due to temperature loss is avoided, and the digestion of electric energy is reduced.

In the prior art, in the scenario of single-person use, a fixed heating period can be determined through the configuration information preset by the user to the smart water heater, or the configuration information automatically generated by the smart water heater according to the user's usage history, so as to determine a fixed heating period. Meet the water needs and habits of a single user. However, in an unfixed multi-person water use scenario, different users have different water habits, and it is impossible to meet the water needs of all users through the preset heating period. At the same time, even if different users store habit information in the smart water heater or in the corresponding server, the user's water habits are based on water demand. The heating program of its water habit will become a wrong heating program, resulting in ineffective heating.

The above problems occur in scenarios where there are many users using the same smart water heater, and the real-time number of users and user composition are not fixed.

Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method to solve the problem that the heating period of the intelligent water heater cannot be dynamically controlled based on the dynamic number and composition of users in the above-mentioned multi-user scenario.

The technical solutions of the present invention and how the technical solutions of the present invention solve the above-mentioned technical problems will be described in detail below with specific examples. The following specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a smart water heater provided by an embodiment of the present invention, which can be applied to a smart water heater or a server. When the method provided by this embodiment is applied to a server, the server communicates with the smart water heater and sends a message to the smart water heater. The control instruction is used to implement the method provided in this embodiment, its implementation principle and the type of situation applied to the smart water heater. In this embodiment, the smart water heater is used as the execution subject of the method provided in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2 , the intelligent water heater control method provided by this embodiment includes the following steps:

In step S101, target users are detected, and data on water usage habits of at least two target users is acquired, and the water usage habits data are used to represent the user's habitual water usage time and habitual water usage temperature.

Exemplarily, in a multi-person water use scenario with an unfixed number of people, the number and composition of users with water needs are not fixed, and need to be dynamically confirmed, where the target users are users with water needs. More specifically, for example, the user ID corresponding to the target user is stored in the smart water heater or a server that communicates with the smart water heater in advance, that is, the target user is a registered user. ) to register and bind the target user, and the method of registering the target user is the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. Further, the intelligent water heater can determine the target user by collecting the image information of the indoor user and comparing it with the image information reserved when the target user is registered; or, in another possible implementation manner, the intelligent water heater and Other terminal devices are located in the same local area network, where the terminal device is, for example, a smart phone. The smart phone detects the identifier of the terminal device located in the same local area network, and determines the same as the terminal device identifier reserved when the target user registers as the target terminal. equipment, and then realize the detection of target users. More specifically, for example, the local area network where the smart water heater is located is the target network, the terminal equipment connected to the target network is detected, and the identification information of the terminal equipment is determined; according to the identification information of the terminal equipment, the identity information of the target user is determined, and according to the identification information of the target user The identity information is used to obtain the water habit data of the target user, wherein the water habit data includes the first moment, and the first temperature and water consumption respectively corresponding to the first moment.

Further, the target user has corresponding water habit data, and the water habit data may be configured by the target user when registering the binding relationship with the smart water heater through the APP, or the smart water heater may perform the data according to the usage history of the target user. It is determined by self-learning and will not be introduced in detail here. After the target user is detected, according to the identification information of the target user and the mapping relationship between the target user and the water usage habit data, the corresponding water usage habit data can be determined. Optionally, in a scenario where multiple people use water, the water habit data of each detected target user is obtained, wherein the water habit data is used to represent the user's habitual water usage time and habitual water temperature, exemplarily, the habitual water usage time. It refers to the habitual water time point of the day, which can be determined by the user's water consumption records. the same.

Step S102: Determine heating program information according to the data on the water habits of at least two target users, wherein the heating program information is used to indicate the heating period of the smart water heater.

Exemplarily, the heating program information is information used to determine the heating plan of the smart water heater, and more specifically, for example, the heating program information includes the information on the start and stop time of the smart water heater, that is, control the heating start time and the heating stop time of the smart water heater. . Under the premise that the heating power of the smart water heater is fixed, the longer the heating time, the higher the water temperature. Therefore, according to the heating start time and heating stop time in the heating program information, the water heater can be controlled to achieve a specific water output at a specific time point. temperature. To meet the user's water habits.

After determining the water habit data of at least two target users, in order to meet the water habit of each target user, set the matching heating program information according to the habitual water usage time and habitual water temperature represented by the water habit data to control the heating of the smart water heater Start time and heating stop time, namely heating period.

However, it should be noted that in the multi-person water use scenario applied in this embodiment, the process of determining the heating program information (heating period) of the smart water heater according to the water habit data of the target user is not based on the water consumption of each target user. The habitual water time point and/or habitual water temperature represented by the habit data, respectively, determine the corresponding sub-heating period and perform simple superposition to obtain the heating period. Since in multiple sub-heating periods, the heating process and water use process of the previous sub-heating period may affect the heating process of the subsequent sub-heating period, resulting in shortening or increasing the subsequent sub-heating period. Therefore, according to the single-person water use scenario In the following method, the correct heating period cannot be determined, that is, the correct heating program information cannot be determined.

The following describes the process of determining the heating program information according to the data on the water habit of at least two target users in this step with a specific embodiment, wherein the data on the water habit includes the first moment and the corresponding first temperature, as shown in FIG. 3 As shown, step S102 includes:

Step S1021 : Acquire at least two first moments correspondingly according to the data of water usage habits of at least two target users.

Step S1022: Generate a water use time series according to the at least two first moments, where the water use time series includes at least two orderly arranged first moments.

Exemplarily, the first moment in the water usage habit data is the habitual water usage moment of the target user, wherein each target user's water usage habit value may include a habitual water usage moment (for example, indicating that the target user is accustomed to washing once a day). bath), and may also include multiple habitual water moments (for example, indicating that the target user is accustomed to bathing multiple times a day). Each first moment representing the habitual water time corresponds to a habitual water temperature, that is, the first temperature. By sorting the first moments in the at least two habit data, a set of ordered time series arranged in chronological order, that is, water use time series, can be generated.

Step S1023: Determine the heating program information according to the interval of each first time in the water time series and the first temperature corresponding to each first time.

Exemplarily, the heating program information is generated through a corresponding strategy according to the interval of each first moment in the water use time series. Specifically, in a possible situation, the first time interval in the water use time series is relatively large, for example, the first time a is 8:00 am; the second time b is 6:00 pm; The distance between the two is large, and the heating processes corresponding to the two have no influence on each other. Therefore, they can be used as two independent heating processes, such as obtaining a preset standard temperature, according to the difference between the first temperature corresponding to each first moment and the standard temperature. value, determine the heating duration corresponding to each first moment; according to each first moment and the corresponding heating duration, determine the second moment corresponding to each first moment, wherein the second moment is before the corresponding first duration, the intelligent Determine the heating program information according to the second time corresponding to each first time, wherein the second time is the start time of the heating period; the first time is the end time of the heating period. Wherein, optionally, for the first moment, it means that at the first moment, the smart water heater can heat the water in the water tank to the pre-target temperature, and then, in order to prevent the temperature of the water in the water tank from dropping too fast, the smart water heater can use The low-power heat preservation mode is used for heating, and the heating process corresponding to the heat preservation mode is not included in the heating period. The standard temperature is the temperature at which the water temperature changes after the hot water in the water tank drops to a certain level. The standard temperature is related to the ambient temperature and can be set according to specific needs and conditions, which will not be repeated here.

In this embodiment, according to the spacing of each first moment in the water time series, when the spacing is greater than the preset spacing threshold, the heating process corresponding to each first moment is processed as an independent heating process, and the corresponding heating period is determined, and then Generate heating program information. According to the habitual water usage time of the target user, the smart water heater will be heated for a period of time in advance to meet the user's water usage habits. At the same time, when the habitual water usage time is not used, the smart water heater will stop heating to save energy and reduce electricity consumption.

In a possible case, when the interval between the first moments in the water time series is small, for example, less than or equal to the preset interval threshold, there is mutual influence between the heating processes corresponding to the multiple first moments. Therefore, it is necessary to According to the water consumption corresponding to each first moment, determine the residual temperature of the hot water in the water tank after the water use process corresponding to each first moment ends, and continue to iteratively calculate the heating duration corresponding to the next first moment based on this residual temperature. , until it no longer affects the next first moment, or until the end. Further, a method for determining heating program information under the condition that the heating process corresponding to each water usage habit data has an influence is determined. In this embodiment, by determining the residual temperature of the hot water in the water tank after the water use process corresponding to each first moment ends, and continuing to iteratively calculate the heating duration corresponding to the next first moment based on the residual temperature, accurate calculation In each heating process, the influence of water consumption on the heating time avoids the problem of mutual influence due to the similar water consumption time, and ensures that the intelligent water heater can supply water at the corresponding habitual water temperature at the habitual water consumption time of each target user, improving the water heater. The control accuracy of the heating period.

Step S103 , controlling the intelligent water heater to perform heating according to the heating program information, so that the intelligent water heater can supply water at the corresponding habitual water temperature at the habitual water consumption time of each target user.

Exemplarily, after the heating program information is determined, the corresponding heating period is determined according to the heating program information, so that the intelligent water heater can heat and stop at an accurate heating time point, and the intelligent water heater performs heating according to the heating period indicated by the heating program information, The heating can be completed before the habitual water time of each target user, so that the smart water heater can supply water at the corresponding habitual water temperature at the habitual water time of each target user, and at the same time, in the case of no water demand, the smart water heater stops heating , reduce ineffective heating, improve power utilization, and achieve precise and intelligent heating control in multi-person water use scenarios.

In this embodiment, the water habit data of at least two target users are acquired by detecting the target users, and the water habit data are used to represent the user's habitual water usage time and habitual water temperature; according to the water habit data of at least two target users, determine the heating Program information, wherein the heating program information is used to indicate the heating period of the smart water heater; according to the heating program information, the smart water heater is controlled to perform heating, so that the smart water heater can supply water at the corresponding habitual water temperature at the habitual water consumption time of each target user. Since the heating program information is determined by detecting the target user and according to the data of the water usage habits corresponding to the target user, the dynamic determination of the heating program information is realized, so that when the combination of target users is different, the formed heating program information is also different. In the scenario of multi-person water use by an indeterminate number of people, the heating period cannot be determined due to the inability to match the water habits of different users, so the problem of intelligent heating control cannot be performed, which improves the heating efficiency of the water heater and reduces energy consumption.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a method for controlling an intelligent water heater provided by another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4 , the method for controlling an intelligent water heater provided in this embodiment is based on the method for controlling an intelligent water heater provided in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 . , and step S102 is further refined, the intelligent water heater control method provided in this embodiment includes the following steps:

In step S201, target users are detected, and data of water usage habits of at least two target users is acquired, and the water usage habits data are used to represent the user's habitual water usage time and habitual water temperature.

Wherein, the water habit data includes the first time, and the first temperature and water consumption corresponding to the first time respectively.

Step S202, correspondingly acquire at least two first moments according to the data of the water habit of the at least two target users.

Step S203 , generating a water use time series according to the at least two first moments, where the water use time series includes at least two orderly arranged first moments.

Step S204, determining the continuous water use time in the water use time series.

Exemplarily, if in the water use time series, there is a first moment whose distance from an adjacent next first moment is smaller than a preset threshold, the first moment is a continuous water consumption moment. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a time series of water use provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5 , the time series of water use includes three first moments A, B, and C, and each first moment corresponds to a target respectively The user's habitual water use time, wherein the interval between the first time A and the first time B is 8 hours, which is greater than the preset interval threshold (for example, 3 hours, not shown in the figure), therefore, the first time A is not continuous Water time. The distance between the first time B and the first time C is 1 hour, which is less than the preset interval threshold. Therefore, the first time B is the time for continuous water use.

Step S205: Determine the second temperature according to the water consumption corresponding to the continuous water use time, and the second temperature is the water supply temperature of the intelligent water heater after the water use process corresponding to the continuous water use time is completed.

Step S206: Determine the heating duration corresponding to the next first time adjacent to the continuous water use time according to the second temperature and the difference value of the first temperature corresponding to the next first time adjacent to the continuous water use time.

In step S207, the heating program information is determined according to the heating duration corresponding to the next first time adjacent to the continuous water time.

Exemplarily, the continuous water use time, like other first time moments, corresponds to a water use process of the target user. After the target user uses water, the water in the water tank is continuously consumed and mixed with cold water, so the water temperature will drop. The degree of water temperature drop is related to the water consumption. The greater the water consumption, the faster the temperature drops, that is, the lower the residual temperature of the water in the water tank. The second temperature is the residual temperature of the water in the water tank of the smart water heater after the water use process corresponding to the continuous water use time is over, which can be equivalent to the water outlet temperature of the smart water heater.

Further, after determining the second temperature, determine the time corresponding to the next first time (the first time C in FIG. 5 ) adjacent to the continuous water use time (the first time B in FIG. 5 ). The first temperature, the first temperature is determined according to the data of water usage habits, and details are not repeated here. Furthermore, according to the difference between the second temperature and the first temperature, and the preset heating efficiency, such as the increase value of the water temperature per minute, the heating duration corresponding to the next first moment can be determined. Further, before the next first moment of continuous water use, heating is carried out in advance for the length of time, so as to ensure that at the next first moment of continuous water use, the outlet water temperature of the intelligent water heater is the corresponding first temperature, that is, customary water. temperature.

Exemplarily, if there is still another first moment after the next first moment adjacent to the continuous water use moment, and relative to the another first moment, the next first moment adjacent to the continuous water use moment still remains. is a new continuous water use time, then the next first time adjacent to the continuous water use time is iteratively calculated as a new continuous water use time, until the continuous water use time no longer occurs or the time series of water use ends.

In this embodiment, the residual temperature of the hot water in the water tank after the water use process corresponding to the continuous water use time is completed is determined according to the water consumption corresponding to each continuous water use time, and based on this residual temperature, the corresponding first time is continued to be determined. Iteratively calculates the heating time, accurately calculates the influence of water consumption on the heating time in each heating process, avoids the problem of mutual influence due to the similar water consumption time when continuous water consumption occurs, and ensures that the intelligent water heater can be used in each target. At the user's habitual water time, the water is supplied at the corresponding habitual water temperature to improve the control accuracy of the heating period of the water heater.

Optionally, in another possible implementation manner, the method further includes:

Step S208 , if the distance between two adjacent first moments in the water use time series is less than a preset value, obtain the water consumption corresponding to the two adjacent first moments.

Step S209 , according to the sum of the water consumption corresponding to the two adjacent first moments, determine the corrected temperature of the previous first moment in the two adjacent first moments.

Step S210: Determine the heating program information according to the corrected temperature of the previous one of the two adjacent first moments.

Exemplarily, when it is determined that the interval between two adjacent first moments in the time series of water consumption is smaller than the preset threshold, it indicates that there is continuous water consumption. In this embodiment, in order to improve the electric energy utilization rate of the intelligent water heater and reduce the energy consumption, it is realized by precise control of the heating period and the heating temperature, and the time redundancy and temperature redundancy are relatively low. In the case of continuous water use, due to the close distance between two or more times of water use, after heating based on the previous water use process, due to the low temperature redundancy, it may cause that after the previous water use process is over, the water in the water tank will be lost. The residual temperature is too low, so that in the next heating process, the heating time is not enough to reach the corresponding user habitual temperature, which leads to the failure of temperature control and affects the user experience.

In the steps of this embodiment, after judging that the distance between two adjacent first moments is smaller than the preset threshold, the total water consumption is calculated by adding the water consumption corresponding to the two first moments, that is, the two water consumption processes are combined It is a water use process, and according to the sum of the water consumption corresponding to the two first moments, the corrected temperature of the previous first moment in the two adjacent first moments is determined. At this time, the corrected temperature of the previous first moment is similar to The first temperature is higher than that of the original first time, because the temperature redundancy of the water process of the immediately following first time is increased. In the water use process corresponding to the previous first moment, more cold water can be mixed in by controlling, so that the actual water temperature can reach the water habitual temperature.

Optionally, after step S210, it may further include:

Step S211 , at the previous first moment among the two adjacent first moments, send out prompt information, where the prompt information is used to inform the target user that the current water temperature is higher than the target user's habitual water temperature.

Exemplarily, since the temperature redundancy was added at the previous first moment, during the water use process of the target user at the previous first moment, the outlet water temperature of the water heater is higher than the habitual water temperature, which needs to be mixed with cold water for adjustment. , by issuing a prompt message at this moment to inform the target user that the current water temperature is higher than the target user's habitual water temperature, and in the case where automatic muddy water adjustment cannot be achieved, remind the user to mix the water temperature adjustment with cold water to improve water safety. performance and user experience with water.

Step S211 , according to the heating program information, control the smart water heater to perform heating, so that the smart water heater can supply water at the corresponding customary water temperature at the customary water usage time of each target user.

In this embodiment, the implementation manner of step S201 and step 211 is the same as the implementation manner of step S101 and step S103 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 of the present invention, and details are not repeated here.
