Based on the hardware architecture of the water heater, the embodiment of the control method of the water heater is provided.
In the first embodiment of the control method of the water heater provided by the invention, the water heater is a gas water heater, and particularly, the purpose of heating water is achieved by heating cold water through gas. Referring to fig. 2 to 4, the water heater includes a heating portion 11, a water inlet pipe 12 and a water outlet pipe 13, the heating portion 11 is communicated with the water inlet pipe 12 and the water outlet pipe 13, cold water flows from the water inlet pipe 12 to the heating portion 11, and the cold water is heated in the heating portion 11 and then flows out from the water outlet pipe 13 for a user to use, so as to heat water for the user.
The water inlet pipe 12 is provided with a water amount adjusting part 14, the water amount adjusting part 14 includes a first flow channel 143 and a second flow channel 144, and at least one of the first flow channel 143 and the second flow channel 144 is provided with a water amount adjusting device. The water inlet pipe 12 adjusts the amount of inlet water through the water amount adjusting part 14, so as to adjust the amount of inlet water according to the use requirement.
It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the pipe diameters of the first flow passage 143 and the second flow passage 144 may be the same or different, and specifically, in order to achieve stable flow under different water pressures, the pipe diameter of the first flow passage 143 may be set to be smaller to play a certain role in limiting the flow, for example, the pipe diameter of the first pipe is smaller than the pipe diameter of the second flow passage 144, and the water amount adjusting device is disposed on the second flow passage 144, and when the user has a smaller demand for water amount, the water amount adjusting device may be controlled to close the second flow passage 144, so that the second flow passage 144 is not conducted, and cold water enters only through the first flow passage 143 with a smaller pipe diameter, so as to reduce the water amount, and the water flow is smaller based on the fact that the first flow passage 143 is connected with a throttle. When the water demand of the user is large, the water quantity adjusting device opens the second flow passage 144, cold water enters through the first flow passage 143 and the second flow passage 144, and the water flow is large.
Because the time difference exists between the process of turning on the water switch and the process of finishing ignition, when the water switch is just turned on, water entering the water inlet pipe and water discharged from the water outlet pipeline are both cold water, hot water cannot be discharged until ignition is finished, and a user can wait for the hot water to be discharged before starting water use. However, in the process of bathing, the user inevitably turns on the water switch after turning off the water switch (such as turning off the water switch and applying shower gel). In the process of using the water heater, the water switch is closed and then the water is turned on within a short time to form secondary boiled water, the time of closing the water is short before the secondary boiled water is started, the water in the water outlet pipeline is hot water, however, after the secondary boiled water is boiled and before the ignition is finished, the cold water entering the water inlet pipe still is cold water, the cold water can neutralize the water on the heating part or the water outlet pipeline, the water outlet temperature has obvious fluctuation (is hot and cold), and the use effect is influenced.
Based on the fact that the water inflow of the water heater in the embodiment of the invention can be adjusted, the embodiment combines the control of the water inflow of the water inlet pipe during secondary water boiling to reduce the amount of cold water entering the water inlet pipe, so that the fluctuation of the water outlet temperature can be greatly reduced, and the heating effect of the water heater is improved.
Specifically, referring to fig. 5, the control process of the water heater includes the following steps:
and step S10, receiving an opening instruction of the water switch, and acquiring the time interval between the current time point and the closing time point of the previous closing of the water switch.
And step S20, when the time interval is smaller than or equal to a first preset time interval, controlling an ignition needle of the water heater to discharge and opening a gas valve of the water heater.
And step S30, when the induction needle induces the flame signal, the opening degree of the water quantity adjusting device is increased so as to increase the water inflow of the water inlet pipe.
Wherein, before the flame signal is sensed by the sensing needle, the water inflow of the water inlet pipe is greater than zero. In this manner, it is ensured that a water flow signal can be detected before the water heater is fired.
The water using switch is a switch used for boiling water or turning off water on the water heater, and when the water using switch is turned on by a user, an opening instruction of the water using switch is received. The method comprises the steps of obtaining a current time point and a closing time point when a water switch is closed for the previous time, determining a time interval between the current time point and the closing time point when the water switch is closed for the previous time, judging whether the time interval is smaller than or equal to a first preset time interval, and if so, judging that the boiled water is boiled for the second time (the boiled water is boiled again within a short time after the water switch is closed). At the moment, under the action of the water quantity adjusting device, the water inlet quantity of the water inlet pipe is small, the entering of cold water can be reduced, and further the phenomenon that the water temperature fluctuation is influenced due to the fact that the entering cold water quantity is too large during secondary water boiling is prevented. Therefore, if the boiled water is determined to be the secondary boiled water, the ignition needle of the water heater is controlled to discharge and the gas valve of the water heater is opened, so that the water heater is ignited to heat. Until detecting the ignition and accomplishing the back, increase water regulation apparatus's aperture again to resume the inflow of inlet tube, at this moment, because the ignition is accomplished, the water that the inlet tube got into is discharged again after all being heated, therefore can not influence the temperature after the water yield increase of inlet tube.
It will be appreciated that the valve of the water volume regulating device is in a throttled state or in a closed state before boiling water. In this embodiment, the water quantity adjusting device may be disposed on one of the first flow channel and the second flow channel, so that when the water quantity adjusting device is in a closed state, the water inlet pipe may feed water based on the flow channel where the water quantity adjusting device is not disposed, and the water heater may detect a water flow signal before ignition, so as to meet the ignition requirement. This embodiment can also be in first runner with all set up on the second runner water regulation apparatus, water regulation apparatus is the choke valve, before the boiling water, water regulation apparatus is in throttle state, the inlet tube can be based on water regulation apparatus's throttle effect reduces the inflow of inlet tube makes simultaneously the inflow of inlet tube is greater than zero for the rivers sensor can detect the rivers signal, satisfies the requirement of igniteing.
Or when the water quantity adjusting devices are arranged on the first flow channel and the second flow channel, the water quantity adjusting devices on the first flow channel are throttle valves; the water amount adjusting device positioned on the second flow passage is the stop valve. Before the water using switch is opened, the stop valve is in a closed state, the throttle valve is in a throttling state, the water inflow of the water inlet pipe is small, if the water is boiled for the second time, the ignition needle of the water heater is controlled to discharge electricity and the gas valve is opened, and after a flame signal is detected, the stop valve is opened to increase the water inflow of the water inlet pipe. The throttle valve on the first flow passage is one of a capillary tube, a throttle ring and a memory alloy. The ignition device has the function of stabilizing the flow during ignition, and avoids the influence on ignition caused by too small or too large water pressure.
When the time interval is greater than the first preset time interval, it is described that the time for the current boiled water to be closed for the previous time by the water switch is longer, that is, the current boiled water is not the secondary boiled water, and at this time, the water in the water outlet pipe may already be cold water, and the problem of the water temperature cannot be solved by reducing the cold water inflow, so that the opening degree of the water amount adjusting device is increased, and at the same time, the ignition needle of the water heater is controlled to discharge and the gas valve of the water heater is opened, so that the water heater is ignited according to the maximum inflow, and the ignition is prevented from being influenced by the over-low water pressure.
It should be noted that the size of the first preset time interval is 1min to 5min, and in a preferred embodiment, the size of the first preset time interval is 3 min. Namely when the water is boiled again within 1-5 min, the water inflow of the water heater is controlled and the ignition is controlled in the above way, so that the fluctuation of the water temperature of the water heater is small.
When the water quantity adjusting device is a stop valve, the water quantity adjusting device can be arranged on the first flow channel or the second flow channel only so as to ensure that at least one flow channel can have a water flow signal. Based on this, the realization that the valve of the water quantity adjusting device is in a closed state before boiling water is as follows:
the flame signal is induced at the response needle, the increase water regulation apparatus's aperture to the increase after the step of the inflow of inlet tube, still include:
step S40, when receiving the closing instruction of the water switch, closing the valve of the water quantity adjusting device;
and step S50, closing the gas valve.
That is, when the water is used, the valve of the water quantity adjusting device is closed each time, so that at least one flow channel is in a closed state, and one flow channel is in an open state (in a preferred embodiment, the flow channel with a large pipe diameter is correspondingly provided with the water quantity adjusting device), if the boiled water is the second boiled water, the water inlet pipe can only feed water through one flow channel, and the water inlet quantity of the water inlet pipe is reduced. And if the next boiled water is not the secondary boiled water, opening the valve of the water quantity adjusting device and increasing the water inflow of the water inlet pipe.
In this embodiment, closing during the water switch, then close water regulation apparatus's valve for the inhalant canal of inlet tube diminishes, diminishes the inhalant canal of inlet tube in advance, makes next time boiling water be when the secondary begins, can in time reduce the inflow of inlet tube, improves the temperature stability of secondary boiling water.
It should be noted that the water volume adjusting device is different in type and the way of controlling the valve of the water volume adjusting device to close is different.
In an optional embodiment, the stop valve is a normally closed stop valve, and when the normally closed stop valve is powered off, the valve of the stop valve is in a closed state based on the physical structure action of the stop valve, that is, when the power is off, the stop valve closes the first flow passage or the second flow passage. When the normally closed stop valve is electrified, the valve of the stop valve is opened based on the electromagnetic action, and the stop valve is in an open state, namely when the stop valve is electrified, the stop valve opens the first flow passage or the second flow passage. Therefore, when the closing instruction of the water consumption switch is received, the step of closing the valve of the water quantity adjusting device is to control the water quantity adjusting device to be powered off when the closing instruction of the water consumption switch is received. When the induction needle senses a flame signal, the opening degree of the water quantity adjusting device is increased, and the step of increasing the water inflow of the water inlet pipe is to control the water quantity adjusting device to be electrified when the induction needle senses the flame signal.
This embodiment adopts normally closed stop valve, cuts off the power supply when the water switch is closed, can make the stop valve close first runner or the second runner can save the power consumption again.
In another optional embodiment, the stop valve is a normally open stop valve, and when the normally open stop valve is in a power failure, based on the physical structure of the stop valve, the valve of the stop valve is in an open state, that is, when the power failure occurs, the stop valve opens the first flow passage or the second flow passage. When the normally open stop valve is electrified, the valve of the stop valve is opened based on electromagnetic action and is in a closed state, namely when the stop valve is electrified, the stop valve closes the first flow passage or the second flow passage. Therefore, when the closing instruction of the water switch is received, the step of closing the valve of the water quantity adjusting device is to control the water quantity adjusting device to be electrified so that the water quantity adjusting device closes the first flow passage or the second flow passage when the closing instruction of the water switch is received. When the induction needle senses a flame signal, the opening degree of the water quantity adjusting device is increased to increase the water inflow of the water inlet pipe, and the water quantity adjusting device is controlled to be powered off to open the first flow channel or the second flow channel when the induction needle senses the flame signal.
In this embodiment, adopt normally open stop valve, when closing with the water switch, control water yield adjusting device is gone up the electricity, can make the stop valve is closed first runner or the second runner to reduce the water inlet runner of inlet tube, however normally open stop valve need be power-on control all the time, consumes the electric energy.
In this respect, this embodiment provides a further embodiment, wherein, if the water amount adjusting device is a normally open valve, after the step of closing the valve of the water amount adjusting device, the method further comprises:
and after the first preset time interval, when the opening instruction of the water use switch is not received, opening the valve of the water quantity adjusting device.
Wherein the first preset time interval is the same as the first preset time interval in the secondary water boiling judgment, and the first preset time interval is 1-5 min.
That is, in this embodiment, the water amount adjusting device is a normally open stop valve, and when the water switch is closed, the water amount adjusting device is controlled to be powered on, so that the valve of the water amount adjusting device is closed, and after the water amount adjusting device is closed for a first preset time interval, the water amount adjusting device is controlled to be powered off, so that the valve of the water cooling adjusting device is opened. Therefore, the water quantity adjusting device can be prevented from being in a power-on state all the time and consuming electric energy. In addition, based on that the opening instruction of the water using switch is not received within the first preset time interval, the water is not boiled for the second time within a short time when the water is boiled again next time, and the water inlet pipe does not need to be throttled, so the water quantity adjusting device is controlled to be powered off.
In the embodiment of the invention, a water quantity adjusting part is arranged on a water inlet pipe, a water quantity adjusting device is arranged on the water quantity adjusting part to adjust the water flow of a flow passage so as to realize the control of the water inflow of the water inlet pipe, when an opening instruction of a water using switch is received, whether the boiled water is secondary boiled water in a short time or not is determined according to the time interval between the current time point and the closing time of the previous closing of the water using switch, if yes, the water inflow of the water inlet pipe is reduced until the ignition is finished based on the control of the water quantity adjusting part, and the opening degree of the water quantity adjusting device is increased after a flame signal is sensed. So, before the completion of lighting a fire, the inflow based on the inflow is little, and the cold water that gets into heating portion then is few, can avoid reducing the temperature of previous heating this moment, and it is undulant to reduce the temperature, improves the result of use of water heater.
