It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the present application.
The pressurizing control method of the electric water heater can be applied to a pressurizing control system of the electric water heater. As shown in fig. 1, the boost control system of the electric water heater comprises a controller 101, a flow sensor 102 and a boost water pump 103, wherein the controller 101 is respectively connected with the boost water pump 103 and the flow sensor 102.
And a controller 101 for receiving a user's boost start instruction. According to the pressurization start command, a first flow value of a water inlet pipe of the electric water heater detected by the flow sensor 102 is obtained. If the first flow value is smaller than the first preset flow threshold value, the motor of the booster water pump 103 is controlled to stop running. If the first flow value is greater than or equal to the first preset flow threshold value and less than the second preset flow threshold value, accumulating the duration. If the duration time is longer than the preset duration time threshold, controlling the motor of the booster water pump 103 to operate according to the prestored first motor rotating speed.
The flow sensor 102 is configured to detect a water flow rate of a water inlet pipe of the electric water heater, and send the detected first flow rate value to the controller 101.
The booster pump 103 is configured to receive an operation instruction of the motor issued by the controller 101, perform operation according to the first motor rotation speed, and receive a closing instruction of the motor issued by the controller 101, and stop operation.
The following will describe in detail the pressurization control method of an electric water heater provided in the embodiment of the present application with reference to the specific implementation, and fig. 2 is a flowchart of the pressurization control method of an electric water heater provided in the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 2, specific steps are as follows:
in step 201, the controller receives a boost on command from a user.
In practice, the total water flow cannot be too low in order to ensure bath comfort of the electric water heater. For some home environments with low water pressure, in order to improve the water outlet flow, a user needs to additionally install a booster pump on the electric water heater so as to achieve the purpose of boosting. In the prior art, once the booster pump is started, the booster pump can only operate all the time according to fixed high power, and can not be started and stopped automatically according to the water consumption condition of a user, so that the motor of the booster pump runs idle under fixed high power after the user finishes water consumption, and the motor of the booster pump is easy to burn out and damage the booster pump. According to the electric water heater, the pressurizing button is arranged on the controller, and a user decides whether the electric water heater is in a pressurizing mode or not based on the pressurizing button. After the electric water heater is powered on, the power supply of the booster water pump is turned off by default, and the controller can detect whether a booster on instruction is received or not. And when the user presses the pressurizing button, the controller receives a pressurizing starting instruction of the user, and then the pressurizing mode is entered. Then, in the subsequent step, when the water pump is in a pressurizing mode, the flow sensor detects water flow, and the controller judges whether the pressurizing water pump needs to be started for pressurizing according to the water flow. Therefore, the booster water pump can be started or stopped according to the water consumption condition of a user, and the idling condition of the booster water pump is avoided.
Step 202, according to the boost opening instruction, the controller obtains a first flow value of a water inlet pipe of the electric water heater detected by the flow sensor.
In the implementation, after the boost starting instruction input by the user is obtained, the electric water heater enters a boost mode. The controller immediately enters a water flow signal monitoring state, namely a full-time flow change monitoring state, and receives the water flow of the water inlet pipe of the electric water heater detected by the flow sensor. The flow sensor detects the water flow of the water inlet pipe, the controller judges the water consumption condition of the user according to the water flow detected by the flow sensor, and whether the booster water pump needs to be started for boosting is determined according to the water consumption condition of the user. When the water flow of the water inlet pipe detected by the flow sensor is large, the water flow sensor indicates that a user is in a water using stage, and then the booster water pump is required to be started for boosting, so that the bathing comfort of the user is ensured. When the water flow of the water inlet pipe detected by the flow sensor is smaller, the fact that the user does not use water with larger amplitude at the moment is indicated, and the operation of the booster water pump is not needed. Therefore, according to the pressurization starting instruction, the controller obtains the first flow value of the water inlet pipe of the electric water heater detected by the flow sensor. Wherein the first flow value may be 1L/min.
And 203, if the first flow value is smaller than the first preset flow threshold value, the controller controls the motor of the booster water pump to stop running.
In an implementation, after the controller obtains a first flow value of the water flow detected by the flow sensor, the first flow value is compared with a first preset flow threshold. If the first flow value is smaller than the first preset flow threshold value, which indicates that the current user does not use water to a large extent, in order to avoid idle running of the motor, the controller controls the motor of the booster water pump to stop running, so that the motor of the booster water pump is in a stop running state. If the booster water pump is still running under high power at this time, namely the anhydrous motor idles, the motor is burnt out, and the booster water pump is damaged. Therefore, the comparison and judgment of the first flow value and the first preset flow threshold value ensure that the motor of the booster pump is controlled to idle when no water exists in a pipeline of the electric water heater or the water flow is very small, so that the idle damage of the booster pump is avoided.
In step 204, if the first flow value is greater than or equal to the first preset flow threshold and less than the second preset flow threshold, the controller accumulates the duration.
In an implementation, after the controller obtains a first flow value of the water flow detected by the flow sensor, the first flow value is compared with a first preset flow threshold. If the first flow value is greater than or equal to the first preset flow threshold and less than the second preset flow threshold, the user is indicated to be in a water using stage. In order to ensure that the user is using water continuously and avoid the situation that the user does not fully open the water mixing valve, the duration of the accumulated water flow is larger than or equal to the first preset flow threshold value and smaller than the second preset flow threshold value. If the follow-up discovery duration is longer, then indicate that the user is in continuous water consumption, and current water pressure is little and not the reason that the user did not open the water mixing valve completely, then just can start the booster pump and carry out booster pump water, satisfy user's water demand, improve user's bathing travelling comfort. The second preset flow threshold may be 4L/min to 5L/min.
And 205, if the duration time is longer than the preset duration time threshold, the controller controls the motor of the booster water pump to operate according to the prestored first motor rotating speed.
In implementation, if the subsequent finding duration is longer, the user is continuously using water, and the current water pressure is small and is not used for the reason that the water mixing valve is not completely opened, the booster pump can be started to carry out booster pump water. Therefore, the controller compares the accumulated duration time with a preset duration time threshold in real time, and if the duration time is longer than the preset duration time threshold, the controller controls the motor of the booster water pump to operate according to the prestored first motor rotating speed. The first motor speed may be a preset maximum speed of the booster pump. The preset duration threshold may be 2s to 4s. Therefore, various random factors are filtered through judgment of the second preset flow threshold value and the preset duration threshold value, and the low water pressure judgment accuracy is improved.
Furthermore, after the booster pump performs booster operation, in order to avoid that the pipeline system is damaged due to overlarge water pressure of the pipeline of the electric water heater after the booster pump boosts, the service life of the pipeline system is prolonged, and therefore the water flow of the water inlet pipe after the booster pump is monitored. Therefore, in order to avoid a large water pressure in the pressurized pipe system, the motor rotation speed of the motor of the booster water pump needs to be adjusted. The specific process is as follows:
step one, the controller obtains a second flow value of the water inlet pipe detected by the flow sensor.
In practice, in order to avoid that the water pressure of the pressurized pipeline system is high and the pipeline system of the pressurized water pump is damaged, the water pressure of the pressurized pipeline system needs to be detected. Because the larger the water flow is, the larger the water pressure is, so based on the water flow detected by the flow sensor, whether the motor rotation speed of the motor of the booster water pump needs to be adjusted can be judged. Therefore, the controller is initially required to acquire the second flow value of the inlet pipe detected by the flow sensor.
And step two, if the second flow value is larger than a third preset flow threshold value, the controller controls the rotating speed of the motor of the booster water pump to be reduced from the rotating speed of the first motor to the rotating speed of the second motor which is stored in advance, and controls the motor to operate according to the rotating speed of the second motor.
In the implementation, the controller receives the second flow value sent by the flow sensor, compares the second flow value with a third preset flow threshold, and if the second flow value is greater than the third preset flow threshold, the controller indicates that the water pressure of the pipeline system of the current electric water heater is greater, so that the motor rotation speed of the motor of the booster water pump needs to be reduced in order to ensure that the pipeline system is not damaged. The controller may control the rotational speed of the motor of the booster water pump to decrease from the first motor rotational speed to a pre-stored second motor rotational speed and control the motor to operate at the second motor rotational speed. The third preset flow threshold may be 8L/min to 10L/min, which is determined according to the actual application situation, and is not limited herein. Therefore, the pipeline system is damaged due to overlarge water pressure, and the service life of the pipeline system of the electric water heater is guaranteed.
Furthermore, in the pressurizing process, the pipeline system of the electric water heater is not damaged, the comfortableness of bath water of a user is guaranteed, so that the water flow of the water inlet pipe is required to be detected in real time by the flow sensor to be monitored all the time, the motor rotating speed of the motor of the pressurizing water pump is reduced when the water flow is large, and the motor rotating speed of the motor of the pressurizing water pump is improved when the water flow is small. The specific process is as follows:
and step A, the controller acquires a third flow value of a water inlet pipe of the electric water heater detected by the flow sensor.
In practice, under the condition of avoiding the damage of the pipeline system of the electric water heater caused by excessive water pressure in the pressurizing process, the comfort of bathing of a user needs to be ensured, that is, the water pressure of the pipeline system cannot be too low. Because the smaller the water flow, the lower the water pressure. Therefore, it is possible to determine whether or not the motor rotation speed of the motor of the booster water pump needs to be adjusted based on the water flow rate detected by the flow sensor. Therefore, the controller obtains the third flow value of the water inlet pipe of the electric water heater detected by the flow sensor.
And B, if the third flow value is smaller than a fourth preset flow threshold value, the controller controls the rotating speed of the motor to rise from the second motor rotating speed to the first motor rotating speed, and controls the motor to operate according to the first motor rotating speed, wherein the fourth preset flow threshold value is smaller than the third preset flow threshold value.
In implementation, after the controller obtains the third flow value sent by the flow sensor, the third flow value is compared with a fourth preset flow threshold, if the third flow value is smaller than the fourth preset flow threshold, the water pressure of the current pipeline system of the electric water heater is smaller, and in order to ensure the water consumption requirement of a user, the motor rotation speed of the motor of the booster water pump needs to be increased. Thus, the controller may control the rotational speed of the motor to increase from the second motor rotational speed to the first motor rotational speed and control the motor to operate at the first motor rotational speed. The fourth preset flow threshold is smaller than the third preset flow threshold, so that the pipeline system is not damaged after the motor rotation speed of the motor of the booster water pump is increased. Therefore, the water pressure can be stabilized within a certain range through judging the third preset flow threshold value and the fourth preset flow threshold value and then through controlling the duty ratio of the motor or the rotating speed of the motor of the booster water pump. Meanwhile, the proper water pressure range is adjusted according to the actual needs of users. Therefore, the pipeline system of the electric water heater can be protected, and the bath comfort of a user can be ensured.
Furthermore, after the bath of the user is finished, the booster pump is not needed to boost, so that the booster mode of the electric water heater can be closed, otherwise, the motor of the booster pump can idle, and the motor is burnt out. The specific process is as follows:
and step C, the controller receives a boost closing instruction of a user.
In the implementation, after the water consumption of a user is finished, the water mixing valve of the electric water heater is closed, hot water does not flow out of the water outlet of the electric water heater, cold water does not enter the inner container of the electric water heater from a tap water pipe connected with the water inlet pipe of the electric water heater, and if the booster water pump is continuously operated under high power, namely, the water-free motor idles, the motor is burnt out, and the booster water pump is damaged. Therefore, after the water consumption of the user is finished, the pressurizing button is pressed again, the controller receives a pressurizing closing instruction of the user, and the pressurizing water pump is turned off in the subsequent steps.
And D, controlling the motor of the booster water pump to stop running by the controller according to the booster closing instruction.
In the implementation, after the controller receives the boost closing instruction, the controller controls the motor of the boost water pump to stop running.
The embodiment of the application provides a pressurization control method of an electric water heater, which is characterized in that after a pressurization starting instruction is received, a pressurization mode is entered, and then whether a pressurization water pump needs to be started for pressurization is judged by judging the flow value of water flow detected by a flow sensor. When the detected flow value of the water flow is smaller than a first preset flow threshold value, the current user does not use water to a large extent, and in order to avoid damage caused by idle running of the motor, the controller controls the motor of the booster water pump to be in a stop running state. When the detected flow value of the water flow is larger than or equal to a first preset flow threshold and smaller than a second preset flow threshold, the current user is in a water consumption state, the duration of the current state is needed to be judged, if the duration is larger than the preset duration threshold, the user is in water consumption, the current water pressure is low, and then the motor of the booster water pump is controlled to boost.
