Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
A control method, a control apparatus, a drinking water supply apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium for replacement of a water bucket according to embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method of controlling replacement of a water tub according to one embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that the control method for replacing the water bucket according to the embodiment of the present invention may be applied to the control device for replacing the water bucket according to the embodiment of the present invention, and the control device may be configured in the drinking water supply device. The drinking water supply device can comprise a water container and a water pump, and the water pump is used for supplementing water to the water container from the water barrel when in a working state. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the drinking water supply device may be a water dispenser, a water purifier, or the like, for example, the drinking water supply device may be a bottom-mounted water dispenser or the like.
As shown in fig. 1, the control method of the replacement of the water tub may include:
and S110, when the water in the water container is detected to be not full, replenishing water for the water container from the water bucket through the water pump.
Alternatively, the water level information of the water container may be detected first, and the full water state in the water container may be determined according to the water level information. And when the water in the water container is detected to be not full, the water pump is started, and water is supplemented to the water container from the water barrel through the water pump. In the present exemplary embodiment, the water container is understood to be a container for holding water, for example, a water storage tank, a hot tank, a cold tank, etc., in a drinking water supply device.
And S120, determining the working time of the water pump and detecting the water level information of the water container in the process of replenishing water to the water container.
Optionally, during the water replenishing process of the water container by pumping water from the water bucket through the water pump, the current working time of the water pump from the starting can be determined, and the current water level information of the water container can be detected. As an example, the current water level information of the water container may be detected by a water level detecting device such as a water level sensor.
And S130, judging whether the water bucket is lack of water or not according to the working time of the water pump and the water level information of the water container.
Optionally, whether the water bucket is lack of water is judged according to the time length of the water pump and the water level change of the water container. As an example, it may be determined whether the operation time of the water pump is greater than or equal to a target operation time, wherein the target operation time is used to indicate a maximum operation time of the water pump from the empty water container to the full water container; judging whether the water container is full of water or not according to the water level information, and if the working time of the water pump is more than or equal to the target working time and the water container is judged not to be full of water according to the water level information, judging that the water bucket is short of water; and if the working time of the water pump is less than the target working time and the water container is judged to be full of water according to the water level information, judging that the water bucket has water.
It should be noted that, in an embodiment of the present invention, the target operating time may be preset, for example, a calibration value that may be preset according to actual experience; alternatively, the target operating time may also be determined by: and acquiring the size of the water container, and determining the target working time according to the size of the water container. That is, the maximum operating time of the water pump from the empty state to the full state of the water container can be determined by the size of the water container.
As an example, the specific implementation of determining the target working time according to the size of the water container may be as follows: and acquiring the flow speed and flow of the water pump, and determining the target working time according to the flow speed and flow of the water pump and the size of the water container. That is, the maximum operating time of the water pump from the empty state to the full state of the water container can be determined according to the volume of the water container, the flow rate and the flow rate of the water pump. For example, in the case that the flow rate and the flow rate of the water pump are the same, the larger the volume of the water container is, the larger the corresponding target working time is; or, under the condition that the volume of the water containers is the same, the larger the flow speed and the flow of the water pump are, the smaller the corresponding target working time is.
It should be noted that, in an embodiment of the present invention, the target operation time depends on whether the drinking water supply device is powered on, wherein the target operation time when the drinking water supply device is powered on is longer than the target operation time when the drinking water supply device is not powered on. That is, the operation state of the drinking water supply device can be divided into a powered-on state and a non-powered-on state, wherein, since the drinking water supply device also needs a certain time in the process of powering on, when the target operation time is determined, the target operation time of the drinking water supply device in the powered-on state should be longer than the target operation time of the drinking water supply device in the non-powered-on state, that is, the target operation time determined in the powered-on state should be longer, so that the accuracy of the determination result of whether the water tank is lack of water can be ensured.
According to the control method for replacing the water bucket, when the water in the water container is detected to be not full, the water is replenished for the water container from the water bucket through the water pump, in the process of replenishing water for the water container, the working time of the water pump is determined, the water level information of the water container is detected, and whether the water bucket is lack of water or not is judged according to the working time of the water pump and the water level information of the water container. Need not to increase other parts promptly (like weight detector etc.), only need confirm whether the cask lacks water according to the relation of the operating time of water pump and flourishing water container water level, simple structure easily produces, easily realizes, has saved the detection cost, has promoted user's use and has experienced.
In order to further enhance the user experience and implement the function of detecting whether the water bucket is replaced, optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the drinking water supply device may further include a door control switch. Wherein, in an embodiment of the present invention, after determining that the water tub is out of water, the control method may further include: and detecting whether the door control switch is opened or closed once, if the door control switch is opened or closed once, judging that a new water bucket is replaced, and detecting whether the water in the water container is not full. For example, the drinking water supply device is a lower-mounted drinking water machine, the lower-mounted drinking water machine may include a cavity for placing the water bucket, and one side of the cavity may be provided with a door through which the water bucket is placed into the cavity or taken out of the cavity.
In an embodiment of the present invention, a gate control switch may be provided on the door, and whether the water bucket replacement is performed is determined by the gate control switch. For example, when the door control switch is detected to be opened and closed, the water bucket can be indicated to be replaced, whether the water in the water container is not full can be detected, if the water is not full, the water pump is started, and the step of supplementing water for the water container from the water bucket through the water pump is continuously executed; and if the water container is full of water, the water pump is closed.
Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the type of the gating switch may be limited according to requirements, for example, the gating switch may include a mechanical gating switch, a hall gating switch, a reed-type gating switch, and the like. For example, in the case of a mechanical door-controlled switch, as shown in fig. 2(a), the mechanical door-controlled switch may include a main body, a movable contact connected to the main body, and two leads connected to the main body, wherein when a door on a cavity in which a water bucket is placed in the drinking water supply device is closed, the movable contact is pressed, a mechanical contact connected to the movable contact contacts a spring plate to form a closed state, and resistance values of the two leads are small; when the door is opened, the movable contact extends, a mechanical point connected with the movable contact is separated from the spring piece to form a disconnected state, the resistance values of the two lead wires are large, and therefore whether the door control switch is switched once or not can be judged by detecting the resistance values of the two lead wires.
As another example, taking a hall-type door-controlled switch as an example, as shown in fig. 2(b), the hall-type door-controlled switch may include a hall module and a magnet, the hall-type door-controlled switch may be disposed on a door frame of the drinking water supply device, the magnet may be disposed on the door, and when the door is closed, the magnet is close to the hall module to form a closed state; when the door is opened, the magnet leaves the hall module, forming an off state. Thus, it is possible to determine whether the gate switch has been switched once by detecting the potential difference.
As another example, taking a reed-type gated switch as an example, as shown in fig. 2(c), the reed-type gated switch may include a reed module and a magnet. When the door is closed, the magnet is close to the reed pipe module to form a closed state; when the door is opened, the magnet leaves the dry reed pipe module to form a disconnected state.
In order to further improve the user experience, so that the user can more intuitively know whether the water bucket currently has water, optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined that the water bucket is short of water, the control method may further include: lighting a water shortage icon and/or a prompting lamp, and flashing the water shortage icon and/or the prompting lamp at a preset frequency; and when the water bucket is judged to be replaced by a new water bucket, the water shortage icon and/or the prompting lamp is/are turned off. That is, when the water shortage of the water bucket is judged, the water shortage icon and/or the prompting lamp can be flickered to remind a user that the water bucket is anhydrous and needs to be replaced. And during the water shortage period of the water bucket, when the opening and closing actions of the door control closing are detected, the water bucket is replaced completely, and the water shortage icon and/or the prompting lamp is/are turned off.
To improve the usability and feasibility of the present invention, optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, before detecting the water full state of the water container, the control method may further include: detecting whether the drinking water supply device is in a power-on state; when the water supply device is detected to be in a power-on state, executing the step of detecting the full water state of the water container, and when the water container is detected to be full of water, exiting the power-on state; and when the water supply device is detected to be in a non-power-on state, executing the step of detecting the water full state of the water container.
That is to say, the working state of the drinking water supply device can be divided into a power-on state and a non-power-on state, wherein when the drinking water supply device is in the power-on state, the full water state of the water container can be detected firstly, if the water container is in the full water state, the power-on state is exited, if the water container is detected to be not full, the step of supplementing water for the water container from the water bucket through the water pump is executed, and when the water container is detected to be full, the power-on state is exited. And when the drinking water supply device is in a non-powered state, the step of detecting the water full state of the water container can be executed, wherein when the water in the water container is detected to be not full, the water pump is started, and the step of supplementing water for the water container from the water bucket through the water pump is executed.
In order that those skilled in the art will be able to more clearly understand the present invention, the following description will be given by way of example.
For example, as shown in fig. 3, first, whether the drinking water supply device is powered on may be detected. Secondly, when the drinking water supply device is in a power-on state, the full water state of the water container is detected, and if the drinking water supply device is full of water, the water pump is turned off and the drinking water supply device is out of the power-on state. And if the water is detected to be not full, the water pump is turned on, and the full state of the water is detected. In the process of replenishing water for the water container from the bucket through the water pump, when the working time T of the water pump is less than the maximum working time T1 of the power-on water pump (namely the target working time in the power-on state), if the water in the water container is full, the water pump is closed, and the power-on state is exited; if the working time T of the water pump is more than or equal to the maximum working time T1 of the power-on water pump and the water in the water container is not full, the water pump is closed, the water bucket is judged to be water-free, and the water shortage icon flickers to prompt a user to replace the water bucket. When the door control switch is detected once, the water bucket is replaced, the water shortage icon is turned off, the water pump is turned on, the water full state is detected, and the previous steps are repeated.
And thirdly, when the drinking water supply device is in a non-powered state, the full water state of the water container can be detected. And if the water is not full, the water pump is started, and the full state of the water is detected in the process of replenishing water to the water container through the water pump. When the working time T of the water pump is less than the maximum working time T2 of the water pump (namely the target working time in the non-power-on state) and the water container is detected to be full of water, the water pump is closed; if the working time T of the water pump is more than or equal to the maximum working time T2 of the power-on water pump and the water in the water container is detected to be not full, the water pump is closed, the water bucket is judged to be anhydrous, and the water shortage icon flickers at the moment to prompt a user to replace the water bucket. After the door control switch is switched once, the water shortage icon is turned off when the water bucket is replaced, the water pump is turned on, the full water state is detected, and the previous steps are repeated.
In summary, in the control method for replacing the bucket in the embodiment of the invention, whether the bucket has water or not is determined according to the relation between the working time of the water pump and the water level of the water container, so as to remind a user that the bucket has no water and replace the bucket. The motion of replacing the water bucket is determined by the opening and closing of the lower door of the water bucket. And after the bucket is determined to be replaced, the control action of pumping water is recovered. From this, at whole in-process, need not to increase other parts (like weight detector etc.), only need confirm whether the cask lacks water according to the relation of the operating time of water pump and flourishing water container water level, simple structure easily produces, easily realizes, has saved the detection cost, has promoted user's use and has experienced.
