Step 102: and obtaining the water inflow information of the water taking container according to the pressure signal.
Here, the water intake information of the water intake container may refer to the volume of water in the water intake container.
For example, when the sensor at the bottom of the water getting container is a pressure sensor, the height of water in the water getting device can be determined according to the calculated information such as the pressure at the bottom of the water getting container, the density of water and the like, and then the water inflow information in the water getting container can be obtained according to the predetermined shape and size parameters of the water getting container; in practice, a memory may be provided in the water intake container, and the shape and size parameters (for example, the diameter parameters of the water intake container) of the water intake container may be stored in advance in the memory in the water intake container.
For example, when the sensor at the bottom of the water taking container is a weighing sensor, the water intake information in the water taking device can be determined according to the calculated information such as the mass of water in the water taking container, the density of water and the like.
In practice, this step may be performed by a processor in the water intake container.
Step 103: and when the water inflow of the water taking container reaches the target water inflow, sending an indication signal to the water supply device, wherein the indication signal is used for indicating the water supply device to stop supplying water.
Illustratively, the target water intake may be used to be an attribute of the water intake container, and the target water intake may be determined based on at least one of the following factors: the highest safe water level of the water intake container, the lowest safe water level of the water intake container, the size of the water intake container, the purpose of water usage by the user, and the amount of water usage per time preferred by the user.
Here, the maximum safe water level line of the water intake container is used to indicate an upper limit of the water level in the water intake container, and determines the maximum value of the target water level, that is, the water level of the water intake container is not allowed to exceed the maximum safe water level line of the water intake container; the minimum safe water level line of the water intake container is used to indicate the lower limit of the water level in the water intake container, which determines the minimum value of the target water level, that is, the water level of the water intake container is not allowed to be lower than the minimum safe water level line of the water intake container.
The dimensions in the water intake container are intended to indicate the volume of water that the water intake container can hold at most.
The water use purpose of a user can be used for representing the purpose that the user uses the water taking container to take water currently, different water use purposes have different water inflow requirements, and the user can determine the water use purpose before taking water and further determine the target water inflow; the purpose of the user's water usage includes, but is not limited to, boiling water, boiling noodles, making tea, boiling eggs, and the like.
Here, the water intake container can acquire data such as the highest safe water level line of the water intake container, the lowest safe water level line of the water intake container, the size of the water intake container, and the purpose of water usage by the user in various ways. In one embodiment, a human-machine interaction module, such as a button, a touch screen, a switch, etc., may be configured in the water intake container, and a user may input data such as the highest safe water level line of the water intake container, the lowest safe water level line of the water intake container, the size of the water intake container, and the purpose of the user's water usage. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the water intake container may be communicatively connected to a user terminal so that a user may enter data on the user terminal such as the highest safe water level line of the water intake container, the lowest safe water level line of the water intake container, the water intake container size, and the user's purpose of using water, and then the user terminal transmits the data entered by the user to the water intake container.
For example, historical statistics of the water usage by the user may be first obtained, and then the water usage per time preferred by the user may be determined based on the historical statistics of the water usage by the user.
In practical implementation, when a user uses the water taking container to take water each time, the water taking container can record the water consumption; in one embodiment, the water intake container may store the water usage per time, and then the water intake container determines the water usage per time preferred by the user based on historical statistics of the water usage by the user; in another embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the water intake container may also upload the water usage per time to the cloud server, and then the cloud server determines the water usage per time preferred by the user according to historical statistics of the water usage by the user, and finally the cloud server may transmit the water usage per time preferred by the user to the water intake container, or the cloud server may determine the target water intake according to the water usage per time preferred by the user (where the target water intake may also be determined in combination with at least one of the highest safe water level line of the water intake container, the lowest safe water level line of the water intake container, the size of the water intake container, and the purpose of the water usage by the user), and transmit the target water intake to the water intake container.
Optionally, for implementations where historical statistics of user water usage are obtained, in one example, the historical statistics of user water usage can include an average water usage per time period per cycle, where the length of time of the cycle can be predetermined, e.g., a cycle can be one day, one week, one month, one quarter, etc.; one cycle period may include a plurality of time periods, for example, when one cycle period is one day, the length of each time period may be one hour, two hours, or the like.
After historical statistical data of water consumption of a user is obtained, the time period of the current cycle period in which the current time is located can be determined, and the time period of the current cycle period in which the current time is located is recorded as a specific time period; then, the average water consumption per time in a specific time period in each cycle period is found out from historical statistical data of the water consumption of the user, and finally, the average water consumption per time in the specific time period in each cycle period can be used as the target water inflow.
For example, the average water usage amount of 2 pm to 3 pm on a weekday is counted as 800ml, and if the current time is between 2 pm and 3 pm on the weekday, the target water intake amount can be determined as 800 ml.
In practical implementation, data such as the highest safe water level of the water taking container, the lowest safe water level of the water taking container, the size of the water taking container, the purpose of water use for a user, and the water use amount of the user per time can be stored in a memory in the water taking container in advance, so that the processor in the water taking container can call the data conveniently.
Two ways of determining the target water inflow are illustrated below:
1) the target water inflow is fixed and unchangeable, and the target water inflow can be decided by the dress water upper limit of water intaking container, and the fixed storage of target water inflow information is in the NFC chip or the memory of water intaking container.
2) The water taking container is provided with the base in a matching mode, when the water taking container (such as a hot water kettle) leaves the base, the target water inflow is sent to the NFC communication module of the water taking container through the NFC mode by the base, and therefore the target water inflow of the water taking container does not need to be fixed and can be determined according to the purpose of water consumption at every time or user preference. This approach requires that the base of the water withdrawal container be equipped with an NFC module in communication with the water withdrawal container.
It should be noted that when the water intake of the water taking container does not reach the target water intake, the water taking container can continue to wait until the water intake of the water taking container reaches the target water intake; in practice, it may be determined whether the water intake amount of the water intake container reaches the target water intake amount every set time period, where the set time period is a short time period, for example, the set time period may be less than 2 seconds.
In practice, this step may be implemented by the processor in the water intake container in combination with the communication device, that is, when the processor in the water intake container determines that the water intake amount of the water intake container reaches the target water intake amount, an indication signal may be sent to the communication device in the water supply apparatus through the communication device of the water intake container; the communication means in the water supply may send an indication signal to the processor of the water supply; and then, the processor of the water supply device can send an indication signal to the water outlet switch so as to control the water outlet switch to stop supplying water.
By applying the method for controlling the water inflow, the water taking container can automatically control the water inflow per se according to the target water inflow; further, the target water intake can be determined by the purpose of the user's water usage or the user's preferred water usage per time, that is, the target water intake can reflect the actual water usage demand of the user, and thus, the water intake of the water intake container can be automatically controlled according to the actual demand.
For example, the processor in the water intake container may control the sensor of the water intake container to start operating after determining that the water intake container establishes a communication connection with the water supply device.
The processor of the water intake container may also disconnect the communication connection of the water intake container to the water supply device after sending the indication signal to the water supply device. In practice, the processor in the water intake container may also issue a communication disconnection instruction via the communication device of the water intake container to instruct the communication device of the water intake container to be communicatively connected to the communication device in the water supply apparatus when transmitting the instruction signal.
It can be seen that the water intake container remains in communicative connection with the water supply only when the user is taking water; when the user does not take water, the communication connection between the water taking container and the water supply device can be disconnected; thus, the power consumption of the water intake container and the water supply device can be saved.
In other embodiments of the invention, after the water taking container is in wireless communication connection with the water supply device, the target water inflow can be directly determined; the water outlet quantity can be detected by the water outlet of the water supply device, and the water supply device actively controls the water supply to stop when the target water inlet quantity required by the water taking container is reached. This approach requires the outlet to have the ability to detect the amount of water output.
Example two
In order to further embody the object of the present invention, a further example is provided on the basis of the first embodiment of the present invention.
Fig. 6 is a second flowchart of a method for controlling water inflow according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 6, the process may include:
step 601: the water taking container is placed under the water outlet of the water supply device.
Here, the water outlet may be a faucet or the like.
Step 602: and when the water supply device detects that a container is arranged below the water outlet, the water outlet switch is opened, and communication connection with the water taking container is established.
Here, whether or not there is a container under the nozzle may be detected by a detecting part of the water supply apparatus.
Step 603: the water taking container calculates the current water inflow according to the pressure signal acquired by the sensor.
Step 604: the water intake container judges whether the current water intake reaches the target water intake, if yes, step 605 is executed, and if not, step 603 is returned to.
That is, the calculated water intake may be compared with the target water intake, and if the target water amount has not been reached, the detection of the water level may be continued. Illustratively, the target water intake cannot be less than the minimum water volume specified for the container, cannot be greater than the maximum water volume specified for the container, and may be determined by the user's preferred water usage.
Step 605: the water intake container sends an instruction signal to the water supply device to instruct the water supply device to stop supplying water, disconnects the communication connection with the water supply device, and then, may end the process.
