Specific implementation mode
The preferred embodiment of the present invention described with reference to the accompanying drawings.It will be apparent to a skilled person that this A little embodiments are used only for explaining the technical principle of the present invention, it is not intended that limit the scope of the invention.For the ease of It describes, is described in detail by taking washing machine as an example in present embodiment.It will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention Water equipment is not limited only to washing machine, other water equipments, such as dish-washing machine are also suitable.
Since the water equipment that existing pot-type boiler usually requires to supply multiple points uses, and different usage scenarios There is different demands to water heater.For example, when user need using washing machine when, and other users be used the water heater into Row is taken a shower.But water temperature and the demand water temperature of washing machine used in taking a shower are often inconsistent.So, following two be there is The problem of aspect:
On the one hand, if current shower water temperature is higher than the demand water temperature of washing machine, if that being supplied according to shower water temperature To washing machine, the clothing in washing machine may be damaged because of high temperature;And if adjusting hot water according to washing machine demand water temperature Device output water temperature can make bath water temperature drop low, user experience is caused to be deteriorated.
If on the other hand, current shower water temperature is less than the demand water temperature of washing machine, if that according to shower water temperature Washing machine is supplied, the clothing in washing machine may not be washed clean because of low temperature;And if according to washing machine demand water temperature tune Whole water heater output water temperature can be such that shower water temperature increases, and user is caused scald equivalent risk occur.
In order to avoid the above problem, the present invention realizes intelligent hot water laundry by Collaborative Control water heater and washing machine Purpose.The specific method of the present invention is described in detail below.
As shown in Figure 1, the method for the present invention includes the following steps:
S110, before washing machine inflow, obtain the demand temperature set information of washing machine;
S120, before washing machine inflow, obtain the water flow of water heater;
S130, washing machine and/or heat are controlled according to the demand temperature set information of washing machine and the water flow of water heater The operation of hydrophone;
S140, during washing machine inflow, in real time obtain washing machine flow of inlet water and water heater water flow;
S150, compare washing machine flow of inlet water and water heater water flow, and according to comparing result control washing machine And/or the operation of the water heater.
In above-mentioned steps S110, demand temperature set information may include either with or without setting demand temperature and setting Determine set specific temperature value etc. in the case of demand temperature.The demand temperature set information can by directly or The mode connect determines.Specifically, for having set the situation of demand temperature, user, can be direct when using washing machine The demand temperature of washing machine is inputted, then the demand temperature is transferred to server.Or user use washing machine when, can also Other washing informations (the kinds of laundry information of such as washing mode, washing) for inputting washing machine, by control module (claim The first control module in book) it is determined indirectly (such as according to the calculating of other aforementioned washing informations or reckoning according to the washing information Go out) the demand temperature of washing machine, and the demand temperature is transmitted to server.In addition to this, it is any other it is rational, can obtain The mode of the demand temperature of the setting of washing machine is got, the present invention is applicable in.
In the step s 120, going out for water heater can be obtained by being set to the second flow sensor of water heater mouth Water flow, according to the water flow of water heater, it can be determined that go out current water heater and be in seizure condition (if water heater mouth Have flow, illustrate that water heater is in seizure condition) or free state (if water heater mouth illustrates hot water without flow Device is in free state).In step S140, can also in real time it be obtained by the second flow sensor of water heater mouth While the water flow of water heater, laundry is obtained in real time by being set to the first flow sensor at Water Inlet of Washing Machine The flow of inlet water of machine.
The control strategy of step S130 is described in detail referring to Fig. 2A and Fig. 2 B.Fig. 2A is the collaboration of the present invention Control method washes the detail flowchart of fill phase in laundry owner;Fig. 2 B are that the cooperative control method of the present invention is floated in washing machine Wash the detail flowchart of fill phase.
As shown in Figure 2 A, it is washed the stage in master, after washing machine booting, sets washing machine procedure and start washing machine.At this time may be used To obtain the water flow A of washing parameter (being specifically demand temperature set information) and water heater of washing machine by server. According to the demand temperature set information of washing machine, judge whether washing machine sets demand temperature, and in machine set In the case of demand temperature, the demand temperature value of washing machine is obtained.
In the present embodiment, after server obtains the water flow A of water heater:
As A > 0, in illustrating that water heater is used, it is possibly used for taking a shower, washes one's hands.In order to avoid using water heater Water temperature it is different and the risk brought, server can send out prompt message to washing machine or operating terminal, user carries according to this Show that information chooses whether to make washing machine delay water inlet.It intakes or does not make a choice in preset time when user's selection is not delayed When, server does not change the setting of water heater, directly controls washing machine inflow, and the inlet valve for such as controlling washing machine is opened, laundry Machine starts to intake.When user selects delay water inlet, server controls washing machine pause water inlet, then every prefixed time interval (such as 1 minute) obtains a water outlet of water heater flow, until when water outlet of water heater flow A=0, executes and operates in next step.
As the water flow A=0 of water heater, illustrate that water heater is in unused state.At this point, whether judging washing machine Set demand temperature.In the case of washing machine has set demand temperature, the need to washing machine of water heater are arranged in server Temperature is sought, and controls water intake valve of washing machine opening, starts to intake.In the case of washing machine does not set demand temperature, washing machine It is that heated condition, washing machine do not start to intake that water heater, which is arranged,.Such as control water intake valve of washing machine is opened, and starts to intake.
During water inlet, the water inlet flow B that server obtains washing machine (can be by being set to Water Inlet of Washing Machine The second flow sensor at place obtains), the water inlet flow B of washing machine and the water outlet flow A of water heater are compared, according to comparison As a result strategy control as follows is taken:
If A=B, illustrate that only washing machine is using water heater, then washing machine continues to intake;If A>B illustrates there be other User, at this point, server sends out prompt message, prompts the user whether selection washing machine delay water inlet using water heater.If User's selection is delayed into water washing, and server sends out pause water inlet instruction to washing machine, waits for that water outlet of water heater flow becomes A=again 0 (hot water device is in unused state), then start to intake.If user's selection is not delayed into water washing, washing machine is kept When advancing water state.
Washing machine has been executed after master washes and has been dehydrated, and the rinsing inflow stage is entered after dehydration.It should be noted that usually Master washes the stage to improve the washing effect of washing powder, needs the water of water heater supply washing machine proper temperature.And in rinsing rank Duan Tongchang only needs to be rinsed using normal-temperature water.
As shown in Figure 2 B, in the rinsing inflow stage, there is still a need for the water flow A for obtaining water heater for server.
If the water flow A of water heater>0, server sends out prompt message, prompts the user whether selection washing machine delay Water inlet.If user does not select delay to intake or do not make a choice at the appointed time, it is current that server does not change water heater State, washing machine start to intake.Such as water intake valve of washing machine is opened, water heater is exported with the water temperature of current water heater to laundry Machine.If user's selection is delayed into water washing, server sends out pause water inlet instruction to washing machine, while often spending the predetermined time (such as 1 Minute) a water outlet of water heater flow information is obtained, when water outlet of water heater flow A=0, carry out next step operation.
If the water flow A=0 of water heater, server controls water heater do not heat, water intake valve of washing machine is opened, and is started Water inlet.During washing machine rinsing inflow, the water inlet flow B of washing machine and the water outlet flow of water heater can also be compared A is controlled according to the above control strategy.After the completion of entire laundry cycles, the shutdown of server controls water heater or It is restored to the water heater setting before laundry.
In the preferred embodiment of the above method, water heater is gas heater.In addition it is also necessary to explanation, heat The water outlet flow A of hydrophone illustrates water heater shutdown or standby when being 0;When the water outlet flow A of water heater is more than 0, illustrate heat Hydrophone exports water outward, that is, is in use state.Since water heater supply multiple spot uses, the water outlet of water heater If mouthful flow A is equal to the water inlet flow of washing machine, illustrate that water heater only supplies use in washing machine water;And if water heater goes out Mouth of a river flow is more than the water inlet flow of washing machine, then illustrates that water heater also supplies other equipment water.
It should be noted that above-mentioned " server sends out prompt message, prompts the user whether selection washing machine delay water inlet " Instruction can remind user respectively every time, then be selected by users, can also set program in advance (can pass through laundry Machine, server, operating terminal etc. set or manually set automatically), and then when there is prompt message, automatically selected by program.
