The invention provides a control method for detecting the water level in a soda water tank.
In the embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 1, the control method for detecting the water level in the soda water tank comprises the following steps:
s10, judging whether the controller receives a water outlet instruction;
s20, if yes, the controller controls the water level probe assembly to be electrified;
and S30, the controller controls the water level probe assembly to be powered off.
In the step S10, the issuing of the water outlet command may be implemented in various ways. For example, in some embodiments, it may be determined whether the controller receives a water out command by determining whether a water out button of the soda tank is pressed. In this embodiment, specifically, when the soda water tank is detected to be pressed by a water outlet button, the controller is considered to receive a water outlet instruction; and when the fact that the water outlet key of the soda water tank is not pressed is detected, the controller is determined not to receive a water outlet instruction. For example, in other embodiments, the controller may also determine whether a water out command is received by detecting the pressure at the outlet pipe of the soda tank. In this embodiment, specifically, a pressure sensor is arranged at a water outlet pipe of the soda water tank, and when the pressure sensor detects that the pressure at the water outlet pipe is greater than a preset value, it is determined that the controller receives a water outlet instruction; and when the pressure sensor detects that the pressure at the water outlet pipe is lower than a preset value, the controller is determined not to receive a water outlet instruction. For example, in other embodiments, it may also be determined whether the controller receives a water out command by detecting whether a water out valve of the soda tank is open.
In step S20, when the controller receives a water outlet command, the controller controls the water level probe assembly to be powered on. Typically, when the controller receives a water outlet command, the controller controls the soda tank to discharge water, such as controlling a water outlet valve of the soda tank to open. At this point, the water level in the soda tank is changing, and the water level probe assembly works to detect the real-time water level in the soda tank. Specifically, when the real-time water level in the soda water tank rises to the upper limit value of the water level, the fact that the soda water in the soda water tank is more or full is indicated, and at the moment, in order to prevent the soda water from overflowing, the controller sends a water inlet stopping instruction to control the soda water tank to stop water inlet, and if the water inlet valve arranged at the water inlet pipe of the soda water tank can be controlled to be closed, or a water pump arranged at the water inlet pipe of the soda water tank is controlled to stop working. When the water level in the soda water tank is limited to the lower limit of the water level, the soda water tank is indicated to be low in soda water, the soda water tank is in a water shortage state, the controller sends a water inlet instruction at the moment, the soda water tank is controlled to feed water, a water source is supplemented for the soda water tank, and the soda water is prepared.
In step S30, when the soda water tank does not discharge water, the water level probe assembly is controlled to be powered off, and at this time, the water level probe assembly stops working and does not detect the water level.
Preferably, in step S20, it is further determined whether the controller receives a water outlet stopping instruction, and if the controller receives the water outlet stopping instruction, the controller controls the water level probe assembly to power off; if the controller does not receive the water outlet stopping instruction, the controller controls the water level probe assembly to keep the power-on state. In step S30, when the water level probe assembly is powered off, it is continuously determined whether the controller receives a water outlet command.
In the invention, when the controller does not receive the water outlet instruction, the water level probe assembly is powered off. When the soda water tank is discharged, the water level probe assembly is electrified to work, so that the water level probe assembly can be prevented from being electrified for a long time, the time of electrolytic reaction between the water level probe assembly and the soda water can be greatly shortened, the service life of the water level probe assembly is prolonged, and the water level probe assembly is prevented from losing efficacy. Meanwhile, the power supply is saved.
As shown in fig. 2, the step S20 is followed by:
s41, detecting the real-time water level in the soda water tank by the water level probe assembly;
s42, when the real-time water level is lower than a preset water level lower limit value, the controller sends a water inlet instruction;
and S43, when the real-time water level reaches the preset upper limit value of the water level, the controller sends a water inlet stopping instruction.
In this embodiment, the lower limit value of the water level is preferably lower than the upper limit value of the water level, that is, when the soda tank starts to output water, the taste of the soda is affected in order not to reduce the concentration of the soda, so that the soda tank does not input water. When the water level in the soda water tank is lower than the lower limit value of the water level, the soda water tank is filled with water to replenish the soda water tank with water. Of course, the lower water level limit value may also be equal to the upper water level limit value, that is, when the water outlet of the soda water tank is detected, the water inlet of the soda water tank is controlled, so as to realize the synchronous water inlet and water outlet. At the moment, in order to ensure the taste of the soda water, the water inlet flow of the soda water tank is smaller than the water outlet flow.
In some embodiments, a water inlet valve is arranged on a water inlet pipe of the soda tank, and when the water level in the soda tank is lower than a lower water level limit value, the controller controls the water inlet valve to be opened so that the soda tank is filled with water; when the water level in the soda water tank reaches the upper limit value of the water level, the controller controls the water inlet valve to be closed, so that the soda water tank stops water inlet. In other embodiments, a water pump is arranged on the water inlet pipe of the soda tank, and when the water level in the soda tank is lower than the lower limit value of the water level, the controller controls the water pump to work so that the soda tank can feed water; when the water level in the soda water tank reaches the upper limit value of the water level, the controller controls the water pump to stop working, so that the soda water tank stops water inflow.
As shown in fig. 3, the step S42 is followed by:
s51, calculating the water inlet time of the single water inlet of the soda water tank by the controller;
and S52, when the water inlet time reaches the preset time, the controller controls the soda water tank to stop water inlet.
In step S51, the single water intake of the soda water tank means that the soda water tank starts to intake water to stop, and when the soda water tank enters water next time, the system counts again.
In this embodiment, the purpose of calculating the water inlet time of the single water inlet of the soda water tank is to prevent the soda water tank from being filled with water all the time due to inaccurate water level detection when the water level probe assembly fails. The preset time is 10-20S, and is preferably 15S. For this predetermined time, it is preferable that the water level of the soda water tank is allowed to rise at least from the lower water level limit value to the upper water level limit value.
Preferably, the water inlet time is the working time of a water pump of the soda water tank. In this embodiment, the water pump is arranged on the water inlet pipe of the soda water tank, and when the water pump works, water can be pumped into the soda water tank. By calculating the working time of the water pump, the accurate water inlet time can be obtained, and the misjudgment is prevented.
The step S52 is followed by:
s53, judging whether the real-time water level in the soda water tank is lower than a preset water level upper limit value or not by the controller;
and S54, if yes, the controller controls an alarm device to alarm.
In this embodiment, after the water inlet time reaches the preset time, if the water level in the soda water tank does not reach the upper limit value of the water level, it is determined that the water level probe assembly has a fault and the detection result is inaccurate, and at this time, the alarm device is controlled to give an alarm to remind a user to check and maintain the water level probe assembly. Specifically, the alarm device is any one of a buzzer, a voice alarm device, a display screen, a flashing lamp and the like.
Preferably, in step S10, when the controller receives that the water outlet button of the soda water tank is triggered, the controller regards as receiving the water outlet instruction. In this embodiment, the soda machine is provided with a water outlet button, and the water outlet button is electrically connected with the controller. When the water outlet key is pressed down, the controller receives a water outlet instruction, so that the soda water tank is judged to be discharged; and when the water outlet key is not pressed down, the controller does not receive a water outlet instruction, so that the soda water tank is judged not to discharge water.
Further, the control method for detecting the water level in the soda water tank further comprises the following steps:
when the controller receives a water inlet stopping instruction, the controller controls the water pump of the soda water tank to stop working, so that the soda water tank stops water inlet.
In some embodiments, the soda machine is provided with a water outlet stop button, and the water outlet stop button is electrically connected with the controller. When the water outlet stopping button is triggered, the controller receives a water inlet stopping instruction, so that the water pump of the soda water tank is controlled to stop working, the soda water tank stops water inlet, and water overflow is avoided. In other embodiments, when the water inlet time of the single water inlet of the soda water tank reaches a preset time, the system is considered to receive the water inlet stopping instruction.
As shown in fig. 4, the present invention also provides a soda machine, including:
a soda water tank 100;
a water level probe assembly 130 disposed within the soda tank 100; and
the controller 110 is electrically connected with the water level probe assembly 130, and the controller 110 is used for controlling the water level probe assembly 130 to be electrified when receiving a water outlet instruction; and the controller 110 is further configured to control the water level probe assembly 130 to be powered off when the water output command is not received.
In the foregoing, the issuing of the water outlet instruction may be specifically implemented in various ways. For example, in some embodiments, it may be determined whether the controller 110 receives a water out command by determining whether the water out button 120 of the soda can 100 is pressed. In this embodiment, specifically, when the soda water tank 100 detects that the water outlet button 120 is pressed, it is regarded that the controller 110 receives a water outlet instruction; when the water outlet button 120 of the soda water tank 100 is not pressed, the controller 110 is determined not to receive the water outlet instruction. For example, in other embodiments, the controller 110 may also determine whether a water out command is received by detecting the pressure at the outlet pipe of the soda tank 100. In this embodiment, specifically, a pressure sensor is disposed at the outlet pipe of the soda water tank 100, and when the pressure sensor detects that the pressure at the outlet pipe is greater than a preset value, it is determined that the controller 110 receives a water outlet instruction; when the pressure sensor detects that the pressure at the water outlet pipe is lower than a preset value, it is determined that the controller 110 does not receive a water outlet instruction. For example, in other embodiments, it may also be determined whether the controller 110 receives a water out command by detecting whether a water out valve of the soda tank 100 is open.
When the controller 110 receives a water outlet command, the controller 110 controls the water level probe assembly 130 to be powered on. Typically, when the controller 110 receives a water out command, the controller 110 controls the soda tank 100 to discharge water, such as controlling the outlet valve of the soda tank 100 to open. At this point, the water level in the soda tank 100 changes and the water level probe assembly 130 operates to detect the real-time water level in the soda tank 100. Specifically, when the real-time water level in the soda tank 100 rises to the upper limit of the water level, it indicates that there is more soda in the soda tank 100, or the soda tank is full, and at this time, in order to prevent the soda from overflowing, the controller 110 issues a water inlet stop instruction to control the soda tank 100 to stop water inlet, for example, the water inlet valve disposed at the water inlet pipe of the soda tank 100 may be controlled to close, or the water pump 140 disposed at the water inlet pipe of the soda tank 100 may be controlled to stop working. When the water level in the soda tank 100 drops to the lower limit of the water level, which indicates that there is less soda in the soda tank 100 and the soda tank 100 is in a water shortage state, the controller 110 sends a water inlet instruction to control the soda tank 100 to supply water to replenish the soda tank 100 with water, so as to prepare soda.
When the soda water tank 100 does not discharge water, the water level probe assembly 130 is controlled to be powered off, and at the moment, the water level probe assembly 130 stops working, and the water level is not detected.
In the present invention, when the controller 110 does not receive the water output command, the water level probe assembly 130 is powered off. Only when the soda can 100 is discharging water, the water level probe assembly 130 is powered on to work, so that the water level probe assembly 130 is prevented from being powered on for a long time, the time of electrolytic reaction between the water level probe assembly 130 and the soda can be greatly shortened, the service life of the water level probe assembly 130 is prolonged, and the water level probe assembly 130 is prevented from being out of work. Meanwhile, the power supply is saved.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the water level probe assembly 130 includes:
a high water level probe extending into the soda water tank 100 at a position near the top end for detecting the upper limit value of the water level of the soda water tank 100; and the combination of (a) and (b),
a low water level probe, which extends into the soda tank 100 at a position near the bottom end, is used to detect the lower limit value of the water level of the soda tank 100.
Specifically, the high water level probe and the low water level probe respectively extend from the top end of the soda water tank 100 to the inside of the soda water tank 100. Compared with a float type water level detection piece, the high water level probe and the low water level probe have the effects of being simple and convenient to install.
Specifically, the water level probe assembly 130 is used to detect the real-time water level within the soda can 100; the controller 110 is further configured to send a water inlet instruction when the real-time water level is lower than a preset water level lower limit value; and the controller 110 is further configured to issue a water inlet stopping instruction when the real-time water level reaches a preset upper water level limit value.
In this embodiment, the lower limit of the water level is preferably lower than the upper limit of the water level, that is, when the soda water tank 100 starts to output water, the taste of the soda water is not affected so that the soda water tank 100 does not input water. When the water level in the soda tank 100 is below the lower limit, the soda tank 100 is filled with water to replenish the soda tank 100. Of course, the lower water level limit may be equal to the upper water level limit, that is, when the water outlet of the soda water tank 100 is detected, the water inlet of the soda water tank 100 is controlled to realize the synchronous water inlet and water outlet. At this time, in order to ensure the taste of the soda water, the water inlet flow of the soda water tank 100 is smaller than the water outlet flow.
In some embodiments, a water inlet valve is provided on the water inlet pipe of the soda tank 100, and when the water level in the soda tank 100 is lower than the lower limit value of the water level, the controller 110 controls the water inlet valve to be opened, so that the soda tank 100 is filled with water; when the water level in the soda tank 100 reaches the upper limit value of the water level, the controller 110 controls the water inlet valve to be closed, so that the soda tank 100 stops water inlet. In other embodiments, a water pump 140 is disposed on the water inlet pipe of the soda tank 100, and when the water level in the soda tank 100 is lower than the lower limit value of the water level, the controller 110 controls the water pump 140 to operate, so that the soda tank 100 is filled with water; when the water level in the soda tank 100 reaches the upper limit value of the water level, the controller 110 controls the water pump 140 to stop operating, so that the soda tank 100 stops water supply.
The controller 110 includes:
a timing unit 112, which is used for calculating the water inlet time of the soda water tank 100 for single water inlet; and the combination of (a) and (b),
and the control unit 113 is used for controlling the soda water tank 100 to stop water inflow when the water inflow time reaches the preset time.
In this embodiment, a single fill of the soda tank 100 refers to the soda tank 100 starting to fill and stopping to fill, and the system is re-timed when the soda tank 100 is next filled.
In this embodiment, the purpose of calculating the water inlet time of the soda water tank 100 for a single water inlet is to prevent the soda water tank 100 from always supplying water due to inaccurate water level detection when the water level probe assembly 130 fails. The preset time is 10-20S, and is preferably 15S. For this predetermined time, it is preferable that the water level of the soda water tank 100 is at least raised from the lower water level limit value to the upper water level limit value.
Preferably, the water intake time is the operating time of the water pump 140 of the soda can 100. In this embodiment, the water pump 140 is provided on the inlet pipe of the soda tank 100, and when the water pump 140 is operated, water can be pumped into the soda tank 100. By calculating the working time of the water pump 140, the accurate water inlet time can be obtained, and the misjudgment can be prevented.
Further, the soda machine further comprises an alarm device 150 electrically connected to the controller 110, the controller 110 comprises a comparing unit 111, and the comparing unit 111 is configured to compare whether the real-time water level in the soda tank 100 is lower than a preset upper water level limit value after the water inlet time reaches a preset time and the control unit 113 controls the soda tank 100 to stop water inlet; if the temperature is lower than the preset temperature, the control unit 113 controls the alarm device 150 to alarm. In this embodiment, after the water inlet time reaches the preset time, if the water level in the soda water tank 100 does not reach the upper limit value of the water level, it indicates that the water level probe assembly 130 has a fault, and the detection result is inaccurate, and at this time, the alarm device 150 is controlled to alarm to remind the user to check and repair the water level probe assembly 130. Specifically, the alarm device 150 is any one of a buzzer, a voice alarm device, a display screen, a flashing light, and the like.
Preferably, when the controller 110 receives that the water outlet button 120 of the soda can 100 is triggered, the controller 110 regards as receiving the water outlet command. In this embodiment, the soda machine is provided with a water outlet button 120, and the water outlet button 120 is electrically connected to the controller 110. When the water outlet button 120 is pressed, the controller 110 receives a water outlet instruction, so as to determine that the soda water tank 100 is water outlet; when the water outlet button 120 is not pressed, the controller 110 does not receive a water outlet instruction, and thus it is determined that the soda water tank 100 does not output water.
The controller 110 is further configured to control the water pump 140 of the soda tank 100 to stop operating when the water inlet stop command is received, so that the soda tank 100 stops water inlet. In some embodiments, the soda machine is provided with a water outlet stop button 120, and the water outlet stop button 120 is electrically connected to the controller 110. When the stop water outlet button 120 is triggered, it is determined that the controller 110 receives a stop water inlet command, so as to control the water pump 140 of the soda tank 100 to stop operation, so that the soda tank 100 stops water inlet, and water overflow is avoided. In other embodiments, the system is considered to receive the water inlet stopping instruction when the water inlet time of the soda water tank 100 for single water inlet reaches a preset time.
As shown in fig. 5 and 6, in general, the soda machine further includes a filtering module, a refrigerating module, and a heating module, wherein a water inlet side of the filtering module is communicated with a water source, the refrigerating module and the heating module are respectively connected to a water outlet side of the filtering module, and a water inlet 101 of the soda can 100 is connected to a water outlet side of the refrigerating module. The cold water produced by the refrigeration module flows into the soda can 100 for soda preparation. Typically, the soda machine further includes a gas tank connected to an air intake 103 of the soda tank 100 to provide carbon dioxide gas to the soda tank 100. Of course, the air intake 103 of the soda tank 100 may also be in direct communication with an external air source.
