Description

Controller, water heater system and bathroom heating equipment

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of household intelligent appliances, in particular to a controller, a water heater system and bathroom heating equipment.

Background

With the development of society and the continuous progress of technology, the consumption level of people is increasingly improved, and common people have extremely high pursuit on life quality, so that the design requirements on common household appliances are also higher. The water heater is taken as an indispensable living article in home life, the single bathing function of the water heater can not meet the use requirement of consumers, and the water heater has more attention to increasing living fun and meeting the additional functions in the aspect of diversified living. In order to enable people to obtain better interactive experience in the process of using the water heater, series products of the music water heater are generated.

The utility model of the authorization bulletin number CN 205373062U, for example, discloses a Bluetooth music water heater, wherein a water heater body is provided with a storage module, an audio playing module, a selection control module, a Bluetooth module, an audio acquisition module and a display module; the Bluetooth module is matched with the Bluetooth of the mobile phone and transmits incoming call signals on the mobile phone to the water heater, and the communication is carried out through signal conversion between the audio acquisition module and the audio playing module and between the audio playing module and the Bluetooth module. The user can play and control songs by utilizing the Bluetooth of the mobile phone, and can listen to music and answer calls in the bathing process.

For example, the utility model with the authority bulletin number of CN 206420134U discloses an electric water heater with wifi function and Bluetooth function, which comprises a water heater body, an accommodating cavity with an upper opening, a control panel, a sound box, a power amplifier and a circuit board, wherein the controller on the water heater panel is used for receiving mobile phone calls and controlling music modes during bath.

However, the music water heater disclosed in the above patent has the following disadvantages that cannot be avoided in the actual operation:

firstly, the water heater with the music function integrates the audio module and the loudspeaker module on the water heater body, and because the shower bath range of a user and the bath range of a bathtub and the installation position of the water heater have large space distances, the user can only walk to the front of the panel of the water heater to operate in the process of bathing, on one hand, a large amount of hot air generated in the shower bath makes the visibility low and difficult to operate, on the other hand, a hot and cold environment is extremely easy to cause cold, and the sound device is arranged on the water heater and has a certain distance from the user, so that the sound effect of the user in the use process can be influenced.

Secondly, most users put the mobile phone outside the bathroom before bathing, so songs played by the water heater can only be played according to an APP playing mode preset by the mobile phone of the user, music to be played cannot be selected in real time in the bathing process, only a passive listening function is provided, and the music cannot be played in a mode desired by the user, for example, when the user wants to switch songs or tune, the music is inconvenient. Meanwhile, when the user takes a bath, the user can listen to the phone through the audio Bluetooth signal transfer of the water heater, so that the user experience is poor.

The same is true for the existing bathroom heating equipment, and the personalized requirements of people are difficult to meet due to the single heating function.

Therefore, a device which is convenient for users to conveniently listen to music and perform some touch operation in the bath process is needed, and the requirements of users are met.
