According to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, a control method of a brew machine is provided.
Before describing the control method of the brewing machine according to the embodiment of the present invention, an application scenario of the control method of the brewing machine is explained first, and the control method of the brewing machine according to the present invention may be applied to the brewing machine, or may be applied to an intelligent terminal connected to the brewing machine, such as a smart phone, a tablet, and a computer, or may be applied to a server connected to the brewing machine, where the present invention is not limited in particular, as long as the control method of the brewing machine according to the present invention may be carried and implemented.
The control method of the drinking machine according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described below by taking the execution body as the drinking machine as an example. The structure of the drinking machine is shown in fig. 1 to 3, which includes a fluid passage. The fluid path includes a water tank 1, a heater 3 and a mixing cup 4, the water tank 1, the heater 3 and the mixing cup 4 being in communication in sequence, the heater 3 being adapted to heat liquid flowing from the water tank 1 to obtain warmed liquid or vapor (i.e., fluid). The machine further comprises a silo 8 in communication with the mixing cup 4, the silo 8 being adapted to convey material into the mixing cup 4. In this way, the user can add various materials in the silo 8, thereby obtaining various drinks through instant drinking. Wherein, milk powder, coffee powder or tea and the like can be stored in the storage bin 8.
The brewing machine can comprise a milk brewing machine, a coffee machine, a tea making machine or the like with a single function, and can also comprise a drink machine with multiple functions integrated at the same time. For a multi-functional water dispenser with multiple functions integrated at the same time, the number of the storage bins 8 may be multiple (fig. 1 to 3 do not show this situation), and the storage bins 8 may be selected to be connected to the mixing cup 4, or the storage bins 8 may be multiple to be connected to the mixing cup 4 at the same time.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the brewing machine is operated at least comprising a brewing process and a cleaning process. The brewing process refers to a process that the water tank 1 is used for introducing heated liquid into the mixing cup 4, and the storage bin 8 is used for introducing materials into the mixing cup 4 so as to obtain a beverage in a brewing mode. The washing process refers to a process in which the water tank 1 supplies liquid to the mixing cup 4 after the end of the drinking so as to wash the mixing cup 4. On the basis of the above, the working process of the brewing machine can also comprise a sterilization process, namely a process that the water tank 1 is used for introducing heated fluid into the mixing cup 4 so as to sterilize the mixing cup 4.
Referring to fig. 4, a control method of a water dispenser according to an embodiment of the invention includes steps 100 to 300.
Step 100, obtaining the type of the material to be brewed. Wherein, the kind of the material to be brewed corresponds to the function of the brewing machine. For example, when the brewing machine is a milk brewing machine with a milk brewing function, the material to be brewed is milk powder; when the brewing machine is a coffee machine with brewed coffee, the material to be brewed is coffee powder; when the brewing machine is a tea making machine with a tea making function, the material to be brewed is tea; when the brewing machine is a beverage machine integrated with multiple functions such as brewing milk, coffee, tea and the like, the material to be brewed is one of milk powder, coffee powder, tea and the like. Of course, the type of the brewing machine is not limited by the examples herein, and the type of the material to be brewed is not limited by the examples herein. The function of the brewing machine can be set by a user, for example, for the brewing machine, the user can change the default type of the to-be-brewed material from milk powder to coffee, so that the brewing machine can be used as a coffee machine.
For a multi-functional integrated brew machine, the cartridge 8 of the brew machine may store multiple materials simultaneously. At this time, in order to obtain the kind of the material to be brewed, an input button may be provided on the brewing machine, and then the user may select the kind of the material to be brewed based on the input button on the brewing machine. Or, the type of the to-be-brewed beverage can be input through a smart phone, a tablet personal computer and the like. For a single-function brewing machine, the default type of the material to be brewed can be obtained based on the start key of the brewing machine. For example, for a brewer, as long as the brewer is turned on, the default material to be brewed is milk powder.
Step 200, determining working parameters of the brewing machine based on the type of the to-be-brewed beverage, wherein the working parameters at least comprise brewing parameters of the brewing machine in the brewing process.
After the type of the material to be brewed is determined, parameters of the brewing machine during the brewing process (i.e., brewing parameters) may be determined based on the type of the material to be brewed. The brewing parameters mainly comprise the temperature of the liquid flowing into the mixing cup 4 in the brewing machine, namely the brewing temperature. For example, the required brewing temperatures are different for milk powder, coffee and tea, the brewing temperature of milk powder is generally 40-55deg.C, the brewing temperature of coffee is generally 85-92 deg.C, and the brewing temperature of tea is generally about 80-100deg.C. Of course, the brewing parameters may also include the flow rate of the liquid flowing into the mixing cup 4 during the brewing process, i.e. the brewing flow rate, i.e. the pumping rate of the water tank into the mixing cup 4 during the brewing process. The brewing parameters may also include the heating efficiency of the heater in the brewing machine, the heating power of the heater, and the like. Of course, the brewing parameters are not limited by the examples herein, so long as they can be matched with the material to be brewed so as to meet the brewing requirements of the corresponding material.
In one embodiment, the operating parameters further comprise a cleaning parameter, i.e. a parameter of the beverage machine during cleaning. The cleaning parameters mainly include the temperature of the liquid flowing into the mixing cup 4, i.e. the cleaning temperature; the cleaning parameters may furthermore comprise the flow rate of the liquid flowing into the mixing cup 4, i.e. the cleaning flow rate. For example, it is considered that milk powder and coffee are more likely to adhere to walls during brewing than tea leaves, and further that the washing temperature and the washing flow rate of liquid corresponding to milk powder and coffee are higher than those of tea leaves. Similarly, the cleaning parameters may also include the heating efficiency of the heater during cleaning, the heating power of the heater, and the like. The cleaning parameters are not limited by the examples herein, so long as they can be matched with the material to be brewed so as to meet the cleaning requirements of the corresponding material after being brewed.
In one embodiment, the operating parameters further comprise sterilization parameters, i.e. parameters of the beverage machine during sterilization. The sterilization parameters mainly comprise the temperature of the fluid (mainly comprising steam) flowing into the mixing cup 4, i.e. the sterilization temperature. Furthermore, the sterilization parameters may also include the flow rate of the liquid flowing into the mixing cup 4, i.e. the sterilization flow rate. Similarly, the sterilization parameters may also include the heating efficiency of the heater during sterilization, the heating power of the heater, and the like. The sterilization parameters are not limited by the examples herein, so long as they can be matched with the material to be brewed so as to meet the sterilization requirements of the corresponding material after being brewed.
Step 300, controlling the operation of the water dispenser based on the operation parameters.
When the working parameters comprise brewing parameters, controlling the brewing machine to brew the materials according to the brewing parameters. When the working parameters include the brewing parameters and the cleaning parameters, the brewing machine is controlled to perform the brewing and the cleaning according to the working parameters in step 300. When the working parameters further include sterilization parameters, the brewing machine is controlled to sequentially perform brewing, cleaning and sterilization according to the working parameters in step 300.
According to the control method of the brewing machine, the working parameters of the brewing machine are determined based on the types of the materials to be brewed, so that the control method can adapt to the brewing requirements of different materials to be brewed, the functions of the brewing machine are various, and the applicability is improved. In addition, the working parameters depend on the type of the materials to be brewed, so that the mouthfeel of the brewed beverage can be ensured.
According to the control method of the brewing machine, the brewing machine can be used for brewing coffee or tea when leaving a factory. For another example, the coffee machine at the time of shipment may be changed to brew milk powder or tea leaves.
In one embodiment, step 300 includes:
step 310, controlling the brewing machine to brew according to the brewing parameters;
Step 320, determining that the brewing machine is finished, and controlling the brewing machine to clean according to the cleaning parameters.
In one embodiment, step 300 further comprises:
step 330, determining that the cleaning of the brewing machine is finished, and controlling the brewing machine to sterilize according to the sterilization parameters.
In step 320, no seamless connection of brew and rinse is required. Likewise, in step 330, no seamless purging and sterilization is required. The water brewing and cleaning and the cleaning and sterilization can be separated by a certain time period so as to ensure that each step of the water brewing machine is orderly carried out.
In one embodiment, in step 320, after the liquid is introduced into the mixing cup 4 during the cleaning process, the mixing cup may be soaked for a set period of time, and the agitator 41 of the mixing cup 4 is started to agitate the liquid in the mixing cup 4, so as to ensure that the mixing cup 4 is cleaned sufficiently.
In one embodiment, the brewing process, the cleaning process and the sterilization process adopt the same liquid source, so that the structure of the brewing machine can be simplified, and the functional integration of the parts of the brewing machine is realized. For example, when the liquid source is provided through the water tank 1, the water tank 1 is used to provide the liquid source during the drinking process, the washing process and the sterilization process, respectively. The liquid source refers to a liquid suitable for the water dispenser, typically water, and does not exclude the case of using other liquids for the water dispenser. In addition, the same liquid source is adopted in the brewing process, the cleaning process and the sterilization process, so that repeated heating of liquid is not needed, and the aim of saving energy consumption can be achieved. For example, when the brewing machine sequentially passes through the brewing process, the cleaning process and the sterilizing process, generally, the flushing temperature and the cleaning temperature corresponding to the brewing process and the cleaning process are lower than the sterilizing temperature of the sterilizing process, and further, by adopting the same liquid source, the liquid source can be further heated on the basis of the brewing process and the cleaning process to reach the sterilizing temperature. For example, when the brewing machine sequentially passes through the cleaning process, the sterilizing process and the brewing process, the brewing machine is cleaned and sterilized before brewing, and the liquid source is heated in the cleaning and sterilizing process, so that the obtained liquid source temperature can be directly suitable for the brewing process, and the brewing process is rapid and efficient and does not need to consume extra power.
In one embodiment, in step 330, an idle period of the brew machine within a set period is obtained; and in the idle period, controlling the brewing machine to sterilize according to the sterilization parameters. The setting period and the idle time period can be set by a user, can be defaults of the brewing machine, and can be formed by learning the brewing machine based on the use habit of the user. The formation modes of the set period and the idle period can be mutually independent: for example, when the set period is user set, the idle period may be the brew machine default; alternatively, the set period may be a default of the machine, and the idle period may be a learning period of the machine.
When the set period and the idle time period are set by the user, the effect of the brewing machine is mainly considered. For example, when a brew machine is used to brew milk powder: the requirements on sanitation are high, and the setting period can be set to be one day, so that the milk brewing machine can be sterilized at least once a day; the idle period is determined depending on the eating habits of the infant or child. For another example, when the brew machine is used to brew coffee: the setting period may be set to one day; the idle period may be from night to the next morning. Specifically, with a day as a set period, the coffee machine is generally used during normal working hours of a person, for example, from six am to ten pm, and during the period from ten pm to six am, the probability of using the coffee machine is very low, so that the period from ten pm to six am can be set as an idle period. Of course, some enterprises are late shifts, and the idle period of the coffee machine can be set to be daytime as required.
When the set period and the idle time period are formed by learning the use habit of the user, certain sample data can be obtained in a certain time (such as one week or one month, etc.), and the time law of the operation of the water dispenser is analyzed based on the sample data so as to obtain the idle time period of the water dispenser. For example, the zero point to the five points in the early morning can be set as the idle time period when the brewing machine is found to work from the zero point to the five points in the early morning within one week.
In one embodiment, no matter how many times the water dispenser works in a set period, the sterilization times are all one time in the idle time, so that the energy consumption of the water dispenser can be greatly reduced. In each set period, the brewing machine can be repeatedly used except for other idle time periods, so that the sanitary requirement can be met by cleaning, sterilization is not needed after each use is finished, the utilization rate of the brewing machine is improved, and the waiting time of a user is shortened.
Steps 400 and 500 may also be included, either before step 100 or after step 300, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 5, after step 300, the method further includes:
Step 400, detecting whether stains exist in a mixing cup 4 of the brewing machine;

In one embodiment, the beverage maker comprises a flow control member provided in the fluid path, and the flow control member is adapted to control the flow of steam and/or liquid (i.e. fluid) in the fluid path, i.e. the mass of water pumped by the water tank 1 into the mixing cup 4. The flow control member may be, but is not limited to, a valve, a pump body 2, etc., and when the flow control member is a valve, the opening degree of the flow control member is the opening degree of the valve; when the flow control is the pump body 2, the opening of the flow control is the pumping rate of the pump body 2. In addition, the flow control may be provided at different locations in the fluid path, for example, the flow control may be provided between the water tank 1 and the heater 3, or between the heater 3 and the mixing cup 4. The specific structure and arrangement of the flow control member is not particularly limited, as long as the flow control member can control the flow rate of the vapor and/or liquid in the fluid passage.
According to the brewing machine provided by the embodiment of the invention, in order to obtain liquid and steam with different temperatures to realize corresponding functions, the brewing machine can have the following control modes:
control mode one: the opening degree of the flow control member is controlled to be unchanged, namely, the flow of the steam or the liquid in the fluid passage is kept unchanged, and the heating power of the heater 3 is controlled to be changed, so that the liquid and the steam with different temperatures are obtained.

And a second control mode: the heating power of the heater 3 is controlled to be unchanged, and the opening degree of the flow control member is controlled to be changed, so that liquid and vapor with different temperatures are obtained. For example, the opening degree of the control flow control member is larger, and a large amount of high-temperature steam cannot be obtained due to the larger flow rate of the steam or the liquid in the fluid passage, but a large amount of warmed liquid (possibly containing a small amount of high-temperature steam) can be obtained, so as to realize the drink brewing or the cleaning of the mixing cup 4; the opening degree of the control flow control member is smaller, and a large amount of high-temperature steam or a mixture of the high-temperature steam and the high-temperature liquid can be obtained because the flow rate of the steam or the liquid in the fluid passage is smaller at the moment, so that the sterilization and the disinfection of the mixing cup 4 can be realized.
And a control mode III: the heating power of the heater 3 and the opening degree of the flow control member are controlled to be changed, respectively. For example, the heating power of the heater 3 is controlled to be low, and the opening of the flow control member is controlled to be large, so that a large amount of high-temperature steam cannot be obtained because the flow rate of the steam or the liquid in the fluid passage is large and the heating temperature of the heater 3 is low, and only a large amount of heated liquid (possibly containing a small amount of high-temperature steam) can be obtained to realize the drink pouring or the cleaning of the mixing cup 4; the heating power of the heater 3 is controlled to be high, and the opening degree of the flow control member is controlled to be small, so that a large amount of high-temperature steam or a mixture of the high-temperature steam and the high-temperature liquid can be obtained to realize sterilization and disinfection of the mixing cup 4 because the flow rate of the steam or the liquid in the fluid passage is small and the heating temperature of the heater 3 is high at this time.
According to the water dispenser of the embodiment of the invention, the heater 3 can heat the liquid flowing out of the water tank 1 by controlling the heating parameter (heating power P) of the heater 3 and the opening degree of the flow control member (the effect of adjusting the pumping speed v of the water tank 1 to pump water into the mixing cup 4 is achieved by adjusting the opening degree), so that the low-temperature liquid, the high-temperature steam and the mixture of the high-temperature steam and the high-temperature liquid can be respectively obtained. When the heater 3 heats the low-temperature liquid or the high-temperature liquid, the liquid flows into the mixing cup 4 so as to drink or clean the mixing cup 4; when the heater 3 heats to obtain high-temperature steam and a mixture of the high-temperature steam and the high-temperature liquid, the high-temperature steam and the mixture of the high-temperature steam and the high-temperature liquid can sterilize the mixing cup 4, and the sterilizing effect is good, the efficiency is high, and the influence on the service life of the brewing machine is avoided.

In this way, when an abnormal situation occurs in the heater 3, for example, when the temperature of the heater 3 is too high, the protector 54 can cut off the power supply of the heater 3 in time, thereby reducing the risk of safety accidents.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the protection member 54 may be a temperature controller, a fuse, etc., and the present invention is not limited herein, as long as the protection member 54 can control the heater 3 to be powered off.
As shown in fig. 3, according to one embodiment of the invention, the mixing cup 4 is provided with a steam exhaust 7, the steam exhaust 7 being adapted to exhaust steam from the mixing cup 4. Thus, when the outlet of the mixing cup 4 is a fine hole or the outlet of the mixing cup 4 is blocked, high-temperature steam can be timely discharged through the steam discharging piece 7, so that the excessive pressure in the cavity of the mixing cup 4 is prevented.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the steam exhaust member 7 may have a structure of a steam exhaust hole, a steam exhaust pipe, a steam exhaust valve, etc., and the steam exhaust member 7 may have another structure, which is not particularly limited herein, so long as the steam exhaust member 7 can exhaust steam in the mixing cup 4.
In one embodiment of the invention, the steam exhaust 7 comprises a steam exhaust hole arranged above the water outlet of the mixing cup 4. Therefore, because the steam exhaust hole is arranged above the water outlet, when a user connects the beverage below the water outlet, high-temperature steam can be prevented from being sprayed onto the hands of the user, and the use safety of the user is ensured. As shown in fig. 3, the mixing cup 4 comprises a cup body and a cover body covered on the cup body, the steam exhaust hole is arranged on the cover body, the steam exhaust piece 7 further comprises a steam exhaust pipe, and the steam exhaust pipe is inserted in the steam exhaust hole and used for exhausting steam in the cup body.

Thus, in the step of brewing, the stirrer 41 can ensure that the water and the materials are mixed more uniformly, and ensure the mouthfeel of the beverage.
In one embodiment of the invention, the pump body 2 is a water pump, which may have other different pumping steps than the first pumping step and the second pumping step, so as to achieve a multi-stage regulation of the temperature of the liquid and/or vapor flowing into the mixing cup 4.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the heating range of the heater 3 comprises at least a first heating range and a second heating range, the heating power of the first heating range being greater than the heating power of the second heating range.
In this way, on the basis of adjusting the water pumping gear of the pump body 2, fine adjustment of the temperature of the liquid and/or vapor flowing into the mixing cup 4 can be achieved by further adjusting the heating gear of the heater 3. And, because the heating power of different heating gears is different, the user can directly adjust the heating gear in order to realize the regulation to heating power, avoid appearing the inconvenient, difficult accurate location scheduling problem of operation that the direct regulation heating power of user leads to, convenient operation, need not the user and adjust repeatedly to the regulation result is more accurate.
In one embodiment of the invention, the heater 3 may also have different heating stages in addition to the first and second heating stages, so as to further achieve a multi-stage regulation of the temperature of the liquid and/or vapor flowing into the mixing cup 4.

According to the embodiment of the invention, in the step of brewing, the heater 3 heats the low-temperature water into water with a certain temperature, and the water flows into the mixing cup 4 and is mixed with the materials input into the mixing cup 4 by the storage bin 8 and then flows out. Wherein, based on the difference of the materials, the water temperature of the instant drink is adjusted to the required temperature.
In the cleaning step, the heater 3 heats the low-temperature water to a certain temperature, and then flows into the mixing cup 4, and the water flowing into the mixing cup 4 washes the wall of the cleaning cup and finally flows out. Wherein, if the cup wall is flushed by high-temperature water, residues adhered to the cup wall are more easily cleaned, and the water temperature during cleaning is generally controlled to be about 60 ℃ to 80 ℃. For example, when the user adjusts the pump body 2 to the first pump water stage and the heater 3 to the second heating stage, the pump speed of the pump body 2 is high, that is, the flow rate of the liquid flowing from the water tank 1 into the heater 3 is high, and the heating power of the heater 3 is low, so that the substance flowing out of the heater 3 is usually the heated liquid, and the heated liquid flows into the mixing cup 4 to flush the inner wall of the mixing cup 4.
In the sterilization step, the heater 3 heats low-temperature water into high-temperature steam (or a mixture of high-temperature water and high-temperature steam), and the steam enters the mixing cup 4 to sterilize the whole chamber at high temperature. Wherein, under the normal pressure condition, the temperature of the high-temperature steam can reach 121 ℃ to 126 ℃, so that the aim of sterilization can be achieved within 15 minutes to 30 minutes. For example, when the user adjusts the pump body 2 to the second pump water stage and the heater 3 to the first heating stage, the pump speed of the pump body 2 is low, that is, the flow rate of the liquid flowing from the water tank 1 into the heater 3 is small, and the heating power of the heater 3 is high, so that the heater 3 can heat the liquid flowing into the heater 3 into a large amount of high-temperature steam or a mixture of high-temperature steam and high-temperature liquid, and the high-temperature steam or the mixture of high-temperature steam and high-temperature liquid enters the mixing cup 4 to sterilize it.
