Abstract
The present disclosure is generally directed towards a water supply system, a control method, an electronic device and a storage medium. The water supply system includes a main faucet, a water outlet accessory receptacle, a main control box, a thermostatic valve, and one or more water outlet accessories. The main control box includes a controller and a water outlet accessory waterway. The water outlet accessory waterway at least includes a heater. One end of the water outlet accessory waterway is communicated with the inlet of the main control box, and the other end of the water outlet accessory waterway is connected with the outlet of the main control box. The controller is connected to the heater and the thermostatic valve respectively.
Claims19
A water supply system, comprising:
- a main faucet;
- a water outlet accessory receptacle;
- a main control box;
- a thermostatic valve;
- and
- a water outlet accessory comprising an accessory button operable to control water to flow out or stop flowing out of the water outlet accessory;
- wherein the main faucet is communicated with an outlet of the thermostatic valve, a cold water inlet of the thermostatic valve is communicated with an external cold water source, a hot water inlet of the thermostatic valve is communicated with an external hot water source, the water outlet accessory receptacle is communicated with an outlet of the main control box, an inlet of the main control box is communicated with the external cold water source, and the water outlet accessory is detachably connected with the water outlet accessory receptacle;
- and
- wherein the main control box comprises a controller, a water outlet accessory waterway, and a pressure sensor configured to detect a water pressure of the water outlet accessory waterway, the water outlet accessory waterway at least comprises a heater, one end of the water outlet accessory waterway is communicated with the inlet of the main control box, a different end of the water outlet accessory waterway is communicated with the outlet of the main control box, and the controller is connected with the heater and the thermostatic valve respectively, and the controller is configured to determine when the accessory button is pressed based on the water pressure detected by the pressure sensor and control a flow of the water in the water outlet accessory waterway based on whether the accessory button is pressed.
A method for controlling a water supply system, comprising:
- detecting, by a controller of the water supply system, a type of water outlet accessory connected to a water outlet accessory receptacle as a current type;
- obtaining, by the controller, a flowrate value or a temperature value corresponding to the current type;
- controlling, by the controller, a water outlet flowrate of a water outlet accessory waterway to the flowrate value or controlling a water outlet temperature of the water outlet accessory waterway to the temperature value;
- receiving, by the controller, a water pressure of the water outlet accessory waterway detected by a pressure sensor;
- determining, by the controller, when an accessory button is pressed based on the water pressure detected by the pressure sensor, the accessory button operable to control water to flow out or stop flowing out of the water outlet accessory;
- and
- controlling, by the controller, a flow of the water in the water outlet accessory waterway based on whether the accessory button is pressed.
An electronic device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory connected to the at least one processor;
- wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, the instructions are executed by the at least one processor to enable the at least one processor to:
- detect a type of water outlet accessory connected to a water outlet accessory receptacle as a current type;
- obtain a flowrate value or a temperature value corresponding to the current type;
- control a water outlet flowrate of a water outlet accessory waterway to the flowrate value or control a water outlet temperature of the water outlet accessory waterway to the temperature value;
- receive a water pressure of the water outlet accessory waterway detected by a pressure sensor;
- determine when an accessory button is actuated based on the water pressure detected by the pressure sensor, the accessory button operable to control water to flow out or stop flowing out of the water outlet accessory;
- and
- control a flow of the water in the water outlet accessory waterway based on whether the accessory button is actuated.
