The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The flow diagrams depicted in the figures are merely illustrative and do not necessarily include all of the elements and operations/steps, nor do they necessarily have to be performed in the order depicted. For example, some operations/steps may be decomposed, combined or partially combined, so that the actual execution sequence may be changed according to the actual situation.

The embodiment of the application provides a water outlet device control method, a water outlet device and a computer readable storage medium. The water outlet equipment control method can be applied to water outlet equipment, and the water outlet equipment can comprise a water dispenser, a faucet, a coffee machine, a soybean milk machine, a fruit juice machine and the like.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a control method of a water outlet apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application. The water outlet equipment control method may include steps S101 to S105, and the like, and specifically may be as follows:

s101, controlling the water outlet equipment to discharge water according to a first water outlet rate.

The type and the structure of the water outlet equipment can be flexibly arranged according to actual needs, for example, the water outlet equipment can be provided with a water outlet, a base used for placing a container for receiving water below the water outlet, a machine body used for placing a water source and the like. The first water outlet rate can be flexibly set according to actual needs, for example, the first water outlet rate input by a user can be received, or the first water outlet rate can be dynamically and automatically determined according to the current situation, and the like.

In some embodiments, controlling the water output device to output water at the first water output rate may include: acquiring identity information of a user placing a container; determining a first water outlet rate according to the identity information; or acquiring the volume of the container, and determining a first water outlet rate according to the volume of the container; or, acquiring the size of a port of the container, and determining a first water outlet rate according to the size of the port of the container; and controlling the water outlet equipment to discharge water according to the first water outlet rate.

In order to improve the flexibility of water outlet of the water outlet equipment, water can be discharged at different water outlet rates according to the requirements of different users. Specifically, the identity information of the user placing the container may be obtained first, for example, a face image of the user may be collected by a camera, and the identity information of the user may be determined according to the face image. For another example, the fingerprint of the user may be collected by a fingerprint collecting module preset on the water outlet device, and the identity information of the user may be determined according to the fingerprint. Then, a first water outlet rate can be determined according to the identity information of the user, and the first water outlet rate can be flexibly set according to actual needs, for example, the first water outlet rate corresponding to the user a is a, and for example, the first water outlet rate corresponding to the user B is B, and the like. At this time, the water outlet device can be controlled to start water outlet according to the first water outlet rate.

Alternatively, the water may be discharged at different discharge rates depending on the volume of the different containers. Specifically, first, a volume of the container is obtained, for example, the volume of the container input by a user may be received, or a plurality of images including the container are acquired from different angles, a bottom area, a height and the like of the container are respectively determined according to different images, and the volume of the container is calculated according to the bottom area and the height; alternatively, the bottom area, height, port area, etc. of the container are obtained and the volume of the container is calculated from the bottom area, height, and port area. At this time, the first water outlet rate can be determined according to the volume of the container, and the larger the volume of the container is, the larger the first water outlet rate is; the smaller the volume of the container, the smaller the first water outflow rate.

Alternatively, the water may be discharged at different discharge rates depending on the port size of the different containers. Specifically, the port size of the container is first obtained, for example, an image containing the container may be captured by a camera, the port size of the container may be determined from the image, or the port size of the container input by the user may be received. At this time, the first water outlet rate can be determined according to the size of the port of the container, and the larger the size of the port of the container is, the larger the first water outlet rate is; the smaller the port size of the vessel, the smaller the first water exit rate.

In some embodiments, controlling the water output device to output water at the first water output rate may include: detecting the position of a container placed below a water outlet of the water outlet equipment; when the position is not matched with the water outlet area of the water outlet, detecting the moving direction and the moving distance of the container needing to move when the container is matched with the water outlet area; adjusting the container according to the moving direction and the moving distance; and after the container is adjusted, controlling the water outlet device to discharge water according to the first water outlet rate.

The type of the container can be flexibly set according to actual needs, and the container is a water cup such as a plastic cup, a ceramic cup, a glass cup or a vacuum cup.

Before the water outlet device starts to discharge water, the position of a container placed below a water outlet of the water outlet device may be detected in advance, for example, the position of the container may be detected by a sensor or a camera, when the position of the container does not match a water outlet area of the water outlet, it is described that a port of the container is not aligned with the water outlet of the water outlet device, so that water flowing out of the water outlet cannot flow into the container, at this time, as shown in fig. 2, a moving direction and a moving distance in which the container needs to move when the container matches the water outlet area may be detected, the container may be adjusted (e.g., moved) according to the moving direction and the moving distance, for example, prompt information may be output to prompt a user to adjust the container according to the moving direction and the moving distance, or the container may be automatically adjusted according to the moving direction and. After the container is adjusted, the water outlet device is controlled to start water outlet according to the first water outlet rate, so that water can accurately flow into the container, and water resources are prevented from being wasted due to the fact that the water flows out of the container.

In some embodiments, controlling the water output device to output water at the first water output rate may include: detecting a pressure value through a pressure sensor preset on a base below a water outlet of the water outlet equipment, when the pressure value is larger than a preset pressure threshold value, determining that a container is placed below the water outlet of the water outlet equipment, and controlling the water outlet equipment to discharge water according to a first water discharge rate; or when detecting that a button preset on a base below a water outlet of the water outlet equipment is triggered, determining that a container is placed below the water outlet of the water outlet equipment, and controlling the water outlet equipment to discharge water according to a first water discharge rate; or acquiring an initial image below the water outlet of the water outlet device, determining that the container is placed below the water outlet of the water outlet device when the container is identified from the initial image, and controlling the water outlet device to discharge water according to the first water discharge rate.

In order to improve the accuracy of water outlet of the water outlet equipment, a container can be placed below the water outlet of the water outlet equipment, and then water outlet is carried out. In an embodiment, a pressure sensor may be preset at a position for placing the container in the water receiving area of the water outlet device, for example, as shown in fig. 3, a base for placing the water receiving area of the container (i.e., a base below the water outlet of the water outlet device) may be covered with the pressure sensor, and when an object is placed at the position, the pressure sensor may detect the pressure value. At the moment, when a container is placed in a water receiving area of the water outlet device, a pressure sensor preset at the position where the container is placed can be used for detecting the received pressure value, when the pressure value is larger than a preset pressure threshold value, the container is placed below a water outlet of the water outlet device, and at the moment, the water outlet device can be controlled to discharge water according to a first water outlet speed; when the pressure value is less than or equal to the preset pressure threshold value, the container is not placed below the water outlet of the water outlet device, wherein the preset pressure threshold value can be flexibly set according to actual needs.

In another embodiment, one or more buttons may be pre-arranged on the base below the water outlet of the water outlet device, and the type, size, position, color, etc. of the buttons may be flexibly arranged according to actual needs, for example, as shown in fig. 4, when the container is placed on the base, the bottom of the container may press the button, and the button is triggered. When detecting that a button preset on a base below a water outlet of the water outlet equipment is triggered, determining that a container is placed below the water outlet of the water outlet equipment, and controlling the water outlet equipment to discharge water at a first water discharge rate; when detecting that a button preset on a base below a water outlet of the water outlet equipment is not triggered, determining that a container is not placed below the water outlet of the water outlet equipment.

In another embodiment, an initial image below the water outlet of the water outlet device may be collected by a preset camera near the water outlet of the water outlet device or by a camera outside the water outlet device, and then the initial image is recognized by a preset recognition model or a pixel ratio equivalent mode, where the recognition model may be obtained by training based on a plurality of sample images including a container. When the container is identified from the initial image, determining that the container is placed below a water outlet of the water outlet device, and controlling the water outlet device to discharge water according to a first water outlet rate; and when the container is not identified from the initial image, determining that the container is not placed below the water outlet of the water outlet device.

S102, obtaining a first water level of the container for receiving water.

After the water outlet equipment starts to discharge water according to the first water outlet rate, the current first water level of the container for receiving water can be acquired in real time or at intervals of preset time, and the preset time can be flexibly set according to actual needs.

Wherein the first water level may be a distance h from the water outlet to the water surface in the container, as shown in fig. 5, for example, and the first water level may be a distance h4 from the water surface in the container to the container port, as shown in fig. 6, for example. Of course, the first water level can be flexibly set according to actual needs.

In some embodiments, obtaining the first level of water received by the container may include: and acquiring the distance between the water outlet of the water outlet device and the water surface to obtain the current first water level of the container for receiving water.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, when the first water level is a distance h from the water outlet to the water surface in the container, the distance h from the water outlet to the water surface in the container may be detected by the detection device, so as to obtain the first water level at which the container receives water currently. Wherein, the detection device may include a distance measuring sensor, a camera, and the like. The detection device can be flexibly set according to actual needs in terms of setting positions, quantity and the like. For example, the detection device may detect the distance from the detection device to the water surface as the distance h from the water outlet to the water surface in the container, or the detection device may detect the distance d1 from the detection device to the water outlet and detect the distance d2 from the detection device to the intersection point of the water surface and the water column, and in the triangle between the detection device and the water outlet, the height of the water column may be calculated according to d1 and d2, that is, the distance h from the water outlet to the water surface in the container may be obtained.

In some embodiments, obtaining the first level of water received by the container may include: and acquiring the distance between the detection device and the water surface to obtain the current first water level of the container for receiving water.

For another example, as shown in fig. 6, when the first water level is the distance h4 between the water surface in the container and the container port, the distance between the detection device itself and the water surface and the distance between the detection device itself and the container port can be detected, and the distance between the detection device itself and the water surface can be determined according to the difference between the distance between the detection device itself and the water surface and the distance between the detection device itself and the container port, so as to obtain the first water level of the container currently receiving water.

S103, when the first water level is matched with the first threshold, controlling the water outlet equipment to discharge water according to a second water outlet rate, wherein the first water outlet rate is greater than the second water outlet rate.

In some embodiments, when the first water level matches the first threshold, before the controlling the water outlet apparatus to discharge water at the second water discharge rate, the water outlet apparatus control method may further include: acquiring the distance between a detection device and a port of a container, and determining a first threshold value according to the distance; alternatively, the height of the container is obtained and the first threshold is determined based on the height of the container.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, when the first water level is the distance h from the water outlet to the water surface in the container, the distance h1 between the detection device and the port of the container can be obtained, and the threshold h2 for water fast full can be set, at which time h1+ h2 can be set as the first threshold, or h1 can be directly set as the first threshold.

For another example, as shown in fig. 6, when the first water level is the distance h4 from the water surface in the container to the container port, the height h3 of the container can be obtained, and the threshold h2 for the water to fill up is set, at which time h3-h2 can be set as the first threshold, or h3 can be directly set as the first threshold.

In some embodiments, obtaining the height of the container may include: detecting the height of the container through a sensor preset on the side surface of the water dispenser; or, receiving a user input of a height of the container; or, acquiring a side image of the container through a camera preset on the side of the water dispenser, and determining the height of the container according to the side image.

Wherein, one or more sensors can be arranged on the side surface of the water receiving area of the water dispenser in advance and used for detecting the height of the container. In order to improve the accuracy and flexibility of height acquisition of the container, when the container is placed in the water receiving area of the water dispenser, the height of the container can be detected through a sensor preset on the side face of the water dispenser. Alternatively, an input interface may be displayed within the display screen of the water dispenser, and then the user input of the height of the container may be received within the input interface. Or, the water dispenser may establish a communication connection with a mobile terminal (e.g., a mobile phone), and at this time, the water dispenser may receive the height of the container sent by the mobile terminal, where the height of the container may be input by a user through an input interface of the mobile terminal, so that the mobile terminal may send the height of the container to the water dispenser after receiving the height of the container input by the user. Or one or more cameras can be arranged on the side surface of the water receiving area of the water dispenser in advance, images of the container can be collected through the cameras arranged on the side surface of the water dispenser in advance to obtain side images, a side view of the container can be extracted from the side images, and then the height of the container is determined according to the side view.

After the current first water level and the first threshold are obtained, whether the first water level is matched with the first threshold or not can be judged, namely whether the first water level is equal to the first threshold or whether the difference value between the first water level and the first threshold is within a preset range or not is judged, the preset range can be flexibly set according to actual needs, and if the difference value is within the preset range or not, the difference between the first water level and the first threshold is small. When the first water level is matched with the first threshold value, the water amount in the container is more, namely the water receiving is about to be completed, at the moment, in order to avoid that the water is continuously discharged at the first water discharging speed, the water is easy to splash out from the container, the water discharging speed of the water discharging equipment can be reduced, namely the water discharging equipment is controlled to discharge water at the second water discharging speed, and the first water discharging speed is greater than the second water discharging speed.

The second water outlet rate may be flexibly set according to actual needs, for example, the remaining volume of the container that is not currently filled with water may be calculated by the first water level, or the water amount of water that is currently discharged is determined according to the first water outlet rate and the time for the water dispenser to discharge water according to the first water outlet rate, the time and the first water outlet rate, the water amount is compared with the volume of the container, and the remaining volume of the container that is not currently filled with water is determined, at this time, the second water outlet rate may be determined according to the remaining volume, where the larger the remaining volume is, the larger the second water outlet rate is, the smaller the remaining volume is, and the smaller the second water outlet rate is.

And S104, acquiring a second water level of the container for receiving water currently.

In the process that the water outlet equipment discharges water according to the second water outlet rate, the current second water level of the container for receiving water can be acquired in real time or at intervals of preset time, and the preset time can be flexibly set according to actual needs.

In some embodiments, obtaining the second level of water received by the container comprises: acquiring the distance between the water outlet of the water outlet device and the water surface to obtain a second water level of the container for receiving water currently; or, the distance between the detection device and the water surface is acquired, and the second water level of the container for receiving water at present is obtained.

The obtaining mode of the second water level is similar to the obtaining mode of the first water level, and the second water level can be obtained by referring to the obtaining mode of the first water level, which is not described herein again.

And S105, when the second water level is matched with the second threshold, controlling the water outlet equipment to stop water outlet, wherein the first threshold is larger than the second threshold.

In some embodiments, when the first water level matches the first threshold, before the controlling the water outlet apparatus to discharge water at the second water discharge rate, the water outlet apparatus control method may further include: acquiring the distance between the detection device and the port of the container, and determining a second threshold value according to the distance; alternatively, the height of the container is obtained and the second threshold is determined based on the height of the container.

The determining manner of the second threshold is similar to the determining manner of the first threshold, and the second threshold may be determined by referring to the determining manner of the first threshold, which is not described herein again.

After the second water level is obtained, whether the second water level is matched with the second threshold value or not can be judged, namely whether the second water level is equal to the second threshold value or whether the difference value between the second water level and the second threshold value is within a preset range or not is judged, the preset range can be flexibly set according to actual needs, and if the difference value is within the preset range or not, the difference between the second water level and the second threshold value is small. When the second water level is matched with the second threshold value, the fact that the water in the container is full or is full quickly is shown, water receiving is completed, the water outlet device is controlled to stop water outlet, the water outlet speed of the water outlet device is dynamically controlled in the process of using the container to receive water, and convenient water receiving is conducted.

In some embodiments, the method for controlling a water outlet device may further include: in the process of water outlet of the water outlet equipment, detecting whether the container moves or whether foreign matters enter the container or not; when the container moves or foreign matters enter the container, controlling the water outlet equipment to stop water outlet; when the container does not move or foreign matters do not enter the container, the water outlet state of the water outlet device is maintained.

In the process of water outlet of the water outlet device, images of a water receiving area, where a container is placed, below a water outlet of the water outlet device can be collected in real time or at preset time intervals, and the preset time can be flexibly set according to actual needs. Then, whether the container moves or not is judged according to the image, for example, when the container is judged to shake or move from the lower part of the water outlet device based on one or more current images, identified by an identification model or through pixel ratio equality between different images, the container is judged to move. When the container moves, the water outlet device can be controlled to stop water outlet in order to avoid the situation that the container is easy to pour due to shaking or the container is moved away from the lower part of the water outlet device to cause water resource waste.

And judging whether foreign matters enter the container or not according to the image, wherein the foreign matters can comprise mosquitoes, insects and the like, for example, when the container is judged to have mosquitoes falling into the container based on one or more current images through recognition by a recognition model or through pixel ratio equality between different frame images, in order to avoid that a user drinks unclean water, the water outlet device can be controlled to stop water outlet. It should be noted that, whether the container moves or not and whether foreign matter enters the container or not may be detected at the same time, or only whether the container moves or not may be detected, or only whether foreign matter enters the container or not may be detected, and the specific content is not limited herein. When the container does not move or foreign matters do not enter the container, the water outlet state of the water outlet device is maintained until the condition of stopping water outlet is met, and the water outlet device is controlled to stop water outlet.

The water outlet device can be controlled to discharge water according to a first water outlet rate, a first water level for receiving water by the container is obtained, when the first water level is matched with a first threshold value, the water outlet device is controlled to discharge water according to a second water outlet rate, and the first water outlet rate is greater than the second water outlet rate; and acquiring a second water level of the container for receiving water currently, and controlling the water outlet equipment to stop water outlet when the second water level is matched with a second threshold, wherein the first threshold is larger than the second threshold. This scheme carries out different control to water outlet rate through the different water levels of container, has improved flexibility and the security to the water outlet device control.
