In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, the indication of the indicator lamp can be divided into two cases:

1. when the constant temperature Tc is adjusted, the application scene indicating lamp still works

1) The scene indicator lamp may include a first indicator lamp, and when the constant temperature Tc is adjusted, the application scene indicator lamp (the first indicator lamp) may operate along with a lower limit of the application scene setting temperature TS, that is, when Tc is less than or equal to TS, the application scene indicator lamp corresponding to the minimum TS lights up, for example: tc belongs to [40,45], and a warm drink indicator lamp is turned on; tc belongs to (45, 55), "hot tone" indicator lights are on, Tc belongs to (55, 65), "cream" indicator lights are on, Tc belongs to (65, 70), "WHO" indicator lights are on, Tc belongs to (70, 85), "Green tea" indicator lights are on, when Tc belongs to (85, 90), following the application scene nearby, the "Green tea" indicator lights are still on.

2) The scene indication may include a second indicator light, and when the constant temperature Tc is adjusted, the application scene indicator light (second indicator light) may operate with the upper limit of the application scene setting temperature TS, that is, when Tc is greater than or equal to TS, the application scene indicator light corresponding to the largest TS lights up, for example: tc belongs to [85,90], and an indicator lamp of 'green tea' is lighted; tc belongs to 70,85, and a WHO indicator lamp is lighted; tc belongs to [65,70), "rice paste" indicator light lights; tc belongs to [55,65 ], and a 'hot adjustment' indicator lamp is lighted; tc is in the range of 45,55, the warm drink indicating lamp is lighted, Tc is in the range of 40,45, and the warm drink indicating lamp is still lighted.

3) The scene indication may include a third indicator light, and when the constant temperature Tc is adjusted, the application scene indicator light (third indicator light) may operate with the nearest application scene set temperature Ts, for example: tc belongs to [40,50 ], and a warm drink indicating lamp is lightened; tc belongs to [50,60 ], and the indicator light of 'hot tuning' is lighted; tc e (60, 68), indicator light "Mi Hu" lights up, Tc e (68, 78), "WHO" lights up, Tc e (78, 90), "Green tea" lights up.

4) The scene indication can comprise a fourth indicator light which indicates the single constant temperature in a specific scene; when the application scene indication in 1), 2), and 3) is adopted, a single process is performed for the indication of a specific application scene, for example, the application scene indicator lamp is turned on only when Tc is equal to TS, and if the WHO turns on the "WHO" indicator lamp (fourth indicator lamp) only when the set temperature Tc is equal to TS 70. As described in relation to 3), when the constant temperature Tc is adjusted, the application scene indicating lamp operates with the nearest application scene set temperature TS, for example: tc belongs to [40,50 ], and a warm drink indicating lamp is lightened; tc belongs to [50,60 ], and the indicator light of 'hot tuning' is lighted; tc belongs to [60,70), "rice paste" indicator light lights; tc 70, "WHO" indicator light on; tc epsilon (70, 90), and the green tea indicator light is on.

2. When the constant temperature Tc is adjusted, the application scene indicating lamp is turned off

In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the method may further include: and when the regulated temperature is out of the set temperature range, the first indicator light, the second indicator light and the third indicator light corresponding to the selected constant temperature application scene are turned off.

In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, the constant temperature is adjusted by "+" or "-", if the constant temperature is not equal to a certain set application scene temperature, the application scene indicator light is turned off, and only the set nixie tube displays the set temperature value.

In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, the lowest constant temperature may be determined according to the highest possible ambient temperature (the highest possible room temperature), and the highest constant temperature may be set according to the specific requirement and the energy saving principle, and theoretically, the higher the constant temperature is maintained, the greater the energy is required.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the first indicator light, the second indicator light, the third indicator light, and the fourth indicator light may be implemented by using one indicator light for different application scenes, that is, one indicator light is set for one application scene, and the indicator light corresponding to the corresponding application scene is turned on only when the temperature of the corresponding application scene is adjusted within the temperature range of the corresponding application scene; the method can also be realized by adopting a plurality of indicator lights respectively aiming at different application scenes, namely, a plurality of indicator lights are arranged in one application scene.

In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, in order to solve the problem of temperature-fixing adjustable and temperature-fixing application scene many-to-one mapping, a temperature interval may be divided into a plurality of application scenes, so that on the premise of ensuring that the function indication is clear and visualized, the space and cost required by the function indication are saved.

Example four

This embodiment gives a key multiplexing embodiment on the basis of any of the embodiments described above.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the method may further include: under the standby state, the function key is multiplexed as the constant temperature scene selection key, and a constant temperature application scene is selected through the function key; and after the function is started, the function key is reused as the temperature adjusting key, and the set temperature of the selected constant temperature application scene is adjusted through the function key.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the one function key and the two temperature adjustment keys ("+" and "-") described in the foregoing embodiments may be reduced to one function key, that is, one function key may be simultaneously multiplexed as the constant temperature scene selection key and the constant temperature adjustment key. In the standby state, a constant temperature scene such as a warm drink (default constant temperature scene) → hot style → rice paste → WHO → green tea → cancel function → a warm drink can be selected as a constant temperature scene selection key. After the function is started, the constant temperature can be adjusted as a temperature adjusting key, for example, the short press can be increased by 1 ℃, the cycle adjustment (namely, the temperature jumps back to the minimum constant temperature of 40 ℃ after the temperature is increased to the maximum constant temperature of 90 ℃) and the long press can be quickly adjusted.

In the exemplary embodiment of the application, the key reuse can effectively save the number of keys and reduce the cost.

EXAMPLE five

The embodiment of the present application further provides an electric kettle 1, as shown in fig. 2, which may include a processor 11, a computer-readable storage medium 12, a function key 13, a constant temperature scene selection key 14, and a temperature adjustment key 15; the computer readable storage medium 12 stores instructions that, when executed by the processor 11, implement any one of the above-mentioned temperature control methods for an electric kettle.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the function key 13 may be multiplexed as the constant temperature scene selection key 14 and the temperature adjustment key 15.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the constant temperature scene selection key 14 and the temperature adjustment key 15 may be implemented using an encoder.

In exemplary embodiments of the present application, an encoder may be employed to achieve the constant temperature scene selection and adjustment.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the one function key and the two temperature adjustment keys ("+" and "-") described in the above embodiments may be replaced with an encoder having a key, and in a standby state, a constant temperature scene may be selected by rotating the encoder, and the constant temperature scene may be selected from left to right in a left-handed operation, such as a warm drink (default constant temperature scene) → green tea → WHO → rice paste → hot mix → a warm drink; the fixed-temperature scene is selected from right to left in the right-handed operation, such as warm drink (default fixed-temperature scene) → hot tune → rice paste → WHO → green tea → warm drink. After the constant temperature scene is selected, the encoder can be pressed to start or the constant temperature function can be started after waiting for a period of time, then the encoder is rotated to adjust the temperature of the constant temperature scene, the left rotation is used for reducing the constant temperature value, and the right rotation is used for increasing the constant temperature value.

In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, the encoder with the key switch can save space, a certain interval is required between the keys in order to reduce crosstalk between the keys, and the layout of a plurality of keys further requires a large control interface space. Meanwhile, the operation of the encoder can meet the requirement of human-computer interaction, and because the touch keys on the side wall are difficult to operate, effective input is difficult to realize; in contrast, the rotation of the encoder operates better and the input feedback is more direct.
