Referring to fig. 11, a recess may be formed in the bottom of the drip pan 17, and a magnet 172 may be accommodated in the recess to attract the drip pan 17 to the lower cover 16. When the water in the water receiving tray 17 is more, the water receiving tray 17 can be taken down, and the water is poured out. The water pan 17 and the lower cover 16 are relatively fixed through the magnet 172, and the water pan is simple in structure and easy to disassemble and pour water.

The instant heating container 1 may further comprise a probe 18, one end of the probe 18 being fixed to the housing 12 or a fixed structure provided in the housing 12, and the other end extending into the drip tray 17. The water level within the drip tray 17 is sensed by the probe 18 and once the water level is too high, the user may be alerted by an alarm or other means.

Fig. 12 is a flowchart of a drainage control method of an instant heating container according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 12, the embodiment of the present invention provides a drainage control method of an instant heating container 1, the method including:

s101, detecting the state of the water receiving port 121.

Whether the water receiving of a user is finished or not is determined by detecting the state of the water receiving port 121, and if the water receiving is finished, a self-cleaning program can be started.

S102, judging whether the water receiving port 121 is changed from the water receiving state to the water stopping state.

It should be noted that, if the interior of the hot container 1 is in a water shortage state, it is considered that the water receiving state is not currently entered, and the process is terminated. That is, whether the hot water container 1 is in a water shortage state or not can be determined by detecting parameters such as the current of the pump 141, and if the current of the pump 141 is lower than a set value and the temperature of the water in the heater 13 is not changed, after a set time, there is no water source connected. The program will perform a water shortage protection and cut off the power supply to the instant heating vessel 1.

The change of the water receiving port 121 from the water receiving state to the water receiving stopping state includes two situations, one is that the user uses up the water source during the water receiving process to cause the water receiving stopping state. This may be accomplished by sensing the current to the pump 141 and if the current suddenly drops below a set point from a constant set point, the inlet water temperature threshold in the heater may change significantly, a phenomenon that occurs when the water supply is depleted during use. At this time, it may be determined that the water receiving port 121 is changed to the water receiving stopped state.

In another case, during the water receiving process, the water outlet is continuous and smooth, the current pumped by the pump 141 is continuous within the set value, and the water inlet temperature threshold value in the heater 13 is unchanged. After the water outlet time set by the program is reached, the water receiving port 121 is determined to be changed to the water receiving stopping state.

When the water receiving port 121 is changed from the water receiving state to the water receiving stopped state, the process proceeds to step S103.

S103, controlling the heat container 1 to start draining water through the draining port.

The program is executed according to the cleaning instruction, and the water pumping valve 145 is controlled to be closed, the water pumping valve 146 is controlled to be opened, the pump 141 is controlled to rotate for reversing, and the pump 141 is controlled to pump water liquid reversely for a period of time, so that water drainage is realized.

The drainage control method of instant heating container that this application embodiment provided, judge that water receiving mouth 121 changes to stopping the water receiving state by the water receiving state, even after the user's water receiving finishes, can control instant heating container 1 with inside water and steam through outlet 144a discharge to accomplish self-cleaning. The self-cleaning process is carried out by directly utilizing the residual water in the instant heating container 1 without wasting extra water, thereby saving energy, and being healthy and safe.

S404, controlling the heater 13 to operate at the second power (W2); wherein W2 is more than W1.

If the change of the moisture humidity is not large, the drying force is insufficient, so that the power can be increased, the heating can be performed under higher power, and the drying speed can be increased.

And S507, controlling the heater 13 to stop working.

On the basis of the above embodiments, the drainage control method of the instant heating container provided by the embodiment of the present application may further include: judging whether the humidity value is smaller than a set third threshold value or not; when the humidity value is less than the set third threshold value, controlling the heater 13 to operate at a fourth power (W4); wherein the third threshold is greater than the first threshold; w4< W3.

That is, after the drying process is continued for a set time, and the humidity of the moisture is found to reach a threshold (i.e., the third threshold), the heating is performed by continuously decreasing the second power W2 or the third power W3 to the fourth power W4. The third threshold corresponds to a moisture humidity near a dry state.

In the final stage of cleaning, the fourth power W4 can be reduced to the fifth power W5, and drying is carried out in a manner of gap heating and gradually lengthening gap periods (t1 < t2 < t 3< t 4< t5, and each gap period corresponds to each power). When the threshold value detected by the humidity sensor 120 reaches the threshold value (first threshold value) for complete drying, the cleaning process is completed, and the power supply is cut off.

And a simpler method can be adopted for drying control: first, the first power W1 is selected for heating, and when the humidity sensor 120 detects that the humidity of the water vapor does not change greatly, the first power W1 is increased to the second power W2; when the moisture humidity changes greatly, the power is reduced from the second power W2 to a third power W3; then the heating is carried out for a certain time at the third power W3, and then the heating is closed, the residual liquid is dried by using the residual heat, and meanwhile, the control pump 141 is assisted to suck water vapor. This type of cleaning takes a long time, but the procedure is simple. Wherein, W2 is more than W1 is more than W3.

In a specific implementation manner, the step S204 may specifically include: detecting the water receiving temperature corresponding to the water receiving state; and controlling the heater 13 to work at corresponding power according to the water receiving temperature.

The water receiving temperature can be detected by using a temperature sensor, and the heater 13 is controlled to heat with different heating powers according to the height of the water receiving temperature.

Specifically, according to the water receiving temperature, controlling the heater 13 to operate at a corresponding power includes: when the water receiving temperature is greater than or equal to the set temperature value, controlling the heater 13 to work at a first power (W1); when the water receiving temperature is lower than the set temperature value, the heater 13 is controlled to work at a power lower than the first power (W1).

Specifically, after the water heater is used in the boiling range, a large amount of steam and heat are accumulated in the heater 13, and in order to reduce the accumulation of the steam and the heat, the heater 13 can be controlled to heat at the first power R1. When a large change in moisture humidity is detected, the power will be reduced from the first power W1 to the third power W3. When the humidity of the moisture reaches the third threshold value after the set time is continued, the heater 13 is controlled to be decreased from the third power W3 to the fourth power W4. After a certain time, the heater 13 is controlled to decrease from the fourth power W4 to the fifth power W5, and the heating and drying can be performed in a gap heating manner, while the gap period is gradually increased. When the threshold value measured by the humidity sensor 120 reaches the first threshold value of complete drying, the cleaning procedure is completed, and the power supply is cut off. Wherein, W1 & gtW 3 & gtW 4 & gtW 5.

After the water heater is used in a hot water range (the temperature is lower than a boiling water range), a certain amount of steam and heat can be accumulated in the heater 13, in order to reduce the accumulation of the steam and the heat, the heater 13 can be controlled to heat at a first power W1, and when the humidity sensor 120 detects that the humidity of the steam is not changed greatly, the heater 13 is controlled to increase from the first power W1 to a second power W2 for heating and drying. When a change in moisture humidity is detected, the heater 13 is controlled to be lowered from the first power W1 to the third power W3, and after a set time has elapsed, if the moisture humidity reaches a third threshold, the heater 13 is controlled to be lowered from the third power W3 to the fourth power W4. After a certain time, the heater 13 is controlled to decrease from the fourth power W4 to the fifth power W5, and the drying is performed by heating in a gap heating manner, and the drying is performed by gradually increasing the gap period. When the threshold value measured by the humidity sensor 120 reaches the first threshold value of complete drying, the cleaning procedure is completed, and the power supply is cut off. Wherein W2> W1 > W3 > W4 > W5.

After the water heater is used in the normal-temperature water (the temperature is lower than the hot water gear), the heating heater 13 can be controlled to heat at the second power W2, and when the change of the moisture humidity is detected, the heater 13 is controlled to reduce from the second power W2 to the third power W3. After the set time is continued, if the humidity of the water vapor reaches a third threshold value, the heater 13 is controlled to decrease from the third power W3 to the fourth power W4, and after the set time is continued, the fourth power W4 is decreased to the fifth power W5, and the drying is performed in a gap heating manner, and meanwhile, the drying is performed in a manner that the gap period gradually increases. When the threshold value measured by the humidity sensor 120 reaches the first threshold value, the cleaning process is completed and the power is cut off. Wherein, W2 & gtW 3 & gtW 4 & gtW 5.
