FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a method for interactive operation of a water outlet system according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5 , the method is applied to any one of the above-mentioned methods. The water outlet system described in item, the method comprises the following steps 501-504:

In step 501, when the water outlet system is in a standby state, when any rotation operation on the knob or a pressing operation on the display component is received, the water outlet system is woken up.

Here, when the water outlet system is powered on, the display component starts to display. For example, the display screen in the display component may fade from left to right to display the brand LOGO, etc., prompting the user to turn on the device. After the water outlet system is turned on, it can be in a standby state. The PCB board 111 can receive the electrical signal sent by the rotary encoder 123 that the knob is rotated or the electrical signal sent by the switch button 111 that the display component 123 is pressed. If these electrical signals are received, the PCB board can Send these electrical signals to the MCU chip. When the water outlet system is in a standby state, the MCU chip will wake up the electrical signal after receiving the electrical signal corresponding to any rotation operation of the knob or pressing operation of the display component. Outlet system.

In step 502, when the electronic faucet is in an awake state, the rotation information of the knob detected by the rotary encoder is acquired.

In step 503, the user-adjusted water volume is determined according to the rotation information, and the display component is controlled to display the user-adjusted water volume.

In step 504, when receiving a pressing operation on the display component exceeding a first preset time period, instruct the water outlet control unit to control the water outlet pipe of the faucet to start water, and when the water output reaches the water volume required by the user , instruct the water outlet control unit to control the water outlet pipe of the faucet to turn off the water.

Here, when the water outlet system is in the wake-up state, the user can rotate the knob 132 to input the water intake, and can set the default value of the initial state to be V (500mL≥V≥100mL). After rotating the knob 132 clockwise or counterclockwise to reduce or increase the water volume, the MCU chip can obtain the rotation information through the rotary encoder 133, and then calculate the adjusted water intake, and control the display screen in the display component to display the current user adjustment. After the user checks the amount of water to be taken on the display screen, the adjustment is stopped, and then the user can long press the display component for the first preset duration t2 (for example, t2≥0.5s), and the MCU chip obtains the switch button. After 1111 is pressed for more than a preset first preset time period, the water outlet control unit can be instructed to control the water outlet pipe 13 of the faucet to discharge water. When the water output of the faucet water outlet pipe 13 reaches the water amount required by the user, the MCU chip can instruct the water outlet control unit to control the faucet water outlet pipe 13 to turn off the water.

Here, when there is no flow meter in the water outlet system, the MCU chip can perform fuzzy calculation through the opening time of the water inlet valve. For example, for a 400G water purifier, the water production volume in 1 minute is about 1.05L. The water output per second can be calculated as about 1.05*1000/60=17.5mL after the opening time. In this way, the MCU can determine the water output of the faucet water outlet pipe 13 by timing. Of course, when the water outlet system has a flow monitoring part, the water output of the water outlet pipe 13 of the faucet can be monitored through the flow monitoring part.

In this embodiment, water can be discharged according to the water intake amount input by the user, and the function of quantitative water intake can be realized, the water intake is convenient, and the user does not need to wait for the water intake, thus saving the user's time.

In a possible embodiment, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of an interactive operation method of a water outlet system according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6 , the above-mentioned interactive operation method of a water outlet system may further include steps 505 to 507. The above step 504 can also be implemented as the following step 5041.

In step 505, when the display component displays the amount of water, a pressing operation on the display component 131 is received, the mode is switched to the temperature adjustment mode, the current water temperature detected by the water temperature monitoring unit is acquired, and the display component is controlled to display the current water temperature.

In step 506, the rotation information of the knob detected by the rotary encoder is acquired.

In step 507, the water temperature adjusted by the user is determined according to the rotation information, and the display component is controlled to display the water temperature adjusted by the user.
