Detailed Implementation

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0043] The following is combined Figures 1-4 The fluid assembly of the present invention is described. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the fluid assembly of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the fluid assembly of the present invention includes: at least one first pipe 110, and each first pipe 110 is connected to a fluid delivery device 120;

[0044] The fluid conveying device 120 includes a diverter 125, which is connected to at least one second pipe 122. All or part of the second pipe 122 is connected to a fluid storage device 121 at its other end. Each second pipe 122 is equipped with a power unit 123. The diverter 125 is also connected to the first pipe 110. A check valve 124 is also provided between the power unit 123 and the diverter 125.

[0045] The fluid storage device 121 is used to store at least one type of fluid, and the at least one type of fluid includes liquids;

[0046] The power unit 123 is used to draw fluid from the corresponding second pipe 122 to the diverter 125;

[0047] The diverter 125 is used to deliver the incoming fluid to the first pipe 110;

[0048] It also includes a control device 130, which is connected to each of the power devices 123 and is used to generate control commands according to a preset fluid layout, and control the opening and closing of the power devices 123 according to the control commands; the fluid layout indicates the fluid type at each location in the first pipe 110.

[0049] Specifically, fluid is continuously supplied to the first pipe 110 via the fluid delivery device 120, so that information can be expressed through the fluid-filled first pipe 110. There is at least one first pipe 110, and its specific number can be set according to the actual needs of information expression; for example, there can be four first pipes 110. Each first pipe 110 is connected to a corresponding fluid delivery device 120, meaning each first pipe 110 is connected to a corresponding fluid delivery device 120, and each fluid delivery device 120 delivers fluid to its respective first pipe 110.

[0050] The fluid delivery device 120 includes a distributor 125, and each distributor 125 is connected to at least one second pipe 122. Each second pipe 122 is equipped with a power unit 123, and at least a portion of the other end of the second pipe 122 is connected to a fluid storage device 121. The fluid storage device 121 is used to store at least one type of fluid, where the fluid can be a liquid or a gas, and the at least one type of fluid stored in the fluid storage device 121 includes liquids. For example, if only one second pipe 122 is connected to the distributor 125, the other end of the second pipe 122 is connected to a fluid storage device 121, which is used to store a preset type of liquid. If multiple second pipes 122 are connected to the distributor 125, one second pipe 122 can be connected to a fluid storage device 121, which is used to store a preset type of liquid. Alternatively, multiple second pipes 122 can be connected to fluid storage devices 121, with each second pipe 122 corresponding to a fluid storage device 121. Each fluid storage device 121 can be used to store the same type of fluid or to store different types of fluid. Different types of fluid can be set according to actual needs. For example, it can be different types of liquid, gas and different types of liquid, or gas and the same type of liquid. The specific structure of the fluid storage device 121 is not required and can be set according to actual needs. For example, if the fluid storage device 121 is used to store liquids, it is sufficient to ensure that the liquid does not flow out, such as a liquid storage tank. If it is used to store gases, a closed or non-closed structure can be adopted according to actual needs. For example, if the required gas is air, a non-closed structure can be adopted, such as a funnel-shaped structure with an open top. If the required gas is other types of gases, a closed structure can be adopted, such as a gas storage tank.

[0051] The diverter 125 is also connected to the first pipe 110. A power unit 123 installed on the second pipe 122 draws fluid from the second pipe 122 to the diverter 125, and then the diverter 125 transports the incoming fluid back to the first pipe 110. A check valve 124 is provided between the power unit 123 and the diverter 125 to prevent fluid in the first pipe 110 from flowing back to the second pipe 122 through the diverter 125, thus ensuring the effective flow of fluid in the first pipe 110. Each power unit 123 can operate in a preset sequence, and only one power unit 123 operates in the same fluid delivery device 120 at any given time to prevent different types of fluid from mixing, ensuring the effective expression of information in the first pipe 110. As an optional implementation, four second pipes 122 can be connected to the distributor 125, three of which are connected to a fluid storage device 121. The three second pipes 122 are connected to the three fluid storage devices 121 in a one-to-one correspondence. Each fluid storage device 121 can be used to store liquids of different colors so that liquids of different colors can flow into the corresponding first pipe 110. The fourth second pipe 122 can be suspended or connected to other devices, such as a gas generating device.

[0052] The control device 130 may include a host computer and a controller. The host computer generates control commands based on a preset fluid layout. The controller controls the opening and closing of the power device 123 according to the control commands. The fluid layout represents the fluid category at each location in the first pipe 110, that is, the order and length of each category of fluid flowing into the first pipe 110. This fluid layout can be written to the host computer after it is generated. The host computer can determine the operating duration of each power device 123 based on the fluid layout, the radius of the first pipe 110, and the operating power of the power device 123, and thus determine the opening and closing times of each power device 123, generating corresponding control commands based on these times. For example, the volume of the fluid category can be determined based on the radius of the first pipe 110 and the length of the fluid in the first pipe 110. The operating duration of the power device 123 can be determined based on the volume and the operating power of the power device 123. The opening and closing times of each power device 123 can be determined based on the order of the fluid categories and the operating duration of each power device 123.

[0053] The controller can use a C8051F340 motherboard for multi-channel PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control, and drive the corresponding power unit 123 to start and stop through the output of each PWM. The control cycle can be set to 2.2 milliseconds, and the duty cycle can be adjusted from 0 to 99. Simultaneously, the C8051F340 motherboard can be driven by a 12V 10A centralized power supply. A DC-DC converter and a π-type filter are connected sequentially between the power supply and the C8051F340 motherboard. The DC-DC converter converts the 12V voltage to 5V, and the π-type filter then powers the C8051F340 motherboard. The start and stop of the corresponding power unit 123 can be driven by ULN2803 chips. For example, if the fluid assembly includes four fluid delivery devices 120, and each fluid delivery device 120 includes four power units 123, then four ULN2803 chips can be used to drive sixteen power units 123. Therefore, the control device 130 can automatically control the fluid flowing into the first pipe 110 according to a preset fluid layout, so that the first pipe 110 can express information according to a preset pattern. Here, concrete information can be expressed through the first pipe 110 through which fluid flows, for example, letters, numbers, etc. can be displayed through the final position of the fluid in the first pipe 110. Abstract information can also be expressed through the first pipe 110 through which fluid flows, for example, emotions can be expressed through the flow process of the fluid in the first pipe 110.

[0054] Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention connect a fluid conveying device 120 to the first pipe 110 to input fluid into the corresponding first pipe 110. The fluid conveying device 120 includes a diverter 125, and at least one second pipe 122 is connected to the diverter 125. The other end of all or part of the second pipe 122 is connected to a fluid storage device 121, and each second pipe 122 is provided with a power device 123. The diverter 125 is also connected to the first pipe 110. A check valve 124 is provided between the power device 123 and the diverter 125. The control device 130 is connected to each power device 123, generates control commands according to a preset fluid layout, and controls the opening and closing of the power device 123 according to the control commands, so that the fluid in the corresponding second pipe 122 is automatically input into the first pipe 110 through the power device 123. This enables the fluid to flow in the first pipe 110 according to the preset fluid layout, thereby expressing information through the first pipe 110 through which the fluid flows. The structure is relatively simple.

[0055] Meanwhile, the fluid component of this invention can express abstract information, such as emotions, through the flow of fluid within the first pipe 110. For example, the first pipes 110 can be woven into a preset shape, and under the control of the control device 130, the fluid delivery device 120 continuously delivers liquid to the corresponding first pipes 110, thereby realizing the expression of the corresponding abstract information. Therefore, the fluid component of this invention can assist creators in creating artworks by utilizing the flow of fluid within the pipes.

[0056] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control device 130 is also connected to an indicator device 140, which is used to indicate the working status of each of the power devices 123.

[0057] Specifically, the indicator 140 can be a display screen to show the working status of each power unit 123, or it can be an LED indicator, with each LED indicator corresponding to one power unit 123. Thus, the working status of each power unit 123 can be viewed through the indicator 140, making it convenient for users to keep track of the operating status of the fluid components in real time.

[0058] Based on any of the above embodiments, each of the second pipes 122 is connected to each of the fluid storage devices 121 in a one-to-one correspondence, and at least a portion of the fluid storage devices 121 are used to store liquids of a preset category.

[0059] Specifically, as an optional connection method, each second pipe 122 can be connected to a fluid storage device 121, with each second pipe 122 corresponding to a fluid storage device 121, and at least some of the fluid storage devices 121 are used to store liquids of a preset category. The fluid stored in each fluid storage device 121 can be set according to the fluid category required for information expression, for example, it can be set according to the type of liquid color and gas required. By introducing gas, not only can the flow effect of the liquid be enhanced, but the color display effect in the first pipe 110 can also be enriched. In this embodiment of the invention, each second pipe 122 is connected to a fluid storage device 121 in a one-to-one correspondence, and at least some of the fluid storage devices 121 are used to store liquids of a preset category. Fluids can be stored through the fluid storage devices 121 according to actual needs, making it flexible, convenient, and highly applicable.

[0060] Based on any of the above embodiments, at least two second pipes 122 are connected to the diverter 125, with the other end of a portion of the second pipes 122 connected to the fluid storage device 121, and the other end of the remaining second pipes 122 suspended; wherein, at least a portion of the fluid storage device 121 is used to store liquids of a preset category.

[0061] Specifically, as another optional connection method, the distributor 125 is connected to at least two second pipes 122, with the other end of some of the second pipes 122 connected to the fluid storage device 121, and the other end of the remaining second pipes 122 suspended. At least part of the fluid storage device 121 is used to store a predetermined type of liquid. When the other end of the second pipe 122 is connected to the fluid storage device 121, the fluid stored in the fluid storage device 121 can be drawn to the distributor 125 via the power device 123 on the second pipe 122. When the other end of the second pipe 122 is suspended, air in the second pipe 122 can be directly drawn to the distributor 125 via the power device 123 on the second pipe 122, without needing to connect to the fluid storage device 121.

[0062] Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, when at least two second pipes 122 are connected to the distributor 125, the other end of a portion of the second pipes 122 is connected to the fluid storage device 121, while the other end of the remaining second pipes 122 is suspended. At least a portion of the fluid storage device 121 is used to store liquids of a preset category. This can effectively reduce the number of fluid storage devices 121 during installation and use, thereby reducing costs and installation difficulty. At the same time, the fluid storage device 121 can be installed and disassembled according to actual needs, making it more flexible to use.

[0063] Based on any of the above embodiments, the splitter 125 includes a plurality of input ports and an output port; the plurality of input ports are respectively connected to the second pipe 122 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the output port is connected to the first pipe 110.

[0064] Specifically, the input ports of the diverter 125 are connected one-to-one with the second pipes 122, meaning the number of input ports of the diverter 125 is the same as the number of second pipes 122; the output port of the diverter 125 is connected to the first pipe 110. The specific structure of the diverter 125 can be set according to the number of input and output ports. For example, in the case of four second pipes 122, a five-way diverter can be used. Thus, through the diverter 125, the fluid in each second pipe 122 can be transported to the first pipe 110 to ensure the flow effect of the fluid in the first pipe 110.

[0065] Based on any of the above embodiments, the first pipe 110 includes an inlet and an outlet, the inlet being connected to the output port of the diverter 125, and the outlet being connected to a recovery device 150, such as... Figure 3 As shown.

[0066] Specifically, the first pipe 110 includes an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is connected to the output port of the distributor 125, and the outlet can be connected to a recovery device 150. The recovery device 150 is used to store the liquid flowing out of the outlet of the first pipe 110, thereby achieving uninterrupted flow of fluid within the first pipe 110. It is understood that the outlet of the first pipe 110 can also be suspended or connected to other pipes / devices. Multiple first pipes 110 can share one recovery device 150, or each first pipe 110 can be connected to a separate recovery device 150, or some first pipes 110 can share one recovery device 150, depending on specific requirements. Where all fluid storage devices 121 of the fluid conveying device 120 contain only one type of liquid, the recovery device 150 can be shared with the fluid storage device 121 storing the liquid to achieve liquid reuse.

[0067] Based on any of the above embodiments, the power unit 123 adopts a liquid-gas peristaltic pump.

[0068] Specifically, the specific model of the liquid-gas peristaltic pump can be set according to actual needs. For example, the KEF-HB1S10PSO model liquid-gas peristaltic pump can be used. The liquid-gas peristaltic pump can generate droplets from the liquid in the second pipe 122, or generate bubbles from the gas in the second pipe 122, thereby achieving precise control of the liquid or gas flowing into the first pipe 110. Simultaneously, during operation, the fluid only contacts the pump tube and not the pump body, effectively avoiding contamination. Furthermore, the liquid-gas peristaltic pump has high repeatability and good stability, effectively ensuring the flow of fluid in the first pipe 110, and is easy to maintain.

[0069] Based on any of the above embodiments, the second pipe 122 is connected to the fluid storage device 121 via a tee pipe 160; the first port of the tee pipe 160 is connected to the second pipe 122, and the second and third ports of the tee pipe 160 are respectively connected to one of the fluid storage devices 121; a solenoid valve 170 is provided at the second and third ports, such as... Figure 4 As shown;

[0070] The fluid storage device 121 connected to the second port and the fluid storage device 121 connected to the third port are used to store fluids of the same type.

[0071] Specifically, the second pipe 122 is connected to the fluid storage device 121 via a three-way pipe 160. The first port of the three-way pipe 160 is connected to the second pipe 122, and the second and third ports are respectively connected to a fluid storage device 121. A solenoid valve 170 is provided at the second and third ports, and the fluid storage devices 121 connected to the second and third ports are used to store fluids of the same type. That is, one of the fluid storage devices 121 is kept as a backup so that when the fluid in the currently working fluid storage device 121 runs out or is about to run out, the fluid storage device 121 can be quickly switched by controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 170 to prevent the flow interruption from affecting the flow effect of the fluid in the first pipe 110.

[0072] It is understandable that the tee pipe 160 can also be replaced with a four-way pipe, a five-way pipe, etc., depending on the number of spare fluid storage devices 121.

[0073] Based on any of the above embodiments, the fluid storage device 121 is further provided with a level gauge or a gas flow meter for detecting the remaining amount of fluid in the fluid storage device 121.

[0074] Specifically, when the fluid storage device 121 is used to store liquid, a level gauge can be installed in the fluid storage device 121 to detect the remaining amount of liquid in the fluid storage device 121; when the fluid storage device 121 is used to store gas, a gas flow meter can be installed in the fluid storage device 121 to detect the remaining amount of gas in the fluid storage device 121. It should be noted that when the gas stored in the fluid storage device 121 is air, it is not necessary to switch or add fluid to the fluid storage device 121. By installing a level gauge or a gas flow meter in the fluid storage device 121, it is easy to accurately determine the remaining amount of fluid in the fluid storage device 121, thereby enabling timely switching or addition of fluid to the fluid storage device 121 to prevent the flow interruption from affecting the flow effect of the fluid in the first pipeline 110. The opening and closing of the solenoid valve 170 can be manually controlled or automatically controlled by a control circuit. For example, the control circuit may include a comparison circuit. The two inputs of the comparator circuit are connected to a reference remaining fluid level and a level gauge or gas flow meter in the currently operating fluid storage device 121, respectively. The output of the comparator circuit is connected to the solenoid valve 170 to be controlled. If the remaining fluid level measured by the level gauge or gas flow meter is greater than the reference remaining fluid level, the comparator circuit outputs 0; otherwise, the comparator circuit outputs 1. When the comparator circuit outputs 1, the solenoid valve 170 to be controlled opens, completing the automatic switching of the fluid storage device 121. The output of the comparator circuit can also be connected to an alarm device, such as a buzzer. When the comparator circuit outputs 1, the alarm device sounds an alarm to remind the user to switch the fluid storage device 121 or add fluid in a timely manner.

[0075] Based on any of the above embodiments, the first pipe 110 is a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber (TPU) hose.

[0076] Specifically, TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethanes) hoses exhibit excellent resistance to mineral oils, animal and vegetable oils, lubricants, and various solvents, effectively ensuring the sensory performance of the fluid during continuous flow in the first conduit 110. Simultaneously, TPU hoses possess good abrasion resistance, tear resistance, and flexural strength, with a low long-term compression set. Therefore, after the TPU hoses are braided into a predetermined shape, damage to the TPU hoses can be effectively prevented, ensuring the effective information expression of the fluid components.

[0077] Based on any of the above embodiments, the second pipe 122 is a silicone hose.

[0078] Specifically, since the fluid in the first pipe 110 needs to flow continuously to display the corresponding abstract information, in practical applications, the fluid delivery device 120 can be hidden, for example, by encapsulating the various components of the fluid delivery device 120. Therefore, the second pipe 122 uses a silicone flexible tube that is not easily broken, which on the one hand ensures the service life of the second pipe 122, and on the other hand effectively reduces the encapsulation space of the fluid delivery device 120.

[0079] Based on any of the above embodiments, this invention provides a method for generating a fluid layout of a fluid component, which is executed by an electronic device such as a computer or the software and hardware therein. Figure 5 This is a schematic flowchart of the fluid layout generation method for the fluid component of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the method includes:

[0080] S501. Provide a fluid arrangement interface, the fluid arrangement interface including an arrangement track corresponding to the first pipe 110; the arrangement track is used to arrange the fluid type at each position in the first pipe 110.

[0081] Specifically, the fluid orchestration interface is used to generate the fluid layout of each first pipe 110. The fluid orchestration interface includes at least one orchestration track, each orchestration track corresponding to each first pipe 110, and is used to orchestrate the fluid type at each position in the corresponding first pipe 110.

[0082] S502, in response to a choreography operation for at least one target position of the choreography track, determine the fluid category of the at least one target position.

[0083] Specifically, the target position is the location in the track where the fluid category needs to be determined. The fluid category can be determined individually for each target position, or multiple target positions can be determined simultaneously. Here, the length of the track can be divided according to preset fluid units, and the position information can be identified according to the index number of each fluid unit. That is, one target position is one fluid unit, and the index number of each fluid unit is the sequence number for arranging the fluid units in order. The preset fluid units can be set according to actual needs. For example, one fluid unit can represent the length of fluid generated by the power unit 123 in 0.5 seconds at 50% power, corresponding to a 4 cm fluid length in the first pipe 110 with a 2 mm inner diameter.

[0084] Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention provide a fluid arrangement interface including an arrangement track corresponding to the first pipe 110, and determine the fluid category of at least one target position in response to an arrangement operation for at least one target position of the arrangement track. This enables convenient and quick arrangement of the fluid category at each position in the first pipe 110 according to the information expression requirements of the first pipe 110, and ensures the accuracy of the arrangement result, providing a data foundation for improving the information expression effect of the first pipe 110.

[0085] Based on any of the above embodiments, determining the fluid category of the at least one target location in response to a choreography operation for at least one target location of the choreography track includes:

[0086] In response to the position selection operation for the arranged track, the target position of the arranged track is determined;

[0087] In response to a fluid category selection operation for a target location of the orchestration track, the fluid category of the target location of the orchestration track is determined.

[0088] Specifically, as an optional implementation, in response to the position selection operation for the arrangement track, the target position of the arrangement track is determined. Here, the target position can be a certain position in the arrangement track. The position selection operation for the arrangement track can be set according to actual needs. For example, the target position can be determined by moving the cursor with a shortcut key or arrow key, or by clicking with the mouse.

[0089] After selecting the target location, the fluid category of the target location is determined in response to the fluid category selection operation for the arranging track. Here, the fluid category selection operation for the target location of the arranging track can be set according to actual needs. For example, different shortcut keys can be set for different fluid categories, and the fluid category can be determined by the shortcut keys. Alternatively, fluid category options corresponding to the arranging track can be set in the fluid arranging interface. In response to the selection operation for the fluid category options, the fluid category of the target location is determined. The selection operation for the fluid category options can be performed by using the mouse or arrow keys to select the corresponding fluid category from the fluid category options.

[0090] Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention, in response to the position selection operation for the arrangement track, determine the target position of the arrangement track, and in response to the fluid category selection operation for the target position of the arrangement track, determine the fluid category of the target position of the arrangement track. This can quickly and accurately determine the target position for the fluid category arrangement, and determine the fluid category of the target position according to the information expression requirements of the first pipe 110. The operation is simple and convenient, and ensures the accuracy of the fluid layout arrangement result.

[0091] Based on any of the above embodiments, the fluid assembly includes at least two of the first conduits 110;

[0092] Before determining the target position of the orchestration track in response to the position selection operation for the orchestration track, the method further includes:

[0093] In response to a track selection operation for the arranged track, the arranged track to be arranged is determined.

[0094] Specifically, when there are two or more first pipes 110, the fluid arrangement interface includes multiple arrangement tracks corresponding one-to-one with each first pipe 110. Therefore, before determining the target position of the arrangement track, it is necessary to first determine the arrangement track to be arranged. After determining the arrangement track, the target position of the arrangement track can be quickly determined using shortcut keys or arrow keys, ensuring the accuracy of the fluid layout arrangement result. Here, the track selection operation for the arrangement track can be set according to specific needs. For example, the arrangement track can be determined by moving the cursor using shortcut keys or arrow keys, or by clicking with the mouse.

[0095] Based on any of the above embodiments, the fluid orchestration interface further includes input controls corresponding to the orchestration track;

[0096] The first position identifier, the second position identifier, and the third position identifier are obtained from the input control; wherein the first position identifier and the second position identifier represent the start position and the end position of the fluid segment to be copied, respectively; and the third position identifier represents the start position of the at least one target position.

[0097] The fluid category of the at least one target location is determined based on the starting position of the at least one target location and the fluid category at each position in the fluid segment to be copied.

[0098] Specifically, the input controls can correspond one-to-one with the arrangement tracks, thereby enabling the rapid and accurate determination of the fluid category at each target position on the corresponding arrangement track based on the input from the input controls. Each input control includes three sub-controls, which are used to acquire a first position identifier, a second position identifier, and a third position identifier. The first and second position identifiers represent the start and end positions of the fluid segment to be copied, respectively, while the third position identifier represents the start position of at least one target position to be arranged. The fluid segment to be copied refers to the fluid category at each position on the arrangement track, defined by the first position identifier as the start position and the second position identifier as the end position. The first and second position identifiers can be the same or different. The third position identifier represents the start position of at least one target position. The number of target positions can be determined based on the first and second position identifiers. Based on the start position and the number of target positions, each target position can be obtained, and thus, the fluid category at each target position can be determined based on the fluid category of the fluid segment to be copied at each position. Therefore, this method enables batch replication of fluid categories in the arrangement track, thereby significantly reducing repetitive work and effectively improving the arrangement efficiency of fluid layout.

[0099] Each input control may also include a confirmation control; in response to a confirmation operation on the confirmation control, the content entered in the three input sub-controls is saved.

[0100] Each input control may also include a display control, which includes fluid category options corresponding to the arrangement track. The fluid category options can be used to display the fluid category corresponding to each arrangement track. After the target position of the arrangement track is determined, the fluid category of the target position can be determined in response to the selection operation of the fluid category option.

[0101] Based on any of the above embodiments, it further includes:

[0102] A fluid category selection interface is provided; the fluid category selection interface includes a first selection control and a second selection control corresponding to the first pipe 110; the first selection control includes candidate options for each fluid category; the second selection control includes selection options for the fluid category corresponding to the first pipe 110;

[0103] In response to a selection operation on the selection item of the second selection control, determine the target selection item in the second selection control;

[0104] In response to a selection operation on a candidate of the first selection control, the fluid category of the target selection is determined.

[0105] Specifically, the fluid layout generation method for fluid components in this embodiment of the invention further includes providing a fluid category selection interface. The fluid category selection interface is used to set the fluid category required for each arrangement track in the fluid arrangement interface. The fluid category selection interface includes a first selection control and a second selection control corresponding to the first pipe 110. The first selection control includes candidate options for each fluid category. The number of candidate options can be set according to actual needs. For example, the number of candidate options can be the same as the number of fluid storage devices 121, the same as the total number of fluid categories required for each first pipe 110, or the same as the number of fluid storage devices 121 storing liquid. The second selection control includes selection items for the fluid categories corresponding to the first pipe 110, i.e., each first pipe 110 corresponds to one second selection control, and each second selection control includes a set of fluid category selection items. Each set of selection items is used to determine the fluid category required for the corresponding first pipe 110. Each set of selection items includes one or more selection items, and each selection item corresponds to a fluid category.

[0106] During the process of setting the required fluid category for each track in the fluid orchestration interface through the fluid category selection interface, in response to the selection operation of the selection item for the second selection control, the target selection item in the second selection control is determined. The target selection item is the selection item whose fluid category is to be set. Here, the selection operation can be performed by clicking the mouse to determine the target selection item. After determining the target selection item, in response to the selection operation of the candidate item for the first selection control, the fluid category of the target selection item is determined, so as to set the fluid category of the target selection item through the selected candidate item.

[0107] Therefore, by providing a fluid category selection interface, the embodiments of the present invention can quickly and accurately set the fluid category required for each arrangement track in the fluid arrangement interface.

[0108] Based on any of the above embodiments, the fluid orchestration interface further includes a first save control and a first switch control; in response to a confirmation operation on the first save control, the fluid category orchestration results of each orchestration track are saved; in response to a confirmation operation on the first switch control, the current interface is switched to the fluid category selection interface.

[0109] The fluid category selection interface also includes a second save control and a second switch control; in response to the confirmation operation of the second save control, the fluid category of each selected item is saved; in response to the confirmation operation of the second switch control, the current interface is switched to the fluid orchestration interface.

[0110] By setting up the first save control, the first switch control, the second save control, and the second switch control, it is easy to save data and switch interfaces, making the operation flexible and convenient.

[0111] The following example illustrates the specific form of the fluid category selection interface and fluid arrangement interface of the present invention through an optional implementation.

[0112] Assume that the fluid assembly includes four first pipes 110, and each fluid delivery device 120 includes four second pipes 122, wherein three of the second pipes 122 are connected to fluid storage devices 121, each fluid storage device 121 is used to store liquids of different colors, and the second pipes 122 not connected to the fluid storage devices 121 are used to introduce air.

The initial state of each option can be a white box, and the corresponding color is displayed after the fluid category is determined; the first selection control includes twelve candidate options, each candidate option corresponding to a liquid of a certain color.

[0114] like Figure 7 As shown, the fluid arrangement interface includes a first save control, a first switch control, four arrangement tracks (Track1, Track2, Track3, and Track4), and four input controls (corresponding one-to-one with the four arrangement tracks Track1, Track2, Track3, and Track4). Each of the four arrangement tracks has a corresponding position indicator control to display the track's position information, facilitating the determination of the target position during fluid layout arrangement. Each input control includes a confirmation control (√), a display control, and three input sub-controls (Input 1, Input 2, and Input 3). The display control includes three fluid category options.
