The flow threshold detection module detects and compares the flow rate with the set threshold. Once the set threshold is reached, the processor alerts the user through the display module and warning module. Simultaneously, the processor sends data to the mobile terminal through communication modules one and two, providing remote reminders to the user. The user can then turn off the electromagnetic commutators, or send a control signal to the processor via the mobile terminal. The processor then turns off the electromagnetic commutators via the remote switch module. During the use of the electromagnetic commutators, the flow velocity analysis and comparison module analyzes and processes the flow velocity. When the detected flow velocity is less than the threshold, it alerts the user, allowing them to understand the blockage situation. Simultaneously, the start-up timing module enables timely processing, allowing the user to track the start-up time, thus achieving a convenient monitoring and warning effect.
