[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0028] Figure 1 This embodiment provides a water flow control for a water supply device, referring to Figure 1 , applied to water supply equipment, the method may include the following steps:

[0029] Step 101, obtaining a first water receiving state of a water receiving container when a water supply device supplies water to the water receiving container.

[0030] For example, the water supply device can be a water dispenser, a kitchen faucet, or other equipment that can supply water to the water receiving container. The water receiving container can be a water cup, a kettle, or other water receiving containers.

[0031] The first water receiving state includes: no liquid splashes out of the water receiving container, or liquid splashes out of the water receiving container.

[0032] For example, an image of the area where the water receiving container is located can be collected, and an image analysis method can be used to determine whether there is splashing liquid in the image. If there is splashing liquid, it is determined that the first water receiving state of the water receiving container is that liquid splashes out of the water receiving container; if there is no splashing liquid, it is determined that the first water receiving state of the water receiving container is that no liquid splashes out of the water receiving container.

[0033] For example, the weight of the liquid splashing out of the water receiving container may be obtained, and the first water receiving state of the water receiving container may be determined according to the weight of the liquid and a preset weight threshold.

[0034] For example, infrared detection or radar detection can be used to detect whether there is splashing liquid in the area where the water receiving container is located. If there is splashing liquid, the first water receiving state of the water receiving container is determined to be liquid splashing out of the water receiving container; if there is no splashing liquid, the first water receiving state of the water receiving container is determined to be no liquid splashing out of the water receiving container.

[0035] Step 102: if the first water receiving state is that no liquid splashes out of the water receiving container, obtain the duration of the first water receiving state, and when the duration is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, increase the water flow rate of the water supply device.

[0036] For example, a first moment when the water receiving container changes from a first water receiving state in which liquid splashes out of the water receiving container to a first water receiving state in which no liquid splashes out of the water receiving container is obtained, and a second moment when the water receiving container changes from the first water receiving state in which no liquid splashes out of the water receiving container to the first water receiving state in which liquid splashes out of the water receiving container are obtained, and the time difference between the first moment and the second moment is determined as the duration of time that the water receiving container is in the first water receiving state in which no liquid splashes out of the water receiving container.

[0037] For example, the first time threshold may be positively correlated with the number of times the liquid splashes after the water receiving container starts to receive water. Specifically, the more times the liquid splashes after the water receiving container starts to receive water, the greater the first time threshold; the fewer times the liquid splashes after the water receiving container starts to receive water, the smaller the first time threshold.

[0038] For another example, the first time threshold may be negatively correlated with the number of times the water flow rate is adjusted after the water receiving container starts to save water. Specifically, after the water receiving container starts to save water, the more times the water flow rate is adjusted, the larger the first time threshold; after the water receiving container starts to save water, the more times the water flow rate is adjusted, the smaller the first time threshold.

[0039] Furthermore, after increasing the water flow rate of the water supply equipment, the duration of the first water receiving state recorded before the adjustment is reset, and when the water flow rate of the water supply equipment is increased, if the first water receiving state is still a state where no liquid splashes out of the water receiving container, the duration of the first water receiving state is recalculated.

[0040] If the first water receiving state is that liquid splashes out of the water receiving container, the duration of the first water receiving state recorded before adjustment is cleared, and when the subsequent first water receiving state is changed to that no liquid splashes out of the water receiving container, the duration of the first water receiving state is recalculated.

[0041] Step 103: if the first water receiving state is that liquid splashes out of the water receiving container, then the water flow rate of the water supply device is reduced.

[0042] If the first water receiving state is that liquid splashes out of the water receiving container, it means that the current water flow rate is too large. Lowering the water flow rate of the water supply equipment can avoid liquid splashing.

[0043] For example, the method of this embodiment can be applied to scenarios where water needs to be quickly supplied to a water receiving container, or to scenarios where the capacity of the water receiving container is relatively large. For example, in application scenarios where there is a large flow of people such as tourist attractions, the water supply efficiency of the water supply equipment is required to be relatively high. The method of this embodiment can also be applied to application scenarios where water supply equipment can be installed, such as homes and companies.

[0044] In summary, in this embodiment, the first water receiving state of the water receiving container is obtained, and if the first water receiving state is that no liquid splashes out of the water receiving container, the duration of the first water receiving state is obtained, and when the duration is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, the water flow rate of the water supply device is increased, thereby improving the water supply efficiency of the water receiving container. If the first water receiving state is that liquid splashes out of the water receiving container, the water flow rate of the water supply device is reduced, thereby avoiding the situation where liquid splashes out of the container.

[0045] In practical applications, when different water supply containers are used to receive water, different maximum water flow rates can be provided for different water supply containers under the premise of avoiding liquid splashing. For example, under the premise of avoiding liquid splashing, the maximum water flow rate of a water receiving container with a large volume and a large height is usually greater than the maximum water flow rate of a water receiving container with a small volume or a small height. Further, for different water receiving stages of the same water supply container, under the premise of avoiding liquid splashing, the maximum water flow rates provided for water supply containers at different water receiving nodes are also different. For example, under the premise of avoiding liquid splashing, the maximum water flow rate at the beginning of the water receiving stage is usually greater than the maximum water flow rate at the stage of almost filling up the water. According to the actual first water receiving state of the water receiving container, the water flow rate of the water supply equipment is adjusted in time, which can ensure that the water flow rate is increased as much as possible under the premise of avoiding liquid splashing, thereby improving the water supply efficiency of the water supply equipment, and solving the problem that in the related art, in order to ensure that liquid splashing does not occur in most cases, the water flow rate of the water outlet equipment is set to be relatively small, and water is supplied through a small fixed water flow rate, resulting in a long water supply time and low water supply efficiency.

[0046] In addition, when the first water receiving state is that no liquid splashes out of the water receiving container, the duration of the first water receiving state is obtained, and when the duration is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, the water outlet flow rate of the water supply equipment is increased. This is equivalent to increasing the water outlet flow rate when the state without splashing lasts for a long time. This can avoid judging the short state of the liquid splashing gap as no splashing phenomenon, and increasing the water outlet flow rate leads to aggravated splashing phenomenon.

[0047] Figure 2 Another embodiment of a method for controlling the water flow rate of a water supply device is provided, referring to Figure 2 , the method may include the following steps:

[0048] Step 201, obtaining the weight of the liquid splashed from the water receiving container.

[0049] For example, the water supply device is provided with a bearing part for bearing a water receiving container, and the bearing part is provided with a guide groove, or a hole penetrating the bearing part, and when liquid splashes out of the water receiving container, the splashed liquid can flow into the water receiving box through the guide groove or the hole. The weight of the liquid in the water receiving box is collected in real time by a weighing device, and the weight is the weight of the liquid splashed out of the water receiving container.

[0050] For example, the weight of the liquid splashed from the water receiving container within a preset time period is collected, and the weight is determined as the weight of the liquid splashed from the water receiving container.

[0051] Step 202: If the weight is greater than or equal to the preset weight threshold, it is determined that the water receiving container is in a state where liquid splashes out of the water receiving container.

[0052] The preset weight threshold may be set to zero or to another value greater than zero.

[0053] Setting the preset weight to zero ensures that the water flow rate is adjusted immediately when the water receiving container is in a state where liquid splashes out of the water receiving container.

[0054] Setting the preset weight threshold to other values ​​greater than zero can avoid misjudging the weighing error as liquid splashing, thereby improving the accuracy of judging the first water receiving state of the water receiving container.

[0055] Step 203: If the weight is less than the preset weight threshold, it is determined that the water receiving container is in a state where no liquid splashes out of the water receiving container.

[0056] For example, the liquid flowing into the water receiving box for collecting splashing liquid within a preset time period can be collected and the weight of the liquid can be weighed. The length of the preset time period can be set according to user needs.

[0057] For example, if the weight increased by the water receiving box within the preset time period T is greater than or equal to the preset weight threshold M, then the first water receiving state of the water receiving container is determined to be a state in which liquid splashes out of the water receiving container; if the weight increased by the water receiving box within the preset time period T is less than the preset weight threshold M, then the first water receiving state of the water receiving container is determined to be a state in which no liquid splashes out of the water receiving container.

[0058] The method for determining the first water receiving state of the water receiving container provided in this embodiment can accurately determine the first water receiving state of the water receiving container. Further, the method of this embodiment is particularly suitable for situations where the amount of splashing liquid is relatively large.

[0059] Furthermore, when the water outlet flow rate of the water supply equipment is at the adjustable minimum value, the increase in the weight of the liquid in the water receiving box is obtained, and the difference between the increase and the water outlet flow rate is calculated. If the difference is less than or equal to the set threshold, it means that all the injected liquid flows into the water receiving box.

[0060] This situation may be caused by the fact that there is no water receiving container on the carrying part of the water supply equipment. If no water receiving container is placed, all liquid flowing out of the water supply equipment will flow into the water receiving box, causing the increase in liquid weight and the difference in water flow rate to be less than or equal to the set threshold.

[0061] This situation may be caused by a damaged water receiving container leaking. If the water receiving container is damaged and leaking, all the liquid flowing out of the water supply equipment will flow into the water receiving box, causing the difference between the increase in liquid weight and the water flow rate to be less than or equal to the set threshold.

[0062] When the difference between the increase in liquid weight and the water outlet flow rate is less than or equal to the set threshold, water injection is stopped to avoid waste.

[0063] For example, two water receiving boxes for collecting splashing liquid can be set in the water supply equipment, and a water flow channel is set between the two water receiving boxes, and the water flow channel is controlled to be turned off or on by a solenoid valve. If it is recognized that the weight of one of the water receiving boxes exceeds the set threshold, it is determined that the splashing liquid in the water receiving box is about to overflow, and the water flow channel between the two water receiving boxes can be switched by the solenoid valve to guide the splashing or overflowing liquid into the other water receiving box, and the type of splashing liquid is obtained according to the weighing result of the other water receiving box, and the waste water in the water receiving box that is about to overflow is discharged, waiting for the next use.

[0064] Step 204: if the first water receiving state is that no liquid splashes out of the water receiving container, obtain the duration of the first water receiving state, and when the duration is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, increase the water supply level of the water supply device.

[0065] For example, the water supply level of the water supply device can be increased according to the preset water supply level adjustment threshold. For example, the preset water supply level adjustment threshold can be one level, and when there is no liquid splashing out of the water receiving container in the first water receiving state, the duration of the first water receiving state is obtained, and when the duration is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, the current water supply level of the water supply device is increased by one level.

[0066] For example, the first time threshold may be positively correlated with the number of times the liquid splashes after the water receiving container starts to receive water. For another example, the first time threshold may be negatively correlated with the number of times the water flow rate is adjusted after the water receiving container starts to save water.

[0067] Furthermore, after the water flow rate of the water supply device is increased, the duration of the first water receiving state recorded before the adjustment is cleared, and when the water flow rate of the water supply device is increased, if the first water receiving state is still a state where no liquid splashes out of the water receiving container, the duration of the first water receiving state is recalculated. In addition, if the first water receiving state is a state where liquid splashes out of the water receiving container, the duration of the first water receiving state recorded before the adjustment is cleared, and when the subsequent first water receiving state is changed to a state where no liquid splashes out of the water receiving container, the duration of the first water receiving state is recalculated.

[0068] Among them, the water supply gear is positively correlated with the water outlet flow rate. If the first water receiving state is that no liquid splashes out of the water receiving container, the duration of the first water receiving state is obtained, and when the duration is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, the water supply gear of the water supply equipment is increased, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing the water outlet flow rate of the water supply equipment.

[0069] Step 205: if the first water receiving state is that liquid splashes out of the water receiving container, then lower the water supply level of the water supply device.

[0070] The water supply level and the water flow rate are positively correlated. Therefore, when the water supply level is lowered, the water flow rate of the water supply equipment can be lowered.

[0071] For example, the water supply level of the water supply device can be lowered according to the preset water supply level adjustment threshold. For example, the preset water supply level adjustment threshold can be one level, and when liquid splashes out of the water receiving container in the first water receiving state, the current water supply level of the water supply device is lowered by one level.

[0072] In this embodiment, by obtaining the weight of the liquid splashing out of the water receiving container, according to the weight of the liquid, it can be accurately and quickly determined whether the water receiving container is in a state where the liquid splashes out of the water receiving container. When the water receiving container is in a state where the liquid splashes out of the water receiving container, the water supply gear of the water supply device can be gradually reduced to gradually reduce the water supply of the water supply device. When it is determined that the water supply device is in a state where no liquid splashes out of the water receiving container for a long time, the water supply gear of the water supply device can be gradually increased to gradually increase the water supply of the water supply device. According to the method of this embodiment, the water outlet flow rate of the water supply device can be dynamically adjusted according to different containers to achieve the effect of filling water as quickly as possible to reduce the time used for water collection. It solves the problem that in the related art, in order to ensure that liquid splashing does not occur in most cases, the water outlet flow rate of the water outlet device is set to be relatively small, and water is supplied through a small fixed water outlet flow rate, resulting in a long water supply time and low water supply efficiency. When there is no liquid splashing out of the water receiving container in the first water receiving state and the duration of the first water receiving state is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, increasing the water outlet flow rate of the water supply equipment is equivalent to increasing the water outlet flow rate when the state without splashing lasts for a long time. This can avoid judging the short state of the liquid splashing gap as no splashing phenomenon, and increasing the water outlet flow rate leads to aggravated splashing phenomenon.

[0073] For example, the method of detecting the water receiving state of the water receiving container when the water supply device supplies water to the water receiving container according to the current water flow rate in steps 201 to 203 can be implemented by the following steps:

[0074] Step 206, collecting an image of the area where the water receiving container is located.

[0075] For example, an image of the area where the water receiving container is located may be captured by camera, and whether there are splashing droplets in the image may be detected, and whether the water receiving container is in a splashing state may be determined based on the detection result.

[0076] At the current water outlet flow rate, if splashing droplets are detected in the image, it is considered that the water receiving container is in a splashing state at this time. It should be noted that each time the water outlet flow rate is switched, the judgment result that the water receiving container is in a splashing state will be clear, and in the subsequent water receiving process, the first water receiving state of the water receiving container will be re-judged. That is, the camera is used to capture and the captured image is processed to determine whether there is liquid suspended in the air. If liquid is detected to be suspended in the air, it is considered that the water receiving container is in a liquid splashing state. For example, the camera can be a high-sensitivity camera, and a small amount of liquid splashing can be detected by the high-sensitivity camera.

[0077] For example, infrared waves or electromagnetic waves can be emitted to detect and analyze the reflected signals, and it can be determined whether there is liquid suspended in the air according to the detection results. If there is, it is determined that the water receiving container is in a liquid splashing state.

[0078] Step 207: input the image into a trained liquid splash recognition model to obtain an output result of the liquid splash recognition model.

[0079] The output results include the presence of splashing liquid in the image, or the absence of splashing liquid.

[0080] Image samples can be obtained by photographing the area where the water receiving container is located during the water receiving process. By manual recognition, it is determined whether there is an image of splashing liquid in each image sample, and the judgment result of whether there is an image of splashing liquid in the image sample is used as a label. Then, the image samples and labels are used to train an image recognition model to obtain a trained liquid splash recognition model.

[0081] For example, the image recognition model may be a target detection model (You Only Look Once, YOLO) or other image recognition models.

[0082] It should be noted that the water receiving container used when collecting image samples may be different from the water receiving container in actual applications, or may be the same as the water receiving container in actual applications.

[0083] Step 208: Determine a first water receiving state of the water receiving container according to the output result.

[0084] If the output result is that there is splashing liquid in the image, the first water receiving state of the water receiving container is determined to be a state in which liquid splashes out of the water receiving container; if the output result is that there is no splashing liquid, the first water receiving state of the water receiving container is determined to be a state in which no liquid splashes out of the water receiving container.

[0085] It should be noted that the first water receiving state can be detected by only the method shown in step 201 to step 203, or by only the method shown in step 206 to step 208. The above two detection methods are also used at the same time. When the two methods are used for detection, as long as any one of the methods detects liquid splashing, it is considered that the water receiving container is in the liquid splashing state.

[0086] In one embodiment, before step 201, the following steps may also be included:

[0087] Step 209: before the water supply device starts to perform the water supply operation, obtain the container capacity of the water receiving container.

[0088] For example, in response to a user inputting the capacity of the water receiving container in the water supply device, the container capacity of the water receiving container is acquired.

[0089] For example, the water supply device is provided with a control panel or digital keys for the user to input the capacity of the water receiving container, and the container capacity of the water receiving container is obtained in response to the user's operation on the control panel or the digital keys.

[0090] Step 210, according to the container capacity and the corresponding relationship between the preset container capacity and the preset water outlet flow rate, obtain the preset water outlet flow rate corresponding to the container capacity.

[0091] For example, a group of water receiving containers with different container capacities are obtained, and for each water receiving container, a maximum water outflow rate that can supply water to the water receiving container without liquid splashing is obtained.

[0092] According to different container capacities and the maximum water outflow rate of the water receiving container corresponding to each container capacity, a corresponding relationship between the preset container capacity and the preset water outflow rate is established.

[0093] Step 211, starting to supply water to the water receiving container according to a preset water outlet flow rate corresponding to the container capacity.

[0094] For example, the preset water flow rate of this step is equivalent to the default water flow rate of the water supply device for the water receiving container of the container capacity. In the case where the water supply device supplies water through a water supply pump, the preset water flow rate is the default water supply pump flow rate of the water supply pump in the water supply device.

[0095] For example, the container capacity of the most used water receiving container can also be collected to obtain the maximum water outlet flow rate that can supply water to the water receiving container without liquid splashing, and it can be determined as the default water outlet flow rate used when starting to supply water to the water receiving container.

[0096] For example, based on the container capacity of the water receiving container and the correspondence between the preset container capacity and the preset water outlet flow rate, the preset water outlet flow rate corresponding to the container capacity is obtained, and water supply to the water receiving container is started according to the preset water outlet flow rate corresponding to the container capacity, thereby ensuring that a water outlet flow rate suitable for supplying water to the water receiving container is quickly obtained.

[0097] In one embodiment, the water flow control method of the water supply equipment may further include the following steps:

[0098] Step 212: for each water outlet supply gear of the water supply equipment, obtain the actual water outlet flow rate when the water supply equipment supplies water according to the water outlet supply gear.

[0099] The actual water flow rate is equal to the ratio of the water output within a preset time period to the preset time period when the water supply equipment supplies water according to the water supply gear.

[0100] For example, the water supply equipment is adjusted to a corresponding water supply gear, and the water supply equipment is made to continuously supply water at the water supply gear. When the water supply time reaches a preset time, the water output of the water supply equipment is obtained by weighing.

[0101] Step 213: If the difference between the actual outflow flow rate and the expected outflow flow rate is greater than or equal to the outflow flow rate threshold, the actual outflow flow rate is adjusted until the difference between the actual outflow flow rate and the expected outflow flow rate is less than the outflow flow rate threshold.

[0102] Through the method of this implementation, the water outlet flow rate of the water injection equipment can be calibrated and updated.

[0103] Furthermore, a water supply pump is provided in the water supply equipment, and water supply is realized by the water supply pump. The water supply equipment has multiple different water supply gears. Different water supply gears correspond to different signals of the water supply pump. By detecting the change in liquid weight in the water receiving box under different water supply pump signals, the water outlet flow rate of the water supply pump can be calibrated and updated.

[0104] For example, a water supply pump for water supply is provided in the water supply equipment, and the water supply pump has three water supply gears, and each water supply gear has a corresponding water supply pump signal. For the convenience of description, in this embodiment, the three water supply gear water supply pump signals are marked as A, B, and C, respectively, and different water supply pump signals correspond to different water supply pump flows.

[0105] After entering the flow calibration mode, turn off the water supply pump, wait until the weight fluctuation of the liquid in the water box is small, and when the weight of the liquid in the water box is in a stable state, record the weight Q1 of the liquid in the water box.

[0106] Switch the water supply pump signal to signal A and maintain it for N time, then turn off the water supply pump. Wait until the weight of the liquid in the water receiving box no longer changes, the weight of the liquid in the water receiving box fluctuates slightly, and the weight of the liquid in the water receiving box is stable, then record the weight of the liquid in the water receiving box Q2.

[0107] Switch the water supply pump signal to signal B and maintain it for N time, then turn off the water supply pump. Wait until the liquid weight in the water receiving box fluctuates less and is stable, then record the liquid weight Q3 in the water receiving box.

[0108] Switch the water supply pump signal to signal C and maintain it for N, then turn off the water supply pump. Wait until the liquid weight in the water receiving box fluctuates less and is stable, then record the liquid weight Q4 in the water receiving box.

[0109] According to the above collected data, the actual flow rates of the water supply pumps corresponding to the water supply pump signals A, B, and C are (Q2-Q1) / N, (Q3-Q2) / N, and (Q4-Q3) / N, respectively. The actual flow rate of the water supply pump is the actual water outflow rate of the water supply equipment.

[0110] It should be noted that the water supply equipment may have more than three water supply gears, and the corresponding water supply pump signals may also have more than three types. This embodiment only exemplifies the water supply gears and water supply pump signals, and does not limit the number of water supply gears and the types of water supply pump signals.

[0111] Figure 3 This is another method for controlling the water flow rate of a water supply device provided in an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 3 , the method may include the following steps:

[0112] Step S1, in response to a user's selection operation, obtaining a water injection mode.

[0113] Specifically, the water supply device is provided with a button or a control panel for the user to select the water injection mode, and the water injection mode is acquired in response to the selection operation performed by the user through the button or the control panel.

[0114] Specifically, a fast water filling mode suitable for large-capacity containers that can be selected by the user can be set in the water supply device, and the user can be prompted to adapt to the scenario of the fast water filling mode. For example, the container is required to be free of foreign matter, and the height and capacity of the container are recommended.

[0115] Step S2, determine whether the water injection mode is the fast water injection mode; if yes, proceed to step S4, otherwise proceed to step S3.

[0116] It is determined whether the water injection mode selected by the user is the fast water injection mode, and the water supply mode of the water supply equipment is controlled according to the determination result, so as to ensure that the water supply mode is a water supply mode that meets the user's needs.

[0117] For example, Figure 4 The diagram shows a water injection mode selection interface diagram of a water supply device provided in an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 4 ,The water injection mode selection interface includes two controls, which are used to select the normal water injection mode and the fast water injection mode.

[0118] In response to a user clicking operation on a normal water filling mode control, the water filling mode is determined to be a normal water filling mode. In response to a user clicking operation on a fast water filling mode control, the water filling mode is determined to be a fast water filling mode.

[0119] Step S3, entering normal water injection mode.

[0120] In the normal water filling mode, the water supply device supplies water to the water receiving container through a preset smaller water flow rate.

[0121] Step S4, entering the fast water filling mode.

[0122] In the water filling mode, the water supply device adjusts the water flow rate of the water supply device as high as possible while avoiding liquid splashing, so as to ensure that water is supplied to the water receiving container as quickly as possible.

[0123] Step S5, obtaining the initial water supply pump flow rate, and injecting water according to the initial water supply pump flow rate.

[0124] In the fast water filling mode, the initial water supply pump flow obtained is equivalent to the preset water outlet flow corresponding to the container capacity in the aforementioned embodiment, and the preset water outlet flow corresponding to the container capacity is the default water supply pump flow of the water supply equipment.

[0125] Step S6, performing liquid splashing detection.

[0126] Specifically, the liquid splashing phenomenon of the water receiving container can be detected by the method of the aforementioned steps 201 to 203, or the method of steps 206 to 208, or by both the method of steps 201 to 203 and the method of steps 206 to 208.

[0127] Step S7, determining whether liquid splashing is detected within a preset time period; if yes, proceeding to step S8, otherwise proceeding to step S9.

[0128] The preset time period t is equivalent to the first time threshold in the above-mentioned embodiment. The preset time period t can be set as a parameter that changes with the water receiving state of the water receiving container.

[0129] For example, the number of times the liquid splashing occurs in the water receiving container during the historical period from the beginning of water receiving to the current moment may be counted, and as the number of times increases, the preset time period t is increased.

[0130] For another example, the number of changes in the flow gradient of the water supply pump during the historical period from the start of water collection to the current moment in the water collection container may be counted, and as the number of changes increases, the preset time period t may be reduced.

[0131] Specifically, when adjusting the preset time period t, the size of the time period increased or decreased each time can be obtained according to experimental tests, and can also be set according to user needs.

[0132] Step S8, reduce the water flow rate of the water supply pump and return to step S6.

[0133] For example, the water supply gear of the water supply pump is lowered to reduce the water output flow of the water supply pump.

[0134] Step S9, increase the water flow rate of the water supply pump, and return to step S6.

[0135] For example, the water supply gear of the water supply pump is increased to increase the water output flow of the water supply pump.

[0155] Optionally, the device 30 further includes:

[0156] The third acquisition module is used to obtain, for each water supply gear of the water supply equipment, the actual water flow rate of the water supply equipment when supplying water according to the water supply gear; the actual water flow rate is equal to the ratio of the water flow rate within a preset time length to the preset time length when the water supply equipment supplies water according to the water supply gear;

[0157] The third regulating module is used to regulate the actual water outflow flow if the difference between the actual water outflow flow and the expected water outflow flow is greater than or equal to the water outflow flow threshold, until the difference between the actual water outflow flow and the expected water outflow flow is less than the water outflow flow threshold.

[0161] The water supply module is used to start supplying water to the water receiving container according to a preset water flow rate corresponding to the container capacity.

[0162] In this embodiment, the first water receiving state of the water receiving container is obtained. If the first water receiving state is that no liquid splashes out of the water receiving container, the duration of the first water receiving state is obtained, and when the duration is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, the water flow rate of the water supply device is increased, thereby improving the water supply efficiency of the water receiving container. If the first water receiving state is that liquid splashes out of the water receiving container, the water flow rate of the water supply device is reduced, thereby avoiding the situation where liquid splashes out of the container. According to the actual first water receiving state of the water receiving container, the water flow rate of the water supply device is adjusted in time, which can ensure that the water flow rate is increased as much as possible while avoiding liquid splashing, thereby improving the water supply efficiency of the water supply device.
