After 3S to 5S, the first electric valve 112 starts and closes; during the liquid replenishment process, if the flow When the volume switch 111 reports a low flow alarm, it means that the liquid in the liquid storage tank is used up, the second electric valve 118 is closed, and the liquid replenishment pump 114 also stops running.
