[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water receiving pans, and in particular to a drainage control method, device, medium and terminal equipment. Background Art

[0002] Current devices using drain pans (such as air conditioners and refrigerators) generally activate a drain pump immediately when condensate accumulates in the pan. However, because the rate at which the pan drains is typically greater than the rate at which condensate is generated, the water level in the pan remains low and stable for extended periods. This makes it difficult for dust and microorganisms accumulated above the water level to be effectively flushed away by the water, creating a stable environment suitable for microbial survival. This not only accelerates microbial growth but also easily leads to pipe blockages. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to provide drainage control methods, devices, media and terminal equipment to solve the problem of drainage of existing water collection trays. The water level in the water collection tray is in a low and stable state for a long time, and a stable environment suitable for the survival of microorganisms is easily formed above the water level line, which can easily cause pipe blockage.

[0022] In some embodiments of the present application, the method further includes:

[0023] When a shutdown signal is received, the water receiving tray is controlled to drain water until the water receiving tray is in an empty state, and then the water receiving tray is controlled to stop draining water.

[0037] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] The terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification and claims of this application and the accompanying drawings are used to distinguish between different objects, not to describe a particular order. Furthermore, the terms "including," "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus comprising a series of steps or elements is not limited to the listed steps or elements but may optionally include steps or elements not listed, or may optionally include other steps or elements inherent to the process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0039] References herein to "embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0040] Current devices using drain pans (such as air conditioners and refrigerators) generally activate a drain pump immediately when condensate accumulates in the pan. However, because the rate at which the pan drains is typically greater than the rate at which condensate is generated, the water level in the pan remains low and stable for extended periods. This makes it difficult for dust and microorganisms accumulated above the water level to be effectively flushed away by the water, creating a stable environment suitable for microbial survival. This not only accelerates microbial growth but also easily leads to pipe blockages.

[0041] For the above questions, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of a drainage control method according to the first embodiment of the present application is provided. Although a logical sequence is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than that shown in the drawings.

[0042] Optionally, the drainage control provided in the first embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 2 The drain pan includes a water immersion rope 11 and a drainage pump 12. The drain pan has a concave structure in the middle, and two gentle slopes extend from the bottom to the edges of the water receiving pan 10 on both sides. This makes it easier for condensed water to gather in the middle concave area, ensuring drainage efficiency. Furthermore, the water immersion rope 11 is arranged in a broken line along the slope from the lowest point of the water receiving pan 10 to the edge of the water receiving pan 10. The water immersion rope 11 can be Figure 2 The two folds shown are also possible, and are not specifically limited here. Meanwhile, the water rope 11 is connected to a controller, which senses water level changes and monitors the water level parameters within the water tray 10 in real time. Furthermore, the water inlet of the drainage pump 12 is located at the lowest point of the depression in the center of the water tray 10. The controller starts and stops the pump based on the detected water level parameters, achieving automatic drainage.

[0043] It is understandable that the drain pan used in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned structure. For example, the water receiving pan may adopt an annular groove structure, and of course it may also be other concave shapes. Alternatively, a high-precision pressure sensor is installed at the bottom of the low-lying area of the water receiving pan. The sensor senses the change in water pressure and then performs conversion calculations to obtain accurate water level line parameters. Alternatively, the drainage system adopts an electronic valve control device, which is installed at the drain outlet in the low-lying area of the water receiving pan. The electronic valve automatically opens and closes according to the water level. When the water level reaches the set threshold, the electronic valve opens and triggers drainage; when the water level drops to a safe range, the electronic valve closes and stops drainage. Of course, other structures can also be used, and are not specifically limited here.

[0044] Specifically, the specific process of the drainage control method provided in the first embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0045] S101, obtaining water level parameters of condensed water in the water receiving tray.

[0046] The water level parameter is a parameter used to reflect the height of the water level in the water receiving tray. It is understood that the water level parameter includes but is not limited to the pressure, volume, volume ratio, liquid level, height ratio, etc. of the condensed water in the water receiving tray.

[0047] Optionally, the water level parameter is the condensate level. The water-immersion cord is connected to a controller, which applies a constant voltage and measures the resistance of the water-immersion cord. The resistance decreases as the condensate level submerges the cord. The controller calculates the current water level based on a pre-set calibration curve comparing resistance and water level.

[0048] Alternatively, the water level parameter may be the volume of condensed water. After calculating the current liquid level, a spatially resolved calculation is performed based on the geometric structural characteristics of the water tray, such as the contour shape, slope angle, and edge height of the bottom recessed area, combined with the liquid level, to further infer the actual volume of condensed water in the water tray. This step may also be used to obtain other water level parameters or other acquisition methods, and is not specifically limited here.

[0049] It is understandable that because the generation rate of condensed water is usually slow, premature drainage may cause the water level in the water receiving tray to be too low, affecting the flushing effect of the high water level line part in the water receiving tray. Therefore, this embodiment sets the water receiving tray to not drain by default, thereby depositing the condensed water.

[0050] S102: During the process of condensed water being deposited in the water receiving tray, it is determined whether the water level parameter satisfies the high water level state. If the water level parameter satisfies the high water level state, S103 is executed.

[0051] The high water level state refers to a state where the water level of the condensed water in the water receiving tray is high (for example, reaches or exceeds a preset threshold value), and drainage needs to be started to prevent overflow.

[0052] Alternatively, the method of "determining whether the water level parameter satisfies the high water level state" may be to compare the water level parameter with a threshold value. If the water level parameter reaches or exceeds the corresponding parameter threshold value, it is determined that the high water level state is satisfied. Alternatively, for a water receiving tray having a middle concave structure and an inner cavity having a wide upper and narrow lower characteristic (e.g. Figure 2 The structure shown in the figure) can be further judged based on the changing trend of the water level parameters. Specifically, the growth rate of the condensate liquid level can be monitored in real time, and the rate can be compared with the preset change rate threshold; if the change rate is less than the change rate threshold, it means that although the condensate continues to deposit, the rising trend of the water level has slowed down, indicating that it is close to the top of the depressed area. At this time, it can also be determined that the high water level state is met and drainage needs to be started in time. Of course, the method of judging the high water level state is not limited to the above method, and can also be judged based on other algorithms such as water level historical trends and environmental humidity correlation modeling, which are not specifically limited here.

[0053] S103, controlling the water receiving tray to drain water until the water receiving tray is in an empty state, and then controlling the water receiving tray to stop draining water.

[0054] The empty state refers to a state in which the condensed water in the water receiving tray is empty or below a preset minimum water level threshold.

[0055] Optionally, when it is determined in step S102 that the water level parameter reaches the high water level state, the controller triggers the drain pump provided at the bottom of the water receiving tray to start running. During the drainage process, the water level detection element (such as a water immersion rope or a pressure sensor) continuously monitors the condensed water level in real time, and the controller determines whether the drainage has reached the emptying state based on the collected water level information. When it is detected that the current liquid level is 0 or has dropped below the minimum water level threshold, the controller determines that the water receiving tray is in the emptying state, and then turns off the drain pump to stop the drainage operation. At this time, the water receiving tray continues to deposit the condensed water, thereby once again destroying the living conditions of microorganisms in the high water level environment. Furthermore, in order to avoid misjudgment caused by short-term fluctuations in condensed water or external interference, a delayed judgment mechanism can be set. For example, after detecting that the water level is lower than the emptying threshold for the first time, a set period of time (such as 1 minute) is continuously observed. Only when the water level continues to be stably lower than the threshold, the water receiving tray is finally confirmed to have entered the emptying state.

[0056] In the above embodiment, the water pan does not drain by default. Instead, the water level parameters of the condensed water in the pan are acquired in real time. Drainage is initiated immediately when the water level reaches the high water mark, and continues until the pan is empty, allowing condensed water to continue to accumulate. This solution rapidly switches the water level in the pan between the high water mark and the empty state, disrupting the stable living conditions of microorganisms in a high water level environment. This significantly inhibits microbial growth in this area and reduces the risk of pipe blockage.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the water level line parameters include the volume of condensed water, and the step of determining whether the water level line parameters meet the high water level line state in S102 specifically includes: obtaining the water receiving tray volume of the water receiving tray, and calculating the volume ratio between the condensed water volume and the water receiving tray volume; if the volume ratio is greater than the upper limit of the volume ratio, it is determined that the water level line parameters meet the high water level line state.

[0058] The drain pan capacity refers to the maximum volume of condensate the drain pan can hold at the designed maximum water level. Methods for obtaining this volume parameter include, but are not limited to: first, consulting the drain pan product specifications and directly reading the manufacturer's data; second, conducting experiments, such as adding a fixed amount of water to the drain pan and measuring the liquid level to calculate the actual volume.

[0059] Furthermore, assuming the condensate volume is V2 and the drain pan volume is V1, the volume ratio of the two can be used for judgment. When this ratio exceeds a preset threshold (e.g., 98%), it means that the condensate is close to overflowing, and the water level parameters are determined to meet the high water level state, and the subsequent drainage operation is immediately initiated.

[0060] The above embodiment uses the volume ratio as the criterion for determining the high water level state, thereby achieving universal adaptation to water trays of different sizes and improving the applicability and flexibility of the method.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, the water level line parameters include the water level line height, and the step of determining whether the water level line parameters meet the high water level line state in S102 specifically includes: obtaining the upper limit of the water level line of the water receiving tray, and calculating the height ratio between the water level line height and the upper limit of the water level line; if the height ratio is greater than the upper limit of the height ratio, it is determined that the water level line parameters meet the high water level line state.

[0062] The upper limit of the water level refers to the maximum water level allowed by the design of the drain pan. Methods for determining the upper limit of the water level include, but are not limited to: 1. Directly referencing the structural design parameters provided by the manufacturer in the product specification sheet; 2. Determining the upper limit of the water level by quantitatively filling the water under laboratory conditions and recording the water level just before the liquid overflows.

[0063] Furthermore, assuming the current water level is h2 and the upper limit is h1, the height ratio h2 / h1 can be calculated. When this ratio is greater than the upper limit (e.g., 98%), it indicates that the current condensate level is very close to the maximum load capacity of the drain pan, and the water level parameters are determined to meet the high water level state, and the subsequent drainage operation is immediately initiated.

[0064] The above embodiment uses the height ratio as the criterion for determining the high water level state, thereby achieving universal adaptation to water trays of different sizes and improving the applicability and flexibility of the method.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, the water level line parameter satisfies the high water level line state when it is greater than the parameter threshold. After S101 obtains the water level line parameter of the condensed water in the water receiving tray, it also includes: obtaining the drainage rate of the water receiving tray, and the sedimentation rate of the condensed water in the water receiving tray; calculating the rate ratio between the sedimentation rate and the drainage rate, and adjusting the parameter threshold according to the size of the rate ratio; wherein the size of the rate ratio is inversely correlated with the parameter threshold.

[0066] Among them, the water level parameter threshold refers to the limit reference value used to determine whether it is in a high water level state. For example, if the water level parameter is the volume ratio between the volume of condensed water and the volume of the water tray, the parameter threshold is the upper limit of the volume ratio; or, if the water level parameter is the height ratio between the water level height and its design upper limit, the parameter threshold is the upper limit of the height ratio. The drainage rate S1 refers to the speed at which the condensed water in the water tray is discharged to the external drainage system through a drainage device (such as a drainage pump or an electronic valve). The sedimentation rate S2 refers to the speed at which condensed water accumulates in the water tray during the operation of the air conditioner.

[0067] Optionally, the drainage rate of the water receiving tray and the deposition rate of the condensate in the water receiving tray can be obtained in advance by the following method, including: when the device (such as an air conditioner) is operating normally, for example, in the cooling mode stage, first turn off the drainage function and record the rising rate of the water level line per unit time; combined with the structural characteristics of the water receiving tray (such as the mapping relationship between the geometric area and the height), convert it into the growth rate of the condensate volume, and then the deposition rate can be obtained. Then, when the drainage pump is in the on state, continuously collect the data of the water level drop, and combined with the geometric structure at the bottom of the water receiving tray, calculate the volume change corresponding to the water level drop per unit time, so as to obtain the drainage rate.

[0068] Optionally, if the volume ratio V2 / V1 between the condensate volume V2 and the volume V1 of the water receiving tray is used as the water level line parameter, the parameter threshold T1 can be adjusted linearly according to the rate ratio α = S2 / S1. For example, the linear adjustment formula is set as T1 = V1×(1 - k×α), where k is the adjustment coefficient (such as k = 1). Then, when α = 5%, T1 = 0.95V1; when α = 10%, T1 = 0.90V1; when α = 20%, T1 = 0.80V1. If the actual condensate volume V2 reaches or exceeds T1, the drainage action is triggered, and the current time is recorded after the drainage is completed for subsequent drainage interval management.

[0069] Alternatively, a stepped adjustment method can also be adopted to cope with the water accumulation risk under different rate ratios. For example: when 1%S1 < S2 ≤ 5%S1 and V2 ≥ 90%V1, start drainage immediately; when 5%S1 < S2 ≤ 15%S1 and V2 ≥ 85%V1, start drainage immediately; when 15%S1 < S2 ≤ 20%S1 and V2 ≥ 80%V1, the drainage pump is also triggered to operate. This method has a more intuitive control boundary, which is convenient for setting and debugging in engineering applications. Of course, the coefficients in the above examples can be set according to requirements and are not specifically limited here.

[0070] It can be understood that as the deposition rate of the condensate increases, the rising speed of the water accumulation accelerates, and the water accumulation risk随之提升. If a fixed threshold is still used for judgment, it may not be able to respond to the rapid change of the water level in time, resulting in the risk of water overflow. By introducing the rate ratio in the above embodiments, a dynamic coupling mechanism between the water level line parameter threshold and the condensate deposition rate is constructed, which can not only effectively avoid the premature discharge of the condensate, ensure that the dust and microorganisms in the area above the water level line can be washed away by the water flow, and inhibit the growth of microorganisms, but also timely respond to the drainage urgency brought by the high deposition rate, taking into account both the cleanliness and the drainage efficiency.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned drainage control method can also perform the following steps: obtain the drainage rate of the water receiving tray and the sedimentation rate of the condensed water in the water receiving tray; calculate the rate ratio between the sedimentation rate and the drainage rate, and if the rate ratio is greater than the upper limit of the rate ratio, control the water receiving tray to drain.

[0072] The rate ratio upper limit refers to the maximum acceptable rate ratio threshold set by the system. The threshold can be set to a fixed value (such as 20%) or dynamically adjusted according to factors such as device operating conditions and environmental conditions.

[0073] Optionally, after the system detects that the rate ratio exceeds the upper limit of the rate ratio, it determines that the current risk of condensate accumulation is high, and immediately controls the drain pump to start and continue draining until the condensate level drops to a safe range. After the drainage is completed, the system automatically resets and continues to monitor the water level and rate parameters of the condensate in real time to ensure the timeliness and continuity of the drainage action. Alternatively, the system can also collect historical deposition rate data over multiple time periods, and analyze whether the condensate deposition rate shows a continuous and significant upward trend by comparing the deposition rate change trends of adjacent time periods. When the system determines that the condensate deposition rate is in a rapid growth stage and the current rate ratio is close to or reaches the set threshold, it can be predicted that the current drainage capacity will be difficult to meet the drainage needs, and the drain pump will be started in advance for active drainage. This pre-response mechanism is particularly suitable for responding to sudden high-humidity working conditions or sudden changes in the environment to avoid equipment overflow or microbial growth problems caused by delayed drainage.

[0074] It is understandable that the rate of condensate generation is affected by a variety of external environmental factors, including temperature and humidity changes, equipment operating status (such as startup, shutdown, load changes), and airflow rate, and these factors often change rapidly and are difficult to predict. If the drainage control strategy is simply based on a fixed water level threshold, it is easy to cause drainage hysteresis or frequent ineffective start and stop, which not only wastes energy but also affects equipment stability. Therefore, the above embodiment combines the dynamic ratio of deposition rate to drainage rate, and realizes intelligent adjustment of drainage strategy through real-time dynamic decision-making.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned drainage control method can also perform the following steps: obtain the historical emptying time when the water receiving tray was last in an empty state; if the time between the current time and the historical emptying time is greater than the time threshold, the water receiving tray is controlled to drain until the water receiving tray is in an empty state, and then the water receiving tray is controlled to stop draining.

[0076] The duration threshold is defined as the maximum time interval allowed between two consecutive draining states, as determined by the system. It primarily limits the maximum duration of non-drainage, preventing condensate from accumulating in the drain pan for extended periods. This is particularly true in low-humidity environments or during intermittent operation, where delayed drainage can lead to bacterial growth and odor. The duration threshold can be set to a fixed value (e.g., 6 hours) based on experience, or it can be dynamically adjusted based on factors such as drain pan size, operating environment, and equipment load, making the drainage strategy more flexible and adaptable.

[0077] Optionally, to further improve system efficiency and avoid unnecessary energy consumption, the drain pump can be activated only when the interval between the current time and the previous emptying time exceeds a threshold and a detectable water level exists in the drain pan. If there is no condensate in the drain pan (i.e., the water level is below the detection limit or completely dry), the drain command is skipped, preventing the drain pump from idling, saving energy, and extending the life of the device.

[0078] The above embodiment introduces a historical emptying time threshold judgment mechanism to effectively avoid the risk of long-term retention of condensed water in low humidity or intermittent operation scenarios.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present application, the drainage control method may further perform the following steps: when a shutdown signal is received, the water receiving tray is controlled to drain water until the water receiving tray is empty, and then the water receiving tray is controlled to stop draining water.

[0080] It's understandable that the above embodiment performs the drain operation when the device is shut down because the shutdown state typically indicates that the device will be inactive for an extended period or experience a power outage. If condensed water remains in the drain pan during this period, it can easily lead to water contamination and microbial growth. Therefore, removing the remaining condensed water from the drain pan before shutting down the device prevents microbial growth and odor issues during extended downtime.

[0081] To facilitate better implementation of the drainage control method of this application, this application also provides a drainage control device based on the drainage control method. The meanings of the terms are the same as those in the drainage control method, and the specific implementation details can be referred to the description in the method embodiment.

[0082] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the drainage control device provided in an embodiment of the present application, which may specifically include:

[0083] The water level parameter acquisition module 301 is used to obtain the water level parameter of the condensed water in the water receiving tray; wherein the water level parameter is a parameter used to reflect the height of the water level in the water receiving tray. The water receiving tray does not drain by default;

[0084] The drainage control module 302 is used to control the water receiving pan to drain water when the condensed water is deposited in the water receiving pan, if the water level parameter meets the high water level state, until the water receiving pan is in an empty state, and then control the water receiving pan to stop draining water.

[0085] In the above embodiment, the water pan is not drained by default. The water level parameter acquisition module 301 is used to first obtain the water level parameters of the condensed water in the water pan in real time. The drainage control module 302 is used to quickly start drainage when the water level in the water pan reaches the high water level state, and stop drainage until the water pan reaches the empty state, thereby continuing to deposit condensed water. This solution allows the water level in the water pan to quickly switch between the high water level state and the empty state, disrupting the stable living conditions of microorganisms in a high water level environment, thereby significantly inhibiting microbial reproduction in this area and reducing the risk of pipe blockage.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, the water level line parameters include the volume of condensed water. After obtaining the water level line parameters of the condensed water in the water tray, it also includes: obtaining the water tray volume of the water tray, and calculating the volume ratio between the condensed water volume and the water tray volume; if the volume ratio is greater than the upper limit of the volume ratio, it is determined that the water level line parameters meet the high water level line state.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present application, the water level line parameters include the water level line height. After obtaining the water level line parameters of the condensed water in the water receiving tray, it also includes: obtaining the water level line upper limit of the water receiving tray, and calculating the height ratio between the water level line height and the water level line upper limit; if the height ratio is greater than the height ratio upper limit, it is determined that the water level line parameters meet the high water level line state.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present application, the water level line parameter satisfies the high water level line state when it is greater than the parameter threshold. After obtaining the water level line parameter of the condensed water in the water receiving tray, it also includes: obtaining the drainage rate of the water receiving tray and the sedimentation rate of the condensed water in the water receiving tray; calculating the rate ratio between the sedimentation rate and the drainage rate, and adjusting the parameter threshold according to the size of the rate ratio; wherein the size of the rate ratio is inversely correlated with the parameter threshold.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present application, the method further includes: obtaining the drainage rate of the water receiving tray and the sedimentation rate of condensed water in the water receiving tray; calculating the rate ratio between the sedimentation rate and the drainage rate, and if the rate ratio is greater than the upper limit of the rate ratio, controlling the water receiving tray to drain.

[0094] in:

[0095] Processor 401 is the control center of the terminal device. It connects the various components of the entire terminal device using various interfaces and lines.

Optionally, processor 401 may include one or more processing cores. Preferably, processor 401 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor. The application processor primarily processes the operating system, user interface, and application programs, while the modem processor primarily handles wireless communications. It is understood that the modem processor may not be integrated into processor 401.

[0096] Memory 402 can be used to store software programs and modules. Processor 401 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the software programs and modules stored in memory 402. Memory 402 may primarily include a program storage area and a data storage area.

In addition, memory 402 may include high-speed random access memory and non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage device. Accordingly, memory 402 may also include a memory controller to provide processor 401 with access to memory 402.

[0097] The terminal device also includes a power supply 403 for supplying power to various components. Preferably, the power supply 403 can be logically connected to the processor 401 via a power management system, thereby enabling the power management system to manage charging, discharging, and power consumption.

[0099] Although not shown, the terminal device may further include a display unit, etc., which will not be described in detail here. Specifically, in this embodiment, the processor 401 in the terminal device will load the executable files corresponding to the processes of one or more application programs into the memory 402 according to the following instructions, and the processor 401 will run the application programs stored in the memory 402, thereby implementing the steps in any of the drainage control methods provided in the embodiments of the present application: obtaining the water level parameter of the condensed water in the water receiving tray; wherein the water level parameter is a parameter used to reflect the height of the water level in the water receiving tray, and the water receiving tray does not drain by default; during the process of condensed water depositing in the water receiving tray, if the water level parameter meets the high water level state, the water receiving tray is controlled to drain until the water receiving tray is in an empty state, at which time the water receiving tray is controlled to stop draining.

[0100] In the above embodiment, the water pan does not drain by default. Instead, the water level parameters of the condensed water in the pan are acquired in real time. Drainage is initiated immediately when the water level reaches the high water mark, and continues until the pan is empty, allowing condensed water to continue to accumulate. This solution rapidly switches the water level in the pan between the high water mark and the empty state, disrupting the stable living conditions of microorganisms in a high water level environment. This significantly inhibits microbial growth in this area and reduces the risk of pipe blockage.

[0101] The specific implementation of the above operations can be found in the previous embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0102] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that all or part of the steps in the various methods of the above embodiments may be accomplished by instructions, or by controlling related hardware through instructions.

[0103] To this end, the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium, on which a computer program is stored. The computer program can be loaded by a processor to execute the steps in any drainage control method provided in the present application.

[0104] The specific implementation of the above operations can be found in the previous embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0105] The computer-readable storage medium may include a read-only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), a magnetic disk or an optical disk, etc.

[0106] Since the instructions stored in the computer-readable storage medium can execute the steps in any drainage control method provided in the present application, the beneficial effects that can be achieved by any drainage control method provided in the present application can be achieved. Please refer to the previous embodiments for details and will not be repeated here.
