It should be noted that the controller 112 may monitor the water flow rate of the discharge channel 108 through the discharge flow rate detection device 210, so that the controller 112 may control the discharge flow rate adjustment device 110 through the water flow rate of the discharge channel 108. Alternatively, the discharge flow rate detecting device 210 may be a water flow rate sensor or a water flow rate sensor.
The controller 112 will briefly describe the discharge flow rate control device 110 through the discharge channel 108 by taking the discharge flow rate control device 210 as a water proportional valve as an example. The controller 112 outputs a control signal to control the opening of the water proportional valve, determines whether the opening of the water proportional valve at the moment meets the requirement or not through the water discharge flow fed back by the water discharge flow detection device 210, and when the water discharge flow fed back by the water discharge flow detection device 210 is consistent with the target water discharge flow, the controller 112 maintains the control signal output to the water proportional valve; when the discharge flow rate fed back by the discharge flow rate detection device 210 is not identical to the target discharge flow rate, the controller 112 changes the control signal output to the water proportional valve until the discharge flow rate fed back by the discharge flow rate detection device 210 is identical to the target discharge flow rate.
