for example, at least one touch key is disposed on the touch control panel, and certainly, if only one touch key is disposed, the touch key can respectively represent a reset key or a selection key when touch operations with different pressures or times are performed on the touch key.
For another example, one of the two touch keys on the touch control panel represents a reset key, and the other touch key represents a selection key, and when the selection key is subjected to touch operations of different pressures or times, different filter elements are selected. For example, for a selection button, pressing once indicates that a first filter element is selected, pressing twice indicates that a second filter element is selected, and so on. For another example, for the selection key, pressing once indicates that the filter element i is selected, pressing once again on this basis selects the filter element i +1 adjacent to the filter element i, and so on, it should be noted that when the currently selected filter element is the filter element with the largest identification number, pressing once again will select the filter element with the smallest identification number.
For another example, three touch keys on the touch control panel, one of the touch keys represents a reset key, the other touch key represents a selection key, and the third touch key represents a view key; when the selection key is touched with different pressures or times, different filter elements are selected; when the touch operation with different pressure or times is executed for the viewing key, the viewing key represents that different information in the life related information is viewed. For example, for a selection button, pressing once indicates that a first filter element is selected, pressing twice indicates that a second filter element is selected, and so on. After a certain filter element is selected through the selection key, the display module displays the residual service life information of the selected filter element by pressing the viewing key once, and displays the total service life information of the selected filter element by pressing the viewing key once again.
Of course, how many touch keys are specifically arranged on the touch control panel can be comprehensively considered according to user requirements or design requirements or product cost, and the embodiment does not limit the number of touch keys on the interaction module, the mode of selecting the filter element and how to view the service life related information.
In the following, the interactive module 40 is implemented by using a switch control panel as an example.
for example, the switch control panel is at least provided with a reset control switch and a selection control switch for selecting the filter element. When the selection control switch is operated at different pressures or times, different filter elements can be selected. For example, for a selection control switch, pressing once indicates that a first filter element is selected, pressing twice indicates that a second filter element is selected, and so on. For another example, for the selection control switch, pressing once indicates that the filter element i is selected, pressing once again on the basis, selecting the filter element i +1 adjacent to the filter element i, and so on, it should be noted that when the currently selected filter element is the filter element with the largest identification number, applying an opposite force again, and making the selected identification number be the filter element with the identification number smaller than the largest identification number by 1; and applying an opposite force again, selecting the filter element with the identification number 2 smaller than the maximum identification number, and repeating the steps until the filter element with the minimum identification number is selected.
Of course, how many touch keys are specifically arranged on the switch control panel can be comprehensively considered according to user requirements or design requirements or product cost, and the embodiment does not limit the number of the selection control switches on the interactive module, the mode of selecting the filter element and how to view the service life related information.

For example, the reminding module 50 is a voice reminding module or a buzzer.
Therefore, when the residual service life of the filter element is less than or equal to the preset threshold value, the filter element detection device can remind a user of replacing the filter element in a sound reminding mode.
Specifically, the control module 20 may operate to notify the display module 30 to output the first type of prompt message and/or the reminder module 50 to output the second type of prompt message based on the setting of the user.
