In one example, in the intelligent drainage process, if the electronic control system E detects that the residual water cup S is moved, the user is prompted to return the residual water cup S through the operation display interface D, the water pump is turned off, and the rotary valve R is rotated to the closed position. If the electric control system E detects that the liquid level of the residual water cup S is too high, the user can be prompted to empty the liquid in the residual water cup S through the operation display interface D, and after the fault is removed, intelligent drainage work can be continued.
In one example, in the intelligent drainage process, water in the water tank W is continuously reduced, the water pump P is empty when the water pump P is reduced to a certain degree, when the electric control system E detects that the current of the water pump is too low and detects that the water level of the water tank is lower than the minimum value, the electric control system E determines that the liquid in the water tank is completely pumped at the moment, closes the water pump and closes the rotary valve, prompts the intelligent pumping completion on the operation display interface, and then automatically enters the standby interface.
In an example, when the drainage mode is divided into the tank drainage mode and the mixing cup drainage mode, the user may select to drain the liquid in the mixing cup to the slurry receiving cup M or to the remaining cup S in the mixing cup drainage mode. After the user selects the option of discharging to the slurry receiving cup M, the operation display interface D can display that the intelligent stirring cup drains water in progress, the electric control system E firstly detects the position of the slurry receiving cup M and the liquid level height of the slurry receiving cup M, if the slurry receiving cup M is not in place, the operation display interface D can prompt the user to place the slurry receiving cup M in place, and meanwhile, the rotary valve is rotated to the closed position to prevent liquid from flowing down. If the liquid level of the pulp receiving cup M is too high, the operation display interface D can prompt a user to remove the liquid in the pulp receiving cup M firstly, and meanwhile, the rotary valve is rotated to a closed position to prevent the liquid from overflowing. If no fault occurs, the electric control system E controls the rotary valve R to rotate to the position of the slurry receiving cup W, so that the liquid flows into the slurry receiving cup M through the water outlet and the water outlet. During the drainage of the intelligent stirring cup, when the slurry receiving cup is out of order or the high water level detection is effective in the working process, the system can prompt. When the preset drainage time of the electric control system E is up, the electric control system E can control the rotary valve R to rotate to a closed position, meanwhile, the display work on the operation display interface D is completed, and the system returns to a standby state.
