step S121, in a first set time period t21, closing a control valve at a water inlet of a water supply waterway, and enabling the water supply waterway not to flow through the water inlet water flow;
and S122, in a second set time period t22, opening a control valve at the water inlet of the water supply waterway, and allowing the inflow water at a second set water pressure p2 to flow in the water supply waterway.
