Judging whether the sub water tank is in butt joint with the main water tank according to the position information; when the water tank is a photoelectric sensor or a position sensor, when the photoelectric sensor or the position sensor feeds back signals, the sub water tank is in butt joint with the mother water tank, and a water supplementing instruction is sent out; when the weight sensor is used, if the weight displayed by the weight sensor is not 0, the fact that the child water tank is placed on the mother water tank is indicated, and a water supplementing instruction is sent.
Step two: if a water supplementing instruction is received, controlling the water inlet device to supplement water for at least N seconds to the sub water tank; where N seconds is the time required to fill the sub-tank 121.
In some embodiments, filling is the amount of water required to fill the water cavity of the sub-tank 121 with water in a conventional manner. In some embodiments, that is, assuming that the time required for filling the sub-tank 121 with water is 20 seconds, the water in the redundant sub-tank will flow back to the main tank 110 through the water return pipeline after the filling of 20 seconds, without considering how much residual water remains in the sub-tank. In other embodiments, the program sets the water inlet to be more than 20 seconds, such as 25 seconds, and the excess water in the sub-tank after 20 seconds is filled is returned to the main tank 110 through the return water pipe.
In other embodiments, the filling is that the water filled into the sub-tank 121 reaches a preset scale (i.e. the water filled into the sub-tank 121 is not filled into the whole water cavity of the sub-tank 121 in practice), and at this time, a gap exists between the water level in the sub-tank 121 and the top of the sub-tank 121, so that the water that has passed through the upper portion of the water return pipeline flows back to the mother tank 110 through the water return pipeline; in addition, when the water inlet power unit is an air pump, the gap leaves a space for air to enter the air pipe. In some embodiments, a preset scale may be set to 100mL, where the preset scale is smaller than the volume of the water cavity of the sub-water tank, and at this time, the upper portion of the water return pipe may be set to be flush with the preset scale; so that when the sub-tank is "filled" with water, the excess water flows back into the main tank 110 through the return line.
The preset scale may be any value. In some embodiments, the predetermined scale is related to the amount of water needed to iron a garment, e.g., the predetermined scale is the amount of water needed to iron a garment; when ironing of one piece of clothes is finished, the user tides the ironed clothes and can supplement water to the sub-water tank through the main water tank again; this kind of setting, with user's ironing clearance and water tank moisturizing seamless connection, user experience is good. In other embodiments, the preset scale may correspond to the amount of water needed to iron a plurality of garments. In other embodiments, the preset scale may be set to a level corresponding to the sub-tank when the water level in the sub-tank is 50% -95% of the total volume of the water chamber, which may reduce the number of water replenishment times relatively as compared to a scheme in which the preset scale is related to the water usage required for ironing clothes, while also leaving sufficient return water space, and air flow space (when an air pump is present) in the sub-tank water chamber.
The fixing area is described in a progressive manner in each embodiment, and the same and similar parts of each embodiment are referred to each other, and each embodiment mainly describes differences from other embodiments. In particular, for system embodiments, since they are substantially similar to method embodiments, the description is relatively simple, as relevant to see a section of the description of method embodiments.
