It is Avg (S{N}) that S103 defines the mean function of S{N};
The S104 definition water yield is Vol (θ) about the function of tilt angle theta;
When S105 definition is drunk water, θ is not less than θ0
When S106 defines θ value stabilization, S{N} standard deviation is less than Std0
It is Std (t) that S107 defines the standard deviation of t S{N} queue;
S108 defines StableTime stabilization time of θ, is initialized as 0;
The S109 definition sampling period is T (x) about the function of Std (t);
S110 definition drinks water the time between TimeMin and TimeMax;
S201 reads θ value, is inserted into queue S{N};
S202 judges that whether queue S{N} is full, if less than, perform next step, if full, jump to step S301;
S203 waits sampling period T (Std (t));
S301 judges Std (t) < Std0Whether set up, be, perform next step, otherwise jump to step S303;
S302 updates StableTime=StableTime+T (Std (t));
