Abstract
A liquid discharge control method includes acquiring a cup height of a cup in response to detecting that a cup is placed in a preset position, controlling a liquid outlet to open for liquid discharge in response to receiving a liquid discharge instruction; acquiring a real-time liquid level height in the cup during the liquid discharge, and controlling the liquid outlet to open or close based on the cup height and the real-time liquid level height.
Claims7
A liquid discharge control method, comprising:
- acquiring a cup height of a cup in response to detecting that a cup is placed in a preset position;
- controlling a liquid outlet to open for liquid discharge in response to receiving a liquid discharge instruction;
- acquiring a real-time liquid level height in the cup during the liquid discharge;
- and
- controlling the liquid outlet to open or close based on the cup height and the real-time liquid level height,
- wherein the controlling the liquid outlet to open or close based on the cup height and the real-time liquid level height comprises:
- determining a target liquid level height of the cup based on the cup height;
- controlling the liquid outlet to remain open to continue the liquid discharge in response to that the real-time liquid level height does not reach the target liquid level height;
- or
- controlling the liquid outlet to close to stop the liquid discharge in response to that the real-time liquid level height reaches the target liquid level height;
- wherein the determining the target liquid level height of the cup based on the cup height comprises:
- acquiring a pre-stored cup-full liquid level height ratio, wherein the cup-full liquid level height ratio is configured for indicating a ratio of a liquid level height when the cup is full to the cup height;
- determining the target liquid level height based on the cup height and the cup-full liquid level height ratio;
- the liquid discharge control method further comprising:
- generating prompt message for inputting the cup-full liquid level height ratio;
- and
- storing the cup-full liquid level height ratio in response to receiving a currently input cup-full liquid level height ratio based on the prompt message, and
- after the cup-full liquid level height ratio is stored, reading the cup-full liquid level height ratio to determine the target liquid level height.
