1. A method for controlling opening and closing of at least one water outlet of an electromagnetic distributor, the method comprising:
detecting, by at least one sensor, a current position, relative to the at least one water outlet, of at least one solenoid valve core in at least one magnetic conducting chamber;
determining, by a controller, a current state of the at least water outlet according to the detected current position of the at least one solenoid valve core in the at least one magnetic conducting chamber;
generating, by an electromagnetic coil, a magnetic field force on the at least one solenoid valve core in the at least one magnetic conducting chamber;
adjusting, by the controller in response to a request from a user, a direction and an amount of the magnetic field force on the at least one solenoid valve core according to the determined current state of the at least one water outlet; and
controlling, by the controller, a movement, relative to the at least one water outlet, of the at least one solenoid valve core according to the adjusted direction and the adjusted amount of the magnetic field force on the at least one solenoid valve core.
