[0002] In the field of pool maintenance, especially swimming pool maintenance, it is necessary to regularly test the water quality in the pool and add various water quality conditioning agents according to the test results, including but not limited to disinfectants, pH adjusters, adsorbents, turbidity agents, buffers, antibacterial agents, and algaecides.

[0003] To improve the quality and convenience of water tank maintenance, chemicals can be added directly to the tank via the base station or by supplying chemicals to cleaning equipment. However, users cannot know the chemical levels in the base station in a timely manner, nor can they confirm whether the chemicals have been used up, relying solely on periodic checks. This undoubtedly increases the cost of water tank maintenance for users, not only consuming time and effort but also potentially leading to ineffective water quality regulation due to the failure to detect chemical depletion in a timely manner, affecting the normal use and hygiene of the water tank.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a drug storage component 100 and a base station having the same. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a water tank cleaning base station 200, which can be installed inside or outside the water tank depending on the actual usage scenario. The main function of the water tank cleaning base station 200 is to provide a stopping point for mobile cleaning equipment used for cleaning the water tank, and to provide various support for the mobile cleaning equipment, including but not limited to charging, waste collection, and adding water quality conditioning agents.

[0038] The water tank cleaning base station 200 includes a body 210, which provides space for the installation and support of various modules within the base station. The body 210 can be designed in various styles, and the material can be selected as needed to meet different usage scenarios. The body 210 can house a power supply module for charging mobile cleaning equipment, a waste collection module for collecting waste brought back by the mobile cleaning equipment, and a chemical storage module for adding various water quality conditioning agents to the mobile cleaning equipment. In this embodiment, the chemical storage module includes a chemical storage component 100, which stores various water quality conditioning agents and has the function of detecting the agent level. Preferably, an operation panel can be provided on the body 210 to facilitate users in viewing agent level information and controlling the operation of the water tank cleaning base station 200.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, the agent storage component 100 is not used to provide agents to the mobile cleaning equipment, but to add agents directly to the pool. It is understood that in this case, the pool cleaning base station 200 should be set in the pool.

[0040] Please continue reading. Figure 2 and Figure 3The drug storage assembly 100 is disposed within the body 210 and includes a drug storage section 10 and a detection mechanism. The drug storage section 10 has a chamber 11 for storing drugs and a drug outlet communicating with the chamber 11. The water tank cleaning base station 200 can supply drugs to the water tank and / or cleaning equipment through the drug outlet. The detection mechanism is disposed outside the drug storage section 10 or integrated into the drug storage section 10 and is used to detect the amount of drugs stored in the drug storage section 10.

[0041] It is understood that the water tank cleaning base station 200 should also include a control device and a communication device. The control device can acquire the test results from the testing agency and send the test results or information related to the reagent inventory obtained based on the test results to the corresponding terminal through the communication device to remind the user to add reagents in a timely manner. The terminal can be a display device on the water tank cleaning base station 200, such as an operation panel, or it can be a remote communication device, such as a user's mobile phone.

[0042] In this embodiment, the chamber 11 of the medicine storage unit 10 is used to store medicine, and the medicine outlet allows the base station to supply medicine to the water tank and / or cleaning equipment, meeting the need for adding medicine during water tank maintenance. The detection mechanism can detect the medicine level, solving the problem in the prior art where users cannot know the medicine level in the base station in a timely manner. Users no longer need to spend time and effort checking the medicine level periodically, reducing maintenance costs. Furthermore, it avoids situations where the water quality in the tank cannot be effectively adjusted due to the failure to detect the medicine depletion in time, ensuring the normal use and hygiene of the water tank.

[0043] Based on the above embodiment, the type of detection mechanism is not limited. For example, the detection mechanism includes at least one of the following: weight detection device 20, Hall effect detection device 30, capacitance detection device 40, probe detection device 50, photoelectric detection device 60, and laser detection device 70.

[0044] When a testing organization uses different types of testing devices, each has its unique advantages. The weight detection device 20 determines the drug quantity by detecting the load weight through the support platform 21 and a weight detection sensor. It has a simple structure and accurate measurement, suitable for detecting both solid and liquid drugs. The Hall effect detection device 30 uses a float 31 and a Hall effect sensor 32 to determine the liquid drug quantity by detecting the position of the float 31, providing real-time and intuitive feedback on quantity changes. The capacitance detection device 40 determines the quantity by detecting the dielectric constant of the liquid stored in the chamber 11, offering high accuracy for liquid drug detection. The probe detection device 50 determines the drug quantity based on the conduction state of the first probe 51 and the second probe 52, offering low cost and ease of implementation. The photoelectric detection device 60 uses a photoelectric emitter and a photoelectric receiver in the drug dispensing pipeline 14 to directly detect the dispensing status and thus determine the quantity. The laser detection device 70 uses a laser emitter 71 and a laser receiver 72, enabling non-contact detection with minimal impact on the internal structure of the drug storage component 100.

[0045] Further, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drug storage section 10 includes a first drug storage section 10 for storing solid drugs and / or a second drug storage section 10 for storing liquid drugs. The first and second drug storage sections 10 each include a housing 12, within which a chamber 11 for storing the drugs is formed. Preferably, the housing 12 may also be divided to store multiple drugs as needed. The detection mechanism includes a first detection mechanism for detecting the amount of drugs stored in the first drug storage section 10. The first detection mechanism is a weight detection device 20, specifically designed for detecting the amount of solid drugs. The detection mechanism also includes a second detection mechanism for detecting the amount of drugs stored in the second drug storage section 10. The second detection mechanism includes at least one of the following: a weight detection device 20, a Hall effect detection device 30, a capacitance detection device 40, a probe detection device 50, a photoelectric detection device 60, and a laser detection device 70. Preferably, the second detection mechanism includes two or more different types of detection devices, allowing for calibration and verification of the detection results using different devices, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection results.

[0046] Based on the above embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 4 Optionally, the weight detection device 20 consists of a support platform 21 and a weight detection sensor. The support platform 21 is located below the box 12 and serves to support the box 12. The weight detection sensor is responsible for measuring the weight supported by the support platform 21 to determine the remaining amount of medicine in the box 12. In this embodiment, the box 12 is placed on the support platform 21, and the weight of the medicine in the box 12 is transmitted to the weight detection sensor through the support platform 21. The weight signal is then converted into an electrical signal or a digital signal, which, after processing, yields the weight change of the medicine, thereby determining the remaining amount of medicine. In this embodiment, the detection mechanism has a simple and reliable structure, can directly measure the weight of the medicine, is applicable to both solid and liquid medicines, has high detection accuracy, and is relatively low in cost, making it easy to apply in actual products.

[0047] In one embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 5The Hall effect detection device 30 includes a buoy 31 and a Hall effect sensor 32. A magnet is mounted on the buoy 31. A guide rail 13 extending vertically is provided inside the chamber 11. The buoy 31 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 13. The Hall effect sensor 32 is located outside the chamber 11 and is used to detect the position of the buoy 31. In this embodiment, the buoy 31 is mounted on the guide rail 13 inside the chamber 11 and can slide up and down with the liquid level. When the liquid level changes, the buoy 31 moves up and down accordingly, and the position of the magnet on the buoy 31 changes accordingly. The Hall effect sensor 32 can sense the change in magnetic field, thereby determining the position of the buoy 31. Based on a pre-set correspondence between the position of the buoy 31 and the remaining amount of the drug, the remaining amount of the drug is calculated.

[0048] In this embodiment, the Hall effect detection device 30 can detect the remaining amount of liquid medicine in real time and intuitively. The non-contact detection method does not interfere with the medicine and storage container, and its structure is relatively simple, low in cost, and highly practical.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the capacitance detection device 40 includes a capacitor plate 41 disposed within the chamber 11 and a capacitance detection circuit disposed outside the chamber 11. The capacitance detection circuit is electrically connected to the capacitor plate 41 and is used to detect the dielectric constant of the liquid stored in the chamber 11. Preferably, the capacitance detection circuit can employ a high-precision capacitance measurement chip to improve detection accuracy. A temperature compensation circuit can also be provided to reduce the influence of temperature changes on the dielectric constant measurement. In this embodiment, liquid agents at different liquid levels will change the dielectric between the capacitor plates 41, causing changes in the capacitance value. The capacitance detection circuit measures the change in capacitance value and converts it into a signal related to the remaining agent amount. Based on the correspondence between the capacitance value and the remaining agent amount, the remaining agent amount is calculated. The capacitance detection device 40 has high detection accuracy for the remaining liquid agent amount, is not affected by factors such as the color and transparency of the agent, and can accurately reflect changes in the remaining agent amount, providing users with accurate remaining amount information.

[0050] Alternatively, please continue reading Figure 5The probe detection device 50 includes a first probe 51, a second probe 52, and a continuity detection circuit. The first probe 51 and the second probe 52 are disposed at the bottom of the chamber 11, preferably mounted on the bottom wall 123 of the housing 12. The continuity detection circuit is disposed outside the chamber 11 and is used to detect the continuity status of the first probe 51 and the second probe 52. The first probe 51 and the second probe 52 can be made of corrosion-resistant metal materials, such as stainless steel. When there is sufficient liquid reagent in the chamber 11, the reagent will cause the first probe 51 and the second probe 52 to conduct, and the continuity detection circuit will detect the conduction signal. As the reagent decreases, the liquid level drops. When the liquid level is lower than the probe position, the probes no longer conduct, and the continuity detection circuit will detect the signal change. Based on this change, it will determine whether the remaining reagent is insufficient. In this embodiment, the probe detection device 50 has a simple structure, low cost, and can effectively detect the remaining amount of liquid reagent.

[0051] In yet another alternative embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 4 The drug storage assembly 100 also includes a drug dispensing conduit 14, which is connected to a drug outlet. The photoelectric detection device 60 includes a photoelectric transmitter and a photoelectric receiver disposed within the drug dispensing conduit 14. The drug storage assembly 100 adds a drug dispensing conduit 14, connected to the drug outlet, for delivering the drug. The photoelectric detection device 60, installed in the drug dispensing conduit 14, consists of a photoelectric transmitter and a photoelectric receiver, and determines the remaining drug level by detecting changes in light within the drug dispensing conduit 14. In this embodiment, when drug flows within the drug dispensing conduit 14, the propagation characteristics of light in the drug differ from those in air, causing a change in the intensity of the light signal received by the photoelectric receiver. By monitoring the change in light signal intensity, the flow of drug in the drug dispensing conduit 14 is determined, thereby inferring the remaining drug level. For example, when the remaining drug level is insufficient, air bubbles may appear in the drug dispensing conduit 14, causing abnormal changes in the light signal, thus detecting insufficient levels. In this embodiment, the photoelectric detection device 60 can directly detect the dispensing status and determine the remaining amount of medicine from the perspective of dispensing. It is preferably complementary to other types of detection methods, which improves the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the remaining amount of medicine detection and provides users with more reliable information on the remaining amount of medicine.

[0052] Please continue reading. Figure 6In an optional embodiment, the housing 12 includes a first sidewall 121 and a second sidewall 122 that are arranged opposite to each other and extend vertically. The laser detection device 70 includes a laser emitter 71 disposed on the first sidewall 121 and a laser receiver 72 disposed on the second sidewall 122. Preferably, the first sidewall 121 and the second sidewall 122 are made of light-transmitting material at least in the portions corresponding to where the laser detection device 70 is disposed. Both the laser emitter 71 and the laser receiver 72 are disposed on the outside of the housing 12, thus avoiding interference with the medicine and storage container, and also preventing the medicine from corroding the laser detection device 70. In this embodiment, the laser detection device 70 adopts non-contact detection, which does not damage the internal structure of the medicine storage component 100, has high detection accuracy, and can adapt to complex storage environments, providing a reliable technical means for accurately detecting the remaining amount of medicine.
