Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automatic control and water level management of experimental equipment, and in particular to an automatic water replenishing device and method for multiple thermostat equipment. Background Art

[0002] In modern scientific research laboratories, thermostats are widely used in experimental environments that require precise control of temperature and humidity conditions. These devices usually maintain the required humidity level through internal water tanks.

[0003] The existing automatic water replenishment system and its limitations are that a certain degree of automatic water replenishment system is often used to reduce manual intervention. Most of these systems control the water replenishment process through simple water level sensing devices (such as float valves), and the common design includes a central water source supplying water to the water tanks of each thermostat device through pipes. Although these automatic systems have improved the efficiency of water replenishment to a certain extent, there are still the following significant problems in actual application:

[0004] 1. Limitations of fixed water replenishment frequency: Existing automatic water replenishment systems usually perform fixed-frequency water replenishment operations based on preset water level thresholds, and cannot be adjusted according to real-time water demand under different experimental conditions. This fixed water replenishment method can easily lead to insufficient water for some equipment, while other equipment may have excessive water replenishment, thus affecting the stability of the experimental equipment and the accuracy of the experimental data.

[0005] 2. Water pressure fluctuations affect system stability: In traditional automatic water replenishment systems, water pressure control is relatively extensive and cannot adapt to the water pressure fluctuations caused by the simultaneous water replenishment of multiple thermostats. Water pressure fluctuations may cause unstable water levels in the water tanks, or even cause equipment misoperation or alarms, thus affecting the normal progress of the experiment.

[0006] 3. Lack of intelligent response mechanism: Existing automatic water replenishment systems generally lack intelligent response mechanisms. When experimental conditions suddenly change or the water demand of the equipment changes rapidly, the system is difficult to adjust the water replenishment strategy in time. This may cause the equipment to have long-term water level abnormalities during use, which in turn affects the continuity of the experiment and may have an adverse effect on the experimental results.

[0007] 4. Insufficient scalability: With the increase in the number of equipment in the laboratory, the existing automatic water replenishment system is unable to cope with the simultaneous water replenishment needs of multiple devices. The pipeline design and water replenishment frequency are difficult to flexibly adjust, and the scalability of the system is limited, which is not conducive to the expansion and upgrading of laboratory equipment.

[0008] Therefore, how to dynamically adjust the water replenishment frequency and water volume according to the real-time water demand under different experimental conditions to ensure the stability of the thermostat equipment during long-term operation and the accuracy of the experimental data has become a technical problem to be solved by the present invention. Summary of the invention

[0029] During the water replenishment process, the opening time and frequency of the solenoid valves in each branch pipeline are dynamically adjusted according to the real-time monitored water pressure data to prevent water pressure fluctuations from affecting the water replenishment accuracy.

[0030] As a further solution of the present invention, step 6 further comprises:

[0031] The historical water consumption data of each thermostat device is recorded through the storage module of the central control unit;

[0032] An algorithm processing module is used to analyze the historical data and predict future water demand, and to generate a regulation instruction for adjusting the opening time and frequency of the branch pipeline solenoid valve.

[0033] As a further solution of the present invention, it also includes:

[0034] When the water level of any thermostatic tank device is detected to be lower than the preset lower limit, the water replenishment operation of the water purifier storage tank is immediately triggered;

[0035] The real-time water level and water pressure data are fed back to the central control unit through the communication module to ensure the timeliness and effectiveness of the water replenishment operation.

[0036] As a further aspect of the present invention, the execution of the method includes:

[0037] By utilizing the adaptive function of the central control system, the opening time and frequency of the solenoid valves in each branch pipeline are dynamically adjusted according to the real-time water demand and historical data of each thermostat equipment to ensure accurate control of the water level and stable operation of the equipment.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0039] 1. Multiple thermostats can be refilled synchronously, greatly reducing the need for manual intervention due to water shortage during the experiment. This design is particularly suitable for experimental environments that require long-term uninterrupted operation, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of experimental equipment and significantly improving the overall experimental efficiency.

[0052] Embodiment 1:

[0053] In a certain scientific research laboratory, there are multiple thermostats for long-term, high-precision temperature and humidity control experiments. During the operation of these thermostats, the water in the internal water tank 3 will gradually decrease due to evaporation and other reasons. In order to ensure the continuity of the experiment and the accuracy of the experimental data, the water level in the water tank 3 must be kept constant. However, due to the long experiment time and the large number of equipment, the traditional manual water addition method cannot replenish the water source in a timely and effective manner, causing some equipment to trigger alarms due to insufficient water levels, and even affecting the accuracy of the experimental results and the safety of the equipment.

[0054] In order to solve the above problems, this embodiment provides a multi-device automatic water replenishment device for use in the laboratory environment.

[0055] The device includes a water purifier storage box 1 set in the center of the laboratory, and the storage box is connected to multiple thermostats in the laboratory through a main pipeline 5 and a branch pipe 6. Each thermostat is equipped with a water tank 3, and a float sensor 4 is installed inside the water tank 3. The float sensor 4 is used to monitor the water level in the water tank 3 in real time. When the water level of the water tank 3 of any thermostat drops to a preset low water level, the float sensor 4 will send a signal to activate the water replenishment system connected to the water purifier storage box 1 through a signal transmission line.

[0056] When the water replenishment system receives the signal, the induction float 2 in the water purifier storage box 1 will detect the change in water level and automatically replenish water to the water tank 3 of each thermostat device through gravity. The water replenishment process is completed through the main pipeline 5 and the branch pipe 6, wherein each branch pipe 6 is respectively connected to the water tank 3 interface of each thermostat device. A valve 7 is provided at each water tank 3 interface to adjust the opening and closing of the water flow. When the water level in the water tank 3 reaches the preset high water level, the valve 7 automatically closes and stops replenishing water to ensure the stability of the water level in the water tank 3.

[0057] During the entire water replenishment process, the precise water level sensing and pressure control mechanism of the device played a key role. Due to the setting of valve 7, the water pressure fluctuation during water replenishment is effectively controlled, avoiding the water level fluctuation caused by unstable water pressure in traditional systems. The synchronous water replenishment process of multiple devices can ensure that the water tanks 3 of all thermostat devices return to normal water levels in a short time, thereby avoiding equipment alarms and experimental interruptions caused by insufficient water levels.

[0058] Through the application of this embodiment, the incubator equipment in the laboratory can still maintain a stable operating state when unattended. This not only greatly reduces the need for manual intervention and the errors that may be caused by manual operation, but also significantly improves the experimental efficiency and the operational safety of the equipment. In addition, the modular design of the device makes it possible to simply add 6 corresponding branch pipes when expanding the number of experimental equipment in the future, without changing the existing system, and has extremely high scalability and adaptability.

[0059] Embodiment 2:

[0060] On the basis of the above technical solutions, the automation and adaptive adjustment functions of the control system are further realized to meet the dynamic water demand of multiple thermostat equipment in the laboratory under different experimental conditions.

[0061] The control system mainly consists of the following components:

[0062] 1. Central Control Unit (MCU): responsible for the logic control and data processing of the overall system.

[0063] 2. Float sensor module: installed in the water tank 3 of each thermostat equipment, used to monitor the water level in real time.

[0064] 3. Solenoid valve control module: controls the opening and closing of valve 7 on branch pipe 6.

[0065] 4. Communication module: realize data transmission between each thermostat equipment and the central control unit.

[0066] 5. Pressure sensor module: monitors the water pressure in the system to ensure stable water pressure during the water replenishment process.

[0067] 6. Storage module: connected to the central control unit, used to store the historical water usage data of each thermostat equipment.

[0068] 7. Algorithm processing module: connected to the central control unit, used to analyze the data based on the storage module and generate adjustment instructions.

[0069] 8. Real-time monitoring module: connected to the central control unit, used to monitor the current water demand of the equipment and adjust the water replenishment operation in real time.

[0070] Control principle and steps: When the water level in the water tank 3 of a thermostat device is lower than the set value, the float sensing module will trigger a signal and transmit it to the central control unit. The central control unit extracts the historical water use data of the device from the storage module, and analyzes the current and predicted water demand through the algorithm processing module. Then, the communication module sends an opening command to the solenoid valve control module of the branch pipeline 6 where the device is located to start the water replenishment process. At the same time, the pressure sensor module monitors the water pressure changes in real time and feeds the data back to the central control unit. The central control unit dynamically adjusts the water replenishment speed according to the water pressure conditions to ensure that each device maintains a stable water pressure during the water replenishment process. When the water level in the water tank 3 reaches the set high water level, the float sensing module will send a signal to the central control unit, and the central control unit will immediately issue a command to close the solenoid valve and stop water replenishment. During the whole process, the central control unit will record the water use frequency and water volume data of each device for subsequent adaptive adjustment.

[0071] The adaptive system dynamically adjusts water demand through the following steps:

[0072] 1. Data collection and analysis: The control system’s built-in algorithm will continuously monitor and analyze the water usage frequency and water demand of each thermostat equipment to generate a historical data model.

[0073] 2. Dynamic adjustment: Based on historical data, the system can predict the changing trend of water demand for each device. The central control unit will pre-adjust the switching frequency and time of the valves 7 of each branch pipeline 6 according to these prediction results to ensure the accuracy of water replenishment.

[0074] 3. Real-time response: When the actual water demand of the equipment changes suddenly (such as changes in experimental conditions), the system can respond quickly and ensure the normal operation of the equipment by adjusting the water replenishment volume and frequency in real time.

[0075] The specific implementation steps are:

[0076] 1. Data collection and analysis: The control system uses a time series prediction algorithm to analyze the water demand of each thermostat device. Time series prediction algorithms such as ARIMA (autoregressive integrated moving average model) can identify patterns and trends by analyzing the historical water use data of the equipment (such as hourly water consumption).

[0077] For example, suppose the daily water consumption of device A in the past 7 days is 5L, 6L, 5.5L, 7L, 8L, 6.5L, 7L. Through the ARIMA model, the system can predict that the water consumption of device A may rise to 8L on the next day. The system stores these prediction results in the central control unit as a basis for future adjustments.

[0078] 2. Dynamic adjustment: Based on the historical data model, the system will use an adaptive control algorithm to adjust the frequency and amount of water replenishment. This algorithm will set the opening time and frequency of the valve 7 on each branch pipe 6 in advance according to the predicted changes in water demand to ensure the accuracy of water replenishment.

[0079] For example, if the water demand of device A is expected to increase in the next 3 hours, the system will adjust valve 7 of the branch pipe of device A in advance to open it for a longer time within the specified time period to ensure that the water tank of the device is always maintained at the optimal water level. For example, the original valve opening time is 5 minutes, which may now be adjusted to 7 minutes.

[0080] 3. Real-time response: In actual use, if the water demand of a certain device changes suddenly (for example, a change in experimental conditions causes a surge in water consumption), the system will monitor the water level changes in real time through the PID control algorithm and make adjustments quickly. The PID control algorithm is a classic feedback control mechanism that can automatically adjust the system output through real-time data feedback to achieve the desired effect.

[0081] For example, if the water level in the water tank of device A suddenly drops due to a sudden change in experimental conditions, the system will immediately analyze the difference between the current water level and the target water level through the PID control algorithm, and then speed up the opening frequency of valve 7, or even open the valve continuously until the water level returns to normal. This real-time response mechanism ensures that the device can operate stably even when water demand suddenly changes.

[0082] In actual applications, for example, in a complex experimental environment, three thermostat devices A, B, and C perform different experimental tasks respectively. Device A needs to be frequently replenished with water, while the water demand of devices B and C is relatively low. The storage module records the historical water use data of device A, and the algorithm processing module predicts the future water demand of device A. The system dynamically adjusts the water replenishment frequency in advance. Even if the water demand of device A suddenly increases during the experiment, the system can quickly sense it through the real-time monitoring module and automatically increase the water replenishment, while devices B and C maintain low-frequency water replenishment. In the end, all devices can maintain the optimal water level, avoiding equipment alarms and experimental interruptions caused by uneven water use.

[0083] Embodiment 3:

[0084] An automatic water replenishment method for multiple thermostat equipment includes the following steps:

[0085] Step 1: monitor the water level in each thermostat water tank, and install a float sensor in each water tank to sense the water level change in real time. When the water level is lower than the preset value, the float sensor generates a water level signal, which is transmitted to the central control unit through the signal transmission line.

[0086] Step 2: The central control unit receives and analyzes the water level signal and compares the current water level with the preset water level. If the water level is lower than the preset value, it determines that water replenishment is required and generates corresponding control instructions.

[0087] Step 3: Based on the analysis results, the central control unit sends instructions to the solenoid valve control module through the communication module to activate the solenoid valves connected to the water tank interfaces of each thermostat. After receiving the instructions, the control module opens the corresponding solenoid valve to allow water to flow into the water tank that needs to be replenished.

[0088] Step 4, control the water flow in the water purifier storage box and transport it to each water tank through the main pipe and its branch pipes. A sensing float is installed inside the water purifier storage box to detect the water level. When the water level drops to the set low water level, the system starts the water replenishment operation and injects water into the water tank through the main pipe and each branch pipe through natural water pressure or water pump until the water level reaches the preset upper limit. During the water replenishment process, the pressure sensor module monitors the water pressure in the pipeline in real time and feeds the monitoring data back to the central control unit.

[0089] Step 5: Based on the feedback data from the pressure sensor module, the central control unit dynamically adjusts the opening time and frequency of each branch pipeline solenoid valve to prevent water pressure fluctuations during the water replenishment process. According to the actual water demand and water level of different thermostat equipment, the central control unit accurately controls the water replenishment operation to ensure that the water level in each equipment tank remains within the preset range.

[0090] Step 6: After the water replenishment is completed, the storage module of the central control unit records the data of each water replenishment, including the frequency and amount of water replenishment and the actual water consumption of each thermostat. The algorithm processing module analyzes the historical water consumption data, predicts future water demand, generates adjustment instructions for adjusting the opening time and frequency of the solenoid valves of each branch pipeline, and uses the instructions for subsequent water replenishment operations to optimize the water replenishment strategy.

[0091] Step 7: When the water level of any thermostat device is lower than the preset lower limit, the float sensor immediately sends a signal to the central control unit. The central control unit quickly triggers the water purifier storage tank to perform emergency water replenishment operations, and feeds back the real-time water level and water pressure data to the system through the communication module to ensure the timeliness and effectiveness of the water replenishment process. The real-time monitoring module adjusts the water replenishment parameters according to the current data to avoid any equipment from generating alarms or stopping work due to insufficient water levels.

[0092] Step 8: The central control unit dynamically adjusts the opening time and frequency of the solenoid valves of each branch pipeline through the built-in adaptive algorithm to adapt to the changes in water demand under different experimental conditions. Based on historical data and real-time feedback, the system can predict the trend of water use changes in advance and adjust the water replenishment strategy in advance to keep the water level of each thermostat device stable at all times, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the equipment and the accuracy of the experimental results.

[0093] Specific application scenario: In a scientific research laboratory, there are multiple thermostats, each of which is used to conduct different long-term, high-precision temperature and humidity control experiments. Since the experimental process involves a long period of continuous operation, the water in the water tank will continue to decrease due to evaporation or humidity adjustment required for equipment operation. Traditionally, manual water replenishment is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also prone to equipment alarms or inaccurate experimental data due to untimely operation or human errors.

[0094] This automatic water replenishment method is applied in the laboratory. A float sensing device is installed inside the water tank of each thermostat equipment to monitor the water level in real time. When the water level of any equipment's water tank drops to the preset lower limit, the float sensing device will generate a water level signal and transmit the signal to the central control unit through the signal transmission line. After receiving the signal, the central control unit immediately determines whether water replenishment operation is required, and sends a command to the solenoid valve control module to open the solenoid valve on the corresponding branch pipe. The water in the water purifier storage tank is automatically replenished to the corresponding equipment water tank through the main pipe and branch pipe.

[0095] During the water replenishment process, the pressure sensor module monitors the water pressure data in real time and feeds it back to the central control unit. The central control unit dynamically adjusts the opening time and frequency of the solenoid valve based on the feedback data to ensure the stability and accuracy of the water replenishment operation. After the water replenishment is completed, the central control unit records the data of each water replenishment and uses an adaptive algorithm to optimize the subsequent water replenishment strategy.

[0096] If the experimental environment conditions change, for example, the water consumption of a certain thermostat device increases due to new experimental requirements, the central control unit can dynamically adjust the opening frequency and time of the solenoid valves of each branch pipeline based on historical data and real-time monitoring data to ensure that the water level in the water tank of each device is always in the best state.

[0097] In this way, the laboratory has achieved fully automated water replenishment management, effectively reducing manual intervention, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the equipment, and improving the overall efficiency of the experiment and the accuracy of the data. This method is particularly suitable for scientific research laboratories that require long-term uninterrupted operation and precise control of environmental conditions, or other industrial application scenarios that require frequent water replenishment.
