Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an intelligent anti - leakage device, specifically an intelligent anti - leakage automatic valve - closing device. Background Art

[0002] In daily life and production activities, water pipe leakage is a common problem that may bring serious consequences. Whether it is the aging or rupture of water pipes in households, or the leakage caused by construction, equipment failures, etc. in commercial places, if not detected and measures taken in time, it may trigger a series of problems such as floor soaking, wall dampness, and electrical appliance damage, bringing relatively large property losses to people.

[0003] Currently, although there are some anti - leakage devices on the market, most of them have certain limitations. Some simple leakage detection devices can only give an alarm and cannot automatically close the valve, still requiring manual intervention and being unable to effectively prevent the further expansion of leakage when no one is present. And some devices with the function of automatically closing the valve often have complex structures, inconvenient installation, high costs, and are difficult to be widely applied. In addition, the existing anti - leakage devices also lack in adaptability and are difficult to be flexibly adjusted according to different pipe specifications and installation environments. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a device with a simple structure, convenient installation, strong adaptability and effective automatic anti - leakage function. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the above - mentioned technical problems and provides an intelligent anti - leakage automatic valve - closing device, which is mainly applied to various water - using scenarios such as households and commercial places, used to detect water leakage in time and automatically close the valve to prevent property losses caused by water leakage.

[0027] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clear and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0028] I. Working principle of the present invention:

[0029] The fixed iron plate and the adjusting rod. The fixed iron plate 1 serves as the support basis of the whole device, providing an installation platform for other components, and adjusting rods 2 are respectively arranged on both sides. The adjusting rod 2 includes an outer rod 201 and an inner rod 202, which are connected by threads, and an adjusting ring 203 is arranged in the middle. By rotating the adjusting ring 203, the relative positions of the outer rod 201 and the inner rod 202 can be changed, so as to adjust the overall length of the adjusting rod 2. This design enables the device to flexibly adjust the position and angle according to pipes with different diameters and different installation spaces, ensuring adaptation to the pipes and laying a foundation for the stable installation and function realization of subsequent components.

[0030] The buckle. There are two buckles 3, which are located below the adjusting rod 2 and are in an n-shaped structure with the opening facing downwards, and a flexible protective sleeve is arranged on the buckle 3. The n-shaped structure of the buckle 3 can stably clamp on the pipe, fixing the whole device at a specific position on the pipe. The flexible protective sleeve increases the friction between the buckle and the pipe on the one hand, making the fixation more firm; on the other hand, it avoids scratching the surface of the pipe by the buckle and protects the integrity of the pipe.

[0031] Relay group, the relay group 4 consists of a base 401 and a housing 402. The base 401 is a trough-shaped structure and is firmly fixed on the fixed iron plate 1. The housing 402 is hemispherical and made of a light-transmitting material, and is arranged on the base 401. At the bottom of the base 401, there is a metal rudder plate 403, and there are multiple support feet 4031 at the bottom of the metal rudder plate 403. Inside the base 401, there is a micro-motor 404 for driving the metal rudder plate 403, and there are also a time-delay relay 405, an alarm buzzer 407, an alarm lamp 408, and a manual switch. The hemispherical and light-transmitting housing 402 facilitates users to observe the internal state.

[0032] Detector, the detector 5 consists of a probe 501 and a power cord 502. The probe 501 is provided with a suction cup 503. The probe 501 uses a water-sensitive material or sensor technology. When water contacts the probe 501, the internal circuit state changes, generating an electrical signal, which is transmitted through the power cord 502 to the relay group 4 as a signal source for triggering subsequent actions. The suction cup 503 facilitates the detector to be installed in a position such as a baseboard in a certain way, ensuring that the bottom of the probe is in flat contact with the ground to achieve effective detection of water leakage.

[0033] Adapter, the adapter 6 is connected to the relay group 4 through a power cord. The adapter 6 converts the external power supply into a stable voltage suitable for the operation of the relay group 4 and each component of the entire device, ensuring that each part of the device can operate normally and stably.

[0034] Water leakage detection and response: When water leakage occurs in the water pipe, the water contacts the probe 501 of the detector 5, and the detector transmits the signal through the power cord 502 to the relay group 4. After receiving the signal, the relay group 4 automatically activates the closing function and controls the micro-motor 404 to drive the metal rudder plate 403 to rotate within 0 - 30 seconds, thereby closing the pipeline valve. At the same time, the alarm buzzer 407 emits an alarm sound and the alarm lamp 408 flashes to prompt the user that water leakage has occurred. When the automatic closing function is activated, the manual function will be locked, and the manual function can be operated after 1 minute.

[0035] Fault handling and recovery: If water leakage occurs, first unplug the power supply, handle the water leakage problem, then pick up the detector, dry the bottom of the probe 501, or it can also be dried with a hair dryer. Then plug in the power supply and reinstall it according to the above installation method. If there is no water leakage, but the valve closing indicator light is flashing or the alarm goes off, it may be caused by water or moisture at the bottom of the probe 501. The handling method is to unplug the power supply, dry the bottom of the probe with a dry cloth, or dry it with a hair dryer, then plug in the power supply, push the switch according to the indicator label, and release it completely after opening. In addition, if a power outage occurs and it is necessary to close the water gate at this time, the device can be lifted up and removed, and the water gate can be manually closed.

[0036] II. Embodiment:

[0037] 2.1. Example 1: Installation and Use in a Home Kitchen

[0038] Installation Preparation: Select an installation location under the sink in the home kitchen, and prepare tools such as an intelligent anti - leakage automatic valve - closing device and a screwdriver. Clean the water pipe and the surrounding area to ensure there is no debris.

[0039] Valve - closing Device Installation: Open the water gate under the sink to the normal use position and then turn it back half a turn. Align the support feet 4031 of the metal steering wheel 403 of the valve - closing device with the pipeline valve, and press down to make the support feet clamp the valve. Then, fix the two buckles 3 on the water pipe, and rotate the adjustment ring 203 to adjust the length of the adjustment rod 2 so that the valve - closing device is firmly installed without affecting surrounding items.

[0040] Detector Installation: Select a position on the baseboard near the sink, and dry the surface with a dry cloth. Align the suction cup 503 of the detector probe 501 with the baseboard and press it so that the bottom of the probe is in flat contact with the ground and firmly adsorbed.

[0041] Power Connection and Testing: Connect the adapter 6 to a suitable power socket, and connect the relay group 4 through the power cord. Simulate a water leak in the sink and drip a small amount of water near the detector probe 501. Observe whether the valve - closing device automatically closes the valve within 0 - 30 seconds, whether the alarm buzzer 407 emits an alarm sound, and whether the alarm light 408 flashes. If the function is normal, dry the bottom of the detector probe 501, stop simulating the water leak, and resume normal use.

[0042] Working Process: During daily use, the detector 5 continuously monitors whether there is water on the ground. Once the probe 501 detects water, the signal is transmitted to the relay group 4 through the power cord 502. The micro - motor 404 in the relay group 4 starts, driving the metal steering wheel 403 to rotate and close the valve. At the same time, the alarm buzzer 407 and the alarm light 408 work to give an alarm. If a fault occurs, such as a false alarm from the detector, operate according to the fault handling method described above.

[0043] 2.2 Example 2: Installation and Use in a Commercial Bathroom

[0044] Installation Preparation: Determine the installation point near the water inlet pipe of the toilet in the commercial bathroom, and prepare tools such as an intelligent anti - leakage automatic valve - closing device, an electric drill, and expansion screws. Clean the debris on the pipeline and the installation ground.

[0045] Valve - closing Device Installation: Follow the same steps as the valve - closing device installation in the home kitchen to install the valve - closing device on the valve of the toilet water inlet pipe, ensure that the support feet of the metal steering wheel 403 clamp the valve, fix the buckle 3 on the pipeline, and adjust the length of the adjustment rod 2.

[0046] Detector installation: Since the floor of the commercial toilet is tiled, drill holes at appropriate positions on the tiles using an electric drill, and fix the detector probe 501 to the tiles with expansion screws to ensure good contact between the probe and the ground.

[0047] Power connection and testing: Connect the adapter 6 to the power supply of the relay group 4, open the toilet water inlet valve, and simulate a water leak in the toilet water pipe. Observe whether the automatic closing function of the valve closing device, the alarm buzzer 407 and the alarm light 408 alarm functions are normal. After the test is completed, handle the simulated water leak situation and restore the normal use of the toilet.

[0048] Workflow: During the daily use of the commercial toilet, the detector monitors the ground in real time. When a water leak is detected, the signal is transmitted to the relay group, triggering the automatic closing of the valve and the alarm action. If it is necessary to close the water gate in case of a power outage, the valve can be closed manually by extracting the device. If the detector has a malfunction such as a false alarm, solve it according to the corresponding malfunction handling method.

[0049] The above describes the present invention and its implementation manners. This description is not restrictive. What is shown in the drawings is only one of the implementation manners of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Generally speaking, if those of ordinary skill in the art are inspired by it and design a structural manner and an embodiment similar to the technical solution without creative efforts without departing from the purpose of the present invention, they shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
