Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of architectural surveying technology, and more specifically, to a multi-compartment shower control system for an emergency support vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing frequency of emergencies such as natural disasters and public health incidents, emergency support vehicles, as rapid response logistical support equipment, are receiving increasing attention for their functional completeness and intelligence. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the Internet of Things (IoT), sensor technology, and intelligent control algorithms, providing technical support for the system upgrades of emergency support vehicles. For example, the miniaturization and low power consumption of high-precision temperature and humidity sensors and water quality monitoring equipment have made real-time data acquisition and analysis possible; while the optimization of adaptive control algorithms has further improved the system's responsiveness to complex environments. Against this backdrop, the shower control system of emergency support vehicles is developing towards modularity, intelligence, and efficiency to meet the emergency needs of different scenarios.

[0003] Traditional emergency vehicle shower control systems have several limitations. First, they are inefficient in space utilization; the fixed compartment design cannot be dynamically adjusted according to actual needs, resulting in wasted interior space and limiting the number of users simultaneously. Second, water temperature regulation is imprecise, relying on manual adjustment of the hot and cold mixing valve, making it difficult to quickly reach and stabilize the set temperature, impacting the user experience. Third, water resource management is inefficient, lacking an effective wastewater purification and recycling mechanism, easily leading to water supply difficulties in water-scarce emergency scenarios. Furthermore, traditional systems have low automation levels, requiring manual monitoring of various parameters, increasing operational complexity and labor costs, and making it difficult to respond promptly to emergencies.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a multi-compartment shower control system for emergency response vehicles to address issues such as low space utilization, inaccurate water temperature regulation, significant water waste, and insufficient automation in existing technologies. This system achieves dynamic space optimization through an innovative foldable compartment design; improves water temperature control accuracy by employing intelligent mixing algorithms and real-time data feedback; enhances water resource utilization by constructing a multi-stage wastewater purification and circulation system; and realizes automated monitoring and intelligent response across the entire system through integrated control modules. This significantly improves the practicality, reliability, and intelligence of the emergency response vehicle shower control system. Summary of the Invention

[0032] Furthermore, when a flow adjustment command is received from the user, the control module adjusts the water flow rate of the multi-compartment shower module, including:

[0059] Various other advantages and benefits will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the following detailed description of preferred embodiments. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, the same reference numerals denote the same parts throughout the drawings. In the drawings:

[0060] Figure 1This is a functional block diagram of a multi-compartment shower control system for an emergency support vehicle, provided as an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0061] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0062] See Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a multi-compartment shower control system for an emergency support vehicle, including: a multi-compartment shower module, a constant temperature mixing module, a water circulation module, a data monitoring module, a sanitation module, and a control module.

[0063] Specifically, the multi-compartment shower module is installed inside the carriage and adopts a modular design, providing multiple independently usable shower compartments for emergency showering.

[0064] Specifically, the thermostatic mixing module is connected to the multi-compartment shower module and is used to supply water to the multi-compartment shower module. The thermostatic mixing module mixes hot and cold water to achieve the user's set temperature.

[0065] Understandably, mixing water temperature control, by mixing hot and cold water sources in real time, can immediately output water at the set temperature, directly heating it without preheating time. In contrast, traditional heating temperature control requires waiting for cold water to heat to the target temperature, which is time-consuming. In emergency scenarios, water demand fluctuates greatly and water source temperature is unstable. Mixing water temperature control can quickly adapt to different cold water temperatures and compensate for temperature differences through proportional adjustment.

[0066] Specifically, the water circulation module is connected to the multi-compartment shower module to purify the wastewater from the multi-compartment shower module and deliver the purified water to the constant temperature mixing module, thereby realizing the recycling of water resources and reducing water consumption in emergency scenarios.

[0067] Specifically, the data monitoring module is connected to the multi-compartment shower module and the thermostatic mixing module respectively. The data monitoring module collects the water storage and temperature data of the thermostatic mixing module and the water flow and wastewater volume data of the multi-compartment shower module in real time, providing a basis for the intelligent control of the shower control system. The data monitoring module also monitors the water quality and water level data of the water circulation module in real time.

[0068] Specifically, the sanitary module is connected to the multi-compartment shower module to assist the multi-compartment shower module in ventilation or disinfection, so as to ensure the hygiene and safety of the shower environment.

[0069] Specifically, the control module is used to display the operation interface, receive shower mode commands and adjustment commands input by the user through the operation interface, and control the water outlet mode of the multi-compartment shower module and the water temperature of the thermostatic mixing module according to the commands.

[0070] Understandably, the control module integrates the control logic of all modules and provides a user interface for interaction, through which users input their shower requirements.

[0071] Specifically, when the control module receives a user's command for a quick rinse shower mode, it controls the multi-compartment shower module to start the first water outlet mode; when the control module receives a user's command for a chemical disinfection shower mode, it controls the multi-compartment shower module to start the second water outlet mode.

[0072] Understandably, the quick-rinse shower mode features high flow and short duration, making it suitable for rapid cleaning in emergency situations.

[0073] The chemical disinfection shower mode requires a specific temperature and disinfection process, and needs to be used in conjunction with the hygiene module for thorough disinfection.

[0074] Specifically, when the flow rate adjustment command is received from the user, the control module adjusts the water flow rate of the multi-compartment shower module; when the temperature adjustment command is received from the user, the control module adjusts the water temperature of the thermostatic mixing module.

[0075] Understandably, the control module adjusts accordingly based on user input commands to achieve precise temperature control and water flow regulation.

[0076] Specifically, the control module is also used to receive data information collected by the data monitoring module and control the operation of the multi-compartment shower module, the constant temperature mixing module, and the water circulation module based on the data information.

[0077] As can be seen, the modular design of the multi-compartment system allows for flexible layout according to the space of the carriage, meeting the needs of multiple people using it at the same time; the water circulation module improves water resource utilization, making it suitable for resource-limited environments in emergency scenarios; the intelligent control of the control module enhances the user experience and can quickly respond to the shower needs of different scenarios; the data detection module comprehensively monitors water temperature, water volume, and water quality to ensure stable system operation; the hygiene module provides ventilation and disinfection to reduce the risk of cross-infection in emergency scenarios; and the water circulation module reduces reliance on external water supply, making it more suitable for emergency scenarios.

[0078] As can be seen, this invention significantly improves the efficiency and reliability of emergency response through modular design, intelligent control, and resource recycling, providing a comprehensive shower solution for various emergency scenarios.

[0079] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the multi-compartment shower module includes a multi-compartment unit, a shower head unit, a drainage unit, a sliding unit, and a wastewater tank.

[0080] Specifically, the multi-compartment unit includes multiple side partitions and a front partition, which are used to form a shower room along the inner wall of the carriage; the shower head unit is used to dispense water according to the water outlet mode activated by the control module; the sliding unit includes pulleys at the bottom of the front partition and a groove on the bottom wall of the carriage, with the pulleys sliding along the groove to achieve horizontal sliding of the front partition and to adjust the opening and closing state of the shower room; and the wastewater tank is used to store wastewater discharged by the drainage unit.

[0081] Specifically, the side partitions are vertical panels hinged to the inner side walls of the compartment and can be flipped and folded around the hinge point. The front partition is a horizontal panel slidably connected between adjacent side partitions, used to enclose the front of the shower enclosure. The showerhead unit is a water outlet device installed on the top of the shower enclosure, containing an independent on / off system that can adjust the water flow according to the control module's instructions. The drainage unit collects shower wastewater and directs it to a wastewater tank for storage and subsequent purification.

[0082] Understandably, the data monitoring module collects real-time data on the water flow rate from the nozzle unit and the wastewater volume in the wastewater tank.

[0083] Understandably, the multi-compartment unit is a foldable partition structure, which makes the cabin space dynamically adjustable. When not in use, it can be folded away for storage, freeing up space for storing emergency supplies or cleaning large equipment, thus solving the problem of wasted space in traditional fixed compartments.

[0084] It can be seen that the multi-compartment shower module, through its innovative design of "foldable compartments + sliding mechanism + integrated drainage", achieves flexible deployment, efficient drainage and space reuse of shower space in emergency scenarios. It solves the problems of space waste, cumbersome operation and single function of traditional systems, and provides emergency support vehicles with a shower solution that is both practical and adaptable.

[0085] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the constant temperature mixing module includes a hot water unit, a cold water unit, a mixing tank, and a water temperature regulating unit;

[0086] Specifically, the hot water unit includes a heating device and a storage tank. The hot water unit heats and stores hot water, providing a heat source for mixing. The cold water unit stores cold water, serving as a temperature regulating medium during mixing. The water temperature regulating unit includes a hot water valve connecting the hot water unit to the mixing tank and a cold water valve connecting the cold water unit to the mixing tank. The water temperature regulating unit adjusts the water temperature in the mixing tank by regulating the opening of the hot water and cold water valves. The mixing tank stores the mixed water from the hot water and cold water units and delivers the temperature-regulated mixed water to the sprinkler unit for user use.

[0087] Specifically, when the user inputs a temperature adjustment command that is higher than the current water temperature, the water temperature adjustment unit increases the opening of the hot water valve and decreases the opening of the cold water valve to increase the proportion of hot water. When the temperature adjustment command is lower than the current water temperature, the unit adjusts in the opposite way to increase the proportion of cold water. By adjusting the opening ratio of the two valves, the water temperature adjustment unit precisely controls the flow rate of hot and cold water entering the mixing tank to achieve water temperature regulation.

[0088] Understandably, the data detection module collects real-time data on water temperature and water volume in the hot water unit, cold water unit, and mixing tank.

[0089] Understandably, by directly adjusting the hot and cold water ratio, there is no need to wait for the cold water to heat up, and water at the commanded temperature can be output directly, ensuring a stable outlet water temperature. By setting up separate hot water and cold water units, only the hot water unit needs to be kept at a constant temperature, without heating the cold water unit. When the hot water supply is insufficient, the hot water output ratio can be reduced to output water at a lower temperature. When the hot water unit fails, the hot water valve can be shut off, and only cold water can be used for showering, maintaining basic functions. The constant temperature mixing module can solve the problems of slow response, high energy consumption, and poor stability of traditional heating methods, achieving the effects of instant temperature control, energy efficiency, and strong fault tolerance in emergency scenarios.

[0090] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the control module includes a touch screen panel and a controller.

[0091] Specifically, the touchscreen panel displays the operating interface, through which users input commands. The touchscreen interface includes selection buttons for quick rinsing and chemical-resistant decontamination modes, sliders for adjusting water flow and temperature, and status indicators displaying current water volume and temperature data. The controller has a built-in control algorithm responsible for processing commands and driving each module.

[0092] Specifically, the touchscreen panel can connect to external devices, allowing administrators to remotely view the usage status and operating parameters of each shower stall using mobile phones or computer terminals, thus gaining timely insight into the operation of the shower control system. Simultaneously, it enables remote control of the shower control system's start and stop, facilitating centralized management and maintenance.

[0093] Specifically, the first water output mode is: the water flow rate is the first preset flow rate, the water temperature is the first preset temperature, and the rinsing time is the first preset duration; the second water output mode is: the water flow rate is the second preset flow rate, the water temperature is the second preset temperature, the rinsing time is the second preset duration, and disinfection is performed simultaneously.

[0094] Understandably, the first water outlet mode has a preset parameter combination of high flow rate, medium temperature, and short duration, suitable for rapid cleaning scenarios. The second water outlet mode has a preset parameter combination of higher flow rate, higher temperature, and longer duration, while simultaneously activating the disinfection function of the hygiene module. The water flow rate, water temperature, and rinsing time of the second water outlet mode are all greater than those of the first water outlet mode.

[0095] Specifically, when the control module receives a user's command for a quick shower mode, it controls the nozzle unit to output water at a first preset flow rate and a first preset temperature, and then automatically stops outputting water after a first preset duration. When the control module receives a user's command for a chemical disinfection shower mode, it controls the nozzle unit to output water at a second preset flow rate and a second preset temperature, and simultaneously activates the sanitation module to disinfect the water, and then automatically stops outputting water and disinfecting after a second preset duration.

[0096] Understandably, the touchscreen panel converts user-input commands into digital signals and sends them to the controller. Upon receiving a quick rinse or chemical decontamination command, the controller automatically controls the mixing tank and shower head unit to dispense water according to the corresponding water temperature and flow rate. After the designated water dispensing time has elapsed, the water flow automatically stops, completing the shower.

[0097] As can be seen, the control module, through its innovative design of "preset mode + intelligent execution + data feedback," simplifies complex shower control into a one-button operation, significantly improving emergency response efficiency and user experience. It automates, refines, and enhances the showering process, making it particularly suitable for emergency scenarios and providing convenient and reliable bathing protection.

[0098] See Figure 1 As shown in some embodiments of this application, when a flow adjustment command is received from a user, the control module adjusts the water flow rate of the multi-compartment shower module, including:

[0099] If the current water flow rate is less than the user-commanded flow rate, the control module increases the water flow rate of the sprinkler unit; if the current water flow rate is greater than the user-commanded flow rate, the control module decreases the water flow rate of the sprinkler unit.

[0100] Specifically, the control module is also used to preset the flow rate adjustment range, ensuring that each flow rate adjustment does not exceed the preset flow rate adjustment range.

[0101] Specifically, the preset flow rate adjustment range is the maximum allowable change value for a single flow rate adjustment built into the control module. It is used to limit the increment or decrement of each adjustment to ensure stable changes in water flow.

[0102] See Figure 1 As shown in some embodiments of this application, the step of adjusting the water temperature of the thermostatic mixing module after receiving a temperature adjustment command input by the user includes:

[0103] If the water temperature of the current outlet mode is lower than the user-instructed water temperature, the control module will increase the opening of the hot water valve and decrease the opening of the cold water valve; if the water temperature of the current outlet mode is higher than the user-instructed water temperature, the control module will increase the opening of the cold water valve and decrease the opening of the hot water valve.

[0104] Understandably, users input water flow rate and temperature commands via the sliders on the touchscreen panel, which then display specific numerical values. Upon receiving the flow rate or temperature adjustment command, the controller uses a PID algorithm to control and adjust the opening of the hot and cold water valves, as well as the water output from the shower head unit, in real time.

[0105] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the data monitoring module includes a sensor unit.

[0106] Specifically, the sensor unit is used to collect real-time data on water storage volume, water temperature, water flow rate, wastewater volume, and water quality. The sensor unit integrates components of various types of sensors, including a water level sensor: monitoring the water storage volume and water level in the mixing tank, hot water unit, and wastewater tank; a temperature sensor: monitoring the water temperature in the hot water unit and the outlet water temperature in the mixing tank; a flow sensor: monitoring the outlet water flow rate of the sprinkler unit; and a water quality sensor: monitoring the water quality data of the water circulation module.

[0107] Specifically, the control module is also used to preset the water temperature threshold of the hot water unit, the lower limit of the water volume in the mixing tank, and the water replenishment start value; the control module controls the operation of the multi-compartment shower module, the constant temperature mixing module, and the water circulation module according to the data information, including:

[0108] When the water storage capacity of the mixing tank is greater than or equal to the preset water replenishment start value, the control module controls the nozzle unit to operate normally;

[0109] When the preset lower limit of water volume is less than the water storage capacity of the mixing tank and less than the preset water replenishment start value, the control module reduces the water flow rate of the nozzle unit.

[0110] When the water storage capacity of the mixing tank is less than or equal to the preset lower limit of water volume, the control module controls the nozzle unit to stop discharging water and issues an alarm.

[0111] When the water temperature in the hot water unit is lower than the preset water temperature threshold, the control module controls the heating unit to start heating;

[0112] When the water temperature of the hot water unit reaches the preset water temperature threshold, the control module controls the heating unit to stop heating.

[0113] Understandably, the preset water temperature threshold is the minimum effective water temperature value of the hot water unit set in advance. Heating is activated when the water temperature is below this value to ensure the outlet water temperature meets the standard. The mixing tank water volume lower limit is the minimum critical water volume in the mixing tank to maintain normal system operation. Water supply is stopped when the water volume is below this value to protect the water pump. The water replenishment activation value is the water volume threshold in the mixing tank that triggers water replenishment operation. The shower head is allowed to operate normally when the water volume is above this value, and flow restriction is activated when the water volume is below this value.

[0114] Understandably, when the water storage or temperature is abnormal, the system automatically implements protective measures and alarms, shortening the fault handling time; when the external water supply is unstable, the water replenishment activation mechanism can balance water demand and resource reserves, ensuring priority water supply for chemical disinfection showers; through precise threshold control and linkage strategies, the intelligent operation and protection of the emergency shower control system are realized.

[0115] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the water circulation module includes a water storage device, a purification unit, and a circulation pump.

[0116] Specifically, the circulating pump is used to transport sewage from the sewage tank to the water storage device; the purification unit is used to purify the sewage in the water storage device into clean water; the circulating pump is also used to transport the clean water to the cold water unit and the hot water unit.

[0117] Specifically, the purification unit employs a multi-stage filtration + disinfection process to gradually remove impurities, pollutants, and microorganisms from the wastewater. The data monitoring module has preset water quality data compliance thresholds, which are all safe values ​​set according to the human body's suitable range and drinking water standards. When the data monitoring module detects that the water quality data in the storage equipment meets the standards, the circulation pump delivers the qualified purified water to the cold water unit and hot water unit, where it re-enters the water supply cycle.

[0118] Understandably, the water circulation module, through its closed-loop design of "collection-purification-return," breaks through the water resource bottleneck of traditional shower control systems, achieving efficient water conservation and hygiene protection in emergency scenarios.

[0119] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the control module is further used to preset the upper limit of the water level in the sewage tank; the control module controls the operation of the multi-compartment shower module, the constant temperature mixing module, and the water circulation module according to the data information, and also includes:

[0120] When the sewage level in the sewage tank reaches the preset upper limit, the control module controls the drainage unit to stop draining and controls the circulation pump to start to transport the sewage in the sewage tank to the water storage equipment.

[0121] When the water quality data in the water storage device meets the standards, the control module controls the circulation pump to start and deliver the purified water that meets the standards to the cold water unit and the hot water unit.

[0122] Specifically, the upper limit of the sewage tank water level is a preset threshold for the maximum safe capacity of the sewage tank. When this value is reached, drainage is stopped and the circulation pump is started to prevent sewage overflow. Water quality data includes turbidity, pH value, and microbial bacterial indicators.

[0123] Understandably, the water level sensor monitors the water level in the sewage tank in real time. When the upper limit is reached, the control module issues two commands to stop drainage: close the solenoid valve of the drainage unit to prevent shower sewage from continuing to flow into the sewage tank; and start the circulation pump to transport the sewage in the sewage tank to the water storage equipment for purification.

[0124] Understandably, when the water quality meets the standard and the water level in the cold or hot water unit is lower than the preset value, the control module starts the circulation pump to deliver purified water to the cold and hot water units.

[0125] Understandably, the closed-loop mechanism of "threshold triggering - real-time monitoring - intelligent adjustment" enables the safe and efficient circulation of water resources in the emergency shower control system.

[0126] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the hygiene module includes a ventilation unit and a disinfection unit.

[0127] Specifically, the ventilation unit is used to circulate air in the shower room, while the disinfection unit disinfects the shower room through physical or chemical methods.

[0128] Specifically, the control module is also used to receive ventilation and disinfection commands input by the user through the operation interface, and control the operation of the hygiene module according to the commands;

[0129] When a ventilation command is received from the user, the control module controls the hygiene module to start the ventilation unit; when a disinfection command is received from the user, the control module controls the hygiene module to start the disinfection unit.

[0130] Specifically, in the chemical disinfection mode, the disinfection unit simultaneously injects disinfectant, giving the effluent a disinfection function, which is then performed during showering. Upon receiving a disinfection command, the disinfection unit uses ozone and ultraviolet light for dual disinfection, performing comprehensive disinfection even when no one is showering.

[0131] Understandably, the disinfection unit can work in conjunction with the chemical disinfection shower mode to automatically assist in disinfection, or it can perform disinfection independently after receiving a disinfection command.

[0132] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the rapid rinsing mode and chemical disinfection mode of the present invention meet different emergency needs. The touch screen panel simplifies the process, and users can switch modes with one click. The water circulation module enables efficient recycling of water resources. The upper limit of the sewage tank water level automatically triggers drainage and purification to avoid the risk of overflow. The dual-mode disinfection system ensures hygiene and safety. Multi-sensor fusion monitoring is also provided.

[0133] This invention, based on traditional shower control systems, deeply integrates key digital technologies such as intelligent control, the Internet of Things, and big data. Equipped with multiple intelligent sensors, it collects real-time data on water level, temperature, flow rate, and water quality. Based on preset thresholds, it automatically adjusts the heating device and water flow valves to achieve automatic regulation of water temperature and flow, providing users with a comfortable and stable showering experience. Automatic protection is triggered in case of data anomalies, shortening fault response time and improving the safety of the shower control system.
