Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention discloses a method for handling and managing liquids falling from the air using a tipping bucket, applicable to fields related to liquids. Current definitions of liquids do not cover the large quantities of objectively existing liquids falling from the air. This invention incorporates liquids falling from the air into the definition of liquids and transforms the tipping bucket's objective function of measuring the volume of liquids falling from the air into a method for handling and managing such liquids. Background Technology
[0002] The current definition of liquid is as follows: Liquid is one of the three states of matter. It has no definite shape and is often affected by the container. However, its volume remains constant under constant pressure and temperature. Furthermore, the pressure exerted by a liquid on the edge of its container differs from that of other states of matter. This pressure is transmitted in all directions, not decreasing but increasing with depth (the reason why water pressure is greater the deeper the water). It does not involve the large amount of objectively existing liquid outside the container, which, unlike the liquid inside the container, is essentially weightless liquid falling through the air. Most current methods related to liquids are only applicable to liquids inside containers and may not be effective in handling and managing liquids falling through the air. Tap water is the most common liquid. Except for seeping into nearby walls and soil, it leaves the water supply system by falling through the air. This includes normal wastewater and sewage, as well as water wasted in abnormal situations, such as water spilled from a tap left running, excessively long showers, overflows from high water levels, and leaks from broken pipes or containers. These liquids falling through the air need to be treated in the sewer system, which seems simple but presents many problems. For example, many bathroom fixtures have drain hoses that are inserted into the floor as branch pipes, creating a gap between the hose and the branch pipe, allowing sewer gas to escape. Most modern drains use traps, which cannot prevent sewage backflow or keep out insects like cockroaches and moths. The occasional presence of water on the floor inevitably leads to the trap drying out, causing sewer gas to pollute the indoor environment. Some drains use flap check valves, where the bearings are located on both sides of the flap. Wastewater containing impurities can come into contact with and contaminate the bearings. The flap is flat and lacks water retention; at low flow rates, it cannot open, allowing water to seep through the gap between the flap and the outlet pipe, while impurities remain, causing blockages and affecting the mechanical seal performance. In the petrochemical industry, the extensive use of liquid chemical materials often results in leaks and overflows, leading to even greater losses, environmental pollution, and even serious accidents such as poisoning, combustion, and explosions. Therefore, scientific methods for handling and managing liquids falling from the air are essential. Although a single raindrop's fall time is very short, it often constitutes a considerable amount of rainfall, continuous and persistent. Container leaks result in a continuous stream of droplets or water. If a valve in a pipeline transporting high-pressure gases such as steam leaks, the leaking steam will expand and absorb heat, continuously forming droplets. Falling liquids often have definite shapes and are distinctive; for example, raindrops are streamlined, water from a faucet is a column, and waterfalls are like a curtain. People can visually identify the presence of falling liquids, estimate their flow rate and location, and thus determine if there is an anomaly. However, practice has shown that visual methods are unreliable; online sensors are needed to convert the flow rate of falling liquids into electrical signals. These sensors consist of a sensitive element and a conversion element, and the sensitive element needs to have corresponding measurement functions.However, "the rotor inside the flowmeter rotates under the pressure of the flowing liquid," and "generally speaking, the object of flow measurement is the fluid flowing through pipes or ditches" (Flow Measurement Handbook, edited by Hiroo Kawada, Tsutomu Komiya, and Hiroo Yamazaki, translated by Luo Qin et al., Metrology Press, 1982). Liquid falling from the air is not a fluid flowing through pipes or ditches, and being in a state of weightlessness, it cannot cause the rotor inside the flowmeter to rotate; therefore, it is excluded from measurement. The aforementioned handbook mentions that "the method of measuring liquid volume using a tipping bucket was mastered very early on." "In Shanghai's public toilets, metal boxes are installed on the walls. Water continuously falls from the air into the boxes, filling a flushing bucket. Every so often, the bucket is emptied to flush the toilet bowl, then returns to a level position, accumulates water again, and is emptied once more. Amusement parks use buckets driven by falling water. The tipping bucket rain gauges at weather stations also measure rainwater falling from the air; the frequency of their oscillation is directly proportional to the amount of rainfall. Liquid falling into containers can potentially create high liquid levels, which can cause overflows. Therefore, high liquid levels are closely related to falling liquid and warrant attention." Summary of the Invention

[0024] According to a method for handling and managing airborne liquid using a tipping bucket, the concept of airborne liquid is incorporated into the definition of liquid, and it is hypothesized that airborne liquid is unpressurized liquid. The method also includes a single-tip bucket series of products, a double-tip bucket sensor series of products, and a feedback device. The single-tip bucket series of products includes tipping bucket check valves and tipping bucket check valve products, single-tip bucket sensors and single-tip bucket sensor products. The tipping bucket check valves and their products include insertable tipping bucket floor drains, tipping bucket floor drains with a main body, and tipping bucket connectors. The single-tip bucket sensors and their products include insertable tipping bucket floor drain type sensors, tipping bucket floor drain type sensors with a main body, and tipping bucket connector type sensors, as well as suspended single-tip bucket sensors and steam valve leakage sensors. The double-tip bucket sensor series of products includes double-tip buckets capable of sensing unpressurized liquid flow rate and high liquid level. The sensor and the dual-flipping sensor product, the dual-flipping sensor product including a toilet tank composite sensor, a drain composite sensor, an observer with a water tray, a rain sensor, a rain and water accumulation composite sensor, and a dual-flipping meter; the feedback device includes an intelligent control system with a built-in PCBA printed circuit board, a control box, a circular feedback device, an adapter-type feedback device, and a square feedback device with a pull cord and a button; the intelligent control system includes an intelligent home control system, an intelligent building control system, and various mechanism intelligent control systems; the PCBA printed circuit board includes basic circuits that can be adjusted according to different needs, and the feedback device has management capabilities, converting the received electrical signals emitted by the flipping sensor product into direct / indirect sensing signals, including alarm commands issued when an anomaly is detected. For simplicity, although both reed switches and Hall effect sensors can be used as conversion elements in sensors, only reed switches are mentioned in this document. Water is often used to represent liquids, and unless otherwise specified, a floor drain is a straight-flow DN50 floor drain with a grate. A washbasin is used to represent a washing facility, a ferrite permanent magnet is used, and the building is often a bathroom. The invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments and the orientation of the drawings, some of which are not shown in the drawings. It should be understood that the method for handling and managing falling liquids using a tipping bucket described herein is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the invention.
[0025] This invention addresses the large amount of objectively existing liquid falling from the air, defining liquid as one of the three states of matter. The shape of liquid within a container is often influenced by the container itself, but its volume remains constant under constant pressure and temperature. The pressure exerted by a liquid on the sides of a container differs from that of other states of matter. This pressure is transmitted in all directions, not decreasing but increasing with depth. Liquid falling from the air, due to weightlessness and lack of pressure, often exhibits a stable shape. This new definition of liquid clarifies that liquid falling from the air, due to weightlessness and lack of pressure, is distinct from liquid within a container. To enable independent research into its treatment and management methods, liquid falling from the air is hypothesized as an unpressurized liquid.
[0026] Figure 1The single-tipping-bucket sensor 100 includes a magnetic single-tipping bucket 110, a conversion funnel 120, and a first stainless steel shaft 101. The magnetic single-tipping bucket 110 includes a single-tipping bucket 111, two first magnets 102, a second magnet 103, and a third magnet 104. The single-tipping bucket 111 includes a water bucket 112, a first tipping bucket bearing 113, a counterweight bucket 114, and two first magnet seats 115, with the first magnets 102 pressed into the first magnet seats 115. The counterweight bucket 114 includes a second magnet seat 116 located at the bottom near one side. This case involves the right side and the counterweight 117 after the cement slurry is poured in and cured; the magnetic single-flipping bucket 110 includes an upward magnetic single-flipping bucket 118 formed by horizontally placing the second magnet 103 before the cement slurry has cured, and a lateral magnetic single-flipping bucket 119 formed by vertically placing the third magnet 104 on the second magnet base 116, pouring in cement slurry, and curing; the conversion funnel 120 includes a funnel 121, two fourth magnets 105, a square plastic-sealed reed switch 106, and a first stainless steel screw 107; the funnel 121 includes an inclined plate 122, a first funnel bearing 123, and two third magnets The iron base 124 and the water outlet pipe 125 are provided, with the fourth magnet 105 pressed into the third magnet base 124; the water outlet pipe 125 includes a first pendant plate 126 located below the inclined plate 122; the single tipping bucket 111 with the first magnet 102 pressed into it, the funnel 121 with the fourth magnet 105 pressed into it, and the tipping bucket check valve 108 composed of the first tipping bucket bearing 113, the first funnel bearing 123, and the first stainless steel shaft 101, which includes a bearing pair 128 composed of the first tipping bucket bearing 113, the first funnel bearing 123, and the first stainless steel shaft 101; when the tipping bucket check valve 108 is in a horizontal state, the... The outlet pipe 125 of the funnel 121 is inserted into the water bucket 112, so that the tipping check valve 108 also functions as the tipping water trap 109, and the magnetic mechanical seal formed by the mutual attraction of the first magnet 102 and the fourth magnet 105; a first hole 127 is added to the inclined plate 122, and the first stainless steel screw 107 passes through the first hole 127 to fix the square plastic-sealed reed switch 106 under the inclined plate 122, thus forming the conversion funnel 120; it, together with the upward magnetic single tipping bucket 118 and the first stainless steel shaft 101, constitutes the single tipping bucket sensor 100.
[0027] Liquid falling from the air forms puddles on the ground. Floor drains are accessories used to dispose of this puddles into the sewer system. It is necessary to improve upon this by using the aforementioned tipping-type check valve 108 and the aforementioned single-tip-type sensor 100. Therefore, this design follows the CJ / T186-2018 floor drain standard to design the single-tip-type sensor 100 and related single-tip-type products. The single-tip-type sensor 100 is much smaller than the flushing tipping bucket of a toilet, which meets the sensor's sensitivity requirements. However, the water capacity of the water tank 112 and the kinetic energy of the upward magnetic single-tip bucket 118 are reduced accordingly, meaning it may not return to a horizontal state after drainage. Therefore, the upward magnetic single-tip bucket 118 and the conversion funnel 120 are respectively equipped with mutually attracting first magnets 102 and fourth magnets 105. The tipping bucket check valve not only has a magnetic mechanical seal function, but also a tipping bucket trap. The tipping bucket trap is disassembled during drainage due to the tilting and swinging of the single tipping bucket, and is restored to form a water seal after drainage. Therefore, the tipping bucket check valve has the ability to handle airborne liquids, i.e., unpressurized liquids, downwards, and also to prevent the passage of fluids such as cockroaches and moths in the sewer system. Before the unpressurized liquid falls into the water, the upward magnetic single tipping bucket 118 is in a horizontal state, the outlet pipe 125 is inserted into the water bucket 112 to form a tipping bucket trap and a magnetic mechanical seal, the second magnet 103 and the square plastic-sealed reed switch 106 are at a large distance, and the single tipping bucket sensor 100 is at zero position. Unpressurized liquid falls and accumulates in the water bucket 112. When the torque of the water bucket 112 is greater than the combined torque of the attraction forces of the counterweight 117, the first magnet 102, and the fourth magnet 105, the upward magnetic single-flip bucket 118 rotates counterclockwise and tilts to pour water. The flip-type water trap 109 disintegrates, and the second magnet 103 approaches the square plastic-sealed reed switch 106. The single-flip bucket sensor 100 emits a high-level electrical signal. After the water is poured, the upward magnetic single-flip bucket 118 rotates clockwise and tends to be horizontal. The second magnet 103 moves away from the square plastic-sealed reed switch 106, and the single-flip bucket sensor 100 is at zero position. The upward-facing magnetic single-tumbler 118 continuously oscillates as unpressurized liquid flows in, pulsating out water, much like rinsing a constantly agitated sieve. This prevents impurities from accumulating on the bottom of the hopper 112. The tilting trap 109 intermittently opens and closes, and the second magnet 103 repeatedly approaches and moves away from the square plastic-sealed reed switch 106. The single-tumbler sensor 100 intermittently emits a high-level electrical signal. If the unpressurized liquid flow is large, the upward-facing magnetic single-tumbler 118 tilts to drain the water, the tilting trap 109 opens, the second magnet 103 remains close to the square plastic-sealed reed switch 106, and the single-tumbler sensor 100 continuously emits a high-level electrical signal.After the unpressurized liquid stops flowing in, the tipping bucket trap 109 is established with a water seal and a magnetic mechanical seal. The second magnet 103 moves away from the square plastic-sealed reed switch 106, and the single tipping bucket sensor 100 is at zero position. If no liquid flows in for a long time, the water in the bucket 112 will evaporate. However, as long as there is a little water between the outlet pipe 125 and the bucket 112, a water seal will function. Even if it is completely dry, the magnetic mechanical seal will still work. It can be seen that the single tipping bucket sensor not only maintains the function of the tipping bucket check valve, but also has the function of converting the unpressurized liquid flow into an electrical signal, providing digital information for managing falling liquid.
[0028] Figure 2 The insertable tipping-type drain sensor shown, configured on a drain pipe, includes an insertable tipping-type drain sensor 130, a drain pipe 131, and a rubber stopper 132. The drain pipe 131 is larger than the insertable tipping-type drain sensor 130, thus meeting flow requirements. The insertable tipping-type drain sensor 130 includes a main base 133, the single tipping-type sensor 100, and a grate 134. The main base 133 includes a first tipping seat 135, a first grate seat 136, a first drain pipe socket 137, and a first waterproof wing ring 138. The grate 134 includes a flat grate and a... Figure 2 The system includes a grate with an insertion port; the single-flipping sensor 100 and the grate 134 are respectively disposed in the first flipping base 135 and the first grate base 136; the first drain pipe socket 137 is matched with the drain pipe 131; when laying the drainage system, the relatively long drain pipe 133 is used as a drain branch pipe, and a conduit is laid. Before laying the insertable flipping drain sensor 130, the excess drain pipe 131 is removed, and a second hole 139 is drilled at an appropriate height on the drain pipe 131, near the conduit. The first drain pipe socket 137 of the main plate 130 is fixed on the drain pipe 131, and the wire of the square plastic-sealed reed switch 106 is passed through the rubber plug 132 and then placed in the second hole 139. The single tipping sensor 100 in the insertable tipping drain type sensor 130 is replaced by the tipping check valve 108 to form the insertable tipping drain, which eliminates the work related to the wires of the first plastic-sealed reed switch 106 during installation.
[0029] Figure 3 The tipping-type drain sensor shown is the tipping-type drain sensor 140, which includes a body 141, an adjustment ring 150, the single tipping-type sensor 100, the grate 134, and the rubber stopper 132; the body 141 is divided into a direct-buried body and the type shown in this example. Figure 3The main body 141 includes a second waterproof wing ring 142, a cylinder 143, a second drain pipe socket 144, and a third hole 145; the adjusting ring 150 includes a second tipping bucket seat 151, a second grate seat 152, and an adjusting pipe section 153, the adjusting pipe section 153 including a fourth hole 154; when laying the drainage system, the main body 141 is fixed on the drainage branch pipe, and a conduit is laid. The wire of the square plastic-sealed reed switch 106 is passed through the fourth hole 154 of the adjusting ring 150, then the single tipping bucket sensor 100 and the grate 134 are respectively installed on the second tipping bucket seat 151 and the second grate seat 152, then the wire of the square plastic-sealed reed switch 106 is passed through the rubber plug 132, and then placed on the main body 141. The wire is led out from the third hole 145; the adjusting pipe section 153 of the adjusting ring 150, which is equipped with the single tipping bucket sensor 100 and the grate 134, is inserted into the cylinder 143, the height is adjusted, the wire of the square plastic-sealed reed switch 106 is adjusted, cement tiles are laid, and the body-mounted tipping bucket type floor drain sensor 140 is installed; the single tipping bucket sensor 100 that can be inserted into the tipping bucket type floor drain sensor 130 is replaced by the tipping bucket check valve 108, the body 141 does not include the third hole 145, the adjusting ring 150 does not include the fourth hole 154, and does not include the rubber stopper 132, thus forming the body-mounted tipping bucket type floor drain, saving the work related to the wire of the square plastic-sealed reed switch 106 during installation.
[0030] Figure 4The suspended single-flip bucket sensor shown is a derivative of the insertable flip bucket drain sensor 130. It includes a suspended main seat 161, the single-flip bucket sensor 100, and three second stainless steel screws 162. The main seat 130 is formed by adding three first screw holes 164 to the cylindrical wall 163 of the first drain pipe socket 137. The main seat 161 is then inverted, and the single-flip bucket sensor 100 is placed inside the first flip bucket seat 135, forming the suspended bodyless flip bucket sensor 160. The suspended bodyless flip bucket sensor 160 can be used as a flip bucket overflow sensor. During installation, the first drain pipe socket 137 is used to slide the suspended bodyless flip bucket sensor 160 upwards onto the overflow pipe opening, and the second stainless steel screws 162 are screwed into the first screw holes 164 to suspend it below the overflow pipe. Normally, the magnetic single-flipping bucket 110 of the suspended, bodyless tipping bucket sensor 160 acts as a flap gate to prevent insects from entering the pool. In the event of an overflow, the magnetic single-flipping bucket 110 tilts downward, and the suspended, bodyless tipping bucket sensor 160 converts the information of water falling in the overflow pipe into a high-level electrical signal, triggering an immediate alarm.
[0031] Figure 5The steam valve leak sensor shown is the steam valve leak sensor 170, which is also a derivative of the insertable tipping-type floor drain sensor 130. It includes an upper-mounted main seat 171, the single tipping-type sensor 100, 11 bolts 172, 8 first nuts 173, and a steam valve leak sensor base 180. The upper-mounted main seat 171 is formed by adding 3 fifth holes 174 to the first waterproof wing ring 138 of the main seat 130. The steam valve leak sensor base 180 includes an upper cover 181 and a lower cover 190. The upper cover 181 includes a semi-circular cover 182, upper semi-circular rings 183 on both sides, an upper fixing edge 184, and 8 sixth holes 185. The lower cover 190 includes a flat bottom 191, lower semi-circular rings 192 on both sides, a lower fixing edge 193, and side walls 194. The lower fixed edge 193 includes a seventh hole 195 corresponding to the sixth hole 185; the flat bottom 191 includes a drip outlet 196 and three second screw holes 197; the steam valve and the flanges on both sides are surrounded by the upper cover 181 and the lower cover 190, and after aligning the sixth hole 185 and the seventh hole 195, eight bolts 172 are inserted and then fixed with the first nut 173. The steam pipe is located in the large circular hole formed by the upper semicircular ring 183 and the lower semicircular ring 192; the upper adhesive main seat 171 is reversed, and the single tipping bucket sensor 100 is placed in the first tipping bucket seat 135. Then, three bolts 172 are passed through the fifth hole 174 and screwed into the second screw holes 197, and installed below the drip outlet 196 to form the steam valve leakage sensor 170. Normally, the magnetic single-flip bucket 110 acts as a flap gate. If the steam valve and the flanges on both sides leak, the leaked steam will expand and absorb heat, forming water droplets. These droplets will then drip from the drip nozzle 196 onto the steam valve leak sensor 160, triggering an alarm.
[0032] Many bathroom fixtures have a drain branch pipe protruding above the ground. The drain hose of the bathroom fixture bends downwards to form a water trap, inserting into the drain branch pipe. Wastewater flows into the sewer, but sewer gas can escape through the gap between the drain hose and the drain branch pipe. Sometimes, forgetting to turn off the tap after turning it on, or a damaged tap, will waste tap water. Therefore, the following suggestions are made... Figure 6The tipping bucket connector type sensor 200, as indicated by the tipping bucket connector type sensor, includes a lateral single tipping bucket sensor 210 and a body 141 excluding the third hole 145; the lateral single tipping bucket sensor 210 includes a lateral magnetic single tipping bucket 119, a conversion connector funnel 220, and a first stainless steel shaft 101; the conversion connector funnel 220 includes a connector funnel 230 and a cylindrical plastic-sealed reed switch 201; the difference between the connector funnel 230 and the funnel 121 in the conversion funnel 120 is that the funnel 121 does not include the inclined plate 122 and the outlet pipe 125, but includes a flange 231, a stop 232, an insert 233, and a first reed switch seat 234; the insert 233 includes a second pendant plate located below the flange 231. 235 and second funnel bearing 236, the second funnel bearing 236 is located outside the second pendant plate 235; the first reed switch seat 234 is perpendicular to the flange 231 and is located on one side below it, which is the right side in this case; the cylindrical plastic-sealed reed switch 201 is inserted into the first reed switch seat 234; the lateral magnetic single tipping bucket 119, the conversion connector funnel 230 and the first stainless steel shaft 101 constitute the lateral single tipping bucket sensor 210, the first reed switch seat 234 is located on one side of the counterweight bucket 114, which is the right side in this case and above it; the second drain pipe socket 144 of the main body 141 is bonded to the pipe opening of the drain branch pipe, and then the lateral single tipping bucket sensor 210 is inserted to assemble the tipping bucket connector type sensor 200. The washbasin hose does not need to be bent and is directly inserted into the insertion tube 233. The wastewater from the washbasin flows into the tipping bucket type sensor 200 through the drain hose, and then flows into the sewer through the drain branch pipe. During this process, the third magnet 104 scans the cylindrical plastic-sealed reed switch 201 as the lateral magnetic single tipping bucket 118 swings. The tipping bucket type sensor 200 converts the wastewater flow information into an electrical signal. The tipping bucket type check valve 202 is composed of the single tipping bucket 111 with the first magnet 102 pressed in, the connecting funnel 230 with the fourth magnet 105 pressed in, and the first stainless steel shaft 101, and is then combined with the main body 141 to form a tipping bucket type connector.
[0033] Since the insertable tipping bucket type sensor 130 and the body-mounted tipping bucket type sensor 140 have the functions of the insertable tipping bucket type and the body-mounted tipping bucket type, for the sake of simplicity, the insertable tipping bucket type and the body-mounted tipping bucket type will not be mentioned again below, and will be collectively referred to as the drain type sensor. Similarly, only the tipping bucket type connector sensor 200 will be mentioned.
[0034] The dual-tipping-bucket sensor series includes dual-tipping-bucket sensors and dual-tipping-bucket sensor products; Figure 7 , 8The front and left views of the double-flipping sensor show the double-flipping sensor 300, which includes a double-flipping sensor base 310, double flipping buckets 320, a fifth magnet 301, a second stainless steel shaft 302, and the cylindrical plastic-encapsulated reed switch 201; combined with Figure 9 A top view of the double-flipping sensor base shows that the double-flipping sensor base 310 includes a water pipe seat 311, a left bearing 312, a reed switch seat / right bearing 313, a positioning post 314, three eighth holes 315, and a binding plate 316; the reed switch seat / right bearing 313 includes a lower right bearing 317 and a second reed switch seat 318 with a vertical opening at the top; the binding plate 316 includes protrusions 319 on both sides; the double-flipping bucket 320 is made of a plastic with a specific gravity less than water, such as polypropylene, and includes a central partition 321, two isosceles triangular sidewalls 322, a bucket bottom 323, a second flipping bucket bearing 324, and a fourth magnet seat 325. The two sides of the central partition 321 are the inner flipping bucket 326 and the outer flipping bucket 327, respectively; the fourth magnet seat 325 is located on the center line of the isosceles triangular sidewall 322; the fifth magnet 30 1. A magnetic double-flipping bucket 328 is formed by placing the second stainless steel wire shaft 302 through the second flipping bucket bearing 324 during assembly. The magnetic double-flipping bucket 328 is placed between the left bearing 314 and the right bearing 317. After the second stainless steel wire shaft 302 is inserted into the right bearing 317 from the second dry tube seat 318, the cylindrical plastic-sealed reed switch 201 is inserted into the second reed switch seat 318 to press down the second stainless steel wire shaft 302, thus forming the double-flipping bucket sensor 300. If water flows into the double-flipping bucket sensor 300 from the tube seat 311, the magnetic double-flipping bucket 328 will swing, and the fifth magnet 301 will scan the cylindrical plastic-sealed reed switch 201 back and forth. The double-flipping bucket sensor 300 will emit alternating high and low level electrical signals. If the water level rises and supports the bottom 323 of the bucket, the magnetic double-tipping bucket 328 will be in a horizontal state, the fifth magnet 301 will approach the cylindrical plastic-sealed reed switch 201, and the double-tipping bucket sensor 300 will continuously emit a high-level electrical signal. Therefore, the double-tipping bucket sensor 300 has the function of sensing the flow rate and high liquid level of unpressurized liquid. However, if the water level continues to rise, causing most of the magnetic double-tipping bucket 328 to be submerged in water, it will tilt, and the double-tipping bucket sensor 300 will be at zero position. The double-tipping bucket sensor 300, which senses the high liquid level of liquids with a specific gravity of less than 1, also includes a float that fixes the bottom 323 of the bucket to the inner tipping bucket 326 and the outer tipping bucket 327. The double-tipping bucket sensor products include toilet tank composite sensors, drainage ditch composite sensors, observers with water trays, rain sensors, rainwater and water accumulation composite sensors, and also include double-tipping bucket meters.
[0035] Figure 10 The toilet tank composite sensor 330 shown in the left view includes the double-flipping sensor 300, a water distribution tee 331, and a third stainless steel screw 303. The water distribution tee 331 includes two identical and symmetrically distributed horizontal pipe ends 332, a water distribution pipe 333, and a ninth hole 334. The ninth hole 334 is above the water distribution pipe 333. After the third stainless steel screw 303 is screwed into the ninth hole 334, it is located between the two horizontal pipe ends 332. Then, the water distribution pipe 333 is inserted into the water supply pipe seat 311 to form the toilet tank composite sensor 330.
[0036] Toilet tank components manufactured by the same company have the same overflow pipe outer diameter for their drain valves; therefore, the toilet tank composite sensor further includes, for example... Figure 11 The top view of the double-flip sensor seat with overflow pipe seat shows a double-flip sensor seat 340 manufactured according to the outer diameter of the overflow pipe and configured on the overflow pipe seat. The difference between the double-flip sensor seat 310 and the double-flip sensor seat 340 is that the double-flip sensor seat 340 includes the overflow pipe seat 341 and the water supply hose inlet 342, but does not include the binding plate 316. The toilet tank composite sensor with the double-flip sensor seat 340 configured with overflow pipe seat can be conveniently and reliably installed on the overflow pipe, and can directly provide toilets equipped with the toilet tank composite sensor 330.

[0038] In the manufacturing and logistics industries, observers equipped with the aforementioned dual-tipping sensor 300 are needed to monitor unpressurized liquids, including, for example... Figure 14The front view of the observer with a drip tray shows the observer 370 with a drip tray, which includes the double tipping bucket sensor 300, the drip tray 371, the third stainless steel screw 303, and separately configured components such as... Figure 15 The schematic diagram of the water channel shows the water channel 377; the water receiving tray 371 includes a water tray 372 and a first fixing plate 373.

Unpressurized liquid flows in from the upper inlet 386, the metering magnetic double-tilting bucket 382 oscillates, and the fourth magnet 105 scans the square encapsulated reed switch 104 during oscillation, causing the metering water flow sensor 380 to emit intermittent high-level electrical signals.
[0041] The present invention also includes receiving the electrical signal emitted by the tipping sensor and converting it into a direct / indirect sensing signal according to management needs, including a feedback device that issues an alarm when an abnormality is detected; the feedback device includes an intelligent control system with a built-in PCBA, i.e., a printed circuit board, a control box, a circular feedback device, an adapter-type feedback device, and a square feedback device with a pull cord and a button; the intelligent control system includes an intelligent home control system, an intelligent building control system, and various mechanism intelligent control systems. Figure 17 The cross-sectional view of the circular feedback device shows a circular feedback device 400, which includes a PCBA printed circuit board 410, a light-colored circular feedback device box 420 that allows sound and light to pass through, a screw 401, and a second nut 402; the PCBA printed circuit board 410 includes a thirteenth hole 411; the circular feedback device box 420 includes a box base 430 and a box cover 440; the box base 430 includes an outer bottom ring 431, an external thread 432, a wire hole 433, and a base 434; the base 434 includes an inner seat 435, two fourteenth holes 435, and two fifteenth holes 436; the box cover 440 includes an internal thread 441 and a cap 442; the screw 401 passes through the fourteenth hole 435 and the thirteenth hole 411 and is fixed to the PCBA printed circuit board 410 by the second nut 402. The adapter-type feedback device includes a light-colored adapter-type feedback device box that allows sound and light to pass through, an adapter component disposed on the inner surface, and the PCBA printed circuit board 410; the square feedback device with a pull cord and a button has the function of transmitting manual alarm and abnormal water usage feedback information via a wired means. Figure 18 The basic circuit of the feedback circuit board PCBA refers to the basic circuit on the PCBA printed circuit board 410. This basic circuit includes a microcontroller (in this case, an STC15F microcontroller), an XS1 first female connector (serving as a connector for a 5V adapter, power bank, or battery), an SW1 normally closed button, an XS2 second female connector connected to an LED1 first light-emitting diode and a BUZZER1 first buzzer, and an XS3 third female connector, an LED2 second light-emitting diode, a BUZZER2 second buzzer, and a wireless transmission module. This basic circuit is designed according to different... The feedback device may be adjusted as needed; it may employ spatial display method, spatial dimension judgment method, spatial-temporal dual-dimensional judgment method, or multi-spatial-temporal dual-dimensional judgment method as required; the spatial display method directly converts the high-level electrical signal into a directly sensed signal; the spatial dimension judgment method uses the high-level electrical signal as the basis for spatial dimension judgment; the spatial-temporal dual-dimensional judgment method, in addition to using the high-level electrical signal as the basis for spatial dimension judgment, also considers the time of high-level electrical signal emission for judgment; and the multi-spatial-temporal dual-dimensional judgment method uses more than two spatial-temporal dimensions for judgment.
[0042] If any water leak in the data center is not detected and eliminated in time, it can cause not only short circuits and equipment damage, but also incalculable serious consequences such as the loss of important data and business interruption. Therefore, it is necessary to install the aforementioned floor drain sensor, paired with a feedback unit using the spatial dimension judgment method. The wire plug of the floor drain sensor is inserted into the XS2 female plug. Normally, the magnetic mechanical seal protects the indoor environment. Once water accumulates on the floor, the floor drain sensor will both drain the water and emit a high-level electrical signal. The first LED1 and the first buzzer1 of the feedback unit will emit an audible and visual alarm, and a wireless alarm will be triggered. After the fault is cleared, the normally closed button SW1 is pressed to terminate the alarm. Floor drain sensors, also paired with the aforementioned feedback unit using the spatial dimension judgment method, should also be installed on the floors of warehouses, archives, and so-called "hard ceilings"—buildings where water accumulation only occurs under abnormal conditions. The aforementioned drain-type sensor should also be installed in the tank area. Leaking liquid will cause it to emit a high-level electrical signal, triggering an alarm from the feedback device using the spatial dimension judgment method. False alarms caused by rain must be excluded. The drain-type sensor can also be used as a drain outlet for water-cooled radiators. Before the water-cooled radiator is started, the drain-type sensor should drain water and emit a high-level electrical signal. The automatic control system cannot start the production line until it receives a high-level electrical signal of a predetermined frequency from the drain-type sensor. If the high-level electrical signal emitted by the drain-type sensor during production is lower than the predetermined frequency, an alarm will be triggered immediately. The feedback device using the spatial dimension judgment method is also used in conjunction with the suspended single-tipping bucket sensor 160, the steam valve leak sensor 170, and the observer 370 with a drip tray. To expand the observation range of the observers 370 with water trays installed on the outer walls of liquid storage tanks, dams, and below pipelines, multiple water trays 372 that are not penetrated by the eleventh hole 375 are fixed at appropriate locations. A flexible hose is fitted onto the second water supply pipe 374 and extends into the water tray 372 of the already installed observers 370 with water trays. Alternatively, the water guide ditch 377 can be fixed at an angle using expansion screws or adhesive, with its end extending onto the observers 370 with water trays. The corresponding feedback device using a spatial dimension judgment method, upon receiving a high-level electrical signal from the observers 370 with water trays, determines it as abnormal and continuously alarms; pressing the normally closed button SW1 terminates the alarm. Kitchen and bathroom floors often accumulate water; since the time for normal water use is limited, the time for water accumulation should be within an appropriate range. If there are abnormal situations such as forgetting to turn off the faucet or shower, or a broken water pipe, water will remain on the floor. Therefore, the drain-type sensor installed on the floor of these buildings should be paired with a feedback device that uses a spatial-temporal dual-dimensional judgment method. The microcontroller needs to be set with a threshold t for stopping the high-level signal. 11and continuous transmission time threshold t 12 For example, 10 seconds and 20 minutes respectively. Insert the wire plug of the drain sensor into the XS3 female connector. When there is no water on the ground, the drain sensor is at zero position. When there is water on the ground, the drain sensor will emit intermittent or continuous high-level electrical signals. When the drain sensor stops emitting high-level signals for a period of time t... 11 The microcontroller then determines that the drainage has stopped, which is normal. However, if the drain-type sensor stops sending a high-level signal for less than t... 11 The continuous high-level electrical signal acquisition time reaches t 12 If the water level is detected, an alarm is triggered. After receiving the alarm and clearing the water from the ground, the drain-type sensor stops emitting a high-level signal for a period of time t. 11 The feedback device employing a space-time dual-dimensional judgment method stops the alarm. The tipping bucket type connector sensor 200 is installed on the drain branch pipe below the washroom, implementing the same management.
[0043] For ease of description, this case only involves the water tank of a toilet that is installed and has a water supply pipe seat but no inlet valve. The binding plate 316 is secured to the outer wall of one of the inlet valve, drain valve, or overflow pipe inside the water tank using nylon cable ties. The toilet tank composite sensor 330 is fixed above the WL (working water level), and a transverse overflow hole slightly higher than the left bearing 312 is drilled in the overflow pipe. The circular feedback device 400, which is paired with the toilet tank composite sensor 330, is installed on the wall above the toilet near the sink. If an adapter-type feedback device is used, it is plugged into a socket. The feedback device employing the spatial display method can be used in conjunction with the toilet tank composite sensor 330, which simplifies management in residential bathrooms, for example. It does not include a microcontroller. The power cord plug is inserted into the first female connector of XS1, and the wire of the cylindrical plastic-sealed reed switch 201 is led out from the gap between the tank opening and the tank lid and inserted into the second female connector of XS2. When the button is pressed, the water level in the tank drops, then the drain valve closes, the inlet valve fills in, and the water flowing from the water supply pipe enters the water distribution tee 331 in a jet manner. The water blocked by the third stainless steel screw 303 and divided falls through the water distribution pipe 333. The double tipping bucket 320 swings, and the toilet tank composite sensor 330 emits alternating high and low level electrical signals. The LED1 first light-emitting diode and the BUZZER1 first buzzer of the feedback device employing the spatial display method emit intermittent sound and light that can be transmitted outwards. People judge whether downward leakage has occurred based on experience and the duration of the sound and light. The presence of overflow pipes in the water tanks proves that overflow and leakage are unavoidable. The presence of the horizontal overflow hole prevents excessively high water levels from causing the magnetic double-flip bucket 328 to tip over. When the water level in the tank reaches its maximum, the magnetic double-flip bucket 328 is in a horizontal position. The toilet tank composite sensor 330 then emits a continuous high-level electrical signal, and the feedback device using the spatial display method emits a persistent audible and visual signal, indicating that the water tank is overflowing or leaking. The toilet tank composite sensor 330, which is not designed for simplified management, is paired with the feedback device using a spatial-temporal dual-dimensional judgment method, with a set high-level signal termination time threshold t. 21 Continuous transmission time threshold t 22 For example, 5 seconds and 120 seconds. After pressing the button, the feedback device emits intermittent sound and light, and the microcontroller begins to accumulate the water intake time. Under normal circumstances, the water level in the tank usually rises to WL within 30 seconds and stops water intake, at which point the feedback device using a space-time dual-dimensional judgment method stops emitting sound and light. If the tank leaks downwards, the toilet tank composite sensor 330 continuously emits alternating high and low level electrical signals, and when t 22If the time reaches 120 seconds, the microcontroller determines it to be abnormal, and the feedback device using the space-time dual-dimensional judgment method emits a continuous audible and visual alarm, and if necessary, triggers an alarm via the wireless transmission module. If the water tank overflows or leaks, the feedback device using the space-time dual-dimensional judgment method emits a continuous audible and visual alarm. The toilet tank composite sensor 330 can also be equipped with a feedback device using a multi-space-time dual-dimensional judgment method, and an additional continuous high-level time threshold t can be set. 23 For example, 5 seconds. However, considering that the feedback device using the spatial-temporal dual-dimensional judgment method also emits a persistent audible and visual alarm signal when the water level is high, and because the upward overflow water flow is very small and the probability of occurrence is relatively low, there is no need to match the feedback device using the spatial-temporal dual-dimensional judgment method. Smart toilets with water tanks also have leakage problems. The toilet tank composite sensor 330 is installed in its water tank, and the basic circuit on the PCBA printed circuit board 410 is combined into the controller circuit, and the controller displays and alarms for leakage.
[0044] Water management in restrooms and toilets is of great significance for water conservation. In residential buildings, small businesses, and small toilets with only one or two stalls, a feedback device employing a spatial-temporal dual-dimensional judgment method can be installed. The wires of the toilet tank composite sensor 330, and if there is a urinal, the wires of the water flow sensor installed in the urinal's water supply pipe, are combined into one plug. The wires of the floor drain type sensor and the tipping bucket type sensor 200 are combined into another plug, which are then inserted into the XS2 second female connector and the XS3 third female connector, respectively. The microcontroller sets a threshold t. 11 t 12 , and t 21 t 22 In hospital wards and nursing home rooms, it is advisable to install a square feedback device with a pull cord and button in the bathroom. This device is silent and does not emit light or sound. In addition to maintaining the original manual alarm function, it will issue an alarm via wired connection when the microcontroller detects an anomaly, and will also provide data on excretion. Hotel guest room bathrooms should have a concealed, silent feedback device using a spatial-temporal dual-dimensional judgment method, which will notify the front desk via wired connection. For large toilets with multiple stalls, a wired or wireless feedback device using a spatial-temporal dual-dimensional judgment method with multiple microcontroller circuits is used. Additionally, an LED2 second light-emitting diode is installed on the toilet stall door or door frame, illuminating synchronously with the aforementioned feedback device.
[0045] Drainage ditches and sump pits are provided in underground and some ground buildings such as pipe galleries, subway stations, underground garages, and pump houses. Drill holes in the wall of the sump pit at the outlet of the drainage ditch and embed expansion nuts. Pass stainless steel screws through the sensor fixing hole 353, and fix the double tipping bucket type drainage ditch flow sensor 350 on the wall of the sump pit slightly lower than the bottom of the drainage ditch. Install the viewer 370 with a water receiving tray near the sump pit and on the ground wall of the building that may be flooded. The feedback device supporting these two sensors integrates the basic circuit on the PCBA printed circuit board 410 into a control box with a basic circuit that does not emit light and uses a multi-space-time two-dimensional judgment method. In addition to setting the stop high-level time threshold t 33 , the continuous signaling time threshold t 32 and the continuous high-level time threshold t 33 of the single-chip microcomputer in the control box, assuming they are 10 seconds, 20 minutes, and 5 seconds respectively. Insert the plugs of these two sensors into the XS2 second female socket and the XS3 third female socket respectively. If the water flow in the drainage ditch is small, it will flow into the small pool 357 due to the blocking of the weir plate 354. If the water volume in the drainage ditch is large, it will flow over the weir plate 354 and into the sump pit, and only part of the flowing water will flow into the pool 357. The water flowing out of the pool 357 passes through the round grate 361 and then through the first water pipe 364 and the pipe seat 311 into the double tipping bucket type sensor 300, and the double tipping bucket type sensor 300 immediately emits an alternating high and low level digital signal. If the stop high-level time reaches the threshold t 31 , 10 seconds, it is judged as normal; if the stop high-level time does not reach the threshold t 31 , and the continuous signaling time does not reach the threshold t 32 , it also indicates that the drainage has stopped and is normal; if it reaches the threshold t 32 , it is judged as abnormal, and the control box issues a wireless alarm and inspection is required; when the sump pit has a high water level due to a failure of the automatically started submersible pump, and the ground of these buildings also has a high water level during a flood, both of the above two sensors will emit a continuous high-level electrical signal. When it reaches the threshold t 33 , 5 seconds, the control box issues a wireless alarm, and press the SW1 normally closed button to terminate the alarm.
[0046] The feedback device using the space display method can be matched with the rain sensor and the rain and water accumulation composite sensor; the feedback device using the space display method emits intermittent sound and light indicating rain, and emits continuous sound and light indicating water accumulation; the feedback device using the space display method also includes a counting converter, which is matched with the double tipping bucket type meter 380 and directly displays the flow measured by the double tipping bucket type meter.
