[0002] Urban intelligent water supply equipment includes water treatment equipment, water pumps and pressurization equipment, intelligent control system, and water storage and distribution equipment. Water treatment equipment is used to purify the raw water source, including filters, sterilizers, softeners, etc., to ensure water quality safety and hygiene. Water pumps and pressurization equipment are responsible for pressurizing and delivering the treated water to high-rise buildings or long-distance areas to ensure stable water pressure and sufficient water supply. The intelligent control system monitors the operating status of the water supply system in real time. Water storage and distribution equipment includes water tanks, water distribution pipelines, etc.

[0003] However, in urban water supply systems, it is not easy to monitor water hardness in real time. If too much softener is added, some of it will not be absorbed and will remain in the water source, potentially causing water safety issues and affecting human health. If too little softener is added, the water will harden, which may pose some health risks. Therefore, it is not easy to adjust the amount of softener added based on the degree of water hardness. To address this, we propose an intelligent urban water supply system. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 10 The present invention provides a technical solution: an intelligent urban water supply device, comprising: a storage tank 11, connecting pipes 12 on both sides of the storage tank 11, a water outlet pipe 13 on the end face of the connecting pipe 12, and a feed pipe 14 fixed to the top of the water outlet pipe 13.

[0034] A stirring component 2 is installed inside the storage tank 11. The stirring component 2 is used to add softener into the storage tank 11 and stir to mix the softener with the water source, so that sediment is produced after mixing.

[0035] The monitoring component 3 and the connecting component 4 are located at the bottom of the stirring component 2 and at the top of the monitoring component 3. The stirring component 2 drives the monitoring component 3 to operate synchronously. The thickness of the sediment is monitored by the monitoring component 3 and the connecting component 4 to determine the hardness of the water.

[0036] The flow regulating component 5 is located at the top of the outlet pipe 13. The flow regulating component 5 is controlled according to the thickness signal monitored by the connecting component 4 to adjust the flow rate of the softener. A portion of the softener is added through the stirring component 2, and the softener and water source are stirred. After the softener and water source are mixed, sediment is formed. At the same time, the rotation of the stirring component 2 causes the monitoring component 3 to rotate. The sediment presses against the monitoring component 3. The monitoring component 3 and the connecting component 4 determine the thickness of the sediment based on the pushing force of the sediment. The hardness of the water is inferred based on the thickness of the sediment, thereby regulating the flow rate of the softener added by the subsequent feed pipe 14. This makes the flow rate of the softener compatible with the water quality, which facilitates the monitoring of water hardness and the regulation of the softener flow rate.

[0037] The stirring assembly 2 includes a rotating drum 22 rotatably connected to the top of the storage tank 11. The outer wall of the rotating drum 22 has a discharge port 23. A stirring rod 24 is fixed to the bottom of the rotating drum 22. A softening agent, such as trisodium phosphate, is added into the rotating drum 22. It can combine with calcium and magnesium ions in the water to form an insoluble precipitate, thereby reducing the hardness of the water. The softening agent enters the interior of the storage tank 11 through the discharge port 23. The rotating drum 22 drives the stirring rod 24 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the stirring rod 24 stirs the mixture of powder and water that falls off the discharge port 23, accelerating the water softening process.

[0038] The top of the rotating drum 22 is fixed with a feed hopper 21, and the feed hopper 21 is configured as a funnel. The operator injects softener into the feed hopper 21. The funnel-shaped design facilitates the entry of softener into the feed hopper 21.

[0039] Gear 25 is fixed to the outer wall of the rotating drum 22, and gear 26 meshes with the side of gear 25. A rotating rod 29 is fixed to the center of gear 26. One end of the rotating rod 29 is rotatably connected to the surface of the storage tank 11, and the other end of the rotating rod 29 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of motor 27. A bracket 28 is fixed to the outer wall of motor 27, and the bottom of bracket 28 is fixed to the surface of storage tank 11. During the process of adding softener, the switch controlling motor 27 is turned on. Motor 27 drives rotating rod 29 to rotate, rotating rod 29 drives gear 26 to rotate synchronously, gear 26 rotates, driving gear 25 to rotate, and gear 25 drives rotating drum 22 to rotate synchronously, so that softener can enter the interior of storage tank 11 through outlet 23 and mix with the water inside storage tank 11 to achieve water softening operation.

[0040] The monitoring component 3 includes a monitoring cylinder 31 fixed to the bottom of the stirring rod 24, and a monitoring cavity 32 is provided inside the monitoring cylinder 31. An opening 33 is provided on the side of the monitoring cavity 32, and a push plate 34 is inserted inside the opening 33. A monitoring plate 35 is fixed to the end of the push plate 34 away from the monitoring cylinder 31. Springs 36 are fixed on both sides of the surface of the push plate 34, and the end face of the springs 36 is fixed to the inner wall of the monitoring cavity 32. When the stirring rod 24 drives the monitoring cylinder 31 to rotate synchronously, the sediment presses against the monitoring plate 35. When the monitoring plate 35 is pressed by the sediment, the squeezing force drives the push plate 34 to move synchronously. The two sets of springs 36 connected to the push plate 34 change. One set of springs 36 is in a compressed and stored state, and the other set of springs 36 is in a stretched and stored state. During the softening and sedimentation process, the thickness of the sediment is judged by the amount of pushing the push plate 34. The hardening state of the water quality is judged based on the thickness of the sediment, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the flow rate of the subsequent softening agent.

[0041] The end of the push plate 34 away from the monitoring plate 35 is slidably connected to the monitoring cavity 32 via the slider 38. The inner wall of the monitoring cavity 32 is provided with a sliding opening that cooperates with the slider 38. The slider 38 limits and guides the movement of the push plate 34, making the movement of the push plate 34 more stable.

[0042] The connecting component 4 includes a pull rope 41 that presses against both sides of the push plate 34. The bottom of the pull rope 41 is fixed to the inner wall of the monitoring chamber 32. A moving rod 42 is fixed to the top of the pull rope 41. The upper end of the moving rod 42 is inserted into the inside of the insert cylinder 43. The bottom of the insert cylinder 43 is fixed to the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 22. When the monitoring plate 35 is pressed by the sediment, the monitoring plate 35 is squeezed and drives the push plate 34 to move synchronously. After the push plate 34 moves, it pushes the pull rope 41 to move. The pull rope 41 pulls the moving rod 42 down. The moving rod 42 moves down inside the insert cylinder 43. The thicker the sediment inside the storage tank 11, the more monitoring plates 35 are squeezed by the sediment when the monitoring cylinder 31 rotates with the stirring rod 24. The more push plates 34 push the pull rope 41 to move, the longer the distance the moving rod 42 moves down, and the greater the pulling force on the moving rod 42.

[0043] A limiting block 37 is fixed on the side of the push plate 34 near the pull rope 41. The pull rope 41 is attached to the surface of the limiting block 37. The limiting block 37 limits the pull rope 41, making the push plate 34 push the pull rope 41 more stably.

[0044] The top of the moving rod 42 is fixed to the tension sensor 44, which is inserted inside the protective cylinder 45. A second spring 46 is fixed to the top of the tension sensor 44, and the top of the second spring 46 is fixed to the inner wall of the protective cylinder 45. A second bracket 47 is fixed to the outer wall of the protective cylinder 45, and the bottom of the second bracket 47 is fixed to the surface of the storage box 11. When the moving rod 42 moves down, it pulls the tension sensor 44 down. After the tension sensor 44 is pulled by the moving rod 42, the second spring 46 is in a stretched and stored state. At the same time, the tension sensor 44 monitors the pulling force of the moving rod 42 and controls the operation of the flow regulating component 5 according to the pulling force, thereby controlling the flow rate of the softener.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] The flow regulating component 5 includes a feeding port 51 located at the top of the water outlet pipe 13, with flow limiting plates 52 inserted on both sides inside the feeding port 51. A fixing plate 53 is fixed to the surface of the flow limiting plate 52, and the end face of the fixing plate 53 is fixed to the connecting plate 54. The side of the connecting plate 54 is connected to the moving plate 56 via the connecting plate 55. A screw 57 is threaded inside the moving plate 56, and one end of the screw 57 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 58. The other end of the screw 57 is rotatably connected to the fixing frame 59. The bottom of the fixing frame 59 is fixed to the surface of the water outlet pipe 13. A bracket 6 is fixed to the outer wall of the motor 58, and the side of the bracket 6 is fixed to the surface of the water outlet pipe 13. The outer wall of the fixing plate 53 is glued with... When the tension sensor 44 is subjected to a large tensile force, it indicates that the thickness of the sediment inside the storage tank 11 is relatively thick, indicating that the water hardness is high. At this time, the controller receives the signal from the tension sensor 44 and controls the second motor 58 to rotate forward. The rotation of the second motor 58 drives the screw 57 to rotate forward, and the moving plate 56 moves away from the second motor 58. The moving plate 56 drives the flow limiting plate 52 to move synchronously through the second connecting plate 55, the first connecting plate 54 and the fixed plate 53. The distance between the two sets of flow limiting plates 52 increases, and the gap of the softener entering the outlet pipe 13 through the feed pipe 14 increases, increasing the injection flow of the softener, which is convenient for softening hard water and realizing the addition of appropriate softener according to the degree of water softening.
