[0010] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

Thus, the features defined as "first", "second", and "third" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present disclosure, the meaning of "multiple" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined. All directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present disclosure are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication also changes accordingly. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but optionally also includes steps or units that are not listed, or optionally also includes other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0012] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. The appearance of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0013] In the prior art, in the context of IoT (Internet of Things), an automated control system refers to a system built by integrating a series of hardware and software components such as sensors, actuators, microprocessors, network communication technologies, and artificial intelligence algorithms. The system can realize intelligent management and control of various devices and services in homes, offices, and even urban environments.

[0014] Specifically, the automation control system is interconnected through multiple devices to form a huge interconnected network. Based on sensor data, the system can perceive environmental changes or user behavior in real time to automatically adjust the status of the device according to preset rules or AI algorithms.

[0015] The basic logic of the automation control system includes:

[0016] Step S1: Data collection and monitoring. The automated control system collects environmental information or equipment status information through sensors, monitors and converts various collected signals into electrical signals or digital signals.

[0017] Step S2: Data processing and analysis, the collected data is transmitted to the processor in the control system for processing. Here, the data may be pre-processed (such as filtering or correction), and then analyzed according to a preset algorithm or model to identify the current state, trend or anomaly.

[0018] Step S3: Decision making and decision execution. The software in the automated control system makes decisions based on the analysis results, and the control system sends instructions to the actuator to perform the necessary actions.

[0019] Step S4: Feedback and closed-loop control. To ensure that the operation is carried out as expected, the automation control system usually adopts a closed-loop control mechanism. This means that the automation control system will monitor the execution results through sensors again and compare the actual results with the target values. If there is a deviation, the control system will adjust its output instructions according to the deviation, forming a cycle of continuous adjustment until the desired state is achieved or maintained.

[0020] Through the structure of the above-mentioned automatic control system, an automatic control system can be formed between multiple intelligent devices to realize automatic control of intelligent devices.

[0021] See also Figure 1 The present disclosure provides an automated control system 100, which is applied to a scene including at least a pool 10, wherein the scene includes at least one of other scenes such as a courtyard scene, a park scene, and a hotel scene. In this embodiment, the pool 10 may be a swimming pool located in a courtyard scene.

[0022] The automation control system 100 includes at least a first working system 20 and a communication system 30. The communication system 30 is used to realize communication between various devices in the automation control system 100. It may also include a second working system 40, a third working system 50, a fourth working system 60, a fifth working system 70, a sixth working system 80, a seventh working system 90, an eighth working system 101, and a ninth working system 102.

[0023] The first working system 20 is used to monitor and process the water quality of the pool 10 , and can be disposed inside the pool 10 or around the pool 10 .

[0024] The second working system 40 is used to monitor and adjust the water temperature of the pool 10 , and can be disposed inside the pool 10 or around the pool 10 .

[0025] The third working system 50 is used to supply power to various devices in the automation control system 100, such as solar energy, and can be arranged inside or around the pool 10, and can be a wireless charging device or a wired charging device.

[0026] The fourth working system 60 is used to facilitate users to take a shower, and can be arranged around the pool 10 for users to use.

[0027] The fifth working system 70 is used to provide shade for the pool 10 and users, and can be arranged around the pool 10, such as a skylight, or completely surround the pool 10, such as a sun room.

[0028] The sixth working system 80 is used to illuminate the pool, and can be arranged around the pool 10, such as a street lamp, or arranged inside the pool 10, such as a wall lamp.

[0029] The seventh working system 90 is used to monitor and handle drowning and intrusion problems in the pool 10, and can be set inside the pool 10, such as a rescue circle, or can be set around the pool 10, such as a fence.

[0030] The eighth working system 101 is used to provide users with pool applications, such as entertainment activities, and can be arranged inside the pool 10, such as an underwater speaker, or around the pool 10, such as a projection screen.

[0031] The ninth working system 102 is used to provide other health services for users, and can be set inside the pool 10, such as health monitoring equipment, or can be set in application software, such as in-pool health monitoring software.

[0032] Among the above-mentioned multiple working systems, each working system can be set up separately or integrated, can be set up in a fixed position, or can be set up on a mobile device. Each working system can work independently, or multiple systems can interact with each other. For example, when the first working system 20 detects that the water quality of the pool 10 is unhealthy, the lighting in the sixth working system 80 can prompt the water quality problem; for example, the third working system 50 can provide hot water for the fourth working system 60 by converting solar energy into thermal energy, so that the interaction between multiple working systems is close, further improving the degree of automation.

[0033] Please continue reading Figure 1 In one embodiment, the first working system 20 includes at least a water quality monitoring device 201 and a water quality treatment device 202, which are used to monitor and manage the water quality of the pool 10 in the courtyard.

[0034] The water quality monitoring device 201 is used to monitor the water quality information in the pool 10, and determine whether to clean the water in the pool 10 according to the water quality information. The water quality information includes at least one of pH value, residual chlorine content, turbidity, dissolved oxygen or temperature.

[0035] The water quality treatment device 202 is used to treat the water quality in the pool 10 when the water quality monitoring device 201 determines that the water quality in the pool 10 needs to be cleaned. In one embodiment, the water quality treatment device 202 at least includes a device that moves in the pool 10, such as a pool robot.

[0036] In one embodiment, the water quality treatment device 202 may directly process the water quality without obtaining water quality information, for example, processing the water quality according to a preset time interval, according to current water quality treatment requirements, etc.

[0037] The above-mentioned automated control system 100 monitors the water quality information in the water pool 10 in real time through the water quality monitoring equipment 201 in the first working system 20. The water quality treatment equipment 202 can perform corresponding treatment on the water in the water pool 10 according to the real-time monitored water quality information to improve the water quality health of the water pool 10. The communication system 30 can transmit the water quality information to other devices so that other devices can determine whether to perform other treatments on the water pool 10, thereby improving the degree of automation within the entire scene working system.

[0038] In one embodiment, the water quality monitoring device 201 includes a plurality of water quality sensors, which can detect the water quality information of the pool 10 in real time. The water quality sensors transmit the detected water quality information to the water quality treatment device 202, so that the water quality treatment device 202 treats the pool 10 according to the water quality information. For example, when the residual chlorine content is too low, the chlorination device is automatically controlled to work.

[0039] In one embodiment, the water quality monitoring device 201 can set a threshold range for water quality information. When the detected water quality information is not within the threshold range, the water quality monitoring device 201 can sound an alarm to prompt the user to handle the pool 10 in a timely manner.

[0040] In one embodiment, the communication system 30 includes a mobile terminal 301, and the user can check the water quality information at any time through the mobile terminal 301. At the same time, when the detected water quality information is not within the threshold range, the alarm information of the water quality monitoring device 201 can be transmitted to the mobile terminal 301, so that the user can receive the water quality information of the pool 10 in time, so as to process the pool 10.

[0041] Please continue reading Figure 1In one embodiment, the first working system 20 also includes a water quality analysis device 203, which is connected to the water quality monitoring device 201, and is used to receive water quality information detected by the water quality monitoring device 201, and obtain the regular change trend of water quality based on the received water quality information analysis, so as to optimize the cleaning process and use strategy of the water quality treatment device 202 according to the change trend of water quality, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving the degree of automation.

[0042] In one embodiment, the water quality treatment equipment can clean the water quality in the pool 10 by chemical treatment. For example, the water quality treatment equipment 202 includes a reagent spreading machine, which puts reagents into the pool 10 to achieve the purpose of cleaning the water quality in the pool 10, or puts reagents in equipment such as sand tanks, pool robots or base stations, so that the sand tanks, pool robots or base stations can also achieve the purpose of cleaning the water quality while working in the pool 10.

[0043] The reagent spreading machine is also used to determine the type and amount of reagent to be added to the pool 10 according to the volume of water in the pool 10 and water quality information, so that the added reagent can be evenly, quickly and accurately released in the pool 10, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the pool 10. For example, if the residual chlorine content is detected to be low, the reagent spreading machine automatically adds a certain amount of disinfectant (such as chlorine tablets or sodium hypochlorite) to the pool 10; if the pH value is high or low, the reagent spreading machine automatically adds a corresponding amount of pH regulator to the pool 10.

[0044] In one embodiment, the reagent spreading machine can evenly put the mixed reagent into the pool 10 during the process of cleaning the water quality in the pool 10 by chemical treatment. After the reagent is put in, the water quality is monitored again by the water quality monitoring device 201 to evaluate the effect of the water quality treatment. If the treated water quality is still outside the threshold range, the formula or dosage of the reagent can be adjusted to put the reagent into the pool 10 for the second time. Through the above settings, the reagent spreading machine can efficiently and intelligently complete the purpose of water quality improvement and treatment according to the actual conditions of the pool 10, and improve the degree of automation.

[0045] In another embodiment, the sand cylinder is used to perform at least one of filtering treatment and water circulation treatment on the water in the pool 10. In the process of cleaning the water quality in the pool 10 by chemical treatment, the reagent can be added through a metering pump installed on the water outlet pipe of the sand cylinder, and the reagent is injected into the pump, and the pump will evenly add the reagent to the circulating water flow at a set rate. Or the prepared liquid medicine is evenly sprinkled into the pool, and then the circulation system is turned on to allow the liquid medicine to be fully distributed to achieve the effect of cleaning the pool 10. It is understandable that when the sand cylinder is required to add reagents to the pool 10, the sand cylinder only turns on the water circulation function to reduce the risk of filtering out the added reagents when the sand cylinder turns on the filtering function.

[0046] In another embodiment, while the pool robot is cleaning the water in the pool 10 by chemical treatment, the pool robot can drop reagents while moving in the pool 10 to disinfect the pool 10, so that the reagents can be released into the pool 10 evenly and efficiently, thereby improving the efficiency of dropping reagents.

[0047] Of course, in other embodiments, the type and volume of the reagent may be determined manually, and the corresponding volume of the reagent may be placed in a reagent spreading machine, which then releases the reagent into the water pool 10 .

[0048] In one embodiment, the water treatment equipment 202 includes two or three of a reagent spreading machine, a sand tank, and a pool robot.

[0049] In one embodiment, the calculation of the volume of water in the pool 10 includes but is not limited to the following two methods:

[0050] First, the pool robot is equipped with a depth sensor, such as a pressure sensor, a sonar sensor, etc. The depth sensor determines the depth information of the robot's location by measuring static pressure, and the sonar sensor measures the water depth by emitting sound waves and receiving the signal reflected from the bottom of the water. The pool robot moves in the pool 10, continuously collecting water depth data at different locations, and combining its own positioning information to construct a three-dimensional topographic map of the pool 10. The effective volume of the liquid in the pool is then calculated by the controller of the pool robot.

[0051] Second, a water level sensor is installed in the pool 10. When the length and width of the pool 10 (in this embodiment, the pool 10 is a regular rectangular pool 10) are known, the current water volume can be calculated based on the current water level height (H) given by the water level sensor and the size of the pool 10. For example, for a rectangular pool 10, if the current water level height is H, the water volume V = L×W×H. Where L is the length of the pool 10 and W is the width of the pool 10.

[0052] In one embodiment, the water treatment device 202 can clean the water in the pool 10 by physical treatment. For example, the water treatment device 202 includes a sand tank and a pool robot to clean the water in the pool 10.

[0053] Among them, in one embodiment, during the process of cleaning the water quality in the pool 10 by physical treatment, the sand cylinder can filter the pool 10 regularly or according to the water quality conditions, and the water quality conditions are provided by the water quality parameters detected by the water quality monitoring device 201. Since the sand cylinder is filled with a sand layer of specially treated quartz sand or other filter materials, the water to be treated in the pool 10 passes through the sand layer in the sand cylinder under the pumping of the water pump, and the tiny gaps between the sand particles will intercept the particles, algae and other tiny suspended substances in the water. The sand layer not only plays a physical interception role, but also the surface of the sand particles can absorb some soluble organic matter and heavy metal ions to further purify the water quality. The water filtered by the sand layer rises to the top of the sand cylinder and then returns to the pool 10, achieving the purpose of water quality treatment of the pool 10 and improving the water quality treatment efficiency.

[0054] In another embodiment, when the sand tank performs water circulation operation on the water pool 10 , it can be determined whether to drain or add water to the water pool 10 according to the water level in the water pool 10 .

[0055] In one embodiment, the sand cylinder itself also needs to be processed. When the sand cylinder is self-cleaned, it is generally backwashed by changing the direction of the water flow, that is, the water is allowed to impact the sand layer from the top of the sand cylinder downward, so that the dirt trapped on the sand layer is loosened and discharged with the wastewater. After the backwashing is completed, the system readjusts the direction of the water flow to restore the normal filtering process, and the sand cylinder enters the water quality cleaning treatment stage again. Specifically, the water pressure inside the sand cylinder can be detected to determine whether to backwash the sand cylinder. Through the self-cleaning mechanism of the sand cylinder, the sand cylinder can effectively maintain its own working efficiency and ensure long-term and stable purification of the water quality.

[0056] In another embodiment, the pool robot can clean the pool 10 comprehensively according to the planned cleaning path while cleaning the water in the pool 10 by physical treatment, that is, the pool robot can clean the bottom, surface, wall or suspended in the water. The pool robot is provided with a cleaning component, so that when the pool robot walks in the water, the cleaning component cooperates with the water pump to suck water into the filter box inside the machine to filter debris and floating dust contained in the water, so as to ensure that every corner of the pool 10 can be effectively cleaned. The pool robot is provided with a replaceable or refillable water treatment reagent kit. When the pool robot moves in the pool, according to the signal for water treatment received by the controller, the control mechanism controls the reagent kit to spread the water treatment reagent, thereby treating the water.

[0057] After each cleaning or working for a period of time, the pool robot can automatically perform a simple self-cleaning procedure, such as reversing the brush head to remove residues adsorbed on it to avoid secondary contamination, or reversing the water pump to generate a water flow opposite to the cleaning process, thereby backwashing the filter, achieving self-cleaning of the filter and improving the intelligence of the pool robot.

[0058] In one embodiment, when the pool robot's cleaning work is finished or needs to be charged, the pool robot can move to a specific location, such as a charging base station, to wait for the next task or complete charging before working. When the power of the pool robot is lower than a preset threshold, the pool robot can autonomously find a charging base station for charging through a built-in low-power detection system. The pool robot can be connected to the mobile terminal 301 so that the user can view or operate the pool robot. The charging process of the pool robot may include automatically returning to the base station for charging and the user moving the pool robot to the base station for charging.

[0059] In one embodiment, a charging base station can be set in the pool, such as the side wall, bottom or shore, and when the power of the pool robot is lower than a preset threshold, the pool robot starts to return to the station. The charging base station can be a wireless charging base station, that is, a first wireless charging coil is set on the base station, a second wireless charging coil is set on the pool robot, and the pool robot and the base station are respectively provided with mutual sensing devices to confirm each other's position and docking position through information exchange. When the second wireless coil of the pool robot establishes an electrical connection with the first wireless charging coil of the base station, the pool robot docks to the base station and starts charging.

[0060] In one embodiment, the base station can be set on the side wall of the pool or at the waterline. When the pool robot needs to return to the base station for charging, it can walk to the height position of the base station on the side wall, and then move along the side wall until the base station is detected and docking and charging are completed.

[0061] In one embodiment, the automation control system 100 further includes a cleaning robot, which can process the debris discharged by the pool robot outside the pool 10, and improve the degree of automation through the linkage between robots. Among them, the cleaning robot includes a sweeping robot, a weeding robot, a garbage collection base station, etc.

[0062] Please continue reading Figure 1 In one embodiment, the pool robot and the base station are used to monitor and process the water quality of the pool. The pool robot can be used as a water quality monitoring device 201 for water quality monitoring, and the base station can be used as a water quality treatment device 202 for water quality treatment.

[0063] Specifically, the pool robot is deployed in the pool 10 that needs to be monitored. The pool robot has multiple sensors that can detect various water quality information such as water temperature, pH value, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity, etc. in real time. The pool robot automatically cruises in the pool 10 according to a preset path, collects water quality information and transmits it to the base station located around the pool 10 in real time through wireless communication. After receiving the water quality information, the base station analyzes the water quality according to the preset processing standards and algorithms, and determines whether it is necessary to start the water quality treatment process. If the water quality does not meet the standards, the base station activates the water quality treatment process, such as filtration, disinfection or adjustment of the pH value, to ensure that the water quality in the pool 10 is continuously improved and maintained.

[0064] In another embodiment, the base station can be used as a water quality monitoring device 201 for monitoring water quality, and the pool robot can be used as a water quality treatment device 202 for treating water quality.

[0065] Specifically, the base station can be set around the pool 10, and the base station has a water quality monitoring system that can continuously monitor water quality parameters. When the base station detects that there is a problem with the water quality of the pool 10, it can control the pool robot to go to the pool 10. The pool robot can treat the water in the pool 10 by physical filtration or adding reagents; in one embodiment, after the water quality treatment is completed, the pool robot can also return to the base station for charging and maintenance, waiting for the next cleaning task.

[0066] In another embodiment, the pool robot can simultaneously serve as a water quality monitoring device and a water quality treatment device that combines the functions of water quality monitoring and water quality treatment.

[0067] Specifically, the pool robot not only has a water quality sensor, but also has a water quality treatment unit, such as a disinfection, filtration, and reagent delivery device. The pool robot conducts autonomous inspections in the pool 10 and monitors water quality changes in real time. Once it is found that the water quality information deviates from the threshold range, the corresponding water quality treatment process is immediately started, such as eliminating bacteria and viruses in the pool 10 through disinfection, removing suspended matter in the pool 10 through filtration, or automatically delivering a pH regulator according to the pH value. The pool robot with integrated monitoring and processing can achieve rapid response and precise management of water quality problems in the pool 10, ensuring that the water quality is always in good condition.

[0068] In one embodiment, the water quality monitoring device 201 and the water quality treatment device 202 may include any one of the above embodiments.

[0069] Please continue reading Figure 1 In one embodiment, the automation control system 100 further includes a second working system 40, which includes at least a temperature monitoring device 401 and a temperature regulating device 402, which can maintain the water temperature of the pool 10 within a safe range.

[0070] Among them, the temperature monitoring device 401 is used to monitor the temperature in the water pool 10. The temperature monitoring device 401 includes a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor can be a resistive type (such as a thermistor), a thermocouple or an infrared type. The temperature monitoring device 401 can measure the temperature change of the water in the water pool 10 in real time and accurately, obtain the temperature value and transmit the temperature value to the temperature regulating device 402.

[0071] The temperature regulating device 402 is used to regulate the temperature of the water in the pool 10. The temperature regulating device 402 includes an electric heater, a gas heater, a heat pump and solar energy. The temperature monitoring device 401 can set a preset temperature value. When the detected water temperature is lower than the preset temperature value, the temperature regulating device 402 is controlled to heat the pool 10 until the water temperature reaches the standard.

[0072] In one embodiment, the temperature regulating device 402 can adjust the temperature of the water pool 10 to a temperature suitable for the human body, a temperature set according to user habits, or a temperature suitable for the reagent to take effect after the reagent is added, thereby improving the reliability of the second working system 40 in controlling the temperature of the water pool 10.

[0073] In one embodiment, the temperature regulating device 402 regulates the water temperature of the pool 10 by using a heat pump to heat the pool 10 or adding water heated by a solar water heater into the pool 10 for blending.

[0074] In one embodiment, the temperature monitoring device 401 has a user interface, allowing the user to set the target temperature and view the current water temperature status.

[0075] In one embodiment, the temperature monitoring device 401 and the temperature regulating device 402 can be connected to the mobile terminal 301 through a network connection, so that the user can remotely monitor and adjust the temperature of the pool 10 through the mobile terminal 301, thereby improving the convenience of user use.

[0076] Please continue reading Figure 1 In one embodiment, the automation control system 100 also includes a third working system 50, and the third working system 50 includes a solar device 501, which is used to power the equipment in the automation control system 100 to save electricity and improve the endurance of the automation control system 100.

[0077] In one embodiment, the solar device 501 can be installed in the courtyard, converting the received solar radiation into electrical energy, and storing the collected electrical energy in a battery or supercapacitor for power supply at night or on rainy days to ensure continuous energy supply. The electrical energy collected by the solar device 501 can be automatically distributed to various devices connected to the solar device 501, such as powering the water quality monitoring device 201, the water quality treatment device 202, the temperature monitoring device 401 and the temperature adjustment device 402, thereby realizing the purpose of intelligent and efficient energy recycling.

[0078] In one embodiment, the solar device 501 can be separately installed in any device in the automation control system to supply power to the device alone or to supply power to a device connected to the device.

[0079] It is understandable that, according to changes in light intensity, the third working system 50 can automatically adjust the collection efficiency of the solar energy device and the power output of the electrical equipment, for example, charging the energy storage device first when the light is sufficient, and reducing the power consumption of non-essential equipment when the light is insufficient.

[0080] In one embodiment, the solar device 501 includes a solar water heater, which is used to heat water, so that the temperature regulating device 402 can flow the water heated by the solar water heater into the pool 10 to regulate the water temperature of the pool 10 and optimize the utilization efficiency of solar energy.

[0081] In one embodiment, the solar device 501 can be installed on the pool cover of the pool, or on a pool robot, or in an area of ​​the courtyard where the light intensity is high or the light duration is long, etc. At the same time, a corresponding control mechanism can also be set to control the solar device 501, for example, to control its opening or retracting, control its rotation, etc.

[0082] Please continue reading Figure 1 In one embodiment, the automation control system 100 also includes a fourth working system 60, which includes a shower device 601, which can be connected to the hot water supply end of the pool 10, so that the user can use hot water with the same water temperature as the pool 10 for showering, thereby improving the convenience and comfort of the user when using the shower device 601.

[0083] In one embodiment, the shower device 601 may be connected to a solar water heater, which provides hot water for the shower device 601, thereby optimizing the utilization efficiency of solar energy.

[0084] Please continue reading Figure 1 In one embodiment, the automatic control system 100 further includes a fifth working system 70, which includes a first sunshade mechanism 701 and a second sunshade mechanism 702.
