Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste liquid collection, and in particular to a waste liquid tank with leakage detection and automatic protection functions. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most surface water monitoring stations are equipped with corresponding waste liquid collection devices to meet the daily monitoring needs for collecting various types of waste liquids. These devices come in various forms, including collection buckets and storage tanks of different sizes, and are made of corrosion-resistant materials such as plastic and fiberglass, adaptable to the storage of different types of waste liquids. However, some monitoring stations lack effective real-time monitoring equipment for their waste liquid collection devices, making it impossible to accurately and promptly determine the waste liquid level. While some simple leak detection methods exist, such as regular manual inspections and the use of simple absorbent materials for preliminary leak assessments, these methods are often not timely or accurate enough, and cannot automatically implement effective protective measures when leaks are detected, failing to meet the safety and reliability requirements of modern equipment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can efficiently and accurately detect leaks and automatically terminate related activities to prevent greater losses. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a waste liquid tank with leakage detection and automatic protection functions, so as to solve the technical problem that the waste liquid collection device does not have liquid level detection and leakage detection functions.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A waste liquid tank with leakage detection and automatic protection functions includes a tank body with several liquid level sensors, and three grooves on the upward side of the tank body. One of the grooves is into which a pump is placed, and the pump is connected to a chamber inside the tank body through a pipe.

[0006] In addition, there are upward-extending protrusions in the grooves on both sides, with several liquid inlets at the top of the protrusions. The grooves also include water immersion sensors. When there is liquid in the groove, the water immersion sensors block the pump from pumping out liquid and prevent liquid from entering the tank.

[0007] Preferably, at least three liquid level sensors are arranged along the height direction on the side wall of the tank.

[0008] Preferably, the pump has a groove with an opening communicating with the barrel body, and a plug is inserted into the opening.

[0009] Preferably, the two raised grooves also contain a support frame, which is adapted to the shape of the grooves and the raised parts.

[0010] Preferably, the tray includes a tray that enters the groove, with a tray extension at the center of the tray. The tray extension fits over the protrusion and extends upward. The upwardly extending portion has several tube grooves corresponding to the number of liquid inlets, used to constrain the liquid inlet pipe when the liquid inlet hose is inserted into the liquid inlet.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the groove and the top of the protrusion form a height difference, wherein the bottom of the groove is located at the lower position and the top of the protrusion is located at the higher position. When there is liquid on the top of the protrusion, the height difference guides the liquid to the groove through the groove.

[0012] Preferably, the upwardly extending portion of the tray extension has a flipped section, and the flipped section forms a gap at the top of the protrusion.

[0013] Preferably, the pump is equipped with a first pipe and a second pipe, wherein the first pipe enters the tank and is also equipped with a valve, and the second pipe has a quick-connect interface.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This utility model designs special grooves at all critical locations where liquid leakage may occur in the equipment. The grooves have a certain depth and slope, and can collect leaked waste liquid, preventing the liquid from spreading randomly inside the equipment and reducing the risk of damage to the equipment and other components caused by waste liquid leakage.

[0016] 2. This utility model incorporates a water immersion sensor within the groove. The water immersion sensor can sensitively detect the intrusion of even a very small amount of liquid within the groove, and features rapid response, high sensitivity, and strong stability.

[0017] 3. After the water immersion sensor sends a leakage alarm signal, this utility model can immediately activate the pre-set automatic protection program to stop the ongoing waste discharge work, thereby effectively preventing the leakage from worsening and avoiding more serious damage to the equipment. In addition, it can also send an alarm signal in a timely manner to remind maintenance personnel to take appropriate measures. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are shown in the drawings. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.

[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0028] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] This embodiment proposes a waste liquid tank with leakage detection and automatic protection functions. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-3 The waste liquid container equipped with leakage detection includes a rectangular container body 1 with an internal chamber. Additionally, the upward-facing side of the container body 1 has three recesses: a first recess 2 and a second recess 6 of identical size, and a third recess 11 significantly larger than the first and second recesses 2 and 6. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first groove 2 has a first protrusion 3 extending upwards in the center, and the top of the first protrusion 3 has ten first liquid inlets 4 communicating with the receiving chamber. The second groove 6 has a second protrusion 7 extending upwards in the center, consistent with the first protrusion 3, and the top of the second protrusion 7 has ten second liquid inlets 8 communicating with the receiving chamber. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The third groove 11 contains a pump 12, which is equipped with a first pipe 13 and a second pipe 15. The first pipe 13 enters the receiving chamber and has a valve 14. The second pipe 15 is equipped with a quick-connect interface. The third groove 11 also has an opening into which a plug 16 is inserted. In this embodiment, three such plugs are located on the side wall of the barrel 1. Figure 3 The liquid level sensor 10 shown is used to measure the height of the liquid in the containment chamber. Further, a first water immersion sensor 5, a second water immersion sensor 9, and a third water immersion sensor 17 are respectively installed in the first groove 2, the second groove 6, and the third groove 11. These water immersion sensors can sensitively detect the intrusion of even a very small amount of liquid into the groove, and have the characteristics of fast response, high sensitivity, and strong stability. Furthermore, when the pump 12 leaks into the third groove 11, or when the first inlet 4 and the second inlet 8 leak into the first groove 2 and the second groove 6, the corresponding water immersion sensor can, after detecting the liquid, transmit an alarm signal to the pre-set automatic protection program, thereby stopping the ongoing waste discharge operation. Specifically, the power to the pump 12 and the pump unit that transports liquid into the tank 1 is cut off, preventing the pump 12 from discharging liquid outwards and stopping the liquid from entering the tank 1, thus achieving the automatic protection function.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] This embodiment proposes a waste liquid tank with leakage detection and automatic protection functions. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 4-7 The waste liquid container equipped with leakage detection includes a rectangular container body 1 with an internal chamber. Additionally, the upward-facing side of the container body 1 has three recesses: a first recess 2 and a second recess 6 of identical size, and a third recess 11 significantly larger than the first and second recesses 2 and 6. Figure 4 and Figure 4 As shown, the first groove 2 has a first protrusion 3 extending upwards in the center, and the top of the first protrusion 3 has ten first liquid inlets 4 communicating with the receiving chamber. The second groove 6 has a second protrusion 7 extending upwards in the center, consistent with the first protrusion 3, and the top of the second protrusion 7 has ten second liquid inlets 8 communicating with the receiving chamber. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 and Figure 7The third groove 11 contains a pump 12, which is equipped with a first pipe 13 and a second pipe 15. The first pipe 13 enters the receiving chamber and has a valve 14. The second pipe 15 is equipped with a quick-connect interface. The third groove 11 also has an opening into which a plug 16 is inserted. In this embodiment, there are three such... Figure 6 The liquid level sensor 10 shown is used to measure the height of the liquid in the accommodating chamber.

[0033] Similar to Embodiment 1, a third water immersion sensor 17 is provided in the third groove 11. The third water immersion sensor 17 can accurately detect whether there is leakage in the third groove 11. Unlike Embodiment 1, this embodiment also provides a trough frame 18 in the first groove 2 and the second groove 6. To further explain, the trough frame 18 includes a tray 181 that enters the first groove 2 or the second groove 6. The center of the tray 181 is a tray extension 182. The tray extension 182 fits onto the first protrusion 3 or the second protrusion 7 and extends upward. The upwardly extending part has a plurality of tube grooves 183 corresponding to the number of liquid inlets at the top of the protrusion. It should be noted that the bottom of the tube groove 183 and the top of the protrusion form a height difference, wherein the bottom of the tube groove 183 is at a lower position and the top of the protrusion is at a higher position. When there is liquid at the top of the protrusion, the liquid can be guided to the first groove 2 or the second groove 6 through the tube groove 183. In addition, the tube groove 183 can also constrain the hose fixed at the liquid inlet to prevent the hoses from tangling and knotting. Unlike Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, although the first water immersion sensor 5 and the second water immersion sensor 9 are located in the first groove 2 and the second groove 6, they are disposed within the tray 181. The advantage of this embodiment over Embodiment 1 is that personnel can collect leaked liquid using the tray 181, enabling rapid transfer of the leaked liquid. Furthermore, the upward-extending portion of the tray extension 182 is also inwardly folded, forming a gap at the top of the protrusion. This gap facilitates easy access to the tray 181, resulting in a better user experience.

[0034] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0035] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
