Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to water tanks, and more particularly to an intelligent water-saving water tank. Background Technology

[0002] Water tanks typically serve as a water transfer station for toilets and similar appliances, storing water and providing a large flow of water for short periods, thus controlling water flow and promoting water conservation. Existing water tanks usually consist of a tank body, inlet pipe, outlet pipe, and a manual push-button outlet valve and a float-type shut-off valve. These manual push-button outlet valves and float-type shut-off valves have a high failure rate, and over time, the seal between the valve body and the tank deteriorates. If a malfunction or poor sealing occurs, the water tank will leak without any alarm. In areas with low foot traffic, such as scenic spots and rural toilets, if repairs are not timely, large amounts of water will accumulate on the floor, potentially causing water damage. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides an intelligent water-saving water tank, the main purpose of which is to solve the problems mentioned above.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An intelligent water-saving tank includes a tank body, a bottom tank, a water level monitoring module, a proximity sensor, an alarm, a hydroelectric generator, an upper intelligent water valve, a lower intelligent water valve, and a processor. The upper and lower parts of the tank body are respectively equipped with an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe. The upper and lower intelligent water valves are respectively installed on the inlet and outlet pipes. The water level monitoring module is installed inside the tank body. The alarm, proximity sensor, and processor are all installed on the outside of the tank body. The hydroelectric generator is installed on the inlet pipe and is located downstream of the upper intelligent water valve. The bottom tank is movably installed at the bottom of the tank body, with its upper part fitting over the bottom of the tank body. A gap exists between the inner side of the bottom tank and the outer side of the bottom of the tank body. The processor is electrically connected to the water level monitoring module, the alarm, the hydroelectric generator, the upper intelligent water valve, the lower intelligent water valve, and the proximity sensor.

[0006] The bottom of the housing is concave to form a receiving cavity, in which a connecting seat is installed. The connecting seat has through holes running through its middle, both at the top and bottom. A spring mounting cavity with a larger diameter than the lower hole is formed on the upper side of the through hole. A buffer spring is installed in the spring mounting cavity, and the outer diameter of the buffer spring is larger than the inner diameter of the lower side of the through hole. A connecting post is provided in the middle of the top surface of the bottom groove. A limiting head is connected to the top of the connecting post, and the outer diameter of the limiting head is larger than the outer diameter of the buffer spring. The upper end of the connecting post passes through the through hole and the buffer spring. The bottom surface of the limiting head is located above the top of the buffer spring. The bottom groove can move up and down relative to the connecting seat. A water outlet is provided at the bottom of the bottom groove.

[0007] The top of the bottom groove is provided with multiple guide posts, and the connecting seat has multiple guide holes corresponding to the guide posts through it. The guide posts can be movably sleeved on the guide holes.

[0008] The water outlet is connected to the water outlet pipe via a connecting pipe. The connection point between the connecting pipe and the water outlet pipe is located downstream of the lower intelligent water valve and below the water outlet.

[0009] The water level monitoring module includes an upper water level sensor and a lower water level sensor, which are respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of the tank. Both the upper and lower water level sensors are electrically connected to the processor.

[0015] Reference Figure 1A smart water-saving tank includes a tank body 1, a bottom tank 2, a water level monitoring module 3, a proximity sensor 4, an alarm 5, a hydroelectric generator 6, an upper smart water valve 7, a lower smart water valve 8, and a processor 9. An inlet pipe 10 and an outlet pipe 11 are respectively installed on the upper and lower parts of the tank body 1. The upper smart water valve 7 and the lower smart water valve 8 are respectively installed on the inlet pipe 10 and the outlet pipe 11. The water level monitoring module 3 is installed inside the tank body 1, while the alarm 5, proximity sensor 4, and processor 9 are all installed on the outside of the tank body 1. The hydroelectric generator 6 is installed on the inlet pipe 10 and is located downstream of the upper smart water valve 7. The bottom tank 2 is movably installed on the bottom of the tank body 1, with the upper part of the bottom tank 2 fitting over the bottom of the tank body 1, and a gap existing between the inner side of the bottom tank 2 and the outer side of the bottom of the tank body 1. The processor 9 is electrically connected to the water level monitoring module 3, the alarm 5, the hydroelectric generator 6, the upper intelligent water valve 7, the lower intelligent water valve 8, and the proximity sensor 4.

[0016] Reference Figure 1 The tank 1 has a water storage function. A connecting bracket is installed on the side wall of the tank 1 for wall mounting. The bottom groove 2 provides protection; when the tank leaks water, the bottom groove 2 can store the leaking water, preventing it from dripping onto the floor and causing water accumulation. The proximity sensor 4 can be an infrared sensor. If it detects a person or object approaching, it transmits a signal to the processor 9, which then sends a signal to the lower intelligent water valve 8 to flush the water. Simultaneously, the water level monitoring module 3 can detect water level changes. If the water level decreases rapidly, the processor 9 controls the upper intelligent water valve 7 to open and supply water. If the water level monitoring module 3 detects frequent water level changes, the processor 9 controls the alarm 5 to sound an alarm, emit a fault message, and simultaneously close the upper intelligent water valve 7. The alarm 5 can be implemented using a buzzer or flashing alarm light. This not only achieves intelligent alarm functionality but also effectively saves water by closing the upper intelligent water valve upon detecting frequent water level changes. The water level monitoring module 3 frequently senses changes in water level and transmits the signals to the processor 9. The processor 9 then controls the upper intelligent water valve to close, which is a conventional technology. The hydroelectric generator 6 generates electricity during the water filling process through the inlet pipe 10. The electrical energy can be stored in a battery and supplied to the processor 9, the upper intelligent water valve 7, the lower intelligent water valve 8, the proximity sensor 4, the water level monitoring module, and the alarm 5. The upper and lower intelligent water valves 7 and 8 can receive signals from the processor 9 to start or stop the water flow. The processor 9 can receive and process signals from various electronic devices and control their start-up and shutdown. The inlet pipe 10 and outlet pipe 11 can be connected to external water pipes or water-using devices such as toilets to achieve water filling and flushing.

[0017] Reference Figures 1 to 4The bottom of the housing 1 is concave to form a receiving cavity 12. A connecting seat 13 is installed in the receiving cavity 12, and a mounting through hole 14 extends through the middle of the connecting seat 13. A spring mounting cavity 15 with a larger diameter than the lower hole is formed on the upper side of the mounting through hole 14. A buffer spring 16 is installed in the spring mounting cavity 15, and the outer diameter of the buffer spring 16 is larger than the inner diameter of the lower side of the mounting through hole 14. A connecting post 17 is provided in the middle of the top surface of the bottom groove 2. A limiting head 18 is connected to the top of the connecting post 17. The outer diameter of the limiting head 18 is larger than the outer diameter of the buffer spring 16. The upper end of the connecting post 17 passes through the mounting through hole 14 and the buffer spring 16. The bottom surface of the limiting head 18 is located above the top of the buffer spring 16. The bottom groove 2 can move up and down relative to the connecting seat 13. A water outlet 19 is provided at the bottom of the bottom groove 2.

[0018] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The accommodating cavity 12 can be used to install the connecting seat 13, which can be used to movably connect the bottom groove 2. The upper part of the mounting through hole 14 is a spring mounting cavity 15 for installing the buffer spring 16. The buffer spring 16 has the function of keeping the bottom groove 2 moving slowly downwards under force. The connecting post 17 of the bottom groove 2 can cooperate with the mounting through hole 14 and pass through the buffer spring 16. The limiting head 18 is located above the buffer spring 16. When the bottom groove 2 moves downwards, the limiting head 18 presses down on the buffer spring 16, causing the buffer spring 16 to slowly compress and move downwards. When the bottom groove 2 is filled with water, it becomes heavier and moves downwards slowly, compressing the buffer spring 16 and ensuring a larger space at the bottom of the bottom groove 2. When the bottom groove 2 is empty of water, the buffer spring 16 returns to its original position, and the bottom groove 2 rises. The bottom groove 2 is provided with a water outlet 19 to drain the water from the bottom groove 2. The water outlet 19 can be closed with a water plug and opened when drainage is needed.

[0019] Reference Figures 2 to 4 The bottom groove 2 is provided with multiple guide posts 20 at its top, and the connecting seat 13 has multiple guide holes 21 corresponding to the guide posts 20 passing through its upper and lower sections. The guide posts 20 can be movably fitted onto the guide holes 21. The cooperation between the guide posts 20 and the guide holes 21 ensures that the bottom groove 2 can only slide up and down after being connected to the connecting seat 13, so that the bottom groove 2 will not deflect. Reinforcing ribs are provided between the guide holes 21 of the connecting seat 13 or between the guide holes 21 and the mounting through holes 14, and reinforcing ribs are also provided between the guide posts 20 or between the guide posts 20 and the connecting posts 17.

[0020] Reference Figures 2 to 4The water outlet 19 is connected to the water outlet pipe 11 via a connecting pipe 22. The connection point between the connecting pipe 22 and the water outlet pipe 11 is located downstream of the lower intelligent water valve 8 and lower than the water outlet 19. The connecting pipe 22 allows water from the bottom tank 2 to be directly drained into the water outlet pipe 11, eliminating the need for manual drainage of water in the bottom tank 2 and preventing overflow from the floor due to excessive water accumulation. Furthermore, since the connection point between the connecting pipe 22 and the water outlet pipe 11 is lower than the water outlet 19, an inclined connection can be designed to prevent water from the water outlet pipe 11 from flowing back into the bottom tank 2.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The water level monitoring module 3 includes an upper water level sensor and a lower water level sensor, which are respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of the housing 1. Both the upper and lower water level sensors are electrically connected to the processor 9.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upper water level sensor can detect when the water tank is full and send a signal to the processor 9 to control the upper smart water valve 7 to close. The lower water level sensor can detect when the water tank is empty and send a signal to the processor 9 to control the lower smart water valve 8 to close and control the upper smart water valve 7 to open.

[0023] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the design concept of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept shall be considered as an infringement of the protection scope of this utility model.
