Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-rise water supply technology, specifically a novel intelligent water supply device. Background Technology

[0002] Building water supply and drainage is a comprehensive system in building engineering responsible for water supply and discharge. It covers the supply of various types of water, such as domestic water, fire-fighting water, and production water. Through reasonable planning of pipeline layout and selection of appropriate equipment, tap water that meets water quality standards is delivered to various water points in the building to meet people's daily needs for washing, cooking, bathing, etc.

[0003] Chinese patent CN221702578U discloses a high-rise water supply device for building water supply and drainage design. This water supply device can automatically clean the inside of the water tank in all directions by setting a cleaning mechanism, saving manpower and effectively improving the cleaning effect of the water tank. It prevents dirt on the inner wall from contaminating the water in the tank and affecting the quality of the high-rise water supply. In addition, by setting an auxiliary mechanism, it can prevent the water pump from being damaged and generating noise due to excessive vibration during operation. With the soundproof cover, the unavoidable noise during the operation of the water pump is further blocked, so as to prevent excessive noise from affecting the water supply environment.

[0004] Because dirt can easily accumulate inside the water tank and contaminate the water inside, although the aforementioned patent can clean the inside of the water tank, it cannot test the water quality, which could easily lead to contaminated water being delivered to the point of use, affecting people's normal water quality. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel intelligent water supply device that effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution.

[0007] A novel intelligent water supply device includes a water tank and a water pump mounted on a base plate. The bottom of the water tank is connected to an outlet pipe, and two branch pipes are connected to the end of the outlet pipe. The ends of the two branch pipes are connected to a connecting pipe, which is connected to the inlet of the water pump. A water quality sensor is installed inside the connecting pipe, and each of the two branch pipes is equipped with an electric valve. An activated carbon filter is installed on one of the branch pipes.

[0008] Therefore, by transporting water through a branch pipe without an activated carbon filter and monitoring its quality using a water quality sensor, the water flow can be switched to a branch pipe with an activated carbon filter via an electric valve when the water quality fails to meet standards. The activated carbon filter will then filter the water, and the water quality sensor will monitor it again. Once the water quality meets standards, it will be delivered to the user, thus avoiding any impact on the quality of people's normal water use.

[0009] Furthermore, a drive motor is installed on one outer surface of the water tank, and the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to a connecting shaft. The end of the connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the other side of the water tank. A scraper is installed on the outer surface of the connecting shaft, and the scraper contacts the inner wall of the water tank.

[0010] Furthermore, a drain pipe is installed at the bottom of the water tank, and a ball valve is installed inside the drain pipe. A water inlet pipe is connected to the top of the water tank.

[0011] Furthermore, there are four scrapers arranged in a circular array on the outside of the connecting shaft. Adjacent scrapers are connected by multiple arc-shaped connecting plates, and the middle of the scrapers is connected to the connecting shaft by a connecting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a controller is mounted on the upper surface of the base plate via a bracket. The controller is electrically connected to the water pump, water quality detection sensor, electric valve, and drive motor.

[0013] Furthermore, the activated carbon filter is detachably installed on the branch pipe, and the water quality detection sensor is detachably installed on the connecting pipe.

[0014] Furthermore, the water tank includes a tank body and a tank lid, which are detachably connected, and the drive motor is mounted on the tank lid.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows.

[0016] 1. This utility model transports water through a branch pipe without an activated carbon filter and uses a water quality sensor to detect the water quality. When the water quality does not meet the standards, the water path can be switched to a branch pipe with an activated carbon filter via an electric valve. The activated carbon filter filters the water, and the water quality is then detected by the water quality sensor. Once the water quality meets the standards, it is then transported to the user, thus avoiding affecting the normal water quality for people.

[0017] 2. This utility model uses a starter motor to drive the connecting shaft to rotate, which in turn allows the scraper to clean the inner wall of the water tank. Regular cleaning reduces the accumulation of dirt inside the tank, improves water quality, and lowers the possibility of contamination. Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism has a simple structure, provides good cleaning results, and is easy to maintain. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a novel intelligent water supply device, comprising a water tank 2 and a water pump 204 mounted on a base plate 1. A water outlet pipe 201 is connected to the bottom of the water tank 2, and two branch pipes 202 are connected to the end of the water outlet pipe 201. The ends of the two branch pipes 202 are connected to a connecting pipe 203, which is connected to the water inlet of the water pump 204. A water quality detection sensor 205 is installed inside the connecting pipe 203. An electric valve 206 is installed inside each of the two branch pipes 202, and an activated carbon filter 207 is installed on one of the branch pipes 202.

[0026] Water is pumped from water tank 2 by water pump 204 and delivered to the user. During normal use, the water path is switched to branch pipe 202 without activated carbon filter 207 by electric valve 206. Water quality is detected by water quality sensor 205. If the water quality is found to be substandard, the water path is switched to branch pipe 202 with activated carbon filter 207 by electric valve 206. The activated carbon filter 207 filters the water, and the water quality is detected by water quality sensor 205 again. The water is delivered to the user only after the water quality meets the standard, thus avoiding affecting the normal water quality for people.

[0027] The activated carbon filter 207 is used for temporary emergency filtration of water. After maintenance personnel clean the inside of the water tank 2, the water circuit is switched to the branch pipe 202 without the activated carbon filter 207, thereby reducing the load on the activated carbon filter 207 and extending its service life.

[0028] It is worth noting that during daily use, the water circuit should be switched briefly to the branch pipe 202 equipped with the activated carbon filter 207 from time to time to prevent the branch pipe 202 from being unused for a long time, which would lead to the accumulation of dirt inside.

[0029] Preferably, a drive motor 208 is installed on one outer surface of the water tank 2, and the output shaft of the drive motor 208 is connected to a connecting shaft 209. The end of the connecting shaft 209 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the other side of the water tank 2. A scraper 210 is installed on the outer surface of the connecting shaft 209, and the scraper 210 is in contact with the inner wall of the water tank 2.

[0030] When the drive motor 208 is started, its drive connecting shaft 209 rotates, which in turn allows the scraper 210 to scrape and clean the inner wall of the water tank 2. Regular cleaning reduces the accumulation of dirt inside the water tank 2, improves water quality, and reduces the possibility of contamination. Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism has a simple structure, good cleaning effect, and is easy to maintain.

[0031] Preferably, a drain pipe 211 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 2, and a ball valve is provided inside the drain pipe 211. A water inlet pipe 212 is connected to the top of the water tank 2.

[0032] External water enters the water tank 2 through the inlet pipe 212 for secondary water supply to high-rise buildings. When cleaning the inside of the water tank 2, the valve on the inlet pipe 212 (not shown in the figure) should be closed first. After the water pump 204 draws out the water in the water tank 2 and leaves only a small amount, the drive motor 208 is started for cleaning. The wastewater after cleaning can be discharged from the drain pipe 211. The valve on the inlet pipe 212 is opened to inject water into the water tank 2. After rinsing at least three times, the water quality is tested by the water quality sensor 205. The water can be put back into use after passing the test.

[0033] Preferably, there are four scrapers 210 arranged in a ring array on the outside of the connecting shaft 209. Adjacent scrapers 210 are connected by multiple arc-shaped connecting plates 3, and the middle part of the scraper 210 is connected to the connecting shaft 209 by a connecting plate 301.

[0034] By setting up four scrapers 210, not only is the cleaning efficiency improved, but adjacent scrapers 210 are also supported by an arc-shaped connecting plate 3. Furthermore, the scrapers 210 are connected to the connecting shaft 209 via a connecting plate 301, thereby improving the overall structural strength, effectively enhancing the resistance to deformation, and extending the service life.

[0035] Preferably, a controller 401 is mounted on the upper surface of the base plate 1 via a bracket 4. The controller 401 is electrically connected to the water pump 204, the water quality detection sensor 205, the electric valve 206, and the drive motor 208.

[0036] The controller 401 provides unified control over the water pump 204, water quality sensor 205, electric valve 206, and drive motor 208. The signal detected by the water quality sensor 205 is transmitted to the controller 401, which then controls the two electric valves 206. The controller 401 is electrically connected to the control room (not shown in the figure). When the water quality sensor 205 sends a signal indicating that the water quality is substandard to the controller 401, the controller 401 will send an alarm signal to the control room to remind maintenance personnel to clean the water tank 2.

[0037] Preferably, the activated carbon filter 207 is detachably installed on the branch pipe 202, and the water quality detection sensor 205 is detachably installed on the connecting pipe 203.

[0038] When the water quality sensor 205 detects that the water quality after filtration by the activated carbon filter 207 has not improved significantly, the activated carbon filter 207 can be replaced. When the water quality sensor 205 malfunctions, it can also be removed for repair.

[0039] Preferably, the water tank 2 includes a tank body and a tank cover, which are detachably connected, and the drive motor 208 is mounted on the tank cover.

[0040] When the cleaning effect of scraper 210 is poor, the tank lid can be opened and the inside of the water tank 2 can be thoroughly cleaned manually. If the scraper 210 or other structures are damaged, they can also be repaired or replaced.

[0041] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0042] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
