Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of sewage lifting equipment technology, and in particular to water level monitoring circuits and sewage lifting equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Sewage lifting stations are widely used in building basements, underground commercial spaces, subway stations, and other places where gravity drainage is not possible. They are used to collect and discharge domestic sewage, ensuring that low-lying areas do not experience water accumulation or overflow. A typical sewage lifting station includes a collection tank, a drainage motor, a sewage pump, and a control system. When the liquid accumulates to a certain height, the drainage motor must be started promptly; when the liquid reaches a safe low level, the motor should be reliably stopped to avoid ineffective operation or dry running.

[0003] If the control system cannot accurately determine the true liquid level in the collection tank, it will lead to two typical risks: first, the sewage pump may be delayed or fail to start, causing the water level to rise continuously until it overflows, resulting in property damage or safety accidents; second, the high water level may be misjudged, leading to frequent start-stop of the motor.

[0039] A sewage lifting station typically includes a collection tank (also called a sewage tank) for temporarily storing domestic sewage and a sewage pump driven by a drainage motor. The collection tank is located in low-lying areas such as basements and bathrooms to collect sewage that cannot drain by gravity. When the drainage motor starts, it drives the sewage pump to pressurize and transport the sewage in the collection tank to the outside. Therefore, the timing of the drainage motor's start and stop directly affects whether sewage can be discharged in a timely manner and whether the collection tank overflows; its control logic is also related to the actual water level in the collection tank.

[0040] In order to control the water level in the water collection tank, one embodiment of this disclosure provides a water level monitoring circuit.

[0041] Figure 1 The embodiment is a schematic diagram of the water level monitoring circuit of this disclosure.

[0042] exist Figure 1 In this embodiment, the water level monitoring circuit includes: a power supply circuit 200, a switching unit 300, a liquid level detection unit 400, and a main control unit 500.

[0043] The input terminal of the power supply circuit 200 is connected to an external power supply 210, and the output terminal is connected to the drainage motor 110 of the sewage lifting station to form a power supply circuit for supplying power to the drainage motor 110.

[0044] Specifically, as an example, in Figure 1 In this circuit, the input terminal of the power supply circuit 200 is connected to an external power source 210 (such as mains power), and its output terminal is connected to the drainage motor 110 of the sewage lifting station, forming a power supply circuit to supply power to the drainage motor 110 to support its normal operation.

[0045] Optionally, in Figure 1In the example, the power supply circuit 200 includes a power conversion unit 220. The input terminal of the power conversion unit 220 is coupled to an external power supply 210 (such as AC mains power), and its output terminal is coupled to the main control unit 500, the switching unit 300 and the liquid level detection unit 400, respectively, to convert the external power supply 210 into a suitable DC working voltage to meet the power supply requirements of each functional module.

[0046] Figure 2 The embodiment is a circuit diagram of the water level monitoring circuit.

[0047] Optionally, in Figure 2 In this embodiment, the power supply circuit 200 further includes a first filter capacitor C1 and a second filter capacitor C2, which are connected in parallel between the output terminal and the ground terminal of the power conversion unit 220. They are used to filter and store energy in the regulated DC voltage, effectively suppressing power ripple and transient interference.

[0048] In another embodiment, the power conversion unit 220 is further provided with a first fuse P1 in the front stage, which is connected in series between the external power supply 210 and the power conversion unit 220. It is used to melt in time when abnormal conditions such as short circuit, overcurrent or surge occur at the input terminal, cut off the power supply to the subsequent circuit, play the role of primary overcurrent protection, prevent the fault from expanding and ensure the safety of equipment and personnel.

[0049] Furthermore, the power conversion unit 220 is further equipped with an external trigger switch 230, which can be manually operated by the user or driven by an external control system. For example, during equipment maintenance, testing, or long-term shutdown, the main control unit 500 and subsequent circuits can be de-energized by disconnecting the external trigger switch 230, achieving physical-level power isolation, which improves safety and reduces standby power consumption.

[0050] exist Figure 1 In this embodiment, the switch unit 300 is connected in series in the power supply circuit and is provided with a control terminal for controlling its own on / off state; the on / off state is used to control the conduction and disconnection of the power supply circuit, thereby correspondingly controlling the start and stop of the drainage motor 110.

[0051] Optionally, in Figure 2 In this embodiment, the switching unit 300 includes a first switching element 310 and a second switching element K1. The first switching element 310 is connected in series in the power supply circuit, between the power supply circuit 200 and the drainage motor 110. The second switching element K1 is coupled between the first switching element 310 and the drive output terminal 503 of the main control unit 500, and is used to drive the first switching element 310 to operate according to the control signal output by the main control unit 500.

[0052] Optionally, the first switching element 310 is implemented as a relay. The coil of the relay is driven by the second switching element K1, and its contacts are connected in series in the AC power supply main circuit. It has the advantages of strong electrical isolation capability and good voltage and current resistance, and is suitable for the control scenario of drainage motor 110 with frequent start and stop and large load in sewage lifting station.

[0053] Optionally, the second switching element K1 is implemented as a transistor.

[0054] Specifically, the base of the second switching element K1 is coupled to the drive output terminal 503 of the main control unit 500 through the third resistor R3 to receive control signals; the collector is coupled to one end of the coil of the relay (i.e., the first switching element 310), and the emitter is grounded. When the main control unit 500 outputs a high-level control signal, the transistor is turned on, the relay coil is energized, its contacts are closed, the power supply circuit is connected, and the drainage motor 110 starts; when the control signal is low-level, the transistor is turned off, the relay is de-energized and released, the contacts are opened, and the motor stops running.

[0055] Furthermore, in Figure 2 In this embodiment, a first diode D1 is connected in parallel across the coil of the relay, with its anode connected to the ground terminal of the coil and its cathode connected to the power supply terminal of the coil. When the second switching element K1 is suddenly turned off from the on state, the relay coil will generate a reverse high-voltage electromotive force due to its inductive characteristics, which may damage the driving device or cause electromagnetic interference. By connecting the first diode D1 in parallel, control components such as transistors can be protected from voltage spike damage, while also suppressing switching transient noise.

[0056] Optionally, the liquid level detection unit 400 is installed inside the water collection tank 100 of the sewage lifting station, used to detect the water level in the water collection tank 100 and output a water level detection signal corresponding to the water level. The liquid level detection unit 400 can employ contact or non-contact sensor technology to monitor the water level changes in the water collection tank 100 in real time and output a water level detection signal corresponding to the water level. The water level detection signal reflects the current water level height or trend of change.

[0057] Figure 3 The embodiment is a circuit diagram of the liquid level detection unit 400.

[0058] like Figure 3As shown, the liquid level detection unit 400 includes a water level detection sensor 410 and a signal processing unit 420 electrically connected. The water level detection sensor 410 can be installed inside the collection tank 100 of the sewage lifting station to sense changes in the water level in the tank in real time; the other circuit modules (such as the signal processing unit 420, power supply circuit 200, switching unit 300, and main control unit 500, etc.) can be arranged outside the collection tank 100 to avoid long-term immersion or humid environment affecting the electronic components. It should be noted that the specific installation position and implementation method of the above circuits do not constitute a limitation of this application and can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual product structure and protection requirements.

[0059] Specifically, the water level detection sensor 410 is used to detect the water level in the water collection tank 100 and output a corresponding water level detection signal. When the water level detection sensor 410 itself has digital output capability (such as integrated ADC or communication interface), its output signal can be directly sent to the main control unit 500 as a water level detection signal without additional processing.

[0060] Furthermore, when the water level detection sensor 410 outputs an analog signal (e.g., a voltage or current signal whose amplitude changes continuously with the water level), to facilitate accurate identification and processing by the main control unit 500, the signal processing unit 420 can be connected to the water level detection sensor 410 and... Figure 2 The main control unit 500 is located between signal input terminals 502 and includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for converting the analog signal into a digital signal and outputting the digital signal as a water level detection signal to the main control unit 500.

[0061] Specifically, in Figure 3 In this embodiment, the signal processing unit 420 includes a processing chip 421, which has a positive signal input terminal 4211, a negative signal input terminal 4212, and a signal output terminal 4213. The positive signal input terminal 4211 is coupled to the water level detection sensor 410 through a first resistor R1, and the negative signal input terminal 4212 is coupled to the water level detection sensor 410 through a second resistor R2. The signal output terminal 4213 is connected to the signal input terminal 502 of the main control unit 500 and outputs a digital signal after comparison or analog-to-digital conversion.

[0062] also, Figure 3 In this embodiment, a first capacitor C3 is connected in parallel between the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 to filter out high-frequency noise and stabilize the input signal.

[0063] Optionally, in Figure 3In this embodiment, the signal processing unit 420 and the water level detection sensor 410 are electrically connected through a first port 411 and a second port 422. The first port 411 is located on the side of the water level detection sensor 410 and is used to output the raw analog signal it senses. The second port 422 is located on the side of the signal processing unit 420 and is used to receive the analog signal and perform subsequent processing. The first port 411 and the second port 422 are coupled together via port plugs, wires, or flexible circuits, forming an analog signal transmission channel from the sensor to the signal processing unit 420.

[0064] Optionally, Figure 3 In this embodiment, the signal processing unit 420 further includes a first power supply terminal 4214, which is coupled to the output terminal of the power conversion unit 220 and is used to provide operating power to the processing chip 421. A second capacitor C4 is also coupled between the first power supply terminal 4214 and ground to filter the power supply voltage, suppress power supply noise, and ensure stable operation of the signal processing unit 420.

[0065] Optionally, the signal processing unit 420 further includes a first ground terminal 4215 and a reference voltage terminal 4216, wherein the reference voltage terminal 4216 is used to provide the reference voltage required by the analog-to-digital converter or comparator. A third capacitor C5 and a fourth capacitor C6 are connected in parallel between the reference voltage terminal 4216 and the first ground terminal 4215, which together form a filter network to stabilize the reference voltage and filter out high-frequency interference.

[0066] Combination Figure 2 The main control unit 500 includes a chip power supply terminal 501 coupled to the output terminal of the power conversion unit 210, a signal input terminal 502 connected to the liquid level detection unit 400, and a drive output terminal 503 connected to the control terminal; the main control unit 500 is used to generate a control signal for the on / off control of the switching unit 300 based on the water level detection signal to maintain the water level within a preset range.

[0067] exist Figure 2 In this embodiment, the main control unit 500 includes a signal input terminal 502 connected to the liquid level detection unit 400 and a drive output terminal 503 connected to the control terminal of the switching unit 300. Based on the received water level detection signal, the main control unit 500 intelligently generates an on / off control signal for the switching unit 300 to maintain the water level in the collection tank 100 within a preset safe range. For example, when the water level rises to a set pump start threshold, the main control unit 500 issues a start command, causing the switching unit 300 to close and the drainage motor 110 to start operating; when the water level drops to a set pump stop threshold, the main control unit 500 issues a stop command, cutting off the power supply circuit and stopping the motor.

[0068] Optionally, the main control unit 500 integrates or is connected to a memory that stores an upper limit threshold and a lower limit threshold for comparison with the water level represented by the water level detection signal.

[0069] Specifically, in Figure 1 In this embodiment, the upper limit threshold of the water level in the memory corresponds to the high water level line H of the water collection tank 100. When the water level detected by the liquid level detection unit 400 reaches or exceeds this threshold, it indicates that the water level in the water collection tank 100 is too high and there is a risk of overflow. At this time, the main control unit 500 determines that the drainage motor 110 needs to be started based on the stored upper limit threshold of the water level, and connects the power supply circuit through the control switch unit 300 to start the drainage motor 110 to start working and discharge sewage in a timely manner.

[0070] Correspondingly, the lower water level threshold corresponds to the low water level line L of the water collection tank 100. When the water level detected by the level detection unit 400 drops below this threshold, it indicates that the water in the water collection tank 100 has been drained and there is no need to continue running the drainage motor 110. At this time, the main control unit 500 issues a command based on the stored lower water level threshold to control the switch unit 300 to disconnect the power supply circuit, causing the drainage motor 110 to stop working and avoid unnecessary operation.

[0071] In addition, Figure 2 In the main control unit 500, there is also a first interface connection terminal 504 coupled to the third port 501 for external communication or extended functions. A fifth capacitor is also connected in parallel between the connection terminal of the third port 501 and ground for filtering out high-frequency interference.

[0072] The main control unit 500 also includes a second interface connection terminal 505, which is connected to the output terminal of the power conversion unit 220 through the fourth port 240, and is used to provide a stable working power supply for the internal circuit of the main control unit 500.

[0073] Optionally, the main control unit 500 further includes at least one feedback terminal for outputting a feedback signal characterizing the water level status in the collection tank 100 based on the water level detection signal. The water level monitoring circuit further includes at least one alarm unit 600 connected to the feedback terminal for generating alarm information based on the feedback signal and sending it to the outside.

[0074] As an example, the alarm unit 600 may include a sound alarm unit 610 and a light alarm unit. Figure 2In this embodiment, the feedback terminal includes an alarm signal terminal 506 coupled to the sound alarm unit 610 and at least one display feedback terminal 507 coupled to the light alarm unit 620. The sound alarm unit 610 includes a speaker 611 and a third switching element K2. The third switching element K2 has a fourth terminal, a fifth terminal, and a sixth terminal for controlling its on / off state: the fourth terminal is coupled to the output terminal of the power conversion unit 220 via a fourth resistor R4, the fifth terminal is grounded, and the sixth terminal is coupled to the alarm signal terminal 506 via a fifth resistor R5. When the main control unit 500 outputs a valid level through the alarm signal terminal 506, the third switching element K2 is turned on, driving the speaker 611 to emit sound, thus achieving an audible and visual alarm.

[0075] at the same time, Figure 2 The embodiment is provided with four display feedback terminals 507, which are coupled to the first light-emitting diode D1, the second light-emitting diode D2, the third light-emitting diode D3, and the fourth light-emitting diode D4 through the first feedback resistor R6, the second feedback resistor R7, the third feedback resistor R8, and the fourth feedback resistor R9, respectively, to intuitively indicate the current water level range or system status with different lighting combinations.

[0076] Optionally, the first LED D1 is used to indicate a low water level or standby state, the second LED D2 is used to indicate that the drainage motor 110 is operating normally, the third LED D3 is used to indicate an overload warning, and the fourth LED D4 is used to indicate a system fault.

[0077] In another embodiment of this disclosure, a sewage lifting station is provided, including the water level monitoring circuit described in any of the above embodiments. By integrating the water level monitoring circuit, the sewage lifting station can obtain real-time water level changes in the collection tank 100 and intelligently control the start and stop of the drainage motor 110 based on a preset threshold, effectively preventing overflow.

[0078] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this disclosure and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this disclosure should still be covered by the protection scope of this disclosure.
