MODULAR WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM PROVIDING MULTI-ZONE FLOW MEASUREMENT, ABNORMAL FLOW DETECTION, AND SELECTIVE LINE ISOLATION.

Abstract

The invention relates to a modular water distribution system and line-by-line flow control method that enables the distribution of water from a single main supply to multiple utility lines, the independent sensing of flow in the utility lines, the evaluation of the obtained flow data on a line-by-line basis while maintaining its matching with the respective utility lines, and the selective isolation of the utility line where abnormal flow occurs. The system includes a modular distribution structure that directs water to different utility lines, and a modular measurement and isolation structure that combines the functions of line-by-line flow sensing and physical isolation.Flow data obtained from the supply lines are processed on a line-by-line basis. Flow conditions deviating from the normal operating conditions of the relevant supply line are identified, and the generated control command is directed to the physical flow control associated with the supply line where the abnormal flow is detected. Thus, water flow in the supply line where the abnormal flow occurs is selectively restricted or cut off, while water transmission continues in other supply lines operating under normal conditions. Depending on the application, the system also allows for line-specific flow assessment, the use of normal operating profiles and abnormality thresholds, verification of abnormal flow conditions before selective isolation, and verification of the outcome of the physical isolation process using flow data obtained again from the same supply line after isolation.This design allows for the identification of abnormal flow on a line-by-line basis in water distribution systems with multiple usage lines, enabling the physical isolation of only the affected line while allowing other usage lines to continue operating.

The invention also features modular measurement and isolation functions associated with each line of operation. the assembly of modular structures within a single building, with each modular structure being 15 independently connecting to, disconnecting from, or modifying the system and As a result of evaluating the flow information for the relevant usage line, the same usage line with systems for independently controlling the associated flow control structure It is related to this. In this context, the invention involves line-based flow sensing and flow data. assessment, abnormal flow detection, selective physical line isolation, modular maintenance 20 and integrated distribution structures adaptable to different numbers of usage lines It includes technologies for its implementation. Within the scope of this invention, the functions in question are solely independent of each other in terms of measurement and control. not in the form of components being located in the same installation, but obtained from a specific supply line. The flow information obtained is transferred to the flow control structure physically associated with the same pipeline. 25 a technical work chain that enables the conversion of a directed control result This is carried out within the system. Thanks to this technical workflow, the measured flow is... The match between the source usage line and the usage line being intervened with. protected and selective isolation of the line where abnormal flow occurs During this time, the fluid continuity of other usage lines under normal operating conditions is 30 protection is ensured. State of the Art: 2 Known methods for determining the amount of water consumed or transmitted in water systems. mechanical, electromechanical or electronic flow measurement devices in systems These systems utilize turbines, wheels, and magnetic sensing for water movement. element, Hall sensor, electromagnetic sensing or similar measurement techniques can be determined through mechanical or electronic means, and the obtained measurement values ​​are 5 This can be presented to the user through indicators. In the current state of the art, flow and consumption information can also be obtained using microcontrollers. processing, recording and wireless communication through electronic units It is known that data can be transferred to external devices using these technologies. Such systems remote monitoring of water consumption, transmission of measurement information to the user and 10 Creating notifications regarding specific measurement values ​​or operating conditions. It is possible. However, a significant portion of known water measurement and monitoring systems originate from the plumbing system. Measuring the total amount of water that has passed, processing the measurement data, and providing it to the user. It focuses on the functions of transferring water. Separated from a single main water supply, 15 where there are multiple usage lines routed to different usage areas In installations, only the total flow or consumption amount is determined, for each individual unit. independent evaluation of the flow condition in the pipeline and This can make it difficult to directly pinpoint the line where the abnormal flow is occurring. In installations with multiple usage lines, leaks, continuous flow, and flow exceeding expectations (20) can occur. prolonged flow, flow rate or flow that occurs outside of normal operating conditions Which distribution line does this variation in characteristics originate from? Determining the source of the problem is of technical importance. It is not simply an abnormality. Determining the consumption value or informing the user of this situation. The physical water passage in the supply line where the abnormal flow occurred is 25 It alone does not ensure its limitation or interruption. Based on completely cutting off the main water supply in case of abnormal flow. In these applications, the water supply to usage lines that are not experiencing problems may also be cut off. This situation is due to abnormal flow occurring only in a specific pipeline. This can also render other parts of the installation unusable. Therefore, 30 the usage line where the abnormal flow occurred from other usage lines by separating and identifying, and only intervening in the water flow in the line in question. There is a need to ensure the continued supply of water to other distribution lines. 3 In addition, the usage times, typical flow rates and flow of different usage lines. Since their behaviors may differ, a common approach is needed for all usage lines. Applying the abnormality criterion leads to erroneous or unnecessary interventions. It is possible. Therefore, it is only a matter of determining whether or not there is flow. Unlike the sensing structure, the working principle of the usage line to which the measured flow belongs is 5 its association with its characteristics and the decision for physical isolation in respect of the line in question. It is technically important to create this based on the evaluation results obtained. In addition, there are components that perform measurement, flow control and isolation functions.

Modular water distribution system (1), flow is measured only or given to the user Unlike a structure based on reporting, the flow obtained from the pipeline The control procedure determined as a result of the evaluation of the information is related to the use 15 in a way that would allow it to be transformed into a physical flow intervention on the line It is structured. Modular water distribution system (1) constitutes the basic structure of the system that carries fluids. It includes the modular distribution body (2). The modular distribution body (2) is attached to the installation. main water inlet connection (3) which enables the incoming water to be taken into the system, the main water 20 main flow that enables the water taken from the inlet connection (3) to be conveyed inside the body. The water from channel (4) and main flow channel (4) to multiple use lines It is fluid-connected with the distribution area (5) which enables its direction. Thus, a single Flow from the main water source is used for different purposes within the modular distribution body (2). They can be distributed to separate usage lines corresponding to their respective regions. 25 Main water inlet connection (3) of the modular water distribution system (1) to an existing building, residence, workplace It is configured to allow connection to the water supply of the location or similar structure. Water taken into the system via the main water inlet connection (3) is channeled through the main flow channel (4). The incoming water is conveyed to the distribution area (5). The distribution area (5) is where the incoming water is conveyed from each other. fluid distribution volume or channel 30 that allows separation into independent usage lines It constitutes its structure. First utility line outlet (6) in connection with the distribution area (5), second There is a utility line outlet (7) and a third utility line outlet (8). 9 Depending on the needs and installation structure, the system may also have an additional utility line outlet (9). It can be found. First utility line outlet (6), second utility line outlet (7), third utility line outlet (8) and additional utility line outlet (9); e.g. kitchen, bathroom, toilet, washing machine, dishwasher, garden watering line or other water-consuming It can be configured to establish a fluid connection with the area of ​​use. 5 The usage areas mentioned here are for illustrative purposes only, and the system may not have a specific usage area. It is not intended to be limited to this area. Thanks to the separation of the utility line outlets, each utility line has The flow status can be monitored independently of other usage lines and, if necessary... The relevant usage line can be independently intervened. Thus, the system's 10 The basic working principle involves determining water consumption, rather than simply determining total water consumption. which pipeline it passes through and under what operating conditions the flow in that pipeline occurs It can also be assessed that this has happened. On the modular distribution body (2), with utility line outlets and modular components at least one modular connection zone (10) 15 that allows the connection to be made There is a modular connection area (10), with different numbers of usage lines or different in terms of installation arrangements, allowing the system to be configured It has been arranged. Modular connection area (10), measurement and control related to the usage line. (2) mechanical and fluid aspects of the modular distribution body of its components It can enable connection. 20 One of the key structural elements of the invention is the modular measuring and insulation cartridge (11) It consists of a modular measuring and insulation cartridge (11), for a specific line of use. Detecting the flow in relation to the usage and restricting the flow in the same usage line when necessary. a modular system that brings together components related to cutting or interruption on a pipeline basis It is structured in such a way that the measurement and physical isolation functions are the same. 25 It can be directly linked to the usage line. Modular measurement and insulation. The relationship of the cartridge (11) to the usage line is only that the cartridge is physically on the said line. It is not limited to connecting as a device, but also includes which flow information is obtained by the cartridge. determining that it belongs to the usage line and the resulting information control command to independent line control unit (18) 30 belonging to the same usage line. It establishes a matching relationship that includes the orientation. Therefore, each Modular measuring and insulation cartridge (11), the fluid of the usage line to which it is connected a functional integration between transition, flow sensing and physical isolation processes It is configured to provide this. Multiple cartridges are used. In applications, this matching is maintained separately for each usage line. Modular measurement and insulation cartridge (11), flow sensing unit in preferred application. (15), flow sensing element (16), independent line control unit (18), flow shut-off element (19) and at least part of the closing element movement mechanism (20) are demountable. It can be designed to carry within a modular structure. Thus, a specific Measurement and physical isolation functions related to the usage line are for control purposes only. not only in terms of features, but also structurally, within the same interchangeable module. It can be integrated. This integration involves the measurement component and the physical shutdown. The line-based relationship between the components is also maintained during cartridge removal and replacement. It allows for its protection. Each modular measuring and insulation cartridge (11) is mounted on the modular distribution body (2). or to the cartridge holder (12) created in connection with the body in question It can be placed in the cartridge holder (12), modular measuring and insulation cartridge (11) holding it in a defined position, establishing a fluid connection and 15 It is configured to allow the cartridge to be removed from the system when necessary. This This enables maintenance and inspection of a measurement or insulation component belonging to a specific usage line. or, when a change is needed, instead of dismantling the entire system, the relevant modular measurement and The insulation cartridge (11) can be accessed. During cartridge removal, the main water in the flow channel (4) spills out uncontrollably from the relevant cartridge holder (12) 20 its failure or its negative impact on the operation of other usage lines In order to limit the flow in the relevant usage line, an independent line control unit (18), through flow closure element (19) and associated flow control structures It can be kept in a cut or restricted state. Thus, it is modular. The maintenance process involves not only mechanical demountability but also the fluid flow of the relevant supply line. 25 This can be achieved by ensuring the safety of the area. Modular measuring and insulation cartridge (11), flow that allows water to be drawn into the cartridge. inlet channel (13) and the water passing through the cartridge to the relevant utility line It includes the flow outlet channel (14) which enables its redirection. With the flow inlet channel (13) The flow path created between the flow outlet channel (14) and the water measurement and control components 30 It is designed in a way that allows it to establish a functional relationship. Modular measurement and insulation cartridge (11) inside or functionally connected with the cartridge. The flow sensing unit (15) is included.

Thus, it can be adapted to different installation conditions and flow ranges. or different sensing techniques depending on usage requirements within the same system architecture. It is possible to implement it within. Flow sensing unit (15), application with information obtained from a single flow sensing element (16) depending on the requirement 15 It can work as well as multiple methods for verifying the flow status of the same usage pipeline. by evaluating the information obtained from multiple sensory elements together It can be configured. In applications where multiple pieces of sensory information are used, the word... The subject matter is information on increasing measurement reliability and potential measurements in the sensing element. 20 for the purpose of determining the deviation or verifying the physical flow condition They can be compared. Thus, the decision for selective isolation is based on only one perception. an alternative approach to creating it independently of the event It can be accomplished. Flow direction zone (17) inside modular measurement and insulation cartridge (11) The flow direction zone (17) takes 25 of the water from the flow inlet channel (13). to establish a functional relationship with the flow sensing unit (15) and related control components It ensures that the flow is directed to the outlet channel (14). The flow redirection area (17) geometry allows the flow to pass through the measurement region in a controlled manner and the flow It is possible to direct the closing element (19) to the control area where it is effective. It can be structured in such a way as to provide. 30 There is an independent line control unit (18) associated with each line of use. Independent line control unit (18) controls the water passage in the relevant utility line to other uses. a structure that enables the management of lines regardless of their control status 12 This creates a situation where, if an abnormal flow is detected in a pipeline, Instead of shutting off the main water supply to the entire system, only the specific usage line in question will be shut off. The independent line control unit (18) can be controlled. Flow shut-off element (19) in relation to the independent line control unit (18) The flow closure element (19) is located where the flow is restricted with the open position or 5 by moving it between the closed and the cut-off positions, the water flow in the relevant utility line. It controls the flow closure element (19), partially or completely closing the cross-section of the relevant flow path. This can be achieved in a mechanical closure structure that can completely shut off the flow. The geometry and working method of the closing element (19) of the installation where the system will be applied It can be differentiated according to flow and pressure conditions. 10 Moving the flow shut-off element (19) between open and closed positions The closing is accomplished via the closing element movement mechanism (20). element movement mechanism (20), command received from independent line control unit (18) In this way, it will transmit mechanical movement to the flow shut-off element (19). It is structured. The closing element movement mechanism (20) is linear, rotary or 15 It can be done in a way that creates a movement based on a combination of these. and an electrical actuator, electromechanical motion structure or other suitable It can be operated via a control mechanism. Modular distribution body (2) and cartridge of modular measurement and insulation cartridge (11) In order to prevent water leakage in the connection it forms with its socket (12), at least one 20 A sealing element (21) is used. The sealing element (21) is the flow inlet of the cartridge. channel (13) and flow outlet channel (14) and the corresponding flow paths within the system It ensures a leak-proof fluid connection between the two. The sealing element (21) also prevents fluid leakage when the cartridge is removed and reinstalled. 25 in a way that will allow the connection to be re-established It can be positioned. The modular measurement and insulation cartridge (11) works inside the cartridge holder (12). The cartridge is held in position by means of the cartridge locking element (22). The locking element (22) is affected by the flow pressure, vibration or external mechanical effects of the cartridge. 30 to prevent involuntary departure from the work position It is configured. The cartridge locking element (22) is activated when maintenance or replacement is required. The modular measurement and insulation cartridge (11) is released in a controlled manner. It allows it to be removed from its nest (12). 13 Ensure the cartridge is inserted correctly and at the specified connection position. For this purpose, there is a cartridge guide element (23).

The cartridge guide element (23) is 5 of the cartridge's flow inlet channel (13). and the flow outlet channel (14) must be correctly aligned with the corresponding flow paths. It supports the use of cartridge configurations specific to different usage lines. cartridge guide element (23), cartridge holder (12) and / or modular in applications connection area (10), a particular cartridge belongs only to the corresponding usage line. Differentiated mechanical coupling to support placement at the connection point 10 They can have different geometries. Thus, they can have different working profiles or different flows. Incorrect replacement of cartridges configured according to their capacity between lines. The probability can be reduced.

Control 15 unit (24), obtained from flow sensing units (15) associated with different usage lines will be able to receive flow information and determine which usage line that information belongs to. It is structured in a way that allows it to transfer the control unit to the evaluation process while protecting it. (24) functions can be implemented in a central electronic control structure. in a control architecture where the portion is distributed on a pipeline basis, 20 It is applicable. The line data processing unit (25) associated with the control unit (24) receives data from each line of use. It ensures that the collected flow information is processed specifically for the relevant usage pipeline. data processing unit (25), mixing of information from different usage lines It operates by associating it with the line ID or line connection in a way that prevents this. This 25 In this way, the system evaluates which flow information is important, instead of just the total flow information. It can determine which usage line it was obtained from. Line ID, flow detection. the physical input to which the unit (15) is connected, modular measurement and insulation cartridge (11) connection location, channel information defined in the control unit (24) or these It can be created via combination. Thus, the usage line is defined as 30 dependent on a specific communication protocol or software authentication method This can be done without physical and / or electronic matching. 14 Information processed by the line data processing unit (25) is processed by the abnormal flow detection unit (26) It is evaluated by the Abnormal Flow Detection Unit (26), relevant use. the current flow condition on the line is considered normal for that line It determines whether or not it differs from working conditions.

The abnormal flow detection unit (26) detects abnormal flow in a specific usage line. If it determines that it is present, the information in question will be selected via line isolation control 10. It is transferred to the unit (27). Selective line isolation control unit (27) detects abnormal flow. by distinguishing the designated usage line from other usage lines and only using the relevant one. the control of the independent line control unit (18) of the usage line This ensures that the supply lines remain open where there is no abnormal flow. It is possible to maintain and continue using water from these lines. 15 between the selective line isolation control unit (27) and the independent line control unit (18) The control relationship is realized via the line control connection (28). Line Control connection (28), transfer of control information to the correct operating line. Line control linkage (28) This can be implemented in an electrical, electronic, or suitable control transmission structure. 20 The important thing is the control created by the selective line insulation control unit (27). independent line control associated with the usage line where the abnormal flow command is identified. It is directed to the unit (18). The invention requires that abnormal flow be determined based solely on a single instantaneous flow value. For this purpose, the flow time evaluation unit (29) assesses the flow in the relevant utility line to 25 It evaluates how long it lasts. Flow duration evaluation unit (29), the duration between the start and end times of a flow, within a specific time interval It can determine the total flow time or the uninterrupted flow time. Thus, for example... flow that continues beyond the usual usage time on a particular usage line It is possible to include it in the abnormal flow assessment. 30 Flow rate evaluation unit (30) is the amount of water passing through the relevant utility line. It enables the evaluation of the flow rate evaluation unit (30), a specific usage event, measured within a specific time interval or a specific operating period It can assess the amount of water. Thus, the expected or accepted amount in the supply line can be evaluated. Flows occurring outside the measured amount are included in the abnormal flow detection process. It is possible. Flow characteristic comparison unit (31), flow obtained from the usage line its behavior with respect to the characteristic flow behavior of the relevant usage line 5 It enables comparison. Flow characteristics; the initial behavior of the flow, its continuation duration, quantity, change over time, whether it is intermittent or continuous, and measurability. It may include one or more time-dependent variations of flow parameters. Thus, it is not only the exceeding of a certain threshold value that is problematic, but also the normal operation of the supply line. Differences in work behavior can also be included in the assessment. 10 The current or past operating status of each usage line in the system. There is a line status record unit (32) which enables it to be stored.

It can record part of it. Maintaining line status records is part of the system's existing 15 to determine the condition, perform maintenance procedures, or address previous abnormalities. It enables the study of flow phenomena. Control unit (24) with external user device, local control system or remote monitoring Communication unit (33) for the purpose of providing data exchange between infrastructures It can be used. The communication unit (33) has the basic selective isolation function of the system. It forms an independent auxiliary communication layer and can transmit wired or wireless data. This can be achieved through one or more communication techniques. Thus, the invention... The basic protection approach becomes dependent on a specific communication standard. It is not being brought. User notification unit (34) associated with communication unit (33) or control unit (24), 25 the status of the supply line, the identified abnormal flow, and the selective isolation performed. It ensures that the user is informed about the operation or maintenance requirement. User notification unit (34) is a visual, auditory or external user device transmitted to This can be done in the form of electronic notification. User notification its creation, an informational 30 that complements the physical isolation function of the system It provides the function. In modular water distribution systems (1) electronic or electromechanical components There is a power supply unit (35) for operation. The power supply unit (35), 16 control unit (24), flow sensing unit (15), independent line control unit (18), communication unit (33) and other components requiring electrical energy required to work It is structured to provide its energy. Power supply unit (35), external power source, internal energy storage element, or a combination of these. It can be implemented in a structural form. Power supply interruption or electronic 5 If the controller is temporarily unavailable, the system will respond to the application requirement. According to the predetermined guidelines, the existing mechanical positions of the usage lines will be maintained. will switch to a safe location or the energy contained in the internal energy storage element by performing a final control movement on the selected pipeline It can be configured. Thus, the flow behavior in the event of a power outage can be controlled by the system's 10 It can be determined according to the safety requirements of the installation where it is installed. Manual intervention element (36) and manual locking and releasing mechanism (37), In the aforementioned operating situations where electronic control is not available, the relevant usage It allows for the physical inspection of the line. The invention relates to situations where electronic control is not available or where direct physical control by the user is not possible. It includes a manual intervention element (36) for situations where intervention is necessary. Manual intervention element (36), flow shut-off element (19) in the relevant usage line It allows mechanical control by the user or maintenance personnel. This ensures that in the electronic control unit, power supply unit or related Due to a possible problem in the drive system, the usage line control 20 The aim is to prevent it from becoming impossible. Manual locking and releasing associated with the manual intervention element (36) mechanism (37), the relevant usage line is manually determined to be open or closed holding in place or mechanically between electronic control and manual intervention It ensures that the relationship is managed in a controlled manner. Manual locking and release 25 release mechanism (37), safe release of cartridge or associated usage line during maintenance It can also be configured in a way that allows it to be held in a certain state. Service on the modular distribution body (2) or in association with the said body Service access zone (38) is available. Service access zone (38) is modular measurement and insulation cartridge (11), cartridge locking element (22), manual intervention 30 the accessibility of the element (36) or other components requiring maintenance It provides. Maintenance operations can be carried out thanks to the service access area (38). 17 the need to dismantle the entire system or other supply lines can be reduced. To enable the modular water distribution system to be adapted to (1) different numbers of usage lines. For this purpose, there is a modular expansion link (39). Modular expansion connection (39), an additional distribution area to the existing modular distribution body (2), use 5 will allow the addition of a line outlet or a connected modular distribution component It is structured in this way. Thus, the system follows the initially defined usage pipeline. The number of units can be expanded according to the needs of the installation, without being limited by any specific number. During the isolation of one of the usage lines, the line or distribution in question may be affected. In order to limit the occurrence of unwanted reverse flow in the region (5) 10 At least one backflow prevention element (40) can be used. Backflow prevention element (40), the flow in the relevant utility line moves in the opposite direction of the main flow direction. It is structured in a way that will restrict or block. Thus, it is selective. hydraulic support of the insulation process and between different usage lines This allows for the reduction of unwanted flow interaction. Backflow prevention element 15 (40), flow between the utility line outlet and the modular measurement and insulation cartridge (11) reverse direction on the path, on the flow outlet side of the cartridge, or during selective isolation in another fluid junction where flow restriction is necessary It can be positioned in such a way that the backflow prevention function is achieved with a single structural layout. It can be adapted to different installation geometries without limitation. 20 The system allows for the representation of the specific operating behavior of each pipeline. Line work profile unit (41) is available. Line work profile unit (41) is used. one or more parameters representing the normal operating conditions of the line These parameters may include flow duration, flow rate, and the location of the flow. 25 regarding the time interval in which it arrives, the continuity of the flow, or the flow characteristics. It can be generated from measurable information. Different usage lines have different operating procedures. because it has the same characteristics, the same evaluation criteria apply to every distribution line. Its implementation is not mandatory. Thus, for example, short-term and intermittent use One line and another usage line, which are normally used for long-term operation, are separated from each other. They can be evaluated based on different work profiles. 30 Line work profile unit (41) may include predefined working conditions evaluation of measurement data obtained over time from the pipeline, etc. This can also include an updatable work profile. However, 18 The system's primary function must necessarily be based solely on a learning or adapting profile. It is not; abnormal flow assessment with predefined work profiles as well. This can be achieved. Thanks to this structure, the identification of abnormal flow is possible with specific data. different without requiring the use of processing or profiling methods This can be achieved with control architectures. The updatable operating profile has 5 features. In the applications where it is used, it is considered normal operation in the relevant pipeline. Flow duration, flow rate, and time intervals during which flow occurs, obtained from flow events. and data on flow characteristics in the line working profile unit (41) can be correlated. Current measurement information is represented within that profile. the current behavior of the pipeline compared to the normal operating range of the previous 10 or the level of deviation from defined work behavior can be determined. The profile Updating the system's physical isolation function to a specific learning algorithm without creating dependency, the different usage lines operate differently from each other. in a way that will allow their characteristics to be included in the evaluation It can be done. During the updating of the line operating profile (41), an abnormal 15 Measurement events classified as flow are not included in the profile update. Alternatively, these events can be kept separate from normal operational data. Thus, a prolonged abnormal flow condition gradually becomes normal over time. by including it in the study profile, it prevents a decrease in the sensitivity of anomaly detection. It is possible to pass through. 20 Anomaly threshold determination unit (42), one or more measurements relating to the usage line threshold for determining under what conditions a parameter is considered abnormal It creates or stores these threshold values. These threshold values ​​relate to the flow duration. flow rate refers to the flow behavior or flow characteristic over a specific time interval. can be determined in the form of limits. Anomaly threshold determination unit (42) and line 25 Thanks to the use of the work profile unit (41) together, for different lines of use It is possible to apply different abnormality conditions. Line operating profile unit (41) represents the normal operating behavior of the relevant usage line. It creates or stores reference work information. This reference work information; the normal accepted flow time, flow rate, and flow of the relevant pipeline are 30 the time interval during which it occurs, whether the flow is intermittent or continuous, and the flow itself. It may include one or more parameters relating to its characteristic. Anomaly The threshold determination unit (42) determines how much or how far from the normal working behavior in question is or 19 under what conditions a deviation would be considered abnormal the current flow It establishes or hides the decision boundaries. Thus, the line work profile unit. (41) represents 'how normal behavior is', while abnormality is the threshold determination unit (42) determining 'to what extent deviation from normal behavior will be considered abnormal' It forms a separate functional structure. By using these two units together, 5 different Not only are different normal operating profiles defined for the usage lines, but also the same The use of tolerance, deviation, or decision limits to be applied to these profiles at the time of use It is possible to determine this specifically for the line. For example, short-term and low-volume. In a usage line where a certain amount of flow is considered normal, exceeding a certain period of time Continuous flow or flow exceeding a certain amount may be considered abnormal; 10 Due to its operating characteristics, longer duration or higher volume flow is not usual. In another usage line, the same duration or quantity alone would be considered abnormal. It may not be done. In this case, the line working profile unit (41) is for each usage line. While representing the normal working pattern, the abnormality threshold determination unit (42) The subject is which amount of deviation from the pattern or which combination of conditions has a physical effect. 15 It indicates that it will initiate the isolation decision. In the working state of the invention, the water main flow channel (4) is taken from the main water inlet connection (3) It is conveyed to the distribution area (5) via. Water reaching the distribution area (5) is used. depending on the need, first utility line outlet (6), second utility line outlet (7), 20 to the relevant third utility line outlet (8) or additional utility line outlets (9). It is directed. Modular measuring and isolation cartridges associated with each usage line. (11), measuring the water passing through the relevant line and physically checking it when necessary. He is fulfilling his duty. Water is drawn from the flow inlet channel (13) of the relevant modular measuring and insulation cartridge (11). The flow is transmitted to the flow direction area (17) and the flow sensing element (16) is effective 25 The flow information obtained is passed through the flow sensing unit (15). It is transmitted to the control unit (24) by being associated with the usage line. Water flows If the closing element (19) is in the open position, flow from the outlet channel (14) It is passed through and transmitted to the relevant usage line. Line-based flow information reaching the control unit (24) is processed by the line data processing unit (25) 30 is being processed. Flow time evaluation unit (29), flow quantity evaluation unit (30) and flow characteristic comparison unit (31), flow of the relevant utility line It evaluates different technical specifications. The evaluation results obtained are error-related. provided by the work profile unit (41) and the anomaly threshold determination unit (42) It is associated with the relevant line conditions. The abnormal flow detection unit (26) made the relevant assessments as a result of these evaluations. It determines whether the power supply line is operating under normal conditions. Determining that the flow in the supply line remains within normal operating conditions 5 In case of independent line control unit (18) flow shut-off element (19) allowing flow It remains in place and water delivery continues in the relevant pipeline. In contrast, the abnormal flow detection unit (26) detects a specific line of use. If abnormal flow is detected, the abnormal flow information is used for selective line isolation. It is transferred to the control unit (27). Selective line isolation control unit (27), abnormal 10 Line control connection by determining the usage line where the flow occurs (28) only the control command to the independent line control unit (18) of the said line is sent via it. It transmits. Independent line control unit (18), closing element in accordance with the received control command. to activate the movement mechanism (20) and the closing element movement 15 mechanism (20) flow closure element (19) where flow is restricted or completely It brings it to the position where it was cut off. Thus, the supply line where abnormal flow occurs. while physically isolated, independent line control units belonging to other usage lines (18) no shutdown command is sent and the water supply of the said usage lines is interrupted It is sustainable. The flow closing element (19) moves to the closing position 20 After it is made, the flow sensing unit (15) of the relevant usage line obtains The acquired flow information can be re-evaluated. Despite the shutdown command, the relevant information... If it is determined that flow continues in the pipeline, this situation indicates a flow The closing element (19) did not reach the desired insulation status, closing element there is a working problem in the movement mechanism (20) or in the line of use 25 A control result indicating that there is a different flow condition that needs to be checked. It can be evaluated as such. In this case, the control unit (24) considers the situation as a mistake. can be recorded in the status record unit (32) and via the user notification unit (34). This can be communicated to the user or maintenance personnel. Thus, the system only needs to shut down. not the creation of the command, but the flow of the physical isolation process performed 30 It also allows for verification through this information. Isolation verification. as a result the flow in the relevant pipeline exceeds the predetermined acceptable level. If it is determined that it continues on the control unit (24), the closing element 21 Re-control of the movement mechanism (20), failure of the relevant operating line taking into account the situation and / or maintenance via the user notification unit (34) It can enable the creation of a notification regarding the need. Thus, physical The isolation process is not limited to a single control command, but also includes the flow. The results can be verified and, if necessary, further intervention can be initiated. This can be implemented within a fed-in control loop. For example, abnormal flow in the utility line connected to the first utility line outlet (6). If determined, the selective line insulation control unit (27), second usage line output (7), associated with the third utility line outlet (8) and any additional utility line outlet (9) Instead of closing the lines, only the independent line 10 associated with the first usage line output (6) It controls the control unit (18). In this way, the system operates on a single line of use. the entire main water supply was cut off due to the abnormal flow that occurred. It can selectively isolate the relevant line without needing to. In the case of abnormal flow detection and selective isolation procedure Event information can be stored in the line status log unit (32) and the user notification unit 15 (34) can be transmitted to the user via the communication unit (33). In applications, this information is transferred to an external user device or remote monitoring system. This can also be communicated. After the issue on the relevant usage line is resolved, the user can receive the information. reactivation of the line depending on the operating conditions of the system It can provide. 20 Reopening of the relevant utility line is controlled by the control unit (24). by the command or, in appropriate applications, through the manual intervention element (36) It can be performed. Manual locking and releasing mechanism (37), maintenance or keeping the supply line closed until the inspection process is complete or allows for their release when the necessary conditions are met. 25 After the usage line is reopened, the flow detection unit (15) obtains The current flow information obtained will be re-evaluated to determine if the abnormal flow condition persists. It can be checked whether it is not happening. Determining that the abnormal flow condition continues. In this case, the relevant power line can be returned to selective isolation mode; normally If it is determined that the working conditions are met, then the usage line will be open for 30 days. It can continue to be kept in this state. Thus, maintenance or user intervention is not required. The line can then be reactivated using measurement feedback. This can be verified. 22 Removal of the modular measurement and insulation cartridge (11) for maintenance or replacement purposes When necessary, the relevant power supply line is brought to a safe operating condition. Cartridge The locking element (22) is released in a controlled manner and modular measurement and insulation cartridge (11), movement determined by cartridge guide element (23) The cartridge is removed from the cartridge holder (12) accordingly. New or serviced 5 The cartridge is guided to the correct position by means of the cartridge guide element (23) It is placed in its housing (12) and in the working position with the cartridge locking element (22). It is fixed. The sealing element (21) is fixed in the recreated fluid connection. It helps to limit water leakage. Thanks to this modular structure, the flow sensing unit (15), flow sensing element (16), 10 independent line control unit (18), flow shut-off element (19) or shut-off element In case of a maintenance need related to the movement mechanism (20), the whole system instead of replacing them, the relevant modular measurement and isolation modules carrying the components in question The cartridge (11) can be accessed. Thus, maintenance operations can be carried out on the service line. This ensures that it can be implemented on a per-base basis. 15 Modular expansion is needed when the system's existing pipeline capacity needs to be increased. Additional distribution or usage line components can be connected to the system via connection (39). It can be connected. A separate modular measurement and insulation system is required for the added utility line. By using the cartridge (11), the new line can be established independently of the existing lines. It is possible to measure, evaluate and, if necessary, selectively isolate them. 20 This structure is a modular water distribution system (1) for installations of different sizes and This allows it to be adapted to changing usage needs. The invention also allows for the simultaneous use of multiple production lines. In the event that flow occurs simultaneously on more than one usage line, each The flow sensing unit (15) of the usage line provides flow information for its own line. the line data processing unit (25) creates and processes the said information separately on a line basis It operates. Therefore, identifying abnormal flow in a pipeline simultaneously. another usage line that is in normal operating conditions is necessarily required. It does not require isolation. If abnormal flow is detected separately in more than one usage line, select line 30. Isolation control unit (27), independent for each usage line where abnormal flow is determined. It can control the line control unit (18) separately. Thus, selective isolation The concept is not limited to closing just a single line, but also includes those identified as abnormal. 23 checking the usage lines by separating them from the lines that are normally in operation. This includes the isolation created for each abnormal usage line. The command is given independently via the line control link (28) of the relevant line. can be transmitted and control of flow shut-off elements (19) belonging to different usage lines. The states can be protected independently of each other. Thus, the system can protect more than one 5 Identification of abnormal usage lines at simultaneous or consecutive times even in this state, keeping the usage lines open under normal operating conditions It can only alter the physical flow status of lines that have been identified as abnormal. The invention consists of a line work profile unit (41) and an anomaly threshold determination unit (42) Its use assumes that different usage lines have the same flow conditions. 10 It eliminates it. For example, a use where short-term use is common. While prolonged uninterrupted flow in the line may be considered abnormal, the study another use where a longer duration of water flow is typical due to its characteristics On the same line, the same duration alone might not be considered abnormal. Similarly, flow 15 different usage lines for different application lines in terms of quantity or flow characteristics. Evaluation criteria may be applied. During abnormal flow assessment, the flow duration assessment unit (29), flow Quantity evaluation unit (30) and flow characteristic comparison unit (31) It is not mandatory to use all of them at the same time. It depends on the nature of the application. One or more of these assessment units may be used together. 20 However, evaluating multiple flow parameters together is not just about one. Compared to making decisions based on a momentary value, the operation of the usage line This allows for a more comprehensive evaluation of the behavior. Multiple In applications where the evaluation parameter is used, the abnormal flow decision is made. This depends on whether only one of the parameters exceeds the threshold value, or whether more than 25 depending on whether multiple parameters together satisfy the specified condition It can be created. In addition, the identified abnormal situation can be defined within a predefined period of time. Continuing throughout or repeating in successive measurement periods, physical isolation It can be used as an additional decision condition for initiating the process. Thus Short-term measurement fluctuations with continuity or a specific usage line 30 separating flow states that are meaningfully distinct from the work profile It is possible. 24 The system uses only fixed threshold values ​​for identifying abnormal flow. It is not limited. Specific to the line of use found in the line working profile unit (41). working information and the boundary conditions in the anomaly threshold determination unit (42) They can be evaluated together and abnormal flow can be determined according to different usage conditions. This allows for the determination of different installation types and different 5 features of the system. It is possible to adapt it to usage habits. The modular measuring and insulation cartridge (11) can be used for both measuring and insulation in the same line of operation. By bringing together components that perform physical isolation functions, which line's flow information is associated with which physical control structure system This is made clear within its architecture. This relationship is used to identify abnormal flow. 10 As a result, the risk of shutting down an incorrect usage line is reduced, and on a line-by-line basis. It contributes to the performance of the control process. Cartridge holder (12), cartridge locking element (22), cartridge guiding element (23) and Modular measurement and insulation thanks to the structural relationship between the sealing element (21). The cartridge (11) can be both serviced and operated within the fluid system. 15 The cartridge is positioned in accordance with the conditions. element (23) supports the correct placement while cartridge locking element (22) works maintaining its position and sealing element (21) prevents leakage at the fluid connection. It restricts. The selective isolation structure of the invention does not rely solely on warning the user, 20 converting the identified abnormal flow condition into physical flow control It provides the abnormal flow detection unit (26) and the selective line isolation control unit. (27) functional relationship between the selective line isolation control unit (27) and the independent line Line control connection (28) between the control unit (18) and the relevant measurement result 25 that enables the conversion of the flow shut-off element (19) in the usage line into movement. It forms the control chain. Flow information obtained from each usage line. The relationship with the relevant supply line is maintained throughout the control process. Flow sensing When the information obtained from the unit (15) is transferred to the data processing unit (25), the relevant use associated with the line, the result formed by the abnormal flow detection unit (26) The subject is transferred to the selective line insulation control unit (27) together with the usage line. 30 and the generated control command is connected to the line control link of the same usage line (28) It is directed. Thus, the perceived flow and the physically controlled flow path are interconnected. A control relationship is established between them, ensuring continuity on a line-by-line basis. In this context, the technical development chain of the invention is as follows: flow sensing in the pipeline. Detection via unit (15) and the flow information obtained is processed by the line data processing unit (25) Processing by associating it with the relevant usage pipeline, flow time evaluation. unit (29), flow rate evaluation unit (30) and / or flow characteristic Evaluation through comparison unit (31), evaluation result line 5 its association with the work profile unit (41) and the anomaly threshold determination unit (42), Determination of the abnormal line by the abnormal flow detection unit (26), selective line Selection of the relevant line by the insulation control unit (27) and line control connection Flow shutdown by controlling the independent line control unit (18) via (28). The movement of the closing element (19) through the movement mechanism (20) 10 This is carried out in the form of having it done. Thus, the modular water distribution system (1) includes mechanical flow distribution, line-based measurement, flow evaluation of information and selective physical isolation functions Not as disconnected components, but as an integrated system that produces results on the same production line. It brings them together within the technical system. An abnormal 15 is identified in a usage line. physically restricting or interrupting the flow only on the line in question. Ensuring that other supply lines remain available during this time is fundamental to the system. This constitutes one of the technical results. At the same time, the modular measuring and insulation cartridge (11) can be disassembled independently. changeable structure, service access area (38) and modular expansion connection (39) 20 thanks to the pipeline for system maintenance, replacement and capacity increase operations. This makes it possible to implement it on a basic level. Thus, the system operates both normally and efficiently. selective control on a line basis during operation, as well as modular design during maintenance and expansion. It presents an integrated structure that enables intervention. Within the scope of the invention, the control unit (24), line data processing unit (25), abnormal flow detection 25 unit (26), selective line insulation control unit (27), flow time evaluation unit (29), flow rate evaluation unit (30), flow characteristic comparison unit (31), line The work profile unit (41) and the anomaly threshold determination unit (42) are physically separate. They can be created as electronic units, or with two or more of these functions. most of them are common electronic control devices, processors, microcontrollers, or 30 This can be implemented within a programmable control structure. Similarly Control functions can be performed centrally, as well as modular measurement and isolation. local control structures and central control unit (24) associated with cartridges (11) 26 It can also be implemented in a distributed manner. Therefore, the described functional the units being in separate physical enclosures or separate electronic circuits While not mandatory, the essential element is the flow information obtained from the usage line on a line-by-line basis. evaluation and, as a result of the evaluation, the physical flow in the relevant usage line. It is the selective execution of the control. 5 The inline-based flow control method implemented within the scope of the invention generally involves a single line. Directing water from the main water supply to multiple utility lines, each for individual use. flow in the line independently via the flow sensing unit (15) of the relevant line perception, processing of the obtained flow information by associating it with the relevant usage pipeline, The flow information in question must include at least one flow duration, flow quantity, or flow characteristic. evaluation in terms of the parameter, the relevant use of the evaluation result Comparison of the line's operating profile and / or abnormality threshold value, abnormal Identifying the usage line where the flow occurs, and the associated usage line. Selection of the independent line control unit (18) and the flow in the said line of use While the water transmission to other utility lines of the shut-off element (19) continues, the flow 15 It includes the stages of moving to a limiting or cutting position. Method Furthermore, the flow in the relevant pipeline resumes after the physical isolation process. verification of the isolation result by detection, recording of the control process performed. to be recorded and to generate a notification for the user if necessary. It may include. 20 In an alternative approach, line-based flow control method detects abnormal flow. at least two different flow parameters for the same pipeline before determination This may include a combined assessment of flow duration, flow rate, and At least two of the parameters related to the flow characteristic are evaluated together. The subject parameters are determined by the line working profile unit (41) of the relevant usage line on 25 represented by the normal working behavior and abnormality threshold determination unit (42) It is possible to compare the provided decision limits. The identified abnormal before the situation is transformed into a physical isolation process whether it continues for a predetermined verification period, sequential measurement whether it recurs during the periods or whether more than one evaluation parameter is 30 It can be checked whether it meets the jointly determined abnormality condition. If the aforementioned verification condition is met, the abnormal flow occurs. Only by determining the usage line and through the selective line insulation control unit (27) 27 Control of the independent line control unit (18) of the relevant usage line This allows for short-term flow changes or temporary measurements. fluctuations or continuity in the normal operation of the relevant usage line flow states that differ above the limits determined by their behavior It is possible to separate them. 5 In another application, the line-based flow control method involves selective isolation. After its implementation, the flow detection unit (15) monitors the flow in the same pipeline. through which it is re-perceived and the isolation of the current flow information obtained. This may include an evaluation to verify the result. Isolation process subsequently the flow in the relevant usage line was interrupted or the predetermined acceptance 10 Isolation process carried out when it is determined that the level has dropped to a manageable level It can be considered successful. However, the flow exceeding the specified level... If it is determined that it continues to be closed by the control unit (24), Re-control of the element movement mechanism (20), the relevant operating line If the fault condition is put into effect, the situation is recorded in the line status log unit (32) 15 and / or through the user notification unit (34) regarding maintenance requirements Notifications can be generated. Thus, a line-by-line flow control method can be implemented. In addition to identifying abnormal flow and generating the selective isolation command, The flow return obtained from the same usage line during the physical isolation process carried out Verification through notification and further intervention if necessary 20 It can be implemented as a feedback control process that includes its creation. The invention is not limited to the structure and working relationships described above, but the fundamental basis of the invention the number of usage lines, provided that the technical approach is maintained, of the modular distribution body (2) geometry, modular measurement and number and placement of insulation cartridges (11), flow sensing technique, structure of flow closing element (19), closing element movement 25 working method of the mechanism (20), communication method and power supply method It can be varied according to application conditions.

They can be integrated into existing water systems as well as in new plumbing projects. It can also be used as part of the distribution and control infrastructure. 28 The system distributes water taken from the main water supply line to different usage areas. the routing and flow in each usage line independently of each other It can be implemented in a way that allows for monitoring. This includes the kitchen, bathroom, toilet, washing machine, dishwasher, garden watering line or similar different uses Water flow in these regions can be evaluated separately. 5 The flow is measured for each usage line and, if necessary, the water in the relevant line is checked. Modular measurement and isolation that allows for the restriction or interruption of passage. Modular structures can be used. These modular structures regulate the flow of the relevant pipeline. obtaining the information and physical flow control for the same usage line It can be implemented in a way that will enable its realization. 10 To detect the flow, the diameter of the piping, the flow rate range, the operating pressure, and mechanical, magnetic, electromagnetic, ultrasonic, pressure-based suitable for operating conditions or similar sensing technologies can be used. The flow is physically For the purpose of limiting or cutting off the circuit, valves, slides, and rotary switches suitable for the installation conditions are used.

The system provides flow time, flow rate, and flow rate information for each usage line. It can be structured to evaluate measurable data such as characteristics. 20 The facility where the system will be implemented will have different operating profiles for each production line. Abnormality threshold values ​​can be defined. For example, this applies to sinks, cisterns, showers, and laundry facilities. The machine or different types of usage lines have their own usual flow times and flow rates. or can be evaluated based on flow characteristics. Operating profiles are determined in advance. As can be defined, it can be updated based on data obtained during operation. 25 It can also be implemented in this way. If abnormal flow is detected, the system cuts off the entire main water supply. instead, only the usage line where the abnormal flow occurs is physically blocked. It can be implemented to restrict or shut down the flow. Abnormal flow during this process. Water transmission to other usage lines that are not currently available can be sustained. Thus, a single usage line can handle 30... the entire installation due to a leak or uncontrolled flow in the line The aim is to prevent it from becoming unusable. 29 Modular measurement and insulation structures can be disassembled and replaced. Thanks to this, maintenance, service and troubleshooting operations are performed on a usage line basis. This can be accomplished. Thus, the entire system does not need to be disassembled or replaced. Operations can be performed on the modular unit, which requires only maintenance, without the need for further processing. The system is adaptable to installations with varying numbers of usage lines. It is feasible. New usage lines can be added to the system if needed. Independent measurement and isolation units can be used for additional lines. Thus, the system... not limited by the initially determined number of usage lines, but also depending on the capacity of the installation and It can be expanded according to usage needs. 10 in cases where a service line is shut down or deactivated for maintenance. reverse flow or unwanted hydraulic interaction between lines of use Backflow prevention structures can be used to limit it.

The system can optionally include building automation systems, local control panels, and mobile units. It can be implemented in a way that allows communication with devices or remote monitoring infrastructures. The user is informed about abnormal flow, line isolation, maintenance requirements, or system status. Visual, auditory, or electronic notifications may be provided about it. However, 20 Communication and user notification functions, baseline measurement and selective operation of the system. It is not necessary for the performance of the physical isolation function.
