Detailed Description of the Invention
To illustrate in detail the technical contents of the present invention, objectives to achieve thereby and resulting effects, the following descriptions are made with embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Referring to Fig. 1, a control system for a smart water pump provided in the present invention 20 includes a server platform and at least one smart water pump connected to the server platform. The smart water pump includes a water pump, a mainboard for controlling operating conditions of the water pump, a power supply, a communication device, a flow sensor and a pressure sensor. The power supply, the communication device, the flow sensor and the pressure sensor are electrically connected to the mainboard separately. The flow sensor and the pressure sensor are disposed on a pipeline running through the water pump separately. The smart water pump sets up connection with the server platform by means of the communication device.
The invention has the following advantages: according to a control system for a smart water pump provided in the invention, a flow sensor and a pressure sensor are disposed on a pipeline running through the water pump to collect a water-use flow and a water way pressure for a user and other relevant data, and all the data collected by the water pump is uploaded by a communication device to a server platform for storage. Then, the user can log in to the server platform to make a remote query for operating conditions of the user’s own water pump, and can achieve real-time monitoring and query for the operating conditions and water-use energy consumption of the water pump, remote start and stop control of the water pump, operating time

-32017101766 19 Dec 2017 period setting of the water pump and constant pressure control without on-site operation. Thus, high intelligence is realized.
The working principle of a control system for a smart water pump provided in the invention is as follows:
A smart water pump may obtain operating condition data thereof in real time, including supply voltage, operating frequency, water-use flow, water way pressure, water-use energy consumption and the like of the smart water pump, where the flow sensor is configured to collect the user’s water-use flow, and the pressure sensor is configured to collect the water way pressure. The collected data is transmitted to the mainboard. A memory may be provided on the mainboard to locally store data. Additionally, the data is transmitted by the communication device connected to the mainboard to the server platform for storage, allowing a query from other terminal after logging in.
The server platform can analyze the obtained operating condition data to obtain an analysis result and transmit the analysis result to a mobile terminal corresponding to the smart water pump. That is, one smart water pump corresponds to one mobile terminal, and before use, user’s identity information registration, login and binding are required.
Further, the control system also includes at least one mobile terminal wirelessly connected with the server platform and the smart water pump separately.
As can be seen from the above description, a user can create and transmit a query request to the server platform by using a mobile terminal. It is equivalent to that the user logs in to the server platform to query for the relevant data. For example, if the user wants to know the water consumption of the current month, the user can log in to the server platform to query for that. The server platform parses the query request so as to obtain and feed back the data corresponding to the query request to the mobile terminal. A database is provided on the server platform to store relevant data, and therefore, the user can query for historical records at the server platform on the mobile phone.
Additionally, the mobile terminal uses another link rather than the server platform when remotely controlling and managing the smart water pump because the transmission efficiency can be improved when a large quantity of data needing to be transmitted by the smart water pump and minimal data of an operating instruction transmitted by the mobile terminal are not transmitted over the same link. Specifically, the mobile terminal receives an operating instruction corresponding to the analysis result and transmits the operating instruction to the smart water pump. The smart water pump receives the operating instruction transmitted from the mobile terminal and then executes it.
Further, the control system also includes a water supply management platform setting
9691565_1 (GHMatters) P107327.AJ
-42017101766 19 Dec 2017 up connection with the server platform.
As can be seen from the above description, in an embodiment, at a preset time interval, the server platform transmits a water-use flow to the water supply management platform, and the water supply management platform generates and transmits corresponding water charge information corresponding to the water-use flow to the mobile terminal. The preset time interval is generally a month. Thus, the server platform may transit the water-use flow of a user to the water supply management platform each month, and a background supervisor may calculate corresponding water charge; or the system automatically generates the corresponding water charge and transmits it to the user’s mobile phone.
Further, the smart water pump also includes a warning device, and the warning device is electrically connected to the mainboard.
As can be seen from the above description, in an embodiment, if the value of any parameter in the operating condition data exceeds a preset threshold range, the smart water pump transmits warning information to the mobile terminal or delivers the warning information by means of its own warning device, by way of ringing or vibrating. In case of an emergency, it would be better that the emergency is detected earlier. Therefore, the smart water pump is provided with a threshold for determination, and may effect warning immediately upon exceeding the threshold. Thus, adverse consequences of lagging in warning due to backend determination may be avoided.
Further, at least two flow sensors are provided and disposed on the pipeline at an inlet of the water pump and the pipeline at an outlet of the water pump, respectively.
As can be seen from the above description, in an embodiment, there are at least two flow sensors disposed on a part, located at an inlet of the water pump, of the pipeline and a part, located at an outlet of the water pump, of the pipeline, respectively. The data obtained by two flow sensors may be compared to check whether the smart water pump is abnormal. If a difference therebetween exceeds a reasonable error range, it is considered abnormal, and meanwhile, abnormal information is transmitted to the mobile terminal or warning information is delivered directly to ensure normal operation of the pump.
Further, the smart water pump also includes a timer, and the time is electrically connected with the mainboard.
As can be seen from the above description, in an embodiment, to optimize the transmission stability of data, an interval duration may be set by a timer and then the smart water pump may transmit data by the set interval duration, so that long-time space usage of a communication channel due to real-time transmission of data can be avoided.
The smart water pump is integrated with a module of a communication function, such as
9691565_1 (GHMatters) P107327.AJ
-52017101766 19 Dec 2017
GPRS, to realize the function of user’s water use. With the communication module integrated into the water pump, in the process of use by the user and of operating of the water pump, the communication module of the smart water pump records the operating conditions (such water pump operating conditions as supply voltage, operating frequency, water-use flow, water way pressure and water-use energy consumption) of the water pump and transmits data to a cloud server platform in a certain cycle by means of the communication module. The service platform achieves collection and statistics, comparative analysis and exchange of data, and the finally calculated reference data is transmitted by a data center to the user and a centralized water supply center for advanced maintenance of the water pump, water supply pipeline fault elimination, rescue, charge renewal and payment, etc.
After installing a smart water pump in place, a user may activate an Internet of Things card (installed in the water pump), and then the smart water pump is powered on to operate.
Next, the user may install an APP developed correspondingly on a mobile terminal. Then, the user registers water pump information, including an SIM card number, a water pump terminal number, a user’ number for receiving warning information, etc. After successful registration and login to the APP software, the user can remotely set parameters of water pump energy consumption, operating conditions and constant pressure control, and an operating period of time, etc.
To sum up, according to a control system for a smart water pump provided in the invention, a flow sensor and a pressure sensor are disposed on a pipeline running through the water pump to collect a water-use flow and a water way pressure for a user and other relevant data, and all the data collected by the water pump is uploaded by a communication device to a server platform for storage. Then, the user can log in to the server platform to make a remote query for the operating conditions of the user’s own water pump, and can achieve real-time monitoring and query for the operating conditions and water-use energy consumption of the water pump, remote start and stop control of the water pump, operating time period setting of the water pump and constant pressure control without on-site operation. Thus, high intelligence is realized.

Any equivalent alterations made with the descriptions and the accompanying drawings of the present invention or direct or indirect utilization thereof in the related art shall all be encompassed in the scope of patent protection of the present invention in the same way.
