Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
The flow monitoring system based on the intelligent water mixer and the water leakage detection method based on the flow monitoring system are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an intelligent mixer-based flow monitoring system according to one embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, the intelligent mixer-based flow monitoring system includes: a first water leakage monitoring unit 100 and a plurality of second water leakage monitoring units 200.
Wherein, the first water leakage monitoring unit 100 is arranged at the general water inlet. The plurality of second water leakage monitoring units 200 are respectively disposed at a plurality of corresponding water consumption points, wherein an intelligent water mixer 300 is disposed at one of the water consumption points, each of the first water leakage monitoring unit 100 and the plurality of second water leakage monitoring units 200 includes a flow detector 10 and a water valve 20, the flow detector 10 is configured to detect water flow information flowing through the corresponding water valve 20, and the intelligent water mixer 300 determines whether water leakage occurs at the total water inlet to the plurality of water consumption points by acquiring the water flow information detected by each flow detector 10 and the state information of each water valve 20.
The second water leakage monitoring unit 200 corresponding to the water consumption point of the intelligent water mixer 300 may be integrated into the intelligent water mixer 300, the flow detector 10 may be a flow sensor, and the water valve 20 may be an electrically operated valve. It should be understood that the water valve 20 may be controlled to be opened or closed by the intelligent mixer 300, or may be manually opened or closed by a user, which is not limited herein.
In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, each of the first water leakage monitoring unit 100 and the plurality of second water leakage monitoring units 200 further includes a wireless communication unit 30, and the intelligent water mixer 300 is in communication with the first water leakage monitoring unit 100 and the plurality of second water leakage monitoring units 200 through the wireless communication unit 30.
For example, as shown in fig. 2, when the intelligent water mixer 300 controls the electric valve of the second water leakage monitoring unit 200 corresponding to the water consumption point of the intelligent water mixer 300 to be closed, the flow sensor of the second water leakage monitoring unit 200 corresponding to the water consumption point of the intelligent water mixer 300 is arranged, and the presence or absence of the electric pulse signal is detected in real time according to the water flow state inside the preset water pipe at the upstream of the electric valve, and the electric pulse signal output by the flow sensor is read in real time by the wireless communication unit 30 of the second water leakage monitoring unit 200 corresponding to the water consumption point of the intelligent water mixer 300 in the intelligent water mixer 300. When the intelligent water mixer 300 reads the electric pulse signal output by the flow sensor, it is described that the water consumption point of the intelligent water mixer 300 is set to generate the water leakage situation, so that the user can timely find the water consumption point of the intelligent water mixer 300, unnecessary water source waste can be prevented, wall and floor soaking near the water consumption point of the intelligent water mixer 300 can be effectively prevented, and economic loss caused by wall and floor soaking is prevented.
It should be understood that, in this embodiment, the flow sensor outputs the electrical pulse signal by sensing the flow of the water inside the predetermined water pipe, wherein the higher the water flow is, the higher the pulse frequency is (i.e., the stronger the electrical pulse signal is), and if the water does not flow, the pulse frequency is not generated, i.e., the electrical pulse signal is not generated. Therefore, the intelligent water mixer 300 can determine whether water inside the preset water pipe flows according to the existence of the electric pulse signal, that is, whether water leakage occurs from the main water inlet to a plurality of water consumption points.
In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, the intelligent water mixer 300 further includes: a mixing unit 310, a central control unit 320, and an alarm unit 330.
The water mixing unit 310 includes a first water inlet end for receiving hot water, a second water inlet end for receiving cold water, and a water outlet end for outputting mixed water, wherein the second water leakage monitoring unit 200 corresponding to the water consumption point of the intelligent water mixer 300 is disposed at the water outlet end.
The central control unit 320 is used for determining whether water leakage occurs at a plurality of water points at the total water inlet according to the water flow information detected by each flow detector 10 and the state information of each water valve 20.
In an embodiment of the present invention, when the water valve 20 in the first water leakage monitoring unit 100 is in an open state and the water valve 20 in each second water leakage monitoring unit 200 is in a closed state, if the flow detector in the first water leakage monitoring unit 100 detects the water flow information and the flow detector in each second water leakage monitoring unit 200 does not detect the water flow information, the central control unit 320 determines that a water leakage occurs in the middle waterway between the total water inlet and the water consumption points.
In another embodiment of the present invention, when the water valve 20 in the first water leakage monitoring unit 100 is in an open state and the water valve 20 in each second water leakage monitoring unit 200 is in a closed state, if the flow detectors 10 in the first water leakage monitoring unit 100 and the flow detectors 10 in any one of the second water leakage monitoring units 200 detect water flow information and the flow detectors 10 in the remaining second water leakage monitoring units 200 do not detect water flow information, the central control unit 320 determines that a water leakage condition occurs at a water point corresponding to the second water leakage monitoring unit 200 that detects water flow information.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, when the central control unit 320 controls the water valve 20 in the first water leakage monitoring unit 100 to be opened and the water valve 20 in each second water leakage monitoring unit 200 to be closed, the flow detector 10 in the first water leakage monitoring unit 100 and the flow detector 10 in each second water leakage monitoring unit 200 respectively detect whether the electric pulse signal exists in real time by presetting the water flow state inside the water pipe at the upstream of the water valve 20 in the first water leakage monitoring unit 100 and the water valve 20 in each second water leakage monitoring unit 200. And the first water leakage monitoring unit 100 and each second water leakage monitoring unit 200 upload the electric pulse signals outputted from the respective flow sensors 20 to the central control unit 320 through the respective wireless communication units 30 in real time.
The central control unit 320 reads the electrical pulse signals output by the first water leakage monitoring unit 100 and each of the second water leakage monitoring units 200 in real time. If the central control unit 320 reads the electrical pulse signal uploaded by the first water leakage monitoring unit 100 and does not read the electrical pulse signal uploaded by each second water leakage monitoring unit 200, it determines that a water leakage occurs in the middle water path from the main water inlet to the water consumption points.
If the central control unit 320 reads the electric pulse signal uploaded by the first water leakage monitoring unit 100 and the electric pulse signal uploaded by any one of the second water leakage monitoring units 200, it is determined that the water leakage situation occurs at the water consumption point corresponding to the second water leakage monitoring unit 200 which detects the electric pulse signal.
It should be understood that, in this embodiment, the central control unit 320 can determine whether water leakage occurs from the water inlet to a plurality of water consumption points according to the state of the water valve 20, the electric pulse signal output by the first water leakage monitoring unit 100, and the electric pulse signal output by each second water leakage monitoring unit 200.
The alarm unit 330 is connected to the central control unit 320, wherein when the water leakage condition from the main water inlet to any one of the water consumption points is determined, the central control unit 330 controls the alarm unit 320 to send out an alarm prompt. The alarm unit 700 may be an audible and visual alarm module, wherein the audible and visual alarm module may include a voice sounder and an LED flashlight.
Specifically, when the central control unit 320 determines that water leaks from any one of the total water inlet and the multiple water consumption points, the sound generator in the sound and light alarm assembly can be controlled to send out a sound prompt message (for example, water leaks from the water consumption points in the kitchen sink), and the LED flash lamp in the sound and light alarm assembly can be controlled to flash, so as to prompt a user that water leaks from the total water inlet and one of the multiple water consumption points, which is beneficial to user experience.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the intelligent water mixer 300 is further communicated with an external terminal to send an alarm prompt through the external terminal when the water leakage condition is determined to occur at any one of the total water inlet and the plurality of water consumption points. The external device can be a mobile phone or a tablet computer.
Specifically, when the central control unit 320 determines that water leakage occurs at any one of the total water inlet and the water consumption points, wireless communication connection can be established between the central control unit and the external terminal, and the water leakage of the intelligent water mixer is sent to the external terminal of the user in a short message form through the wireless communication connection, so as to remind the user that water leakage occurs at one of the total water inlet and the water consumption points. Therefore, even if the user is not at home, the user can timely know that the water leaks from home and timely inform related maintenance personnel to maintain, unnecessary water source waste is prevented, and meanwhile user experience is further improved.
In conclusion, in the embodiment of the invention, the user can timely find the water leakage condition from the total water inlet to a plurality of water consumption points, so that not only can unnecessary water source waste be prevented, but also the water leakage condition from the total water inlet to the wall surface and the floor near the plurality of water consumption points can be effectively prevented, and the economic loss caused by the water leakage of the wall and the floor can be prevented.
According to the flow monitoring system based on the intelligent water mixer, the first water leakage monitoring unit is arranged at the main water inlet, the plurality of second water leakage monitoring units are respectively arranged at the corresponding plurality of water consumption points, wherein the intelligent water mixer is arranged at one water consumption point of the plurality of water consumption points, each water leakage monitoring unit of the first water leakage monitoring unit and the plurality of second water leakage monitoring units comprises the flow detector and the water valve, the flow detector detects the water flow information flowing through the corresponding water valve, the intelligent water mixer judges whether water leakage occurs at the plurality of water consumption points at the main water inlet by acquiring the water flow information detected by each flow detector and the state information of each water valve, so that a user can timely find the water leakage situation at the plurality of water consumption points at the main water inlet, not only can prevent unnecessary water source waste, but also can effectively prevent the wall surface and floor near the plurality of water consumption points at the main water inlet from being soaked, thereby preventing economic loss due to flooding of walls and floors.

Therefore, the intelligent water mixer can judge whether water inside the preset water pipe flows or not according to the existence of the electric pulse signal, namely, whether the water leakage condition from the total water inlet to a plurality of water using points occurs or not is judged.
