Description
Anmeldung zum Gebrauchsmuster über eine Vorrichtung zur berührungslosen Durchflussmessung von Flüssigkeiten, insbesondere WasserApplication for a utility model for a device for contactless flow measurement of liquids, in particular water
Die IdeeThe idea
Aus ökologischen und ökonomischen Überlegungen heraus gehört Wasser sparen zu den primären Aufgaben unserer Gesellschaft.For ecological and economic reasons, saving water is one of the primary tasks of our society.
Gemäss dem Stand der Technik sind uns verschiedene Möglichkeiten bekannt. Zu den gebräuchlisten gehören s.g. Durchflussmengenbegrenzer, Wassersparventile etc. Um die Durchflussmenge zu ermitteln, werden s.g. Wasseruhren eingesetzt. Die Einbau-, A rbeits- und Funktionsweisen werden als bekannt vorausgesetzt,According to the state of the art, we know of various possibilities. The most common ones include so-called flow rate limiters, water saving valves, etc. To determine the flow rate, so-called water meters are used. The installation, working and functional principles are assumed to be known.
Nachteile der SystemeDisadvantages of the systems
a) Durchflußmengenbegrenzera) Flow limiter
Der Durchflussmengenbegrenzer besteht im wesentlichen aus einer, zwischen zwei Rohrleitungen eingebauten Vorrichtung, die eine mengenbegrenzende plus oder minus, Einrichtung besitzt, Die bekannteste Vorrichtung ist der allseits bekannte Wasserhahn. Die zu begrenzende Durchflussmenge wird von Hand eingeregelt und kann, ebenfalls von Hand, beliebig, nach jedem Wasserentnahmnevorgang, verändert werden.The flow limiter essentially consists of a device installed between two pipes that has a plus or minus setting to limit the flow. The most well-known device is the well-known water tap. The flow rate to be limited is set manually and can be changed manually as required after each water extraction process.
b) Wassersparventileb) Water saving valves
Wassersparventile arbeiten nach dem ähnlichen Prinzip der Durchflussmengenbegrenzer. Der Unterschied liegt hauptsächlich darin, dass thermostatische, temperaturabhängige Regeleinrichtungen, dass Öffnen und Schliessen der Durchflussvorrichtungen steuern und somit entscheidend beeinflussen.Water-saving valves work on a similar principle to flow limiters. The difference lies mainly in the fact that thermostatic, temperature-dependent control devices control the opening and closing of the flow devices and thus have a decisive influence.
Der Sinn und Zweck einer Wasseruhr liegt darin, die Durchflussmenge zu ermitteln und in Form von Anzeigen, digital oder analog, zu speichern. Die gespeicherten Werte dienen als Grundlage für die Berechnung des Wasserverbauchs und der Abwassergebühren (Kanalgebühren).The purpose of a water meter is to determine the flow rate and store it in the form of displays, digital or analogue. The stored values serve as the basis for calculating water consumption and wastewater charges (sewerage fees).
Der Einbau erfolgt in der Hauptzuleitung, vor der Verteilereinrichtung, d.h. Die eingebaute Wasseruhr erfasst grundsätzlich die gesamte, vor der Verteilung durchgeflossene Wassermenge. Die Durchflussmenge an einzelnen Entnahmestellen, z.B. i &eegr; der Küche oder im Bad, kann nicht ermittelt werden.The installation takes place in the main supply line, before the distribution device, i.e. the installed water meter basically records the entire amount of water that has flowed through before distribution. The flow rate at individual extraction points, e.g. in the kitchen or bathroom, cannot be determined.
Weitere Nachteile sind die Tatsachen, daß der Einbau der Wasseruhren, im Regelfall, außerhalb des Wohnbereiches erfolgt, was eine permanente Verbrauchskontrolle erschwert. Das Ermitteln der Verbrauchswerte, durch die Wasserversorgungsunternehmen, erfolgt im Jahresrhytmus. d.h. Wasserverbrauchs regulierende Maßnahmen wirken immer nachschüssig.Further disadvantages are the fact that the water meters are usually installed outside the living area, which makes it difficult to monitor consumption on a permanent basis. The water supply companies determine consumption values on an annual basis, i.e. measures to regulate water consumption always have a retroactive effect.
Meiner Idee liegt nun die Erfindung zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, die es ermöglicht, an jeder beliebigen Wasserentnahme stelle, die Durchflußmenge, digital oder analog, zu ermitteln und die durchfließende Wassermenge in Geldwerte-Größen, bestehend aus dem Wasserpreis und den Kanalbenutzungsgebühren, dem Verbraucher sofort anzuzeigen.My idea is based on the invention of creating a device that makes it possible to determine the flow rate, digitally or analogue, at any water extraction point and to immediately display the amount of water flowing through to the consumer in monetary terms, consisting of the water price and the sewerage usage fees.
Die Vorteile dieses Systems liegen hauptsächlich darin, daß bei Öffnen der Wasserentnahmestellen, die durchfliessende Wassermenge nicht in Liter oder Meter/3, sondern in Geldwerten-Größen, angezeigt wird.The main advantage of this system is that when the water tap is opened, the amount of water flowing through is not displayed in liters or meters/3, but in monetary values.
Die ständige Anzeige (auch kumulierend arbeitende) führt dazu, daß die Wasserentnahmestellen tatsächlich öfter bzw. früher geschlossen werden und somit Wasser, durch umweit- und kostenbewußtes Verhalten, ohne Verzicht auf Lebensqualität, eingespart werden kann.The constant display (also cumulative) means that the water extraction points are actually closed more often or earlier and thus water can be saved through environmentally and cost-conscious behavior without sacrificing quality of life.
ArbeitsweiseHow it works
Die Arbeitsweise kann berührungslos oder durch Einbau in die wasserdurchfließenden Leitungen / Verbraucher erfolgen.The operation can be carried out without contact or by installation in the water-flowing pipes / consumers.
Das berührungslose Ermiiteln der Verbrauchswerte kann mitteis Ultraschall oder magnetisch wirkenden Vorrichtungen erfolgen.The contactless determination of consumption values can be carried out using ultrasound or magnetic devices.
Es ist auch denkbar, daß der Einbau direkt an der Entnahmestelle bzw. Wasserzuleitung erfolgt. Die Mengen- oder Kostenermittlung erfolgt dann, gem. dem Prinzip der zum Stand der Technik gehörenden, Wasseruhren.It is also conceivable that the installation takes place directly at the point of use or water supply. The quantity or cost determination is then carried out in accordance with the principle of state-of-the-art water meters.
Die, für den Verbraucher sichtbare Anzeige, erfolgt digital oder analog für Deutschland in DM oder jeder anderen, beliebigen Währung.The display visible to the consumer is digital or analogue for Germany in DM or any other currency.
Die, gem. der Örtllichkeit festgesetzten Kosten für die Kanalbenutzung und die direkten Wasserkosten, werden über die vorhandene Zehnertastatur, jederzeit veränderbar, eingegeben. Eine kumulierend wirkende Aufrechnung nach Tag, Monat oder Jahr, bzw. anderen zeitlichen Vorgaben, ist möglichThe costs for the use of the sewer and the direct water costs, determined according to the location, are entered using the existing numeric keypad and can be changed at any time. A cumulative calculation by day, month or year, or other time specifications, is possible
Die für den Betrieb der Vorrichtung erforderliche Energie kann durch einen direkten Stromanschluß, Batterie erfolgen. Eine Versorgung durch Solarzellen ist ebenfalls denkbar.The energy required to operate the device can be provided by a direct power connection or battery. Supply by solar cells is also conceivable.
