Description

  The present invention relates to a monitoring device for monitoring the quality of raw water in waterworks based on the behavior of fish sensitive to toxicity.

  Recently, pollution of tap water sources is spreading due to environmental deterioration such as illegal dumping of waste, and water source defense as a countermeasure against terrorism must be neglected. On the other hand, as user needs, the demand for “delicious water to drink with confidence” has been increasing in recent years.

  For this reason, in order to detect the contamination of the water source of the water supply at an early stage, there is a means for inspecting the water quality of the water collected from the river with a meter. Means for detecting an abnormal state of the water quality by detecting the above are also employed.

  For example, a water quality monitoring device disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a water tank that is supplied with raw water and that swims fish, and a frenzy state detection unit that detects the behavior of a frenzy state of a fish due to a water quality abnormality in the water tank. The control unit of the present apparatus determines that the water state is abnormal when the frenzy state detection unit outputs that the behavior of the frenzy state of the fish has continued for a preset time. Therefore, according to the present apparatus, it is possible to detect the water quality accurately with a simple mechanism at a low cost by using a fish that is most sensitive to water quality detection and is responsive.

  However, in the conventional water quality monitoring device, water quality abnormality may be detected by normal fish behavior even though the water quality of the aquarium is not abnormal. For example, water quality abnormalities may be erroneously detected during intake behavior, struggle behavior, reproductive behavior, escape behavior, and sleep behavior.

  When the dissolved oxygen concentration in the water drops due to poisoning, the fish rises close to the surface of the water to replenish the oxygen, and takes action to raise the body almost vertically with the mouth facing the surface. Since this nose raising action is also taken at the time of food predation, in the case of food intake behavior, a water quality abnormality may be erroneously detected. In addition, the struggle behavior caused by turf wars and bait in the aquarium is similar to the frenzy state of fish due to the mixing of poisonous substances, so water quality abnormalities may be erroneously detected. The reproductive behavior is similar to the frenzy state of the fish, so there is a possibility of false detection when trying to judge a water quality abnormality only by the number of frenzy state detections. Moreover, the escape behavior when there is an abnormality around the aquarium and is surprised is similar to the frenzy state and may be erroneously detected. And the sleeping fish resembles a deadly state caused by poisonous substances and may drift near the overflow weir in the aquarium.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and its purpose is water quality monitoring capable of detecting an abnormality in the quality of raw water and prompting an alarm at the time of intake of the raw water of the water supply while avoiding false detection of abnormal water quality due to normal fish behavior.

The raw water supplied to is always controlled at a constant flow rate (constant pressure).

  The water that overflows the overflow weir 20 in the water tank 2 is transferred to the main drain pipe 21 via the drain pipe 19 and discharged to the outside. The main drain pipe 21 is connected to the drain port 22 at the bottom of the water tank 2. Further, the main drain pipe 21 is provided with a stop valve 24 so that waste water when the water tank 2 is cleaned can be discharged out of the system.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, a plurality of light emitting / receiving devices 3 are provided so that the installation position can be changed at a position spaced from the outer surface of the long side of the water tank 2 by a predetermined distance. As shown in FIG. 5, the light emitting / receiving device 3 includes a light emitting element and a light emitting / receiving part 31 having a function of a light receiving element, which irradiates the liquid phase of the water tank 2 with light and is disposed across the water tank 2. The light reflected from the reflector 5 is received. When the fish 10 blocks the light, the amount of light received by the light receiving element of the light emitting / receiving unit 31 is reduced, and the fish 10 can be detected by capturing this.

  In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, among the plurality of light-emitting receivers 3, a pair of light-emitting receivers 3 a and 3 b are provided so as to irradiate light below the water surface near the water surface of the water tank 2. The nose raising action of the fish 10 to be detected can be detected. Also, a plurality of light emitting / receiving devices 3c are provided so as to be arranged vertically below the water level near the center of the outer side of the long side of the water tank 2 and at positions lower than the light emitting / receiving devices 3a and 3b. Thus, it is possible to detect the frenzy behavior of the fish 10 caused by the water quality abnormality. Further, the light emitting / receiving device 3d is arranged so as to irradiate light below the surface of the overflow dam 20 in the water tank 2, so that it is possible to detect the furious behavior and the lethal state of the fish 10 caused by the water quality abnormality. ing. The water tank 2 is provided with a substantially T-shaped reflector 5 as shown in FIG. 3 so as to correspond to the arrangement of the light emitting / receiving devices 3a to 3d.

  The arrangement of the light emitting / receiving devices 3a and 3b is not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. 6A, and may adopt the configuration illustrated in FIGS. 6B and 6C. The pair of light-emitting receivers 3a and 3b according to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 6A are arranged in the direction from the upstream side to the downstream side, and the light-emitting receiver 3a is upstream of the light-emitting receiver 3b. And it is arranged at a high level.

The control panel 4 includes an alarm display unit 42, an alarm buzzer 43, and a sequencer 44. The alarm display unit 42 lights up and displays the alarm items determined by the determination unit 4. The alarm buzzer 43 sounds in conjunction with the lighting display of the alarm items. The alarm display part 42 and the alarm buzzer 43 are provided on the door part 40 of the control panel 4 as shown in FIG. The sequencer 44 stores a control algorithm for controlling the operation of the determination unit 41. Parameters (detection time, threshold value, etc.) relating to the monitoring operation of the determination unit 41 described later can be arbitrarily set by the sequencer 44.

  A specific monitoring operation example of the water quality monitoring device 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.

[First monitoring]
The first monitoring illustrated in FIG. 7A detects the nose raising behavior of the fish 10 due to the water quality abnormality. Fish rise near the surface of the water due to the entry of poisons into their habitats, and act to raise the nose against the surface of the water. Therefore, the determination unit 41 determines that there is an abnormality in the water quality of the aquarium 2 when a plurality of light reception interruptions of the pair of light emitting receivers 3a, 3b on the upstream side, the central part, or the downstream side are detected within a predetermined time. .

  In this monitoring, the determination unit 41 determines that this is one count when any one of the upstream, central, and downstream light-emitting receivers 3a and 3b detects that light reception has been blocked and released at the same time. . Thereafter, when the number of counts of light-blocking and release of any of the light-emitting receivers 3a and 3b within a predetermined time (for example, within 1 minute) is detected a predetermined number of times (for example, 2 times, a total of 3 times) It is determined that the fish 10 is raising the nose. This water quality abnormality is displayed on the alarm display unit 42 of the control panel 4 as a “serious failure”, and the alarm buzzer 43 sounds in conjunction with this. And the facility which supplies the water to be monitored is stopped. The predetermined time and the threshold value of the count number are arbitrarily set by a sequencer 44 provided in the control panel 4.

  Therefore, according to the first monitoring described above, it is possible to detect the nose-lifting behavior of the fish 10 caused by the water quality abnormality without causing erroneous detection, and to prompt an alarm.

[Second monitoring]
The second monitoring illustrated in FIG. 7B detects the mad behavior of the fish 10 caused by the water quality abnormality.

(Normal)
When the water quality is “normal”, it may behave like a frenzy depending on the water temperature and time, but the number of times of the behavior is small (in the case of 10 fish breeding, the number of times of light interception is about 100 times / 3 minutes) Within).

(Understand the primary behavior at the time of abnormality or startle)
When the water quality is abnormal or when the external signs change, the behavior of the fish 10 changes compared to normal (when 10 fish are raised, light interception is about 120 times / minute). In the case of this “primary behavior”, it is assumed that it is a minor failure and only a warning posture is promoted. In this case, if the next behavior change or this behavior does not continue for a predetermined time in the alert state, the above operation is recognized as a malfunction and released. Note that the threshold of the detection time and the number of times of light reception interruption (frenzy) shown in FIG. 7B is arbitrarily set by the sequencer 44.

  In the monitoring illustrated in FIG. 7B, when the determination unit 41 detects the number of light reception interruptions per unit time of any one of the light-emitting receivers 3c within a predetermined time (for example, 3 minutes) (for example, It is determined that there is a slight abnormality in the water quality of the aquarium 2 by judging that the fish 10 is frenzy at 120 times / min). This abnormality is displayed on the alarm display unit 42 of the control panel 4 as “minor failure”.

(Understanding the secondary behavior of full-scale abnormal frenzy)
If a full-fledged abnormal state of turbulence or “secondary behavior” occurs within a predetermined time after “primary behavior” (for example, when the number of light interception is about 60 times or more per minute when raising 10 fish) If there is a case, or if the light reception interruption time of the light emitting / receiving device 3d is 15 seconds or more), an abnormality that is more severe than the abnormality is warned. It should be noted that the detection time, the threshold of the number of times of light reception interruption (frenzy), the waiting time, and the light reception interruption time of the light emitting receiver 3d shown in FIG.

  In the monitoring illustrated in FIG. 7B, the determination unit 41 determines that the number of light reception interruptions per unit time of any one of the light emitting / receiving devices 3c within a predetermined time (for example, 3 minutes) is equal to or more than the predetermined number (for example, 120 times). Or more).

  Further, after a predetermined waiting time (for example, 10 minutes), the number of light reception interruptions per unit time of any one of the light-emitting receivers 3c within a predetermined time (for example, 3 minutes) is a predetermined number of times or more (for example, 60 times / Min) If detected, it is determined that there is an abnormal frenzy of the fish 10, and it is determined that there is a water quality abnormality that is more severe than the abnormality.

  Alternatively, when it is detected that the light reception interruption time of the light emitting / receiving device 3d in the vicinity of the overflow weir 20 of the water tank 2 is longer than a predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds or more), it is determined that the fish 10 is abnormally abnormal and the above abnormality is detected. It is determined that there is a severe water quality abnormality.

  Any abnormality detected by this secondary behavior grasp is displayed as a “serious failure” on the alarm display unit 42 of the control panel 4, and the alarm buzzer 43 sounds in conjunction with this. And the facility which supplies the water to be monitored is stopped.

  Therefore, according to the second monitoring described above, it is possible to detect the mad behavior of the fish 10 caused by the water quality abnormality without causing erroneous detection, and to prompt an alarm.

[Third monitoring]
Some fish 10 shift from a frenzy state in a previous stage to a pseudo-dead state due to the mixing of poisons in their habitat waters, and some fish 10 remain stationary at the bottom of the aquarium 2 in a lethal state. In addition, even when normal, particularly when the environment is calm, it becomes a state similar to a temporary death state such as a break or sleep. Therefore, in this monitoring, water quality abnormality is determined by grasping the following primary to tertiary behaviors. Note that the detection time, the threshold of the number of times of light reception interruption and the waiting time described in FIG. 8A described below are arbitrarily set by the sequencer 44.

(Understand primary behavior)
When the fish 10 in the assassinated state drifts to the overflow weir 20 of the aquarium 2, first, when a light reception interruption of the light emitting receiver 3 d for a predetermined time is first detected, it is determined as “minor failure”, and this “first behavior” As a precondition, the next “secondary / tertiary behavior” is awaited.

  In the monitoring illustrated in FIG. 8A, the determination unit 41 determines that the light-receiving / blocking of the light emitting / receiving device 3d in the vicinity of the overflow weir 20 in the predetermined time zone (for example, 2 minutes) is at least one. If it is detected twice, it is determined that the fish 10 is in a dead state, and it is determined that the water quality of the aquarium 2 is abnormal. This abnormality is displayed on the alarm display unit 42 of the control panel 4 as “minor failure”.

(Understand secondary and tertiary behavior)
Then, when the second and third tertiary behaviors are detected within a predetermined time following the “primary behavior”, that is, the light reception interruption of the light emitting receiver 3d for a predetermined time is detected at least twice. It is determined that the water quality is more severe than the first behavior.

  In the monitoring illustrated in FIG. 8A, the determination unit 41 detects light reception interruption of the light emitting / receiving device 3d for a predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds) at least once in a predetermined time zone (for example, 2 minutes). Further, after the elapse of a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds), when the light receiving interruption of the light emitting / receiving device 3d is detected at least twice for a predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds), it is determined that the fish 10 is dead and the water quality is more severe than the abnormality. It is determined that there is an abnormality. This abnormality is displayed as a “serious failure” on the alarm display unit 42 of the control panel 4, and the alarm buzzer 43 sounds in conjunction with this abnormality. And the facility which supplies the water to be monitored is stopped.

  Therefore, according to the third monitoring described above, it is possible to detect an assassination state or a lethal state of the fish 10 caused by the water quality abnormality without causing erroneous detection, and to prompt an alarm.

[Combination of second monitoring and third monitoring]
The behavior of the fish 10 is diverse, and there is no fixed pattern of behavior. Therefore, in this monitoring, the behavior of the fish 10 when the water quality is abnormal is more reliably detected by combining the second monitoring and the third monitoring described above.

  That is, the determination unit 41 determines that there is an abnormality in the water quality of the aquarium 2 when detecting the light reception interruption of the light emitting / receiving device 3d for a predetermined time in a predetermined time zone. Furthermore, when the number of light reception interruptions per unit time of any of the light emission receivers 3c within a predetermined time after detecting the light reception interruption of the light emission receiver 3d for a predetermined time is more severe than the abnormality. It is determined that there is an abnormal water quality. The detection time, the threshold of the number of times of light reception interruption and the waiting time described in FIG. 8B described below are arbitrarily set by the sequencer 44.

  In the monitoring illustrated in FIG. 8B, first, when the determination unit 41 detects light reception interruption of the light emitting receiver 3d for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) in a predetermined time zone (for example, 3 minutes), Judge that there is an abnormality in water quality. This abnormality is displayed on the alarm display unit 42 of the control panel 4 as “minor failure”.

  Next, after a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes), the determination unit 41 determines that the number of light reception interruptions per unit time of any one of the light emitting / receiving devices 3c within the predetermined time (for example, 3 minutes) is a predetermined number or more (for example, 60 times or more). / Min) If detected, it is determined that there is a water quality abnormality that is more severe than the abnormality. This abnormality is displayed as a “serious failure” on the alarm display unit 42 of the control panel 4, and the alarm buzzer 43 sounds in conjunction with this abnormality. And the facility which supplies the water to be monitored is stopped.

  Therefore, according to the combination of the second monitoring and the third monitoring described above, it is possible to more accurately detect the frenzy state, asphyxia state, and lethal state of the fish 10 caused by the water quality abnormality without causing false detection, and prompt an alarm. be able to.

[Fourth monitoring]
The sleep state of the fish 10 is similar to a lethal state caused by drugs and is difficult to judge. In parallel with this, there is also a fish 10 caught on the overflow weir 20 of the aquarium 2. Therefore, in this monitoring, a delay time is provided in the abnormality determination process. The light reception blocking time described in FIG. 8C described below is arbitrarily set by the sequencer 44.

  In the monitoring illustrated in FIG. 8C, the determination unit 41 determines that the fish 10 is dead and detects the water quality of the aquarium 2 when the light receiving / blocking of the light emitting / receiving device 3d is detected for a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) or longer. It is determined that there is a serious abnormality. This abnormality is displayed as a “serious failure” on the alarm display unit 42 of the control panel 4, and the alarm buzzer 43 sounds in conjunction with this abnormality. And the facility which supplies the water to be monitored is stopped.

  Therefore, according to the fourth monitoring described above, according to the main monitoring, the lethal state of the fish 10 caused by the water quality abnormality can be accurately detected without causing erroneous detection, and an alarm can be urged.

[Monitoring turbidity]
In this monitoring, as illustrated in FIG. 8D, the determination unit 41 determines the turbidity of the liquid phase on the upstream side, the central side, and the downstream side in the water tank 2 based on the degree of attenuation of the reflected light with respect to each light emitting and receiving device 3 b. Is detected. Next, the determination unit 41 calculates the turbidity of each light emitting / receiving device 3b based on the received light attenuation within a predetermined time (for example, 3 minutes). The turbidity is calculated based on a well-known measurement principle such as a transmitted light measurement method, a scattered light measurement method, or a combination thereof. And when all the calculated values of the turbidity on the upstream side, the central side, and the downstream side are 1.5 or more, it is determined that the water quality of the aquarium 2 is abnormal. This abnormality is displayed on the alarm display unit 42 of the control panel 4 as “minor failure”. Thereafter, any one of the above-mentioned “first monitoring”, “second monitoring”, “third monitoring”, “combination of second monitoring and third monitoring”, and “fourth monitoring” is continued. The predetermined time and the turbidity threshold are arbitrarily set by the sequencer 44.

  Therefore, according to the above turbidity monitoring, it can be applied to the detection of sudden turbidity due to thunderstorms or the like of the inflow raw water, especially the inflow of unexpected turbulent flow at night in the upstream region. For example, there is rainfall (for example, evening) in the upstream area of the river at night, and it is possible to detect the inflow of the muddy stream as soon as possible, and to deal with the purification process at an early stage. In this case, a serious failure display and an alarm are issued on the control panel 4 of the water quality monitoring device 1. At this time, the water quality monitoring device 1 is not stopped and monitoring is continued.
