図3は図2で示す無線式水質分析計の配線関係の詳細を示すもので、矢印Sは信号伝送線を示し、矢印Pは電力供給線を示している。
図2に示すように、従来のセンサは無線式とはいえ、電力は変換器(伝送器)6から供給される電力を用いて水質計1内のセンサ部を駆動させていた。
低電力の2線式伝送器では電力が限られており、その限られた電力でセンサからの出力信号等の増幅を賄ってきた。
FIG. 3 shows the details of the wiring relationship of the wireless water quality analyzer shown in FIG. 2, wherein an arrow S indicates a signal transmission line and an arrow P indicates a power supply line.
As shown in FIG. 2, although the conventional sensor is a wireless type, the power is driven by the sensor unit in the water quality meter 1 using the power supplied from the converter (transmitter) 6.
Low-power two-wire transmitters have limited power, and the limited power has been used to amplify output signals from sensors.

従って本発明は、水質計自身が独立して電力を発電することで、変換器(伝送器)からの電力供給を不要とするものであり、かつ独立した無線式水質分析計を提供することを目的としている。   Therefore, the present invention provides an independent wireless water quality analyzer that eliminates the need for power supply from a converter (transmitter) by the water quality meter itself generating power independently. It is aimed.

以上説明したことから明らかなように本発明によれば、
回転翼付き円筒の内周にコアとコイルが配置され中心に配線が可能な空洞が形成された発電機と、
この発電機の一端に上部スリップリングを介して配置され蓄電手段およびワイヤレス送信装置を備えた変換器と、
前記発電機の他端に下部スリップリングを介して配置された水質計と、
からなり、
前記発電機を測定成分を含む流水槽に浸漬して水流により前記回転翼を回転させて発電し、発電した電力を前記発電手段に蓄電し、蓄電された電力を前記空洞に配置された配線を介して前記水質計および前記変換器に供給するとともに、前記水質計で検出された測定信号を前記ワイヤレス送信装置に伝送して発信するので、変換器(伝送器)からの電力供給が不要となり、かつ独立した無線式水質分析計を提供することができる。
As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention,
A generator in which a core and a coil are arranged on the inner periphery of a cylinder with a rotor blade and a cavity capable of wiring in the center is formed;
A converter provided with an electricity storage means and a wireless transmission device disposed at one end of the generator via an upper slip ring;
A water quality meter disposed at the other end of the generator via a lower slip ring;
Consists of
The generator is immersed in a flowing water tank containing a measurement component, and the rotor blades are rotated by a water flow to generate power, the generated power is stored in the power generation means, and the stored power is disposed in the cavity. Since the measurement signal detected by the water quality meter is transmitted to the wireless transmission device and transmitted to the water quality meter and the converter through the power supply from the converter (transmitter) becomes unnecessary, and it is possible to provide a separate wireless quality analyzer.

本発明の無線式水質分析計の一部断面構成図(a)及び(a)図のA−A断面図(b)である。It is a partial cross section block diagram (a) of the radio | wireless water quality analyzer of this invention, and AA sectional drawing (b) of (a) figure. 無線式水質分析計の一般的な構成を示す図である。It is a figure which shows the general structure of a wireless type water quality analyzer. 従来の無線式水質分析計の配線関係の詳細を示す図である。It is a figure which shows the detail of the wiring relation of the conventional wireless water quality analyzer.

図1は無線式水質分析計の一部断面構成図(a)及び(a)図のA−A断面図(b)である。
これらの図において、1は水質計、20は変換器(伝送器)であり、この変換器20内には、ワイヤレス送信装置21、CPU21、プリアンプ23などが収納されている。
FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional configuration diagram (a) of the wireless water quality analyzer and a cross-sectional view A-A in FIG.
In these drawings, 1 is a water quality meter, and 20 is a converter (transmitter). In this converter 20, a wireless transmission device 21, a CPU 21, a preamplifier 23, and the like are accommodated.

27は外周に複数(図では8枚)の回転翼25が形成された回転翼付き円筒であり、この回転翼付き円筒内にはコア(鉄心相当)28及びコイル29が配置され、中心部の空洞33には水質計1と変換器20を接続する信号伝送線30が配置されている。   Reference numeral 27 denotes a cylinder with a rotor blade in which a plurality (eight in the figure) of rotor blades 25 are formed on the outer periphery, and a core (corresponding to an iron core) 28 and a coil 29 are arranged in the cylinder with the rotor blades, A signal transmission line 30 that connects the water quality meter 1 and the converter 20 is disposed in the cavity 33.

31は変換器20と回転翼付き円筒27の間に配置された上部スリップリング、32は回転翼付き円筒27と水質計1との間に配置された下スリップリングであり、回転翼付き円筒27はコイル29の外周を水密な状態を維持して回転可能な構成となっている。   Reference numeral 31 denotes an upper slip ring disposed between the transducer 20 and the cylinder 27 with the rotor blades, and 32 denotes a lower slip ring disposed between the cylinder 27 with the rotor blades and the water quality meter 1. Is configured such that the outer periphery of the coil 29 can be rotated while maintaining a watertight state.

上述の構成において、回転翼付き円筒27を流水槽2内に浸漬すると水流により回転翼25を介して回転翼付き円筒27が回転する。この回転により円筒内に設けられたコイル29が電極類の外側に設けられたコア部品28の外側を回転しコイル内に電流を誘導する。誘導された電流はブラシ式端子によりプリアンプ部へ電力として伝送される。   In the above-described configuration, when the rotating blade-equipped cylinder 27 is immersed in the flowing water tank 2, the rotating blade-cylinder 27 is rotated via the rotating blade 25 by the water flow. By this rotation, the coil 29 provided in the cylinder rotates outside the core component 28 provided outside the electrodes, and induces a current in the coil. The induced current is transmitted as electric power to the preamplifier unit by the brush type terminal.

プリアンプでは電力を図示しないコンデンサ類に蓄電する。このコンデンサ類に充電された電力を用いてCPU22、水質計1を構成する電子部品に電力が供給され、水質計で計測された測定信号がワイヤレス送信装置を介して発信される。   In the preamplifier, electric power is stored in capacitors (not shown). Electric power is supplied to the electronic components constituting the CPU 22 and the water quality meter 1 using the power charged in the capacitors, and a measurement signal measured by the water quality meter is transmitted via the wireless transmission device.

上述のように無線式水質分析計が自家発電する事により、単独で自律的に測定、演算、信号伝送を行うことが出来、センサ自身への電力供給が不要になる。
即ち、低電力で測定、演算、信号伝送を行い変換器(伝送器)の電力使用を抑えることが出来る。
また、電極外側に設けられたコアによってシールド効果を高められることで、外部からのノイズに対しても耐性をもたせることができる。
As described above, when the wireless water quality analyzer generates power in-house, it can independently perform measurement, calculation, and signal transmission independently, and power supply to the sensor itself becomes unnecessary.
That is, measurement, calculation, and signal transmission can be performed with low power to suppress the power consumption of the converter (transmitter).
In addition, since the shielding effect is enhanced by the core provided outside the electrode, resistance against external noise can be provided.

なお、以上の説明は、本発明の説明および例示を目的として特定の好適な実施例を示したに過ぎない。例えば回転翼の形状は図では長方形状の板として8枚を示したが、回転翼の枚数はこれに限ることなく多くても少なくても良い。また、回転翼の形状も曲線でもよく斜め方向に取付けてもよい。従って本発明は、上記実施例に限定されることなく、その本質から逸脱しない範囲で更に多くの変更、変形を含むものである。   The above description merely shows a specific preferred embodiment for the purpose of explanation and illustration of the present invention. For example, in the drawing, the shape of the rotor blades is eight as a rectangular plate in the figure, but the number of rotor blades is not limited to this and may be more or less. Further, the shape of the rotary blade may be curved or attached in an oblique direction. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and includes many changes and modifications without departing from the essence thereof.
