Description

Smart rural water supply system {SYSTEM FOR SUPPLYING WATER}

The present invention relates to a smart rural water supply system, and more particularly, to a smart water supply system for rural farms that can supply rural water optimally to rice fields and fields in rural areas.

Where water is used, such as rice fields or fields, adequate water should be supplied to raise crops.

Conventionally, the smart rural water supply system simply pumps raw water from a single source such as river or lake, and supplies raw water as a water source.

In the conventional smart rural water supply system, when one source of water is used, water can be supplied when raw water is exhausted due to a drought or the like, which makes it difficult to effectively overcome a drought.

In addition, it is not possible to accurately quantify how much water is required to use the water. As a result, the water is excessively pumped and supplied, thereby unnecessarily wasting water resources or wasting unnecessary power.

In addition, there is a problem in that there is a limit in supplying water in the optical region because the water has a structural limit to supply water smoothly only in a region close to the water source.

In addition, even if the water is supplied to the optical area, it is necessary to provide a communication network for supplying the water to the receiving place which is distant from the water source. Therefore, it takes a lot of cost to construct the water, there is a problem.

In addition, it is not possible to determine in which region the water is needed more in the central region, and in which region it is not necessary to supply the water, and there are many problems due to inefficient resource distribution by collectively supplying water irrespective of the required amount of water .

In addition, when unexpected pollution occurs in one water source as the water supply source as described above, there may arise a problem in that water can not be supplied to a wide range of water receiving locations dependent on one water source.

In addition, although there are various water resources available in the vicinity of the demand site such as river water, lake water, ground water, and rainwater (excellent), there is a problem that it can not be used, and when one water source is contaminated, Can be highlighted.

In addition, if one of the water sources is depleted due to drought, it may not be able to utilize water sources such as rivers and lakes in a short distance, and water may not be supplied to a wide range of users.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and a method for storing water from various water sources and having a palm pond on the upstream side, And to provide a smart rural water supply system capable of distributing and supplying the water.

FIGS. 3A and 3B are views for explaining the adjustment of the smart rural water supply system shown in FIG. 1. FIG.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the concept of a smart rural water supply system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the smart rural water supply system shown in FIG.

1 and 2, a smart rural water supply system 100 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a water tank 120, a pipeline 115, a farm pond 140, A sensor 150, a valve 160, a flow meter 180, an adjustment valve level sensor 185, an adjustment valve 190 and a control center 110.

The water storage tank 120 is supplied with raw water from a water source S such as a river or a lake and is stored as water. The water storage tank 120 supplies raw water from a plurality of water sources rather than from one water source.

By storing the water from a multi source, if one water source is polluted or drought is depleted, it is not possible to supply the water to the place where water is used, but water can be secured from various water sources that can supply the water Accordingly, such a problem can be solved.

At this time, the place where the water is used may be a rice field or a field, but the present invention is not limited to this, and any other place where various water is used may be included.

In addition, since it is possible to secure the water in the water storage tank 120 in advance, it is possible to minimize the water shortage caused by drought or the like, and to minimize the damage caused by flood.

The pipeline 115 is constructed not only to store the water from the water source into the water storage tank 120 but also to supply the water to the places where the water is ultimately used such as rice fields and fields. ) Is installed so that the water supply amount can be controlled.

The pipeline 115 is provided with a water leakage detection and flow meter 180, if necessary, so that unnecessary water leakage can be grasped in real time, and the supply of water can be promptly controlled by the flow meter 180 It is preferable that the water is appropriately supplied to the place where the water is used.

In addition, it is preferable that the pipeline 115 further includes a water generating device, for example, provided with a fan rotated by the water fluid, and generating electric power by a rotating fan.

That is, if the power generated by the water power generation device installed in the local area is used to drive the water leakage sensor, the flow meter 180, or the water level sensor 150, for example, in the local area, Power can be secured.

The palm pond 140 is installed on the upstream side of the pipeline 115 where the water is used to regulate the volume of water and the actual quantity of water before the water is finally supplied to the place where the water is used.

In addition to the function of the water reservoir 120, the palm pond 140 also has a function of storing water, so that it is expected to minimize the damage caused by drought or flood.

The water level detection sensor 150 detects the water level of the palm pond 140 and detects the water level of the palm pond 140 and provides information on the detection value to the control center 110 to be described later.

At this time, more preferably, the level sensor 150 transmits the detection value to the control center 110 to the 3G or 4G wireless mobile communication network. As the detection value is transmitted to the remote control center 110 as described above, the control center 110 can grasp the level of each palm pond 140 in real time, and the water is suitably applied to each of the plurality of palm ponds 140 So that the water supply can be effectively managed.

The valve 160 is provided at a branch point on the pipeline 115 to control the supply priority and supply amount of the water. The valve 160 is driven according to a control signal of the remote control center 110. The valve 160 may also be controlled by a 3G or 4G wireless mobile communication network.

The control center 110 controls and controls the above water level detecting sensor 150 and the valve 160 either wirelessly or by wire. The control center 110 determines the water level of each palm pond 140 by the water level detecting sensor 150, When the water level of the palm pond 140 is lower than the minimum reference value, the valve 160 is opened so that the water is introduced into the pipeline 115 that supplies the water to the palm pond 140 in order to fill the water, The valve 160 is closed so that the water does not flow into the pipeline 115 supplying the water to the palm pond 140.

With this configuration, unnecessary waste of water can be drastically reduced by optimally supplying the water, and it is possible to minimize the problem of wasting electric power due to pumping for supplying water unnecessarily.

According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to control the supply of water to each palm pond 140 by determining the level of the palm pond 140, but more reliably, the flow meter 180 It is possible to control and manage the amount of water flowing into the palm pond 140 by detecting the amount of water supplied from the palm pond 140 in real time.

That is, if only the water level of the palm pond 140 is checked, the water supply speed to the palm pond 140 can not be controlled. However, if the flow rate of the flow meter 180 is sensed and used in parallel, It is possible to determine the water level of the palm pond 140 as well as the amount of the water that flows out to manage the supply amount and supply speed of the water to the palm pond 140.

FIGS. 3A and 3B are views for explaining the concept of the smart rural water supply system shown in FIG.

3A and 3B, the level sensor 140 detects the level of the level sensor 140 and detects the level of the level sensor 140 and outputs information about the detected level to the control center 110, .

In the case where there are different altitudes due to the topography of the place where the water is used, the adjustment paper 130 stores water for each of a plurality of water use groups grouped into areas having a certain altitude, The water is stored at a higher position so as to easily supply the water with the difference in height.

The adjustment valve 190 is provided on the pipeline 115 to each adjustment member 130 to selectively adjust the supply amount and the supply speed of the water supplied to the adjustment member 130.

The adjustment level detection sensor 185 detects the level of each adjustment level 130 and detects the level of the adjustment level 130 and provides information on the detection level to the control center 110.

At this time, more preferably, the adjusted water level detecting sensor 185 transmits the detection value to the control center 110 to the 3G or 4G wireless mobile communication network. As the detection value is transmitted to the remote control center 110 as described above, the control center 110 grasps the level of each adjustment paper 130 in real time, and supplies water to each of the plurality of adjustment paper 130 appropriately So that the water supply can be effectively managed.

The adjustment valve 190 is provided on the pipeline 115 entering the adjustment member 130 to control the supply priority and the supply amount of the water. The adjustment valve 190 is connected to the remote control center 110, As shown in FIG. The control valve valve 160 may also be controlled by a 3G or 4G wireless mobile communication network.

The control center 110 controls and controls the above-mentioned control unit level sensor 185 and the control valve unit 190 in a wireless or wired manner. The control center 110 monitors the level of each control unit 130 by the control unit level sensor 185 The adjustment valve 190 is opened so as to allow the water to flow into the pipeline 115 that supplies the water to the adjustment member 130 in order to fill the water, and when the water level of the adjustment member 130 is lower than the minimum reference value, 130 is higher than the maximum reference value, the valve 190 is closed so that the water is not introduced into the pipeline 115 supplying the water to the palm pond 130.

In addition, in order to raise water by collecting all of the adjustment paper 130 all at once, a high-capacity pump must be installed so that an excess capacity pump is installed considering the low reservoir 130. [

Therefore, when it is necessary to raise the water to the adjustment plate 130 at the high altitude via the adjustment valve 190 and the adjustment level sensor 185, the pipeline 115 communicating with the adjustment plate 130 at the low level is closed The control valve 190 can control the supply of water using a relatively low-capacity pump without requiring a high-capacity pump for supplying the water to all the adjustment members 130 at a time.

When the water level is sufficiently raised by the adjustment paper 130 of the high place by the adjustment paper level detection sensor 185, the corresponding valve 190 is controlled so as to close the pipeline 115 leading to the adjustment paper 130 of the high place And control the corresponding valve 190 to open the pipeline 115 leading to the adjustment paper 130 of another low zone to supply the water.

With this configuration, unnecessary waste of water can be drastically reduced by optimally supplying the water, and it is possible to minimize the problem of wasting electric power due to pumping for supplying water unnecessarily.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. It is therefore to be understood that the embodiments described above are in all respects illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the detailed description, and all changes or modifications derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalents should be interpreted as being included in the scope of the present invention.
