Description

An automatic machine for the sale of water refers to commercial equipment and is intended for the automatic sale of clean drinking water. An automatic machine for selling water can be as close as possible to the place of residence.

There are known technical solutions aimed at solving the problem of creating an automatic machine for selling water (see copyright certificates No. 22995, dated January 20, 1928 and 24593 dated January 23, 1930).

Closest to the claimed technical solution is the "Automatic machine for the sale of water" - AC 24593.

The machine is made in the form of a cast-iron column into which a coin is lowered; water meter; water meter, sorting device with jaws for receiving coins; where the shut-off valve at the outlet of the pipeline is connected to a control device made in the form of a lever, a handle and a rotatable plate, which are connected to the tap of the exhaust pipe located on the water meter, where the water meter is connected to the water meter, where the shut-off valve at the outlet of the exhaust pipe is part of the water meter, where the calculation device is connected with a shut-off valve at the outlet of the exhaust pipe.

The disadvantage of these solutions is that these structures are made of mechanical parts, and the payment for water is made with metal coins. Water is supplied from a stationary well - the water source in this machine is the water supply (column).

There is no possibility of combining data with a machine into a remotely controlled system, and each machine cannot be controlled externally.

The technical result of the claimed device is:

1. In simplifying the maintenance of the machine due to:

the use of an electronic unit as a calculating device, which accepts electronic or magnetic cards that have a positive asset and a unique authorized number, with the subsequent change of an asset that transmits information about the card and completed purchase to the control device, and ultimately allows automated accounting and control water consumption and the size of its payment, the ability to compile automated reports;

application as a control device for a microcontroller.

2. In connecting the output lines of the control device to the control room - the control computer via an external communication line, which allows you to organize an automated trading network consisting of the same machines for the sale of water, each of which has its own identification number. At the same time, monitoring the operation of several machines and fixing their emergency conditions, the ability to remotely disable the machine.

Variants of the functional diagram of the inventive machine for the sale of water are presented in Figure 1-Figure 4.

Figure 1 - embodiment of the machine, where the water meter is made in the form of: a control device 5, which controls the electromagnetic valve of the tank for storing water 10; where the valve of the water storage tank 10 is connected to the control device 5 of the communication lines 5.10; the outlet of the water storage tank 1, which is blocked by the electromagnetic valve of the water storage tank 10, is connected through a pipeline 7 to a water meter 8 having a connection with a control device 5 via lines 8.5, 5.8.

Figure 2 - embodiment of the machine, where the water meter is made in the form of a system consisting of:

measuring tank 11, which has: a neck, an air valve 14, indicators of the minimum and maximum levels 13 and 12, connected by communication lines 13.5 and 12.5 with the control device 5;

the electromagnetic valve of the tank for storing water 10, connecting the tank for storing water 1 with the neck of the measuring tank 11 through the pipe 7, and the electromagnetic valve of the tank for storing water 10 is connected to the control device 5 of the communication lines 5.10;

the electromagnetic valve of the measuring tank 19, connected to the water meter 8, from the output of which through the pipe 9, the water flows to the buyer.

Figure 3 - embodiment of the machine, where the water meter is made in the form of a control device 5, which controls the pump 15, lowered into the tank for storing water 1, connected to it by communication lines 5.15.

Figure 4 - embodiment of the machine, where the water meter is made in the form of a pump 15, lowered into a tank for storing water 1, connected to a control device for communication lines 5.15; where the hose of the pump 15 is used as a pipeline 7, and is connected to the neck of the measuring tank 11;

the measuring tank 11 has an air valve 14, a neck connected to the pipeline 7 and an outlet closed by a solenoid valve of the measuring tank 19, connected to a water meter 8, from the outlet of which water flows to the customer through the pipe 9;

the electromagnetic valve 19 is connected by communication lines 5.19 with the control device 5.

The device operates as follows:

Through the neck in the tank for storing water 1 poured water. On the communication line 4.5, a signal is generated that arrives at the control device 5, notifying him that there is water in the water storage tank 1. If the water level is below this mark, then a signal is sent through the control devices 5 along lines 5-18, notifying the control room 18 about the low water level in the water storage tank 1.

When the minimum level sensor 3 is triggered, the control unit 5 generates a signal to reach the minimum water level in the water storage tank 1, issues it to the communication line 3.5, and sends a signal about the absence of water to the control room 18 through the external communication line 5-18. When triggered in the tank for storing water 1 sensor minimum water level 3, the control device 5 produces a signal "NO WATER", which

upon receipt of a vacation signal for the next batch of water, it blocks the tariff change system. At the same time, the message “No water” appears on the display panel 17, which disappears after filling the water storage tank (the signal is sent to the display panel via communication line 5.17).

The condition for the issuance of control signals by the control device 5 to the pump or solenoid valves, in all cases, is the coincidence of the ready signals coming from the calculating device 6 via communication lines 6.5 and the presence of water in the water storage tank 1.

Depending on the version of the water meter, signals are either given to turn on the pump, or to open the solenoid valves 10 and 19, as well as air valves 2 and 14. Water through the pipeline 7 is supplied to the measuring tank 11 either by gravity or by means of the pump 15.

In the measuring tank 11, when the water reaches the level of the indicator 13, a signal is generated on the communication line 13.5, which enters the control device 5, in which, in turn, a signal is produced, which is transmitted via the communication line 5.10, closing the electromagnetic valve of the water storage tank 10.

The consumer receives a given portion of water after installing an electronic or magnetic card in the settlement device 6, made in the form of an electronic unit, which provides the reception of electronic or magnetic cards with the subsequent change of their asset.

If the water meter in the machine for selling water is made in the form of an electromagnetic dispenser, then water enters the outlet pipe 9 immediately after the control signal is supplied to the electromagnetic valve of the water storage tank 10 via communication line 5.10.

At the same time, a control signal is generated on line 5.8, through which the output solenoid valve on the water meter 8 opens and water passes through the pipe 9 to the consumer.

Water meter 8 measures the amount of water that has passed through the outlet. Data from the water meter 8 can be supplied to the control device 5 via communication lines 5.8, and from it it is transmitted to the control room 18, for example, via a telephone line.

Through the water meter according to the signals of the control device 5, the consumer receives a portion of water.
