Water level alarm control system

This creation is about a water level alarm control system, especially a water level alarm control system with water level alarm function and water level adjustment function.

Taiwan is located in the western Pacific monsoon region, which is extremely vulnerable to disasters. On average, it has been hit by typhoons in the western Pacific for more than four times a year. The heavy rains caused by typhoons often lead to frequent floods and serious economic losses. On the other hand, with the global warming and climate change, the rainfall patterns have changed. In recent years, extreme rainstorms of heavy rainfall have been common in recent years. Extreme rainfall patterns are likely to cause urban areas to be unable to eliminate excess rainfall and regional platoons in a short period of time. Flooding and flooding seriously threaten the lives and property of the people.

According to this, the monitoring and early warning of floods has always been the primary target of disaster prevention. After receiving the manual notification, the known flooding warning method is to send relevant personnel to the flooding site to measure the water level by a water level measuring device, and then measure The results are reported to the disaster response center for statistical processing to determine the flooding situation and then issue an alarm. However, this method often requires a large amount of manpower to be used for flooding the on-site water level measurement and result aggregation statistics. In order to solve the problems faced by the above-mentioned conventional flooding warning method, in the low-lying areas with high flooding probability, the water level measuring device is usually set in standing to monitor the water level at any time, and automatically returns the measurement through wired or wireless communication. As a result, to save disaster relief resources.

For example, the Republic of China Announcement No. M351893 "Lamp Water Level Observing System" patent case discloses a conventional water level warning system. By setting a water level measuring unit in each detection area, each of the water level measuring units is equipped with a setting one. Satellite positioning unit to measure the detectors The flooding water level and the location of the area are measured, and each of the water level measuring units is coupled to a control center by wireless transmission. In this way, the control center can instantly obtain the instantaneous water level depth information of each detection area, so that the disaster prevention unit or the local government and other relevant personnel can clearly understand the scope of the flood disaster, and quickly determine the strain and rescue measures according to the disaster information. .

If the conventional water level alarm system is to be used to grasp the flooding water level of each detection area, it is necessary to widely set the water level measuring unit. However, the water level measuring unit must measure the water level information of the detecting area, so that the structure is complicated and the manufacturing cost is high. Due to cost considerations, the actual implementation of this method is often only for low-lying terrain. The water level measuring unit is installed in the flood-prone area, and it is difficult to complete a large-scale flooding water level monitoring.

Furthermore, the conventional water level warning system needs to report the measurement results to the disaster response center for statistical processing to determine the flooding situation, and then issue a flooding forecast or warning. However, during a typhoon or heavy rain, if a disaster response center or a local government fails to timely report the flooding situation and issue an alarm due to shortage of personnel or misjudgment, it will cause the people in the high-risk area to be caught off guard and seriously harm them. Safety of life and property. For the above reasons, there are often heavy rains that cause flooding of the basement of the house. Many car owners love the car but they don’t know it; or the public wakes up without any precautions and finds that the home is flooded and knee-stricken. situation. In addition, during the floods, the relevant personnel forgot to turn on the pumping motor or forget to close the gate of the floodgate, and the flooding caused the flooding to intensify and spread, resulting in extremely serious economic losses. Since the conventional water level alarm system has only the water level information return function, it cannot effectively stop the above accident.

The architecture of the preferred embodiment is different from the previous embodiment in that it further includes a wireless receiving unit 4, which can be a conventional signal receiver, a micro control unit (MCU). Or the other conventional signal transmission device is coupled to the transmission unit 12 by wireless transmission to receive the detection result of the water level detecting unit 11, and the wireless receiving unit 4 is coupled to the alarm unit 2 and the water level adjustment respectively. Unit 3.

By adding the wireless receiving unit 4, it can be avoided that when the transmission unit 12 is directly coupled to the alarm unit 2 and the water level adjusting unit 3, there may be a problem of high power consumption and high installation cost. For example, in the embodiment, the wireless receiving unit 4 is a conventional radio frequency receiver. Therefore, the transmitting unit 12 can select a conventional wireless radio frequency transmitter, and the water level detecting unit 11 is detected by the transmitting unit 12. The measurement result is encoded to form an RF signal transmission with an intensity of about 5 μW. After receiving the RF signal and decoding the detection result of the water level detecting unit 11, the wireless receiving unit 4 outputs the data to the alarm unit 2 and the water level adjusting unit 3.

With the above configuration, since the transmission unit 12 only needs to send a signal with a lower intensity to the wireless receiving unit 4, the detection result of the water level detecting unit 11 can be output to the wireless receiving unit 4 through the transmission. The alarm unit 2 and the water level adjusting unit 3 are controlled. Taking the transmission power of the transmission unit 12 of about 5 μW and the standby current of about 0.03 μA per hour as an example, by using three 1.5 volts of the No. 3 battery, the transmission unit 12 can be continuously transmitted for 280 hours or standby for 10 years. In the above, the water level detecting module 1 can be completely powered by a battery, and no additional power line is needed. Therefore, setting the wireless receiving unit 4 can further reduce the power consumption and the installation cost of the water level detecting module 1.

Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention, and it is still within the spirit and scope of the present invention to make various changes and modifications to the above embodiments. The technical scope of protection, therefore, the scope of protection of this creation is subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application attached.
