Description

Fluid monitoring station

This creation relates to a fluid monitoring station, and in particular to a fluid monitoring station that automatically stores an abnormal fluid.

Waste water is inevitably produced in the process of industrial manufacturing. In order to comply with environmental regulations, monitoring indicators for wastewater must meet standard values for emissions. In order to monitor whether manufacturers comply with environmental regulations, the regulatory authorities also need to monitor the quality of the discharged water as a basis for management. In the past, the discharge water was pre-processed and controlled by manual sampling and testing. However, the manual sampling test was random sampling, so it was not time-sensitive and could not establish long-term observation data. In addition, manual sampling and testing are labor intensive, and water quality analysis is expensive and inconsistent with economic benefits.

A more feasible solution is to set up an automated monitoring station at the water quality monitoring point to measure water quality data over a long period of time. Although automated measurements can establish long-term observations, it is not possible to completely eliminate abnormalities in measurement values caused by instrument abnormalities or other factors. In this case, manual retests are required to confirm the results of the measurements. In view of this, how to sample the water body when the measurement value is abnormal is the goal that is currently in great need.

The present invention provides a fluid monitoring station which is provided with a sampling tube and a solenoid valve in a fluid sampling box, and can open a solenoid valve to sample an abnormal fluid into the storage tube via a sampling tube when an abnormality occurs in the measured value, so that When the measured value is abnormal, the abnormal fluid is automatically stored as a basis for the manual retest and the inspection.

The fluid monitoring station of an embodiment of the present invention comprises a fluid sampling tank, a detecting device, a sampling tube, a solenoid valve, at least one storage bottle, and a controller. The fluid sampling tank samples a fluid to be tested to one of the measurement spaces of the fluid sampling tank. The detecting device has at least one sensor for measuring the value of one of the fluids in the measurement space. The sampling tube is connected to the measurement space. A solenoid valve is provided in the sampling tube to control the sampling amount of one of the sampling tubes. The storage bottle is disposed below one of the sampling outlets of the sampling tube to store an abnormal fluid flowing out of the sampling tube. The controller is electrically connected to the detecting device and the electromagnetic valve, wherein the controller determines whether the monitoring value measured by the detecting device is abnormal, and outputs an abnormal signal to trigger the opening of the electromagnetic valve when the monitoring value is abnormal, so that the abnormal fluid is injected through the sampling tube. Storage bottle.

In one embodiment, the fluid sampling tank 11 has an inlet port 111 and a first discharge port 112. The fluid to be detected is extracted by the inflow pump P and introduced into the fluid sampling tank 11 via the inlet pipe 111P, and after the monitored value of the fluid is measured, it is discharged through the first discharge port 112 and the first discharge pipe 112P. It can be understood that an intake valve 111V can be provided in the intake pipe 111P to control the intake flow. Similarly, a first discharge valve 112V may be disposed in the first discharge pipe 112P to control the discharge amount. Thus, the fluid sampling tank 11 can continuously sample the fluid and measure the monitored value of the fluid.

In one embodiment, the fluid sampling tank 11 includes a spoiler 113. The spoiler 113 divides the fluid sampling tank 11 into an inflow space SPi and a measurement space SPm, wherein the inflow port 111 of the fluid sampling tank 11 is connected to the inflow space SPi, and the first discharge port 112 of the fluid sampling tank 11 is connected to The space SPm is measured, and the height of the baffle 113 is lower than the height of the side wall of the fluid sampling tank 11. Thus, when the liquid level of the inflow space SPi is higher than the spoiler 113, the fluid overflows the spoiler 113 and flows into the measurement space SPm. The overflow of the fluid to be detected from the inflow space SPi to the measurement space SPm can reduce the fluid fluctuation of the measurement space SPm, so that a relatively stable measurement value can be obtained. In one embodiment, the fluid sampling tank 11 includes a second discharge port 114 that communicates with the inflow space SPi to discharge fluid from the inflow space SPi as needed. It can be understood that a second discharge pipe 114P can be connected to the second discharge port 114, and a second discharge valve 114V is disposed in the second discharge pipe 114P to control the discharge amount of the second discharge pipe 114P.

In an embodiment, the bottom of the measurement space SPm of the fluid sampling box 11 may include at least one first slope 115. According to this configuration, the impurities or sludge deposited on the bottom of the measurement space SPm can be concentrated along the first slope R1 at a relatively low point of the first slope R1, so that it is easier to remove the impurities or sludge at the bottom. For example, the position of the first discharge port 112 is close to the relatively low point of the first slope 115 to discharge the impurities or sludge at the bottom of the measurement space SPm and the suction by the fluid to reduce the accumulation of impurities or sludge. Similarly, the first discharge port 112 is disposed at the lowest point of the bottom of the measurement space SPm to avoid the accumulation of water.

Similarly, the bottom of the inflow space SPi of the fluid sampling box 11 may include at least one second slope 116. According to this configuration, the impurities or sludge deposited at the bottom of the inflow space SPi can be concentrated along the second slope 116 at a relatively low point of the second slope 116, so that it is easier to remove the impurities or sludge at the bottom. It can be understood that the location of the second discharge port 114 is close to the relatively low point of the second slope 116 to discharge the impurities or sludge at the bottom of the inlet space SPi and the suction by the fluid to reduce the accumulation of impurities or sludge. Similarly, the second discharge port 114 is disposed at the lowest point of the bottom of the inlet space SPi to avoid the accumulation of water.

The detecting device 20 has at least one sensor 21 for measuring the monitored value of the fluid in the measuring space SPm. In one embodiment, the sensor 21 measures the monitored value of the fluid in the measurement space SPm of the fluid sampling tank 11 via the detection port of the cover 12. For example, the detection device 20 can measure one or more indicators of pH, Suspended Substance (SS), conductivity, temperature, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and heavy metals.

The sampling tube 41 is connected to the measurement space SPm of the fluid sampling tank 11. The solenoid valve 42 is disposed in the sampling tube 41 to control the sampling amount of one of the sampling tubes 41. The storage bottle 43 is disposed below one of the sampling outlets of the sampling tube 41 to store the fluid flowing out of the sampling tube 41. For example, opening the solenoid valve 42 causes the sampling tube 41 to be drawn out of the fluid in the measurement space SPm and injected into the storage bottle 43 to hold the fluid. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the sampling tube 41 is a measurement space SPm that is connected to the fluid sampling tank 11. However, referring to FIG. 2, in an embodiment, the sampling tube 41 can be connected to the inflow space SPi of the fluid sampling tank 11 to sample the fluid in the inflow space SPi. It can be understood that the fluid monitoring station of the present invention can also set a plurality of sets of sampling tubes 41 and solenoid valves 42 to separately sample the inflow space SPi of the fluid sampling tank 11 and the fluid in the measuring space SPm.

The controller 30 is electrically connected to the detecting device 20 and the solenoid valve 42. The controller 30 can determine whether the monitoring value measured by the detecting device 20 is abnormal, and generate an abnormal signal according to whether the monitoring value measured by the detecting device 20 is abnormal. For example, the controller 30 outputs an abnormal signal to trigger the opening of the solenoid valve 42 when the monitoring value measured by the detecting device 20 is abnormal, so that the fluid can be injected into the storage bottle 43 via the sampling tube 41 to save the monitoring value abnormally. Abnormal fluids for subsequent manual retests. It can be understood that the use of the solenoid valve 42 to control the sampling of the abnormal fluid can avoid the additional provision of electronic components such as a peristaltic pump. Therefore, the fluid monitoring station of the present invention can not only reduce energy consumption but also reduce hardware and maintenance costs.

In one embodiment, the fluid monitoring station of the present invention further includes a carrier tray 44 and a drive mechanism 45.

The drive mechanism 45 can drive the carrier tray 44 such that different storage bottles 43 are located below the sampling outlet of the sampling tube 41. For example, when one of the storage bottles 43 is filled with abnormal fluid, the driving mechanism 45 can drive the carrier tray 44 so that the empty storage bottle 43 is located below the sampling outlet of the sampling tube 41, so that when the next monitoring value is abnormal Save abnormal fluids. In one embodiment, the drive mechanism 45 can be a motor and a transmission component such as a gear to drive the carrier disk 44 to rotate.

It will be appreciated that the sampling tube 41 may retain the previous sampled fluid. In one embodiment, the opening time of the solenoid valve 42 can be controlled to reduce the residual fluid of the sampling tube 41 after sampling. Alternatively, in an embodiment, the carrier tray 44 further includes an abnormal fluid discharge port 441. Before the abnormal fluid is sampled, the driving mechanism 45 can drive the carrier tray 44 such that the abnormal fluid discharge port 441 of the carrier tray 44 is located below the sampling outlet. At this time, the solenoid valve 42 is opened to discharge the abnormal fluid remaining in the sampling tube 41, and The abnormal fluid discharge port 441 of the carrier tray 44 is discharged.

Referring again to FIG. 1, the monitored values measured by the detecting device 20 can be stored in a built-in storage device such as a memory, a hard disk, a compact disk, a magnetic tape, or the like in the fluid monitoring station 1. Alternatively, the monitored value measured by the detecting device 20 can also be uploaded to the remote server. In one embodiment, the fluid monitoring station 1 of the present invention further includes a communication unit 50 electrically connected to the controller 30. The communication unit 50 can transmit the monitored value of the fluid measured by the detecting device 20 and the abnormal signal to the remote server. For example, the communication unit 50 can transmit data to a remote server by using a wired area network, a wireless area network, a mobile communication network, or the like.
