Field of the Invention
This invention relates to IoT based solution for Overhead Water Tank Automation System
Background of the Invention
The user frequently isn't aware that the water tank is either full or empty. When this occurs, the residents suffer from a lack of water and occasionally from water waste due to an overflowing water tank. Water tank operators can use the latest equipment at the sitting main office to determine whether the tank is full or empty.
CN200958230YA water-saving system for buildings, characterized in that an elevated water tank is provided on each floor; roof rainwater is conducted by water pipes into the elevated water tank positioned on the top floor; for each floor under the top floor, an overflow pipe is provided to conduct water from the elevated water tank positioned on the upper floor to the elevated water tank of the lower floor, and sewage discharged by bathtubs and washing machines on the upper floor is conducted by drainpipes to the elevated water tank of the lower floor; overflow pipe of the elevated water tank and the drainpipe of bathtubs and washing machines of the ground floor are connected to the sewer; the elevated water of each floor also provides water for flushing of closets of present floor. The utility model provides a water-saving system among all floors from top to bottom, without having to change the drainage altitude of all water equipments, without the need of water pumps; besides, the water source is sufficient, with huge moisture storage capacity, strong practicality and excellent water-saving effects
Research Gap: IoT-based overhead water tank management system that would remotely manage the water level.
If the water level of the tank is below a certain level and requires refilling, an alert would be sent to the individual (incase of household), and to the control room (in case of housing society or large business).
CN203669018U The utility model belongs to the fields of the environmental engineering, the bioengineering and the water supply and drainage science and engineering and provides a device which relates to all kinds of water experiment devices and is used for stabilizing water pressure in the process of continuous gravity water feeding. A water inlet pressure stabilizer for an experiment device is composed of an internal overflow pressure stabilizing device and an external water storage tank. The internal overflow pressure stabilizing device comprises a guide cylinder 1, an overflow cylinder 2, a supporting rib plate 3, an overflow cylinder water inlet pipe 5, an overflow cylinder water outlet pipe 8, an overflow cylinder emptying pipe 9, an overflow cylinder water inlet valve 10, an overflow cylinder water outlet valve 13 and an overflow cylinder emptying valve 14. The external water storage tank comprises a circulation water tank 4, a circulation water tank water supplying pipe 7, a circulation water tank emptying pipe 6, a circulation water tank water supplying valve 12 and a circulation water tank emptying valve 11. The water inlet pressure stabilizer has the advantages that compared with the prior art, stable water feeding pressure is provided for water feeding of the experiment device by the overflow presser stabilizing device and constant water inflow of the experiment device is guaranteed, so that support is provided for stable hydraulic retention time obtained for the experiment device.
Research Gap: The system will be highly beneficial in water conservation, as in case the water level of the tank reaches the level where it could overflow, an alert is generated, so that, the water supply is stopped.
None of the prior art indicate above either alone or in combination with one another disclose what the present invention has disclosed. Present invention is IoT based solution for Overhead Water Tank Automation System
