Specification

Description:Field of the Invention
This invention relates to Automated Control Water Motor with Advanced Sensor Integration.
Background of the Invention
The lack of automation and control mechanisms in the current water filling systems for tanks results in inefficiencies and water waste. These systems require manual action to start and stop the motor, which is inconvenient and could lead to water overflow.
First and foremost, it is challenging to monitor the flow of water through the connected line without a reliable method. Without it, the motor cannot be automatically activated when water starts to flow. As a result, users must manually start the motor and check the water flow, which consumes time and increases the likelihood of human error.
Second, a sensor system that can accurately detect when the tanks are nearing their maximum capacity is crucial. Currently, users have to guess whether the tanks are full or visually inspect them. The absence of an automated detection mechanism can result in overfilling, wasting water and potentially damaging the tank or causing flooding.
The inefficiencies of the current method are further exacerbated by the lack of an automated motor shutdown mechanism. There is no system in place to automatically turn off the motor after the tanks are filled. Consequently, water may continue to flow, leading to wasteful energy usage, increased motor wear and tear, and possibly tank damage due to excessive pressure.

An urgently needed solution is a system that combines sensors to determine water flow through the connected line, activates the motor accordingly, and reliably stops the motor when the tanks are filled to capacity. This innovative solution will improve convenience, conserve water resources, prevent overflow and flooding, and ensure efficient and sustainable water management.

CN203584832U The utility model discloses an automatic water pump which comprises a base, a pump main body and an impeller arranged in the pump main body, wherein the impeller is mounted on a rotor in a motor; a water inlet chamber and a water outlet chamber are formed in the pump main body; a water inlet communicated with the water inlet chamber is formed in the left side at the lower part of the pump main body; a water outlet communicated with the water outlet chamber is formed in the right side at the lower part of the pump main body. The automatic water pump is characterized in that a penetration hole running through the water outer chamber is formed in the upper end of the pump main body; a pump body cover is arranged above the pump main body; a pressure chamber is formed in the pump body cover; a through hole opposite to the penetration hole is formed in the lower end of the pressure chamber; a leather cup is mounted between the through hole and the penetration hole; a controller connected to the pump main body is arranged above the motor. According to the automatic water pump, the pressure in the pump body is adjusted by arranging the pressure chamber instead of a pressure tank in the pump body; due to the design, the weight of the water pump is reduced, the production cost is saved, and the shape of the water pump is innovative to a certain extent.

By providing real-time and precise information, these sensors facilitate effective monitoring of water supply to both the motor and the tanks.
To facilitate the flow monitoring and sensing process, the unit is powered by a battery [16], ensuring uninterrupted operation. When all the water tanks are filled, the power supply will automatically cut off, and the sensing unit will notify the flow monitoring and sensing unit [10]. Additionally, the battery can be connected to an external power supply [17] for prolonged usage and convenient charging.
To provide visual feedback on the tank filling status, the system incorporates a Status Indicator LED [12]. This LED illuminates when the water tanks are completely filled, indicating the successful completion of the filling process. In case of any errors or issues, an error light indication is also displayed, alerting users to potential problems. Furthermore, another LED indicator is utilized to indicate the ongoing filling condition, providing users with real-time information on the process.
To provide audio notifications, the Flow Monitoring and Sensing Unit [10] is connected to an Alert Buzzer [13]. The buzzer emits a buzzing sound when water flow is detected and when the tanks are successfully filled.

This integration enables connectivity to a cloud server [18] through which the system can access additional functionalities. The cloud server, in turn, utilizes an API to provide notifications to a mobile app [19]. The mobile app allows users to receive real-time alerts, notifications regarding successful tank filling, and updates on various conditions and statuses. This remote control and monitoring capability enhance user convenience and accessibility.
