The AI-driven portable water quality analyzer apparatus (100) comprises a compact and ergonomic housing (101) that encloses the internal components. The user interface (102), which is at least, a touch screen or a combination of buttons and a display, allows users to interact with the device and view test results. The sensor array (103) consists of multiple sensors, including colorimetric sensors, a nephelometric sensor, and conductivity sensors. The photonic light box (106) ensures controlled lighting conditions for accurate colorimetric measurements. The processing unit (104), which includes a microcontroller or processor, executes the AI algorithms and processes the data from the sensor array. The IoT module (105) enables wireless communication for data transmission to a remote server or cloud platform. The sample vial inlet (107) allows for easy introduction of sample vial into the device. The charging/data port (108) provides an option for wired data transfer or connection to external devices. The power button (109) controls the device's power, and the battery compartment (110) houses the power source.
The Best Method of Performing the Invention
The best method involves using a microcontroller with sufficient processing power to execute the AI algorithms efficiently. The AI model is trained on a diverse dataset of water samples to ensure accuracy. The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. The IoT implementation ensures secure data transmission and reliable connectivity.
Operation:
Initially, fill the water sample into the sample vial and add the reagents given in the reagent kit according to the specific parameter. The color will be generated at the given time in the manual for the specific reaction. Put this sample vial at the sample vial space (106) in front to the sensor chamber for any colorimetric & turbidity test. The sensor array (102) measures various parameters, based on colour, turbidity. In case of conductivity test, insert probe (110) in the water sample vial from end & second end in the jack (111) of the device, probe will measure the electric conductivity of the sample. The processing unit (103) then uses the AI algorithms to analyze this raw sensor data. The AI algorithms, trained on a large dataset of known water quality parameters, correlate the sensor readings and predict the presence and concentration of various contaminants. The results are displayed on the user interface (101) and simultaneously transmitted via the IoT module (104) to a remote server for data logging and analysis.
