Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates generally to the field of remote monitoring and control systems and more specifically, for managing water levels in overhead storage tanks.
BACKGROUND
Overhead tanks are elevated storage containers used to store water for domestic, commercial, or industrial use. Typically constructed from materials like plastic, concrete, or steel, the overhead tanks are positioned on rooftops or on tall structures to utilize gravity for water distribution. The elevation of the overhead tank ensures consistent and reliable water pressure. Overhead tanks play a crucial role in water management, providing a steady water supply during peak usage times, and serving as a reserve during water shortages or supply interruptions.
In this regard, traditional water management in overhead tank is done manually. The process involves people turning on the motor when water is available. Typically, the manual process requires people to climb up to the overhead tank to check the water level physically and monitor if the overhead tank is filling up. Moreover, the motor configured to fill the overhead tank is often left unattended and remains on even when there is no water being pumped, leading to a significant waste of electricity.
Furthermore, the manual process is inefficient and inconvenient, necessitating constant human intervention. Thousands of people follow this laborious procedure daily, which not only consumes valuable time and effort but also leads to resource wastage. The lack of precise monitoring and control mechanisms results in over-reliance on human judgment, which is prone to error. The inefficiency is further compounded by the potential for water spillage, inadequate water levels during peak usage times, and undue wear and tear on pumping equipment due to prolonged use. As a result, the traditional water management approach to water management in overhead tank fails to optimize resource utilization and maintain a reliable water supply.
Therefore, in light of the foregoing discussion, there exists a need to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks associated with the traditional water management in overhead tank.

Although some modes of carrying out the present disclosure have been disclosed, those skilled in the art would recognize that other embodiments for carrying out or practicing the present disclosure are also possible.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a dual-sensor wireless water motor control and water level monitoring system 100 for overhead tank 104 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The dual-sensor wireless water motor control and water level monitoring system 100 is designed to efficiently control water motor 102 and monitor water level for the overhead tank 104. Typically, the dual-sensor wireless water motor control and water level monitoring system 100 utilizes two sensors to measure the water level and wirelessly communicate dual-sensor data for enabling precise control over the water motor 102 and monitoring the water level for the overhead tank 104 providing real-time monitoring. The dual-sensor wireless water motor control and water level monitoring system 100 offers a seamless and convenient solution for managing the water level in the overhead tank 104, ensuring optimal performance and effective water level management.
The dual-sensor wireless water motor control and water level monitoring system 100 comprises an indoor unit 106 designed for efficient water management in overhead tank 104. The indoor unit 106 is arranged within confined spaces such as a house, building, factory, hotel, apartment, and so forth. The indoor unit 106 comprises a first pressure sensor 108 configured to measure the air pressure within the confined space. Herein, the first pressure sensor 108 is configured to measure the ambient pressure around the indoor unit 106. The first pressure sensor 108 may be selected from at least one of: absolute pressure sensor, gauge pressure sensor, differential pressure sensor or vacuum pressure sensor. The first pressure sensor 108 provides accurate and real-time measurement of pressure relative to ambient pressure.
The indoor unit 106 further comprises a first microcontroller 110. The first microcontroller 110 is configured to be adept at receiving and processing the pressure data relayed by the first pressure sensor 108. The first microcontroller 110 utilizes algorithms to enable the conversion of the raw pressure data the first pressure sensor 108 into meaningful data. The first microcontroller 110 serves as the brain of the indoor unit 106 allowing the indoor unit 106 to make decisions based on the pressure data ensuring efficient and accurate operation. The indoor unit 106 further comprises a user interaction device 112 configured to allow the user to set and store minimum and maximum water levels for the overhead tank 104 in a memory 114. The minimum and maximum water levels for the overhead tank 104 prevent overflow or water scarcity. The user interaction device 112 uses display unit 116 for setting the minimum and maximum water levels for the overhead tank 104. The user interaction device 112 includes buttons or a touch interface for setting water level thresholds such as the minimum and maximum water levels for the overhead tank 104. The stored values in the memory 114 serve as reference points for the first microcontroller 110 to determine when alerts should be triggered.
The memory 114 includes a non-volatile storage device for storing user-defined parameters, such as the minimum and maximum water levels of overhead tank 104, ensuring that the minimum and maximum water levels of overhead tanks 104 are retained even when the power supply is interrupted. The non-volatile memory preserves data without requiring a constant power source. Typically, the user can set the minimum and maximum water levels of the overhead tank 104. For example, the minimum water level is set as the lower limit of the threshold of the total water level in the overhead tank 104, while the maximum level might be set as an upper threshold value for the overhead tank 104, to prevent overflow and water wastage. The non-volatile storage device may be selected but not limited to flash memory, EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory).
Moreover, the user interaction device 112 further comprises a mode switch button configured to switch the mode of the indoor unit 106 between manual and automatic mode to control the water motor respectively. The mode switch button is a feature that gives the user the flexibility to choose the preferred mode of operation based on their specific requirements for water motor control, providing a more customized and adaptable user experience.
The indoor unit 106 further comprises a display unit 116 integrated to offer the user real-time information about the water levels in the overhead tank 104. The display unit 116 is designed to be intuitive and easy to read, providing critical information to the user. The user can assess the current status of the water levels in percentage format (ranging from 0 to 100%), making informed decisions about water usage or troubleshooting if any issues arise. The display unit 116 enhances the user experience and also acts as a tool for maintaining transparency and control over the water level monitoring. The indoor unit 106 further comprises an alert generation module 118 incorporated to notify the user when the water levels exceed predetermined thresholds or when the water is not available even after the water motor 102 is turned on. Which prevents the wastage of electricity and unnecessary wear and tear of the water motor 102. The alert generation module 118 prevents both overflow and depletion scenarios. For example, if the water level rises above the maximum set level, the alert generation module 118 notifies the user to take corrective action, such as stopping the inflow of water or notifying the first microcontroller 110 to stop the water motor 102. Conversely, if the water level falls below the minimum level, the alert can prompt the user to initiate a water refill or notify the first microcontroller 110 to start the water motor 102.
The alert generation module includes visual indicators, audible alarms, and notifications via a connected mobile application to provide timely and clear alerts to prevent overflow or water depletion. The visual indicator displays on the display unit 116 of the indoor unit 106 that change color or flash to signal specific conditions. For example, a green light might indicate that water levels are within the desired range, a yellow light could signal that the water level is approaching the minimum or maximum threshold, and a red light might indicate that urgent action is required, such as when the water level has exceeded the maximum limit or dropped below the minimum level. The audible alarms can be set to sound when the water levels reach critical thresholds, offering a more immediate and attention-grabbing notification. The sound of an alarm can be varied to indicate different types of alerts; for example, a continuous beep might signal a maximum level breach, while an intermittent beep could indicate a minimum level warning. Through the integration of wireless communication, the indoor unit 106 can send real-time alerts to the user on the mobile application to allow users to receive notifications. The notifications may be a push notification, message, or email. The mobile application can also provide detailed information about the alert, such as the current water level, the threshold that has been breached, and recommended actions to take. Additionally, the mobile application can offer historical data and trends, helping users to understand the water usage patterns and make more informed decisions. The indoor unit 106 further comprises a first communication module 120 operatively coupled with the first microcontroller 110. The first communication module 110 is configured to receive pressure data received from an outdoor unit 122. The first communication module 110 includes a receiver configured to receive data.
The dual-sensor wireless water motor control and water level monitoring system 100 comprises the outdoor unit 122 arranged in proximity with the overhead tank 104 to monitor the water levels for maintaining optimal water usage and preventing issues such as overflow or depletion. The outdoor unit 122 is fabricated from high-grade, weather-resistant materials such as stainless steel or heavy-duty plastic to ensure protection against environmental elements such as rain, UV radiation, dust, and temperature fluctuations and so forth. The outdoor unit 122 is designed to be watertight and may include seals and gaskets to prevent moisture ingress, which could damage internal components.
The outdoor unit 122 comprises a second pressure sensor 124 configured to measure both water and air pressure within the overhead tank 104. The second pressure sensor 124 operates by detecting the pressure exerted by the water column as well as the air pressure above the water surface. By measuring the two parameters, the second pressure sensor 124 provides a dynamic pressure within the overhead tank 104. Typically, measuring both water and air pressure allows to account for variations in atmospheric pressure, which can influence the accuracy of water level readings. The outdoor unit 122 further comprises a second microcontroller 126 configured to receive and process the pressure data transmitted by the second pressure sensor 124. The second microcontroller 126 configured to interpret the raw pressure data and convert into meaningful information regarding the water level in the overhead tank 104. In at least one embodiment, the processing involves filtering noise from the second pressure sensor 124 readings, compensating for temperature variations, and calibrating the data to account for any sensor drift over time. The second microcontroller 126 transmits the processed data to the first microcontroller 110 through a second communication module 128.
The outdoor unit 122 comprises the second communication module 128 for transmission of pressure data from the outdoor unit 122 to the indoor unit 106 and exchange information necessary for effective water management in the overhead tank 104. The first communication module 120 and second communication module 128 facilitates real-time communication, allowing the indoor unit 106 to receive precise combination of water and air level data measured by the outdoor unit 122 and display on the display unit 116 for user interaction. The first communication module 120 and second communication module 128 support both wired and wireless communication. The first communication module 120 and second communication module 128 employs wireless communication by using at least one of: microwave, radio wave, satellite, infrared, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular networks. The first communication module 120 and second communication module 128 employ wired communication by using at least one of: twisted pair cable, Ethernet cable, coaxial cable or optical fiber. The first communication module 120 and second communication module 128 incorporate security features to protect the integrity and privacy of the data transmitted between the indoor unit 106 and the outdoor unit 122. The first communication module 120 and second communication module 128 utilize encryption protocols and secure authentication methods to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the data remains confidential and tamper-proof.
The first microcontroller 110 in the indoor unit 106 is configured to compare differential pressure readings to calculate the precise water level in the overhead tank 104. This involves analyzing the difference between the combination of water pressure and air pressure at the bottom of the overhead tank 104, and only the air pressure at the indoor unit 106. By calculating the differential pressure, the first microcontroller 110 determines the height of the water column, the water column directly correlates to the water level. This method is accurate as it takes into account the actual physical parameters within the overhead tank 104, rather than relying on indirect measurements. The first microcontroller 110 continuously monitors the differential readings thereby updating the water level information in real-time and ensuring any changes detected. The second pressure sensor 124 measures both water and air pressure and provides a comprehensive dataset, while the second microcontroller 126 processes and sends the data for accurate water level information. The outdoor unit 122 is designed to operate under various environmental conditions. The second pressure sensor 124 and second microcontroller 126 are housed in a durable enclosure that protects them from external elements such as rain, dust, and temperature extremes providing consistent performance and reliability.
The outdoor unit 122 is equipped with a solar panel designed to provide a sustainable and reliable energy source for the operations of the outdoor unit 122. The solar panel harnesses sunlight and converts it into electrical power, effectively supplying energy to the components of the outdoor unit 122, such as the second pressure sensor 124 and second microcontroller 126. By utilizing solar energy, the outdoor unit 122 can operate independently of the power supply, reducing electricity costs and ensuring continuous functionality even in remote locations providing uninterrupted operation.
The first microcontroller 110 is configured to manage the activation and deactivation of the water motor 102 which pumps water into the overhead tank 104. By using data on the water level received from the second microcontroller 126 and the second pressure sensor 124. When the water level drops below a predefined minimum threshold, the first microcontroller 110 automatically turns on the water motor 102 to start pumping water into the overhead tank 104. Conversely, when the water level reaches the maximum threshold, the first microcontroller 110 turns off the water motor 102 to prevent overflow. Additionally, the first microcontroller 110 also turns off the water motor 102 when the water is not available even when the water motor 102 is turned on. In this way, the conservation of water and electricity is optimized. The automated operation eliminates the need for manual monitoring and intervention, ensuring a consistent water supply without wastage.
Beneficially, the first microcontroller 110 optimizes electricity consumption. Typically, the water motor 102 consumes a significant amount of electricity, especially when operated inefficiently or unnecessarily. By ensuring that the water motor 102 runs only when needed based on precise water level measurements the first microcontroller 110 reduces the operating time of the water motor 102, thereby lowering electricity usage. Thereby leading to cost savings on energy bills and also reduces the environmental impact associated with excessive electricity consumption. Moreover, the first microcontroller 110 is also configured to turn off the water motor 102 when the supply of the water is stopped to avoid overrunning. The water motor 102 is turned on only when the water supply is available.
The first microcontroller 110 is designed to override the first microcontroller 110 based on user commands or in response to emergency conditions. Typically, allowing the user to manually intervene and control the water motor 102, ensuring flexibility and safety in the operation. For example, if the user needs to perform maintenance, the user can temporarily disable the automatic control to prevent the water motor 102 from starting unexpectedly. Additionally, in emergency situations such as a detected leakage or unexpected water usage, the first microcontroller 110 can immediately halt water motor 102 operations to prevent damage or water wastage. The override ensures that users have control over the dual-sensor wireless water motor control and water level monitoring system 100, enhancing reliability and safety.
Typically, the indoor unit 106 and the outdoor unit 122 need to be powered up separately and simultaneously. When the outdoor unit 122 is powered up, the outdoor unit 122 initializes the second microcontroller 126, that controls the second pressure sensor 124. The second pressure sensor 124 starts measuring the air and water pressure combined, from the water tank 104. Then the second microcontroller 126 receives the pressure data, processes and encrypts the pressure data, and sends it to the indoor unit 106 periodically. The pressure data is only sent when there is some change in the water level to minimize the power consumption.
When the indoor unit 106 is powered up, the indoor unit 106 initializes the first microcontroller 110, that controls the first pressure sensor 108 attached to the first microcontroller 110. The first pressure sensor 108 starts measuring the air pressure only. Then the first microcontroller 110 receives the pressure data from the outdoor unit 122, decrypts it and further processes it based on certain pre-defined calculations and calculates water levels through differential pressure readings from the first pressure sensor 108 and second pressure sensor 124 and displays real-time water level of the overhead tank 104 in % (0 to 100) based on further calculation, and wherein triggers alerts through the indoor unit 106 based on certain conditions and automatically controls the water motor 102 based on set conditions.

Typically, the second microcontroller 126 processes the pressure data and utilizes the second amplifier 204 to transmit the processed pressure data to the indoor unit 106. The indoor unit 106 utilizes the first amplifier 202 to receive the pressure data from the outdoor unit 122. The indoor unit 106 provides the user with the indication denoting the water level in the overhead tank 104. The indications correspond to the water level in the overhead tank 104 and alert the user to take the necessary actions. The actions include turning ON the water motor 102 or turning OFF the water motor 102.
