[0021] The present invention relates to a modular bath tub that is capable of providing a bathing arrangement for toddler ensuring a safe bath by preventing drowning risks, controlling water conditions for the toddler’s comfort, and delivering interactive entertainment for a more pleasant bathing experience.
[0022] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a modular bath tub is illustrated, comprises of a water container 101 with a slight incline having an arrangement of inlet port 102, and outlet port 103, a filtration unit 104 installed at the inlet ports 102, filtration unit 104 includes a net layer 104a, an activated carbon layer 104b, an RO (Reverse Osmosis) membrane 104c, a chlorination slot 104d, an ion exchange section 104e, an ultrasonic sensor 105 on apex portion of the water container101, a motorized iris unit 106 integrated with outlet ports 103, a receptacle 107 provided with the water container 101, a multi-sectioned chamber 108 installed with the water container 101, an electronic nozzle 109 integrated with each of the sections, and an augmented reality holographic projector 110 mounted on upper section of the water container 101.
[0023] The present invention includes a water container 101 incorporating various components associated with the water container 101, developed to be positioned on a fixed surface. The water container 101 is filled with water mimicking profile of a traditional bathtub. The water container 101 is accessed by a caretaker to accommodate a toddler within the water container 101 for bathing.
[0024] In an embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the water container 101 is preferred to be in oval-shape with a slight incline feature with respect to ground surface. The oval shape mimics profile of a traditional bathtub with aesthetic appeal and ergonomic design. The oval shape features rounded, smooth contours providing a comfortable bathing experience, offering ample space to relax and stretch out.
[0025] The water container 101 includes an arrangement of inlet and outlet ports 102, 103 which are accessed by the caretaker to connect a conduit pipe with the ports. The respected inlet and outlet ports 102, 103 resemble for required filling and/or draining water from the water container 101.
[0026] The caretaker is required to access and presses a switch button arranged on the water container 101 to activate the tub for associated processes of the tub. The switch button when pressed by the user, closes an electrical circuit and allows currents to flow for powering an associated microcontroller of the tub for operating of all the linked components for performing their respective functions upon actuation.
[0027] The microcontroller (not shown), mentioned herein, is preferably an Arduino microcontroller. The Arduino microcontroller used herein controls the overall functionality of the components linked to it. The Arduino microcontroller is an open-source programming platform.
[0028] After the activation of the tub, the caretaker accesses a user interface which is installed in a computing unit linked with the microcontroller wirelessly by means of a communication module. The user interface enables the user to provide input regarding bathing preferences, skin health condition, optimal water depth, along with water quality for toddler’s bath.
[0029] The communication module includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The Wi-Fi module contains transmitters and receivers that use radio frequency signals to transmit data wirelessly to the microcontroller. The wireless module typically includes components such as antennas, amplifiers, and processors to facilitate communication and further connected to networks such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular networks, allowing tubs to exchange information over short or long distances.
[0030] In accordance to the caretaker’s input, the microcontroller activates a sensing module integrated with inner portion of the water container 101 for monitoring quality of bathing water. The sensing module (not shown) includes a turbidity sensor, a pH sensor, a temperature sensor, and a bacterial detection sensor.
[0031] The turbidity sensor (not shown) of the sensing module detects presence of particles or contaminants. The turbidity sensor detects the presence of particles or contaminants in the water by measuring the amount of light scattered by suspended particles. The turbidity sensor emits a light beam into the water, and when particles or contaminants are present, they scatter the light in different directions. The turbidity sensor then detects the scattered light and calculates the turbidity, or cloudiness, of the water. Higher turbidity indicates a greater concentration of particles or contaminants and the signal from the turbidity sensor are sent to the microcontroller for processing.
[0032] The acidity or alkalinity of the water is detected by the pH sensor (not shown). The pH sensor is installed with a pair of electrodes. When the electrode is immersed into the water, the electrode senses the hydrogen ions due to the positive charge of the ions. Thus, detecting the pH of the water. The sensor further converts the detected pH into electric current and transmit the signal to the microcontroller.
[0033] The temperature of the water on real time basis is monitored by the temperature sensor (not shown). The temperature sensor used herein, is composed of two type of metal wire joint together when the sensor experiences a heat then a voltage is generated in the two terminal of the temperature sensor that is proportional to the temperature and the signal is sent to the microcontroller. The microcontroller calibrates the voltage in terms of temperature from the received signal of the temperature sensor in order to monitor the temperature of the water in the water container 101.
[0034] The bacterial detection sensor (not shown) of the sensing module detects presence of bacteria in the water. The bacterial detection sensor works by identifying the presence of microorganisms in the water through a process called optical or electrochemical sensing. The bacterial detection sensor typically uses specialized light or electrical signals to detect bacterial cells. When water passes through the sensor, it interacts with the bacteria present, causing a change in the bacterial detection sensor’s output, such as a shift in light absorption or electrical resistance. This change is then analyzed by the microcontroller, which determines the concentration of bacteria in the water. The microcontroller analyzes combined signal of the sensing module to assess the quality of water for bathing purposes.
[0035] In case of detection of low quality of the water, the microcontroller actuates a motorized iris unit 106 integrated with outlet ports 103 to open and drain water from the water container 101. The motorized iris unit 106, mentioned herein, consists of a ring in bottom configured with multiple slots along periphery, multiple number of blades and blade actuating ring on the top. The blades are pivotally jointed with blade actuating ring and the base plate are hooked over the blade. The blade actuating ring is rotated clock and antilock wise by a DC motor embedded in ball actuating ring which results in opening of the holes to discard the water into a receptacle 107 connected with the water container 101.
[0036] Post discarding of bad quality water, the microcontroller (not shown) actuates a water pump associated with the tub and connected with a water supply for filling water into the water container 101. The electric pump is used to induce flow or raise the pressure of the water of the supplying water source. The working principle of pump involves imparting energy to the water by means of a centrifugal force developed by the rotation of an impeller that has several blades or vanes. The impeller of the pump is rotated by an electric DC (Direct Current) motor. The water in the specified portion enters the impeller’s eye and translates through conduit to transfer water to the inlet ports 102 of the water container 101 to fill the water container 101 with water.
[0037] Simultaneously, the microcontroller actuates a filtration unit 104 installed at the inlet ports 102. The filtration unit 104 is responsible to purify water sourced from external storage sources. The topmost part of the filtration unit 104 includes a net layer 104a to trap large particles/ debris. The net layer 104a works as preliminary filter for the sourced water. The water from the net layer 104a is then entered to an activated carbon layer 104b placed after the net. The activated carbon layer 104b is responsible to remove organic contaminants.
[0038] Post filtration of the water from the activated carbon layer 104b, the water is directed to an RO (Reverse Osmosis) membrane 104c attached to filtration unit 104. The RO membrane 104c is responsible for removing chemical pollutants and harmful compounds from the water.
[0039] The RO (Reverse Osmosis) membrane 104c works by using a semi-permeable filter to remove contaminants from water. The RO membrane 104c operates through a pressure-driven process where water is forced through the membrane 104c, which allows only water molecules to pass through while blocking larger particles like salts, chemicals, and harmful substances. This process effectively removes impurities such as heavy metals, chlorine, and dissolved minerals, resulting in purified water. The RO membrane 104c ensures that the water is free from chemical pollutants, making it safer for the toddler's bath. The purified water, after passing through the membrane 104c, contributes to optimal water quality and safety.
[0040] Post removal of chemical pollutants and harmful compounds from the water, the water is treated from a chlorination slot 104d. The water is treated with introduction of chlorine which works as a disinfectant to eliminate any remaining pathogens or microorganisms from the water.
[0041] In the filtration process, the mineral composition of the water is maintained by an ion exchange section 104e included in the filtration unit 104. The water is checked with the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels by means of a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) sensor (not shown) integrated with the filtration unit 104.
[0042] The TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) sensor operates by measuring the conductivity of water, which correlates to the concentration of dissolved ions like salts, minerals, and metals. The TDS sensor sends a small electrical current through the water and measures how well the water conducts electricity. Higher levels of dissolved solids result in higher conductivity. The TDS sensor provides real-time data on TDS levels, allowing the microcontroller to adjust the water quality as needed.
[0043] If the measured TDS levels exceed safe limits for the toddler’s bath, the water is required to be treated within the ion exchange section 104e. microcontroller activates the ion exchange section 104e or filtration unit 104 to improve the water’s quality and maintain safety. The water is directed to flow into the ion exchange section 104e such that uses resin beads to facilitate exchange of hard water ions with soft ions.
[0044] In the ions exchange section 104e, the hard water flows through the resin beads. The calcium and magnesium ions gets exchanged for sodium or potassium ions in the process, effectively for softening the water. The exchange of ions improves quality of water for toddler’s bath. The water filtration process ensures better quality of water and the water is constantly maintained at optimal levels for toddler’s safety.
[0045] During toddler’s bathing, the position of toddler is monitored by an ultrasonic sensor 105 positioned on apex portion of the water container 101. The ultrasonic sensor 105 disclosed herein, consists of an emitter and a receiver that acts as a transducer. The emitter emits ultrasonic radiation towards toddler. Then, the radiation strike to the toddler and reflect back which are captured by the receiver. The signal is sent to the microcontroller. The microcontroller processes the received signal from the ultrasonic sensor 105 and on the basis of time lapse in between the sent and received radiations, the microcontroller determines the position of toddler in the water container 101.
[0046] In case the microcontroller detects toddler’s head to move below the water level, indicating a potential drowning hazard, the microcontroller immediately trigger actuates the iris unit 106 to discard water into a receptacle 107 provided with the water container 101. The microcontroller regulates the amount of water during discarding such that prevents the toddler from sinking and reducing water level to a safer depth.
[0047] The water container 101 is integrated with multi-sectioned chamber 108 such that each section stores various essential oils. Each of the section is equipped with an electronic nozzle 109 which are dynamically operated by the microcontroller. During the toddler’s bath, the microcontroller actuates the nozzle 109 for dispensing a fine mist of user-specified essential oil into the surrounding environment.
[0048] The electronic nozzle 109, used herein, controls flow of oils by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a microcontroller. This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure, and oils level in view of dispensing the oils as per the requirement, creating a calming and soothing atmosphere for toddler.
[0049] The timing of the bathing session is monitored by a timer (not shown) integrated with the microcontroller (not shown). The timer is responsible for countdown the time duration of toddler’s bath. The timer includes a RTC (real time clock) comprises of a controller, oscillator and an embedded quartz crystal resonator. The function of RTC (real time clock) is to keep accurate track of time even when a power supply is turned off or the tub is placed in low power mode. Once the microcontroller evaluates the monitored countdown reaches a pre-set bathing time limit, the microcontroller sends an alert notification to the computing unit to indicate bathing session has reached recommended duration.
[0050] During the bathing session, the toddler is engaged and entertained via an augmented reality holographic projector 110. The upper portion of the water container 101 incorporates the holographic projector 110 for projecting visuals in proximity to the toddler.
[0051] The holographic projector 110 uses interference patterns of light to create realistic three-dimensional images in mid-air. It typically consists of a laser source, beam splitters, mirrors, and a holographic screen or projection surface. The projector 110 projects light onto a surface from multiple angles, using the interference of light waves to produce 3D images visible from different perspectives to entertain the toddler to bath appropriately. The projector 110 also provides important assistive visuals and critical information to the caretaker(s) regarding bathing condition to safeguard the toddler in case of any unprecedented hazardous scenario.
[0052] A battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the tub to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the tub.
[0053] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the proposed invention features the toddler accessing the water container 101, which is equipped with inlet and outlet ports 103 for water filling and drainage, controlled via the conduit pipe connected to these ports by the caretaker. The caretaker input various bathing preferences, skin health conditions, water depth, and quality through the user-interface connected to the computing unit. The microcontroller activates sensing module in the water container 101 to monitor water quality. The filtration unit 104 at the inlet purifies the water using multiple layers, including the net, activated carbon, RO membrane 104c, chlorination slot 104d, and ion exchange section 104e, all working together to ensure safe water quality with optimal mineral levels. The ultrasonic sensor 105 monitors the toddler’s position while bathing, and if the potential drowning hazard is detected (e.g., the toddler's head moves below water), the microcontroller triggers the motorized iris unit 106 to drain water and adjust its level for safety. Additionally, the multi-sectioned chamber 108 containing essential oils releases soothing mist into the environment, enhancing the bath’s calming effects. The tub includes the turbidity sensor, pH sensor, temperature sensor, and bacterial detection sensor to ensure the water remains clean and safe. The timer tracks the bathing duration, alerting the caretaker once the recommended time limit is reached. The augmented reality holographic projector 110 provides entertainment for the toddler while displaying essential bathing information to the caretaker.
