Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a rainwater harvesting device that is capable of aiding an advanced rainwater harvesting solution that automatically adjusts the collection mechanism based on weather conditions and monitors water quality in real-time, also manages water storage by detecting overflow and sending alerts. Additionally, the proposed device is also capable of ensuring an efficient operation by removing debris and maintaining continuous flow, optimizing the water collection process.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Rain barrel water collecting is a sustainable practice that conserves potable water by harvesting rain for irrigation, landscape watering, and other non-potable uses. This method is especially important in regions facing water scarcity, as rain barrel water collecting reduces reliance on municipal supplies and lowers water bills. Rainwater harvesting also helps reduce runoff, preventing erosion and water pollution. However, challenges include ensuring water quality, maintaining barrels to prevent mosquito breeding, and managing overflow during heavy rainfall. Additionally, the limited capacity of rain barrels did not always meet larger water needs, requiring careful planning and monitoring.

[0003] Traditional rainwater harvesting methods often involve simple containers like barrels placed under gutters to collect rain. These methods are cost-effective and easy to set up, but they have notable drawbacks. Containers are typically small, leading to overflow during heavy rainfall. Without proper filtration, collected water often contains debris, dirt, and contaminants, making it unsuitable for various uses. Regular maintenance is necessary to prevent mosquito breeding and mold growth, which can be time-consuming. Additionally, monitoring water quality and managing overflow is challenging, often resulting in wasted water or contamination. For larger-scale needs, traditional methods are insufficient for efficient water management and quality control, limiting their effectiveness for sustainable water harvesting.

[0004] US8881756B1 discloses about a system for rainwater harvesting includes a rain barrel adapted for collecting and storing rainwater runoff gravity-fed from a rooftop through a downspout. A substantially rigid downspout diverter comprises an inlet section, an overflow section, and an elongated connector section interconnecting the inlet section and the overflow section. The inlet section has a first end adapted for communicating with an end of the downspout and a second end communicating with an inlet opening formed with the rain barrel. The overflow section has a first end communicating with an overflow opening formed with the rain barrel and a second end extending away from the rain barrel.

[0005] CA2134021A1 discloses about the invention is directed to an improved rain barrel type container. The improved rain barrel has a removable recessed catch basin in the lid thereof which coarsely filters water discharged from a downspout. The catch basin, when moved to an access position, provides a large access port to the interior of the barrel through which a watering can or pail can pass for filling by immersion in the retained water. The catch basin also includes a child resistant closure for improved safety.

[0006] Conventionally, many devices that are available in the market to aid assistance for rainwater harvesting are limited in their capabilities. They often lack automated features for detecting rain, requiring users to manually adjust the collection setup. These devices also tend to have small capacities, making them unsuitable for larger-scale needs, they cannot monitor the quality of collected water, leaving water prone to contamination and unsuitable for specific applications.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a device that requires to provide an effective rainwater harvesting solution that automatically detects rain and adjusts the collection mechanism, and capable to automated debris removal to maintain performance and prevent clogging, along with over flow management with alerts is crucial to notify users when water levels are too high.

[0009] An object of the present invention is to develop a device that is capable of detecting environmental conditions and automatically adjusts the collection mechanism to an optimal height when rain is detected, ensuring maximal surface area for rainwater harvesting, and reducing manual intervention in water collection.

[0010] Another object of the present invention is to develop a device that is capable of continuously monitoring water quality and providing real-time data to the user, thus enabling the user to assess whether the harvested water is safe for use or requires treatment, ensuring water quality is maintained.

[0011] Another object of the present invention is to develop a device that is capable of autonomously identifying and removing any blockages or debris from the collection section to prevent clogging and ensure smooth water flow.

[0012] Yet another object of the present invention is to develop a device that is capable of monitoring water levels and the accumulation of debris, sending alerts when the water level exceeds a pre-set limit or when debris needs to be cleared, to prevent overflows and ensure timely maintenance, thereby reducing the risk of failure.

[0013] The foregoing and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] The following description includes the preferred best mode of one embodiment of the present invention. It will be clear from this description of the invention that the invention is not limited to these illustrated embodiments but that the invention also includes a variety of modifications and embodiments thereto. Therefore, the present description should be seen as illustrative and not limiting. While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative constructions, it should be understood, that there is no intention to limit the invention to the specific form disclosed, but, on the contrary, the invention is to cover all modifications, alternative constructions, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claims.

[0020] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.

[0021] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0022] The present invention relates to a rainwater harvesting device that is capable of providing an advanced rainwater harvesting solution that automatically adjusts the collection mechanism according to weather conditions, along with monitoring water quality in real-time, while offering reliable insights into its suitability for use. Additionally, the proposed device is also capable of performing waste removal and overflow control, ensuring efficient operation with minimal user effort.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a rainwater harvesting device is illustrated, comprising a cuboidal housing 101 developed to be positioned on a ground surface and configured with plurality of motorized wheels 102, a push button 103 is integrated on the housing 101, a hollow telescopic arrangement 104 installed on the housing 101 that is integrated with canopy arrangement 105, a meshed filter 106 integrated at point of connection of telescopic arrangement 104 and canopy arrangement 105, an artificial intelligence based imaging unit 107 installed on the canopy arrangement 105, a suction unit 108 integrated on canopy arrangement 105, and a chamber 109 is interlinked with suction unit 108, attached with telescopic arrangement 104.

[0024] The device that is disclosed herein comprises of a cuboidal housing 101 developed to be placed on a surface, equipped with four motorized wheels 102 for movement across the surface. The housing 101 is made from durable materials such as plastic, metal, or composite. In addition, the motorized wheels 102 are interlinked with the computing unit to relocate the housing 101.

[0025] The housing 101 incorporates a push button 103 that is pressed by the user to activate the device. The push button 103 has an outer casing and an inner mechanism, including a spring and metal contacts. When the button 103 is pressed, then button 103 pushes down on the spring-loaded mechanism inside. In the default state, the internal contacts are apart, so the circuit is open and no electricity flows. Pressing the button 103 makes the contacts touch each other, closing the circuit and allowing electricity to flow.

[0026] After activation of device, an inbuilt-microcontroller in the housing 101 get triggered to actuates the corresponding component to perform rain water harvesting. The microcontroller is pre-fed with a defined set of instructions to perform various functions. The microcontroller is a small integrated circuit that controls specific functions by executing a program stored in its memory. The microcontroller consists of a central processing unit (CPU), memory, and I/O ports for interacting with external components of the device. When powered on, microcontroller fetches and executes instructions received from the device's component.

[0027] Synchronously, the microcontroller activates a primary sensing module that is integrated within the housing 101 to sense rain in surroundings. The primary sensing module includes a rain sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor and an ultrasonic anemometer. The rain sensor detects rain by utilizing conductive plates arranged in a gird. When the raindrops fall on the sensor, they create a conductive path between the plates causing the change in electrical resistance. The change is detected by the sensor and converted into an electrical signal which is further translated to the microcontroller.

[0028] Based on detected rain, microcontroller actuates the temperature probe measures temperature by coming in contact with the flowing water. The probe is made up of a sensing element and a transducer. The sensing element is like a semiconductor or ceramic that responds to temperature changes, such as a resistor, thermocouple, or thermistor. The probe is submerged in the water and the sensing element detects a change in the water's temperature. The sensing element then creates a small electric signal that changes depending on the temperature. The transducer translates the signal into a readable format and sends signal to the microcontroller.

[0029] After detecting the temperature, a resistive humidity sensor measures humidity by using a hygroscopic conductive material, often a polymer, whose electrical resistance changes with moisture absorption. As humidity levels increase, the conductive material absorbs moisture, causing its resistance to decrease. The humidity sensor measures these changes in resistance and converts them into an electrical signal that represents the relative humidity. The final signal is then sent to the microcontroller.

[0030] Also, the microcontroller triggers an ultrasonic anemometer that measures wind speed and direction by using ultrasonic sound waves, also consists of multiple pairs of transducers placed in specific orientations, typically in a triangular or square configuration. Each transducer sends and receives ultrasonic pulses across the device. When wind flows through the anemometer, wind affects the time taken by the sound waves to travel between the transducers. The wind speed is determined by the difference in the travel time of the pulses in the direction of the wind and against it. The direction is calculated by analyzing the variation in travel time across different transducer pairs. As the wind moves, the change in pulse timing is converted into precise measurements of wind speed and direction.

[0031] In addition, on detection of rain, the microcontroller actuates a hollow telescopic arrangement 104 installed on the housing 101 to extend to position an inverted canopy arrangement 105 attached with the telescopic arrangement 104, at an optimum height. The telescopic arrangement 104 mentioned herein is powered by pneumatic unit employed herein is consist of an air compressor, air valves, and a piston. The air compressor used herein extract the air from surrounding and increases the pressure of the air by reducing the volume of the air. The air compressor is consisting of two main parts including a motor and a pump. The motor powers the compressor pump which uses the energy from the motor drive to draw in
atmospheric air and compress to elevated pressure. The compressed air is then sent through a discharge tube into the cylinder across the valve. The compressed air in the cylinder tends to pushes out the piston to extend which extends the frame. Similarly, on evacuating of the compressed air from the cylinder results in retraction of the piston which results in retraction of the hollow telescopic arrangement 104, thereby resulting in altering of the height of the hollow telescopic arrangement 104 to position an inverted canopy arrangement 105, at an optimum height;

[0032] After positioning telescopic arrangement 104, microcontroller trigger an ultrasonic sensor integrated on the housing 101 that monitors the height of the telescopic arrangement 104 being extended by emitting high-frequency sound waves. The sensor consists of a transmitter and receiver. The transmitter sends out a pulse of ultrasonic waves, which travel through the air until they encounter the surface or object at the end of the extended telescopic arrangement 104. Once the waves hit the surface, they reflect back toward the sensor, where the receiver detects the reflected waves. The time taken for the waves to return is measured, and using the speed of sound, the sensor calculates the distance to the surface or object, determining the height of the extended arrangement.

[0033] Based on monitored height, a canopy arrangement 105 typically consists of a wide opening at the top that tapers to a smaller outlet at the bottom, resembling the shape of a funnel. The canopy arrangement 105 involves the capture and channeling of water, or debris. When rain enters through the wide opening, the funnel directs rain downward toward the housing 101. The material used for the canopy is usually durable and weather-resistant.

[0034] As water passes through canopy, a meshed filter 106 is integrated at the point of connection between the telescopic arrangement 104 and the canopy arrangement 105 to facilitate the passage of harvested rainwater into the housing 101 via the telescopic arrangement 104 while preventing debris from entering. As rainwater flows off the canopy, water passes through the meshed filter 106, which captures leaves, twigs, and other debris, ensuring only clean water moves into the telescopic arrangement 104. The filter 106 is designed with fine mesh openings that allow water to pass through while blocking larger particles. This prevents clogging and damage to the telescopic mechanism and ensures smooth operation.

[0035] The microcontroller also activates a level sensor that is integrated into the housing 101 to monitor the water level of harvested rainwater. As the water level rises, the sensor continuously detects and measures harvested water. The level sensor detects the level of harvested rainwater within the housing's container or reservoir. The level sensor functions by detecting the water level using a floating mechanism. The level sensor consists of a buoyant float that rises and falls with the water level. As the water level changes, the float moves within the reservoir, altering its position relative to a stationary component. As the water level changes, the float's interaction with the level sensor triggers an electrical signal that correlates to the water level. This signal is then transmitted to the microcontroller, allowing the level sensor to monitor the water level.

[0036] When the detected water level exceeds a predetermined allowable limit, the microcontroller triggers an alert. This alert is sent to a computing unit, notifying the concerned person that the water level has surpassed the safe threshold. The notification prompts the person to take action, such as discarding the excess water for treatment or other uses. The computing unit alert the users by notifying regarding water level through wireless communication module such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

[0037] The microcontroller actuates the motorized wheels 102 to relocate the housing 101, as per user provides command for relocation via the computing unit. The motorized wheel operates by integrating an electric motor with a wheel to provide motion. The process begins when the motor receives electrical power from a power source which is converted into mechanical energy by the motor, which generates rotational force. When the motor is activated, the motor's shaft starts to rotate, causing the wheel to spin.

[0038] Synchronusly, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 107, equipped with a processor, installed on the canopy arrangement 105 detects clogging of debris in the filter 106. The imaging unit 107 uses cameras or sensors to capture real-time images or videos of the filter 106 area. These images are then processed by the AI-powered processor, which analyzes them to identify any blockages or accumulation of debris. The AI protocol compares the captured images with predefined patterns to determine if the filter 106 is clogged. If a blockage is detected, the microcontroller triggers an alert or initiate an action, such as activating a cleaning mechanism or notifying the user for maintenance.

[0039] On detection of clogging, the microcontroller actuates a suction unit 108 integrated into the canopy arrangement 105 to generate negative pressure at the inlet of the telescopic arrangement 104. This negative pressure extracts the debris from the filter 106, preventing any blockage. The suction unit 108 typically consist of a suction pump, and conduit to extract debris and transfer into a chamber 109 interlinked with the suction unit 108. The pump generates a negative pressure, creating a vacuum in the suction unit 108. The conduit connects the pump to the chamber 109, where the withdrawn debris is collected. Upon action of the suction unit 108 by the microcontroller, the pump creates a pressure differential, enabling the debris to flow through the conduit into the chamber 109.

[0040] The debris is transferred into a chamber 109 that is interlinked with the suction unit 108 and attached to the telescopic arrangement 104. The chamber 109 collects the extracted debris, ensuring that the rainwater flow smoothly without obstruction. After extracting debris from canopy arrangement 105, a weight sensor is triggered that is integrated into the chamber 109 to detect the weight of the collected debris. The weight sensor works by measuring the force exerted by debris placed on weight sensor, converting that force into an electrical signal. The weight sensor typically consists of a load cell, which deforms slightly under pressure, causing a change in its electrical resistance. This change is then measured and converted into a corresponding weight value.

[0041] The weight sensor sends this data to the microcontroller, which processes the information and monitors the weight in real-time. When the weight of the debris exceeds a predefined allowable limit, the weight sensor sends this information to the microcontroller. Upon receiving the data, the microcontroller processes the weight information and, if the limit is surpassed, triggers an alert on the computing unit. This alert notifies the concerned person that the chamber 109 needs to be emptied to maintain proper function.

[0042] The device also incorporates a secondary sensing module that is integrated into the housing 101 to monitor parameters related to the quality of the harvested water. This module includes, but is not limited to, a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) sensor, a pH sensor, and a chemical sensor. These sensors continuously measure the water's TDS levels, acidity or alkalinity (pH), and the presence of any harmful chemicals or contaminants. The monitored parameters are sent to the computing unit, where the data is processed in real time. If any of the parameters exceed predefined thresholds or indicate poor water quality, the computing unit alerts the concerned person. This allows the person to take appropriate actions, such as treating the water, before it is used.

[0043] The TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) sensor works by measuring the concentration of dissolved solids, such as salts, minerals, and metals, in water. The sensor typically consists of two electrodes that are placed in the water. When an electrical current is passed between the electrodes, the sensor measures the electrical conductivity of the water, which is directly related to the concentration of dissolved solids. Higher levels of dissolved solids result in greater conductivity. The sensor then converts this conductivity measurement into a TDS value.

[0044] After measuring TDS, a pH sensor measures the acidity or alkalinity of a liquid, specifically the concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺) in the water. The sensor typically consists of a glass electrode and a reference electrode. The glass electrode is sensitive to hydrogen ions and generates a voltage that varies with the pH of the water. The reference electrode provides a stable voltage against which the glass electrode's voltage is compared. The microcontroller then processes this voltage difference and converts it into a pH value, typically ranging from 0 (acidic) to 14 (alkaline), with 7 being neutral. The pH sensor sends this value to the computing unit, which assess the water quality.

[0045] After pH sensor, a chemical sensor detects and measures specific chemical substances or pollutants in water that works by using a sensing element that reacts with the target chemical, causing a change in the sensor's physical or chemical properties, such as electrical conductivity, voltage, or optical absorption. The sensor typically consists of a detection surface or electrode that is sensitive to particular chemicals, such as heavy metals, chlorine, or other contaminants. When the water comes into contact with the sensor, the target chemicals interact with the detection surface, triggering a measurable response. This response is then converted into a signal that is sent to the microcontroller, which processes the data and determines the concentration of the chemicals present. If the any parameter like TDS, pH, chemical concentration exceeds a predefined threshold, the microcontroller triggers an alert, notifying the user to take appropriate action, such as treating the water to remove harmful substances.

[0046] Moreover, a battery is associated with the device to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes known as a cathode and an anode. A voltage is generated between the anode and cathode via oxidation/reduction and thus produces the electrical energy to provide to the device.

[0047] The present invention works best in following manner, the cuboidal housing 101 with the motorized wheels 102 for movement. The push button 103 on the housing 101 activates the device, triggering the inbuilt microcontroller, which initiates the primary sensing module that includes the rain sensor, the temperature sensor, the humidity sensor, and the ultrasonic anemometer to detect rain. Upon rain detection, the microcontroller extends the hollow telescopic arrangement 104 powered by the pneumatic unit (the air compressor, the air cylinder, the air valves, and the piston) to position the inverted canopy at an optimal height. The canopy is deployed to maximize surface area for rainwater collection. The meshed filter 106 prevents debris from entering the telescopic arrangement 104, while the level sensor monitors the water level, sending an alert if it exceeds a safe limit. The AI-based imaging unit 107 detects clogging in the filter 106, triggering the suction unit 108 to clear debris into the chamber 109. The secondary sensing module (the TDS, the pH, and the chemical sensors) monitors water quality, and the weight sensor alerts when the chamber 109 needs emptying.

[0048] Although the field of the invention has been described herein with limited reference to specific embodiments, this description is not meant to be construed in a limiting sense.
