Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a smart water-cooling system, specifically an IoT-enabled device that automatically adjusts the temperature of water based on ambient conditions and user preferences. This invention falls within the field of home appliances, particularly water cooling and heating systems, and integrates modern smart technology for enhanced user experience, energy efficiency, and remote control. The system utilizes sensors, microcontrollers, and Wi-Fi connectivity to provide real-time monitoring, automatic water level management, and remote operation via a mobile application, offering a smart and efficient solution for water temperature regulation in modern homes or commercial settings.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Smart water dispensers, Temperature-controlled water bottles, and Traditional water coolers, but they often require manual adjustments and lack real-time climate responsiveness.
Current water coolers require users to manually change settings for different temperatures, which is inconvenient and time-consuming. They also lack the ability to automatically adjust based on real-time climate conditions, leading to less optimal hydration experiences.
The proposed model of smart water cooler has a number of clear benefits over other options on the market. For starters, it's different from regular water coolers because it can change the water temperature instantly based on the current temperature outside. Usually, you have to set these water coolers by hand or use simple thermostat controls. This function makes sure that users always get water at the best temperature for their health and comfort, even if the temperature changes with the seasons or every day. Adding a water level sensor to an automatic filling system also gets rid of the trouble of having to refill the container by hand, making it much easier for users. The cooler keeps an adequate supply of water on its own, so users don't have to keep an eye on it. This makes it especially useful for busy homes or businesses.
Adding Wi-Fi and a mobile app for remote control and tracking makes the experience more modern and tech-savvy, which is something that older solutions didn't always have. Users can change settings, check water levels, and get progress updates on their coolers from their smartphones, making them very convenient in a way that fits with modern lifestyles. The touch screen makes it even easier to connect because it shows the temperature and humidity levels in real time. Combining these cutting-edge features—automatic temperature control, sensor-based filling, and smart connectivity—the suggested solution not only makes users happier but also sets itself apart as a water cooler that is ahead of its time. This all-around method not only fixes the problems with current products, but it also raises the bar for all smart appliances.

The present invention smart water Cooling system working is illustrated in Fig. 1. The proposed system consist of Microcontroller incorporated with Wi-Fi module, Sensors ( DHT22, Water level and flow sensors), solenoid, touch screen, Wi-Fi router, cloud and mobile phone.
The intelligent water cooler regulates water temperature according to ambient conditions and user preferences. The system commences with a DHT22 sensor that perpetually assesses the ambient temperature and humidity within the room. This sensor transmits real-time data to the microcontroller, which functions as the system's central processing unit. The microcontroller analyzes this data to ascertain whether the water requires cooling or heating. For example, when the temperature surpasses 30°C, the microcontroller engages a Peltier cooler to lower the water to a pleasant temperature. If the temperature falls below 15°C, the microcontroller engages a heating element to elevate the water temperature, maintaining user comfort.
The smart water cooler's touchscreen lets consumers choose their water temperature, giving them control over their drinking experience. These inputs are analyzed by the microcontroller to adjust cooling and heating components to user preferences. This suggests that water temperature can be adjusted to meet individual needs regardless of ambient conditions. The touchscreen shows real-time ambient, humidity, and water temperatures. This display shows consumers the cooler's status in real time and lets them easily see their settings.
A water level sensor keeps the cooler working properly. This sensor continuously monitors reservoir water level. It notifies the microcontroller to engage a solenoid valve to allow water to enter the reservoir until it is full. This automated filling mechanism gives the cooler enough water to protect its cooling and heating components. A flow sensor detects a container beneath the dispensing nozzle to automatically dispense water.
Wi-Fi modules provide mobile app-based remote monitoring and control, making the system more convenient. This function makes the cooler easier to use by letting users change settings and check water levels remotely. A 12V DC power source powers the entire setup, ensuring component efficiency. This smart water cooler combines current technology with user-friendly features to optimize hydration based on ambient conditions and personal preferences.
The Smart Water Cooler is different from other water coolers because it can automatically change the temperature and sense the weather in real time. This means that the water is always at the right temperature without any help from a person.
The smart water cooler changes the temperature of the water instantly based on the current temperature and humidity, making sure that you are always comfortable while drinking. An integrated water level indicator knows when the reservoir is low and starts an automatic refill system so that you don't have to do anything. A mobile app lets users check on and handle the cooler from anywhere, making it easy and flexible to change the settings and water temperature.
The cooler uses energy-efficient parts and smart formulas to use as little energy as possible, which lowers costs while keeping performance high. The system has push buttons that let users choose the temperature of the water they want to drink, so each person can have a personalized drinking experience.
The LCD screen shows current temperature, humidity, and water levels, making the user more aware and able to connect with the device. The smart water cooler has different dispensing modes that can be changed so that users can choose from continuous flow, single amounts, or automatic refilling. This makes it easier to use and betters the user experience. The model has both cooling and heating functions in one unit, so it can meet the needs of a wide range of users all year long.
The device is safe to use and will last a long time thanks to built-in safety features like heating protection and water-resistant parts. The cooler is made from eco-friendly materials, which helps protect the earth and gives it a modern, sleek look.
