The cartridge provides flexibility in its use and enables a universal fit with vessels and appliances that have different hopper designs. Though, CN’613 discloses about a method for treatment of water by filtering technique in household type filters for producing portable water. However, the cited invention lacks in cleaning the waste water that comes from industry waste or agricultural waste, etc.

[0006] Conventionally, there exist many devices in the market that enable users to treat the water by filtering the impure water. However, the existing devices are typically designed for eliminating the bacteria from the water to be consumed. The cited devices lacks in cleaning and extraction of waste from the waste water that came from the industries, agricultural activities, and many more, to prevent the wastage of the water ensuring reuse of the treated water.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a device that is capable of cleaning and extracting the waste from the water that came from the industries, agricultural activities and from anywhere, to prevent the wastage of the water, ensuring reuse of the treated water after disinfecting the water.

[0020] 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.

[0021] The present invention relates to a water treatment device that is capable of treating the waste water while separating the waste particles facilitating the reuse of the water after eliminating the waste from the waste water. Also, the device is capable of disinfecting the treated water, preventing the disease caused by the impure water.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1 & 2, an isometric view and internal view of a water treatment device are illustrated, respectively comprising a chamber 101 installed under a ground surface housed with a primary compartment 102, secondary compartment 103, tertiary compartment 104 and quaternary compartment 105, an inlet 106 carved on the primary compartment 102, a first pump 107 configured with the first compartment, an electronic nozzle 201 configured with the secondary compartment 103 and paired with a vessel 202 attached with the secondary compartment 103, a second pump 108 configured with the secondary compartment 103, a third pump 109 configured with the tertiary compartment 104, a UV based sanitization unit 203 configured in the quaternary compartment 105, a forth pump 110 configured with the forth compartment, a hose 111 connected to the quaternary compartment 105, a motorized gate 112 configured in the inlet 106, a container 113 configured underneath the chamber 101 and connected with each the compartments via a motorized iris lid 204 and a suction unit 114 associated with the device.

[0023] The device disclosed herein comprises of a chamber 101 that is installed user a ground surface. The chamber 101 is housed with four compartments that are a primary 102, secondary 103, tertiary 104 and quaternary compartment 105. The chamber 101 is made from material like plastic, metal and steel. These materials are suitable for the chemicals and provide greater durability and longer life to the chamber 101. Also, the materials are able to handle pressurized applications and higher temperature. A concerned person connects the waste water source to the primary compartment 102 via an inlet 106 carved on the primary compartment 102.

[0024] The level of the waste water filled in the first compartment 102 is monitored by a level sensor integrate in the first compartment 102. The level sensor emits an ultrasonic wave and receive the wave reflected back from the waste water, the sensor measures the distance by calculating the time taken between the emission and reception. The microcontroller processes the data received from the sensor and monitors the level of waste water. Therefore, the level of the waste water is monitored whenever the concerned person is allowed to fill the waste water in the first compartment 102. In case, the first compartment 102 get completely filled, the microcontroller actuates a motorized gate 112 configured in the inlet 106. The motorized gate 112 comprises of an electric motor connected to an actuator, which moves the gate 112 into place. When activated by the microcontroller, the motor drives the actuator to close the gate 112 securely against the opening.

[0025] The heavier insoluble waste particles get settle down at the bottom of the waste water in the first compartment 102. The waste water is left for a pre-set duration for sedimentation of the waste water. The sedimentation process initiates and terminates according to a timer module which is integrated in the microcontroller. The timer module keeps track of time to be utilized for sedimentation process. A timer module tracks time by using an oscillator to generate a steady frequency signal, which is then counted by a digital counter. The module compares this count to a preset interval stored in its registers. When the count matches the interval, the timer triggers an event or action. Control logic manages the timer's operations, including starting, stopping, and resetting, while a display or output mechanism provides feedback on the elapsed time.

[0026] On completion of the pre-set duration utilized for the sedimentation process, the microcontroller actuates a first pump 107 configured with the first compartment 102. The first pump 107 extracts water by drawing it in through an intake, using a rotating impeller to create suction and increase pressure. This pressurized water is then pushed out through the first pump 107, moving it from the first compartment 102 to the secondary compartment 103. An electronic nozzle 201 configured with the secondary compartment 103 and paired with a vessel 202 attached with the secondary compartment 103. The nozzle 201 comprises of a pump, a valve and an orifice, the pump converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, generating high pressure. This pressure is regulated by an internal valve, which controls the initiation and cessation of sodium hydroxide and on the basis of microcontroller which actuates the dispenser/outer orifice to dispense a pre-evaluated amount of sodium hydroxide in the secondary compartment 103.

[0027] The sodium hydroxide reacts with waste present in the waste water and a chemical reaction takes place between the sodium hydroxide and the waste present in waste water and forms insoluble compound. An insoluble compound is formed in a waste water when mixing two soluble salts together that are waste and sodium hydroxide. The insoluble compound is the precipitate that settle downs in bottom of the secondary compartment 103. The microcontroller actuates a second pump 108 configured with the secondary compartment 103 when the pre-evaluated time duration is over to extract water from the secondary compartment 103. The pump 108 extracts the water and delivers to the tertiary compartment 104. The water is left for a pre-set duration allowing remaining precipitate to settle down.

[0028] The microcontroller actuates a third pump 109 configured with the tertiary compartment 104 to transfer the treated water from the tertiary compartment 104 to the quaternary compartment 105. A UV based sanitization unit 203 configured in the quaternary compartment 105 is actuated for disinfecting the treated water. The UV based sanitization unit 203 disinfects the water by using ultraviolet light to kill microorganisms as the water flows through a chamber 101, a UV lamp emits UV-C light that penetrates the water and disrupts the DNA of microorganisms. The UVC light effectively sterilizes the water without adding chemicals ensuring clean water.

[0029] After disinfecting the treated water, the microcontroller actuates a forth pump 110 to extract the treated water and deliver outside the chamber 101 through a hose 111 connected to the quaternary compartment 105. The settled waste and precipitate in the compartments is required to be discarded. A container 113 is configured underneath the chamber 101 and connected with each the compartments via a motorized iris lid 204. The solid waste and precipitate are received in the container 113 when the motorized iris lid 204 actuates and get opened. The iris lid 204 comprises of multiple blades, bidirectional motor and an outer ring which is connected to the motor. The motor actuates the blades, as if the motor rotates clockwise, the blade gets closed and when the motor rotates anticlockwise, the blades get opened. Whenever the blades get opened, the waste and precipitate is received in the container 113.

[0030] The waste collected in the container 113 is further discarded out by a suction unit 114 associated with the device. The suction unit 114 typically operates by creating a negative pressure at the suction end to suck the waste. The suction unit 114 consists of an electric motor and a fan, the motor drives the fan which creates a powerful suction force or the negative pressure that pulls in waste and precipitate. A battery is associated with the device for supplying power to electrical and electronically operated components associated with the device. The battery consists of two electrodes known as the cathode and the anode. Through the chemical reaction which involves oxidation and reduction, the battery generates a voltage between these electrodes. The generated voltage produces electrical energy which powers the devices by working on charges within them.

[0031] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the chamber 101 installed under the ground surface and housed with the primary 102, secondary 103, tertiary 104 and quaternary compartment 105. In first compartment 102 the inlet 106 is carved allowing the concerned person to connect the waste water source to store waste water as per the monitored level of the first compartment 102 when the motorized gate 112 opens. The water is left for pre-set duration for separating the waste particles present in the waste water. The timer module keeps track of the sedimentation process, on completion of pre-set duration the microcontroller actuates first pump 107 that extracts water from the first compartment 102 and deliver to the secondary compartment 103. The vessel 202 containing sodium hydroxide is paired with the electronic nozzle 201 configured in secondary compartment 103 is actuated by microcontroller to dispense pre-evaluated amount of sodium hydroxide that reacts with waste and forms precipitate that settle downs at bottom of the secondary compartment 103. The second pump 108 configured with the secondary compartment 103 actuates and extracts water from the secondary compartment 103 and deliver the water to tertiary compartment 104. The water is left for the pre-set time duration allowing remaining precipitate to settle down. The third pump 109 configured with the tertiary compartment 104 actuates to transfer the treated water from tertiary compartment 104 to the quaternary compartment 105. The treated water is disinfected by utilizing the UV based sanitization unit 203 configured in the quaternary compartment 105 and then forth pump 110 extracts the treated water and deliver the water to outside for further reuse. The container 113 configured under the chamber 101 and connected with each compartment via a motorized iris lid 204 to open and receive the solid waste and precipitate collected at bottom of the compartments. The suction unit 114 associated with the device helps to further discard out the waste and precipitate.
