Description

a cylinder

The present invention relates to a cylinder, and more particularly to a cylinder having means for generating a renewable energy source, at least one electronic device, and a device integrated therein for water filtration.

Traditionally, the body of the water filtration device is generally cylindrical and looks like a column that is placed at a location near the fence area where the watering area or watering pipe is located. The water filtration unit is typically powered by a domestic power source and can be connected by a long cable extending from the room or through an outdoor power outlet. The main disadvantage of such a configuration is that outdoor power outlets are difficult to maintain, while long cables that are exposed to the weather require more maintenance. Since the water filtration device is usually installed in an outdoor environment, various forms of renewable energy can be collected from the outdoor environment. Therefore, existing water filtration systems need to incorporate means to collect renewable energy from their environment.

US20060219613 discloses a water purification system comprising a pre-filtration system for pre-filtering water, a first pump, a nanofiltration membrane configured to separate pre-filtered water into nano-filtered water and effluent, a storage tank and a second Pump. The first pump is operable to pump pre-filtered water through the nanofiltration membrane and the second pump is operable to pump nano-filtered water from the storage tank to the piping of the building.

WO 2009127034 A1 discloses a water purification system with minimal moving parts, minimal waste water treatment, and can be installed in any home using domestic water. A water treatment system comprising: (a) a first electric valve connected between a water supply line and a water line for delivering water to a first booster pump; (b) a first booster pump; (c) a reverse osmosis water processor connected to the first booster pump; (d) a purified water collecting tank connected to the purified water side of the reverse osmosis water processor; (e) located in the reverse osmosis water processor and the purified water collecting tank a check valve; (f) a concentrated water line connected to the raw water side of the reverse osmosis water processor and delivering the concentrated water to the concentrated water collection tank through a check valve; (g) and from the concentrated water collection tank The second electric valve and the venturi are connected to the concentration line of the water supply line.

The present invention provides a cylinder comprising a cylindrical hollow body including an upper portion and a lower portion; a water filtration unit disposed in the lower portion; at least one electronic device disposed in the upper portion; and at least one solar panel Attached to the cylindrical body for supplying power to the at least one electronic device and/or the water filtration unit.

In an embodiment of the invention, the cylinder may further comprise a control unit for adjusting the operation of the at least one electronic device and/or the solar panel.

In another embodiment of the invention, the cylinder may further include an energy storage unit for storing power generated by the solar panel and providing power to the at least one electronic device and/or the water filtration unit. The control unit can be configured to control the energy storage operation and/or to stop the energy storage operation when the stored energy reaches a predetermined level.

Preferably, at least a portion of the upper portion may be made of a partially or fully transparent material.

Preferably, the at least one electronic device can comprise a lighting device. The illumination device is coupled to a sensor configured to adjust the light intensity based on ambient light intensity.

Preferably, the at least one electronic device comprises an insect repellent device.

Preferably, the lower portion includes at least one inlet and at least one outlet, the at least one inlet and the at least one outlet for passing water from a water source through the water filtration unit.

Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is well adapted to the <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; The embodiments described herein are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

The preferred embodiment of the invention consists of a novel feature and a combination of all the following descriptions and the parts particularly pointed out in the appended claims. It should be understood that those of ordinary skill in the art to Modifications or refinements, but without departing from the scope of the invention or any of the advantages of the invention.

The invention will now be described in more detail by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to Figure 1, the cylinder 1 shown includes a cylindrical hollow body formed by the upper portion 6 and the lower portion 2, a water filtering device disposed in the lower portion 2, at least one electronic device 4 disposed in the upper portion 6, and mounting. At least one solar panel 5 on top of the upper portion 6 absorbs solar energy and converts it into electrical power for supply to the elements of the at least one electronic device 4 and/or the water filtration device.

The elements of the water filtration device include at least one inlet and outlet 10-12 for passing water through the water filtration device, a water filter cartridge 3 for filtering the water, a pressure tank 8 for applying pressure to the water of the water filtration device, An air valve 9, a water pump, and a central hub for connecting one element to another element for draining excess air from the water filtration device.

A power storage unit is provided for storing excess power supply from the solar panel 5 and supplying the stored power to the water filtration device and/or the at least one electronic device 4. The control panel is provided for operation of adjusting at least one solar panel 5, elements of the water filtration device, and power storage unit. Preferably, when the stored power reaches a certain level, the control panel reduces the charging rate of the power supply unit, and when the power reaches its maximum storage capacity, the control panel stops the charging operation. In this way, the charging of the power supply unit can be intelligently controlled to extend the service life of the power supply unit.

The at least one electronic device 4 may comprise any type of electric device, such as an electronic mosquito repellent, a fan, a cooler, a heater, or even a charging platform for a handheld device.

In a specific embodiment, the at least one electronic device 4 includes a lighting device and an insect repellent. Integrating lighting and insect repellent into a water filtration device converts a typical water filtration device into a unique column 1 that can be used as part of a decoration at a garden, gate or fence. Furthermore, the illumination device can be coupled to a sensor for detecting the intensity of the ambient light such that the light intensity of the illumination device can be adjusted according to the ambient light intensity. At least a portion 7 or all of the upper portion 6 may be made of a partially or fully transparent material so that the illumination device emits light from the interior.

At night, the insects will be attracted by the light of the column and surround the lighting. In order to drive away insects, insect repellents can be applied to ultrasonic resonance techniques that produce low frequency pulsed sound waves. This generation of sound waves is configured to mimic the frequency of the predator's wings to drive the insects.

The present invention includes what is included in the accompanying claims and the foregoing description. Although the invention has been described with a certain degree of particularity in its preferred form, it should be understood that the preferred form of the invention is by way of example only, and many variations in structural details and combinations and It is used in the case of the scope of the present invention.
