  • the seven-stage purifier assembly receives raw water from an inlet and purifies the raw water to safe drinking water in the following stages.
  • the multimedia filter (V21 ) includes the sand filter, and the activated carbon filter.
  • Multimedia filtration is the first stage of water treatment in the automated purified drinking water vending machine (100). It is among the oldest, well understood, and tested forms of water treatment.
  • the two layers of sand and activated carbon filter result in highly efficient filtering of floating and non- dissolved particles and bad odours present in the raw water. ii. Micron Filters (V18, V19 & V20):
  • the next stage of purification is the pre micron filters. These are placed at three different stages (V18, V19, V20) to filter out very minute clay, sand, slit, dust and rust particles present in the raw water. It also helps to remove ferric iron, and oxidized manganese or sulfur. Output water from the pre micron filter (V18, V19, V20) is fed to inlet of the R.O. membrane filter (V7). iii. Reverse Osmosis Membrane Filter (V7):
  • the R.O. membrane filter includes a R.O pump (V5), a R.O. membrane
  • Reverse osmosis involves separating water from a solution of dissolved solids by forcing water through a semipermeable membrane such as the R.O. membrane (V7). As pressure is applied to the solution, water and other molecules with low molecular weight pass through micro pores in the semi-permeable membrane. Larger molecules, such as organic dyes and metal complexes, are retained by the semi-permeable membrane. Cross flow filtration allows the concentrate stream to sweep away the retained molecules and prevent the membrane surface from clogging or fouling.
  • RO Reverse osmosis
  • the R.O. control panel (V15) takes care of operation of the entire R.O. unit. It operates a raw water pump (V4), and the R.O. pump (V5) to create sufficient pressure to pass raw water through the multimedia filter (V21), the micron filters (V18, V19, V20) and the R.O. membrane (V7). This results in purifying the raw water.
  • the purified water is fed to the purified water storage tank (V13).
  • the purified water storage tank (V13) is a food grade purified water tank.
  • the R.O. control panel (V15) automatically turns off the raw water pump (V4) and the R.O. pump (V5).
  • the clean water from the RO membrane filter (V7) is fed to the UV light filter
  • V12 Ultra Violet Light Filter
  • the ultra violet (UV) light filter (V12) disinfects water by treating it by an ultra violet light source. Immersed in the water in a protective transparent sleeve, the ultra violet light source emits UV waves that can inactivate harmful microorganisms. These ultra-violet rays are similar to the sun's UV rays but stronger than them. The UV rays alter the nucleic acid (DNA) of viruses, bacteria, molds or parasites, so that they are inactivated and cannot reproduce. However, such UV treatment does not alter chemical property of the water. v. Post Micron Filter (V22)
  • the post micron filter (V22) performs all the functions of the pre micron filters but it is placed between outlet nozzle and the Purified water storage tank (V13).
  • the post micron filter (V22) is included as a precautionary measure to avoid dust, sand or any other non-dissolved particles in the water that comes out from the outlet nozzle.
  • Ozone gas has excellent disinfection and oxidation qualities, which destroys microorganisms, removes micro-pollutants such as pesticides, reduces disinfection byproducts, and eliminates bad odor and taste.
  • the ozone gas filter (V16) includes an ozone gas generator for producing the ozone gas. This ozone gas is fed into the R.O. purified water at regular intervals to keep the water hygienic and fresh.
  • the electronic control unit When a user inserts either a coin or a currency such as a note, the electronic control unit (V17) identifies presence of the coin or the currency. It automatically supplies cup or pouch as desired by the user. After confirmation from the user, it pours water into the pouch/cup. The user will have the choice to choose cold, hot and normal water. The coins/currency are collected in respective bins.
  • the electronic control unit also sends and receives information to a centralized server through the GSM wireless device.
  • the temperature control unit may control temperatures of hot and cold water.
  • the electronic control unit (V17) includes a controller chip such as microcontroller, one or more sensors such as temperature sensors, pouch and cups sensors, one or more actuators, motor and a solenoid-motor driver, IR transmitter-receiver and a power supply unit. It may perform the following functions: • Reading currency/coin input sensors
  • the electronic control unit (V17) is coupled to the GSM wireless device for providing details of the automated purified drinking water vending machine 100.
  • the details include status-parameters, water quality, quantity of water sold, total amount of cash collected, and peak business hour details and so forth.
  • the electronic control unit (V17) automatically stops functioning of the automated purified drinking water vending machine 100 if water quality is found not satisfactory.
  • the GSM wireless device also helps in keeping track of pouch and cup stock, sales and also helps in avoiding duplication of pouches and cups.
  • the GSM wireless device includes a GSM module and a GSM sim card for interfacing with the electronic control unit (V17). ii. Pouch Vending Mechanism (V6):

Abstract

L'invention concerne un distributeur automatique d'eau potable purifiée (100). Le distributeur comprend un ensemble purificateur (V7, V12, V16, V18-V22) permettant de purifier l'eau brute, une unité réservoir (V10, V11, V13) permettant de stocker l'eau purifiée, une unité de commande électronique (V17) permettant de distribuer une quantité prédéterminée d'eau à partir de l'unité réservoir, une unité de réception de devises (V30, V31) permettant d'accepter et de valider les devises d'un utilisateur, et une unité distributrice de récipient (V1, V6) permettant de stocker et de distribuer automatiquement des récipients hygiéniques pour contenir l'eau distribuée et la fournir à l'utilisateur. Le distributeur est complètement automatique et à entretien automatique, ce qui évite d'avoir recours à un opérateur spécifique à chaque fois. Le distributeur automatique permet à l'utilisateur de choisir le récipient entre un gobelet alimentaire et une poche alimentaire.
