Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système d'actionnement automatique de décharge d'eau dans des citernes, comprenant une plateforme placée sur la partie haute du réservoir de stockage d'eau et fixée à celui-ci à l'aide de moyens de fixation. Une paire de capteurs capacitifs et un moteur réducteur sont placés sur la plateforme, lequel moteur réducteur est accouplé à un engrenage qui lui-même s'engrène avec les dents d'une paire de crémaillères verticales parallèles qui se déplacent verticalement en montée ou en descente en fontion du sens d'actionnement du moteur. L'extrémité de chacune des crémaillères est en contact avec des boutons d'actionnement du système de décharge central du réservoir, un bouton de décharge de plus petit volume ou un bouton de décharge de plus grand volume. Un microcontrôleur alimenté au moyen d'une batterie se trouve également sur la plateforme.
