1. Liquid Parameter Sensor and Sampling Box

[0269] a. It can have one device Box that measure key parameters of Liquid. The device box comprises of slots to hold the measuring equipment(s)/Sensors (8) for measuring the static liquid parameters e.g. EC, PH, etc. It can hold up to minimum two devices.

[0270] All sensors are connected in the circuit and works as explained in the Circuit System below. It has the unique liquid stabilizing system wherein: [0271] i. The Device system motor (10) draws the liquid sample (50) from the source (53) (of liquid whose parameters are to be measured), [0272] ii. The unique piping system (9) ensures that there is no water spillage in the circuit and the pipes have slots in the device box. [0273] iii. The liquid sample (50) is stored in the various slots in containers (6) available for each of the sensors (8). [0274] iv. This unique system of slot (7)/container (6) for each of the sensors (8) ensures that the readings are not disturbed by device currents. [0275] v. The timings of the sampling motors (10) are such that the liquid sample is held in the slots (7)/container (6) for a few minutes to allow to stabilize. [0276] vi. The sensor (8) takes measurements. [0277] vii. The sample motors (10) are then reversed and it drains the liquid sample (50) back to the source (53). [0278] b. Reset System (24.1) [0279] This Liquid parameter(s) sensor and sampling box (1) also has a reset system provided in the control panel module (24) wherein a reset button (24.1) is provided, which helps to reset the parameters to stable condition. There are possibilities of measurement getting deviations (33) after a period of time of using, and hence this reset system ensures resetting of the parameters to the standard (32). [0280] c. The Circuit (27) [0281] As briefly described above, Box (1) comprises multiple circuits which are—the main module PCB (27a), the user input module PCB (27c), the sensors module (27d). [0282] i. The main module PCB (27a) (FIGS. 8a-8c) is, where the footprints of Arduino or Raspberry Pi is printed on the PCB along with the power supply circuitry and the sample collector motor drivers (60). There is also a USB connector (28) to connect it to the computer. The power supply circuitry has the voltage converters in it. The sampling motors are driven by the motor drivers (60) on the main module. [0283] ii. The user input module PCB (27c) (FIGS. 9a-9c) is a small PCB that contains the reset (24.1), ON/OFF (24.5), and a few input buttons. This is connected to the main module through the FRC cables. The user input module can also be a touch display module (61). [0284] iii. The sensor module (27d) is connected to the sensor input pins of the main module. The analog data received by the sensor input pins are converted to digital format inside the Arduino or Raspberry Pi and used for calculations according to the algorithm (42). These sensor modules can be interchangeable with few changes in the Algorithm (42) based on applications. [0285] iv. This entire data is sent to the cloud (30) using the WIFI module (44.1) which is connected to Arduino or Raspberry Pi on the main module PCB (27a). [0286] v. The uniqueness of the system is that where Wi-Fi module (44.1) cannot be connected to cloud (30), it can be replaced by localized solution (local wi-fi/Zigbee) as communication module (44.3) to ensure data goes to local server. The arduino or raspberry pi controller (26) in the main (27a) can be replaced with customized IC and Zigbee. This is optional and it reduces the cost considerably. When the volumes are high, this can be used to reduce cost. [0287] d. The Algorithm/Logic [0288] Once the System is set to start and powered on, the Algorithm starts to work as below: [0289] i. the Liquid Stabilizing System starts to operate, as mentioned above. [0290] ii. the Liquid Stabilizing motors (10) start to operate again, and drains the liquid sample (50) back to source (53). [0291] iii. The sensors (8) for EC, PH, liquid temperature, etc. record the readings i.e. measures parameter value (31) in each cycle of liquid stabilizing system. [0292] iv. These readings measured value (31) are then stored in cloud (30). One example of cloud (30) is ThingSpeak. (ThingSpeak is an open-source Internet of Things application and API to store and retrieve data from things using the HTTP and MQTT protocol over the Internet or via a Local Area Network). Other available cloud can also be used. In one embodiment, the invention uses ThingSpeak as cloud (30). In one embodiment, the invention uses separate, independent cloud specifically developed for present invention. [0293] v. The readings measured values (31) can be displayed as individual readings, or graphs to show the continuous readings (measured value (31). [0294] vi. These readings are also available to be displayed on the user interface (35) such as computer or mobile app in indicative color. [0295] vii. The logic (41) of the Algorithm (42) of the Circuit PCB (27a), compares this with the set standard limits (32) for these device readings measured value (31). [0296] viii. After the recording is concluded, the Liquid Stabilizing motors (10) start to operate again, and drains the liquid sample (50) back to source (53). [0297] ix. This cycle is repeated at a preset time interval which is normally, after every 5 minutes, which ensures continuous measurement.

The Detachable Actuator Box (2)

[0298] Referring FIGS. 7a-7d and 10a-10b, and also FIG. 15 the device compartment (2) comprises actuators (11), dousing motors (13), dousing containers (12) which are external to Detachable Actuator Box (2) for holding dousing liquids (15). A plurality of such dousing liquids (15) can be stored in the device as per requirement and as per numbers of parameters to be stabilized.

[0299] For the case of multiple parameters and sensors, the device comprises actuators (11a, 11b, . . . 11n); dousing containers (12a, 12b, . . . 12n) for holding dousing liquids (15a, 15b, . . . 15n), douser Motors (13) respectively actuators outlet pipes (14) respectively connect and draw dousing liquids from the dousing containers and add into the respective sample sources (53) of one or more application system (51) at site of application (52) where one or more parameters are desired to be stabilized; [0300] a. The logic (41) and Algorithm (42) in circuit (27a) compare the measured readings values (31) with the standards (32), as explained in the details of the circuits of the sensor and sampling devices box (1) above. Based on the deviations (33) from the standard (32) in these parameters, the DETACHABLE ACTUATOR BOX (2) is triggered to help activate the actuators (11) for right dousing of the needed dousing liquid (15). [0301] This DETACHABLE ACTUATOR BOX (2) can also be termed as the slave device, which gets its inputs from the Master device(s) (Parameter Sensor and Sampling box (s)). [0302] If the SENSOR and SAMPLING BOX (1) is the Master & Heart of the System, the DETACHABLE ACTUATOR BOX (2) is the Slave & Mind of the System. [0303] i. Based on the various parameters which needs to be maintained in the Main System Liquid at source, the box (2) draws liquid correcting dousers (15) from external douser containers (12) for correction and stabilization of PH, EC, etc. Key parameters like PH, EC, etc., can be maintained in the system through this device box (2). [0304] These DETACHABLE ACTUATOR BOX (2) are depending on the Industry and can be varied on the parameters that need to be maintained for that Industry. Each DETACHABLE ACTUATOR (2) can draw externally stored liquids that helps stabilize the system. [0305] This Detachable Actuator Box (2), has slots to hold various douser motors (13). It can hold minimum of two dosers. All dosers are connected in the circuit, and works as explained in the Circuit System below. [0306] b. The Circuit (27b) (FIGS. 10a-10b)

[0307] The Circuit i.e. the main PCB (27b) is the heart of all this Detachable Actuator Box (2). [0308] i. The Detachable Actuator module PCB (27b) also has the same circuitry as the main module PCB (27a) of box (1) excluding the sensors module (8) and user input module (24). The WIFI module (44.2) is connected to the Arduino of the PCB (27b). The Relays (16) in the actuator module drive the dosing motors (13) based on the input from the Arduino controller (26). This Actuator module (11) is also interchangeable based on the applications. [0309] ii. This entire data is sent to the cloud (30) using the WIFI module (44.2) which is connected to Arduino or Raspberry Pi on the main module PCB (27b). [0310] iii. The uniqueness of the system is that where Wi-Fi module (44.2) cannot be connected to cloud (30), it can be replaced by localized solution (local wi-fi/Zigbee) as communication module (44.3) to ensure data goes to local server. The arduino or raspberry pi controller in the main (27a) can be replaced with customized IC and Zigbee. This is optional and it reduces the cost considerably. When the volumes are high, this can be used to reduce cost. [0311] c. Once the System is set to start and powered on, the Algorithm starts to work as below: [0312] i. The logic (41) of the Algorithm (42) of the various Sensor device(s) Circuit, compares the readings of the various parameters (P) with the set standard limits for these device readings, and stores these in the Cloud (30). [0313] ii. The Key parameters (P) of the Industry, which help stabilize the system, and which can be corrected by the Dousers, are specifically looked into by the Algorithm (42) of the Dousing Box Circuit (27b). [0314] iii. Once the Circuit (27b) gets a signal for the deviation (33) of key parameter based on point i., it activates the corresponding actuator (11) douser liquids (15). The Communication Port helps in connecting to the Wi-Fi of the system (44), and in receiving the deviation data from the cloud (30). [0315] iv. The Douser in the actuator box douses the corresponding dousing liquid (15), needed to stabilize that parameter. The dosage quantity is calculated in the Algorithm, based on the deviation, and amount needed to correct the deviation. This logic (41) is set in the Algorithm (42), and various logics can be loaded for various parameter, depending on the Industry parameter to be maintained. [0316] v. The Parameter Measuring device/sensors (8) in the Measuring Box (1) checks the parameter, and records in the cloud (30). If the deviation (33) is recorded still, the steps of point iii, and iv are repeated again. [0317] vi. This cycle is repeated at a preset time interval which is normally, after every 5 minutes, which ensures continuous stability of the system.
