[0020] The present invention relates to an adaptable water pumping device that is capable of pumping water from with proper flow and enabling the user to utilize the water as per requirement without exerting any physical efforts. Additionally, the proposed device determine the height and distance of the user from the device to aid a means to apply a leverage to create suction for efficient water pumping.

[0021] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of an adaptable water pumping device is illustrated, comprising an elongated cylindrical housing 1 having a circular flap 2 with a sealing ring 3, a telescopic piston rod 4 attached with the flap 2, an L-shaped outlet pipe 5 provided on a lateral surface of the cylinder, U-shaped member 6 attached to the upper end of the housing 1, an elongated telescopic bar 7 attached to the piston 4 rod at a distal end of the bar 7 and attached to the U-shaped member 6 by a pivot pin 8, artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 9 installed on the housing 1, and a microphone 10 provided on the housing 1.

[0022] The proposed device comprises of an elongated cylindrical housing 1 having a circular flap 2 with a sealing ring 3 around the housing 1, the flap 2 with a check valve within the housing 1, and further the flap 2 is attached to a telescopic piston rod 4 extending upwards from an upper end of the housing 1 for an upward suction of water from below the housing 1. The rod is equipped with a pneumatic unit that is activated by the microcontroller to provide extension and retraction of the rod in upward direction. The pneumatic unit comprises of an air compressor, air cylinder, air valves and piston. The air valve that allows entry or exit of the compressed air from the compressor.

[0023] Furthermore, the valve opens and the compressed air enters inside the cylinder thereby increasing the air pressure of the cylinder. The piston is connected to the cylinder and due to the increase in the air pressure, the piston extends due to which the rod extends upwards from the upper end of the housing 1 for the upward suction of water from below the housing 1. Herein, an L-shaped outlet pipe 5 provided on a lateral surface of the cylinder for an outflow of the water.

[0024] Further, a U-shaped member 6 attached to the upper end of the housing 1 and attached with an elongated telescopic bar 7 installed to the piston rod 4 at a distal end of the bar 7 by a pivot pin 8 for enabling a user to apply a leverage by rotating the bar 7 for creating the suction in the housing 1. The telescopic bar 7 is equipped with the pneumatic unit that is activated by the microcontroller to provide extension and retraction of the bar 7 to aid the pivot pin 8 to provide orientation of the bar 7 for enabling the user to apply a leverage by rotating the bar 7 for creating the suction in the housing 1.

[0025] An artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 9 installed on the housing 1 to determine a height of the user. The imaging unit 9 comprises of a camera and processor that works in collaboration to detect the height of the user. The AI (artificial intelligence) protocols encrypted with the processor linked with the imaging unit 9 to enhance its functionality and capabilities. The AI protocols are used to process and analyses the images captured by the camera enabling it to perform various tasks beyond traditional image capturing.

[0026] The AI analysis is performed locally on the camera itself and the real-time processing on the camera enables immediate responses and faster decision-making. The camera, herein captures images of a vicinity of the housing 1 with the help of specialized lenses designed to capture high-quality visuals. The captured data is now pre-processed via the microcontroller to enhance its quality and prepare it for AI analysis. This pre-processing involves tasks such as noise reduction, image stabilization, or color correction. The processed data is fed into AI protocols for analysis which utilize machine learning techniques, such as deep learning neural networks, to extract meaningful information present in the images.

[0027] The camera is capable of analysing the vicinity of the housing 1 and providing real-time updates or alerts about the vicinity of the housing 1 based on predefined rules or criteria. Herein, based on extraction of the data from the captured images, the microcontroller linked with the imaging unit 9 analyses the data to detect the height of the user. Based on detection, the microcontroller actuates the telescopic bar 7 to extend or retract as per the detected height and distance. Herein, a level sensor provided on the housing 1 for detecting a level of the water in the housing 1.

[0028] The level sensor preferably a ultrasonic-based level sensor that consists of a transducer that functions as both a transmitter and a receiver that works in collaboration to detect level of the water within the housing 1. The transducer typically contains a piezoelectric crystal or a similar material. When an electrical signal is applied to the crystal, it vibrates at a high frequency, typically in the ultrasonic range above 20 kHz. When the transducer is activated, it converts the electrical energy into mechanical vibrations or waves. These vibrations are transmitted as a focused beam of ultrasonic waves into the object. The ultrasonic waves propagate outward in a cone-shaped pattern from the transducer.

[0029] When the emitted ultrasonic waves encounter the housing 1 in their path, a portion of the waves is reflected back towards the sensor. The amount of reflection depends on factors such as the distance, size, and surface characteristics of the water. The same transducer that emitted the ultrasonic waves now acts as a receiver. It detects the reflected waves that bounce back from the housing 1 and converts them back into electrical signals. The sensor measures the time it takes for the ultrasonic waves to travel from the sensor to the container. The ultrasonic sensor now starts a timer when the waves are emitted and stops it when the reflected waves are detected. The elapsed time is known as the "time of flight" (TOF). Using the known speed of sound in the medium through which the waves are travelling, level of the water within the housing 1 is calculated. Based on calculation, the microcontroller actuates the telescopic piston rod 4 to extend or retract as per the detected level of water in the housing 1.

[0030] Herein, a microphone 10 linked with the microcontroller, provided on the housing 1 for receiving an audio command regarding an adapting of the telescopic bar 7. The microphone 10 receives sound waves generated by energy emitted from the voice command in the form of vibrations. After then, the sound waves are transmitted towards a diaphragm configured with a coil. Upon transmitting the waves within the diaphragm, the diaphragm strikes with the waves due to which the coil starts moving the diaphragm with a back-and-forth movement in presence of magnetic field generated from the coil.

[0031] After that the electric signal is emitted from the coil due to back-and-forth movement of the diaphragm which is further transmitted to a microcontroller linked with the microphone 10 to process the signal to analyze the signal for detecting voice command given by the user. Upon processing the voice commands, the microcontroller triggered to accordingly actuate the telescopic bar 7 to extend or retract as per the detected height of the user and the distance of the user from the housing 1.

[0032] Further, the user also accesses a computing unit to give input regarding the adapting of the telescopic bar 7. The computing unit. Herein includes but not limited to a mobile and laptop that comprises a processor where the alert received from the microcontroller is stored to process and retrieve the output data in order to display in the computing unit. The microcontroller is wirelessly linked with the computing unit via a communication module which includes but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module. GSM (Global System for Mobile communication). The communication module acts as a medium between various electronic unit for establishing communication between the computing unit and device to process the input given by the user to actuate the telescopic bar 7 to extend or retract as per the detected height of the user and the distance of the user from the housing 1, for adapting the telescopic bar 7 for the user.

[0033] Lastly, a battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the device to offer power to all electrical and electronic components necessary for their correct operation. The battery is linked to the microcontroller and provides (DC) Direct Current to the microcontroller. And then, based on the order of operations, the microcontroller sends that current to those specific electrical or electronic components so they effectively carry out their appropriate functions.

[0034] The present invention works best in following manner that includes the elongated cylindrical housing 1 having a circular flap 2 with a sealing ring 3 around the flap 2 with a check valve within the housing 1, the flap 2 attached to a telescopic piston rod 4 for an upward suction of water from below the housing 1, the piston rod 4 extending upwards from an upper end of the housing 1, an L-shaped outlet pipe 5 provided on a lateral surface of the cylinder for an outflow of the water, a U-shaped member 6 attached to the upper end of the housing 1, an elongated telescopic bar 7 attached to the piston rod 4 at a distal end of the bar 7 and the bar 7 attached to the U-shaped member 6 by a pivot pin 8 at a proximal region of the bar 7 for enabling a user to apply a leverage by rotating the bar 7 for creating the suction in the housing 1. Further, the artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 9 detects a height of the user and a distance of the user from the housing 1 to trigger the microcontroller to accordingly actuate the telescopic bar 7 to extend or retract as per the detected height and distance, a level sensor provided in the housing 1 for detecting a level of the water in the housing 1 to trigger the microcontroller to actuate the telescopic piston rod 4 to extend or retract as per the detected level of water in the housing 1.
