[0021] The present invention relates to an automated radiator's water tank maintenance device that is capable of removing the accumulated dirt from the radiator's water tank for efficient working along with accumulating the accommodated dirt in the described location and further di disinfect the water in order to prevent the chances of microbial growth.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2, an isometric view of an automated radiator's water tank maintenance device and an isometric view of a motorized circular sliding unit configured with the proposed device are illustrated, respectively, comprising of a platform 101 positioned over a ground surface by means of multiple motorized Omni-directional wheels 102 installed beneath a platform 101, a microphone 103 installed over the platform 101, an artificial intelligence based imaging unit 104 installed over the platform 101, plurality of inverted L-shaped telescopic rods 105 installed over the platform 101, a motorized extendable gripper 106 configured with each of the rod, , the nozzle 107 is linked with a water reservoir, an air blower 108 is installed over the platform 101, a speaker 109 installed over the platform 101, an isometric view of a motorized circular sliding unit 201 installed over the platform 101, a robotic link 202 configured with the sliding unit 201, an inverted L-shaped telescopic bar 203 configured with the sliding unit 201, motorized brushes 204 configured with each of the slider, robotic arm 205 configured with the sliding unit 201.

[0023] The device disclosed here comprises of a platform 101 positioned over a ground surface by means of plurality of motorized Omni-directional wheels 102 installed beneath the platform 101 to provide translation to the platform 101 over the surface as per requirement. Plurality of motorized Omni-directional wheels 102 refers to four wheels 102 installed beneath the platform 101. The omnidirectional wheel is designed to move the platform 101 in any direction without changing the orientation of the platform 101 offering exceptional maneuverability to the platform 101. The wheels 102 enable the platform 101 to move seamlessly in any direction, making it valuable for translating the platform 101 over the surface as per requirement.

[0024] Upon translating the platform 101 over the surface as per requirement, a microphone 103 installed over the platform 101 receive voice command of a user to provide input regarding maintenance of a water tank of a radiator. The microphone 103 contains a small diaphragm connected to a moving coil. When sound waves of the user hit the diaphragm, the coil vibrates. This causes the coil to move back and forth in the magnet's field, generating an electrical current. The signal of which are sent to a microcontroller installed with the platform 101 regarding maintenance of the water tank of the radiator.

[0025] Upon providing the input regarding maintenance of the water tank of the radiator, the microcontroller further process the user's input and stores the processed data in a database linked with the microcontroller. Further, the user needs to access the platform 101 for positioning the water tank that is to be maintained on the platform 101. After processing the user's voice commands, the microcontroller actuates an artificial intelligence based imaging unit 104 installed over the platform 101 and integrated with a processor, captures and processes images of the water tank and based on the captured images, the microcontroller linked with the processor, determines dimensions of the water tank.

[0026] The artificial intelligence based imaging unit 104 comprises of a camera lens and a processor, wherein the 360 degree rotatable camera captures multiple images of the water tank and then the processor carries out a sequence of steps including pre-processing, feature extraction and segmentation. In pre-processing, the unwanted data like noise, background is removed out and the image is converted into a format recommended for feature extraction. The features like pixel intensities of the foreground image are extracted and are sent for classification to determine the dimensions of the water tank.

[0027] Upon determining the dimension of the water tank, plurality of inverted L-shaped telescopic rods 105 installed over the platform 101, extend and position a motorized extendable gripper 106 configured with each of the rod in contact with the outer periphery of the water tank to grip. The L-shaped telescopic rods 105 is linked to a pneumatic unit, including an air compressor, air cylinders, air valves and piston which works in collaboration to aid in extension and retraction of the motorized extendable gripper 106. The pneumatic unit is operated by the microcontroller, such that the microcontroller actuates valve to allow passage of compressed air from the compressor within the cylinder, the compressed air further develops pressure against the piston and results in pushing and extending the piston.

[0028] The piston is connected with the motorized extendable gripper 106 and due to applied pressure the motorized extendable gripper 106 extends and similarly, the microcontroller retracts L-shaped telescopic rods 105 by closing the valve resulting in retraction of the piston. Thus, the microcontroller regulates the extension/retraction of L-shaped telescopic rods 105 in order extend and position the motorized extendable gripper 106 to grip the water tank.

[0029] Whereas the motorized gripper 106 operates as a robotic hand that is designed to grasp the corn effectively. The gripper 106 typically incorporates a motorized mechanism that controls the opening and closing of the jaws of the gripper 106. The motor generates the necessary force to move the gripper 106 fingers for the opening and closing of the jaws with precision. This motorized action is controlled by the microcontroller for the smooth and precise gripping of the water tank. Further upon the detected dimension of the water tank, the microcontroller actuates plurality of hinge joints installed in each of the gripper 106 to regulate shape of the gripper 106 to enable the gripper 106 to grip outer periphery of the water tank.

[0030] Upon gripping the outer periphery of the water tank, a motorized circular sliding unit 201 installed over the platform 101 are actuated by the microcontroller to provide translation to a robotic link 202 configured with the sliding unit 201 in order to position around the water tank. The motorized circular sliding unit 201 consists of a pair of sliding rails fabricated with grooves in which the wheel of a slider is positioned that is further connected with a bi-directional motor via a shaft. The microcontroller actuates the bi-directional motor to rotate in a clockwise and anti-clockwise direction that aids in the rotation of the shaft, wherein the shaft converts the electrical energy into rotational energy for allowing movement of the wheel to translate over the sliding rail by a firm grip on the grooves. The movement of the sliding unit 201 results in the translation of the robotic link 202 to position around the water tank. Whereas the robotic link 202 is made of several segments that are attached together by joints also referred to as axes. Each joint of the segments contains a step motor that rotates and allows the robotic link 202 to complete a specific motion of the link. Upon actuation of the motorized circular sliding by the microcontroller, the motor drives the movement of the link to position around the water tank. Further, a nozzle 107 linked with the water reservoir by means of a flexible conduit is actuated by the microcontroller to dispense a pressurized water over the water tank. Upon actuation of nozzle 107 by the microcontroller, the pump pressurizes the incoming water solution, increasing its pressure significantly. High pressure enables the water to be dispense the pressurized water over the water tank.

[0031] Upon dispense the pressurized water over the water tank, an inverted L-shaped telescopic bar 203 configured with the sliding unit 201 are actuated by the microcontroller to extend and position a plate configured with the bar over the water tank. The L-shaped telescopic bar 203 is linked to a pneumatic unit, including an air compressor, air cylinders, air valves and piston which works in collaboration to aid in extension and retraction of the plate. The pneumatic unit is operated by the microcontroller, such that the microcontroller actuates valve to allow passage of compressed air from the compressor within the cylinder, the compressed air further develops pressure against the piston and results in pushing and extending the piston. The piston is connected with the plate and due to applied pressure the plate extends and similarly, the microcontroller retracts the L-shaped telescopic bar 203 by closing the valve resulting in retraction of the piston. Thus, the microcontroller regulates the extension/retraction of the plate in order to position the plate configured over the water tank.

[0032] Upon positioning of the plate, the microcontroller actuates a laser measurement sensor installed over the plate and synced with the imaging unit 104 to monitor presence and dimensions of holes over the water tank. The laser sensor consists of an emitter and receiver, and works on the principle of measuring the time delay between the laser beam to travel to the holes over the water tank and back. The sensor emits a light towards the surface of holes over the water tank and when the laser beam hits the surface of the holes over the water tank, the beam reflects back towards the receiver of the sensor. Upon detection of reflected beam by the sensor, the sensor precisely measures the time taken for the laser beam to travel to and back from the surface holes over the water tank. The sensor calculates the time taken by the beam and the calculated time taken by the beam is then converted into electrical signal, in the form of current, and send to the microcontroller. Upon receiving the signals, the microcontroller monitors the presence and dimensions of holes over the water tank.

[0033] Upon monitoring the presence and dimensions of holes over the water tank, plurality of motorized sliders installed over the plate are actuated by the microcontroller to provide translation to plurality of motorized brushes 204 configured with each of the slider to position over each of the hole. Plurality of motorized sliders described here are four in numbers whereas plurality of motorized brushes 204 described here are eight to ten in umber. The motorized brushes 204 are connected with each other by means of a cylindrical member integrated with a shaft coupled with a DC (Direct Current) motor to provide required movement to the motorized brushes 204 in order to position motorized brushes 204 over each of the hole. Whereas the motorized sliders typically consist of a motorized carriage attached to a rail for enabling the controlled linear movement of the links along with bar towards the sides of the frame. Upon actuation of the motorized slider by the microcontroller, the motor drives the carriage along the rail, facilitating a smooth and precise sliding motion to provide translation to eight to ten motorized brushes 204 configured with each of the slider to position over each of the hole.

[0034] Upon positioning the motorized brushed over each of the hole, the microcontroller actuates the brushes 204 to scrub the holes to remove dirt accumulated over the holes. The motorized brushes 204 arrangement comprises of linked bars linked in a brush like arrangement that powered by a motor. Upon actuation of the arrangement by the microcontroller, the motor starts to rotate in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction to impart the necessary force to move the links causing the arrangement either to extend or retract in order to scrub the holes and removes the dirt accumulated over the holes.

[0035] Upon removing the dirt accumulated over the holes, a robotic arm 205 configured with the sliding unit 201 are actuated by the microcontroller to position the arm over holes for removing clogging from the holes in a sequential manner by means of a hook configured with the arm. The robotic arm 205 mainly comprises of motor controllers, arm, end effector and sensors. The arm is the essential part of the robotic arm 205 and it comprises of the shoulder, elbow and wrist. All these components are connected through joints, with the shoulder resting at the base of the arm, typically connected to the microcontroller. The elbow is in the middle and allows the upper section of the arm to move forward or backward independently of the lower section. Finally, the wrist is at the very end of the upper arm and attaches to the end effector. The end effector position the arm over holes for removing clogging from the holes in the sequential manner by means of a hook configured with the arm.

[0036] Upon removing clogging from the holes in the sequential manner, plurality of pore crafted over the plate and linked with a suction unit is actuated by the microcontroller to withdraw the removed dirt and clogging from the water tank and collect in a chamber connected with the suction unit. Plurality of pores crafted disclosed here are more than ten in numbers. The suction unit typically consist of a suction pump, conduit, and suction catheter for withdrawing dirt and clogging from the water tank. The pump generates a negative pressure, creating a vacuum in the unit. The conduit connects the pump to the member, where the withdrawn pus is collected. The suction catheter is used to reach the desired area for withdrawing pus. Upon actuation of the suction unit by the microcontroller, the pump creates a pressure differential, enabling the pus to flow through the conduit into the member. Thus, enables controlled and efficient withdrawing of dirt and clogging from the water tank and collect in the chamber connected with the suction unit. Upon collection of the removed dirt and clogging in the chamber, the microcontroller re-actuates the nozzle 107 to dispense the water to rinse the water tank.

[0037] Upon rinse the water tank, an air blower 108 installed over the platform 101 are actuated by the microcontroller to propel air towards the water tank to remove moisture from the water tank. The air blower 108 comprises of a vortex, heater, impeller and an outlet duct. The blower increases the pressure of the air drawn for the surrounding of the water tank by a series of vortex motions formed by the centrifugal movement of the impeller. Upon actuation of the blower by the microcontroller, the impeller is rotating wherein the channels in the impeller push the drawn air from the surrounding forward through a heating unit, that increase the temperature of the absorbed air by creating the centrifugal movement that generates a helical movement of the air. During this centrifugal movement, the absorbed air is continuously compressed along the channel and the pressure increases linearly. The pressurized air is transferred from the outlet duct of the blower to the surface of the water tank, to remove moisture from the water tank.

[0038] Upon removal of the moisture from the water tank, the microcontroller actuates a moisture sensor installed over the platform 101 to monitors the moisture level on the water tank. The moisture sensor measures the moisture content by using properties such as electrical resistance, dielectric constant or interaction with neutrons as a proxy for the moisture content. The measured data is then converted into an analogue value which is further converted into an electrical signal, wherein the electrical signal is sent to the microcontroller. Thus, the microcontroller processes the received signal and determines the moisture level of the water tank.

[0039] Upon determining the moisture level of the water tank, a confocal sensor installed over the platform 101 monitors the thickness of the water tank. The confocal sensor works by focusing polychromatic white light onto the surface of the water tank by using the multi-lens optical configured with the sensor. The lenses are arranged in such a way that the white light is dispersed into the monochromatic light by controlled chromatic deviation on to the surface of the water tank. The light travels to the surface of the water tank and gets reflected by hitting the surface of the water tank. The received data if further send to microcontroller. The microcontroller processes the received data to monitor the thickness of the water tank.

[0040] Further in case the monitored thickness recedes a threshold value, the microcontroller actuates a speaker 109 installed over the platform 101 to produce a voice command to notify the user regarding the detected receded thickness and to take necessary actions accordingly. The speaker 109 works by receiving signals from the microcontroller, converting them into sound waves through a diaphragm's vibration, and producing audible sounds with the help of amplification and control circuitry in order to notify the user regarding the detected receded thickness and to take necessary actions accordingly.

[0041] Upon detecting the thickness of the water tank, an Ultra Violet light installed over the platform 101 are actuated by the microcontroller to emit UV light over the water tank to disinfect the water tank and prevent chances of microbial growth over the water tank. The ultra violet light comprises of UV lamp which stands as a sentinel against germs that might have managed to persist through the initial stages of treatment. Upon activation, the UV lamp emits powerful ultraviolet light, which acts as a potent germicidal agent. This light effectively targets and disrupts the DNA of any remaining microorganisms present in the water tank in order to prevent the chances of microbial growth over the water tank.

[0042] Lastly, a battery is installed within the device which is connected to the microcontroller that supplies current to all the electrically powered components that needs an amount of electric power to perform their functions and operation in an efficient manner. The battery utilized here, is generally a dry battery which is made up of Lithium-ion material that gives the device a long-lasting as well as an efficient DC (Direct Current) current which helps every component to function properly in an efficient manner. As the device is battery operated and do not need any electrical voltage for functioning. Hence the presence of battery leads to the portability of the device i.e., user is able to place as well as moves the device from one place to another as per the requirements.

[0043] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the platform 101 positioned over the ground surface by means of plurality of motorized Omni-directional wheels 102 are actuates to provide translation to the platform 101 over the surface as per requirement. Further, the microphone 103 receive voice command of the user to provide input regarding maintenance of the water tank of the radiator. Upon receiving the input command the microcontroller actuates the artificial intelligence based imaging unit 104 for capturing and processing images of the water tank in order to determine the dimensions of the water tank. Further, plurality of inverted L-shaped telescopic rods 105 extend and position the motorized extendable gripper 106 to grip the water tank. Upon the detected dimensions, the microcontroller actuates plurality of hinge joints to regulate shape of the gripper 106 to enable the gripper 106 to grip outer periphery of the water tank. Further, the motorized circular sliding unit 201 are actuated by the microcontroller to provide translation to the robotic link 202 to position around the water tank, wherein and the microcontroller actuates the nozzle 107 to dispense the pressurized water over the water tank. Upon dispensing the pressurized water the inverted L-shaped telescopic bar 203 are actuated by the microcontroller to extend and position the plate over the water tank, and upon positioning of the plate, the microcontroller actuates the laser measurement sensor to monitor presence and dimensions of holes over the water tank. Further, plurality of motorized sliders are actuated by the microcontroller to provide translation to plurality of motorized brushes 204 to position over each of the hole and upon positioning of the brushes 204, the microcontroller actuates the brushes 204 to scrub the holes to remove dirt accumulated over the holes. Upon removing the dirt accumulated over the holes, the robotic arm 205 are actuated by the microcontroller to position the arm over holes for removing clogging from the holes in a sequential manner by means of a hook. The plurality of pore, linked with the suction unit are actuated by the microcontroller to withdraw the removed dirt and clogging from the water tank and collect in a chamber connected with the suction unit. Further, upon collection of the removed dirt and clogging in the chamber, the microcontroller re-actuates the nozzle 107 to dispense the water to rinse the water tank. Upon rinsing the water tank the air blower 108 are actuated by the microcontroller to propel air towards the water tank to remove moisture from the water tank and monitors with the moisture sensor. Further, the confocal sensor monitors the thickness of the water tank and in case the monitored thickness recedes the threshold value, the microcontroller actuates the speaker 109 to produce the voice command to notify the user to regarding the detected receded thickness and to take necessary actions accordingly. Further the Ultra Violet light emit UV light over the water tank to disinfect the water tank and prevent chances of microbial growth over the water tank.
