Abstract

The present invention discloses an online monitoring system, comprising a self-priming pump, a first sample pipe and a container containing a sample to be tested, and the first sample pipe connects the self-priming pump and the container, and the self-priming pump transports the ample to be tested in the container to the first sample pipe; the online monitoring system further comprises a fluid supplementation device connected with the first sample pipe, and a default level value is preset in the fluid supplementation device, and the fluid supplementation device monitors a level of the sample to be tested in the first sample pipe, and extracts the sample to be tested from the container to supplement to the first sample pipe as the level value of the sample to be tested in the first sample pipe is lower than the default level value.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wastewater monitor and analysis system, comprising a self-priming pump, a first sample pipe and a container, which is a Parshall flume tank, containing a sample to be tested, and the first sample pipe connects the self-priming pump and the container, and the self-priming pump transports the sample to be tested in the container to the first sample pipe, wherein
the wastewater monitor and analysis system further comprises a fluid supplementation device connected with the first sample pipe, and a default level value is preset in the fluid supplementation device, and the fluid supplementation device monitors a level of the sample to be tested in the first sample pipe, and extracts the sample to be tested from the container to supplement the sample to be tested to the first sample pipe as the level value of the sample to be tested in the first sample pipe is lower than the default level value to ensure that the self-priming pump normally work and to ensure that the wastewater monitor and analysis system normally and constantly perform monitoring.

2. The wastewater monitor and analysis system according to claim 1 , wherein
the fluid supplementation device comprises a level sensing switch, a pump unit and a fluid supplementation pipe, and the level sensing switch is electrically connected to both the first sample pipe and the pump unit, and the pump unit extracts the sample to be tested from the container and transports the same to the fluid supplementation pipe, and the fluid supplementation pipe is connected with the pump unit and the first sample pipe.

3. The wastewater monitor and analysis system according to claim 2 , wherein the level sensing switch comprises one of a capacitance type level switch, a floating ball type level switch, an electronic level switch, an ultrasonic and a pitchfork level switch.

4. The wastewater monitor and analysis system according to claim 3 , wherein the pump unit is an immersible pump.

5. The wastewater monitor and analysis system according to claim 3 , wherein the fluid supplementation device further comprises a filter unit, and the filter unit is located between the pump unit and the container, and one end of the filter unit is connected to the pump unit and the other end is connected to the container.

6. The wastewater monitor and analysis system according to claim 5 , wherein the online monitoring system further comprises a drain pipe, and the drain pipe is connected to the online monitor and the container.

7. The wastewater monitor and analysis system according to claim 2 , wherein the pump unit is an immersible pump.

8. The wastewater monitor and analysis system according to claim 2 , wherein the fluid supplementation device further comprises a filter unit, and the filter unit is located between the pump unit and the container, and one end of the filter unit is connected to the pump unit and the other end is connected to the container.

9. The wastewater monitor and analysis system according to claim 8 , wherein the wastewater monitor and analysis system further comprises a monitor equipment and a second sample pipe, and the second sample pipe is connected to the monitor equipment and the self-priming pump, and the monitor equipment is electrically connected to the self-priming pump and the fluid supplementation device, respectively to control on and off of the self-priming pump and the fluid supplementation device, respectively.

10. The wastewater monitor and analysis system according to claim 1 , wherein the wastewater monitor and analysis system further comprises a monitor equipment and a second sample pipe, and the second sample pipe is connected to the monitor equipment and the self-priming pump, and the monitor equipment is electrically connected to the self-priming pump and the fluid supplementation device, respectively to control on and off of the self-priming pump and the fluid supplementation device, respectively.
