  • Patent number: 11447996
    Abstract: Provided is a structure for operating a watertight door by use of buoyancy. The structure includes: a detention tank for storing rainwater flowing from a street inlet; a buoyant member which is installed in the detention tank; and a sensor installed in the detention tank, in which if the buoyant member raised by the buoyant of the rainwater collected in the detention tank comes into contact with the sensor, the watertight door is automatically operated. The watertight door structure manually operated at localized heavy rain is improved, and the watertight door is automatically operated if the water level reaches the predetermined level.

  • Patent number: 11326924
    Abstract: Disclosed in one embodiment are a device for measuring water level by using a capacitive technique, and a method therefor. A device for measuring water level comprises: an electrode unit which includes a first electrode and a second electrode arranged in parallel in a lengthwise direction, and which allow voltages to be applied to the first electrode and the second electrode; and a control unit for measuring the applied voltages, calculating the amount of reference charging time it takes to reach a second voltage from a predetermined first voltage on the basis of the measured voltages, and determining water level on the basis of the calculated reference charging time.
