| 摘要 |
The present invention provides an automated chemical drain system which includes a buffer tank for collecting used chemical from a process machine, at least two level sensors in the buffer tank for sensing a fluid level and sending out a signal, a controller for receiving the signal from the level sensors and then sending out a second signal to a solenoid controlled valve when the first signal exceeds a threshold value, a solenoid controlled valve that is in fluid communication with the buffer tank and a collection tank, and a collection tank for collecting used chemical from the buffer tank. The collection tank may further be provided with a weight sensing device such that a signal may be sent out to the controller when the weight of the collection tank exceeds a maximum allowable value so that the controller shuts off the solenoid controlled valve to avoid overflow in the collection tank and to alert a maintenance operator to empty the collection tank.
