Abstract
A system for automatically containing leakage of liquid from a reservoir includes a surrounding wall, a driving unit, a sensor and a controller unit. The driving unit is configured to drive the surrounding wall to move between containing and non-containing positions. The sensor is capable of generating a detection signal. The controller unit receives the detection signal, and determines whether leakage of liquid from the reservoir has occurred. When it is determined that the leakage of liquid from the reservoir has occurred, the driving unit is actuated by the controller unit to drive the surrounding wall to move from the non-containing position to the containing position for containing the leakage of liquid.
Claims13
A system for automatically containing leakage of liquid from a reservoir, said system comprising:
- a surrounding wall operable to move between a containing position, in which said surrounding wall encloses the reservoir, and a non-containing position, in which the reservoir is unenclosed by said surrounding wall;
- a driving unit configured to drive said surrounding wall to move between the containing position and the non-containing position;
- a sensor to be disposed around the reservoir, said sensor being capable of generating a detection signal;
- and
- a controller unit coupled to said sensor to receive the detection signal therefrom, and configured to determine whether leakage of liquid from the reservoir has occurred based on the detection signal, and to actuate said driving unit to drive said surrounding wall to move from the non-containing position to the containing position for containing the leakage of liquid when it is determined that the leakage of liquid from the reservoir has occurred.
