Problems solved by technology

At present, the water meter products in the market are divided into metal materials, stainless steel materials and plastic materials. Among them, the water meter housing made of plastic materials has poor mechanical strength, and the metal materials and stainless steel materials are mainly made of casting technology, and there are aluminum oxidation, iron rust, and copper corrosion. , high patina lead, stainless steel is not easy to process and other defects, and the casting process has common shortcomings: polluting the environment, low density, rough surface, large proportion of pores, etc.

Abstract

The invention discloses an aluminum forged water meter. A shell of the water meter is manufactured through the steps that aluminum alloy is heated to 480+ / -5 DEG C and then placed in a die-forging die to be forged into the shell. The price of the whole aluminum forged water meter can be lowered by about 20%, the brightness of the water meter is improved by three times compared with that of water meters made of copper or iron or stainless steel, the density is increased, pores and water leakage are avoided, and the environment is not polluted in the forging process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a water meter. More specifically, the present invention relates to a forged aluminum water meter. Background technique [0002] A water meter is an instrument installed on a water pipe to measure water flow. It mainly includes a shell and an inner core. The shell is a cavity for containing water. Therefore, the material of the shell must be closely related to the water quality of the metered water. At present, the water meter products in the market are divided into metal materials, stainless steel materials and plastic materials. Among them, the water meter housing made of plastic materials has poor mechanical strength, and the metal materials and stainless steel materials are mainly made of casting technology, and there are aluminum oxidation, iron rust, and copper corrosion. , high patina lead, stainless steel is not easy to process and other defects, and the casting process has common shortcomings: polluting the environment...
