Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, there are mainly two types of water meters for residents. One is the new digital water meter, which is powered by batteries, and automatically collects data such as water volume at regular intervals and uploads it to the server; the other is the old traditional mechanical water meter. The data collection of the water meter requires manual collection.
Although digital water meters have the advantage of saving manual meter reading steps compared to mechanical water meters, there are still a considerable number of users using traditional mechanical water meters. The main reason is that the old mechanical water meters have not yet expired It can be used. If you want to refit the water meter, it will also involve the cost of new water meter equipment, rare professional refitting workers, refitting labor costs, and time costs. These conditions determine that the replacement of water meters is not only expensive, but also time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, relevant The department has been in a slow state on the transformation of the water meter

Embodiment 1

[0020] Embodiment 1, with reference to attached Figure 1-8 , a water meter pointer pointing identification device installed above the water meter circular scale 2, including a base 11, 6 light-emitting diodes 13 and a corresponding receiver 12 that can receive light from the light-emitting diodes 13; the receiver 12 is arranged on the base 11 Center position; the light emitting diodes 13 are distributed around the receiver 12 and arranged in a circular array, and there are two light emitting diodes 13 that can illuminate the pointer pointing part 4 of the water meter when activated; when working, the light emitting diodes 13 are started and then turned off in sequence , the receiver 12 receives the signals of different LEDs 13 at different times, and judges the direction of the pointer of the water meter according to the difference in the reflection intensity of each signal.

[0021] The following introduces the principle of the specific identification of the pointer of the w...

Embodiment 2

[0028] Embodiment 2, installed above the circular scale of the water meter, including a base, a light-emitting diode, and a number of corresponding receivers that can receive light from the light-emitting diode; The pointing part; the receivers are distributed and arranged around the light-emitting diodes, and at least two receivers can receive the signal reflected by the pointing part of the water meter pointer when they are started; The signal of the diode is used to judge the direction of the water meter pointer according to the difference in the reflection intensity of each signal.

[0029] This embodiment is similar in structure and principle to Embodiment 1. The difference in structure is that the light-emitting diodes in this embodiment are located in the center of the base, and the receivers are distributed around the light-emitting diodes and arranged in a circular array; when the device in this embodiment is working, the light-emitting diodes start to illuminate, whi...

Embodiment 3

[0030]Embodiment 3, a remote meter reading device for water meters, including at least one water meter pointer pointing identification device, a signal transmitting module, and a microcontroller module of any of the above-mentioned embodiments, and the microcontroller module is respectively connected with the water meter pointer pointing identification device, The signal transmitting module is connected, and the micro-controller module controls the pointer of the water meter to point to the identification device to identify the water volume data, and transmits a wireless signal through the signal transmitting module. The wireless signal includes the identified water volume data and the serial number of the remote meter reading device for the water meter. The remote meter reading device of this embodiment can be powered by a battery, and is installed on the watch glass of the water meter in the form of an external fastener of the water meter. , the water meter pointer points to ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a water meter needle pointing recognition device. The water meter needle pointing recognition device is installed above round scales of a water meter and comprises a base, a plurality of light-emitting diodes and a corresponding receiver which can receive lights of the light-emitting diodes, the receivers are arranged in the middle of the center of the base, the light-emitting diodes are distributed around the center of the receiver as the center, and there exist two light-emitting diodes which can irradiate a pointing part of the needle of the water meter when started; when the device is operated, the light-emitting diodes are switched on in turn and switched off, signals of different light-emitting diodes at different timings, and the pointing direction of the needle of the water meter is judged according to the signal reflecting intensity of all signals. The device can be directly installed on an existing mechanical water meter gauge, water meter water amount data is automatically recognized at a set timing, the data is transmitted outwards, and remote meter reading is achieved. The device has the advantages that labor force, materials and time spent onmanual water reading are saved, the converting of an original mechanical water meter can be prevented, converting labor force and finance resource can be saved, and the meter reading device has the advantages of low power consumption and long service life.
