Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of household water meters, in particular to a hot-melt household water meter with an antifreeze effect. Background Art

[0002] A water meter is a water meter designed for use in environments above freezing point. In low temperature weather, antifreeze protection measures need to be taken for the water meter. Currently, split-type water meters on the market generally have their outer covers directly pressed onto the counter, thereby fixing the counter. In extremely low temperature weather, when the water temperature drops below 0°C, ice will form at the pipes at both ends of the water meter, forming a plug. Subsequently, the water in the water meter will also freeze, causing the sealing plate in the water meter to bulge upward and deform, causing the bottom of the counter to be deformed or even damaged by the upward pressure.

[0003] The existing antifreeze method for household water meters generally includes a thick insulation layer on the outside of the water meter. Although this method can prevent freezing, the effect is not obvious. Therefore, a hot-melt household water meter with antifreeze effect is needed to improve the shortcomings of the existing technology. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a household water meter based on hot melt with antifreeze effect to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

If the inlet and outlet of the water meter body are frozen and blocked, hot water can be drawn from the hot water tank through the horizontal pipe, and the water falls from the outlet pipe to the inlet and outlet of the water meter body, and then hot melting can be performed.

[0051] Considering the need to connect the connecting pipe 121 and the water meter body 120, a connecting head 1211 is provided at one end of the connecting pipe 121 close to the water meter body 120. The two connecting heads 1211 are respectively threadedly connected to the inlet and outlet ends of the water meter body 120, thereby connecting the connecting pipe 121 and the water meter body 120.

[0052] Taking into account the need to connect the connecting pipe 121 and the antifreeze block 111, a fixing block 122 is connected to the surface of the connecting pipe 121, and a No. 1 fixing head 1221 is provided at one end of the fixing block 122 close to the antifreeze block 111, and a threaded head 1112 is provided at one end of the antifreeze block 111.

The No. 2 fixing head 1222 is threadedly connected to one end of the connecting pipe 121 for fixing the connecting pipe 121 and the fixing block 122.

[0054] Taking into account the need to heat the water source inside the hot water tank 2100, extension tubes 132 are provided at both ends of the right surface of the heating tube 131. The hot water tank 210 is fixedly connected to the antifreeze rack 110 through the connecting blocks 211 provided at both ends of one side.

Through the operation of the heating tube 131, heat can be transferred to the second heating rack 1321 through the extension tube 132, thereby heating the water source inside the hot water tank 2100.

[0055] Taking into account the need to extract the water source inside the hot water tank 2100, an installation box 212 is provided on the top of the hot water tank 210, and a water pump 222 is installed inside the installation box 212. The water inlet end of the water pump 222 is connected to the water inlet pipe 2221, and the water inlet pipe 2221 is located inside the hot water tank 2100. The water outlet end of the water pump 222 is fixedly connected to the cross pipe 220. Through the operation of the water pump 222, water can be pumped into the hot water tank 2100 and then transferred to the cross pipe 220 for use.

[0056] In order to stabilize the transverse pipe 220 , stabilizing heads 2101 are provided at both ends of the upper surface of the hot water tank 210 . Through holes are provided inside the stabilizing heads 2101 . The two through holes are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the transverse pipe 220 , thereby stabilizing the transverse pipe 220 .

[0057] In order to prevent the antifreeze block 111 from generating high temperature and causing harm to the outside, an insulating layer 1113 is provided on the outside of the heating chamber 1111.

[0058] In order to protect the water meter body 120, protective shells 1101 are provided at both ends of the outer side of the installation groove 1100. The protective shells 1101 are arc-shaped structures. The water meter body 120 is located between the two protective shells 1101.

[0060] When the household water meter with antifreeze effect based on the hot melt type of this embodiment is used, first, the two connecting pipes 121 are respectively inserted into the connecting cavity 1110, and then the fixing block 122 is used to make the No. 1 fixing head 1221 contact with the threaded head 1112, and then the fixing block 122 is rotated clockwise, so that the No. 1 fixing head 1221 and the threaded head 1112 are threadedly rotated, and the No. 2 fixing head 1222 and the connecting pipe 121 are threadedly rotated, and the fixing of the connecting pipe 121 and the antifreeze block 111 is completed, and then the water inlet and outlet ends of the water meter body 120 are connected to the connecting pipe 121; at this time, the heating pipe 131 is powered on to make it work, and the heating pipe 131 works to transfer heat to the No. 1 heating frame 1311, so that The temperature inside the heating chamber 1111 rises, and the temperature is then transferred from the surface of the connecting chamber 1110 to its interior, so that the connecting pipe 121 can be heated; if the inlet and outlet water ends of the water meter body 120 are frozen and blocked, the heating pipe 131 transfers heat to the extension pipe 132, and the heat enters the hot water tank 2100 through the second heating rack 1321, and heats the water source inside it, and then the water pump 222 is connected to the power supply to make it work. The operation of the water pump 222 drives the water inlet pipe 2221 to extract hot water from the hot water tank 2100, and the water flow then flows through the horizontal pipe 220 and falls to the inlet and outlet water ends of the water meter body 120 through the water outlet pipe 221. The ice cubes at both ends of the water meter body 120 can be melted by the high temperature.
