Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of collectors, and particularly relates to a water meter information collector and a collection method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A water meter is an instrument for measuring water flow, mostly for measuring the cumulative water flow. Generally, it is divided into two categories: volumetric water meters and velocity water meters. In the process of people's life and production, water meters are needed to measure the amount of water used. Traditional water meters require manual meter reading, which is a large workload. With the development of technology and people's usage needs, many intelligent remote water meters have emerged on the market, and the readings of water meters can be obtained without the need for staff to visit.

[0003] There are some deficiencies in existing water meter information collectors: 1. When installing existing water meter information collectors, they are often installed on the water meter by means of bolt positioning and fixing. Water meters are often installed in relatively humid environments. This method requires fixing multiple bolts during the installation process, and the bolts will rust in the humid environment during later use. If the collector needs to be replaced or repaired, the bolts cannot be disassembled. If forced to disassemble, it will cause damage to the collector.

[0004] 2. Although existing water meter collectors are fixed to the water meter by bolts, the price of the collectors is relatively expensive. If there are thieves, they can directly twist the bolts to disassemble them, greatly increasing the possibility of theft.

[0005] 3. Existing collectors that intercept water meter information by shooting the meter display head with a camera are all equipped with mirror cameras. After the water meter collector is installed on the water meter, it will be unattended for a long time. The mirror surface of the camera will inevitably be attached with a large amount of dust when exposed to the air for a long time. The dust will block the lens, affecting the clarity of the collected information and bringing inconvenience to the collection process. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a water meter information collector and a collection method thereof to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a water meter information collector and its collection method, including a meter body, a mounting mechanism, a shielding mechanism, a collector body, and a cleaning mechanism. A meter display head is fixedly installed at the upper end of the center of the meter body. On the upper end of the meter body on both sides of the meter display head, a mounting mechanism for quickly installing and disassembling the collector components is installed. Outside the mounting mechanism, a shielding mechanism for shielding the open end of the disassembled components is installed. The collector body is fixedly installed at the upper end of the mounting mechanism. A camera lens is fixedly installed at the lower side of the center of the collector body. On the lower end of the collector body on both sides of the camera lens, a cleaning mechanism for wiping the surface attachment of the collector components is installed.

Card slots are opened on the outer side walls of the slots and the outer ends of the first clamping plates are clamped inside the card slots. Push plates are embedded inside the centers of the card slots. Second side grooves are opened on both the upper and lower side walls in the middle section of the card slots. First sliding rods are fixedly installed inside the second side grooves. First sliding sleeves are fixedly installed on both the upper and lower side walls of the push plate and are sleeved on the outer walls of the first sliding rods. One end of the first sliding sleeve close to the first clamping plate is fixedly connected with a second spring.

[0009] Preferably, the shielding mechanism includes a shielding plate and a third side groove. The third side groove is opened on the upper and lower side walls of the card slot on the side away from the second spring of the second side groove. A second sliding rod is fixedly installed inside the third side groove. A second sliding sleeve is sleeved on the side wall of the second sliding rod. A shielding plate is fixedly installed between the upper and lower second sliding sleeves. The rear end of the second sliding sleeve is fixedly connected with a third spring.

[0010] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes limit grooves. Two groups of limit grooves are symmetrically opened on the lower side walls of the collector body on both sides of the camera lens. Rod bodies are installed inside the limit grooves. Slide plates are sleeved on the side walls of the rod bodies. A motor is fixedly connected to the front end of the rod body on the left side of the camera lens. A connecting plate is fixedly installed between the left and right slide plates. A placement groove is opened on the upper side of the connecting plate. A brush plate is inserted inside the placement groove. Side slots are opened on both side walls of the brush plate. Slide grooves are opened on both side walls of the placement groove. Pull plates are embedded inside the slide grooves. One end of the pull plate close to the brush plate penetrates through the slide groove and is fixedly connected with a second clamping plate. Fourth side grooves are opened on the front and rear sides of the slide groove. Third sliding rods are fixedly installed inside the fourth side grooves. Third sliding sleeves are fixedly installed on the front and rear of the pull plate and are sleeved on the side walls of the third sliding rods. The outer ends in the horizontal direction of the third sliding sleeves are fixedly connected with fourth springs.

[0011] Preferably, the outer surface of the first clamping plate is an inclined surface and its cross-sectional dimensions are consistent with those of the inner groove.

[0012] Preferably, the covering area size of the shield plate matches the cross-sectional size of the slot and a nameplate is provided on the outer wall of the shield plate.

[0013] Preferably, a thread is provided inside the upper side of the slide plate on the left side of the collector body and meshes with a thread provided on the outer wall of the rod body on the left side of the collector body.

[0014] Preferably, the outer end of the third sliding sleeve is fixedly connected to one end of a fourth spring, and the other end of the fourth spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fourth side groove away from one end of the placement groove.

[0015] A collection method of a water meter information collector comprises the following steps:

[0016] Step 1: Align the plug-in plates at the lower ends of both sides of the collector body with the slots and insert them downward directly. When the outer inclined surface of the first card plate is squeezed by the slot, the first card plate is squeezed and moves and contracts in the inner slot, driving the upper and lower first side plates to move in the first side slots and squeeze the first spring to generate potential energy. When the plug-in plate continues to be inserted downward and the first card plate is aligned with the slot, the first spring releases the potential energy and pushes the first side plate outward so that the first card plate is inserted into the slot to complete the fixed installation of the collector body.

[0017] Step 2: When the collector body needs to be disassembled, the shield plate needs to be pushed to the rear end by manual friction so that it drives the second sliding sleeves on the upper and lower sides to slide backward on the second sliding rod, and the shield plate is moved vertically backward and opened under the limit of the third side groove. While the second sliding sleeve moves backward, it squeezes the third spring to generate potential energy, and then the push plate inside the card slot can be leaked out;

[0018] Step 3: Press the push plate into the card slot to make it move at the inner end of the card slot, pushing the first card plate inside the card slot to make the first card plate detach from the card slot. When the push plate moves inward, it drives the first sliding sleeves on the upper and lower sides to move inward on the outer wall of the first sliding rod to squeeze the second spring to generate potential energy. When the first card plate is completely detached from the card slot, the collector body can be pulled upward to complete the disassembly;

[0019] Step 4: When the collector body is installed on the upper side of the meter body and is exposed to the air for a long time, the remote control terminal receives the control signal through the signal receiver inside the collector body to control the operation of the motor, driving the rod body connected to the front end to rotate. Through the meshing of the outer wall threads, the external slide plate is driven to move back and forth in the limit groove, driving the lower brush plate to move back and forth to effectively brush the dust on the lower surface of the camera lens. After the brush plate is used for a long time, it will also be contaminated with dust. Then, it is necessary to manually pull the pull plates to both sides to make them move outward in the chute, driving the second clamping plate to disengage from the side slots on both sides of the brush plate. At the same time, the front and rear third sliding sleeves are driven to slide outward on the outer wall of the third sliding rod, squeezing the fourth spring, and the brush plate can be directly pulled out and disassembled from the placement groove. Insert a new brush plate and release the pulling force on the pull plates. The fourth spring releases its potential energy to push the second clamping plate into the aligned side slots to complete the reinstallation of the brush plate;

[0020] Step 5: The upper side of the meter display head is photographed in real time through the camera lens, and the photographed signal is transmitted to the remote data collection end through the signal transmitter and the wireless network connector inside the collector body, and the rapid acquisition and transmission of the water meter information can be completed.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The first clamping plate is clamped in the corresponding card slot through the contraction and release of elastic potential energy, so as to quickly install the water meter information collection component, bringing great convenience to the installation of the collection component.

[0022] 2. The shielding plate is blocked by setting a nameplate on the outer side wall, and at the same time, it is elastically pushed by the third spring to be clamped at the position of the card slot opening, so that the shielding plate shields the lower side plug-in component of the collection meter inside, so that the collection meter has an anti-theft effect.

[0023] 3. The elastic contraction and release of the fourth spring drive the second clamping plate to be easily inserted and pulled out from the side slots, enabling the cleaning component of the brush plate to more effectively clean the surface dust of the camera lens, so that the camera lens can take a clearer photo of the meter display head, achieving clearer information collection and increasing the collection effect of the collection component.

[0038] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , 2 , 5. The outer end of the third sliding sleeve 614 is fixedly connected to one end of the fourth spring 615, and the other end of the fourth spring 615 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fourth side slot 612 far from the placement groove 606; it is convenient to separately disassemble the cleaning component and improve the subsequent cleaning effect.

[0039] A collection method for a water meter information collector includes the following steps:

[0040] Step 1: Align the plug plates 202 at the lower ends of both sides of the collector body 4 with the slots 201 and insert them downward directly. When the outer inclined surface of the first card plate 204 is squeezed by the slots 201, the first card plate 204 is squeezed and moves and shrinks in the inner groove 203, driving the first side plates 206 on the upper and lower sides to move in the first side grooves 205 to squeeze the first spring 207 to generate potential energy. When the plug plate 202 continues to be inserted downward and the first card plate 204 is aligned with the slot 208, the first spring 207 releases the potential energy and pushes the first side plate 206 outward to insert the first card plate 204 into the slot 208 to complete the fixed installation of the collector body 4;

[0041] Step 2: When the collector body 4 needs to be disassembled, the shield plate 301 needs to be manually pushed to the rear end by friction so that it drives the second sliding sleeves 304 on the upper and lower sides to slide backward on the second sliding rod 303, and the shield plate 301 is moved vertically backward to open under the limit of the third side groove 302. While the second sliding sleeve 304 moves backward, it squeezes the third spring 305 to generate potential energy, and then the push plate 209 inside the slot 208 can be leaked out;

[0042] Step 3: Press the push plate 209 into the slot 208 to make it move at the inner end of the slot 208 to push the first card plate 204 in the slot 208 to make the first card plate 204 disengage from the slot 208. While the push plate 209 moves inward, it drives the first sliding sleeves 212 on the upper and lower sides to move inward on the outer wall of the first sliding rod 211 to squeeze the second spring 213 to generate potential energy. When the first card plate 204 is completely disengaged from the slot 208, the collector body 4 can be pulled upward to complete the disassembly.

[0043] Step 4: When the collector body 4 is installed on the upper side of the meter body 1 and is exposed to the air for a long time, the remote control end receives the control signal through the internal signal receiver of the collector body 4 to control the motor 604 to drive the rod body 602 connected to the front end to rotate, and the external slide plate 603 is driven to move back and forth in the limit groove 601 through the outer wall thread engagement, and the brush plate 607 at the lower end is driven to move back and forth to effectively brush away the dust on the lower side surface of the camera lens 5. After long-term use, the brush plate 607 itself will be contaminated with dust, so it needs to be manually pulled to both sides. The pull plate 610 moves outward in the slide groove 609, driving the second clamping plate 611 to disengage from the side slots 608 on both sides of the brush plate 607, and at the same time driving the front and rear third sliding sleeves 614 to slide outward on the outer wall of the third sliding rod 613, squeezing the fourth spring 615, so that the brush plate 607 can be directly pulled out of the placement groove 606 for removal, and a new brush plate 607 is inserted to release the pulling force on the pull plate 610, and the fourth spring 615 releases the potential energy to push the second clamping plate 611 into the aligned side slots 608 to complete the reinstallation of the brush plate 607;

[0044] Step 5: Take a real-time photo of the upper side of the meter display head 7 through the camera lens 5, and transmit the photo signal to the remote data collection end through the signal transmitter and wireless network connector inside the collector body 4, so as to complete the rapid collection and transmission of the water meter information.

[0045] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows: the plug plates 202 at the lower ends of both sides of the collector body 4 are aligned with the slots 201 and inserted downward directly; when the outer inclined surface of the first card plate 204 is squeezed by the slots 201, the first card plate 204 is squeezed and moves and contracts in the inner groove 203, driving the first side plates 206 on the upper and lower sides to move in the first side grooves 205 to squeeze the first spring 207 to generate potential energy; when the plug plate 202 continues to be inserted downward, the first card plate 204 is aligned with the slot 208, and the first spring 207 releases the potential energy to push the first side plate 206 outward to insert the first card plate 204 into the slot 208, thereby completing the fixed installation of the collector body 4;

[0046] When the collector body 4 needs to be disassembled, it is necessary to manually rub and push the shield plate 301 toward the rear end so that it drives the second sliding sleeves 304 on the upper and lower sides to slide backwards on the second sliding rod 303, and the shield plate 301 moves vertically backward and opens under the limit of the third side groove 302. While the second sliding sleeve 304 moves backwards, it squeezes the third spring 305 to generate potential energy, and then the push plate 209 inside the slot 208 can be leaked out, and the push plate 209 is pressed into the slot 208 to move at the inner end of the slot 208 to push the first card plate 204 inside the slot 208 so that the first card plate 204 is out of the slot 208. While the push plate 209 moves inwards, it drives the first sliding sleeves 212 on the upper and lower sides to move inwards on the outer wall of the first sliding rod 211 to squeeze the second spring 213 to generate potential energy. When the first card plate 204 is completely out of the slot 208, the collector body 4 can be pulled upward to complete the disassembly;

[0047] When the collector body 4 is installed on the upper side of the meter body 1 and is exposed to the air for a long time, the remote control terminal receives the control signal through the signal receiver inside the collector body 4 to control the operation of the motor 604, which drives the rotation of the rod body 602 connected to the front end. Through the meshing of the outer wall threads, the external slide plate 603 is driven to move back and forth in the limit groove 601, driving the lower brush plate 607 to move back and forth to effectively brush the dust on the lower surface of the camera lens 5. After the brush plate 607 is used for a long time, it will also be contaminated with dust. Then, it is necessary to manually pull the pull plate 610 to both sides to make it move outward in the chute 609, driving the second clamping plate 611 to disengage from the side slots 608 on both sides of the brush plate 607. At the same time, the front and rear third sliding sleeves 614 are driven to slide outward on the outer wall of the third sliding rod 613, squeezing the fourth spring 615. Then, the brush plate 607 can be directly pulled out and disassembled from the placement groove 606. Insert a new brush plate 607 and release the pulling force on the pull plate 610. The fourth spring 615 releases its potential energy to push the second clamping plate 611 into the aligned side slots 608 to complete the reinstallation of the brush plate 607. The upper side of the meter display head 7 is photographed in real time by the camera lens 5, and the photographed signal is transmitted to the remote data collection end through the signal transmitter and the wireless network connector inside the collector body 4, thus completing the rapid acquisition and transmission of the water meter information.

2. A collection method for a water meter information collector characterized in that this method uses a water meter information collector as described in claim 1 above and includes the following steps: Step 1: Align the plug plates (202) at the lower ends of both sides of the collector body (4) with the slots (201) and directly insert downwards; when the outer inclined surface of the first card plate (204) is squeezed by the slots (201), the first card plate (204) is squeezed and moves and contracts in the inner groove (203), driving the upper and lower first side plates (206) to move in the first side grooves (205) to squeeze the first spring (207) to generate potential energy; when the plug plate (202) continues to be inserted downwards, the first card plate (204) is aligned with the slot (208), and the first spring (207) releases the potential energy to push the first side plate (206) outwards so that the first card plate (204) is inserted into the slot (208), thereby completing the fixed installation of the collector body (4); Step 2: When the collector body (4) needs to be disassembled, the shielding plate (301) needs to be pushed to the rear end by manual friction so that it drives the second sliding sleeves (304) on the upper and lower sides to slide backward on the second sliding rod (303), and the shielding plate (301) is moved vertically backward to open under the limit of the third side groove (302). While the second sliding sleeve (304) moves backward, it squeezes the third spring (305) to generate potential energy, and then the push plate (209) inside the slot (208) can be leaked out; Step 3: Press the push plate (209) toward the inside of the card slot (208) to make it move at the inner end of the card slot (208) to push the first card plate (204) inside the card slot (208) so that the first card plate (204) is separated from the card slot (208). While the push plate (209) moves inward, it drives the first sliding sleeves (212) on the upper and lower sides to move inward on the outer wall of the first sliding rod (211) to squeeze the second spring (213) to generate potential energy. When the first card plate (204) is completely separated from the card slot (208), the collector body (4) can be pulled upward to complete the disassembly; Step 4: When the collector body (4) is installed on the upper side of the meter body (1) and is exposed to the air for a long time, the remote control end receives the control signal through the internal signal receiver of the collector body (4) to control the motor (604) to drive the rod body (602) connected to the front end to rotate, and drives the external slide plate (603) to move back and forth in the limit groove (601) through the outer wall thread engagement, and drives the brush plate (607) at the lower end to move back and forth to effectively brush away dust on the lower side surface of the camera lens (5). After long-term use, the brush plate (607) itself will be contaminated with dust, and it is necessary to manually pull the pull plate (610) to both sides. ) so that it moves outward in the slide groove (609), driving the second clamping plate (611) to disengage from the side slots (608) on both sides of the brush plate (607), and at the same time driving the front and rear third sliding sleeves (614) to slide outward on the outer wall of the third sliding rod (613), squeezing the fourth spring (615), and then directly pulling the brush plate (607) from the placement groove (606) to remove it, inserting a new brush plate (607) to release the tension of the pulling plate (610), and the fourth spring (615) releases the potential energy to push the second clamping plate (611) into the aligned side slots (608) to complete the reinstallation of the brush plate (607); Step 5: Take a real-time photo of the upper side of the meter display head (7) through the camera lens (5), and transmit the signal of the photo to the remote data collection end through the signal transmitter and wireless network connector inside the collector body (4), then the rapid collection and transmission of water meter information can be completed.
