DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0038] The following is combined with Figure 1-6 This application is described in further detail.
[0039] The embodiment of the present application discloses a water meter detection device.
[0040] A water meter detection device, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2, including a horizontally arranged frame 1, a water inlet pipe 2 is arranged at one end of the frame 1 in the length direction, a water outlet pipe 3 is fixedly arranged at the other end of the frame 1 in the length direction, the water inlet pipe 2 is slidably arranged along the length direction of the frame 1, a plurality of first installation pipes 4 for installing horizontal water meters are slidably arranged along the length direction of the frame 1, the first installation pipes 4 can be detachably connected to the frame 1, four flow meters 5 are connected in parallel at the water outlet pipe 3, the specifications of the four flow meters 5 are different and all are provided with switch valves, the water inlet pipe 2 slides along the setting direction of the first installation pipe 4 The first mounting pipe 4 is arranged on the frame 1, and the first mounting pipe 4 is detachably connected to each other. The frame 1 is also provided with a second mounting pipe 6 for installing a vertical water meter. The second mounting pipe 6 is arranged on the frame 1 along the height direction of the frame 1. A connecting component 7 is arranged at the second mounting pipe 6 closest to the water inlet pipe 2. The water inlet pipe 2 can be connected to or disconnected from the connecting component 7. The first mounting pipe 4 farthest from the water inlet pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the frame 1 and is connected to the water outlet pipe 3. The water inlet pipe 2 is connected to a water source. A recovery tank 16 for recovering water resources is connected to the water outlet pipe 3;
[0041] When testing a horizontal water meter, partially remove the first mounting tube 4, install the horizontal water meter to be tested between the first mounting tubes 4, drive the water inlet pipe 2 to connect and press against the first mounting tube 4, and then let water flow for testing; when testing a vertical water meter, drive the water inlet pipe 2 to separate from the first mounting tube 4 and connect to the second mounting tube 6, then install the vertical water meter in the second mounting tube 6, and then let water flow for measurement. While satisfying the need to share a water source with the horizontal water meter, there is no need to carry a separate vertical water meter testing device, thus saving time and effort.
[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connecting assembly 7 includes a first connecting pipe 701 connected to the second mounting pipe 6, a second connecting pipe 702 detachably connected to the first mounting pipe 4, and a connecting plate 703 arranged between the first connecting pipe 701 and the second connecting pipe 702. One end of the connecting plate 703 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first connecting pipe 701 by welding, and the other end of the connecting plate 703 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second connecting pipe 702 by welding. The second connecting pipe 702 is connected to the first mounting pipe 4 but not connected. When measuring the vertical water meter, the second connecting pipe 702 is first installed on the first mounting pipe 4, and then the water inlet pipe 2 is driven to slide and press against the first connecting pipe 701, so as to connect the first connecting pipe 701. At this time, since the second connecting pipe 702 is connected to the first mounting pipe 4, the first mounting pipe 4 generates a supporting force for the entire connecting assembly 7, thereby reducing the probability that the impact force of the water flow will flush the first connecting pipe 701 open and thus separate the first connecting pipe 701 from the water inlet pipe 2 when water is passed.
[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3There are a plurality of second mounting tubes 6, which are distributed along the setting direction of the first mounting tube 4. The plurality of second mounting tubes 6 are connected in an S-shape, which saves more space than arranging them in the vertical direction.

The movable part 6022 is provided with a notch for facilitating the installation of the vertical water meter. When installing the vertical water meter, it is only necessary to push the vertical water meter through the notch in the horizontal direction between the movable pipe 602 and the fixed pipe 601, and then drive the movable part 6022 to slide and tighten the vertical water meter.

[0045] Air is blown into the driving cylinder 801 through the blowing tube, thereby pushing the driving ring 802 to drive the water inlet pipe 2 to slide against the first mounting tube 4 or the second mounting tube 6, and the gas in the driving cylinder 801 is sucked out through the suction pipe, so that under the action of atmospheric pressure, the driving ring 802 drives the water inlet pipe 2 to slide away from the first mounting tube 4 or the first connecting tube 701, which is convenient and quick.

The mounting frame 12 is fixedly provided with the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 1503, and the lifting cylinder 1503 drives the mounting frame 12 to rise and fall in the vertical direction. The dual adjustment in the vertical direction and the width direction facilitates the camera 13 to monitor the water meter index to be measured.
