[0002] In northern China, because the surface temperature is low in winter, the water in the water meter will freeze at night, causing the glass of the water meter to break and damage the water meter. Therefore, water meters in the north are installed in underground wells by digging deeper underground wells to insulate the water meters and prevent them from being damaged. However, the water seepage prevention effect of some underground wells is poor.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second", etc. can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0034] It should also be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the same figure mark is used to represent the same component or the same part.

[0035] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic meter reading device for use in a water well to solve the problems existing in the prior art. The cleaning and photographing actions can be completed in the same state without adjusting the position state of the device.

[0036] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The present embodiment provides an automatic meter-checking device for a water well, comprising a supporting assembly, a first telescopic mechanism 6, a cleaning assembly 7 and a photographing assembly 8; the fixed end of the first telescopic mechanism 6 is fixedly connected to the supporting assembly, and the movable end of the first telescopic mechanism 6 is provided with the cleaning assembly 7 and the photographing assembly 8; the cleaning assembly 7 comprises a nozzle 15, and the nozzle 15 is arranged around the photographing assembly 8.

[0038] By setting the cleaning component 7 and the shooting component 8 at the active end of the first telescopic mechanism 6, and setting the first telescopic mechanism 6 on the support component, when in use, the meter reader places the support component above the water well to be read, and the first telescopic mechanism 6 extends into the water well. After it is in place, the surrounding nozzle 15 is used to spray cleaning liquid to fully flush and clean the water meter, which can effectively ensure the cleaning effect; after the cleaning is completed, the shooting component 8 surrounded by the nozzle 15 in the middle can directly shoot the water meter, and there is no need to change the position of the device to adjust the angle of the shooting component 8 to make it face the water meter, because when the nozzle 15 is used to clean the water meter, it faces the water meter, and the shooting component 8 set in the middle of the nozzle 15 naturally faces the water meter. The meter reader does not need to make a secondary adjustment to the device during the entire operation, the operation is simple, and the cleaning effect can be achieved, which greatly reduces the workload and difficulty of the meter reader.

[0039] Specifically, the cleaning assembly 7 further comprises a water tank 1, a water pump and a delivery pipeline, wherein the delivery pipeline connects the water tank 1 and the nozzle 15, and the water pump is arranged on the delivery pipeline. The water tank 1 can be arranged on the support assembly or can be a separate assembly.

[0040] As a preferred solution of this embodiment, the cleaning assembly 7 also includes a bracket assembly for fixing the nozzle 15, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bracket assembly includes a connecting rod mechanism and a second telescopic mechanism 17, and the connecting rod mechanism includes a first connecting rod 13 and a second connecting rod 14, and multiple groups of connecting rod mechanisms are arranged around the second telescopic mechanism 17. The fixed end of the second telescopic mechanism 17 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the first telescopic mechanism 6, one end of the first connecting rod 13 is hinged to the movable end of the first telescopic mechanism 6, the other end of the first connecting rod 13 is hinged to one end of the second connecting rod 14, and the other end of the second connecting rod 14 is hinged to the movable end of the second telescopic mechanism 17. The nozzle 15 is arranged on the second connecting rod 14, and the shooting assembly 8 is arranged at the end of the movable end of the second telescopic mechanism 17. Furthermore, a protective plate 16 for protecting the shooting assembly 8 is arranged at one end of the second connecting rod 14 close to the shooting assembly 8, and the protective plate 16 is arranged at an angle with the second connecting rod 14.

[0041] When cleaning, the second telescopic mechanism 17 is retracted, and at this time, the first connecting rod 13 and the second connecting rod 14 form an angle, and the second connecting rod 14 is close to a horizontal state. The bracket assembly as a whole is in an expanded state similar to an octopus (a few claws if the unit connecting rod mechanism is set), and the nozzle 15 set on the second connecting rod 14 faces the bottom of the first telescopic mechanism 6, that is, the direction of the water meter. The expanded bracket assembly greatly increases the coverage area of ​​the nozzle 15. The reason for this setting is that the visibility in the underground well is extremely low, and the water meter may be set at any position directly below the opened manhole cover. By increasing the coverage area of ​​the nozzle 15 as much as possible, it can be ensured that a sufficiently large area directly below the manhole cover is sprayed and cleaned, and the probability of adjusting the position is minimized.

[0042] At this time, the second connecting rod 14 is in a nearly horizontal state, and the guard plate 16 at one end of the second connecting rod 14 close to the shooting component 8 is set at an angle to the second connecting rod 14. At this time, the guard plate 16 is in a nearly vertical state. Multiple guard plates 16 in a nearly vertical state surround the middle shooting component 8 to form a protective state, thereby preventing the liquid sprayed from the nozzle 15 from splashing onto the shooting component 8.

[0043] After the cleaning work is completed, the second telescopic mechanism 17 is extended, and the shooting assembly 8 arranged at the movable end of the second telescopic mechanism 17 is sent out. At the same time, the connecting rod assembly formed by the first connecting rod 13 and the second connecting rod 14 is straightened, and the second connecting rod 14 is in a nearly vertical state. At this time, the guard plate 16 is in a nearly horizontal state, that is, the guard plate 16 blocking the surrounding of the shooting assembly 8 is dispersed to avoid blocking the shooting angle of the shooting assembly 8. In addition, since the connecting rod assembly formed by the first connecting rod 13 and the second connecting rod 14 is straightened, the bracket assembly as a whole shrinks from an octopus-like unfolded state to a slender state, so that the overall diameter of the bracket assembly is reduced. In the process of the first telescopic mechanism 6 extending and shrinking, the smaller diameter can avoid interference with other surrounding components, such as the clearance hole opened in the middle of the mounting frame 5 mentioned below for the first telescopic mechanism 6, the cleaning assembly and the shooting assembly to pass through.

[0044] Furthermore, a turntable 18 is rotatably provided at the movable end of the first telescopic mechanism 6, and the cleaning component 7 and the shooting component 8 are both provided on the turntable 18; a first driving mechanism 19 is provided inside the movable end of the first telescopic mechanism 6 to drive the turntable 18 to rotate, and the output end of the first driving mechanism 19 is in transmission connection with the turntable 18. By arranging the cleaning component 7 and the shooting component 8 on the rotatable turntable 18, on the one hand, the up-down direction of the shooting component 8 can be automatically adjusted to align with the water meter when needed, and on the other hand, the static spray of the cleaning component 7 can be changed to dynamic spray, thereby further improving the cleaning effect.

[0045] As a preferred solution of this embodiment, the support assembly includes a body 2, and the water pump of the cleaning assembly 7 can be arranged above the body 2. A first cavity 21 for accommodating the first telescopic mechanism 6 is opened on the lower surface of the body 2, and the fixed end of the first telescopic mechanism 6 is arranged in the first cavity 21, and the movable end of the first telescopic mechanism 6 can extend downward from the first cavity 21. When not in operation, the first telescopic mechanism 6, the cleaning assembly 7 and the shooting assembly 8 are all retracted into the first cavity 21 for easy storage.

[0046] A walking mechanism is provided on the lower surface of the body 2, and the walking mechanism includes a walking wheel 4 and a second driving mechanism 3 for driving the walking wheel 4 to rotate. The second driving mechanism 3 is connected to the walking wheel 4 in a transmission manner, and at least three walking wheels 4 are arranged around the first cavity 21 to maintain the overall balance of the device. The driving mechanism can use the existing technology to achieve one-to-many transmission with the transmission wheel, or directly use multiple driving mechanisms to drive one-to-one with the transmission wheel to achieve multi-wheel drive, so that the device can travel and turn more flexibly, and a steering wheel that can steer itself can also be used, and one steering wheel corresponds to two driving mechanisms, one of which controls travel and the other controls steering.

[0047] Furthermore, in order to save the workload of the meter reader in lifting and moving the manhole cover, a manhole cover moving assembly is also provided under the body 2, and the manhole cover moving assembly includes a mounting frame 5 and a third telescopic mechanism 12, wherein an electromagnet is provided inside the mounting frame 5, and the mounting frame 5 is installed at the movable end of the third telescopic mechanism 12, and the fixed end of the third telescopic mechanism 12 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the body 2. Specifically, a third cavity 20 for accommodating the mounting frame 5 and the third telescopic mechanism 12 is provided under the body 2, and the third cavity 20 is connected to the first cavity 21. In essence, the third cavity 20 is an extension of the first cavity 21. The fixed end of the third telescopic mechanism 12 is provided in the third cavity 20, and the movable end of the third telescopic mechanism 12 can extend downward from the third cavity 20.

[0048] After the meter reading device moves to the top of the underground manhole cover to be read, the movable end of the third telescopic mechanism 12 extends, so that the mounting frame 5 is close to or directly in contact with the manhole cover, and the electromagnet is activated to adsorb the manhole cover. In this embodiment, a load sensor is also provided to dynamically determine whether the electromagnet adsorbs the manhole cover. After the adsorption is completed, the movable end of the third telescopic mechanism 12 shrinks, lifts the manhole cover, and the walking mechanism is activated to move the manhole cover to the side.

[0049] Furthermore, in order to ensure smooth up and down movement of the mounting frame 5, a guide rod 11 is also provided in the third cavity 20. The guide rod 11 includes an inner rod and an outer rod that are slidably connected to each other. One of the inner rod and the outer rod is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting frame 5, and the other is fixedly connected to the top wall of the third cavity 20.

[0050] The above solution is for manhole covers made of ferromagnetic materials. If the manhole cover is made of non-ferromagnetic materials, the mounting frame 5 is also provided with a hook 10 for hanging the manhole cover bracket. Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the upper surface of the mounting frame 5 is provided with a fourth telescopic mechanism 22, the lower surface of the mounting frame 5 is provided with a second cavity 9, the movable end of the fourth telescopic mechanism 22 penetrates the mounting frame 5 and extends into the second cavity 9, a hook 10 is provided in the second cavity 9, one end of the hook 10 is provided with a bending structure 23, the middle part of the hook 10 is hinged to the side wall of the second cavity 9, and the other end of the hook 10 is hinged to the movable end of the fourth telescopic mechanism 22. In the non-working state, the movable end of the fourth telescopic mechanism 22 is extended, so that the hook 10 is in a horizontal state and is completely accommodated in the second cavity 9. During operation, the meter-checking device moves to the top of the underground manhole cover to be read, and aligns the position of the hook 10 with the hole of the manhole cover. The movable end of the third telescopic mechanism 12 extends to make the mounting frame 5 close to or directly contact the manhole cover. The movable end of the fourth telescopic mechanism 22 contracts to make the hook 10 stand upright. The bending structure 23 of the hook 10 passes through the hole of the manhole cover and is located under the manhole cover. After the hook 10 is in place, the movable end of the third mechanism contracts to lift the manhole cover, and the walking mechanism is started to move the manhole cover to the side.

[0051] As a preferred solution of this embodiment, a control module and a position identification module are also provided on the support assembly, and the position identification module, the first telescopic mechanism 6, the cleaning assembly 7 and the shooting assembly 8 are all connected to the control module by signal.

[0052] Specifically, according to the working order, the following are connected to the control module signal:

[0053] ① Position recognition module: The recognition and positioning of the manhole cover of the underground well to be read is realized by the top camera 24 set on the body 2 and the position recognition module. The position recognition module is installed with recognition software, such as the mature and classic Yolov5AI model, with multiple versions of Tensorflow and Pytorch, which can run normally on PC-level, Nvidia's Nano and other platforms, and domestic RK3568 / 3588. The body 2 is also equipped with a laser radar for sensing the surrounding environment, and the laser radar is also connected to the control module signal.

[0054] The position recognition module recognizes the position information of the manhole cover based on the image information collected by the top camera 24. The coordinates (x, y) of the manhole cover recognized by the camera on the imaging plane correspond to a ray L emitted from the imaging origin in the real world. Combined with the ground surface scanned by the laser radar, the intersection point of the ray L and the surface is the coordinate position of the manhole cover in the real world.

[0055] ② The second driving mechanism 3 of the walking mechanism: After the control module receives the position information identified by the position recognition module, it controls the second driving mechanism 3 to drive the walking mechanism, driving the device to move toward the target point until it is above the manhole cover, and then adaptively adjusts the position based on the image obtained by the shooting component 8 and the recognition software of the position recognition module.

[0056] ③ The third telescopic mechanism 12, electromagnet, load sensor and fourth telescopic mechanism 22 of the manhole cover moving assembly: After the devices are in place, the control module controls the manhole cover moving assembly to open and carry the manhole cover.

[0057] ④ The first telescopic mechanism 6: After the sewage in the underground well is pumped away by professional equipment, the device moves back to the wellhead, and the control module controls the first telescopic mechanism 6 to go deeper into the underground well.

[0058] ⑤ The water pump and the second telescopic mechanism 17 of the cleaning component 7: After they are in place, the control module controls the second telescopic mechanism 17 to retract, the bracket component unfolds into an octopus state, the water pump is turned on, and spray cleaning begins. After cleaning is completed, the second telescopic mechanism 17 extends, the bracket assembly retracts, and the shooting component 8 is sent out at the same time.

[0059] ⑥ Shooting component 8: The control module controls the shooting component 8 to shoot and transmits the shot image back to the control module.

[0060] Furthermore, the body 2 is also provided with a display screen 25 for reading data and image information.
