Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water meters, and in particular to an antifreeze type water meter. Background Art
[0002] A water meter is an instrument for measuring water flow, most of which measure the cumulative flow of water. It is generally divided into two categories: volumetric water meters and velocity water meters. The development of water meters has a history of nearly two hundred years. When selecting the specifications of a water meter, you should first estimate the size and range of the flow rate used under normal circumstances, and then choose the water meter with the specification that is closest to the commonly used flow rate as the first choice. Currently, residential buildings usually install velocity water meters, that is, water meters with impellers inside. In cold winter, water meters will be exposed to the outside world for a long time or in buildings with insufficient thermal insulation performance. The remaining water inside will freeze, causing blockage or even damage to the pipes and water meters.
[0003] At present, the antifreeze measures for water meters are usually to wrap the water meter and pipes with insulation materials, close windows and doors to prevent cold, turn on the faucet to drip water into a line, and empty the remaining water in the water meter and pipes at night. However, the materials wrapped around the water meter and pipes are not easy to disassemble and assemble, which will affect the normal use of the water meter. Other measures require daily operation, which is relatively cumbersome. Therefore, an antifreeze type water meter is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom ends of the two drainage control ball valves are fixedly installed with the same water tank cover, a drainage box is placed at the bottom of the water tank cover, locking buckle plates are rotatably installed on both sides of the water tank cover, and locking seats compatible with the locking buckle plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the drainage box.
[0008] Furthermore, a foam elastic sleeve is fixedly sleeved inside the drainage box.
[0009] Furthermore, a sealing knife gate valve connected to the interior of the thermal insulation shell is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the thermal insulation shell, and an exhaust pipe is fixedly mounted on one end of the sealing knife gate valve.
[0010] Furthermore, a sealing ring is fixedly installed inside the sealing cover plate, and the sealing ring is matched with the top of the heat-insulating shell. A plurality of sealing rubber blocks matched with the air holes are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sealing cover plate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The present invention locks the sealing cover plate on the heat-insulating shell to protect the water meter body from heat insulation, and at the same time, sequentially closes the water delivery control ball valves at the front and rear ends to reduce the residual water inside the water meter body and the water delivery pipe, effectively preventing the water meter body and its internal pipes from being damaged by freezing. When the water meter body is in a closed state, the dial of the water meter body can still be observed through the transparent plate on the sealing cover plate and the observation hole on the heat-insulating shell, without affecting the normal use of the water meter body. 2. The present invention sets a drainage pipe, so that after closing the water delivery control ball valves at the front and rear ends in sequence to reduce the residual water inside the water meter body and the water delivery pipe, the drainage control ball valves at the bottom of the two water delivery pipes can be opened to allow a small amount of rainwater remaining in the internal pipes of the water meter body and the water delivery pipe to be discharged through the drainage pipe and the drainage control ball valve, thereby ensuring that the water meter body and the water delivery pipe are emptied, further preventing the water meter body from being damaged or blocking the pipeline due to freezing, thereby affecting subsequent normal use; 3. The present invention sets a drainage box so that when the residual water is discharged through the drainage pipe and the drainage control ball valve, it will flow into the drainage box for collection, effectively preventing the residual water from flowing or dripping randomly and affecting the surrounding environment. At the same time, when there is a lot of water in the drainage box, the locking buckle plates on both sides can be rotated to disengage from the locking seat, thereby separating the locking seat from the water tank cover, clearing the water or ice accumulated in the drainage box, and completing the regular maintenance of the drainage box; 4. The present invention provides a foam elastic sleeve, so that when there is too much water in the drainage box, the temperature is low at night, and the remaining water accumulated in the drainage box freezes and expands in volume. At this time, the foam elastic sleeve sleeved inside the drainage box will automatically deform and compress under the pressure of ice, thereby providing sufficient margin space for the expansion of ice and preventing the drainage box from bursting; 5. The present invention provides a sealed knife gate valve, so that in areas with extremely low temperatures at night, after the thermal insulation shell is closed and the remaining water is discharged, a vacuum tool or device such as a vacuum cylinder or an air pump can be connected to one end of the vacuum pipe, and then the sealed knife gate valve is opened to extract most of the air inside the thermal insulation shell, and then the sealed knife gate valve is closed, thereby reducing the air content in the sealed cover plate and the internal space of the thermal insulation shell, thereby improving the thermal insulation performance of the thermal insulation shell and the sealed cover plate on the water meter body; 6. The present invention provides a sealing ring and a sealing rubber block, so that when the sealing cover plate is buckled on the top of the thermal insulation shell, the sealing ring will be synchronously sleeved on the top of the thermal insulation shell, and the elasticity of the sealing ring facilitates the sleeve connection between the sealing cover plate and the thermal insulation shell, so that the sealing cover plate and the thermal insulation shell are more closely matched, and the sealing rubber block will be respectively inserted into each vent hole. When the air inside the sealing cover plate and the thermal insulation shell is extracted, the sealing cover plate will be tightly adsorbed on the top of the thermal insulation shell with the help of the sealing ring and the sealing rubber block, effectively ensuring the sealing of the internal space of the thermal insulation shell; 7. The present invention provides a telescopic slide rod, so that the telescopic slide rod and the adapter tube are plugged and matched, so that the sealing cover plate can rotate around the adapter tube. When the temperature rises, the sealing cover plate can be reopened to connect the observation hole and the air vent on the top of the heat-insulating shell. The two control rods can also be moved to drive the two telescopic slide rods to retract into the double-head slide tube, so that the telescopic slide rod is separated from the adapter tube, and then the entire sealing cover plate is directly removed, reducing the space occupied by the sealing cover plate; 8. The present invention sets a first hanging plate and a second hanging plate so that when the seal is removed, the sealing cover plate can be buckled on the bottom of the heat-insulating shell, and the locking plate on one side of the sealing cover plate is clamped between the two elastic claws at the bottom of the second hanging plate. Then, the retracted telescopic slide rod and the double-head slide cylinder are clamped between the two storage inserts at the bottom of the first hanging plate. Then, the control rod is released to make the two telescopic slide rods respectively clamped into the inside of the two storage inserts, so that the sealing cover plate is hung and buckled on the bottom of the heat-insulating shell, and there is no need to store the sealing cover plate separately.

A plurality of threaded cylinders 10 are fixedly installed inside the fixing holes. Figure 2As shown, the positions of the plurality of threaded barrels 10 correspond to the positions of the plurality of assembly holes 801, respectively. A loading hole is provided on the top of the sealing cover plate 7, and an observation transparent plate 11 is fixedly installed inside the loading hole. The position of the observation transparent plate 11 corresponds to the position of the observation hole 501. Specifically, when the antifreeze type water meter is in use, if it is necessary to keep the water meter body 1 warm at night, the sealing cover plate 7 on one side of the insulation shell 5 can be turned over to the top of the insulation shell 5, so that the sealing cover plate 7 is buckled on the top of the insulation shell 5 for sealing.

By setting the sealing ring 21 and the sealing rubber block 22, when the sealing cover plate 7 is buckled on the top of the thermal insulation shell 5,The sealing ring 21 will be synchronously sleeved on the top of the heat-insulating shell 5, and the elasticity of the sealing ring 21 facilitates the sleeve connection of the sealing cover plate 7 and the heat-insulating shell 5, so that the sealing cover plate 7 and the heat-insulating shell 5 are more closely matched. At the same time, multiple sealing rubber blocks 22 will be respectively inserted into each ventilation hole 502. When the air inside the sealing cover plate 7 and the heat-insulating shell 5 is extracted, the sealing cover plate 7 will be tightly adsorbed on the top of the heat-insulating shell 5 with the help of the sealing ring 21 and the sealing rubber block 22, effectively ensuring the sealing of the internal space of the heat-insulating shell 5.
