Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water meter boxes, and specifically proposes a detachable modular water meter box. Background Art

[0003] At present, the existing water meter box only has a box body and a box cover. When connecting multiple water meters with water inlet pipes and water outlet pipes, the water meters are manually connected to the water inlet pipes and water outlet pipes on both sides one by one. However, such a water meter box has the following problems: 1. When in use, the two ends of the water meter need to be tightly connected to the water inlet pipes and water outlet pipes on both sides one by one, which is time-consuming and laborious, resulting in the problem of low connection efficiency between the water meter and the water inlet pipes and water outlet pipes on both sides; 2. The existing water meter box is not provided with a structure to support the water meter. The water meter completely relies on the connection between itself and the water inlet pipes and water outlet pipes at both ends to support its weight. Under the action of external forces such as water flow impact and pipeline vibration, the water meter is prone to shaking or displacement during operation, and has poor stability. In addition, the water meter may cause reduced sealing of the connection part at the shaking frequency, resulting in water leakage. Summary of the invention

[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0037] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0038] See also Figure 1 A detachable modular water meter box includes a box body 1, a front cover 10, a fixing portion 6 and a plurality of supporting and positioning portions 5. A plurality of guide rails 2 are installed on the inner wall of the rear side of the box body 1, and a mounting frame 3 is connected to the plurality of guide rails 2 for horizontal sliding connection. One side wall of the box body 1 is provided with mounting holes 4 evenly arranged from top to bottom, and a plug hole is provided on the bottom of the box body 1 away from the mounting hole 4. The plug hole is used to install a main water pipe, and the main water pipe is connected to a water supply main through the plug hole. The side wall of the main water pipe is connected with a water inlet pipe 9 which is connected with the main water pipe and arranged sequentially from top to bottom.
[0039] See also Figure 1 A plurality of supporting and positioning parts 5 are evenly arranged from top to bottom, and the supporting and positioning parts 5 are used to support and fix the water meter 8 and axially align the two ends of the water meter 8 with the water inlet pipe 9 and the water outlet pipe 90 respectively.
[0040] The number of the supporting and positioning parts 5 is consistent with the number of the water inlet pipes 9 and the water outlet pipes 90 , and the supporting and positioning parts 5 support the water meter 8 so that it is aligned with the axes of the water inlet pipes 9 and the water outlet pipes 90 on both sides.
[0041] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The supporting and positioning portion 5 includes a supporting cylinder 50 connected to the front of the mounting frame 3 for placing the water meter 8. The outer wall of the supporting cylinder 50 is equipped with two positioning components 51 symmetrically arranged along its axis. The two positioning components 51 respectively position the two ends of the water meter 8. The outer wall of the supporting cylinder 50 is also equipped with two guide boxes 52 located below the positioning components 51.
[0042] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fixing part 6 is slidably arranged on the mounting frame 3 up and down, and the fixing part 6 is used to move downward to integrally fix a plurality of water meters 8 on the corresponding supporting tube 50 .
[0043] Multiple water meters 8 are placed on the corresponding supporting tubes 50 in sequence. The positioning components 51 on both sides of the supporting tubes 50 are used to position and support the water inlet interface 80 and the water outlet interface 81 at both ends of the water meter 8, so that the axes of the water inlet interface 80 and the water outlet interface 81 can be quickly aligned with the axes of the water inlet pipe 9 and the water outlet pipe 90 on both sides thereof.
[0044] After the multiple water meters 8 are placed, the clamping portion 6 moves downward to press the multiple water meters 8 against the corresponding supporting tubes 50 , thereby achieving integrated fixation of the multiple water meters 8 .
[0045] In addition, the fixing portion 6 cooperates with a plurality of supporting and positioning portions 5 to support and fix the water meter 8, thereby preventing the water meter 8 from completely relying on its own connection with the water inlet pipe 9 and the water outlet pipe 90 to support its weight, causing shaking or displacement under the impact of water flow and external vibration, resulting in poor stability of the water meter 8. At the same time, it can also prevent the water meter 8 from loosening at the connection with the water inlet pipe 9 and the water outlet pipe 90 on both sides, thereby preventing water leakage.
[0046] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The positioning assembly 51 includes a support seat 511 with an upper opening installed on the side wall of the supporting tube 50 through a tilting block 510. The support seat 511 supports and positions the water inlet interface 80 or the water outlet interface 81 of the water meter 8. The two vertical sections of the support seat 511 are arranged in an inverted eight-shaped shape to facilitate the water inlet interface 80 or the water outlet interface 81 of the water meter 8 to be placed in the corresponding support seat 511.
[0047] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 A plurality of guide rails 2 are slidably connected together with horizontally symmetrically arranged supporting and traction parts 7, the supporting and traction parts 7 are detachably connected to the corresponding guide boxes 52, and the two supporting and traction parts 7 are respectively used to support the water inlet pipe 9 and the water outlet pipe 90 and position the axis.
[0048] Install the water outlet pipe 90 on the mounting hole 4, and connect the end of the water outlet pipe 90 away from the water meter 8 to the user's water pipe (not shown in the figure), and the end of the water outlet pipe 90 is clamped on the supporting and traction part 7 on the side of the water outlet interface 81. Put the main water pipe into the box body 1, match the water inlet pipe 9 with the water meter 8 one by one, and then move the main water pipe downward, and clamp the water inlet pipe 9 on the supporting and traction part 7 on the side of the water inlet interface 80. The water inlet pipe 9 and the water outlet pipe 90 are aligned with the axis of the two ends of the water meter 8 under the support of the two supporting and traction parts 7, so that the water inlet pipe 9, the water meter 8 and the water outlet pipe 90 are all supported, so as to facilitate the alignment connection of the water inlet pipe 9, the water meter 8 and the water outlet pipe 90.
[0049] Afterwards, the mounting frame 3 is first used in conjunction with the supporting and positioning parts 5 to drive the water meters 8 to move toward the water inlet pipe 9 at the same time, until the water inlet interface 80 of the water meter 8 is tightly pressed against the water inlet pipe 9, and then the mounting frame 3 and the inner wall of the box body 1 are locked by a locking assembly 53; then, the supporting and traction part 7 located on the side of the water outlet interface 81 drives the water outlet pipe 90 to be tightly pressed against the water outlet interface 81 of the water meter 8, and finally, the water inlet pipe 9 is connected to the water inlet interface 80 and the water outlet pipe 90 is connected to the water outlet interface 81 through the threaded connecting sleeves on the water outlet pipe 90 and the water inlet pipe 9, respectively.
[0050] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The clamping portion 6 includes a limiting slide groove 60 evenly arranged from top to bottom and opened on the front end surface of the mounting frame 3. The mounting frame 3 is also provided with a guide groove connected with multiple limiting slide grooves 60. A lifting plate 61 that slides up and down is installed on the guide groove. A connecting plate 62 corresponding to the limiting slide groove 60 is installed on the lifting plate 61. The connecting plate 62 passes through the limiting slide groove 60 and is installed with a clamping ring 63. After the lifting plate 61 is lifted and moved, the upper end thereof is locked with the upper end of the guide groove by a limiting member 64.
[0051] Two upper and lower threaded holes that cooperate with the limiter 64 are provided on the side surface near the upper end of the guide groove. After the water meter 8 is placed in the corresponding supporting tube 50, the limiter 64 is removed from the threaded hole on the upper side, and then the lifting plate 61 is moved downward to drive the connecting plate 62 and the clamping ring 63 to move downward, so that the clamping ring 63 is sleeved on the water meter 8 and the water meter 8 is pressed against the supporting tube 50. At this time, the limiter 64 (such as screws, screws, etc. that can be threadedly matched with the threaded hole) is inserted into the lower threaded hole and threadedly connected to the threaded hole, thereby locking the clamping ring 63 in position.
[0052] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6The supporting and traction part 7 includes a sliding plate 70 horizontally slidably connected to a plurality of guide rails 2, and movable guide members 71 are installed on the sliding plate 70, which are evenly arranged from top to bottom and correspond one to one with the supporting tubes 50. The movable guide members 71 are detachably slidably connected to the guide box 52, and the movable guide members 71 are used to align the axes of the corresponding water inlet pipes 9, water outlet pipes 90, and water meter 8 and pull the water outlet pipes 90 toward the water meter 8.
[0053] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The movable guide member 71 is composed of an L-shaped frame 710 whose horizontal section is slidably inserted on the guide box 52 and an arc-shaped bracket 711 installed on the top of the vertical section of the L-shaped frame 710. The arc-shaped bracket 711 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 70, and the L-shaped frame 710 is detachably slidably connected to the guide box 52, so as to facilitate the packaging and transportation of the supporting traction part 7 and the multiple supporting positioning parts 5 on the mounting frame 3, as well as the subsequent assembly and connection.
[0054] The water inlet pipe 9 and the water outlet pipe 90 are respectively clamped on the corresponding arc bracket 711 of the supporting traction part 7. The arc bracket 711 supports the corresponding water inlet pipe 9 or water outlet pipe 90 and aligns the axes of the water inlet pipe 9, the water outlet pipe 90, the water inlet interface 80 and the water outlet interface 81.
[0055] After the water inlet pipe 9 is pressed against the water inlet interface 80, the sliding plate 70 located on the side of the water outlet interface 81 is moved. The sliding plate 70 pulls the water outlet pipe 90 toward the water outlet interface 81 through the arc bracket 711. At this time, the L-shaped frame 710 moves along the inner wall of the guide box 52 until the water outlet pipe 90 is pressed against the water outlet interface 81.
[0056] See also Figure 6 Arc-shaped clamping strips 712 are installed on the top of both ends of the arc-shaped bracket 711. The distance between the opposite surfaces of the two arc-shaped clamping strips 712 and one end of the arc-shaped bracket 711 is less than the diameter of the water outlet pipe 90. The arc-shaped clamping strip 712 is used to limit the water inlet pipe 9 or the water outlet pipe 90 on the arc-shaped bracket 711. The arc-shaped clamping strip 712 has a certain flexibility. When the water inlet pipe 9 or the water outlet pipe 90 moves downward, it enters the arc-shaped bracket 711 through the two arc-shaped clamping strips 712. The arc-shaped clamping strip 712 limits the water inlet pipe 9 or the water outlet pipe 90 to prevent the water inlet pipe 9 or the water outlet pipe 90 from tilting.
[0057] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The front side wall of the guide box 52 is provided with a vertical section of a T-slot 520 facing the supporting tube 50. The T-slot 520 is connected to the inner wall of the guide box 52, and the horizontal section of the T-slot 520 passes through one end of the guide box 52 away from the supporting tube 50. A limit block 521 is installed at the end of the horizontal section of the L-shaped frame 710.
[0058] When the guide box 52 and the L-shaped frame 710 are formed, the limit block 521 and the horizontal section of the L-shaped frame 710 are aligned with the T-shaped slot 520, and then the T-shaped formed by the limit block 521 and the horizontal section of the L-shaped frame 710 is inserted into the T-shaped slot 520, and the L-shaped frame 710 is pulled to move in the direction away from the vertical section of the T-shaped slot 520. The limit block 521 enters the guide box 52 and moves to align with the horizontal section of the T-shaped slot 520 to prevent the L-shaped frame 710 from moving longitudinally and separating from the guide box 52, thereby realizing the connection between the limit block 521, the horizontal section of the L-shaped frame 710 and the guide box 52.
[0059] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A matching locking component 2 72 is installed between the sliding plate 70 located on one side of the water outlet interface 81 of the water meter 8 and the mounting frame 3. The locking component 2 72 is used to lock the sliding plate 70 and the mounting frame 3 after the water outlet pipe 90 and the water outlet interface 81 are tightly pressed against each other. The sliding plate 70, the mounting frame 3, and the box body 1 are integrally fixed under the locking of the locking component 2 72 and the locking component 1 53, thereby improving the overall connection stability of the water inlet pipe 9, the water outlet pipe 90 and the water meter 8, and avoiding leakage at the connection between the water inlet pipe 9, the water outlet pipe 90 and the water meter 8.
[0060] See also Figure 3 The locking assembly 53 includes a connecting piece 530 symmetrically arranged up and down and installed on a side of the mounting frame 3 away from the mounting hole 4. The inner wall of the box body 1 is installed with a fixing column 531 corresponding to the connecting piece 530 one by one. The fixing column 531 is connected to the connecting piece 530 through a locking piece (such as a screw).
[0061] A connecting hole is provided on the connecting piece 530, and a locking hole is provided on the fixing column 531. An internal thread is provided in the locking hole. The mounting frame 3 cooperates with a plurality of supporting positioning parts 5 to drive a plurality of water meters 8 to move toward the water inlet pipe 9 at the same time. When the water inlet interface 80 of the water meter 8 is tightly pressed against the water inlet pipe 9, the locking piece passes through the connecting hole and is inserted into the locking hole. The connecting piece 530 is connected to the fixing column 531 through the cooperation of the locking piece and the connecting hole, and the mounting frame 3 is locked on the box body 1, so as to facilitate manual connection of the water inlet interface 80 and the water inlet pipe 9 later.
[0062] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The locking assembly 72 includes two connecting members 720 symmetrically arranged up and down and installed on the opposite surfaces of the sliding plate 70 and the mounting frame 3. The opposite sections of the two horizontally opposite connecting members 720 are provided with connecting holes. After the sliding plate 70 drives the water outlet pipe 90 to press against the water outlet interface 81 through the arc bracket 711 connected thereto, the corresponding two connecting members 720 are connected by matching with the corresponding two connecting holes through the locking member 721.
[0063] The locking member 721 is a bolt and a nut; when the water outlet pipe 90 is tightened against the water outlet interface 81, the two corresponding connecting members 720 are connected by bolts and nuts, and the sliding plate 70, the mounting frame 3, and the box body 1 are integrated and fixed under the locking of the locking component 2 72 and the locking component 1 53, thereby improving the overall connection stability of the water inlet pipe 9, the water outlet pipe 90 and the water meter 8, and avoiding leakage at the connection between the water inlet pipe 9, the water outlet pipe 90 and the water meter 8.
[0064] The mounting frame 3 and the multiple supporting positioning parts 5 installed thereon are module one, and the two supporting traction parts 7 are two modules two. During installation, the two modules two are first installed on module one through the detachable cooperation of the guide box 52 and the movable guide member 71, and then uniformly slidably connected to the guide rail 2.
[0065] See also Figure 1-Figure 6 The installation steps of the water meter 8, the water inlet pipe 9 and the water outlet pipe 90 in the box body 1 are as follows: the first step is to place multiple water meters 8 on the corresponding supporting tubes 50 in sequence. The positioning components 51 on both sides of the supporting tube 50 are used to position and support the water inlet interface 80 and the water outlet interface 81 at both ends of the water meter 8. After the multiple water meters 8 are placed, the clamping part 6 moves downward to press the multiple water meters 8 against the corresponding supporting tubes 50, thereby realizing the integrated fixation of the multiple water meters 8.
[0066] In the second step, the water inlet pipe 9 and the water outlet pipe 90 are respectively clamped on the corresponding arc-shaped bracket 711 of the supporting traction part 7. The arc-shaped bracket 711 supports the corresponding water inlet pipe 9 or water outlet pipe 90, and aligns the axes of the water inlet pipe 9, the water outlet pipe 90, the water inlet interface 80, and the water outlet interface 81.
[0067] In the third step, the mounting frame 3 cooperates with the supporting positioning parts 5 to drive the water meters 8 to move toward the water inlet pipe 9 at the same time, until the water inlet interface 80 of the water meter 8 is tightly against the water inlet pipe 9, and the mounting frame 3 is locked with the inner wall of the box body 1 by a locking assembly 53.
[0068] In the fourth step, after the water inlet pipe 9 is pressed against the water inlet interface 80, move the sliding plate 70 located on the water outlet side of the water meter 8. The sliding plate 70 pulls the water outlet pipe 90 toward the water outlet interface 81 of the water meter 8 through the arc bracket 711.
