Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of intelligent water meters, in particular to a dual-circulation intelligent water meter with a pressure sensor. Background Art

[0002] A water meter is a measuring instrument used to measure the flow of water through a closed pipe. By recording the flow of water, the water meter can provide metering data to the water supply department for the calculation of water charges, and also help users understand their water usage.

[0003] During the use of the water meter, the pressure of the transported water is monitored in real time through the sensor inside the water meter. During the monitoring process, as time goes by, impurities in the water (such as mud, rust, microorganisms, etc.) may adhere to the sensitive components of the pressure sensor. These impurities will change the sensing characteristics of the detection head on the pressure sensor, resulting in measurement errors. For this reason, we propose a dual-channel water meter with a pressure sensor. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a dual-channel water meter with a pressure sensor to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a dual-channel water meter with a pressure sensor, comprising a water meter body, on which a water inlet pipeline and a water return pipeline are arranged; and further comprising:

[0007] The water inlet pipeline and the water return pipeline are respectively installed with a first controllable valve and a second controllable valve for opening and closing control;

[0008] When the dual-circuit water meter is in use, when the water consumption reaches the preset value within the set time, the second controllable valve is kept closed to avoid dead water in the water inlet pipe. When no water is used within the set time, the second controllable valve is opened to circulate the water accumulated in the water inlet pipe to avoid dead water pollution.

[0009] The water meter body is provided with two sets of first and second meter cores for measuring the flow of the water inlet pipe and the water return pipe respectively;

[0010] The pressure sensor body includes a mounting seat for auxiliary positioning and installation and a detection rod for auxiliary detection.

[0011] The water meter body is provided with two sets of first and second meter cores for respectively measuring the flow of the water inlet pipeline and the water return pipeline. During the use of the water meter, when the faucet drips, the pressure in the water meter body decreases. When the pressure is lower than the preset threshold, the first controllable valve is opened to add water to the pipeline. When the pressure in the water meter body is higher than the preset threshold, a delay of n seconds is performed. If no new water flow is detected within n seconds, the first controllable valve is closed. If water flows, the timing is restarted after n seconds. If the pressure in the water meter body decreases for three consecutive times, it is determined to be a pipeline dripping or a user intentionally stealing water. An alarm message is sent and the first controllable valve is closed. After confirming that the water is manually released or has returned to normal, the valve is released to form a dripping or intentional water theft alarm function.

[0068] In this scheme: a dual-circulation intelligent water meter with a pressure sensor includes the following steps:

[0069] The water meter in the present application is provided with an inlet pipe and a return pipe to form a dual-circuit water meter. When the dual-circuit water meter is in use, the water inlet inlet 1021 of the water inlet pipe is connected to the water supply pipe of the direct drinking water network, and the water inlet outlet 1022 of the water inlet pipe is connected to the user's household water inlet pipe, and the return water inlet 1031 of the return water pipe is connected to the user's return water pipe, and the return water outlet 1032 is connected to the return water pipe of the direct drinking water network. After the connection of the water meter body 101 is completed, it can be used normally. When the setting When the water consumption reaches a preset value within a set time, the second controllable valve 108 can be kept closed. Due to the large water consumption, there will be no dead water problem in the water inlet pipeline. At the same time, when it is detected that the water has not been used for a long time or within a set time, the second controllable valve 108 is opened to circulate the water accumulated in the water inlet pipeline, effectively avoiding the pollution problem of dead water. At the same time, the water meter has a built-in first meter core 105 and a second meter core 106, and dual-pipeline differential measurement. Only when the water is used, the water inlet pipeline is closed. Metering starts only when a difference is generated in the actual water consumption of the user, and circulating water will not be metered and charged. This not only meets the need for accurate metering, but also solves the need for flowing living water for direct drinking water, meets the hygienic requirements of drinking water, and monitors and manages the user's water consumption and circulating water volume in real time and at a fixed point. During the use of the water meter, the pressure sensor body 2 is used to monitor the pressure inside the pipeline. When the faucet or pipeline drips, the pressure in the water meter body 101 will slowly decrease. When the pressure is lower than the preset threshold, the first controllable valve 107 is opened to add water to the pipeline. When the pressure in the water meter body 101 is higher than the preset threshold, a delay of n seconds is performed. If no new water is detected within n seconds, the first controllable valve 107 is closed. If water flows, the timing is restarted after n seconds. If the pressure in the water meter body 101 is slowly reduced for three consecutive times, it is determined to be a pipeline dripping or a user intentionally stealing water, and an alarm message is sent and the first controllable valve 107 is closed, thereby forming a dripping or intentional water theft alarm function;

[0070] In the process of using the pressure sensor body 2 to monitor the pressure inside the pipeline in real time, as time goes by, impurities in the water will adhere to the detection head 203 of the pressure sensor detection rod 202. In order to avoid measurement errors in the pressure detection process, the detection head 203 is cleaned. During the cleaning process, the first controllable valve 107 is closed. After the closure is completed, the annular plate 4 is driven to rotate inside the annular cover 3 through the cooperation of the driving component and the first rotating component. During the rotation of the annular plate 4, the mounting frame 701 is driven to move synchronously through the connecting frame 702. During the movement of the mounting frame 701, the rotating shaft 1001 is driven to move synchronously. During the movement of the rotating shaft 1001, the third gear 1002 and the first gear ring 1003 are meshed with each other to drive the rotating shaft 1001 and the second gear 902 to rotate. During the rotation of the second gear 902, the second gear 902 and the first gear 901 are meshed with each other to drive the circular plate 704 to rotate inside the mounting sleeve 703. During the rotation of the circular plate 704, the connecting action of the telescopic assembly drives the operating rod 705 and the friction block 706 to rotate.

[0071] During the movement of the mounting frame 701, the operating rod 705 is driven to rotate around the lower end of the detection rod 202 while rotating by the connection between the mounting sleeve 703, the circular plate 704 and the telescopic assembly. During the movement of the operating rod 705, the conical surface 707 of the operating rod 705 is abutted against the end of the detection head 203. During the abutment process, the operating rod 705 is pushed to contract toward the circular plate 704. As the operating rod 705 continues to move, the friction block 706 on the operating rod 705 is abutted against the lower side of the detection head 203 (see FIG. 2 ). Figure 8 ), through the rotation of the operating rod 705 and the friction block 706 and the abutment between the friction block 706 and the lower end of the detection head 203, the front end of the detection head 203 is cleaned, and in the process of cleaning, the elastic force of the telescopic component on the operating rod 705 after the contraction movement is pushed, so that the friction block 706 on the operating rod 705 maintains a certain pressure and abuts against the front end of the detection head 203, thereby avoiding the gap between the detection head 203 and the friction block 706 due to the retractability of the detection head 203 itself during the cleaning process, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the detection head 203, and through the effective cleaning of the detection head 203, it is convenient for the pressure sensor body 2 to accurately measure the internal pressure of the water meter pipeline, and after the cleaning is completed, the second controllable valve 108 is opened to return the internal water contaminated during the cleaning process to the return water pipeline and return it to the direct drinking water equipment for treatment to avoid direct drinking.
