Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a flow measurement device; more specifically, it relates to an Internet of Things gas meter that uses a central management computer to perform centralized / decentralized management, charging and control of decentralized gas supply terminals; the circuit in the device does not need to be powered during the gas supply process, and is only powered on instantaneously during each round of gas supply to perform Internet of Things charging management and open the valve installed in the device; and the Internet of Things gas meter that can work without power is not powered on and can automatically close the valve in the device when the gas supply conditions are not met. Background Art

[0002] At present, most of the known public electronic information charging diaphragm gas meters with management and control (commonly known as gas meters) are equipped with valves on the gas supply path in the mechanical gas meter. Most of the valves used are plug-type valves, and a small number of them are ceramic valves, pilot valves, etc., which are driven to open / close by micromotors and their mechanical reduction mechanisms; the opening / closing of the valves is controlled by the circuit superimposed on the mechanical gas meter and the electronic circuit with the central management computer for data exchange and communication functions. The control method of opening / closing can be decentralized, but more often it is a comprehensive control combining centralized and decentralized control. The electronic circuits on the gas meter include IC cards, smart IC cards and their card readers; some IC cards are contact IC cards, and some are contactless IC cards; some gas meters require wired communication lines to read, and the current trend is to use interactive wireless password communication technology; with the development of electronic technology and network technology, especially the use of Internet of Things technology, its security and practical application scope are being effectively improved. Therefore, for the dispersed physical terminal gas supply points such as the gas supply network, the decentralized / centralized management of the Internet of Things connected by objects should be the best application of electronic information technology at present. In terms of mechanical gas meters, the existing mechanical diaphragm gas meters at this stage mainly use diaphragm volumetric mechanical detection and measurement methods to detect the gas volume passing through the gas meter, and use mechanical digital rollers (character wheels) or digital indicators on the top of the gears to display instantaneous flow and cumulative flow readings. Mechanical diaphragm gas meters have stable and reliable detection and metering capabilities, and the technology is mature. The non-electrical quantity electrical measurement technology of electronic information charging gas meters is to superimpose non-electrical quantity electrical measurement devices on the mechanical gas meter. For example, a magnet is installed on a rotating metering gear, and the magnet passes over a magnetically sensitive reed switch or a magnetically sensitive semiconductor Hall element to obtain an electronic pulse signal; or a light source is converted into a light pulse digital coding signal or an infrared light source is converted into a corresponding electronic digital coding signal through mechanical rotation, thereby converting the gas flow signal passing through the mechanical gas meter into electronic pulse digital information through such electromechanical conversion (also known as analog / digital conversion or A / D conversion in electronic technology), thereby obtaining an electronic reading of the flow of the mechanical gas meter and accumulating it into a cumulative flow reading. The gas meter circuit transmits flow information to the central management computer through wired or radio communication networks and the Internet of Things. The central management computer manages the user's information, collects gas fees based on corresponding management conditions and policy requirements (such as tiered gas prices, etc.), and then converts the electronic digital quantity of the collected gas fees into the analog quantity of gas supply (D / A conversion), and controls the valve in the gas meter to supply gas to the gas pipe.

[0003] From the above description, we can know that 1. The existing electronic information charging gas meter has mechanical data and electronic data of the gas volume, and has two kinds of metering readings, using electronic digital display of the gas volume, and mechanical character wheel display of the gas volume, and using two kinds of metering readings to realize electronic and mechanical dual control, and use such dual measurement for charging management. This method has major structural defects: there are two kinds of metering data, mechanical measurement and electronic measurement, and two kinds of measurement results! It is contrary to the legislative purpose of the Measurement Law and the "unified measurement standard" that people have generally understood since ancient times, and is an illegal measuring instrument! That is to say, daily gas supply, gas use and payment management are all electronic information data, and the measurement detection, transmission, control and display results are mechanical data, while electronic data is only an electronic pulse product in the process of mechanical detection and measurement; one gas use data has two different metering readings: the payment is based on the electronic pulse product, and the control of gas supply and use is also an electronic pulse product; and the electronic data may be inconsistent with the mechanical data in actual management. When the mechanical / electronic numbers are inconsistent, the gas supply and gas management department may take the larger reading as the standard, or the mechanical display data as the standard, or the electronic fee execution data as the standard, and the other data is only used as reference data! This industry-wide, large-scale violation of the fundamental legislative purpose of the National Measurement Law, "unified measurement standards", cannot exist for a long time and forever! 2. When a large power is required to drive the micro reduction motor to close the valve in the gas meter, if the configured power supply or auxiliary power supply (such as charging capacitor, etc.) is out of power, underpowered, or unable to supply large current due to various reasons, and cannot drive the gas meter motor to close the valve, it will inevitably lead to the loss of control of the electronic information gas meter; especially the ball valve has a high probability of losing control due to its inherent characteristics. 3. Existing electronic information gas meters must have a 24-hour uninterrupted power supply, even if it is only a very small power supply when the circuit is in a dormant state, but power supply is required to have an electronic metering pulse. If the power supply fails, metering, deduction, and valve closing cannot be achieved. If one or more of the functions fail, the management of the electronic gas meter will fail! However, even the world's best quality batteries currently have a certain sudden death failure rate during their normal service life; Summary of the invention

[0004] During the working process, the present invention is completely powered off during the entire gas supply process except for the instantaneous power-on when collecting gas fees. It also has the function of automatically shutting off the valve without power supply, that is, when the gas fee is not received or cannot be received, it is attacked and damaged, the circuit is out of power or lacks power, there is a mechanical failure, or a circuit failure, the valve will be automatically shut off without power to stop supplying gas! It realizes closed-loop feedback between gas fee input and gas supply output unconditionally! It is a special control function that automatically reverses and closes when the gas supply conditions are not met!

[0005] The present invention aims to develop an Internet of Things gas meter with a unified mechanical metering display. From the mechanical detection and metering of the flow of the mechanical gas meter, instantaneous flow display, metering value transmission, cumulative metering reading, metering management, charging and deduction, valve control, only one mechanical metering reading is used. The function of the Internet of Things electronic circuit is to charge, and meet the policy management requirements of the ladder gas price, etc.; the functions of mechanical detection, metering, and gas supply volume display belong to the mechanical gas meter; the functions of charging and controlling the Internet of Things management belong to the circuit; only when charging and deducting fees, the circuit is instantly powered on and works. When the gas fee that the user needs to pay cannot be received, the user is informed of the gas fee information through various information methods, such as sending text messages, WeChat, etc., without starting the circuit or powering on. The Internet of Things gas meter of the present invention continues to supply the gas volume that has paid the gas fee and then automatically closes the valve in the gas meter to stop supplying gas. Similarly, the various data, gas meter codes, numbers, user names, addresses, communication methods, population, gas prices, time, ladder prices, deduction accounts, etc. that exist in the existing charging management using centralized / decentralized management computers do not need to be changed. The gas meter circuit is only instantly powered on and works when charging. To achieve unified metering, single transmission and display of gas supply and consumption data, stable and reliable closed loop of charging and supplying gas, prevention of illegal non-destructive attacks, and the ability to shut off the valve inside the meter if there is no gas fee and no electricity, an IoT gas meter that can work without electricity should be developed to adapt to the current social, economic and technological development level.

[0006] The first problem solved by the present invention is that the illegality of mechanical and electronic dual metering and dual display metering is solved, and unified metering is realized; the metering result is displayed mechanically, and the charging result is displayed electronically! The present invention realizes that when the mechanical metering data meets a charging unit, a corresponding charging status will appear. Only after feedback confirms that the gas fee has been received, the next gas supply cycle will be generated; the gas supply data is transmitted and displayed in a single way, and the closed loop of charging and gas supply is stable and reliable. From the principle and structure, the dual metering root cause of electronic gas meters that violates the national measurement law in the whole industry and on a large scale is completely eliminated.

[0007] The second technical problem solved by the present invention is the problem of mechanical valves in IoT gas meters closing when there is no gas. The present invention installs a valve that automatically closes without electricity in the mechanical gas meter: in the process of opening the valve, the energy required to close the valve is stored in the displacement of the magnet or the deformation of the spring. If the next round of gas supply fees cannot be collected, or the circuit in the gas meter fails, there is no electricity, or there are various illegal non-destructive attacks, and the user does not install a battery power supply in good faith, the gas meter can continue to supply the amount of gas that has been charged without power supply, and then automatically close the valve in the gas meter. If the fee is not clearly received after the charging process is started, it is also regarded as a valve closing signal for closed-loop feedback.

[0008] The third technical problem that the present invention solves is that electronic gas meters work normally without electricity. At the current stage, electronic gas meters still have the problem that both internal and external battery power supplies fail, which results in normal mechanical metering of the gas meter, but electronic metering and conversion of mechanical analog data into electronic metering data (A / D conversion) do not work. Since the present invention abandons the electronic metering, A / D conversion and other links, this problem is completely solved.

[0009] The fourth technical problem solved by the present invention is that the metering detection, instantaneous flow rate and cumulative flow rate of the gas meter are all completed by the mechanical structure; the collection of gas fees is completed by the circuit, and the circuit starts the valve opening drive when the gas fee is received. If the circuit cannot collect the gas fee, it will confirm that the fee is in arrears and will not start the valve opening drive; the A / D conversion and D / A conversion in the electronic / mechanical metering instruments are completely eliminated; thereby realizing the full closed-loop management and control of gas fee collection and gas supply management, and realizing a highly reliable closed-loop payment exchange of electronic currency and physical goods.

[0010] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0011] Provide a solution: Install a valve that can be closed without electricity on the gas supply path of the mechanical gas meter! When there is no gas consumption, mechanical failure, circuit failure, or attack and damage, the valve can be automatically closed without electricity to stop gas! Superimpose the Internet of Things charging circuit on this mechanical gas meter, and use such a gas meter to invent an Internet of Things gas meter that meets the statutory requirements of the Measurement Law. The mechanical function of the gas meter is mechanical detection and measurement. During gas supply, the mechanical display is instantaneous measurement, and the mechanical display is cumulative measurement reading; the function of the superimposed Internet of Things electronic circuit is to power on communication, charge, and display the gas fee situation only when charging and deducting fees. Completely replace the current common analog / digital (A / D) conversion of mechanical measurement into electronic pulses! Power on when the user inquires about the gas supply and fee situation, and display the fee situation. In terms of electronic technology structure and usage methods, the combination of mechanical structure and electronic technology is used to the maximum extent to prevent various attacks and damages; realize the complete closed-loop payment exchange of electronic currency and physical goods of Internet of Things technology! Specifically, the Internet of Things gas meter will not be powered on when supplying or not supplying gas, and the circuit will only be powered on when charging; but it can also be powered on manually when the user inquires.Each gas meter is endowed with a unique code and QR code associated with the internal circuit and external mark by the IC circuit in the meter. Through various communication networks, Internet of Things information networks, IC card carrier information transmission, etc., information is exchanged with the central management computer, the central management computer function is maximized, and the circuit structure and function of the huge and scattered gas meter are simplified; the powerful database and management control function of the central management computer are used to collect and process gas supply charge information and send management instructions, and the gas supply is centrally managed, charged, and controlled; instant power-on operation is more conducive to the stable and reliable operation of the gas supply equipment itself, and effectively prevents external electronic attacks; the valve installed in the gas meter can be automatically closed when there is no gas and no electricity, and the management and control are more reliable; the structure is simpler, the number of parts is smaller, and the whole machine works more reliably; a complete closed-loop payment exchange between electronic currency and physical goods is achieved: that is, the output gas supply volume is instantly powered on to start the charging process in the middle of the gas supply, and the result (charging success or failure) is output and fed back to the input end, and after charging verification, metering detection, value transmission, process management, real-time control, the decision to continue gas supply (start) is made. If the charging is unsuccessful, the gas supply will continue to be completed without power supply and the valve will be automatically closed, and then the charging procedure will be restarted (automatically or manually), and the charging will be successful, and a new round of gas supply will be started; if the charging is unsuccessful, the valve will remain closed and the power will be turned off; thus achieving complete closed-loop control; the metering results show unified metering data: the input gas fee and the output gas supply are always exactly the same; an alarm can be given when the gas supply conditions are not met; in each round of charging and gas supply process, when the circuit is instantly powered on and meets the gas supply conditions, the motor in the meter is started to restore the control mechanism to the starting state of a new round of gas supply; a single mechanical digital display is only the result of executing an electronic digital instruction, and once the electronic instruction is executed and completed, it has the characteristic of being unconditionally forced to continue to be executed by the mechanical part and cannot be revoked; when various gas supply conditions are not met and gas cannot be supplied to users, as a special means to ensure gas supply and use for users, a special button is set to prepay the overdraft gas fee, or a conditional circuit opening button is used to provide an emergency gas supply management mechanism; the Internet of Things gas meter solution combining centralized charging management control with decentralized management control is successfully implemented.

[0012] The main invention methods or ideas of the technical solution are:

[0013] A valve (5) is installed on the gas supply passage (53) of the mechanical gas meter (50) so that the valve can be automatically closed even when there is no electricity when the gas fee is not received, the gas meter is attacked, the battery is out of power or the circuit fails, or the mechanical failure requires the valve to be closed to stop the gas supply; the original stable state of the valve (5) is that it is automatically in a closed state when not controlled; in the process of opening the valve (5), the driving arm (83) of the micro-reduction motor (19) drives the control arm (13) to rotate, and the magnet 1 (11) on the control arm (13) that has not rotated to the respective midlines above the magnetic slide valve (9) during the rotation and the magnetic slide valve (9) repel each other with the same polarity, and the magnet 2 (12) on the control arm (13) attracts each other with the opposite polarity of the magnetic slide valve (9) through the mechanical gas meter housing (51). , providing kinetic energy for the control arm (13) to rotate in the valve closing direction, so that when the valve (5) is opened, the energy required for closing the valve (5) is stored in the relative displacement of the magnet 1 (11), the magnet 2 (12) and the magnetic slide valve (9); the internal structure of the valve (5) is composed of a valve body (6), a rubber bowl (7), a lever (8), a magnetic slide valve (9), a support rod (27) and a slide valve (32); the rubber bowl (7) is provided with a pilot hole (28), a drain hole (29) and an ear (30); a cloth curtain (54) is provided inside the wall of the rubber bowl (7) as a reinforcing rib, and a reinforcing plate (31) for increasing the compressive strength is fixed in the double-layer interlayer at the bottom of the cloth curtain (54), and a guide rod (35) is provided on the reinforcing plate (31). ) is fixed with the double-layer cloth curtain (54) by a reinforcing strip (71); the outer structure of the valve (5) is composed of a valve frame (10), a control arm (13), a drive arm (83), a micro-reduction motor (19), and a valve bracket (63); wherein the control arm (13) is equipped with a magnet 1 (11) with inverted magnetic poles, a magnet 2 (12), a spring clamp 1 (15), a spring 1 (88), a spring clamp 3 (17), a spring 3 (90), and a power-off action rod (20); the drive arm (83) acts on a switch K2 (26) installed on the mechanical gas meter housing (51) through the power-off action rod (20); the metering gear set (36) in the metering gear box (49) is connected to the metering gear box (49) through the transition gear (39) The counting and dosing wheel (64) is meshed and connected; the counting and dosing wheel (64) has a dosing shaft (65); the control notch 1 (66) on the dosing shaft (65) corresponds to the position of the spring clamp 1 (15) on the control arm (13); the control notch 3 (68) on the dosing shaft (65) corresponds to the position of the spring clamp 3 (17) on the control arm (13); a rotating shaft (21) is arranged in the fan-shaped groove (93) on the control arm (13); the fan-shaped groove (93) limits the driving range of the driving arm (83) on the control arm (13); the Internet of Things circuit board (1) in the upper shell (51) of the gas meter has corresponding interactive communication or password communication, data exchange, control, charging, and protocol management functions; and has a forced power-on awakening working function;The Internet of Things circuit board (1) has a power drive circuit capable of executing a valve opening (5) instruction and driving a micro-reduction motor (19); a different and unique gas meter code (62) or a two-dimensional code (91) is assigned to each gas meter on the IC card inside the circuit board (1), and corresponding storage information is stored; the gas meter has a communication method (60) for contacting the gas supply management party outside; the numbers displayed on the gas supply mechanical wheel (52) of each gas meter and the internal IC card information of each gas meter circuit board (1) correspond to the corresponding gas meter information and management content in the centralized management computer; the power-on bump (34) on the control arm (13) acts on the power-on switch K1 (25) installed on the mechanical gas meter housing (51), and the circuit board (1) is powered on. When the circuit board (1) charges and meets the gas supply conditions, the micro-reduction motor (19) is powered on and driven; pressing the emergency button (3) on the gas meter housing (80) can power on the circuit board (1) and start the circuit board (1) to work.

[0014] If the requirements of automatic reverse valve closing in case of failure, automatic valve closing during destructive attack, or automatic reverse valve closing in case of failure to charge normally are taken into consideration, a self-closing valve spring (48) is arranged above the leakage hole (29); the driving arm (83) of the micro reduction motor (19) drives the control arm (13); the magnet 2 (12) on the control arm (13) does not rotate to the respective center lines above the magnetic slide valve (9) separated by the mechanical gas meter housing (51) during rotation; the repulsive force of the magnet 2 (12) and the magnetic slide valve (9) provides kinetic energy for the control arm (13) to rotate in the valve closing direction; the magnetic slide valve (9) acts on the slide valve (32) for opening / closing the leakage hole (29) through the lever (8) and the self-closing valve spring (48), so that when the valve (5) is opened, the energy required for closing the valve (5) is stored in the relative displacement between the magnet 2 (12) and the magnetic slide valve (9) and the deformation of the self-closing valve spring (48) in compression.

[0015] The following is some explanation of the invention method or idea:

[0016] In this invention scheme, since the fee management of the present invention is a potential response signal of the mechanical switch closure, not a pulse signal, it will not disappear instantly. Only after confirming the receipt of the gas fee, the valve opening command is issued. The valve opening command will not be powered off and disappear after the valve opening task is completed, and there is no structure of repeated charging in one round of gas supply, so it is a completely reliable fee management. The quantitative shaft (65) on the counting quantitative wheel (64) led from the gas metering gear set (36), the control notch 1 (66), the control notch 3 (68) on the quantitative shaft (65) correspond to the spring clamping knife 1 (15) and the spring clamping knife 3 (17) one by one. The magnet 1 (11) rotates to the top of the magnetic slide valve (9), not to the top that completely overlaps, but to the top that is less than the center line of the two magnets, so that the repulsive force of the magnetic slide valve (9) and the magnet 1 (11) and the attractive force of the magnet 2 (12) will point to the valve closing direction. One point worth mentioning is that in actual use of the Internet of Things gas meter that can work without electricity, since the user has paid or stored enough gas fees, or the gas supply management party has set a sufficient advance gas quota, in each round of gas supply (for example, set to 1 cubic meter), a gas fee collection-driving-recovery to the initial state of a new round of gas supply will be generated when the gas supply reaches about half a cubic meter. This process is only the spring clamp 1 (15) retracting "bending" through the quantitative shaft (65), and the movement distance is only about a few millimeters.

[0017] As for adding a self-closing valve spring (48) above the slide valve (32) in the inner structure of the valve (5), only one magnet 2 (12) can be used on the control arm; when the magnet 2 (12) rotates to the top of the magnetic slide valve (9), it is not completely overlapped, but just above the center line of the two magnets, so that the repulsive force between the magnet 2 (12) and the magnetic slide valve (9) points to the valve closing direction. Whether using one magnet 2 (12) or two magnets, magnet 1 (11) and magnet 2 (12), the inner structure of the valve (5) can be equipped with a self-closing valve spring (48).

[0018] The implementation of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This invention realizes the most basic legislative purpose of the measurement law: unified measurement standards and measurement display readings! It completely solves the major structural defects of dual measurement, dual display, and dual control in the existing mechanical / electronic metering gas meter. It may put an end to the current electronic information gas meter, which uses both mechanical and electronic measurement data in the same metering device, and the current large-scale illegal situation in the industry.

[0020] 2. The present invention realizes the off-line operation of household electrical instruments; breaks through the classic mode that the traditional non-electrical quantity electrical measurement technology must rely on uninterrupted power supply for normal metering operation; improves the stability and reliability of gas supply and metering.

[0021] 3. The built-in non-electric valve of the present invention can still close the valve when the gas fee has not been received, the gas meter circuit has no power or is out of power, or there is a mechanical failure, an electronic failure, or it is attacked and damaged, which greatly improves the quality and efficiency of management.

[0022] 4. The present invention realizes the closed-loop payment exchange of electronic currency and physical goods! Its input (payment of fees) and output (gas supply) have a completely corresponding control relationship, that is, the result of the output end is fed back to the input end to realize closed-loop automatic control. In the process of gas supply, the machine is powered on and the circuit is charged only when the gas fee is charged. If the gas fee cannot be collected, the gas is not cut off immediately. Instead, various information transmission methods such as alarms, text messages, charging software, WeChat, etc. are used to notify the payment of the gas fee, and the gas fee is continued to be paid. The valve is automatically closed stably without electricity. Once the electronic instruction is executed and completed, it has the property of being unconditionally and irrevocably forced to continue to be executed by the mechanical part, which is convenient for users to use and convenient for the maintenance and management of gas supply managers, unifying the interests of users and managers.

[0023] 5. The structure of charging a fee once for supplying a round of gas in the present invention conveniently meets the policy management requirements of tiered gas prices.

[0024] In short, the present invention proposes a good solution for the management of the gas supply Internet of Things, and provides powerful means of charging, controlling and executing the management of the non-electric Internet of Things in terms of equipment and technology; it solves the problem of illegal metering instruments of electronic data / mechanical data dual measurement, dual control and dual display that exist on a large scale in the current stage of gas supply pipelines throughout the industry.

[0035] The present invention is implemented as follows: in a mechanical gas meter, the gas flow through the gas meter is measured by mechanical detection of the rotating impeller of the gas meter or the volumetric metering box, and is transmitted in the metering gear box (49) through the gear of the metering gear set (36), and the metered value is displayed by a mechanical digital wheel (52) or a number with a direction indicator on the top of the gear to display the cumulative flow and instantaneous flow reading; in the gas flow metering value transmission wheel, an appropriate metering quantitative level is set, for example, a 15mm / 20mm diameter gas meter commonly used in households is set on a 0.1 cubic meter metering wheel, which serves as a counting quantitative wheel and is transmitted to a counting quantitative wheel (64) through a metering transition wheel (39). One rotation of this counting quantitative wheel (64) is 1 cubic meter of gas flow, which is used as the basic unit of charge for each round of gas supply.
