DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] 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.

[0023] See also Figure 1-6 The present invention provides a gas meter air tightness detection device: Embodiment 1: It includes a base 1, and a detection mechanism is arranged on the outside of the base 1. The detection mechanism includes an air box 2. The outer surface of the air box 2 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the base 1. Two air pipes 3 are connected to the inside of the air box 2. One end of the two air pipes 3 is used to connect to the connection end of the gas meter. An air pump 6 is arranged inside the air box 2. The model of the air pump 6 is PCF5015N, and it is electrically connected to the external control circuit. The output end of the air pump 6 is connected to one end of the air pipe 3 on one side. An electromagnetic valve 7 is arranged on the outside of the air pipe 3 on the other side. The electromagnetic valve 7 is electrically connected to the external control circuit and can control the air circulation inside the corresponding air pipe 3. A piezoresistive sensor 8 and a thermistor 9 are respectively arranged inside the air pipe 3 on the other side. The model of the piezoresistive sensor 8 is MS5534C, and it is electrically connected to the external control circuit with the thermistor 9. The use principle of the thermistor 9 is: when air flows, it will affect the temperature of the thermistor 9. The resistance of the thermistor 9 itself changes, so that the air flow is monitored through the current value of the thermistor 9 circuit. A partition 10 is fixedly connected to the inside of the air box 2. The partition 10 can divide the inside of the air box 2 into two parts to facilitate the flow of air in and out. The outer surface of the partition 10 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the air pump 6. A one-way valve 11 is penetrated and connected on one side of the inside of the air box 2. The one-way valve 11 can ensure the one-way outflow of air to avoid the influence of the outer diameter air on the air pressure detection. A filter 12 is fixedly connected to the body of the air box 2. The filter 12 can filter impurities in the outside air to avoid pollution and damage to the gas meter. The filter holes of the filter 12 are connected to the other side of the inside of the air box 2. A camera 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of the air box 2. The camera 13 is electrically connected to the control circuit, and can image the real-time digital corresponding to the roller of the gas meter and transmit it to the control circuit to facilitate the detection of its accuracy.

[0024] In this embodiment, when one end of the two air pipes 3 is respectively connected to the connection end of the gas meter, the air pump 6 pumps the outside air in a quantitative and constant pressure manner. The outside air enters one side of the interior of the air box 2 through the filtration of the filter 12, and enters the interior of the gas meter through the air pump 6 and one side of the air pipe 3, and enters the other side of the interior of the air box 2 through the other side of the air pipe 3, and then is discharged through the one-way valve 11. In this process, the air is compressed inside the gas meter by closing the solenoid valve 7, and then it is detected whether the gas meter is leaking and the degree of leakage is determined by the leakage value according to the monitoring data of the piezoresistive sensor 8. If there is no leakage, the solenoid valve 7 is opened to allow the air to circulate externally, and the air flow is monitored by the current value of the thermistor 9 circuit, and the gas meter roller numbers are imaged by the camera 13, and the accuracy of the gas meter is detected by comparing the two numbers.

When the gas meter is placed in the material trough 53, the abutment plate 551 supports the bottom of the gas meter to facilitate the clamping of the clamping plates 54 to approach each other. When the gas meter needs to be unloaded after inspection, the output end of the adjusting rod 556 retracts to drive the rack 555 to reset, so that the abutment plate 551 is reversed and reset and is longitudinally parallel to the clamping plate 54.
