TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water meters, and specifically discloses an Internet of Things water meter with pressure measurement function. BACKGROUND
[0002] The Internet of Things water meter is a new generation of water management equipment that combines Internet of Things technology and intelligent metering technology. Compared with traditional water meters, the Internet of Things water meter has the following advantages: remote meter reading is supported, avoiding manual door-to-door service, improving efficiency and reducing costs; users or management departments can be notified in a timely manner to reduce water resource waste; users can also check water consumption details at any time through a mobile phone APP or a web page to reasonably plan water consumption. However, the existing Internet of Things water meter still has the following problems in specific use:
[0003] 1. Although the existing Internet of Things water meter has a filtering mechanism, the filtering mechanism cannot be automatically cleaned, which causes impurities to adhere to the outer surface of the filter screen in the water pipe and then causes blockage. The accumulation of impurities narrows the water flow channel, and under the same flow, the water flow rate increases, which may cause the water meter to measure too fast, resulting in economic losses for users. Long-term blockage will also accelerate the aging of the pipeline and equipment, increase maintenance costs, and even cause the water meter to fail.
[0004] 2. The pipeline of the existing Internet of Things water meter does not have a pressure buffering effect. Pipeline pressure is a key parameter that reflects the health status of the water supply pipe. Long-term high-pressure operation of the pipeline will accelerate the aging of the pipeline, which may cause pipeline leakage, pipe explosion or equipment failure. In addition, when the pipeline is in a high-pressure state, it cannot be detected in time, which will cause the best period for pipeline maintenance to be missed, increasing maintenance costs.
