TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water meters, more particularly to a vertical volumetric water meter. BACKGROUND

[0022] a vertical volumetric water meter, Referring to Figures 1 to 8 According to a preferred embodiment of the present application, a vertical volumetric water meter comprises a meter housing assembly 10 and a metering assembly 20.
[0023] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 the meter housing assembly 10 comprises a lower meter housing 101 having a water inlet passage 1011 and a water outlet passage 1012, one end of which is vertically arranged and the central axes of which coincide, and an upper meter housing 102 connected with the lower meter housing 101, the upper meter housing 102 having a through cavity 1021. In the embodiment, the outer side wall of one end of the upper meter housing 102 extends into the water outlet passage 1012 and is threadedly connected with the lower meter housing 101, the inner side of which has a first flow-through hole 1022 and a second flow-through hole 1023 located outside the first flow-through hole 1022, when the upper meter housing 102 is threadedly connected with the lower meter housing 101, the water inlet passage 1011 extends to the first flow-through hole 1022 near one end of the upper meter housing 102, and the water inlet passage 1011 is in communication with the first flow-through hole 1022, in addition, the two ends of the second flow-through hole 1023 are in communication with the through cavity 1021 and the water outlet passage 1012, respectively.
[0024] In addition, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the metering assembly 20 is arranged in the through cavity 1021, and comprises a connecting shell 201, a metering shell 202, a sliding swing piston 203, a baffle 204 and an output shaft 205. The connecting shell 201 has an inflow passage 2011. The metering shell 202 has a water inlet (not labeled in the figure), an annular cavity 2022 and a vertical cylinder 2023. The vertical cylinder 2023 has a transmission cavity 2024. The annular cavity 2022 is coaxially arranged with the transmission cavity 2024, and is located outside the transmission cavity 2024. A convex column 20241 is arranged in the center of the transmission cavity 2024. The baffle 204 separates one side of the annular cavity 2022. The sliding swing piston 203 slides along the baffle 204 while rotating in the circumferential direction around the convex column 20241. The sliding swing piston 203 is inscribed in the vertical cylinder 2023, and drives the output shaft 205 to rotate in the circumferential direction. The end of the connecting shell 201 away from the metering shell 202 extends into the other end of the first flow-through hole 1022, so that the water inlet passage 1011 communicates with the inflow passage 2011 through the first flow-through hole 1022.
[0025] In addition, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The metering assembly 20 further comprises an upper seat body 206. The upper seat body 206 is connected with the metering shell 202 and seals the annular cavity 2022. The output shaft 205 is rotatably arranged on the upper seat body 206, and extends into the transmission cavity 2024 at one end. The end of the output shaft 205 extending into the transmission cavity 2024 has an extension 2051. The center of the sliding swing piston 203 has a transmission column 2031. One end of the transmission column 2031 abuts against the side wall of the vertical cylinder 2023, and the other end of the transmission column 2031 abuts against the extension 2051. The upper seat body 206 has a water outlet, which communicates with the through cavity 1021.
[0026] In addition, as shown in Figure 1 The vertical volumetric water meter further comprises a counting structure 30 arranged at the end of the upper shell 102 away from the lower shell 101.
[0027] It is noted that after the external water source flows into the water inlet channel 1011, it flows into the inflow channel 2011 along the first flow-through hole 1022, and flows into the sliding swing piston 203 from the water inlet of the metering shell 202. It is noted that the sliding swing piston 203 is in a cylindrical shape and has a cavity with a predetermined capacity. As the water flow gradually fills the cavity of the sliding swing piston 203, the sliding swing piston 203 slides along the baffle 204, and the transmission column 2031 on the sliding swing piston 203 rotates circumferentially along the convex column 20241. Until the sliding swing piston 203 moves to the water outlet on the upper seat body 206, the water source flows out of the water outlet and into the through cavity 1021. After passing through the second flow-through hole 1023, it is discharged along the water outlet channel 1012. During the circumferential rotation of the transmission column 2031 relative to the convex column 20241, the other end of the transmission column 2031 pushes the extension 2051 and drives the output shaft 205 to rotate circumferentially. Because the output shaft 205 is provided with a magnet that cooperates with the counting structure 30, the rotation of the output shaft 205 will drive the shaft body on the counting structure 30 to rotate and make the counting disc change, realizing the reading.
[0028] Further, in order to reduce the flow of sediment into the cavity of the sliding swing piston 203, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the vertical volumetric water meter further comprises a filter assembly 40, which is arranged at one end of the inflow channel 2011 close to the metering shell 202. The filter assembly 40 comprises a first filter cylinder 401 and a filter cylinder assembly. The filter cylinder assembly is located outside the first filter cylinder 401 assembly. The first filter cylinder 401 has a first filter hole. The filter cylinder assembly comprises a second filter hole. The first filter hole and the second filter hole are arranged in a staggered manner and have an intersection. The filter cylinder assembly comprises a first half filter cylinder 402 and a second half filter cylinder 403. The first half filter cylinder 402 and the second half filter cylinder 403 are both slidingly arranged on one side of the metering shell 202 close to the connecting shell 201.
[0029] Need to explain, the first filter hole and the second filter hole aperture is greater than the predetermined size of the sand particle size, and when the first half filter cylinder 402 and the second half filter cylinder 403 are moving towards and splicing to form a cylinder and set outside the first filter cylinder 401, the first filter hole and the second filter hole are misaligned and there is a part of the intersection, and the size of this intersection area is smaller than the predetermined size of the sand particle size. It should be pointed out that the first half filter cylinder 402 and the second half filter cylinder 403 are normally attached to the first filter cylinder 401, so that the filter assembly 40 can intercept most of the sand particles. However, after long-term use, the first filter hole and the second filter hole intersection area hole is blocked, so that the water flow will be difficult to flow into the sliding piston 203 and make it work, affecting the normal use of the water meter, and in this application, by setting the filter assembly to the sliding first half filter cylinder 402 and the second half filter cylinder 403, when the first filter hole and the second filter hole intersection area hole is blocked more seriously, at this time the first half filter cylinder 402 and the second half filter cylinder 403 will be pushed and move away from each other under the action of water pressure, and away from the first filter cylinder 401, at this time, the sand originally retained between the first filter hole and the second filter hole intersection area hole can flow along the first filter hole and the second filter hole with larger aperture under the scouring of the water flow and flow to the water inlet, avoiding the risk of blocking the filter assembly 40 after long-term use.
[0030] Further, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 The vertical positive displacement water meter further comprises a screen cage 50, the mesh aperture of the screen cage 50 is smaller than the radial size of the first filter hole and the second filter hole intersection area, and the screen cage 50 has a containing cavity 501 and a plurality of necked openings 502.
[0031] Need to explain, when a part of the sand passes through the first filter hole and the second filter hole, a part of it will flow into the containing cavity 501 along the necked opening 502, and due to the overall fish cage structure of the screen cage 50, the sand entering the containing cavity 501 will be retained in the containing cavity 501 with a larger probability instead of being discharged from the necked opening 502. By setting the screen cage 50, the amount of sand flowing into the sliding piston 203 after passing through the first filter hole and the second filter hole is effectively reduced.
[0032] Further, in order to realize the sliding setting of the first half filter cylinder 402 and the second half filter cylinder 403 on the metering shell 202, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the first filter cartridge 401 is fixedly arranged on the metering shell 202, and the metering shell 202 is provided with two guide channels 2025 near one end of the connecting shell 201, and the first half filter cartridge 402 and the second half filter cartridge 403 are respectively slidably arranged in the two guide channels 2025, and the two guide channels 2025 are in communication with the inflow channel 2011, and the filter assembly 40 further comprises two first springs 404, one end of each first spring 404 is connected with the first half filter cartridge 402 or the second half filter cartridge 403, and the other end of the first spring 404 is connected with the wall surface of the corresponding guide channel 2025.
[0033] Further, in order to reduce the normal state, the sand is accumulated in the intersection area of the first filter hole and the second filter hole, and the hole, such as Figure 3 As shown, the vertical volumetric water meter further comprises a cleaning assembly 60, the cleaning assembly 60 comprises a rotating shaft 601 and a cleaning piece 602, the rotating shaft 601 is rotatably installed on the metering shell 202, and the cleaning piece 602 is arranged on the rotating shaft 601. It should be noted that, under normal circumstances, when the water flows through the filter cartridge assembly, the water flow drives the rotating shaft 601 to rotate circumferentially, and since the cleaning piece 602 is installed on the rotating shaft 601, the cleaning piece 602 also rotates circumferentially and cleans the inner wall of the first filter cartridge 401, thereby cleaning a part of the sand accumulated in the intersection area of the first filter hole and the second filter hole.
[0034] Further, since the rotating speed of the rotating shaft 601 is positively correlated with the water flow rate through the filter assembly 40, that is, the greater the water flow rate, the greater the rotating speed of the rotating shaft 601, which also makes the rotating speed of the rotating shaft 601 maximum when the intersection of the first filter hole and the second filter hole is not blocked or less blocked, and the rotating speed of the rotating shaft 601 minimum when the intersection of the first filter hole and the second filter hole is seriously blocked. This also means that the cleaning effect is best when cleaning is least needed, and the actual effect of the cleaning piece 602 is low when it is most needed.
[0035] Therefore, the side wall of the rotating shaft 601 has a guide column, and the cleaning piece 602 is slidably arranged on the guide column, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the cleaning assembly 60 further comprises a second spring 603 and a swing rod 604, two ends of the second spring 603 are respectively connected with the guide column and the cleaning piece 602, the cleaning piece 602 has a limiting groove 6021, one end of the swing rod 604 is rotatably connected with the rotating shaft 601, and the other end of the swing rod 604 has a limiting protrusion 6041, and the limiting protrusion 6041 extends into or out of the limiting groove 6021.
[0036] It should be noted that, assuming that the hole at the intersection of the first filter hole and the second filter hole is completely unblocked or slightly blocked at this time, the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 601 is the fastest, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 601 will drive the cleaning member 602 and the swing rod 604 to rotate in the circumferential direction and generate centrifugal force. It should be pointed out that the swing rod 604 rotates horizontally under the action of centrifugal force first, and causes the limiting protrusion 6041 to extend into the limiting groove 6021, and as the cleaning member 602 moves a predetermined distance away from the rotating shaft 601 under the action of centrifugal force, , the limiting protrusion 6041 abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove 6021 and limits the cleaning member 602 from moving further toward the inner wall of the first filter cartridge 401, that is, at this time, the cleaning member 602 does not clean the inner wall of the first filter cartridge 401, so that when the hole at the intersection of the first filter hole and the second filter hole is completely unblocked or slightly blocked, the cleaning member 602 does not clean the first filter cartridge 401, thereby avoiding the influence of the cleaning member 602 on the water flow rate due to cleaning the first filter cartridge 401; when the hole at the intersection of the first filter hole and the second filter hole is completely unblocked or slightly blocked, the cleaning member 602 does not clean the first filter cartridge 401. When the filter is partially blocked, the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 601 is reduced, and the swing rod 604 cannot make the limiting protrusion 6041 extend into the limiting groove 6021 under the action of centrifugal force. At the same time, the cleaning member 602 can still overcome the elastic force of the second spring 603 under the action of centrifugal force and move toward the inner wall of the first filter cartridge 401. At a certain moment, the bristles of the cleaning member 602 contact the inner wall of the first filter cartridge 401, so that the cleaning member 602 will not work and clean until the hole at the intersection of the first filter hole and the second filter hole is partially blocked. The sediment trapped in the holes at the intersection of the first filter hole and the second filter hole; and when the holes at the intersection of the first filter hole and the second filter hole are severely clogged, the centrifugal force of the rotating shaft 601 is no longer sufficient to make the cleaning member 602 contact the inner wall of the first filter cartridge 401, and the water pressure near the inner wall of the first filter cartridge 401 is large due to the blockage, so the water pressure applies a thrust in opposite directions to the first half filter cartridge 402 and the second half filter cartridge 403, and separates the first filter hole from the second filter hole, so that the sediment can pass through the first filter hole and the second filter hole. It is obvious that compared with the existing technology, the present application has the advantages of having a sediment prevention structure and being able to adaptively take selective cleaning or filter cartridge separation actions according to the actual blockage situation.
[0037] Furthermore, in order to realize that the rotating shaft 601 can rotate circumferentially under the action of water flow, as shown in FIG. Figure 3As shown, the cleaning assembly 60 further comprises a plurality of helical blades 6011 arranged in a ring array on the rotating shaft 601. When water flow impacts the helical blades 6011, the helical blades 6011 are subjected to a circumferential force, and the rotating shaft 601 is rotated circumferentially.
[0038] Further, in order to avoid water flow exerting force on the swing rod 604, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the cleaning assembly 60 further comprises a first waterproof shell 6012 and a second waterproof shell 6021. The first waterproof shell 6012 is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 601, and has a receiving hole 60121 through which the swing rod 604 passes. The second waterproof shell 6021 has a groove 60211 and is slidably sleeved on the first waterproof shell 6012, and the second waterproof shell 6021 is connected with the cleaning piece 602. The receiving hole 60121 has a notch groove on one side of the aperture, and the cleaning piece 602 has a cover plate 6022 on one end close to the rotating shaft 601, which is slidably arranged in the notch groove. When the cleaning piece 602 slides, the cover plate 6022 covers the aperture of the groove 60211.
[0039] It should be noted that the first waterproof shell 6012 and the second waterproof shell 6021 are used to cover the cleaning piece 602, so as to prevent water from flowing into the first waterproof shell 6012 and the second waterproof shell 6021.
[0040] Further, since the top surface or the bottom surface of the swing piston 203 is worn after long-term use, in order to reduce the leakage, the top of the swing piston 203 has a lifting annular groove, as shown in Figure 1 As shown, the metering assembly 20 further comprises a floating ring 207 which is liftably arranged in the lifting annular groove, and the top of the floating ring 207 is flush with the top surface of the swing piston 203.
[0041] In addition, as shown in Figure 1 The bottom of the lifting annular groove has a plurality of water inlet notches 2033.
[0042] It should be noted that when the top surface of the floating ring 207 is worn, the floating ring 207 is floated upward under the action of buoyancy, and the top surface of the floating ring 207 is attached to the bottom surface of the upper seat body 206. When water flows into the water inlet notches 2033, the floating ring 207 is further subjected to an upward force. By arranging the floating ring 207, the service life of the vertical volumetric water meter can be prolonged.
[0043] In summary, the vertical volumetric water meter based on the embodiment of the present application is illustrated, which provides the advantage of the vertical volumetric water meter with the anti-silt structure.
