Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of ultrasonic water meters, and in particular relates to a shell structure of an ultrasonic water meter. Background Art
[0002] Ultrasonic water meter is a water meter that uses ultrasonic sensing technology to measure water flow. It uses a non-contact measurement method to calculate water flow by emitting ultrasonic signals and measuring the time required for the signal to be reflected from the water flow and the water flow velocity. It has the advantages of high measurement accuracy and small error, and has strong adaptability and stability. In addition, since ultrasonic water meters do not require mechanical transmission structures, they also have a longer service life and less maintenance costs.
[0003] In order to facilitate assembly, the existing ultrasonic water meter shell is divided into two structures. After the internal electrical components are installed, the two parts of the shell are assembled. In order to ensure the waterproof sealing of the shell, sealant is used to seal the connection gaps of the shell. Although this method ensures the waterproof effect, it is not convenient for subsequent maintenance work. In addition, in order to protect the glass window in the shell, a hinged meter cover is provided on the outside of the glass mirror. In actual use, some ultrasonic water meters are installed in a vertical manner due to the limitation of the installation position. This will result in the meter cover being held by the reader when it is opened for reading. Otherwise, when the reader lets go, the meter cover will automatically close under the action of its own weight, which brings great inconvenience to the normal meter reading operation. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an ultrasonic water meter shell structure to solve the problem that the existing ultrasonic water meter shell uses sealant to seal the outer shell, which is not convenient for subsequent maintenance work, and the vertically installed water meter cover will automatically close under the action of its own weight.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the utility model adopts the following technical solution: an ultrasonic water meter shell structure, comprising a case base, the top cover of the case base is provided with a case cover body, the case cover body is connected to the case base by connecting screws, a glass window is bonded to the inner side of the case cover body, the top surface of the case cover body is rotatably connected to the cover by a connecting shaft, the bottom surface of the cover is provided with a snap-in block, the top surface of the case cover body is provided with a snap-in groove adapted to fit the snap-in block, the bottom edge of the case cover body is provided with an outer edge body, the inner wall of the outer edge body is fitted to the outer side surface of a sealing ring, the sealing ring is sleeved on the outer side of an inner edge body, and the inner edge body is provided on the top surface of the case base.
[0006] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the sealing ring can fully seal the connection between the case cover and the case base after being squeezed by the case cover. It is more convenient to disassemble than glue sealing and has better sealing than a flat gasket structure. The snap-fit groove can snap-fit the snap-fit block, thereby locking the position of the watch cover and preventing the watch cover from closing automatically under the action of gravity.
[0007] In order to effectively seal the connection between the case base and the case cover;
[0008] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: the cross-sectional shape of the sealing ring in the axial direction is a right-angled trapezoidal structure, the cross-sectional shape of the outer body in the axial direction is a right-angled trapezoidal structure, and the hypotenuses of the right-angled trapezoidal sections of the outer body and the sealing ring are the same.
[0009] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that during the tightening of the connecting screws, the case cover moves toward the case base, the outer edge body squeezes the side of the sealing ring, so that the sealing ring is pressed tightly against the case base, and at the same time, the inclined surface of the outer edge body is pressed tightly against the inclined surface of the sealing ring, thereby effectively sealing the connection between the case base and the case cover.
[0010] In order to facilitate the installation of the sealing ring;
[0011] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: the inner edge body is an annular block structure, and the inner edge body and the sealing ring are clearance-fitted.
[0012] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the sealing ring can be slidably sleeved on the outer side of the inner edge body from top to bottom, so that it can be easily installed and disassembled.
[0013] In order to ensure that the sealing ring plays an effective sealing role on the connection between the case base and the case cover;
[0014] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: the height of the outer edge body is not greater than the height of the sealing ring.
[0015] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the outer edge body can effectively contact and squeeze the sealing ring, so that the sealing ring is evenly squeezed and pressed against the outer edge body and the base of the case.
[0016] In order to ensure the stability of the connection between the case base and the case cover;
[0017] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: the edge of the watch case cover is provided with a plurality of upper connecting seats for plug-in connecting screws, and the edge of the watch case base is provided with a plurality of lower connecting seats for threaded connecting screws.
[0018] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that a plurality of connecting screws can be inserted into the lower connecting seat and the upper connecting seat to stably connect the watch case base and the watch case cover.
[0019] In order to lock the position of the watch cover conveniently and stably;
[0020] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: the number of the clamping grooves is two, and they are symmetrically arranged on the watch case cover with the axis of the connecting shaft as the symmetry axis.
[0021] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that after the clamping block is clamped on the inner side of the clamping groove, the position of the watch cover on the watch case cover can be stably locked.
[0022] In order to save effort in pushing the cover;
[0023] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: a push block is provided on the top surface of the watch cover.
[0024] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the operator's fingers can push out the raised push block, thereby pushing the table cover to rotate with less effort.
[0025] The parts not involved in the device are the same as those in the prior art or can be implemented by using the prior art. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
