It can be used to detect the operation of the automatic sprinkler fire extinguishing system and determine the area where the fire occurs.
[0003] In the prior art, for example, a Chinese patent discloses a water flow indicator with an alarm function, with announcement number CN214893497U. The water flow indicator rotates in the lock head according to the scale on the surface of the calibration panel. When the water flow indicator rotates, the main arm is driven by the linkage main rod to rotate. The main arm pushes the detection blade in the middle. When the detection blade is pushed to the specified stroke, it is determined whether to trigger the alarm to avoid consuming a large amount of water. The flange specifications of the water flow indicator are fixed, that is, the size of the flange of the water flow indicator needs to be compatible with the size of the water pipe in the pipe network. In actual situations, the specifications of the water pipes in the pipe network are different. In the face of pipelines of different sizes, water flow indicators of different specifications must be replaced to meet the requirements.

[0021] The following describes the specific implementation of the utility model in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can more clearly understand how to practice the utility model. Although the utility model is described in conjunction with its preferred specific embodiments, these embodiments are only illustrative, rather than limiting the scope of the utility model.
[0022] Specific embodiment 1: Please refer to Figure 1-5 A stainless steel water flow indicator comprises: a detection part 1, a first connecting head 2, a second connecting head 3, two tension bolts 4 and two sealing rings 5, wherein the detection part 1 is fixed between the first connecting head 2 and the second connecting head 3 by the tension bolts 4, wherein the first connecting head 2 and the second connecting head 3 have the same structure, when in use, the detection part 1 is installed on the pipeline by the first connecting head 2 and the second connecting head 3, in addition, the specification of the first connecting head 2 is changeable, and the first connecting head 2 is detachably connected to the detection part 1 as a replaceable component, when facing pipelines of different sizes, the corresponding pipeline can be connected by replacing the connecting head, and this design can improve the application range of the water flow indicator.
[0023] Specifically, the detection part 1 includes an indicator body 11, a base 12, a connecting tube 13 and a swinging piece 14. The base 12 is a tubular structure. The base 12 is fixedly arranged on the outer periphery of the connecting tube 13 by welding. At the same time, the inner space of the base 12 is communicated with the inner space of the connecting tube 13. The indicator body 11 is fixedly arranged on the base 12. The swinging piece 14 is arranged on the inner side of the connecting tube 13 and connected to the indicator body 11. The indicator body 11 is provided with sensing components such as a travel switch. When in use, the indicator body 11 is connected to the control center of the peripheral device through an electrical signal. When water flows through the connecting tube 13, the water flows and hits the swinging piece 14 to cause the swinging piece 14 to deviate. The swinging piece 14 pushes the travel switch inside the indicator body 11. The travel switch transmits an electrical signal to the control center to alarm its area.
[0024] Since the first connector 2 and the second connector 3 have the same structure, the first connector 2 is taken as an example for description: the first connector 2 is composed of a connecting plate 21, a flange pipe 22 and a flange 23, and the connecting plate 21 and the flange 23 are connected by the flange pipe 22, so that the first connector 2 becomes an integrated structure; in this embodiment, the first connector 2 is a replaceable component, and the size of the flange 23 is not limited. Therefore, in actual use, the size of the first connector 2, that is, the size of the flange 23, can be adjusted accordingly according to the size of the pipeline to adapt to the installation;
[0025] Furthermore, an annular groove 24 is provided on the inner circumference of the flange pipe 22, and the sealing ring 5 is installed in the annular groove 24; after assembly, the water inlet end of the connecting pipe 13 is at least partially embedded in the flange pipe of the first connecting head 2, and the water outlet end of the connecting pipe 13 is at least partially embedded in the flange pipe of the second connecting head 3, and the inner diameter of the flange pipe 22 is the same as the inner diameter of the connecting pipe 13 to make the interior of the water flow indicator smoother; after assembly, the flange plate of the first connecting head 2 and the flange plate of the second connecting head 3 are both far away from the detection part 1, while the connecting plate of the first connecting head 2 and the connecting plate of the second connecting head 3 are both far close to the detection part 1, and the connecting plate of the first connecting head 2 and the connecting plate of the second connecting head 3 are connected and fixed by tension bolts 4; the two tension bolts 4 are evenly distributed around the axis of the connecting pipe 13, and with the tightening of the tension bolts 4, the structure of the water flow indicator is more compact.
[0026] Through this technical solution, by detachably providing connecting heads for connecting pipelines on both sides of the water flow indicator detection part, the connecting heads serve as replaceable components. When faced with pipelines of different sizes, the connecting heads can be replaced to connect to the corresponding pipelines. This design can improve the application range of the water flow indicator.
[0027] Embodiment 2: Different from Embodiment 1, when the first connector 2 and the second connector 3 are installed at the two ends of the connecting pipe 13, they do not need to be connected and fixed by the tension bolts 4. For example, external threads can be provided on the outer periphery of both ends of the connecting pipe 13, and internal threads can be provided on the inner periphery of the flange pipe at the corresponding end. The external threads match the internal threads. The first connector 2 and the second connector 3 can also be fixedly installed at the two ends of the connecting pipe 13 by threaded connection. Compared with Embodiment 1, the advantage of such a setting is that it simplifies the structure of the water flow indicator, reduces the production cost, and also improves the assembly efficiency of the water flow indicator.
[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
