Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mounting brackets, and more specifically, to a novel water meter mounting bracket. Background Art

[0002] A water meter is an instrument for measuring water flow, most of which measure the cumulative flow of water. It is generally divided into two types: volumetric water meter and velocity water meter. When installing a water meter, you need to use a water meter mounting bracket. First, fix the water meter with the water meter mounting bracket, and then connect and fix the water meter to the connecting pipes at both ends.

[0003] Existing water meter mounting frames mostly use manual fixing of water meters, which have a relatively simple structure and are prone to causing the water meters to loosen. Since the installation environment of water meters is mostly dim and the visibility is poor, when checking the water meters, workers are often required to hold a lighting lamp in one hand and wipe the dust remaining on the water meter with the other hand, which increases the difficulty of the workers' work.

A clamping block 6 is rotatably installed at one end of the transmission rod 11 away from the rotating plate 10. The clamping block 6 is slidably installed in a through hole provided at the top of the base 1. The upper end of the clamping block 6 is in contact with the outer side of the water meter 2. The clamping block 6 moves linearly through the through hole limit, so that the clamping block 6 clamps and fixes the water meter 2.

[0030] Working principle: During installation, fit the base 1 to the wall, fix the side plate 101 to the wall with bolts, place the water meter 2 on the base 1, make the water meter 2 located inside the two clamping blocks 6, start the output end of the motor 8 to rotate forward through the external forward and reverse switch, the motor 8 drives the vertical rod 9 to rotate, the vertical rod 9 drives the rotating plate 10 to rotate, the rotating plate 10 drives the transmission rod 11 to rotate, the transmission rod 11 drives the two clamping blocks 6 to approach each other, so that the clamping blocks 6 fix the water meter 2, and at the same time the vertical rod 9 drives the bevel gear 1 12 to rotate, the bevel gear 1 12 drives the bevel gear 2 20 to rotate, the bevel gear 2 20 drives the connecting rod 19 to rotate, the connecting rod 19 drives the rotating rod 18 to rotate, the rotating rod 18 drives the guide block 1 7 rotates, the guide block 17 slides in the guide hole of the guide plate 16, driving the guide plate 16 to move upward, the guide plate 16 drives the fixing rod 15 to move upward, the fixing rod 15 drives the pressing plate 501 to move upward, and the sliding rod 13 and the fixing plate 14 are limited, so that the pressing plate 501 drives the cover plate 5 to rotate, and the cover plate 5 rotates and fits with the top of the water meter 2, thereby completing the dustproof operation of the water meter 2 after installation. When it is necessary to read the water meter 2, the output end of the motor 8 is reversed through the external forward and reverse switch, the cover plate 5 is opened, and the guide plate 16 conflicts with the press switch 21. The press switch 21 turns on the lamp 7, and the water meter 2 is illuminated by the lamp 7, which is convenient for disassembling or reading the water meter 2.
