Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a water meter, in particular to a multi-sensing ultrasonic water meter. Background Art

[0002] With the development of smart water services, water supply networks are no longer simply used for water metering, and water resource supervision and management have become a major problem for urban development. If water supply networks are not monitored in a timely manner, problems such as leakage, pipe bursts, and water pollution are prone to occur, which directly affects the quality of life of the people.

[0003] The current water supply network's metering, water quality, and pipe burst monitoring often consist of a variety of equipment. Metering is done by flow meters, water quality is tested by various water quality testing instruments, and burst pipe leaks are detected manually. This type of equipment can no longer meet the current development needs of smart water services, and it requires a lot of maintenance and is costly.

[0004] At the same time, large-caliber water meters are installed in poor environments, mostly in manholes, where the environment is humid and prone to flooding, which places higher demands on water meter protection. Because water meters are soaked in water for a long time and the acidity and alkalinity are unknown, the shell will age and the battery will leak, which will lead to water meter abnormalities. Therefore, the installation environment of the water meter must be monitored and checked in time to reduce failures. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies in the above-mentioned background technology and provide a multi-sensing ultrasonic water meter, which should be able to monitor pipe network and environmental data to extend the service life of the water meter.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is:

[0007] A multi-sensing ultrasonic water meter includes a collector and a measuring pipe section; the characteristics are: the collector includes a main control circuit board; the measuring pipe section is provided with a pipe network monitoring module; the collector is provided with an environmental monitoring module; the main control circuit board of the collector is electrically connected to the pipe network monitoring module and the environmental monitoring module.

[0008] The environmental monitoring module includes a temperature sensor and a water immersion sensor.

[0009] The pipe network monitoring module includes a water temperature sensor, a conductivity sensor, a pressure sensor, a hydroacoustic sensor, and a turbidity sensor.

[0010] The main control circuit board of the collector is electrically connected to the temperature sensor, the water immersion sensor, the water temperature sensor, the conductivity sensor, the pressure sensor, the hydroacoustic sensor, and the turbidity sensor.

[0011] The water immersion sensors are three probes arranged on the outer shell of the collector.

[0012] The probes are arranged in a triangle.

[0013] The collector comprises a housing, a main control circuit board, a battery, a transducer and a communication module.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] In order to solve the problem of insufficient pipe network monitoring, the utility model proposes a multi-sensing ultrasonic water meter, which can not only collect water supply data of the pipe network, but also collect water supply pipe network operation status data and surrounding environment monitoring data. All data are uploaded to an external remote platform through the water meter, which is helpful for background management, timely discovery and troubleshooting of hidden dangers, so as to reduce the occurrence of failures and extend the service life of the water meter.

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a multi-sensing ultrasonic water meter includes a collector 1, a measuring pipe section 2, a pipe network monitoring module, and an environmental monitoring module.

[0025] The measuring pipe section is connected to the water supply network, and the collector is installed on the measuring pipe section to measure the water consumption of the water supply network. The collector includes a housing 1.1, a main control circuit board 1.2, a battery, a transducer, and a communication module. The environmental monitoring module is arranged on the collector to obtain surrounding environment monitoring data. The pipe network monitoring module is arranged on the measuring pipe section to obtain the operating status data of the water supply network. The main control circuit board of the collector is electrically connected to the pipe network monitoring module and the environmental monitoring module.

[0026] The environment monitoring module includes a temperature sensor 3 and a water immersion sensor 4, and uses the water immersion sensor and the temperature sensor to monitor water immersion events and the environment temperature at the water meter installation location.

[0027] The temperature sensor and the water immersion sensor are fixed on the outer shell of the collector. The temperature sensor is used to monitor the ambient temperature around the water meter. The temperature sensor is installed on the outer shell through a threaded structure. The water immersion sensor is used to monitor whether the water meter is flooded.

[0028] The water sensor includes three probes, which are fixed to the side of the housing in a triangular shape, with one probe arranged at the top and two probes arranged at the bottom to avoid false triggering due to moisture or water droplets. A signal will be triggered when any two probes are connected. When all three probes are connected, it means that the water meter is completely immersed in water.

[0029] The pipe network monitoring module includes a water temperature sensor 5 , a conductivity sensor 6 , a pressure sensor 7 , a hydroacoustic sensor 8 , and a turbidity sensor 9 .

[0030] The water temperature sensor, conductivity sensor, pressure sensor, hydroacoustic sensor, and turbidity sensor are fixed on the measuring pipe section. Figure 2 As shown, the pressure sensor, hydroacoustic sensor and turbidity sensor are fixed on the wall of the measuring pipe section on both sides of the collector. The water temperature sensor and conductivity sensor are fixed on the wall of the measuring pipe section inside the collector.

[0031] The water temperature sensor is used to collect the water temperature of the water supply network. The conductivity sensor is used to collect the water quality conductivity of the water supply network. The pressure sensor is used to collect the water pressure of the water supply network. The hydroacoustic sensor is used to collect the water leakage of the water supply network around the water meter. The turbidity sensor is used to collect the turbidity of the water quality of the water supply network.

[0032] The water immersion sensor, temperature sensor, water temperature sensor, conductivity sensor, pressure sensor, hydroacoustic sensor and turbidity sensor are connected to the main control circuit board through wires.

[0033] The main control circuit board is provided with a single chip microcomputer, model MSP430F449. Each sensor is connected to the main control circuit board through a wire, and then connected to the IO port or AD analog port of the single chip microcomputer through the circuit of the main control circuit board.

[0034] The staff can directly read the data displayed on the water meter. The staff can exchange data by pointing the meter reader at the water meter to realize meter reading, parameter setting and equipment maintenance. The communication module of the water meter sends data to the external remote platform through wired or wireless means, and uploads the water consumption of the water supply network, the water supply network operation status data, and the surrounding environment monitoring data in a unified manner for easy background management.

[0035] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in this specification. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.
