DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means a limitation on the utility model and its application or use. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the utility model. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0028] The utility model discloses a jig for extracting the upper cover of an electromagnetic water meter, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a bottom plate 2, two vertical plates 3 are fixed side by side at the upper end of the bottom plate, and a top plate 6 is connected to the upper ends of the two vertical plates, and a V-shaped slide groove 6.1 is provided in the top plate. An upper support plate 8 is connected above the top plate, and an inverted V-shaped slider 8.1 is provided at the lower end of the upper support plate, and the slider is slidably installed in the slide groove. A handwheel 10.1 is provided on the upper end surface of the front end of the upper support plate, and a screw rod 10.2 is fixedly connected in the handwheel, and the rod body of the screw rod is screwed into the plate body of the upper support plate, and a long nut 10.3 is screwed on the other end of the screw rod, and a clamp 12 that can pull the upper cover 18 on the water meter head upward and separate it from the meter head body 17 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the long nut, and the handwheel, the upper support plate, the screw rod and the long nut together constitute a lifting mechanism 10 that pulls the clamp together with the upper cover upward.

[0029] A lower support plate 4 is connected to the middle and lower parts of the two vertical plates, and a support plate 5 is fixedly installed at the front end of the lower support plate. The front end of the support plate is provided with a U-shaped opening 5.2. Figure 6 , 7As shown, when in use, the meter head body is placed on the upper end of the support plate, the meter head connecting pipe 21 is placed in the opening, and the water meter body 16 is placed on the lower end of the support plate. When the upper cover moves upward under the clamping of the clamp and the pulling force of the lifting mechanism, since the water meter body is blocked by the support plate, an opposite pulling force will naturally be formed at the connection between the upper cover and the meter head; since the connection between the upper cover and the meter head is only adhered together, the connection strength is much smaller than the connection strength of the meter head connecting pipe and the meter head, and the meter head connecting pipe and the water meter body, so when the pulling force is greater than the connection force between the upper cover and the meter head, the upper cover and the meter head can be separated.

[0030] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the clamp includes a cross-shaped bracket 12.2, four support rods 12.3 extending radially outward are evenly distributed around the bracket, and the free end of the support rod is provided with a boss 12.4 protruding downward. The lower end of the boss is provided with a radial groove 12.5, and a clamping claw 15 is connected to the groove by a pin 13. The clamping claw is provided with a long hole 15.2 arranged in a radial direction. The pin is installed in the long hole. The function of the long hole is to adjust the distance of the clamping claw relative to the center point of the bracket. The end of the pin is clamped by a shaft elastic retaining ring 14 to prevent the pin from slipping out of the through hole. The side surface of the lower part of the clamping claw is provided with a chuck 15.1 extending toward the center end of the bracket. The thickness of the chuck must ensure that it can penetrate into the gap between the clamping claw and the body of the meter head.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a limit column 7 is installed on the rear end face of the upper support plate, and the lower end of the limit column is exposed from the lower end face of the slider. Its function is that when the upper support plate slides to a certain distance toward the front end, the limit column will collide with the top plate, thereby preventing the upper support plate from slipping off the top plate due to excessive sliding distance.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, in order to prevent the upper cover from rotating when being removed and causing wear to the meter head and the water meter body, Figure 1 As shown, three limit grooves 5.1 are provided on the upper end surface of the support plate. When the meter head is placed on the support plate, the reinforcing ribs 22 protruding from the lower end of the meter head fall into the limit grooves. In order to make the protruding portion at the lower end of the meter head completely fall into the limit grooves, the depth of the limit grooves is slightly greater than the height of the protruding portion.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the upper support plate is provided with two vertically penetrating guide holes 8.2, in which guide sleeves 11 are fixed, and guide posts 9 are movably installed in the guide sleeves, and the lower ends of the guide posts are connected to the upper ends of the brackets.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 2As shown, a gasket 12.1 made of polyurethane material is installed at the contact position between the lower end of the bracket and the upper cover. The outer diameter of the gasket is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the upper cover to prevent the upper cover from being scratched by the bracket.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the clamping jaw is provided with an upwardly protruding stop 15.3 on the other side relative to the chuck. When the clamping jaw is subjected to pulling force, it will rotate. At this time, the inner side surface of the stop surface abuts against the outer end surface of the bracket to prevent the clamping jaw from further rotating, thereby further ensuring that the chuck at the front end of the clamping jaw can support the claw on the upper cover.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, in order to facilitate the movement of the extraction fixture and reduce the operator's work intensity, four universal wheels 1 are installed at the lower end of the base plate.

[0037] When using, first confirm whether the four clamps are located at the outermost side. If not, move the clamps to the outermost side by hand. Then place the water meter with the weld point 20 cut off on the support plate, ensure that the meter head body is close to the inside, and the reinforcing ribs at the lower end of the meter head body fall into the limit groove. At this time, rotate the handwheel clockwise to move the bracket together with the clamps downward, and stop rotating when the clamps reach the claws. Manually adjust the position of the upper support plate to ensure that the four clamps are evenly distributed around the upper cover; then push the four clamps inward to ensure that the clamps of the clamps are just inserted into the lower end of the clamps; when everything is ready, rotate the handwheel counterclockwise, and the four clamps that move upward can pull the upper cover out of the meter head body.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model.
