Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of water meter cases, and in particular relates to a stainless steel welded vertical water meter case. Background Art
[0002] A water meter is a device for measuring water flow. Traditional water meters are mostly made of cast iron or copper to obtain blanks, which are then CNC cut and surface treated to obtain the final product. After the movement is installed inside, it becomes a usable water meter. The accuracy of water meters is not high. Whether it is an iron or copper case, different degrees of material precipitation will occur during the use of the water meter, which will pollute the water source. The water meter industry has recommended the elimination of iron cases, and the market is gradually moving towards stainless steel cases.
[0003] At present, most mechanical meters on the market are casting products, and the materials are generally cast iron or copper. The stainless steel case is expensive and difficult to process. The inner ring, inlet and outlet pipe sections, etc. in the common stainless steel case are welded and fixed by general welding technology. In the welding process, most of them are separated by injection molding, and then welded. The overall welding workload is large, and it is easy to have undercuts, weld nodules, depressions and welding deformation, or surface pores and surface cracks, which make the water meter poorly formed and cause dripping and leakage. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that many problems occur during the welding process of the existing stainless steel water meter shell, resulting in poor forming of the water meter and the phenomenon of dripping and leaking.

[0006] As an improvement, the case shell is formed into an integral structure by multiple stretching of stainless steel plates. The interior of the case body is welded and fixed to the inner ring, and the inner ring is at the same height as the central axis of the valve body. A middle cover brace is welded to the outside of the top of the case body, and head fixing blocks are welded on both sides of the outside of the case body.
[0007] As an improvement, the valve body is a gold-cast structure as a whole, and the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe of the valve body located on the side away from the case body are located on the same axis, and the axis is arranged parallel to the axis of the case body.
[0008] As an improvement, the pipe plug is connected to one end of the valve body via a thread, and a sealing ring is provided between the pipe plug and the valve body.
[0009] As an improvement, the water inlet pipe and the valve body are an integrated structure, the water outlet pipe and the valve body are welded and fixed, and connecting sleeves are provided on the outer sides of the ends of the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe away from the valve body, wherein the water outlet pipe and the connecting sleeves are welded and fixed.
[0010] As an improvement, a first O-ring is provided between the polytetrafluoroethylene gasket, the regulating cavity and the sealing ring.
[0011] As an improvement, the valve body is provided with a shaft sleeve on the outer side of the valve stem, and a plurality of second O-rings are provided between the valve stem and the shaft sleeve.
[0012] As an improvement, one side of the sealing ring is connected to one side of the regulating chamber through a thread.
[0013] The advantages of the utility model compared with the prior art are:
[0014] The case of the vertical water meter is composed of an integrally formed shell, a stamped inner ring and a gold-cast integral valve body, which reduces the number of parts required to be welded during the installation process. At the same time, since the connection between the inner ring, the valve body, the water outlet pipe and the case body is basically annular, not only can the welding workload be reduced, but the annular welding method can also ensure the uniformity of the welding, thereby reducing the defects generated during the welding process and avoiding dripping and leakage of the water meter.
