Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of instruments, and in particular to an instrument with a water discharge structure. Background Art
[0002] Instruments in pipelines are usually installed separately from drain valves on pipelines. Sometimes when it is necessary to maintain an instrument, the water in nearby pipelines needs to be drained. For example, when inspecting equipment and instruments in a heat exchange station, it is usually necessary to open the drain valve on the pipeline to drain the hot water or accumulated debris in the pipeline, and then maintain the instrument on the pipeline.
[0003] However, in actual application, in order to facilitate maintenance operations by maintenance personnel, the drain valve is generally installed at the low point of the pipeline, and the pipeline direction in the heat exchange station is usually complicated. When the drain valve cannot discharge sewage, it cannot guarantee that the accumulated water or deposits inside the pipeline where the instrument is located have been cleared, and thus it cannot guarantee that the pipeline is in an empty pipe state. If the instrument is maintained at this time, it is easy for the water in the pipeline to leak out, affecting the safe use of other electronic equipment, and if the leaked water pressure is high, it will also affect the safety of the maintenance personnel. In addition, when maintaining the instrument, it is necessary to open and close the drain valve, which not only has a large discharge volume, but also has a cumbersome process, a large workload, and low efficiency. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0030] The embodiment of the present application discloses a meter with a water discharge structure.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The meter includes a meter body 1 and a drainage structure 2. A cylindrical drainage hole 11 is opened at the bottom of the meter body 1. The drainage structure 2 is installed at the bottom of the meter body 1, and the drainage structure 2 is used to block the drainage hole 11 and make the accumulated water in the meter body 1 flow out through the drainage hole 11 and the drainage structure 2.
[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drainage structure 2 includes a drainage cover 21, a sealing gasket 22, a center rod 23, a drainage block 24 and a drainage ball valve 25.
[0033] A water drainage area 211 is formed inside the water drainage cover 21, an external thread is formed on the outer wall of the water drainage cover 21, an internal thread is formed at the bottom edge of the water drainage hole 11 on the meter body 1, and the external thread of the water drainage cover 21 is threadedly connected with the internal thread on the meter body 1. A first groove 12 is formed on the top end surface of the end of the water drainage cover 21 close to the water drainage hole 11, and a sealing gasket 22 is placed in the first groove 12. The sealing gasket 22 is used to seal between the meter body 1 and the water drainage cover 21.
[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A first thread 231 is formed on the outer surface of the center rod 23 , and an internal thread is formed inside the drain cover 21 . The center rod 23 is threadedly connected to the internal thread inside the drain cover 21 through the first thread 231 .
[0035] The drain block 24 is installed and fixed on one end of the center rod 23 close to the meter body 1. The drain block 24 is cylindrical. The diameter of the drain block 24 is the same as the diameter of the drain hole 11. In actual use, the drain block 24 and the drain hole 11 can be matched with a gap. The drain block 24 is used to block the drain hole 11 and extend into the meter body 1 so that the accumulated water can flow into the drain cover 21.
[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drain ball valve 25 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the side end of the drain cover 21, and the drain ball valve 25 is connected to the drain area 211 inside the drain cover 21. Specifically, the drain ball valve 25 can be set at a 45-degree angle to the central axis of the drain cover 21.
[0037] In order to improve the sealing effect between the drain block 24 and the meter body 1, a first groove 12 is opened on the inner surface of the drain hole 11 of the meter body 1, and a first O-ring 13 is embedded in the first groove 12. When in use, the first O-ring 13 seals between the meter body 1 and the drain block 24.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In order to improve the stability of the center rod 23 on the drain cover 21, the center rod 23 is threadedly connected with a first locking nut 26 and a second locking nut 27, both of which are threadedly connected to the first thread 231, and both of which are located on the side of the drain cover 21 away from the meter body 1. When in use, the first locking nut 26 is pressed against the drain cover 21, and the second locking nut 27 is pressed against the first locking nut 26.
[0039] At the same time, in order to make it more convenient for maintenance personnel to rotate the central rod 23, a clamping portion 232 is formed on the end of the central rod 23 away from the drain block 24, and a rotating handle 28 is clamped on the clamping portion 232. The outer wall of the rotating handle 28 is formed with anti-slip grooves. In addition, a second thread 233 is formed on the central rod 23. The second thread 233 is located at the end of the clamping portion 232 on the central rod 23 away from the first thread 231. The second thread 233 is threadedly connected with a third locking nut 29. When in use, the third locking nut 29 is tightly pressed against the rotating handle 28.
[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In order to reduce the influence of the drain block 24 on the water flow in the meter body 1, the end face of the drain block 24 away from the center rod 23 is a curved surface 241 which is the same as the inner wall of the meter body 1, and a positioning hole 234 for indicating the position of the drain block 24 is opened on the center rod 23. When in use, the position and height of the drain block 24 at the drain hole 11 are adjusted by rotating the center rod 23. When the positioning hole 234 reaches the drain cover 21, the center rod 23 is stopped from being screwed. At this time, the curved surface 241 on the drain block 24 becomes a part of the curved surface 241 of the inner wall of the meter body 1, thereby reducing the influence of the drain block 24 on the water flow in the meter body 1.
[0041] In order to improve the sealing between the center rod 23 and the drain cover 21, a second groove 212 is opened on the inner wall of the drain cover 21, and a second O-ring 213 is embedded in the second groove 212. A light rod portion 235 is formed on the center rod 23, and the second O-ring 213 seals between the drain cover 21 and the light rod portion 235.
[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In order to prevent the accumulated water discharged from the drain ball valve 25 from falling on other electronic equipment, a hose 30 is connected to the water outlet of the drain ball valve 25. One end of the hose 30 is sleeved on the drain ball valve 25, and the other end of the hose 30 can be directed to the ground or other water containers such as buckets or basins.
[0043] When the meter needs maintenance, the second locking nut 27 and the first locking nut 26 are screwed and loosened in sequence, and then the rotating handle 28 is screwed to move the center rod 23 upward on the drain cover 21. If the torque required to screw the rotating handle 28 is large, it means that the water pressure in the meter body 1 is large. At this time, it is not easy to forcibly screw the rotating handle 28. It is necessary to check whether the water in the pipe section where the meter is located is closed. If the rotating handle 28 can be easily screwed, after screwing for a distance, open the drain ball valve 25 to allow the accumulated water in the meter body 1 to flow out through the drain cover 21 and the drain ball valve 25. After the drain ball valve 25 no longer discharges water, the meter can be maintained.
[0044] After the maintenance is completed, close the drain ball valve 25, then rotate the handle 28 in the opposite direction to move the center rod 23 up and down on the drain cover 21, and observe the position of the positioning hole 234. When the positioning hole 234 is exposed from the drain cover 21, stop rotating the handle 28, and tighten the first locking nut 26 and the second locking nut 27 in turn.
[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
