[0041] The technical solution of the utility model is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0042] Embodiment 1:

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a water supply meter with a monitoring function, including: a meter body 100, a water quality monitoring component, a controller 600 and a communication module 700.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the meter body 100 is provided with a water inlet pipe body 110 and a water outlet pipe body 120 . The water inlet pipe body 110 is used to be connected to a (water inlet) water supply pipe, and the water outlet pipe body 120 is used to be connected to a (water outlet) water supply pipe.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the water quality monitoring assembly includes: a water quality detection housing 200, a first water pipe 300, a second water pipe 400 and a water quality detection member 500. The first water pipe 300 connects the water inlet pipe body 110 and the water quality detection housing 200, and the first water pipe 300 is provided with a first switch valve 310. The second water pipe 400 connects the water outlet pipe body 120 and the water quality detection housing 200, and the second water pipe 400 is provided with a second switch valve 410. The water quality detection member 500 is arranged in the shell cavity of the water quality detection housing 200.

[0046] The controller 600 is disposed in the meter body 100 , and the controller 600 is electrically connected to the water quality detection element 500 , the first switch valve 310 , and the second switch valve 410 .

[0047] The communication module 700 is disposed in the meter body 100 , and the controller 600 is wirelessly connected to the monitoring terminal via the communication module 700 .

[0048] The meter body 100 has the water consumption statistics function of an ordinary water meter.

[0049] The water quality detection element 500 detects the water quality in the water pipe at a certain frequency, for example, once every 30 minutes.

[0050] The specific detection principle is as follows: when not being detected, the controller 600 controls the first switch valve 310 to close and controls the second switch valve 410 to open, and the water flow can only flow through the meter body 100, which will not affect the water consumption statistics. When water quality detection is required, the controller 600 first controls the first switch valve 310 to open for a few seconds (at this time, the water in the water supply pipe may be flowing or not flowing. Even if it is flowing, since the diameters of the first water pipe 300 and the second water pipe 400 are small and the opening time of the first switch valve 310 is very short, it has little effect on the water consumption statistics), and then closes the first switch valve 310 and the second switch valve 410 at the same time, and then waits for a certain period of time (for example, 3 minutes), and uses the detection value obtained by the water quality detection component 500 at the corresponding time as the water quality detection value of the time, and finally controls the second switch valve 410 to open, and the water quality detection of the time is completed. The controller 600 will also send the water quality test value obtained this time to the monitoring terminal through the communication module 700. The monitoring terminal can analyze whether there is a problem with the water quality in the water supply pipe based on the water quality test value. If there is a problem, the result will be fed back to the relevant staff so that solutions can be taken.

[0051] In summary, the water supply meter of this embodiment can obtain the water quality detection value of the water in the corresponding water pipe. The water quality status of the water in the corresponding water pipe can be understood through the water quality detection value, thereby improving the safety of water use.

[0052] Further, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the water quality detection housing 200 includes: a barrel-shaped housing 210 and a housing cover 220 .

[0053] A first connecting plate 211 is disposed on the outer circumference of the barrel-shaped housing 210. The barrel-shaped housing 210 is cylindrical, and the first connecting plate 211 is horizontally disposed along the radial direction of the barrel-shaped housing 210. A first connecting hole is formed on the first connecting plate 211.

[0054] The outer circumference of the shell cover 220 is provided with a second connecting plate 221 detachably connected to the first connecting plate 211, and the bottom of the shell cover 220 is provided with a shell cover protrusion 222 connected to the water quality detection member 500. The shell cover 220 is in the shape of a circular plate, and the second connecting plate 221 is horizontally arranged along the radial direction of the shell cover 220, and a second connecting hole is opened on the second connecting plate 221.

[0055] After the first connection hole and the second connection hole are connected and fixed by a connection member (such as a bolt and a nut), the shell cover 220 is connected and fixed to the barrel-shaped housing 210. At this time, the shell cover protrusion 222 is located in the shell cavity of the barrel-shaped housing 210. The water quality detection member 500 itself is already connected and fixed to the shell cover protrusion 222, and the water meter installer does not need to connect the water quality detection member 500 to the shell cover protrusion 222 by himself. The shell cover protrusion 222 is provided with an inner cavity for laying the line of the water quality detection member 500.

[0056] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the shell cover 220 is also provided with a circle of elastic sealing body 223 arranged around the shell cover protrusion 222. When the shell cover 220 is connected and fixed to the barrel-shaped shell 210, the elastic sealing body 223 is also located in the shell cavity of the barrel-shaped shell 210, and the elastic sealing body 223 is closely attached to the inner peripheral wall of the barrel-shaped shell 210 to block the connection gap between the shell cover 220 and the barrel-shaped shell 210, thereby ensuring the sealing of the water quality detection shell 200 and preventing water from flowing out of the connection gap between the shell cover 220 and the barrel-shaped shell 210.

[0057] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the meter body 100 includes a main housing 130 and a sub-housing 140 .

[0058] The main housing 130 is connected to the water inlet pipe 110 and the water outlet pipe 120 .

[0059] The secondary housing 140 is connected to the bottom of the main housing 130 , and the controller 600 and the communication module 700 are disposed in the housing cavity of the secondary housing 140 .

[0060] The main housing 130 is equivalent to an ordinary water meter body. In this embodiment, a secondary housing 140 is additionally provided on the basis of the main housing 130. The secondary housing 140 can be directly connected to the main housing 130 by threading, and is easy to disassemble and assemble. The secondary housing 140 is used to arrange components such as the controller 600, the communication module 700, and the power supply.

[0061] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the water quality monitoring component also includes: a support frame 800.

[0062] The support frame 800 includes a vertical support plate 810 and a horizontal support plate 820 which are integrally formed.

[0063] The vertical support plate 810 is connected to the main housing 130. The vertical support plate 810 is provided with a mounting hole, and the main housing 130 is provided with a docking hole. After the mounting hole and the docking hole are connected and fixed by a connecting member (such as a screw), the vertical support plate 810 is connected and fixed to the main housing 130.

[0064] One end of the horizontal support plate 820 in the length direction is connected to the vertical support plate 810, and the top surface of the horizontal support plate 820 is in contact with the bottom of the water quality detection housing 200. The horizontal support plate 820 can provide support force to the water quality detection housing 200.

[0065] Further, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the support frame 800 also includes: an elastic limiting protrusion 830.

[0066] The elastic limiting protrusion 830 is connected to the top plate surface of the horizontal support plate 820. The bottom of the water quality detection housing 200 is provided with a limiting groove 212 assembled and connected with the elastic limiting protrusion 830. The limiting groove 212 can be formed by the bottom plate of the water quality detection housing 200 being recessed upward. The setting of the elastic limiting protrusion 830 and the limiting groove 212 can reduce the shaking phenomenon of the water quality detection housing 200 due to external reasons, thereby making the structure of the water quality monitoring component more stable.

[0067] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the outer peripheral side of the secondary shell 140 is provided with a first interface 141 electrically connected to the controller 600, and the shell cover 220 is provided with a second interface 224 electrically connected to the water quality detection element 500, and the first interface 141 and the second interface 224 are connected by a connecting line.

[0068] When the connection line is connected to the first interface 141 and the second interface 224 , the controller 600 is electrically connected to the water quality detection element 500 .

[0069] When the secondary housing 140 needs to be removed from the main housing 130 (for example, the controller 600 is broken), it is only necessary to first separate the connecting wire from the first interface 141 and then rotate the secondary housing 140 off the main housing 130 .

[0070] When the shell cover 220 needs to be removed from the barrel-shaped housing 210 (for example, the water quality detection element 500 is broken), it is only necessary to first separate the connecting wire from the second interface 224, then remove the connecting element, and finally lift the shell cover 220. If the water quality detection element 500 cannot be repaired, it is directly replaced with a shell cover 220 having a new water quality detection element 500, and then the new shell cover 220 is connected to the barrel-shaped housing 210, and finally the connecting wire is connected to the second interface 224.

[0071] Further, such as Figure 7 As shown, a winding frame 213 is also provided on the outer circumference of the barrel-shaped housing 210. When the connecting wire is long, part of the connecting wire can be wound on the winding frame 213, thereby making the appearance of the water supply meter neat and beautiful.

[0072] Further, such as Figure 8 As shown, the meter body 100 is provided with two water quality monitoring components, and the water quality detection parts 500 of the two water quality monitoring components are used to detect different water quality indicators.

[0073] In this embodiment, a water quality detection component 500 is used to detect a water quality index, and the water quality index may be, for example, turbidity, residual chlorine, pH, water temperature, etc. Specifically, which water quality index to detect can be selected according to the use requirements, and then the corresponding water quality detection component 500 can be used. When two water quality indicators are to be detected, two water quality monitoring components can be set on the meter body 100, and the two water quality monitoring components use different water quality detection components 500. If more water quality indicators are to be detected, multiple water quality detection housings 200 can also be set on a water quality monitoring component, and each water quality detection housing 200 is installed with a different water quality detection component 500.

[0074] Generally speaking, it is sufficient to detect two water quality indicators (turbidity and residual chlorine), so two water quality monitoring components are provided in this embodiment. The water quality detection component 500 of one water quality monitoring component adopts a turbidity sensor, and the water quality detection component 500 of the other water quality monitoring component adopts a residual chlorine sensor.

[0075] The above embodiments are only for describing the preferred implementation of the utility model, and are not intended to limit the concept and scope of the utility model. Without departing from the design concept of the utility model, various modifications and improvements made by ordinary persons in the art to the technical solution of the utility model should fall within the protection scope of the utility model, and the technical contents of the utility model for protection have been fully recorded in the claims.
