[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 - 15 In an embodiment of the present utility model, a new type of modified intelligent bolt dedicated flowmeter device is provided, which includes a housing 1, an embedded flowmeter 7, and a fixing member. The housing 1 is used to be placed in the accommodating cavity of the fire hydrant 6. The exterior of the housing 1 matches the interior of the accommodating cavity. A cavity 3 for accommodating the embedded flowmeter 7 is provided inside the housing 1. The embedded flowmeter 7 is used to detect the water flow of the fire hydrant 6, and the fixing member is used to fix the housing 1 in the accommodating cavity of the fire hydrant 6. Therefore, by matching the exterior of the housing 1 with the interior of the accommodating cavity, and the fixing member fixes the housing 1 in the accommodating cavity of the fire hydrant 6, the function of mutual matching of dimensions and stable installation between the flowmeter device and the fire hydrant 6 is achieved. Since it is a dedicated flowmeter device designed specifically for the fire hydrant 6, without complex functions, the cost of the device is relatively low and the cost performance is high.
[0043] In some embodiments, the upper part of the housing 1 has an opening for assembling the embedded flowmeter 7. When the embedded flowmeter 7 is assembled into the cavity 3 inside the housing 1, it is fed in through this opening.
[0044] In some embodiments, the fixing member includes a clamp, and the clamp is used to surround the outer periphery of the housing 1 to fix it in the accommodating cavity of the fire hydrant 6. In some embodiments, more than one connecting ear 2 with a perforation 21 is further provided on the surface of the housing 1. In some embodiments, there are two connecting ears 2, which are respectively located on both sides of the housing 1. Specifically, a lead screw 5 is contained in the accommodating cavity of the fire hydrant 6. ① When there is more than one connecting ear 2 and they are longitudinally arranged on the surface of the housing 1, during installation, the clamp passes through the perforation 21 of the connecting ear 2, surrounds or does not surround the housing 1, and then surrounds the lead screw 5, so as to fix the housing 1 on the lead screw 5 in the accommodating cavity of the fire hydrant 6. Here, using one connecting ear 2 and one clamp can play a fixing role, but multiple connecting ears 2 and multiple clamps can play a more stable role. ② When there are two connecting ears 2 and they are respectively located on both sides of the housing 1, during installation, the clamp passes through the perforation 21 of the connecting ear 2, surrounds or does not surround the housing 1, and then surrounds the lead screw 5, so as to fix the housing 1 on the lead screw 5 in the accommodating cavity of the fire hydrant 6. This setting can be more stable. ③ When the connecting ears 2 are in groups of two, the same as the situation in ②, but there are multiple groups longitudinally arranged, that is, there are more than two longitudinally distributed connecting ears 2 on either side of the connecting ear 2. During installation, the clamp passes through the perforation 21 of the connecting ear 2, surrounds or does not surround the housing 1, and then surrounds the lead screw 5, so as to fix the housing 1 on the lead screw 5 in the accommodating cavity of the fire hydrant 6. Such a setting can be more stable.
[0045] In some embodiments, the housing 1 has a mating portion 4 for mating with the screw rod 5 of the fire hydrant 6. In some embodiments, the mating portion 4 is an arc shape that is concave inward. During installation, the housing 1 and the screw rod 5 are fixed together using a clamp, and the mating portion 4 of the housing 1 can fit on the screw rod 5, which will not cause wear due to mismatch of structural shapes, and is more conducive to fixing together.
[0046] Optionally, the matching portion 4 may also be in the shape of a groove that is recessed inward and has a certain angle (eg, 0°<angle<180°).
[0047] Preferably, the housing 1 has a matching portion 4, which is in the shape of an inwardly concave groove, the opening of which is equal to the diameter of the screw rod 5, and the groove can accommodate the screw rod 5. During installation, the opening of the matching portion 4 is brought close to the screw rod 5, and the screw rod 5 is sent into the concave position, so that the matching portion 4 embraces the screw rod 5 and plays a fixing role, so that the housing 1 can lean against the screw rod 5 without causing separation, etc. Therefore, the matching portion 4 at this time also plays a matching and fixing role, and with the clamp, the fixation can be made more firm.
[0048] In some embodiments, the housing 1 contains extra space after the embedded flow meter 7, and the extra space is provided with glue 8 for sealing and fixing. After being sealed and fixed by the glue 8, the embedded flow meter 7 can be firmly fixed inside the housing 1, which helps the embedded flow meter 7 to work normally in the fire hydrant 6 for a long time. Preferably, the glue 8 will automatically harden in a short time after pouring and filling, and play a role in sealing and fixing.
[0049] In some embodiments, the housing 1 is made of corrosion-resistant material to extend its service life.
[0050] In some embodiments, the fixing member is made of corrosion-resistant material to extend its service life.
[0051] Optionally, the flow meter may be an electromagnetic flow meter, an ultrasonic flow meter, a volumetric flow meter, a rotor flow meter, a differential pressure flow meter, or the like.
[0052] In the fire hydrant 6, a lead screw 5 is fixedly arranged inside the fire hydrant 6. The lead screw 5 is used to provide a fixing point for the fixing of the housing 1, that is, when the clamp passes through the perforation 21 of the connecting ear 2 on the surface of the housing 1 and surrounds the lead screw 5, the housing 1 is fixed on the lead screw 5; inside the fire hydrant 6, there is a waterproof joint, which is arranged above the embedded flowmeter 7 to play a waterproof role, that is, to prevent the water inside the fire hydrant 6 from seeping out; a flange is arranged at the top of the long pipe of the fire hydrant 6 for fixing the waterproof joint; the fire hydrant 6 further includes an intelligent module, which is arranged at the upper part of the fire hydrant 6 and is used to process and / or transmit sensor values. Therefore, preferably, after the embedded flowmeter 7 is fixed inside the fire hydrant 6, the lead of the embedded flowmeter 7 runs upward along the lead screw 5, passes through the waterproof joint, and passes through the flange at the top of the long pipe of the fire hydrant 6 and then is electrically connected to the intelligent module, and the data of the flowmeter is processed and transmitted through the intelligent module.
[0053] Preferably, the position of the housing 1 away from the mating part 4 is an outwardly convex arc-shaped structure. When the clamp surrounds the housing 1, it can fit the outer circumference of the housing 1 and combine with surrounding the lead screw 5, so as to fix the housing 1 on the lead screw 5 more firmly.
[0054] Preferably, the shape of the connecting ear 2 is rectangular. The connecting ear 2 is arranged in the middle of the surface of the housing 1. The shape of the perforation 21 is rectangular, and the perforation 21 is a horizontal perforation 21. Such a setting makes the clamp fit the housing 1 more closely when passing through the perforation 21 of the connecting ear 2 and surrounding the housing 1, so as to fix the housing 1 on the lead screw 5 more firmly.
[0055] Optionally, in all embodiments, the fixing member can be a clamp, and can also be replaced by a cable tie, a rope, and so on.
[0056] It should be noted that although the above-mentioned embodiments have been described in this article, the patent protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereby. Therefore, based on the innovative concept of the present invention, the changes and modifications made to the embodiments described in this article, or the equivalent structural or equivalent process transformations made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
