Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water meters, in particular to a novel bipolar signal-transmitting pointer water meter. Background Art

[0002] As global freshwater resources become increasingly scarce, water meters are important tools for managing and monitoring freshwater resources. Accurate measurement and management of water consumption is particularly important.

[0003] The key component of the water meter is the signal pointer, which is a device used to transmit water meter reading information. It is usually connected to the counting mechanism of the water meter. As water flows through the water meter, the pointer will rotate, thereby indicating the water consumption.

[0004] To save costs, the signal pointer in traditional water meters is usually made of a semicircular metal piece, which is not only cheap but also easy to manufacture. However, due to interference from vibration sources such as pipes, it can cause inconsistencies in electromechanical data.

[0005] Based on the above reasons, the present invention designs a novel bipolar signal pointer water meter, which overcomes the problem of inconsistent transmission data caused by vibration sources by replacing the signal pointer with a bipolar type. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a novel bipolar signal-transmitting pointer water meter. By replacing the signal-transmitting pointer with a bipolar type, the problem of inconsistent transmission data caused by a vibration source is overcome.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a novel bipolar signal-transmitting pointer water meter, a flip cover is provided on one side of the top surface of the control box, an upper cover is provided on the other side of the top surface of the control box, an organic movement is provided in the copper shell below the control box, a stainless steel cover is provided on the periphery of the movement, a glass cover is provided above the movement, a sealing gasket is provided between the glass cover and the stainless steel cover, a bipolar pointer is provided on the upper surface of the movement, a mainboard module compartment is provided in the control box below the upper cover, a control mainboard is provided on the mainboard module compartment, an electromechanical sensor is connected to one side of the mainboard module compartment, and the electromechanical sensor is located directly above the bipolar pointer.

[0008] The bipolar pointer has a pair of N-pole and S-pole magnets distributed 180 degrees diagonally.

[0009] The magnets are samarium cobalt magnets.

[0010] The movement is located under the flap.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] The utility model replaces the traditional semi-metallized pointer with a bipolar pointer, and utilizes the rotation of the movement under the impact of water flow, thereby driving the N and S pole samarium cobalt magnets provided on the bipolar type to rotate simultaneously, thereby converting the continuous change of the magnetic poles into different high and low level combinations that are captured by the electromechanical sensor, thereby realizing the calculation of the forward and reverse water consumption. This metering method will not be affected by vibration of the pipeline or slight external interference, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the measurement.

[0013] In addition, the present invention has higher sensitivity than the existing technology. Even if an obstacle with large impedance is placed between the sensor and the pointer, it can still be read, unlike the slow response of the semi-metallized disc. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] See also Figures 1-2 The utility model provides a new bipolar signal-transmitting pointer water meter. A flip cover 2 is provided on one side of the top surface of the control box 1, and an upper cover 8 is provided on the other side of the top surface of the control box 1. An organic movement 7 is provided in the copper shell below the control box 1, and a stainless steel cover 5 is provided on the periphery of the movement 7. A glass cover 3 is provided above the movement 7, and a sealing gasket 4 is provided between the glass cover 3 and the stainless steel cover 5. A bipolar pointer 6 is provided on the upper surface of the movement 7. A mainboard module compartment is provided in the control box 1 below the upper cover 8, and a control mainboard is provided on the mainboard module compartment. An electromechanical sensor is connected to one side of the mainboard module compartment, and the electromechanical sensor is located directly above the bipolar pointer 6.

[0020] A pair of N-pole and S-pole magnets are distributed on the bipolar pointer 6 at a 180-degree diagonal angle.

[0021] The magnets are samarium cobalt magnets.

[0022] The movement 7 is located below the flip cover 2 .

[0023] Working principle:

[0024] When the utility model is used, no excessive operation is required. When water flows through the water meter, it will impact the movement 7, driving the metering movement 7 to rotate. The bipolar pointer 6 located on the movement 7 will rotate along with it. The pointer of the bipolar pointer 6 is diagonally 180 degrees, and is respectively installed with a samarium cobalt magnet with the N pole and the S pole facing upward. The electromechanical sensor located above the bipolar pointer 6 generates a double pulse signal when sensing the alternating changes of the N pole and the S pole. The N pole and the S pole are high and low levels 0 and 1 respectively. According to the four level states of 01, 10, 11, and 00, the forward and reverse water consumption of the water meter is accurately measured.

[0025] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are intended to help understand the method and core concept of this application.

[0026] The utility model comprehensively solves the problems of inaccurate measurement caused by pipeline vibration or surrounding influences in the existing technology using semi-metallic original sheets. It only requires a bipolar pointer to replace the traditional semi-metallic disc pointer, thereby realizing the calculation of water consumption for the forward and reverse rotation of the water meter without worrying about the influence of vibration on the measurement. It is also more sensitive and has higher resistance to obstruction and interference.
