Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of vertical water meters, in particular to a vertical spiral top-inlet vertical water meter case. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the water flow direction of vertical water meters in China is generally bottom-in, top-out, with the water inlet at the bottom and the water outlet at the top. This is determined by the structural characteristics of the water meter movement: water enters from the bottom of the movement, driving the impeller to rotate, and then flows out from the top. With the development and advancement of water supply and heating technologies, some users are demanding top-in, bottom-out vertical water meters or heat meters. To address this problem, some water meter manufacturers have used the existing bottom-in, top-out housing and installed an improved movement to create a top-in, bottom-out water meter, such as the CN206362387U vertical top-inlet water meter. However, field measurements have shown that such meters suffer from high pressure drop, low sensitivity, and large errors at low flow rates. Furthermore, the use of a new movement significantly increases production costs, making them less practical. Utility Model Content

[0029] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] See also Figures 1 to 5As shown, the case of a vertical spiral upper water inlet vertical water meter includes a metering cavity 1, a horizontal cavity 2 and a vertical cavity 3. The two ends of the horizontal cavity 2 are fixedly connected to the metering cavity 1 and the vertical cavity 3 respectively. An inner ring 11 is provided inside the metering cavity 1. The inner ring 11 divides the interior of the metering cavity 1 into a water inlet chamber 12 at the bottom and a water outlet chamber 13 at the top. The water inlet chamber 12 and the water outlet chamber 13 are respectively provided with a water inlet 15 and a water outlet 14 near the horizontal cavity 2, and the horizontal cavity 2 wraps the water inlet 15 and the water outlet 14; a water dividing plate 21 is provided in the horizontal cavity 2. The water dividing plate 21 is located between the water inlet 15 and the water outlet 14 and divides the interior of the horizontal cavity 2 into a water inlet channel 22 at the bottom and a water outlet channel 23 at the top;

[0031] The top of the vertical cavity 3 is the water inlet end 31, and the bottom is the water outlet end 32. A guide plate 4 is provided therein, which is composed of a spiral plate 41 and baffles 42 at both ends of the spiral plate 41. The guide plate 4 divides the interior of the vertical cavity 3 into a water inlet channel 33 and a water outlet channel 34; the water inlet end 31, the water inlet channel 33, the water inlet channel 22, the water inlet 15, and the water inlet chamber 12 are connected in sequence, and the water outlet chamber 13, the water outlet 14, the water outlet channel 23, the water outlet channel 34, and the water outlet end 32 are connected in sequence.

[0032] Through the above technical solution, water flows into the water inlet end 31 of the vertical cavity 3 from above, and then flows into the water inlet channel through the water inlet channel 33 under the guidance of the guide plate 4, and then enters the water inlet chamber 12 from the water inlet 15, passes through the movement (not shown in the figure) and enters the water outlet chamber 13, and then flows out along the water outlet 14, the water outlet channel 23, the water outlet channel 34, and the water outlet end 32 in sequence, thereby realizing the upper water inlet function of the vertical water meter without changing the movement; and the reversal of the water flow in the vertical cavity 3 is completed by the spiral plate 41, and the pressure loss is small; at the same time, the overall structure is simple, and only simple machining and welding are required to complete the production and assembly, without the need for complicated casting.

[0033] It is worth mentioning that the spiral blade 41 is twisted one turn to avoid too many turns which may increase the pressure loss and make the flow channel too small, while too few turns may lead to incomplete sealing of the flow channel.

[0034] It should be noted that the pitch of the spiral blade 41 is greater than the height of the water inlet channel 22 and the water outlet channel 23, so that the water inlet channel 31 and the water outlet channel 34 can wrap the water inlet channel 22 and the water outlet channel 23 to ensure smooth water flow.

[0035] It is understandable that if Figure 4 and Figure 5To facilitate processing, the guide plate 4 is composed of a spiral plate 41 and baffles 42 at both ends of the spiral plate 41. The spiral plate 41 is fixed on both sides to the inner wall of the vertical cavity 3, and its two ends are fixedly connected to the two baffles 42. The two baffles 42 are fixed on the inner wall of the vertical cavity 3 and respectively close the end of the water inlet channel 33 close to the water outlet end 32 and the end of the water outlet channel 34 close to the water inlet end 31;

[0036] Through the above solution, the spiral blade 41 can be machined and then welded to the baffle 42 to reduce the difficulty of machining the guide blade 4 .

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
