Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model discloses a built-in flow meter, which relates to the technical field of water treatment equipment and beverage machines, and in particular to the field of household water purifiers. Background Art

[0002] Built-in flow meter As the name suggests: see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 The flowmeter core is built into the water inlet and outlet pipes. This eliminates the need for a flowmeter housing, reducing its size and cost. The principle is as follows: water flows from the flowmeter's inlet pipe 1 into the flowmeter core 8 and then out through the outlet pipe. When water flows through the impeller 13, it rotates, which in turn drives the magnetic core 14. When the magnetic pole of the magnetic core 14 approaches the electromagnetic sensor 4 on the outlet pipe, it generates a pulse signal, thereby measuring the flow rate.

[0003] The existing built-in flow meter is Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, the water inlet pipe 20 is fixed to the base plate 6 by screws through the screw holes 21 to prevent the water inlet pipe 20 from being separated from the water outlet pipe 22. This connection method using screws is inconvenient to install, requiring two more screws, which is inefficient. In addition, the structure of the water inlet pipe is complicated, and two more "ear" screw holes 21 are required for installing screws, resulting in the water inlet pipe taking up more space during transportation and storage. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical solution of the flowmeter of this utility model is as follows: to simplify the existing two-screw installation method of built-in flowmeters, the flowmeter core is first placed in the water outlet pipe, and then the water inlet and outlet pipes are connected together using a spiral buckle structure. The specific technical solution is: a built-in flowmeter, consisting of an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe, an electromagnetic sensor, and a flowmeter core. Water flows into the water inlet pipe of the built-in flowmeter, and when it flows into the flowmeter core, it drives the impeller inside the core to rotate, and then flows out through the outlet pipe; the rotation of the impeller drives the magnetic core on the impeller to rotate. When the magnetic pole of the magnetic core approaches the electromagnetic sensor, the electromagnetic sensor generates a pulse signal. The utility model is characterized in that the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe are connected using a spiral buckle, and the flowmeter core is arranged between the water inlet pipe and the outlet pipe.

[0005] The water inlet pipe is provided with screw threads, and the water outlet pipe is provided with a spiral slide and a screw buckle. When the water inlet pipe is connected to the water outlet pipe, the screw threads on the water inlet pipe follow the spiral slide on the water outlet pipe, engage and fall into the screw buckle window of the water inlet pipe screw buckle to form a tight combination.

[0006] The impeller of the flowmeter core is integrated with the magnetic core and the shaft. The cone heads at both ends of the shaft match with the cone holes on the core front shell and the core rear shell. The core front shell and the core rear shell adopt a transition fit assembly structure.

[0007] The water inlet pipe is provided with a groove, and a sealing ring is provided in the groove. When the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe are snap-connected, the sealing ring plays a sealing role between the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe.

[0008] The outlet pipe is provided with a tightening polygonal structure, and a wrench is used to tighten the polygon to realize the snap connection between the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe. The outlet end of the water inlet pipe is provided with a water outlet, which faces the flow meter core, and the diameter of the water outlet is the same as the water inlet diameter of the flow meter core.

[0009] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0010] 1) Simplify the assembly process, just like the installation of a snap-on light bulb.

[0011] 2) The shape of the water inlet pipe is simplified, and production and processing are convenient.

[0012] 3) The simplified shape of the water inlet pipe saves space in transportation and storage.

[0013] The above characteristics show that its beneficial effects are: reducing costs and improving production efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
