Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a metering device, in particular to an easy-to-maintain vertical valve-controlled water meter. Background Art

[0002] A water meter is an instrument used to measure water flow. Vertical valve-controlled water meters, for example, have an actuator within the data collection device that controls the flow. This allows them to work with a remote platform to implement on / off control, calculate water charges, and transmit data, significantly reducing management costs.

[0003] However, the collection device's housing is a one-piece structure, and the actuator is a consumable component. Maintenance and replacement requires disassembly of the entire housing, which is not only inconvenient but also affects the accuracy of the water meter. Furthermore, the battery is also built into the housing and cannot be replaced separately, increasing the maintenance workload. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, an easy-to-maintain vertical valve-controlled water meter includes a base meter 1 and a collection device.

[0027] The base meter comprises a meter housing 1-1 and a valve housing 1-2, wherein the meter housing has an internal movement and the valve has an internal valve. The meter housing is also provided with an inlet and an outlet, wherein the inlet is located at the bottom and the outlet is located at the top.

[0028] The collection device is installed on the base table. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the acquisition device includes a main compartment 2 and a secondary compartment 3. The main compartment is installed on the watch case of the base watch, and the main compartment has a battery compartment 4. The main compartment is provided with a circuit board assembly 5, which is encapsulated in the main compartment by potting glue.

[0029] The main compartment and the battery compartment are connected as one body. A battery 7 is provided in the battery compartment. The battery is used to supply power to the circuit board assembly and the actuator through a wire (omitted in the figure). A wire hole is provided between the main compartment and the battery compartment for the wire to pass through.

[0030] The main and auxiliary chambers are separate structures. The auxiliary chamber is mounted on the valve housing of the base meter and is fixed to the main chamber via a connecting structure to facilitate replacement of the actuator. The auxiliary chamber is equipped with an actuator 6, which is encapsulated in the auxiliary chamber with potting glue and connected to the valve stem of the valve.

[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, a base plate 8 is fixed to the valve housing of the base meter, and the auxiliary chamber is fixed to the base plate by a first fastener 8-1. The inner cavity of the auxiliary chamber is provided with a plurality of hollow columns 3-5, and the first fastener is installed in the hollow columns and fixes the auxiliary chamber to the base plate. The hollow columns surround the first fastener, separating the first fastener from the inner cavity of the auxiliary chamber, which can prevent the first fastener from being submerged in the potting compound and facilitate subsequent maintenance. The back plate of the auxiliary chamber is provided with a valve stem hole 3-4, through which the actuator's actuating part is connected to the valve stem of the valve. The first fastener is a bolt.

[0032] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the connection structure includes a chute 2-1 provided on the side of the main compartment, a slider 3-1 provided on the side of the auxiliary compartment and mating with the chute, and a second fastener securing the main and auxiliary compartments. The chute is arranged vertically. Screw holes 2-3 are provided in the chute, and the slider is provided with a protruding plate 3-3 extending into the chute. The protruding plate has a through hole that mates with the screw hole. The second fastener is a bolt that passes through the through hole and engages with the screw hole.

[0033] The main compartment has a main compartment cable hole 2-2 on its side. The auxiliary compartment has a secondary compartment cable hole 3-2 on its side. The main compartment cable hole and the auxiliary compartment cable hole are positioned correspondingly. The circuit board assembly is electrically connected to the actuator via wires (omitted in the figure) that pass through the main compartment cable hole and the auxiliary compartment cable hole.

[0034] The main compartment is provided with a main compartment cover 11 , the auxiliary compartment is provided with an auxiliary compartment cover 12 , and the battery compartment is provided with a battery cover 13 .

[0035] If an actuator malfunctions, open the auxiliary compartment cover, remove the first and second fasteners, slide the auxiliary compartment downward to separate it from the main compartment, then install the auxiliary compartment containing the new actuator and secure it with the first and second fasteners. Since the main compartment does not need to be opened for maintenance, operation is convenient and quick, and the accuracy of the water meter is guaranteed.

[0036] The accompanying drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in this specification. Rather, these embodiments are provided to facilitate a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of the present invention.
