Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of protection devices, in particular to a protection device for a tap water intelligent meter. Background Art
[0002] In modern urban water supply systems, smart water meters have become crucial equipment for water quantity monitoring and management. By monitoring parameters such as water flow, pressure, and temperature in real time, these meters provide data support to water supply companies, enabling more precise water resource allocation and management. To ensure the stable operation of smart meters, protective devices are often installed to prevent environmental impacts. However, current smart water meter protection devices present some technical challenges in practical application.
[0003] First, the protective devices of smart water meters are typically fixed and designed for long-term stable operation. This means that once installed, the devices are difficult to remove or readjust. While this fixed installation avoids frequent movement and maintenance, it also introduces a lack of flexibility, especially in scenarios where regular meter inspections or adjustments are required. This inconvenience can impact the long-term performance of the device.
[0004] Secondly, in actual use, because water pipes are subject to the dynamic environment of thermal expansion and contraction, temperature fluctuations cause the pipes to expand or contract, which in turn affects the installation position and sealing of smart meters. Long-term temperature fluctuations can gradually cause the meter's seals to fail, resulting in water leaks or inaccurate meter readings, affecting the meter's measurement accuracy and reliability. Furthermore, due to the water pipes' prolonged exposure to the external environment, rust and corrosion can exacerbate vibrations, further increasing the risk of seal failure and damage.
[0005] Existing protection devices, which rely heavily on traditional mechanical fastening and simple sealing materials, are unable to adequately address the impacts of these environmental changes. Consequently, existing smart water meter protection technologies still cannot fully meet the requirements for sealing, durability, and stability. Further optimization is needed to address the adverse effects of these external factors on the long-term operation of smart meters. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0022] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, it shows a protection device for a tap water intelligent meter provided by an embodiment of the present application, which comprises an upper protection cover and a lower protection cover. The upper protection cover comprises an upper cover body 11 and an upper water pipe interface 12, and the upper water pipe interface 12 is connected to both sides of the upper cover body 11. The lower end edge of the upper cover body 11 is connected with a fixed protrusion 13. The upper cover body 11 is provided with a plurality of fixed through holes 14, and the fixed through holes 14 are arranged through the fixed protrusion 13. The lower protection cover comprises a lower cover body 21 and a lower water pipe interface 22, and the lower water pipe interface 22 is connected to both sides of the lower cover body 21. The upper end edge of the lower cover body 21 is provided with a fixed groove 23, and the width of the fixed groove 23 matches the fixed protrusion 13. The fixed groove 23 is provided with a fixed plate 25, and the upper end of the fixed plate 25 is provided with a fixed groove 26. The position of the fixed groove 26 corresponds to the fixed through hole 14. The upper protection cover and the lower protection cover are fixed by connecting the fixed through hole 14 and the fixed groove 26 through a bolt. In the embodiment, the upper protection cover and the lower protection cover cover the upper and lower sides of the tap water intelligent meter respectively, and play a protective role on the surface of the meter, especially the panel. At the same time, after the whole protection device is fixed, a relatively sealed space is formed, which plays a role of moisture-proof sealing, can protect the electronic components inside the tap water intelligent meter, and also makes the connection between the tap water intelligent meter and the water pipe more firm, and improves the safety of use.
[0023] In this embodiment, the length of the fixing protrusion 13 is greater than the height from the fixing plate 25 to the top of the fixing groove 23, so that after the fixing protrusion 13 is fixed to the fixing plate 25 by bolts, a certain adjustment space is left. A plurality of buffer springs 27 are connected to the lower end of the fixing plate 25. Through the setting of the buffer spring 27, it can play a good buffering role against the weakening of the sealing caused by the expansion or contraction of the pipeline due to temperature changes, or the vibration of the pipeline caused by internal rust or pipeline blockage. It can be adjusted within a certain range, reducing the weakening of the connection sealing between the tap water smart meter and the pipeline due to other factors.
[0024] In this embodiment, a positioning protrusion 15 is provided at the lower end of the upper water pipe interface 12, and a positioning groove 24 connected to the fixing groove 23 is provided at the upper end of the lower water pipe interface 22. The upper water pipe interface 12 and the lower water pipe interface 22 are fixed together by the positioning protrusion 15 and the positioning groove 24, which fixes the position of the protective device during installation and plays a positioning role. Sealant 4 is applied to the inner walls of the upper water pipe interface 12 and the lower water pipe interface 22 to ensure a tighter connection between the pipe and the instrument. A cavity 3 is provided between the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 21. Cavity 3 is used to place the instrument. Cavity 3 forms a relatively sealed space, which helps to ensure the sealing and stable operation of the instrument.
[0025] In this embodiment, a cover plate 16 is provided at the upper end of the upper cover 11. A rotating shaft 17 is connected between the cover plate 16 and the upper cover 11. The cover plate 16 is opened and closed by the rotating shaft 17. The side of the cover plate 16 away from the rotating shaft 17 extends beyond the end surface of the upper cover 11, making it convenient for maintenance personnel to inspect and replace the instrument by opening the cover plate 16. The cover plate 16 is made of acrylic material, allowing the instrument values to be viewed without opening the cover plate 16, reducing the number of opening operations.
[0026] During installation, the fixing protrusion 13 on the upper cover body 11 is embedded and fixed with the fixing groove 26 of the lower cover body 21 to fix the overall installation position, and then the bolts are passed through the fixing through holes 14 and the fixing grooves 26 on the fixing plate 25 to fix the upper protective cover and the lower protective cover to each other, so that the protective device is fixed as a whole. It has the characteristics of convenient installation and strong sealing. At the same time, the buffer spring 27 can cope with the loosening of the seal caused by the external environment, and has strong stability.
