[0038] The first connection port 1 and the second connection port 6 form the water inlet end and the water outlet end of the device, which are used to connect the water inlet / outlet of the pump and the water pipe; generally, the device needs to be installed at the water inlet and outlet of the water pump, one for each, and the running efficiency of the water pump is judged by the monitoring values and difference values of the water inlet and outlet, so that the first connection port 1 and the second connection port 6 are more convenient for connection with the water pump, and because of the different specifications of the pump, the interface form or specification may be different, through modular design, the monitoring device can be adapted to the current water pump by only replacing the first connection port 1 and the second connection port 6, thereby improving the adaptation ability.
[0039] The main body of the monitoring module is arranged in a ring structure and is the same in structure; one end of the ring structure is provided with an internal screw hole 11, and the other end is provided with an external screw thread 12, and the external screw thread 12 and the internal screw hole 11 of the adjacent two ring structures are threadedly connected and sealed. The main body of the monitoring module is arranged in a ring structure and is the same in structure, which is the key to modular design. The functional modules in it, such as the flow meter 14, the differential pressure meter, the temperature sensor and the vibration sensor, are arranged in the inside of the ring structure by embedding, and the sensing probes of the flow meter 14, the differential pressure meter and the temperature sensor penetrate the ring structure and extend into the inner hole to directly contact the passing water body.
[0040] The first connection port 1 and the second connection port 6 are provided with corresponding internal screw holes 11 or external screw threads 12 at one end adjacent to the ring structure;

[0048] Or in a situation where only the flow rate needs to be counted, only the flow monitoring module 2 is retained to obtain flow data and the like.
