Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water meter box technology, specifically a new type of underground water meter box that is easy to maintain. Background Technology

[0002] Buried water meter boxes are a special type of water meter box, characterized by being buried underground. Their main purpose is to install and protect water meters, ensuring their normal operation and extending their lifespan. They are typically installed underground to save space, prevent damage from the external environment, and maintain a clean and aesthetically pleasing surface. Therefore, they are widely used. However, in northern regions, the presence of a frozen ground layer in winter affects the usability of buried water meter boxes.

[0003] Currently, buried water meter boxes are generally conventional rectangular boxes, buried deep underground, and depending on the local temperature, they are buried below the frost line. When the water meter is damaged or needs maintenance, the frost line needs to be dug up, which is difficult to do in northern winters and involves a large amount of work. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of underground water meter box that is easy to maintain, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel underground water meter box that is easy to maintain, comprising an underground box body, an insulation layer on the inner top wall of the underground box body, a protruding maintenance access channel on the top of the underground box body, a support boss at the connection between the maintenance access channel and the underground box body, an insulation pad on the top of the support boss, and a top cover on the maintenance access channel; a seamless first water pipe joint is pre-installed on the rear side wall of the underground box body, a first branch water pipe is connected to the inner side of the first water pipe joint, and seamless second water pipe joints are pre-installed on the left and right sides of the underground box body, with second branch water pipes corresponding to and connected to the second water pipe joints evenly distributed on the left and right sides of the first branch water pipe, and a water meter is installed on each second water pipe joint.

[0006] Preferably, the surface of the bearing boss is provided with a through hole that communicates with the interior.

[0007] Preferably, a waterproof strip is provided between the maintenance access channel and the top cover.

[0008] Preferably, the underground enclosure is made of hot-rolled steel plate.

[0009] Preferably, a footrest is provided on the inner wall of the underground enclosure below the maintenance access passage.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the underground enclosure is provided with lifting lugs.

[0011] Preferably, the outer wall surface of the underground enclosure is coated with waterproof adhesive, and fiberglass is provided on the outside of the waterproof adhesive.

[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the underground enclosure is coated with anti-rust paint.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This new, easily maintained underground water meter box is buried below the frost line, with a maintenance access passage extending from the top of the box to above ground level for easy access by maintenance personnel, facilitating management and maintenance. An insulation pad is installed in the access passage to effectively ensure temperature stability inside the underground box. Furthermore, during the construction of the underground box, a seamless water pipe joint is incorporated to connect the internal and external water pipes, preventing water leakage between the box and pipes and avoiding the need for replacement and maintenance of seals at the connection point. Its simple structure saves on component costs and facilitates easy installation. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0023] A novel, easy-to-maintain underground water meter box includes an underground box body 1 buried in the soil, which is made of 5mm thick hot-rolled steel plate. The outer surface of the underground box body 1 is coated with waterproof adhesive, and three layers of fiberglass are installed outside the waterproof adhesive. The waterproof adhesive also serves to bond the hot-rolled steel plate and the fiberglass. The inner wall of the underground box body 1 is coated with anti-rust paint to prevent direct contact between the welded joints of the hot-rolled steel plate and moisture, as the interior of the underground box body 1 is relatively humid.

[0024] The top inner wall of the underground box 1 is provided with an insulation layer 9. The insulation layer 9 is made of polyurethane board and is used to reduce the loss of heat inside the underground box 1. Since the ground temperature is lower than that underground in winter, it is only necessary to install it on the top inner side of the underground box 1.

[0025] The top of the underground enclosure 1 is provided with a protruding maintenance access channel 2, and a top cover 4 is provided on the maintenance access channel 2. The height of the maintenance access channel 2 is designed with reference to the frost line height of each region. The top cover 4 is exposed, and opening the top cover 4 allows access to the inner cavity of the underground enclosure 1 through the maintenance access channel 2. A waterproof sealing strip is provided between the maintenance access channel 2 and the top cover 4 to improve the sealing effect between the access channel 2 and the top cover 4, preventing water and cold air from entering.

[0026] A support boss 5 is provided at the connection between the maintenance access channel 2 and the underground enclosure 1. An insulation pad 6 is placed on top of the support boss 5. The support boss 5 is used to house the insulation pad 6, which in turn isolates the maintenance access channel 2 from the inner side of the underground enclosure 1. Direct contact between the frozen soil layer and the support boss 5 results in a low temperature inside the support boss 5. The insulation pad 6 is used to isolate the maintenance access channel 2 from the inner cavity of the underground enclosure 1, reducing the entry of cold air from the inside of the support boss 5 into the inner cavity of the underground enclosure 1. Through holes communicating with the interior are provided at the four corners of the support boss 5 for installing remote water meter antennas.

[0027] The bottom of the side wall of the underground water meter box 1 is pre-installed with a seamlessly connected first water pipe joint 7 and second water pipe joint 3. The first water pipe joint 7 is located on the rear side wall of the underground water meter box 1, and the second water pipe joint 3 is located on the side walls of both sides of the underground water meter box 1. During the fabrication of the underground water meter box 1, the first water pipe joint 7 and the second water pipe joint 3 are directly welded to the underground water meter box 1, and the connection between the first water pipe joint 7 and the second water pipe joint 3 and the underground water meter box 1 is made seamless, avoiding the water leakage problem of existing buried water meter boxes and water distribution pipes.

[0028] The outer side of the first water pipe joint 7 is connected to the main water pipe, and the inner side of the first water pipe joint 7 is connected to the first branch water pipe. The left and right sides of the first branch water pipe are evenly distributed with second branch water pipes corresponding to and connected to the second water pipe joint 3. Each second water pipe joint 3 is equipped with a water meter 8.

[0029] The inner wall of the underground box 1 is provided with a foot pedal 10 below the maintenance access passage 2. The foot pedal 10 is usually located on top of the first water pipe joint 7 to prevent maintenance personnel from always stepping on the first water pipe joint 7.

[0030] The top of the underground enclosure 1 is provided with lifting lugs, which are used for transporting the underground enclosure 1.
