Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water meter technology, specifically to an impact-resistant smart water meter. Background Technology

[0002] A water meter is an instrument used to measure and record the water flow of water-using units such as households, industries, and agriculture. It is usually installed in water pipe systems to accurately measure the amount of water passing through the pipes. However, traditional water meters are prone to various impacts, vibrations, or external forces during use, which can affect their service life.

[0003] A search revealed that the Chinese patent "A Water Meter with Anti-vibration Function" (authorization announcement number CN214200258U) utilizes a first spring. When the water pipe and the water meter body are subjected to external force collision and vibration, the abutment ring on the outer edge of the water pipe vibrates, causing the circular shaft to vibrate. This causes the first spring to deform, providing buffering and reducing the vibration amplitude, thereby achieving anti-vibration protection for the water pipe and the water meter body. Furthermore, thanks to the mounting ring fixedly installed on one side of the fixing plate, the water flow is filtered through a filter screen before entering the water pipe, facilitating water filtration and improving the user experience.

[0004] Although the above method can buffer the impact on the water pipe and water meter body by squeezing the first spring with the abutment ring, the spring is elastic. When the first spring is under pressure, the spring will cause the abutment ring to vibrate repeatedly on the outer surface of the water pipe, which affects the shock resistance and has poor stability.

[0005] Based on this, this utility model designs an impact-resistant smart water meter to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides an impact-resistant smart water meter.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An impact-resistant smart water meter includes a water pipe for easy connection to other water pipes, a mounting bracket fixedly connected to the outer surface of the water pipe, and a water meter mounted on the top of the outer surface of the water pipe; an anti-vibration mechanism including buffer rings abutting against the top and bottom of the water pipe, friction pads fixedly connected to both sides of one of the buffer rings, buffer rods fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the buffer rings, and a first piston fixedly connected to the other end of the buffer rods. A buffer cylinder is provided on the outer surface of the first piston, and the inner wall of the buffer cylinder abuts against the outer surface of the first piston.

[0009] Furthermore, the anti-seismic mechanism also includes a limiting rod inserted into one side of the mounting frame. The other end of the limiting rod passes through the mounting frame and is fixedly connected to a fixing ring. A first spring is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting frame, and the other end of the first spring is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing ring.

[0010] Furthermore, the anti-seismic mechanism also includes a guide pipe connected to the top of the buffer cylinder, the other end of the guide pipe being connected to an air collection cylinder, the inner cavity of the air collection cylinder being provided with a second piston, a push rod being fixedly connected to one side of the second piston, and the other end of the push rod passing through a fixing ring and being fixedly connected to a rubber pad.

[0011] Furthermore, a second spring is fixedly connected to both the top and bottom of the buffer ring, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the fixed ring.

[0012] Furthermore, a limiting ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the buffer cylinder, and the limiting ring is located on one side of the guide tube.

[0013] Furthermore, both ends of the guide pipe are fixedly connected with sealing gaskets, and the two sides of the sealing gaskets are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the buffer cylinder and the air collection cylinder.

[0014] Furthermore, filter plates are provided on both sides of the inner cavity of the water pipe, and mounting blocks are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the filter plates. The mounting blocks are connected to the water pipe by bolts and threads.

[0015] Furthermore, friction pads are fixedly connected to both sides of one of the buffer rings, and the friction pads are made of rubber.

[0016] Beneficial effects

[0017] 1. When the water pipe and water meter are subjected to impact and vibration, the pressure will cause the buffer ring to squeeze the buffer rod. The first piston will drive the buffer rod to move slowly, while the second spring will slowly contract. This will buffer and decompose the impact force generated by the water pipe and water meter. This anti-vibration method avoids the problem of conventional anti-vibration methods where the surface of the water pipe is easily hit repeatedly when the water pipe and water meter are subjected to impact force, which affects the anti-vibration effect and has poor stability.

[0018] 2. When the buffer rod and the first piston buffer the impact force generated by the water pipe and the water meter, the gas in the buffer cylinder will be introduced into the gas collection cylinder by the first piston through the guide pipe. Then, the gas will squeeze the second piston and the push rod, pushing the rubber pad to one side of the friction pad, so that the rubber pad contacts the friction pad to increase the friction force, reduce the shaking amplitude of the water pipe and the water meter, and improve the stability.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0028] In some embodiments, please refer to the appendix to the instruction manual. Figure 1-4An impact-resistant smart water meter 5 includes a water pipe 1 for easy connection to other water pipes, a mounting bracket 2 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the water pipe 1, and a water meter 5 installed on the top of the outer surface of the water pipe 1; an anti-vibration mechanism including a buffer ring 507 abutting against the top and bottom of the water pipe 1, a buffer rod 506 fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the buffer ring 507, a first piston 505 fixedly connected to the other end of the buffer rod 506, a buffer cylinder 504 provided on the outer surface of the first piston 505, and the inner wall of the buffer cylinder 504 abutting against the outer surface of the first piston 505.

[0029] When the water pipe 1 and water meter 5 are impacted and vibrate, the pressure will cause the buffer ring 507 to squeeze the buffer rod 506. The first piston 505 will drive the buffer rod 506 to move slowly, while the second spring 516 will slowly contract, thereby buffering and decomposing the impact force generated by the water pipe 1 and water meter 5.

[0030] Water meter 5 is a smart water meter. Smart water meters include basic metering functions and also have built-in electronic sensors, microprocessors, communication modules, and other devices. It converts water flow into electrical signals through sensors, which are then processed by the microprocessor. The data is then sent to a remote server or local device for display, storage, and analysis via wireless communication technology. It should be noted that the devices described above are all based on mature existing technologies. Specific models can be selected according to actual needs and will not be elaborated here.

[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the anti-seismic mechanism further includes a limiting rod 501 inserted into one side of the mounting frame 2. The other end of the limiting rod 501 passes through the mounting frame 2 and is fixedly connected to a fixing ring 503. A first spring 502 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting frame 2, and the other end of the first spring 502 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing ring 503.

[0032] The first spring 502 and the limiting rod 501 are used to buffer the impact force on the water pipe 1 and the water meter 5 when they swing back and forth.

[0033] In this embodiment of the utility model, the anti-vibration mechanism further includes a guide pipe 509 connected to the top of the buffer cylinder 504, and the other end of the guide pipe 509 is connected to an air collection cylinder 510. The inner cavity of the air collection cylinder 510 is provided with a second piston 511, and a push rod 512 is fixedly connected to one side of the second piston 511. The other end of the push rod 512 passes through the fixing ring 503 and is fixedly connected to a rubber pad 513.

[0034] When the buffer rod 506 and the first piston 505 buffer the impact force generated by the water pipe 1 and the water meter 5, the gas in the buffer cylinder 504 will be introduced into the air collection cylinder 510 by the first piston 505 through the guide pipe 509. Subsequently, the gas will squeeze the second piston 511 and the push rod 512, pushing the rubber pad 513 to one side of the friction pad 508, so that the rubber pad 513 contacts the friction pad 508 to increase the friction force, reduce the shaking amplitude of the water pipe 1 and the water meter 5, and improve the stability.

[0035] In this embodiment of the utility model, a second spring 516 is fixedly connected to both the top and bottom of the buffer ring 507, and the other end of the second spring 516 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the fixing ring 503.

[0036] The second spring 516 enables the buffer rod 506 and the first piston 505 to reset when the water pipe 1 and the water meter 5 are stable. This allows the gas in the gas collection cylinder 510 to flow back into the buffer cylinder 504, and also moves the push rod 512 and the second piston 511 to their original positions.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a limiting ring 514 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the buffer cylinder 504, and the limiting ring 514 is located on one side of the guide pipe 509.

[0038] The limiting ring 514 limits the position of the first piston 505 and the second piston 511 when they move, preventing the first piston 505 and the second piston 511 from moving to the outlet and inlet of the guide pipe 509.

[0039] In this embodiment of the utility model, sealing gaskets 515 are fixedly connected to both ends of the guide tube 509, and the two sides of the sealing gaskets 515 are fixedly connected to one side of the buffer cylinder 504 and the air collection cylinder 510, respectively.

[0040] The sealing gasket 515 is used to seal the connection between the guide pipe 509 and the buffer cylinder 504 and the air collection cylinder 510.

[0041] In this embodiment of the utility model, filter plates 3 are provided on both sides of the inner cavity of the water pipe 1, and mounting blocks 4 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the filter plates 3. The mounting blocks 4 are connected to the water pipe 1 by bolt threads.

[0042] The filter plate 3 and the mounting block 4 enable the filtering of impurities in the water when the water pipe 1 is flowing through it. The filter plate 3 can be disassembled and replaced by the mounting block 4, which is connected by bolts.

[0043] In this embodiment of the utility model, friction pads 508 are fixedly connected to both sides of one of the buffer rings 507, and the friction pads 508 are made of rubber.

[0044] By using friction pad 508, when friction pad 508 comes into contact with rubber pad 513, the contact between rubber pad 513 and friction pad 508 increases friction, reduces the shaking amplitude of water pipe 1 and water meter 5, and improves stability.

[0045] It should be noted that the water pipe 1 and water meter 5 mentioned above are all devices with relatively mature existing technology. The specific model can be selected according to actual needs. At the same time, the water meter 5 can be powered by the built-in power supply or by the mains power. The specific power supply method is selected according to the situation and will not be elaborated here.

[0046] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
