Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a counter transmission structure, and more particularly to an internal gear counter transmission structure. Background Technology
[0002] In a water meter, the digit wheels are supported and fixed together by a digit wheel shaft. Their meshing gears often protrude from the display surface of the digit wheels. The dial wheel is fixed to the outside of the digit wheels by another digit wheel shaft and meshes with the gears on the digit wheels themselves. When the turbine rotates, the first digit wheel is driven to rotate. After rotating 360 degrees, it drives the first-position middle digit wheel to rotate 36 degrees via the dial wheel. This cycle continuously advances the digit wheels to display the cumulative water volume of the water meter.
[0003] However, because the meshing gears of this type of character wheel transmission structure protrude from the character wheel display surface, there will be a relatively large gap between the character wheels, which will lead to unstable transmission and cause a relatively large reading error over time. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects of the existing technology and provide an internal gear counter transmission structure.
[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] An internal gear counter transmission structure includes an upper counter clamp and a lower counter clamp connected together. A digit wheel shaft is disposed within the upper counter clamp. Multiple intermediate digit wheels of the same size are sleeved on the digit wheel shaft. Multiple dial wheel supports are also sleeved on the digit wheel shaft, each dial wheel support being sleeved between two intermediate digit wheels and concealed by the intermediate digit wheels on both sides. Each dial wheel support is provided with dial wheels that mesh with the intermediate digit wheels on both sides. A first-position drive digit wheel is sleeved on the rightmost side of the digit wheel shaft. A gear set is disposed on the lower counter clamp. One side of the first-position drive digit wheel meshes with the rightmost intermediate digit wheel, and the other side meshes with the gear set.
[0007] Furthermore, the gear set includes gears K506, K505, and K507, all connected to the lower clamp of the counter; gear K507 meshes with gear K506; gear K506 meshes with gear K505; and gear K505 meshes with the first drive wheel.
[0008] Furthermore, both ends of the character wheel shaft are fitted with bushings for fixing the character wheel shaft and adjusting the gap of the intermediate character wheel.
[0009] Furthermore, the bushing is made of 304 stainless steel.
[0010] Furthermore, the counter's upper clamp is covered with a counter panel; a counting window is provided above the counter panel; and the middle digit wheel is located just below the counting window.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0012] This invention uses a dial bracket to hide the dial wheel inside the middle character wheel, which greatly reduces the gap between every two middle character wheels. Furthermore, the engagement of the dial wheel with the middle character wheels on both sides enables transmission between each level of character wheels, reducing transmission gap, improving transmission efficiency, making transmission smoother, and reducing reading errors. Moreover, since the dial wheel and dial bracket are hidden, only the middle character wheels that fit together are visible from the outside, making the appearance more aesthetically pleasing.

[0023] Example
[0024] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, an internal gear counter transmission structure includes an upper counter clamping plate 2 and a lower counter clamping plate 12 that are engaged together. The upper counter clamping plate 2 and the lower counter clamping plate 12 are detachable for easy assembly, maintenance, and replacement of internal components. A digit wheel shaft 8 is provided inside the upper counter clamping plate 2. Multiple intermediate digit wheels 3 of the same size are sleeved on the digit wheel shaft 8. The intermediate digit wheels 3 have a circle of numbers 0-9 evenly distributed on them, with an angular interval of 36 degrees between each number. Multiple dial wheel brackets 5 are also sleeved on the digit wheel shaft 8, and each dial wheel bracket 5... All are fitted between two intermediate character wheels 3 and are concealed by the intermediate character wheels 3 on both sides; the dial wheel bracket 5 is provided with dial wheels 6 that mesh with the intermediate character wheels 3 on both sides to realize the transmission between each level of intermediate character wheels 3; the rightmost side of the character wheel shaft 8 is fitted with the first-position transmission character wheel 4; the lower clamp plate 12 of the counter is provided with a gear set; one side of the first-position transmission character wheel 4 is meshed with the rightmost intermediate character wheel 3, and the other side is meshed with the gear set; both ends of the character wheel shaft 8 are fitted with bushings 7 made of 304 stainless steel for fixing the character wheel shaft 8 and adjusting the gap of the intermediate character wheels 3.
[0025] The gear set includes gears K506 9, K505 10, and K507 11, all connected to the lower clamp plate 12 of the counter; gear K507 11 is meshed with gear K506 9; gear K506 9 is meshed with gear K505 10; and gear K505 10 is meshed with the first drive wheel 4.
[0026] To protect the internal structure and facilitate viewing the digits on the counter, the upper clamp plate 2 of the counter is covered with a counter panel 1; a counting window 13 is provided above the counter panel 1; the middle digit wheel 3 is located directly below the counting window 13, making it easy to view the water meter flow rate displayed on the middle digit wheel 3.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0028] The water flow below the water meter impacts the impeller, causing it to rotate, which in turn drives the gear set to rotate. When the gear set rotates, the first drive wheel 4, which meshes with the gear set, is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the first intermediate wheel 3, which meshes with the first drive wheel 4, to rotate. When the first intermediate wheel 3 rotates 360 degrees, it will drive the second intermediate wheel 3 to rotate 36 degrees through the dial wheel 6. This cycle continues, causing the intermediate wheel 3 to advance from right to left to display the cumulative water volume of the water meter. To check the cumulative water volume, simply look at the counting window 13.
[0029] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
