Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water meter technology, specifically a device that allows for easy disassembly of the data cable of a multi-functional water tank / water meter. Background Technology
[0002] Water supply companies refer to enterprises or organizations that specialize in urban and rural public water supply and self-built water supply facilities. Their main responsibilities are to produce, supply, and meet the water needs of the people, and to be responsible for the installation and use of water supply equipment, ensuring the quality of water supply equipment and installation projects. Currently, water supply companies usually use concentrators to read water meters. Since the concentrator is usually located in the control box inside the multi-functional water tank and is connected to the water meter via a data cable for data transmission, the lack of a quick-disconnect structure for the data cable outside the control box means that when a water meter is damaged and needs to be replaced, personnel often have to open the control box, locate the corresponding position of the damaged water meter on the concentrator, and then disconnect the data cable. The overall operation is quite cumbersome and causes great inconvenience to the staff's maintenance and replacement work. Utility Model Content

Through the setting of the second support frame, it can support and fix the inlet water pipe and the water tank body. Through the setting of the protective door, it is convenient for personnel to protect the front of the water tank body. Through the setting of the insulation cotton cover and the insulation cotton board, a good heat preservation function is formed around the water tank body, reducing the chance of the water meter body freezing and being damaged in winter.
[0014] 3. This utility model achieves the purpose of accommodating the L-shaped card plate by setting the receiving hole. By setting the fixing block, guide groove and support spring, the support spring between the guide groove and the fixing block can be compressed during the rotation of the turntable, so that the support spring can generate tension on the turntable. When the personnel stop pushing the turntable to rotate, the support spring can push the turntable to rotate and reset. By setting the rubber pad, the sealing performance of the connection between the female and male connectors is effectively improved. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Example 2:
[0028] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model is as follows: Figures 1-3 As shown, a first support frame 8 is fixedly installed between the surface of the main water pipe 9 and the left side of the inner cavity of the water tank body 1. There are three first support frames 8. A meter valve 11 is threadedly installed on the right side of the water meter body 3. An inlet water pipe 7 is threadedly installed on the right side of the meter valve 11. A second support frame 12 is fixedly installed between the surface of the inlet water pipe 7 and the right side of the inner cavity of the water tank body 1. An insulation cotton cover 2 is fixedly connected between the inner cavity of the water tank body 1 and the bottom of the outer surface of the control box 10. A protective door 6 is movably connected to the left end of the front surface of the water tank body 1 via a hinge. An insulation cotton board 5 is fixedly connected to the right side of the protective door 6.
[0029] In this technical solution, the first support frame 8 can support and fix the main water pipe 9 and the water tank body 1. The valve 11 after the meter allows users to cut off the water supply in the inlet water pipe 7 during the maintenance of the indoor water pipes. The second support frame 12 can support and fix the inlet water pipe 7 and the water tank body 1. The protective door 6 allows personnel to protect the front of the water tank body 1. The insulation cotton cover 2 and the insulation cotton board 5 form a good insulation function around the water tank body 1, reducing the chance of the water meter body 3 freezing in winter.
[0030] Example 3:
[0031] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model is as follows: Figures 4-6As shown, the annular fixing frame 18 has receiving holes 26 on all four sides of its right side. The left end of the L-shaped plate 17 is movably connected to the surface of the receiving hole 26. The upper end of the annular fixing frame 18 is fixedly connected to a fixing block 23. The upper end of the turntable 16 has a guide groove 24. The surface of the fixing block 23 is movably connected to the surface of the guide groove 24. A support spring 25 is fixedly connected between the back of the fixing block 23 and the surface of the guide groove 24. A rubber pad 22 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner cavity of the female connector 21. The left side of the rubber pad 22 is movably connected to the right side of the male connector 19.
[0032] In this technical solution, the L-shaped card plate 17 is accommodated by the receiving hole 26. The supporting spring 25 is compressed between the guide groove 24 and the fixed block 23 during the rotation of the turntable 16, so that the supporting spring 25 can generate tension on the turntable 16. When the personnel stop pushing the turntable 16 to rotate, the supporting spring 25 can push the turntable 16 to rotate and reset. The rubber pad 22 effectively improves the sealing of the connection between the female connector 21 and the male connector 19.
[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The water tank body 1 provides excellent multi-functional protection against collisions, dust, and severe weather around the water meter body 3 and the concentrator 14. The first data cable 13, male connector 19, female connector 21, and second data cable 15 connect the water meter body 3 and the concentrator 14, allowing the concentrator 14 to read the water usage data of the water meter body 3. Simultaneously, the locking block 20, annular fixing frame 18, L-shaped locking plate 17, and turntable 16 effectively limit the movement of the male connector 19 and female connector 21, preventing them from loosening or falling off during use. This ensures stable meter reading by the concentrator 14. Furthermore, when the water meter body 3 is... When it is necessary to disassemble the first data cable 13 and the second data cable 15 due to damage and replacement, the turntable 16 is rotated along the surface of the annular fixed frame 18, which drives the L-shaped clamping plate 17 to rotate. Under the action of rotation, the L-shaped clamping plate 17 can disengage from the surface of the clamping block 20, thereby releasing the limit between the male connector 19 and the female connector 21. Then, the personnel can pull out and separate the female connector 21 and the male connector 19 that are inserted between the first data cable 13 and the second data cable 15, thereby achieving the effect of quick disassembly between the first data cable 13 and the second data cable 15. This allows the personnel to disassemble and replace the water meter body 3 afterward. The overall operation is convenient and quick, bringing great convenience to the personnel's replacement and maintenance work.
