DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The utility model will be further described below in combination with the drawings:

[0026] The orientation terms involved in the paragraphs of detailed description are only for the convenience of the person skilled in the art to understand the technical solutions recorded in the application according to the visual orientation shown in the drawings. Except for explicit provisions and limitations, the terms such as "setting", "installing", "connecting" should be understood broadly, and for the person skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] For example, Figures 1 to 3As shown, a water meter detection device comprises a body 100, a clamping mechanism 200, and a self-connection mechanism 300. The clamping mechanism 200 is installed in the middle part of the body 100, and part of the structure protrudes out of the body 100. A pressure plate 102 is installed at the center position of the part protruding out of the body 100. The self-connection mechanism 300 is provided in plurality and arranged adjacent to the clamping mechanism 200. The self-connection mechanism 300 comprises a sliding frame 310, an adjusting rod 311, and a connection end head 320. The sliding frame 310 is provided in plurality, one end of which is movably embedded in the body 100, and the opposite side is hinged with the adjusting rod 311 in plurality. The connection end head 320 is arranged between the sliding frames 310 and hinged with the adjusting rod 311 in plurality for multi-directional movement adjustment. In this way, when the device is used, the water meter to be detected is placed above the pressure plate 102. After the pressure plate 102 is pressed, the clamping mechanism 200 moves in opposition to the pressure plate 102 and is tightened in a moving mode, so as to clamp and fasten the two ends of the water meter to be detected, so that the water meter to be detected can be stably fixed at the detection position and is not easy to deviate or separate. When the water meter to be detected is stable, the connection end head 320 of the self-connection mechanism 300 is automatically connected to the water inlet end and / or the water outlet end of the water meter to be detected under the adjustment of the adjusting rod 311, and is screwed and fastened, until the maximum torque of the connection end head 320 is reached and stopped, so as to ensure the connection tightness of the connection end head 320 and the water meter to be detected, so that the water meter to be detected is not easy to leak or separate during the detection. Under the cooperation of the clamping mechanism 200 and the self-connection mechanism 300, the working efficiency of the water meter detection is improved, and the stability of the detection work is also improved.

[0028] Optionally, a plurality of hinged blocks 312 are installed on the side of the sliding frame 310 facing the connection end head 320, for connecting the adjusting rod 311. In this way, the hinged blocks 312 can ensure the stability of the connection of the adjusting rod 311, and also improve the adjustment range of the adjusting rod 311, so as to provide more adjustment range for the adjusting rod 311.

[0029] Optionally, an operation plate 101 is hinged to the outer wall of the body 100, for parameter setting and detection data display of the device.

[0030] As Figures 2 to 4As shown, the adapter head 320 includes an end seat 321, a visual sensor 322, an adapter motor 323, a rotary joint 324, the visual sensor 322 is installed on one side of the end seat 321, and the adapter motor 323 is installed adjacent thereto; a driving gear 3231 is installed on the power output end of the adapter motor 323; the rotary joint 324 is rotatably connected with the end head, and a linkage gear 3232 is installed between the rotary joint 324 and the adapter motor 323, and is engaged with the driving gear 3231 and the rotary joint 324; wherein the side wall of the end seat 321 is provided with a plurality of hinged ears 3211 for connecting the adjusting rods 311. In this way, the visual sensor 322, the adapter motor 323, the rotary joint 324 and other components are integrated on the end seat 321, the adjustment of the end seat 321 by the adjusting rods 311 can make the integrated components consistent in motion, effectively improving the adapter accuracy of the visual sensor 322, the adapter motor 323 and the rotary joint 324. For example, before the device performs an automatic adapter action, the visual sensor 322 will scan the front position in order to find the water inlet end or water outlet end position of the water meter to be detected. After determining the water inlet end or water outlet end, the visual sensor 322 guides the end seat 321 to move towards the water inlet end or water outlet end position through cooperation of the plurality of adjusting rods 311, so that the rotary joint 324 is opposite to the water inlet end or water outlet end. At this time, the adapter motor 323 is started to drive the rotary joint 324 to rotate and be connected with the water inlet end or water outlet end, until the adapter motor 323 reaches the preset maximum torque, the adapter motor 323 stops working. At this time, the adapter work with the water meter to be detected is completed, and the next detection work can be performed. Through the cooperation of the integrated end seat 321 and the adjusting rod 311, the adapter work with the water meter to be detected can be completed without manual intervention, effectively improving the work efficiency of the water meter detection, and reducing the physical consumption of the workers.

[0031] As shown in Figure 4 The rotary joint 324 is composed of a movable end 3241 and a fixed end 3242, the movable end 3241 is rotatably connected with the end seat 321 and protrudes from one end of the end seat 321 to the other end; wherein the side wall of the movable end 3241 is provided with a toothed track 3243 around it, for engaging the linkage gear 3232. In this way, the movable end 3241 of the rotary joint 324 can be rotated under the driving of the adapter motor 323 to achieve the purpose of adapter with the water meter to be detected. The fixed end 3242 will not rotate with the movable end 3241 during the rotation of the movable end 3241 due to the limitation of other components.

[0032] As shown in Figure 2 And Figure 5As shown, the self-connection mechanism 300 further comprises a driving assembly 330, which is installed in the body 100 and partially connected with the sliding frame 310. In this way, the driving assembly 330 is connected with the sliding frame 310, so that the sliding frame 310 has the ability of lateral displacement, which not only enables the self-connection mechanism 300 to adjust the distance between the end seat 321 and the water meter when facing different sizes of water meters to be detected, but also enables the self-connection mechanism 300 to adjust the distance between the end seat 321 and the water meter according to the rotation progress during the connection of the rotary joint 324 and the water meter, so as to smoothly perform the connection action.

[0033] As shown in the figure, Figure 5 The driving assembly 330 comprises a first driving machine 331, a lead screw 332, and a sliding part 333. The power output end of the first driving machine 331 is fixedly connected with one end of the lead screw 332, and the other end of the lead screw 332 is provided with a rotating bracket 334. The sliding part 333 is composed of a sliding block 3331, a connecting rod 3332, and a connecting plate 3333. The connecting rod 3332 is provided with multiple rods, one end of which is fixedly connected with the sliding block 3331, and the other end is fixedly connected with the connecting plate 3333. The connecting plate 3333 is fixedly connected with the sliding frame 310. In this way, the first driving machine 331 cooperates with the rotating bracket 334 to enable the lead screw 332 to stably rotate with the power output end of the first driving machine 331. When the lead screw 332 rotates clockwise, the sliding part 333 moves towards the first driving machine 331, and simultaneously drives the sliding frame 310 to move synchronously. Conversely, when the lead screw 332 rotates counterclockwise, the sliding part 333 moves towards the rotating bracket 334, and simultaneously drives the sliding frame 310 to move synchronously.

[0034] As shown in the figure, Figure 6 The clamping mechanism 200 is composed of multiple independent clamping parts 210, and each clamping part 210 comprises a clamping plate 220 and a driving part 230. One end of the clamping plate 220 protrudes out of the body 100, and the other end is connected with the driving part 230 installed in the body 100. In this way, the clamping plate 220 is connected with the driving part 230, so that the clamping plate 220 can be displaced in an arc shape under the driving of the driving part 230. When the clamping plate 220 contacts the surface of the water meter to be detected, the driving part 230 stops by itself and remains in a locked state, so that the clamping plate 220 is not easy to displace, so as to stably clamp the water meter to be detected. At the same time, the independent clamping parts 210 can independently adjust the clamping position according to different sizes.

[0035] As shown in the figure, Figure 7As shown, one side of the clamping plate 220 is provided with a plurality of auxiliary components 221; the auxiliary components 221 are composed of a spring rod 222 and a wheel set 223, and one end of the spring rod 222 is fixedly connected with the clamping plate 220, and the other end is connected with the wheel set 223; wherein the wheel set 223 can swing around the connecting point of the spring rod 222 as the pivot. In this way, during the clamping process of the clamping plate 220, the wheel set 223 first contacts the surface of the water meter to be detected. At this time, the wheel set 223 swings according to the shape of the contacted position, and the wheel set 223 and the surface of the water meter form a plurality of contact points to tightly fasten the water meter in a ring shape. The spring rod 222 can provide a certain amount of contraction for the wheel set 223, so that the wheel set 223 can be more closely attached to the surface of the water meter, further improving the clamping stability of the water meter.

[0036] As shown in Figure 7 The driving part 230 is composed of a second driving machine 231 and a swing arm 232, wherein one end of the swing arm 232 is fixedly connected with the power output end of the second driving machine 231, and the other end is fixedly connected with the clamping plate 220. In this way, the swing arm 232 can drive the clamping plate 220 to move in an arc-shaped trajectory with the power output end of the second driving machine 231 as the pivot. Compared with the straight-line clamping method, the arc-shaped clamping method has a wider range of applicability.

[0037] As shown in Figure 8 The body 100 is provided with a water tank 400, a first flow sensor 401, a first electric control valve 402, a second flow sensor 404, a second electric control valve 405, a pump body 403 and an electric control box 406. The water tank 400 is installed on one side of the body 100, and the side adjacent to the water tank 400 is provided with the first flow sensor 401, the first electric control valve 402 and the pump body 403 connected in series, wherein the first flow sensor 401 is in communication with the water tank 400, and the pump body 403 is connected with the fixed end 3242 of one of the rotary joints 324; the other side adjacent to the water tank 400 is provided with the second flow sensor 404 and the second electric control valve 405 connected in series, wherein one end of the second flow sensor 404 is connected with the water tank 400, and one end of the second electric control valve 405 is connected with the fixed end 3242 of the other rotary structure; and the electric control box 406 is installed on one side of the second electric control valve 405. In this way, the first flow sensor 401 and the second flow sensor 404 can simultaneously measure the flow rates of the inlet and outlet of the water meter, providing diversified comparison for the flow rate of the water meter itself, and effectively improving the accuracy of the water meter detection work. The first electric control valve 402 and the second electric control valve 405 can be opened or closed according to different test stages, so as to ensure the stable progress of the detection work.

[0038] As shown in Figure 8As shown, the pressure plate 102 is mounted below a pressure switch 103, and the pressure switch 103 is fixed on one side of the water tank 400. In this way, the pressure switch 103 cooperates with the pressure plate 102, the pressure plate 102 can transmit the pressure received to the pressure switch 103, and the pressure switch 103 provides working parameters for the clamping mechanism 200 and the self-connection mechanism 300. So that the two can timely perform corresponding work.

[0039] Finally, although the present specification is described in terms of embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution, and the description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that those skilled in the art can understand.
