Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an electricity meter interface, and more particularly to a connection interface for smart water and electricity meters, belonging to the field of smart water and electricity meter technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the popularization of energy management, smart water and electricity meters have become widely used devices in modern homes and businesses. They can monitor water and electricity usage in real time and send data to users via the network.

[0003] Existing smart water and electricity meters typically use threaded pipe joints for connection. Although this connection method is simple in structure, it has some safety hazards in actual use. Due to the lack of effective protective design at the connection, when the water pipeline or connector becomes loose or partially broken due to the usage environment or improper human operation, the connection may break. This break will not only directly affect the normal operation of the equipment, but may also cause safety accidents, seriously threatening the safety of water and electricity supply at the place of use.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical issues, a smart water and electricity meter connection interface is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a smart water and electricity meter connection interface to solve or alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provides a beneficial option.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: a smart water and electricity meter connection interface, including a main body mechanism and a connection mechanism;

[0007] The main structure includes a water meter, an inlet and an outlet. The inlet and outlet are respectively installed on both sides of the water meter, and a threaded pipe joint is fixedly connected to one end of each inlet and outlet.

[0008] The connecting mechanism includes two connecting sleeves and a compression ring. The two connecting sleeves are respectively fitted onto the outside of the inlet and outlet. The compression ring is fitted onto one side of the connecting sleeve. A limiting groove is formed on one side of the connecting sleeve. The outer side of the connecting sleeve is integrally formed into a cone shape. A retaining ring is integrally formed on one side of the connecting sleeve.

[0009] More preferably, four strip grooves are equidistantly distributed on one side of the inlet and outlet, four slots are equidistantly distributed on one side of the inlet and outlet, and an annular groove is provided on one side of the inlet and outlet. The annular groove communicates with the strip grooves and slots. A slider is slidably connected inside the slot, and one side of the slider is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve.

[0010] More preferably, a rubber-plastic insulation pipe is fixedly connected inside the connecting sleeve.

[0011] More preferably, a sealing ring is fitted on one side of the threaded pipe joint.

[0012] More preferably, the outer side of the connecting sleeve is provided with grooves evenly distributed.

[0013] More preferably, a bracket is fixedly connected to one side of the water meter, and one side of the bracket engages with the water inlet.

[0014] More preferably, the sum of the widths of the slot and the annular groove is equal to the width of the slider.

[0015] The present invention has the following advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solution:

[0016] I. This utility model provides a connecting sleeve that covers the connection point after the water pipeline is connected to the threaded pipe joint. By using a sliding compression ring, the compression ring is engaged in the limiting groove. The compression ring compresses the connecting sleeve, causing it to contract and lock, thereby enhancing the connection stability and preventing loosening. In the event of a partial break at the connection point of the water pipeline, the overall wrapping of the connection point effectively prevents leakage.

[0017] Second, this utility model uses a rubber and plastic insulation pipe to enhance the insulation protection of the connection, and a bracket is set to keep a certain distance between the water inlet and the water meter, thereby facilitating the connection operation of the water inlet.

[0018] The above overview is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be limiting in any way.

[0026] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment of the utility model provides a smart water and electricity meter connection interface, which consists of a main body mechanism 10 and a connection mechanism 20.

[0029] The main structure 10 includes a water meter 11, an inlet 12, and an outlet 13. The inlet 12 and outlet 13 are respectively installed on both sides of the water meter 11. A threaded pipe joint 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the inlet 12 and outlet 13. A sealing ring 16 is fitted on one side of the threaded pipe joint 15. Four strip grooves 18 are equally spaced on one side of the inlet 12 and outlet 13. Four slots 19 are equally spaced on one side of the inlet 12 and outlet 13. An annular groove 17 is opened on one side of the inlet 12 and outlet 13. The annular groove 17 communicates with the strip grooves 18 and the slots 19.

[0030] In one embodiment, in order to prevent the water inlet 12 from sticking to the water meter 11 and causing the water supply pipeline to be unable to be connected, a bracket 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the water meter 11, and one side of the bracket 14 is engaged with the water inlet 12.

[0031] The connecting mechanism 20 includes two connecting sleeves 21 and a compression ring 22. The two connecting sleeves 21 are respectively fitted on the outside of the inlet 12 and the outlet 13. The compression ring 22 is fitted on one side of the connecting sleeve 21. A limiting groove 23 is opened on one side of the connecting sleeve 21. The outer side of the connecting sleeve 21 is integrally formed into a cone shape. A retaining ring 27 is integrally formed on one side of the connecting sleeve 21. A slider 26 is slidably connected inside the slot 19. One side of the slider 26 is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve 21. The sum of the widths of the slot 19 and the annular groove 17 is equal to the width of the slider 26.

[0032] In one embodiment, to enhance the thermal insulation performance at the connection, a rubber and plastic thermal insulation pipe 25 is fixedly connected inside the connecting sleeve 21.

[0033] In one embodiment, grooves 24 are evenly distributed on the outer side of the connecting sleeve 21, which makes the connecting sleeve 21 more prone to deformation when it is squeezed, and prevents the compression ring 22 from failing to move into the limiting groove 23.

[0034] In operation, the present invention is as follows: the water supply pipeline is aligned with the inlet 12 and the outlet 13 respectively, and the water supply pipeline is moved horizontally to connect with the threaded pipe joints 15 at the inlet 12 and the outlet 13. After connection, the sealing ring 16 is used to seal and protect the connection. Then, the connecting sleeve 21 is moved to cover the connection. When the connecting sleeve 21 moves, it drives the slider 26 to slide from the strip groove 18 to the annular groove 17. After rotating the connecting sleeve 21, the slider 26 is inserted into the slot 19. The compression ring 22 is pushed away from the threaded pipe joint 15 until the compression ring 22 is inserted into the limiting groove 23. During the movement of the compression ring 22, the connecting sleeve 21 is compressed, causing the connecting sleeve 21 to deform and lock the water supply pipeline to prevent the connection from loosening.

[0035] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
