Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water meter technology, specifically to a large-diameter water meter base. Background Technology

[0002] A water meter is an instrument for measuring water flow, mostly measuring the cumulative flow of water. It is generally divided into two categories: volumetric water meters and velocity water meters. When selecting a water meter specification, you should first estimate the size and range of the flow used under normal circumstances, and then choose the water meter specification whose commonly used flow is closest to that value as the first choice. Large-diameter water meters refer to water meters with a nominal diameter of 50mm or more.

[0003] Existing large-diameter water meters, such as the one disclosed in publication number CN219104093U, have the advantage that the movable pipe can move freely inside the large-diameter pipe body, thereby changing its external length. However, the meter head at the top of this large-diameter water meter is not convenient to be protected after installation, making the meter head at the top of the water meter susceptible to damage from accidental impacts or collisions from external objects. Therefore, we propose a large-diameter water meter base. Utility Model Content

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. In this utility model, the protective cover movably installed on one side of the base of the water meter body can protect and fix the cover to the outer end of the meter head on the base, thereby protecting the meter head from impact and collision during use, thus avoiding accidental damage to the meter head in the water meter body. At the same time, the multiple sets of longitudinal reinforcing rods and transverse reinforcing frames arranged on the upper and lower end faces of the protective cover can also cross-reinforce the strength and impact resistance of the protective cover, thereby improving the protection effect on the bottom meter head, thus avoiding deformation of the protective cover during impact and squeezing the meter head;

[0015] 2. In this utility model, the pull rod installed in the threaded hole on one side of the base can also be engaged in the locking block at one end of the protective cover, so that the protective cover can be quickly closed and opened by pulling the pull rod, thereby facilitating the inspection of the data on the meter.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of the present utility model can be combined with each other.

[0025] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention, providing a large-diameter water meter base. Example 1

[0026] Combination Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a large-diameter water meter base, comprising: a water meter body 100 and a protective assembly 200; the water meter body 100 includes a base 101 in its middle, a meter head 102 installed on the upper end of the base 101, and flanges 103 on both sides thereof; the protective assembly 200 includes a protective cover 201 movably installed on the base 101, multiple sets of longitudinal reinforcing rods 202 arranged and welded to the upper end face of the protective cover 201, multiple sets of transverse reinforcing frames 203 arranged and welded to the lower end face of the protective cover 201, a notch 204 opened on one side of the base 101, a locking block 205 fixedly installed on one side of the protective cover 201, a locking hole 206 opened in the locking block 205, and a threaded hole 207 penetrating through one side of the base 101. A pull rod 208 is movably installed in the hole 207. A threaded plug 209 is movably installed on one side of the threaded hole 207. A round hole 210 is opened in the threaded plug 209, and the pull rod 208 is movably installed in the round hole 210. A spring 211 is movably installed on the outer end of the pull rod 208. A baffle 212 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer end of the pull rod 208. A hinge 213 is fixedly installed between the protective cover 201 and the base 101. The horizontal reinforcing frame 203 includes a horizontal reinforcing rod 2031 at the top, support columns 2032 at both ends, and support rods 2033 that are fixedly connected between the horizontal reinforcing rod 2031 and the support columns 2032. The locking block 205 matches the notch 204. One side of the pull rod 208 is movably matched and installed in the locking hole 206.

[0027] Specifically, a water meter is an instrument that measures water flow, mostly the cumulative flow. A protective cover 201, movably mounted on one side of the base 101 in the water meter body 100, protects and fixes the meter head 102 on the base 101, thus providing impact and collision protection for the meter head 102 during use, preventing accidental damage. Simultaneously, multiple sets of longitudinal reinforcing rods 202 and transverse reinforcing frames 203 arranged on the upper and lower ends of the protective cover 201 further enhance its strength and impact resistance, improving the protection of the bottom meter head 102 and preventing deformation and compression of the meter head 102 during impacts. A pull rod 208 installed in a threaded hole 207 on one side of the base 101 can also be engaged with a locking block 205 at one end of the protective cover 201, thereby allowing for... Pulling the lever 208 quickly closes and opens the protective cover 201, facilitating the inspection of data on the meter 102. The support columns 2032 and support rods 2033 at both ends of the horizontal reinforcing frame 203 are mainly used to support the two ends of the top horizontal reinforcing rod 2031, so that after the protective cover 201 is closed, it is supported on the upper end of the base 101 to ensure the support strength of the horizontal reinforcing frame 203 to the bottom of the protective cover 201. The locking hole 206 in the locking block 205 is mainly used for the matching insertion of the lever 208. The spring 211 at the outer end of the lever 208 is mainly used for the elastic compression of the lever 208 to keep it firmly inserted into the locking hole 206. The baffle 212 fixedly installed on one side of the lever 208 is mainly used for the restraint of the spring 211. The hinge 213 installed between the protective cover 201 and the base 101 is mainly used for the rotation adjustment of the protective cover 201.

[0028] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0029] After the water meter body 100 is installed, the pull rod 208 on one side of the base 101 can be pulled outwards first, so that the pull rod 208 compresses the spring 211 at its outer end and moves the part that is inserted into the recess 204 into the threaded hole 207. After one end of the pull rod 208 is completely moved into the threaded hole 207, the protective cover 201 can be rotated to cover the upper part of the base 101 to provide safety protection for the meter head 102 at the upper end of the base 101. The locking block 205 at one end of the protective cover 201 is installed into the recess 204 on one side of the base 101. After 04 is inside, the pull rod 208 can be loosened so that the pull rod 208 is inserted into the locking hole 206 in the locking block 205 by the elastic force of the spring 211 at its outer end, thereby fixing the protective cover 201 after installation. The multiple sets of longitudinal reinforcing rods 202 and transverse reinforcing frames 203 arranged on the upper and lower end faces of the protective cover 201 can also improve the overall impact resistance and deformation resistance of the protective cover 201 in a crisscross pattern, thereby providing better safety protection for the lower end of the meter 102 during use.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
