Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of gas meter protection technology, and in particular relates to an indoor gas meter protection structure. Background Technology
[0002] An indoor gas meter is a device installed indoors to measure and record gas usage. It accurately measures gas flow through internal mechanical structures or electronic sensors and displays the cumulative usage, providing a basis for users to settle gas bills.
[0003] Existing gas meters only provide a layer of protection on the outer casing, which is not very effective. The gas meter can still be damaged by impacts, resulting in economic losses. In addition, it is not easy for workers to operate during maintenance.
[0004] An existing patent (application number: CN202322836141.4) describes a protective structure for a gas meter. This structure utilizes a baffle. Specifically, pulling a pull plate causes a locking block to move away from a positioning hole, pressing the baffle downwards. A fixing rod then moves a piston downwards, compressing the air inside the housing. When the locking block reaches the positioning hole, it springs in, securing the baffle. This provides comprehensive protection for the gas meter body, improving protection and preventing damage from collisions. Pulling the pull plate causes the locking block to move away from the positioning hole. Because the gas inside the housing is compressed, the air pressure pushes the piston upwards, causing the baffle to move automatically upwards. When the locking block reaches the upper positioning hole, it springs in, securing the baffle. This facilitates maintenance and observation by personnel without requiring continuous support of the baffle.
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, existing patents have provided solutions. However, in actual installation and use, the overall structure of the device is quite complex, and the protective casing affects the installation of the gas meter and the setting of the gas meter pipeline to some extent. Improvements are needed. Therefore, an indoor gas meter protective structure is proposed. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0035] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0036] An indoor gas meter protection structure includes a gas meter 1 and a protective frame 2. The size of the gas meter 1 is adapted to the inner diameter of the protective frame 2, and a damping mechanism is provided between the gas meter 1 and the protective frame 2. Fixing members 3 for securing the protective frame 2 are provided on the inner wall of the protective frame 2 and the outer wall of the gas meter 1. An opening 4 is provided on one side of the protective frame 2, and symmetrical mounting blocks 5 are snapped onto the top of the protective frame 2 on one side of the opening 4. A crossbar 6 is rotatably arranged between the two sets of mounting blocks 5, and a top cover 7 is fixedly installed on the crossbar 6. Both sides of the top cover 7 are slidably provided with extension covers 8, which are U-shaped. The fixing component 3 includes an installation port 31 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the gas meter 1, a spring 32 disposed in the installation port 31, a fixing block 33 slidably disposed on the installation port 31, and a fixing port 34 opened on the outer wall of the gas meter 1. The two ends of the spring 32 are fixedly installed to the protective frame 2 and the fixing block 33 respectively, and the spring 32 is pressed between the protective frame 2 and the fixing block 33. The fixing block 33 and the fixing port 34 are configured as matching arc surfaces.
[0037] When in use, the operator first fixes the gas meter 1 indoors. After the gas meter 1 is installed, the operator inserts the protective frame 2 into the gas meter 1 from the bottom. The opening 4 on the side of the protective frame 2 can pass through the installation area of the gas meter 1 without affecting the upward sliding of the protective frame 2.
[0038] As the protective frame 2 slides upward, the fixing block 33 is compressed by the squeezing force of the gas meter 1 casing, causing the spring 32 to enter the mounting port 31. When the protective frame 2 is fully inserted into the gas meter 1, the mounting port 31 on the inner wall of the protective frame 2 is aligned with the fixing port 34 on the outer wall of the gas meter 1. The elastic restoring force of the spring 32 causes the fixing block 33 to be inserted into the fixing port 34, thus completing the installation and fixing of the protective frame 2.
[0039] After the protective frame 2 is fully installed, the mounting blocks 5 are snapped onto the top of the protective frame 2. The top cover 7 is rotated to protect the top of the protective frame 2. Then, the U-shaped extension covers 8 on both sides of the top cover 7 are pulled to completely cover the top of the gas meter 1. The U-shaped extension covers 8 can protect the gas meter 1 without affecting its wiring.
[0040] This indoor gas meter protection structure allows the protective frame 2 to be easily installed on the gas meter 1 without affecting the installation of the gas meter 1 or the pipeline setup. It ensures that the gas meter 1 can still operate stably and efficiently after the protective structure is installed, making it highly practical.
[0041] The mounting port 31, spring 32, fixing block 33, and fixing port 34 are provided with at least two symmetrical sets;
[0042] The mounting port 31, spring 32, fixing block 33, and fixing port 34 are provided in at least two symmetrical sets, which can improve the stability of the protective frame 2 installed on the gas meter 1.
[0043] A plug 9 is fixedly installed on the side of the top cover 7, and a socket 10 is opened on the top of the protective frame 2. The plug 9 and the socket 10 are matched in size, and a damping is provided between the plug 9 and the socket 10.
[0044] After the top cover 7 of the protective frame 2 is closed, the plug 9 on the top cover 7 will automatically insert into the socket 10 at the top of the protective frame 2. Since the plug 9 and the socket 10 are matched in size and there is damping between the plug 9 and the socket 10, the stability of the top cover 7 after it is closed can be improved, thus improving the protection effect of the top of the gas meter 1.
[0045] A damping mechanism is provided between the extension cover 8 and the top cover 7;
[0046] A damping device is provided between the extension cover 8 and the top cover 7, which can improve the stability of the extension cover 8 and further enhance the protective effect of the extension cover 8 on the top of the gas meter 1.
[0047] A door panel 11 is hinged to the side of the protective frame 2, and a damping is provided between the door panel 11 and the protective frame 2.
[0048] A door panel 11 is hinged to the side of the protective frame 2, which makes it easy to open the door panel 11 to observe and operate the gas meter 1. A damping is provided between the door panel 11 and the protective frame 2, which can improve the stability of the door panel 11 after it is closed, thereby improving the protective stability.
[0049] A handle 12 is fixedly installed on the side of the door panel 11;
[0050] A handle 12 is fixedly installed on the side of the door panel 11 to facilitate the opening of the door panel 11 by personnel in the operating area.
[0051] A display window 13 is provided on the door panel 11, and the display window 13 is made of transparent material;
[0052] A display window 13 is provided on the door panel 11. The display window 13 is made of transparent material, so that the data of the gas meter 1 can be directly observed through the display window 13.
[0053] Working principle:
[0054] When in use, the operator first fixes the gas meter 1 indoors. After the gas meter 1 is installed, the operator inserts the protective frame 2 into the gas meter 1 from the bottom. The opening 4 on the side of the protective frame 2 can pass through the installation area of the gas meter 1 without affecting the upward sliding of the protective frame 2.
[0055] As the protective frame 2 slides upward, the fixing block 33 is compressed by the squeezing force of the gas meter 1 casing, causing the spring 32 to enter the mounting port 31. When the protective frame 2 is fully inserted into the gas meter 1, the mounting port 31 on the inner wall of the protective frame 2 is aligned with the fixing port 34 on the outer wall of the gas meter 1. The elastic restoring force of the spring 32 causes the fixing block 33 to be inserted into the fixing port 34, thus completing the installation and fixing of the protective frame 2.
[0056] After the protective frame 2 is fully installed, the mounting blocks 5 are snapped onto the top of the protective frame 2. The top cover 7 is rotated to protect the top of the protective frame 2. Then, the U-shaped extension covers 8 on both sides of the top cover 7 are pulled to completely cover the top of the gas meter 1. The U-shaped extension covers 8 can protect the gas meter 1 without affecting its wiring.
[0057] This indoor gas meter protection structure allows the protective frame 2 to be easily installed on the gas meter 1 without affecting the installation of the gas meter 1 and the setting of the pipeline. It ensures that the gas meter 1 can still operate stably and efficiently after the protective structure is installed, making it highly practical.
[0058] in,
[0059] The mounting port 31, spring 32, fixing block 33, and fixing port 34 are provided with at least two symmetrical sets, which can improve the stability of the protective frame 2 installed on the gas meter 1.
[0060] After the top cover 7 of the protective frame 2 is closed, the plug 9 on the top cover 7 will automatically insert into the socket 10 at the top of the protective frame 2. Since the plug 9 and the socket 10 are matched in size and there is damping between the plug 9 and the socket 10, the stability of the top cover 7 after it is closed can be improved, thus improving the protection effect of the top of the gas meter 1.
[0061] A damping device is provided between the extension cover 8 and the top cover 7, which can improve the stability of the extension cover 8 and further improve the protective effect of the extension cover 8 on the top of the gas meter 1.
[0062] A door panel 11 is hinged to the side of the protective frame 2, which makes it easy to open the door panel 11 to observe and operate the gas meter 1. A damping is provided between the door panel 11 and the protective frame 2, which can improve the stability of the door panel 11 after it is closed and improve the protection stability.
[0063] A handle 12 is fixedly installed on the side of the door panel 11 to facilitate the opening of the door panel 11 by personnel in the operating area.
[0064] A display window 13 is provided on the door panel 11. The display window 13 is made of transparent material, so that the data of the gas meter 1 can be directly observed through the display window 13.
[0065] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
