TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water well meter technology, in particular to a water supply modular water well meter. BACKGROUND

[0002] The internal space design of the traditional water well meter lacks flexibility, and its shape and size are usually determined according to fixed standards, which is difficult to adjust according to the actual installation requirements and the surrounding environment. In some special installation sites, such as narrow streets and areas with complex underground pipelines, this fixed space layout often conflicts with other municipal facilities or building foundations, resulting in limited installation location of the water well meter, or even unable to install normally. Moreover, the installation positions of the internal components of the traditional water well meter are relatively fixed, and the maintenance and replacement requirements of the equipment are not fully considered. When the water meter or other auxiliary equipment fails and needs to be repaired or replaced, the narrow operation space will bring great inconvenience to the maintenance personnel, increase the maintenance difficulty and time cost, and seriously affect the normal operation and maintenance efficiency of the water supply system.

[0003] For the related technologies in the above, the inventors found that the following defects exist: In the current water supply modular water well meter device, the fixed mounting hole positions of each component such as the module base and the water meter mounting seat are determined during manufacturing. This fixed hole design exposes many drawbacks in actual application scenarios. For example, in the construction site, the installation position of the water well meter component often needs to be fine-tuned due to changes in the early planning or complex underground pipeline layout. Since the mounting hole positions cannot be adjusted, the construction personnel cannot flexibly adjust the installation direction and position of the component according to the actual requirements, which greatly limits the adaptability of the water well meter in different environments. In some old city reconstruction projects, the underground space is already cramped and full of various existing pipelines. The fixed mounting hole positions may cause conflicts between the water well meter components and other pipelines. In order to avoid these conflicts, the construction personnel may have to perform additional modification on the surrounding pipelines or re-plan the overall layout of the water well meter, which undoubtedly increases the complexity, cost and time period of the construction.

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendixFigures 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0033] This application discloses a modular water meter well for water supply.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 A modular water meter well includes a water meter well base 1, a well body support frame 2 fixedly installed on the top of the water meter well base 1, a pipe module 3 set on the top of the well body support frame 2, and a well cover and auxiliary devices 4 set on the top of the pipe module 3.

[0035] Please see Figure 4 Pipeline module 3 includes a module base 301, a water meter mounting base 302, a main pipeline connector 303, a support plate 304, and an elastic sealing strip 305. The module base 301 is fixedly installed on the top of the well support frame 2. The water meter mounting base 302 is movably installed on the top of the module base 301. The main pipeline connector 303 is fixedly installed on one side of the water meter mounting base 302. Support plates 304 are provided on both the left and right sides of the water meter mounting base 302. The support plates 304 are fixedly connected to the elastic sealing strip 305 by adhesive.

[0036] The pipeline module 3 also includes a water meter protective cover 306, a protective cover bracket 307, and an observation window 308. The water meter protective cover 306 is movably connected to the top of the water meter mounting base 302. The protective cover bracket 307 is fixedly installed on the top of the water meter protective cover 306. An observation window 308 is provided at the bottom of the protective cover bracket 307.

[0037] The support plate 304 is composed of two arc-shaped plates, one inside and one outside, and both arc-shaped plates are movably connected to the top of the module base 301. The water meter mounting base 302 is symmetrically arranged on the top of the module base 301 with the internal connecting component 5 as the center.

[0038] The water meter mounting base 302 is connected to the internal communication component 5 through a sealing element, and the elastic sealing strip 305 is fixedly connected to one side of the water meter mounting base 302.

[0039] Further explanation is needed: During installation, construction personnel can easily adjust the water meter mounting base 302 to the optimal position based on the actual site pipeline layout. This ensures precise alignment between the main pipeline connector 303 and the inlet / outlet connecting pipes 502 and 503, reducing stress concentration during pipe connections and improving the sealing and stability of the connection. Furthermore, the water meter mounting base 302 typically features specialized fixing devices, such as slots and bolt holes, for securely installing the water meter and preventing it from shaking or shifting during water flow impact or daily use, thus ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the water meter's measurement. Its material also possesses excellent water resistance and stability, enabling long-term use in humid environments without deformation or damage, guaranteeing the normal operation and service life of the water meter.

[0040] Please see Figure 2 The manhole cover and its accessories 4 include a manhole cover body 401, a manhole cover fixing post 402, an opening hole 403, and an anti-fall net connecting ring 404. The manhole cover body 401 is movably installed on the top of the protective cover bracket 307. The manhole cover fixing post 402 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the manhole cover body 401. An opening hole 403 is opened on the top of the manhole cover body 401. An anti-fall net connecting ring 404 is fixedly connected to one side of the opening hole 403.

[0041] The manhole cover fixing post 402 has a threaded groove on one side that fits into the protective cover bracket 307. The manhole cover fixing post 402 is movably installed on one side of the protective cover bracket 307 through the threaded groove.

[0042] Further explanation is needed: the manhole cover fixing post 402 has a threaded groove on one side that fits against the protective cover bracket 307, allowing it to be movably installed on one side of the protective cover bracket 307. This design makes the connection between the manhole cover and the protective cover bracket more secure. Under normal use, the manhole cover will not easily shift or fall off due to accidental vibration or shaking, ensuring the safety of the water meter well. On the other hand, the threaded connection facilitates installation and disassembly. When workers need to open the manhole cover, they only need to operate in the correct rotation direction to easily remove the manhole cover, and it can be quickly and accurately fixed during reinstallation, improving the efficiency of daily maintenance operations.

[0043] Please see Figure 5The internal connecting component 5 includes a connecting pipe body 501, an inlet-side connecting pipe 502, an outlet-side connecting pipe 503, a flow regulating device 504, and a connecting pipe base 505. The connecting pipe base 505 is fixedly installed on the top of the water meter well base 1. The connecting pipe body 501 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting pipe base 505. The inlet-side connecting pipe 502 and the outlet-side connecting pipe 503 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the connecting pipe body 501. The flow regulating device 504 is provided on the top of the connecting pipe body 501. The inlet-side connecting pipe 502 and the outlet-side connecting pipe 503 are connected to the main pipe connector 303 through a sealing element.

[0044] Further explanation is needed: the inlet-side connecting pipe 502 is responsible for introducing water from the external main water supply pipeline into the connecting pipe body 501 inside the water meter well, while the outlet-side connecting pipe 503 transports the water, after metering and possible flow regulation, out to connect to the subsequent water supply network or user-end pipeline. They are connected to the main pipeline connector 303 via a sealing element. This sealed connection is crucial to prevent leakage during water transmission, ensuring the effective use of water resources and avoiding adverse effects on the surrounding environment of the water meter well caused by leakage, such as ground subsidence, damp soil, and bacterial growth. Simultaneously, their symmetrical arrangement on the left and right sides of the connecting pipe body 501 helps maintain a balance and stability of water flow, making the hydraulic conditions of the entire water supply system more rational and reducing potential inaccuracies in water meter readings due to uneven water flow.

[0045] The implementation principle of a modular water meter well according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: During normal water supply, water flows from the inlet side connecting pipe 502 into the connecting pipe body 501, passes through the flow regulating device 504, and then enters the water meter installed on the water meter mounting base 302 through the main pipe connector 303 for metering. The metered water then flows out from the outlet side connecting pipe 503 through the corresponding part of the internal connecting component 5 connected to the water meter mounting base 302, and is transported to the subsequent water supply network or user end to meet water demand.

[0046] Staff can periodically check the water meter's readings and operating status through the observation window 308 at the bottom of the protective cover bracket 307 to promptly detect any abnormalities, such as inaccurate readings or pointer jamming. When it is necessary to inspect, maintain, or replace parts inside the water meter well, staff use tools to open the well cover through the opening hole 403 on the cover body 401, enter the water meter well to perform the corresponding operations, and then close and secure the well cover after the operations are completed to ensure that the water meter well is in a safe and normal operating condition. Throughout the entire use process, all components work together, relying on their excellent connections, seals, and structural design to ensure stable and accurate water supply measurement and the safe and reliable operation of the water meter well.

[0047] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
