[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0031] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0032] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model provides a water monitoring unit system that can be used in automated robotic welding production lines for automobile manufacturing. It includes an inlet channel 1, an outlet channel 2, and a monitoring mechanism 3 located between the inlet and outlet channels 1 and 2. A ball valve 4 and an on / off valve 5 are installed on the inlet channel 1, and a check valve 6 is installed on the outlet channel 2. The ball valve 4 is used for flow regulation and rapid shut-off, allowing for manual control of fluid flow, which is crucial for maintenance and debugging. The on / off valve 5 is used for precise control of water flow, achieving automated control. When a water flow or temperature warning or alarm occurs, the monitoring mechanism 3 can control the on / off valve 5 to close automatically. The check valve 6 prevents reverse water flow, protecting system safety. The synergistic effect of the ball valve 4, on / off valve 5, and check valve 6 constitutes a highly efficient, reliable, and safe fluid control system, meeting the requirements of high flow rate, high precision, and high safety, providing reliable protection for welding cooling in automobile manufacturing.

[0034] The monitoring mechanism 3 includes a main control module 31, an inlet flow monitor 32 and an inlet temperature monitor 33 installed inside the inlet channel 1, and an outlet flow monitor 34 and an outlet temperature monitor 35 installed inside the outlet channel 2. The inlet flow monitor 32 is used to monitor the inlet flow rate, and the outlet flow monitor 34 is used to monitor the outlet flow rate, and the data is uploaded to the main control module 31 to determine whether the water flow rate is abnormal. The inlet temperature monitor 33 is used to monitor the inlet temperature, and the outlet temperature monitor 35 is used to monitor the outlet temperature, and the data is uploaded to the main control module 31 to determine whether the water temperature is abnormal.

[0035] The flow monitoring can be set to two levels: flow warning and flow alarm, with corresponding flow warning and flow alarm values. Generally, the flow warning value is lower than the flow alarm value (depending on the specific situation). The main control module 31 acquires the monitoring results from the inlet flow monitor 32 and the outlet flow monitor 34, and then compares the flow difference between the two with the flow warning value and the flow alarm value to determine whether leakage or other abnormalities have occurred, thus realizing the water flow warning and water flow alarm functions.

[0036] Temperature monitoring can be set to two levels: temperature warning and temperature alarm, with corresponding temperature warning and alarm values. Generally, the temperature warning value is lower than the temperature alarm value (depending on the specific situation). The main control module 31 acquires the monitoring results from the inlet water temperature monitor 33 and the outlet water temperature monitor 35, and then compares the inlet water temperature with the temperature warning and temperature alarm values ​​separately to determine whether the inlet water temperature will affect the welding process, etc.; and compares the outlet water temperature with the temperature warning and temperature alarm values ​​to determine whether the outlet water temperature is too high. An excessively high outlet water temperature may be due to excessive welding torch temperature, which will affect the welding process, etc.

[0037] The water inlet channel 1 includes a first water inlet pipe 11, a second water inlet pipe 12, and a third water inlet pipe 13 connected sequentially in the water inlet direction. The ball valve 4 is installed on the first water inlet pipe 11; the on / off valve 5 is installed on the third water inlet pipe 13; the monitoring end of the water inlet flow monitor 32 and the monitoring end of the water inlet temperature monitor 33 are both installed inside the second water inlet pipe 12.

[0038] The water outlet channel 2 includes a first water outlet pipe 21, a second water outlet pipe 22, and a third water outlet pipe 23 connected sequentially in the water outlet direction. The one-way valve 6 is installed on the third water outlet pipe 23; the monitoring end of the water outlet flow monitor 34 and the monitoring end of the water outlet temperature monitor 35 are both installed inside the second water outlet pipe 22.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, the water inlet channel 1 and the water outlet channel 2 are arranged in parallel, with the water inlet direction opposite to the water outlet direction. The monitoring mechanism 3 also includes a monitoring box, in which the main control module 31 is installed, and the second water inlet pipe 12 and the second water outlet pipe 22 pass through both ends of the monitoring box.

[0040] When the water unit system is in use, the water unit system and the equipment being used form a loop, and the water flow direction is: external water — first inlet pipe 11 — second inlet pipe 12 — third inlet pipe 13 — equipment being used — first outlet pipe 21 — second outlet pipe 22 — third outlet pipe 23.

[0041] Both the inlet flow rate monitor 32 and the outlet flow rate monitor 34 employ vortex sensors. Both the inlet temperature monitor 33 and the outlet temperature monitor 35 employ temperature sensors. By installing vortex sensors and temperature sensors on the inlet channel 1 and the outlet channel 2, high-precision flow and temperature control can be achieved.

[0042] The monitoring mechanism 3 also includes a display screen 36 connected to the main control module 31. In the water unit system, external water flows into the inlet channel 1. When the water enters the second inlet pipe 12, the inlet flow monitor 32 detects the water flow rate, which can be displayed on the display screen 36, and the inlet temperature monitor 33 detects the water temperature, which can also be displayed on the display screen 36. The water is connected to the device being used through the third inlet pipe 13, and then the device being used forms a loop with the first outlet pipe 21. When the water enters the second outlet pipe 22, the outlet flow monitor 34 detects the water flow rate, which can be displayed on the display screen 36, and the outlet temperature monitor 35 detects the water temperature, which can also be displayed on the display screen 36. Finally, the water flows out from the third outlet pipe 23, forming a working cycle.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of this utility model.
