Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water meter technology, specifically to a water meter with uniform flow velocity and timeliness. Background Technology

[0002] A water meter is an instrument used to measure water flow. Most of them measure the cumulative flow of water. They are generally divided into two categories: volumetric water meters and velocity water meters. Water meters have been developed for nearly two hundred years. When selecting a water meter, you should first estimate the size and range of the flow you usually use, and then choose the water meter with the closest commonly used flow rate as your first choice.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent discloses a water meter with water quality detection function (publication number: CN115900843A). This device effectively ensures water safety and, by having a control terminal, can send alarms when water quality is abnormal, facilitating timely handling of related issues. Furthermore, by connecting the return pipe and the diversion pipe, the detection tube containing the water quality sensor is independently positioned on the outside of the water meter body, inlet pipe, and outlet pipe. This avoids the impact of excessively fast water flow on the water quality sensor when it is directly placed inside the water meter body, inlet pipe, or outlet pipe, thus ensuring the accuracy and stability of the water quality detection. To a certain extent, this ensures the safety of indoor water use after the device is installed. While this patent helps ensure the accuracy and stability of the water quality sensor, it does not alleviate the water pressure in the internal sensing pipes of the water meter. This can lead to increased water pressure inside the meter pipes when the water flow is fast, making it impossible to control the uniformity of the water flow inside the meter, thereby affecting normal use by the user. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water meter with uniform flow velocity and timeliness, which has the advantage of being able to control the uniform flow velocity of the water inside the water meter, thus solving the problem of not being able to control the uniform flow velocity of the water inside the water meter.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a water meter with uniform flow velocity and timeliness, comprising:

[0006] Water meter;

[0007] Connecting pipes are installed at the top and bottom of the water meter;

[0008] Diversion pipes are installed on both sides of the water meter;

[0009] A blocking mechanism includes a sealing ring fixedly connected inside a diversion pipe. A blocking plate is movably connected inside the sealing ring. A guide plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the blocking plate. A limit plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the guide plate. A positioning plate is provided on the left side of the limit plate. The top and bottom of the positioning plate are respectively connected to the top and bottom of the inner wall of the diversion pipe.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This utility model, by setting a blocking mechanism, can block the diversion pipe. When the water pressure in the water meter is too high, the blocking mechanism is opened, and the water inside the water meter is diverted through the diversion pipe, reducing the water pressure inside the water meter. By reducing the water pressure inside the water meter, the water flow rate is reduced, so that the water flow rate inside the water meter is uniform.

[0018] 3. This utility model can fix the transparent plate by setting a connecting mechanism. The user pushes the push rod, which drives the sliding plates to move closer together. The sliding plates drive the locking rod to move closer together, while compressing the fixing spring. Then the transparent plate is inserted into the water meter indicator. After completion, the push rod is released, and the fixing spring resets the sliding plates. The sliding plates drive the locking rod to insert into the water meter indicator, thus fixing the transparent plate. Attached Figure Description

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a uniform flow velocity and timeliness water meter, comprising:

[0027] Water meter 1 has a built-in water flow sensor and water pressure sensor;

[0028] Connecting pipe 2 is installed at the top and bottom of water meter 1;

[0031] refer to Figure 1 The water meter 1 includes a housing 101, with connecting pipes 102 connected to both sides of the housing 101. A water meter indicator 103 is movably installed on the front of the housing 101. A transparent plate 104 is movably connected to the front of the water meter indicator 103 via a hinge. A connecting mechanism 5 is provided on the right side of the transparent plate 104.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a water meter 1, the water flow rate and water pressure can be detected. The user installs the connecting pipe 102 on both sides of the outer casing 101, and then installs the water meter indicator 103 on the front of the outer casing 101. After completion, the transparent plate 104 is installed on the front of the water meter indicator 103. The water flow rate and water pressure inside the outer casing 101 are displayed on the bottom of the water meter indicator 103.

[0033] refer to Figure 5The connecting mechanism 5 includes a push rod 51, which is located at the top and bottom of the right side of the transparent plate 104. The back of the push rod 51 passes through the transparent plate 104 and extends into the interior of the transparent plate 104. A sliding plate 52 is fixedly connected thereto. A fixing spring 53 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the sliding plate 52. A horizontal plate 54 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixing spring 53 away from the sliding plate 52. The surface of the horizontal plate 54 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the transparent plate 104. A locking rod 55 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the sliding plate 52. The side of the locking rod 55 away from the sliding plate 52 passes through the transparent plate 104 and extends into the interior of the water meter indicator 103.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the transparent plate 104 can be fixed by setting the connecting mechanism 5. The user pushes the push rod 51, which drives the sliding plate 52 to move closer together. The sliding plate 52 drives the locking rod 55 to move closer together, while compressing the fixing spring 53. Then, the transparent plate 104 is inserted into the water meter indicator 103. After completion, the push rod 51 is released, and the fixing spring 53 resets the sliding plate 52. The sliding plate 52 drives the locking rod 55 to insert into the water meter indicator 103, thus fixing the transparent plate 104.

[0035] refer to Figure 1 The connecting pipe 2 includes a connecting plate 21, which is movably installed on the top and bottom of the housing 101. A guide pipe 22 is connected to the outside of the connecting plate 21, and a fixing ring 23 is fixedly connected to the side of the guide pipe 22 away from the connecting plate 21.

[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up a connecting pipe 2, the water meter 1 can be connected to the pipe. The user installs the connecting plate 21 on the top and bottom of the water meter 1, and the water meter 1 guides the water flow inside the water meter 1 through the connecting plate 21 and the guide pipe 22.

[0037] refer to Figure 4 The top and bottom of the guide plate 43 are fixedly connected to sliders 6, and the top and bottom of the inner wall of the diversion pipe 3 are provided with grooves 7, which are slidably connected to sliders 6.

[0038] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the slider 6 and the groove 7, the guide plate 43 can be positioned to prevent the guide plate 43 from wobbling back and forth when moving.

[0039] refer to Figure 5 Guide blocks 8 are fixedly connected to both sides of the sliding plate 52, and guide grooves 9 are opened on both sides of the top and bottom of the inner wall of the transparent plate 104. The guide blocks 8 are slidably connected to the guide grooves 9.

[0040] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the guide block 8 and the guide groove 9, the sliding plate 52 can be positioned to prevent the sliding plate 52 from shifting when moving.

[0041] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the user installs the connecting pipe 102 on both sides of the outer casing 101, and then installs the water meter indicator 103 on the front of the outer casing 101. After completion, the user pushes the push rod 51, causing the sliding plates 52 to move closer together. The sliding plates 52 then cause the locking rods 55 to move closer together, simultaneously compressing the fixing spring 53. Next, the transparent plate 104 is inserted into the water meter indicator 103. After completion, the user releases the push rod 51, and the fixing spring 53 resets the sliding plates 52. The sliding plates 52 then cause the locking rods 55 to insert into the water meter indicator 103, fixing the transparent plate 104 and protecting the water meter indicator 103. The water meter indicator 103 displays the water flow rate and water pressure inside the outer casing 101. When the flow rate inside the outer casing 101 is too fast, the pressure inside the outer casing 101 increases, and some of the water inside the outer casing 101 flows out. Inside the diversion pipe 3, the water pressure forces the blocking plate 42 and the sealing ring 41 apart. The blocking plate 42, guided by the guide plate 43, compresses the reset spring 46, allowing water to be discharged from inside the outer shell 101 through the diversion pipe 3, thus reducing the water pressure inside the outer shell 101 and slowing down the water flow rate. When the water flow rate inside the outer shell 101 is normal, the reset spring 46 drives the blocking plate 42 to reset. The blocking plate 42, guided by the guide plate 43, moves the limiting plate 44 inward, causing the limiting plate 44 to contact the positioning plate 45. The positioning plate 45 limits the limiting plate 44, and the limiting plate 44, guided by the guide plate 43, positions the blocking plate 42, preventing the blocking plate 42 from passing through the sealing ring 41. This seals the diversion pipe 3 with the blocking plate 42 and the sealing ring 41, preventing the water inside the outer shell 101 from being diverted, thereby ensuring a uniform water flow rate inside the outer shell 101.

[0042] In summary, this uniform flow rate and timely water meter, by setting up a blocking mechanism 4, can block the diversion pipe 3. When the water pressure in the water meter 1 is too high, the blocking mechanism 4 is opened, and the water inside the water meter 1 is diverted through the diversion pipe 3, reducing the water pressure inside the water meter 1. By reducing the water pressure inside the water meter 1, the water flow rate is reduced, making the water flow rate uniform when it flows out of the water meter. When the water flow rate is fast, it will not increase the water pressure inside the water meter pipe. It can control the water flow rate inside the water meter to be uniform, thereby ensuring normal use by the user.
