Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water meter accessories technology, specifically to a metal gear box for a water meter. Background Technology

[0002] The working principle of a water meter is mainly based on measuring the water volume by the rotational or vortex frequency of water flowing through the measuring device. When water enters the flow meter through the inlet, it flows through an independently rotating shaft, causing the rotor in the measuring mechanism to rotate. The measured rotation angle or speed is proportional to the flow rate, and thus the amount of water flowing can be calculated. The rotor's rotation drives the pointer on the dial to rotate through a gear set in a metal gearbox, thereby achieving measurement.

[0003] The existing metal gearbox of water meters cannot improve the stability of the rotating shaft and the detection impeller. After long-term use, it is prone to shaking, which reduces the detection accuracy. In addition, the overall structure is not convenient for installation and disassembly, making maintenance inconvenient and time-consuming. Summary of the Invention

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] The metal gearbox in the water meter improves the stability of the rotating shaft 8 and the detection impeller 7, preventing them from shaking after prolonged use and enhancing detection accuracy. Furthermore, the overall structure facilitates installation and disassembly, simplifying maintenance and saving manpower and resources. Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides a water meter metal gearbox, comprising a water meter housing 1, a detection cover 6, a metal gearbox 10, and a glass protective cover 12. The water meter housing 1 has an inlet pipe 3 and an outlet pipe 4 connected to its two sides respectively. The detection cover 6 is fitted inside the water meter housing 1, and the metal gearbox 10 is mounted on the top of the detection cover 6 via a connecting flange 13 and connecting screws 14. A rotating shaft 8 is provided inside the detection cover 6, and detection impellers 7 are mounted at equal intervals on the outside of the rotating shaft 8 via screws.

[0024] The top of the rotating shaft 8 is fitted with a detection gear 9. The bottom of the detection cover 6 is welded with a stabilizing bushing 17 and the bottom end of the rotating shaft 8 is located inside the stabilizing bushing 17. The top of the metal gear box 10 is fitted with a dial 11 by screws. The top of the water meter housing 1 and the upper end of the dial 11 are fitted with a glass protective cover 12.

[0025] When in use, the metal gear box of the water meter can improve the stability of the rotating shaft 8 and the detection impeller 7, making it less prone to shaking after long-term use, thus improving the detection accuracy. In addition, the overall structure is easy to install and disassemble, making maintenance convenient and saving manpower and resources.

[0026] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the present invention also includes an external thread 2 on the outer side of the top of the water meter housing 1 and an internal thread corresponding to the external thread 2 on the inner wall of the glass protective cover 12.

[0027] When in use, the external thread 2 and the corresponding internal thread make it easy to screw the glass protective cover 12 onto the top of the water meter housing 1, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0028] For example, such as Figure 1 , 2As shown, the present invention also includes a mating screw hole 16 provided on the bottom periphery of the metal gear box 10 and directly opposite the mating screw 14.

[0029] In use, the mating screw hole 16 facilitates the screwing of the mating screw 14 on the mating flange 13 into the mating screw hole 16 to fix the metal gear box 10 and the detection cover 6 to each other.

[0030] For example, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the present invention also includes a plug hole 15 provided at the bottom axis of the metal gear box 10, and the detection gear 9 passes through the plug hole 15 and meshes with the gear set inside the metal gear box 10.

[0031] When in use, the detection gear 9 meshes with the gear set inside the metal gearbox 10, thereby driving the pointer inside the dial 11 to rotate.

[0032] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the present invention also includes a sleeve interface at the end of the water inlet pipe 3 and the water outlet pipe 4, and water inlets 5 are provided at equal intervals on the outer side of the detection cover 6.

[0033] When in use, the sleeves at the ends of the inlet pipe 3 and the outlet pipe 4 are convenient to be connected to the water delivery pipe. The water flows into the detection cover 6 from the inlet 5, driving the detection impeller 7 to rotate.

[0034] When in use, the inlet pipe 3 and outlet pipe 4 are connected to the water delivery pipe by means of the sleeve interface at the end. Water flows into the detection cover 6 from the inlet 5 and drives the detection impeller 7 to rotate. Since the detection gear 9 and the gear set in the metal gear box 10 mesh, the pointer in the dial 11 rotates.

[0035] Since the detection cover 6 is fixed to the bottom of the metal gear box 10 by the docking flange 13 and docking screws 14, the stability of the rotating shaft 8 and the detection impeller 7 can be improved, and they are less likely to shake after long-term use, thus improving the accuracy of detection.

[0036] The glass protective cover 12 is snapped onto the top of the water meter casing 1 to prevent the dial 11 from being bumped. The overall structure is easy to install and disassemble, convenient for maintenance, and saves manpower and resources.
