[0002] In urban water supply systems, the water supply network, like the blood vessels of the human body, bears the heavy responsibility of delivering treated water to thousands of households and is a crucial link in ensuring water supply security. However, with urban development, the water supply network faces numerous challenges, and pipe bursts occur frequently. On the one hand, some urban water supply networks were built a long time ago, with severely aged pipes and degraded material performance, making them highly susceptible to rupture under long-term water flow and pressure. On the other hand, improper operation during construction, natural disasters, and frequent fluctuations in water pressure also greatly increase the risk of pipe bursts. Pipe bursts not only lead to a large waste of water resources, directly affecting residents' daily lives and urban industrial production, but can also cause secondary disasters such as road flooding and foundation collapse, resulting in huge economic losses and social impacts.

[0003] Existing pipe burst prevention and positioning devices are designed for specific pipe diameter ranges, and their structural dimensions and installation methods are incompatible with the interfaces of pipes of different diameters. They cannot be directly installed on pipes of different diameters. Even if some devices are installed, it is difficult to guarantee stability and sealing, resulting in inaccurate monitoring data and easy detachment of the devices, thus failing to effectively perform the function of preventing pipe bursts. Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a pipe burst prevention and positioning device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a positioning device for preventing water supply pipe bursts, including a housing 1, two sets of water pipes 2 are fixedly connected inside the housing 1, the water pipes 2 are connected to the inside of the housing 1, the top of each set of water pipes 2 is fixedly connected to a movable chamber 3, the movable chamber 3 is connected to the water pipe 2, an impeller 4 is rotatably connected inside the movable chamber 3, a detection component 5 is provided on the top of the movable chamber 3, two sets of water supply pipes 6 are attached to the two side surfaces of the housing 1, a connecting component 7 for mutual connection is provided between each set of water supply pipes 6 and the housing 1, and a portable component 8 for carrying and hanging is provided at the bottom of the housing 1.

[0022] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the connecting component 7 includes interfaces 71 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the housing 1. Both sets of interfaces 71 are tapered. Water supply pipes 6 are slidably connected to the outer walls of both sets of interfaces 71. Two sets of fixing blocks 72 are fixedly connected to the front and rear outer walls of the housing 1 on both sides of the movable chamber 3. Rotating rods 73 are rotatably connected to both sets of fixing blocks 72. Torsion springs 74 are rotatably connected to both sets of rotating rods 73. Torsion springs 74 are wound around both ends of the rotating rods 73 in both sets of fixing blocks 72. Threaded rods 75 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the side of the rotating rods 73 away from the housing 1. Mounting seats 76 are fixedly connected to the front and rear surfaces of both sets of water supply pipes 6. The two sets of mounting seats 76 are rotatably connected to the two threaded rods 75 respectively. Self-locking nuts 77 are threadedly connected to both sets of threaded rods 75. Limiting grooves 78 are opened on the outer walls of the mounting seats 76 corresponding to the inner end surfaces of the two sets of self-locking nuts 77. Multiple sets of handles 79 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two sets of self-locking nuts 77.

[0023] Specifically, the water supply pipe 6 is inserted into the interface 71. The restoring force of the torsion spring 74 drives the rotating rod 73 to rotate within the fixed block 72, and simultaneously rotates the threaded rod 75 into the mounting base 76. Then, by rotating the self-locking nut 77 on the threaded rod 75, the self-locking nut 77 rotates into the limiting groove 78. The limiting groove 78 drives the interface 71 to fit tightly with the water supply pipe 6, thereby achieving the purpose of installing water supply pipes 6 of different diameters on the housing 1 for pipe burst location monitoring. This effectively overcomes the problem of mismatch between the interface 71 and water supply pipes 6 of different diameters. With the optimized stable and sealing structure, it ensures that the housing 1 is firmly installed on the water supply pipe 6, avoiding the impact of loosening or falling off on the accuracy of monitoring data, and improving the versatility and practicality of the pipe burst prevention positioning device, greatly improving the monitoring efficiency of the water supply pipe 6.

[0024] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-2As shown, there are two sets of grips 79, both sets of grips 79 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the self-locking nut 77, and both sets of grips 79 are cylindrical in design.

[0025] In practice, this design allows workers to easily rotate the self-locking nut 77 using the handle 79, preventing the self-locking nut 77 from being too tightly screwed onto the threaded rod 75, which could cause the hand to slip during use.

[0026] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, both sets of water supply pipes 6 are fixedly connected to a sealing ring on the side of the housing 1, and the sealing rings are all in contact with the outer wall of the interface 71.

[0027] Specifically, this can increase the sealing between interface 71 and water supply pipe 6, preventing water leakage between water supply pipe 6 and interface 71, thereby affecting the accuracy of the positioning device's monitoring of water supply pipe 6.

[0028] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 2-4 As shown, the portable component 8 includes a fixed base 81 symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the housing 1. A brake rod 82 is rotatably connected inside the fixed base 81. Two sets of rubber rings 83 are glued to both ends of the brake rod 82 on the fixed base 81. A handle 84 is fixedly connected to the rear end surface of the brake rod 82. A hanging hole 85 is provided on the handle 84.

[0029] Specifically, the brake lever 82 rotates within the fixed base 81, causing the brake lever 82 to continuously rub against the inner wall of the fixed base 81, thereby allowing the rubber ring 83 to rotate to any angle and stop. Then, the brake lever 82 causes the rubber ring 83 to rotate out from the bottom surface of the housing 1. Next, a handle 84 is used to facilitate the worker to carry the housing 1, and a hanging hole 85 is used to facilitate the worker to suspend the device.

[0030] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-2 As shown, the handle 84 is designed in the shape of a square or a ring, and the surface of the handle 84 is covered with a non-slip pad.

[0031] Specifically, this design improves the comfort of staff when holding the handle 84, while also providing anti-slip protection to prevent the casing 1 from slipping and falling to the ground and being damaged.

[0032] Working principle: First, rotate the two sets of threaded rods 75, causing the threaded rods 75 to drive the rotating rod 73 to rotate within the interface 71, and causing the fixing block 72 to continuously twist the torsion spring 74. Next, insert the two sets of water supply pipes 6 into the interface 71, and align the threaded rods 75 with the mounting base 76. At this time, the restoring force of the torsion spring 74 causes the rotating rod 73 to reset and rotate within the interface 71, and the threaded rods 75 to rotate into the mounting base 76. Then, by rotating the handle 79, the handle 79 drives the self-locking nut 77 to rotate on the threaded rod 75, and the self-locking nut 77 rotates into the limiting groove 78, simultaneously pressing the inner wall of the limiting groove 78, causing the mounting base 76 to synchronously move. The water supply pipe 6 and the interface 71 are tightly fitted together. During use, tap water flows inside the water supply pipe 6. When the water flows through one of the water pipes 2 into the interior of the movable chamber 3, it drives the impeller 4 to rotate and flows out from the other water pipe 2 into the interior of the water supply pipe 6. The detection component 5 is used to detect the rotation speed of the impeller 4 and transmits the detection result to the peripheral processor. The rotation speed of the impeller 4 reflects the size of the water flow inside the water supply pipe 6, and thus reflects whether the water supply pipe 6 has burst. When the water supply pipe 6 bursts, the water flow behind the burst pipe decreases, and the rotation speed of the impeller 4 decreases relatively. By detecting the rotation speed of the impeller 4 through the detection component 5, the location of the burst in the water supply pipe 6 can be determined.

[0033] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
