Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water tap technology, and in particular to a smart lock device for water taps. Background Technology

[0002] In urban infrastructure construction and management, water taps are important water supply facilities and are widely used in various fields such as municipal administration, sanitation and greening. However, traditional water taps face many problems in use and management, which has prompted the research and development and application of smart lock devices for water taps. Due to the lack of effective supervision methods for traditional water taps, unauthorized water tapping occurs from time to time. Some individuals and units open water taps privately for their own production and domestic water use in order to save costs, resulting in a large amount of water resources being wasted and also causing economic losses to water supply companies.

[0003] High-pressure water from the water supply pipeline drives a hydraulic actuator to control the opening and closing of a butterfly valve. For example, Wuhan's smart water hydrant uses a single-cylinder gear and rack structure, utilizing water pressure difference to achieve rapid valve response. However, current water hydrants lack intelligent unlocking methods such as card swiping and mobile phone scanning, requiring users to use traditional keys, which is prone to loss or damage, inconvenient for daily use, and increases the time and cost of water collection. Furthermore, unauthorized personnel can operate the hydrant at will, leading to water waste or safety hazards. Management personnel cannot monitor the equipment's status in real time, and manual unlocking is required in emergencies, resulting in low response efficiency and thus reducing the effectiveness of the water hydrant. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a smart lock device for water taps, aiming to improve the existing technology where water taps lack intelligent unlocking methods, such as card swiping and mobile phone scanning, which require water users to use traditional keys to unlock the taps, easily leading to key loss. At the same time, unauthorized personnel can operate the taps at will, resulting in water waste and safety hazards.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a smart lock device for water taps, comprising a cap body, a motor fixing plate fixedly connected to the top right end of the inner side of the cap body, a motor fixedly connected to the top center of the motor fixing plate, a locking plate fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a round head screw threadedly connected to the bottom of each locking plate, a valve stem provided on the outer wall of the locking plate, a flange provided on the bottom inner side of the cap body, a valve stem baffle provided at the bottom center of the cap body, and an internal hexagon screw provided at the bottom of the valve stem baffle.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] Two hexagonal screws are provided on the top left side of the flange.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The flange is threaded with three internal hexagonal screws on its outer wall.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The bottom of each motor mounting plate is threaded with two round-head screws.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] A rotating handle is engaged at the top center of the cap.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] Multiple hex socket head cap screws 3 and 2 are threaded together at the same horizontal level.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. In this utility model, when the valve is locked, the locking plate is in a groove on the valve stem. After the locking plate is embedded in the groove, the motor self-locks and stabilizes its position. At this time, the handle of the rotating wrench is blocked by the locking plate and cannot be inserted, so the valve stem cannot be rotated. When it is necessary to unlock, the motor rotates 90 degrees, turning the locking plate to the designated position. With the rotating wrench handle inserted without obstruction, the valve stem can be rotated normally. Therefore, it achieves intelligent operation, reduces manual intervention, facilitates operation, and improves convenience. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a smart lock device for water taps, including a cap body 1, a motor fixing plate 6 fixedly connected to the top right end of the inner side of the cap body 1, a motor 5 fixedly connected to the top center of the motor fixing plate 6, a locking plate 3 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 5, a round head screw 4 threadedly connected to the bottom of the locking plate 3, a valve stem 2 provided on the outer wall of the locking plate 3, a flange 8 provided on the bottom inner side of the cap body 1, a valve stem baffle 9 provided on the bottom center of the cap body 1, and an internal hexagon screw 10 provided on the bottom of the valve stem baffle 9.

[0025] Specifically, the cap body 1 is made of high-strength stainless steel or aluminum alloy, providing sufficient stability and durability. The internal space of the cap body 1 is designed so that a motor mounting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top right end of the inner side of the cap body 1 using bolts. The motor 5 is fixedly connected to the top center of the motor mounting plate 6. The motor 5 is tightly connected to the motor mounting plate 6 by bolts to ensure that the motor 5 will not loosen due to vibration during operation. The motor 5 is a high-performance servo motor with precise speed control and large torque output, meeting the needs of different working conditions and ensuring the coaxiality of the locking plate 3 and the output shaft of the motor 5. The locking plate 3 is made of high-strength alloy steel, giving it high hardness and wear resistance, allowing for a tight fit with the valve stem 2.

[0026] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 The outer wall of the flange 8 is threaded with a hexagon socket screw 312, the top left side of the flange 8 is provided with a hexagon socket screw 21, the bottom of the motor mounting plate 6 is threaded with a round head screw 27, the top center of the cap 1 is engaged with a rotating handle 13, and multiple hexagon socket screws 312 and hexagon socket screws 211 are threaded at the same horizontal height.

[0027] Specifically, a motor mounting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top right end of the inner side of the cap body 1 by bolts. Several threaded holes are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the flange 8. These threaded holes are internally connected to hexagon socket head cap screws 12 and 11, which may be used to fix some components on the flange 8 to ensure the stability and sealing of the flange 8 during the connection process. The round head screw 7, through its engagement with the threaded hole at the bottom of the inner side of the cap body 1, tightly fixes the motor mounting plate 6 to the cap body 1. The rotation angle and force of the handle 13 correspond to the opening degree of the valve, and the operator can precisely control the opening degree of the valve according to actual needs.

[0028] Working principle: When locked, the locking plate 3 is in the groove on the valve stem 2. After the locking plate 3 is embedded in the groove, the motor 5 self-locks and stabilizes its position. At this time, the handle 13 of the rotating wrench is blocked by the locking plate 3 and cannot be inserted, so the valve stem 2 cannot be rotated. When unlocking is required, after sending an unlocking signal via card swiping, Bluetooth, or APP, the motor 5 rotates 90 degrees, turning the locking plate 3 to the designated position. With the rotating wrench handle 13 inserted without obstruction, the valve stem 2 can be rotated normally. Therefore, it achieves intelligent operation, reduces manual intervention, facilitates operation, and improves convenience.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
