Description

A water meter antifreeze and heat preservation device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water meter technology, and specifically relates to an antifreeze and heat preservation device for water meters. Background Technology

[0002] Outdoor water meters are typically insulated during winter to prevent freezing damage. While existing anti-freeze insulation devices for water meters meet the basic requirements for freezing and insulation, and allow for flexible removal or removal of panel obstructions—allowing users to read the meter readings while preventing dust contamination from constant exposure—they lack a convenient way for users to easily remove the panel when needed. For example, if frost or fog forms on the panel during use, users cannot quickly remove it to read the data. Instead, they must first defrost or defog the panel while it is in use, or disassemble the entire device before reading the meter, causing significant inconvenience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, this utility model addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing an antifreeze and heat preservation device for water meters. It not only meets the basic requirements for antifreeze and heat preservation of water meters, but also allows users to easily remove the panel when needed, so that the water meter reading can still be read quickly and conveniently when the panel is covered with frost or fog.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a water meter antifreeze and heat preservation device, including a first heat preservation sleeve fitted on one side of the water meter, and a second heat preservation sleeve fitted on the other side of the water meter. The first heat preservation sleeve is also provided with a first extended heat preservation sleeve fitted on one side of the water pipe, and the second heat preservation sleeve is also provided with a second extended heat preservation sleeve fitted on the other side of the water pipe. The connection between the first heat preservation sleeve and the second heat preservation sleeve is fixed by connecting bolts. The upper ends of the first heat preservation sleeve and the second heat preservation sleeve are screwed together with a heat preservation cover. A transparent observation window is detachably provided on the heat preservation cover, and a heat preservation cover is movably provided on the heat preservation cover and covers the outside of the transparent observation window.

[0005] As a further improvement of this utility model, an insulation mounting cylinder is provided on the insulation cover and fitted outside the transparent observation window. The insulation cover is screwed to the insulation mounting cylinder, and the insulation cover is also provided with a first anti-slip groove. Through the first anti-slip groove, the worker can easily rotate and adjust the insulation cover, thereby achieving flexible fixation between the insulation cover and the insulation mounting cylinder.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the insulation cover is also provided with a second anti-slip texture. The second anti-slip texture optimizes the operating feel and improves the convenience for users to disassemble and assemble the insulation cover in cold environments; and can effectively prevent the insulation cover from rotating on its own during the process of twisting the insulation cover.

[0007] As a further improvement to this utility model, the transparent observation window is screwed to the top of the insulation cover, and a turning handle is also provided on the side of the transparent observation window. Turning the handle allows users to quickly disassemble and clean the observation window without affecting normal use.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the connection between the first extended insulation sleeve and the second extended insulation sleeve is fixed by fastening bolts. This ensures the stability of the overall structure and allows users to easily adjust the length or replace damaged parts according to actual conditions.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, a first movable handle is also provided on the first insulation sleeve, and a second movable handle is also provided on the second insulation sleeve.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, a connecting slot is also provided on the first insulation sleeve, and a connecting plate that engages with the connecting slot is also provided on the second insulation sleeve.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] Firstly, the insulation cover and insulation cap can be flexibly fixed to achieve or remove dust protection for the transparent observation window. When the transparent observation window is affected by frost or fogging, making it difficult to read the water meter through it, simply remove the insulation cover first, and then remove the transparent observation window.

[0013] Secondly, through the snap-fit ​​of the connecting slot and the connecting plate, the first insulation sleeve and the second insulation sleeve can be initially fixed after being spliced ​​together, so that the user does not need to take additional measures to fix the first insulation sleeve and the second insulation sleeve when installing and disassembling the connecting bolts.

[0020] To better understand this utility model, the following embodiments further illustrate its content, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the embodiments described below. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a more thorough understanding of this utility model. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model can be practiced without one or more of these details.

[0021] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, a water meter antifreeze and heat preservation device includes a first heat preservation sleeve 101 sleeved on one side of the water meter and a second heat preservation sleeve 102 sleeved on the other side of the water meter. The first heat preservation sleeve 101 is also provided with a first extended heat preservation sleeve 103 sleeved on one side of the water pipe, and the second heat preservation sleeve 102 is also provided with a second extended heat preservation sleeve 104 sleeved on the other side of the water pipe. The connection between the first heat preservation sleeve 101 and the second heat preservation sleeve 102 is fixed by a connecting bolt 105. The connecting bolt 105 is screwed onto the first heat preservation sleeve 101, and the second heat preservation sleeve 102 is provided with a threaded connection hole for screwing onto the connecting bolt 105.

[0022] The upper ends of the first insulation sleeve 101 and the second insulation sleeve 102 are screwed together with an insulation cover 106. A transparent observation window 107 is detachably provided on the insulation cover 106. An insulation cover 108 is also movably provided on the insulation cover 106 and covers the outside of the transparent observation window 107.

[0023] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, an insulation mounting cylinder 109 is provided on the insulation cover 106 and fitted outside the transparent observation window 107. The insulation cover 108 is screwed to the insulation mounting cylinder 109. The insulation cover 108 is also provided with a first anti-slip groove 110. Through the first anti-slip groove 110, workers can quickly and easily rotate and adjust the insulation cover 108, and easily rotate the insulation cover 108 onto the insulation mounting cylinder 109, or remove it from the insulation mounting cylinder 109.

[0024] Workers can first place the first insulation sleeve 101 on one side of the water meter and the first extended insulation sleeve 103 on one side of the water pipe. Then, they can place the second insulation sleeve 102 on the other side of the water meter and the second extended insulation sleeve 104 on the other side of the water pipe, so that the first insulation sleeve 101 and the second insulation sleeve 102 are joined together, and the first extended insulation sleeve 103 and the second extended insulation sleeve 104 are joined together. Then, the connecting bolt 105 is driven through the first insulation sleeve 101 and screwed into the threaded connection hole, thereby achieving flexible fixation of the first insulation sleeve 101 and the second insulation sleeve 102. Finally, the insulation cover 106 is screwed into the upper end of the first insulation sleeve 101 and the second insulation sleeve 102.

[0025] The insulation sleeve is screwed into the insulation installation cylinder 109, which completes the assembly of the device and provides dust protection for the transparent observation window 107.

[0026] Afterwards, simply unscrew the insulation cover 108 from the insulation mounting cylinder 109, and the water meter reading can be read directly through the transparent observation window 107. When the transparent observation window 107 is affected by frost or fogging, the water meter reading can be read directly by simply removing the transparent observation window 107 from the insulation cover 106.

[0027] According to another embodiment of this utility model, as shown in Figure 1, the heat insulation cover 106 is further provided with a second anti-slip texture 111. Through the second anti-slip texture 111, the user can easily rotate and adjust the heat insulation cover 106, thereby conveniently fixing or releasing the connection between the heat insulation cover 106 and the first heat insulation sleeve 101 and the second heat insulation sleeve 102; and effectively preventing the heat insulation cover 106 from rotating independently during the process of rotating the heat insulation cover 108.

[0028] According to another embodiment of this utility model, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the transparent observation window 107 is screwed to the top of the heat insulation cover 106. The top of the heat insulation cover 106 has a threaded mounting hole, and the side end of the transparent observation window 107 has an external mounting thread that engages with the threaded mounting hole. A turning handle 201 is also provided on the side end of the transparent observation window 107. By turning the handle 201, the user can easily adjust the transparent observation window 107, thereby conveniently achieving or releasing the flexible fixation between the transparent observation window 107 and the heat insulation cover 106.

[0029] According to another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 1, the connection between the first extended insulation sleeve 103 and the second extended insulation sleeve 104 is fixed by a fastening bolt 202. The fastening bolt 202 is screwed onto the first extended insulation sleeve 103, and the second extended insulation sleeve 104 has a threaded fastening hole for screwing onto the fastening bolt 202. After the first extended insulation sleeve 103 and the second extended insulation sleeve 104 are joined together, the fastening bolt 202 can pass through the first extended insulation sleeve 103 and be screwed onto the threaded fastening hole, thereby improving the connection strength between the first extended insulation sleeve 103 and the second extended insulation sleeve 104.

[0030] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a first movable handle is further provided on the first insulation sleeve 101, and a second movable handle is further provided on the second insulation sleeve 102. The first movable handle allows for convenient movement of the first insulation sleeve 101, and the second movable handle allows for convenient movement of the second insulation sleeve 102, thereby facilitating the connection or disconnection of the first insulation sleeve 101 and the second insulation sleeve 102.

[0031] According to another embodiment of this utility model, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the first insulation sleeve 101 is further provided with a connecting slot 203, and the second insulation sleeve 102 is further provided with a connecting plate 204 that engages with the connecting slot 203. Through the engaging cooperation of the connecting slot 203 and the connecting plate 204, initial fixation can be achieved after the first insulation sleeve 101 and the second insulation sleeve 102 are joined together. This eliminates the need for additional fixing of the first insulation sleeve 101 and the second insulation sleeve 102 when installing and removing the connecting bolts 105.

[0032] The above are preferred embodiments of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
