[0002] A smart water meter is a new type of water meter that uses modern microelectronics technology, modern sensing technology, and smart IC card technology to measure water consumption, transmit water data, and settle transactions. Compared with traditional water meters, which generally only have the functions of flow collection and mechanical pointer display of water consumption, it is a great improvement. When installing a smart water meter, water supply pipes are connected to both ends to acquire user water consumption data, thereby billing based on water consumption.

[0003] The Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number "CN214748222U" is specifically "a smart water meter". It provides a smart water meter that can upload water meter data to the management system, thereby eliminating the step of manual meter reading and avoiding damage to the water meter due to freezing weather.

[0004] In actual use, when the above-mentioned device leaks due to aging of the seal at the interface between the smart water meter and the water supply pipe, the user cannot detect and deal with it in time. The long-term leakage of water causes waste of water resources. Therefore, we propose a smart water meter data anomaly monitoring device. Utility Model Content

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Reference Figure 1-5 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which discloses a smart water meter data anomaly monitoring device, comprising:

[0031] The main body of the smart water meter 1 has water pipe joints 3 on both the left and right sides, and water supply pipes 4 are installed inside the water pipe joints 3.

[0032] Water flows through one of the water supply pipes 4 into the body of the smart water meter 1, and then into the other water supply pipe 4, where it acquires water supply data under the action of the smart water meter body 1.

[0033] The water leakage collection mechanism 2 includes a collection box 202 located below the main body 1 of the smart water meter. A through hole 207 is provided at the bottom of the collection box 202. A U-shaped bend 206 is fixedly connected to the inside of the through hole 207. A drain pipe 204 communicating with the inside of the U-shaped bend 206 is provided on the outside of the U-shaped bend 206.

[0034] Specifically, the outer side of the collection box 202 is fixedly connected with two symmetrically distributed mounting rods 203, and the outer side of the smart water meter body 1 is fixedly connected with two symmetrically distributed mounting clips 201.

[0035] The end face of the mounting rod 203 is rectangular, the inner side of the mounting buckle 201 is rectangular, and the inner wall of the mounting buckle 201 is adapted to the outer side of the mounting rod 203.

[0036] The installation buckle 201 facilitates the insertion of the installation rod 203, thereby allowing the collection box 202 to be installed below the main body 1 of the smart water meter through the installation rod 203 and the installation buckle 201.

[0037] Specifically, the drain pipe 204 has a thread on the inner side of the end away from the U-shaped bend 206, and a threaded plug 205 is connected to the inner thread of the drain pipe 204.

[0038] The threaded plug 205 seals the bottom of the drain pipe 204. After the user notices the leak through the reminder mechanism 5 and has completed the repair, the user can remove the threaded plug 205 to drain the water from the U-shaped bend 206, making it easier to monitor the leak next time.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] Reference Figure 1-5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the first embodiment in that:

[0041] The reminder mechanism 5 includes a buzzer 501 fixedly installed on the outside of the collection box 202, a float 508 provided at the end of the U-shaped bend 206 away from the collection box 202, a top rod 502 fixedly connected to the outside of the float 508, a U-shaped block 504 fixedly connected to the bottom of the collection box 202, a movable rod 503 movably connected to the inside of the U-shaped block 504 through a pin, a contact element 505 installed on the outside of the movable rod 503, and a contact element 506 provided below the contact element 505.

[0042] The float 508 is circular in design, and its outer side is adapted to the inner wall of the U-shaped bend 206 and slides on the inner wall of the U-shaped bend 206, so that it can be pushed upward under the action of water buoyancy.

[0043] Water leaks into the collection box 202 from the main body 1 of the smart water meter. As the water level rises in the U-shaped bend 206, the float 508 is pushed upward by the buoyancy. The upward movement of the float 508 pushes one end of the movable rod 503 to lift and the other end to move downward through the top rod 502, so that the first contact 505 and the second contact 506 come into contact, and the buzzer 501 is activated.

[0044] Specifically, a U-shaped strip 507 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the collection box 202, and a second contact piece 506 is installed inside the U-shaped strip 507.

[0045] The U-shaped strip 507 is used to install the second contact 506 and to limit the movement range of the movable rod 503, ensuring that the first contact 505 and the second contact 506 can make stable contact, so that the buzzer 501 can work.

[0046] Specifically, a limiting ring 509 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the U-shaped bend 206, and the top of the limiting ring 509 contacts the bottom of the float 508.

[0047] The position of the float 508 can be limited by the limiting ring 509 to prevent the float 508 from entering the depth of the U-shaped bend 206. When the bottom of the float 508 contacts the limiting ring 509, the top of the push rod 502 is connected to the outside of the movable rod 503. When the position of the float 508 rises, the push rod 502 can push the movable rod 503 to lift one end near the push rod 502 upward, so that the other end falls.

[0048] Specifically, the buzzer 501 is electrically connected to contact 505 and contact 506, and a battery for powering the buzzer 501 is provided at the bottom of the collection box 202.

[0049] The battery provides power to the buzzer 501. When contact 505 and contact 506 are in contact, the buzzer 501 is turned on.

[0050] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1.

[0051] The workflow of this utility model is as follows:

[0052] The main body 1 of the smart water meter is installed between two water supply pipes 4, and the water pipe connectors 3 at both ends of the main body 1 of the smart water meter are connected to the water supply pipes 4.

[0053] After the main body 1 of the smart water meter is installed, align the two mounting rods 203 on the outside of the collection box 202 with the corresponding mounting clips 201 and insert them to complete the installation of the collection box 202.

[0054] When water leaks at pipe joint 3 and water supply pipe 4, the leaking water drips downwards under gravity and enters the collection box 202 for collection. As the leaking water accumulates, it enters the U-shaped bend 206 through the through hole 207. As the water level in the U-shaped bend 206 rises, it pushes the float 508 upwards. The upward movement of the float 508 pushes one end of the movable rod 503 upwards through the top rod 502. Under the action of the U-shaped block 504 and the pin, the other end of the movable rod 503 moves downwards until the first contact 505 and the second contact 506 make contact. At this time, the buzzer 501 works and sounds to remind the user, making it easier for the user to detect the leak in time.

[0055] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
