[0022] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] A detachable remote water meter includes a remote water meter body 1, which is provided in two sets. A connecting pipe 2 is provided between the two sets of remote water meter bodies 1. A symmetrical conveying pipe 3 is fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting pipe 2. The inlet and outlet ends of the two sets of remote water meter bodies 1 are fixedly connected to the ends of the conveying pipe 3 through flanges 4. A first switch valve 5 is provided on the connecting pipe 2, and a second switch valve 6 is provided on each of the conveying pipes 3.

[0025] In use, the two ends of the connecting pipe 2 are connected to the water supply pipe. The switch valve 5 on the connecting pipe 2 is closed to block the direct water flow in the connecting pipe 2. The switch valve 6 on one side of the delivery pipe 3 is opened, and the switch valve 6 on the other side of the delivery pipe 3 is closed. At this time, after the water flows from the water supply pipe into the connecting pipe 2, it will flow into the corresponding side of the delivery pipe 3 through the opened switch valve 6. The remote water meter body 1 on that side completes the flow measurement and water consumption data collection and remote transmission. When it is necessary to disassemble and repair the remote water meter body 1 on that side, the switch valve 6 on the delivery pipe 3 on that side is closed, and the switch valve 6 on the other side of the delivery pipe 3 is opened at the same time, so that the water flow is switched to the other side of the delivery pipe 3 and the remote water meter body 1. Then the flange 4 is disassembled, and the remote water meter body 1 on that side can be disassembled and repaired without interrupting the water supply.

[0026] This detachable remote water meter, through the alternating design of two sets of detachable remote water meter bodies 1, can automatically switch to the other set of remote water meter bodies 1 for metering and detection when one set of remote water meter bodies 1 is disassembled. This not only ensures the continuous smooth flow of water and avoids water outages for users due to equipment maintenance, but also ensures the continuous collection and remote transmission of water usage data without interruption, significantly improving the flexibility and efficiency of equipment operation and maintenance. The overall structure of the device is simple and highly practical.

[0027] Switch valve 26 is configured as an electric type;

[0028] The second switch valve 6 on the delivery pipe 3 adopts an electric design, which integrates an electric drive structure. When it is necessary to switch the remote water meter body 1, the electric drive structure receives the switching signal and acts to drive the valve core of the second switch valve 6 to complete the opening and closing operation. Automatic switching can be achieved by closing the second switch valve 6 on one side and opening the second switch valve 6 on the other side without manual adjustment, ensuring that the water flow can be quickly switched from one side of the delivery pipe 3 to the other side of the delivery pipe 3, and ensuring the continuity when the remote water meter body 1 is used alternately.

[0029] The inner diameter of connecting pipe 2 is compatible with the inner diameter of conveying pipe 3;

[0030] The inner diameter of the connecting pipe 2 is compatible with the inner diameter of the delivery pipe 3. When water flows from the connecting pipe 2 into the delivery pipe 3, since the inner diameters of the two are the same, the water flow will not produce obvious sudden changes in flow velocity or turbulence at the point of cross-sectional change, and can maintain a stable flow state. This avoids water flow disturbance caused by pipe diameter differences, thereby ensuring that the remote water meter body 1 is less affected by water flow fluctuations during the metering process and ensuring the accuracy of water consumption data collection.

[0031] Both ends of the connecting pipe 2 are fixedly connected to external threaded pipes 7;

[0032] Both ends of the connecting pipe 2 are fixedly connected to external threaded pipes 7. The ends of the water supply pipes are usually provided with internal threads. During installation, the external threaded pipes 7 at both ends of the connecting pipe 2 are aligned with the internal threads of the water supply pipe. The external threads and internal threads are tightly engaged by tightening, thus achieving easy installation of the connecting pipe 2.

[0033] A controller 8 is installed on the connecting pipe 2, and the controller 8 is electrically connected to the switching valve 6.

[0034] A controller 8 is provided on the connecting pipe 2. The controller 8 is electrically connected to the second switching valve 6 and can drive the second switching valve 6 to automatically switch between each other.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] In use, the two ends of the connecting pipe 2 are connected to the water supply pipe. The switch valve 5 on the connecting pipe 2 is closed to block the direct water flow in the connecting pipe 2. The switch valve 6 on one side of the delivery pipe 3 is opened, and the switch valve 6 on the other side of the delivery pipe 3 is closed. At this time, after the water flows from the water supply pipe into the connecting pipe 2, it will flow into the corresponding side of the delivery pipe 3 through the opened switch valve 6. The remote water meter body 1 on that side completes the flow measurement and water consumption data collection and remote transmission. When it is necessary to disassemble and repair the remote water meter body 1 on that side, the switch valve 6 on the delivery pipe 3 on that side is closed, and the switch valve 6 on the other side of the delivery pipe 3 is opened at the same time, so that the water flow is switched to the other side of the delivery pipe 3 and the remote water meter body 1. Then the flange 4 is disassembled, and the remote water meter body 1 on that side can be disassembled and repaired without interrupting the water supply.

[0037] This detachable remote water meter, through the alternating design of two sets of detachable remote water meter bodies 1, can automatically switch to the other set of remote water meter bodies 1 for metering and detection when one set of remote water meter bodies 1 is disassembled. This not only ensures the continuous smooth flow of water and avoids water outages for users due to equipment maintenance, but also ensures the continuous collection and remote transmission of water usage data without interruption, significantly improving the flexibility and efficiency of equipment operation and maintenance. The overall structure of the device is simple and highly practical.

[0038] in,

[0039] The second switch valve 6 on the delivery pipe 3 adopts an electric design and integrates an electric drive structure. When it is necessary to switch the remote water meter body 1, the electric drive structure receives the switching signal and acts to drive the valve core of the second switch valve 6 to complete the opening and closing operation. Automatic switching can be achieved by closing one side of the second switch valve 6 and opening the other side without manual adjustment, ensuring that the water flow can be quickly switched from one side of the delivery pipe 3 to the other side of the delivery pipe 3, and ensuring the continuity when the remote water meter body 1 is used alternately.

[0040] The inner diameter of the connecting pipe 2 is compatible with the inner diameter of the delivery pipe 3. When water flows from the connecting pipe 2 into the delivery pipe 3, since the inner diameters of the two are the same, the water flow will not produce obvious sudden changes in flow velocity or turbulence at the point of cross-sectional change, and can maintain a stable flow state, avoiding water flow disturbance caused by pipe diameter difference. This ensures that the remote water meter body 1 is less affected by water flow fluctuation during the metering process, and ensures the accuracy of water consumption data collection.

[0041] Both ends of the connecting pipe 2 are fixedly connected to external threaded pipes 7. The ends of the water supply pipe are usually provided with internal threads. During installation, the external threaded pipes 7 at both ends of the connecting pipe 2 are aligned with the internal threads of the water supply pipe. The external threads and internal threads are tightly engaged by tightening, thus achieving easy installation of the connecting pipe 2.

[0042] A controller 8 is provided on the connecting pipe 2. The controller 8 is electrically connected to the second switching valve 6 and can drive the second switching valve 6 to automatically switch between each other.
