Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hot water supply testing, and in particular to a device for detecting microorganisms in hot water supply. Background Technology

[0002] For hot water supply systems, such as those used in homes or industries, microbial contamination, such as Legionella bacteria, can be a problem. Testing equipment needs to be able to quickly and accurately detect microorganisms in the water to ensure water quality safety.

[0003] 1. The core function of detecting microorganisms inside a hot water supply system is to ensure water safety and system health, specifically manifested in:

[0004] 2. Preventing the risk of disease: Killing thermophilic pathogens such as Legionella and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, avoiding respiratory infections or skin diseases;

[0005] 3. Maintain system efficiency: Inhibit biofilm formation and prevent pipe corrosion, blockage, and decreased thermal efficiency.

[0006] A search revealed patent publication number CN219314934U, which discloses a rapid sampling device for microbial detection. This device includes a sleeve and a sampling component housed within the sleeve. The sampling component includes a sliding rod with a swab wound around its end. A stop plate is fixedly fitted onto the sliding rod, and a spring is connected in series with it. An L-shaped rod is mounted on the tail end of the sliding rod and slidably installed within the sleeve. The rapid sampling device for microbial detection provided by this invention allows for immediate sealing and preservation of the swab after sampling, eliminating the need for staff to search for test tubes after swab collection, significantly reducing the workload of sampling.

[0007] While existing technologies can achieve certain detection effects on microorganisms in hot water supply pipes, they suffer from drawbacks such as inconvenient installation and difficult maintenance. This leads to repeated disassembly and maintenance over long periods, wasting resources. Therefore, we propose a hot water supply microorganism detection device that solves these problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing a device for detecting microorganisms in hot water supply.

[0009] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a hot water microbial detection device, comprising a mounting column, a rotating ring and a mounting plate, wherein the rotating ring is rotatably mounted on both sides of the mounting column, and mounting seats are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the inner wall of the mounting column. The inner wall of the mounting seat is provided with a slot, and the mounting plate is inserted into the slot. The mounting plate is provided with a detector.

[0010] When using this device, the heating pipe is cut open, and the mounting column is placed between the two pipes. Then, the rotating ring is rotated, and the pipes on both sides are squeezed against the sealing ring, and then sealed again. When water flows through the pipe, it will flow over the upper and lower surfaces of the mounting plate. Since the mounting plate and cover are made of transparent material, the microbial detector located inside the mounting plate will detect the microbial indicators inside the water and transmit the information to the controller for display. The advantages of this device are that the pipe connection is simple and reliable, and the detector inside the mounting base is easy to remove, maintain or replace. It has a simple structure and high practicality.

[0011] Preferably, a handle is fixed to the outer wall of the rotating ring. The handle is a ring design and the outer wall is provided with anti-slip texture. The ring handle design makes it easy for the operator to apply force, and the anti-slip texture enhances the grip stability.

[0012] Preferably, sealing rings are fixed on both sides of the mounting post. The sealing rings are designed with three layers of rubber, and the three layers of rubber sealing rings provide multiple sealing guarantees.

[0013] Preferably, a controller is fixed to one side of the outer wall of the mounting column. The controller is adapted to the detector and receives and displays the detection data in real time.

[0014] Preferably, the inner wall of the rotating ring is provided with threads, and the joint between the mounting post and the rotating ring is waterproofed. The threads enhance the stability of the connection between the rotating ring and the pipeline.

[0015] Preferably, the mounting plate has a mounting groove inside, the detector is fixed inside the mounting groove, and threaded holes are provided at the four corners of the upper surface of the mounting plate. The mounting plate is fixed inside the mounting base by external bolts in conjunction with the threaded holes. The modular design of the mounting plate makes it easier to install and remove the detector.

[0016] Preferably, the mounting plate has a recessed groove at the upper end of the mounting slot, and a cover plate is provided inside the recessed groove. The cover plate is fixed inside the recessed groove with screws. Both the mounting plate and the cover plate are made of transparent material. The transparent cover plate protects the detector without affecting the monitoring effect.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0018] I. This utility model and device adopt an integrated design of pipeline connection and detection. The cooperation between the mounting column and the rotating ring makes the pipeline connection simple and reliable. At the same time, the transparent mounting plate facilitates the real-time monitoring of microbial indicators in the water by the microbial detector, and the data can be transmitted to the controller for display.

[0019] II. Based on the first beneficial effect, this device achieves convenient installation, reliable sealing, and efficient water quality monitoring through optimized pipeline connection structure and integrated design of the detection module. The modular transparent mounting plate, in conjunction with the controller, makes microbial detection more intuitive and easier to maintain. The overall structure is simple and practical, possessing high practicability.

[0020] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment is a hot water microbial detection device, including a mounting column 1, a rotating ring 3 and a mounting plate 7. The rotating ring 3 is rotatably mounted on both sides of the mounting column 1. The mounting base 8 is symmetrically fixed on both sides of the inner wall of the mounting column 1. The inner wall of the mounting base 8 is provided with a slot 14. The mounting plate 7 is inserted into the slot 14. The mounting plate 7 is provided with a detector 13.

[0034] When using this device, the heating pipe is cut open, and the mounting column 1 is placed between the two pipes. Then, the rotating ring 3 is rotated, and the two pipes are squeezed against the sealing ring 6, and then sealed again. When the water flows through the pipe, it will flow over the upper and lower surfaces of the mounting plate 7. Since the mounting plate 7 and the cover plate 10 are made of transparent material, the microbial detector 13 located inside the mounting plate 7 will detect the microbial indicators inside the water and transmit the information to the controller 5 for display. The advantages of this device are that the pipe connection is simple and reliable, and the detector 13 inside the mounting base 8 is easy to remove, maintain or replace. The structure is simple and has high practicality.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment further includes, based on embodiment 1, a handle 2 fixed to the outer wall of the rotating ring 3. The handle 2 is a ring design and has an anti-slip texture on its outer wall. The ring handle 2 is designed to facilitate the operator to apply force, and the anti-slip texture enhances the grip stability, making the adjustment of the rotating ring 3 more convenient and improving the installation efficiency.

[0037] The mounting column 1 is fixed with sealing rings 6 on both sides. The sealing rings 6 are three-layer rubber designs. The three-layer rubber sealing rings 6 provide multiple sealing guarantees, effectively preventing water leakage at pipe connections and enhancing the sealing and durability of the device.

[0038] A controller 5 is fixed to the outer wall of one side of the mounting column 1. The controller 5 is adapted to the detector 13. The controller 5 receives and displays the detection data in real time, which makes it easy for users to quickly grasp the situation of aquatic organisms in the water and improves monitoring efficiency and convenience.

[0039] The inner wall of the rotating ring 3 is provided with threaded wire 4. The rotating part of the mounting column 1 and the rotating ring 3 is waterproofed. The threaded wire 4 enhances the connection stability between the rotating ring 3 and the pipeline. The waterproofing treatment prevents water seepage after long-term use and extends the service life of the device.

[0040] The mounting plate 7 has a mounting groove 12 inside, and the detector 13 is fixed inside the mounting groove 12. The four corners of the upper surface of the mounting plate 7 have threaded holes. The mounting plate 7 is fixed inside the mounting base 8 by external bolts in conjunction with the threaded holes. The modular design of the mounting plate 7 makes it easier to install and remove the detector 13. The threaded holes and bolts ensure that the mounting plate 7 is firmly fixed, which is convenient for maintenance or replacement of the detector 13. The detector 13 adopts a miniaturized optical sensor (such as fluorescence detection or scattered light analysis technology) and is directly embedded in the hot water circulation pipe, which can monitor the concentration of microorganisms in the water in real time without manual sampling.

[0041] The mounting plate 7 is located at the upper end of the mounting groove 12 and has a sink 9. The sink 9 has a cover plate 10 inside. The cover plate 10 is fixed inside the sink 9 with screws 11. Both the mounting plate 7 and the cover plate 10 are made of transparent material. The transparent cover plate 10 protects the detector 13 without affecting the monitoring effect. The way the sink 9 is fixed with the screws 11 ensures that the cover plate 10 fits tightly and prevents water from seeping in.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the 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 this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
