[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] according to Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, this embodiment proposes an IoT water flow control and regulation device, including a valve seat 1, a water injection port 2 on one side of the valve seat 1, a drain port 3 on the other side of the valve seat 1, an IoT flow meter 5 installed on the drain port 3, and a valve assembly inside the valve seat 1.

[0022] A handle 6 is provided above the valve seat 1, and a bolt 7 is provided between the handle 6 and the valve seat 1. The upper end of the bolt 7 is detachably connected to the handle 6, and the lower end of the bolt 7 is inserted into the valve seat 1 and threadedly connected to the valve seat 1. The valve assembly is rotatably connected to the bolt 7.

[0023] The bolt 7 is rotated by the handle 6, and the bolt 7 drives the valve assembly to move within the valve seat 1, thereby controlling the water flow in the pipeline.

[0024] The upper end of the valve seat 1 is provided with a movable ring 10 and a fixed plate 9 that is sleeved on the outside of the bolt 7. The movable ring 10 is fixedly connected to the valve seat 1. A telescopic bellows sleeve is provided between the fixed plate 9 and the movable ring 10. The bellows sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the bolt 7. The bellows sleeve is detachably connected to the fixed plate 9 and the movable ring 10.

[0025] The accordion sleeve is placed on the outside of the bolt 7 to protect it from damage caused by collision or compression. The accordion sleeve 15 adopts a telescopic design, which can extend and retract with the rise and fall of the handle 6 to prevent the accordion sleeve 15 from breaking due to stretching or accumulating due to compression. It also ensures that the bolt 7 can be fully covered no matter where the handle 6 is, providing better dust and moisture protection.

[0026] It is worth explaining in detail that the movable ring 10 and the fixed plate 9 are sleeved on the outside of the bolt 7. The movable ring 10 is fixedly set on the upper end of the valve seat 1, and the fixed plate 9 is rotatably set on the lower end of the handle 6. The movable ring 10 is fixed to the valve seat 1, and the fixed plate 9 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the handle 6 through a bearing. When the handle 6 rotates, because the fixed plate 9 is rotatably connected to the handle 6, the bellows sleeve sleeved on the outside of the bolt 7 will not be twisted or deformed during the process of pushing the bolt 7.

[0027] Water inlet 2 is connected to drain outlet 3 via valve seat 1. A connecting flange 4 is provided at the end of water inlet 2 and drain outlet 3 away from valve seat 1.

[0028] The IoT flow meter 5 uses an ultrasonic flow meter. Ultrasonic flow meters use ultrasonic transducers installed on both sides of the pipe. When ultrasonic waves pass through the fluid, the propagation speed of the sound waves in the downstream direction is accelerated by the fluid velocity, while it slows down in the upstream direction. By measuring the time difference, phase difference, or frequency difference of the ultrasonic waves propagating in the downstream and upstream directions, combined with parameters such as pipe diameter and sound wave propagation path, the average flow velocity of the fluid is calculated using relevant formulas. Multiplying this by the pipe's cross-sectional area yields the flow rate. The obtained flow rate value is displayed on the IoT flow meter 5. Simultaneously, by connecting a signal device, the flow information can be converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to the central control system, thereby remotely collecting water flow data in real time.

[0029] The valve assembly includes an upper valve chamber 12, a lower valve chamber 13, and a valve block 14. The upper valve chamber 12 is located in the upper half of the inner wall of the valve seat 1, and the lower valve chamber 13 is located in the lower half of the inner wall of the valve seat 1. The upper valve chamber 12 and the lower valve chamber 13 are separated by the valve block 14, and the upper end of the valve block 14 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the bolt 7. A flow channel is formed between the upper valve chamber 12 and the lower valve chamber 13. The flow channel is conical, and the bottom of the valve block 14 is conical. When the bolt 7 pushes the valve block 14 down, the gap between the valve block 14 and the flow channel will also decrease, thereby regulating the water flow rate.

[0030] Regarding the accordion sleeve:

[0031] The accordion cover includes an accordion cover body 15, a first connecting ring 16 and a second connecting ring 17. The first connecting ring 16 is fixedly disposed at the upper end of the accordion cover body 15, and the second connecting ring 17 is fixedly disposed at the lower end of the accordion cover body 15. The first connecting ring 16 is detachably connected to the lower end of the fixed plate 9 by a bolt connector, and the second connecting ring 17 is detachably connected to the upper end of the movable ring 10 by a bolt connector.

[0032] The outer side of the accordion sleeve 15 has many folds. These folds can absorb external impacts through deformation, preventing the bolts 7 from being damaged by collisions or compression, thus protecting the bolts 7.

[0033] Specifically, the bolt connector includes multiple bolt lugs 18, each bolt lug 18 is fixedly disposed on the outside of the first connecting ring 16 and the second connecting ring 17, and a fixing bolt 19 is fitted on the bolt lug 18. The fixing bolt 19 passes through the bolt lug 18 and is threadedly connected to the bolt hole 11 opened on the fixed plate 9 and the movable ring 10.

[0034] When removing the organ sleeve 15 from the outside of the bolt 7, release the fixing between the handle 6 and the bolt 7, rotate the retaining bolt 19, and unscrew the retaining bolt 19 from the bolt hole 11 on the fixing plate 9 and the movable ring 10. Then, the handle 6, fixing plate 9, organ sleeve 15, first connecting ring 16, and second connecting ring 17 can be completely removed from the outside of the bolt 7. The handle 6 is usually fixed to the top of the bolt 7 using a bolt connection, which will not be explained in detail here.

[0035] How this application works:

[0036] The bolt 7 is rotated by the handle 6, which in turn moves the valve assembly within the valve seat 1 to control the water flow in the pipeline. A bellows sleeve covers the outside of the bolt 7, protecting it from damage due to impact or compression. The bellows sleeve 15 features a telescopic design, extending and retracting with the rise and fall of the handle 6 to prevent breakage due to stretching or compression. It also ensures complete coverage of the bolt 7 regardless of the handle 6's position, providing superior dust and moisture protection.
