Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water meter manufacturing technology, specifically to a draining fixture for water meters. Background Technology

[0002] A water meter is a measuring device used to measure water consumption. It is usually installed on the water inlet pipes of homes, commercial or industrial buildings to record water consumption and serve as the basis for water bill calculation.

[0003] In the manufacturing process of water meters, dewatering fixtures are mainly used to remove residual water from the internal parts of the product after testing. This ensures that the water meters are completely dry before leaving the factory, preventing circuit corrosion, freezing damage, decreased metering accuracy, or disruption to worker safety due to residual moisture during transportation, storage, and assembly. It also causes some water loss. Traditional dewatering methods typically rely on natural air drying, compressed air blowing, or manual wiping. However, with the increasing production volume and stringent quality requirements of smart water meters, the efficiency, consistency, and automation of these methods are no longer sufficient to meet modern production needs.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, Chinese Patent Application No. 202011458605.7 discloses a draining cart for transporting water meter workpieces. This draining cart includes a vehicle frame, a transmission mechanism, a power system, a battery module, a handwheel, a workpiece placement rack, and a control system. The workpiece placement rack is first fixedly connected to a workpiece rack fixing shaft. Two workpiece placement racks are stacked on a workpiece rack fixing shaft. Then, the workpiece rack fixing shaft is connected to a rotary conveyor mechanism and a gear mechanism via an extended chain. The gear mechanism is connected to the power system, and the power system is connected to the control system. The control system uses control signals to move the power system, which in turn drives the gear mechanism, thus causing the rotary conveyor mechanism to start moving the workpiece placement rack. Chinese Patent Application No. 202320374202.7 discloses a water meter transfer rack. The disclosed water meter transfer rack includes a base frame, a drain collection trough, four first lean pipes, two sets of second lean pipes, three water meter mounting racks, and four omnidirectional casters. The base frame is a rectangular frame structure with a bottom frame. The drain collection trough is placed in the base frame. One end of each of the four first lean pipes is vertically fixed at one of the four corners of the top surface of the base frame. Two of the second lean pipes in each set are parallel to each other and on the same horizontal plane. One second lean pipe is fixedly connected to the side of the two first lean pipes. One water meter mounting rack is fixedly installed on the top surface of the base frame. Each of the remaining water meter mounting racks is fixedly connected to a set of second lean pipes. The water meter is placed on the water meter mounting rack. The omnidirectional casters are rotatably mounted on the bottom surface of the base frame.

[0005] In the aforementioned prior art, water meters are drained by placing them on the workpiece rack of a water meter transfer cart or on the water meter rack. During the draining process, the water is not collected, causing it to flow directly onto the ground, making the ground slippery and increasing the risk of slipping. Furthermore, when water meters are placed on the rack, the rack is composed of several lean pipes that are parallel to each other and on the same horizontal plane, making it easy for the water meters to slip and fall, resulting in damage.

[0031] The width of the water collection trough 3 gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the bottom of the water collection trough 3 is provided with a second support rod 302 arranged along the length of the water collection trough 3. Furthermore, the water collection trough 3 has the same V-shaped structure as the drain trough 2. At the same time, the second support rod 302 is also a square steel pipe structure. The two ends of the second support rod 302 are connected to the drainage structure 5, and a drainage space is also formed between the second support rod 302 and the bottom of the water collection trough 3. The middle of the water collection trough 3 is provided with a water outlet 301 for drainage. The water outlet 301 is located above the water collection tank 4. Through this drainage space, water can easily flow from the water outlet 301 of the water collection trough 3 into the water collection tank 4.

[0032] The drainage structure 5 is a drain pipe 501 connected to several drain troughs 2. The drain pipe 501 is connected to the water collection trough 3. Furthermore, the drain pipe 501 is a square tube structure. The drain pipe 501 is connected to the drain outlet 201 of several drain troughs 2, so that the water in several drain troughs 2 flows into the drain pipe 501. The bottom end of the drain pipe 501 is connected to the water collection trough 3, and the water in the drain pipe 501 flows into the water collection trough 3.

[0033] Several moving wheels 102 are provided at the bottom of the movable base 1. The moving wheels 102 are respectively located at the corners of the movable base 1. The moving wheels 102 realize the movement of the draining fixture, thereby facilitating the transfer of the water meter during the draining process.
