Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve-controlled water meter technology, specifically to a moisture-proof valve-controlled water meter. Background Technology

[0002] A valve-controlled water meter, also known as a smart water meter or remote-controlled water meter, is a water metering device that integrates modern electronic technology, communication technology, and valve control functions. Valve-controlled water meters generally include the following functions:

[0003] Water consumption measurement: Relying on the internal metering mechanism, typically consisting of a flow sensor and a counter. The flow sensor detects the speed and volume of water flowing through the meter, converting this data into electrical signals that drive the counter to display water consumption. Valve control: A built-in valve control system consists of an electric actuator and valves. The electric actuator receives commands from the control center and uses electromagnetic force to open or close the valve, thus achieving remote control of the water flow. Data communication: Through a built-in communication module, the water meter can transmit water consumption data, valve status, etc., in real time to the water supply company's monitoring center or the user's smart device, while also receiving various commands from the control center.

[0004] For example, patent CN220525032U, entitled "Utility Model of a Moisture-proof Valve-controlled Water Meter," describes a water meter housing with a cover on the upper surface of the housing. A sealing strip is placed between the housing and the cover. Multiple hooks are located between the outer surfaces of the housing and the cover. A desiccant bag is placed at the bottom inside the housing, with a moisture-absorbing pad on its upper surface. This combination of the housing and cover protects the internal components. The sealing strip prevents external moisture from seeping in through the gaps between the housing and cover. The hooks secure the housing and cover together. The moisture-absorbing pad absorbs internal moisture, and the desiccant bag maintains a dry environment inside the meter. By installing components inside the meter to prevent excessive moisture, the water meter's internal environment is kept as dry as possible, increasing its lifespan.

[0005] However, the installation of the valve-controlled water meter requires it to be done inside the meter casing, which makes it inconvenient to connect the pipes to the valve-controlled water meter, increasing the difficulty of the installation work for the installers and thus presenting certain drawbacks.

[0006] In view of the above, this application is hereby submitted. Utility Model Content

[0032] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a moisture-proof valve water control meter, comprising:

[0034] Water meter body 1, which is used to measure the user's water consumption.

[0035] Moisture-proof base 2, which is fitted onto the bottom of the water meter body 1.

[0036] A moisture-proof housing 3 is disposed on the upper part of the water meter body 1. A moisture-proof space 4 is formed between the moisture-proof housing 3 and the moisture-proof base 2, and the water meter body 1 is located in the moisture-proof space 4. A moisture-proof sealing gasket 5 is provided between the moisture-proof base 2 and the moisture-proof housing 3.

[0037] A rotating connector is detachably disposed between the moisture-proof base 2 and the moisture-proof shell 3, and the rotating connector is used to rotatably connect the moisture-proof base 2 and the moisture-proof shell 3.

[0038] In this embodiment, after the water meter body 1 is connected to the installation pipe, the moisture-proof base 2 is placed below the water meter body 1, and the water meter body 1 is placed inside the moisture-proof base 2. Then, the moisture-proof housing 3 is connected to the moisture-proof base 2 using a rotating connector. Finally, the moisture-proof housing 3 is rotated and closed with the moisture-proof base 2, forming a moisture-proof space 4 between the moisture-proof housing 3 and the moisture-proof base 2. The water meter body 1 is located within the moisture-proof space 4, which provides a good moisture-proof effect.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, both ends of the moisture-proof base 2 and the moisture-proof shell 3 along their length are provided with semi-circular sealing cylinders 6. The sealing cylinders 6 are used to position and seal the pipes connected to the water meter body 1. The sealing cylinders 6 are integrally formed with the moisture-proof base 2 or the moisture-proof shell 3.

[0040] When the moisture-proof housing 3 and the moisture-proof base 2 are closed, the two semi-circular sealing cylinders 6 close together and position and clamp the installation pipes at both ends of the water meter body 1, which can improve the sealing between the installation pipes and the interior of the moisture-proof space 4, thereby improving the moisture-proof effect.

[0041] Furthermore, the moisture-proof housing 3 is provided with a ventilation opening 7, and an air guide strip 8 is obliquely arranged on the outer side of the ventilation opening 7. The air guide strip 8 is used to guide the external airflow into the moisture-proof space 4.

[0042] In this embodiment, multiple ventilation openings 7 are provided, and the multiple ventilation openings 7 are evenly distributed in a circular pattern on the moisture-proof shell 3.

[0043] When airflow flows outside the moisture-proof housing 3, the air guide strip 8 can guide the external airflow into the moisture-proof space 4, so that there is airflow in the moisture-proof space 4, thereby transferring the moisture in the moisture-proof space 4, improving the dryness of the moisture-proof space 4, and thus improving the moisture-proof effect of the water meter body 1.

[0044] Furthermore, the rotating connector includes:

[0045] Spring hinge 9 is fixedly installed on the moisture-proof housing 3.

[0046] The buckle 10 is fixedly installed at the end of the spring hinge 9, and the buckle 10 and the moisture-proof shell 3 are respectively located at the two rotating ends of the spring hinge 9.

[0047] The card holder 11 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the moisture-proof base 2. The card holder 11 has a limiting cavity 12, and the buckle 10 passes through the limiting cavity 12 and is engaged with the outside of the limiting cavity 12.

[0048] In this embodiment, the buckle 10 includes a connecting part 13 and an elastic limiting part 14. The connecting part 13 is fixedly installed on the spring hinge 9, and the elastic limiting part 14 is fixedly disposed on the end side of the connecting part 13, and the elastic limiting part 14 is away from the spring hinge 9.

[0049] The moisture-proof base 2 and the moisture-proof housing 3 are detachably connected via a rotating connector, facilitating the connection between the water meter body 1 and the installation pipe. When it is necessary to connect the moisture-proof housing to the moisture-proof base 2, the buckle 10 is inserted into the limiting cavity 12 of the retaining seat 11, and the elastic connecting part 13 springs up, causing the buckle 10 to engage with the retaining seat 11, thus achieving a quick connection between the moisture-proof housing 3 and the moisture-proof base 2. When moisture protection is required, the moisture-proof housing 3 is closed, forming a moisture-proof space 4 between it and the moisture-proof base 2, thereby achieving a moisture-proof effect.

[0050] Among them, the spring hinge 9 supports both fully open and fully closed states. After the moisture-proof housing 3 is closed, the elasticity of the spring hinge 9 drives the moisture-proof housing 3 to remain closed with the moisture-proof base 2, thereby improving the moisture-proof effect in the moisture-proof space 4.

[0051] Unlike existing technologies, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0052] This utility model utilizes a detachable rotating connection between the moisture-proof base and the moisture-proof shell to facilitate the installation of the water meter body. At the same time, a moisture-proof space is formed between the moisture-proof base and the moisture-proof shell, which can provide a good moisture-proof effect for the water meter body. It features a simple structure and convenient operation.

[0053] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
