Detailed Implementation
[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0022] like Figure 1-4As shown, an intelligent electromagnetic water meter includes a connecting pipe 1, a mounting base 2, a converter 3, and a sensor 4. The converter 3 has a built-in power supply. The connecting pipe 1, mounting base 2, converter 3, and sensor 4 are existing technologies, and their composition can be an electromagnetic water meter of model HBLD / D. A mounting block 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting base 2. The side wall of the mounting block 5 is provided with a power supply mechanism for providing power. The power supply mechanism includes a mounting rod 6 set on the side wall of the mounting block 5. A mounting cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting rod 6. A vertical rod 9 is provided inside the mounting cylinder 8. A mounting box 11 is provided on the vertical rod 9. A storage battery 14 and a charging controller 15 are provided inside the mounting box 11. The charging controller 15 can prevent the storage battery 14 from being overcharged or over-discharged, thus extending the battery life. Heat dissipation vents are provided on both side walls of the mounting box 11. A cable 17 is provided at the bottom of the mounting box 11. A solar panel 10 is provided on the mounting box 11. The mounting rod 6 is connected to the mounting block 5 through a connecting mechanism.
[0023] In this utility model, the connecting mechanism includes a plurality of first bolts disposed on the side wall of the mounting rod 6, and the plurality of first bolts are disposed at equal intervals.
[0024] In this utility model, the vertical rod 9 is threadedly connected to the mounting cylinder 8, and the two heat dissipation ports are respectively provided with a first heat dissipation mesh 13 and a second heat dissipation mesh 16, which can accelerate the heat dissipation of the battery 14 and the charging controller 15 in the mounting box 11 during operation, avoid high temperature affecting the equipment life and ensure power supply stability.
[0025] In this utility model, the side wall of the vertical rod 9 is rotatably connected to the limiting plate 18, and the two side walls of the mounting rod 6 are fixedly connected to the fixing plate 19. The two side walls of the limiting plate 18 are fixedly connected to the first bolt, and the first bolt is provided with the first nut. The side wall of the fixing plate 19 is provided with a sliding groove, and the first bolt passes through the sliding groove. When the vertical rod 9 is adjusted to a suitable height, tightening the first nut can lock the position of the vertical rod 9, prevent it from loosening due to external vibration, and ensure the stability of the solar panel 10 installation.
[0026] In this utility model, a connecting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the vertical rod 9, and a plurality of second bolts are provided at the lower end of the mounting box 11. The second bolts are provided with second nuts, so that the vertical rod 9 and the mounting box 11 can be disassembled, and the mounting box 11 can be maintained and transported separately.
[0027] In this invention, the solar panel 10 is tilted to capture more solar radiation, such as powering an electromagnetic water meter in the field. This ensures relatively stable power generation even on cloudy days or in winter when sunlight is weak, while also reducing the accumulation of debris. The cable 17 has a sealing cover 7 on its side wall. The converter 3 has a built-in power supply with a charging interface. The other end of the cable 17 has a plug. The converter 3 has a docking cylinder on its side wall. The sealing cover 7 is threadedly connected to the docking cylinder to prevent rainwater from seeping into the converter 3 and to ensure circuit safety.
[0028] When in use, the solar panel 10 converts light energy into electrical energy, which is transmitted to the charging controller 15 in the installation box 11 through the cable 17. The charging controller 15 regulates the voltage and current to charge the storage battery 14. The electrical energy stored in the storage battery 14 powers the converter 3 through the cable 17, enabling the smart electromagnetic water meter to operate continuously without the need for frequent replacement of the built-in battery.
[0029] When it is necessary to adjust the position of the solar panel 10 to avoid shading, loosen the first nut of the limiting plate 18, rotate the vertical rod 9 to move it up and down in the mounting cylinder 8 (using threaded connection), and after adjusting to a suitable height, lock the limiting plate 18 and the fixing plate 19 with the first bolt to ensure that the solar panel 10 receives sunlight at a suitable height.
