[0034] Example 2:
[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 8 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.
[0036] Specifically, a cavity 209 is provided inside the cover plate 201, and the cavity 209 is cylindrical in shape.
[0037] The cavity 209 is designed to support the sliding of the limiting block 208, thereby limiting the movement of the handle 202.
[0038] Specifically, a limit block 208 is slidably provided on the inner wall of the cavity 209. The limit block 208 is in the shape of a circular plate, and a handle 202 is fixedly installed on one end of the limit block 208. One end of the handle 202 penetrates the surface of the cover plate 201.
[0039] The handle 202 is not only used to move the cover plate 201, but also to be inserted into the sleeve 203 to fix the cover plate 201.
[0040] Specifically, a first spring 207 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cavity 209, and one end of the first spring 207 is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting block 208.
[0041] The first spring 207 is wound around the handle 202. The first spring 207 is provided to apply force to the handle 202 on the limiting block 208 so that one end of the handle 202 is inserted into the sleeve 203.
[0042] Specifically, a sleeve 203 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the smart water meter body 100, and the inner wall size of the sleeve 203 is adapted to the cross-sectional size of one end of the handle 202.
[0043] The sleeve 203 is designed to receive the insertion of one end of the handle 202, thereby fixing the cover 201 into the battery compartment 204.
[0044] Specifically, the inner wall of the battery compartment 204 is provided with a limiting groove 205. There are two limiting grooves 205, and the shape of the limiting groove 205 is a strip groove. Both sides of the cover plate 201 are rotatably connected to limiting wheels 206, and the limiting wheels 206 roll in the limiting groove 205.
[0045] The limiting groove 205 is designed to support the rolling of the limiting wheel 206. The limiting wheel 206 is designed to roll within the limiting groove 205. The limiting groove 205 and the limiting wheel 206 together serve to limit the movement of the cover plate 201, facilitating the linear sliding of the cover plate 201.
[0046] Example 3:
[0047] Reference Figures 1 to 8 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.
[0048] Specifically, the column 302 is a cylindrical rod, and the column 302 is set vertically. The mounting plate 313 is C-shaped.
[0049] The column 302 is designed to support the installation of the mounting plate 313, and the mounting plate 313 is designed to support the installation of the bracket 307.
[0050] Specifically, a clamping rod 303 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bracket 307, and a driving groove 309 is provided on the clamping rod 303. The driving groove 309 is a strip-shaped groove.
[0051] There are two clamping rods 303. The inner wall of the clamping rods 303 is provided with an anti-slip pad. The clamping rods 303 are used to clamp the pipe. The drive groove 309 is used to support the sliding of the limiting column 312.
[0052] Specifically, the inner wall of the bracket 307 is threaded with a lead screw 310, one end of which is rotatably connected to a clamping plate 308. The bottom end of the clamping plate 308 is fixedly installed with a limiting post 312, which is cylindrical in shape and slides in the drive groove 309. The other end of the lead screw 310 is fixedly installed with a turntable 304, which is circular in shape.
[0053] The lead screw 310 is used to drive the clamping plate 308 to move. The clamping wall end of the clamping plate 308 is provided with an anti-slip pad. The limiting post 312 is used to slide in the drive groove 309. By setting the limiting post 312 and the drive groove 309, when the lead screw 310 drives the clamping plate 308 to move, it serves to limit the movement of the clamping plate 308, which is conducive to the linear movement of the clamping plate 308.
[0054] Specifically, a second spring 311 is fixedly installed on the turntable 304, and a plug rod 306 is fixedly installed on one end of the second spring 311. One end of the plug rod 306 passes through the turntable 304. A slot 305 is provided on the bracket 307, and the cross-sectional dimensions of the slot 305 are adapted to the cross-sectional dimensions of one end of the plug rod 306.
[0055] The second spring 311 is used to apply force to the insertion rod 306 so that the insertion rod 306 can be inserted into the slot 305, thereby fixing the turntable 304 and the lead screw 310. The insertion rod 306 is used to be inserted into the slot 305, thereby fixing the turntable 304 and the lead screw 310. The slot 305 is cylindrical and is used to receive one end of the insertion rod 306, thereby fixing the turntable 304 and the lead screw 310.
[0056] In use, after the smart water meter body 100 is installed into the pipeline, the pipeline is positioned between the two clamping rods 303. First, pull the insertion rod 306 to pull one end of the insertion rod 306 away from the slot 305. This releases the fixation on the turntable 304. Then, rotate the turntable 304. When the turntable 304 rotates, it will drive the lead screw 310 to rotate. The lead screw 310 is threadedly connected to the bracket 307. Therefore, when the lead screw 310 rotates, it will drive the clamping plate 308 to move. When the clamping plate 308 moves, it will drive the limiting post 312 to slide linearly along the inner wall of the drive groove 309. The setting of the limiting post 312 and the drive groove 309 serves to limit the movement of the clamping plate 308, facilitating the movement of the clamping plate 308. The device moves in a straight line. At the same time, when the limit post 312 moves in the drive groove 309, it will drive the clamping rods 303 on both sides to deflect in opposite directions until the clamping plate 308 and the clamping rods 303 on both sides clamp and fix the pipe. Then the insertion rod 306 is released. The insertion rod 306 will be inserted into the slot 305 under the action of the second spring 311, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the turntable 304 and the lead screw 310. Furthermore, the clamping ends of the clamping plate 308 and the clamping rods 303 are provided with anti-slip pads to maintain clamping stability. Through the above settings, it is easy to reduce the force between the smart water meter body 100 and the pipe connection end, thereby maintaining the stable operation of the smart water meter body 100.
[0057] When the battery of the smart water meter body 100 needs to be replaced, pull the handle 202 to pull one end of the handle 202 away from the insert 203, and then slide the cover plate 201 through the handle 202. The cover plate 201 will move linearly under the action of the limiting wheel 206 and the limiting slide groove 205 until the battery is exposed, which makes it easy to replace the battery in the battery slot 204. After the replacement is completed, the handle 202 drives the cover plate 201 to cover the battery slot 204, and then the handle 202 is released. The handle 202 will be inserted into the insert 203 under the action of the first spring 207, thereby fixing the cover plate 201.
[0058] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
