Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera water meter technology, specifically a double-sealed housing for a camera water meter data acquisition device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of smart water management, the demand for remote water meter reading, data monitoring, and anti-theft and anti-vandalism measures is increasing. Traditional mechanical water meters require manual periodic meter reading, which is inefficient and costly, and makes it difficult to monitor water usage in real time. To solve these problems, camera water meters have emerged. Camera water meters use a built-in camera to capture water meter readings and transmit the images or data wirelessly to a backend system, enabling remote and automatic water consumption collection and management. Camera water meters typically need to operate stably and continuously in complex outdoor or pipe environments, which are often humid, may contain corrosive media, and may be exposed to water pressure or accidental immersion. Therefore, the camera water meter acquisition device, especially its core component housing, requires extremely high protection. However, most acquisition device housings are fixed to pipes using multiple sets of bolts, which do not provide a double seal, thus reducing the overall airtightness of the housing and increasing subsequent operational procedures. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a double-sealed housing for a camera-based water meter data acquisition device, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a double-sealed camera water meter acquisition device housing, comprising a tube body, a connector fixedly connected to the top of the tube body, a sealing rubber ring fixedly connected to the top of the connector, a sealing cover provided above the sealing rubber ring, a column fixedly connected to the top of the sealing rubber ring, a snap-fit ​​structure rotatably connected to the top of the sealing cover, the snap-fit ​​structure snapping into the column, an auxiliary structure provided outside the snap-fit ​​structure, the auxiliary structure being connected above the sealing cover, the snap-fit ​​structure including a limiting post and a turntable, an arc-shaped locking plate connected outside the turntable, and a coil spring sleeved around the limiting post.

[0005] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the pipe body is provided with a water meter body, the sealing rubber ring is snapped into the sealing cover, the column is snapped into the sealing cover, and the sealing cover is provided with a camera body.

[0006] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the limiting post is fixedly connected above the sealing cover, and the turntable is rotatably connected outside the limiting post.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the turntable is connected to the outside of the limiting post by a coil spring, and the arc-shaped locking plate is locked into the inside of the column.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the auxiliary structure includes an arc-shaped plate and a mounting plate, wherein the arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the turntable, and the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing cover.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, an arc-shaped block is fixedly connected to one side of the arc-shaped plate, the arc-shaped block is snapped into the overlapping plate, and the overlapping plate overlaps with the arc-shaped plate.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the mounting plate is provided with bolts, and the mounting plate is connected to the arc-shaped block by the bolts.

[0011] This utility model provides a double-sealed housing for a camera-based water meter data acquisition device, which has the following advantages:

[0012] (1) This utility model applies a pushing force to the turntable by setting a sealing rubber ring, a sealing cover, a column and a snap-fit ​​structure. The arc-shaped snap-fit ​​plate will rotate with the turntable in the limiting column. When the turntable rotates, it will drive the coil spring to deform and then overlap the sealing cover on the top of the connector. The sealing rubber ring on the top of the connector will interlock with the sealing cover. When the column on the surface of the sealing rubber ring snaps into the sealing cover and the turntable is released, the arc-shaped snap-fit ​​plate will be reset by the action of the coil spring. When the arc-shaped snap-fit ​​plate is restored, it will snap into the column. The outer shell, through the snap-fit ​​structure, the cooperation between the sealing rubber ring and the column, enables the sealing cover and the connector to achieve the function of quick assembly. Moreover, the cooperation between the sealing rubber ring and the sealing cover can achieve the effect of double sealing, preventing external dust from entering the tube body, thereby ensuring the overall sealing performance of the outer shell and reducing subsequent operation procedures.

[0013] (2) By setting an auxiliary structure, the arc plate will rotate with the action of the turntable, and the arc plate will contact the mounting plate. The arc block will be locked into the mounting plate, and the mounting plate will be threadedly connected to the arc block by bolts, thereby locking the position of the turntable and preventing the turntable from loosening due to external force.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0020] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment, a double-sealed camera water meter acquisition device housing includes a tube body 1. A connector 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the tube body 1. A sealing rubber ring 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the connector 2. A sealing cover 4 is provided above the sealing rubber ring 3. A column 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing rubber ring 3. A snap-fit ​​structure 7 is rotatably connected to the top of the sealing cover 4. The snap-fit ​​structure 7 snaps with the column 6. An auxiliary structure 9 is provided outside the snap-fit ​​structure 7. The auxiliary structure 9 is connected above the sealing cover 4. The snap-fit ​​structure 7 includes a limiting post 701 and a turntable 702. An arc-shaped locking plate 703 is connected to the outside of the turntable 702. A coil spring 704 is sleeved on the limiting post 701.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a water meter body 5 is installed inside the pipe body 1, a sealing rubber ring 3 is snapped into the sealing cover 4, a column 6 is snapped into the sealing cover 4, a camera body 8 is installed inside the sealing cover 4, a limiting post 701 is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing cover 4, a turntable 702 is rotatably connected to the outside of the limiting post 701, the turntable 702 is connected to the outside of the limiting post 701 through a coil spring 704, and an arc-shaped clamping plate 703 is snapped into the column 6.

[0022] By setting a coil spring 704, a pushing force is applied to the turntable 702. The arc-shaped clamping plate 703 will rotate within the limiting post 701 along with the turntable 702. When the turntable 702 rotates, it will cause the coil spring 704 to deform, so that the coil spring 704 plays a certain supporting role for the rotation of the turntable 702, avoiding the phenomenon of the turntable 702 shifting its position when rotating, and facilitating the positioning of the turntable 702 after reset.

[0023] like Figure 4As shown, the auxiliary structure 9 includes an arc-shaped plate 901 and a mounting plate 902.

Bolts 904 are provided on the mounting plate 902, and the mounting plate 902 is connected to the arc-shaped block 903 through the bolts 904.

[0024] By setting a coil spring 704, a pushing force is applied to the turntable 702. The arc-shaped clamping plate 703 will rotate within the limiting post 701 along with the turntable 702. When the turntable 702 rotates, it will cause the coil spring 704 to deform, so that the coil spring 704 plays a certain supporting role for the rotation of the turntable 702, avoiding the phenomenon of the turntable 702 shifting its position when rotating, and facilitating the positioning of the turntable 702 after reset.

[0025] This utility model provides a double-sealed housing for a camera-based water meter data acquisition device, and its specific working principle is as follows:

When the turntable 702 rotates, it will cause the coil spring 704 to deform, and then the sealing cover 4 will overlap the top of the connector 2. The sealing rubber ring 3 on the top of the connector 2 will be inserted into the sealing cover 4. When the post 6 on the surface of the sealing rubber ring 3 is engaged with the sealing cover 4, the turntable 702 is released, and the arc-shaped clamping plate 703 will be reset by the action of the coil spring 704. When the arc-shaped clamping plate 703 is restored, it will be engaged with the post 6.

[0027] The curved plate 901 will rotate with the action of the turntable 702, and the curved plate 901 will come into contact with the mounting plate 902. The curved block 903 will be snapped into the mounting plate 902, and the mounting plate 902 will be threadedly connected to the curved block 903 by bolts 904.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
