Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water meter testing technology, specifically to an Internet of Things (IoT) water meter testing device. Background Technology

[0002] A water meter is an instrument that measures water flow. It is mainly divided into two types: mechanical water meters and electronic water meters. Mechanical water meters do not require a power source. The water flow drives the impeller in the water meter to rotate, and the impeller drives the gear set to change the pointer reading, thereby reading the cumulative flow. However, water meters have many parts, and it is difficult to guarantee that no errors will occur during the assembly process. Therefore, accuracy testing is required before leaving the factory.

[0003] Chinese patent provides an Internet of Things (IoT) water meter testing device, publication number CN221818444U, which includes a base, a support, a water meter body, a placement groove, a U-shaped plate, a lead screw, a pressure block, a protrusion, and a limiting groove. The base is fixedly connected to the top surface of the middle part of the mounting base plate.

[0004] The above-mentioned device, by setting a quick positioning mechanism, can quickly install and fix the water meter body, and can achieve a stable connection between the water meter body and the quick detection mechanism, thereby improving the stability of the water meter body during detection.

[0005] However, it requires multiple components to fix a single water meter, and after testing, it needs to be disassembled and reinstalled before the next water meter can be tested. The replacement waiting time is long, which affects the testing efficiency. In addition, the single water tank stores water flow, and the structure is relatively simple. The internal components of the water meter may change with the temperature of the water flow. It is difficult to test the reliability and stability of the water meter under different climatic conditions by using water flow at the same temperature. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an Internet of Things (IoT) water meter detection device that can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An Internet of Things (IoT) water meter testing device includes a testing platform. Several temperature-controlled water storage tanks are installed on one side of the top of the testing platform. A fixing component is provided on the top of the testing platform. The fixing component has several movable support seats that match the number of temperature-controlled water storage tanks.

[0009] The movable support base is movably installed on the top of the testing platform away from the temperature-controlled water storage tank via a buffer support base. The water meter body is set on the top of the movable support base. An electric telescopic rod is installed on the top of the movable support base and near both sides. The push rod end of the electric telescopic rod is connected to a fixed pressure block. A support block that adapts to the fixed pressure block is set on the top of the movable support base. The interface of the water meter body is located between the fixed pressure block and the support block. The bottom outlet of the temperature-controlled water storage tank is connected to a transparent water supply pipe through a water supply pipe. The end of the transparent water supply pipe away from the temperature-controlled water storage tank is connected to a water supply cone pipe. The end of the water supply cone pipe away from the transparent water supply pipe is inserted into the interface on one side of the water meter body.

[0010] Preferably, a drainage cone pipe is provided in the interface of the water meter body away from the water supply cone pipe, and a corrugated hose is connected to the end of the drainage cone pipe away from the water meter body. The center points of the interfaces of the corrugated hose, the water supply cone pipe, and the water meter body are on the same horizontal plane.

[0011] Preferably, on the side of the testing platform away from the temperature-controlled water storage tank, several electrically operated telescopic rods II, which are adapted to the drainage cone pipe, are installed via a support plate. A movable plate is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the drainage cone pipe on the side away from the water meter body, and the push rod end of the electrically operated telescopic rod II is connected to the movable plate.

[0012] Preferably, a vibration motor is installed at the bottom of the movable support seat by fixing bolts, a damping buffer is provided at the connection between the buffer support seat and the movable support seat, and a rubber buffer pad is provided at the connection between the buffer support seat and the testing table.

[0013] Preferably, the end of the corrugated hose away from the drain cone is connected to a drain pipe, and a circulating water pump is installed at the bottom of the testing platform, with the inlet of the circulating water pump connected to the end of the drain pipe away from the corrugated hose.

[0014] Preferably, the outlet of the circulating water pump is connected to a circulating water pipe, and the end of the circulating water pipe away from the circulating water pump is connected to a temperature-controlled water storage tank, and an inlet check valve is provided at the connection between the circulating water pipe and the temperature-controlled water storage tank.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This invention, by setting a fixing component in conjunction with a temperature-controlled water storage tank, can fix the water meter body during testing, which improves fixing efficiency. Furthermore, as the water flows through the transparent water supply pipe, air bubbles will remain at the top of the transparent water supply pipe, thus reducing the interference of air bubbles on the testing.

[0017] By setting up a temperature-controlled water storage tank, movable support base, vibration motor, electric telescopic rod, and fixed pressure block to work together, the water meter body can detect water flow at different temperatures, improving detection accuracy. In addition, multiple movable support bases are set up to increase the number of water meter bodies that can be inspected through alternating detection, which facilitates rapid replacement.

[0018] Furthermore, during testing, the vibration generated by the vibration motor can simulate the water meter's detection of water flow when the pipeline vibrates. At the same time, it can check whether the water meter's components are loose or damaged under continuous vibration, making it easy to detect whether the water meter's metering performance and communication function are affected by vibration.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Combination Figures 1-4An Internet of Things (IoT) water meter testing device includes a testing platform 1. Several temperature-controlled water storage tanks 2 are installed on one side of the top of the testing platform 1. A fixing component 4 is provided on the top of the testing platform 1. The fixing component 4 has several movable support seats 6 that match the number of temperature-controlled water storage tanks 2.

[0027] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 Furthermore, the movable support base 6 is movably installed on the top of the detection platform 1 away from the temperature-controlled water storage tank 2 via the buffer support base 5. A water meter body 7 is installed at the top of the movable support base 6. Electric telescopic rods 8 are installed at the top of the movable support base 6 and near both sides. A fixed pressure block 9 is connected to the end of the push rod of the electric telescopic rod 8. A support block that adapts to and matches the fixed pressure block 9 is installed at the top of the movable support base 6. The interface of the water meter body 7 is located between the fixed pressure block 9 and the support block. A transparent water supply pipe 3 is connected to the bottom outlet of the temperature-controlled water storage tank 2 via a water supply pipe. A water supply cone pipe 11 is connected to the end of the transparent water supply pipe 3 away from the temperature-controlled water storage tank 2. One end of the water cone pipe 11 away from the transparent water supply pipe 3 is inserted into the interface on one side of the water meter body 7. A drain cone pipe 12 is installed in the interface of the water meter body 7 away from the water supply cone pipe 11. A corrugated hose 13 is connected to the end of the drain cone pipe 12 away from the water meter body 7. The center points of the interfaces of the corrugated hose 13, the water supply cone pipe 11, and the water meter body 7 are on the same horizontal plane. Several electric telescopic rods 17 that are compatible with the drain cone pipe 12 are installed on the side of the test platform 1 away from the temperature control water storage tank 2 through a support plate. A movable plate 18 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the drain cone pipe 12 away from the water meter body 7. The push rod end of the electric telescopic rod 17 is connected to the movable plate 18.

[0028] Specifically, when testing the water meter body 7, it can be placed on different movable support seats 6 as needed, ensuring that the interface on it is below the fixed pressure block 9. Then, the electric telescopic rod 17 can be activated. The extension of the push rod of the electric telescopic rod 17 can drive the movable plate 18 to move, thereby moving the drainage cone pipe 12 towards the water delivery cone pipe 11, so that the drainage cone pipe 12 and the water delivery cone pipe 11 are locked at the interface on the water meter body 7. Then, the electric telescopic rod 8 can be activated. The extension of the push rod of the electric telescopic rod 8 can be used to... The fixed pressure block 9 is lowered to clamp and fix the water meter body 7. Then the water supply solenoid valve at the temperature-controlled water storage tank 2 can be opened. At this time, the water flow will pass through the water supply pipe, transparent water supply pipe 3, water supply cone pipe 11, drainage cone pipe 12, and corrugated hose 13. When it passes through the water meter body 7, the water flow rate can be detected through the water meter body 7 to verify whether the water meter body 7 is a qualified product. That is, when the data displayed at the drainage pipe 14 is consistent with the water flow or within the allowable error, the production quality of the drainage pipe 14 is qualified; otherwise, it is unqualified.

[0029] Furthermore, multiple temperature-controlled water storage tanks 2 and movable support bases 6 are provided. During testing, since different water meter bodies 7 are connected to different temperature-controlled water storage tanks 2 through water delivery cone pipes 11, and the water flow temperature stored in each temperature-controlled water storage tank 2 is different, the water meter bodies 7 can be installed on different movable support bases 6 in sequence during testing to verify the detection effect of the water meter bodies 7 on water flow of different temperatures. Multiple workstations are set up to facilitate inspection and comparison, thereby improving testing efficiency.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the following is further provided: a vibration motor 10 is installed at the bottom of the movable support 6 by fixing bolts; a damping buffer is provided at the connection between the buffer support 5 and the movable support 6; a rubber buffer pad is provided at the connection between the buffer support 5 and the testing platform 1; a drain pipe 14 is connected to the end of the corrugated hose 13 away from the drain cone pipe 12; a circulating water pump 15 is installed at the bottom of the testing platform 1; the inlet of the circulating water pump 15 is connected to the end of the drain pipe 14 away from the corrugated hose 13; a circulating water pipe 16 is connected to the outlet of the circulating water pump 15; the end of the circulating water pipe 16 away from the circulating water pump 15 is connected to the temperature-controlled water storage tank 2; and a one-way valve is provided at the connection between the circulating water pipe 16 and the temperature-controlled water storage tank 2.

[0032] Specifically, as the water flows through the drain cone 12 and into the drain pipe 14, the circulating water pump 15 can return the water to the temperature-controlled water storage tank 2 for recycling. Meanwhile, a vibration motor 10 is installed below the movable support 6. When the water meter body 7 detects the passing water flow, the vibration motor 10 can be activated to simulate the water meter body 7 being installed on a continuously vibrating pipe. After the detection, it can be checked whether the internal parts of the water meter body 7 are loose or damaged, and whether the metering performance and communication function of the water meter are affected by the vibration, so as to improve the detection effect.

[0033] In actual operation, each pipeline is equipped with a corresponding external solenoid valve, which will not be described in detail here. When testing the water meter body 7, the water meter body 7 can be placed at different movable support seats 6 as needed, and the interface on it should be ensured to be below the fixed pressure block 9. Then the electric telescopic rod 17 can be activated. The extension of the push rod of the electric telescopic rod 17 can drive the movable plate 18 to move, thereby driving the drainage cone pipe 12 to move towards the water delivery cone pipe 11, so as to push the drainage cone pipe 12 and the water delivery cone pipe 11 to be locked at the interface on the water meter body 7.

[0034] Then, the electric telescopic rod 8 can be activated. The push rod of the electric telescopic rod 8 extends to drive the fixed pressure block 9 to descend and clamp and fix the water meter body 7. Then, the water supply solenoid valve at the temperature-controlled water storage tank 2 can be opened. At this time, the water flow will pass through the water supply pipe, transparent water supply pipe 3, water supply cone pipe 11, drainage cone pipe 12, and corrugated hose 13. When it passes through the water meter body 7, the water flow rate can be detected through the water meter body 7 to verify whether the water meter body 7 is a qualified product. That is, when the data displayed at the drainage pipe 14 is consistent with the water flow or within the allowable error, the production quality of the drainage pipe 14 is qualified; otherwise, it is unqualified.

[0035] Furthermore, multiple temperature-controlled water storage tanks 2 and movable support bases 6 are provided. During testing, since different water meter bodies 7 are connected to different temperature-controlled water storage tanks 2 through water delivery cone pipes 11, and the water flow temperature stored in each temperature-controlled water storage tank 2 is different, during testing, the water meter bodies 7 can be installed on different movable support bases 6 in sequence to test the detection effect of the water meter bodies 7 on water flow of different temperatures. Multiple workstations are set up to conduct inspection and comparison, thereby improving testing efficiency.

[0036] As the water flows through the drain cone 12 and enters the drain pipe 14, the circulating water pump 15 can send the water back to the temperature-controlled water storage tank 2 for recycling. At the same time, a vibration motor 10 is installed below the movable support 6. When the water meter body 7 detects the passing water flow.

[0037] The startable vibration motor 10 can simulate the water meter body 7 being installed on a continuously vibrating pipeline. After the test, it can check whether the internal parts of the water meter body 7 are loose or damaged, and whether the metering performance and communication function of the water meter are affected by the vibration, so as to improve the test results.

[0038] Furthermore, the display and control components and modules used in the aforementioned electric telescopic rod 2 17, vibration motor 10, circulating water pump 15, electric telescopic rod 1 8, and temperature-controlled water storage tank 2 are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.

[0039] 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 the 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.
