Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an intelligent ultrasonic water meter, and more particularly to a dual-circuit board dual-battery ultrasonic meter. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasonic smart water meters are water meters that use ultrasonic sensors to calculate water flow. With the rise of smart water meters, ultrasonic water meters have also begun to develop towards intelligence. However, unlike mechanical water meters, the metering module of an ultrasonic water meter does not use a mechanical structure, thus requiring a specific protocol for communication. Furthermore, the transmission module responsible for uploading data varies depending on the requirements of each water company. Currently, the metering and transmission modules of smart ultrasonic water meters use an integrated design, sharing a circuit board and power supply. When the design of the transmission module changes, the entire circuit board needs to be redesigned, leading to increased costs. Moreover, sharing a power supply between the metering and transmission modules significantly increases the frequency of battery replacements, resulting in higher maintenance costs in the long run. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a dual-circuit board, dual-battery ultrasonic meter, where the metering module and the transmission module each use their own circuit board and battery, facilitating the replacement of the transmission module and battery. To achieve the above objective, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] (II) Technical Solution

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a dual-circuit board, dual-battery ultrasonic meter includes a base meter 1. A metering module 2 is provided on the top of the base meter 1, and a transmission module 3 is provided on the top of the metering module 2. Both the metering module 2 and the transmission module 3 contain a battery (not shown), a circuit board 10, and a communication component. Data is transmitted between the metering module 2 and the transmission module 3 through the communication component. The circuit board 10 in the metering module 2 is connected to the ultrasonic sensor in the base meter 1 through a wire.

[0035] By designing the metering module 2 and the transmission module 3 separately, it is convenient to replace the transmission module 3 individually according to customer needs, thereby ensuring compatibility with various communication methods and reducing costs. At the same time, the metering module 2 and the transmission module 3 use their own batteries, which are easy to replace and greatly extend the battery life, reducing the later maintenance costs.

[0036] To prevent unauthorized personnel from removing the relevant modules, at least one magnet 4 is provided between the metering module 2 and the transmission module 3, and both the metering module 2 and the transmission module 3 are equipped with magnetic sensing components that can sense the magnet 4. When the metering module 2 and the transmission module 3 are separated, the system will sound an alarm to achieve the anti-tampering function.

[0037] It is worth mentioning that, to improve the structural stability of the water meter, the base meter 1, metering module 2, and transmission module 3 are all housed within a single casing. This casing includes a base plate 5 and a cover 6. The base meter 1 and metering module 2 are positioned between the base plate 5 and the cover 6, while the transmission module 3 is placed inside the cover 6 from above and covered by a top cover 7. The cover 6 separates the metering module 2 and the transmission module 3, facilitating the individual replacement of the transmission module 3. The transmission module 3 can be installed after the base meter 1 and metering module 2 have been assembled, improving assembly efficiency.

[0038] It is understood that the cover 6 has a battery hole that communicates with the battery compartment of the metering module 2. This battery hole is covered by a battery cover 9, and the end of the battery cover 9 is embedded in the end of the battery compartment of the metering module 2. This allows the battery of the metering module 2 to be replaced from the outside without disassembling the casing.

[0039] It should be noted that if either the metering module 2 or the transmission module 3 loses power, the system will also issue an alarm.

[0040] To facilitate on-site reading, the cover 6 has an opening opposite to the viewing window of the metering module 2 and is equipped with a flip cover 8.

[0041] Preferably, the communication method of the communication components between the metering module 2 and the transmission module 3 is infrared communication, which is a mature and stable technology with a simple structure.

[0042] Of course, the communication method of the communication component can also be magnetic communication, that is, the top of the metering module 2 and the bottom of the transmission module 3 are both equipped with magnetic transmission components, and the two magnetic transmission components are driven by magnetic force. This method helps to reduce structural seams between the top of the metering module 2 and the transmission module 3 and improve protection performance.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
