Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of integrated structure of smart water meter and insulation box, specifically to an integrated structure of smart water meter and insulation box. Background Technology

[0002] The integrated structure of smart water meter and insulation box is a device that integrates smart water meter and insulation box into a whole. Its core objective is to ensure the metering and data transmission functions of smart water meter while solving the problem of water meter freezing and cracking in low-temperature environments through the protection of insulation box. It is especially suitable for installation scenarios such as cold northern regions or outdoor and corridor locations with low winter temperatures.

[0003] Currently, most smart water meters and insulation boxes are integrated. To prevent the sealing rings at the water meter's interface from freezing and losing elasticity, leading to leaks, the inlet and outlet ends of the water meter's interface are usually also inside the insulation box. However, since the water meter is already installed inside the insulation box, the space is very small. The connection between the water meter and the water pipe usually uses clamps, bolts, or other structures, requiring tools. Given the limited space in the insulation box, operators need to frequently adjust their hand angles or body postures, resulting in low installation efficiency. Therefore, the integrated structure of smart water meters and insulation boxes has certain limitations. Utility Model Content

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the lower ends of both the first and second protective frames are fixedly connected with sealing strips, and the upper end of the base is provided with a sealing groove, in which both sealing strips are snapped into the sealing groove.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, both sides of the first and second protective frames are provided with mounting grooves, and rubber blocks are slidably connected to the four mounting grooves. Springs are fixedly connected between the rubber blocks and the mounting grooves.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the lower end of each base is fixedly connected to four extension plates, which are arranged in a rectangular array, and each of the four extension plates has a through-hole for mounting.

[0011] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the known prior art:

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0024] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown in this embodiment, an integrated structure of a smart water meter and an insulation box includes: a base 1, with hinges 7 installed on both sides of the base 1, and protective frames 1 and 2 respectively fixedly connected to one side of the two hinges 7. The protective frames 1 and 2 are symmetrical to each other, and a smart water meter body 9 is installed in the middle of the upper end of the base 1. The base 1, protective frames 1 and 2 form an unfoldable insulation box.

[0025] The base 1, protective frame 1, and protective frame 2 form an expandable insulation box through their structural cooperation. When the staff connects the water inlet and outlet of the smart water meter body 9 to the pipes, they can push protective frame 1 and protective frame 2 to the sides, causing them to rotate and the insulation box to open. This allows the staff to use tools to fix the clips or bolts to the pipes that need to be connected to the water inlet and outlet of the smart water meter body 9. This structure is simple and easy to operate, which can improve the efficiency of installing and fixing the smart water meter body 9 to the pipes and enhance the convenience of installing the smart water meter body 9.

[0026] It should be noted that the inner walls of both protective frame 1 (2) and protective frame 2 (3) are equipped with insulation layers.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a fixed box 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the protective frame 2. A sector plate 12 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed box 5. A rotating rod 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sector plate 12. One end of the rotating rod 13 extends out of the fixed box 5. A limit box 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the protective frame 3. A rotating cap 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 13. Multiple anti-slip grooves 15 are provided on the outer surface of the rotating cap 14. The structural design of the rotating cap 14 and the anti-slip grooves 15 facilitates the rotation of the sector plate 12 by the staff and prevents the surface of the rotating rod 13 from being too smooth.

[0028] Through the structural design of the fixing box 5, the sector plate 12 and the limiting box 6, when the staff puts the first protective frame 2 and the second protective frame 3 together, they can rotate the rotating rod 13 to rotate the sector plate 12 into the groove of the limiting box 6, thereby fixing the first protective frame 2 and the second protective frame 3. This structural design makes it convenient for staff to operate and improves the convenience of using the insulated box.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, sealing strips 11 are fixedly connected to the lower ends of protective frame 1 2 and protective frame 2 3, and a sealing groove 10 is opened at the upper end of the base 1. Both sealing strips 11 are snapped into the sealing groove 10. The structural design of the sealing strips 11 and the sealing groove 10 seals the gaps between protective frame 1 2, protective frame 2 3 and base 1, preventing cold air from entering from the gaps and ensuring the insulation effect of the insulation box formed by protective frame 1 2, protective frame 2 3 and base 1 on the smart water meter body 9.

[0030] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, both sides of the protective frame 12 and the protective frame 23 are provided with mounting grooves 16. Each of the four mounting grooves 16 is slidably connected with a rubber block 17. A spring 18 is fixedly connected between the rubber block 17 and the mounting groove 16. The structure of the spring 18 and the rubber block 17 is matched to ensure that the water inlet pipe and water outlet pipe installed on the smart water meter body 9 are tightly fitted with the protective frame 12 and the protective frame 23, thus ensuring the heat preservation effect of the heat preservation box.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, four extension plates 4 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the base 1. The four extension plates 4 are arranged in a rectangular array. The upper end of each of the four extension plates 4 is provided with a through mounting hole 8. The structural design of the extension plates 4 and the mounting holes 8 facilitates the installation and fixation of the insulation box.

[0032] This utility model provides an integrated structure of a smart water meter and an insulation box, and its specific working principle is as follows:

[0033] When connecting the smart water meter body 9 inside the insulation box to the pipes, the staff first pry open the protective frames 1 2 and 2 3 to the sides. The protective frames 1 2 and 2 3 rotate, opening the insulation box and making it easier for the staff to use tools. They then use clips or bolts to fix the pipes that need to be connected to the inlet and outlet of the smart water meter body 9. After the connection is completed, the staff simultaneously flips over the protective frames 1 2 and 2 3, bringing the base 1, protective frames 1 2 and 2 3 together to insulate the smart water meter body 9. At the same time, the staff rotates the rotating rod 13 to rotate the sector plate 12 into the groove of the limit box 6, fixing the protective frames 1 2 and 2 3, thus enabling the smart water meter body 9 to measure the water consumption.

[0034] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
