This directly solves the problems of the existing trolley's limited functionality and the impact on subsequent processing.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transfer equipment technology, and in particular to a water meter transfer frame. Background Technology

[0002] A water meter is an instrument used to measure water flow, mostly measuring the cumulative flow of water. They are generally divided into two categories: volumetric water meters and velocity water meters. When selecting a water meter, you should first estimate the flow rate and range you typically use, and then choose the water meter with the flow rate closest to that value as your first choice.

[0003] Because water meters need to be assembled and tested during the production process, they need to be transported back and forth between different workshops. However, ordinary transport carts have limited functions and do not have the function of draining water, which affects the subsequent processing of water meters and is extremely inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a water meter transfer rack with a water draining function.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a water meter transfer frame, comprising... The base has a drain collection trough on the top; Movable casters are installed at the bottom of the base; A support frame is installed on top of the base; At least two plug-in columns are installed on the support frame and extend along the height direction of the base. The plug-in columns are located directly above the drain collection trough and are used to plug into the inlet or outlet of the water meter, such that the inlet or outlet of the water meter faces the drain collection trough.

[0006] Furthermore, the support frame is provided with a support crossbar, and the plug-in column is installed on the support crossbar.

[0007] Furthermore, the number of the supporting crossbars is at least two.

[0008] Furthermore, projected along the height direction of the base, each of the support crossbars is exposed in the area where the drain collection trough is located.

[0009] Furthermore, the support frame is equipped with a handle.

[0010] Furthermore, the drain collection tank is covered with a buffer filter screen.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the base is provided with a drain outlet that connects to the drain collection trough, and the drain outlet is provided with a removable plug.

[0012] Furthermore, the drain collection tank is provided with a drain guide channel that communicates with the drain outlet.

[0013] Furthermore, the movable roller is a swivel wheel.

[0014] Furthermore, the insertion post is provided with an elastic buffer sleeve.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The water meter transfer rack provided by this utility model forms a low-level liquid collection area by opening a drain collection trough at the top of the base to capture the water meter dripping liquid in time, thus avoiding ground pollution. The movable rollers installed at the bottom of the base enable the collection and transfer to be completed simultaneously, eliminating the need for secondary handling. The support frame set at the top of the base raises the insertion position to utilize gravity for natural drainage. With the help of at least two insertion columns extending along the height direction and located directly above the drain collection trough, the water meter is inserted inverted so that the inlet or outlet faces downward and directly into the trough, thereby constructing a point-to-point drainage path to ensure that all residual liquid flows into the trough quickly, completely eliminating the dripping phenomenon and providing dry and clean water meters for subsequent processes. This directly solves the problems of the existing trolley's single function and the impact on subsequent processing. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1 A water meter transfer rack, including The base 1 has a drain collection trough 11 on the top; The movable roller 2 is installed at the bottom of the base 1; Support frame 3 is installed on top of the base 1; At least two plug-in columns 4 are installed on the support frame 3 and extend along the height direction of the base 1. The plug-in columns 4 are located directly above the drain collection trough 11 and are used to plug into the water inlet or outlet of the water meter, so that the water inlet or outlet of the water meter faces the drain collection trough 11.

[0020] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by opening a drain collection trough 11 at the top of the base 1 to form a low-level liquid collection area, the dripping liquid from the water meter can be captured in time to avoid ground pollution; by installing a moving roller 2 at the bottom of the base 1, the collection and transfer can be completed simultaneously, eliminating the need for secondary handling; by setting a support frame 3 at the top of the base 1 to raise the insertion position to utilize gravity for natural drainage; and by using at least two insertion columns 4 extending along the height direction and located directly above the drain collection trough 11, the water meter can be inserted inverted so that the inlet or outlet faces downwards and directly into the trough, thereby constructing a point-to-point drainage path to ensure that all residual liquid flows into the trough quickly, completely eliminating the dripping phenomenon and providing a dry and clean water meter for subsequent processes, directly solving the problems of the existing trolley's single function and the impact on subsequent processing.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 Furthermore, the support frame 3 is provided with a support crossbar 31, and the plug-in column 4 is installed on the support crossbar 31.

[0022] As can be seen from the above description, the addition of a support crossbar 31 to the support frame 3 as an installation carrier for the plug-in column 4 makes the column more evenly stressed, reduces single-point cantilever deformation, improves the overall load-bearing capacity and stability, and facilitates standardized batch assembly.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 Furthermore, the number of the supporting crossbars 31 is at least two.

[0024] As described above, at least two supporting crossbars 31 form a multi-layered layout, either vertically or horizontally. The insertable columns 4 can be staggered in the vertical or horizontal direction, which can multiply the number of water meters transferred at one time, improve the transfer efficiency, and reduce the number of manual round trips.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 2 Furthermore, when projected along the height direction of the base 1, each of the support crossbars 31 is exposed in the area where the drain collection trough 11 is located.

[0026] As described above, when viewed from above, all the supporting crossbars 31 fall within the area of ​​the drain collection tank 11, ensuring that any liquid dripping from any of the inserted columns 4 can be completely covered by the collection tank, thus avoiding the secondary cleaning problem of liquid dripping outside the tank.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 Furthermore, the support frame 3 is provided with a handle 32.

[0028] As described above, by setting handles 32 on the support frame 3, operators can push and pull the transfer frame without bending over, reducing labor intensity, improving ergonomics, and enhancing the maneuverability of the vehicle.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 5 Furthermore, the drain collection tank 11 is covered with a buffer filter screen 5.

[0030] As described above, the buffer filter 5 covers the drain collection tank 11 and can intercept impurities, labels or tools falling from the water meter surface to prevent blockage of the drainage system; at the same time, the filter has an elastic buffering effect to reduce the impact force when the water meter is accidentally dropped and protect the water meter casing.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 Furthermore, the bottom of the base 1 is provided with a drain outlet 12 that connects to the drain collection trough 11, and the drain outlet 12 is provided with a detachable sealing component.

[0032] As described above, the bottom of the base 1 is equipped with a drain outlet 12 that connects to the drain collection tank and is fitted with a detachable sealing component, which enables short-distance closed transfer and fixed-point rapid drainage, thereby improving the continuity of operations.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 Furthermore, the drain collection tank 11 is provided with a drain guide 13 that communicates with the drain outlet 12.

[0034] As described above, the addition of a drainage guide 13 inside the tank quickly directs the liquid to the drain outlet 12, shortening the liquid retention time and reducing the risk of residual water stains and corrosion.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 Furthermore, the movable roller 2 is a swivel wheel.

[0036] As described above, the movable roller 2 is a universal wheel, which can turn 360° flexibly, adapt to narrow workshop aisles, and improve the mobility of transportation.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 4 Furthermore, the insertion post 4 is provided with an elastic buffer sleeve 41.

[0038] As described above, the insert column 4 is fitted with an elastic buffer sleeve 41 to prevent scratches on the water meter's inlet or outlet and to reduce the risk of shaking and falling off during transport.

[0039] Embodiment 1 of this utility model is as follows: Please refer to Figure 1A water meter transfer rack is suitable for various scenarios such as between different processes in a water meter production line, from the water testing area to the drying / calibration area, temporary storage and draining of finished products after the line, drainage during disassembly and inspection in the repair workshop, and centralized discharge of samples from laboratory sampling. It allows for immediate drainage by inverting and inserting the rack, preventing liquid from dripping and contaminating the ground, and ensuring that subsequent processes are dry and clean.

[0040] Specifically, the water meter transfer frame includes a base 1, movable rollers 2, a support frame 3, and at least two insertion columns 4. A drain collection groove 11 is formed on the top of the base 1. The movable rollers 2 are installed at the bottom of the base 1, the support frame 3 is installed at the top of the base 1, and the insertion columns 4 are installed on the support frame 3 and extend along the height direction of the base 1. The insertion columns 4 are located directly above the drain collection groove 11 and are used to insert into the water inlet or outlet of the water meter, so that the water inlet or outlet of the water meter faces the drain collection groove 11. It is easy to understand that by forming a drain collection groove 11 on the top of the base 1, a low-lying... The collection area instantly captures water meter drips to prevent ground contamination. Movable rollers 2 are installed at the bottom of the base 1 to complete collection and transfer simultaneously, eliminating the need for secondary handling. A support frame 3 is set on the top of the base 1 to raise the insertion position and utilize gravity for natural drainage. At least two insertion columns 4 extending along the height direction and located directly above the drain collection tank 11 enable the water meter to be inserted inverted so that the inlet or outlet faces downwards into the tank, thereby creating a point-to-point drainage path to ensure that all residual liquid flows into the tank quickly, completely eliminating leakage and providing dry and clean water meters for subsequent processes. This directly solves the problems of the existing trolley's single function and the impact on subsequent processing.

[0041] It should be noted that the diameter of the insertion post 4 is smaller than the diameter of the water meter's inlet and outlet. This allows the insertion post 4 to be inserted into the water meter, enabling the water meter to be placed upside down on the support frame 3 for drainage. For those skilled in the art, the diameter of the water meter's inlet and outlet can be set according to specific industry standards; therefore, the specific dimensions of the insertion post 4 are not described in this embodiment.

[0042] In this embodiment, there are four movable rollers 2, which are respectively installed at the four corners of the chassis. Specifically, the movable rollers 2 are omnidirectional wheels. It can be understood that the movable rollers 2 are omnidirectional wheels, which can turn 360° flexibly, adapt to narrow workshop aisles, and improve the mobility of transportation.

[0043] In addition, in some other embodiments, the number, installation position and type of the movable rollers 2 can be set according to the actual application requirements, which will not be elaborated here.

[0044] Please combine Figure 1The support frame 3 is provided with a support crossbar 31, on which the plug-in column 4 is installed. The addition of the support crossbar 31 to the support frame 3 serves as the mounting carrier for the plug-in column 4, making the column more evenly stressed, reducing single-point cantilever deformation, improving the overall load-bearing capacity and stability, and facilitating standardized batch assembly. Specifically, the number of support crossbars is at least two. It can be understood that at least two support crossbars 31 form a multi-layer layout, either vertically or horizontally, and the plug-in column 4 can be staggered in the vertical or horizontal direction, which can multiply the number of water meters transferred at one time, improve the transfer efficiency, and reduce the number of manual back-and-forth trips.

[0045] In this embodiment, the support frame 3 is provided with handles 32, so that the operator can push and pull the transfer frame without bending over, reducing labor intensity, improving ergonomics, and enhancing the maneuverability of the vehicle. Specifically, there are two handles 32, one at each of the opposite ends of the support frame 3, so that the operator can grip the water meter transfer frame from different directions.

[0046] Please combine Figure 1 In this embodiment, the support frame 3 is shaped like a frustum of a square pyramid. There are ten support crossbars 31, with five support crossbars 31 on each of the opposite sides of the support frame 3, and each support crossbar 31 is parallel to the others. Specifically, each support crossbar 31 has ten insertable columns 4. This means that the water meter transfer frame provided in this embodiment can load, drain, and transfer one hundred water meters when fully loaded, thus facilitating counting by operators. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the number of support crossbars 31 and the number of insertable columns 4 on the support crossbars 31 can be set according to actual application requirements, which will not be elaborated here.

[0047] More specifically, the bottom of the base 1 is provided with a drain outlet 12 that connects to the drain collection tank 11. The drain outlet 12 is provided with a detachable sealing component (not shown in the figure). The bottom of the base 1 is provided with a drain outlet 12 that connects to the drain collection tank 11 and is equipped with a detachable sealing component. The sealing component can be a plug made of any material with sealing properties. By removing and installing the plug, short-distance closed transfer and fixed-point rapid drainage can be achieved, improving the continuity of operation. Specifically, the drain collection tank 11 is provided with a drainage guide channel 13 that connects to the drain outlet 12. The addition of the drainage guide channel 13 in the tank can quickly guide the liquid to the drain outlet 12, shorten the liquid retention time, and reduce the risk of residual water stains and corrosion.

[0048] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 3Projected along the height direction of the base 1, each of the support crossbars 31 is exposed in the area where the drain collection tank 11 is located. Under the top view projection, all the support crossbars 31 fall in the area of ​​the drain collection tank 11, ensuring that the liquid dripping from any of the inserted columns 4 can be completely covered by the collection tank, avoiding the problem of secondary cleaning of liquid dripping outside the tank.

[0049] Please combine Figure 4 The second embodiment of this utility model is a further improvement based on the first embodiment. In this second embodiment, the plug-in column 4 is provided with an elastic buffer sleeve 41. The elastic buffer sleeve 41 can be made of rubber, silicone, plastic, sponge, etc. The use of the elastic buffer sleeve 41 can prevent scratches on the water meter's inlet or outlet and reduce the risk of shaking and falling off during transportation.

[0050] Please combine Figure 5 The third embodiment of this utility model is a further improvement based on the first embodiment. In this third embodiment, the drain collection tank 11 is covered with a buffer filter screen 5. The buffer filter screen 5 covers the drain collection tank 11 and is located below the plug-in column 4. It can intercept impurities, labels or tools falling on the surface of the water meter to prevent blockage of the drainage system. At the same time, the filter screen has an elastic buffering effect to reduce the impact force when the water meter is accidentally dropped and protect the water meter shell.

[0051] Specifically, the buffer filter 5 is detachably installed on the chassis. The detachable connection method includes, but is not limited to, bolt connection, screw connection, magnetic connection, snap-on connection or adhesive connection, which can be selected according to the actual application requirements. The buffer filter 5 has at least two hollow holes 51. The number and arrangement of the hollow holes 51 can be set according to the actual application requirements.

[0052] In summary, the water meter transfer rack provided by this utility model creates a low-level liquid collection area by opening a drain collection trough at the top of the base to instantly capture the water meter dripping liquid and avoid ground pollution. The installation of movable rollers at the bottom of the base allows collection and transfer to be completed simultaneously, eliminating the need for secondary handling. A support frame is set at the top of the base to raise the insertion position so that gravity can be used for natural drainage. At least two insertion columns extending along the height direction and located directly above the drain collection trough enable the water meter to be inserted upside down so that the inlet or outlet faces downwards into the trough. This creates a point-to-point drainage path to ensure that all residual liquid flows into the trough quickly, completely eliminating the dripping phenomenon and providing dry and clean water meters for subsequent processes. This directly solves the problems of the existing trolley's single function and the impact on subsequent processing.
