With accelerating urbanization and rising living standards, the need for water resource management is increasing. Inaccurate measurement by traditional water meters easily leads to water waste and water bill disputes, while multi-functional anti-drip smart water meters can effectively prevent leakage through accurate measurement and real-time monitoring, improving the efficiency of water resource management and water conservation. Smart water meters are an important component of smart city construction, and governments at all levels are actively promoting their application, requiring the installation of smart water meters in new residential communities and public buildings, and encouraging the intelligent transformation of areas with existing traditional water meters. This has created a favorable policy environment for the development of multi-functional anti-drip smart water meters.

[0003] Most existing multi-functional anti-drip smart water meters are prone to cracking and leaking at the bends in the water pipes where the meter connects to the water pipe. Furthermore, the repair process for the bends involves numerous and complex steps, requiring the complete disassembly of the entire pipe structure before the bend can be removed, thus making the device less practical. Utility Model Content

[0019] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0020] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0021] Example 1: As Figures 1-6As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a multifunctional anti-drip smart water meter, including a lower elbow 3, with waterproof gaskets 6 fixedly connected to the outer walls of both top ends of the lower elbow 3, an upper elbow 4 fitted to the top of the waterproof gaskets 6, a small extension plate upper half 2 fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the upper elbow 4, a limiter 13 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the small extension plate upper half 2, a plug head 10 sleeved on the top of the limiter 13, a handle 14 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the plug head 10, a rotating rod 12 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the handle 14, a positioner 11 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 12, and a small extension plate lower half 7 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the positioner 11. The outer wall of the elbow 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower elbow 3. The upper half of the large extension plate 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom end of the upper elbow 4. Another limiter 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper half of the large extension plate 5. A bolt head 10 is sleeved on the outer wall of the other limiter 13. A handle 14 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the bolt head 10. A rotating rod 12 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the handle 14. A positioner 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 12. The lower half of the large extension plate 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the positioner 11. The lower half of the large extension plate 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower elbow 3. A waterproof gasket 1 is provided at the interface of the elbow connecting to the pipe. Threads 9 are provided on the inner walls of both the upper elbow 4 and the lower elbow 3.

[0022] In this embodiment, the lower elbow 3 and the upper elbow 4 are first bonded together using two waterproof gaskets 6. Then, the positions of the lower elbow 3 and the upper elbow 4 are adjusted so that the upper half 2 and the lower half 7 of the small extension plate are bonded together, and the upper half 5 and the lower half 8 of the large extension plate are bonded together. Next, the handle 14 is rotated so that the plug 10 is engaged with the limiter 13, achieving a stable fixing effect. When a fault occurs inside the pipe or the elbow requiring repair and disassembly, all four handles 14 are rotated simultaneously along the outer wall of the rotating rod 12. The rotation of the handles 14 causes the plug 10, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the handle 14, to rotate accordingly. By detaching the limiter 13 from its surface, the two halves of the elbow can be separated. The elbow can be removed for maintenance without twisting the pipes at both ends. The waterproof gasket 6 and waterproof washer 1 prevent water leakage. The design, featuring upper and lower elbows and multiple extension plates, simplifies the installation and disassembly of traditional spliced ​​elbows. It connects to pipes like a regular elbow, but when disassembly, maintenance, or replacement is needed, it can be quickly disassembled by simply turning the four handles. After repair, it can be quickly reinstalled, saving time and effort and enhancing the device's practicality.

[0023] Example 2: As Figures 1-6As shown, filter pipes 15 are threadedly connected to the outer walls of both the lower elbow 3 and the upper elbow 4. A water meter 16 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the filter pipe 15. A dial 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top of the water meter 16. A filter plate 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the filter pipe 15. Spring clips 20 are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the filter plate 19. Connecting pipes 18 are threadedly connected to the outer walls of both the upper elbow 4 and the lower elbow 3.

[0024] In this embodiment, when water flows through the water meter 16, it is detected by the water meter 16, and the data is fed back to the dial 17 for the staff to check. Then, the water flows through the water meter 16 into the filter pipe 15, where it is filtered by the filter plate 19 to remove impurities. The filtered water then flows through the filter pipe 15 into the bend formed by the lower bend 3 and the upper bend 4, and is discharged through the connecting pipe 18. When the filter plate 19 is saturated, the two spring clips 20 are pried along the inner wall of the filter pipe 15 to detach it from the outer wall of the filter plate 19, and then the water flows through the filter pipe 15 into the bend. The filter plate 19 slides along the inner wall of the filter tube 15, allowing it to be removed and replaced. Then, the two spring clips 20 are released, and under the action of elasticity, the spring clips 20 will re-clamp and adhere to the surface of the filter plate 19 to hold and fix it. By using a filter tube and filter plate structure, the water flowing into the pipe is filtered, which not only prevents the pipe from being blocked by impurities, but also makes it easy to replace the filter plate with the spring clip structure. In addition, the addition of a display screen structure allows for real-time monitoring of the water flow inside the pipe, thus making the device more versatile.

[0025] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, when water flows through the water meter 16, it is detected by the water meter 16, and the data is fed back to the dial 17 for the staff to check. Then, the water flows through the water meter 16 into the filter pipe 15, where it is filtered by the filter plate 19 to remove impurities. The filtered water then flows through the filter pipe 15 into the bend formed by the lower bend 3 and the upper bend 4, and is discharged through the connecting pipe 18. When the filter plate 19 is saturated, the two spring clips 20 are pried along the inner wall of the filter pipe 15 to detach it from the outer wall of the filter plate 19. Then, the filter plate 19 is slid along the inner wall of the filter pipe 15 to remove it and replace it. Then, the two spring clips 20 are released, and under the action of elasticity, the spring clips 20 will re-clamp and adhere to the surface of the filter plate 19 to hold and fix it. When the device needs to... During maintenance, first, the lower elbow 3 and the upper elbow 4 are fitted together using two waterproof gaskets 6. Then, the positions of the lower elbow 3 and the upper elbow 4 are adjusted so that the upper half 2 and the lower half 7 of the small extension plate are fitted together, and the upper half 5 and the lower half 8 of the large extension plate are fitted together. Then, the handle 14 is turned so that the plug 10 is locked onto the limiter 13 to achieve a stable fixing effect. When there is a fault in the pipe or the elbow and it needs to be inspected and disassembled, the four handles 14 are turned along the outer wall of the rotating rod 12. The rotation of the handles 14 causes the plug 10, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the handle 14, to rotate and disengage from the surface of the limiter 13, thus separating the two halves of the elbow. The elbow can be removed for maintenance without twisting the pipes at both ends. At the same time, the waterproof gaskets 6 and 1 prevent water from leaking out of the device.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
