Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water meter technology, specifically relating to a modular split water meter dial and base quick-release buckle structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of water metering, split-type water meters are widely used due to their advantages of ease of reading, maintenance, and replacement. Traditional split-type water meters typically consist of a base mounted on the pipe and a detachable dial (reading unit). A reliable connection is required between the dial and the base to ensure structural stability, good sealing, and continuity of electrical connections (if any).

[0003] Currently, there are two main ways to connect the dial to the base: one is to use multiple bolts for fastening. Although this method provides a secure connection, it has significant drawbacks: installation and disassembly require tightening or loosening multiple bolts sequentially, which involves cumbersome tools and low efficiency. This is especially true in confined spaces or situations requiring frequent replacement or calibration, greatly increasing workload and time costs.

[0004] Secondly, simple snap-on or plug-in structures are used. These structures usually rely on the elastic deformation of plastic snaps to achieve locking. The locking force is limited and there is a risk of creep. Under long-term vibration environment (such as water hammer effect in pipelines), the snaps are very easy to loosen due to fatigue or accidental impact, causing the dial to separate from the base, resulting in metering interruption or data loss, which poses a serious safety hazard.

[0005] To address this, we propose a modular, split-type quick-release buckle structure for the water meter panel and base. This device enables the water meter panel to be installed and disassembled quickly and easily, improving installation efficiency and ensuring good stability and preventing loosening. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular, split-type quick-release buckle structure for the water meter panel and base. This device enables the water meter panel to be installed and disassembled quickly and easily, improving installation efficiency and ensuring good stability and preventing loosening.

[0007] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A modular, split-type quick-release buckle structure for a water meter panel and base includes a water meter panel body and the mounting base, wherein the water meter panel body is mounted on the mounting base via a buckle assembly. The buckle assembly includes multiple connecting rods disposed on the outside of the water meter body. Each connecting rod has a connecting plate installed at the end away from the water meter body. The connecting plate consists of a first plate, a second plate, a third plate, and a fourth plate. The first plate and the fourth plate each have two sets of symmetrical sliding grooves on their adjacent sides. Each set of sliding grooves has an elastic moving component inside. The two sets of elastic moving components are respectively connected to the second plate and the third plate. The first plate has a threaded hole with a threaded rod inside. The bottom of the threaded rod has a triangular wedge block. The second plate and the third plate each have a triangular groove. The two inner walls of the triangular groove are in contact with the outer side of the triangular wedge block. The mounting base has multiple through grooves that match the connecting plates. The inner walls on both sides of the through grooves each have limiting grooves that match the second plate and the third plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the first plate and the fourth plate have the same length, the second plate and the third plate have the same length, and the length of the first plate is greater than the length of the second plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the elastic moving component includes a fixed shaft disposed inside the slide groove, a slider and a first spring are sleeved on the fixed shaft, one side of the slider is connected to the first spring, and the bottom of the slider is connected to the second plate or the third plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the slider matches the groove.

[0011] Furthermore, a sealing layer is provided on the outer side of the water meter panel body.

[0012] Furthermore, both the triangular groove and the triangular wedge block have smooth surfaces on their inner walls.

[0013] Furthermore, a rotating disk is provided at the top of the threaded rod, and a movable hole is provided on the rotating disk. A movable rod is provided inside the movable hole. A limit plate is provided at the top of the movable rod, and a locking rod is provided at the bottom of the movable rod. A second spring is sleeved on the movable rod between the rotating disk and the locking rod. Multiple locking holes are provided in a circular array at the top of the connecting plate, and each locking hole matches the locking rod.

[0014] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows: First, during installation, the water meter panel is inserted into the mounting hole on the mounting base. Simultaneously, the connecting rod drives the connecting plate into the through groove. Then, the threaded rod is rotated, causing the triangular wedge block to slide on the side wall of the triangular groove, thereby pressing against the second and third plates. The second and third plates move away from each other through their respective elastic moving components, causing them to enter their corresponding limiting grooves for locking. This device allows for quick and easy installation and removal of the water meter panel, improving installation efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0017] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0018] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a modular split water meter panel and base quick-release buckle structure includes a water meter panel body 1 and a mounting base 2. The water meter panel body 1 is installed on the mounting base 2 through a buckle assembly. The snap-fit ​​assembly includes multiple connecting rods 3 disposed on the outside of the water meter body 1. Each connecting rod 3 has a connecting plate 4 installed at the end away from the water meter body 1. The connecting plate 4 is composed of a first plate 5, a second plate 6, a third plate 7, and a fourth plate 8. The first plate 5 and the fourth plate 8 have two sets of symmetrical sliding grooves 9 on their sides that are close to each other. Each set of sliding grooves 9 has an elastic moving component inside. The two sets of elastic moving components are connected to the second plate 6 and the third plate 7 respectively. The first plate 5 has a threaded hole with a threaded rod 10 inside. The bottom of the threaded rod 10 has a triangular wedge block 11. The second plate 6 and the third plate 7 have triangular grooves 12. The two inner walls of the triangular grooves 12 are in contact with the outer side of the triangular wedge block 11. The mounting base 2 has multiple through grooves 17 that match the connecting plate 4. The inner walls on both sides of the through grooves 17 have limiting grooves 13 that match the second plate 6 and the third plate 7.

[0019] In this configuration, the first plate 5 and the fourth plate 8 are of the same length, the second plate 6 and the third plate 7 are of the same length, and the first plate 5 is longer than the second plate 6. This arrangement ensures the correct installation orientation.

[0020] Meanwhile, the elastic moving component includes a fixed shaft 14 disposed inside the slide groove 9. A slider 15 and a first spring 16 are sleeved on the fixed shaft 14. One side of the slider 15 is connected to the first spring 16, and the bottom of the slider 15 is connected to the second plate 6 or the third plate 7. When the triangular wedge block 11 slides on the side wall of the triangular groove 12, the second plate 6 or the third plate 7 drives the slider 15 to move on the fixed shaft 14 and squeeze the first spring 16, thereby displacing it into the limiting groove 13 for locking. When disassembling, the threaded rod 10 needs to be rotated in the opposite direction to move the triangular wedge block 11 upward, and the second plate 6 or the third plate 7 is restored to its original position by the first spring 16, which facilitates subsequent removal.

[0021] The slider 15 is matched with the slide groove 9. Matching means that the slider 15 can move smoothly inside the slide groove 9 without getting stuck.

[0022] A sealing layer is provided on the outer side of the water meter panel 1. The sealing layer is a ring-shaped rubber ring, which is used for waterproofing and dustproofing.

[0023] Both the triangular groove 12 and the triangular wedge block 11 have smooth surfaces on their inner walls. These smooth surfaces reduce friction and enable a rapid response. The smooth surfaces are either polished or coated with a lubricating coating.

[0024] A rotating disk 18 is provided at the top of the threaded rod 10. A movable hole is formed on the rotating disk 18, and a movable rod 19 is disposed inside the movable hole. A limit plate is provided at the top of the movable rod 19, and a locking rod 20 is provided at the bottom of the movable rod 19. A second spring 21 is sleeved on the movable rod 19, located between the rotating disk 18 and the locking rod 20. Multiple locking holes 22 are arranged in a circular array at the top of the connecting plate 4, each locking hole 22 matching the locking rod 20. This arrangement allows the locking rod 20 to lock into the locking hole 22 after installation, preventing the threaded rod 10 from loosening due to vibration.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, during installation, the water meter body 1 is inserted into the mounting hole on the mounting base 2. Simultaneously, the connecting rod 3 drives the connecting plate 4 into the through groove 17. Then, the threaded rod 10 is rotated, causing the triangular wedge block 11 to slide on the side wall of the triangular groove 12, thereby pressing the second plate 6 and the third plate 7. The second plate 6 and the third plate 7 move away from each other through their respective elastic moving components, causing the second plate 6 and the third plate 7 to enter the corresponding limiting groove 13 for limiting and locking. This device can quickly and easily install and remove the water meter body 1, improving installation efficiency, and it is not easy to loosen and has good stability.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
