Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising an … …" does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.
As shown in fig. 1, the intelligent water meter based on infrared ray provided by this embodiment includes: the system comprises an infrared transmitter 1, a water meter gear 2, an infrared receiver 3 and a control mainboard 4; the infrared transmitter 1 continuously transmits infrared signals to the infrared receiver 3; the water meter gear 2 is positioned between the infrared emitter 1 and the infrared receiver 3; the water meter gear 2 is connected with a water path of a user; the control mainboard 4 is connected with the infrared transmitter 1 and the infrared receiver 3; when the water meter gear 2 rotates, the infrared receiver 3 receives the discontinuous infrared signal and sends the received infrared signal to the control main board 4; and the control main board 4 acquires the water consumption of the user according to the infrared signal.
The control main board 4 includes: the information processing module 6 is used for receiving the infrared signals sent by the infrared receiver 3, calculating the number of turns of the water meter gear 2 according to the number of wave crests and wave troughs of the infrared signals, and obtaining the water consumption of the user according to the number of turns; the information storage module 5 is used for storing the water consumption of the user.
The control main board 4 further comprises an information transmission module 7; the information transmission module 7 is connected with a user side 8; the information transmission module 7 is used for receiving the water consumption of the user and sending the water consumption of the user to the user side 8.
The user water usage includes monthly water usage, daily water usage, and average daily water usage.
The user side 8 is a mobile phone APP carried on the mobile phone terminal.
The information processing module 6 obtains the time period of the maximum daily water consumption of the user according to the received infrared signals; if the wave crests and wave troughs of the infrared signals stably appear for a long time, the water meter gear stably rotates for a long time, and when the number of turns of the water meter gear 2 calculated by the water meter gear exceeds a preset threshold value, the information transmission module 7 sends prompt information to the user side 8.
The preset threshold is set by the user terminal 8. The user end 8 calls the user water consumption stored in the information storage module 5 to check the data of the historical user water consumption.
Preferably, this embodiment further includes: the water meter comprises a water meter shell 9, wherein the infrared emitter 1, the water meter gear 2, the infrared receiver 3 and the control mainboard 4 are arranged inside the water meter shell 9, and the infrared emitter 1 is arranged on the inner side of the water meter shell 9 and is positioned above the water meter gear 2; the infrared receiver 3 is positioned below the water meter gear 2; the control mainboard 4 is arranged at the bottom of the water meter shell 9 and is positioned below the infrared receiver 3.
This embodiment still includes: the battery or the external power supply is used for providing electric energy for the infrared transmitter 1, the control mainboard 4 and the infrared receiver 3.
In summary, when the user starts to use water, the water meter gear starts to rotate, the infrared receiver is caused to discontinuously receive the infrared emitter to send out the infrared signal, and the information processing module can obtain the number of turns of the water meter gear according to the number of wave crests and wave troughs of the received signal, namely the water quantity. The information storage module stores the water consumption of the current month, the daily water consumption and the average daily water consumption according to the information obtained by the information processing module. And the information transmission module sends the daily water consumption, the monthly water consumption and the average daily water consumption in the same month to the mobile phone of the user according to the time set by the user. In unit time, if the quantity of crest trough is more, then the faster the gear rotates, the more the water consumption is also big. According to the principle, the information processing module obtains the time period with the maximum daily water consumption of the user according to the infrared light information received by the infrared receiver. If the wave crests and wave troughs appear stably for a long time, namely the gear rotates stably for a long time, the water leakage condition may exist in a user home, or the user forgets to turn off the water faucet. When the number of turns measured exceeds a certain threshold value, namely the water consumption exceeds a certain amount, the control mainboard can send related information to the user mobile phone terminal through the information transmission module, and a user can define the threshold value by self and also can check historical data.
The embodiment has simple structure, and can initiatively send the tip information for the user when the water consumption exceeds certain threshold value, the user also can real-timely look over relevant information and when the condition such as existence leaks, the user also can in time find the advantage of leaking through the information that obtains.
