Detailed Description
Please refer to fig. 1-2. Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of an intelligent monitoring device according to a first embodiment of the present invention, combined with a water meter. Fig. 2 is an exploded view of the intelligent monitoring device of fig. 1.
The intelligent monitoring device 10 of the present embodiment is suitable for being installed on a water meter 20, so that the water consumption information measured by the water meter 20 can be transmitted back to the database of the waterworks through the communication of the intelligent monitoring device 10. The water meter 20 includes, for example, a water meter body 22 and a sight glass 24. The water meter body 22 is used for the flow of water supplied from a water works, and the sight glass 24 is screw-locked to the water meter body 22. The water meter 20 is, for example, a pointer water meter, a direct-reading water meter or a combined pointer and direct-reading water meter, which is designed in a mechanical manner. The water meter 20 assigns an installer to a home installation for a water plant, and the accuracy of the water consumption measured by the water meter 20 meets the standards of the water plant. Therefore, the intelligent monitoring device 10 of the present embodiment is attached to the water meter 20 from the outside of the water meter 20, rather than directly replacing the water meter 20, so that the intelligent monitoring device 10 does not need to be subjected to the inspection of the water works again. That is, the accuracy of the water consumption is still determined according to the water meter 20, and the intelligent monitoring device 10 only truly displays the water consumption information measured by the water meter 20, so the intelligent monitoring device 10 does not need to be subjected to the inspection of the water supply plant again.
The intelligent monitoring device 10 is attached to the water meter 20 from outside the water meter 20 to take into account space constraints. For example, the water meter 20 is often mounted in a water meter box (not shown) such that the space above the water meter 20 is limited. In addition, the water meters 20 of users of the same building are often arranged side by side, so that the space on the left and right of the water meters 20 is also limited. Therefore, the intelligent monitoring device 10 is designed with the limitations of height and width taken into account. Otherwise, although the intelligent monitoring device 10 can facilitate the collection of water consumption information, it is difficult to exert its practicability due to space limitation. An improved design of the intelligent monitoring device 10 in consideration of the limitations in height and width will be described below.
In detail, the intelligent monitoring device 10 of the present embodiment includes a housing 100, a camera module 200, a communication processing module 300, and a power supply module 400.
The housing 100 includes a lower shell 110 and an upper shell 120. The lower casing 110 includes a bottom 111 and an annular side 112. The bottom 111 has a see-through bottom surface 1111. The see-through bottom surface 1111 is configured to be stacked on the observation lid 24 of the water meter 20, and the lower case 110 is fixed to the water meter body 22 of the water meter 20 by wire bonding, for example. The annular side portion 112 protrudes from the bottom portion 111. The upper case 120 is mounted on the annular side portion 112 of the lower case 110 to enclose the camera module 200, the communication processing module 300 and the power supply unit 400 therein.
Please refer to fig. 2 to 4. Fig. 3 is a side view of fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a schematic top view of fig. 1. In the present embodiment, the space S surrounded by the annular side portion 112 includes a first circular groove section S1, a first square groove section S2, a second square groove section S3 and a second circular groove section S4 connected in sequence. As shown in fig. 3, the first circular groove segment S1, the first square groove segment S2, the second square groove segment S3 and the second circular groove segment S4 are arranged along an arrangement direction a, and the arrangement direction a is substantially perpendicular to the normal direction N of the see-through bottom 1111. The substantially perpendicular means that the arrangement direction a is perpendicular to the normal direction N of the see-through bottom surface 1111 or is almost perpendicular to the normal direction N of the see-through bottom surface 1111 due to manufacturing errors.
As shown in FIG. 4, the diameter D1 of the first round slot segment S1 is larger than the diameter D2 of the second round slot segment S4. The diameter D1 of the first round slot segment S1 is between the width W1 of the first square slot segment S2 and the width W2 of the second square slot segment S3.
As shown in fig. 3, the depth X2 of the second square groove segment S3 is greater than the depth X1 of the first square groove segment S2, so that a step difference is formed between the bottom of the first square groove segment S2 and the bottom of the second square groove segment S3. The function of this step will be described later.
In the present embodiment, the annular side portion 112 has a first positioning structure 1121 at two opposite sides of the second square groove segment S3. The upper shell 120 has a second positioning structure 121 on each of two opposite sides. The second positioning structures 121 are respectively assembled to the first positioning structures 1211, so that an assembler can cover the upper shell 120 on the annular side portion 112. In addition, the upper case 120 and the annular side portion 112 are joined, for example, by vibration welding, so as to prevent the elements mounted in the housing 100 from being affected by external moisture.
The camera device 200 includes a camera substrate 210 and a camera lens 220. The photographic substrate 210 is located at the first circular groove section S1 and the first square groove section S2, and is substantially parallel to the perspective bottom surface 1111. The term "substantially parallel" as used herein means that the photographic substrate 210 is parallel to the see-through bottom surface 1111 or that the photographic substrate 210 is almost parallel to the see-through bottom surface 1111 due to an assembly error.
The photographing lens 220 is connected to the side of the photographing substrate 210 close to the see-through bottom surface 1111 and is located at the first circular groove section S1, so that the see-through bottom surface 1111 is located within the photographing range of the photographing lens 220. In this way, the photographing lens 220 can capture the accumulated water consumption information displayed on the water meter 20 through the see-through bottom 1111.
The communication processing device 300 is electrically connected to the camera device 200. The communication processing assembly 300 includes a communication processing substrate 310 and a communication chip 320 connected thereto. The communication processing substrate 310 is disposed in the second square groove section S3 and is substantially perpendicular to the perspective bottom surface 1111. The term substantially perpendicular here means that the communication processing substrate 310 is perpendicular to the see-through bottom surface 1111 or the communication processing substrate 310 is almost perpendicular to the see-through bottom surface 1111 due to an assembly error.
In the embodiment, the annular side portion 112 has, for example, a sliding slot on two opposite sides of the second square slot segment S3, and two opposite sides of the communication processing substrate 310 slidably abut against the sliding slot respectively, so that an assembler can slide the communication processing substrate 310 into the second square slot segment S3 by pressing down.
In the present embodiment, since the pipe of the observation cover 24 and the water meter body 22 of the water meter 20 forms a step difference, the bottom of the first square groove section S2 and the bottom of the second square groove section S3 also have a space to form a step difference, which is partly designed because the step difference between the pipe of the observation cover 24 and the water meter body 22 of the water meter 20 absorbs part of the height of the communication processing substrate 310, thereby reducing the height of the intelligent monitoring device 10 protruding out of the observation cover 24.
The power supply 400 is, for example, a cylindrical battery, and is electrically connected to the communication processing unit 300 and the camera module 200.
In the present embodiment, the power supply unit 400 is located at the second circular groove S4, such that the communication processing unit 300 is disposed between the camera module 200 and the power supply unit 400, and the camera module 200, the communication processing unit 300 and the power supply unit 400 are arranged along the arrangement direction a perpendicular to the normal direction N of the see-through bottom 1111. However, the foregoing arrangement direction a is not intended to limit the present invention. In other embodiments, the arrangement direction may be any direction that is not parallel to the normal direction N of the transparent bottom surface.
In addition, in order to avoid the influence of the intelligent monitoring device 10 on the intelligent monitoring device (not shown) adjacent to the water meter (not shown), in the embodiment, the arrangement direction a is further parallel to the fluid flowing direction E of the water meter body 22, thereby reducing the width of the intelligent monitoring device 10.
It is next described how the intelligent monitoring device 10 intelligently obtains the cumulative water usage information for the water meter 20.
First, the information of the accumulated water consumption in the observation cover 24 of the water meter 20 is photographed through the photographing lens 220 of the photographing assembly 200 to obtain an image data. Then, the image data is processed by the communication processing component 300 to convert the accumulated water consumption in the image data from the image into a numerical value. The accumulated water usage is then transmitted back to the waterworks via the communication chip 320 of the communication processing module 300. Therefore, the labor cost of meter reading personnel and the time cost required by meter reading can be saved.
It should be noted that the communication processing component 300 of the present embodiment transmits the accumulated water consumption value back to the water plant by wireless transmission, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the accumulated water usage value may be transmitted back to the waterworks by wired transmission.
In addition, since the observation cover 24 is assembled to the water meter body 22 in a locking manner, the final position of the observation cover 24 after locking is not fixed. Therefore, the lower shell 110 can also be designed to be capable of adjusting the rotation position relative to the observation cover 24, so that the photographing lens 220 can correct the photographing range and the photographing direction of the photographing lens 220 by rotating the relative position of the lower shell 110 and the observation cover 24.
In this embodiment and other embodiments, besides the bottom 111 having the see-through bottom 1111 for the lens of the camera module 200 to capture the accumulated water consumption information, the portion of the annular side portion 112 surrounding the first circular groove segment S1 also has a see-through side 1122 for the user to directly observe the water consumption information with the naked eye.
Please refer to fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a schematic view of a second embodiment of the present invention illustrating a partially exploded intelligent monitoring device and a water meter.
In the present embodiment, the intelligent monitoring device 10' further includes a heat insulation shield 500. The heat shield 500 has two snap tabs 510, and the two snap tabs 510 are fastened to the lower shell 110 of the housing 100 to cover the housing 100 therein. Therefore, if the water meter 20 is not disposed in the water meter box but exposed to the sun, the intelligent monitoring device 10 'can be prevented from being exposed to the sun by the heat-insulating shade 500, and the service life of the electronic components inside the intelligent monitoring device 10' can be further prolonged.
According to the intelligent monitoring device of the embodiment, the accumulated water consumption information in the observation cover of the water meter is shot through the photographic lens of the photographic assembly. Then, the accumulated water consumption value is transmitted back to the water works through the communication chip of the communication processing assembly. Therefore, the labor cost of meter reading personnel and the time cost required by meter reading can be saved.
Moreover, the section difference between the observation cover of the water meter and the pipeline of the water meter body is utilized to accommodate the part of the communication processing substrate, so that the height of the intelligent monitoring device protruding out of the observation cover is reduced.
In addition, the arrangement direction is parallel to the fluid flowing direction of the water meter body, so that the width of the intelligent monitoring device is reduced, and the intelligent monitoring device is prevented from interfering with the adjacent intelligent monitoring device.
