DESCRIPTION

Device to measure and display water consumption

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention, as the title of this descriptive report establishes, a device to display water consumption, is an innovation that within current techniques provides advantages unknown until now.

TECHNIQUE SECTOR

The present invention is framed within the physics sector, especially in control or regulation systems in general.

STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE

The present invention arises regarding the uncontrolled use of water.

This is due to the fact that there is an increasing scarcity of water, due to the uncontrolled use of it, especially in hotels, hospitals and schools, among others.

Consequently, this invention presents a device to display water consumption that can be placed and removed, easily and comfortably in any pipe, without having to carry out invasive work on it.

Currently, the existence of any device to display water consumption that presents structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal or similar to those described in this specification, as claimed, is unknown.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is the creation of a device to display water consumption, which provides a notable innovation within its field of application in the current state of the art, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently included in the claims. endings that accompany this description.

The present invention is about a device to display water consumption, which comprises a display that has a connection piece associated with a clamp that cooperatively integrates at least one sensor.

This solves the problem that arises when excessive water consumption occurs.

This device is suitable, therefore, to visualize water consumption with the purpose of prudently controlling the use of this vital liquid.

To do this, this device has a sensor that is connected to a display with a digital screen that allows you to view the amount of water passing through a pipe, thus averaging, in real time, its consumption in a certain time. .

To use it, you will only have to place the clamp on the pipe that the user considers appropriate for carrying out the measurement, positioning the display in a visible and accessible way to the user, by freely rotating it through a rotating connector that integrates the device to display water consumption.

EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES

To complete the description that is being made and in order to help better understand the characteristics of the invention, this descriptive report is accompanied, as an integral part thereof, by a figure in which, for illustrative and non-limiting, the following has been represented.

Figure 1 corresponds to a perspective view of the device to show water consumption, detailing some of its components.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION.

The object of the present invention is a device to display water consumption, which provides a notable innovation within its field of application, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently included in the claims.

The device for displaying water consumption comprises a display (1) that has a connection piece (2) associated with a clamp (3) that integrates at least one sensor (4).

In a preferred embodiment, the display (1) houses high-tech electronic components that maintain a constant connection with at least one sensor (4).

Generally the sensor (4) is an ultrasonic sensor.

In the preferred embodiment, the display (1) is of the type that integrates a digital screen (1.1) where the information related to the water consumption detected and emitted by the sensor (4) is shown, said display (1) being suitable size and shape to be easily transported and placed on a pipe, maintaining the digital display (1.1) in proper orientation through the connection piece (2).

Preferably, the connection piece (2) is of the rotary connector type, which allows free 360° rotation of the clamp (3) with respect to the display (1), susceptible to favoring the accommodation of said display (1) in the pipe where the user intends to place it.

Preferably, the clamp (3) is of the type that has an open annular band (3.1) intended to be coupled by wrapping the pipe, said annular band (3.1) having fastening elements (3.2) that close said band ( 3.1), capable of allowing direct contact of the sensor (4) with the pipe where the user intends to place the aforementioned clamp (3).

Generally, the fastening elements (3.2) are of the screw and nut type that allow the closing and opening of said clamp (3), susceptible to removing and installing said clamp (3) in another pipe according to the preference and requirement of the user. user.

Preferably, the sensor (4) is of the flow sensor type that has an annular shape or not, intended to be arranged on the internal part of the clamp (3), in such a way that it can maintain direct contact with the pipe, capable of measuring the flow of water that passes through the pipe every certain time, determining the average consumption of water consumed in the pipe where the user intends to place it.

Generally, the display (1) presents buttons (1.2) for managing the control panel that presents the digital screen (1.1).

Preferably, the display (1) houses an electrical power source (5) of the rechargeable battery type with ample capacity and duration.

Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to make its explanation more extensive so that any expert in the field understands its scope and the advantages derived from it, stating that, within its essentiality, it may be put into practice in other embodiments that differ in detail from the one indicated as an example, since which will also achieve the protection sought as long as its fundamental principle is not altered, changed or modified.
