Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a gas meter controller mounting device that transmits meter reading values and security information of a gas meter to an information processing facility such as a gas manufacturer.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 The gas meter is mainly used to detect the amount of gas used, but in recent years, when the gas flow rate is abnormal, that is, when a gas leak occurs, the built-in shutoff valve is automatically closed. The so-called microcomputer meter has become widespread. Some of these microcomputer meters have a controller that transmits security information such as meter readings and gas flow rate abnormalities to gas manufacturers.

FIG. 10 shows an example in which the gas meter 1 which is a microcomputer meter and the controller 3 are installed outside the house 5. The gas meter 1 is connected between a gas inlet pipe 7 which communicates with a gas cylinder or the like (not shown) and a gas outlet pipe 9 which is connected to a combustor such as a gas range in a room. The gas inlet pipe 7 and the gas outlet pipe 9 are buried in the ground, and the gas meter 1 is supported by these pipes 7 and 9. The controller 3 is usually fixed to the outdoor wall 11 of the house near the gas meter 1 with a screw 13, and is connected to the gas meter 1 by an electric wire 15 for sending detection information on the gas meter 1 side to the controller 3.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, such a configuration in which the controller is screwed to the outer wall of the house spoils the aesthetics around the mounting part and damages the outer wall and intrusion of raindrops from this damaged part reduces the life of the outdoor wall of the house. Was there. The controller may be installed inside the house, but in this case as well, it is screwed to the wall inside the house, so there is the same problem as above except that the intrusion of raindrops can be prevented. In addition, since the gas meter is installed at a position away from the outdoor wall of the house, the electric wires connecting to the controller tend to be relatively long, which makes the wiring work troublesome, and can be tampered with, or bitten by a mouse, etc. There was fear.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to prevent deterioration of aesthetics around a controller mounting portion and damage to a wall of a house, and to shorten an electric wire connecting a gas meter and a controller.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve this purpose, the present invention has a gas meter installed in the middle of a gas supply pipe that transfers gas from a gas supply source to a combustor, and a gas meter that detects various kinds of information about the gas is installed outdoors. A controller for transmitting the information to an information processing facility is fixed to a fitting attached to the gas meter side.

[0007]

[Action]

 According to the above configuration, the controller is fixed to the fixture attached to the gas meter side, so that the controller does not need to be fixed to the wall of the house, but is installed very close to the gas meter. Become.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a mounting device of a gas meter controller showing a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a right side view of FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the gas meter 17 is connected between a gas inlet pipe 19 that communicates with a gas supply source such as a gas cylinder (not shown) and a gas outlet pipe 21 that is connected to a combustor such as an indoor gas range. ing. The gas inlet pipe 19 and the gas outlet pipe 21 compose a gas supply pipe. Both of the pipes 19 and 21 are partially buried in the ground, and the buried pipes 19 and 21 make the gas meter 17 a house. It is supported at a position slightly separated from the outer wall. The gas inlet pipe 19 and the gas outlet pipe 21 are both pipes 19a and 21a connected to the upper end of the gas meter 17, pipes 19b and 21b connected to the pipes 19a and 21a by joints 23 and 23, and a pipe 19b, 21b is provided with pipes 19c and 21c which are connected by joints 24 and 24 and which extend downward and are buried in the ground.

A controller 25 that transmits security information such as meter readings of the gas meter 17 and gas leaks to a gas maker, which is an information processing facility, is arranged near the right side of the gas meter 17 and has a mounting plate 27 as a mounting tool. It is supported by the pipes 19b and 21b through. The mounting plate 27 is fixed to the rectangular mounting surface 29 located on the side of the gas meter 17 by screws 31 and 33 at two upper and lower positions. A support portion 35 located between the gas meter 17 and the pipes 19b and 21b is provided at the upper end of the mounting plate 27. As shown in FIG. 2, the support portion 35 is bent into an L shape to form a bent surface 35a. On the other hand, a support member 37 is attached to each of the pipes 19b and 21b facing the bent surface 35a.

As shown in FIG. 3, which is an enlarged AA cross-sectional view of FIG. 2, the support member 37 is connected to both ends of the arc portion 37a, which covers the upper portions of the pipes 19b and 21b. A flange 39b extending laterally is provided, and the mounting hole 37c formed in the flange portion 37b and the mounting hole 35b formed in the bending surface 35a on the mounting plate 27 side are used to make a screw 39 and a nut. It is fixed to the fixing portion 35 by 41. The mounting hole 35b of the bent surface 35a is a long hole so that the span t between the pipes 19a and 21a can be applied to a plurality of models such as 130 mm and 90 mm, and even if the shape of the support 37 is changed. It has a shape and is formed in several places. The lower part of the gas meter 17 and the lower part of the controller 25 are connected by an electric wire 43 that transmits a signal such as a calibration value detected by the gas meter 17 to the controller 25.

In the mounting device of the gas meter controller having such a configuration, the controller 25 is fixed to the pipes 19b and 21b on the gas meter 17 side via the mounting plate 27 and the support member 37, so that the controller 25 is installed in a house. No need to screw to the wall. As a result, the controller 25 is not attached to the outdoor wall of the house, so that the appearance of the periphery of the mounting portion is not deteriorated and the wall is not damaged, so that raindrops are prevented from entering and the life of the outer wall is prevented from being shortened. Further, since the controller 25 is arranged close to the gas meter 17, the distance between them can be shortened as compared with the conventional example, so that the length of the electric wire 43 connecting them can be shortened. It is possible to prevent inconvenience caused by the electric wire 43 being tampered with or being bitten by a mouse or the like.

Although the controller 25 is provided on the right side of the gas meter 17 in FIG. 1, it is possible to change the shape of the mounting plate 27 as shown in FIGS. 4 to 9 in consideration of the surrounding installation space. It may be provided on the left side (FIGS. 4 and 5), the upper right side (FIGS. 6 and 7), and the upper left side (FIGS. 8 and 9) of the gas meter 17. Further, a plurality of elongated holes 45 are provided in a fixed portion on the same surface as the mounting surface 29, which fixes the support plate 27 when the support tool 37 is mounted on, for example, the pipes 19a and 21a. It is for. In addition, the mounting plate 27 may be mounted on the gas meter 17 itself.

[0014]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the controller that transmits information such as the calibration value of the gas meter to the information processing facility is fixed to the mounting plate that is mounted close to the gas meter side, so the controller is attached to the wall of the house. There is no need to use screws to prevent deterioration of the aesthetics around the mounting part, damage to the wall, and reduction of the life of the wall due to raindrop penetration from the damaged part. Further, since the controller is arranged close to the gas meter, the length of the wire connecting these two can be shortened, which facilitates the wiring work of the wire and makes the wire less susceptible to damage.
