The rotational speed of the impeller can be known by the rotational angle, and the flow rate according to the rotational speed can be converted.
As described above, since the rotation of the impeller can be detected through the sensor, the conventional disadvantages can be compensated for and convenience of the meter reading can be brought about. However, since the power source for driving the electronic part is required, The life of the battery is shortened due to a temperature factor and a defective production process, and thus the life of the battery can not be guaranteed.
That is, the conventional digital water meter frequently suffers from the loss of function of the digital water meter due to abnormal consumption of the battery.
As mentioned above, the biggest problem of the conventional digital water meter is that when the battery is in trouble, the accumulated flow rate can not be seen.
The mechanical water meter can detect the state before a problem occurs even if a problem occurs. However, since the digital water meter can not know the accumulated amount through the LCD screen or communication when a battery trouble occurs, the maximum It becomes a stumbling block.
A typical digital water meter or battery consumption can be used for at least nine years, but a metering device that can not exceed the minimum life span (8 years) due to changes in various conditions, such as mistakes in production processes and changes in external temperature.
Therefore, a technique for fundamentally solving this has become necessary.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of a digital water meter capable of operating with external power supply according to the present invention will be described in detail.
FIG. 1 is a general block diagram of a digital water meter that can be operated by receiving external power according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a general block diagram of an outdoor indicator.
1, a general digital water meter includes a
The general outdoor unit includes a
As described above, since the general digital water meter is operated independently from the outdoor instruction unit, if a problem occurs in the life of the battery, the power supply can not be supplied from the outside, and the calculated flow rate value can not be seen.
In addition, since the digital water meter has to be waterproof, the interior is molded and can not be seen.
3 is a circuit diagram of a digital water meter capable of operating with an external power supply according to an embodiment of the present invention and an outdoor instruction unit for supplying power.
3, the
The operation voltage adjustment and
In other words, it protects the system from static electricity.
For example, when the power supply is 3.6 V or more, the adjustment is performed within a voltage range for protecting and operating the water meter. When static electricity is supplied, the system is protected by discharging through D11 shown in the figure.
The reverse voltage protection circuit portion is configured to prevent reverse voltage application.
In addition, the battery internal current leakage preventing
That is, it is configured on one side of the operation voltage adjustment and
In addition, the internal battery power
For example, if the system operation power source is abnormal even when the power is turned on, it is a circuit unit for ensuring Q8 operation. When the external power is applied, the power supply of the internal battery is cut off. When the external power is not applied, As shown in FIG.
The
The external power
Specifically, the external power
This is to power the dead digital water meter and run it, and to read accumulated flow to date.
For example, the ON condition is a connection between the digital water meter and the outdoor display unit through serial communication, and the outdoor indicator battery level is more than 80%.
On the other hand, when the remaining amount of the battery of the outdoor indication unit is less than 80% and the serial waterproof meter no longer responds to the condition, the
The internal battery
For example, when the Vcc output terminal (EXT_Vcc_OUT) is connected to the ground or is connected to the '-' power supply, the overcurrent is prevented from flowing.
That is, the overcurrent output recognizing
At this time, the overcurrent output
Specifically, since the overcurrent output recognizing
Therefore, in the central processing unit, the external power
The noise
Also, the reverse voltage
That is, the voltage is higher than the internal battery voltage through the EXT_Vcc_OUT terminal because there is a wrong connection from the outside, and the current flows into the inside to prevent the circuit from being destroyed.
FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of a digital water meter capable of operating with an external power supply according to an embodiment of the present invention.
That is, the voltage regulation and
If the operation voltage is exceeded by D11, it is adjusted to within the operating voltage. In case R12 has wrong polarity of the external battery, the external battery is discharged through D11 and it is disabled. .
In addition, D11 absorbs high voltage due to static electricity and prevents high voltage from entering into the system, thus making the system stable operation.
For example, when a power supply of 3.6V or more is connected from the outside, 3.6V or more is consumed by D11 (TVS diode) to protect the circuit, and current consumption is limited by R12.
When external static electricity is applied, D11 (TVS diode) absorbs and protects the circuit, and high frequency surge voltage passing through D11 is blocked by L4 (bead).
Meanwhile, a bead L4 is formed on one side of the voltage regulation and
In addition, C6 is formed on the Vcc line, and this power source is used as a power source of the digital water meter.
As described above, when the voltage is lower than the reverse voltage or the internal battery voltage, the internal current in the internal battery is prevented from leaking to the outside.
For example, if 0 V or less is applied to the outside, reverse bias is applied to D9 to prevent the internal power source from going out, and D7 prevents Q11 from malfunctioning.
D8 is an external voltage of 3.5V and internal battery voltage is 3V, it prevents the reverse flow to the battery. Since it is not a rechargeable battery, it is not charged because it flows in the reverse direction. It only increases.
The internal battery power
Further, Q11 is formed at the other end of R15, and R13 and R14 are formed at the base of Q11.
For example, when 3.5 V is applied from the outside, Q11 is operated by R13 and R14 voltage distribution through D7 through R12 through R12.
When Q11 operates, Q10 operates. When Q10 operates, Q8 becomes 0ff.
If external power is less than 2.5V, Q11 does not operate due to R13, R14 voltage distribution through R12, L4 and D7. If Q11 does not operate, Q10 does not operate, and Q8 operates do.
When Q8 is activated, battery power is supplied via Q8 and D8.
FIG. 5 is an illustration of a power supply circuit for entering an outdoor instruction unit of a digital water meter capable of operating with an external power supply according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The embodiment of Fig. 5 is presented to explain the circuit configuration of Fig. 3 in more detail.
The external power
As described above, when communication is established with the digital water meter, the remaining power of the internal battery is checked to supply power to the digital water meter.
The internal battery
That is, R7 is configured to prevent the internal battery from being rapidly discharged due to the discharge of the overcurrent.
The overcurrent output recognizing
Therefore, when recognizing the overcurrent, Q7 turns on and sends the status value to the central processing unit.
Thereafter, the external power
The noise
The reverse voltage
At this time, the EXT_Vcc_OUT terminal is provided on one side of D6 as shown in the figure, and the supplied power is supplied to the digital water meter.
For example, if the digital water meter is normally connected to the EXT_Vcc_OUT terminal, the status is requested through the serial communication.
Preferably, a request is made once a day, but the number of requests can be changed depending on the situation.
At this time, if there is a status response, check the internal battery status and if it is kept 80% or more, turn on Q6 to supply power to the digital water meter.
If the internal battery capacity drops below 80%, Q6 is turned off.
If the user can not obtain data even if the user requests the data through serial communication while the power supply is turned off, pressing the button of the outdoor indicator turns on Q6 for 30 seconds so that the user can check the state of the digital water meter.
However, if gnd is connected to the EXT_Vcc_OUT terminal due to improper wiring, turning on Q6 to supply power at 80% or more of battery condition causes overcurrent to flow. In this case, most of the voltage is applied to R7. When the voltage of R7 is ON and Q7 is ON, voltage is applied to R10 and the central processing unit recognizes this signal. At this time, Q6 is turned off, It is to block the supply.
In this case, after one day has elapsed, it is judged again and the power supply is confirmed again.
If static electricity enters the EXT_Vcc_OUT terminal during normal wiring or wiring or not during storage or transportation, it is blocked by the reverse voltage
The above-described configuration and operation improves the problem that the accumulated flow rate value can not be confirmed at the time of occurrence of the battery problem in the digital water meter, and the battery use time is shortened due to the battery or external environment problem. In order to extend the usage time, extra power remaining in the outdoor indicator is supplied to the digital water meter, so that the operation time of the digital water meter is increased without using the internal battery of the digital water meter, It is possible to maximize the use time and the effect of solving the disadvantage that the flow rate value can not be confirmed when the internal battery of the digital water meter is exhausted by making the operation possible through the power supplied from the outdoor instruction unit.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. It is to be understood, therefore, that the embodiments described above are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive.
The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the detailed description and all changes or modifications derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalents are to be construed as being included within the scope of the present invention do.
