While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof are shown by way of example in the drawings and will herein be described in detail. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not intended to be limited to the particular embodiments, but includes all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The terminology used in this application is used only to describe a specific embodiment and is not intended to limit the invention. The singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
Fig. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a water metering damper preventing system according to the present invention.
In the present invention, the water meter (22) is located inside the meter box (20).

The control device can be equipped with an IOT chip to enable communication. If the control device can communicate via the IOT chip and the water meter is an electronic meter, remote meter reading (meter reading at a remote location) can be implemented. You can also remotely determine if there is a failure. For example, if it is understood that the measurement result of the

The connection line should not be corroded by long exposure to tap water in the water pipe and should be made of a material that does not release harmful components. Accordingly, the
Various methods may be used to penetrate the connection line between the
The first method is to draw the water inside the water pipe and then insert the connection wire into the water pipe by pulling the connection wire at one end of the wire which is passed first by using a thin and stiff wire.
The second method is a method using a moving object.
The moving object is a spherical object that has a density similar to that of water. When the moving object is poured into the water pipe and water is shed, the moving object moves along the water flow direction. At this time, the moving object may be shaped like an umbrella, not a spherical shape. If you have an umbrella-like shape, you can more effectively receive the force that moves by the flow of water. If the moving body is made umbrella-shaped, the connecting line can be connected to the first handle portion.

After the connection line is fixed to the moving
With the second method, even if the water pipe between the
Therefore, the second method involves the following five steps.
(1) Step 1: Fixing the end portion of the connecting line to the moving body
(2) Step 2: Step of inserting the moving body into the branched branch hole of the meter
(3) Third step: Water is flowed into the water pipe to move the moving body to the indoor branched branch hole
(4) fourth step: extracting the moving body into the indoor branching branch hole
(5) fifth step: separating the end portion of the connecting line from the moving body
After the fifth step, the end of the connecting line may be connected to the
A third method is to use a mobile body, not to directly connect the connecting line to a moving body, but to connect a string such as a fishing line through a water pipe by using a connecting line, and then to connect the connecting line through the water pipe by using the string. A string such as a fishing line is thinner and easier to swivel than a connecting line, so it is more advantageous than a connecting line to penetrate a water pipe.
Therefore, the third method involves the following seven steps.
(1) Step 1: Fixing the end portion of the string to the moving body
(2) Step 2: Step of inserting the moving body into the branched branch hole of the meter
(3) Step 3: The water is flowed into the water pipe to move the strap to the indoor branch branch hole (at this time, the branched branch hole of the meter branch may be blocked so as to prevent water from leaking into the branched branch hole of the meter) The length of the length corresponding to the distance from the diverging hole of the meter branch to the branching hole of the indoor branching part can be put in advance in the water pipe so that even if one end of the string is fixed to the diverging hole of the meter branch, It is not disturbed when moving to the branch hole)
(4) fourth step: extracting the moving body into the indoor branching branch hole
(5) Step 5: separating the end portion of the string from the moving body
(6) Step 6: fixing the end portion of the string to the connecting line
(7) Step 7: a step of pulling the string and pulling the connecting line so as to penetrate the connecting line through the water pipe (i.e., pulling the strap to penetrate the connecting line between the indoor branching portion and the meter branching portion)
After the seventh step, the end of the connection line may be connected to the
If there is a check valve in the water pipe, water pollution due to backflow of the water pipe can be prevented. The meter branching part (50) or the indoor branching part (60) according to the present invention may include a check valve.

Since the 'meter branch' is located outside (outside the building), it may be called 'outdoor branch'. In this case, the branching hole of the meter branching part can be called as the branching hole of the outdoor branching part, and the cap of the branching part of the meter can be called as the lid of the outdoor branching part.
When the remote meter reading function according to the present invention is implemented, it may be implemented without a freeze prevention device. That is, in the state that the water meter is not equipped with a frost prevention device, the connection line can be passed between the water pipes for inspection of the electronic meter.
At this time, the connection line includes a wire for transmitting meter reading data or a wire for supplying electric power to the electronic meter.
Therefore, it is possible to modify it as in the first and second modified embodiments of the present invention.
