Description

The invention relates to domestic meters for accounting the flow of cold (hot) water by individual consumers in the face of changing modes and tariffs, as well as automated changes in modes and tariffs agreed upon with the consumer, transmitting information about the amount of water consumed and payment for the specified service, as well as preventing emergency situations .

A known water meter comprising a housing with a measuring device located therein (RF Patent for the invention No. 2333320, G01F 1/075, publ. 10/27/2008).

However, this device has low safety applications in the home and at work.

The closest in technical essence and the achieved result is a counter of consumption of cold (hot) water with an adaptive automatic control system, comprising a housing with an impeller and magnets, a counting mechanism, a sensor for remote transmission of readings and a sealing element (RF Patent for the invention No. 2498227, G01F 1 / 00, published on November 10, 2013).

The disadvantage of this device is the low safety of the meter in the home and at work, the lack of information exchange with the water supplier regarding the provision of the service and its payment, the lack of shutdown of the water supply in the event of a threat of flooding the apartment (premises) and fire from a short circuit in the water network, as well as in case of untimely payment of the provided service by the consumer.

The technical problem to which the invention is directed is to increase the safety of water consumption in the home and at work, to exchange information with the water supplier regarding the provision of the service and its payment, cut off the water supply in an emergency and in case of untimely payment for the service rendered by the consumer.

The technical result is achieved as follows: the counter of consumption of cold (hot) water with an adaptive automatic control system comprises a housing with an impeller and magnets, a counting mechanism, a sensor for remote transmission of readings and a sealing element, according to the invention, has a control unit for water consumption and a water leakage sensor based on shorting of electrical contacts located in the lowest or other place in the room, where the greatest probability of runoff resulting from the accident of water, bl to automatically shut off the water and electricity, information provision unit consumer water supplier, electricity provider, service MES, emergency power supply.

The equipment of the water meter with a water consumption control unit and a water leakage sensor based on the closure of electrical contacts located in the lowest or other place in the room, where the greatest likelihood of water flowing out as a result of an accident, increases the safety of water consumption at home and in production by automatically shutting off water water in an emergency.

The use of a unit for automatically shutting off water and electricity supply, a unit for providing information to a consumer, a water supplier, an electricity supplier, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, an emergency power supply unit allows for an information exchange with a water supplier regarding the provision of a service and its payment, and to turn off the water supply in an emergency and in case of untimely payment of the service provided by the consumer.

The invention is illustrated in the drawing, which shows a diagram of a water consumption meter with an adaptive automatic control system.

The counter of consumption of cold (hot) water with an adaptive automatic control system, contains a housing 1 with an impeller and magnets, a counting mechanism 2, a sensor for remote transmission of readings 3 and a sealing element. The water meter has a unit 4 for monitoring water consumption and a water leakage sensor 5 based on the closure of electrical contacts 6 located at the lowest or other place in the room, where there is the greatest likelihood of water flowing out as a result of an accident, block 7 for automatically shutting off the water and electricity supply, block 8 information support for the consumer, water supplier, electricity supplier, emergency services, emergency power supply 9.

The counter consumption of cold (hot) water with an adaptive automatic control system operates as follows.

When water 1 is supplied through the impeller of the counting mechanism 2, the water supply readings are recorded when the water consumption control unit 4 is turned on, which transmits information to the information support unit 8 of the consumer, water supplier, electricity supplier, Ministry of Emergencies, which processes the incoming information and makes the following decisions:

- if a water leak is detected using the sensor 5 based on the closure of electrical contacts 6, it gives a command to block 7 for automatically shutting off the water and electricity supply (in a known manner) and to block 8 for providing information to the consumer, water supplier, electricity supplier, service of the Ministry of Emergencies about the malfunction of technological equipment ;

- in the absence of damage, sends a command to turn on the meter to account for the consumed cold (hot) water;

- when the time comes to fix the volume of services for payment, the volume is fixed and then transferred to the supplier to calculate the amount to be paid and presented to the consumer for payment and to the consumer for information;

- in case of violation of the terms of the contract by the consumer (late payment of services or others) warns the consumer about the possibility of disconnecting the service, and for a long period of non-payment of the service - to shut off the water supply using block 7 to automatically turn off the water and electricity from the supplier.

Unlike analogues, the proposed design has increased safety of water consumption at home and at work as a result of preventing flooding of residential premises and a fire from a short circuit with water and ensures the fulfillment of contractual obligations by the supplier and the consumer through the organization of mutual information exchange.
