The embodiments of the water pipes according to the present invention will be described with reference to the related drawings. For the sake of understanding, the same components in the following embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a water pipe with a flow detection function. In the first figure, the water pipe with the flow detection function includes a first flow meter A, a water pipe body 111, a second flow meter B, a processing unit 20, and a display list. In element 21, the first flow meter A contains a drain element 10. The second flow meter B contains a pumping element 11 therein. Wherein, the water pipe body 111 is a hollow passage for fluid to flow therethrough. The first flow meter A is disposed at the front end of the water pipe body 111 and has a function of calculating a flow rate per unit time of the fluid. The second flow meter B is disposed at the rear end of the water pipe body 111 and has a function of calculating a flow rate per unit time of the fluid. The processing unit 20 is electrically connected to the first flow meter A and the second flow meter B respectively, and sends a signal according to the difference between the unit time flow measured by the first flow meter A and the second flow meter B. The display unit 21 is electrically connected to the processing unit 20 to receive the signal sent by the processing unit 20 to correspondingly display the blocking degree of the water tube body 111. The signal is illuminated by data, symbols or a plurality of LEDs. It is indicated that the processing unit 20 is a single-wafer microcomputer. Specifically mentioned here, the figure shows the components of the water pipe with the flow detection function, that is, the first flow meter A, the water pipe body 111, the second flow meter B, the processing unit 20, the display The unit 21, the draining element 10, and the pumping element 11 are all described in the following embodiments as long as they are in an actuating relationship with each other, that is, without departing from the teaching scope of the present invention.

In other words, please refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a water pipe with a flow detection function. The water pipe body 111 has a hollow passage for conveying the fluid. If the fluid flow rate is to be calculated, the draining element 10 in the first flow meter A and the pumping element 11 in the second flow meter B are first closed, and the fluid flows into the water tube body 111 via the first flow meter A and then flows to the second flow rate. In the calculation of the flow rate, the fluid is withdrawn by the pumping element 11. The first flow meter A has a hollow structure, and the bottom of the first flow meter A has an openable and closable draining element 10. When the fluid flow rate needs to be calculated, the draining element 10 is to be in a closed state, and the fluid cannot flow directly at this time. Water pipe body 111 is required Through the first flow meter A; if it is not necessary to calculate the fluid flow discharge element is present in an open state. The bottom of the second flow meter B has an openable and closable pumping element 11. When the second flow meter B is to calculate the fluid flow rate, the pumping element 11 is in a closed state, and the second flow meter B can be turned on when the fluid flow rate is calculated. The pumping element 11 draws the fluid out. The first flow meter A and the second flow meter B are electrically connected to the processing unit 20 to transmit the calculated fluid flow result signal to the display unit 21.

Please refer to FIG. 3 , which is a wire diagram of a water pipe for creating a flow detection function. Both the first flow meter A and the second flow meter B comprise a plurality of wires, the first flow meter A and the second One of the wires of the flow meter B is grounded and located at a first height. The other end of the first wire 210 is electrically coupled to the power source. One of the wires is located at one end of the second wire 220. a second height, and the other end of the second wire 220 is electrically coupled to the power supply and the processing unit 20, wherein one end of the third wire 230 is at a third height, and the other end of the third wire 230 is electrically connected. One end of the fourth wire 240 is disposed at a fourth height, and the other end of the fourth wire 240 is electrically coupled to the power source and the processing unit 20. The first wire 210, the second wire 220, the third wire 230, and the fourth wire 240 are electrically connected to the processing unit 20, and the other ends are respectively located at different heights, by the first wire 210 and the second wire 220. The third wire 230 and the fourth wire 240 are located at different heights to calculate the time flow of the fluid from the third wire 230 to the fourth wire 240, and the second wire 220 is the water level of the pumping stop for the next test, the second flow meter The principle of B is the same as described above, and the data analysis of the first flow meter A and the second flow meter B is used to determine whether there is a blocking situation.

For example, as shown in Figure 2. If it is assumed that the time flow rate of the first flow meter A is 60 ml/sec and the time flow rate of the second flow meter B is 35 ml/sec or more, indicating that the flow rate of the second flow meter B is reduced to 20 ml/sec, then the time flow rate of the second flow meter B is decreased to 20 ml/sec. Indicates that there is a slight blockage, and if the time flow rate of the second flow meter B is 8 ml/sec, it means that the blockage is severe. Further, it is assumed that the time flow rate of the first flow meter A is 30 ml/sec, and the time flow rate of the second flow meter B is 20 ml/sec, which does not mean that there is slight blockage. Also, if the time flow rate of the second flow meter B is 10 ml/sec, it means that there is a slight blockage. Moreover, if the time flow rate of the second flow meter B is 3 ml/sec, it means that the blockage is severe.

In summary, in the water pipe with the flow detection function, the fluid flow is calculated through the first flow meter A and the second flow meter B, and then a signal is transmitted to the processing unit 20 and the water pipe body 111 is presented by the display unit 21. The degree of blockage.
