Problems solved by technology

Existing water meter products have many structural parts and many installation steps, and the whole needs to be fastened to the copper cover with screws, and some plastic parts may be damaged during disassembly to unscrew the screws
Compared with the mechanical part, the electronic components of the smart water meter are easily damaged, and the maintenance cost of the electronic components is relatively high. When replacing the electronic components, the meter needs to be re-calibrated every time. It is difficult to achieve quick installation, and the recycling cost of the electronic components is high.
For some users who have not yet used smart water meters, if they need to install smart water meters on the basis of mechanical water meters in the later stage, they may encounter troubles in modification, and even need to replace the mechanical water meters as a whole

Embodiment 1

[0019] Embodiment 1: as Figure 1-5 As shown, a water meter includes mechanical parts and electronic parts. The copper cover 2 is fixed on the mechanical body 1 of the water meter. The copper cover 2 is provided with screw holes, and the connecting piece 3 is fixed on the top of the copper cover 2 by screws. Installation, the contact surface between the connecting piece 3 and the upper surface of the copper cover 2 is provided with a screw mounting hole or a groove; the top inner wall of the outer cover 4 is provided with a buckle 40, and the connecting piece 3 is provided with a slot 30, and the buckle 40 includes a connecting piece 41 (or 43) and the clip 42 (or 44) at the end of the connecting piece, the clip slot 30 is L-shaped, including the guide slot 31 and the limit slot 32, and the outer cover 4 and the connector 3 are respectively provided with a plurality of buckles and clips Slots, buckles and card slots correspond one-to-one. During installation, the buckles are ...

Embodiment 2

[0023] Embodiment 2: as Figure 6-8 As shown, the difference between embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that the water meter does not contain electronic components, the outer cover 4 is the protective cover of the water meter, and the upper cover 7 is movably installed on the limiting member 6 . The outer cover 4 and the copper cover 2 are provided with the same connector 3 as that of Embodiment 1, and the fastening device and protection device between the outer cover 4 and the connector 3 are the same as those of Embodiment 1. The water meter structure of this embodiment can be used for traditional water meters. In production, it is convenient for users to upgrade the water meter to a smart water meter later. For example, when the user needs to customize the remote meter reading system, he only needs to remove the upper cover 7 and the limiter 6 in sequence, unscrew the screw between the outer cover 4 and the connecting member 3, rotate to unlock the buckle, remove the outer co...

Abstract

The invention discloses a water meter which comprises a water meter mechanical body, a copper cover and an outer cover. An upper cover is arranged on the outer cover. The water meter further comprises a connecting piece for connecting the copper cover with the outer cover. The connecting piece is fastened on the copper cover through screws. A buckling device is arranged between the outer cover and the connecting piece. By means of the water meter, the mode that an additionally-installed part of a traditional mechanical water meter is directly fixed to the copper cover through the screws is changed, the additionally-installed part is connected in a buckling type connecting mode, rapid clamping and rapid separating between the additionally-installed part and a mechanical part are achieved, and the assembling and disassembling speed of the additionally-installed part is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a water meter, in particular to a water meter which can be quickly installed and disassembled with additional parts and mechanical parts of the water meter. Background technique [0002] With the development of electronic technology and the Internet of Things, smart water meters have also been widely developed. At present, smart water meters basically adopt the structure of adding electronic components to traditional mechanical water meters. Existing water meter products have many structural components and many installation steps, and the whole needs to be fastened to the copper cover with screws. During disassembly, some plastic parts may be damaged before the screws can be unscrewed. Compared with the mechanical part, the electronic components of the smart water meter are easily damaged, and the maintenance cost of the electronic components is high. When replacing the electronic components, the meter needs to be re-calibrated...
