The invention relates to an
automatic meter reading system for water meters through short messages, which comprises a water meter transmitting module and a collector, wherein the water meter transmitting module is matched and installed together with a basic meter of an underground water meter; the collector is installed on the ground; the water meter transmitting module and the collector form a
wireless receiving and transmitting
system; the water meter transmitting module comprises a meter shell, an RF
wireless receiving and transmitting module circuit board, a battery chamber and a magnetic-sensitive component, wherein the RF
wireless receiving and transmitting module circuit board, the battery chamber and the magnetic-sensitive component are fully sealed in the meter shell; the collector comprises a power supply circuit, a
single chip microprocessor MCU
control circuit, a
GSM short message module, a memory circuit, a
clock circuit, an
infrared communication circuit and a wireless receiving and transmitting circuit; and the power supply of the collector uses a power supply mode of commercial power as main power matched with a battery as supplement power and realizes automatic selection and switching through a
relay J1. In the invention, a split type structure is used, a sampling circuit and the basic meter of the water meter are installed together to form a sealed water meter module, and the
power consumption is small; and the collector is installed outside a meter well, the power supply mode of the
GSM module can be automatically switched and be convenient for debugging production or customer use, and an SIM card can be replaced at any time easily and conveniently and also has good expandability.
