The invention relates to the technical field of detection supports, in particular to a water meter detection support with an adjusting mechanism, which comprises a water meter detection support main body. The water meter detection support main body comprises a working platform, a movable sliding plate is fixedly mounted at the top end of the working platform, a sliding groove is transversely formed in the top end of the movable sliding plate, the number of the sliding grooves is two, and a rectangular sliding block is slidably mounted at the top end of the movable sliding plate. By arranging the rotary adjusting mechanism, the positioning block can be clamped into the positioning groove, so that the water meter main body is quickly overturned and then positioned, the water meter main bodydoes not need to be disassembled and positioned and fixed again, a worker can conveniently perform overturning adjustment and detection, the overturning time is greatly saved, the continuity of the water meter in the detection process is improved, the water meter detection efficiency is greatly improved, on one hand, the anti-abrasion pads increase resistance, on the other hand, the two sides of the water meter main body are protected, a shell of the water meter main body is prevented from being abraded, and the water meter main body is prevented from being scratched and paint of the water meter body is prevented from falling off.
