Example of implementation 2 Referring to figures 1 to 4, the present invention proposes a technical solution: the left and right sides of the instrument housing 2 and the water pipe housing 1 are each fixedly connected to a mounting plate 20 3, and the internal surface of the mounting plate 3 has a mounting slot. BE2025 / 5599 11 Analysis of the above content: During the fixing of the instrument housing 2 and the water pipe housing 1, screws or other fixing structures are inserted into the mounting slot in order to fix the mounting plate 3, thus completing the installation and fixing of the instrument housing 2 and the water pipe housing 1.5 Example of embodiment 3 Please refer to Figures 1 to 4, the present invention provides a technical solution: the lower left end of the water pipe housing (1) is fixed securely to a dehumidification box (4), the lower left end of the pipe housing 10The water pipe box (1) is attached to a vacuum fan (5). The bottom of the instrument box (2) is attached to a ventilation cover (23), the right end of which is connected by a conduit to the lower right end of the instrument box (2). The bottom of the ventilation cover (23) communicates with several air outlet ports (24) arranged at regular intervals. The suction end of the vacuum fan (5) is connected by a conduit to the top of the dehumidification box (4), and its discharge end enters the interior of the water pipe box (1) via a conduit to communicate with its lower left end. The inlet of the vacuum fan (5) is electrically connected. connected by a wire to the output of the processor (19). The upper right part of the water pipe box (1) is provided with an exhaust pipe (12) one end of which extends inside said box, and the lower part of this exhaust pipe (12) is connected to several air bypass pipes (11), while the upper part of the pipe 25The exhaust (12) is equipped with a one-way valve (15). BE2025 / 5599 12 The bottom of the dehumidification box (4) is screwed to a connecting ring (10) whose lower outer surface is provided with anti-slip ridges; the upper inner part of the connecting ring (10) is fixed to a ventilation grille (9) located inside the dehumidification box (4), said ventilation grille (9) contains desiccant granules (8), and the upper part of this grille (9) is provided with a cap (7). Analysis of the above content: Electric control valve No. 1 (20) and electric control valve No. 2 (14) are both existing “three-protection” valves, i.e., equipped with a design10 anti-backflow, anti-drip, and anti-rotation. A suitable temperature range is predefined and stored in the processor (19); based on the temperature measurement by the temperature and humidity sensor (21), when the internal temperature of the water pipe box (1) and the instrument box (2) exceeds this range, the processor (19)15The vacuum fan(5) is activated. The vacuum fan(5) can draw air from the dehumidification box(4) through a duct, then send it to the left end of the internal cavity of the instrument box(2). The air circulates from the left end to the right end of the instrument box(2), carrying away heat, which cools the water quality monitoring equipment(22), the processor(19), the communication module(18) and the water flow sensor(17). The air located at the right end of the internal cavity of the instrument box (2) can enter the ventilation hood (23) through a duct (25), be expelled downwards through the air outlet ports (24), and the resulting airflow can cool electric control valve No. 1 (20) and electric control valve No. 2 (14). BE2025 / 5599 13 When the quantity of air in the water duct box (1) increases, this air can enter the exhaust pipe (12) through the air bypass ducts (11), and then be expelled to the outside after passing through theunidirectional valve(15), which gives the water meter box a thermal dissipation capacity.5 It should be noted that rubber sealing sleeves are arranged at the crossings of the water pipe(6) and the distribution branch pipe(16) in the water pipe box(1), thus ensuring the sealing of the latter. Thanks to the arrangement of the connecting ring (10), the ventilation grille (9) containing the desiccant granules (8) can be screwed into the dehumidification box (4), and the presence of the cap (7) facilitates the replacement of the desiccant granules (8) inside the ventilation grille (9). After the ventilation grille (9) containing the desiccant granules (8) has been inserted into the dehumidification box (4), when the negative pressure fan (5) draws air from the dehumidification box (4), the outside air must pass through the desiccant granules (8) before being drawn in, which allows the air used for circulating cooling to also have a dehumidification effect.dehumidification, thus ensuring the proper functioning of this 20 smart water meter box. Based on the embodiments described above, it is also possible to combine the solution defined in said embodiments with existing software technologies, the specific operation being as follows: 25 BE2025 / 5599 14 In the present solution, thanks to the co
