[0023] The specific implementation of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0024] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "vertical", "horizontal", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" used in the present invention to indicate the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0025] In the description of the invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "provided with", "connected", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0026] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a meter reading device assisting a meter reader according to a further embodiment of the present invention comprises: an operating rod 1 and a mounting seat 2; a placement space 21 is provided in the middle of the mounting seat 2, a camera is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 2, the camera can take pictures and can send the photographed information to a mobile phone 200, the placement space 21 can be used to place the meter reader 100, and the mounting seat 2 is rotatably connected to the operating rod 1.
[0027] Based on the above scheme, in this embodiment, the meter reading device is placed in the placement space 21, and then the meter reading device is raised by the cooperation of the operating rod 1 and the mounting seat 2. Since the camera can send the captured image to the mobile phone 200, the staff can adjust the position of the operating rod 1 at any time, avoiding the need for the staff to climb high for reading, reducing safety risks. The mounting seat 2 and the operating rod 1 are rotatably connected, and the operator can adjust the mounting seat 2 to different angles to achieve multi-scene reading, thereby improving the versatility and flexibility of the device.
[0028] Preferably, the auxiliary meter reader meter reading device further comprises a rotating assembly 3, the rotating assembly 3 comprises a ball head connector 31 and a limit seat 32, the ball head connector 31 is rotatably connected to the limit seat 32, the ball head connector 31 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 2, and the limit seat 32 is connected to the operating rod 1.
[0029] The ball head connector 31 is rotatably connected to the groove of the limit seat 32. The ball head connector 31 allows free rotation in multiple directions, thereby increasing the flexibility of the mounting seat 2. The limit seat 32 is used to limit the ball head connector 31 to only rotate and not fall off. The auxiliary meter reading device is particularly suitable for scenarios where the meter reading angle and position need to be flexibly adjusted. For example, in a space-constrained environment such as an electric meter box or a water meter well, the position and angle of the meter reading device can be conveniently adjusted by rotating the component 3 to improve the meter reading efficiency.
[0030] Preferably, the meter reading device of the auxiliary meter reader further comprises a turntable 4, which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting seat 2, and the turntable 4 is fixedly connected to the ball head connector 31, and the mounting seat 2 is axially rotatably connected to the operating rod 1 through the turntable 4 and the rotating assembly 3. The turntable 4 allows the mounting seat 2 and the meter reading device thereon to rotate freely in the axial direction. This rotation function enables the meter reading device to more easily adapt to electric meters or water meters at different angles and positions, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of meter reading.
[0031] Preferably, the turntable 4 is a damping turntable and can be fixed at any angle. The use of the damping turntable 4 and its ability to be fixed at any angle further improves the practicality and user experience of the auxiliary meter reading device and meets various meter reading requirements.
[0032] Preferably, the mounting base 2 is provided with an observation hole 22, which is connected to the placement space 21, and the camera shoots through the observation hole 22. The camera is placed in the placement space 21 and is aimed at the electric meter through the observation hole 22, which can protect the camera from being bumped by the mounting base 2 and meet the shooting requirements.

Through the rotation connection, the extension rod 5 can be freely bent and stretched as needed, providing a larger operating space for the meter reader.
[0035] Preferably, the outer periphery of the operating rod 1 and the extension rod 5 is wrapped with an insulating layer. The main function of the insulating layer is to provide electrical isolation to prevent the meter reader from suffering electric shock due to direct contact with live parts during operation, and to ensure the safety of the meter reader when grasping the operating rod 1 and the extension rod 5.
[0036] Specifically, the insulating layer may be made of rubber, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene or synthetic fiber, which is not limited here.

The light of the illuminator can ensure that the light can evenly illuminate the meter area, thereby improving the visibility and accuracy of meter reading. Moreover, the interval setting can also prevent the heat generated by the illuminator from causing adverse effects on the camera.
[0038] Preferably, the mounting base 2 is provided with a lighting hole 23, the lighting hole 23 is connected to the placement space 21, and the lighting lamp is illuminated through the lighting hole 23. The lighting hole 23 makes the structure of the meter reading device more compact, the lighting lamp is installed in the placement space 21, and the lighting lamp is protected by the mounting base 2, while maintaining a good lighting effect.
[0039] Preferably, the operating rod 1 is fixedly connected to a mobile phone 200 fixing bracket, and the mobile phone 200 fixing bracket can mount the mobile phone 200. The mobile phone 200 fixing bracket is fixed to the operating rod 1 to ensure that the mobile phone 200 can remain stable during the meter reading process and will not fall due to shaking or vibration. In addition, the mobile phone 200 is connected to the camera for communication, which can facilitate the meter reader to read the location of the mounting seat 2.
[0040] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention provides a meter reading device for an auxiliary meter reader, which places the meter reading device in the placement space 21, and then raises the meter reading device through the cooperation of the operating rod 1 and the mounting seat 2. Since the camera can send the captured image to the mobile phone 200, the staff can adjust the position of the operating rod 1 at any time, avoiding the need for the staff to climb high for reading, and reducing safety risks. The mounting seat 2 and the operating rod 1 are rotatably connected, and the operator can adjust the mounting seat 2 to different angles to achieve multi-scene reading, thereby improving the versatility and flexibility of the device.
