Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water meters, and in particular to an intelligent membrane block sealing structure for a NB water meter. Background Art
[0002] Water meters are instruments used to measure water flow, mostly cumulative water flow measurements, and are generally divided into two categories: volumetric water meters and velocity water meters. With the continuous development of information technology, the Internet of Everything has begun. Traditional reading of water meter data requires employees to observe and record one by one, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. In order to accurately and real-time calculate water meter data, a processing unit is also set up in the water meter, integrating the water meter into the Internet, and can quickly read data.
[0003] The existing NB smart water meter contains a large number of electronic devices, so a strict sealing and waterproof structure is required. The sealing structure of the existing NB smart water meter is relatively simple and the waterproof effect is poor, which makes the NB smart water meter easy to be penetrated by water and cause damage to the instrument. Summary of the invention

By twisting, the "n"-shaped sealing ring and the "human"-shaped sealing ring are brought close to and squeezed against each other, thereby achieving better sealing, thereby improving the problem that the existing NB smart water meter has a relatively simple sealing structure and poor waterproof effect, which makes the NB smart water meter easily penetrated by water and causes damage to the instrument.
[0015] 2. In the present invention, a humidity sensor is provided on the outside of the "human" shaped sealing ring, and there are four humidity sensors in a circular array with the center of the "human" shaped sealing ring.

The humidity changes around the humidity sensor can be monitored in real time through the "human" shaped sealing ring, and the control unit is electrically connected to an alarm unit through wires, and the alarm unit is electrically connected to an alarm through wires. Therefore, when the humidity sensor detects abnormal humidity, the control unit will cause the alarm to sound an alarm, thereby improving the problem of difficult-to-detect aging and water leakage of the sealing ring.
[0016] 3. The present invention can drive the fan blades to rotate through water flow, thereby causing the rotating shaft to rotate inside the rotating groove, and then the connecting rod can drive the fan blades to rotate so that the hammer rotates inside the rotating groove and continuously strikes the side of the fixing plate to continuously tighten it. Since the connecting rod is made of soft material, it will not hinder the rotation of the fan blades, thereby improving the problem of loose threads causing loose sealing.
