[0032] A flow totalizer, comprising:

[0033] Flow totalizer body 1;

[0034] RS485 socket 2, which is provided on the lower inner wall of the flow totalizer body 1;

[0035] Main slot 3, main slot 3 is opened at the upper end of RS485 socket 2;

[0036] The anti-reverse slot 4 is provided at the upper end of the RS485 socket 2;

[0037] RS485 module mainboard 5, RS485 module mainboard 5 is slidably connected in the main slot 3 and the anti-reverse slot 4;

[0038] The fixing component is provided with two groups, each group of fixings includes a reinforcement groove 6, a reinforcement block 7, a limit sleeve 8, a limit slider 9 and a spring 10.
