Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water meters, in particular to an integrated wireless camera water meter. Background Art

[0002] A water meter is an instrument that measures water flow. With the development of technology, water meters are no longer limited to traditional mechanical water meters. Since traditional mechanical water meters require manual meter reading, the workload is large and the work efficiency is low, so camera water meters have emerged.

[0003] The camera water meter is based on installing a camera module above the water meter. The camera captures the readings on the water meter and then uploads the image information to the system platform through wired or wireless communication. The platform recognizes and converts it into water meter data output for water utilities to obtain.

[0004] However, most of the current camera water meters install the camera component on the outside of the water meter through a fixed bracket. For example, a half-type clamping ring is fixed to the meter cover of the mechanical water meter with screws, and then the camera module is connected to the clamping ring with screws. This installation method requires a certain amount of assembly space, and if it is assembled in a workshop, it may become loose during transportation. If it is installed on site, the assembly efficiency is low. Utility Model Content
