Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of water meters, in particular to a deep well intelligent water meter. Background Art

[0002] Smart water meters are widely used because of their convenience in reading flow data. In order to prevent the water meter from freezing and affecting normal use in northern regions, water meters are often installed in water meter wells. However, the environment in the water meter well is humid and even water may accumulate. Smart water meters are usually equipped with batteries, circuit boards and various electronic components. Therefore, smart water meters in water meter wells have high requirements for sealing, and special deep well smart water meters are required.

[0003] At present, deep well smart water meters on the market generally use the method of overall glue filling to seal the circuit board and other components together in the outer cover. Although this method ensures the sealing, the outer cover can only be replaced as a whole during later maintenance, which increases the maintenance cost. Utility Model Content
