[0029] Example:

[0030] As attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 , Attachment Figure 3 , Attachment Figure 4 , Attachment Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 As shown:

[0031] The utility model provides a gas meter with an anti-backflow function, comprising a gas meter body 1, wherein an air inlet and an air outlet are respectively arranged on both sides of the top of the gas meter body 1, a display screen is arranged on one side of the gas meter body 1, and a counter is installed inside the gas meter body 1, and a mounting mechanism 7 is provided on the side of the gas meter body 1 away from the display screen, an air inlet pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the air inlet end of the gas meter body 1, an air outlet pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the air outlet end of the gas meter body 1, a filtering device 4 is installed on the inner wall of the air inlet pipe 3, a spiral impeller 6 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the air outlet pipe 5, a protective shell 2 is rotatably installed on the gas meter body 1 at the top of the display screen, and the inner wall size of the protective shell 2 is matched with the outer wall size of the display screen.

[0032] Among them, the filtering device 4 includes a fixed frame 401, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the air inlet pipe 3, and a pair of telescopic rods 402 are symmetrically welded to the inner wall of the fixed frame 401, and the outer walls of the pair of telescopic rods 402 are slidably sleeved with a first spring 403, and the pair of telescopic rods 402 are fixedly connected to a baffle 404 at one end away from the fixed frame 401, and the pair of baffles 404 are respectively slidably connected to the inner wall of the air inlet pipe 3 at one end away from the telescopic rods 402.

[0033] Among them, the inner wall of the intake pipe 3 is clamped with a filter plate 405, and the bottom ends of a pair of baffles 404 are respectively abutted against the two sides of the top of the filter plate 405, and the filter plate 405 is installed in the inner wall of the intake pipe 3. During the installation process, the outer wall of the filter plate 405 squeezes the baffle 404 to shrink, and at the same time, the baffle 404 squeezes the first spring 403, so that the elastic potential energy of the first spring 403 increases and the telescopic rod 402 shrinks. When the filter plate 405 is installed to the corresponding position, the filter plate 405 moves to the bottom of the baffle 404, and the filter plate 405 releases the squeezing of the baffle 404. At this time, the elasticity of the first spring 403 is used to squeeze the filter plate 405. The potential energy of the filter plate 405 pushes the baffle 404 and moves the baffle 404 to the top of the filter plate 405, limiting the filter plate 405 to prevent it from moving during use, and then using the filter plate 405 to filter impurities in the gas entering the intake pipe 3 to prevent impurities from entering the gas meter and causing damage to the device. When the filter plate 405 needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to manually press the baffle 404 to release the limit on the filter plate 405, and then take out the filter plate 405 and replace it, and at the same time use the elastic potential energy of the first spring 403 to reset the baffle 404.

[0034] Among them, the installation mechanism 7 includes a mounting plate 701, the inner wall of the mounting plate 701 is slidably connected with a connecting block 702, the connecting block 702 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the gas meter body 1, and mounting grooves are provided on both sides of the connecting block 702, and a pair of mounting grooves are slidably connected inside with a clamping block 704.

[0035] The inside of the pair of installation grooves are both connected with a second spring 703 , and one end of the second spring 703 is fixedly connected to the clamping block 704 .

[0036] Among them, the inner wall of the installation plate 701 and the corresponding position of the clamping block 704 are provided with a clamping groove, and the clamping block 704 and the clamping groove are engaged with each other.

[0038] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when in use, the connecting block 702 fixedly connected to the gas meter body 1 is inserted into the mounting plate 701, and the inner wall of the mounting plate 701 is used to squeeze the card block 704. The card block 704 is forced to shrink and squeeze the second spring 703, so that the elastic potential energy of the second spring 703 increases. When the position of the card block 704 moves to correspond to the card slot provided on the inner wall of the mounting plate 701, the elastic potential energy of the second spring 703 is used to push the card block 704 into the card slot, so as to achieve a fixed connection between the mounting plate 701 and the connecting block 702, thereby achieving a quick installation of the gas meter body 1. By pushing the push rod 705 to move in the slide slot, the card block 704 in the card slot is withdrawn, which can achieve The quick disassembly of the gas meter body 1 greatly improves the convenience of installation. Subsequently, the outlet pipe 5 is connected to the outlet end of the gas meter body 1, and the spiral impeller 6 connected to the inner wall of the outlet pipe 5 is rotated. When the gas flows through the spiral impeller 6, the spiral impeller 6 is driven to rotate, thereby accelerating the flow of gas. The gas will pass through the side of the spiral impeller 6, and the gas outlet will not be blocked by the movable cover. When the gas flows back, the backflow of the gas will be blocked by the spiral impeller 6, which can effectively prevent the gas from flowing back. Finally, by rotating the protective shell 2 connected to the top of the display screen, the display screen on the gas meter body 1 can be protected to prevent the display screen from being damaged by external forces and affecting normal meter reading.
