[0056] When the first threaded rod 33 moves, the first clamping block 34 will move closer to or farther away from the water meter body 11 accordingly, thereby achieving the function of fixing or releasing the water meter;

[0057] Working principle:

[0058] Since different water meter specifications are used in different scenarios, the alarm component needs to be installed on the outer surface of the water meter body 11;

[0059] First, the staff first places the limit column 35 facing the water meter body 11 from above, and then moves the limit column 35 downward so that the first clamping block 34 and the second clamping block 38 are located on both sides of the water meter;

[0060] Then, the staff rotates the first threaded rod 33, and the first threaded rod 33 rotates inside the first fixing plate 31, and moves so that the first clamping block 34 clamps the water meter body 11;
