DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In the following description, a large number of specific details are given to provide a more thorough understanding of the utility model. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the utility model can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the utility model, some technical features known in the art are not described.

[0022] like Figure 1As shown, a split valve-controlled Internet of Things water meter includes a base meter 1, a base meter cover 2 is clamped on the base meter 1, a sensor module 242 is arranged in the base meter cover 2, the sensor module 242 is connected to the reporting component 4 through a connecting line 3, and the reporting component 4 is separately arranged from the base meter 1.

[0023] The utility model uses the connecting line 3 to extend the installation position of the reporting component 4 to the wellhead or other position with better signal, so that the electronic part involved in the reporting is separated from the base meter 1 and the base meter cover 2. The better installation position can increase the probability of successful signal reporting.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the base meter 1 includes a meter body 11 and a meter cover 12 mounted on the meter body 11, and the base meter cover 2 includes a cover body 21, and the cover body 21 is clamped on the meter cover 12 through a clamping buckle 211. Among them, the cover body 21 is provided with a limiting protrusion 212 that cooperates with the meter cover 12. The clamping of the cover body 21 and the meter cover 12 speeds up the assembly speed of the base meter 1 and the base meter cover 2, and the clamping buckle 211 and the limiting protrusion 212 on the inner wall of the cover body 21 are alternately arranged, which is conducive to the stable connection between the base meter 1 and the base meter cover 2.

[0025] A positioning column 13 is provided on the watch glass of the watch cover 12, and a positioning hole 214 is provided on the cover body 21. The positioning hole 214 cooperates with the positioning column 13 to position the cover body 21. The snap-fit ​​buckle 211 establishes a quick connection relationship between the cover body 21 and the watch cover 12, but the cover body 21 can still rotate relative to the watch cover 12 under the connection relationship of the snap-fit ​​buckle 211, and the positioning hole 214 is fitted on the positioning column 13 to achieve the positioning of the cover body 21.

[0026] The base meter cover 2 also includes a plug-in connector 24, which is plugged into the slot 213 of the cover body 21. The connection hole 246 of the plug-in connector 24 cooperates with the positioning column 13 and is connected to the cover body 21 by screws. The connection hole 246 is blocked by screws. Most of the damage to the whole meter is caused by a defective circuit part. The plug-in connector 24 of this product is installed on the cover body 21 by plugging, and is fixed to the positioning column 13 by screws, so that the electronic part of the plug-in connector 24 can be removed and replaced from the front, realizing the disassembly of the electronic part in the plug-in connector 24, which is convenient for water meter maintenance. Among them, blocking with screws is conducive to improving the sealing installation effect of the plug-in connector 24.

[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the plug-in connector 24 includes a plug-in body 241 and a plug-in cover 244. The plug-in body 241 is connected to the slot 213 of the cover 21. The sensor module 242 is clamped in the plug-in body 241. The plug-in cover 244 is clamped on the plug-in body 241. A wire outlet hole 240 is formed between the plug-in body 241 and the plug-in cover 244. The connecting wire 3 passes through the wire outlet hole 240. The plug-in connector 24 provides an installation position for the sensor module 242 through the clamping of the plug-in body 241 and the plug-in cover 244, so that the electronic part of the water meter that obtains the water meter data is waterproofed and installed separately.

[0028] The connector 24 also includes a wire pressing block 243, which is plugged into the plug body 241 and is used to comb the connecting wire 3 in the connector 24. The wire pressing block 243 changes the laying path and direction of the connecting wire 3 in the connector 24, avoiding the disconnection of the connecting wire 3 from the sensor module 242 when being pulled.

[0029] The connecting wire 3 is wrapped with a wire sheath. The wire sheath is a high molecular polymer with two densities. While achieving the outer layer being wear-resistant, tear-resistant, and acid- and alkali-resistant, it also has a certain degree of softness, which is convenient for production and installation.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the base meter cover 2 also includes a flip cover 22 and a rotating cover 23. The flip cover 22 is hinged on the cover body 21, and the rotating cover 23 is rotatably connected to the flip cover 22. The flip cover 22 and the rotating cover 23 each have the ability to be opened in one direction, so that the base meter 1 data can still be opened when the water meter is installed in a narrow environment.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, two-component epoxy glue is encapsulated in the connector 24 and the reporting assembly 4. The two-component epoxy glue has better corrosion resistance, making the water meter more stable in a humid or underwater environment.

[0032] Taking the underground installation environment as an example, when the utility model is in use, the base meter 1 and the base meter cover 2 are installed in the specified position, and the reporting component 4 is installed at the wellhead and other places with good signals according to the on-site environment to increase the probability of successful reporting.

[0033] When it is necessary to view the data of the watch body 11 , one can choose to open the rotating cover 23 to view the watch body 11 or open the rotating cover 23 to view the watch body 11 according to the operable space around the base watch 1 .

[0034] When the water meter is abnormal, it is mostly due to damage of electronic components. When repairing or replacing electronic components, the blocking screws can be removed first, then the screws connecting the connector 24 and the positioning column 13 can be removed, and then the connector 24 can be pulled out to repair or replace the electronic components.

[0035] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings; however, the present invention is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present invention, various equivalent transformations can be made to the technical scheme of the present invention, and these equivalent transformations all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
