[0029] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides a technical solution: an IoT valve-controlled smart water meter that is easy to install, comprising a water inlet pipe 1 and a body 4, wherein a valve 2 is connected to one side of the water inlet pipe 1; a water outlet pipe 5 is connected to one side of the body 4; and further comprising: a connecting component 3 is arranged on the side of the valve 2 away from the water inlet pipe 1; wherein the connecting component 3 comprises a water inlet 301 connected to the valve 2, and a water outlet 302 is connected to the side of the water inlet 301 away from the valve 2; wherein a sliding sleeve 303 is slidably connected to the surface of the water outlet 302, and engaging rods 304 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the sliding sleeve 303, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, by setting the connection assembly 3, it is convenient to quickly connect the main body 4 and the water inlet pipe 2 and the water outlet pipe 5, so that the installation efficiency of the main body 4 can be improved. At the same time, through the action of the valve 2, it can play the role of opening and closing the water source.

[0030] A first spring 305 is sleeved on the surface of one side of the locking rod 304 close to the top, the bottom surface of the first spring 305 is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve 303, the top surface of the first spring 305 is fixedly connected to the locking rod 304, a plurality of locking grooves 306 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the water outlet 302, the locking grooves 306 are engaged with the locking rod 304, damping blocks 307 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the water inlet 301, a second spring 308 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the damping block 307, a limiting ball 309 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the second spring 308, grooves 6 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the water outlet 302, a telescopic rod 7 is fixedly installed inside the groove 6, a third spring 8 is sleeved on the surface of the telescopic rod 7 away from the groove 6, the other side surface of the third spring 8 is fixedly connected to the groove 6, and the other side surface of the third spring 8 is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve 303, as shown in FIG. Figure 3-5 After the water outlet 302 is sleeved on the water inlet 301, the locking rod 304 is again pulled to separate the locking rod 304 from the locking groove 306, and the sliding sleeve 303 is pushed so that the bottom of the sliding sleeve 303 squeezes the limiting ball 309 on the water inlet 301, thereby causing the limiting ball 309 to drop. At the same time, after the sliding sleeve 303 returns to its original position, the limiting ball 309 is located directly below the limiting groove 9 on the sliding sleeve 303, so that the limiting The ball 309 is acted upon by the second spring 308 to make the limiting ball 309 rise, so that the limiting ball 309 is engaged with the limiting groove 9. At the same time, by loosening the engaging rod 304, the engaging rod 304 is again engaged with the original engaging groove 306 under the action of the first spring 305, thereby completing the connection between the water inlet 301 and the water outlet 302, thereby completing the connection between the body 4 and the water inlet pipe 1 and the water outlet pipe 5, thereby facilitating improving the connection efficiency between the body 4 and the water inlet pipe 1 and the water outlet pipe 5. At the same time, the first spring 305 and the second spring 308 are both rubber composite springs in the prior art, and the third spring 8 is also a rubber composite spring in the prior art. At the same time, the elastic force of the third spring 8 is greater than the elastic force of the second spring 308, so that the sliding sleeve 303 can be pushed to squeeze the limiting ball 309.

[0031] A limiting groove 9 is provided on one side of the bottom surface of the sliding sleeve 303, and the limiting groove 9 is engaged with the limiting ball 309. Figure 5As shown, the limiting groove 9 is engaged with the limiting ball 309, so that the water inlet 301 and the water outlet 302 are conveniently connected together. At the same time, a sealing gasket is installed between the water inlet 301 and the water outlet 302 to reduce the occurrence of water leakage.

[0032] The water outlet 302 is connected to the water outlet pipe 5, and one side surface of the sliding sleeve 303 is connected to the valve 2. Figure 2 As shown, the water outlet 302 is connected to the water outlet pipe 5, so as to facilitate the transportation of water.

[0033] Working principle: Before using this easy-to-install IoT valve-controlled smart water meter, you need to check the overall condition of the device to make sure it can work normally. Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, first, when the body 4 needs to be connected to the water inlet pipe 1 and the water outlet pipe 5, the locking rod 304 is pulled to separate the locking rod 304 from the locking groove, and then the sliding sleeve 303 is pushed to move the sliding sleeve 303 on the water outlet 302. At the same time, after the sliding sleeve 303 moves to a certain position, the locking rod 304 is loosened to restore the locking rod 304 to its original position under the action of the first spring 305, so that the locking rod 304 and the locking groove 306 are re-engaged together, and after the water outlet 302 is sleeved on the water inlet 301, the locking rod 304 is pulled again to separate the locking rod 304 from the locking groove 306 again, and the sliding sleeve 303 is pushed so that the bottom of the sliding sleeve 303 will press against the limiting ball 306 on the water inlet 301. 9 is squeezed, thereby causing the limiting ball 309 to descend. At the same time, after the sliding sleeve 303 returns to its original position, the limiting ball 309 is located directly below the limiting groove 9 on the sliding sleeve 303, so that the limiting ball 309 rises through the action of the second spring 308, thereby causing the limiting ball 309 to engage with the limiting groove 9. At the same time, by loosening the engaging rod 304, the engaging rod 304 is again engaged with the original engaging groove 306 under the action of the first spring 305, thereby completing the connection between the water inlet 301 and the water outlet 302, thereby completing the connection between the main body 4 and the water inlet pipe 1 and the water outlet pipe 5, thereby facilitating the improvement of the connection efficiency between the main body 4 and the water inlet pipe 1 and the water outlet pipe 5.

[0034] Secondly, the sliding sleeve 303 can be restored to its original position, so that the sliding sleeve 303 can be moved better. At the same time, when the third spring 8 rebounds, the rebound amplitude of the third spring 8 will not be too large through the action of the telescopic rod 7, thereby ensuring that the sliding sleeve 303 can be pushed to move, making it easier for the sliding sleeve 303 to return to its original position.
