Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of intelligent water meters, in particular to an intelligent water meter with an anti-shielding effect. Background Art
[0002] With the development of the Internet of Things, water meters have begun to develop in the direction of smart water meters. The current smart water meters are mainly reflected in the digital collection and transmission of water meter readings. At the same time, some high-end smart water meters also have the functions of pressure collection, flow, and valve control. The basis for realizing the above functions is the electronic collection device set on the water meter. In the current technology, there are roughly two types. One is the mechatronic smart water meter, that is, the electronic components and mechanical components are integrated or the electronic components themselves are used to collect flow; the other is the mechatronic water meter, that is, a digital collection module is set on the basis of the existing mechanical water meter, and the data is collected and uploaded through the digital collection module. The smart water meter is a new type of water meter that uses modern microelectronics technology, modern sensor technology, and smart IC card technology to measure water consumption and transmit water consumption data and settle transactions. Compared with traditional water meters that generally only have the functions of flow collection and mechanical pointer display of water consumption, it is a great improvement. In addition to recording and electronically displaying water consumption, smart water meters can also control water consumption according to agreements. However, in some important places, such as high-tech factories and some scientific research institutes, water meters require absolute data security.
[0003] In actual applications, existing smart water meters are usually installed outdoors or in places that are difficult to observe. They may be blocked by dust or dead leaves, resulting in inaccurate readings or abnormal data. This may cause users to misjudge water usage and affect the accuracy and effectiveness of water resource management. Therefore, a smart water meter with anti-blocking effect is proposed.

The utility model provides a smart water meter, which can upload water meter data to a management system, thereby eliminating the step of manual reading and avoiding freezing of the water meter due to cold weather.
[0005] Although the above patent enables the water meter data to be uploaded to the management system, thereby eliminating the step of manual reading and preventing the water meter from being damaged by cold weather; however, the device lacks the function of preventing the interface from leaking, and the interface connection method is mostly through a single thread.
