Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of intelligent water meters, and in particular relates to an intelligent water meter. Background Art

[0002] A water meter is an instrument for measuring water flow. Most water meters measure the cumulative flow of water and are generally divided into two categories: volumetric water meters and velocity water meters. An intelligent 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 usage data and settle transactions.

[0003] The smart water meters currently on the market have the following problems when in use:

[0004] 1. Traditional smart water meters usually use smart IC cards inserted into the inside of the smart water meter. When using, the IC card is usually not fully inserted into the inside of the smart water meter, and part of it is exposed to the outside for easy access when plugging and unplugging. However, most smart water meters do not protect the exposed IC card, which makes the IC card easy to be bent and damaged, and has low protection when used;

[0005] 2. When using traditional smart water meters, the pipe connection part of the smart water meter is usually directly connected to the pipeline installation. However, most water meters are directly exposed to the outside. In cold weather, the water in the water meter is easy to freeze. After freezing, the volume increases and may cause the water meter to burst. The antifreeze effect is poor when in use. Utility Model Content
