[0024] See also Figure 1-5 A city gas meter protection device includes a protection box 1. Two connecting ears 6 are fixedly installed on both sides of the protection box 1. A fixed cone 7 is arranged inside each connecting ear 6. One end of each fixed cone 7 away from the protection box 1 passes through the connecting ear 6 and extends to the outside of the connecting ear 6. The protection box 1 is fixed at the gas pipeline connection by using the fixed cone 7 and the connecting ear 6, so as to avoid the protection box 1 from moving on its own as much as possible, thereby ensuring the stability of the protection box 1.

[0025] A water-proof mechanism 2 is provided inside the protective box 1; the water-proof mechanism 2 includes an instrument body 201, the bottom surface of the instrument body 201 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the protective box 1, and a sealing door 202 is movably hinged on the front of the protective box 1. The front of the sealing door 202 is provided with glass, so that workers can conveniently view the data on the instrument body 201. The sealing door 202 is internally rotatably connected to a ball screw 10, and the outer surface of the ball screw 10 is threadedly connected to a wiping plate 11, and the front of the wiping plate 11 is in contact with the inner wall of the sealing door 202. The worker rotates the ball screw 10 so that the ball screw 10 drives the wiping plate 11 to wipe and clean the glass on the sealing door 202, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the inner surface of the glass.

[0026] Two connecting pipes 203 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protection box 1, and a rubber sleeve 204 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of each connecting pipe 203. The outer surface of each rubber sleeve 204 is in contact with the outer surface of the instrument body 201, and the rubber sleeve 204 has good ductility. A gas detection sensor 3 is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the protection box 1, an exhaust fan 4 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protection box 1, and a buzzer 5 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the protection box 1. The model of the gas detection sensor 3 is MQ-4. The gas detection sensor 3 is used to monitor in real time whether the instrument body 201 has a gas leak. When gas leakage occurs, an alarm is sounded through the buzzer 5, and the exhaust fan 4 is used to increase the air flow inside the protection box 1, so as to discharge the gas from the inside of the protection box 1.

[0027] Two electric push rods 205 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of each connecting tube 203, and the extension and retraction directions of the two electric push rods 205 are opposite. Two expansion plates 206 are fixedly installed at both ends of the two electric push rods 205. The inner wall of each expansion plate 206 contacts the inner wall of the rubber sleeve 204. Two sets of connecting springs 207 are fixedly installed on the side surfaces of the two expansion plates 206 close to each other. A locking block 8 is fixedly installed on the right side surface of the sealing door 202, and a locking frame 9 is fixedly installed on the right side surface of the protective box 1. The locking block 8 is clamped in the inside of the locking frame 9. The installation of the locking block 8 and the locking frame 9 plays a role in locking the sealing door 202 on the protective box 1, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of the sealing door 202 opening by itself as much as possible, thereby ensuring the stability of the sealing door 202.

[0028] A humidity sensor 208 is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the protection box 1, and the model of the humidity sensor 208 is SHT71. The upper surface of the protection box 1 is fixedly connected to a delivery pipe 209, and an air pump 210 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the delivery pipe 209. The input end of the air pump 210 passes through the delivery pipe 209 and extends to the outside of the delivery pipe 209. The inside of the wiping plate 11 is slidably connected to a slide rod 12, and the ends of the slide rod 12 that are away from each other are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing door 202. The installation of the slide rod 12 limits the moving trajectory of the wiping plate 11, thereby minimizing the rotation of the wiping plate 11 during movement, thereby ensuring the stability of the movement of the wiping plate 11.

[0029] Three moisture-proof plates 211 are clamped inside the conveying pipe 209. The moisture-proof plates 211 are made of silicone moisture-proof agent, so that they can absorb water vapor in the air. A hydraulic rod 212 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the protection box 1. A sealing plate 213 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 212. The protection box 1 is provided with an air outlet at a position below the sealing plate 213. The bottom surface of the sealing plate 213 contacts the inner bottom wall of the protection box 1. Two sliders 13 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the sealing plate 213. Two slide grooves 14 are provided on the inner bottom wall of the protection box 1. Each slider 13 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove 14. The shape of the slider 13 is T-shaped, and the shape of the slide groove 14 matches the shape of the slider 13. The installation of the slider 13 and the slide groove 14 limits the moving trajectory of the sealing plate 213, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the sealing plate 213 deviates from the moving trajectory when moving, thereby ensuring the stability of the movement of the sealing plate 213.

[0030] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when in use, the worker first uses the fixed pointed cone 7 and the connecting ear 6 to fix the protection box 1 at the position of the gas pipeline, and then fixes the meter body 201 to the gas pipeline, and then uses the power provided by the electric push rod 205 to drive the two expansion pieces 206 to move toward one side close to each other, so that the expansion piece 206 drives the rubber sleeve 204 to expand toward the inside of the connecting pipe 203, so that the outer surface of the rubber sleeve 204 contacts the outer surface of the meter body 201, and then the worker closes the sealing door 202 and clamps the lock frame 9 on the lock block 8, so as to seal and protect the meter body 201. When the humidity sensor 208 detects that the humidity inside the protection box 1 reaches a predetermined range, the humidity sensor 208 controls the hydraulic rod 212 and the air pump 210 to work. The sealing plate 213 is moved by the power provided by the hydraulic rod 212, so that the inside of the protective box 1 is connected with the outside world. Then, the power provided by the air pump 210 is used to transport gas to the inside of the delivery pipe 209, so that the gas passes through the moisture-proof plate 211 to absorb water vapor, and then the dry air is transported to the inside of the protective box 1, and then the humid air is discharged, thereby ensuring the dryness of the inside of the protective box 1 and reducing the influence of water vapor in the air on the operation of the instrument body 201. When the gas detection sensor 3 detects a gas leak, the gas detection sensor 3 controls the operation of the hydraulic rod 212, the exhaust fan 4 and the buzzer 5, and uses the exhaust fan 4 to increase the flow of air inside the protective box 1, thereby discharging the gas from the protective box 1. At the same time, the buzzer 5 is used to sound an alarm, thereby reminding the workers that there is a gas leak.

[0031] What is described above is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
