[0002] 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, transmit water consumption data, and settle transactions. Compared with traditional water meters that generally only have the function 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, and automatically complete water fee calculations for tiered water prices, while also storing water consumption data.
[0003] At present, the antifreeze measures for smart water meters on the market are generally to protect the outside of the smart water meter through external devices. However, this antifreeze method can only control the temperature outside the smart water meter, but cannot control the water inside the smart water meter. There is still the problem of internal water flow freezing and causing the water meter to burst. For this reason, we propose a smart water meter to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are: the internal structure is protected by the protective frame to extend the service life of the water meter, and the protective frame plays a role of thermal insulation to prevent the temperature from being too high or too low, thereby further extending the service life of the water meter.
