Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of instruments and meters, in particular to a remote water meter signal transmission module. Background Art

[0002] Remote water meters are advanced metering devices that can remotely monitor and record water usage. They are widely used in urban water supply systems to optimize resource management and reduce the cost of manual meter reading. These water meters automatically send consumption data to a central database or management system through a built-in communication module to achieve real-time data monitoring and analysis. The communication module is one of the core components of the remote water meter and is responsible for data collection, processing and transmission. It usually includes a microprocessor, data storage device and wireless transmitter, combining multiple technologies to ensure accurate data collection and secure transmission. These modules must be highly waterproof and weather-resistant to adapt to the various challenges of the outdoor environment.

[0003] Traditional remote water meter signal transmission modules have some shortcomings. First, due to technical and design limitations, early signal transmission modules are often large in size and difficult to install in space-constrained environments. Second, these modules have limited waterproof and sealing performance and are prone to failure when exposed to humid and changing external environments for a long time. In addition, traditional modules often involve multiple complex steps in the manufacturing process, resulting in high production costs, and maintenance and replacement are also expensive. To address these problems, the design of the new generation of remote water meter signal transmission modules tends to use highly integrated electronic components, a more compact layout and innovative sealing technology, which not only reduces the size, but also significantly improves the waterproof and dustproof performance, while reducing production and maintenance costs. These improvements make remote water meters more reliable, better able to adapt to various application environments, and provide more lasting and accurate services. Utility Model Content
