[0028] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily need to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such used data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or server including a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or modules that are not clearly listed or are inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0029] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, the water meter housing capable of installing a check valve in this embodiment includes a housing main body formed by stamping stainless steel, a mounting seat 30, and a partition 40. The housing main body includes an intermediate housing 10, a water outlet pipe 20, and a water inlet pipe 50.

[0030] An inner cavity for installing a water meter core is provided in the intermediate housing 10. The water outlet pipe 20 and the water inlet pipe 50 are respectively connected to both sides of the intermediate housing 10. The water outlet pipe 20 and the water inlet pipe 50 are both communicated with the inner cavity of the intermediate housing 10. An opening 21 is provided on the wall of the water outlet pipe 20.

[0031] The watch case body further includes a water inlet pipe 50. The middle case 10 includes a symmetrically arranged first middle case 101 and a second middle case 102. The water outlet pipe 20 includes a symmetrically arranged first water outlet pipe 201 and a second water outlet pipe 202. The water inlet pipe 50 includes a symmetrically arranged first water inlet pipe 501 and a second water inlet pipe 502. The first water inlet pipe 501, the first middle case 101, and the first water outlet pipe 201 are integrally formed into a first half case, and the second water inlet pipe 502, the second middle case 102, and the second water outlet pipe 202 are integrally formed into a second half case. The first half case and the second half case are arranged in an opposing manner and sealed by welding. Both the first half case and the second half case are formed by a single stamping of a stainless steel plate, and then the first half case and the second half case are opposed and welded and fixed to form the watch case body.

[0032] A first notch 2011 is provided on the first water outlet pipe 201, and a second notch 2021 is provided on the second water outlet pipe 202. The first notch 2011 and the second notch 2021 are arranged in an opposing manner to form an opening 21. In this way, when the first half case and the second half case are stamped and formed, the first notch 2011 and the second notch 2021 are processed and formed. Then, after the first half case and the second half case are opposed and welded and fixed, the opening 21 can be processed and formed, making the processing of the opening 21 relatively convenient.

[0033] The mounting seat 30 is composed of two workpieces 32 with a semi-circular ring cross-section. The two workpieces 32 are opposed and fixed and welded. A rotating seat 321 for mounting the rotating shaft of the check valve is provided on the inner wall of each workpiece 32. In this way, when the workpiece 32 is processed, the rotating seat 321 on the workpiece 32 can be processed and formed simultaneously, facilitating the processing of the mounting seat 30.

[0034] The mounting seat 30 is arranged on the opening 21, and the mounting seat 30 extends at least partially into the water outlet pipe 20 through the opening 21. A swing check valve is installed in the mounting seat 30, and the rotating shaft of the check valve is rotatably installed on the two rotating seats 321 so that the check valve can rotate.

[0035] A partition 40 is arranged in the water outlet pipe 20 and is hermetically connected to the inner wall of the mounting seat 30 and the water outlet pipe 20 respectively, so that the partition 40 blocks the water flow in the water outlet pipe 20. A through hole 41 for the water flow in the water outlet pipe 20 to flow through is provided on the partition 40. In this way, the water flow in the water outlet pipe 20 can only flow through the partition 40 through the through hole 41.

[0036] The outer wall of the mounting seat 30 is welded and fixed to the periphery of the opening 21, so that the seal between the mounting seat 30 and the periphery of the opening 21 is tight and the connection is firm.

[0037] One end of the mounting base 30 located inside the water outlet pipe 20 is fixedly welded with a sealing plate 31. The first surface of the partition plate 40 is used to contact the check valve, and the sealing plate 31 is used to seal the gap between the second surface of the partition plate 40 and the peripheral edge of the mounting base 30. In this way, there is no gap between the second surface of the partition plate 40 and the mounting base 30. When the water flow in the water outlet pipe 20 reversely flows back, the water flow cannot flow back through the gap between the second surface of the partition plate 40 and the mounting base 30.

[0038] The first surface of the partition plate 40 is used to contact the check valve. An annular protrusion 42 is provided on the first surface of the partition plate 40. The through hole 41 is located inside the annular protrusion 42, and the inner wall of the annular protrusion 42 is flush with the peripheral edge of the through hole 41. In this way, when the check valve covers the first surface of the partition plate 40, the partition plate 40 contacts the annular protrusion 42, and the contact between the partition plate 40 and the annular protrusion 42 is tight, so that the sealing effect of the partition plate 40 on the through hole 41 is better.

[0039] The axis of the mounting base 30 is perpendicular to the axis of the water outlet pipe 20.

[0040] The water meter of this embodiment includes a water meter housing, a water meter core and a swing check valve. The water meter core is installed in the inner cavity of the middle housing 10, and the check valve is installed in the mounting base 30. The rotating shaft of the check valve is rotatably installed on two rotating seats 321, so that the check valve can rotate to close or open the through hole 41. When the water flow in the water outlet pipe 20 flows forward, the check valve can be opened by the impact of the water flow; when the water flow in the water outlet pipe 20 reversely flows back, the check valve can cover the through hole 41 to close the through hole 41.

[0041] It should be noted that the above-mentioned sequence of the embodiments of the present application is only for description and does not represent the superiority or inferiority of the embodiments. And the above description of specific embodiments of this specification is made. Other embodiments are within the scope of the appended claims. In some cases, the actions or steps recorded in the claims can be executed in a different order from that in the embodiments and still achieve the desired results. In addition, the processes depicted in the drawings do not necessarily require the specific order or continuous order shown to achieve the desired results. In certain embodiments, multitasking and parallel processing are also possible or may be advantageous.

[0042] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.

[0043] This specification and the drawings are merely exemplary illustrations of the present application and are considered to cover any and all modifications, variations, combinations, or equivalents within the scope of the present application.
