[0002] With the continuous development of industrial economy and urban scale, water meters, as instruments for measuring water flow, are being installed and used more and more widely in industry, agriculture and residents' lives. At present, with the progress of technology, intelligent water meters have been popularized;

[0003] An intelligent water meter is a new type of water meter that uses modern microelectronics technology, modern sensing technology and intelligent IC card technology to measure water consumption and conduct water consumption data transmission and settlement transactions. Compared with traditional water meters that generally only have the functions of flow collection and mechanical pointer display of water consumption, it is a great progress. In addition to recording and electronically displaying water consumption, intelligent water meters can also control water consumption according to agreements, automatically calculate the water charges for stepped water prices, and can also store water consumption data;

[0004] At present, the intelligent water meters and water pipes on the market are rotationally connected by matching the internal thread of the water inlet pipe of the intelligent water meter with the external thread of the water pipe. However, such a connection method has great limitations in actual situations. Long-term use may cause corrosion at the connection, making it inconvenient to disassemble and repair the intelligent water meter later. And generally, the intelligent water meter is connected to the water pipe in a suspended manner. After long-term use, the connection position between the two may show water seepage due to the gravity of the intelligent water meter itself, affecting the sealing performance of the installation of the intelligent water meter.

A docking installation component is fixedly installed between the first sleeve 4 and the second sleeve 10, and a supporting component is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the intelligent water meter 1. The first retaining ring 6 is used to limit the installation depth of the water inlet pipe 2 and the water outlet pipe 3, and the second retaining ring 12 is used to limit the installation depth of the water supply pipe 23, which is convenient for installing the first sleeve 4 and the second sleeve 10 in place. A first sealing ring 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first retaining ring 6, and a second sealing ring 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second retaining ring 12, which can improve the sealing performance between the water inlet pipe 2 and the water outlet pipe 3 and the first sleeve 4, and at the same time can improve the sealing performance between the second sleeve 10 and the water supply pipe 23, ensuring that no water leakage occurs during use. The docking installation component includes a first connecting ear plate 5, a docking outer cylinder 8, a second connecting ear plate 11, a docking inner cylinder 14 and a docking bolt 15. The surface of the first sleeve 4 is fixedly sleeved with the first connecting ear plate 5, and the end of the first sleeve 4 is fixedly connected to the docking outer cylinder 8. The surface of the second sleeve 10 is fixedly sleeved with the second connecting ear plate 11, and the end of the first sleeve 4 is fixedly connected to the docking inner cylinder 14. The docking inner cylinder 14 is inserted into the placement ring groove opened on the surface of the docking outer cylinder 8, and the docking inner cylinder 14 and the docking outer cylinder 8 are slidably connected. The first connecting ear plate 5 and the second connecting ear plate 11 are detachably connected by the docking bolt 15. Through the docking bolt 15, the first connecting ear plate 5 and the second connecting ear plate 11 can be docked and fixed, so that the docking inner cylinder 14 can be stably inserted into the docking outer cylinder 8, realizing the docking and fixing between the docking inner cylinder 14 and the docking outer cylinder 8.
