Subsequently, the second positioning buckle 17 is aligned with the front hole position 19 of the circuit board, and the circuit board body 8 is aligned with the first positioning buckle 16 and directly pressed down to complete the installation of the transparent liquid crystal cover 9.

[0040] At this time, the reinforcing ribs 23 installed on the inner walls of the two control box shells 2 can be aligned with the square grooves 28 and pressed together towards the middle. After the pressing is completed, the first buckle 22 catches the second buckle 27, and the reinforcing ribs 23 penetrate into the inside of the square grooves 28, thus completing the installation of the control box shell 2. At this time, the ultrasonic water meter pipe 1 is installed above the control box shell 2 by ultrasonic welding to complete the installation of the control box.

[0041] By setting the number of the control box shells 2 to two, the control box shells 2 can be finally docked and installed, minimizing the damage to the appearance of the control box shells 2 during the production process. At the same time, by setting multiple clamping structures inside the device, the inside of the control box can be fixed without using bolts, enabling the installation box to be quickly installed while reducing the labor intensity of the relevant staff.
