It is possible to prevent external water bodies from entering the inside of the upper shell 100 by using the anti-ice covers 120 and the sealing gaskets 130.

[0026] The model of the electronic water meter is LSY-DN15. A set of connecting pipes 160 for exporting water is provided on the right side of the electronic water meter. A set of positioning nuts 180 for positioning connecting pipes 150, 160 and the electronic water meter are provided at the connection between connecting pipes 150, 160 and the electronic water meter. The positioning nuts 180 can be used to position connecting pipes 150, 160.

[0029] The upper shell 100 and the lower shell 140 are interlocked and fixedly connected by bolts, and the upper shell 100 and the lower shell 140 are sealed by a sealant layer. The upper shell 100 and the lower shell 140 are both provided with an insulating inner layer. The temperature inside the electronic water meter can be maintained by using the insulating inner layer to prevent ice from forming inside the upper shell 100 and the lower shell 140.

[0032] See also Figures 1-4As the first embodiment of the utility model: In order to solve the problem that the antifreeze water meter lacking self-heating protection is prone to freezing in a low temperature environment, when the outside temperature drops below the freezing point, the water inside the water meter will freeze, causing the mechanical parts and pipes inside the water meter to be covered with ice and unable to work normally. First, when the external temperature is as low as the freezing point, the staff heats the heating coil 19c inside the heating ring sleeve 190 and transfers the temperature to the inside of the water pipe through the inner thermal conductive sleeve 19d, which can effectively prevent the water from freezing while increasing the temperature between the upper shell 100 and the lower shell 140. Since the upper shell 100 and the lower shell 140 are interlocked with each other and fixedly connected by bolts, and the upper shell 100 and the lower shell 140 are sealed by a sealant layer, the upper shell 100 and the lower shell 140 are both provided with an insulating inner layer, and the insulating inner layer can effectively prevent heat dissipation to ensure that the water meter can be used stably in a low temperature environment.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
