[0024] Referring to Figures 1-5 , an embodiment provided by the present invention: an ultrasonic water meter, including a main body pipe 1 of the meter body, an anti-magnetic ultrasonic water meter mechanism 2 is arranged above the main body pipe 1 of the meter body, and connection pipe mechanisms 3 are arranged at both ends of the main body pipe 1 of the meter body.

[0025] In this embodiment: the anti-magnetic ultrasonic water meter mechanism 2 includes a housing 201 arranged on the main body pipe 1 of the meter body. An ultrasonic water meter body 200 is arranged inside the housing 201. A rotating plate assembly is arranged inside the ultrasonic water meter body 200. A first support column 204 is installed on the rotating plate assembly. A marking disc 205 is arranged at one end of the first support column 204. A second support column 206 is arranged on one side of the first support column 204. A rotating pointer 207 is installed at the upper end of the second support column 206. The rotating plate assembly includes a rotating shaft 202 arranged inside the ultrasonic water meter body 200, and a long plate 203 is arranged on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 202. A water meter dial 208 is arranged above the housing 201, and the water meter dial 208 is made of transparent organic glass. The housing 201 is made of aluminum alloy material.

[0026] In this embodiment: The connecting pipe mechanism 3 includes connecting water pipes 301 arranged at both ends of the main body pipe 1 of the meter body. External connecting threads 302 are provided on the outer surfaces of the two groups of connecting water pipes 301. A connecting platform 303 is arranged on one side of the connecting water pipe 301. A flange 304 is arranged on the connecting water pipe 301. A water pipe 306 is arranged on one side of the connecting water pipe 301. A gasket 305 is arranged between the connecting water pipe 301 and the water pipe 306. A rotating baffle assembly 307 is arranged on the connecting water pipe 301. A shunt pipe 308 is arranged below the water pipe 306. A valve body assembly is arranged on the shunt pipe 308. An internal thread 3031 is arranged inside the connecting platform 303. The rotating baffle assembly 307 includes a corner motor 3071 arranged on the connecting water pipe 301. A semi-circular plate 3073 is arranged at the power end of the corner motor 3071. A rotating identification platform 3072 is installed on the corner motor 3071. The valve body assembly includes a valve 309 arranged on the shunt pipe 308. A switch 3091 is installed on the valve 309. A small water meter is installed on the shunt pipe 308 for measuring the water flow in the shunt pipe 308.

[0027] Working principle: When in use, first, the two groups of connecting water pipes 301 are respectively rotationally installed on the main body pipes 1 at both ends of the ultrasonic water meter body 200 by matching the connecting platform 303 and the external connecting threads 302. Then, they are connected by the flange 304, the gasket 305, and further matching the water pipe 306 and the connecting water pipe 301. At this time, the stability between the water pipe 306 and the ultrasonic water meter body 200 can be improved. No matter which side it shakes, it will only become tighter and will not loosen or fall off. Start the corner motor 3071 to drive the rotating identification platform 3072 and the semi-circular plate 3073 to rotate a certain angle. When the surface of the semi-circular plate 3073 is parallel to the axis of the connecting water pipe 301, the water flow can pass through smoothly. When the semi-circular plate 3073 rotates 90 degrees, the water flow in the connecting water pipe 301 is intercepted. At this moment, the water flow can be shunted through the cooperation of the shunt pipe 308, the valve 309, and the switch 3091. The water will continue to flow through the shunt pipe 308. Therefore, when installing the ultrasonic water meter body 200 and the connecting water pipe 301, there is no need to close the main valve to stop the water in the connecting water pipe 301, avoiding affecting the water use. The operation is simple, the use is convenient, and the practicability is good.
