Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas meter cases, in particular to a gas meter case with a multi-stage sealing protection structure. Background Art

[0002] A gas meter is a tool that measures household gas usage. It relies on the pressure of the gas to generate work, pushing a roller counter to count. For ease of processing and maintenance, the gas meter's housing is typically enclosed in two parts, with an inlet and outlet located at the top of the upper housing. During metering, gas enters the meter through the inlet and flows out through the outlet, pushing the roller counter to calculate gas usage.

[0003] For example, patent No. CN213455689U discloses a steel structure with high protection gas meter shell, comprising an upper shell, a lower shell is arranged below the upper shell, a connecting flange is arranged between the upper shell and the lower shell, two connecting flanges are provided, and the two connecting flanges are respectively arranged as an integral structure with the upper shell and the lower shell, a connecting bolt is provided between the two connecting flanges, and the connecting bolt is threadedly connected to the connecting flange, an air inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe are arranged above the upper shell, and one end of the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe both pass through the upper shell and extend to the interior of the upper shell, the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe are both sealed with the upper shell, a steel structure protective grille is provided on one side of the upper shell and the lower shell, and the steel structure protective grille is connected to the side ends of the upper shell and the lower shell by screws, the distance between the steel structure protective grille and the upper shell and the lower shell is set to two centimeters, and an anti-slip support leg is provided below the lower shell, two anti-slip support legs are provided, and the two anti-slip support legs are connected to the lower shell by screws. The utility model provides a steel structure protective grid, an upper protective plate, and a guide groove. When external solid matter hits the gas meter, it will first contact and collide with the steel structure protective grid, thereby preventing the foreign matter from directly hitting the gas meter housing. When the upper protective plate drips water onto the gas meter, the guide groove on the upper protective plate can quickly divert the water from both sides, thereby preventing the water from accumulating on the gas meter for a long time. This solves the problem of preventing foreign matter from directly hitting the gas meter and quickly diverting water dripping onto the gas meter, thereby improving the protective performance of the gas meter. However, when the existing gas meter housing with a sealed protective structure is used by staff, the exterior of the gas meter housing is mostly fixed by multiple bolts. The bolts require tools to be installed and removed, and the multiple bolts are inconvenient to fix and disassemble, affecting the installation efficiency of the gas meter housing.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the problem that the gas meter case with the above-mentioned existing sealing and protective structure is mostly fixed and connected by multiple bolts during use by staff, and the bolts need to be disassembled and disassembled with tools, and multiple bolts are not convenient for fixing and disassembling, which affects the installation efficiency of the gas meter case. Therefore, a gas meter case with a multi-stage sealing and protective structure can be designed, in which when the lower shell is connected to the upper shell, the lower shell and the upper shell are connected and positioned by positioning blocks, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the gas meter case, and by rotating the knob at the bottom end of the lower shell, the knob causes one end of the two limit blocks to be stuck into the inner side of the limit seat, thereby facilitating the fixation of the lower shell and the upper shell.
