[0033] A water meter wire fixing structure includes a main body 1 and a wire clamp device 2; a through hole 4 for the wire 3 to pass through is formed in the wire clamp device 2; a limiting cylinder 10 is formed in the main body 1; the wire clamp device 2 can be detachably assembled in the limiting cylinder 10; a groove 13 is formed on the main body 1, and the limiting cylinder 10 is located in the groove 13, and a positioning mechanism 5 for positioning the wire clamp device 2 on the main body 1 is installed on the main body 1; the utility model has a simple structure, and the wire clamp device is provided for inserting the wire, and by assembling the wire clamp device to the limiting cylinder of the main body, the wire clamp device and the main body are clamped by the buckle on the positioning mechanism, the overall structure is simple and stable, easy to assemble, and high production efficiency.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 For this utility model Figure 2 A partial enlarged view of the A direction; the positioning mechanism 5 includes connecting blocks 50 fixed at both ends of the groove 13, a supporting block 51 is vertically fixed on the connecting block 50, and a buckle 52 for clamping the wire clamp device 2 is fixed at the end of the support block 51; when the wire clamp device 2 is assembled in the limiting cylinder 10, the buckle 52 abuts against the upper end of the wire clamp plate 20.

[0035] The width of the clip 52 is greater than the width of the support block 51, and a guide inclined surface 53 is formed on the top of the clip 52; the provision of the guide inclined surface 53 increases the contact area between the wire clip 20 and the guide inclined surface 53 during the assembly process, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and assembly safety.

[0036] like Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the wire clamp device 2 includes a wire clamp plate 20, the through hole 4 is located in the middle of the wire clamp plate 20, and a wire locking portion 6 is vertically arranged at the bottom of the wire clamp plate 20; the wire locking portion 6 is arranged at the bottom of the through hole 4 to lock the wire 3; the wire locking portion 6 can elastically expand to facilitate the insertion of the wire 3, and can contract so that the wire locking portion 6 abuts against the wire 3; when the wire clamp device 2 is assembled in the limiting cylinder 10, the top of the wire clamp plate 20 and the top of the main body 1 are on the same horizontal plane.

[0037] The utility model is cleverly designed. By arranging a wire clamp device, the wire clamp device can be detachably assembled in the limiting cylinder. The assembly is convenient, the connection strength is reliable, the assembly efficiency can be effectively improved, and good economic benefits are achieved.

[0038] Assembly grooves 21 that match the buckles 52 are formed on both sides of the wire clamping plate 20, and an inclined assembly surface 22 is formed at the bottom of the wire clamping plate 20 near the assembly grooves 21; when the wire clamping device 2 is assembled in the limiting cylinder 10, the wire clamping plate 20 of the wire clamping device 2 is locked by the positioning mechanism 5, more specifically, the assembly groove 21 of the wire clamping plate 20 is clamped on the buckle 52 to achieve the clamping and locking of the two.

[0039] The wire locking portion 6 includes two or more locking pieces 60 distributed in a ring array. A gap 61 extending in the axial direction is formed between two adjacent locking pieces 60. The wire locking portion 6 can radially expand or contract through the gap 61.

[0040] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the wire locking portion 6 includes two or more locking pieces 60 distributed in a ring array, and a gap 61 is formed between two adjacent locking pieces 60; the gap 61 between the locking pieces 60 can provide deformation space for the elastic contraction and elastic expansion of each locking piece 60 of the wire locking portion 6, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation and avoiding damage to the locking piece 60 during the plug-in process.

[0041] In this embodiment, the wire locking portion 6 is provided with two locking tabs 60, each with a gap 61 between adjacent locking tabs 60.

[0043] Such a configuration can make the connection between the wire locking portion 6 and the truncated cone 11 smoother, reduce the force on the wire locking portion 6 to be concentrated at the connection with the truncated cone 11, and facilitate the locking piece 60 to elastically contract or expand more safely and stably.

[0044] More specifically, the truncated cone 11 and the inner wall of the limiting cylinder 10 form an arc-shaped transition structure, which improves the assembly efficiency between the wire locking portion 6 and the limiting cylinder 10 .

[0045] The guide tilting block 12 is fixed on the outer wall of the locking piece 60, and the thickness of the guide tilting block 12 increases successively along the insertion direction of the wire locking part 6, wherein the outer side of the guide tilting block 12 is arranged perpendicular to the wire clamping plate 20; adopting the above scheme, the structure is simple, and the set guide tilting block 12 cooperates with the locking piece 60, which can simplify assembly, reduce costs and facilitate management; more specifically, the bottom of the limit cylinder 10 and the bottom of the guide tilting block 12 are on the same horizontal plane.
