[0003] Under the existing technology, the water meter shell is usually made of copper material. Since the copper block is soft in texture, it can be made into a corresponding shape by die-casting. The blocks used for connection around the cover are also formed by die-casting. It is easier to die-cast these smaller blocks using copper material, but it is more difficult to die-cast other materials. However, the cost of copper blocks is high, and the overall production cost is high. Utility Model Content

[0017] Optionally, the limiting ring is provided at the end of the limiting cylinder, and the side of the limiting ring close to the limiting cylinder is welded to the stainless steel shell.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the limit ring is also connected by welding. Since the limit ring is also difficult to be formed by die-casting, the use of welding can further improve the convenience of forming and reduce the forming cost.
[0019] Optionally, a welding ring groove is provided on a side of the outer wall of the limiting cylinder close to the limiting ring, and the welding ring groove is circumferentially arranged around the limiting cylinder.

The present application uses stainless steel as the material to reduce the cost of raw materials, and at the same time welds the connecting blocks by welding. Stainless steel has good strength and corrosion resistance. Compared with the harder stainless steel produced by die-casting, this method is easier to form, further reducing the processing cost. The connecting blocks and connecting rings are also produced by stainless steel, which can improve the overall strength and corrosion resistance of the product, thereby further improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0030] The present application is further described below in detail through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0031] A water meter housing, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it includes a stainless steel housing 1, which is provided with a through hole 11, which is located in the middle of the stainless steel housing 1. The inner wall of the stainless steel housing 1 is provided with internal threads 12. A plurality of connecting blocks 2 are provided on the outer wall of the stainless steel housing 1, and the connecting blocks 2 are connected to the stainless steel housing 1 by welding. In specific implementation, the stainless steel housing 1 is formed by winding and welding or die-casting stainless steel sheets, and then the pre-cast connecting blocks 2 are fixed to the stainless steel housing 1 by welding. During installation, they are placed on the corresponding water meter, and the connecting blocks 2 are installed by embedding into the corresponding groove, thereby completing the installation of the water meter. It is also possible to wrap the water meter with a plastic shell after installation.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connecting blocks 2 are arranged at equal intervals along the side wall of the stainless steel shell 1. In specific implementation, four connecting blocks 2 are provided on the stainless steel shell 1 in this embodiment, and the connecting blocks 2 can just support and install the stainless steel shell 1 from four directions.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connection blocks 2 are provided with connection holes 21 for the connection wires to pass through. In specific implementation, iron wire or iron wire can pass through the connection holes 21 to install the connection blocks 2, further improving the convenience of installation.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a fitting portion 22 is provided on one side of the connecting block 2 close to the stainless steel housing 1. The fitting portion 22 corresponds to the shape of the stainless steel housing 1 and abuts against the side wall of the stainless steel housing 1. In a specific implementation, the fitting portion 22 is arc-shaped and can fit on the stainless steel housing 1. After the stainless steel housing 1 is fitted, it can be further welded tightly to the stainless steel housing 1, which can improve the efficiency and effect of welding.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the stainless steel housing 1 is further provided with a limiting cylinder 3, which is integrally provided with the stainless steel housing 1 and has a diameter smaller than that of the stainless steel housing 1. In specific implementation, the limiting cylinder 3 and the stainless steel housing 1 are connected by winding stainless steel sheets or die-casting. The limiting cylinder 3 can not only limit the position of the pipeline, but also connect two pipelines to each other.
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a limiting ring 31 is also provided on the limiting cylinder 3. The limiting ring 31 is fixedly connected to the limiting cylinder 3. The middle part of the limiting ring 31 is penetrated and communicated with the through hole 11. The limiting ring 31 is used to abut the pipeline.

The welding groove 32 is arranged circumferentially around the limiting cylinder 3 and is arranged next to the limiting ring 31. During welding, the limiting ring 31 can be welded directly within the welding groove 32. In specific implementations, the welding groove 32 can extend into the welding position to weld the limiting ring 31, reducing the difficulty of welding due to obstruction during welding and further improving the efficiency and effectiveness of welding.
[0038] Working principle: There are many ways to use it. During the casting process, the stainless steel sheet can be rolled up first, and then welded to form a stainless steel shell 1. The stainless steel shell 1 can be formed by die-casting, and then the connecting block 2 and the limit ring 31 can be welded to the stainless steel shell 1 to complete the production and processing. Alternatively, the stainless steel sheet can be die-cast first, and then the stainless steel sheet can be rolled up to form a product, and then subsequent product processing can be carried out.
