DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 The specific implementation methods of the present utility model are further described in detail.

[0021] In this embodiment, by Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the utility model includes a meter reading pole 1, a telescopic pole 2 is inserted into the meter reading pole 1, and the telescopic pole 2 is installed on the meter reading pole 1 through a positioning assembly. The upper end of the meter reading pole 1 is rotatably connected to a handle 3, and the lower end of the telescopic pole 2 is respectively connected to a plane mirror 4 and a magnifying glass 5 through two driving assemblies. The lower part of the telescopic pole 2 is rotatably connected to an adjustment assembly for adjusting the position of the magnifying glass 5, and a cleaning assembly is provided at the bottom of the telescopic pole 2.

[0022] When it is necessary to read the water meter, first adjust the length of the telescopic rod 2 by the positioning assembly, then hold the meter reading rod 1 and align the plane mirror 4 and the magnifying glass 5 with the water meter;

[0023] The water meter located directly below the worker can be read by directly magnifying the numbers with a magnifying glass 5;

[0024] If the water meter is located at an angle that cannot be seen by the staff, the plane mirror 4 can be used to reflect the water meter numbers for meter reading. When the plane mirror 4 is used for reflection, the magnifying glass 5 can be adjusted to the top of the plane mirror 4 through the adjustment component, and the numbers on the plane mirror 4 can be magnified through the magnifying glass 5 to facilitate meter reading. When the water meter is covered with debris, it can be cleaned through the cleaning component and then read.

[0025] In this embodiment, by Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, a wear-resistant pad 6 is provided between the handle 3 and the meter reading rod 1, and the wear-resistant pad 6 is fixed to the upper end of the meter reading rod 1;

[0026] The wear-resistant pad 6 can increase the resistance to the rotation of the handle 3 and prevent the handle 3 from rotating on its own.

[0027] In this embodiment, by Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the positioning assembly includes a button 7 inserted into the telescopic rod 2, a spring 8 is provided in the telescopic rod 2, one end of the spring 8 is fixed to the telescopic rod 2, and the other end of the spring 8 is fixed to the button 7. A plurality of equally spaced through holes 9 are provided on the meter reading rod 1, and the button 7 is inserted into one of the through holes 9;

[0028] A limit strip is fixed on the telescopic rod 2, and a limit strip groove is provided in the meter reading rod 1, so that the telescopic rod 2 can be inserted into the meter reading rod 1 while limiting rotation;

[0029] By pressing the button 7, the button 7 enters the telescopic rod 2 and disengages from the through hole 9 of the meter reading rod 1. The telescopic rod 2 is then released from the limit. Then, the telescopic rod 2 can be pulled to adjust the extension length of the telescopic rod 2. After the length is adjusted, the button 7 extends from the corresponding through hole 9 through the spring 8 to limit the telescopic rod 2 again.

[0030] In this embodiment, by Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment assembly includes a sleeve 10 rotatably connected to the lower part of the telescopic rod 2, a sleeve rod 11 is fixed to the upper end of the sleeve 10, a cross rod 12 is inserted into the sleeve rod 11, and the cross rod 12 is fixed to the lower end of the handle 3, wherein the drive assembly connected to the magnifying glass 5 is fixed in the sleeve 10, and the drive assembly connected to the plane mirror 4 is fixed to the bottom of the telescopic rod 2;

[0031] When the length of the telescopic rod 2 is adjusted, the sleeve rod 11 moves along the cross rod 12 and extends as the telescopic rod 2 extends. Rotating the handle 3 can drive the cross rod 12 to rotate, thereby driving the sleeve rod 11 to rotate. The sleeve rod 11 can drive the sleeve 10 to rotate, thereby driving the magnifying glass 5 and the drive assembly connected to the magnifying glass 5 to rotate, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the magnifying glass 5.

[0032] When only the magnifying glass 5 is needed to complete the meter reading, the handle 3 is rotated to drive the magnifying glass 5 to rotate so that the magnifying glass 5 and the plane mirror 4 are staggered and are not in the same vertical plane;

[0033] When the magnifying glass 5 is needed to magnify the content on the plane mirror 4, the handle 3 and the magnifying glass 5 are rotated so that the magnifying glass 5 and the plane mirror 4 are located in the same vertical plane.

[0034] In this embodiment, by Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the two drive assemblies include first motors 13 fixed in the sleeve 10 and at the bottom of the telescopic rod 2, respectively. The output shafts of the two first motors 13 are fixed with connecting plates 14. The two connecting plates 14 pass through the telescopic rod 2 and the sleeve 10, respectively. One end of the two connecting plates 14 passing through the telescopic rod 2 and the sleeve 10 is fixed to the plane mirror 4 and the magnifying glass 5, respectively.

[0035] The two motors drive the two connecting plates 14 to rotate, and the two connecting plates 14 respectively drive the magnifying glass 5 and the plane mirror 4 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angles of the magnifying glass 5 and the plane mirror 4, so that the meter reader can read the water meter at a long distance or located to the side of the meter reader.

[0036] In this embodiment, by Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the cleaning assembly includes a second motor 15 fixed to the bottom of the telescopic rod 2, and a cleaning ball 16 is fixed to the output end of the second motor 15;

[0037] The cleaning ball 16 is spherical in design, so that the cleaning ball 16 can clean the surface of the water meter at any tilted angle, avoiding the situation where the meter reader tilts the meter reading pole 1 when the water meter is far away and the cleaning ball 16 cannot clean the water meter mirror.

[0038] In this embodiment, by Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the upper side of the plane mirror 4 and the lower side of the magnifying glass 5 are both fixed with lighting lamps 17;

[0039] The lighting lamp 17 located on the lower side of the magnifying glass 5 can help the meter reader to see the water meter numbers clearly. The lighting lamp 17 located on the upper side of the plane mirror 4 can illuminate the water meter when reflecting the numbers, so that the numbers on the water meter are reflected more clearly, avoiding the situation where it is too dark to reflect the numbers.

[0040] The above-mentioned rotational connections all adopt bearing rotational connections.

[0041] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
