Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water meters, and in particular to an electromechanical separation type anti-disassembly and anti-theft Internet of Things water meter. Background Art
[0002] IoT water meters are devices that divert and merge media or switch flow directions in pipelines. Their top-mounted design reduces the number of bolts required to connect the valve body under high-pressure, large-diameter conditions, enhancing valve reliability and overcoming the effects of system deadweight on valve operation. IoT water meters are widely used in pipelines for diverting and merging media or switching flow directions in the coal chemical industry, petrochemical industry, rubber, papermaking, pharmaceuticals, and other industries.

Since most existing IoT water meters are assembled with bolts, this leads to low anti-theft performance of the water meter. Once the internal components of the IoT water meter are stolen, the normal metering, wireless meter reading, and settlement functions of the water meter are affected, causing huge trouble to users and water plants.
