Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water meter housing technology, and in particular relates to a battery box structure for a water meter housing. Background Technology

[0002] Water meters are instruments used to measure water flow, mostly measuring the cumulative flow of water. They are generally divided into two categories: volumetric water meters and velocity water meters. Traditional water meters rely on manual reading, which is affected by factors such as location, working hours, and staff availability, resulting in delayed and inefficient acquisition of water flow information. This has a significant impact on today's efficient production and daily life. Therefore, in recent years, water meter data has been acquired through material networks, which not only improves the timeliness and efficiency of data collection but also provides convenience for users and businesses and reduces labor costs. Existing IoT water meters can be equipped with communication modules, metering modules, circuit boards, and other electronic components, along with their power batteries, enabling remote meter reading.

[0003] Currently, the battery and other power supply components installed on existing water meters have relatively simple waterproof structures in the battery compartment, resulting in poor waterproofing, low waterproof ratings, and difficulties in battery replacement. Under long-term operation, gaps inside the water meter casing allow moisture to come into contact with the internal battery. Furthermore, due to the battery's limited lifespan and the need for periodic replacement, complete isolation is not possible. Consequently, moisture exposure causes corrosion to the battery's electrical components, increasing the risk of short circuits and leakage, and significantly reducing battery lifespan.

[0004] In response to the aforementioned problems of poor waterproofing of the battery compartment and inconvenience in battery replacement, this utility model designs a battery box structure for a water meter housing. Utility Model Content

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a battery cell A is fixedly installed on the positioning mounting plate; a battery cell B is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the battery box cover.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a limiting plate is fixed on the periphery of the battery box cover; a limiting pin is fixed at the bottom edge of the battery compartment of the water meter housing; the end of the limiting pin cooperates with the limiting plate; the function of the limiting pin and the limiting plate is that, after the battery box cover is installed, they can restrict the battery box cover and prevent it from loosening and affecting the airtightness.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a limiting hole is provided on the limiting plate; the inner wall of the limiting hole is engaged with the end of the limiting post; the function of the limiting post and the limiting hole is to better restrict the battery box cover and prevent it from becoming loose.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the water meter housing has several circular array of limiting slots at the bottom edge of the battery compartment; a limiting plate is fixed to the circumferential side of the battery box cover; an arc-shaped locking post is provided on the limiting plate; and the end of the arc-shaped locking post engages with one of the limiting slots.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This utility model, through the design and structure of the battery box, provides a high degree of sealing for the internal battery compartment, which significantly improves the airtightness and waterproofness of the battery box, as well as the advantages of facilitating battery installation and replacement.

[0014] 2. This utility model, through the function of the limiting pin and the limiting plate, can restrict the battery box cover and prevent it from loosening, thereby reducing the overall airtightness of the battery box.

[0015] 3. The purpose of this utility model is to use the arc-shaped locking post and multiple limiting slots at different positions to tighten the battery box cover to the optimal and tightest position, which has the advantage of improving the airtightness between the battery box cover and the battery compartment.
