Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water meters, and in particular to a multifunctional split box for split water meters. Background Technology

[0002] In some areas, smart water meters are mostly installed in underground wells, which makes it inconvenient for users to observe the water meter readings and swipe their cards. Therefore, people have invented the separate external smart water meter, which separates the control box from the water meter, making it convenient for users to observe the water meter readings at any time.

[0003] To meet the needs of different customers, split-type water meters often have different functions, requiring the addition of components such as touch switches and pressure sensors. This results in different structures for the split boxes for different functions, currently requiring separate molds for each, leading to high production costs and long development cycles. Therefore, developing a split box compatible with multiple functions is particularly important. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a multi-functional split box for a split water meter includes a lower box 1, an upper box 2, and a transparent box 3, wherein:

[0033] Transparent box 3 is located between lower box 1 and upper box 2 and is embedded on the top of lower box 1, so that a space for placing circuit board is formed between transparent box 3 and lower box 1;

[0034] To facilitate line connection, such as Figure 3 and 4 The lower box 1 has a first cable outlet 11 on the left side and a second cable outlet 12 and a third cable outlet 13 on the right side. The first cable outlet 11 on the left side is the main cable outlet for the split cable to pass through; the second cable outlet 12 and the third cable outlet 13 on the right side are respectively used for the connection cables of the external antenna and the pressure sensor to pass through, and can be activated when needed.

[0035] Correspondingly, the connecting wires for the split cable, external antenna, and pressure sensor need to be connected to the circuit board inside the transparent box 3 after passing through the lower box 1. Therefore, as shown... Figure 4 and 5 The contact area between the transparent box 3 and the lower box 1 is provided with a fourth cable outlet 14 and a fifth cable outlet 15. The fourth cable outlet 14 is used for the connection cable of the split cable and the pressure sensor to pass through, and the fifth cable outlet 15 is used for the connection cable of the external antenna to pass through. Both the fourth cable outlet 14 and the fifth cable outlet 15 are provided with sealing elements to ensure airtightness.

[0036] To further expand the application range of this split box, such as Figure 6 The transparent box 3 has an antenna slot 31 and a touch button 32 inside. The antenna slot 31 is horizontal and can accommodate most antenna models. The upper box 2 has an opening at the position corresponding to the touch button 32, and the touch button 32 protrudes from the top of the upper box 2 for easy operation.

[0037] It is worth mentioning that, such as Figure 1 The lower box 1 has an integrated bracket 16 on the front side for easy installation and removal.

[0038] In this invention, the fourth outlet 14 is used for the connection wires of the split cable and the pressure sensor to pass through, so it is set in a rectangular shape and has a sealing gasket 4 on it. The sealing gasket 4 has a through hole for the wire to pass through, so as to prevent water from entering around the wire (the sealing gasket 4 can be selected according to the appropriate through hole model as needed. If there is no pressure sensor, a four-hole sealing gasket 4 is used; if there is a pressure sensor, a six-hole sealing gasket 4 is used). The fifth outlet 15 is used for connecting an external antenna. It is set in a circular shape and sealed by a sealing plug 5, which can be removed when in use.

[0039] Understandably, the transparent box also has a vertical near-field communication slot 33 inside, and the upper box 2 has an opening at the position corresponding to the near-field communication slot 33, which facilitates communication between the split box and the manufacturer's equipment.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
