[0021] The technical solutions of this application will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0022] like Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a fully sealed, waterproof, and moisture-proof smart water meter, including a smart water meter body 1. One end of the smart water meter body 1 is connected to a first connecting pipe 2, and the other end is connected to a transition pipe 3. A second connecting part 6 is fixed to the end of the transition pipe 3 away from the smart water meter body 1. One end of the second connecting pipe 4 is externally threaded, and the other end is fixed to a first connecting part 5. It also includes a locking mechanism, which is installed on the transition pipe 3 to connect and fix the first connecting part 5 and the second connecting part 6.
[0023] Multiple long locking holes 7 are provided on the first connecting part 5 along the circumferential direction. The long locking holes 7 are arc-shaped long holes. Multiple locking plates 14 that are adapted to the long locking holes 7 are fixed on the end face of the second connecting part 6. Each locking plate 14 has a locking part 15 at the same direction end. When the first connecting part 5 and the second connecting part 6 are attached, the locking part 15 is locked on the first connecting part 5. Multiple through holes 11 are provided on the second connecting part 6. Multiple limiting holes 8 are provided on the first connecting part 5. The through holes 11 and the limiting holes 8 are the same size. The locking mechanism includes a positioning plate 12 fixed on the outer surface of the adapter tube 3 and a moving plate 10 that is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the adapter tube 3. Multiple positioning heads 16 that are adapted to the through holes 11 are fixed on the moving plate 10. When the first connecting part 5 and the second connecting part 6 are attached, the positioning heads 16 are inserted into the limiting holes 8.
[0024] The outer ring of the adapter pipe 3 is fitted with a spring 13. The spring 13 is connected to the positioning plate 12 and the moving plate 10 respectively. The moving plate 10 can move by the elastic force of the spring 13. The moving plate 10 is provided with multiple displacement holes 18. A positioning protrusion 19 is fixed on the outer surface of the adapter pipe 3. The displacement holes 18 and the positioning protrusion 19 have the same shape. The diameter of the displacement holes 18 is larger than that of the positioning protrusion 19. The end of the adapter pipe 3 near the second connecting part 6 is provided with a sealing groove 9. The end of the second connecting pipe 4 near the first connecting part 5 is fixed with a sealing gasket 17 that matches the sealing groove 9.
[0025] During installation, first align the displacement hole 18 on the movable plate 10 with the positioning protrusion 19, and push the movable plate 10. At this time, the spring 13 is compressed, causing the locking plate 14 to be inserted into the locking elongated hole 7 respectively. Rotate the second connecting pipe 4, and the locking plate 14 slides in the locking elongated hole 7 until the locking part 15 is locked at the end of the locking elongated hole 7. At the same time, the through hole 11 and the limiting hole 8 are aligned. Slowly move the movable plate 10 closer to the second connecting part 6. After the movable plate 10 passes the positioning protrusion 19, rotate the movable plate 10 so that the positioning head 16 is inserted into the through hole 11 respectively. Then fix the first connecting pipe 2 and the second connecting pipe 4 onto the water pipe respectively. The operation is simple and convenient for disassembly and installation.
[0026] The implementation principle of a fully sealed, waterproof, and moisture-proof smart water meter according to this application embodiment is as follows: First, align the displacement hole 18 on the moving plate 10 with the positioning protrusion 19, and push the moving plate 10. At this time, the spring 13 is compressed, so that the locking plate 14 is aligned and inserted into the locking elongated hole 7. Rotate the second connecting pipe 4, and the locking plate 14 slides in the locking elongated hole 7 until the locking part 15 is locked at the end of the locking elongated hole 7. At the same time, the through hole 11 and the limiting hole 8 are aligned. Slowly move the moving plate 10 closer to the second connecting part 6. After the moving plate 10 passes the positioning protrusion 19, rotate the moving plate 10 so that the positioning head 16 is aligned with the through hole 11 and inserted. Then, fix the first connecting pipe 2 and the second connecting pipe 4 on the water pipe. The operation is simple and convenient for disassembly and installation.
