AI Technical Summary
Existing modular ultrasonic water meters are prone to moisture damage in humid environments, which can lead to malfunctions. When replacing or maintaining the modules, it is difficult to restore their airtightness.
Infrared communication is used to replace cable connections. A dark chamber is formed by combining a light-shielding silicone pad, plastic parts, an infrared metal cap, infrared glass, and an infrared silicone pad to achieve infrared communication between the flow meter module and the remote transmission module.
This avoids cable waterproofing issues, allows module replacement without compromising airtightness, and improves communication stability.
