[0027] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 The housing assembly includes an upper housing 201, a lower housing 202, a bolt seat 203, and a bolt 204;
[0028] The upper outer shell 201 and the lower outer shell 202 are detachably connected. Bolt seats 203 are fixedly installed on the outer sides of both the upper outer shell 201 and the lower outer shell 202. Bolts 204 are threadedly connected to bolt seats 203.
[0029] In this embodiment: the upper outer shell 201 and the lower outer shell 202 are fitted onto the outside of the water meter 1, and the bolt seats 203 provided on the upper outer shell 201 and the lower outer shell 202 are aligned. Bolts 204 are used to thread the bolt seats 203. The bolt seats 203 in the tightened state connect the upper outer shell 201 and the lower outer shell 202. The upper outer shell 201 and the lower outer shell 202 in the connected state are fitted onto the outside of the water meter 1. The upper outer shell 201 and the lower outer shell 202 in the connected state protect the water meter 1, and this structure facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the upper outer shell 201 and the lower outer shell 202.
[0030] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 The bolt seat 203 in the tightened state is used to connect and install the upper outer shell 201 and the lower outer shell 202, and the upper outer shell 201 and the lower outer shell 202 in the connected state are sleeved on the outside of the water meter 1.
[0031] In this embodiment: Bolt 204 is used to connect to bolt seat 203 by thread. When bolt seat 203 is tightened, the upper outer shell 201 and the lower outer shell 202 are connected and installed. The upper outer shell 201 and the lower outer shell 202 are then fitted and installed on the outside of water meter 1.
[0032] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 The button assembly includes a rotating rod 205, a connecting ring 207, a bracket 209, a button 2010, a spring 2011, and two slots 208;
[0033] The rotating rod 205 is rotatably connected to the upper housing 201. The connecting ring 207 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 205. The slot 208 is opened on the surface of the connecting ring 207. The bracket 209 is fixedly connected to the outside of the upper housing 201. The button 2010 is rotatably connected to the bracket 209. The spring 2011 is fixedly installed on the outside of the upper housing 201, and the end of the spring 2011 is fixedly connected to the protrusion of the button 2010.
[0034] In this embodiment: By pressing the protrusion of button 2010 with a hand, the protrusion of button 2010 compresses spring 2011, causing spring 2011 to be compressed. Button 2010 rotates about the center point of bracket 209 away from connecting ring 207. The bent portion of button 2010 in this rotating state separates from a slot 208. The separated button 2010 and slot 208 release the rotation limit on rotating rod 205. Then, rotating rod 205 causes transparent baffle 206 to rotate outwards, opening the opening of upper housing 201. Then, button 2010 can be released. 010, the spring 2011 in the reset state drives the button 2010 to rotate towards the connecting ring 207. The bent part of the button 2010 in the direction of rotating towards the connecting ring 207 engages with another slot 208. The other slot 208 and the button 2010 in the engaged state lock and limit the rotation of the transparent baffle 206, keeping the transparent baffle 206 in the open state, which facilitates the maintenance of the water meter 1. After the water meter 1 is maintained, the rotating rod 205 drives the transparent baffle 206 to rotate inward. The transparent baffle 206 in the inward rotating state closes the opening of the upper outer shell 201, and as mentioned above, locks and limits the rotation of the transparent baffle 206.
[0035] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 The transparent baffle 206 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 205. The transparent baffle 206 in the outward rotation state is used to open the opening of the upper outer shell 201, and the transparent baffle 206 in the inward rotation state is used to close the opening of the upper outer shell 201.
[0036] In this embodiment: the rotating rod 205 drives the transparent baffle 206 to rotate outward, and the transparent baffle 206 in the outward rotating state opens the opening of the upper outer shell 201. The rotating rod 205 drives the transparent baffle 206 to rotate inward, and the transparent baffle 206 in the inward rotating state closes the opening of the upper outer shell 201.
[0037] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 4 The slot 208 is used for the bent part of the button 2010 to be inserted into it, and the slot 208 and the button 2010 in the engaged state are used to lock and limit the rotation of the transparent baffle 206.
[0038] In this embodiment: the spring 2011 in the reset state drives the button 2010 to rotate towards the connecting ring 207. The bent part of the button 2010 in the state of rotating towards the connecting ring 207 engages with another slot 208. The other slot 208 in the engaged state and the button 2010 lock and limit the rotation of the transparent baffle 206.
[0039] Working principle: First, the upper outer shell 201 and the lower outer shell 202 are fitted onto the outside of the water meter 1, and the bolt seats 203 on the upper outer shell 201 and the lower outer shell 202 are aligned. Bolts 204 are used to connect the bolt seats 203 with threads. The bolt seats 203 in the tightened state connect the upper outer shell 201 and the lower outer shell 202. The connected upper outer shell 201 and the lower outer shell 202 are fitted onto the outside of the water meter 1. The connected upper outer shell 201 and the lower outer shell 202 protect the water meter 1, and this structure facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the upper outer shell 201 and the lower outer shell 202.
[0040] When water meter 1 needs maintenance, press the protrusion of button 2010 to compress spring 2011. Spring 2011 is compressed, and button 2010 rotates away from connecting ring 207 around the center point of bracket 209. The bent part of button 2010 in this rotating state separates from a slot 208, releasing the rotation limit on rotating rod 205. Rotating rod 205 then causes transparent baffle 206 to rotate outwards, opening the opening of upper housing 201. Releasing button 2010 then returns spring 2011 to its reset state. 11 drives the button 2010 to rotate towards the connecting ring 207. The bent part of the button 2010 in the rotating state towards the connecting ring 207 engages with another slot 208. The other slot 208 and the button 2010 lock and limit the rotation of the transparent baffle 206, keeping the transparent baffle 206 in the open state, which facilitates the maintenance of the water meter 1. After the water meter 1 is maintained, the rotating rod 205 drives the transparent baffle 206 to rotate inward. The transparent baffle 206 in the inward rotating state closes the opening of the upper outer shell 201. As mentioned above, the rotation of the transparent baffle 206 is locked and limited, so the water meter 1 can be maintained without disassembling the upper outer shell 201 and the lower outer shell 202.
[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
