[0037] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Sealing mechanisms are provided between the gas meter cover and the battery filling area cover, as well as between the gas meter cover and the gas meter lower casing. This helps prevent moisture from the outside air from entering the gas meter through the gaps between the gas meter cover and the battery filling area cover, and between the gas meter cover and the gas meter lower casing. A locking mechanism is provided circumferentially between the gas meter cover and the gas meter lower casing, and they are connected by screws. This differs from directly locking the gas meter cover to the gas meter lower casing with screws, which helps prevent moisture from entering the gas meter through the holes in the gas meter cover used for screw installation. The fixing mechanism further ensures a tight connection between the gas meter cover and the gas meter lower casing, further preventing moisture from entering the gas meter through the gaps between them. This utility model improves the sealing performance of the gas meter, preventing corrosion of internal components caused by prolonged operation in humid environments.

[0038] It should be noted that in this application document, "moist vapor" refers to humid vapor, that is, tiny droplets diffused in humid air.

The sensing area 111 and the digital display area 112 are both through holes, and the transparent resin sheet 14 covers the sensing area 111 and the digital display area 112 and is sealed to the inner wall of the gas display area 11.

[0054] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned preferred solution are: the sensing area can replace the card insertion method in the existing gas meter by swiping the card, which reduces the possibility of moisture entering the gas meter; the transparent resin sheet can help prevent external moisture from entering the gas meter from the sensing area and the digital display area, while also transmitting the display information on the circuit board to the outside; the first snap-fit ​​hole and the first snap-fit ​​block can be detachably snapped together, which is conducive to applying pressure in the axial direction, so that the sealing ring and the sealing pressure ring are kept in abutting state.

[0055] It should be noted that in the preferred embodiment of this utility model, the card swiping method is in the form of NFC (Near Field Communication).
