Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas meter data acquisition technology, specifically to a gas meter data acquisition device. Background Technology

[0002] The gas meter's exterior only shows a small glass window displaying a digital roller with seven digits. The first four digits before the decimal point are black, and the last three are red. When the least significant digit rotates from 0 to 9, the preceding digit rotates, increasing the reading by one number – this is the carry-over. Clearly, this is a decimal counting device called a "roller counter." Traditional gas meters collect gas consumption data through a counting device. However, this technology has at least the following problems: Traditional counting devices only display the gas consumption value through the rotation of the digital roller. While this type of mechanical digital roller is quite common, allowing meter readers to visually observe the value, household members also need to visually observe the digital roller to obtain real-time gas usage information, which is time-consuming and laborious.

[0003] Chinese patent CN217654570U discloses a data acquisition device for a gas meter. It uses a scanning module and adopts the principle of infrared scanning. It can read the data on the digital roller in real time without obstructing it, and does not affect the normal meter reading work of the meter reader. The data is transmitted remotely through the management platform, which makes it convenient for users to monitor gas consumption in real time. The processing module, scanning module and communication module can be freely separated, which reduces the amount of wires used to a certain extent.

[0004] However, the problem with the existing technology is that most gas meters are now installed inside the cupboard in kitchens. The data acquisition device of the existing gas meter is not easy to remove from the gas meter, which makes it inconvenient for staff to read the data on the roller on site, and the device is not very practical.
