[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0017] Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0018] Reference Figure 1-3 A water meter copper cover disassembly and assembly device includes a collar 2, an inner adjusting strip 5, and a rotating assembly for rotating the collar 2. The collar 2 has symmetrical adjusting bolts 3 that penetrate the sidewalls. Each adjusting bolt 3 has symmetrically symmetrical square openings 40 on its sidewalls, oriented axially upwards. A rotating block 41 is inserted into each square opening 40, and the upper and lower surfaces of the rotating block 41 are rotatably mounted on the top and bottom walls of the square opening 40 via pins. The rotating block 41 has a through bolt hole 411, and a clamping bolt 4 is screwed into the bolt hole 411, screwed from the outside of the collar 2 to the inside. The inner adjusting strip 5 includes two symmetrical arc-shaped steel plates 51. A rubber layer 52 is fixed to the inner side of the arc-shaped steel plate 51. An installation block 7 is fixed in the middle of the outer wall of the arc-shaped steel plate 51. Two installation blocks 7 are rotatably sleeved on the ends of the adjusting bolts 3. Rotating parts are provided near both ends of the outer wall of the arc-shaped steel plate 51. The end of the extrusion bolt 4 inserted into the inner side of the collar 2 is rotated into the rotating part. The rotating assembly includes a rotating ring 1, four inserts 12 and a direction rotating rod 11. Four inserts 12 are evenly fixed at the bottom of the rotating ring 1. Two direction rotating rods 11 are symmetrically fixed on the outer wall of the rotating ring 1. Four square slots matching the four inserts 12 are evenly distributed on the collar 2.

[0019] Place the collar 2 over the copper cover of the water meter (the inner adjusting clip is already inside the collar). First, rotate the adjusting bolts 3 on both sides, causing them to push the inner adjusting clip 5 inward until it presses against the copper cover. Then, rotate the pressing bolt 4 so that it inserts into the rotating part. Next, rotate the pressing bolt 4 to allow the inner adjusting clip 5 to grip the copper cover until it is fully gripped and completely adhered to the copper cover. Insert the four inserts 12 into the square slots. By rotating the direction rod 11, the rotating ring 1 rotates, thereby rotating the collar 2 and the inner adjusting clip 5. Because the inner adjusting clip 5 tightly grips the copper cover, the copper cover can be removed. This device is used for various old water meters without matching copper cover sleeves, and it is suitable for various models of old water meters.

[0020] When the inner adjusting strip is unfolded to its maximum angle, the outer diameter of the circle formed by the two inner adjusting strips is 4 / 5 of the inner diameter of the collar 2. When the inner adjusting strip is compressed and deformed to its minimum angle, the outer diameter of the circle formed by the two inner adjusting strips is 3 / 5 of the inner diameter of the collar 2.

[0021] The outer diameter of the copper cover is 3 / 5-4 / 5 of the inner diameter of the collar 2. The water meter needs to be removed, as the change is too large and inconvenient to adjust.

[0022] The adjustment bolt 3 has a rotation range of 2cm, and the clamping bolt 4 has a rotation range of 3.5cm. The difference between the maximum and minimum outer diameters of the copper cover of the old water meter is within 2cm.

[0023] The rotating component includes two mounting plates 61 arranged symmetrically on top of each other and a plug-in rotating block 6. The plug-in rotating block 6 is inserted between the two mounting plates 61 and is rotatably connected to the plug-in rotating block 6 by a pin passing through the mounting plate 61. The plug-in rotating block 6 has a plug hole on its front side, and the inner end of the extrusion bolt 4 is rotatably inserted into the plug hole.

[0024] The two mounting plates 61 are fixed at their tail ends to the outer wall of the arc-shaped steel plate 51 to form a U-shaped opening, and the plug-in rotating block 6 is rotatably installed inside the U-shaped opening.

[0025] The inner and outer diameters of the rotating ring 1 are the same as those of the collar. The rotating ring 1, the four inserts 12, and the directional rotating rod 11 are integrally die-cast. This integral design provides better stability, and being made of metal, it is less prone to deformation and breakage.

[0026] The inner surface of the rubber layer 52 is provided with anti-slip protrusions. This prevents slipping and provides high friction.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
