[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a water meter waterproof testing device, including a housing 1, with a water-blocking plate 3 movably installed inside the housing 1. The water-blocking plate 3 can separate the internal space of the housing 1. In use, the water source for testing can be stored above the water-blocking plate 3 inside the housing 1. A cylinder 5 is fixedly connected inside the housing 1, and the top of the cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the water-blocking plate 3. The cylinder 5 can push the water-blocking plate 3 to move. By pushing the water-blocking plate 3 upward, the water level inside the housing 1 can be adjusted to facilitate testing. The housing 1 has a placement port 8, through which a water meter installed on a pipe can be placed inside the housing 1 for testing. The placement port 8 is provided with a fixing component for fixing the water meter, and the housing 1 is provided with a shielding component for closing the placement port 8.

[0022] The device includes two placement ports 8, located on the left and right sides of the outer casing 1, respectively. The fixing assembly includes an airbag 9 fixedly connected inside each placement port 8, with a common air guide tube 10 connecting the two airbags 9. A miniature air pump 11 is fixedly connected inside the outer casing 1, with its output end fixedly connected to an air delivery pipe 12. The other end of the air delivery pipe 12 penetrates the outer casing 1 and is fixedly connected to the air guide tube 10. Specifically, the miniature air pump 11 generates gas, which is then delivered into the airbag 9 via the air delivery pipe 12 and the air guide tube 10. This inflates the airbag 9, securing the water pipe placed in the placement port 8 and simultaneously sealing the port 8 to prevent leakage during testing.

[0023] The outer shell 1 has several vents 13, which are all located below the water-proof plate 3. A protective shell 17 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 1. The air supply pipe 12 and the air guide pipe 10 are both located inside the protective shell 17. The protective shell 17 can protect the air supply pipe 12 and the air guide pipe 10 and improve their service life.

[0024] The outer shell 1 has two sets of grooves 14, each set of grooves 14 is located on both sides of the placement opening 8, and each set of grooves 14 has a movable block 15 slidably connected inside, and each set of movable blocks 15 has a blocking plate 16 fixedly connected to it. The bottom end of each blocking plate 16 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 1. The movable block 15 can drive the blocking plate 16 to move flexibly, so that it can be used to block the placement opening 8 when not in use.

[0025] The outer casing 1 is fixedly connected to a water pressure plate 6, which is located between the water-blocking plate 3 and the placement port 8. The water pressure plate 6 has several water passage holes 7. The water pressure plate 6 can block the water source inside the outer casing 1, and the water passage holes 7 will not affect its performance.

[0026] The outer casing 1 has a cover plate 2 hinged to its upper end face, a control panel 18 fixedly connected to the outer casing 1, a storage battery 19 fixedly connected inside the outer casing 1, the storage battery 19 is located below the water-proof plate 3, and a sealing ring 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the water-proof plate 3. The control panel 18 allows for convenient operation of the device, the storage battery 19 provides power to the device, and the sealing ring 4 improves the water-blocking effect of the water-proof plate 3.

[0027] Working principle: When in use, the cover plate 2 can be opened, and the device can be moved directly from below the water meter upwards, so that the water meter enters the outer casing 1. The water pipe connected to the water meter is located in the placement port 8. Then, by starting the micro air pump 11, gas is generated and delivered to the air bladder 9 through the air supply pipe 12 and the air guide pipe 10, which can inflate the air bladder 9 and thus contact and fix the water pipe on the water meter, thereby sealing the placement port 8. Then, the cylinder 5 pushes the water baffle 3 upwards, which can move the water source inside the outer casing 1 upwards, thereby submerging the water meter. This allows for waterproof testing of the water meter. The operation method is relatively convenient and the testing effect is good.

[0028] 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.
